Why are the women in the harem tearing up

***

Recently, many strange things have happened in the palace. It seems that all the unrests are rushing. First, the Tatars entered the customs on New Year's Eve, and then the emperor's most beloved general Wei died in battle. At this juncture, Concubine Liu Cha's palace Even more uneasy.

On New Year's Eve, when the army was ready to go, the grand lady in the Tea Concubine Palace was ordered to go out of the palace to follow the army's elder brother Liu, to put it bluntly, never to return.Not long after this happened, it was good, another thing happened - Liu Chafei turned into a butterfly and flew away.

The palace daughters were in a state of panic. They all said that this year's New Year's Eve was unlucky, and everything was on New Year's Eve. Someone who was well-informed also reported a scandal that the princess eloped with the guards on New Year's Eve.

These things became more and more evil as they spread, until the final version was comparable to Butterfly Lovers.Some people say that the day when Concubine Liu Chafei's grand lady Qing Rong disappeared was also full of butterflies, some people said that the relics of General Wei were also surrounded by butterflies when they returned, and some people said that the guard who bewitched the princess had butterflies carved on his arm.

The colors and appearances of the butterflies are vividly described in each word.

Yuan Ya, the little court lady who was in charge of feeding fish in the imperial garden, didn't really believe this, but occasionally passing by the gate of Concubine Liu Chafei's palace, she couldn't help shivering, especially at night.

Especially recently, there will always be rustling voices over there.

From the Royal Garden back to the residence of the court ladies, the gate of Concubine Liu Cha's palace is the only way to pass, and Yuan Ya must hold her breath and close her eyes every time to rush through that section of the road.Unfortunately, when she was rushing forward today, the lantern she was carrying snapped, and Yuan Ya stood where she was, watching helplessly as the round lantern rolled into the narrowly opened palace gate.

The gap is not too big or too small, just big enough for a lantern to roll in unimpeded.

Yuan Ya almost burst into tears, gritted her teeth at the door, and was about to go inside.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he bumped into a person head-on.

She raised her voice and screamed, but the person in front of her didn't stop her, and gently raised the lantern, and waited for her shouting to be exhausted before speaking: "It's me, the little mosquito in the empress's palace."

Yuan Ya took a closer look, and it was not the little mosquito who was holding the lantern.

"Little Father Mosquito..." Her voice was still hoarse, with a trembling cry.

"Scared you, I'm here to fetch some old things under the order of the empress." The little mosquito explained that the rumors in the palace have become more and more true recently, and it's not bad that the palace ladies are afraid, even he, an insider, has to Admire, the instigator of this rumor must be a storyteller.

After finally sending Yuan Ya away, the person hiding in the dark said impatiently: "Trouble, it would be better if I knocked her out."

Little Mosquito frowned, "How could you do this! If you break into the palace again in the future, I won't cover you up anymore. The empress will be beheaded if she finds out."

The uncle who broke into the palace was Xiao Wuyang, the leader of the Demon Cult's Assassination Hall.

Speaking of the entanglement between Little Mosquito and Xiao Wuyang, one has to mention Liu Chafei's story of "turning into a butterfly and flying away".

Xiao Wuyang has a storyteller neighbor under the overpass, named Qingrong, presumably that is the big court lady in the previous legend, every day when he eats, he talks about her tea concubine her tea concubine in his ears, Xiao Wuyang's ears were hardened by the nagging, so he decided to sneak into the palace and kidnap him.

Coincidentally, the weather was fine that day, and there were quite a few people who came out to admire the moon at night. He was about to leave with the tea concubine when he bumped into this little eunuch blinking his big eyes.

By the way, that night, the legendary empress was still peeping in the grass nest, Xiao Wuyang was afraid of her embarrassment, so he didn't expose it.

Later, the queen made up the story of turning into a butterfly and flying away.

***

One of the parties involved in the story, the storyteller Miss Qing Rong said that the story was not very good.

Xiao Wuyang lay on the table and looked at the tea concubine and Qing Rong who were sitting cross-legged and eating melon seeds facing each other, and he couldn't help but lamented that the world could not tolerate him.The two people on the opposite side were chatting and gossiping together, during which time they kept eating melon seeds, and in a blink of an eye there were two piles on the small wooden table.

"I didn't care about these things at first, but I heard people say that His Royal Highness recently visited the people and brought back a man from the Qinhuai area. The East Palace is full of songs every night." Her reservedness was there, "This Concubine De has really committed crimes, her sons and daughters don't worry about it, and she is the one who loves to cry."

After she finished speaking, she took a sip of tea and rinsed her mouth.

"When I was writing a book recently, I also heard a lot of things from my colleagues. Of course, I didn't care about these things at first. I just heard that the man is really handsome. I'm afraid he can compare with the little general Wei back then. High or low." Qing Rong blew on a handful of peeled melon seeds in her hand, and after blowing off the debris, she stretched her hand in front of Liu Chengxi's face.

"I've heard some rumors about this person's appearance, but I didn't know it by accident, I just heard it by accident - most of the rumors say that the man's appearance is not like ordinary people, but I heard another version by chance, and I think it's interesting. "Liu Chengxi rolled her tongue and ate half of the melon seeds in Qing Rong's palm. She chewed and said, "Although there are many legends about that man, I heard that he never showed his face in front of others. It's not that the face is pretty, I'm afraid it's..."

Speaking of this, Liu Chengxi made a fool of herself, who knew that Qing Rong would look at her and smile, with an expression of understanding.

Xiao Wuyang couldn't help but asked aside, "I'm afraid what is it?"

Qingrong smiled strangely again, and waited for Liu Chengxi to finish eating the melon seeds in her palm before saying: "Axi, look, does he look so stupid now that he doesn't understand anything, just like the little mosquito back then?"

"Like." Liu Chengxi chewed melon seeds contentedly, smiling while chewing.

Xiao Wuyang wanted to shake his face.As a result, after hearing the words "Little Mosquito", the little eunuch's big eyes were all in his mind, and he said every day that he would no longer protect him, but every time he sneaked into the palace, the little eunuch carefully opened the door for him. cover.

In fact, with his skill, there is no need to cover up!

He knocked on the table, drawing the attention of the two people who were grinning crookedly over there, "Ask me, what does the little eunuch like best?"

Qing Rong glanced at Liu Chengxi first, then smiled with a slanted corner of her mouth, "You want to know?"

Xiao Wuyang pretended to be reserved and nodded with a cold face.

"I want to know..." Qingrong smiled meanly, "What benefits do we have?"

"How about this, let me take a look at the man's appearance for you, what do you think?" Xiao Wuyang said through gritted teeth, resisting the thought of tearing Qing Rong's smiling face apart.

Qing Rong glanced at Liu Chengxi, Liu Chengxi looked very interested, and agreed immediately, "Deal." After finishing speaking, she coughed dignifiedly, "Of course, I don't care about this, but Since you have opened your mouth, it is not good for everyone to be friends."

Xiao Wuyang imitated them and said, "I didn't care at all, but can you tell me quickly! Quickly tell me what that little eunuch likes!"

If it wasn't for the fat man next door, Zhou Budu, who was having an in-depth exchange with his immediate boss, the leader of the Devil's Cult once a month, he wouldn't be too lazy to listen to two senior gossip women chatting back and forth in the tone unique to the palace!

Liu Chengxi laughed "goose goose goose" three times, "I don't know what he likes, but I know that the little mosquito hates being called a little eunuch the most."

Xiao Wuyang slapped his head, no wonder it's been so long, the little eunuch who is obviously soft-tempered doesn't give him a good look, they all blame him for rubbing his head and calling "little eunuch" as soon as they meet.

"Little mosquitoes like to eat meat the most. Fat ones, thin ones, streaky ones, chicken, beef and pork," said the old god Qingrong, "because he was poor and hungry when he was young, now as long as you are in front of him Put a piece of meat here, and he can look like a hungry wolf."

***

Xiao Wuyang, who got the inside news, happily put the chicken in his arms and kept on cooking, humming a song and sneaking into the palace again.

in broad daylight.

Little Mosquito was holding a dust whisk, and was teaching the new little court lady the rules with a straight face. The doll had two big eyes embedded in its face, no matter how cute it looked, Xiao Wuchang would shudder just looking at it. With joy in my heart.

He whistled at Little Mosquito, and Little Mosquito looked this way, the expression on his face was indescribably wonderful, he sent everyone around him away in a panic, and moved closer to Xiao Wuyang, impatient Said: "Should I stop talking, the palace is so dangerous, you dare to come in in broad daylight now, what if something happens! I have no ability, but I can't protect you."

Xiao Wuyang didn't reply, thinking to himself, "But I have the ability, I can protect both of us", he took out the still warm roast chicken from his arms and stuffed it into the little mosquito's hands, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, It's still hot."

When the little mosquito saw the meat, his starry eyes really popped up, and he couldn't control his saliva when he saw the meat. Xiao Wuyang smiled and stuffed a piece of chicken leg into his mouth.The little mosquito ate while laughing, its mouth full of oil.

Xiao Wuyang wiped his mouth for him, "It's delicious, I'll bring it to you later."

The little mosquito, who was full, managed to regain his senses, but his eyes were still smiling and curved brightly, "Why is this roast chicken still hot?"

"That's not right. I carried it all the way in my arms, for fear that it would not taste good if it got cold."

As soon as the words fell, the little mosquito went to tug on his front.

Xiao Wuyang was startled by the opening of the little mosquito, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, "You... this is too urgent, even if you are moved, you can't just take off my clothes."

Little Mosquito was ignorant and didn't understand what he said, so he poked the big red patch on his chest, and said in a low voice, "Hey, you are not afraid of getting burned."

"I have rough skin and thick flesh..." Before Xiao Wuyang finished speaking, the little mosquito puffed up his cheeks and looked like he wanted to cry, so scared that he quickly circled around him, "What's wrong, what's wrong, roast chicken is not good Eat? I won’t buy that one in the future.”

Little Mosquito didn't speak, said you wait, then ran towards his residence, the whisk fell on the ground before he could take care of it.

Xiao Wuyang picked up Fuchen and patted the dirt on it.

"This little mosquito, this big man, just can't change his rash temper."

Suddenly a voice sounded behind Xiao Wuyang, it was the current queen, Ms. Zheng Yuanlian, who was wearing a bright pink robe and wandering in front of the previous queen's bedroom all day long.

She glanced at the whisk in Xiao Wuyang's hand, and said: "If you dare to ask this hero's name, of course, I don't care about this at all, but since you've come to my territory, it's not good not to ask. "

Xiao Wuyang really knew the way people in the palace used to speak, and this was undoubtedly the empress with a "goose" smile, "Hello, empress, I am Xiao Wuyang."

"Hero Xiao..." Zheng Yuanlian patted it on his own, and glanced at the whisk in his hand, with a very malicious tone, "I feel that our fate is very close."

As soon as she finished saying this, she turned around and strolled towards the former empress' bedroom with lazy steps, and said without looking back while walking, "There will be a time later."

She didn't even give Xiao Wuyang a chance to speak, so she walked and muttered to herself: "It's late today, and I'm afraid she will be unhappy with her willful temper."

After thinking about it, he pursed his lips and laughed out loud.

Not long after Zheng Yuanlian left, Little Mosquito came back panting, his cheeks were flushed red, he didn't even catch his breath, and opened Xiao Wuyang's lapel again.Before Xiao Wuyang could react, there was an icy chill on his chest, and the little mosquito was rubbing the ointment on it with his fingers.

Xiao Wuyang looked at his pink fingernails, suddenly touched his head lightly with the whisk, and said, "I'll take you out of the palace."

The little mosquito took a step back, waved his hands and said "no no no".

Xiao Wuyang still sneaked into the palace every day, sometimes waiting for the little mosquito on the way back to the queen's palace, sometimes hanging on the tree, seeing the little mosquito stuffing a piece of meat into his mouth, and helping him wipe the oil on his mouth.

He asked the little mosquito again and again if he would go out of the palace with him.

Every time, the little mosquito who was smiling and immersed in eating meat one second, closed his eyes and waved his hands guardedly the next second.

Xiao Wuyang was puzzled, so he could only ask Qingrong again.

Qing Rong didn't speak, and it was Liu Chengxi who spoke up: "If you want me to say, the little mosquito is a confidant specially trained by Eunuch Mou for the empress, you have to start with the empress in this matter."

Xiao Wuyang felt that it made sense, and repeatedly praised Liu Chengxi for having an idea.

After the compliment, Liu Chengxi did not move, and was still looking at him eagerly. Xiao Wuyang suddenly realized that he almost forgot about it, so he quickly took out the portrait and patted it on the table. Exactly the same."

Qing Rong couldn't hold it up at first, but when Liu Chengxi saw the portrait, his face changed, and Qing Rong hurried over to take a look.

"I didn't remember it wrong, did I?" Liu Chengxi looked at Qing Rong with a ghostly look on his face.

"Probably not." Qing Rong stared at the portrait carefully. She knew that Xiao Wuyang's portrait was superb, but she didn't question the deviation of the portrait. "Old Xiao, are you sure you read it right? Could it be some disguise technique? some type of?"

Xiao Wuyang didn't understand why these two people reacted so strongly. The man was indeed as handsome as the rumors said, "I am the most proficient in disguise. This face is definitely the real face of that man."

"That's not right..." Liu Chengxi muttered, "This man looks exactly like the late General Wei."
