I'm the substitute and I'm with the real master

Surprised by Cui Lingjing's words, Xueya didn't answer for a while, until Cui Lingjing squeezed his hand impatiently, he managed to squeeze out a few words, "I...don't know."

Cui Lingjing looked at Xueya, her expression was still cold, "I don't know?"

"I separated from him very early." Xueya said the lie he came up with on the way back to Shangjing, "I regretted it not long after I left the palace. There was a quarrel, and His Majesty's people came after me, and the Queen Mother separated from me. As for where he went, I don't know."

In order to make Cui Lingjing believe him, Xueya tried hard not to avert her gaze, but Cui Lingjing's next words made him shudder.

"It's useless to keep a lying tongue, take a flower and cut it." Cui Lingjing said the second half of the sentence to the eunuch.

Seeing that the eunuch really cut his hair, Xue Ya was so frightened that his legs limp and sat on the ground. He watched the eunuch come back hastily, and deeply realized that it was Cui Lingjing who was in charge of his life at this time.

Xue Ya is afraid of pain and also afraid of death. Although he thought that the only way to go back would be death, he still couldn't face the pain and death calmly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, I... I didn't lie, I really don't know where the Queen Mother has gone, I separated from him, Your Majesty..."

While begging for mercy, Cui Lingjing had already taken the flower scissors, and Xueya's hole was enlarged. Seeing Cui Lingjing's eyes turned to his lips, she panicked and backed away with a scream.

Cui Lingjing narrowed his eyes, and the eunuch immediately stepped forward and dragged Xueya to Cui Lingjing.The flower scissors got closer and closer, even her jaw was pulled down forcefully, Xue Ya's eyes darkened, and she passed out.

When he woke up again, he was no longer in the imperial study, but a strange and gorgeous palace.

Xue Ya looked at the decorations in the hall suspiciously, and suddenly thought that Cui Lingjing was going to cut his tongue after she passed out, so she quickly touched his neck, opened her mouth, and was relieved when she found that her tongue was still there.

It's just that this tone didn't last long, because he was still in the palace after all.Although the original Cui Lingjing was uncertain, it had never been like this.

Just thinking of Cui Lingjing made Xue Ya feel scared.

Because she didn't know where she was, Xue Ya got up and got out of bed, the hall must have been burnt with earth dragons, it was very warm.He turned around in the inner hall, but when he saw no one else, he went out again.

There is a beaded curtain at the junction of the inner hall and the outer hall. When Xueya moved it open, the beaded curtain made a sound, and the hall door was pushed open immediately.

"Your Majesty is awake, do you have an order?" There were two eunuchs outside the palace gate.

Xue Ya noticed the address in the other party's mouth, they called him empress, could it be that Cui Lingjing really wanted to make him a noble concubine?

But why?

Not only did Cui Lingjing not kill him, but he also made him such a high-ranking imperial concubine. Xue Ya always felt that there was something wrong with it, and it was not a good thing.

It was still dark at this time, Xue Ya hesitated for a while, then shook her head, "It's all right, but where is this?"

"This is the Beauty Pavilion. Your Majesty specially gave her a place to live. If you don't have orders, you'd better go back to bed and rest. Tomorrow is an important day. If you don't rest well, it's okay." Although the eunuchs called him Niang, their tone was not respectful.

Xueya had no choice but to go back to bed first, but he didn't feel sleepy, and he didn't feel sleepy until dawn.

He stayed in this hall all day, and tried to go out halfway, but was stopped by the eunuchs outside. In the afternoon, some palace servants came in to bathe and change clothes for him.

The bathing procedure this time was more cumbersome than yesterday, and so was the headgear, which was so heavy that Xue Ya could hardly lift her head.The bright red embroidered golden begonia wide-sleeved brocade coat is paired with a chest-length light red skirt, and the fox fur collar hides the exposed skin. This outfit is far more grand than yesterday.

The nanny who put on Xue Ya's makeup also stuffed a round fan for Xue Ya to cover her face.

After dressing up, Xue Ya got into the soft sedan chair and went to the palace where the banquet was held.When he arrived, the banquet had already started, hearing the sound of silk and bamboo inside, Xue Ya's hand holding the round fan was sweating.

He didn't know what Cui Lingjing wanted to do, could it be that he really made him a noble concubine?But...he doesn't want to be Cui Lingjing's imperial concubine.

After thinking wildly for a moment, the palace man behind him urged Xueya to go in.Xueya had no choice but to bite the bullet and step into the hall. Once inside, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped suddenly.

Cui Lingjing sat at the head, tilted his body and looked at Xue Ya who came in from outside, there was no expression on his face until Xue Ya knelt down and saluted him.

"Come here." Cui Lingjing said in front of all civil and military officials.

Xue Ya gritted her teeth, got up and walked towards Cui Lingjing. When she passed by, he saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but tilt her head.

He tilted his head, and the golden step shaking on his head followed, making a crisp sound.

It was Yin Qingxuan.

Yin Qingxuan was looking at him, but when he looked over, Yin Qingxuan turned his eyes away again.

Seeing this, Xue Ya withdrew her eyes, Yin Qingxuan would not save him, so he should not expect extravagantly.

Even if Xue Ya wanted to delay time and walked more slowly, but the size of the palace was always limited, he still walked up to Cui Lingjing, before he could say "Your Majesty", he was jerked and fell into Cui Lingjing's dragon chair above.

The officials below were visibly agitated, and some voices began to be heard. Xue Ya faintly heard a few words, saying that they violated the ancestral precepts, disregarded the dignity of the royal family, and let others sit on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, I'd better get up, I can't sit here." Xue Ya wanted to get up in a panic, but Cui Lingjing put her arms around his shoulders.

"Why can't you sit? If I let you sit, you can sit." Cui Lingjing sneered, and turned to call Qin Tianjian.

Qin Tianjian immediately got up from his seat, went to the middle of the main hall and had a long conversation. Xue Ya didn't understand, but vaguely knew that he was talking about him because his name was mentioned.

And following the voice of Qin Tian Jian Jian Zheng, the discussion among the officials became louder, and as soon as Qin Tian Jian Jian Zheng finished speaking, some ministers got up.

"Your Majesty, conferring a man as a concubine requires careful consideration. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Although there are many good men among the people, there is a general principle of human relations. Men are yang, women are yin, and the combination of yin and yang is orthodox. Your Majesty has no heirs, and it should be more The most important thing is my Li Dynasty's unification."

After the minister finished speaking, many ministers stood up and echoed.

Cui Lingjing listened to what the ministers said without changing his face, and said coldly: "It's over? After it's over, I will tell you. I want to make him a noble concubine, and he is a noble concubine. If you have any objections, then I will make him a queen. Not only seal him up, but I also want to announce to the world, and order it down, starting from tomorrow, the whole country will celebrate together for three days, the market will not stop at night, every household must hang red cloth with colorful lights, anyone who violates it will be beheaded, and if there is any objection whoever, beheaded."

The two "cuts" are easy to say, but they are creepy.Cui Lingjing admired the expressions of all the ministers in the hall, suddenly hugged Xue Ya, and pulled off the round fan that Xue Ya covered her face with.

"Look, my loves, how beautiful is my concubine Xuegui? It would be a pity if only I could see such a beautiful person, so I am going to build a golden body for Concubine Xuegui, build a temple, put the golden body inside, and order the people worship."

As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet hall exploded again, but Cui Lingjing didn't care what those ministers said at all, even if those ministers spoke sincerely, he still drank his wine.

Cui Lingjing finally put down his wine glass until an old minister yelled "I would like to remonstrate Your Majesty with death" and bumped his head against a high pillar in the hall.

With a gloomy face, he covered his lips with a handkerchief, and spit out two words——

"unlucky."

Xue Ya thought Cui Lingjing was crazy.

The small palace banquet was held until late at night, the officials were not in the mood to have fun, and they couldn't even laugh. After all, only the ministers died in front of him, but Cui Lingjing seemed to be a normal person, and Xueya sitting next to him suffered a lot. .

After finally surviving the banquet, he returned to the Beauty Pavilion to take a shower and change clothes, and when he was about to sleep and end this terrifying day, a notification came from outside.

Cui Lingjing is here.

The eunuch who notified Xue Ya to dress up quickly, saying that His Majesty favored him.
