Congratulations to me? "Guo Shaojun quickly turned his attention to Bu Qi who was kneeling quietly aside.
"I dare not, I'm guilty." Bu Qi also kowtowed.
"I see that your Bu family's wolfish ambition can't be hidden!" Guo Shaojun was furious.
"I dare not!" Bu Wei and Bu Qinyan got up and knelt down together.
After getting angry, facing the ministers kneeling in a row, Guo Shaojun sneered and said:
"Don't dare, what else does your Bu family not dare to do?"
When the queen's figure suddenly fell short, An Lu subconsciously knelt down as well.Hearing the emperor's scolding, An Lu felt an unknown fire in his heart, how could such a good person be so suspicious by you.She didn't forget the scene where the queen fought two against one. She was the queen, so why didn't she have a guard around her?
"Your Majesty, I don't know anything about the dancing girl. Someone must have framed her. Please ask Your Majesty to investigate clearly." Although Bu Qi said something as usual, he knew it was useless.Not to mention that the emperor is now in a fit of anger, even the emperor is usually looking for the small pigtails of the Bu family carefully, and wants to get rid of them quickly.How could he give up today's great opportunity? He can only blame himself for his carelessness, and he just asks not to implicate the entire Bu family.
"Sophistry! Bu Qi, you want to use the power of the Bu family to write off this assassination? You think too much of your Bu family! From my point of view, you, the Minister of the Ministry of War, have done it well!"
"Your Majesty, the Bu family is loyal, and Bu Qi, Minister of the Ministry of War, is also loyal. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Bu Wei pleaded.
"I only saw the ambition of a wolf, and someone came to draw up an order." Guo Shaojun said quickly, obviously not wanting to give Bu Wei a chance to refute.
"The guilty minister, Bu Qi, will immediately be demoted to the staff of Rongcheng, and there will be no delay in moving out of the capital within three days! Let Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War take over as the new minister of the Ministry of War."
"I obey the order." Although Bu Qi was extremely reluctant, but the emperor was angry now, in order to avoid dragging down the family, Bu Qi immediately agreed.
"Criminal Qi Hao, due to improper management, the culprits took advantage of the opportunity to remove the Longcheng Weidu unified post and relegate to the city defense army. As for the new Longchengweidutong, let the deputy capital take over, and so on."
"The minister leads the order."
"Empress!" Guo Shaojun glanced at Bu Qinyan, paused and said, "Several times, there have been many accidents in the palace, I ordered you to be confined for half a year, and Feng Yin will be under the care of Concubine De for the time being."
"The concubine obeys the order."
In this banquet, the Bu family was affected the most: Bu Qi was relegated from a high-ranking official in the capital to a small border official, and Bu Qinyan was even more in danger of being deposed.Although the emperor was frightened, he was not in danger, and instead pulled out one of the thorns in his eyes.This made the ministers below wonder whether this was a play directed and performed by the emperor himself.And the real murderer is also very satisfied with this result, the more dangerous the relationship between the emperor and the Bu family, the greater the chance of their success.The only fly in the ointment is that the two important official positions that were vacated did not fall on their people, but they were firmly controlled by the emperor.
An Lu followed the queen into the car and rushed to Fengqi Palace, feeling lingering fears about today's disaster.Emotions are far away, rationality is back, and the suspicion of human nature makes An Lu have to think about whether the queen's actions to protect her today have ulterior motives.If the queen is not ten times sure of her own life, it is because she has enough value for the queen to still protect herself in such a dangerous situation.
And An Lu is very self-aware of herself, just because of the appearance of the queen threatening her a few days ago, she is inclined to the former.
After getting in the car, Bu Qinyan took a look at An Lu and was relieved to find that her clothes were only cut by the sword blade and she was not injured.She had some expectations for today's threat, but she didn't expect those people to be so bold as to openly assassinate the emperor.
"Are you scared today?" Bu Qinyan said suddenly.
Before the doubt in An Lu's eyes could be put away, he met the queen's gaze, and said truthfully:
"Naturally, I was scared. If it wasn't for the empress to protect me, the slaves would have died."
"Are you wondering why I saved you?" Bu Qinyan took the initiative, the doubt in An Lu's eyes just now did not escape her eyes.
"Yes." An Lu swallowed, and met the queen's eyes.
"I save as much as I want, with so many reasons." Bu Qinyan's reasons were extremely domineering, and deep down in her heart, she was a little inexplicable about her actions today.It was a subconscious move at first, but later when he was about to lose, he wanted to give up on this person. Finally, because of An Lu's action of sending the sword, Bu Qinyan gave up this idea.
"Oh."
"Has the empress ever been injured?" An Lu asked, although she stared at the queen almost the whole time, she was sometimes negligent.If the queen was injured because of her, An Lu would feel very sorry.
"I just remembered to ask now, isn't it too late?" Bu Qinyan said lightly, but she didn't mean to blame her.
The previous stab, because of the obstruction of the clothes, and because Bu Qinyan was not completely innocent, the wound was not deep, and the bleeding may have stopped at this time.Compared with the clothes she wore when practicing martial arts, Bu Qinyan's court clothes today were indeed bulky; however, because the court clothes were relatively thick, the long sword that had been unloaded several times by herself could not pierce through the clothes at all.In addition, although these swords have been sharpened, they are not very sharp, otherwise it will be too easy to show one's feet, and the gain outweighs the loss.
"The atmosphere in the hall was too serious just now, and the servants were thinking wildly after getting in the car, don't blame me." An Lu heard that there was nothing wrong with her tone, so she was relieved.
"Those two people's kung fu is mediocre. If I had a weapon in my hand earlier, I would be able to kill them without the Dragon City Guard."
The carriage fell into silence, and An Lu regretted his hesitation.In the face of life and death, she was still unable to put the queen's life ahead of her own.If it was Xia Shuang, she should not hesitate to protect the Lord with her body instead of the other way around.Moreover, Xia Shuang's martial arts skills can also help the queen.
"Miss."
"Huh?" Xu was too tired from fighting today. In the swaying carriage, Bu Qinyan's voice was a little sleepy, and the nasal hum made An Lu's ears itch.
"Slave wants to learn martial arts." An Lu tentatively said, but if he is not so useless today, he can help a little.
"Such things don't happen every day, so you don't need to be nervous." Bu Qinyan sat up.
"Slaves don't want to be as powerful as the empress, but at least a little bit of self-protection ability is better than being completely a burden today."
"Practicing martial arts is hard work, and I suffered a lot because of this before I entered the palace."
Seeing that the queen didn't immediately dismiss it, An Lu seemed to ask her to think carefully before making a decision. She already had a decision in her heart:
"It's better to endure hardship now than to have nothing to fight back when something happens."
"At that time, don't let Bengong take back his life. It just so happens that Bengong will be too busy during the six-month ban." Bu Qinyan said with a smile.
"Thank you, my servant, I will definitely live up to my expectations."
Bu Qinyan looked at the anticipation in An Lu's eyes, and withdrew her idea of giving her hands to others.Just think of it as a review of how Dad taught at that time.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me now, I have left you a surprise." Bu Qinyan said mysteriously, and then closed her eyes again, as if she didn't want to say anything.
31、Surprise
An Lu thought that he would soon arrive at Fengqi Palace, and since the empress didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more.But when it was quiet, the scenes of the banquet flashed into my mind again, especially when the two assassins came over, the queen stood in front of him without saying a word.Maybe there are other plans behind risking protection, but the first move was out of true feelings.
When the car arrived at Fengqi Palace, An Lu originally wanted to go to the restaurant to see if he still had a chance to eat.Because of today's accident, the banquet ended earlier, maybe she still has a chance.
"An Lu, come back."
Hearing Buqinyan's voice, An Lu's footsteps turned sharply, and returned to Buqinyan's side obediently, and his heart was still scratched by the hot pot in Shanju.It's just that An Lu felt something was wrong the closer he got to Fengqi Palace.A familiar scent wafted from the direction of Fengqi Palace, making the little glutton in An Lu's stomach come out.
"Ma'am." An Lu looked at the queen with bright eyes, she already knew what surprise was.
"I made a mistake. I forgot that your nose is so sensitive to food." Bu Qinyan's tone was full of annoyance and teasing.
"Leave first." Bu Qinyan said to the ladies behind her, only An Lu was left.
"Yes." Although those people could smell the leaked fragrance, they stopped there.
Under Bu Qinyan's signal, An Lu pushed open the gate of Fengqi Palace.
There were two more round tables in the empty hall, one of which was occupied by several palace officials and Dongzhu from the dining room; the other one was seated by Xia Shuang and four people An Lu didn't know, and there were two people sitting on it. It is self-evident who the vacancy belongs to.
In the middle of the two tables there is a pot of soup base that looks delicious. This is because An Lu replaced the original monotonous porridge base with bone soup base, wild mushroom soup base, etc. under certain conditions.In short, the current hot pot bottom is not the only one that thrives on white porridge.Later, Gu Heng drew inferences from one instance and made a soup base made from medicinal materials.An Lu is not sensitive to this, but it is good news for some people who want to eat hot pot but are worried about their health.With the addition of medicinal materials, hot pot has also become a medicinal diet.As for the taste, the beholder sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom.
To say that An Lu's foodie spirit is powerful, normal people have experienced the assassination just now, and they are somewhat uncomfortable with the current surprise.After seeing everything in front of him, An Lu put the previous assassination behind him, leaving only food.Xu had the previous experience of facing Sun Hua's corpse, but this time he only heard some screams, and An Lu was already immune.
And An Lu was moved by the surprise the queen prepared for her. If there was no accident today, she would definitely be hungry as a servant girl.It was beyond An Lu's expectation that the queen would think of her so much.
"Do you like this surprise?" Seeing An Lu's dazed look, Bu Qinyan asked in a strange way.
"I like it!" An Lu replied without hesitation.
The person in front of her is the queen, although she only needs to order all the preparations, and she doesn't need to do it herself.However, she didn't need to do anything.What's more, although Fangju Zhang Hai and Dong Zhu are said to belong to the Queen, they are not Bu Qinyan's confidantes in detail.It was thanks to An Lu that they could appear here.
Bu Qinyan looked at her crooked eyes, and her previously gloomy mood brightened a lot, saying:
"It's a small compensation for you, lest you mentally scold me for messing up your hot pot." Bu Qinyan said.
"How could a servant!" An Lu said with a guilty conscience.
"Xia Shuang, you go back with me to change your clothes first." Bu Qinyan said to Xia Shuang who came over.
"Yes."
An Lu sat in the seat where Xia Shuang signaled her to sit, and then received four gazes.
"Uh, how are you, sisters?" An Lu hesitated. Although the four of them were women, they gave her a very different feeling from court ladies, which made An Lu a little cautious.Especially when there are no acquaintances around.
"Don't be in a hurry to call sister, who of us is older and doesn't know!" said the girl sitting next to An Lu.
They all knew that the people who could sit here were those whom Bu Qinyan liked, and she was the more outgoing of the four of them, so Xia Shuang specially arranged for An Lu to prevent An Lu from getting used to it.
"My name is Yingshan, and this is my elder sister Yingyi, second sister Yingshuang, and little Yingsi."
After hearing their names, An Lu probably knew their identities—the hidden guards beside the queen.But why didn't they attend today's banquet?
An Lu greeted them in turn and introduced himself.Except for Yingshan, Yingshuang was not so silent, and would take the initiative to talk to An Lu.As for Yingyi and Yingsi, they listened quietly, and occasionally answered a few questions when asked by their partners, but An Lu did not dare to initiate a conversation with them.
...
Xia Shuang followed Bu Qinyan to the bedroom, and skillfully helped Bu Qinyan take off her court clothes, revealing her stabbed arm.
"Miss, you are hurt!" Xia Shuang was a little surprised, seeing Bu Qinyan's calm look, she thought nothing was wrong.
Xia Shuang and the four shadow guards waiting in Fengqi Palace also heard about the change in the palace banquet, but Bu Qinyan ordered them not to follow today, so they all waited obediently in Fengqi Palace.When they saw that Bu Qinyan was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not only was she injured, but your young lady has been grounded for half a year." Bu Qinyan sneered.
"How could this be!" Xia Shuang said in a bad tone.
Bu Qinyan briefly talked about today's events, and finally said:
"This time the emperor firmly held two important positions in his hands, and he didn't know whether the assassination was a conspiracy or a play."
"Your Majesty's prejudice against the Bu family is too heavy, it's hard for Miss." Xia Shuang carefully helped Bu Qinyan apply the medicine.
Bu Qinyan didn't respond. Both she and the emperor had expected what happened today, and the grounding was a plan. The only thing left was to make those people feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it so that they could catch them all.However, this time the emperor also had his own selfish intentions, at least the plot to regain power should not be too obvious.And her cloth family was still put together by the emperor.
"If the servant girl followed the lady today, the lady would not be injured." Because the wound was not treated in time, even though it was light, it stained a piece of fabric red, which made Xia Shuang blame An Lu a little bit.
"It's not her fault, I insisted on her going." Bu Qinyan subconsciously defended An Lu.
"It's so rare that the lady actually excused the subordinate." Xia Shuang joked.
"Xia Shuang." Bu Qinyan frowned, not agreeing with Xia Shuang's statement.
"Tsk, Miss still doesn't admit it."
"This palace will teach An Lu martial arts in the past six months. You and Yingyi and the others can communicate with each other. If you have a chance, you can also mention her." Bu Qinyan changed the subject.
"This? Empress, are you being too kind to An Lu?" Xia Shuang couldn't help but said, although Xia Shuang didn't know about Bu Qinyan and the emperor's secret cooperation, she knew that Bu Qinyan wanted to use An Lu to divert her attention of.It's just that learning martial arts doesn't seem to be of any help to her plan.
"This is what she asked for. As the celebrity in front of my palace, I naturally get what I want." Buqinyan said, listening to An Lu's words and looking at her expression, Buqinyan could not refuse thought.
"Miss..." Xia Shuang hesitated to speak.
"Say something straight, don't hesitate, people outside are still waiting." Bu Qinyan said, her tone a little eager.
"Miss, you are responsive to An Lu now, if her appetite grows, it will be bad for Miss."
Bu Qinyan looked at Xia Shuang suspiciously, and said, "Does she look like she wants to climb up?"
Xia Shuang was speechless, which was also the reason why she couldn't feel a sense of crisis towards An Lu, but what she was worried about now was that Miss was too kind to An Lu, and she would feel bad when she gave up on her.
Xia Shuang opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything in the end, she believed that Bu Qinyan knew it well.
"Let's go."
Bu Qinyan was a little puzzled by Xia Shuang's anomaly. Could it be that Xia Shuang had a sense of crisis and felt that An Lu had robbed her of her place in his heart?After all, they are all different.
The two returned to the front hall, and everyone waiting in the hall was looking forward to it.Because Bu Qinyan asked people to go back to the palace first on the way back from the banquet, so she moved the prepared ingredients to Fengqi Palace.When An Lu first came in, he could only smell the vague fragrance.Now that the bottom of the pot is boiling, the fragrance has already filled the entire hall, and she spares no effort to exude her own charm to hook the gluttons in people's stomachs.
It's just that the right lord has not arrived yet, and they are not easy to move their chopsticks.
At this time, Bu Qinyan changed back to her regular clothes, and she did it on purpose, showing a bit of amiability.After she was seated, An Lu and Xia Shuang happened to sit beside her, one on the left and one on the right.It's a pity that An Lu's attention is now on the delicious food in front of her, and she didn't pay attention to the change of the queen at all. Bu Qinyan's change was completely ignored by her.
As Bu Qinyan took the first bite of meat, everyone started to move their chopsticks.However, Buqinyan was a little cautious in everyone's actions.Even An Lu didn't dare to pick up vegetables presumptuously, he just looked at the few dishes in front of him and picked them up vigorously.The movement is also extremely light, so as not to make the sound of dishes clinking, and the meal is also chewed slowly.All in all, it's a great show.
Taking a panoramic view of the restraint of several people, Bu Qinyan took the lead to break the atmosphere. Originally, she just wanted to know the excitement of the hot pot, but now what happened.It's not as lively as during the palace banquet.
"You don't have to be so cautious. Since today has made an exception, you might as well break it to the end."
After hearing this, An Lu glanced at the queen's face. With today's experience, An Lu became more and more daring.Then slowly extended the chopsticks to the dish in front of Bu Qinyan, like a dish thief.Seeing the chopsticks moving little by little, Bu Qinyan couldn't stand it anymore, and went straight for An Lu's target.
As soon as she moved her chopsticks, An Lu immediately retracted her chopsticks in fright. Bu Qinyan gave her a supercilious look, as if mocking her timidity.Then, he put the hot food into An Lu's bowl.
"I'm not a scourge, and you're not a predator, so you don't know what you're afraid of?"
Everyone quickly caught the change that Bu Qinyan claimed to have made. Seeing that the queen had also set an example, they also began to follow suit, slowly enlivening the atmosphere.
"No, it's for you." As if worried that Bu Qinyan would not accept it, An Lu added, "Reciprocity."
"You are borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." Yingshan who was sitting next to him added.
...
"Master, today is a little bit like the old days in the General's Mansion." Yingshan lowered her voice and said to Yingyi.
"Yeah." Yingyi responded indifferently, destroying the food on her own, she has been craving this hot pot for a long time.
"Don't worry about eating!" Yingshan protested.
"You don't care about the master's affairs, just do your duty well." Yingyi said.
"It's boring. Xiao Si just follows you to learn, such a good little sister is not cute anymore!"
"You are too noisy, and I don't know why the master fell in love with you at that time." Yingshuang interjected.
"That's the master's discerning eye. I can inquire about information if I am so eloquent. Who will tell her the information if I am as boring as my elder sister?"
An Lu was so immersed in the delicious food that he didn't even hear the conversation between the shadow guards.On the contrary, Bu Qinyan, who was far away, heard it and frowned.Glancing at the happy An Lu, Bu Qinyan's mischievous heart rose again.
"Don't overeat, you won't be able to sleep."
"No, no." An Lu is much more sensitive to the queen's voice than the shadow guards, and she is the boss.
"You said that you will start practicing martial arts tomorrow. It's not a good thing to be full."
"Uh…"
"Can't you let me finish eating and then tell me this sad thing!"
"Seeing that you eat so deliciously, I can't help it."
An Lu has seen the queen clearly, and it can be said that he is very keen to make fun of himself.
"Then treat it as the last supper, I don't care!"
"Whatever you want, I will ask Yingyi to wake you up tomorrow morning."
"..." She suddenly felt that the food was not delicious, and she was a little apprehensive facing the silent Yingyi.
After the meal, Dongzhu and Fanju were in charge of cleaning up the dishes, while An Lu was kicked out by the crowd and went back to the room first.Nowadays, no one knows that An Lu is a nominal steward, and he doesn't know when he will be able to equal Xia Shuang's status, so naturally he doesn't dare to bother her.
Although there was Bu Qinyan's intervention later, An Lu was still fed up, so he went back to his room naturally.What she didn't know was that the next six months of training would be difficult for her.
The author has something to say:
There are comments, moved!
32. Training ([-], [-])
This night, Fengqi Palace, which was punished by the emperor's decree, greeted the arrival of New Year's Eve in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. It didn't look like it was going to be banned for three months at all.It's just that all of these are locked in Fengqi Palace, but others cannot spy on them.
Huarong Palace…
When the noble concubine of Huarong Palace heard the news that the phoenix seal had fallen into the hands of Concubine De, she was so angry that her teeth itch.She took Bu Qinyan as her imaginary enemy, never thought that one day, the silent Concubine De would become her stumbling block.Unlike the empress, they are both four concubines, and Concubine De also has a prince, and Concubine De's mother's family is even more unmatched by her.This made Concubine Zhang feel a sense of crisis.
"Damn it! I am the head of the four concubines, why did this phoenix seal fall on Concubine De?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's because Your Majesty wasn't present today that the Phoenix Seal fell into someone else's hands. If Your Majesty was present, the situation would be different." Xiaocui said.
"Concubine De!" Concubine Zhang said fiercely, making up her mind that she must work hard to keep Concubine De from turning over during the empress's confinement.
Huajin Palace…
Concubine De looked at the newly obtained phoenix seal, her face couldn't hide her joy.Her father probably didn't expect that the idea of offering up his daughter would fail, so he made a wedding dress for her instead.
Today's palace banquet, her father made her lose all face.If he wasn't in the harem, how could he get the position of prime minister.Now I am just keeping a low profile, waiting for the imperial concubine and the empress to lose both sides, so I can take advantage of it.As a result, the old man couldn't sit still, and complained that he didn't do anything, which made her brothers' official luck not so prosperous.Don't even think about it, Zhang Guifei, who was jumping around every day, her father is just a censor, how can she compare with the prime minister who is the head of civil servants?
Still want to send her concubine sister into the palace to make profit for the royal family?Now that it is impossible to offer a daughter, and I am in charge of Fengyin, my prime minister's father also has to act according to his own face.As long as the imperial concubine jumps a little harder, the head of the four concubines will soon be his own.
Sleeping Dragon Palace...
At this time, the emperor did not have the anger shown in the Qingming Palace at all. He was just frightened and firmly grasped the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and had an excuse to wipe out the nails in the Dragon City Guard in one fell swoop.
"Yuehua." Guo Shaojun called out to the void.
A figure appeared, he was Yuehua, the leader of the emperor's secret guard.
"The origins of the assassins who appeared tonight must be thoroughly investigated, and there must be no omissions. In addition, investigate whether there are any people in the Dragon City Guard who don't know their origins, and..."
"Yes." Yuehua promised
Tonight can be said to be the most comfortable night for Guo Shaojun.
The next day, Yingyi appeared at the door of An Lu's room at [-]:[-], the master ordered him to wake him up yesterday.It's just that I have already knocked for half a quarter of an hour, but the people inside the door are still indifferent.After thinking about the way to enter, Yingyi opened the door.The cold wind outside the house rushed into the room, and An Lu, who was sleeping soundly, tightened the background on his body, trying to prevent the approaching of the uninvited guest.
Yingyi stepped forward in two steps, and shouted twice in a low voice.An Lu turned over and turned his back to Yingyi, stubbornly continuing the great cause of sleeping to the end.
After hesitating for a while, Yingyi stretched out his hand to An Lu's quilt.Feeling that the quilt was being robbed, An Lu hugged it tightly subconsciously, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the black-faced Yingyi holding her quilt in one hand, looking at her expressionlessly.
"Ying, Ying, sister Yingyi." An Lu Haoxuan did not scream, but stammered.
"Yesterday, the master told you to get up at three quarters of the eighth hour, and now it is two quarters later, and the original amount of training has to be doubled."
"No, didn't the empress say she would teach it herself?"
"You are so small, you can't walk a round under the empress's sword, and the empress can't teach you." Yingyi said unceremoniously.
"However, it's too early at three o'clock! I haven't had breakfast yet."
"The master said, if you can't bear the hardship, then don't agree to it."
An Lu was speechless, just get used to it.
"Well, sister Yingyi, can you go out first?"
Yingyi took a look at her messy hair, left a sentence and left:
"Training time is calculated according to the time you officially start, and you will make up for it in a quarter of an hour."
When An Lu heard this, the thought of staying in bed after Yingyi left was also dispelled.She washed and dressed as fast as she could, but in the end she was an hour late, which meant that she needed to practice for an extra hour.
...
"Sister Yingyi, what are we learning?" An Lu said with a smile.
"You take off the clothes on your body first, and put them on." Yingyi gave An Lu a set of peasant men's clothes, but the size was cut.
An Lu took it, and changed into the slightly obstructive clothes on his body. Although the clothes didn't fit perfectly, they were much neater than the maids.
"I'll teach you the zama step first."
"I'm familiar with this!" An Lu said excitedly, so he quickly put on a pose.
Yingyi looked at it, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't know when there was an extra bamboo stick in her hand.There was a slap on An Lu's shoulders, knees, arms and buttocks.
"Shoulders loose, knees not bent enough, arms high, and your butt doesn't need to be that high."
"Arms! Knees!"
A quarter of an hour later, Yingyi was so angry that he lost his temper.Her front foot reminded An Lu to raise her arms, but her knees followed suit; or she was pushed forward by an unknown force, ruining the entire posture.From the beginning, Yingyi only used the bamboo stick to tap lightly, but when he really smoked it, An Lu still didn't change his mind.Let alone an hour, she would be grateful if she could maintain the posture for a quarter of an hour.
"Sister Yingyi, don't embarrass me! Just let it go." An Lu laughed bitterly.
"Oh, if you make a mistake one day, you will make mistakes every time in the future."
"But I really can't hold on!"
"Then you can argue with me, and see if I persist longer or you persist longer." Yingyi sneered, she could see clearly An Lu's shameless appearance.
"Elder Sister, don't be so angry." Yingshuang appeared out of nowhere, holding a few sandbags in her hand, swinging them leisurely.
"You are here to teach." Yingyi said unhappily, and she was no longer silent.
"I think the elder sister is too kind. When we were training, the empress was never so kind." Yingshuang said.
Yingyi shook her head and said: "She is different from us, she cannot use our method."
"That's why the eldest sister is too kind. I'll help you watch here first, and you call Xiao Si over."
"Where is the master?"
"Master agrees."
"Okay." Yingyi disappeared in a flash like a student unloading his schoolbag.
"You are amazing, you forced my eldest sister to be like this."
"Uh." An Lu laughed dryly, she had already returned to her original form at this time, trying to be lazy.
After a while, Ying Priest came over, glanced at the sluggish An Lu, and turned around to ask Ying Shuang:
"Second sister, how long has she been like this?"
"I don't know, but I've been here for a quarter of an hour."
"Well, I see. If you keep these things, the second sister should go back and protect the master."
Yingshuang gave An Lu a sympathetic look, and left gracefully, not taking a single cloud, and even leaving behind a pile of sandbags.
An Lu posed wisely and smiled at Ying Priest, who was more afraid of Ying Priest than Ying Shuang.
"Hoo!" The sound of piercing the air came, and the bamboo stick was unceremoniously pulled on An Lu's arm.
"Now that you know the correct posture, you must maintain it and don't be lazy."
An Lu's arm was so hot that he didn't dare to say anything, and kept his posture obediently.It's a pity that before she persisted for half a quarter of an hour, she had another sign of returning to her original shape.Ying Si picked up a sandbag on the ground, weighed it in his hand, hung her on An Lu's arm, and said:
"Restart the clock. If all the sandbags on the ground are on your arms, today's time will be doubled. Including the quarter of an hour just now."
"Just let me take a break." An Lu begged.
Ying Si didn't answer the words, instead she started to dance sword beside her. Of course, it was not the long sword that she danced so loudly, but the bamboo stick.
Such a blatant threat was quickly received by An Lu. Who knew that Ying Si was careless, and An Lu didn't want to feel it again when the bamboo stick was pulled down.What's more unfortunate is that because she only has a sandbag on one arm, her right arm is a little unbalanced, and she has not eaten since she got up early in the morning, and her legs are shaking a little.
At this moment, she deeply regrets why she let Yingyi leave in anger, and replaced Yingyi with another one.
"Legs." Even though Ying Priest withdrew his strength, An Lu screamed.
However, there is also a sandbag on her other arm, which is considered balanced.
An Lu, a non-violent non-cooperative guy, was subdued by Ying Si's tough methods. Although he couldn't hold on to his body shaking for the next half quarter of an hour, Ying Si also turned a blind eye.And the Shadow Priest danced with bamboo sticks for an hour.
"Go to eat first, come back and continue." Ying Si took off the sandbag from An Lu's hand, said neither salty nor light.
Hearing this sentence, An Lu almost cried bitterly. If she hadn't eaten more yesterday, she would probably have collapsed a long time ago.However, it's not bad now, An Lu's whole body is limp on the ground.
"You have two quarters of an hour."
"Understood." An Lu replied lazily.She usually only gets up at this time, but now she has been "tortured" to the point where she doesn't even want to move.
However, the shadow priest's deterrence is powerful, and An Lu got up from the embrace of the earth "with a broken body and a strong mind" and moved to the dining room.
"Guan An is so listless." Zhang Hai was taken aback when he saw An Lu being drained.
"Don't mention it." An Lu said weakly, "Does Uncle Zhang have anything to eat?"
"Yes, let's eat noodles today."
Although Bu Qinyan was grounded, the ingredients in Fengqi Palace were still supplied as usual.
"Okay!" An Lu's eyes lit up, and after Zhang Hai gave her the noodles, An Lu immediately devoured them.
"Don't be too hasty, Manager An."
"En." An Lu replied vaguely.
"Uncle Zhang, what time is it?"
"It's only been a quarter of an hour."
"Uh, let's go early." An Lu secretly underestimated.
"What did you say, Manager An?"
"No, Uncle Zhang, let's have a hearty meal at noon today."
"okay!"
"I dare not, I'm guilty." Bu Qi also kowtowed.
"I see that your Bu family's wolfish ambition can't be hidden!" Guo Shaojun was furious.
"I dare not!" Bu Wei and Bu Qinyan got up and knelt down together.
After getting angry, facing the ministers kneeling in a row, Guo Shaojun sneered and said:
"Don't dare, what else does your Bu family not dare to do?"
When the queen's figure suddenly fell short, An Lu subconsciously knelt down as well.Hearing the emperor's scolding, An Lu felt an unknown fire in his heart, how could such a good person be so suspicious by you.She didn't forget the scene where the queen fought two against one. She was the queen, so why didn't she have a guard around her?
"Your Majesty, I don't know anything about the dancing girl. Someone must have framed her. Please ask Your Majesty to investigate clearly." Although Bu Qi said something as usual, he knew it was useless.Not to mention that the emperor is now in a fit of anger, even the emperor is usually looking for the small pigtails of the Bu family carefully, and wants to get rid of them quickly.How could he give up today's great opportunity? He can only blame himself for his carelessness, and he just asks not to implicate the entire Bu family.
"Sophistry! Bu Qi, you want to use the power of the Bu family to write off this assassination? You think too much of your Bu family! From my point of view, you, the Minister of the Ministry of War, have done it well!"
"Your Majesty, the Bu family is loyal, and Bu Qi, Minister of the Ministry of War, is also loyal. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Bu Wei pleaded.
"I only saw the ambition of a wolf, and someone came to draw up an order." Guo Shaojun said quickly, obviously not wanting to give Bu Wei a chance to refute.
"The guilty minister, Bu Qi, will immediately be demoted to the staff of Rongcheng, and there will be no delay in moving out of the capital within three days! Let Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War take over as the new minister of the Ministry of War."
"I obey the order." Although Bu Qi was extremely reluctant, but the emperor was angry now, in order to avoid dragging down the family, Bu Qi immediately agreed.
"Criminal Qi Hao, due to improper management, the culprits took advantage of the opportunity to remove the Longcheng Weidu unified post and relegate to the city defense army. As for the new Longchengweidutong, let the deputy capital take over, and so on."
"The minister leads the order."
"Empress!" Guo Shaojun glanced at Bu Qinyan, paused and said, "Several times, there have been many accidents in the palace, I ordered you to be confined for half a year, and Feng Yin will be under the care of Concubine De for the time being."
"The concubine obeys the order."
In this banquet, the Bu family was affected the most: Bu Qi was relegated from a high-ranking official in the capital to a small border official, and Bu Qinyan was even more in danger of being deposed.Although the emperor was frightened, he was not in danger, and instead pulled out one of the thorns in his eyes.This made the ministers below wonder whether this was a play directed and performed by the emperor himself.And the real murderer is also very satisfied with this result, the more dangerous the relationship between the emperor and the Bu family, the greater the chance of their success.The only fly in the ointment is that the two important official positions that were vacated did not fall on their people, but they were firmly controlled by the emperor.
An Lu followed the queen into the car and rushed to Fengqi Palace, feeling lingering fears about today's disaster.Emotions are far away, rationality is back, and the suspicion of human nature makes An Lu have to think about whether the queen's actions to protect her today have ulterior motives.If the queen is not ten times sure of her own life, it is because she has enough value for the queen to still protect herself in such a dangerous situation.
And An Lu is very self-aware of herself, just because of the appearance of the queen threatening her a few days ago, she is inclined to the former.
After getting in the car, Bu Qinyan took a look at An Lu and was relieved to find that her clothes were only cut by the sword blade and she was not injured.She had some expectations for today's threat, but she didn't expect those people to be so bold as to openly assassinate the emperor.
"Are you scared today?" Bu Qinyan said suddenly.
Before the doubt in An Lu's eyes could be put away, he met the queen's gaze, and said truthfully:
"Naturally, I was scared. If it wasn't for the empress to protect me, the slaves would have died."
"Are you wondering why I saved you?" Bu Qinyan took the initiative, the doubt in An Lu's eyes just now did not escape her eyes.
"Yes." An Lu swallowed, and met the queen's eyes.
"I save as much as I want, with so many reasons." Bu Qinyan's reasons were extremely domineering, and deep down in her heart, she was a little inexplicable about her actions today.It was a subconscious move at first, but later when he was about to lose, he wanted to give up on this person. Finally, because of An Lu's action of sending the sword, Bu Qinyan gave up this idea.
"Oh."
"Has the empress ever been injured?" An Lu asked, although she stared at the queen almost the whole time, she was sometimes negligent.If the queen was injured because of her, An Lu would feel very sorry.
"I just remembered to ask now, isn't it too late?" Bu Qinyan said lightly, but she didn't mean to blame her.
The previous stab, because of the obstruction of the clothes, and because Bu Qinyan was not completely innocent, the wound was not deep, and the bleeding may have stopped at this time.Compared with the clothes she wore when practicing martial arts, Bu Qinyan's court clothes today were indeed bulky; however, because the court clothes were relatively thick, the long sword that had been unloaded several times by herself could not pierce through the clothes at all.In addition, although these swords have been sharpened, they are not very sharp, otherwise it will be too easy to show one's feet, and the gain outweighs the loss.
"The atmosphere in the hall was too serious just now, and the servants were thinking wildly after getting in the car, don't blame me." An Lu heard that there was nothing wrong with her tone, so she was relieved.
"Those two people's kung fu is mediocre. If I had a weapon in my hand earlier, I would be able to kill them without the Dragon City Guard."
The carriage fell into silence, and An Lu regretted his hesitation.In the face of life and death, she was still unable to put the queen's life ahead of her own.If it was Xia Shuang, she should not hesitate to protect the Lord with her body instead of the other way around.Moreover, Xia Shuang's martial arts skills can also help the queen.
"Miss."
"Huh?" Xu was too tired from fighting today. In the swaying carriage, Bu Qinyan's voice was a little sleepy, and the nasal hum made An Lu's ears itch.
"Slave wants to learn martial arts." An Lu tentatively said, but if he is not so useless today, he can help a little.
"Such things don't happen every day, so you don't need to be nervous." Bu Qinyan sat up.
"Slaves don't want to be as powerful as the empress, but at least a little bit of self-protection ability is better than being completely a burden today."
"Practicing martial arts is hard work, and I suffered a lot because of this before I entered the palace."
Seeing that the queen didn't immediately dismiss it, An Lu seemed to ask her to think carefully before making a decision. She already had a decision in her heart:
"It's better to endure hardship now than to have nothing to fight back when something happens."
"At that time, don't let Bengong take back his life. It just so happens that Bengong will be too busy during the six-month ban." Bu Qinyan said with a smile.
"Thank you, my servant, I will definitely live up to my expectations."
Bu Qinyan looked at the anticipation in An Lu's eyes, and withdrew her idea of giving her hands to others.Just think of it as a review of how Dad taught at that time.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me now, I have left you a surprise." Bu Qinyan said mysteriously, and then closed her eyes again, as if she didn't want to say anything.
31、Surprise
An Lu thought that he would soon arrive at Fengqi Palace, and since the empress didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more.But when it was quiet, the scenes of the banquet flashed into my mind again, especially when the two assassins came over, the queen stood in front of him without saying a word.Maybe there are other plans behind risking protection, but the first move was out of true feelings.
When the car arrived at Fengqi Palace, An Lu originally wanted to go to the restaurant to see if he still had a chance to eat.Because of today's accident, the banquet ended earlier, maybe she still has a chance.
"An Lu, come back."
Hearing Buqinyan's voice, An Lu's footsteps turned sharply, and returned to Buqinyan's side obediently, and his heart was still scratched by the hot pot in Shanju.It's just that An Lu felt something was wrong the closer he got to Fengqi Palace.A familiar scent wafted from the direction of Fengqi Palace, making the little glutton in An Lu's stomach come out.
"Ma'am." An Lu looked at the queen with bright eyes, she already knew what surprise was.
"I made a mistake. I forgot that your nose is so sensitive to food." Bu Qinyan's tone was full of annoyance and teasing.
"Leave first." Bu Qinyan said to the ladies behind her, only An Lu was left.
"Yes." Although those people could smell the leaked fragrance, they stopped there.
Under Bu Qinyan's signal, An Lu pushed open the gate of Fengqi Palace.
There were two more round tables in the empty hall, one of which was occupied by several palace officials and Dongzhu from the dining room; the other one was seated by Xia Shuang and four people An Lu didn't know, and there were two people sitting on it. It is self-evident who the vacancy belongs to.
In the middle of the two tables there is a pot of soup base that looks delicious. This is because An Lu replaced the original monotonous porridge base with bone soup base, wild mushroom soup base, etc. under certain conditions.In short, the current hot pot bottom is not the only one that thrives on white porridge.Later, Gu Heng drew inferences from one instance and made a soup base made from medicinal materials.An Lu is not sensitive to this, but it is good news for some people who want to eat hot pot but are worried about their health.With the addition of medicinal materials, hot pot has also become a medicinal diet.As for the taste, the beholder sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom.
To say that An Lu's foodie spirit is powerful, normal people have experienced the assassination just now, and they are somewhat uncomfortable with the current surprise.After seeing everything in front of him, An Lu put the previous assassination behind him, leaving only food.Xu had the previous experience of facing Sun Hua's corpse, but this time he only heard some screams, and An Lu was already immune.
And An Lu was moved by the surprise the queen prepared for her. If there was no accident today, she would definitely be hungry as a servant girl.It was beyond An Lu's expectation that the queen would think of her so much.
"Do you like this surprise?" Seeing An Lu's dazed look, Bu Qinyan asked in a strange way.
"I like it!" An Lu replied without hesitation.
The person in front of her is the queen, although she only needs to order all the preparations, and she doesn't need to do it herself.However, she didn't need to do anything.What's more, although Fangju Zhang Hai and Dong Zhu are said to belong to the Queen, they are not Bu Qinyan's confidantes in detail.It was thanks to An Lu that they could appear here.
Bu Qinyan looked at her crooked eyes, and her previously gloomy mood brightened a lot, saying:
"It's a small compensation for you, lest you mentally scold me for messing up your hot pot." Bu Qinyan said.
"How could a servant!" An Lu said with a guilty conscience.
"Xia Shuang, you go back with me to change your clothes first." Bu Qinyan said to Xia Shuang who came over.
"Yes."
An Lu sat in the seat where Xia Shuang signaled her to sit, and then received four gazes.
"Uh, how are you, sisters?" An Lu hesitated. Although the four of them were women, they gave her a very different feeling from court ladies, which made An Lu a little cautious.Especially when there are no acquaintances around.
"Don't be in a hurry to call sister, who of us is older and doesn't know!" said the girl sitting next to An Lu.
They all knew that the people who could sit here were those whom Bu Qinyan liked, and she was the more outgoing of the four of them, so Xia Shuang specially arranged for An Lu to prevent An Lu from getting used to it.
"My name is Yingshan, and this is my elder sister Yingyi, second sister Yingshuang, and little Yingsi."
After hearing their names, An Lu probably knew their identities—the hidden guards beside the queen.But why didn't they attend today's banquet?
An Lu greeted them in turn and introduced himself.Except for Yingshan, Yingshuang was not so silent, and would take the initiative to talk to An Lu.As for Yingyi and Yingsi, they listened quietly, and occasionally answered a few questions when asked by their partners, but An Lu did not dare to initiate a conversation with them.
...
Xia Shuang followed Bu Qinyan to the bedroom, and skillfully helped Bu Qinyan take off her court clothes, revealing her stabbed arm.
"Miss, you are hurt!" Xia Shuang was a little surprised, seeing Bu Qinyan's calm look, she thought nothing was wrong.
Xia Shuang and the four shadow guards waiting in Fengqi Palace also heard about the change in the palace banquet, but Bu Qinyan ordered them not to follow today, so they all waited obediently in Fengqi Palace.When they saw that Bu Qinyan was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not only was she injured, but your young lady has been grounded for half a year." Bu Qinyan sneered.
"How could this be!" Xia Shuang said in a bad tone.
Bu Qinyan briefly talked about today's events, and finally said:
"This time the emperor firmly held two important positions in his hands, and he didn't know whether the assassination was a conspiracy or a play."
"Your Majesty's prejudice against the Bu family is too heavy, it's hard for Miss." Xia Shuang carefully helped Bu Qinyan apply the medicine.
Bu Qinyan didn't respond. Both she and the emperor had expected what happened today, and the grounding was a plan. The only thing left was to make those people feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it so that they could catch them all.However, this time the emperor also had his own selfish intentions, at least the plot to regain power should not be too obvious.And her cloth family was still put together by the emperor.
"If the servant girl followed the lady today, the lady would not be injured." Because the wound was not treated in time, even though it was light, it stained a piece of fabric red, which made Xia Shuang blame An Lu a little bit.
"It's not her fault, I insisted on her going." Bu Qinyan subconsciously defended An Lu.
"It's so rare that the lady actually excused the subordinate." Xia Shuang joked.
"Xia Shuang." Bu Qinyan frowned, not agreeing with Xia Shuang's statement.
"Tsk, Miss still doesn't admit it."
"This palace will teach An Lu martial arts in the past six months. You and Yingyi and the others can communicate with each other. If you have a chance, you can also mention her." Bu Qinyan changed the subject.
"This? Empress, are you being too kind to An Lu?" Xia Shuang couldn't help but said, although Xia Shuang didn't know about Bu Qinyan and the emperor's secret cooperation, she knew that Bu Qinyan wanted to use An Lu to divert her attention of.It's just that learning martial arts doesn't seem to be of any help to her plan.
"This is what she asked for. As the celebrity in front of my palace, I naturally get what I want." Buqinyan said, listening to An Lu's words and looking at her expression, Buqinyan could not refuse thought.
"Miss..." Xia Shuang hesitated to speak.
"Say something straight, don't hesitate, people outside are still waiting." Bu Qinyan said, her tone a little eager.
"Miss, you are responsive to An Lu now, if her appetite grows, it will be bad for Miss."
Bu Qinyan looked at Xia Shuang suspiciously, and said, "Does she look like she wants to climb up?"
Xia Shuang was speechless, which was also the reason why she couldn't feel a sense of crisis towards An Lu, but what she was worried about now was that Miss was too kind to An Lu, and she would feel bad when she gave up on her.
Xia Shuang opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything in the end, she believed that Bu Qinyan knew it well.
"Let's go."
Bu Qinyan was a little puzzled by Xia Shuang's anomaly. Could it be that Xia Shuang had a sense of crisis and felt that An Lu had robbed her of her place in his heart?After all, they are all different.
The two returned to the front hall, and everyone waiting in the hall was looking forward to it.Because Bu Qinyan asked people to go back to the palace first on the way back from the banquet, so she moved the prepared ingredients to Fengqi Palace.When An Lu first came in, he could only smell the vague fragrance.Now that the bottom of the pot is boiling, the fragrance has already filled the entire hall, and she spares no effort to exude her own charm to hook the gluttons in people's stomachs.
It's just that the right lord has not arrived yet, and they are not easy to move their chopsticks.
At this time, Bu Qinyan changed back to her regular clothes, and she did it on purpose, showing a bit of amiability.After she was seated, An Lu and Xia Shuang happened to sit beside her, one on the left and one on the right.It's a pity that An Lu's attention is now on the delicious food in front of her, and she didn't pay attention to the change of the queen at all. Bu Qinyan's change was completely ignored by her.
As Bu Qinyan took the first bite of meat, everyone started to move their chopsticks.However, Buqinyan was a little cautious in everyone's actions.Even An Lu didn't dare to pick up vegetables presumptuously, he just looked at the few dishes in front of him and picked them up vigorously.The movement is also extremely light, so as not to make the sound of dishes clinking, and the meal is also chewed slowly.All in all, it's a great show.
Taking a panoramic view of the restraint of several people, Bu Qinyan took the lead to break the atmosphere. Originally, she just wanted to know the excitement of the hot pot, but now what happened.It's not as lively as during the palace banquet.
"You don't have to be so cautious. Since today has made an exception, you might as well break it to the end."
After hearing this, An Lu glanced at the queen's face. With today's experience, An Lu became more and more daring.Then slowly extended the chopsticks to the dish in front of Bu Qinyan, like a dish thief.Seeing the chopsticks moving little by little, Bu Qinyan couldn't stand it anymore, and went straight for An Lu's target.
As soon as she moved her chopsticks, An Lu immediately retracted her chopsticks in fright. Bu Qinyan gave her a supercilious look, as if mocking her timidity.Then, he put the hot food into An Lu's bowl.
"I'm not a scourge, and you're not a predator, so you don't know what you're afraid of?"
Everyone quickly caught the change that Bu Qinyan claimed to have made. Seeing that the queen had also set an example, they also began to follow suit, slowly enlivening the atmosphere.
"No, it's for you." As if worried that Bu Qinyan would not accept it, An Lu added, "Reciprocity."
"You are borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." Yingshan who was sitting next to him added.
...
"Master, today is a little bit like the old days in the General's Mansion." Yingshan lowered her voice and said to Yingyi.
"Yeah." Yingyi responded indifferently, destroying the food on her own, she has been craving this hot pot for a long time.
"Don't worry about eating!" Yingshan protested.
"You don't care about the master's affairs, just do your duty well." Yingyi said.
"It's boring. Xiao Si just follows you to learn, such a good little sister is not cute anymore!"
"You are too noisy, and I don't know why the master fell in love with you at that time." Yingshuang interjected.
"That's the master's discerning eye. I can inquire about information if I am so eloquent. Who will tell her the information if I am as boring as my elder sister?"
An Lu was so immersed in the delicious food that he didn't even hear the conversation between the shadow guards.On the contrary, Bu Qinyan, who was far away, heard it and frowned.Glancing at the happy An Lu, Bu Qinyan's mischievous heart rose again.
"Don't overeat, you won't be able to sleep."
"No, no." An Lu is much more sensitive to the queen's voice than the shadow guards, and she is the boss.
"You said that you will start practicing martial arts tomorrow. It's not a good thing to be full."
"Uh…"
"Can't you let me finish eating and then tell me this sad thing!"
"Seeing that you eat so deliciously, I can't help it."
An Lu has seen the queen clearly, and it can be said that he is very keen to make fun of himself.
"Then treat it as the last supper, I don't care!"
"Whatever you want, I will ask Yingyi to wake you up tomorrow morning."
"..." She suddenly felt that the food was not delicious, and she was a little apprehensive facing the silent Yingyi.
After the meal, Dongzhu and Fanju were in charge of cleaning up the dishes, while An Lu was kicked out by the crowd and went back to the room first.Nowadays, no one knows that An Lu is a nominal steward, and he doesn't know when he will be able to equal Xia Shuang's status, so naturally he doesn't dare to bother her.
Although there was Bu Qinyan's intervention later, An Lu was still fed up, so he went back to his room naturally.What she didn't know was that the next six months of training would be difficult for her.
The author has something to say:
There are comments, moved!
32. Training ([-], [-])
This night, Fengqi Palace, which was punished by the emperor's decree, greeted the arrival of New Year's Eve in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. It didn't look like it was going to be banned for three months at all.It's just that all of these are locked in Fengqi Palace, but others cannot spy on them.
Huarong Palace…
When the noble concubine of Huarong Palace heard the news that the phoenix seal had fallen into the hands of Concubine De, she was so angry that her teeth itch.She took Bu Qinyan as her imaginary enemy, never thought that one day, the silent Concubine De would become her stumbling block.Unlike the empress, they are both four concubines, and Concubine De also has a prince, and Concubine De's mother's family is even more unmatched by her.This made Concubine Zhang feel a sense of crisis.
"Damn it! I am the head of the four concubines, why did this phoenix seal fall on Concubine De?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's because Your Majesty wasn't present today that the Phoenix Seal fell into someone else's hands. If Your Majesty was present, the situation would be different." Xiaocui said.
"Concubine De!" Concubine Zhang said fiercely, making up her mind that she must work hard to keep Concubine De from turning over during the empress's confinement.
Huajin Palace…
Concubine De looked at the newly obtained phoenix seal, her face couldn't hide her joy.Her father probably didn't expect that the idea of offering up his daughter would fail, so he made a wedding dress for her instead.
Today's palace banquet, her father made her lose all face.If he wasn't in the harem, how could he get the position of prime minister.Now I am just keeping a low profile, waiting for the imperial concubine and the empress to lose both sides, so I can take advantage of it.As a result, the old man couldn't sit still, and complained that he didn't do anything, which made her brothers' official luck not so prosperous.Don't even think about it, Zhang Guifei, who was jumping around every day, her father is just a censor, how can she compare with the prime minister who is the head of civil servants?
Still want to send her concubine sister into the palace to make profit for the royal family?Now that it is impossible to offer a daughter, and I am in charge of Fengyin, my prime minister's father also has to act according to his own face.As long as the imperial concubine jumps a little harder, the head of the four concubines will soon be his own.
Sleeping Dragon Palace...
At this time, the emperor did not have the anger shown in the Qingming Palace at all. He was just frightened and firmly grasped the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and had an excuse to wipe out the nails in the Dragon City Guard in one fell swoop.
"Yuehua." Guo Shaojun called out to the void.
A figure appeared, he was Yuehua, the leader of the emperor's secret guard.
"The origins of the assassins who appeared tonight must be thoroughly investigated, and there must be no omissions. In addition, investigate whether there are any people in the Dragon City Guard who don't know their origins, and..."
"Yes." Yuehua promised
Tonight can be said to be the most comfortable night for Guo Shaojun.
The next day, Yingyi appeared at the door of An Lu's room at [-]:[-], the master ordered him to wake him up yesterday.It's just that I have already knocked for half a quarter of an hour, but the people inside the door are still indifferent.After thinking about the way to enter, Yingyi opened the door.The cold wind outside the house rushed into the room, and An Lu, who was sleeping soundly, tightened the background on his body, trying to prevent the approaching of the uninvited guest.
Yingyi stepped forward in two steps, and shouted twice in a low voice.An Lu turned over and turned his back to Yingyi, stubbornly continuing the great cause of sleeping to the end.
After hesitating for a while, Yingyi stretched out his hand to An Lu's quilt.Feeling that the quilt was being robbed, An Lu hugged it tightly subconsciously, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the black-faced Yingyi holding her quilt in one hand, looking at her expressionlessly.
"Ying, Ying, sister Yingyi." An Lu Haoxuan did not scream, but stammered.
"Yesterday, the master told you to get up at three quarters of the eighth hour, and now it is two quarters later, and the original amount of training has to be doubled."
"No, didn't the empress say she would teach it herself?"
"You are so small, you can't walk a round under the empress's sword, and the empress can't teach you." Yingyi said unceremoniously.
"However, it's too early at three o'clock! I haven't had breakfast yet."
"The master said, if you can't bear the hardship, then don't agree to it."
An Lu was speechless, just get used to it.
"Well, sister Yingyi, can you go out first?"
Yingyi took a look at her messy hair, left a sentence and left:
"Training time is calculated according to the time you officially start, and you will make up for it in a quarter of an hour."
When An Lu heard this, the thought of staying in bed after Yingyi left was also dispelled.She washed and dressed as fast as she could, but in the end she was an hour late, which meant that she needed to practice for an extra hour.
...
"Sister Yingyi, what are we learning?" An Lu said with a smile.
"You take off the clothes on your body first, and put them on." Yingyi gave An Lu a set of peasant men's clothes, but the size was cut.
An Lu took it, and changed into the slightly obstructive clothes on his body. Although the clothes didn't fit perfectly, they were much neater than the maids.
"I'll teach you the zama step first."
"I'm familiar with this!" An Lu said excitedly, so he quickly put on a pose.
Yingyi looked at it, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't know when there was an extra bamboo stick in her hand.There was a slap on An Lu's shoulders, knees, arms and buttocks.
"Shoulders loose, knees not bent enough, arms high, and your butt doesn't need to be that high."
"Arms! Knees!"
A quarter of an hour later, Yingyi was so angry that he lost his temper.Her front foot reminded An Lu to raise her arms, but her knees followed suit; or she was pushed forward by an unknown force, ruining the entire posture.From the beginning, Yingyi only used the bamboo stick to tap lightly, but when he really smoked it, An Lu still didn't change his mind.Let alone an hour, she would be grateful if she could maintain the posture for a quarter of an hour.
"Sister Yingyi, don't embarrass me! Just let it go." An Lu laughed bitterly.
"Oh, if you make a mistake one day, you will make mistakes every time in the future."
"But I really can't hold on!"
"Then you can argue with me, and see if I persist longer or you persist longer." Yingyi sneered, she could see clearly An Lu's shameless appearance.
"Elder Sister, don't be so angry." Yingshuang appeared out of nowhere, holding a few sandbags in her hand, swinging them leisurely.
"You are here to teach." Yingyi said unhappily, and she was no longer silent.
"I think the elder sister is too kind. When we were training, the empress was never so kind." Yingshuang said.
Yingyi shook her head and said: "She is different from us, she cannot use our method."
"That's why the eldest sister is too kind. I'll help you watch here first, and you call Xiao Si over."
"Where is the master?"
"Master agrees."
"Okay." Yingyi disappeared in a flash like a student unloading his schoolbag.
"You are amazing, you forced my eldest sister to be like this."
"Uh." An Lu laughed dryly, she had already returned to her original form at this time, trying to be lazy.
After a while, Ying Priest came over, glanced at the sluggish An Lu, and turned around to ask Ying Shuang:
"Second sister, how long has she been like this?"
"I don't know, but I've been here for a quarter of an hour."
"Well, I see. If you keep these things, the second sister should go back and protect the master."
Yingshuang gave An Lu a sympathetic look, and left gracefully, not taking a single cloud, and even leaving behind a pile of sandbags.
An Lu posed wisely and smiled at Ying Priest, who was more afraid of Ying Priest than Ying Shuang.
"Hoo!" The sound of piercing the air came, and the bamboo stick was unceremoniously pulled on An Lu's arm.
"Now that you know the correct posture, you must maintain it and don't be lazy."
An Lu's arm was so hot that he didn't dare to say anything, and kept his posture obediently.It's a pity that before she persisted for half a quarter of an hour, she had another sign of returning to her original shape.Ying Si picked up a sandbag on the ground, weighed it in his hand, hung her on An Lu's arm, and said:
"Restart the clock. If all the sandbags on the ground are on your arms, today's time will be doubled. Including the quarter of an hour just now."
"Just let me take a break." An Lu begged.
Ying Si didn't answer the words, instead she started to dance sword beside her. Of course, it was not the long sword that she danced so loudly, but the bamboo stick.
Such a blatant threat was quickly received by An Lu. Who knew that Ying Si was careless, and An Lu didn't want to feel it again when the bamboo stick was pulled down.What's more unfortunate is that because she only has a sandbag on one arm, her right arm is a little unbalanced, and she has not eaten since she got up early in the morning, and her legs are shaking a little.
At this moment, she deeply regrets why she let Yingyi leave in anger, and replaced Yingyi with another one.
"Legs." Even though Ying Priest withdrew his strength, An Lu screamed.
However, there is also a sandbag on her other arm, which is considered balanced.
An Lu, a non-violent non-cooperative guy, was subdued by Ying Si's tough methods. Although he couldn't hold on to his body shaking for the next half quarter of an hour, Ying Si also turned a blind eye.And the Shadow Priest danced with bamboo sticks for an hour.
"Go to eat first, come back and continue." Ying Si took off the sandbag from An Lu's hand, said neither salty nor light.
Hearing this sentence, An Lu almost cried bitterly. If she hadn't eaten more yesterday, she would probably have collapsed a long time ago.However, it's not bad now, An Lu's whole body is limp on the ground.
"You have two quarters of an hour."
"Understood." An Lu replied lazily.She usually only gets up at this time, but now she has been "tortured" to the point where she doesn't even want to move.
However, the shadow priest's deterrence is powerful, and An Lu got up from the embrace of the earth "with a broken body and a strong mind" and moved to the dining room.
"Guan An is so listless." Zhang Hai was taken aback when he saw An Lu being drained.
"Don't mention it." An Lu said weakly, "Does Uncle Zhang have anything to eat?"
"Yes, let's eat noodles today."
Although Bu Qinyan was grounded, the ingredients in Fengqi Palace were still supplied as usual.
"Okay!" An Lu's eyes lit up, and after Zhang Hai gave her the noodles, An Lu immediately devoured them.
"Don't be too hasty, Manager An."
"En." An Lu replied vaguely.
"Uncle Zhang, what time is it?"
"It's only been a quarter of an hour."
"Uh, let's go early." An Lu secretly underestimated.
"What did you say, Manager An?"
"No, Uncle Zhang, let's have a hearty meal at noon today."
"okay!"
