Although the group of "Jing Hengbo" were dressed in dingy and dark clothes, and their bodies were all different, their faces were all "glamorous, the queen of black water!"
What is the scariest thing in this world?
It is another self facing itself.
What is more terrible than this?
It is a group of themselves facing themselves.
Jing Hengbo rolled his eyes and almost had a cramp, only then did he understand what the old lady meant when she said, "I'm tired of looking at this face".
King Yi is a slave, but in order to continue the blood of the royal family, he naturally wants to have more concubines, but if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it. Presumably there are not many concubines who are favored. In order to please the king and relieve the loneliness in the palace, they spontaneously set up COS activities, and the top three winners will be selected every month.
The theme of this issue is the Queen of Blackwater.
Jing Hengbo expressed his sincere honor.
The queen dowager on the seat accepted the visit from the concubines, glanced at their decorations, and said unhappily: "Recently, you have become more and more fond of dressing up, and each of you is dressed in such a gorgeous way. You must know that a woman's chastity and simplicity are virtues, and her thoughts should be on her husband. It’s the body. Why bother to put so much effort into these matters of dressing up.”
Seeing that she was about to teach a lesson, a concubine hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not be extravagant and wasteful, and lose the original intention of being a woman. It's just that she has been pretending to be the Queen of Black Water recently. She has always been dressed luxuriously and exquisitely. We wait Learn a little bit, that is, I want to be more like it, and I want to have fun with the king, and this is also to please my husband, so that he can return to the harem, so that he can be happy." He said to show the queen mother his own hairpin, "Look at this The hairpin is not a real pearl, but a fish eye brushed with pearl powder, which is just as radiant."
The rest of the people echoed repeatedly, and the Queen Mother's face turned pale.
Jing Hengbo's inner roar had already resounded through the sky.
Ahhh what does it mean to imitate the queen of black water so the clothes are luxurious?
Your gray mouse-like clothing is also worthy of being called luxurious?
Sister never wears this kind of gray, gray, yellow, or yellow, old and lifeless color, okay?
My sister never wears her clothes with ragged edges, okay?
Sister never wears fake fur, okay?
My sister never uses fake pearls, okay?
Fuck me, this kind of shabby dress is also called "beautiful". Then she, the right master, isn't she beautiful all over the universe?
She curled up on the chair, trying to soothe her hurt heart with great difficulty. After she calmed down, she noticed that except for this stingy old woman, everyone else was well-maintained. She is still a little small, and she wears a mask on her face, but the back of her hands and neck, and all the exposed places, don't have any spots or fine lines.
Looking at the details, it can be seen that these concubines live exquisite lives, but they just dress up deliberately in front of this stern and petty queen mother.
She was looking at the concubines, but the concubines didn't pay attention to her. There were too many identical faces and too many people, so it was a bit confusing. Jing Hengbo found that they tried their best to have different clothes, and in addition, they wore different bracelets.
The concubines came forward to greet the Queen Mother one by one, and most of the Queen Mother taught them a few commonplaces. Until a woman stepped forward, the Queen Mother suddenly sharpened her eyes.
Jing Hengbo immediately noticed the woman, she was dressed more plainly than others, and the fur coat was all shedding. Please An was also extremely careful in her actions, the Queen Mother accepted her as soon as she showed a serious face, but treated her more politely than ordinary people, and even gave her a seat in front of her, everyone was surprised, but the concubine became more and more trembling, she couldn't refuse after several times , had to sit with half of their buttocks next to each other, and the queen mother ordered tea again, and the surprise in everyone's eyes became stronger.
Jing Hengbo watched with great interest. She likes Gongdou opera and has watched it on TV a lot, but this is the first time she has seen it since time travel. She can't help feeling that it is beautiful, nervous and interesting. Hey, do you want to have some palace fights in your own palace in the future? Fighting with Gong Yin? Who should I find to fight Gong Yin? How about a bunch of fresh meat?
The maid brought up the tray, and everyone's eyes lit up, with deep meaning in their eyes. Jing Hengbo also felt that something was wrong, and then realized that the tray was a whole piece of jade, and the tea cup was also a whole piece of jade. Such a luxurious thing seemed out of place in this utterly plain room.
But judging from her eyes of seeing good things in the past two years, the quality of this jade is not very good, and it is worthless if it is broken.
The concubine's face was even more tense, and she hurriedly reached out to take the tea, her hands were tightly squeezed, and the back of her hand was stretched with blue veins.
The court lady suddenly tilted her hand, the tray fell over, Jing Hengbo curled her lips - the next moment was to break the teacup, right? Old-fashioned tricks!
The concubine held the tray with her hands, and all the boiling hot tea was spilled on her hands, her hands were hot red immediately, she gritted her teeth and did not dare to let go.
A similar thing happened once. The last time Concubine Rong "accidentally" broke the Queen Mother's "precious" ruby birthday peach, and was sent to the cold palace to do hard labor, but she jumped into the well within a month.
Seeing that she didn't let go, the palace lady was slightly taken aback, and the queen dowager above snorted slightly. The palace lady listened, her face became tense, her heart became ruthless, and she flicked the teacup to the ground.
At this time, the concubine was holding on to the tray tightly, her hands were scalded and she was still enduring the pain, it was too late to save the teacup, seeing that the jade teacup was about to fall to pieces, she couldn't help showing despair and anger in her eyes.
Jing Hengbo suddenly flicked his finger.
The teacup was tilted to the left, but suddenly tilted to the right and returned to the tray.
The maid's eyes widened in shock, the Queen Mother froze, and all the concubines gasped.
The concubine narrowly escaped death, raised her head in horror and cold sweat, looked around with blank eyes, wondering what happened and who saved her.
Jing Hengbo tapped his chin across the crowd to signal her.
The concubine glanced at her and then looked away. At this time, the queen mother also recovered from the shock, her face was very ugly, and she said directly: "Kneel down!" Then she said to the maid: "Concubine Li's hand is burned, stay Come down and apply some medicine." Without waiting for her to agree, she entered the small Buddhist hall on her own.
The concubines looked at Concubine Li sympathetically as if they were being pardoned, and quickly slipped away. Concubine Li had just escaped from a catastrophe and was in a crisis again, her expression was ashen. Seeing the maid entering the inner room to look for medicine, she suddenly walked towards Jing Hengbo.
It was her that Jing Hengbo was waiting for, and he hurriedly smiled and nodded at her.
Then Li Pin glanced at her and whispered: "Just now...you?"
Jing Hengbo nodded.
"Can you...can you still help me?" Concubine Li looked inside, "The Queen Mother looks like she doesn't intend to let me go..."
Jing Hengbo pointed at his throat, indicating that he could not speak, then Concubine Li was also smart, and pushed over a cup of tea.
Jing Hengbo dipped in tea and wrote: "I can help you, but you have to give me something in return. Find me the antidote."
"The one you hit is Qianji Lockpoison. One of the secret medicines in the palace." Li Cong said, "Your Majesty has the antidote, and I can find a way to get it for you."
"Where's your king?" Jing Hengbo asked.
"I heard that there is something urgent to leave the palace."
"You bring me the antidote, and I will help you solve the Queen Mother." Jing Hengbo wrote, "help you solve the problem once and for all."
"Who are you?" Li Bin looked at her suspiciously.
"The Queen Mother's enemy, she wants to imprison me here and torture me slowly. Don't worry, even if I die, she must be buried with her."
An excited look appeared in Li Bin's eyes.
She didn't dare to kill the old woman who made her restless day and night. The old woman was too guarded against her. It would be great if someone could help her.
"It's a deal." She quickly wiped off the tea marks and returned to her original position. The next moment, the palace maid came out, holding the medicine, but the medicine powder was suddenly sprinkled on her own hand, and seeing a piece of flesh fell off, she screamed and hurried to find water to wash her hands. Concubine Li hurried away as if she had narrowly escaped death, and took a firm look at Jing Hengbo before leaving.
Jing Hengbo chuckled.
…
A flash of cold electricity grazed Yelv Xunru's chest and shot directly at Master Ziwei's heart.
Yelutan's sneer was like ice skates.
"Whoever touches you, I will kill him!"
Yelv Xunru let go of his hand suddenly, and threw himself forward.
She met the skates with her chest.
"Crack." An ice knife pierced her chest, half of the blood was shot forward, splashing Yelutan's face, and half of it was backward, splashing Master Ziwei's neck.
The two men were stunned for a moment.
Yelutan shrank his eyes suddenly, his eyes were unbelievable, he didn't expect Yelv Xunru to move so fast.
Master Ziwei still kept pushing aside with one hand, staring at the knife protruding from Yelu Xunru's back, with a silly expression on his face, although it was dangerous just now, but he had time to hide and get rid of Yelu Xunru in time, at most he would suffer a little Hurt, he just suddenly thought of playing a prank, wanted her to feel guilty, wanted her to hurry up, wanted her to learn a lesson, and don't lie to you and him to defend her old lover next time.
Who would have thought that this usually cunning girl would suddenly become foolish, and just pounce on herself.
It wasn't until Yelu Xunru let out a cold snort that they woke them up. The two of them were dumbfounded again, and saw Yelu Xunru stretch his hand behind his back, and he pulled out the knife viciously.
The **** knife first slapped Yelutan's face hard.
"My trust and help are not for you to trample on!" She said coldly, "Yelutan! If you continue to behave like this brainwashed, you will never see me, get out!"
Yelutan really fell, because Master Ziwei suddenly flicked his sleeve and slapped him down, sat on the horse and hugged Yelv Xunru.
Yelv Xunru was also rude to him, and hotly shook that pretty face with a **** hand.
"You can play at any time!" She said, "You should have some fun!"
Master Ziwei's face was ashen from scolding.
"I don't die..." Yelu Xunru finished cursing, but lay down in his arms, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm probably dying. This is the last time I scold you. And you, don't take me back, just Said that Yelutan and I eloped..."
"Elopement is also elopement with the old man!" Master Ziwei yelled, and hastily sealed her acupoints. Looking up, although this place is a remote palace road, many people have been alarmed by this commotion. Some soldiers came here come everywhere.
He picked up Yelu Xunru, abandoned his horse and flew over the eaves, ready to approach the palace, first to see Yelu Xunru's injury.
Yelu Xunru's blood spattered all over the ground, and in Master Ziwei's arms, she murmured, "Hey, old man, I suddenly feel that you are a little bit in love with me... Oh, don't you ...I don't have that plan...I will die early, if you fall in love with me again...then it's over...I seem to have a wrong strategy...It's too late for me to be cold to you now..."
Master Ziwei was rarely so rude.
The two figures went away.
From beginning to end, they ignored Yelutan.
Yelutan lay on the ground, the knife was still stuck to his face, the blade was cold, but the blood was hot, the feeling of the cold and heat clashing was also like his mood at this time, one layer of ice and snow, one layer of fire, one layer of **** and one layer of heaven.
He followed the bloodstain with his eyes, seeing that the blood color was like a red lotus, spreading all the way to the end of his sight.
He never looked up.
The blood dries and cools, congealing like ice.
He licked the blood slowly.
At the bottom of his eyes, a tear slowly slid down his cheek and fell into a pool of blood.
Clotting, not melting.
…
The Queen Mother of Ningde Palace has ordered people to inquire three times, when will the king bring back the people he sent. She is going to have dinner here, and she doesn't want to add Jing Hengbo's bowl.
The queen mother believes in Buddhism, so she can't do things like starving people. But the food here is rationed every day by the Queen Mother, and if there are too many people, one person will not eat. This is what no one wants.
Everyone in Ningde Palace has become accustomed to the empress dowager's stinginess, this is not innate, it is completely pathological. Some old people know why. At the beginning, the Queen Mother had protected the king and spent a period of time in the cold palace where the concubines were ostracized. The supply of the cold palace was very harsh, and the mother and son had a very hard life. Habit. Later, Xianyu turned around and lived a good life. The son, who hated the grayness and plainness, the commoner clothes and vegetarian food, and all kinds of things, was extravagant, as if he wanted to make up for the pain he had suffered in the past; At the other extreme, she seems to be still immersed in the tense and depressive life at the beginning, living her life carefully without any indulgence. The tradition of hardship and simplicity has not only not been abandoned, but also seems to be constantly carried forward.
It's no wonder, in fact, she is a childless concubine, and she just adopted King Yi for a period of time. King Yi was born without a mother, and was called the one who hardened his parents. upbringing. This made her a blessing in disguise. The rest of the concubines who had children were implicated by their sons and were either killed or moved away. Only she had the last laugh and became the Queen Mother.
But if it's not your own life, it's not your own life. Deep down in your heart, there must be a sense of uneasiness. Especially when she saw that many princes were wiped out, the sense of crisis of "the royal family is ruthless, today's prosperity, and tomorrow's bones" made the suffering queen mother unable to let go, so she developed such a vigilant and restrained temperament, which was very difficult. For the sake of the concubines in the palace, I spent all my time trying to show off my beauty, and when I arrived at the Queen Mother's place, I hurried to cosplay in plain clothes.
The palace people reported that the king was out of the palace in a hurry and could not be contacted. The queen mother sighed and waved her hands distressedly. The palace man pouted, squeezed some out of his set meal to give to Jing Hengbo, and secretly scolded the Queen Mother for being stingy and trying to be a good person, but she refused to spare her share.
Because King Yi only handed over Jing Hengbo to temporarily detain him, but didn't mention Jing Hengbo's identity, and the Queen Mother and others couldn't decide their attitude towards Jing Hengbo. The palace people brought food over, but there was also a bowl of thin porridge and side dishes. different.
Jing Hengbo picked up the porridge, and at a glance saw a small folded paper bag on the tray under the bowl.
The light was extremely dim, and the long-term dim light also hurt the eyes of these maids, so that the maid could not see the paper package of the same color as the tray even though she was carrying the tray.
Jing Hengbo copied the paper with his fingers, wrapped the paper in his palm, twisted his fingers lightly, and it was a pill. Taking advantage of the opportunity of serving the bowl, he sniffed the scent, and it was quite upright, so he was relieved, knowing that Concubine Li really kept his word, and sent the antidote.
She held the bowl and downed the porridge and antidote in one gulp, and heard the maid clearly swallowing her saliva loudly.
Jing Hengbo didn't eat any side dishes, and the maid didn't ask, for fear that the dishes would be gone after asking, so she happily left with the bowl. Jing Hengbo saw that she hadn't crossed the threshold, so she ate with her hands.
What a pity.
Jing Hengbo touched his stomach and sighed.
My sister is also very pitiful, and her stomach is also rumbling.
After such a touch, her hand suddenly paused, and then she touched and touched in disbelief, and then lifted her skirt to take a peek.
The skin on the belly is also wrinkled!
Her original smooth and tight belly!
This **** drug!
Jing Hengbo was secretly lucky, waiting for the medicine to take effect in the body, after a while, she suddenly jumped up, rummaging through drawers and cabinets in this room, rummaging up and down.
She needs to find a mirror to see clearly! She wants to find the medicine to restore her skin! If she can't return to the original state, she won't be finished if she doesn't kill King Yi!
Suddenly there was a voice behind him, whispering, "What are you doing?"
When Jing Hengbo turned his head, he saw the court lady delivering food just now. Seeing her extraordinarily tight skin, Jing Hengbo was about to jump over and strangle her neck, asking her to hand over the secret recipe for skin recovery. Then I heard the maid say coldly: "Don't look for it, in our Ningde Palace, even if you dig three feet, you won't be able to dig out anything valuable."
Seeing her disgusted expression, Jing Hengbo felt moved, let go and sat down. The maid suddenly frowned and said, "Why are you able to move suddenly?" She took a step back vigilantly, and wanted to notify others.
Jing Hengbo suddenly asked, "Do you want to get rich?"
The maid closed her opened mouth and turned to look at her suspiciously.
"Do you want to improve your current life? Do you want to eat good food, eat chicken, duck and fish, instead of eating vegetables every day and make your face full of color? Do you want to wear good clothes? Instead of a jacket that smoked cotton in summer and wadding in winter Do you wear cotton for three autumns and winters? Do you want to wear gold and silver, do you want to be covered in silk, do you want to live a truly quality and good life?" Jing Hengbo's eyes shone seductively, and his voice was low, like a witch .
The maid snorted coldly, "What? You are so poor, and you still want to buy me with money? What about money?" She sneered, "What do you know? Do you think there is really no money in this palace? Do you think the king will be stingy with the queen mother of Ningde Palace? Let me tell you, there is everything in the palace, but the queen mother doesn’t like to use it, understand? If she doesn’t like it, we can’t do it. What if we have chicken, duck, fish, silk and satin? ? Which concubine in the palace doesn’t have one? Do they dare to use it in front of the Queen Mother? They don’t dare, can we?”
Jing Hengbo was not angry, but smiled and said: "Oh, so, then, does your Queen Mother love money very much?"
"Why are you asking this?" The maid looked at her warily. The expression has already admitted.
Jing Hengbo smiled, "Now your Queen Mother is reluctant to part with anything. It's because she thinks that everything you eat and use is hers. But if she has other income and extra money, she will have a kind of money that will fall from the sky. It feels like, when the time comes, you will be more or less blessed, understand?"
This is the general psychology. People always spend more generously on "windfall".
"Where did the unexpected money come from?" The palace maid sneered, "Are you saying that the Queen Mother is authoritative and robbing? How ugly is it to say it? The Queen Mother is an old man who is charitable and believes in Buddhism, so she is absolutely unwilling to do things like stealing."
"Whoever wants to steal by chance, someone has to be happy to send it up." Jing Hengbo sneered, "Come on, let me teach you a way, you can definitely please the Queen Mother, and maybe you can live a better life in the future What about the day?"
"Who are you? You are just a criminal, why should I listen to you?" The maid stared at her with burning eyes, but did not move.
"Me? I'm from Dige." Jing Hengbo said, "Recently, I spread a new game from our side to your country of Yi, which attracted many people to indulge in it and play it day and night. Your king also I don’t know who listened to the instigation of a sour Confucian, and became furious, saying that playing with things is depressing, that I spread unhealthy entertainment, and that it will affect the diligence and diligence of Yi’s subjects. You caught me, and you want to punish me." She spread her hands, "It's actually a small game, and the key lies in everyone's control. I've been playing in Dige for a long time, and I haven't seen the diligence of the officials in Dige. How many times have you played? And this kind of game is the most suitable for people to pass the time to play, and you can make money if you play well."
Sure enough, the last sentence moved the maid, she immediately asked: "What game?"
"Mahjong." Jing Hengbo said, "It's very fun. If you don't believe me, I'll teach you how to play. It's a thank you for giving me dinner."
"Don't play any tricks." The maid warned her.
"What kind of tricks can you play?" Jing Hengbo smiled, "I just teach you a way to play, and you prepare everything by yourself. It's very simple and convenient, and you will know it after playing."
As he spoke, he chatted with the court lady about how to play mahjong. There is a card game in Dahuang, but it is not popular, and the gameplay is not very interesting. I told the court lady about the rules of mahjong, and she understood it as soon as she heard it, but she didn’t feel the meaning , but feel that the long night is boring, you might as well try it. So he went to find someone, made a set of mahjong sets out of bamboo and wood, and brought two more people. They pretended to guard Jing Hengbo all night, but actually set up a siege to play mahjong.
This game was played until dawn, and everyone was still in good spirits. When a court lady raised her head, she saw a white line of fish belly above the window paper, and said in surprise: "Huh, why is it dawn?"
"This thing, refresh yourself!" An **** pushed the card enthusiastically, "It's a deal!" The other three sighed, and took out the note in dismay. On the note was written something like "Help on night duty once, and night duty twice".
If you don’t have money, you will be rewarded with hard work. Jing Hengbo knows the true meaning of playing mahjong, that is, you must play for money, and if you have no money, you have to pay.
Scraps of paper were flying on the wooden table, Jing Hengbo was typing, and he was a little dazed—this was a repertoire that the four-person team of the research institute never tired of playing. They had to play every week, and all night during the New Year. .
Are those three people still playing mahjong in this strange land?
Does anyone still remember those little notes that can never be honored today?
Although she was a poor old man, and although she was a queen, she didn't have time to play mahjong all day, and it was rare to play mahjong once. It was still for survival and destruction. But Jing Hengbo still sincerely hopes that the three of them are playing mahjong in their free time and money. She very much hopes to see Tai Shilan dressed like a landlady, with a brass cigarette stick in his mouth, and one foot on the chair next door. Shuffling the cards in the manner of Tai Chi embracing the sun and the moon, he said coldly: "It's made!"
When will I see this scene... Jing Hengbo sighed.
Jing Hengbo couldn't help with the night watch, so the money was written on the note, and the rest of the people didn't expect her to honor it, it was just a psychological comfort.
It was almost dawn, and everyone had work to do, so they reluctantly left. The court lady who started playing mahjong was called Jinxi. After being friends with Jing Hengbo for one night, her attitude towards her was much better, and she whispered to her: "You said this, can you make a lot of money?"
"What do you think? If you increase the stakes and don't cap it, won't you make a lot of money?" Jing Hengbo teased her, "Hey, sister Jinxi, you must be eighteen, right? Your skin is really good! "
"I'm twenty-four! I'm an old lady!" Jinxi touched her face in joy and melancholy.
"Ah, how do you take care of it!" Jing Hengbo pounced on her face, "Ah, I'm four years younger than you, look at my skin!"
Jin Xi glanced at her, proudly and somewhat sympathetically, "Did you hit the face-changing powder by mistake? And it seems that you got two kinds of face-changing powder with opposite effects. The skin suddenly swells and shrinks in a short period of time. , leaving fine lines and wrinkles..."
"Sister!" Jing Hengbo grabbed her hand and burst into tears, "You are also a woman, you should know that appearance is important to us, my skin, do you think it can be saved! If you have a good prescription in your hand, I will spend it Buy with you! Make a price!"
"With my status, how can I deserve any good things? The real royal secret recipe is in the hands of the king." Jinxi withdrew his hand regretfully and helplessly, and whispered in her ear, "Sometimes the king is in a good mood, he will Give some secret recipes as rewards to favored concubines. Jade Concubine Li Concubine and others have them in their hands. But these are all their treasures, and they are also capital to show off, and they will not be given out easily..."
Jinxi laughed and walked away thoughtfully. Jing Hengbo heard her muttering: "If you play too much, the Golden Buddha that the Queen Mother misses may be lost..."
Jing Hengbo grinned as he gnawed on the sesame seed cakes that the palace man gave her.
She had inquired about it last night, King Yi had already left the palace. She didn't quite understand why King Yi took her captive, but ran out by herself, but this undoubtedly gave her a chance. Now she hoped that King Yi would come back as late as possible, and wait for her to take the old woman and concubines away. The maintenance pills are all cheated, and it is best to come back.
However, this possibility seems unlikely, let's take a step at a time, Jing Hengbo hastened to recover his strength, in the current state, it is not a big problem to want to leave.
In the afternoon, the court lady named Jinxi came to pass her on, and winked at her before leaving. Jing Hengbo was overjoyed, knowing that the old woman was really interested.
A group of people escorted her to the warm pavilion of the old woman's bedroom. It was still a dark room. A group of people were crowded together. The light was so dim that the faces could not be distinguished. From afar, I heard the concubine's charming smile, "The empress dowager's way of playing is really good." Fresh."
As soon as she came in, everyone's eyes were cast on her. The Queen Mother sat on top and said: "Jinxi talked to the Ai family about your matter. The game method you mentioned is quite interesting to the Ai family. The concubines in the palace are usually empty and lonely, you play with them, teach them, play well, Aijia and the king, see if you can reduce your crime."
Jing Hengbo hurriedly said: "De Ling." Going to sit down, there is Concubine Li opposite, and there are two concubines on each side, as they are called, one is Concubine Yu, dressed in jade-colored clothes, and the other is Concubine Lin, holding a silk fan . Jing Hengbo secretly rejoiced that their clothes and jewelry were different, otherwise she could only number them in her heart: Jing No. 1, Jing No. 2...
The rest of the people gathered around and looked at them with burning eyes. Jing Hengbo briefly explained the rules, and said: "My ladies, you have to win some money when you play this game. This is the rule. I am a sinner, and I dare not take the treasures of my ladies, but I also Girls, please give me some thought."
All the concubines said: "That's natural." They all told their favorites, Jing Hengbo listened, no one came up with a secret recipe, they were all precious jewelry, and they were quite disappointed, but they couldn't think about it.
I was thinking about whether to continue to incite these people to take out more important prizes, or to beat them up first and then persecute them? Suddenly heard the **** report: "The king has arrived—"
