Chapter 14 Trustworthy
It's not that Chen Xiaoxiao can't feel Zhou Shuhe's weird demeanor and hesitating to speak, but anyway, this room is full of acquaintances, she is too lazy to think about things, finished drinking the tea in the cup, pushed it in front of Qi Yu, blinked her eyes, He said he wanted to drink too.
Qi Yu was as good as he was good: "Miss Xiao also invites you."
Zhou Shuhe kicked Chen Xiaoxiao lightly under the table: "You are being rude."
"I don't know what kind of polite you are talking about?" Chen Xiaoxiao glared at her, and pulled her legs away from her.
"I'm in your room today, and you called Mr. Qi here again, just to let everyone recognize the person and explain how many of us are in the same group? Why are you acting like an old lover?" Dafang, if you have something to say, you can talk and leave if you have nothing to say, you can't pass the time by being in a daze."
"..."
The speaker didn't care about the listener, Zhou Shuhe's heart skipped a beat, he gritted his teeth and sent her to find Jiyue to get pastries to eat, and blocked her mouth full of nonsense.
After seeing off Chen Xiaoxiao, her whole body was refreshed. She was no longer embarrassed, no longer hesitated, and no longer shy when facing Qi Yu.
Anyway, the most embarrassing thing has already been said by Chen Xiaoxiao. How old is Qi Yu over there, and she sits opposite to drink tea with a calm expression. She has lived two lifetimes, is it possible that she is not as thick-skinned as a young man?
"How are you doing these days?" She took a sip of tea.
Qi Yuying said: "Thanks to my lady. Yesterday on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, the former courts successively sealed the seals, and this morning His Majesty also sealed the pen. I was free, so I asked for an errand to come to my lady."
Zhou Shuhe's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "Aren't you busy these days?"
"It's almost free until the day after tomorrow. After that, I will prepare the dinner for the courtiers on the first day of the new year, but those affairs are not complicated."
Qi Yu sorted out the errands that she had to do in the near future in her mind, guessed that she needed help, and said, "If my lady needs someone, just send her."
Zhou Shuhe checked the doors and windows, and after making sure there was no one there, he signaled him to approach, lowering his voice, "I want you to find out about Xiangbi and Liu Jieyu for me."
Qi Yu glanced at her and nodded slowly.
There is a saying that if you are fighting against the outside world, you must first settle down inside, and that's all for the side, but in the same palace, Zhou Shuhe must find out the two high-ranking concubines in Yihe Palace.
However, it is precisely because they are in the same palace that it is difficult for Zhou Shuhe to trust the eunuchs and maids in Lanfang Pavilion. After all, most of these people were already Yihe palace concubines before she was a concubine of Yihe palace. Palace of the Palace.
In other words, maybe they themselves belonged to Liu Jieyu, and it would be ridiculous for Liu Jieyu's people to check on Liu Jieyu.
She originally wanted to start with Chen Xiaoxiao and ask Chen Qingming who was also in Yihe Palace, but Chen Qingming was also a concubine of Yihe Palace after all, so her people, and even herself, might not be trustworthy.
No one can be trusted.Zhou Shuhe thought.Even a decent and good person may change into a different appearance after the disaster and pain, not to mention people's hearts are so far apart, how can she know what other people are thinking about?
Only Qi Yu is different.
If one day he betrayed her, it would be just Zhou Shuhe's retribution for her kindness and ruthlessness.
After leaving Lanfang Pavilion, Qi Yu didn't go back to the prison courtyard. He went to the Imperial Palace first. Seeing that the emperor was taking a nap, he casually asked the attendants on duty to answer the work that the emperor wanted to reward the favored concubines. Diandu walked for a while, and finally went to Yanxi Palace where Concubine Rou was.
Before finding out that Zhou Shuhe had entered the palace as a concubine on the day of the registration, Qi Yu paid little attention to the harem. Apart from looking for his family, he spent all his energy on the imperial front and outside the palace.
Just like a plant needs to adapt to the sun in the sky and the soil under its feet, he has to understand Emperor Taiping's temperament and preferences as a human being, his sensitivity and arrogance as an emperor, and the eunuchs headed by his master Wan Ping and his godfather Wan Min. code of conduct.
He imitated, followed, learned and used, and soon learned to be a dog and a servile servant, but the ten years of disappointment seemed to be poisoned, tormenting him every day.
Qi Yu didn't allow himself to immerse himself in it, but it didn't mean that he really accepted his fate, he just learned everything quickly and well, which made him realize very quickly - after being stabbed, even if he never You can't follow the avenues in the sages' books, but you have the capital to go astray.
Only in this way can we leave our own traces in this world, and even change the world and become the new shadow behind this magnificent Da Ning Dynasty.
****
Xiangbi and Liu Jieyu are inseparable two sides of one body, but to find out these two people, it is a matter inseparable from another person.
The soft concubine of Yanxi Palace, Princess Linalha of the Western Regions.
Qi Yu didn't pay attention to the concubines in the harem before. After checking the Bai family, he only thought about how to keep Zhou Shuhe from being troubled by this matter. Only then did I feel the difference.
The emperor was once murdered by the Bai family with aromatherapy. As the saying goes, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of well ropes, and even the concubines who helped him heal were kept at a respectful distance. She is a famous concubine, and even the title given to her is the word "Xiang".
The emperor didn't like others to know his likes and dislikes. Looking at the entire harem, there should not be many people who have heard of Bai's secrets, so there are also many concubines in the palace. Beloved, only Xiangbi is an exception.
And in the vast majority of cases, there must be doubts in the exception.
Of all the people in the palace, only the concubine Rou knows the fragrance best. Although the emperor doesn't understand, he knows that the concubine Rou understands.Then even if he was wrong, the strange fragrance on Concubine Xiang was not intentionally made by Concubine Rou, the emperor would definitely ask her about it, that is to say, no matter what the origin of it was, Concubine Rou would know about it .
The concubine Linarha believed in the holy religion of the Western Regions. After she was promoted to the concubine, the emperor allowed her to build a temple in the east wing of the main hall of Yanxi Palace to worship her heavenly father.
Qi Yu saluted outside the hall, and it took a long time before a maid came out of the house and asked him to get up and enter the hall.
"Greetings, my concubine Rou."
The woman in the hall did not speak, and kept kneeling with her back to him. In front of her was a glaring stone statue. The jagged rock was only carved but not polished.
The sacred religion of the Western Regions believes that in order to repel the devil, the gods will grow a very ugly face, so the more unpolished the statue is, the more divine power it has. If people worship it all the year round, it can scare away the devil in the heart. Give birth to a "pure heart".
In Qi Yu's view, this is very similar to the wrathful Vajra in Tantric Buddhism, except that the gods and Buddhas of Tantric Buddhism directly put the human heart, liver, intestines and lungs on their bodies as the three demons, which has a more cruel and rude meaning-the demon should be eliminated, Evil should be cut without mercy. *
Although the gods of the holy religion are ugly in appearance, they have no bloody evil spirit, which implies that the Sai clan regards heaven as their "father" and begs for mercy.
Roubi is so pious, why is she begging the heavenly Father to forgive her?
The author says:
* Some Baidu's angry body statue data, plus I made up a little bit of it.
In addition, the Western Regions Sai's Holy Religion is pure nonsense. I just briefly refer to the western theory that angels are ugly and devils are beautiful. Don't delve into it, it will expose the fact that I am uneducated.
