Chapter 149: Entering the Palace Together and Just Enjoying It?
"An old woman, what's there to try?"
Makino rejected Xiang Fei's proposal.
Before coming, the ghost hand had said that the empress dowager was indeed extraordinary. She was a great beauty when she was young, otherwise she would not have been favored by the King of Northern Liang.
But no matter how beautiful she is, she must be over forty now, right?
No matter how well maintained it is, it's just like that.
With the eyesight of a brothel customer, how can we see it?
"Young Master, don't you know?" Xiang Fei whispered, "The Empress Dowager is naturally beautiful. She is twenty-three years older than me, but her actual appearance is not much different from mine. I heard from people in the palace that the Empress Dowager He has good facial expressions and was a famous pharmacist when he was young. He was chosen because he saved the late emperor."
"This queen's appearance remains the same all year round. She is even more beautiful than many of the concubines in the emperor's harem. It is very strange."
When Makino heard this, he thought to himself, is it so powerful?
How can an old woman in her forties be comparable to a twenty-year-old woman like Xiang Fei?
Could it be that he has some kind of physical constitution?
Makino felt a little strange. There were so many powerful physiques in this sword world?
"How much do you know about the Queen Mother?"
Seeing that Makino was interested, Xiang Fei told everything she knew.
"This empress dowager is also a strange person in the palace. She is meditative and cultivates her character. She rarely leaves Cining Palace, but she is quite knowledgeable about the outside world. When I came, she told me my origin in one sentence, and even knew The condition of my body.”
Xiang Fei said, "In addition, her martial arts skills are quite advanced, and she has taught me a lot. It's just that the Queen Mother can be strange sometimes."
"Why is it weird?"
"She disappears at regular intervals." Xiang Fei whispered, "People in the palace said that she went out to collect herbs and went to many famous mountains and rivers in the capital. A while ago, before Canglong Pass fell, it was said that this The empress dowager once went to Canglong Mountain to collect medicine."
Makino nodded slightly.
"By the way, can you enter the martial arts pavilion that day?"
"Yes, I can only go in with the Empress Dowager. In addition, I can't go to the highest building." Xiang Fei said, "There were many powerful divine martial arts in the martial arts pavilion that day, and the Empress Dowager taught me a few before."
"You have such a good relationship with her?"
Xiang Fei nodded and said:
"Yes, very good. As soon as I entered the palace, she was very nice to me. I guess that the empress dowager may want to use me to control the queen. To balance the power of the emperor's harem."
"She does seem to like me, though."
"He often feeds me a lot of good food, saying it can help me stay young forever." Xiang Fei suddenly thought, "By the way, do you know about the epidemic in Chuzhou? Let me tell you a secret."
"After I entered the palace, the Chuzhou court learned about the Chuzhou epidemic and didn't want to take care of it."
"But the empress dowager secretly told me that she has developed a medicine that can cure the Chuzhou epidemic."
Makino was quite surprised when he heard this.
The disease did not originate from ordinary animals. Instead, it originated from demons, was extremely difficult to cure, and was highly contagious.
When other characters come online these days, there are some stories of infectious diseases.
Only Yunzhou and Jinzhou handled the situation in a timely manner, which prevented the epidemic from spreading.
"She said that she had known about the Chuzhou epidemic for a long time." Xiangfei said, "It's just that she didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the government. So, she never paid attention to it. Until I was presented to the palace by the King of Chu, listen to me tell me about the Chuzhou epidemic It was only after the horror of the disease that I decided to develop the drug myself."
After hearing what Xiang Fei said, Makino became a little curious about the empress dowager.
"If Tianwu Pavilion wants to reach the highest level..." Makino asked, "Who is the only one who can do it?"
"Currently, only the Emperor and the Empress Dowager can go to the highest level to meet the ancestor." Xiang Fei only thought that Mr. Ji was interested in the sixth-grade ancestor, "Recently I heard that the ancestor was going to accept a disciple... It's difficult for the young master. Don’t you want to become a disciple?”
Xiang Fei smiled tenderly, "I'm afraid that the young master is too ruthless to be cruel. That ancestor named me a real young eunuch."
"You can't fake it."
"If the young master wants to meet the highest level of Tianwu Pavilion and meet the ancestor, then he must meet the empress dowager..."
Makino frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Did the Queen Mother tell you these words?"
Concubine Xiang was startled, but she didn't hide anything. She nodded and said, "It's true that I can't hide it from the young master. In fact, the empress dowager is also interested in you..."
"Did you tell her about me?"
"I didn't say it..." Xiang Fei's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, "It was... her old man saw it. She said that my body was so cold that I should have died long ago. But I was still intact and alive and well. Someone must have helped me get rid of the coldness in my body."
"She said that my vitality is beyond that of ordinary warriors, and my body's energy is strong. It must have been... with that gifted masculine man... and I was able to survive until now through the fusion of yin and yang between the two..."
Makoto was secretly shocked, he didn't expect that the Queen Mother was so powerful.
You can tell at a glance how powerful my brothel clients are.
"At first, I naturally didn't want to tell what happened between me and the young master." Concubine Xiang hesitated, "But for me, this is nothing. I was the concubine of King Qi before, and then the concubine of King Qin. Concubine, in the eyes of that emperor, I have already become a woman."
"I just thought that since the Queen Mother is interested in the young master..."
Xiang Fei's eyes flashed slightly, "Then it would be better to drag the Queen Mother into trouble. Anyway, I know that the young master will definitely come to me."
"..." Makino.
You are really a clever guy.
"So, the Empress Dowager saw through me. I would tell the Empress Dowager every once in a while..." Xiang Fei whispered, "I would tell the Empress Dowager something about me and the young master every once in a while."
"Is this also true?"
"Things that happen in a woman's boudoir..." Xiang Fei smiled with a look of lust in her eyes, "I just won't talk about it in front of you... The Queen Mother also looks like a dignified and elegant woman. But as soon as I talk about these things , she is often a little unbearable."
"Every time, I will hold hands and tighten my clothes, clench my feet and tremble. When I hear it, I will look like 'I don't believe it'."
"How can a man take so long?"
"How can singing and singing every night be worthwhile?"
"Sometimes they scold me and say that as a princess, I have no shame..."
Xiang Fei said as if she understands women's psychology very well, "The more she scolds me, the more greedy she is."
"..." Makino.
For a moment, Makino was speechless.
"At this point, the relationship between me and the Queen Mother is gradually getting better." Xiang Fei said, "But her understanding of the young master is limited to bed matters..."
Speaking of this, Xiang Fei took Makino's arm and embedded it between the snowy peaks.
"She doesn't know that the young master has such incredible power. It can make me, a weak woman, have such strength in a few days."
"And..." Xiang Fei pursed her lips and said, "I have a vague feeling that the Empress Dowager has heard too much about me and the young master. During the conversation, she occasionally asked me where you were. ?”
"She also wants to see how there can be such a strange...man in this world."
Hearing this, Makino didn't know what to say for a moment.
When I came to the capital, I had been busy for a long time for this final branch of my career.
At Guishou's place, he learned this and that, and also learned specifically about the empress dowager, the forces in the palace, and so on.
And how to get close to the empress dowager, etc...
I spent a long time working on it together, but it was all in vain.
Did Xiang Fei do all this by herself?
Entering the palace by yourself, do you just want to enjoy it?
Is this the prostitute route?
From the moment Xiang Fei started talking about the Empress Dowager, Makino knew it was not simple.
After all, the two of them had just had a heart-to-heart talk, so why did they mention another woman so well?
Good guy, feelings are premeditated, right?
"Do you think you've betrayed me, my master?" Makino pretended to be angry, "Who do you think I am?"
"Hmph! This palace is giving you an opportunity. Mr. Ji, please don't be ignorant of praise." Concubine Xiang raised her chin and looked as if I was a noble concubine. "I advise you to serve the Queen Mother and me well in the future."
"Your service is ready. Is there anything you want in this harem and above the dynasty?"
"Ah... Young Master... spare... spare me..."
——
Cining Palace.
The fragrant concubine, who was well dressed in court clothes and had a face as bright as the spring breeze, came to pay her respects to the empress dowager early in the morning.
"Hey, the imperial concubine is here..." Eunuch Liu hurriedly bowed in front of the door, "The Queen Mother has been talking about you for several days, and she is looking forward to you coming to talk to her. She heard that she was sick and cold, and she even specially gave you You made a pot of jade ginger marrow soup..."
"Please come in quickly, the Queen Mother has just risen..."
Xiang Fei walked into Cining Palace. There was a special fragrance in the palace, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
It is said that this fragrance was created by the Queen Mother herself.
When I went outside to buy the rouge, it was actually not for my own use, but to study the power of the rouge.
Entering the inner hall, Concubine Xiang waited for a long time.
She has the best relationship with the Queen Mother and is usually the first to come to pay her respects. The other concubines will come later. The Queen Mother would not let them stay after paying her respects.
After waiting for a while, the other concubines came one by one.
The queen also came.
Concubine Xiang closed her eyes and rested her mind. She had an outstanding appearance, and the difference among the concubines was very obvious.
After a while, the Queen Mother came out wearing a golden court dress and a bejeweled crown.
Only then did Xiang Fei open her eyes and look at the Queen Mother.
To be fair, the Queen Mother is a woman.
Looking at him in front of the young master and saying that he is similar to himself is a bit of a compliment, but not much.
But Xiang Fei knew that when she first saw the empress dowager, she really thought that the empress dowager was about the same age as herself.
She has a delicate face and fair cheeks. A pair of moon-like apricot eyes look soft, there are no wrinkles at the corners of the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the facial features look very majestic. The nobility cultivated by being in a high position for many years gave her peaceful brows a bit of breathtaking majesty.
In terms of appearance alone, Xiang Fei felt that the Queen Mother could not be said to be the most beautiful woman in the country.
It is more about the noble aura that has been cultivated through the combination of body and temperament, and the virtuous meaning that exudes when alone, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary women.
After paying their respects, all the concubines left tremblingly.
Only Xiang Fei remained.
"Concubine Xiang, please come to the back hall with the Ai family." The Queen Mother smiled lovingly, "The Ai family has something important to tell you..."
Say it, the Queen Mother said.
The personal maid on the side nodded and walked outside the palace.
Concubine Xiang followed the Queen Mother to the back hall.
"You said you were suffering from the cold these days. I see that your complexion is different today..."
On the way, the Queen Mother smiled half-heartedly, "Tell me, what happened these days?"
"It's just that I caught the wind and cold..." Xiang Fei said with a smile, "If you take care of your body, your complexion will naturally be much better. Queen Mother, it's the recent disciple chosen by our ancestors. Don't you care about the relationship? I heard that the Queen is looking around. There’s a suitable candidate.”
"Ha." The Queen Mother said, "Only our ancestors can do the things that our ancestors did. We just need to do our part."
"Besides, I haven't seen Concubine Xiang for a few days. Are we separated now? Is there anything else you want to hide from the Ai family?"
Xiang Fei thought to herself, this Queen Mother is really mature, she seems to have guessed something just by looking at her.
Yes, Xiang Fei thought that the Queen Mother must have guessed it.
The apse is a private space, guarded by palace ladies outside, and there are only two people in the gorgeously decorated inner hall.
"Isn't it time to introduce your young master to me?" The Queen Mother turned around and sat in the main seat with a smile on her face. "Others can't tell. Do you think the Ai family can't smell the manly scent in you?" What?"
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's eyes were sharp, "Palace compound, how brave is your old lover? You even dare to touch the emperor's woman. You really don't want your life. How dare you enter the palace quietly?"
Xiang Fei was silent.
"Okay, okay." The Queen Mother waved her hand.
A palace maid came up with a pot of tea in her hand and poured tea for Xiang Fei.
The tangy fragrance in the tea made Xiang Fei couldn't help but twitch.
The palace maid put down the teapot and walked out of the inner hall. Concubine Xiang gently picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp:
"Your Canglong Snow Tea is really good. I feel different every time I drink it..."
"Okay, you've drank the tea. It's time to talk, right?" the Queen Mother said.
"You old man... really want to meet him?" Xiang Fei smiled sweetly, "Aren't you afraid that what I said before were all made up by my concubine? Mr. Ji is just a fictitious person, just what he imagined in his dreams That’s all.”
"How can there be such a man in this world?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said nothing.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in her eyes, staring at Xiang Fei.
Xiang Fei's body trembled slightly before she said:
"Okay, is that in Cining Palace or Yixiang Palace?"
"Your man will naturally go to your side." The Queen Mother said, "I haven't been to the Yixiang Palace for a long time."
"But... there is a request."
"Request?" The Queen Mother was stunned.
"It's the young master's request." Xiang Fei said, "He wants to go to Tianwu Pavilion and take a look at the strange book 'Prison Sky Sutra'."
The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing when she heard this:
"Interesting. Before we met, an ordinary man made a request to the Ai family? Who does he think he is?"
"Being able to meet the Ai family is a blessing he has earned in his eight lifetimes. Where did he come from, Po Tianhao, to dare to make demands of me..."
Xiang Fei suddenly smiled sweetly:
"That's not the case. If the young master had not been so bold, how could he have dared to play with a prince's concubine wantonly?"
"The Queen Mother has heard so much about me and him, doesn't she know how courageous he is?"
Hearing this, even the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel her cheeks heat up.
"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother slapped the seat, "This person really doesn't know what the world is! That's all. The Ai Family has the right to be a story!"
"Now, you are the concubine of the harem. An ordinary adulterer dares to get involved in the harem. The Ai family must capture this thief and clear out the harem!"
"So, what does the Queen Mother mean?"
"Show off in Yixiang Palace and capture the thief!"
"..."
——
In Yixiang Palace, Makino stood on the roof and saw the Queen Mother driving from a distance.
In the drive, there are two figures.
One of them must be Xiang Fei.
another one.
"Queen Mother..."
Makino squinted his eyes and seemed to be able to feel a gaze looking towards this place from the couch.
He was slightly startled, feeling a little subtle.
He opened his eyes subconsciously, and his eyes were as penetrating as fire.
At the same time, the mind's eyes were opened wide, and the world around him suddenly turned into black and white under the eyes of the Demon Sealer, coupled with the eyes.
Perception reached its limit.
A subtle breath came from the seat.
Makino was slightly startled.
"Hey, there's something demonic about it."
