Text Chapter 1569: The Heavenly Queen Summons
No need to explain much, Qingzhu understood it at a glance, it turned out there was such a strange thing. After a little bit of magic and understanding, he understood how to use it. When he lifted the hairpin in his hand, the lifelike red butterfly resting on it immediately spread its wings and flew, flying lightly between several people, attracting everyone's attention.
Qingzhu stretched out a finger to catch the butterfly, laughed, flicked his finger, and the butterfly flew up again, circled around, and landed back on the green vine branches with tender buds.
The people around him were very curious. Qingzhu looked at the hairpin in his hand again and again, and laughed: "What a clever and exquisite jewelry. This is the first time I have seen such a thing today. Hmm! Interesting and beautiful."
When they heard him say it was beautiful, the concubines immediately stared at the jewelry in his hand with shining eyes.
As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. Just as Qingzhu's eyes fell on Zhan Ruyi, Xiahou Chengyu took a step forward, smiled and bowed his head slightly and said, "How about giving it to me?"
She asked for it in public. Qingzhu knew that she didn't want others to steal the limelight in front of the concubines. He smiled and reached out to insert the hairpin into her bun.
Xiahou Chengyu, with his head held high and chest puffed, gently stroked the hairpin on his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you think I look good wearing it?"
It's nice to be obedient and there's nothing to lose. Qingzhu smiled and nodded and said: "It's unique and beautiful."
Xiahou Chengyu's face was immediately full of light. He subconsciously looked around at the concubines and half-knelt and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Qingzhu waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing. He smiled at Xiahou Chengyu and Zhan Ruyi and said: "I don't understand these things. Let's just take a look. The Queen and the Concubine can choose for themselves." He turned around, put his hands behind his back and slowly admired the jewelry in the box. He would not buy it easily, otherwise it would easily cause a group of women to be jealous, and maybe a few people in the harem would die inexplicably.
As he looked along the way, Xiahou Chengyu was not soft-hearted. If he thought it was good or beautiful, he would take it directly. There were fairies who came to help carry it. He picked hundreds of pieces. Some of them happened to be liked by other concubines, which caused some people to hate him secretly.
Zhan Ruyi was a three-time winner. After picking three pieces, she stopped.
After several people finished looking, Xiahou Chengyu smiled and waved to the other concubines, saying, "The things are good, sisters, come and have a look."
After hearing her words, a group of women immediately walked in quickly. The order can show the status of the superiors and subordinates. Those who are slightly favored and have a little status in the harem, no one dares to surpass them, and they just follow behind to pick the rest.
The scene was full of laughter and joy, holding the jewelry to help each other put on and judge whether it looks good.
Although Yun Zhiqiu brought more jewelry this time than here, some concubines were angry when they saw it. Will they go up to pick up the rags after the people in front have finished picking? They simply went to the side to chat, too lazy to join in the fun.
But this didn't work either. Someone glanced at them. Do you think we are vulgar? Are you pretending to be noble?
For example, Xiahou Chengyu was one of them. He signaled to other concubines with his eyes to remember those concubines and make them look good later.
As soon as Qingzhu returned to the pavilion and sat down, Xiahou Chengyu followed and sat beside him, smiling: "Your Majesty, look how happy the sisters are. These exquisite jewelry are indeed rare. In my opinion, why not let the shop of King Kou Tianwang's adopted daughter stop selling them and list them as tributes for the harem of heaven?"
Qingzhu pondered and said: "This is not appropriate. They open the door to do business, isn't this cutting off their business? If everyone really wants it, just ask them to send it to you later."
Xiahou Chengyu deliberately rolled his eyes at him, "Your Majesty, why don't you understand? If the things worn by the sisters in the harem can be seen everywhere outside, what's the point? Wouldn't it lose the dignity of the sisters!"
Qingzhu suddenly realized and understood that this was related to women's vanity and face, and he hesitated again, "There are only a few people in the harem. Wouldn't it ruin their business?" From a certain perspective, he still cares about what people think of him.
Xiahou Chengyu: "Make compensation on the price, raise the price, and don't let them suffer a loss. Your Majesty will not be reluctant to pay this money for the sisters, right? After being used as a tribute, it can also be used as a reward for the imperial concubine in the future."
Qingzhu laughed, "You can discuss this matter with your superiors."
Xiahou Chengyu, "Then I will take it as your Majesty's agreement."
Qingzhu pointed at her, smiled and shook his head, looking like he couldn't do anything to her, which was considered an agreement. In front of the concubines, he gave enough face to the head of the harem.
Turning back, looking at Zhan Ruyi standing aside, he smiled and asked: "My beloved concubine seems to be worried?"
Zhan Ruyi was indeed a little distracted. After hearing this, she came back to her senses and was silent for a while, saying: "I heard that Niu Youde was punished in Yutian, and I want to go over to see him." She didn't hide her thoughts at all, and she really thought so.
Xiahou Chengyu was annoyed when he heard it, and warned: "Tian Fei, how can you say this? You are the emperor's concubine now, how can you go and meet other men casually!"
Qingzhu raised his hand to stop her from continuing, and asked Zhan Ruyi curiously, "My beloved concubine, why do you want to go and see him?"
Zhan Ruyi said calmly: "After all, he was my former boss, and now he is being punished. I want to see how he is now."
Xiahou Chengyu heard something else and sneered: "Tian Fei, I know you have some grudges in the past, but you are now the Tian Fei, and some of the grudges in the past are over. Don't you think it's inappropriate to be so petty?"
Qingzhu also thought that this was the case, and pondered: "It's okay for my beloved concubine to go and see..."
"Your Majesty..." Xiahou Chengyu immediately objected.
Qingzhu raised his hand to stop him again, stared at Zhan Ruyi and continued: "He will become King Kou Tian's son-in-law after all. King Kou Tian can't give him any face. You can go and have a look. Don't go too far. If you really want to If something happens to someone, your grandpa will be the first to come and apologize, and I won’t be able to speak for you then, do you understand?”
Zhan Ruyi actually just wanted to see Miao Yi and solve some doubts in her heart. She didn't care whether others would misunderstand, so she said what she said directly. But listening to the emperor and empress, she seemed to think that she wanted to go Find Niu Youde to settle accounts.
She didn't bother to explain, she bowed slightly and saluted, "I leave you, my concubine!"
Master Qing waved his hand, sure.
Xiahou Chengyu's face was filled with anger. After watching Zhan Ruyi go away, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Your Majesty, if everyone behaves like her in the future, what are the rules of the harem?"
Qingzhu pointed at a group of concubines outside, "If the entire harem can calm down like Concubine Tian, then the harem will be pure and there will be no more trouble."
Xiahou Chengyu: "I really haven't noticed that she has stopped. I'm afraid she is the most powerful person in the harem who creates gangs."
Qingzhu stared coldly, "Chengyu, am I blind or deaf in your eyes?"
Knowing that he was going to get angry, Xiahou Chengyu's momentum immediately weakened, and he curled his lips and did not dare to say anything anymore.
Personal maids Yin Shuang and Bai Xue accompanied them, as well as several Tiangong guards responsible for protection. The group descended from the sky and landed in the corner of the field.
In the fields, all kinds of grains and vegetables are growing happily, and the green color is rippling in the wind. Xian'e, who is dedicated to tending these, comes and goes from time to time. These fruits and vegetables grown here are really not just decorations. Because the Emperor of Heaven takes the lead, the things grown here are really going to be sent to the Heavenly Palace to be used as ingredients and will not be wasted.
"Empress Tianfei!" Several immortals saluted tremblingly.
It's been a long time since I've seen such down-to-earth greenery. Zhan Ruyi, who had been sulking in the palace walls for many years without leaving the palace, was a little obsessed with it. His eyes were a little confused. He stretched out his slender fingers and touched them gently, feeling the green leaves. The feeling of running through your fingertips. She now understands why Master Qing comes here to farm occasionally. She used to find it funny when she was on guard duty in the garden, but now she understands that when she gets here, she realizes that she is still a normal person.
The fingertips were curled back, and the palm was spread out in front of the eyes again. It was white, delicate, and smooth... Looking at it again and again, I saw that this hand used to hold swords and guns and fight on the battlefield. It was full of passion and vitality, but now its greatest role is It is used to take off your clothes and expose your body for people to enjoy.
Yinshuang pointed to a large piece of green land in front of her and told: "Empress, these ten acres of fertile land are allocated to our East Palace, and they usually help take care of it." She pointed to several Xian'e beside her.
Zhan Ruyi came to his senses and said, "Reward!"
Bai Xue immediately took out a few storage rings and distributed them to the Xian'e. After thanking them, they withdrew without seeing anything to do.
Walking among the green grass, I opened my Dharma eyes and looked around. I saw scattered heavenly guards, but I didn't see Niu Youde. I tilted my head and asked, "Isn't Niu Youde punished to stand here? Why didn't you see them?" Call him to me."
Of course she didn't see her coming. When Miao Yi saw her coming, he hurried into a nearby grove. It could be said that he was afraid of the woman's revenge, or that he didn't want to see her. However, he was asked to see him by name, so he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
A red-armored general who obeyed the order seemed to know the direction of Miao Yi's station. He ducked and landed next to an imperial guard and asked, "Where is Niu Youde?"
The guard looked around and felt a little strange, "I just saw him standing over there, maybe he left because of something."
The red-armored general immediately took out the star bell and contacted him: Niu Youde, where did he go?
He and Niu Youde had drank several times, and they were considered old acquaintances.
Miao Yi replied: What's the matter?
Red-armored General: Come to Yutian quickly, Princess Tian has summoned you.
Miao Yi suddenly became nervous: Brother Gan, I am the lowest-level soldier and know nothing. Why did Concubine Tian summon me? Our team leader is nearby. If you need anything, please ask our team leader.
Red-armored general: Concubine Tian wants to see you by name. I have no use for your corps commander. Get out of here quickly and don’t waste time to cause trouble for yourself.
He turned his head and saw Miao Yi flashing out of the woods not far away, and couldn't help but said happily: "You don't hide in the woods to poop, do you?"
Miao Yi rolled his eyes. Seeing other guards nearby, he switched to voice transmission and asked, "Brother Gan, what does Tian Fei want from me?"
The red-armored general replied: "How do I know? I know what you are worried about. Isn't it just that little thing before? Where is the courage to fight for fifty thousand against one million? It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. It's on your head. You can't run away, hurry up, King Kou Tian's son-in-law, can he kill you? At most, he will make you suffer a little! Don't worry, everyone will know what to do later, remember to call him. It’s miserable, don’t make it difficult for us.” (To be continued.)
