First Arrival Chapter 9: Slipping Out of the Palace
Chapter 9: Sneaking out of the palace~
The post-abolition turmoil raged in the harem for just one day, and ended with the death of Fu Quan, the fine of one year's salary for the minister of rites and the minister, and the sound of cracking porcelain from Shufang Pavilion and Lihua Palace, announcing its fiasco.
Emperor Ye's attitude towards this matter also slightly changed the views of everyone in the harem towards the one in the cold palace.
No matter whether she is favored or not! She is still the Queen!
The belated awakening made everyone in the harem panic for a while. Although they were not as overly pampered and arrogant as Concubine Li and Concubine Shu, they could not be called respectful and polite. It was common for them to bully the servants when they had nothing to do.
Things. Looking at the dazzling marks on the faces of the people in Shufang Pavilion and Lihua Palace, everyone who had ever bullied the cold palace could not help but feel frightened, fearing that the dazzling marks would soon appear on their faces. So.
For a time, people in Leng Palace noticed that from time to time there were people carrying things outside the door of Leng Palace to convey things. The flattering smiles on their faces made Yaya and others feel that the sun was coming out from the west.
Compared with the panic of those people, Concubine De, the only one among the three concubines who was still intact, reacted much calmly. Although Concubine Li and Concubine Shu had not seen Emperor Ye for more than two months, Concubine Li and Concubine Shu were now injured and lying in bed.
The opportunity to be favored was automatically given to her first. Although there were many concubines who had the same idea as her, how could the concubine De who wanted to be favored by the dragon get her wish? They thought that her position as a concubine was
Is it a free gift? How can you gain a foothold in this cannibalistic harem without some means? Although the emperor severely punished Concubine Shu and Concubine Li's father, on the surface it seemed that he valued the empress, but if he really valued it,
Why would she be sent to that gloomy and dark cold palace? So when Concubine De heard the report from her servants that all the concubines were sending gifts to the cold palace, she couldn't help but sneered.[
How can a bunch of idiots compete with her for favors?
Compared with the war for favor that is gradually erupting in the harem, everyone in the cold palace still lives an ordinary and leisurely life. They get up on time every day to practice martial arts, then perform their duties and work hard, and then go to bed at night. In their opinion, they can
Living such a life in this harem is already enjoyable, but for Shangguan Qi, who can't bear the loneliness and is unwilling to settle down, this kind of life is tantamount to chronic "suicide"! Finally, in a leisurely way
During tea time, Shangguan Qi couldn't help but explode.
"Xiao Yunzi! Come here!"
Listening to Shangguan Qi's slightly irritable tone, Xiao Yunzi was confused for a moment. After quickly thinking about not making his master angry, he walked over with a confused look on his head.
"Empress, you called me?" Xiao Yunzi looked at Shangguan Qi with an innocent face.
"Nonsense! Is there anyone else named Xiao Yunzi besides you in this cold palace?" Glancing at Yaya and the four girls Chun Xia Qiu Dong who were trying to eavesdrop, Shangguan Qi waved impatiently and then looked at them.
He came over with an excited look on his face.
"Let me ask you, are you responsible for purchasing the ingredients in the Leng Palace?" Shangguan Qi asked, recalling the matters in the Leng Palace that Yaya told him when he woke up.
"Yes. It's a slave." Xiao Yunzi wiped the sweat from his forehead. Why did he feel that his mother-in-law's eyes had a light without good intentions? But no matter what, Xiao Yunzi still said seriously, "My mother-in-law.
Since moving into the cold palace, the people in the imperial kitchen have been harsh on the empress. The Prime Minister couldn't bear it, so he paid Xiao to bribe the manager of the imperial kitchen and asked him to take Xiao with him every time he went out to buy food.
In this way, we can directly purchase the ingredients needed in the Cold Palace by ourselves. Over time, it has become a private practice in the palace. Therefore, everything in the Cold Palace is our own responsibility, and the managers of each palace in the harem
, it can be regarded as automatically removing us from the cold palace."
After hearing these words, Shangguan Qi held her chin and remained silent for a long time. Yaya thought that her mother-in-law was sad and was about to persuade her, but she heard Shangguan Qi's laughter like a clear spring.
"Haha~ God is really helping me!" In this way, things will be much easier to handle!
"Huh? How can God help me?" When several people heard this, they were immediately confused, but their subconscious told them that it was definitely not a good thing. Because every time the empress smiled like that, someone would definitely suffer!
"Xiao Yunzi, when was the last time you went out to buy ingredients?" Shangguan Qi ignored them and asked calmly while holding up the tea cup.
"Well, it will probably be ten days later, because we just made the purchase not long ago." Xiao Yunzi scratched her head and replied.
"Really?" Shangguan Qi frowned, "Then do you know if there is any secret passage to get out of the palace?" He took a sip of tea and asked casually.
"What! Come out..."
Before they were spoken, they were all retracted by Shangguan Qi's sudden cold light. They patted their hearts in fear, and suddenly felt that the look in the empress's eyes was really scary.
"Yes, yes...it's just..." Xiao Yunzi thought for a while, nodded, and replied hesitantly.
"No, it's just that you prepare a set of eunuch clothes for me. I will leave the palace tomorrow. If I stay here any longer, your mother-in-law will become moldy." Shangguan Qi reached out to interrupt him and prepared to go into the house.
Zhixiao Yunzi suddenly spoke and stopped her.
"Mother, Xiao Yunzi just remembered that we don't have much ingredients. So..." [
"Didn't you just say that you have to wait until the master of the imperial kitchen gives the order before leaving the palace to make purchases?" Shangguan Qi retracted his outstretched leg and looked at little Yunzi with a puzzled look on his face.
"Actually, it's just a palace rule on the surface. People in each palace will send people out to buy some things more or less every month. There is no need to report these to the superiors. Just take the empress of each palace to leave the palace.
." Sensing Shangguan Qi's suspicion, Xiao Yunzi hurriedly explained clearly. The urgent look on his face made Shangguan Qi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Okay. I understand. Then I will go out with you to buy ingredients tomorrow!" After patting Xiao Yunzi's shoulder, Shangguan Qi entered the hall in a comfortable mood. There is no need to doubt anyone, but not the employer. How could she put this
Forgot?
As soon as she entered the room, Yaya and the five palace maids of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter crowded in chattering, obviously expressing strong dissatisfaction with her preparations to leave the palace, but with a cold glance, everyone resigned helplessly.
Under Shangguan Qi's silent lustful power...
In the early morning of the next day, Shangguan Qi changed into a little eunuch's uniform with Yaya's help, and casually snatched the waistband of a little eunuch in the palace and hung it on her waist. Yaya was full of resistance but had to give in.
In the realistic expression, Xiao Yunzi and the two young eunuchs outside the palace walked out of the cold palace gate in a swagger.
Because it was still early, most of the people coming and going in the palace were palace maids and eunuchs, so there was not much risk. Moreover, they all took the lonely road that eunuchs took out of the palace. Except when they met the head of the imperial kitchen, he stopped and was ridiculed.
, the journey was smooth sailing. When the four of them were released from the palace under the inspection of the guards at the palace gate, Shangguan Qi could hear the sudden cry in his heart. It was a desire for freedom!
On the busy street, the vendors had already set up their stalls and started doing business for the day. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going with smiles on their faces, Shangguan Qi couldn't help but feel a little towards the husband she had never met.
He had a good impression. But he turned around and looked at the palace wall that was gradually disappearing in front of his eyes. Shangguan Qi once again beat this good impression to death in the dust.
Even a thirteen-year-old girl can be thrown into the cold palace. He is not a good emperor, but he is not a good man! I hope you will never meet him in the future, otherwise you will definitely beat him to death!
Here Shangguan Qi thought angrily, over there Xiao Yunzi had already told the two young eunuchs about the ingredients he wanted to buy. It was not the first time that the two young eunuchs had left the palace to do this, so they easily accepted the order.
He went to work. And Xiao Yunzi, on the other hand, was ordered by all the women in the cold palace to protect his master, otherwise, he would be dead!
"Master, let me take you around." Seeing Shangguan Qi looking around like a curious baby, little Yunzi stepped forward and said in a funny voice.
"Well, good!" If someone is a tour guide, why not?
But when Shangguan Qi walked around five streets, entered more than a dozen shops, and stopped in front of countless stalls, Xiao Yunzi suddenly realized how much trouble she had just proposed. Looking at Shangguan
When Qi was still in high spirits, not blushing or out of breath, and even more excited than when she first left the palace, but when she looked back and saw that she was already walking in an exaggerated manner, dripping with sweat, and could no longer take another step, she felt like
The absurd idea of serving as a servant and being the master always pops up in my mind.
At that moment, Xiao Yunzi seemed to hear a kind of glass called men's self-esteem cracking in her heart...
Finally, Shangguan Qi was tired of shopping. The two stopped in front of a restaurant, planning to pack a meal before continuing their fight.
"It's a private room for the shopkeeper!" As soon as she entered the door of the restaurant, Shangguan Qi said to the shopkeeper who was settling accounts on the platform. As soon as her oriole-like voice sounded in the restaurant, it immediately attracted inquiries from all directions.
.But upon discovering that such a beautiful voice was actually coming from the mouth of a eunuch, Xiyi in everyone's eyes suddenly turned into intense disappointment and deep contempt.
"Huh! Damn eunuch!"
The big man looked at the two people in eunuch uniforms and snorted disdainfully. The sound was neither loud nor quiet, but it was just right for Shangguan Qi, who was about to go upstairs, to hear him. Then he paused and spoke to the big man.
asked.
"Who is the dead eunuch talking about?"
"The dead eunuch is talking about you!"
"Oh - the dead eunuch is talking about me." Shangguan Qi curved the corner of his mouth, and imitated the big man's look before with an extremely contemptuous smile, but the smile couldn't be any more beautiful, coming from the corner of a eunuch's mouth, it still made everyone laugh.
Difficult to accept.
"I really didn't see it! You are also a eunuch!" When she was traveling, Shangguan Qi would eat everything she wanted, as long as she didn't suffer a loss! After saying that, she swept the big man's crotch rudely and curled her lips.
"You!" When the big man saw that he was being tricked by a eunuch, he immediately became angry. But since he was a member of the palace after all, he did not have an attack. He just glared at Shangguan Qi fiercely and sarcastically said again: "You are the best among men.
Scum!"[
"You are a scumbag among idiots!" Talking with each other will not hurt you! Shangguan Qi rolled his eyes at him and started to go upstairs.
"Crash!" The sound of the table being overturned interrupted her steps again. Shangguan Qi turned around to look, only to find that the big man who was sitting at the table drinking had walked towards them at some point, rubbing his fists, with an obvious desire in his eyes.
The anger that reduced them to ashes. At this time, everyone who was eating in the lobby on the first floor gathered in the corner, waiting to see the show that was about to begin.
The big man rubbed his palms, and the belly on his belly swayed slightly with every step. He looked at the two eunuchs who were skinny and tender, with a fierce look in his small soybean-like eyes.
It’s okay to be betrayed, but I still got betrayed by a eunuch!
nnd, he is a dead eunuch, what right does a dead slave have to harbor a "sound" man like him!
If he doesn't teach him a lesson today, he won't know what masculinity is!
The big man, who was so angry that he couldn't care less that the two people in front of him were from the palace, just wanted to crush them to death one by one, especially the pretty boy, and then whip them to death!
"What? You want to fight?" Shangguan Qi smiled lightly, came down the stairs that only took two steps, then pulled a chair aside and sat down, crossing her legs and looking at him with disdain. But Xiao Yunzi, on the other hand,
Swallowing, he pretended to be calm and stood behind Shangguan Qi.
"That's right! What? Are you afraid!?" The big man spit on the ground, pushed away the shopkeeper who was about to persuade him, and walked towards Shangguan Qi who was full of the smell of gunpowder.
"Little Yunzi, I leave it to you. I don't like the smell of pork on him. Get rid of him quickly." Shangguan Qi turned his head in disgust and said to little Yunzi beside him.
"Ah...what...what?" When Xiao Yunzi heard this, her legs were about to weaken in fear, but in Shangguan Qi's smiling but cold eyes, she straightened her legs tenaciously.
"Don't you understand? I want you to kill him!" Shangguan Qi rolled his eyes and suddenly found out why the men under him were so cowardly? Where did the momentum to fight against Concubine Li and Concubine Shu go?
"Master...Xiao Zhuzhu...this is the trouble you caused." Xiao Yunzi tried to make a final struggle.
Although he had learned kung fu, he had never practiced it in actual combat, and he was really not sure whether his small body and bones could defeat the huge monster in front of him.
"Hmm? Do you have any objections?" Shangguan Qi raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Xiao Yunzi was about to speak again, he jumped in and said, "Don't forget the promises you made before leaving the palace. You should be clear about the consequences."
After saying this, he folded his hands around his chest, closed his eyes and rested his mind. After hearing this, Xiao Yunzi suddenly felt that taking Guan Qi out of the palace was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life.
"Okay! I'll do it!" The worst he can do is die! Twenty years later, he will be a good man again! Instead of being drowned in saliva by those maids in the cold palace who looked at them with contempt and beat them to death with fists and kicks, it would be better to serve the master like a man.
Fight to the death!
"You! A brainless man who smells like pork! I will fight with you today!"
Forced with no way out, Xiao Yunzi finally broke out and rushed forward waving her fists...
