Wu Jie was a little dazed when she heard the news of her bed attendant.

It was as if the sword hanging above the head finally fell down, extending the head was a slash, and retracting the head was also a slash.

The palace servants who came to summon the messenger looked happy, and Chi Rui ordered the palace maid to reward the visitor heavily, and then told the servants to get busy.

Clean the yard, tidy up the room, and get ready to welcome the royal driver. Concubines of the noble concubine level can pick them up in their own palace, and don't have to rush to Qian'an Palace.

Amidst the beaming joy in the hall, Wu Jie's pale face looked particularly abrupt.

My master is too nervous. Occasionally someone notices and just thinks so.

Not wanting to see the busy appearance of the whole palace, Wu Jie simply left the bedroom and went to the small garden behind.

"You don't seem to be very willing." A lazy voice came from above your head.

Unexpectedly, in such a secluded place, the ears are not clean.

Wu Jie looked up, Chen Jiao was sitting on the top of a white stone flower shelf, looking at her leisurely.

The slowly setting sun was hanging behind him, rendering an overwhelming golden red. Against such a gorgeous background, the light blue shadow seemed a bit unrealistic and illusory.

Wu Jie never let down her vigilance against this confidant's serious trouble, and asked Chi Rui to always pay attention to his movements.

But in the past few days since he came to the palace, he has never made any movements, and he has very little contact with the surrounding palace people, which can be said to be honest and withdrawn. Didn't expect it to come out of here.

Wu Jie raised her foot and kicked away a small stone. "Whether this palace is willing or not is none of your business"

"I'm in a good mood today, it's rare for me to care about my master." He smiled and asked, "Do you need help?"

Wu Jie was stunned, and then remembered that the two had agreed before that he would follow her to the palace, and if there was anything inconvenient for her to solve, she could leave it to him.

"How are you going to solve this matter?" Wu Jie was curious.

"It's not easy, such as setting fire to the opposite palace, causing a certain concubine to fall into the lake and get seriously ill, or the queen mother is a little frightened."

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the guards?" Wu Jie asked. Since Yuan Jing's return, the number of guards patrolling and guarding the palace has increased several times with the naked eye.

"I am quite confident in my martial arts."

Wu Jie shook her head, "Forget it, what's the use of delaying for a while, can it be delayed for a lifetime?"

"It turns out that what the princess wants is a way to avoid future troubles." Chen Jiao's eyes on her changed.

He put his hands up and jumped off the flower stand.

"There is no way to prevent future troubles." While speaking, he took out something from his arms and squeezed his hands, "Your driver is here, you want to eat here, just put this thing into the soup, Guaranteed that the medicine will kill the life, and it will be over once and for all."

It was a round pill.

Wu Jie was so frightened that she almost jumped up, staring at the small pill in someone's hand, "You really want to kill the king." Her tone was sharp at first, but soon became low, and she looked around cautiously.

"No, it's not that I want to kill the king, it's you who want to kill the king." Chen Jiao kindly reminded.

Wu Jie's cheeks twitched, and she looked up at him angrily, "I'm not you, I'm best at murdering my husband."

"It seems that the princess doesn't like this plan anymore." Chen Jiao blinked and shrugged, "It's a pity for my Shijue Killing Pill."

"You actually brought this kind of thing with you when you entered the palace." Wu Jie gritted her teeth, "What I said earlier would not implicate us, Dongyue, is indeed a lie."

"Princess, there is no need to show such fearful eyes. I really did not enter the palace to assassinate the emperor."

"Then who are you going to give this poison and medicine to?" Wu Jie sneered.

"Give it to the queen mother, I have long wanted to kill this old woman."

This answer was too unexpected, Wu Jie was full of astonishment. The Empress Dowager Hong has a delicate temperament and doesn't care about foreign affairs, how could she provoke murderous intentions?

Chen Jiao said bitterly, "Who made this old godmother so troublesome, what kind of ice crystal and snow water do I want, so I have to get up before the fourth watch every day."

Wu Jie was stunned, and then she remembered the Queen Mother Hong. Because of her poor health in the past two years, she has become more and more superstitious about the magician's elixir. In the past two months, she has heard about using frost and snow melting water that has not seen the sun, combined with many secret medicines, Come to bathe the body, you can expel disease and filth, and strengthen your body, so the servants in the palace of life began to collect snow and frost before dawn.

However, Empress Dowager Hong was always obsessed with cleanliness, so she didn't want the frost and snow that fell on the bricks and tiles, so she ordered the palace servants to choose plum petals for use.

Fortunately, there is a large grove of plum blossoms at the east end of the imperial garden, so a large number of maids in the palace went into the grove to collect plum blossoms before dawn. They use a special small brush to sweep the frost and snow from the petals into the white porcelain plate, and then gather them together. Be careful not to damage the petals, because you will have to rely on these flowers to receive the ice and snow in the following days.

Because ice and snow belong to Yin, only court ladies can do it, not eunuchs. In order to make up for it, not only the palace staff of the Compassionate Ning Palace had to be busy, but even the maids in the various concubines' palaces were dispatched to take turns to help.

In this season, when a drop of water turns into ice and the lights are dark, it is not a pleasant thing to collect cold frost. You can tell by Chen Jiao's gnashing of teeth.

Wu Jie's heart felt dark, fortunately she was a concubine, so she didn't have to do such hard work.

But she still reminded, "Don't mess around, this Great Wei Palace is not your Prince Fu's Mansion, and no one will care if you murder your own husband."

Chen Jiao glanced at her coldly, without saying a word, just threw the death pill in his hand into his mouth.

Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that she had been tricked by this guy again.

I was annoyed, but calmed down quickly.

She snorted, turned and left.

However, after going through the tit-for-tat confrontation just now, Wu Jie felt that her emotions had calmed down a lot.

In fact, it's not like haven't served that person in two lifetimes, so why be nervous?

Thinking about it carefully, his skills are not bad, and he is also considerate, at least he is very gentle and expressive in bed, so he can enjoy a male favorite. Before Dongyue's ancestors, there was an imperial aunt who was young and widowed, so she raised several faces, and she might not be as handsome as Yuan Jing.

Most of the spiritual victory methods work well.

When it was time for dinner, Wu Jie completely calmed down.

Soon, Yuan Jing came over.

Before entering the main hall, Wu Jie came out with the palace attendants.

This was the first time Yuan Jing saw her newly conferred noble concubine. Somewhat unexpectedly, the beauty of the woman in front of her is considered top-notch in the palace. It's called Zifen.

Wu Jie led the crowd to bow down and salute.

Still a little nervous. It's not because of the entanglement in the previous life, but because of that encounter in Xue Ye, he wouldn't recognize him, after all, his appearance and voice have changed a lot.

Fortunately, this worry did not come true. Yuan Jing did not recognize her, and personally stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile, "You don't need to be polite."

Wu Jie took a step behind and welcomed Yuan Jing into the side hall, where the imperial meals had already been set up.

"It's just an ordinary meal, and it's enough for someone to serve you. The princess doesn't have to work." Yuan Jing sat down on the table and said gently.

Wu Jie didn't refuse either, and sat down.

The meals at the banquet were all delivered by Qian An Gong according to Yuan Jing's taste.

Yuan Jing asked with a smile, "I heard that the food in Yue Country is more light, but here in Capital City, it's heavy oil and salt. I don't know if I'm used to it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The food in the palace is delicious and delicious." Wu Jie replied casually. No matter how much you don’t like it, you have already gotten used to it after eating it for five or six years in your previous life.

Yuan Jing smiled, "There should be people in the imperial dining room who are good at local tastes, and you can send a few to the small kitchen of Bixiao Palace to listen to them."

Wu Jie's complexion darkened. In her previous life, when she was canonized as a noble concubine, she also received this kind of treatment. Not to mention that there is a special small kitchen in the palace, and she also selected a few servants who are good at southern cuisine. But not long after, as he fell out of favor, even these people were not kept, and were even killed in that twists and turns.

She forced a smile and said, "Bixiao Palace is not my place alone. Concubine Lu Gui may not like southern dishes. What's more, since the concubines have entered the emperor's harem, they will be members of Wei from then on. How can there be any differences in taste?" .”

She declined, and Yuan Jing naturally wouldn't insist. The two continued to eat, and a meal was considered a joy for the host and guest.

During the banquet, Chi Rui took two maids to serve.

After dinner, Yuan Jing went back to Qian'an Palace to deal with government affairs. At night, came to Bixiao Palace again.

Wu Jie had finished showering and grooming, and welcomed Yuan Jing into the bedroom.

Look at the beauty under the light, more three-point style.

Yuan Jing looked at Wu Jie who was bowing gracefully, and was a little absent-minded for a moment. With such a complexion and temperament, is she really just a maid?

He held her hand, her skin was as delicate as jade, but it was slightly cold, which made people feel pity.

Knowing that the other party was nervous, he said softly, "The princess used to like to do embroidery, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was in her boudoir."

"Left and right are just serving people." Wu Jie lowered her head, "I used to serve the princess, but now I serve the emperor."

It sounds a little inappropriate to listen carefully, but Yuan Jing didn't mind, "I heard that you worshiped the old master many times along the way, and you must have a very good relationship in the boudoir. It is true that Prince De regards you as a righteous daughter. deserved."

In all fairness, Yuan Jing performed well tonight, being easy-going and natural, with friendly words, which made people relax involuntarily.

It's been a long time since saw him like this, Wu Jie was in a daze. When she first entered the palace, he had such a gentle and elegant appearance that she unconsciously dreamed of him.

Later, after seeing her for a few years, she used her means to regain her favor, and the way people in front of her saw her, she had long since lost the tenderness of the past. It was just a kind of knowing indifference, even with sarcasm.

She will never forget the day after she regained her favor, after the two of them were tossed about on the bed, he got up and looked at her cold and sarcastic eyes, "Your Highness is really wronged by being so gentle and flattering."

He said flatly, the coldness between his brows expanded infinitely.

Wu Jie's clothes were disheveled, she was so ashamed and angry that she just bowed her head and said nothing.

Maybe it's because she's lowered into the mud, and he's not interested in stepping on it anymore. Afterwards, she readily accepted her pet invitation, and the two had countless happy times. She served her carefully, and he didn't say any more words that made her feel ashamed. Just like ordinary emperors and favored concubines.

But that experience still left her with an indelible scar, or the real scar was his treachery and killing the people and clan of Yue Country.

It was about before he left Beijing to go south, he summoned her once. Wu Jie couldn't help but ask about the war.

Yuan Jing is in a good mood, good news from the front is coming frequently, South Chen has even fallen to Capital City, and most of the territory has been conquered by the Great Wei cavalry. The country is almost destroyed. And he, the emperor, is about to leave for the south and set foot on the battlefield.

He patiently answered Wu Jie's questions. As for Wu Jie's plea to treat the people of Yue Country kindly, he also obediently agreed.

What was it said at the time.

"If you are willing to treat me with sincerity, I will never let you down again."

I'm too stupid to take the promise made by a man when he's happy

Wu Jie's thoughts were surging, and it took a moment to come back to her senses. When she looked up, she found that Yuan Jing was staring at her with a frown, slightly surprised.

He thought that his new concubine was shy and nervous, but what's wrong with this kind of distraction while talking well? He asked two consecutive questions without any response.

It was late, and it was dark outside. Yuan Jing didn't delay any longer, and simply pulled her to the side of the bed.

Under Wu Jie's shocked eyes, he smiled and lowered his head.

The moment their lips touched, Wu Jie avoided reflexively.

Kissing her soft cheek, Yuan Jing was taken aback.

Taking advantage of this time, Wu Jie broke free from his embrace and took two steps back.

In fact, Yuan Jing didn't use too much force, allowing her to escape from her shackles.

Standing on the edge of the bed, Wu Jie lowered her gaze.

Yuan Jing stared at her, such a reaction was not shy or nervous, she was not willing at all. The expression of resistance, as well as the embarrassing movements, all showed her attitude.

This kind of experience is probably the first time for Yuan Jing. He was born well, and his status was noble. He had never been the only one who had the experience of being greeted and petted by a woman, and he had never been so nakedly rejected.

After a moment of silence, he said, "It's my mistake. I didn't ask Prince De if you wanted to, so I issued an order to call you into the palace."

Maybe she has someone she loves back home or something. Yuan Jing was too lazy to pursue it, nor was she too lazy to argue with a concubine.

Although the woman in front of him is beautiful, but he has never been a person who values ​​appearance, and he has no shortage of women.

"You should have a good rest first, I'm going back first." Yuan Jing said in a deep voice, calm and composed.

After speaking, he immediately turned and left.

Wu Jie quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the waiter left completely, she sat down on the edge of the bed relaxedly.

I had already decided to wrong myself for one night, but I really didn't want it to happen, and I couldn't bear it calmly.

The grievance of this night will be the grievance of many more nights in the future. It would be better to simply bite the bullet and refuse.

Fortunately, no matter what he is, he is also a proud person, and it is impossible to force a reluctant woman.

Anyway, she is just a mascot, as long as Great Wei still needs Dongyue, she doesn't have to worry about her status, and with that person's rationality, she won't be angry because of such a trivial matter in the palace. Because it's not worth it at all.

Outside the bedroom door, Wan Chongji was instructing a few young eunuchs, he was surprised when he saw the emperor coming out, and hurried forward to meet him.

"Your majesty..." He didn't know how to ask. When watching the meal before, the emperor was quite satisfied with this concubine Wu Gui.

Yuan Jing saw his worried expression and paused.

After pondering for a while, he ordered, "I remembered that there are still a few important books in Qian'an Palace that I haven't finished reading. Go over and fetch them, and I'll have a look in the small study over here."

The young emperor came to the throne not long ago, but he was extremely diligent. Compared with the concubine, government affairs are naturally more important. Wan Chongji understood, and hurried back to Qian'an Palace in person.

After a while, took the booklet.

That night, Yuan Jing spent half the night reading the excerpts in the study in the East Hall of Bixiao Palace, and spent the rest of the night directly in the study.

In the early morning of the next day, Wan Chongji went in and helped Yuan Jing change into court clothes.

Between movements, Yuan Jing said casually, "Now everything in the palace is peaceful, I don't want to hear any gossip."

Wan Chongji was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the emperor was referring to what happened tonight, and bowed his head and said, "I understand."

I don't want to spread this matter, because don't want Wu Guipin to be a difficult person.

After all, it was a humiliation for the concubine to fail to go to bed on the first day.

But he couldn't help thinking in his heart, if the emperor really disliked Wu Guipin, he didn't need to bother to make her face better.Since there is no rejection, why is there no call for luck? Could it be that the government is really bothered.
