At dusk, Huanan Xin came to Jingyang Palace.
Entering the Main Hall, he saw Gu Yunxi was sick in bed.
Her palm-sized face did not wear much make-up. She was tired with washed-out eyes.
The candle shone brightly, and the clear light gave a gentle silhouette to her jade-skinned and snow-built face.
The pure, fresh, and plain appearance was also a kind of strange aesthetic feeling with the temptation that drew the soul.
Sensing the obsession of the Emperor's deep gaze, which could not be erased, Gu Yunxi gently turned around. She cleverly avoided his eyes and slowly walked to the table to make tea for him.
Huanan Xin saw it and took a few steps to stop her.
"Don't bother. I've already drunk water in Shuofeng Hall."
He took her hand and looked at her with deep affection. With gentleness in the corners of his eyebrows, he sighed.
"Dear, you don't feel well. Have you
At night, the moonlight fell lightly, casting on a silver-white gauze for the beautiful courtyard of Jingyang Palace.The heat accumulated during the day receded, and occasionally there were gusts of wind, faintly carrying the refreshing fragrance of flowers.In the middle of the hall, the old-fashioned square table was full of exquisite meals.Steamed lamb, distilled crab meat, shark fins with three shredded ingredients, stewed duck giblets, braised deer tendons, golden Siu Mai, milk rolls, candied cherries, fruit-stuffed lotus, flower pots, eight-treasure diced meat were included.The dishes were colorful and lustrous. The fragrant and delicious smell lingered on the nose, which was mouth-watering.There was a small charcoal stove in the middle of the pot, and several thumb-sized meat segments were stacked on the iron gridiron.A little eunuch held a silver tweezer and kept turning the meat over t
Jingle ran for a long time on the wide and empty palace road until she felt so weak that she was about to collapse.She slowed down and looked at the vast night sky. In the distance, she could see that the clouds were getting thicker in the sky and even the lonely full moon appeared hazy and pale.She couldn't help feeling desolate. She felt that she was on the full moon, alone and helpless.A few days ago, she met Yue Xilou outside Qinming Hall, and he took her out of the Palace and went all the way to the Royal Prison in the Eastern Depot. In the dark prison, she met the three people who had attacked her on the night of July 7th Girls' Day. They told her that it was the master of Jingyang Palace who had given them money and ordered them to ambush outside the Palace to attack Jingle when she appeared.Jingle was so shocked that she shuddered and nearly fainted. The confession of the three convinced her. She did not forget t
Over the dark imperial city at night, a flash of lightning flashed across.The thunder exploded and the rain poured."I'll ask you again, Huanan He. Do you want to marry me?"Commandery Princess Jingle shouted in a mournful voice. Her little face covered with tears and rain was pale, sad, and terrifying under the flash of the changing lightning."No matter how many times you ask, my answer is the same."Huanan He frowned, looking around the girl's tearful face with a heavy apology.Another cold wind chased after the silence. The silk was torn apart, and the burning pain on his right arm spread immediately.Huanan He turned around sharply, lowered his head, and looked at the viscous warmth oozing from the wound, with a shocked expression on his face.He raised his eyes in astonishment and slowly looked at Jingle."What did you do...? What did you do to me?"
Huanan He and Leshuang ran to the Jingyang Palace one after the other.Leshuang stayed behind the high wall while Huanan He turned over and entered the Jingyang Palace.The rain was fading.As soon as he entered the inner court, he saw that the palace maids and eunuchs gathered in a group under the corridor.The windows of the Main Hall were pitch black, making it impossible to see what was inside.Huanan He's heart hit his throat instantly, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped up.He strode down to the corridor and could not help but push the door to break in, but he was held tightly by several palace eunuchs. They were trying to persuade him.They were all arranged by Leshuang, and they knew the relationship between Concubine Yun and the Ninth Prince, so they didn't need any scruples.Huanan He was so angry that he would not listen. While struggling, the hall door su
Commandery Princess Jingle stood under the porch. The water dripped from the eaves, gradually smashing the damp soil into small pits of different shades. She watching this scene, feeling bored.For the first time, she felt that the night in the deep Palace was so empty and long.The wind was blowing, and the palace lanterns swayed.The girl raised her head slowly, staring at the only light in the darkness.Her heart seemed to be penetrated by a sharp blade. When she was savoring the clear and piercing pain, she suddenly thought of something.Jingle quickly ran back to the bedroom, rummaged through the boxes, and finally found the dragonfly lotus lantern from the messy pile of items.Fortunately, the lantern was not damaged. Jingle held it and looked around, feeling relieved.She stared at it steadily and then remembered that person.Her fingertips stroked the lamp silk, and
It was dawn when the sunshine spread all over the sky and the ground, shining into the window.Huanan Xin was awakened by Liang Zhen's high-pitched voice, "Your Majesty, it’s time to get up."The light purple bed curtain was made of beautifully colored threads with gorgeous patterns, and the outline emphasized by the gold threads was sparkling and vivid."Well, the bed and the bed curtain looked..." Huanan Xin thought to himself.Huanan Xin turned his head and saw a young woman sitting quietly at the head of the bed. She was dressed in a white nightdress with the pattern of flowers with her long black hair down."Yunxi? Last night we..." He was gentle and surprised.Although the memory of being drunk last night was vague, he was not drunk enough not to remember what he had done.The young woman turned around when she heard the sound. Without make-up, her face was beautiful, and her eyes
At her master's order, Xiuyu took the rest of the imperial wine and went out for a while before she came back with Lord Lei.Xiuyu's pretty face was filled with anger, and she said angrily, "Your Grace, you are really prophetic. I left Jingyang Palace with the jug, and it was knocked over by a palace maid running towards me just at Peony Garden, and the jug was broken into pieces. Look at me. My clothes are completely wet with the wine smell."Gu Yunxi turned to Noble Concubine Hui with a faint smile and then looked at Xiuyu again, "Can you recognize that maid?"Xiuyu pouted. Lord Lei took a step forward and lowered his hands, "Your Grace, I was behind Xiuyu at the time, and I recognized the maid. She’s Zhiqiao from Jieyu Zhao's palace."Noble Concubine Hui suddenly took a step backwards. She was surprised when she heard it and said impatiently, "Well. I see. It’s Jieyu Zhao!"Gu Yunxi chuckled and shook her hea
The night was dark, and pairs of sharp eyes hid in the streets and alleys of Jing City of Da Yi, alert to the surrounding movements like falcons.They were the secret guards of the spy agency the Eastern Depot and the Court of Patrol of North Town. They were ordered by the Emperor to patrol the streets on the eve of the entry of the Ying State’s envoy from the East Island day and night. It was their duty to clean up the rebels who wanted to take this opportunity to harm the court.That night, among these hunderdors and guards from the Eastern Depot, Imperial Guards from the Court of Patrol of North Town as well as eunuchs from the Imperial Ceremony Office, more than 200 people all seemed to vanish on the same night, but their bodies weren’t found.What was even more incredible was that on the very night, a mysterious waterwheel team of 100 people went to the eastern suburbs instead of going to the western suburbs to fetch water.
Terra Nova's ninth year of the Daedalic Years, early spring.Kamakawa Yusui is shocked and annoyed when he receives news of a coup at the Imperial Palace and the imminent ascension of Prince Fuchi Yasutaka to the throne as the next Emperor.Since the Kunhuang Island and Huananhe lost a battle, Kamachi sailors suffered a heavy blow, Kamakawa was forced to take the remaining troops retreated to the south of Kunhuang Island, Tsuneoshima stationed.Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to avoid the previous shame and had been intensifying the study of the new combat program, the country had a great turnaround.Can't think too much, Kamakawa by water immediately point all 10,000 Ying army, lead five Anzai ship and a number of ships, with enough artillery Furlong machine fire speed back to Ying, swore to fight with and Shigeru cuts a high and low winners and losers.One night, as Kamakawa's fleet secretly approached Mizumura Harbor in Kyoto, a thick fog sudde
In the banquet hall of the palace, the fire and candles were bright, four dancing girls lined up, green silk buns, colorful makeup, silk sleeves fluttering and swaying, dancing in a slow and rhythmic dance.Two or three male musicians are not far from them, playing strings, flute, drums, each person's face is calm and solemn, but in the eyes of God duh, seems to have the essence of the aura of a hidden flash.The dinner was organized to celebrate the fifteenth birthday of Emperor Fuchi Masaharu, but due to the defeat of the Terra Nova army in Weihai, many of the entertainments were temporarily canceled, and only the traditional Yehime songs and dances were retained.Profound Ya Qing was the main character of tonight's banquet, at this time he was wearing brand new scarlet damask silk clothes kneeling above the chief belonging to him, looking quiet and enjoying the songs and dances.On the seats to his left were the former Emperor's side consort, Daiji, with h
Terra Nova, Kyoto.As night falls, in a short house in the civilian area, the blind man is anxiously waiting for his mother-in-law to return home from work.She hadn't been back for a day and a night, and that definitely hadn't happened in the past.Could it be that the Ninth Princess has encountered something on her end?Rustling footsteps stopped unexpectedly at the door.The blind man's sense of hearing is much more sensitive than normal people, his eyebrows slightly gathered, and without moving, he got up and lightly rubbed his steps to the wooden cabinet, and touched a sharp dagger from the top of the cabinet and quietly hid it in the sleeve of his coat.The door of the room opened, and by the sound of the footsteps coming in there should be two of them."You're Suigo Show's man, aren't you?"The one who asked the question in Terra Nova was a young man.The blind man turned his head sideways, carefully recognizing the source
A cold wind cut through the long, narrow corridor, and the lights flickered dimly.The man's ragged gasps continued to spill out of the closed wooden lattice barricade door, accompanied by the occasional few hushed cries of pain from the woman."Haru, come on, I'll accompany you to your room."Looking at Yuan Ya Qing's stagnant and godless clear face, Yun Shi's heart seized more than just pain as she tugged on one of his arms.The commotion in the room was in no way suitable for a teenager to be listening in.The teenager's eyes were lax as he took two steps with her, speaking quietly in Chinese: ."...Master, you have to trust me as well...it wasn't Mother and I's idea to march into Da Yi."Yun Shi suddenly became miserable inside, opened and closed his nose and said."I believed you, never had a doubt, and it was for that reason that I traveled across the river and across the sea to meet you in person in Terra Nova."The two co
"Yue Xilou, you traitor shall not die!"Qi and blood surged, and a strong hatred that had never been felt before invaded Yun Shi's consciousness.She jumped up with her eyes heavy with red and lunged at her enemy with all her might, reaching for his neck.Yue Xilou laughed scornfully and kicked her backwards with a flying leg.Yun Shi fell out onto the hard floor a few feet away, choking on blood and letting out a pained _groan_.Wamochi stretched his neck to look at it, grinning imploringly.Tsukishiro looks at the samurai on either side :)"Don't just stand there, take her down and keep her under good guard, she'll be of great use in the future.""Slow down ......"Yun Shi forced to endure the pain of bones about to break trembling climbed up, far away from looking at the abyss Ya Qing, the expression of desolate:"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, please send the counselor."Empress Yuanya immediately s
The fact that the mute applicant, Yun, who was originally scrubbed out of the test, has been recognized by the Emperor as the Imperial Chef, shocks the entire Grand Cookhouse early the next morning.The cooks and handymen who had looked down on her earlier were now gathered in front of the stove in the cooking room, watching intently as she operated it herself.Even in the past days always rigid board a big white face of apricot leaf female master, this time all people before and after chasing after Yun Shi everywhere running, flattery, mouth like a river, all do their best to please. At sunrise, Yunshi was wearing a green coat and pants, put on a large apron to the stove to do the work.With white flour rolled out and crabmeat and shrimp mince and red fish roe in the filling, the meat buns are pinched out with absolutely thirty-three folds.Chicken breast, corn and green beans are sauteed in oil, thickened with soy sauce and pan-fried wine, and wrapped in so
He is, after all, the Emperor!Following the direction of Master Apricot Leaf's kneeling, Yun Shi looked at the teenager, his eyes filled with astonishment.The standing tasseled crown and the yellow coat are indeed the symbols of the imperial nobility of Terra Nova.But, this young man, he is actually the Emperor."Mute, why don't you kneel down!"The apricot leaf matron raised her eyes to the unresponsive Gu Yunshi and chided."Eh, forget it, forget it ...... Master Chief, you get up too."Meeting Yun Shi's eyes, the teenager's face flushed red and blushed as he explained: ."Granny, I don't mean to deceive you ...... I, I didn't eat well in the evening meal, and I was really hungry just now."Yun Shi's complexion returned to normal, pursed her lips and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.Heh, how could she mind?She was begging for it!The hostess rises obsequiously and comes up to nod at the tee
The night fell slowly, blotting out the last rays of red light in the sky.The entire Western Garden was silent.Cloudseeker stood in the tiny compound under the endless sky, raising his head to look up at the dark inky colors of the night sky.In the field of vision, that heavy darkness seems to carry some kind of adsorption magic, only teaching people to look at a glance, want to look through.She failed the test to become a chef and lost her chance to enter the palace and meet the Emperor.Such a result directly disrupted all her latter plans.After losing her temper for a while, she thought of Hua Nanhe, who is still fighting in the battlefield, Yingyu, who is trapped in the palace of Dayi, and brother Mu Xiu, who is waiting for them to return home.Yun Shi's eyes burned as she quickly regained her fighting spirit.Now is not the time to be discouraged, since one way does not work, then find another way.The hour was already
Terra Nova, outside the Abyssinian Palace, West Court.The large cooking room was busy with players in white shirts and blue pants around wooden cases and stoves.In five days, Emperor Fuchiya's fifteenth birthday will be celebrated, and not only will there be a large-scale celebration dinner at the palace, but an all-day parade and festival will be organized throughout Kyoto."Faster, faster, the hour for the king to pass the meal is almost here, and later on your handmade delicacies will be the basis for whether or not you can stay as a loose cook."The woman in charge, Apricot Leaf, is in her thirties, with a purple shirt and pants, wandering around every corner of the cooking room with a stern look, urging the contestants with her mouth, and repeatedly scrutinizing their cooking techniques with her cold and warm gaze.The twenty casual chef applicants came from Terra Nova folk, both men and women, and most of their referrals were cooks and assistant
