Chapter Sixteen (13)

Zhenying was angry. She thought that she had eavesdropped under the window and said "Martial Arts Leader Li Yijie" and was not a lie. Then she thought: "Shen Shiyun is talking nonsense. The truth cannot be decided by her." She pretended to smile and said: "Yes, my sister has really made some hard work to negotiate a settlement, and she had a lot of fun. Alliance Leader Li accepted the persuasion to surrender, and will be our good friend of the Qing Dynasty in the future. I just saw him in your room, why didn't I invite him to pay homage to the emperor?"

Shen Shiyun said: "Since the agreement has been reached, it is inconvenient for too many outsiders to enter the palace. The palace and Li have not seen each other for many days. I think it was my sister who misread it." Zhenying sneered: "My palace maids and eunuchs will misread it. Could it be that I have seen it with my own eyes? If I misread it again, would I misread it again and again? We are guarding outside your palace day and night, and we can't see you two, and I don't know how many times have we seen it."

Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "It's so simple that my sister is not willing to come in every day. But since she has arrived, why don't you come in and sit in and be willing to blow the cold wind outside?" Zhenying sneered, "It's not good to blow the cold wind. At least it won't be like some people: the internal fire is strong and the liver and lungs are dry and hot! You said that you and Hu Wei are the only ones in the room, and who else can prove it except him?" She was furious, regardless of whether this was logical. Shen Shiyun was still calm in the face of changes and said leisurely: "If sister doesn't believe it, please go in and search."

Zhenying snorted coldly, "Do you think I dare not?" She walked straight towards the big bed. It was the place where she locked her eyes as soon as she entered the room. She had no time to worry about the imperial concubine's manners, so she bent down and looked around. Then she turned around and searched around the room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and even checked one by one in the cupboards that were impossible to hide. She stood on tiptoe and looked into a celadon vase. The bottle neck was slender and covered the light, and the bottom of the bottle was so dark that it could not be seen clearly.

Luo Jin played with the braid tips, looked at it leisurely, and smiled and said, "It's amazing. How clever bone shrinkage skills should you have to get into this vase? The leader of the martial arts world is worthy of it." Zhenying was sweating and covered in dust when she heard Luo Jin's sarcasm, and she rushed upwards. She burst into tears and shouted, "I understand, it turns out that you are the dead girl who is making trouble. You deliberately fight with Yinyin and make a noise to remind him to escape, right?"

Luo Jin smiled and said, "Empress Zhen, I am wronged. It is obvious that you Yinyin is indiscriminate. You rushed up to beat me first. I went out of self-defense and then fought back. Everyone is all slaves, and their identities are similar. You can't be considered as being the one below? Alas, these days, the world is getting worse. Those who are thieves are found and dare to beat people. If you don't set up some serious laws, you will be fine. It will not work."

Zhenying said angrily: "You showed Yinyin the earrings. She was stupid and she would definitely go crazy when she saw them. Isn't it all designed by you, the ghost girl?" Luo Jin smiled and said, "Yinyin's stupid mind is stupid, and this is no wonder I am a servant. You are willing to send a stupid person to do things for you, but I don't know if it's your representative." Zhenying was furious and didn't know how to keep talking, so she ignored her, walked to the side, gently wiped the window frame with her fingers, carefully felt whether it was a slight warmth, or wanted to see a footprint out of thin air.

Luo Jin interrupted and said, "Don't look, Alliance Master Li has such high light skills, and he still needs to use the window frame to jump into a window? Besides, the Yinxue Palace has been surrounded by your people, even if he is lucky enough to go out, he will not be able to escape from the net of heaven and earth outside." Zhenying reminded her and said firmly: "Yes, he cannot escape. Since that's the case, he should still hide in this room, even among us!"

Luo Jin smiled and said, "Empress Zhen, are you trying to make a case? Do you want to tell the emperor and find an errand in the Ministry of Justice?" Zhenying pretended not to hear it, looked around, walked to Hu Wei, and frowned, "The more I look at you, the more suspicious you feel. Many times, people will be deceived by their eyes and ignore the most credible first intuition..."

Luo Jin smiled and said, "Do you want to say that Alliance Leader Li is proficient in disguise and pretends to be Hu Wei? Don't tell jokes, one is the supreme martial arts world, one is the ox-shoulder knee; one is the general leader, and the other is the minion; who would deliberately reduce his value? If Hu Wei pretends to be Alliance Leader Li, it is still a bit credible. If you want to say that Hu Wei is the new love of Concubine Yun, please compare it. The emperor is so talented and handsome.

Pianpian, just sit and drink tea. When you look at Hu Wei's deer-headed and mouse-eyed eyes, you have to squat and wipe the floor. If it were you, wouldn't you love the emperor, but instead choose him?" She spoke with a tactful and ups and downs, just like singing opera lyrics. Zhenying said unhappily: "That's hard to say. Maybe someone has a special taste and likes him... No matter how ugly a man looks like, he can always marry a wife."

Hu Wei bowed and said, "Thank you for your wrong love. I really don't dare to take it. You are the emperor's concubine. If you have a thought, it is also a blasphemy." Fulin laughed and said, "It's the tremendous, it's the tremendous! Hu Wei, I admire you more and more! I want any rewards, just mention it!"

Hu Wei smiled and said, "I am loyal to the emperor and dare not ask for any rewards. I just want you to walk around Yinxue Palace so that I can teach me and Luo Jin to feel the greatness of the emperor's grace. We two ordinary people are shining with the holy light and have the hope of being reborn." Fu Lin smiled and said, "I can see at a glance that you are trying to see Concubine Yun. This is a bit of a genius that must be hidden from me."

Zhenying saw these people happy and felt as if they were as close as a family. There seemed to be a fire on her chest that was about to burn open. Hu Wei accompanied Fulin to joke, quietly retreated to the side, and made a gesture to Zhenying, leading her to the corner, and whispered: "It's not that you are humble and talkative, the Empress is not suitable for determining the case. Just now, Miss Jin gave you such an important reminder, but you are still indifferent. Alas, it's a pity, a pity!" Zhenying was confused and said: "What a pity? What... you... said?"

Hu Wei smiled mysteriously and said, "You have never heard of the face-changing technique that is popular in Sichuan, Sichuan and other places? Let the servants perform the most exciting face-changing method for you." As he said that, he turned slightly, raised his palm and wiped it quickly on his face, and his facial features suddenly turned into Li Yijie's appearance. Zhenying was stunned. Hu Wei didn't wait for her to react, and her hand turned to another stroke, and her appearance returned to her original state. This time, Zhenying saw clearly that he had pinched a thin piece of skin on his hand, which was exactly Li Yijie's face.

Hu Wei smiled and said, "Empress Yun Fei always scolded me for 'The rotten wood cannot be carved'. Today, there are finally some successors. Listen to my explanation to you. The one who came to drink tea and play chess at the beginning was indeed the leader of Li. We have given him the opportunity to enjoy a happy life many times to satisfy your eyes. But this kid is too upright and has no big moves, and he can really stand it. If you want to put all your hope on him, you will have to wait for a lot of beards. In a helpless way, you have to use him as a model to make this small prop, just to make a smile and not be able to enter the hall of elegance."

Zhenying cried out in disbelief: "Human skin mask! You..." It seemed like a gap was opened in her heart, and a faint light shone in. Hu Wei pressed her hand down, signaling a low voice, and laughed: "Empress Zhen, I advise you not to speak out. We are just enjoying ourselves in the palace, and it is not a sin. You must think clearly that once the emperor is intrigued, he will invite people to perform in the palace all day long, and there are strange masks everywhere, which is not comfortable to see. If you are not satisfied, you can turn into the emperor's position and take care of you more."

Zhenying said angrily, "You dare!" She reached out and wanted to take the mask. Hu Wei shrank, and led her to shake it around in the air, raised her hand and threw it into a wooden barrel beside her. The bucket was filled with most of the sewage, which was used as a cleaning cloth when wiping dust. Zhenying inserted her hands into the bucket, touched her everywhere, stirring the sewage to overflow a lot.

Although Zhenying was silent and stopped halfway, but the two words on the other end were so loud that they were still clearly heard in Fulin's ears. Fulin frowned secretly and said to himself: "A woman who is full of skinning, her character can be imagined!" She was disappointed with Zhenying, and saw that she wet a large area of ​​the carpet of Yinxue Palace, and couldn't help but scold, "Enough, Concubine Zhen, don't go too far!"

Hu Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame Empress Zhen. She wanted to help her slave wash the rag. Unexpectedly, if you accidentally do not hold on, the rag will sink into the water and are now fishing. The Empress has never done these rough work and lacks experience, which is worth understanding."

Zhenying glared at Hu Wei fiercely, and when Fulin turned his gaze away, he immediately lowered his voice and said viciously: "You dead servant, don't be arrogant in front of me, I am not easy to bully!" He turned his head and ordered: "Yinyin, if someone is forced to this point, it's really unreasonable to not pay attention to etiquette and exchanges. Come on our 'winning magic weapon'!"

Yin Yin hesitated and said stutteringly: "Empress, do you really want that..." Zhenying scolded: "Nonsense, did I tell you fake? Why don't you go quickly!" Yinyin had to lower her head and respond, "Yes." Zhenying sneered at Hu Wei again: "You have exquisite props, can I not?" Hu Wei waved his hand casually and said with a relaxed expression: "Let's wait and see."

After waiting for a while, Yin Yin walked over with a golden box. Hu Wei exaggeratedly: "Wow, it's so expensive! Why did the Empress give this gift?" When Yin Yin presented her hands, she was still very timid, and she stretched out her arms halfway. Zhenying was extremely impatient, snatched her hands and walked to the edge of the bed with her head raised and her chest raised. She just heard Fulin say: "Yun'er, this time I painted the Queen Mother's birthday, and you have made great contributions. I have long wanted to give you some gifts, just in the name of reward, do you have anything you particularly want?"

Shen Shiyun said: "The emperor loved me very much. I have everything in the snow palace, and I don't lack anything. As long as I can narrow the distance between me and the empress dowager, I will be very happy. Besides, hasn't she already given me?" Fulin said: "What the empress dowager gave you can only be regarded as a reward, but I want you to accept some gifts as my woman, and the meanings are completely different."

Zhenying couldn't help but sneer and said, "Sister Yunfei is not short of gifts. She is a woman. Look, what is this?" She suddenly opened the lid of the box, revealing a silver box inside. She lifted the lid and took out a jade square box. When she opened the box, she saw a golden handkerchief with green diamonds wrapped in it, as if it was very steadily wrapped. Zhenying took off the brocade handkerchief and flipped the box, and saw a small puppet rolling out of the box, sneering: "The gift is light and the affection is heavy, and the care is really thoughtful!"

Shen Shiyun's face was not surprised at all, so she just picked up the puppet and gently stroked the wooden surface with her fingers. The puppet had long hair around her shoulders, a slender figure, a clear outline of the wrinkles in the dress, and a delicate and beautiful character portrayed, the charm between the eyebrows and eyes, and the smile at the corners of her lips were like Shen Shiyun's miniature wood carvings.

Zhenying was full of sarcasm and thought she was just watching the excitement. It was not until now that she realized something was wrong in a certain link. She was so anxious that she snatched the puppet from Shen Shiyun and shouted incoherently: "How could this be this... how is it possible? Where is the other one? Where did you go?" She pushed the puppet in her hand, trying to find something from the puppet, and twisted its head, as if she wanted to change it.
