Chapter 22 Harem Qunfang
After finally making ice for the Queen's Yongning Palace, Lin Xiu was taken to Changchun Palace without having time to rest.
This is the residence of the imperial concubine. After entering Changchun Palace, Lin Xiu noticed that the eunuchs following him looked much nervous. Before coming in, General Manager Li repeatedly told him that he must be careful when speaking and doing things in Changchun Palace. If he angered the imperial concubine, no one could save him.
Lin Xiu stepped into the Changchun Palace Gate and saw a beautiful woman in the palace standing in the yard, holding an animal that looked like a cat or a non-cat in her arms.
The animal's hair is snow-white all over. It is said that it is not a cat, it does have a cat's body, it says it is a cat, and there is a pair of white and small wings behind it. This is the first time Lin Xiu has seen a cat with wings.
Lin Xiu was not particularly surprised by this. He already knew that the species in this world were different from the earth he knew.
In addition to humans, there are some other races in this world, including spirits, barbarians, seas, etc., and it is not surprising that some animals that are not on the earth appear.
The beautiful woman in the palace dress has outstanding appearance and a faint sense of nobility. She has a graceful figure and a charming chest, which makes people unable to help but want to replace the cat in her arms.
Such women are fatal to men's attraction.
Fortunately, Lin Xiu has seen countless storms and waves about women, and has not shown any abnormalities.
After General Manager Li walked in, he quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "I have met the Imperial Concubine."
The beautiful woman in the palace dress looked at him lightly, then looked at Lin Xiu again, and asked, "Who is he?"
Manager Li quickly explained: "Go back to the Imperial Concubine, he is a student of the Academic Arts Academy. His Majesty specially summoned him to the palace to make ice for all the ladies."
The beautiful woman in the palace gently stroked the fur of the spirit beast in her arms, and never looked at Lin Xiu again, saying, "Go, move faster. Nannan is afraid of seeing strangers. If she scares her, I will remove your head."
Manager Li said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, we will leave after making ice, and leave after making ice..."
This imperial concubine was obviously not a good person. Not only was General Manager Li and several eunuchs timid, but even the eunuchs in Changchun Palace looked trembling, doing things lightly, and not daring to make any sound when walking.
After finally finishing the ice, he came out of Changchun Palace. Including General Manager Li, several eunuchs wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads with lingering fear, as if they had survived the disaster.
There were countless emperors in the Daxia harem, among which there were five people with the most respected status, namely one queen and four concubines.
The queen was naturally the queen. She was the mother of a country, and she was the well-deserved leader of the harem.
Under the queen, there were four concubines, namely the Imperial Concubine, the Virtue, the Shu Concubine and the De Concubine, and then the Nine Concubines, Jie Concubine, the Talented Man, and the Beauty. Under the guidance of General Manager Li, Lin Xiu strictly followed the order of the rank of concubines in the harem, and came to the door of each palace.
The imperial concubine was followed by the virtuous concubine. The concubine didn't say anything except for walking out and taking a look, so Lin Xiu and the others completed the task smoothly.
After coming out of the Ningxia Palace of Concubine Xian, General Manager Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The master of Qianqiu Palace is very handsome and has never made things difficult for the palace ladies. You can rest assured."
Qianqiu Palace is the residence of Concubine Shu. According to General Manager Li, this Concubine Shu seems to have a good reputation in the harem.
Not long after, in Qianqiu Palace, Lin Xiu put one hand on the mold and the other hand wiped the sweat from his forehead. Using this method to make ice consumed too much energy. He could have insisted on making ice for fifty directions, but now he is probably not even half of it.
At most, when you go to another palace, the energy in his body will be exhausted.
Just as Lin Xiu gritted his teeth and insisted, a gust of fragrant wind suddenly came from beside him. A palace maid came over, holding an ice bowl in her hand, and there were more than a dozen peeled and crystal clear grapes in the ice bowl.
She looked at Lin Xiu with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, this is the reward from Concubine Shu."
Handing the ice bowl to Lin Xiu, she took light steps back again.
Lin Xiu looked at the grapes in the ice bowl and ate a few of them. When he turned around, he saw three eunuchs swallowing their saliva with difficulty, so he handed them the ice bowl and said with a smile: "Everyone will share the reward from Concubine Shu."
Only the nobles in the palace can enjoy it. Mr. Li swallowed and shook his head and said, "No, no, this is what the noble concubine rewarded Mr. Lin. We cannot eat..."
Lin Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's hard for a few father-in-law to run around with me. How can I eat alone..."
Seeing Lin Xiu so free and easy, General Manager Li did not insist, laughed twice and said, "Since that's the case, we will also follow Mr. Lin to get along with him..."
I don’t know what kind of grape is, it’s juicy, thick and seedless, and it’s very sweet. After the ice is chilled, I can’t help but eat one and it feels so refreshing. Lin Xiu put down the ice bowl and couldn’t help but say, “This grape is so delicious…”
General Manager Li smiled and said, "This is a tribute grape from the Western Regions. Even the Empress only divided two strings, and only Empress Shufei will reward us with this precious tribute."
Lin Xiu turned around and looked at the direction of the inner palace. Concubine Shu was really good at treating people. The owners of the three palaces he had been to had never even looked at him directly, let alone rewards.
There are rules for everything in the palace. If the Queen makes ten directions ice, the four concubines can only cut half of it. Lin Xiu has a good impression of the Queen of Concubine Shu and has made two more arrangements for Qianqiu Palace. General Manager Li did not say a word about this.
After sharing the reward from Concubine Shu, the distance between the few people was once again narrowed. After leaving Qianqiu Palace, General Manager Li gave Lin Xiu a look and reminded kindly: "Next, let's go to Ruidong Palace, which was originally the bedroom of Concubine De. After Concubine De died of illness a few years ago, only Princess Minghe lived there. After going there for a while, Master Lin remember not to talk nonsense, be careful to anger the princess."
Lin Xiu knew that when General Manager Li said this, it means that this Princess Minghe is not easy to provoke.
He nodded and said, "I get it."
When he stepped into Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu clearly noticed the difference between this place and the palaces in front of him.
There are many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace courtyard, and there are people busy everywhere, but there are only two figures in this Ruidong Palace.
A girl in a red dress sat on a swing under the sycamore tree, and a palace maid stood behind her.
General Manager Li walked into the courtyard and bowed and said, "See the princess, the slave is ordered by Your Majesty and bring people to make ice for Ruidong Palace."
The girl in red dress looked at him and said, "Rui Dong Palace doesn't need ice, go out."
"yes."
Manager Li responded and was about to take Li Mu out, when the voice of a girl in red dress suddenly came from behind him again.
"stop."
The girl in red dress looked back at the palace maid behind her, with a thoughtful expression, and then said, "Cai'er, take them to the well."
Although I don’t know why Princess Minghe regretted it again, General Manager Li honestly took Lin Xiu over and made enough ice for Ruidong Palace, and then bowed and said, “Princess, we have to go to other palaces, so let’s leave first…”
When he left with General Manager Li, Lin Xiu looked back.
The girl in red dress was actually looking at him, and the two of them had a gaze. For some reason, Lin Xiu suddenly felt a very uncomfortable feeling. It was clearly the first time he met, but he had the urge to fight with the girl in red dress.
At the same time, looking at Lin Xiu, the girl in the red dress also frowned in beautiful brows.
Next to the swing, the little palace maid noticed the strangeness of the girl in red dress and said curiously: "Princess, what's wrong?"
The girl in red dress asked, "Cai'er, don't you think that person just now was very annoying?"
"The princess is talking about the young master just now?"
"It's him."
The little palace maid shook her head and said, "No, that young man is very beautiful..."
The girl jumped off the swing and said, "But I just think he hates it, it's even more annoying than the prince. This ice is enough for you to use for a long time. Don't let him come tomorrow..."
After leaving Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu was still thinking about why he and Princess Minghe had first met, without any grudges, so why did he feel disgusted with her?
He turned to ask Mr. Li: "Princess Minghe has also awakened his extraordinary skills?"
Mr. Li nodded and said, "That's natural, the princess is talented and intelligent, and what she awakens is the power of fire."
Lin Xiu finally knew where his disgust for Princess Minghe came from. The most important force in his body was ice. Princess Minghe's ability is fire, one ice and the other fire. These are two completely opposite forces. How could the two of them look at each other?
When ice and fire meet, we can only see each other and get tired of each other, and we are not willing to stay for a moment.
Lingyin is Bing, Lin Xiu feels very comfortable with her, and is very happy both physically and mentally; Princess Minghe is Huo, Lin Xiu is annoyed when she sees her, and she must have felt the same as Lin Xiu.
There is a restraint relationship between the abilities of the magic. Some are unilateral restraints, while others are mutual restraints. Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe belong to the latter.
If someone awakens the Water Magic, then when the Yuanli is equal, he will never be Lin Xiu's opponent. If the match between Ice and Water is in the face of the match, the opponent will have to awaken at least once more than him.
As for the mutual restraint between ice and fire, who is better than the other, depends on who the two have deeper Yuanli. Princess Minghe is obviously much stronger than Lin Xiu. When Lin Xiu decides to come to the palace again in the future, try to avoid her.
