About ten miles north of Nanlin Garden, there is a camp beside an osmanthus forest.
The camp is really composed of five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry. It is heavily guarded. The Royal Guards Yulin Battalion, armed to the teeth with armor, is patrolling around the camp. It can be said that even a fly can hardly fly in.
Tents of all sizes gathered in the camp, with palace maids, attendants, and eunuchs coming and going, all cautious and cautious. The sound of the huge camp was not noisy, just like the sweet-scented osmanthus forest next to it, full of tranquility.
In the center of the camp, the most heavily guarded place, is an extremely spacious and gorgeous large tent. Like the mother of all tents, it is surrounded by small tents.
The big tent was surrounded by armored warriors. At the entrance, in addition to two tall guards, there were also two eunuchs with whisks.
Suddenly, a horse galloped from a distance. The rider on the horse was dressed in black and even wore a bamboo hat to hide his face under the bamboo hat.
The horse galloped to the main gate of the camp, and a eunuch quickly greeted him. The rider dismounted and took out a short piece of bamboo from his arms. It was green and beautiful. He presented it to the eunuch respectfully, and then got on the horse again.
Like a gust of wind, it comes and goes without a trace.
The eunuch held the bamboo in his hands, half-bent, and walked quickly to the big tent. A eunuch in front of the tent took the bamboo again, turned and walked to the tent, and whispered in a sharp voice: "The bamboo is here!"
Not long after, a withered old arm stretched out from the gap in the tent, with five fingers spread out like eagle claws. The eunuch hurriedly placed the green bamboo gently in the palm of his hand.
…
…
The old and shriveled hands had protruding veins, like countless roads criss-crossing into the underworld. The owner of the hand was an old eunuch in brocade clothes. The wrinkles on his face were like traces left by the years. And these traces
There seems to be no trace of joy or pleasure in the middle.
Sandalwood overflowed in the tent, green smoke curled up from the incense burner, and the furnishings were simple but magnificent. The floor was covered with high-quality carpets traded from far away countries, and the carpet extended to the edge of the soft couch.
On the soft couch, a noble lady reclined lazily on a jade pillow. It was crystal clear and had a wonderful shape. No matter how beautiful the jade pillow was, it seemed that it could not compare with its owner.
Wearing light white palace clothes, the black bun is smooth and loose, and there is a hint of tiredness in the autumn-like eyes, and the charm in her bones is only slightly revealed from the depths of her eyes.
The clothes on her shoulders slipped slightly, revealing a small piece of skin that was as white as snow but as clear as crystal. Under the straight pink nose bridge, there was a pair of small and red lips, exuding boundless charm and temptation.
No one can really tell her age, that mature and charming style can only be possessed by a woman in her forties, and her body is by no means older than that of a twenty-three or four-year-old girl, and is even more tender and attractive.
.
The pair of watery eyes that were about to overflow slightly raised, and said softly like the sound of nature: "It doesn't seem to be good news!"
The old eunuch's old hands pinched it very flexibly, and the green bamboo suddenly split open. The strength of his hand was amazing. He dexterously took out a very small piece of paper from it and presented it to it.
The noble lady stretched out her weak, boneless pink hands, picked up the piece of paper between her two fingers, looked at it before her eyes, and then handed it back to the old eunuch with a sneer on her lips.
The old eunuch put the piece of paper in his hand, spread it out, and moved it slightly. The piece of paper started to burn, and it burned to ashes in his withered hand. He didn't even move, waiting for the piece of paper to burn.
After it turned into ashes, he put the dust into his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach.
This is really a monster-like old eunuch!
"He still let people in." The lady said lazily, with a hint of coldness in her voice.
The old eunuch did not speak, but stood respectfully beside him, listening to his master's words.
"The Privy Council finally has someone from him." The lady shook her head slightly: "I'm so restless. I really want to know who is behind him."
The old eunuch finally said in a hoarse voice: "Although General Sha is old, his mind is still very clear."
The lady smiled faintly and sighed: "Since he can let people enter the Privy Council, if he wants to do something to hide from the old general, it is not difficult, at least for him, it is indeed not difficult."
The old eunuch asked like a compliment: "What are you going to do, Master?"
"What are you going to do?" The noble lady chuckled, looked at the old eunuch and said, "Eunuch Qin, you know that when a clown wants to sing, we always have to wait until he appears. These are just tricks before the show. We
Of course I won’t smash bricks, let alone cheer.”
The old eunuch seemed to understand something and nodded slightly.
"Thankfully, you are here, otherwise I really didn't know that he could even infiltrate the Privy Council." The lady's autumn-like eyes were filled with tiredness, and she said softly: "Now he has his hands on several vital points.
Man, I want to see what he's going to sing next."
"It's bound to happen." Eunuch Qin's eyes seemed to have only a slit left, but through this slit, he had seen so much that he even forgot what else he knew now.
"I heard that the second brother has recruited another group of people?" The noble lady moved her body, like a blooming begonia, as colorful as a flower.
Although Eunuch Qin always maintained a humble attitude, when asked, he was like an encyclopedia and quickly gave the answer: "Yes, six people were admitted this time."
"What nonsense." The noble lady frowned slightly: "He is getting taller and more arrogant now. Doesn't he know that there are many pairs of eyes staring at him?"
There was silence for a long time before Eunuch Qin slowly said: "The second prince should have his own ideas."
The noble lady then showed a charming smile: "Even you said he has a way, and I think he really has a way. However, the group of people under him are a mixed bag. Although it won't cause any big troubles, small troubles will sooner or later.
Yes, you should also secretly send someone to pay attention."
Eunuch Qin nodded.
The two of them chatted as if they were talking about everyday things, talking about some topics that would be shocking to outsiders.
This kind of family chat didn't last long. The tent door was opened and the princess had already come in with a smile. She ran straight to the lady, hugged her and said with a smile: "Mom, I picked up a master today!
"
The noble lady hugged the princess lovingly and said softly: "What kind of master did you pick up? You are so beautiful. I haven't seen you so happy for a long time." As she spoke, she gently waved her right fingertips,
Eunuch Qin quietly retreated without any movement.
The princess stood up and gestured: "A master of archery can shoot through the pink scarf at a distance of three hundred steps, and the pink scarf is still hanging on the tree and has not been taken away. Do you think he is awesome or not?"
"It's amazing." The lady said with a loving smile, "This is such a good master, why did you pick him up?"
Although they are mother and daughter, the lady is really no older than the princess. She has the same white and tender skin, the same bright eyes and white teeth. Her skin is even more supple than the princess, and her eyes are more seductive than the princess.
Even her appearance is much better than that of the princess, just like a pair of sisters.
The princess' face was slightly red, and she recounted the story with some embarrassment.
"Xue Shitou?" the noble lady said softly, as if she wanted to remember the name in her mind, and said softly: "This name is quite strange."
"The name is strange, but he is a good archer. I asked him to serve as an official, but he was not willing to do it." The princess sighed and shook her head: "He also said that the world is peaceful and that being a soldier is useless, but the world is really
Peace?"
The noble lady smiled and said: "It seems that he is still a very interesting person. Then mother, congratulations on having a good master."
The princess was a little disappointed and said: "But they seem to be going to Kyoto to buy antiques, so they can't concentrate on teaching me. They can only teach me on the way to Beijing, which only lasts one day."
"Oh!" The lady pressed her fingers gently on her temples and said calmly: "If you want him to teach you all your life, it's just a matter of one sentence."
"But... But father said that we can't force others to do things they don't want to do just because we have power, let alone bully ordinary people because of our status." The princess was confused: "If we force Xue Shitou to stay in
In the house, I’m afraid my father will blame me.”
The lady sighed: "Your father is a coward. Don't listen to him in everything."
"But I think what my father said always makes sense."
"Then you mean that what your mother said doesn't make sense?" the lady pretended to be angry: "You are so partial to your father?"
The princess smiled, hugged the noble lady, and acted coquettishly like a child. She said in a disgusting voice: "Mother, you know that I listen to you and love you the most. Do you still want to be jealous of your father?"
When the princess acted coquettishly, the noble lady hugged her with a wry smile and said softly: "Silly girl, how can mother be jealous? As long as you are good, mother is willing to give up anything."
The princess laughed and looked very happy.
"In this way, we don't have to keep him for the rest of his life. After he has taught you three or two months and you have learned the art of archery, we will let him go. Then we will replenish his losses. Do you agree?" the lady pinched.
He touched the princess's small nose and said lovingly.
The princess was overjoyed at first, but soon she looked worried. The noble lady seemed to have penetrated his heart and said softly: "I'll ask someone to tell you. You don't have to come forward. In short, I want you to learn archery so that you can hunt and shoot game in the future."
Honor your mother, do you agree?"
"Okay!" The princess happily grabbed her pink fist.dd
