Chapter 22: Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing 2
The sky was very gloomy, just like the atmosphere in the carriage was so oppressive that it made people breathless. After coming out of the palace, the two of them had been silent like this. Qin Wan'er felt dizzy. Looking out through the curtain, there was no trace of anyone on the street.
I was suspicious, where on earth was this demon taking me?
"Here you go" Murong Xiao took out a red blood jade from his waist, which was beautifully carved with dragons and phoenixes.
Qin Wan'er was shocked. Not to mention the natural beauty of this beautiful jade, the carving skills alone made it clear that it was a priceless treasure. Is this demon prince crazy? He gave himself such an expensive gift. Or is he still having a fever today? Or, hehe,
Falling in love with myself
"Don't you want it?" Murong Xiao looked at the emotional fluctuations on the woman's face and immediately guessed what was going on in her mind. "Then I take it back."
"No, no," Qin Wan'er chuckled, regardless of her intentions. This beautiful jade is priceless, but it's worth a lot of money. "Thank you, I deserve it."
Murong Xiao smiled lightly, watching Qin Wan'er put the piece of blood jade in her arms gently, but there was a hint of depression on her face. Many years later, every time Murong Xiao thought of this piece of blood jade, she felt something in her heart that could not be concealed for the rest of her life.
Regret, the throne, and love are destined to be difficult to have at the same time
After arriving at the destination, I found that it was surrounded by high red walls, with guards patrolling back and forth one after another. The eaves and corners of tall buildings, pavilions and pavilions all reflected the majestic power of the royal family.
After getting off the carriage, several more eunuchs came over to guide me.
Qin Wan'er saw that Murong Xiao, who had been joking and uninhibited just now, now had a serious face and was extremely respectful, so she also treated her with a serious face and did not dare to neglect him.
"Your Majesty, come quickly." The woman's shy voice made even Qin Waner, who was also a woman, unable to help but get goosebumps.
"Your Majesty, I'm here"
While still outside the hall, she heard the voices inside from a distance. Qin Wan'er thought to herself, it is rumored that the current Holy Emperor Murong Shun, Emperor Qi Wu, is a veteran of wandering around flowers and has countless concubines. Judging from the voices heard, it is indeed the same as the rumors.
"Your Majesty, it is inconvenient for the slaves to come in. Please invite me." The young eunuch bowed and made a gesture of invitation. Without waiting for Murong Xiao to agree, he turned around and left.
From this point of view, although Murong Xiao is nominally the vassal king, he is not valued by the emperor. Otherwise, a small eunuch would not be so rude, Qin Wan'er said secretly. However, she followed Murong Xiao into the main hall, but
surprised
There are more than a dozen women in this hall, all covered with light gauze. There is a pool in the center of the hall, filled with fine wine, and transplanted trees with meat slices hanging on them. There are also silk and bamboo strings winding around the beams, and the lingering sound is endless.
It’s the legendary wine pond and meat forest. It’s really eye-opening and makes this life worthwhile.
"My younger brother, Murong Xiao, pays homage to the Emperor." Murong Xiao gave a big salute and knelt down respectfully. When Qin Wan'er saw this, she did not dare to neglect, and knelt down behind Murong Xiao.
The emperor turned a deaf ear, and was lingering between the beds with several women, moaning coquettishly and breathing heavily. The whole hall looked springy, with an ambiguous decadence.
Qin Wan'er couldn't help but blushed in embarrassment and lowered her head slightly. She was shy. This emperor was even more lustful than the rumors said, and he actually built a wine pool and meat forest. It was really unbelievable.
