The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

"Which new concubine was carried by the carriage that just passed by?" In the pavilion beside the lotus pond, the handsome and majestic man who was originally sipping tea and admiring the lotus put the cold tea in his hand on the stone table, retracted his gaze and turned to look at the lotus pond in front of him, and asked casually.

The eunuch chief Li Dezhong, who stood silently behind the handsome man in the emperor's daily clothes, bowed and answered respectfully without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the carriage that passed by before was Xu Xiaoyuan, who was assigned to Baoqing Palace. Her father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Because of her rank, she and the other two Xiaoyi and Xiaodi all entered the palace today."

This year is the first election after Emperor Ningcheng ascended the throne. There are many beautiful women entering the palace, and because of the high and low ranks of the initial titles, they are arranged in different palaces and different times of entering the palace. When each newly-appointed concubine enters the palace and what rules are followed, they are all polite and cannot be arbitrarily abolished.

Like Xu Qingtian, she was only a concubine of the sixth rank, so when Xu Qingning entered the palace in her place, she could only be taken directly into the palace by a carriage with two maids, and the gift she could bring with her was no more than two boxes. She was not the only one who entered the palace that day, there were also two other concubines of the sixth rank, Xiaoyi and Xiaodi.

Other concubines with higher initial titles were not only admitted to the palace in a dignified manner, but also brought a large number of dowries and personal maids. They were even specially selected on the day of entering the palace. There was no one else except her. She was truly in a state of glory. Although she still entered the palace as a concubine, she was not as respectable as before.

Xu Qingtian had an outstanding appearance and was favored by Emperor Ning Cheng during the selection, so she was selected. However, the Xu family was ordinary and not too outstanding, so she was only given the title of concubine of the sixth rank at the beginning, which was still a distance from the middle-rank concubine of the fourth rank.

"Oh, it's her." Emperor Ning Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he remembered what happened during the selection. He nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips. He said in a light voice, "Call her to sleep with you today."

Recalling the beauty he had just seen, Emperor Ning Cheng's eyes were once again filled with amazement. The previous scene had been deeply engraved in his heart, imprinted in his heart, and brought him a lot of throbbing.

In the breeze, the sky-blue curtain was gently lifted by the slender hands of the slender white, and the bright and dazzling sunlight of early summer poured down, shining on the perfect face without a trace of flaws, the snow-white skin and the flower-like appearance, the beauty was unparalleled, and the beauty was breathtaking. That beauty was so overbearing that it made people irresistible, and it also made his heart move.

Although the beauty was charming and moved his heart, Emperor Ning Cheng was a diligent emperor. It was a rare rest for him to drink tea and admire the lotus by the lotus pond after the court meeting. He did not intend to meet the beauty who moved his heart at this time, nor did he intend to disrupt his plan because of other things.

Throwing away the slightly cold tea cup, Emperor Ning Cheng stood up, walked out of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, walked along the stone railing across the pond outside the pavilion for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the clear and clear weather of early summer, he said in a light voice: "Go to the imperial study."

To this day, Emperor Ning Cheng has been on the throne for more than a year, because he ascended the throne in accordance with the will of the previous emperor, and there were no waves. In addition, he has extraordinary means and great talents. Now that the court is initially settled and the people's hearts are stable, he can be regarded as sitting firmly on the throne, but Emperor Ning Cheng still handles government affairs diligently every day, without a trace of fatigue and relaxation.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Dezhong bowed and replied. The imperial chariot that the emperor rode on had already stopped outside the lotus pond and was waiting. As the eunuch chief steward who served Emperor Ning Cheng personally, Li Dezhong had already done his best in observing the emperor's words and expressions. He had made arrangements long before Emperor Ning Cheng opened his mouth.

After getting on the chariot, Emperor Ning Cheng closed his eyes and rested. His handsome eyebrows were relaxed and peaceful at this time. Those worries and solemnity seemed to have dissipated. I just don't know whether he relaxed for the rare rest or for the beauty that he caught a glimpse of.

On this side, the carriage carrying Xuanyuan and others drove in the harem for a cup of tea and finally arrived at the destination, Baoqing Palace. Baoqing Palace is one of the main palaces in the palace. It is located in the East Six Palaces, not far from the bedroom of Emperor Ning Cheng, Chenyu Palace. It is a palace with a very good geographical location. This also shows how the status of Concubine Xian is in the palace.

After getting off the carriage, Xuanyuan and the two maids brought by the Xu family came to the side hall of Baoqing Palace under the guidance of a eunuch in the palace. The rough eunuchs helped to move the two boxes they brought into the palace into the side hall, waiting for the palace maids to put them away later.

In the fairly spacious main hall of the side hall, Xuanyuan sat at the top with a cold and indifferent expression, holding a cup of tea in his hand. In the misty tea fragrance, his eyes fell indifferently on the palace maids and eunuchs standing in the hall.

In addition to the two maids brought in by Xu Qingning, as a concubine of the sixth rank, this side hall was also assigned four eunuchs and two palace maids. As for the rough eunuchs in the yard, they were not counted in the configuration of each palace. It was okay to let them do some rough work, but it was difficult to really use them.

Bai Zhi, who followed Xu's house into the palace, glanced at the second young master with a slightly worried look, a little worried that he didn't know how to suppress these people in the palace at this time. Although the second young master was not the eldest son and did not receive the education of the eldest son of the family, he was a young master after all, not a girl in the backyard!

I'm afraid the young master doesn't know about this kind of boudoir. Bai Zhi was anxious at first, then she thought of something and sighed again. Well, the second young master was originally a temporary replacement for the young lady in the palace. He would replace them as soon as the young lady was found. Before the young lady was found, it would be better for the young master to keep a low profile in the palace.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t suppress these eunuchs and palace maids, just send them outside and don’t let them handle confidential matters. Anyway, you don’t expect to use these people, so it doesn’t matter whether you can subdue them or not.

Bai Zhi figured this out, and she didn’t worry that the young master didn’t seem to know how to subdue these palace maids and eunuchs. Instead, she knelt down and saluted, reminding and negotiating: "Young...Miss, no, Master, now that you have entered the palace, do you want to go to the side hall of Baoqing Palace to pay homage to the main seat, the virtuous concubine?"

In theory, the new concubines in the palace should naturally pay homage to the main seat, but Bai Zhi actually disagreed with the young master going to see the virtuous concubine. She wished that the young master would stay in the side hall from now on and not go out, and the people in the palace would better forget about them.

But the more you have to be low-key and cautious, the more you can't do things that violate the palace rules. Otherwise, you think you are being low-key, but in fact you have already violated the palace rules. I don't know how many people's attention you have attracted. This is counterproductive and not good.

"Oh?" Xuan Yuan, who was sitting at the top, put down the teacup in his hand. The elegant porcelain made a crisp sound when it was placed on the wooden table. He slightly raised his eyebrows, and the dark light flowed in his sparkling eyes, escaping a bit of coldness. Xuan Yuan dragged out his tone, "You want me to go and see her?"

He didn't look angry, and his tone was indifferent and calm, but it gave people a sense of oppression and stagnation of impending storms, which made Bai Zhi dare not say much. She hurriedly lowered her head and sighed in her heart that the young master was a young master after all, and his power was not comparable to that of the young lady. Alas, with the temperament of the young master, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cover it up.

Xuan Yuan was not really angry, but just a little surprised and disdainful. What kind of role was Concubine Xian? Was she worth meeting? The mission in this world was just to choose the lesser of two evils. Xuan Yuan did not really want to fulfill the original owner's wish, and he could afford the price of completing this mission.

It was just that the original owner was indeed implicated and quite innocent. Xuan Yuan had no ill will towards him. If possible, it would be okay to fulfill his wish for him - but this did not mean that Xuan Yuan would compromise in order to fulfill the original owner's wish and complete this mission. Let him meet Concubine Xian? Is she qualified?

His eyes lightly swept over Bai Zhi, and Xuan Yuan directly ordered: "You and Zi Su cleaned up this place, and you will be responsible for the big and small things in this side hall." After saying this, Xuan Yuan got up and went into the inner room, acting as a complete hands-off shopkeeper.

In fact, it is very simple to complete the original owner's task. As long as Emperor Ning Cheng can be dealt with, the Xu family will naturally not pay too much for this crime of deceiving the emperor. And to deal with Emperor Ning Cheng, it is even easier for Xuanyuan, just an illusion.

But Xuanyuan does not intend to complete this task so easily. Of course, he does not want to toss anything, but just wants to do something to make Xu Qingtian and Xu's mother taste the pain and pay the price. Don't think that you don't have to pay the price if you are pitting your own son and brother, and you can get the benefits as a matter of course if you are a blood relative. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Xuanyuan will protect the Xu family, but Xu Qingtian and Xu's mother can't think of getting happiness by relying on the original owner. The original owner paid the price of his soul, so he must feel smooth everywhere.

Didn't Xu Qingtian run away from marriage? He insisted that she had no way out in the martial arts world and could only come back in disgrace. Moreover, there was no place for her in the Xu Mansion. He made her lose all her support and see if she was still so brave. Didn't Xu's mother love her daughter and didn't want to report her death and had to bring her back to the palace? Then let her get along well with her good daughter.

After Xuanyuan entered the inner hall, Baizhi and Zisu looked at each other for a long time, and finally said, "Let's put away the things we brought into the palace first, and then report to the virtuous concubine." Although there was a hint of delay, they really had no good way. If the young master didn't want to pay homage to the virtuous concubine, could they, as maids, force him to do it?

No matter how anxious Baizhi and Zisu were, they didn't leak a bit to let the other palace people who were assigned to this side hall know. They had just put away the furnishings in the side hall and the gifts they brought into the palace, and were having a headache about how to report to the virtuous concubine, but a group of eunuchs came to announce the decree, saying that His Majesty had ordered their master Xu Xiaoyuan to sleep with him tonight.

Baizhi and Shisu were both shocked!
