The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

In the past month, His Majesty, except for a few days when he was busy with government affairs and stayed alone in the Chenyu Palace without summoning concubines, he always visited Yimeixuan at other times. He was very fond of Jiapin, no, Jia Xiurong, who was now a third-rank official, and not only promoted her rank again and again, but also sent all kinds of treasures and rewards to Yimeixuan like water.

After entering the palace for more than a month, she was promoted directly from a sixth-rank Xiaoyuan to a third-rank Jia Xiurong. Such an astonishing promotion speed is really shocking. Even the previous dynasty had heard about it vaguely. They had "admired" Jia Xiurong for a long time and wanted to know who she was that made His Majesty so fond of her.

And many high-ranking officials from noble families in the previous dynasty were envious and jealous of the Xu family of the Shangshu Mansion where Jia Xiurong came from. Having such a favored daughter in the palace was a help even if His Majesty never blessed the officials in the court because of the affairs of the harem!

But how could these people with red eyes of envy have thought that for such honor and favor, the Xu family insiders were not happy at all, and they felt like walking on a thin layer of ice all day, as if they might fall off the ice at any time.

For the Xu family insiders, this month was an extremely tormenting month, not only because they did something deceiving the emperor by letting their son replace their twin sister to enter the palace, but also because this son who entered the palace was favored by the emperor and "favored" for more than a month.

Moreover, the people sent by the Xu family and the escorts they paid for have not yet found the whereabouts of Xu Qingtian. Although they seem to have found some clues recently, it is still a long way to bring Xu Qingtian back. The Xu family is also anxious, not knowing when they can switch the two back.

In fact, when they heard that His Majesty had summoned "Xu Qingtian" for several days in a row, Xu Bing and Old Lady Xu almost fainted, because His Majesty might discover Xu Qingning's true identity at any time and punish the entire Xu family at any time. At that time, it would not be surprising if their entire family was wiped out.

In the eyes of others, they have been glorious for more than a month, but only the Xu family knows how frightened and nervous they are. It is really... the point where their heads may fall off at any time!

Jia Xiurong's exclusive favor is extremely eye-catching in the palace, but it is eye-catching, and many concubines in the palace are secretly resentful, but no one can interfere with Jia Xiurong's exclusive favor, whether it is the front court or the harem, no one can restrict her exclusive favor.

The affairs of the harem were rarely discussed in the previous dynasty, let alone interfered. Even if the imperial envoy wanted to report it, there was nothing he could do - Jia Xiurong did not compete for favor, it was all His Majesty who was willing to go to her, how could he report it? Could it be that Jia Xiurong is a natural beauty?

The empress position in the harem is vacant, there is no one in charge, there is no queen, and other concubines, even the first-rank concubines Shufei, Huifei, Xianfei and Defei, do not have the status and qualifications to teach anything. Besides, if Jia Xiurong is still a sixth-rank concubine, it would be okay for them to teach her a few words, but now she is a third-rank concubine!

This third-rank concubine is a high-ranking concubine, even if it is a first-rank concubine, it is not so easy to bully. The four concubines did not want to be the first bird, and they were waiting for others to take action and then they would take advantage of it. For a while, although the palace was full of sourness, there was really no trick to use.

"Master, Concubine Feng came to visit, saying that the crape myrtle flowers in her yard bloomed today, and she picked a small basket of crape myrtle flowers and sent it to the master to see." Zi Su walked into the study quietly and reported in a low voice.

Xuan Yuan, who was leaning on the couch and reading a travel book, didn't even raise his head: "No, let her go back." He didn't bother to pay attention to these concubines. What could they say when they came? Xuan Yuan said that he didn't want to waste time listening to these nonsense.

Zi Su took a breath lightly, not surprised, responded in a low voice, and turned to leave the study. As she walked, she thought about how to send Feng Jieyu away as tactfully as possible. Although she also knew that the master's clear refusal would definitely offend Feng Jieyu.

Feng Jieyu was also a new concubine who entered the palace this time. When she first entered the palace, she was conferred the title of Jieyu of the fourth rank, which was enough to show that Feng Jieyu had a good family background, and her appearance was also beautiful, and her temperament was as gentle as water. It's a pity that she has never been favored since entering the palace, no wonder she came to please the master.

But... the master is the second young master, a man! It is already a great rebellion for a man to dress up as a woman and replace his twin sister to enter the palace. If he is too close to the concubines, when his identity as a young master is exposed in the future, he will really have eight mouths to explain.

So for Zi Su, she would rather her master offend these concubines than get too close to them. His Majesty's coming every day is enough to make them nervous and trembling. If these concubines come up again, won't it be a mess? If you want to compete for favor, go to His Majesty. They even hope that His Majesty will not come!

"Master, this won't work. You should pretend to be sick!" Bai Zhi brought another cup of tea with a slightly anxious look. His Majesty has come often in the past month, and Xuanyuan always greets him with illusions, but in Bai Zhi's opinion, this is not a long-term solution. Now Xu Qingtian has not been found, so it is better to avoid His Majesty.

The slender jade-like hand gently turned over a page of the yellowed ancient scroll. Xuan Yuan was still flipping through the travel notes in his hand. He didn't let out a long sigh until he finished reading the travel notes slowly. He said lightly: "Ten days later, Your Majesty will host a banquet to entertain the Xiongnu envoys who came to the imperial capital to seek peace?"

Bai Zhi was slightly stunned, not knowing why the topic suddenly turned to this, but she nodded immediately: "Yes, because this banquet will be attended by the royal family, noble families and ministers, so the ladies in the harem will also attend, and you, my master, must also attend."

Xuan Yuan hummed, and then asked: "Have the Xu family found clues about Xu Qingtian's whereabouts? Can she be found within ten days?" Because in the palace, if Xuan Yuan did not use any means, communication with the Xu family would not be smooth.

Bai Zhi shook her head slightly: "The news from a few days ago was that no one has been found yet, and I am not sure whether I can bring the young lady back."

Xuan Yuan did not say anything else, but just picked up another travel journal to read again. The banquet ten days later was a big drama. If Xu Qingtian was not caught, some scenes would not be able to be performed, which would be a bit troublesome.

Over the past month, although Xuanyuan always greeted Emperor Ningcheng with magic whenever he came, it must be said that this magic still worked. Xuanyuan basically didn't say a few words to Emperor Ningcheng, and it was all his "dreaming" there, but even so, Emperor Ningcheng also had a very good impression of Xuanyuan.

Of course, there was actually a reason for this. Before, Emperor Ningcheng's health was not bad, but because of daily fatigue, he was not very healthy. In the past month, Emperor Ningcheng was captured by the illusion, and his body and mind were extremely happy, but he was Liuxiahui for a month after all, so his body was naturally better than before.

In the eyes of Emperor Ningcheng, he rested in Yimeixuan every day, not only had the beautiful things of red sleeves and fragrance at night, but also was energetic and vigorous during the day, so he naturally felt comfortable in Yimeixuan and was unwilling to go to other concubines.

After all, Emperor Ning Cheng is a qualified emperor who has successfully grasped the court in his hands. He does not need to compromise himself in the affairs of the harem for the affairs of the court. He goes wherever he feels comfortable, which is his own business.

But in fact, anyone who goes to bed and gets up early every day, is in a good mood, and has a balanced diet will become healthy! Emperor Ning Cheng feels that he is energetic every day. That is not the continuation of his good mood when he "dreams" at night, but his body is really energetic.

After Emperor Ning Cheng finished the morning court, the imperial sedan passed through the imperial garden and went to the Chenzheng Palace. When the emperor travels, there are naturally people to clear the way. The palace maids and concubines in the imperial garden all avoid it and dare not block the way of the emperor's sedan.

Sitting on the sedan, Emperor Ning Cheng pressed his eyebrows with his hand, and there was a little fatigue between his eyebrows. Even if he was very energetic when he got up in the morning, he was a little tired after a busy morning court. After all, the things discussed in the morning court were extremely complicated and troublesome, and not so easy to solve.

It is precisely because government affairs are not easy that Emperor Ning Cheng wants to enjoy the rare relaxation in the harem. He loves to go to whoever makes him happy and relaxed, without worrying about the balance of the harem.

The shaking of the imperial sedan chair was very slight. Emperor Ning Cheng felt a little dizzy as he sat at the top of the sedan chair. His previous fatigue gradually dissipated, making him feel relaxed. Although there were still many memorials waiting for review in the imperial study, he did not feel too difficult.

"Huh? Who is that?" Emperor Ning Cheng glanced at the corner of his eye, but suddenly saw a woman in a gorgeous palace dress with a powder blue long skirt walking over from the path over to Yimeixuan, and raised his eyebrows and asked.

Li Dezhong, who followed closely beside Emperor Ning Cheng, lowered his eyes and replied: "Your Majesty, that is the new concubine Feng."

Emperor Ning Cheng's expression did not change, and his tone was still indifferent: "She is going to Yimeixuan, what's the matter? Have many concubines gone to Yimeixuan recently?"

Li Dezhong complained in his heart, isn't it because Your Majesty favors Jia Xiurong alone? But he didn't dare to say it directly, and couldn't help but whispered: "Feng Jieyu is a new concubine in the palace. Maybe she had some friendship with Jia Xiurong before entering the palace."

"As for the other ladies, they do often invite Jia Xiurong to drink tea and appreciate flowers, and they will also visit Jia Xiurong in Yimeixuan, but..." Li Dezhong couldn't help but shut up when he said this. If he continued, wouldn't he be saying bad things about Jia Xiurong?

Although Jia Xiurong's behavior was somewhat unique, it was not something he could comment on. In fact, he always felt that Jia Xiurong's cold and distant attitude was very out of place among the concubines in the palace who were vying to please His Majesty.
