The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

"What do you think of my idea?" Emperor Ning Cheng looked at Xuan Yuan with a smile, a hint of confidence in his eyebrows, and his handsome features were as elegant as an ink painting.

Xuan Yuan looked at him expressionlessly, his slightly raised eyes seemed to be filled with some sarcasm and disgust. He looked at Emperor Ning Cheng up and down, exhaled slowly, his voice was clear and his tone was light: "This is what you came up with. A good idea?”

He snorted lightly, with a bit of ridicule, and his cold eyes circled around Emperor Ning Cheng's head, as if he suspected that the thing on Emperor Ning Cheng's shoulder was not a head, but a ball.

Emperor Ning Cheng nodded slightly, with a serious expression on his face, not as if he was joking: "Yes, this is the most reasonable development, isn't it? I can't possibly make you a national advisor while reprimanding and grounding Xu Qingtian, right? Isn’t that a contradiction?”

"You still care about this?" Xuan Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly with a hint of surprise. He glanced at Emperor Ning Cheng. For some reason, Emperor Ning Cheng saw the disdain and contempt, "Aren't you an emperor?"

Emperor Ning Cheng quickly understood what Xuan Yuan meant and couldn't help but darken his face: "The emperor doesn't mean he does whatever he wants." After a pause, he finally told the truth, "Okay, I know the Xu family's affairs are nothing, but I I don’t want to be misunderstood.”

Xuan Yuan glanced sideways at him. He was not sure what the misunderstanding Emperor Ning Cheng was talking about, but he had no intention of understanding. He gently wiped the long sword in his hand with a piece of soft leather. His movements were delicate and gentle, careful and careful. Seriously, Emperor Ning Cheng has been forgotten.

Although Xuan Yuan didn't say a word, he had already expressed his rejection in practice, which made Emperor Ning Cheng's brows tinge with scorn, and he couldn't help but said: "Isn't this a bad idea? I really think it's feasible. "

Without raising his head, he continued to wipe the scabbard. Xuan Yuan's voice was clear and indifferent: "It may be a good thing for you, but it's not the case at all for me? How about you try to wear the palace?" Put on a skirt and see if you feel happy."

The sarcastic look on Emperor Ning Cheng's face was even worse. He also knew that it was a bit too much to ask Xu Qingning to wear women's uterine clothing even though he knew he was a man, but this was part of his plan.

Xu Qingning accompanied him to the banquet as the concubine, and "died" when he was assassinated. Then he pursued the title of concubine, stuffed the real Xu Qingtian into the cold palace to greet him well, and then showed favor to the Xu family, conferring Xu Qingning the title of concubine. As a national teacher.

This plan and arrangement seemed to Emperor Ning Cheng. Although it was very rough, it could very well dispel the unnecessary speculations of others - Emperor Ning Cheng really didn't want to be suspected of being a Nanfeng lover. Losing face or being disrespectful was the next best thing. He The main reason is that they are afraid that someone will propose sending men to the palace in the next draft.

Really, he doesn’t want to experience the shadowy nightmare of “the charming concubine lifts up her skirt but has sex” again. He is afraid that if he does it again, he will have a psychological shadow on the concubine and directly convert to my Buddha in the future.

Emperor Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment and decided to try to persuade Xuan Yuan again. First, he lured him with benefits: "You saved me and died as a concubine, so I can use this as an excuse to benevolent to the Xu family. !”

Xuan Yuan didn't even raise his head and said casually: "As long as you don't destroy the Xu family, you can do whatever you want." After a pause, he raised his head slightly and showed a flat smile to Emperor Ning Cheng, "If your Majesty really wants to I don’t guarantee that I will stand by and watch when the Xu family is attacked.”

Emperor Ning Cheng: "We promised to be loyal to the emperor and the country, but what about being loyal to me?"

Xuan Yuan glanced at Emperor Ning Cheng inexplicably, with a cold expression and words as sharp as a knife: "Who told you, I was just talking casually before." Do you really think he is loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly? Do you want to be so silly and sweet?

When the first plan failed, Emperor Ning Cheng devised another one. This time he planned to explain it to reason: "To be fair, it's not the first time you've worn women's clothing. Why are you so resistant? Everything has its own consequences. What happens once is what makes it easy, and what happens when it's ripe again. !”

Xuan Yuan snorted softly, curling up his lips with a hint of a sneer: "Do you want me to set a precedent for you, and you will be familiar with me once and twice?"

Emperor Ning Cheng retreated, but did not give up, and tried to be moved again: "My beloved, you see that your Xu family committed such a serious crime of bullying the emperor, and I didn't blame you for anything. Shouldn't you be extremely grateful and repay me?" Tolerant?"

Xuan Yuan smiled slightly and refused: "No." He raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Ning Cheng lightly, Xuan Yuan smiled lightly and said, "You should know that in the past month, I had countless opportunities to I didn’t do anything to you, did I?”

Therefore, it is really unclear who should be grateful to whom.

Emperor Ning Cheng felt helpless. He really couldn't think of a way to persuade him. In the end, he simply acted helpless and said, "That's it. I will issue an order directly when the time comes! If you don't want to disobey the order, just do this." ”

After saying this, Emperor Ning Cheng had no intention of staying at Yimeixuan. He left the main hall with the wind at his feet and walked directly through the path among the plum trees to the door of the palace. The background was like wind, and it blew away in an instant. When I go out, I feel as quiet as a virgin and as active as a rabbit in flight.

When he walked to the door of Yimeixuan, Emperor Ning Cheng saw two palace maidens standing at the door with ugly expressions. One was holding a lunch box in his hand, and the other had some dust on his knees. It was obvious that he had just knelt down.

The two palace maids had a look of fear and panic on their faces. They wanted to enter the palace, but they were stopped by Li Dezhong who was smiling and were not allowed to enter. They did not dare to contradict Li Dezhong, but they could not hide the anxiety in their expressions.

"Your Majesty!" Li Dezhong was the first to see Emperor Ning Cheng coming out. He quickly passed Bai Zhi and Zi Su and came to greet him. He bowed with a submissive look on his face, and then quietly followed behind Emperor Ning Cheng after flicking his whisk.

Emperor Ning Cheng glanced at the two palace maids, his eyes were calm, but suddenly fell on the lunch box held by Bai Zhi. He frowned slightly and snorted coldly: "It's this hour now, and you're just going to bring the food back?"

Bai Zhi's body trembled slightly and lowered her head. She didn't dare to speak or make any excuses. In fact, her mind was not on this at all. Her mind was full of questions, why was Emperor Ning Cheng here? Why did Emperor Ning Cheng come to Yimeixuan again?

Could it be that Emperor Ning Cheng finally reacted and planned to punish the Xu family? So they still didn't escape? Bai Zhi's body kept shaking, and she couldn't control herself.

Li Dezhong stepped forward, flicked his whisk, and tried to flatter Bai Zhi and the others. He took the initiative to explain to them, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the meals in the imperial kitchen are prepared according to the positions. Master Xu's meal... may be delayed. Miss Bai Zhi has done her best."

Emperor Ning Cheng frowned and glanced at the simple lunch box in Bai Zhi's hand. Although he didn't look at it carefully, he knew that the food inside would not be very good. It was either leftovers or some rotten food.

With a cold snort, Emperor Ning Cheng ordered: "Li Dezhong, you go to the imperial kitchen in person. I want to know how bold these servants are!"

"Pass on my decree. From now on, Xu Gengyi will be promoted to the first-rank concubine Jiafei!" Emperor Ning Cheng swept his eyes coldly over the crowd, as if to intimidate those who hid in the dark, "Instruct the Palace Department to immediately prepare the canonization ceremony for Concubine Jia, and clean up the Zhongcui Palace, waiting for Concubine Jia to move in."

Li Dezhong was stunned for a moment, and it took him a rare moment of distraction to react: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will spread the decree throughout the harem immediately." Under the meaningful gaze of Emperor Ning Cheng, Li Dezhong didn't know why, but said inexplicably, "I will go to the imperial kitchen right away."

Emperor Ning Cheng nodded with satisfaction and took the imperial carriage back to Chenzheng Palace.

After Jia Xiurong was suddenly demoted to the lowest rank of Gengyi, this incident caused an uproar in the harem - in fact, it was mainly the gloating and secret hatred of the ladies. The jealousy and sourness were the best description of the harem at that time.

They gloated over the loss of favor of Jia Xiurong, who was the most favored in the harem, and secretly hated that Xu Gengyi had fallen out of favor, and they could not compete for the favor of His Majesty. His Majesty was simply confused and could not see the existence of others at all.

However, these concubines did not gloat for long. When Emperor Ning Cheng first stepped into Yimeixuan after confining Xu Gengyi, it was not long before an edict spread throughout the harem -

The foxy girl who was demoted to the lowest rank of Gengyi was re-promoted by His Majesty to the first-rank Jiafei!

Directly promoted from the last ninth rank of Gengyi to the first-rank concubine, the speed of promotion was like riding a rocket. Well, they also know that she was already a third-rank groom before she was demoted to a changyi.

But can this be counted like this? It's fine that she climbed to the position of concubine after more than a month in the palace, but your majesty, you promoted it, demoted it, and promoted it again, what kind of operation is this? Are you teasing people? Do you think this is fun and interesting?

Before they had time to gloat over their misfortunes, they fell into the sea of ​​​​sour vinegar again. They really had all kinds of emotions in their hearts, but they couldn't spit out like a mouthful of old blood, just stuck in their hearts and made them feel aggrieved.

The concubines in the harem felt that they couldn't spit out a mouthful of old blood, and they served in Yimeixuan before, but when Concubine Jia was demoted to Xu Gengyi, they hurriedly asked for connections to leave Yimeixuan, and refused to stay in this palace that they thought had no future.

But now they are regretting it to death. What about the promise that there is no way out? What the hell is it that they were promoted to Concubine Jia just a few days after being demoted to a changyi? This is the master of a palace? If they had known that they could have endured a few more days, wouldn't they have become servants of the master in the palace?

Life in the harem is hard. Not only do the concubines have to find ways to please the emperor in order to live a good life in the harem, but even the servants in the harem have to find ways to climb up, to please the more powerful masters, and to please the masters, so that they can get to the top.

Otherwise, in the harem, if you don't have a backer, you have no status. You don't know when you will be ruined by offending the superiors. There is no guarantee of life at all, and the future is always uncertain.

It's a pity that these people missed the ladder to success.
