The emperor's praise was like a bolt from the blue to Su Daji, blocking her last escape route. This tyrant really thought highly of her. From now on, the deep palace would become her birdcage. Not only would she lose her freedom, but her body, mind, and self-esteem would also be trampled by him mercilessly. And under the palace's flashy exterior, who knew how many grudges and grudges he had to face, how many sorrows and joys he had to go through, how much corruption and filth he had to go through, and how many schemes and killings he had to go through.
Su Daji's face was pale and her eyes were full of flowers. In her eyes, they were like grass and mud. The melodious sound of the zither sounded like a heartbroken cry of blood to her. The sorrow and resentment floated in the air and went straight to the clouds.
King Zhou did not care about the change in her expression. He stretched out his arms to help the beauty up and deeply smelled the fragrance emitted from her body. It was refreshing. She felt her slightly trembling skin gentle and smooth like jade.
Nine-Tailed Fox, who was invisible in the air, also heaved a sigh of relief. Su Daji did not disappoint her and charmed the domineering Emperor. King Zhou's bravery had also charmed her. She was a thousand-year fox spirit. She felt that Mother Nuwa had entrusted her with a great task. The strong King Zhou would become his tool to do whatever he wanted. All the officials and beauties in the court became delicious delicacies in her eyes, waking up her sleeping taste buds.
At this moment, Nine-Tailed Fox had long ago warned Mother Nüwa not to harm all living beings.”The words were thrown out of the clouds, and what was left was endless conspiracy, cruelty, and ruthlessness.
Seeing the Emperor's smile, the people below the golden hall immediately cheered up. The ministers rushed forward to congratulate him."Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations on obtaining the beauty's return.”
King Zhou hugged Su Daji's soft waist and was beaming with joy. When he saw Fei Zhong and You Hun standing with their hands hanging down, he was overjoyed and said,"The two beloved ministers have gone to Jizhou this time to bring back a beauty for Zhen. Their contributions are not to be missed. Zhen will reward them heavily.”
Fei Zhong and You Hun immediately knelt down and thanked him.
Prime Minister Bigan stepped forward and reported,"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, is waiting at the Meridian Gate. He is at Your Majesty's disposal." I believe that Su Hu has the intention of repenting after marrying his daughter. I hope Your Majesty can understand his difficulties and forgive him.”
Only then did King Zhou remember the rebellious minister Su Hu. Looking at the sad look of the delicate beauty beside him, his heart softened. Su Hu was the father of the beauty after all. Punishing him was equivalent to creating a barrier between the beauty and himself. The emotional barrier would become the opposite of action, and then there would be psychological resentment. This was not what King Zhou wanted. Seeing the beautiful woman crying, King Zhou wished he could sleep with her now and make love with her. How much trouble could a Jizhou Marquis cause? Why not do her a favor?
At the thought of this, he immediately called the imperial officer to pass on the decree."Pardon Su Hu's entire family for their innocence. Listen to me bestow them titles. Return them to their old positions and add new relatives. Xianqing Hall banquet for three days, the prime minister and Baiguan celebration, the emperor's relatives praised the official for three days, two civil servants, three military officers, sent you back to your hometown.”
Su Hu, who was wearing the uniform of an official, quickly went up to the hall and knelt down to thank him.
Su Daji looked at her father's haggard face and felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. However, she was happy that her father could forgive her sins. However, she thought that it would be difficult for her to reunite with her family. Helplessness and pain turned into unspeakable words on his lips. Heart-wrenching emotions invaded every corner of his body. When they met their father's gaze, the two of them were secretly sad. They were truly separated by life and death. They looked at each other with tears in their eyes and sighed. When would they be able to meet again?
King Zhou couldn't wait any longer. He ordered the concubines around him,"Bansu Niangniang, enter Longevity Immortal Palace and wait for Zhen to return to the palace.”
Under the blue sky, the golden glazed roof of the Longevity Immortal Palace looked particularly magnificent. The huge courtyard in the palace almost blocked out the sun. Water dripped into the palace walls, fusing the shadows of the palace trees into one crystal clear body. Walking into the Longevity Immortal Palace, there was a tall building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps. The long corridor was like a belt, winding and winding. The eaves were high and the trees were shady.
The Longevity Immortal Palace was the most elegant and magnificent courtyard in the Nine Halls. It was also built by King Zhou for the beauty Daji. It was surrounded by red walls, green willows, pavilions, ponds, and waterside pavilions, reflecting the green pines and cypresses. There were fake mountains and strange rocks, flower beds and bonsai, and vines and green bamboos.
The palace maids arranged for Su Daji to rest in the sleeping hall according to the emperor's order. King Zhou had official duties to deal with, so he could only leave reluctantly. Anyway, the beauty had become a bird in a cage and was waiting for his favor at any time. A moment of spring was worth thousands of gold, so he was not in a hurry.
The crystal curtain of the bedroom fell, and the gauze curtain was draped down, creating a hazy atmosphere. The beam was made of sandalwood on the top of the cloud, the lamp was made of crystal jade, the curtain was made of pearls, and the pillar foundation was made of Fan Jin. The surrounding stone walls were also covered with brocade, and the floor was covered with a brocade carpet. On the platform, a few palace maids dressed in red and green stood with their hands down, welcoming the peerless beauty who walked in.
A beautiful palace maid walked over. She was wearing an ankle-length brocade dress and a pair of pointed shoes. She gave Su Daji a blessing and said softly,"The journey has been tiring for the niangniang. This servant has helped the niangniang shower and change her clothes.”
After King Zhou left, Su Daji's wandering soul returned to her body. She looked at the palace maid and heard her soft and gentle voice. She looked charming. In addition to her bright eyes, white teeth, and fair skin, she was also an outstanding beauty. However, her peach blossom eyes were sparkling, sometimes cold and sometimes gentle. Her flattering smile could not hide the jealousy and hatred in her heart. It reminded Daji of the blood-red eyes of the nine-tailed fox, and the blood tears that slowly seeped out.
This woman was not simple.
"What's your name?" Su Daji asked.
"This servant Gun Tun is the personal palace maid serving the Empress.”
"Where are they?" Su Daji pointed at the other three girls and asked.
"They are the palace maids in charge of the niangniang's daily life, meals, and cleaning of the rooms. They are always at the niangniang's command.”
The three palace maids walked over and bowed. They introduced their names, Qian He, Ji Xiu, and Huan Ju.
Su Daji looked at them one by one. Qianhe was dignified, Ji Xiu was elegant, and the most beautiful one was a woman named Huan Ju. She was wearing a light green cloud-patterned short-sleeved shirt with a straight collar and a pair of flowery trousers. She was about 14 or 15 years old and looked at her with a smile. She was petite and beautiful. There was a scholarly air between her eyebrows, which made Su Daji's heart tremble and she fell in love with her all of a sudden.
