Murong Qingcheng sat down cross-legged, deliberately ignoring the headache. She placed the zither on her lap and started to tune the zither.
"Miss, the sound of the zither can travel very far. If you disturb people's dreams, you will be in trouble.”Brightmoon said.
Qingcheng explained," Don't panic. This zither music is played through internal energy. Ordinary people can't hear it from afar."”
"Oh, I see."
As expected, the sound of the zither was light and gentle, as if it only existed at the young miss 'fingertips. Only then did Qingfeng and Mingyue relax.
Qingcheng skillfully plucked the strings, sending all the pain through her fingertips to the strings, allowing the music to soothe the weakness in her heart.
Jin Yuqi of the Imperial Dragon Palace lay on his bed, unable to fall asleep. Ever since the winter when he was eight years old, he fell into a frozen lake from a fake mountain while practicing martial arts. His body had recovered, but from then on, he had a root cause of illness. Every year, it would trigger a cold disease several times. When the illness acted up, his whole body would feel cold and tremble violently. No matter how profound his cultivation was, it would be difficult for him to resist.
For this reason, his father had specially decreed that a Blazing Flame Pond be built for him. That place was his exclusive land, and no one could enter it at will. The water of the Blazing Flame Pond could help to resist cold diseases and also help to increase one's strength.
Recently, the matter of consort selection had made him frustrated again. The feeling in his body told him that his cold illness was about to act up again. He decided to stay at Blazing Tan for a few days. Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of a zither.
It was already so late, where did the zither come from? Jin Yuqi muttered to himself. The sound of the zither was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent, making his heart involuntarily rise and fall with the sound of the zither. Gradually, his state of mind became calmer and calmer. His eyelids became heavy and he fell asleep unknowingly.
When the morning light gradually faded in Changrui Palace, Qingcheng was still sleeping soundly. After working hard for half the night, her face finally returned to normal.
Ming Yue looked at the calm young lady and said,""The poor young lady has finally survived.”
"Shh, let her sleep a little longer." Qing Feng couldn't bear to wake her up.”
At this moment, Ji Minmin came knocking on the door. I have an embroidery technique that I would like to consult."
"Oh no, Miss Ji, don't come in. Miss hasn't changed her appearance yet.”Qingfeng said.
"I'll stop her. You wake Miss up.”Brightmoon said.
"Alright."
Ming Yue went to open the door. Her body flashed and she left the room before closing the door again."Miss Ji, please forgive me. Miss said that she slept late last night and was just getting up. She doesn't want you to see her unwashed appearance and wants you to wait in the hall.”
"Alright, I'll wait for her in the hall." Ji Minmin didn't think too much about it.”
Qingcheng had already woken up in the room. Qing Feng helped her put on her clothes.""Miss, are you feeling better? If you don't feel well, you can go back. Anyway, you don't have to go to the Embroidery Storage Hall to teach today.”
"No need, I'm already fine." Qingcheng said in a refreshed manner,"Hurry up and wash up. It'll take some time to disguise yourself."?”
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Qingcheng finally appeared in front of Ji Minmin.
"Sister, I have an embroidery technique that I want to learn from you. You have to be my teacher.”"Sister, did you not sleep well last night?" Ji Minmin looked at Qingcheng's face. Why do you look so haggard?"
She could tell through the disguise? Qingcheng wanted to laugh, but she held it in." You didn't sleep well, but you seem to be in good spirits."”
"I'm naturally happy that my face has recovered. We can finally go out."
"Then how about we take a stroll in the garden later?”Qingcheng suggested.
"This is excellent."
An hour later, the two of them strolled in the garden. Behind them were Qingfeng and Ah Ji, while Mingyue stayed behind to embroider the sachet.
Ji Minmin saw that a flower was very beautiful, so she plucked it and sniffed it. Then, she placed it in her hair."Sister, is it nice?"
"It looks good." Qingcheng smiled.
"With your appearance, you're simply ruining this flower!”Qian Yalan had also come to the small garden and heard their conversation. She then scolded Ji Minmin.
"Sister, let's go and take a look elsewhere." Ji Minmin didn't want to cause trouble.”
"Alright, it's fine if you don't want to see it.”
Ju Xiang stopped Ji Minmin."My family's young miss is speaking to you because she thinks highly of you. If you dare not appreciate my kindness, be careful that I will poison you again.”
"Listen," Qingcheng said seriously,"this is the good servant that the Prime Minister's Residence has taught!" It was simply shameless if word got out.”
"Murong Qingcheng, why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? If I were you, I would have cried and jumped into the river.”
"The enmity between you and me has nothing to do with Sister Murong. Don't even let her off.”Ji Minmin said boldly.
"All of you are against me." Qian Yalan said,"The palace is so big. Why are you here when I'm here?"?”
"What a joke. This Imperial Palace is not the Prime Minister's residence. Why can you come but we can't?”"Besides, we're minding our own business. You're the one who crossed the line again and again."”
Juxiang suddenly gave Ji Minmin a strong push. Seeing that she was about to fall, Qingcheng's eyes and hands were quick. She spun a few times and stopped Ji Minmin's waist.
Ji Minmin was shocked and panted.
Qian Yalan took out a small box from her sleeve, opened it, and placed it on the ground.
"Ah! Cockroaches!" Qingcheng jumped up in fright when she saw that it was a cockroach.
The cockroach circled around Qingcheng and refused to leave.
"Hahahaha!" Qian Yalan laughed impudently.
Ji Minmin wasn't that scared." Qian Yalan, you're too much. How dare you use cockroaches to scare people?"”
"Hahaha, how funny. A little cockroach scared her so much!”Qian Yalan laughed so hard that she almost fainted.
"Miss, let me help you." Qing Feng said anxiously. Then, he looked for the cockroach and wanted to stomp it to death.
Qingcheng continued stomping her feet, but Qing Feng still didn't kill the cockroach. Qian Yalan continued to mock.
The cockroach seemed to find it boring, so it quickly ran away.
Ah! Ah! Ah! In the end, there was another scream not far away. Someone fell to the ground, and someone started shouting,"Empress, Empress! Not good, the Empress has fallen!"
Qingcheng had already calmed down. When she saw this scene not far away, her heart skipped a beat. She said to Ji Minmin,""Not good, I'm afraid we've caused trouble. Hurry up and kneel.”
They and their maids knelt down first. Seeing this, Qian Yalan could only kneel down with a frown.
A slightly older palace maid came over and questioned,"You guys are really bold! He even dared to damage Lady Ru Fei's body, did he not want to live anymore? Tell me, which palace are you from?"
Ji Minmin was so scared that she didn't dare to speak. Qian Yalan knew that she was in the wrong first, but she didn't dare to make a sound. Murong Qingcheng lowered her head and said," Miss, we are all going to choose a girl. Because the garden is beautiful today, we came here to admire it. We didn't expect a cockroach to jump out of the grass and scare you. Please forgive us!"”
Consort Ru Fei had already walked over with the help of two palace maids with a cold face.""Bengong doesn't care where this cockroach came from. Today, you saw Bengong lose her composure, and this matter started because of you. If I don't punish you, Bengong's anger will be hard to appease.”
"Empress, please spare our lives. We won't dare to do it again!”Ji Minmin broke out in a cold sweat.
"Please forgive my lady, my lady is a daughter of a wealthy family, you can't hit her!”Ah Ji begged for mercy on his master's behalf,"If you want to hit me, then hit this servant!"”
Ru Fei was even angrier." Where did this bastard come from? He even dares to disobey BenGong's decree?" Your Young Lady is a precious daughter, could it be that Bengong's body is not as precious as hers?”
"This servant didn't mean that. This servant is, is.”Ah Ji was so flustered that he could not speak.
"Yue Ying, slap her mouth properly for me. Let's see if she still dares to spout nonsense!”
"Yes." Yue Ying walked in front of Ah Ji and began to slap her again and again.
"Ah Ji, Ah Ji!" Ji Minmin watched as Ah Ji was punished, but she was helpless.
Qingcheng thought for a moment and said,"Your Highness, you have a noble status, so why bother with people like us who don't know the rules?" It has only been a few days since the female candidate entered the palace, and she is being taught by the female officials. If there is any impoliteness, we will correct it. We hope that the Empress will raise her jade-like hands and forgive us. We will definitely think of the Empress's benefits. Even if we leave the palace, we will spread the Empress's virtues.”
"Oh? You sure know how to talk." "Raise your head!" Ru Fei looked at Qingcheng.”
Qingcheng did as she was told.
"Ai, what a pity. Such a woman who knows how to talk is actually so mediocre. Forget it, if this Queen were to punish you severely today, wouldn't it appear that this Queen is petty? However, there must still be a punishment. Yue Ying, go find Female Official Chen and tell her that this Queen has something to explain.”
Yue Ying stopped slapping Ah Ji's hand and said,"Yes, this servant will go now."
Ru Fei looked at the six people in front of her." Listen up. BenGong doesn't care about your family background or who is supporting you. In this harem, Empress Ru Fei must not be provoked. BenGong is in a good mood today. I've beaten you and scolded you. Kneel properly.”
After kneeling for a while, Female Official Chen finally arrived.
"This lowly official greets Ru Fei niangniang. Miss Yue Ying has already said the matter. This lowly official will take these selected women back and deal with them properly.”
"The responsibility of teaching the chosen women is great, you have to restrain them well. If BenGong sees them misbehaving again, don't blame BenGong for being merciless.”
"Thank you for your teachings, Empress." Female Official Chen was respectful in front of Consort Ru.
"Alright, bengong is tired. I want to stay here and admire the flowers. Quickly take your people and leave.”
"Many thanks for the niangniang's advice, this lowly official will take them away now!”Female Official Chen stood in front of them with an ashen face."Murong Qingcheng, Ji Minmin, Qian Yalan, go to the Hall of Elegance and reflect on your mistakes.”
"Yes."
Ah Ji and Qing Feng left together, and Ju Xiang followed behind them.
The three of you, kneel down!”"It seems that the palace rules of the past few days have been taught in vain."”
Qingcheng and the others knelt down in unison.
"Listen up, you are not allowed to go anywhere today. Kneel here and memorize the palace rules. If you memorize a wrong word, kneel for an extra two hours!”said Female Official Chen.
"Yes." The three of them said in unison.
"Also, don't hand over tomorrow's embroidery. Offending Consort Ru is a great sin. Today, the Empress has shown mercy, which is already a great kindness. Don't even think about the Princess's reward.”
"Yes, sir!" The three of them had different thoughts about this punishment. Qingcheng naturally didn't care. She didn't want to be rewarded by the princess anyway. On the other hand, Ji Minmin felt that Sister Qingcheng wasn't worth it. It was fine if it was hers, but her sister's embroidery skills were so exquisite. It was such a pity. Qian Yalan was secretly unconvinced by Female Official Chen's punishment, but she couldn't resist it openly.
