It took about three weeks for everyone in the palace to wake up. The day after Noble Consort Zhang and I made the noodles, the group of people in the imperial kitchen woke up first. They went out of the palace to find a small portion of medicinal herbs that could still heal. After covering most of the people's mouths and pinching their throats to swallow them, the others also woke up one after another. However, there was still a group of people who usually liked to doze off. They still slept for more than ten days with the help of the medicine before waking up.
Tong E woke up on the fourth day. Song E had been sitting by her bed these days, waiting for her to wake up. Fortunately, she woke up early. Song E had just pulled me up from the bed in a hurry when a small eunuch came to the gate of Changle Palace to deliver an edict saying that Nian Gu had returned.
In front of the main hall, I saw Nian Gu take a bundle of fat feed to feed the two horses that followed her all the way. I remembered that the people in the stable had not woken up for the past few days. The feed trough in the palace stable should be empty, so I wanted to quickly fill them up. I can't let Horsehead and Bai Yuan starve. The feeling of hunger is too uncomfortable!
I was just about to walk back when Aunt Nian grabbed my collar and pulled me back like a little chick." Hey, hey, hey, I just came back. What are you doing?”Her hands smelled like horse feed. I just changed my shirt this morning!
"Go feed my horse." I gently patted her hand that was grabbing my collar. She let go and smiled at me.
"Wait a moment, I have something important to tell you.”
"Can't you go with me?" I thought about the big horse and Boyuan in the stable. I hadn't seen them for days. They must miss me.
"I still have things to do." Nian Gu lowered her head and pondered for a moment.
"Oh." I shrugged my shoulders and touched my wrinkled skirt." Aunt, tell me.”
"Listen carefully." Nian Gu put the last handful of feed into her horse's mouth." You must go to the sword dance competition this time.”
"What? I wanted to get away with it, but what could she do if I didn't go?”This annoying invitation made me avoid the swords in the courtyard these few days.
Nian Gu seemed to have expected me to say this. After all, I was brought up by her since I was young. She waved her hand and her eyes flickered." There's something you don't know about this sword dance competition.”
"What?" I perked up my ears and suddenly became alert. However, on second thought, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. It had something to do with Feng Tianjiao. What good could it be?
Nian Gu coughed." The Feng family has let loose. They even intend to use the entire gambling industry of the Great Zhou to mock you. Feng Tianjiao said that in three days, the bet for the duel between you and her will be placed. Both the Southern and Northern Dynasties can participate, and everyone can watch the excitement.”
"It's just that everyone is here to watch me, right?”I knew it was nothing good. I kicked the stone on the side of the road angrily. After kicking it, I felt a little pain in my toes and quickly threw it aside.
She paused for a moment." If you lose, there will be no consequences. At most, the Feng family will distribute money to reward the people. They will take this opportunity to pretend to be good people again. But if you win, then this time will be different."
"You think I can win?" I put on a bad attitude and almost sat on the ground.
"Don't be in a hurry. You have to listen to what your winning criteria are first-although it's quite insulting. Feng Tianjiao invited all ten sword grandmasters in the world to watch the sword dance competition. As long as one could obtain three or more lights from one of them and was not knocked down by her, one would win.”
"That good?" However, even if the requirements are so low, it seems difficult for me to do so. I'm afraid that if I go, I'll still be treated as a joke.
Although I was probably a joke in the first place.
"Although she looks down on you, I think she has also heard of your 'martial arts' as long as she doesn't kill you, she wouldn't dare to kill you so openly! Besides, didn't I teach you self-defense first all these years?”
"Then why are you so happy?”I frowned and scratched my face.
"The conditions they agreed to after you won! Feng Tianjiao said that if you can win, you can pick three people from Bei Dynasty to come here and decide whether they want to stay or leave. This way, we can redeem the North Korean war criminals who were captured by the Feng family two years ago, which is the three heroes of our South who are still in the North! Such an arrogant person like her probably didn't put these three people in her eyes. She wouldn't have reached the point where the Feng family thought they would let the tiger return to the mountain. Moreover, Feng Yin agreed to her nonsense. Presumably, she didn't care about small profits. This was the usual style of the Feng family. When the three generals return, in the future, we will rearrange the battle plan. The southern side will definitely have an opportunity!”
I didn't move, and those small movements from before also disappeared. I only had a dazed look in my eyes.
Nian Gu saw that I was motionless and waved her hand in front of my eyes." What? Tempted? Can't you speak human language?"
I still didn't move. I knew that when a normal emperor in my situation heard this, they would probably think of some picturesque scenery. They would even hear the words " I really want to live for another 500 years ". Their eyes would definitely light up, thinking that this might be a chance to regroup.
However, I remembered the sigh that Noble Consort Zhang had made in front of the short tree a few days ago. If I won and could appoint three people from the Northern Dynasty to come to the Southern Dynasty, my first reaction would be to let him choose.
I'll agree to whoever he chooses, as long as he's happy.
As I fed the horse, I thought about Noble Consort Zhang's appearance. The grass in my hand was gone, but my arm was still raised foolishly. Bai Yuan rubbed against me and I was pulled by it. Perhaps it was because I was drugged a few days ago, but my hands were still a little shaky.
Bai Yuan squeezed me with his head. I clenched my fist and let go.
Back at Changle Palace, I didn't take a detour to leave my sword. Although I had changed a few swords, and I could break every one of them, this one was still alright. I had asked the servant in the casino to help me spend some money on it at the second-hand flea market.
I picked it up and started training according to the basic sword manual on my left hand. I'm ashamed to say that I've been learning sword techniques for so many years, but I'm still stuck at the basics.
There were a hundred sword moves, but the basics remained the same. My Great Zhou's sword style pays attention to the words "wind, blade, and Feng". In other words, when you raise your sword, you must have the wind of the sword. When you swing your sword, you must see the blade of the sword. When you face the enemy, you must adopt the Feng style. Attack as defense, defense as attack…
After playing for half a day, at sunset, I was sweating all over. Coincidentally, I was wearing a lot today. I really felt hot, so I opened the palace door, opened my collar, and sat on the steps in front of the door. When a beautiful palace maid walked by, I was sweating and panting as I greeted her.
The palace door opposite opened, and I raised my fingers reflexively." Hey!”，Only then did she realize that it was Noble Consort Zhang who had walked out of the door.
“？”He looked at me with a puzzled face as I sat on the threshold opposite Weiyang Palace. Because the steps were a little hot, I moved to the threshold again.
" Uh," I scratched my head." Good afternoon, Imperial Concubine." What are you doing?"
He rolled his eyes at me impatiently." It's a little hot. I'll open the door."”But he still answered me.
"Are you northerners afraid of the heat? It is said that the summer in the north is also very hot." I started to find a conversation again.
"Can I be an exception?" He obviously didn't want to pay attention to me. After saying this, he was about to walk into the house. I quickly called out to him.
"What?" He turned his head, still staring at me with his eyes propped up and his lips pursed. Even so, I felt that he was acting coquettishly. It was really strange.
No, it should be that I'm really cheap. (As long as you know)
"If you could call a few people from the Blessed Hall over, who would you call over?”I pondered and couldn't help but ask.
He didn't know what I wanted to do, but I'm afraid my question was extremely inappropriate. He sized me up and pursed his lips." What do you care?”
He rolled his eyes at me and went straight into Weiyang Palace, ignoring me. I saw the pear tree in his yard grow a little and begin to sprout beautiful new buds.
I lowered my head. I really couldn't care less.
I have a feeling that Feng Tianjiao's 'humiliating' reward for me isn't that simple. I don't know what kind of strange trap he has in front of me to broaden my horizons.
But today, the heavens still allowed me to see him. The moment I saw him, I wanted to go to the time ahead to take a look and see what else I could bring him.
Even if I don't have such an ability.
