Don’t Show the Son

  Chapter 22 Harem Qunfang

  Finally made ice for the Queen’s Empress’ Yongning Palace. Before Lin Xiu had time to rest, she was taken to Changchun Palace again.

This is the residence of the imperial concubine. After entering the Changchun Palace, Lin Xiu clearly noticed that the eunuchs who were with him were a lot more nervous. Before entering, Manager Li told him to speak at the Changchun Palace. You must be careful when you do things. If you offend the concubine, no one can save him.

  Lin Xiu stepped into the gate of Changchun Palace and saw a beautiful woman in palace costume standing in the courtyard with a cat that looked like a cat in her arms.

This animal has white fur all over. Say it is not a cat. It does have the body of a cat. Say it is a cat. Behind it is a pair of white and small wings. This is the first time Lin Xiu has seen a cat with wings. .

  Lin Xiu was not particularly surprised at this. He already knew that the species in this world were different from the earth he knew.

  In addition to humans, there are other races in this world, such as spirit races, barbarians, and sea races. It is not surprising that there are some animals that are not on earth.

  The beautiful woman in the palace costume has outstanding appearance, faintly revealing a kind of extravagance, graceful and enchanting, and her chest is tall and straight, making people can't help but want to take the place of the cat in her arms.

  Such women’s attraction to men is fatal.

  Fortunately, with regard to women, Lin Xiu has also seen countless big winds and waves, and did not show any abnormality.

After Mr. Li walked in, he quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "The slave has seen the imperial concubine."

The beautiful woman in the palace costume glanced at him lightly, then looked at Lin Xiu again, and asked, "Who is he?"

  Manager Li quickly explained: "Going back to the imperial concubine empress, he is a student of the academy of alien arts, and his majesty specially summoned to the palace to make ice for all empresses."

The beautiful woman in the palace dress gently stroked the fur of the spirit beast in her arms, and never looked at Lin Xiu again, and said, "Go, move faster. The daughter is afraid of seeing strangers. If you scare it, this palace will take your heads off. ."

  Manager Li repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, we will leave after making ice, and we will leave after making ice..."

  This imperial concubine is obviously not a kind person. Not only the general manager Li and several eunuchs are conscientious, but even the court ladies and eunuchs of the Changchun Palace are trembling.

  Having finally finished making the ice, after coming out of the Changchun Palace, several eunuchs, including Chief Li, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads with lingering fear, and looked like they were left behind.

  Emperor Daxia has countless harems, among which there are five people in the most respected position, namely, one queen and four concubines.

  The queen is naturally the queen, she is the mother of a country, the mother of the world, and the head of the harem well-deserved.

Under the queen, there are four concubines, namely the imperial concubine, the wise concubine, the Shu concubine and the De concubine, and then the nine concubines, Jie Yu, the talented person, and the beautiful woman. Lin Xiu, under the leadership of Manager Li, strictly follows the harem concubine. The order of rank, the door of a palace to a palace.

  The imperial concubine was followed by the concubine Xian. The concubine didn't say anything except to walk out and take a look, so Lin Xiu and the others successfully completed the task.

   Coming out of the Concubine’s Ningxia Palace, General Manager Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “The master of Qianqiu Palace is very temperamental. He has never been embarrassed by the palace. You can rest assured.”

  Qianqiu Palace is the residence of Concubine Shu. According to Manager Li, this empress concubine Shu seems to have a good reputation in the harem.

Not long after, in Qianqiu Palace, Lin Xiu put one hand on the mold and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other hand. Making ice in this way consumes too much energy. He could have insisted on making ice. Fifty parties, I am afraid that there is not even half of it now.

  Go to another palace at most, and the vitality in his body will be exhausted.

  As Lin Xiu gritted her teeth and insisted, there was a fragrant breeze around her. A court lady walked over, holding an ice bowl in her hand. The ice bowl contained a dozen peeled, crystal clear grapes.

  She smiled at Lin Xiu and said, "Thanks for your hard work, this is a reward from Concubine Shu."

   Passed the ice bowl to Lin Xiu, and she walked back lightly again.

Lin Xiu looked at the grapes in the ice bowl and ate a few by herself. When she turned around, she saw the three eunuchs swallowing hard, so she handed them the ice bowl and said with a smile: "The reward of Concubine Shu, everyone is divided. Bar."

To eat a frozen grape in the summer is something that only the nobles in the palace can enjoy. Manager Li swallowed his mouth and shook his head and said, "No, no, no, this is the gift of the imperial concubine to Young Master Lin. We can’t eat…"

  Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, “It’s hard for a few father-in-laws to run around following me, how can I eat alone...”

  Seeing that Lin Xiu is so free and easy, Manager Li did not insist, haha ​​laughed twice, and said: "In this case, we will also follow Master Lin..."

I don’t know what kind of grape it is. It’s juicy, fleshy, seedless, and very sweet. After being chilled, eating one is completely refreshing. Lin Xiu put down the ice bowl and couldn’t help saying, “This grape is really good. Eat..."

  Manager Li smiled and said: “This is the tribute grape of the Western Regions. Even the empress and empress are only divided into two bunches, and only the concubine Shu will give us this precious tribute.”

  Lin Xiu turned her head and looked at the direction of the inner palace. Empress Shu treated people very well. The masters of the three palaces he had been to before hadn't even looked at him directly, let alone any rewards.

There are rules for everything in the imperial palace. Ten squares of ice are made for the empress, and the four concubines can only be halved. Lin Xiu is very fond of the concubine Shu, and made two more for Qianqiu Palace. Manager Li did not say much about this. Half a word.

After sharing the reward of Concubine Shu, the distance between the few people was shortened again, and when they left Qianqiu Palace, Manager Li gave Lin Xiu a look and kindly reminded: "Next time we go to Ruidong Palace, where was originally It is the bedroom of Concubine De Concubine. After Concubine De Concubine passed away a few years ago, only Princess Minghe lived. After going there for a while, Master Lin remembered not to talk nonsense, and be careful to anger the princess."

  Lin Xiu knew that Mr. Li said that, it means that this Princess Minghe is not easy to provoke.

  He nodded and said, "I see."

   Stepping into Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu clearly noticed the difference between this and the previous palaces.

  Yongning Palace, Changchun Palace, Ningxia Palace, Qianqiu Palace, the palace where the queen and the other three concubines lived, there were many eunuchs in the palace, and people were busy everywhere, but there were only two people in the Ruidong Palace.

  A girl in a red dress sits on a swing under the plane tree, and a court lady stands behind her.

  General Manager Li walked to the courtyard and bowed and said: "See the princess, the slave, on the order of your majesty, will bring someone to make ice for the Ruidong Palace."

  The girl in the red dress glanced at him and said, "Suidong Palace does not need ice, go out."

"Yes."

  Manager Li responded, and was about to take Lin Xiu out, suddenly the voice of the girl in the red skirt heard again behind him.

   "Stop."

  The girl in the red dress looked back at the court lady behind her, with a thoughtful expression, and then said: "Cai'er, take them to the well."

Although I don’t know why Princess Minghe regretted it again, Manager Li led Lin Xiu honestly, made a sufficient amount of ice for Ruidong Palace, and then bowed and said: "Princess, we have to go to other palaces, so we left first... "

When    and Manager Li left, Lin Xiu glanced back.

The girl in the red dress was also looking at him. The two people met. For some reason, Lin Xiu suddenly felt a very uncomfortable feeling. It was the first time that he met, but he had a fight with the girl in the red dress. Impulse.

  At the same time, looking at Lin Xiu, the girl in the red dress also frowned.

  Beside the swing stand, the little palace lady noticed the strangeness of the girl in the red dress, and curiously asked: "Princess, what's the matter?"

  The girl in the red skirt asked, "Cai'er, don't you think that person was annoying?"

   "The princess was talking about the son just now?"

"it's him."

  The little palace lady shook her head and said: "No, that son is very good-looking..."

  The girl jumped off the swing and said, "But I just think he hates him. It is even more annoying than the prince. You can use the ice for a long time. Don't let him come tomorrow..."

  After leaving Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu is still thinking about why he and Princess Minghe have met for the first time, and there is no hatred or resentment. Why do they feel disgusted with her.

  He turned his head and asked Mr. Li: "Princess Minghe, has he also awakened the ability of other arts?"

  Manager Li nodded and said: "That is nature, the princess is talented and intelligent, and it is the power of fire that awakens."

Lin Xiu finally knew where his disgust for Princess Minghe came from. The most important power in his body is ice. Princess Minghe’s ability is fire, one ice and one fire. These are two diametrically opposed powers. How is it possible to look right?

  When ice and fire meet, they only have to look at each other and get tired of each other.

  Lingyin is ice, Lin Xiu is very comfortable with her, and both physically and mentally are very happy; Princess Minghe is fire, Lin Xiu is annoying seeing her, presumably she also feels the same as Lin Xiu.

  There is a restraint relationship between different skills, some are unilateral restraint, some are mutual restraint, Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe belong to the latter.

If someone has awakened the different art of water, he would never be Lin Xiu’s opponent if his strength is equal. The ice and water showdown, the opponent wants to beat Lin Xiu, at least one more time awakening than him. .

  And ice and fire restrained each other. In the end, who is better depends on who has the deeper strength. Princess Minghe is obviously much stronger than Lin Xiu. When Lin Xiu decides to come to the palace in the future, try to avoid her as much as possible.

  This woman is born to deny him.
