Chapter 93 Chapter 93 False and Snake
Mrs. Hai's birthday is in the twelfth lunar month, and it is said that she has attracted criticism when she stayed in the palace, but now that King Yan is celebrating her birthday openly, it is destroying all the norms of ethics.The admonishing ministers surrounded the palace without knowing how many times, Yuan Xin simply closed the palace gate, enjoying the company of his concubines. Pengying Palace was filled with congratulatory gifts, Yuan Xin accompanied Mrs. Hai to enjoy each piece, both of them were very interested.Mrs. Hai seems to be more docile and gentle than usual today, coaxing Yuan Xin to be full of complacency, making him want to tense his face to hide it deliberately from time to time, but he still can't help the corners of his mouth smiling. "This is an exquisite thing, who gave it to you?" Mrs. Hai picked out a puppet from the dazzling array, held it in her palm and played with it. The puppet is a three-inch-high fisher girl, sitting in a lotus boat and holding a blue oar, her limbs and oars can move, she is really dexterous and cute. The maid at the side looked carefully, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hui, it's Mrs. Gongshu from Yaochi Palace." "Mrs. Gongshu?" Mrs. Hai curled her lips into a smile, and slapped her hands, breaking the fisher girl off the lotus boat. After breaking off, she couldn't go back any more, Mrs. Hai frowned, and sighed pretendingly: "It's a pity, it's all because of my clumsy hands." Yuan Xin stared at her thoughtfully, and suddenly laughed out loud: "What's the pity? That girl is good at handicrafts, so you care about her?" Mrs. Hai stared at her watery eyes, two red clouds flew onto her cheeks, and said coquettishly, "Why do I care about her?" She deliberately evaded her words to lure him into the bait.The conceited Yuan Xin took it for granted that she was being bitter and jealous, and was happy to express her opinion: "Why bother to say what you mean. Somebody, send this puppet back and let Gongshu Lingbao restore it—no, let her come here..." Yuan Xin embraced Mrs. Hai's round waist, and gently blew into her ear: "I want you to know that she is just your servant..." A moment later, Lingbao appeared in Pengying Palace, carrying a toolbox on her back, pinching the strap of the toolbox with her small hands, timidly looking at the two tall people in the center of the hall, her face turned blue and then pale.Mrs. Hai looked her up and down, her eyes deliberately fell on the back of her cracked hands, and she smiled in surprise: "Miss Gongshu hasn't changed much, she is still the same as before." Yuan Xin snorted lightly, and looked away lazily: "At your command." "In that case, mother, let's invite Miss Gongshu to the back hall to repair the dolls." Mrs. Hai smiled slightly, turning around and instructed, "Don't forget to prepare tea." Yuan Xin once again enjoyed the gifts from various palaces with her, pointing to a crystal carving from Penglai Fairy Mountain, and said with a smile: "You can tell it's from Tianshi Palace at first glance, it's so boring." "But it's also crystal clear and cute." Mrs. Hai rubbed her slender fingers on the crystal fairy mountain, her slender eyebrows made Yuan Xin's eyes linger, and she couldn't move her eyes away for a long time. "How have you been these few days?" He stared at her and asked her warmly. "Very good," Mrs. Hai replied with a gentle smile, "It's just that it's windy at night, making the window lattices rustle, so I can't sleep well." "It's easy," Yuan Xin thought, and hugged her tighter, "Didn't you invite all the ready-made craftsmen to the back hall..." Mrs. Hai giggled coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are really..."
"It's Madam who can do it!" Long Baiyue complimented flatteringly, thanking Dade. Mrs. Hai was reclining on the brocade couch and reading Prince Xiao Jin's letter. At this moment, she raised her head: "I said, as long as you can help me contact the prince, I will try my best to help you." While talking, I saw the mother come into the hall with a smile, and blessed the two of them, saying: "Then Miss Gongshu is here to 'repair the window' again." Long Baiyue and Mrs. Hai laughed when they heard the words, happily watching Lingbao rush into Pengying Palace. Ever since Mrs. Hai was able to enter Pengying Palace on her birthday, Lingbao has cried and laughed as well.Now that she has finally returned to her original nature and returned to her old ways, she comes to meet He Lingyun every day with the shyness of her daughter's pride. It is rare for a group of people to gather together, so everyone set up the tea party in a secret room to facilitate chatting and laughing.He Lingyun's recovery was astonishingly fast, and now the wound on his back had healed, but Lingbao was worried and curious, and always had to take a look every time he came. After watching for a long time, the craftsman's eyes began to be dishonest, looking at the hideous scar that was as big as a bowl, he said itchyly: "Ling Yun, such a deep wound is not smooth, why don't you let me embroider it for you?" "No!" He Lingyun flatly refused. "Why?!" Lingbao was annoyed, "You are a military officer, how can you not have tattoos on your body?" Long Baiyue was speechless: "Lingbao, you still have this skill?" "Of course," Lingbao said proudly, "Our public loser family can do everything from civil engineering to small murals and tattoos." "What about the embroidery?" Long Baiyue asked. Gongshu Lingbao's momentum faltered immediately, lacking confidence: "That thing takes a lot of time, and the price will not go up, so it's not worthwhile to make." "The same is for needles. It seems that the tattoo skills are not much better." He Lingyun snorted and said arrogantly, "I don't want tattoos, it's so ugly." "Are you afraid of pain?" Lingbao smiled wickedly. He Lingyun was startled, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Long Baiyue interjected from the side: "Tattoos are really not good-looking, I have seen one - half of the face is tattooed with cyan coiled dragon embroidery, it scares people to death." The speaker was unintentional, but who would have thought that Mrs. Hai, who was quietly drinking tea at the side, slipped the tea cup in her hand to the ground with a clang.Long Baiyue was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Madam, are you alright?" Mrs. Hai's face was pale, she stared at Long Baiyue and asked, "Where did you see that person?" Long Baiyue didn't understand, and asked Ai Qiqi: "What?" "Where did you see the man with the dragon tattooed on half of his face?" "I saw this servant in the sky prison... that man... was imprisoned in the water prison..." Long Baiyue looked at Mrs. Hai's pale and serious face in surprise, and stammered. "Oh... oh, good..." Mrs. Hai also realized that she had lost her composure at this moment, and hurriedly averted her gaze. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, everyone quickly changed the subject, but this episode fell on everyone's heart. When Long Baiyue returned to Tianshi Palace at night, she was still thinking about this matter - Mrs. Hai's attitude during the day was too strange, it seemed that something was wrong.So she asked Zi Mian full of doubts: "Have you ever heard of a person with a dragon tattooed on half of his face?" "I've heard of it before, what's the matter?" Zi Mian asked strangely, "Why did you remember to ask this?" Ming Chuangchen winked anxiously at the side—didn't it be agreed that he would never mention anything about the water prison? Bao'er delivered letters during the day and missed the tea party in the secret room, so she was quite curious at the moment: "What are you talking about? It seems interesting?" Long Baiyue hesitated and said: "Well, it's nothing. That time in the water prison of the sky prison, I saw a burly man with a dragon tattoo on half of his face." "Didn't you say that there are only mice in the water prison?" Bao'er was startled, and said angrily, "Okay, you're kidding me!" Zi Mian didn't care about what Bao'er said, just stared at Long Baiyue and exclaimed: "Did you see the 'half-faced dragon'? My God, I didn't expect him to be alive." "Half-faced dragon?" Long Baiyue and Ming Chuangchen foolishly repeated, recalling that terrifying big man with lingering fears in their hearts. "Yes, when 'Half-faced Dragon' was born, there was a birthmark on his face like a purple cloud. His father tattooed a green dragon for him based on the birthmark, so he got this nickname." Said him, he used to be Yuan Xin's brother-in-law, the black-robed general of the Yan Kingdom, he fought together with Yuan Xin in the past, and made a blood oath with Yuan Xin - they will live and die together, and they will enter the palace together in the future. Unexpectedly, he suddenly disappeared after usurping the throne , the world thought that King Yan broke the contract and killed him." "It is indeed to let him live with me in the palace... I never thought Yuan Xin would keep his promise like this." Long Baiyue shuddered. "After all, the weight of the poisonous oath makes people afraid," Zi Mian said, "He is the number one warrior in the Yan Kingdom, a mythical general who always wins, and with dragon tattoos on his face, so he is also said to have an 'emperor's appearance'. Yuan Xinji He has made great achievements, and it is not difficult to understand how to attack him when things are done." "No wonder Mrs. Hai was so surprised when she found out about this." Long Baiyue sighed. "Did you tell Mrs. Hai?" Zi Mian's face changed slightly, and there were dark waves in her eyes, but she quickly restrained herself. Long Baiyue saw that he attached great importance to this matter, and was afraid of getting into trouble, so she hurriedly asked him: "Is there anything wrong with mentioning it unintentionally?" "It's nothing..." Zi Mian murmured, looking into her frightened eyes, and ignored her uneasiness.
