Chapter 405: Purple Concubine
In the palace, the sky is dawning.
A luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the side gate of the palace, and the guard guarding the gate bowed and saluted.
Although the carriage is luxurious, it does not have much ostentation. There is only one coachman and a few accompanying palace ladies - of course, these palace ladies are not wearing palace clothes at the moment, they are just dressed like maids from wealthy families.
Leaving the palace, the carriage did not merge into the traffic on the avenue, but walked slowly and steadily along a path.
Soon, a lazy and charming yawn came from the car.
"Tian'er, where are you?"
After yawning, the female voice in the car asked lazily.
"Concubine Zi..." A palace maid accompanying outside the carriage approached the window of the carriage and said softly: "There is still half an hour to go."
"Okay." Concubine Zi He said leisurely in the car: "I am very bored. Come in and talk to me."
"Yes."
The palace maid named Tian'er responded, quickly stepped onto the carriage shaft and got into the carriage.
In the carriage, a woman in her thirties was leaning on the cushioned backrest of the carriage seat, playing with her exquisite bracelet in boredom.
She is not actually very charming in appearance, but she has a charm that comes from her bones.
She was actually dressed very conservatively. She wore a long purple brocade dress that hugged her body tightly. Not even a trace of skin was exposed on her neck or wrists. The dress was not slim-fitting either. , the outer layer of purple gauze hangs loosely.
But even so, Concubine Zi raised her eyes slightly, held her head slightly, and her weak and lazy figure made the palace maid Tian'er blush, and she couldn't help but glance at her face a few more times.
"What are you looking at?"
Zi Fei blinked and said with a smile: "Is there something on my face?"
"No, no..." Tian'er's face turned redder: "Tian'er was just thinking, how can the earrings of the queen be so beautiful..."
Zi Fei smiled charmingly, stretched out her hand to touch the wind chime-like earrings under her earlobe, and said There was a pleasant crisp sound: "Is it the earrings that look better, or my ears?"
"Empress..." Tian'er bit her lip, the redness on her face reaching her ears.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Zi Fei waved: "Come here, sit down."
"Yes." Tian'er breathed a sigh of relief, After responding, he carefully sat down next to Zi Fei, placed his hands neatly on his knees, and sat upright.
“Let me ask you.” Zi Fei raised her lips and said, “How long has it been since the Holy One came to our place?”
"Yes, it's been nearly two months."
When Tian'er heard this, she suddenly became a little nervous: "But it seems that the emperor has not been blessed with any other concubines recently..."
"That's true. It's nothing." Zi Fei smiled and said: "He is just in his prime. Although he is full of energy, there are too many interesting things in the world... No matter how hard it is to learn the love between men and women, it takes a year or two to understand it. It's boring. At his age, he shouldn't be too obsessed with women."
But as she said that, her eyes suddenly turned sharp: "It's just that we can't figure out what the Lord is interested in? "
"My dear, I heard that the Holy Emperor has been very concerned about the affairs of the Northern Yi recently."
Tian'er quickly said: "The Beiyi people were too arrogant a few days ago. The Holy One lost his temper in the imperial study room and sent the Sword Master out to investigate the Beiyi incident... I think the Holy One is probably worried recently. There's a war in Northern Xinjiang."
Purple Concubine narrowed her eyes slightly: "What's going on in the north...it's good. Those barbarians really deserve to be killed. If our little emperor has the courage to destroy those barbarians, he will have grown up. He is a charming and good man..."
Tian'er didn't dare to accept these words, so she had to lower her head.
“Let’s not talk about these things in the palace.”
Zi Fei yawned again: “Tell me, is there anything interesting happening in Beijing recently?”
>
"Mother, yes." Tian'er raised her head and said with a smile: "Just two days ago, Dali Temple decided a case, saying that a disciple from an aristocratic family framed a student of Qingteng Yayuan for theft, but he was beaten to death. He was paralyzed, and in the end the incident was revealed, and he committed suicide out of fear...I heard that there was something about the newly appointed Bai Yushi in this matter."
Purple Concubine smiled: "It's interesting. Let’s talk about it in detail.”
The carriage continued to move forward slowly, and gradually arrived at a remote place in the southwest of the capital. There was nothing else here, but there was a small Taoist temple.
"Mother, it seems we have arrived."
Tian'er opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside, saying softly.
When Zi Fei heard the words, her spirits were slightly lifted.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Taoist temple. Several Taoist priests stood in front of the carriage, waiting respectfully. Zi Fei held Tian'er's arm out of the car, glanced at the Taoist priests, and said with a slight smile: "Are everything ready?"
"Mother, everything is ready." Ready."
The old Taoist priest nodded and said: "They are all in the alchemy room."
"Very good." Concubine Zi smiled with satisfaction, turned to Tian'er and a group of palace maids and said, "You can take a stroll around here and don't disturb me."
"Yes." Everyone This is how a palace maid should salute.
Zi Fei stretched lazily and walked into the Taoist temple under the guidance of several Taoist priests.
This Taoist temple is neither big nor small. During the walk, several Taoist priests turned away midway, and in the end only the old Taoist priest who was the leader remained.
When he and Zi Fei stood at the door of the alchemy room, the old Taoist priest suddenly turned around and bowed slightly to her: "Zhenren Ziyun, Ziqi Xianfengguan...here comes someone."
Zi Fei’s eyes suddenly lit up!
"Where!" she asked.
The old Taoist priest chuckled, raised his hand to raise the dust, and pointed at the alchemy room.
A smile that could not be concealed appeared on Zi Fei's face: "Very good, don't let others in."
After that, she couldn't wait to open the door and entered the alchemy room.
In the alchemy room, there is obviously a huge alchemy furnace. Something is being smelted in the alchemy furnace at this time. The fire is extremely strong and the fragrance is overflowing.
Beside the alchemy furnace, there were several women... and a man.
"Uncle Ziyun!"
Seeing her arrival, the eyes of the women all lit up and they came forward one after another. Only the man still stood by the alchemy furnace, holding his arms With both arms, he looked at the alchemy furnace with interest.
This man is naturally Fu Qingzhou.
Yesterday Qiu Chan told her that her uncle in the palace, also known as Zi Fei, suddenly contacted their Taoist temple under the rule of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple and said that he would come here to make elixirs.
As for why she came to make elixirs, what kind of elixirs she wanted to make, and why she didn't do it in the palace... the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple would naturally not ask.
So, they rushed to the Taoist temple early in the morning and waited for Zi Fei to arrive.
Taking this opportunity, he also met some of Qiu Chan's fellow apprentices... Well... These women don't look like Taoist nuns or quasi-Taoist nuns. One by one, they made a fuss, chattering around him, and were curious about him. It was so annoying that it made his head hurt.
At this moment, Concubine Zi finally came, and they were all attracted, and Fu Qingzhou finally had a moment of peace.
"Do you still know how to make alchemy?"
He asked in his mind: "You just said, what is this refining?"
The smoker smiled and said: "Aphrodisiac."< br>
Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "I seem to understand why Concubine Zi doesn't refine this elixir in the palace... Tsk, tsk, tsk, I wonder if the emperor can withstand it..."
"This elixir is actually quite good." Yan Gui said leisurely: "It's not a strong medicine, but it can also nourish yin and yang, strengthen the kidneys and strengthen the vitality. This concubine is quite good to the emperor."
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said nothing more.
Because, on the other side, Qiu Chan and the others had simply finished talking to Zi Fei.
At this time, the imperial concubine was walking through a group of young women and came to Fu Qingzhou.
“This is Qianlong Fu Qingzhou?”
She asked with a chuckle: “Is it you who destroyed Fanyin Temple and captured the little prince of Beiyi?”
"Fanyin Temple is seeking its own destruction; Manar is also throwing itself into a trap, and the common people are just following the trend." Fu Qingzhou responded, cupped his hands and bowed to the Purple Concubine: "Fu Qingzhou, a common man, has met the Purple Concubine. "
"Haha, there is no need to be so polite."
Zi Fei smiled and said: "If you are not in the palace now, just call me "Senior"
"Yes." "Fu Qingzhou raised his head and said with a smile: "Senior, we came to see you today for something important and extremely secret."
"Well, I heard what Chan'er and the others said." >
Zi Fei turned her head, her eyes swept across the faces of Qiu Chan and other young female disciples, and whispered: "You guys want to deal with the wisdom of Jin Chan Temple?"
