When they returned to the palace, it was already dark.

All afternoon, Xiao Xi was on his way back and forth, running around.

She was tired and hungry. She just wanted to eat a big meal and sleep quietly.

However, as soon as she returned to the Qingge hall, she found that there were many forbidden guards in the Qingge hall, and Gan Fu was the leader.

You can tell from this posture that the comer is not good.

Gan Fu saluted her: "I'm a slave. I'll see the side imperial concubine."

Xiao Xi had to brace up to deal with it.

"Why did grandpa Gan come?"

Gan Fu smiled and said, "when the forbidden guards searched the East Palace this morning, they accidentally found that you actually planted a lot of vegetables and raised a lot of poultry. When the emperor learned about this, he was unhappy and felt that his mother's move had damaged the image of the east palace."

Xiao Xixi: "I've asked people to clean up those vegetables and poultry."

Gan Fu: "well, I went to the backyard just now. It's really clean. It's great to know your mistakes and correct them. It's good for your mother to repent in time, but the emperor still needs you to explain, so please go with me."

Baoqin looks at concubine Xiao with extremely worried eyes, for fear that concubine Xiao will suffer losses this time.

Xiao Xi is not very afraid.

She just feels hungry.

"Grandpa Gan, can you wait a minute? I just came back from the outside and my clothes are stained with dust. It's really indecent. I want to change into clean clothes."

Gan Fu is not good at forcing people too tight, gentle and authentic.

"Please help yourself, but you must act quickly. Don't let the emperor wait too long."

Xiao Xixi and Baoqin went to the bedroom.

Baoqin closed the door and asked eagerly, "madam, the emperor specially called you over. Isn't it to punish you?"

Xiao Xila opened a box at the head of the bed, in which there were many cakes.

She picked up a piece of peach crisp and said while eating, "it's all right. The emperor shouldn't do anything to me. At most, he'll knock me."

Baoqin could not help persuading her when she saw her wolfing down.

"Eat slowly and be careful not to choke."

Baoqin poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Xiao Xixi drank his tea and continued to put food in his mouth.

The emperor certainly didn't provide food. She had to eat more now to avoid hunger.

She ate most of a box of cakes.

Baoqin took out a set of plain clothes and skirts, changed them for Xiao Xixi, and painted her makeup.

There was a happy urging sound outside the door.

"Madam, haven't you cleaned up yet? It's very late. We can't delay any more."

Xiao Xixi: "all right, all right!"

She stood up, patted off the cake crumbs on her dress, then took the handkerchief from Baoqin and wiped her hands.

Baoqin squatted down and helped her tidy up her skirt.

Xiao Xixi opened the wardrobe and took out the small burden of broken flowers on the blue background.

She took a medicine bottle out of it.

Open the medicine bottle and pour out a milky white pill.

She stuffed the pills into the sachet she carried with her.

After finishing this, Xiao Xi opened the door and walked out slowly.

She said a word to Ganfu waiting under the steps.

"Let's go."

The party walked out of the Qingge hall.

Xiao Xixi sat in the sedan chair and Baoqin followed him on foot.

Ganfu walked ahead, surrounded by more than a dozen forbidden guards.

They left the East Palace and went straight to Weiyang palace.

By this time it was completely dark.

Palace lanterns are lit up. They emit warm light in the vast night, like scattered starlight.

Xiao Xixi gently pinched the sachet and looked at the front without focus. She didn't know what she was thinking.

When the car stopped, Ganfu's voice sounded again.

"Mother, here we are."

Xiao Xi took the hand of the Baoqin and walked slowly out of the sedan.

Looking up, I saw the majestic Weiyang palace in front of me.

This is the largest palace in the whole imperial palace. It represents supreme power and is the Holy Land yearned for by countless people.

But in Xiao Xi's eyes, it is more like a beast with a big mouth.

It seems that it can devour people at any time.

It's a little cold on autumn nights.

Baoqin shook off her cloak and put it on Xiaoxi.

Gan Fu led the way with lanterns, followed by Xiao Xi and Baoqin.

After taking two steps, Ganfu stopped again and turned back to remind him.

"The emperor only said he wanted to see concubine Xiao. He also hoped that Baoqin girl would stay."

Baoqin had to stop and watched concubine Xiao go away. Her slender figure was completely swallowed up by Weiyang palace.

Weiyang palace is very quiet.

Occasionally, palace maids and eunuchs passed by, and their footsteps were so light that they could hardly hear a sound.

When they saw concubine Xiao, they were only slightly blessed and kept silent.

This is Xiao Xi's first visit to Weiyang palace.

She felt that the feeling here was very similar to that of jiaofangdian, with a biting coldness.

It's like a coffin. It's easy to suffocate after a long time.

Ganfu knocked on the door of the bedroom hall.

"Your Majesty, concubine Xiao is coming."

After a while, the door was opened, and a palace maid blessed concubine Xiao.

"Your Majesty, please go in."

Xiao Xi walked into the bedroom hall and saw the emperor leaning on the soft couch.

The emperor's hair was loose, most of his hair was white, his face was haggard, his cheeks were slightly sunken and his face was pale.

Looks older than when we last met.

Xiao Xixi knelt down: "I shouldn't raise chickens and vegetables in the palace. I ruined the image of the east palace. I'm willing to be punished."

The emperor said hoarsely, "you really did wrong. How can you be so reckless in the important place of the imperial palace?"

"My concubine has cleaned up all the vegetable gardens and poultry, and I promise I won't do it again in the future."

Emperor: "for your good attitude of admitting your mistake, I will give you a lighter punishment this time."

He coughed again and then went on.

"In the past two years, the great prosperity Dynasty has been plagued by chaos.

First, Qin Chong rebelled against the Xiling palace, then king Youwang set up troops in Xiling County, and the state of Liao also intervened.

Countless people died.

Since you are free to raise chickens and vegetables in the palace, you might as well copy the Buddhist scriptures.

You copy it 800 times first.

After copying, I will send the copied Buddhist scriptures to Shengguang temple.

Burn to the innocent people who died in vain, so as to surpass their souls. "

Xiao Xixi felt numb when she heard that she was going to copy the Buddhist scriptures.

Copying books is so tired!

She doesn't want to copy books!

But she was not qualified to refuse, so she had to bite the bullet.

"Yes, my concubine."

The emperor asked someone to bring a set of "Di Zang Jing".

"You copy in Weiyang palace. When you finish copying and when you can leave."

With that, he closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Gan Fu said, "Your Majesty is tired. Please follow the slave."

Xiao Xi walked out of the bedroom with a heavy Buddhist book.

Ganfu led her into a guest room.

Xiao Xixi put down the Sutra, rubbed his arm and asked, "where's the Baoqin?"

Gan Fu: "don't worry, my lady. I'll let someone send Baoqin girl back to Qingge hall."
