Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Ning Qian raised her eyes to look at the new maid who came in. The maid was petite, but her eyes were very watery, and she kept looking at Ning Qian.

Ning Qian smiled slightly and asked softly, "What's your name?"

The palace maid seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then she smiled brightly, her brows and eyes lit up in an instant: "The maidservant's name is Bai Su." After a pause, she looked at Ning Qian boldly, "Your Majesty looks really good. nice."

Ning Qian couldn't help laughing, "You can talk."

After Ning Qian finished speaking, she lowered her head and looked at the book in her hand. There was a moment of silence in the hall before Ning Qian ordered softly: "The tea is getting cold, go and help me make another pot of tea."

That Bai Su nodded lightly, then took the teapot on the table, and happily left the bedroom.

Ning Qian stood up, first went to the desk, wrote a note, threw it under the bed, then walked to the makeup coffin, took out a hibiscus hairpin, took off the flower head of the hairpin, and carefully opened it from inside. Some white powder poured out and hid in the nail cap.

After finishing all this, he put the hairpin back again. He walked to the soft edge and sat down, turning the pages of the book in his hand with his usual expression. When Ning Qian heard a light cough from under the bed, she felt confident.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside again, the door curtain was opened, and the sound of beads colliding was extraordinarily crisp.

"Your Majesty, the tea is ready." Bai Su's voice was still slightly smiling, and his footsteps seemed very brisk.

Ning Qian nodded slightly, watching Bai Su put the teapot on the table, and took out a teacup to help Ning Qian refill the tea. Ning Qian raised her eyes and smiled slightly at Bai Su, then took a teacup from the side, poured the tea with her own hands, and pushed it in front of Bai Su with a smile, "You don't have to be so formal in this Xiangzhu Palace, you are so stern Sister Qingdai who is silent is not here, so you can sit down and have a cup of tea together. Now I can't even find a tea drinker..." Then he sighed softly.

After Ning Qian finished speaking, she lowered her head again, her eyes fell on the book in her hand, she casually picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Bai Su glanced at Ning Qian, thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Sister Qingdai's temperament is like that, Madam, don't mind." Then, he picked up the tea that Ning Qian had poured for her, Unceremoniously, the cow took a big sip.

The corner of Ning Qian's mouth curled up slightly, "I never blamed her." But she was counting secretly in her heart, ten, nine, eight...

Before counting to one, the eyes from the corner of his eyes saw that Bai Su's body softened and fell to the side. Ning Qian was afraid that the sound would disturb the people outside, so she quickly caught Bai Su's body.

Then she lowered her head, took off Bai Su's clothes, and then pushed Bai Su under the bed, Qian Yan quickly turned over from under the bed.

...

When Qing Dai returned to the Xiangzhu Hall, Ning Qian was still sitting on the soft couch reading a book, her posture was still exactly the same as when she left, as if she hadn't moved a bit. Standing beside Ning Qian, Bai Su rolled his eyes, seeing Qing Dai enter the room, he smiled brightly, "Sister Qing Dai is back?"

Qing Dai saw Ning Qian frowned slightly, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Bai Su's sudden utterance. With a cold snort in her heart, Qing Dai raised her eyes to Bai Su and said, "You should step back first."

Bai Su nodded with a smile, bowed to Ning Qian, and left the bedroom.

After Bai Su left, the bedroom fell silent, Qing Dai stood motionless, Ning Qian casually flipped through the books, and after a while, they stopped moving.

Qing Dai turned her head to look at Ning Qian, but saw that she seemed to have fallen asleep, her hand holding the book was hanging aside, and her brows were slightly frowned.

Qing Dai stood for a while, seeing that Ning Qian showed no signs of waking up, thinking that it would be lunch time soon, she left the bedroom and ordered someone to prepare lunch.

The Xiangzhu Palace was calm and calm, except that the concubine Xiang seemed to be extraordinarily quiet today, and she didn't even say a word for most of the day. It's just that apart from not talking, there is nothing wrong with it, so Qing Dai doesn't care about it.

The weather has begun to gradually heat up, but the palace is a little more deserted than usual. The empress is sick and recuperating, and the harem is co-led by Concubine Xiang and Concubine Shu, but unexpectedly, Concubine Xiang conceived in Weiyang Palace.

His Majesty was furious and arrested all the palace servants in Weiyang Palace, and the queen was also imprisoned in Weiyang Palace. Concubine Xiang was conceived, so she had to stay in confinement, and His Majesty also ordered that no one should disturb her. For a while, Concubine Shu was the only one in the palace, but no one expected it.

The preparations for the Spring Equinox sacrifice ceremony also fell on Concubine Shu.

Fortunately, Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years, and she has assisted the queen in preparing a lot of palace banquets and ceremonies. Although she was busy, she did not have any troubles.

On the day of the spring equinox sacrifice, all civil and military officials waited under the Temple of Heaven early, waiting for the sacrifice to begin.

This year, due to the Queen's inability to attend, Xia Huanyu and Concubine Shen Shu will officiate.

The Temple of Heaven is outside the palace, right between the inner palace and the south gate of Jincheng, Xia Huanyu and Concubine Shen Shu took the carriage first, drank a glass of blessing wine with the common people on the tower, and then went to the Temple of Heaven.

When the auspicious time came, Xia Huanyu and Concubine Shu walked up the steps of the Temple of Heaven together, walking up step by step.

On the Temple of Heaven, more than a dozen monks sat in a circle, reciting scriptures.

Xia Huanyu walked to the top of the Temple of Heaven, took the incense from the priest's hand, turned around, bowed to heaven and earth, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The priest handed over the wine bottle again. Xia Huanyu pursed his lips lightly, tasted the wine in the glass, took the willow branch, dipped the remaining wine in the wine bottle and spilled it on the ground.

The priest opened his mouth, and the sound was like a bell, knocking straight into everyone's ears: "Play music."

The music sounded, resounding throughout the Temple of Heaven, but the priest's voice overwhelmed the music: "The Emperor's Sacrificial Words."

Xia Huanyu bowed three times before opening his mouth: "Husband..." He stopped abruptly as soon as he uttered a single word. All the officials under the Temple of Heaven didn't know what happened, but they suddenly heard Concubine Shen Shu's voice. A scream sounded above the Temple of Heaven, "Ah..."

Everyone's expressions froze, and before they recovered, they saw Xia Huanyu fall to the ground suddenly.

All of a sudden, all the officials under the Temple of Heaven were in chaos. Liu Wen'an, who was guarding under the Temple of Heaven, and a group of hidden guards rushed towards the top of the Temple of Heaven, but all the monks sitting on the ground stood up. When he got up, one of the small monks rushed forward, raised his hand and grabbed Xia Huanyu in front of him, holding a dagger in his hand, and looked at everyone coldly: "If you go one step further , and I killed him."

As soon as the voice came out, everyone froze in place. They never thought that the monk's voice was a woman's. And many people under the Temple of Heaven have already heard who the voice came from.

"Eldest princess?" Everyone was full of suspicion, but Xia Huanyu's life was in her hands, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

The group of monks surrounded the little monk who was holding Xia Huanyu hostage in the middle. The little monk's face was a little old, and he also had nine scars on his head. He could faintly hear her being mentioned in the discussion below. Then he laughed loudly, "Yes, it is my princess. No, from today onwards, maybe this princess will be your majesty."

The voice below became louder and louder.

The eldest princess also laughed happily: "You never thought that this princess would appear here, did you? Before the death of the late emperor, he said many times that if this princess was born as a man, this country must belong to her. Then It is because this princess is not a man, so I lost the chance to become the throne. Today, this princess wants to tell you, what happened to women? Women can still be emperors!"

Laughing and laughing, the voice became more and more sharp, and it seemed a bit crazy.

"I'm afraid there are still many of you who look down on women, but this princess tells you that around the Temple of Heaven, this princess has already buried the sky. If any of you don't want to support this princess as emperor, today is the time for you. You don’t have to leave here.”

There was chaos below, the dark guard and Liu Wen'an also blushed anxiously, intending to rush to the rooftop. The eldest princess smiled coldly, and jerked the dagger in her hand, leaving a deep mark on Xia Huanyu's neck, and blood dripped down along the dagger.

The eldest princess looked at the blood dripping from the dagger, her eyes were full of madness, and she laughed loudly: "Xia Huanyu is going to die, this country of Xia is my world now, it is my world, Xia Xiangru's!"

The hidden guards were about to move, the eldest princess stopped her smile, looked coldly at Liu Wen'an and the hidden guards below, clapped her hands suddenly, and crawled up from outside the wall of the Temple of Heaven to touch hundreds of people, all dressed in black. Clothes and pants, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, aimed at the people inside.

The eldest princess said coldly: "Whoever is willing to support this princess as emperor will withdraw from the Temple of Heaven by himself. I will count to ten, and those who have not withdrawn will be ordered by this princess to be shot to death with random arrows!"

Concubine Shen Shu, who was kneeling on the Temple of Heaven, moved slightly, and the eldest princess looked towards her, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Concubine Shu, if there is no Concubine Shu, this princess would not be able to get along so easily. Come in and set up the game. It's just Concubine Shu, you don't have to leave today, just stay here."

A look of disbelief flashed in Concubine Shen Shu's eyes, and she suddenly raised her eyes to look at the eldest princess: "Your highness, your highness didn't say that before. The reason why I am willing to cooperate with your highness and the seventh prince is because the two agreed If you leave this Palace, you will stay in this Palace, and you will leave King Qi alive. Could it be that the Eldest Princess wants to betray our pact?"

Hearing what Concubine Shen Shu said, the eldest princess laughed again, with a bit of contempt in her laugh: "It is said that Concubine Shen Shu is a smart person, but I don't expect that there are times when she is so stupid. This palace deliberately chose this time to act , it is because Prince Rui is not here now, and the Seventh Prince is not here, the throne must belong to this palace, how could I let King Qi go, and make this palace unhappy for nothing. The reason why the child blamed the queen was just to allow you to arrange today's sacrifice, and now you are useless, I know the truth of cutting grass and roots, you and King Qi, neither of you can run away."\u003c
