It was just some kerosene put into the stamens of the ice flower, it was very well hidden, if I hadn't seen it in my previous life, I really wouldn't be able to perform this little magic trick. (
Feng Yuheng has never been good at this kind of thing, but her knowledge is always better than these girls. A flower of ice and flame successfully made her stand out from these seventeen girls.
"What's your name?" the woman who taught her illusion asked her with a smile on her face.
Feng Yuheng said: "My name is Fu Ya."
"Fu Ya, very good. Among the seventeen of you, only ten will be able to follow the illusionists into the Winter Palace tomorrow. You are one of them. The remaining nine will depend on your performance. I'll give you one hour. If you have learned it, come to the front hall to find me."
After the woman finished speaking, she followed the young man into the house, and the girls in the yard began a new round of urging Binghuahuo.
Feng Yuheng took her ice flower and found a place to sit down nearby. The girl immediately had two people come over. She recognized that these two people were the ones who went to the illusion hall with Xiaoya to register yesterday. One of them persuaded Xiaoya for a long time. Yesterday, she exchanged Xiaoya's identity for the condition of curing Xiaoya's mother, so she was able to make this trip. But she was not afraid of anything else on this trip, but she was afraid of being recognized by the sisters that Xiaoya was familiar with.
However, it turned out that her worries were unnecessary. In her opinion, she was seven times similar to Xiaoya, but in the eyes of these girls, it was ten times. At most, "The rouge you used today must be different from the past, but it is more beautiful than before!" The one who spoke was the girl who persuaded Xiaoya to sign up here yesterday. She frowned slightly and asked her, "Today is New Year's Eve. Can your mother get off the **?"
Feng Yuheng's eyes dimmed, and he replied, "She can still cough, but she can't say more than a few words without coughing, and sometimes she can cough up blood. My father is afraid that she will get cold, and I'm not at home, so this year's New Year's Eve dinner will only be for the two of them, and most of the time they will just have one bite in front of my mother's bed."
"Alas." The girl sighed and told her, "Don't worry. You were the first one to conjure up fire just now. Sister Qi has agreed to take you to the Winter Palace, which means there will be a reward of silver. I heard it can be up to thirty taels. Before leaving this morning, I told my father to go to the Fu Mansion and give your father some frozen meat. We have a lot of it."
Feng Yuheng showed gratitude and thanked him repeatedly. She knew that the girl was called Shen Yuning and she and Xiaoya were sisters who had known each other for many years. Although Shen Yuning was also thinking about climbing up the high branch of Duanmu Anguo and wanted to be outstanding, she was kind by nature and had taken great care of the Fu family over the years.
The other one, named Zhang Lingxi, was just as unwilling to come to the Fantasy House as Xiaoya. However, her father was a greedy man and forced her to do everything she could to get into the Winter Palace. In this way, her family would no longer have to pay taxes.
Zhang Lingxi said to Feng Yuheng, "Xiaoya, please teach us how to create fire. You know, if I can't enter the Winter Palace, my father will beat me to death when I return home."
Feng Yuheng shook his head helplessly, but still taught them how to ignite the ice flower fire. The two of them sincerely admired Feng Yuheng's cleverness, and Shen Yuning even grabbed her wrist and said, "If the three of us can be selected as Winter Concubines after entering the Winter Palace, we must support each other in the future. I heard that the concubines in the Winter Palace are fighting to the death, and some people died in a nap."
Zhang Lingxi was so scared that she almost cried. Feng Yuheng's eyes flashed with a subtle light. Winter Concubine? This Duanmu Anguo is really the local emperor of the Northern Realm! He even prepared concubines for himself.
After Shen Yuning and Zhang Lingxi learned the Ice Flower Technique, they immediately went to the front hall to look for Sister Qi. The other girls who saw Feng Yuheng successfully teach them also gathered around and asked Feng Yuheng to teach them as well.
Feng Yuheng was very patient, explaining the principle over and over again, and many girls learned it from her teaching. Someone praised her: "Sister Xiaoya, you are really beautiful."
Someone immediately corrected her, saying, "The key is not good looks, but purity. Lord Duanmu likes pure and beautiful women the most, preferably those who are a little cold like you, Xiaoya. The more frosty the beauty, the more Lord Duanmu likes her. In my opinion, Xiaoya will definitely be chosen as the Winter Concubine in the Winter Palace tomorrow."
But at this moment, a sarcastic voice was suddenly heard. It was a female voice saying, "What's the big deal? It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, isn't it?"
Everyone turned around and saw three women walking towards them. The middle one looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with her chin slightly raised and a proud look on her face. She stopped when she got closer, then stared at Feng Yuheng and said, "You look so poor, and you still want to enter the Winter Palace with this appearance? You're dreaming!"
The girls present stopped talking. Feng Yuheng knew from the moment she saw the gesture that the other party must have someone to rely on, so she dared to act so arrogantly. But... "If the girl feels that she has the capital to be so arrogant, then she can say something more harsh. But I must remind you, have you ever measured how strong your backing is? I'm afraid it's a shoddy project, right? Otherwise, you could have directly entered the Winter Palace with the help of your backing. Why bother to come to the Illusion House and play this trick of saving the country in a roundabout way?"
Her few words immediately aroused the ambitions of the girls around her. Although they did not collectively denounce her, they were no longer afraid of her. At this time, Shen Yuning and Zhang Lingxi also returned here. When Shen Yuning saw this scene, she immediately said, "Who do I think it is? Isn't this Miss Qi? What? Do you think you are superior because you have a sister who is the Winter Concubine? Don't you think how long your sister hasn't sent money home? Or you should ask how long your sister hasn't seen Lord Duanmu." While ridiculing Feng Yuheng, she said, "Don't pay attention to her. I also saw this woman a few months ago when I went to someone else's house to listen to a meeting. At that time, she relied on her sister who was the Winter Concubine to stir up trouble everywhere." She turned her head and said, "Miss Qi, don't you think that in Songzhou City, at least one out of every ten households has someone in the Winter Palace. Do you still think your identity is fresh? You are really short-sighted."
Zhang Lingxi also spoke up, "Yes! There are too many Winter Concubines in the Winter Palace. They are all old and familiar with everything inside. We came later. Although we may not be able to get in yet, we should be united. If we are divided at this time, how will we stand after entering the Winter Palace?"
"Tsk." Zhang Lingxi's faint consolation had little effect. The young lady of the Qi family said in vain: "Who wants to stand with you? A bunch of poor people, it's strange that they can be selected."
Zhang Lingxi is not an impulsive person, she is a little calm and timid. But Shen Yuning is different, she is a troublemaker and she protects her children. Fu Ya is someone she has always protected, how could she be bullied by this Qi guy?
She was so angry that she reached out and pushed Miss Qi's shoulder. This push caused trouble. Miss Qi was similar to her, and she was also a person who would show her teeth and report things. When she saw Shen Yuning touching her, she immediately raised her hand, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were fighting.
The two girls who were accompanying Miss Qi also joined the group, and even Zhang Lingxi was implicated and received a beating.
Feng Yuheng frowned and finally couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he was ready to find a way to stop it. At this time, he heard Sister Qi's voice rise again, shouting angrily: "Illusion Pavilion is a place for you to fight? Have you all forgotten the rules here?"
Actually, there were no big rules in the Magic Hall. Those who were dishonest, disobedient, and not diligent in practicing would be punished by fetching water. There were dozens of half-person-high water tanks around the backyard. Those who were punished usually had to fetch ten full tanks of water every day. If they couldn't fetch fast enough, they would not be able to eat or sleep.
Feng Yuheng glared at the young lady from the Qi family, then took two steps forward and said, "This matter was entirely caused by the young lady from the Qi family and Xiaoya. Please punish them, Sister Qi."
Miss Qi cast her eyes towards Miss Qi, and she showed annoyance at a glance. When she looked at Feng Yuheng again, she showed approval. She nodded and said, "In that case, I will only punish you two. You--" She pointed at Miss Qi, "Go and fetch ten jars of water. Remember, you have to go to the ice well and break the ice to get water yourself." After that, she said to Feng Yuheng, "You, fetch five jars, but you don't need the ice well. Go, and remember to finish fetching before dark, otherwise you won't have dinner."
Miss Qi was unwilling to accept it, but she did not dare to disobey, so she could only stare at Feng Yuheng with a vicious look in her eyes.
A servant brought Feng Yuheng to a well, pointed at the well and told her: "You can draw water here. This is the only well in the Fantasy House that is not frozen." After saying this, he left in a hurry without waiting for her to answer.
Feng Yuheng stared at the well water for a while and found that bubbles occasionally came out of the well water, so she concluded that there should be running water below, with air circulation, so it was not frozen. But even so, it would take several hours to fill five tanks of water. That was someone with a foundation in martial arts like her. If Miss Qi wanted to fill ten tanks, it would probably be too late even if she did it by tomorrow morning.
She pursed her lips and smiled. That was not something she should consider. After all, she had a space to cheat. At worst, she could just get tap water from it and pour it in. That would save some effort. She just had to be careful not to be too obvious and be discovered.
As she was about to throw the bucket into the well, she suddenly saw a figure flashing behind her through the reflection of the well water. The figure disappeared the moment she reacted and tried to take a closer look. At the same time, a huge force came from behind her and hit her back. She didn't stand firmly, leaned forward, hit the edge of the well, and her feet left the ground, and she plunged into the well water. Mobile phone users please visit:
