Chapter 4: Life in the Deep Palace
"Come in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qin Siyang said in a deep voice.
As the sound fell, the door of the temple was silently pushed open, and a person quietly walked into the hall.
This person is tall, half of his face is covered by a black veil, and he is the prince's personal guard, and he is called a fluttering guard in the palace. In fact, he is the second disciple of Yuntianmen, the second senior brother of Liu Shuangli, whose name is Wei Hua, and his expression is simple.
Wei Hua silently walked around the screen to the bed, bowed down and said goodbye.
Qin Siyang half-stood up, looking at Wei Hua's eyes, although his eyes flashed with begging, the words he asked were as indifferent as his usual indifference: "Is there one?"
Wei Hua nodded: "This time there will be a return." As he spoke, he took out an inseparable letter from his bosom and presented it to Qin Siyang with both hands.
When Qin Siyang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and without waiting for Wei Hua to come forward, he lifted the brocade quilt and jumped out of bed, without wearing shoes, stepping on the smooth gold bricks like a mirror with his bare feet, and eagerly accepted the letter.
But Qin Siyang, who eagerly accepted the secret letter, did not immediately open it to look at it, but trotted to the table next to him barefoot, and took out a luxurious brocade box with a gilded gold shell from the drawer under the table.
The brocade box is very large, five inches wide and high. When I opened it and looked inside, there was only a small white lacquered porcelain vase and a small brush in an ordinary style.
I saw Qin Siyang take out the porcelain vase in the brocade box, sit at the table, take out the letterhead, and spread it out in front of the table.
There was not a word on the spread out letterhead, and it was blank.
Qin Siyang took out the stopper of the porcelain bottle, slowly poured out a few drops of cyan water from the inside, and then took the brush and gently flattened these drops onto the entire letterhead.
After a while, I saw that the letterhead touched by the water-blue juice droplets showed small light ink-colored characters little by little.
The words that appear look slender and not lacking in toughness, which Qin Siyang is all too familiar with, and it is the font that will surround his mind in his sleep.
Qin Siyang read the letter word by word with joy on his face, and after reading it, he half-opened his eyes and savored it for a long time, and then read the letter again. Seeing that the words on the letterhead began to blur, he folded the letterhead back and put it in the envelope.
Putting the luxurious brocade box back into the drawer under the table, Qin Siyang clinged to the letter that looked empty on the surface, got up and turned to the bed barefoot. Then to the head of the bed, I took a brocade surface with a brocade surface carved with a dragon and a cloud.
This brocade box is wider and taller than the previous bottling brush, and there is a lock on it. Qin Siyang went to his underwear and took out the key tied to his neck and opened the brocade box.
On the upper layer of this brocade box, there is the prince's Jinbao seal, take out the compartment of the upper layer, and then look at the lower layer, but there is a pile of letters neatly stacked, and there are some children's silk handkerchiefs, purses, fans, and a few common clay figures on the streets.
Wei Hua couldn't help frowning when he looked at the contents of the brocade box, it wasn't the first time he saw him, the prince, open the brocade box, nor was it the first time he saw the prince put his most important Jinbao seal and his little sister's old things together and store them. But every time I saw it, I couldn't help frowning and sighing, and I couldn't help but glance at the Mingyue Sword given by his little sister who was placed at the head of the bed with the brocade box. Xindao, if this Mingyue sword can be placed in the brocade box, it is estimated that he, the crown prince, will also lock the sword in the brocade box so that no one can see it.
Wei Hua watched Qin Siyang fold Shicai's letter into the brocade and lock it, and then sat on the bed and turned to face him, he bowed respectfully again and asked, "When my subordinates entered the palace today, I heard that His Royal Highness was pushed down in the rain by the second princess, I don't know what happened?"
Qin Siyang snorted coldly and said, "It's only been a long time since the incident happened, and you actually heard it, the news can spread so fast." ”
Wei Hua lowered his head and replied: "The subordinates are just the tips of their ears, and they are surprised to hear some discussions from the people in the palace on the way here. Is Your Highness really okay?"
Qin Siyang waved his hand and said, "It's okay." It's just that the second princess is a wayward nonsense, don't mention it to Han Sangongzi, let alone let Shuangli know, do you hear? ”
Wei Hua lowered his hand and agreed: "Yes." After a moment, he saw that Qin Siyang no longer spoke, just raised his head and thought about something, and couldn't help but say: "The subordinates are curious, with His Royal Highness's skills, how could he be pushed down by the second princess?"
Qin Siyang straightened his face and stared at Wei Hua and said, "So what." ”
"Your Highness!" Wei Hua bowed his head.
Qin Siyang snorted coldly: "Let them think that I am weak and can be bullied, what's wrong with this." ”
Wei Hua lowered his hands and frowned: "Is Your Highness too obscure?" ”
"Light, obscure, hehe," Qin Siyang sneered, "How bright do you think I am?"
Wei Hua frowned and said, "Why should Your Highness come here again. ”
Qin Siyang waved his hand, and was about to say something more, when he suddenly saw Wei Hua raise his hand and make a silent movement, turning his head to look at the window on the left.
The window on the left side was not against the bed curtain, so the wind could not blow the resting people, but it was hidden and unlocked, and anyone could peek in from there.
As soon as Qin Siyang saw Wei Hua looking there, he immediately became alert, and listened carefully, and immediately felt a small sound coming from outside the window sill on the left, as if someone was crawling outside the window.
Qin Siyang's face immediately changed, he waved his hand to Wei Hua, and he quickly lay back on the bed and covered the quilt.
Wei Hua also nodded lightly to Qin Siyang, and then his figure turned, and he immediately flashed into the compartment of the inner hall and hid himself.
The window on the left side was gently pushed open from the outside after Wei Hua was hidden. Qin Siyang lay on the bed and didn't dare to make such a move. Because the bed was not facing the window, he could not see any change in the window when it was pushed open, but by listening to the voice, he could hear a man crawling in lightly from the window that he had pushed open.
The man who climbed in through the window, as soon as he entered the temple, did not stop, but walked quickly to the bed.
Qin Siyang listened to the voice, and didn't dare to make any movements, closing his eyes tightly and pretending to be asleep.
I heard the sound of footsteps and walked to the front and back of the bed, and stopped. After a while, Qin Siyang felt someone leaning towards the head of his bed.
The sound of panting and rough breathing made Qin Siyang feel that something was wrong. Just when he half-opened his eyes and looked, a soft voice came: "Seventh brother, are you okay?"
Qin Siyang was taken aback, opened his eyes completely, and saw a pair of eyes as clear as a crescent moon.
"Seventh brother, you're awake. The thin voice carried an unconcealed excitement.
"Fifth sister?" Qin Siyang said in surprise.
"Well, it's me, Seventh Brother. The little girl shook her head and winked and laughed.
"How did you get here, if the queen mother knew......"
"The queen mother doesn't know, the second sister doesn't know, and the palace maids don't know. The little girl blinked and said proudly, "Seventh brother, I sneaked in through that window." As she spoke, she gestured to the window on the left.
Of course, Qin Siyang knew where she had crawled in, but he still showed a look of great surprise, and said to the little girl, "Fifth sister, you-how can you be like this." ”
Although there is also a verandah around the hall under the window sill on the left, after all, the other side is close to the courtyard wall, and the rainwater drips on the green tiles with enough force to splash on people.
Look at the little girl's body on the right side, it is clearly wet. This makes people ask, how to explain it.
Facing Qin Siyang's questioning, the little girl shook her head and said with a look of reluctance to think about it: "I want to come to see the seventh brother, but the second sister won't let me, so I can only come so secretly." Saying that, she leaned back to the head of the bed, held Qin Siyang's hand across the brocade quilt, and said with a worried face, "Seventh brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just a little rain, nothing. Qin Siyang shook his head and said.
"Is it really okay?" The little girl looked at Qin Siyang's face with a questioning gaze, and reached over uneasily, touched his forehead, and didn't feel excessive heat, so she nodded, "It's okay that Seventh Brother is fine, well, it's fine." ”
"Fifth sister, go back. Qin Siyang urged.
The little girl shook her head, lowered her head, and said a little sadly: "Second sister was really good just now, seventh brother, don't be sad, okay." I didn't want my second sister to be like that, but - but I couldn't stop her, I - I couldn't stop her even the queen mother. When I came just now, I also heard the queen mother scolding the second sister, but she didn't care about it at all, and she didn't care. The queen mother can't help her. Seventh brother, you-don't be sad, don't pay attention to the second sister, it's all her fault, well, you're good, you're good. ”
"I ignored the second imperial sister. Qin Siyang frowned.
"Well, yes, it's good to ignore the seventh brother, the seventh brother is good. Jing'er, Jing'er has been praying for the seventh brother, and the seventh brother will be fine. The little girl said eagerly, and held Qin Siyang's hand through the brocade quilt.
Qin Siyang frowned tightly and stared at the eager little girl. He didn't say anything, because he didn't understand what he, the fifth sister, was going to say.
I saw that the little girl blinked her bright eyes, staring at Qin Siyang closely, the eager look on her face was even more expressive, without the smile she had when she first arrived, she seemed to be deeply troubled by something at this moment, and she couldn't rest assured if she didn't look at Qin Siyang like this.
"Seventh brother will be fine, will be fine. Listening to the little girl's repeated words, she seemed to be praying to the heavens.
"Fifth sister. After waiting for a long time, seeing that he still hadn't stopped, Qin Siyang had to interrupt the little girl's prayer.
"Seventh brother," the little girl suddenly aggravated her tone and said with a serious face, "Jing'er will always bless Seventh Brother, and Seventh Brother will also be well, always accompany Jing'er, okay?"
"Oh. Qin Siyang replied vaguely.
The little girl was not at ease and asked again: "Seventh brother wants to promise Jing'er." ”
Qin Siyang sighed: "Fifth sister, you should go back." ”
"Seventh brother," the little girl called with another eager face, "you promised, you won't be like the big brother and them, and suddenly leave Jing'er." ”
"Ugh. Qin Siyang seemed to understand what the little girl was worried about.
"The eldest brother and they all left suddenly, only the sixth brother was there all the time, but he didn't pay attention to Jing'er at all, and Jing'er couldn't find him. The little girl said sadly, her bright eyes as bright as a crescent moon looked at Qin Siyang, and pleaded, "Seventh brother, don't be like them, okay, okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't be like them. After a long time, Qin Siyang promised.
The little girl didn't seem to be at ease, so she chased after Qin Siyang and asked a few more times, and when she saw that he answered seriously and promised to be cautious, she relaxed a little. After that, under Qin Siyang's repeated urging, he reluctantly got up and left. Afraid that people would find out, he still climbed out of the window on the left. Regarding this, Qin Siyang couldn't force the little girl, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he let her go. (To be continued.) )
