Chapter 13: Heavenly Machines (1)
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect you to drink so well!" As soon as I opened my hazy sleepy eyes, Wanyun smiled and handed me a cup of hot tea. The sun outside the tent was already in the west, and when I woke up, I felt that my head was burned badly by alcohol, and my throat felt like it was going to smoke.
I took the cup and waved my hand at Wanyun and said, "Okay, don't laugh at me." "I only remember that bowl of wine went down, and the whole person immediately became delirious, as if Wanyun helped me back, and I seemed to vomit on the way, and my stomach is still churning until now.
"But the poem made by my sister at the banquet is really good, and everyone admires it. I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart, but I still pretended to be calm, and pretended to be modest, and said, "Just talking nonsense, so that you can see and laugh." Although he said this, his heart was already happy.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, you are humble," Wanyun looked at me adoringly from the side and said, "If only I were as talented as my sister." "Sister, you dance very well, everyone wants to envy it. I hurriedly comforted her.
"Really?" Wanyun was very excited when I said this: "Sister, when your injuries are healed, I will teach you to dance, will you teach me to write poetry?" "Okay, good!" I also agree with Wanyun's idea, and I can't wait for the day when I use my dancing skills to conquer the world.
After dinner, Wanyun rested early, but I was still full of energy after sleeping all afternoon, lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, so I simply put on my clothes and crept out of the tent. The moon and stars were scarce, and the breeze swept through the valley, bringing a little coolness, and my spirits were lifted, and I wandered around the barracks.
Suddenly very curious, I looked in from a distance, the door of the tent was closed, I didn't know what he was doing, but the bright lights in the tent reminded me that he hadn't slept yet.
"Miss Feng! Miss Feng!" I was in a daze, when I suddenly heard someone calling me behind me, with a hurry in my voice, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Xiao Wu, the guard who had been in charge of our meals. "What's the matter, Xiao Wu, is there anything to do with me?" I asked suspiciously, seeing his anxious look.
"Miss Feng, can you help the villain, help me send this supper to the prince, villain... Villain... Ouch. Seeing that he was stomping his feet in a hurry, I burst out laughing and took the tray he was holding: "Okay, no problem." "Then thank you!" Xiao Wu turned around and ran away after thanking him for the amnesty.
When I explained my intentions, the soldiers on guard did not stop me, so I did not encounter any trouble when I entered the door. As soon as I entered the gate, I regretted it, when Wanyun and I came here to find Yuan Zhize, the experience of being blasted out is still fresh in my memory, and today he will not be mad again when he sees me, right?
The thought of his fierce appearance made my legs shiver involuntarily. Alas, I blame myself for being hot-headed at the time, and I didn't even think about it, so why should I really do it?
After much deliberation, I decided to quietly observe the situation inside, and if it was only him, I would send him in, and if there were many people in the meeting like that time, then I would have to run away first. Having made up my mind, I slowed down and crept closer to the tent.
It's close, but I still haven't heard a sound inside, so he must be the only one inside?" I thought to myself. But to make sure, I leaned down and went through the gap between the two tent doors to reconnoiter the situation.
That's right, there was really only Yuan Zhize in it, at this time he was sitting at the table and leaning over to write, under the illumination of the candlelight, his whole person seemed to be draped in a golden veil, hazy but did not hide his own elegant and noble temperament.
Seeing that he frowned for a while and made a look of hard thought, and then leaned down and began to write hard, I can't associate him with the commander who commands thousands of troops and horses, and he doesn't look like a prince at all, but like a weak scholar.
I was looking at Yuan Zhize thinking wildly, who knew that Yuan Zhize seemed to have noticed something, raised his head suddenly, and his sharp eyes stabbed me to his senses like a sharp sword, Feng Xiaoxiao, Feng Xiaoxiao, are you here to see a handsome guy? Why did you even forget the purpose of coming here?
"Who!" I heard an angry roar from inside the tent, and the door of the tent was slammed open, and a huge body that was a head taller than me instantly shrouded me in his dark shadow. "Is it you?" Just when I was speechless because of fear, it was Yuan Zhize who came to his senses first.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong!" "Lord Wang, are you okay?" A group of guards who had been guarding the door also swarmed in, surrounding the Chinese military tent, they originally thought that there was a spies breaking in, but they didn't expect to bump into the two of us standing opposite each other, and couldn't help but be stunned in place. "It's okay, let's go back first. Yuan Zhize said, and the guards dispersed one after another.
Seeing that I was still dumbfounded, Yuan Zhize realized that I was scared stupid, changed his previous stern tone, and asked softly: "What are you doing here?" "Oh...", I hurriedly raised my hand and presented the tray in front of Yuan Zhize: "Xiao Wu was in a hurry just now, let me send the supper to the prince for him." ”
Yuan Zhize took a long breath and asked helplessly: "Since you send supper, can't you just send it over? Am I not afraid that it will affect the prince's handling of military affairs?" I hurriedly defended myself. "Oh, I see. Yuan Zhize completely understood, a few smiles appeared on his face, and a gap flashed on one side of his body and said, "Send it in, just put it on the table." ”
I reluctantly slipped into the tent and placed the tray gently in the corner of my desk, which was densely covered with paper and looked very messy, and among the piles of written papers, the top piece of yellow paper stood out, with a long ink streak on it, which seemed to suggest something. I bent down slightly, and sure enough, a brush was lying alone on the ground in front of me on the left.
"Shicai frightened the prince, and also stained the prince's paper and pen, please forgive the prince. I picked up the pen on the ground, brushed the dust off it with a handkerchief, put it back on the pen stand, and apologized to Yuan Zhize with an apologetic face. "It's fine. Yuan Zhize replied lightly, walked to the table, crumpled the stained paper, and threw it into the paper basket on the side.
"If the prince has no other orders, then I will go down first. "Seeing that he didn't seem angry, I was glad once again that I didn't die. "Well, let's go back and rest early. Yuan Zhize sat at the table without raising his head, and began to study the pile of papers in front of him again.
"Lord Wang..."Seeing his tired face, I suddenly felt a little sorry for this man. "Is there anything else?" Yuan Zhize raised his head and asked suspiciously. "It's not early, you should rest early..."In the face of my concern, Yuan Zhize smiled politely, then ignored me, lowered his head and began to busy his own affairs, I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart, and turned around to leave here.
"Wait a minute!" was just as I was about to go out, Yuan Zhize suddenly called out to me. "Come over first, I've got something for you. ”
