Chapter 22: Overboard II
Wu Yan shook his head, indicating that he couldn't guess, Xia Ziyan opened his mouth to explain, but before he could speak, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, "You will never guess, because she secretly wore eunuch clothes, just to go to the Shangshi Bureau to steal food." Pen~fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info she said that it is too easy to be seen by people pretending to be a palace maid, and only pretending to be a eunuch is convenient and safe. ”
"I thought she was doing it for fun, but I didn't think it was for stealing. Your princess Dayong is the proud daughter of the sky, her status is noble, and she can't do whatever she wants, it seems that you Dayong has a lot of rules. ”
Xia Ziyan shook his head and said, "There are mountains, plains, lowlands, rivers and rivers in the world, there are thousands of birds and beasts living in the water, in the air, on the ground and underground, all things grow, and the fittest survive. It can't be said that we have many rules, but it can only be said that this is the right way for us to live. The country is big, if there are no rules, then the people don't know where to follow, the ministers don't know where to go, and the king doesn't know where to go......"
Wu Yan frowned and exclaimed, "You are so powerful, what you say makes sense, and it makes more sense to hear." It's the same as what our elders on the Tianshan Mountain said when they taught, they all understand what they said in the front, and they don't know anything in the back, and the only thing they know is that these words and these truths will turn into saliva and drown me. ”
Before he finished speaking, Wu Yan grimaced and said, "I can only use two words to describe you, that is Gao Shen, and add two more words, it is called unpredictable." ”
This shouldn't be described as unfathomable, but Xia Ziyan didn't say this, he looked at Wu Yan's grimace and pursed his lips to prevent himself from being amused. But he lowered his head, and when he looked up again, the expression on his face had returned to calm, only a pair of peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, and there seemed to be a trace of a smile remaining. Wu Yan saw it in his eyes, he didn't bother to poke him, he was only curious, "Then tell me, why did your little sister princess go to steal food?"
The topic turned back to Xia Hong, Xia Ziyan couldn't help but sigh and said, "You don't know, she is the youngest princess in the palace, she is deeply loved, and she has no worries about food and clothing. When she was ten years old, although she grew taller, she also grew horizontally. You don't see that when she is twelve years old, she can't be graceful, and she can barely accept it, but she can only be described as miserable. At the age of fifteen, the princess of Dayong will hold a ceremony, at that time, the princess who has been in the harem will go to the temple to worship the ancestors of the past dynasties, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, and accept the congratulations and blessings of the civil and military officials and the people. If we can't stop her momentum anymore, I'm afraid she's going to turn into a moving meat...... Fat, at that time, what kind of appearance can she appear in front of the world......"
They were bathed in the cold and empty moonlight, and Wu Yan looked up at Xia Ziyan, who couldn't help but smile as he described his little sister. These mocking words, which sounded like falling into a well, came out of his mouth at this time, revealing his doting on his little sister that he had not deliberately concealed, which shows that the two siblings have a close relationship and get along warmly on weekdays. The smile on his face was gentle and bright, and the moonlight that fell on him was also warm and soft. This kind of gentleness, she has seen it on Sister Ying's face when she was punished for causing trouble, she has also seen it on the face of Sister Ying's back when she is looking at it, and she has also seen it on her face when she is sick, when Ah Play takes care of herself, it is a kind of look that makes people feel stable and warm, real and beautiful, which cannot be disguised or concealed.
As if infected, a smile appeared on Wu Yan's face, and she asked, "And then?"
Her mother was forced to give her a fasting order in the palace. She told me that the food in her palace was not only monotonous, the food was tasteless, and it made people tremble just thinking about it, and the point was that she didn't know the taste of meat for a month. ”
"And then?"
She endured it for another month, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she put on eunuch clothes and ran to the Shangshi Bureau. ”
"And then?"
"What else can there be, and then, when she was found in the middle of eating and drinking, and when she was about to be pulled out and punished with a stick, she found out that it was actually a princess, and the important thing was that her wrists and arms were pinched red, and the faces of those palace people turned white with fright. ”
"And the last?"
In the end, they could only secretly tell the princess's upbringing, for which she was confined to the palace for a month. ”
Wu Yan laughed out loud, "Did her mother and queen father come to know?"
Hearing this, but in an instant, the expression on Xia Ziyan's face was obviously darkened, and the gentle smile disappeared in an instant. He looked into the distance, his face was cloudy, and after a long time, he patiently explained to Wu Yan, "Father won't know this, and he won't pay attention to it." Her mother is only a concubine, not a queen, she can only be called a concubine, and she cannot be called a queen mother. The princess was punished, and the upbringing grandmother had no right to order, which was nothing more than her mother ordering her to punish her by raising the mother's mouth. ”
Wu Yan nodded, and when he saw the change in the expression on Xia Ziyan's face, he immediately changed the topic and said with a smile, "Then I still rely on the blessing of the princess today, so that you, the hero, can help." In this way, I don't know if I should thank the princess or thank you. ”
"Naturally, you should thank me, because I am the one who rescues, and it is up to me to save or not to save. ”
Wu Yan read it carefully, suddenly realized, and exclaimed, "You said it, but in fact, it means that you didn't say anything." Your behavior can be described in four words, and it is called strong words. ”
The girl's voice was crisp, her face was beautiful, and her expression was lively, Xia Ziyan just talked to her for a while, watching her every move, as if she was infected by her vitality, and almost forgot the depression she had had a moment before. He saw Wu Yan take a step or two deep into the grass, and suddenly raised his hand and threw it forward, something broke away from her hand, only to hear a "poof" sound or two, and after the splash, it returned to calm. He didn't know what she was going to do, but when he saw her suddenly turn her face, her long eyelashes fluttering, and a happy and dancing shadow fell on her face, and a pair of black and white eyes looked at her brightly, and asked with a smile, "Will you be in the water?"
He was immersed in such a pretty smile, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but pull out a helpless smile for his distraction. But seeing that the girl was still walking deep into the grass, bending down to stir the weeds in the court, she did not know what she was looking for. He half-tilted his face and pondered her words, the word mentioned in these words ,—— "playing in the water"? What was it, he had never heard the master say this word, nor had he ever seen it in a book, could it be that it was some kind of folk entertainment? When he was a child, he had seen boys playing in the water, could this "playing in the water" mean fighting on the water? If this was the meaning, why did she ask herself if it was, it was really incomprehensible......
Xia Ziyan's mind turned so many thoughts at this moment, Wu Yan didn't know that she was thinking about picking up a slightly smoother stone at this time and making a beautiful water drift. The grass in the courtyard covered the courtyard floor, and in disrepair, the protective stone foundation on the shore of the water had already fallen off, and a piece of pond water eroded into the land on the shore, quietly ambushing at the feet of Wu Yan under the cover of weeds.
Wu Yan saw that there was silence behind him for a long time at this time, and he was puzzled, so he turned his head and glanced at it, but when he didn't want to be dual-minded, his feet slipped and he let out a sudden scream. Xia Ziyan saw her hand waving in the air, and then there was a huge sound of falling water. He stepped forward in three steps and two steps, but saw that Wu Yan was already sitting in the knee-high pool of water, looking up at his face with a crying and laughing expression.
