Chapter 100: They, Blocking the Palace Gate?
Ouyang Zhi's high-sounding words made me feel ashamed of him, if he hadn't provoked the peach blossom himself, how could his beautiful protector chase after me to take revenge on me, to put it bluntly, I am all thanks to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The royal brother didn't say anything more, and instructed Su'er to start packing up her things and prepare to return to the palace.
Ouyang Zhi and the imperial brother walked in front, and the two talked in a low voice, not knowing what they were talking about.
I walked behind with Su'er, Pei'er, Xiaoxue and Xiaoyinzi.
Xiaoxue has been pulling the corner of my clothes tightly and refusing to let go, for fear that I won't take her away if I let go.
The night began to close, and the lanterns of Guanlan Pavilion began to be lit up.
Out of the gate, the imperial brother arched his hand: "Brother Ouyang, stay here, Qi Xiao will leave!"
"Well, be careful all the way, and don't send it far. ”
The two of them are talking here, and over there, Su'er and Pei'er are holding hands, looking reluctant, and they have gotten along for a few days, and these two girls are quite good.
After saying goodbye to me sensationally, Su'er stood behind me with red eyes, and was ready to get into the carriage and go back to the palace.
The royal brother got into the carriage first, lifted the curtain and whispered to me, "Xue'er, it's time to go!"
I nodded at him and pulled Xiaoxue up and headed towards the carriage that the emperor was riding, while Su'er and Xiaoyinzi got into the other carriage.
"Feng Lingxue. Ouyang Zhi's voice sounded behind me, stopping me.
I unconsciously turned around, Ouyang Zhi stood in the evening breeze, his white robe fluttering in the wind, the warm candle flame reflected an expressionless handsome face, his eyes were like a concise moonlight, and his gaze fell directly on my face, which made me stunned.
Did he have something to say to me?
"Don't forget to approach ......," Ouyang stopped halfway through his words, just to remind me.
My heart rose and fell, nodded obediently, and muttered, "Don't worry." ”
I thought he would tell me to be careful, or something else to say. I didn't want to, but I was reminded not to forget to approach Long Yinxiu, and my mood plummeted.
No longer looking at him, he turned around and pulled Xiaoxue into the carriage.
The carriage drove through the streets, and from time to time the wind rushed in, bringing a slight coolness.
Lifting the curtains and looking out, the lights of thousands of homes invaded the cold night, and a crescent moon hung alone in the air, like a poor person.
I sighed softly at the moon, what I have experienced in my life, half of the sorrows and sorrows, I don't know where to go, I don't know where I came. It's not as good as grass and trees, and the season of withering glory is real.
"Sister, why are you sighing?" Xiaoxue also raised her little head and glanced at me, tilting her head.
I chuckled and rubbed her head, "It's nothing, it's just a little emotional to see the moon alone." ”
Before the words fell, a big hand fell on my shoulder, and the voice of the imperial brother came to mind in my ears: "Xue'er, with the imperial brother here, you will never be the lonely moon." ”
I looked at him in a daze, and there was a determined star in the eyes of the imperial brother, which flashed and fell into my heart.
Xiaoxue also took my hand, and her tone was as firm as the imperial brother, "Sister, you still have Xiaoxue." ”
I smiled with tears in my eyes.
For this reason, no matter what, I will do my best to protect them for the rest of their lives.
The carriage approached the palace gate, and through the curtain, he felt a firelight.
"What's going on?"
The voice of the imperial brother floated out through the curtain of the car, and the guard who drove the car heard it and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, it seems that Concubine Zhen and others are waiting to greet you at the gate of the palace." ”
After hearing this, my eyes narrowed, and I lifted the curtain to look at it.
There were hundreds of people standing at the gate of the palace, headed by Concubine Zhen, and the other concubines were lined up on the left and right. The palace people all carried palace lanterns, dozens of guards held torches high, and tongues of fire swayed in the wind.
I walked through the crowd, and there was no queen.
But looking at Concubine Zhen's posture, with so many guards, it seems that she is here to greet her, no matter how you look at it, it looks like she is blocking the palace door.
The closer our carriage got, the more I could feel the scorching heat from the torches through the curtains.
The guard said "Phew!", and the carriage came to a steady stop.
"The concubines and others welcome the emperor back to the palace!"
Concubine Zhen led everyone to kneel down in a loud voice, and then heard everyone outside shouting in unison: "Welcome the emperor back to the palace!"
I turned my head to look at the imperial brother, and saw that he had a calm face, and he sat still for a long time, and did not tell everyone to get up, but let them kneel.
The royal brother didn't speak, and I didn't bother to care, they kneeled if they liked to kneel, although they didn't know what their intentions were, but it would not be a good thing.
I leaned on the soft rest with my arms on my pillow, and said lazily to Xiaoxue, "If you are sleepy, lie down and sleep for a while." ”
The space in the carriage is still very large, it is not a problem for three people to lie down, and there are soft cushions, which are also comfortable.
Xiaoxue nodded obediently, shrunk beside me and fell asleep.
The imperial brother still didn't say a word, Concubine Zhen and the others outside knelt, didn't hear the imperial brother speak, they didn't dare to get up, so they had to kneel obediently, and occasionally they could hear other concubines complaining in a low voice, probably regretting following Concubine Zhen to wade into this troubled water.
The corners of my mouth hooked a chuckle, the royal brother did this on purpose, it seemed that they had to kneel for a while, so they yawned lazily and closed their eyes to recuperate.
I vaguely heard Concubine Zhen raise her voice and call tentatively: "Your Majesty, are you asleep?"
The smile on the corner of my mouth deepened, Concubine Zhen thought that the imperial brother was asleep and let them kneel, but I didn't know that someone was in good spirits at the moment, but he was angry, and for a while, I was afraid that Concubine Zhen would not be able to get up.
I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, I lifted the curtain and peeked out, and saw that Concubine Zhen and the others were still kneeling outside, lowered the curtain, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"An hour. The royal brother stretched lazily, and then continued: "If you are sleepy, sleep a little longer!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "They knelt for an hour?"
The imperial brother nodded and said in a deep voice: "This woman is too arrogant, give her some hardships, and you can relieve your anger." ”
The corners of my mouth twitched, it turned out that it was to relieve my anger! Isn't it too uncute for my imperial brother to treat his concubine like this?
But......
Since they are all kneeling, I don't mind if Concubine Zhen kneels for another hour. As I said, this girl will repay her kindness and revenge, and I will not do evil, but I am not a good person.
So he changed his position again, and lay down and squinted for a while.
A cool breeze poured into the carriage, as if someone had lifted the curtain, and the curtain was then closed.
I was woken up by the cool breeze, and when I opened my eyes, my brother had already gotten out of the car.
My arms were a little numb, and I changed my comfortable position, leaning back, staring out through the exposed slit in the curtain, listening carefully to their conversation.
"I'm sleepy, I've taken a nap, why is Concubine Ai kneeling here?"
"Concubine ......" Concubine Zhen felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to speak, so she had to swallow the original words and said, "The concubine specially came to welcome the emperor back to the palace." ”
"Oh?" the imperial brother raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little lower, "I didn't mention it to anyone when I left the palace today, I don't know how the concubine knew about it......?" Aren't you grounded?"
