After having lunch at Jinshuimen, Min Yuan led the two to say goodbye. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Before leaving, Yi Zhen pulled Yi Chen's sleeve and said pitifully: "You two must go to the flower banquet when the time comes, otherwise I will suffocate to death." ”
Yi Ying glanced at the three people standing aside, and the temperament of the three of them was probably the type that made Yi Zhen feel bored, and it was reasonable to pull them.
Yi Chen glanced at Yi Ying, and when he saw her smiling and nodding, he also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely go." ”
Yi Zhen smiled happily and watched their family leave.
The mighty convoy slowly drove away, and the people on the street hid to the side, secretly squinting and watching.
Yiying was in a good mood, chatting with Banyue while opening half of the curtain to look at the bustling streets of Kyoto.
The vendors selling sugar gourds and noodles shouted one after another, and they had all the strength to compete with each other, and under the overpass lay two or three beggars, and the women with baskets crossed their waists, and the old man with a sheep's beard who sold vegetables complained about how their fish was ten cents more expensive than those in the west, and the rows of restaurants and teahouses were connected to the end of the sight, revealing a little shadow of the Han River.
Such an ordinary thing makes her feel so intimate at the moment, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
Suddenly, an unusual commotion pulled her thoughts out of her nostalgia, and she frowned and followed the sound to the south of the convoy.
It was a wide north-south lane, and a convoy of honor guards no less than Min Won's was stationed there, but it didn't seem to be intentionally stopping there. She squinted and noticed an ox cart parked in front of the convoy, and a woman in palace clothes was scolding a little maid next to the ox cart.
It should be which princess traveled, the ox cart must have broken down, blocking their way, and it was just a battle of words, and the owner of the ox cart endured it and passed.
She had no intention of meddling in her affairs, and was about to lower the curtain when she saw an old woman dressed in fine cloth and without any jewelry come down from the ox cart with some difficulty, and bow to the palace maid, as if to apologize.
But the palace maid sneered, as if the princess had said something on the cart, and the palace maid said a few words flatteringly, and then walked to the cart, and when she walked to the ox cart, she already had a whip in her hand.
She frowned and said to the coachman, "Stop." ”
The coachman didn't know why, but he still stopped the car as he said, and was careful: "What's the matter, county lord?"
"I have something to do, you go and tell your mother to let them go first, and I'll go back later. She said lightly, picked up the curtain that had been prepared on the mat beside her, and put it on and got out of the carriage.
Half Moon hurriedly followed. Yiying quickened her pace, fortunately she was not far away, and before the palace maid was about to swing her whip, she said, "Stop!"
The palace maid glanced at her coldly, the movement in her hand paused, and she wanted to swing the whip again. Seeing this, Banyue stepped forward without saying a word and clamped the arm of the palace maid, and the palace maid couldn't move for a while.
Yi Ying glanced at Half Moon in surprise, the palace maid was much taller than Half Moon, but she didn't expect that the small Half Moon could restrain her.
Banyue was a little embarrassed: "The slave and maid have grown up in the village since they were children, and they have also done a lot of farm work, although they are not as good as men, their strength is much stronger than that of ordinary women." ”
The palace maid's face was blue and white for a while, as if she had never been treated so rudely, and she screamed: "Where did the little hooves come from, do you know who is sitting in this car, and dares to be so rude?"
As he spoke, the guards who accompanied him had already surrounded him, all of them looking at Yiying's master and servant with unkind faces.
Yiying glanced at Banyue approvingly, turned to the old woman, the master and servant, and was about to ask if she was safe, but when she saw the old woman's face, she was stunned.
When the little maid beside the old woman saw this posture, she was already trembling with fright, and she had to kneel down. The old woman's face was not good-looking, but she was quite calm, but she looked at Yiying who was wearing a curtain with a complicated face.
"Are you alright?" Yi Ying asked after stabilizing his mind.
The old woman was stunned, this voice sounded good, but it was also very young, she was just hesitating, not knowing whether the person who rescued the two of them had some support, or just an ordinary person who saw the road unevenly. Now it seems that it is most likely the latter, she glanced at the car with colorful silk threads, and sighed: "The trouble caused by my old wife will affect the girl." ”
Yiying heard this voice, and was more sure of the identity of the person in front of her, so she only smiled: "It's okay." ”
Seeing that Yiying didn't pay attention to her words at all, the palace maid was so anxious that she jumped to her feet: "The dog's eyes don't know Taishan's things, you ......"
Before she finished speaking, she heard a snap, and Half Moon gave her a slap with a cold face.
"Bold!" The people in the car finally couldn't sit still through the tulle, and said coldly. The guards on the side also drew their swords one after another, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Yiying was also stunned by Half Moon's actions, then smiled and beckoned Half Moon to his side. Half Moon came back to her senses, hesitated for a moment, but still walked over, her face was a little nervous, and she muttered: "County Lord, I'm sorry, slave ......"
Yi Ying waved her hand, not intending to reprimand her. Half Moon's eyes were slightly red, and she stood obediently behind Yiying.
Seeing this, the old woman's expression moved slightly, and her brow relaxed.
The palace maid was stunned, but at this moment she came back to her senses, and when she heard the title of Half Moon, she suddenly realized, and sneered: "No wonder you are so arrogant, it turned out to be a county lord, then you are playing the wrong place to play prestige, but the ...... is sitting in the car."
"It's a princess. Yiying said lightly.
"Knowing that this palace is a princess, you still dare to treat the maid of this palace like this, and I don't know which imperial uncle gave you such courage. The man in the car chuckled, his tone extremely cold.
"The princess is here today with the intention of whipping the old woman with a horsewhip, and she is not afraid that the Holy One will know about it, and will blame you for ignoring the royal face? ”
The people in the car choked, and their tone was slightly stiff: "Then it's not your turn, this palace is ......"
"The princess had better not be famous, lest the joke be known. As a cousin, I'm just a good idea, to give the princess a wake-up call, Half Moon. Yiying glanced at the maidservant.
Half Moon understood, walked to the car, whispered a few words, and took out a sign to show the people in the car.
The person in the car was silent for a while before reluctantly speaking: "Since it is my cousin's kindness, I don't care about them. The tone was much softer, and he no longer called himself the main palace.
Yiying nodded: "It's natural, cousin first, I'll go later." Then he pulled the half moon back, and the old woman and the two took a few steps back.
Seeing that his master had no idea of having anything to do, the spiritual guard ran over and pulled the broken ox cart to the side of the road.
