Chapter Seventy-One: Beekeeping
Your Majesty, Aunt Wan and His Royal Highness King Yi have already gone to the beekeeping road. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" The guards stood outside the study, which was still snowing.
Zhu Qiyu was practicing calligraphy, and when he heard the guard's words, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and the word "snow" fell on the snow-white rice paper, and a huge drop of black ink dropped on it. Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, and put the pen on the pen as if no one was washing it and put it on the pen stand. The guard outside the door was still waiting, "I know, you can go down." Zhu Qiyu opened his mouth and told everyone to retreat.
After a while, Zhu Qiyu's laughter came from the imperial study. "Father-in-law, the emperor is ......" The little eunuch who had just been transferred to the imperial study couldn't help but worry.
Cao Jixiang shook his head and sighed deeply, "This is not something we can manage. ”
"Wan Ruoxue, hahaha, Wan Ruoxue, you still chose to leave after all. You'd rather go to a place like the beekeeper than stay with me. Zhu Qiyu looked up to the sky in the imperial study and smiled, smiling and smiling, and couldn't help but feel sad and a little desolate.
Outside the palace, beekeeping is clamped. After Ruoxue took Zhu Jianshen out of the palace, Zhu Jianshen was in a trance along the way, and he was no longer as shrewd and willful as before.
Zhu Jianshen sat in the carriage, Ruoxue took out the pastries prepared in advance and put them in front of Zhu Jianshen: "Your Highness, let's use some snacks." Zhu Jianshen heard Ruoxue call him, and looked at Ruoxue blankly, his eyes were blank, "Sister, will we never be able to come back to this palace in the future?" ”
Ruoxue heard Zhu Jianshen's words, put the pastry plate in her hand aside and hugged Zhu Jianshen into her arms, stroking Zhu Jianshen's hair with her right hand, and the two were relatively speechless.
The beekeeping road, the sun has been slanting in the west, the snow has stopped, the two of them got off the sedan chair, stepping on the snow to make the sound of Susu, even more deserted. Due to the disrepair of the other garden, there are not one or two palace people here, only a couple who usually clean the house, Ruoxue sent Zhu Jianshen to the room, and called the husband and wife: "I and His Royal Highness King Yi asked to leave the palace, King Yi is young, and I will take care of my daily life, and you and your husband will take care of it in the outer courtyard."
"Do as my aunt tells me." The man looked tall and strong, like a man who could take care of things, and the woman looked too weak. "I don't care if the two of you report my actions with King Yi to some people, as long as it doesn't disturb my life with King Yi, I will go with you." Ruoxue's eyes swept the two of them, which made the husband and wife tremble.
"Yes, little one." Men and women bow to the ground. At this time, the sound of porcelain breaking and Zhu Jianshen's exclamation came from the inner room. Ruoxue hurriedly went into the house to check. I saw a huge mouse, "nourishing" the wall and escaping, which also scared Ruoxue. Zhu Jianshen jumped on the chair in fright, his face was bloodless, and the ground was in a mess.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Ruoxue hurriedly pulled Zhu Jianshen to check if he was injured. "Sister, sister, there's... There are rats! I.... I don't want to live here. It's remote and dilapidated, and it's not a place for people to live at all. Zhu Jianshen grabbed the corner of Ruoxue's clothes and stammered in fright.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It is said that there are rats where there is abundant crops, and it is not a good sign that Your Highness sees rats today. Ruoxue had no choice but to comfort.
"But, but, sister. Sister, I'm afraid. If it's a coincidence.... If you're still alive, you'll be able to help us catch mice! Zhu Jianshen cried loudly, and he kept stumbling when he spoke.
Ruoxue not only felt a sour feeling in her heart, but also burst into tears: "King Yi!" I heard my sister say that Qiao'er will protect us in the sky, you see that she knew to save us when she was alive, and now that she has gone to the sky to be a fairy, she will protect us even more, isn't it? ”
"Really? Sister? Qiao'er, will it protect us? Zhu Jian's tearful eyes were as bright as stars.
"It's true, Your Highness, do you remember the story of King Qin Zhaoxiang that Master Li told you?" Ruoxue squatted down, her eyes and Zhu Jianshen looked directly.
"Remember, the master said that King Qin Zhaoxiang also left the palace when he was a child and went to other countries." Zhu Jianshen looked at Ruoxue, swallowed back what he wanted to say, and then followed Ruoxue's words.
"King Qin Zhaoxiang, when he was young, knew how to endure humiliation and burdens, and cultivated power with his mother. Your Highness, why don't you learn from King Qin Zhaoxiang and break out of your own world? Ruoxue touched Zhu Jianshen's head and persuaded softly.
"Sister, Shen'er doesn't have a mother to accompany her, only her sister. My sister won't leave Shen'er, right? Zhu Jianshen's little face revealed a hint of expectation.
"Yes, Your Highness, the slave and maid will always accompany Your Highness, and Qiao'er will always guard us." Ruoxue looked at Zhu Jianshen's eyes full of expectation, thinking about Wan Wuchen, who was still waiting for her, and replied ruthlessly.
"Sister, Shen'er wants her sister to be with Shen'er forever." Zhu Jianshen pulled Ruoxue's sleeve and refused to let go. Ruoxue held Zhu Jianshen in her arms, looking at the desolate and barren scene around her, she couldn't help but think of her future life, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
The next day, Li Xian came to the beekeeping meccal road as usual to Xianyang Palace for daily teaching. Lord Li looked at the bleak scene in front of him, thinking about the young King Yi, and couldn't help but sigh a little, but he cheered up and walked into the room with a smile.
"Master Li is here. Your Highness is waiting in the study. Adult, please. Ruoxue lifted the curtain and invited Li Xian into the house. A simple room that was not very bright, with papier-mâché windows, blocking most of the light. The furniture was extremely rudimentary, except for a rough elm desk, only a round table of miscellaneous wood and a few stools.
"Your Royal Highness King Yi." Li Xian saluted Zhu Jianshen. "The master is here? You may be seated. Zhu Jianshen put down the pen, put his hand behind his back, walked in front of Li Xian, and helped Li Xian up.
"Today we will talk about the golden mean in college." Li Xian took out the book, Ruoxue looked at Zhu Jianshen, who was studying seriously, turned around and walked out of the door. Listening to Zhu Jianshen's reading aloud outside the door, Ruoxue took out the flower basket and hoe that had been prepared, found an open place in the garden, and began to work. The yard is so bleak that it always needs to be lived.
"Auntie, the kitchen has run out of salt today, and there is still water sitting on the slave stove, please ask my aunt to go to the market." The wife of the hospital guard, Xiao Sui, ran over in a hurry, found Ruoxue and said.
"It's okay, then I'll go. After I finish buying salt, I will walk around the market for a while, and you will have to take care of His Highness for me, so that His Highness can have tea and snacks. Ruoxue put down the hoe, patted the ash on her skirt, stood up, took the money and instructed Xiaosui.
Suzakumon Street, bazaar.
Ruoxue walked on the street of Suzaku Gate, remembering the situation when she often came to play with Wuchen when she was a child, and sighed that time has passed.
"Boss, do you have any salt?" Ruoxue came to a grocery store, looked around the store, found the store, and asked. "Yes, Sanwen." The boss took a packet of salt and handed it to Ruoxue.
"Boss, get me a pair of rice paper." A familiar voice came from behind Wakayuki. "Yo Gongzi, are you here? The paper has been prepared for you a long time ago. A tael of silver, you take it. The boss took out the rice paper that had been prepared to be put aside and handed it to the visitor. Ruoxue heard this voice a little familiar, and turned around: "Brother Wuchen? Ruoxue was not only red, but her eyes were moist. It is really the dustless that she thinks about day and night, and she stands in front of herself so really.
Wuchen smiled surprisingly kindly: "Ruoxue, are you okay?" ”
