Chapter 127: Chasing the Deer
At the beginning of the snow, at the end of the imperial road in front of the Great Zhou Forbidden Palace, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, a group of people turned around.
The man at the head was dressed in the color of the county king, covered with a fur cloak, and under the snow hat on his head was a sallow and thin face. He was slender and sickly-looking, sitting upright on a horse, but he was tall, and the sword hanging from his waist could still set off his former bravery.
"Shen Quan, Your Majesty sent you to announce the king's entry into the palace, but what is the important matter?"
Shen Quan was named, his legs lightly knocked on the horse's belly, approached the man's mount unhurriedly, and then wronged him by half a horse to show respect, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, didn't you just hear the slave and maid announce the holy decree?" Why did you ask the slave again? ”
When the man heard this, he glanced at the attendant who was far behind him, and snorted in a low voice: "Young master is playing with flowers here!" Your kid is a roundworm in His Majesty's stomach, what is the matter with her Xuanben King, will you kid not know? ”
Shen Quan took his vigilant look in his eyes and grinned: "My lord, don't be a slave. We are just a slave who serves the master, and we don't know the master's thoughts. ”
The man snorted coldly, expressing disbelief.
After about half an arrow, Shen Quan raised his head, looked at the Deyang Gate, the south gate of the Forbidden Palace, and suddenly said: "Lord, Your Majesty has a will, please enter the palace from the Wufeng Gate to see you." ”
Yiwang Yuwenda's brows frowned slightly: "What does this mean?" ”
The Five Phoenix Gate is the side gate of the Forbidden Palace, next to the Imperial Garden and the Imperial Garden, and further forward from the Imperial Garden, is Zhilanxuan.
Shen Quan still smiled: "Whatever your majesty says, the slave will tell the prince." As for the deep meaning, the slave and maid do not know. Why don't you wait for your face to face and ask for yourself? ”
Yuwenda's heart was even more suspicious, but he didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he took the lead in turning a corner and galloped in the direction of Wufengmen.
Shen Quan deliberately slowed down his steps and let several of his followers pass him and follow.
His gaze swept over the men one by one.
The first two people were King Yi's cronies and guards, one was named Zheng Bao and the other was Ke Zhen, and Shen Quan recognized them; However, the last four were very face-to-face. Shen Quan remembered Yu Wenrui's order to "carefully observe if there is anything unusual in Yiwang's Mansion" before leaving the palace, and remembered this qiē, even what he had seen and heard in Yiwang's Mansion before.
The group entered the Wufeng Gate smoothly, and then dismounted according to the system, and several of Yuwenda's guards were waiting outside the palace, only he was alone, and entered the palace gate with Shen Quan and a few small internal supervisors.
After about half an hour of walking, you can faintly hear the sound of beasts and birds chirping in the Imperial Garden, which is also chic in this quiet and empty silver day.
Yuwenda stopped and listened intently for a while, his eyes seemed to show a look of yearning, "This is the call of a lark...... There is even a snow wolf...... Oh, your majesty is really interesting! Why didn't she put Zhilanxuan's snow deer in the imperial garden for the snow wolf to chase and play? ”
The corners of Shen Quan's mouth twitched when he heard this. He knew that this Yi Wang Ye was a suave and open-mouthed master in his early years, and now, although it is not common, this character has not changed at all.
After walking more than a dozen steps, I didn't think that Yu Wenda would become a prophecy-
In the distance, the frenzied running of the beasts, apparently frightened, was getting closer and closer, and not only that, but there was also the helpless wail of the deer.
Yuwenda was startled, stopped, and looked fixedly at the white figure running from far and near, as if the snow was rushing all over the ground. The snow deer, which was nearly half a foot high, roared by the strong wind, and several people were stunned.
Shen Quan's jaw dropped in shock: Xuelu was raised in Zhilan Xuan, and they have always been docile and lovely, if someone hadn't deliberately hurt them, they would never be so frightened. In the forbidden palace, who is so bold! If this disturbs the Holy Driver, it will be worth it!
Just as he was slandering, the sound of hurried footsteps was also from far and near, and the little man in the blue shirt, his little face was flushed, and the sweat from the sprint had already been blown clean by the cold wind. She was only seven or eight years old, and she only had a royal blue cotton robe on her body, probably for the convenience of running, and the clothes outside were all left in the middle of nowhere. The little man was not yet free in his hand, holding a small bow in his left hand and an arrow shorter than usual in his right hand, and followed the footsteps of the snow deer.
In the end, Xuelu is a beast that is good at running, and it is not something that she can catch up with as a child, and in the blink of an eye, she ran away without a trace. And that child, when he saw Yuwenda and his party, couldn't help but stop a foot away.
She completely forgot about the snow deer and the bow and arrow in her hand, stopped there, looked Yuwenda up and down, and finally stared at his face fixedly, as if confused and puzzled.
Yuwenda also looked at her, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. This child was chasing the snow deer in the forbidden palace, obviously still wanting to shoot it with a bow and sword, which was really against etiquette, but when he saw her for the first time, he felt like it, especially the fearless energy, which made him seem to see himself when he was a child again.
I don't know which family's child it is. Yuwenda said in his heart.
Maybe she followed the adult into the palace to greet a nobleman, but her own adult was not in front of her, so she became naughty.
He thought to himself, took a few steps and stood in front of the child.
His tall and thin figure blocked the sun above the child's head.
"Which girl's doll are you? Being so naughty in the palace, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to your family? ”
The little girl looked at him as if she was stupid, and looked at him with her face up.
Yuwenda was amused in her heart, glanced at the bow and arrow in her hand, and said gently: "That snow deer has always been obedient, what are you doing chasing and shooting it?" ”
The little girl's face turned even redder, and her hands holding the bow and arrow moved, as if she wanted to hide behind her, but she didn't know what was going on in her heart, so she didn't move again.
Yuwen Da suddenly felt that this child was very interesting, and was about to ask something more, when he saw two palace maids running in the distance, anxious: "Little ancestor, can you ......"
The two of them were surprised to see Yuwenda, and then saw Shen Quan standing behind Yuwenda, his legs were weak, and he was busy bowing and saluting: "I've seen His Royal Highness King Yi!" I've seen Mr. Shen! ”
Yu Wenda was surprised by the respectful look of the two of them towards the little girl, except for Jing Jiayue's lawless goods, he had never seen anyone who dared to be so "domineering" in the Forbidden Palace!
Staring at Yuwenda's distant figure, Jixiang blinked his eyes, pursed his lips, and two pools of water rippled out of his eye sockets, and he was about to cry.
"You just said that he is the Yi King of the Great Zhou?"
The two palace maids glanced at each other and nodded, "It's His Royal Highness King Yi...... Miss Yu, go back to Zhilanxuan, right? If you freeze to death, the slaves and maidservants will not be able to afford it. ”
Why are you afraid of freezing her? If it is known that this little girl is so foolish in the palace, I am afraid that I will be punished, right?
Ji Xiang didn't move steadily, and said with a crying voice: "King Yi? Is it Daddy's King Yi? ”
The two palace maids looked at each other, puzzled, but they were also afraid that she would say something terrible again, so they hurriedly dragged her away.
Yuwenda originally thought that he would see him in Chongyang Palace, but he didn't want to be led by Shen Quan to Qiyun Palace, which was quite close to Zhilanxuan, and what he didn't expect was that it was not only the emperor who was waiting for him, but also the queen mother Jing Yan.
He saluted, was given a seat, and the maid served tea, and then the emperor withdrew from the others, leaving only three men.
Yuwenda was surprised in his heart, secretly thinking about the words on the holy decree, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty said that you want to invite a few important ministers and clans to discuss the attack on Beizheng, but I don't know how many other people ......."
Where are the others?
Yu Wenrui didn't answer him, but stared at him silently for a while.
Yu Wenda was stared at by her inquiring gaze, and glanced at the Queen Mother uneasily, but found that Jing Yan's face was light, and his gaze did not fall on his body at all.
Yu Wenrui suddenly spoke: "Brother Dahuang has lost weight and lost weight so much, is there a lot of affairs in the mansion, is it too worrying?" ”
Yu Wenda's nerves tensed suddenly, and he smiled: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing!" No matter how many chores there are in the minister's Yi Wangfu, can there be more than His Majesty's palace? His Majesty's palace can still be cooked in an orderly manner, not to mention the minister's small Yiwang Mansion? ”
When Yu Wenrui heard this, he squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "My harem can be in order, and that is the credit of the Queen Mother's careful care!" ”
Jing Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Yu Wenrui.
Yu Wenrui pretended not to see it, and continued: "So, Brother Dahuang should also marry a sister-in-law to take care of the house's housework." ”
What does it mean to "also" marry a sister-in-law?
Jing Yan couldn't wait to sew the mouth of this little enemy immediately.
Yuwenda didn't think of going elsewhere for a while, the corners of his lips hooked, and he changed into a prodigal son, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has always known the minister's temperament. There are too many women, and those who are jealous and quarrel are troublesome......"
He saw that the faces of the Queen Mother and the Emperor changed slightly, and he changed his words and said: "So, Your Majesty will spare the ministers!" If you marry the princess, which family must be the lady, who is in charge of the ministers every day, and the ministers are not upset and sick? What's more, the minister has always been pitiful and cherished, and she is always reluctant to be sad for the minister all the time, right? ”
The corners of Yu Wenrui's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he said in his heart, I see that you are sick now! Or there are too many women, squeezing out the sickness of the spirit!
Since she is the empress, she naturally can't see that men in the world don't take women seriously, so her blood swelled for a while, and she said coldly: "Since Brother Dahuang is so merciful and cherishes the jade, do you still remember Alatan Tana in Mo Nan nine years ago?" ”
Yuwenda's face changed slightly, and his smile stiffened: "I'm not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, the minister has traveled in all directions in the past, and he has seen a lot of women, what kind of Mo Nan...... Tana? Scold! I really can't remember! ”
Yu Wenrui gritted his teeth hatefully and said: "Poor Lord Mo Nanchang, she gave birth to a child for you, and raised her young daughter with hard work, you don't even remember her!" ”
Yu Wenda's expression was shocked, and his mind inadvertently crossed the figure of the little girl chasing the snow deer just now.
