16. The deceased
The Queen Mother's face turned pale and exclaimed, "Yu'er! β
The people next to him were also so frightened that they all stood on the spot, only to see a green shadow flashing around them, and rushed straight towards the fallen body.
"Ouch!"
Although Na Jingyu is a child, after all, he is also an eight-foot-long man, and the force of the fall is full, so he pressed Ah Yuan heavily under him and couldn't move. Ah Yuan gasped in pain, only to feel a pain in his chest, and almost broke a few ribs.
The Queen Mother hurriedly stepped forward to check, "Yu'er, how is it?" There was no fall anywhere! β
Jingyu turned over, stood up by himself, and said a little unhappily: "It hurts." β
Red Calyx interjected on the side and asked, "Where does Shiro hurt?" β
He hesitated, suddenly slapped his head, and said, "By the way, it's you, you said there are lotus root balls!" Bring it to me! β
The four emperors were excited to fall because of her sentence "lotus root flour balls", and the red calyx was afraid that the queen mother would be held responsible, so she glanced at her worriedly, and saw that the queen mother was only focused on Jingyu, so she said: "It's done to make people put it in the palace, Shilang and the slave will be able to eat when they go back." β
The Queen Mother saw that he only tore his sleeves, and when she heard that there was delicious food, she looked happy, and it didn't seem like she had suffered any crime, so she calmed down. Seeing Ah Yuan still lying on the ground, her pretty face turned pale with pain, so she asked her, "How are you?" β
"Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, slave maid...... It's okay......" Ah Yuan barely sat up, thinking that his body had been repeatedly destroyed in recent months. First he was forced to drink poisoned wine, then he was almost burned by fire, then he was whipped by the princess, and his birthmark was stripped of himself, and now he was made a human flesh pad. The old wounds have not gone, and the new injuries have been added, which is really unfavorable for the passing years, Amitabha!
Yiqiu stepped forward to help her, and said with a smile: "Just now, the Queen Mother asked her who her master was, but I can't see it now." The slave and maid look at this girl, and she is also loyal to the Queen Mother. β
The Queen Mother twitched the corners of her mouth, noncommittal. But seeing Jingyu staring at Ah Yuan with wide eyes on the side, he thought for a while and said, "This sister, I seem to have seen it." β
Hongcao asked: "When Shiro was in the palace, this girl couldn't walk, where have you seen it?" β
Jingyu said very firmly: "If you have seen it, you have seen it." β
Hongcao sneered: "Could it be that she looks like a bodhisattva in the temple, everyone has seen it?" β
Jingyu looked at Ah Yuan stupidly, and was out of his mind for a long time, muttering words like "female bodhisattva" and "seen". Hongcao thought about it for a while, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Lan left this righteous sister by your side, and the slave maid saw that she had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and it also annoyed you left and right." As the saying goes, out of sight is pure, and it just so happened that she closed Shiro's eyes again, so it was better for her to serve Shiro, how about the Queen Mother? β
The Queen Mother felt very justified when she heard this, nodded her head, and said to Jingyu: "Okay, since Yu'er likes it, the Queen Mother will give you this palace maid, okay?" β
He stared at Ah Yuan diligently and said, "Good, good! Sister Bodhisattva! β
The Queen Mother said: "Then it's decided, there is no shortage of people around the mourning family." Ah Yuan, you will follow the Four Emperors all over the future and serve him in his diet and daily life. β
Ah Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and a boulder fell. This move is finally the right one. There is a fool emperor by her side, she doesn't have to walk on thin ice all day long, worried that her life will be lost.
A few days later, she was waiting for Jingyu to eat in Changning Palace, and Xiao Linzi hurriedly ran in from outside: "Miss Ayuan, the king of Xunjun and the fifth eldest princess have come to see the fourth emperor." β
She put the bowl and chopsticks down, and wanted to step aside not to disturb their brother and sister gathering, but Jingyu called out to her: "Sister, don't go." Saying that, he reached out to pull her, but Ah Yuan had no choice but to stay. These days, the two get along, although he doesn't understand the world and is naΓ―ve in his words and deeds, he can be regarded as very well-behaved in front of her. Therefore, just taking care of him for the small things of eating and sleeping is not bothersome and laborious.
The two were pulling, and Jing Yi and Qiyue entered the house. Seeing the posture of these two people, Jing Yi smiled and said, "Presumably this is the fourth brother's bodhisattva sister." β
Ah Yuan blushed and stepped aside, saluting King Xun and the eldest princess. Qiyue had been here before, but Jing Yi had come back for the first time - he lived in the Xunjun Mansion outside the palace on weekdays, and occasionally entered the palace once in a while. Ah Yuan thought about these brothers, and sighed that they were really one person, and he didn't know that they would be brothers. No wonder they all say that dragons give birth to nine sons, each different!
Although this Jingyu was a little stunned, he could also see his previous handsome appearance. Especially after this person shaved his beard, it made people sigh, his skin was really as white as jade, he looked like a Qionghua, and he looked like a boy and a girl. Lao Ba Jingyi is a dark and thin young man, with clear facial features like carving, but he is exquisite, and his demeanor is not informal, quite a bit of Wei and Jin style.
Ah Yuan had also seen the emperor before, and he had the impression that Jingzhen and the two brothers were completely different. She thought about it carefully, but she couldn't remember Jingzhen's appearance, and could only vaguely remember the back of the sky and water at the door of the Rende Palace......
"What are you thinking?" Qiyue shook her hand in front of her eyes.
Ah Yuan came back to his senses and said busily: "No, it's nothing. β
Qiyue laughed and said: "Did you see my starling brother and see that he is handsome and chic, and you want to get into it!" β
Jing Yi lightly slapped his fist on Qiyue's forehead: "What are the little girl's families thinking." β
Qiyue pouted: "It's not that I'm thinking, it's the fourth brother's bodhisattva sister who is thinking about it." How is it sung in that song? She pretended to shake up her water sleeves, and said in a sharp voice: "Time is easy to pass and urge people to grow old, and live up to the youth and beautiful youth." β
Jing Yi shook his head and sighed: "Where did you hear these dramas, if you want to let your mother know, you have to be punished for facing the wall for three days." β
Qiyue said with a smile: "Last time, when I made a big fuss in the Rende Palace, my mother was so angry that I was not allowed to go out for five days, and I was only allowed to accompany her in the palace to recite Buddhist scriptures. Compared to this, what is there to fear about facing the wall for three days? β
Jingyu saw that the two brothers and sisters were laughing, and they couldn't understand it, so they raised their heads and asked Ah Yuan: "Sister Bodhisattva, what is Sifan?" β
Qiyue squirted out with a sip of tea, and Ah Yuan blushed to the bottom of her ears, and she didn't know how to explain. Thanks to Jing Yi, she stepped forward to relieve her: "Fourth brother, do you remember me?" I'm your eighth brother, and when I was a child, you hugged me. β
When Jingyu was deposed from the palace, Jing Yi was four years old, but he also clearly remembered this generous and friendly brother. Jing Yi said again: "This is Yue'er, your fifth sister, when she was born, you were no longer in the palace." But she also often listens to me and my mother talk about you, and she also thinks about you. β
No matter how hard he tried to remember, his mind was still blank, so he had to look at them and shake his head innocently. Jing Yi saw that he didn't remember the personnel at all, and he didn't regain his old looks, his nose was sour, and he said: "Thanks to the imperial brother who brought you back, fourth brother, don't worry, there are many divine doctors in the palace, and one day they will heal you." β
Jingyu said: "Why do you want to treat me? I'm not sick! I'm stronger than an ox, I, I can climb trees, I can eat, I eat a lot of food......" he said and couldn't think of anything else, he scratched his head and scratched his bun.
Seeing this, Ah Yuan hurriedly grabbed his hand and put it down, and said kindly: "The fourth emperor can do anything, the king of Xunjun and the eldest princess are teasing you." He said to Jing Yi again: "Don't mention the illness of the prince of the county, he is most afraid of drinking medicine, and he will go crazy when he mentions seeing the imperial doctor take medicine." When it's not good to catch up, I can't persuade you to come back for half a day. β
Jing Yi bowed her head slightly, took a closer look at her, and saw her hibiscus face with wavy eyes, slightly lowered her head, and felt even more moving. He said: "Thanks to you for taking care of the fourth brother, I heard that you are still the righteous sister of the imperial brother and concubine, and I have wronged you." β
Ah Yuan said: "The slave and maid are just subordinates, and it is a blessing for the slave and maid to be able to serve by the side of the four emperors." She said this sincerely, compared to living in fear by the side of the Queen Mother, the life of eating and drinking with fools is indeed much better.
Jing Yi was about to say something more, but it happened that Xiao Linzi came in at this time, and said, "Lord Jun, the Queen Mother said that the new deputy commander of the Gyeonggi Battalion, Lord Wei, is here, please come over." Jing Yi pouted: "Then I'll go over first, and then I'll come back to see the fourth brother." β
As soon as he left, Qiyue mysteriously ran to Ah Yuan's side and asked her, "Do you know who this Lord Wei is?" β
Ah Yuan shook his head, a general with troops, what does it have to do with her?
Qiyue was very surprised: "Haven't you heard of Nanwei Han and Beile Shu?" β
Ah Yuan still shook his head, thinking to himself how this little girl grew up in the deep palace, how could she know so many things.
"Oh, the two people women in the world want to marry the most, you don't even know!" Qiyue looked at her with strange eyes, a little impatient, "Wei Han in the south of the Yangtze River, Chun Yu Le Shu in the north, and the two peerless sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty." β
Ah Yuan pondered these two names, Wei Han had never heard of them, but they were pure ...... Isn't that the surname of the current queen? She tried to ask, "Chun Yu's ...... Is it a relative of the queen's mother's family? β
Qiyue said: "Of course, there are still a few people surnamed Chunyu in the world. Although Chun Yu was born in poverty, he is a family of poets and scholars, and the eldest son Chun Yu Le Shu was admitted to the champion the year before last. As for his daughter, she is my imperial sister-in-law. β
"And who is Wei Han?"
"The son of Wei Feng'an, the general of Longxiang in Jiangnan Province." Qiyue asked curiously, "Haven't you heard of following Concubine Lan before?" Listening to my seventh brother, Concubine Lan has lived in Jiangnan for a few years, and this Wei Han is the most beautiful man in Jiangnan. β
A Yuan thundered in his head: Gangnam Province...... Surname Wei...... Pian Pian Child...... She suddenly remembered that day when she was studying in Yuntai Palace, the raccoon note that fell in "Xiaoshan Ci", "Change my heart, for your heart, I know each other deeply", the signature is not exactly the word "Wei"!
"Wei Han was young and promising, Wen Taowu was strategic, and he became the deputy commander of the Gyeonggi camp before he was thirty years old. His father is also a great contributor to helping my seventh brother ascend the throne, so ...... seventh brother attaches great importance to him" Qiyue muttered to herself, suddenly feeling that her expression was different, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" β
Ah Yuan hurriedly said: "It's nothing. β
"What I said is true, it's all the starling brother said and I listened, the starling said that the horse should be chosen as soon as possible!" Qi Yue smiled: "Do you also want to go and see this Wei Gongzi?" Before she could answer, the eldest princess took Ah Yuan's hand: "Let's go, this princess will take you to have a look." β
"The eldest princess has misunderstood." Ah Yuan didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand in fear, and said, "The slave still has to serve the fourth emperor." Looking back, how could anyone still ask her to serve, then Jingyu had already been full of wine and food, and she would go to Zhou Gong on the couch.
Qiyue smiled and grabbed her sleeve: "Okay, let's go!" β
