Chapter 11: Rebellion
The next day, the first drum sounded on the tower of Chengtianmen, and the gates of the palace were opened in turn.
Shen Youan hesitated for a long time, but finally put down the needle and thread in his hand, got up and walked towards Chengenmen.
When she arrived at Cheng'en Gate, the eunuch who read out the list had already left, and only a few little eunuchs were left guarding there, she glanced at it hurriedly, and was about to turn around and leave, when she suddenly heard a clear voice not far behind her.
"County Lord."
This voice is Manchun.
She turned her face and saw Manchun pulling a woman beside her and pointing at her and jumping again; "Nurse, look, it's the county lord, it's the county lord."
The woman, apparently seeing her too, was stunned for a moment, and then a smile of excitement appeared on her face.
At that moment, she thought, it turns out that there are really people in this world who miss me Shen Youan, it's really good.
The guards guarding the door stopped Man Chun and Yu Nanniang, who were about to come in, Man Chun has been spicy since he was a child, and pointed at Shen You'an with his waist crossed; "Let us in, that's my lord."
The guard guarding the door glanced at Shen Youan in embarrassment, but did not let him go, Shen Youan suddenly smiled, sure enough, it was still that girl, but it really hadn't changed at all.
She walked up to the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office and showed her waist card, saying; "I'm Shen You'an, the female official of the Liupin Division next to His Majesty, and I am on the list of family members to meet today."
The eunuch glanced at her waist card and blessed her; "Shen Si is well."
Man Chun looked at the guard angrily; "See, that's the county lord of my family, don't let us in quickly."
The guard was also embarrassed, he had just been promoted this year, so he naturally didn't know the female officials around the emperor, not to mention that this little girl was still a county lord, today is the day when the female officials in the palace see their families, where is there any county lord.
Man Chun and Yu Nanniang followed Shen Youan to the side, and Yu Nanniang saluted with Man Chun; "The slave and maid greet the county lord."
Shen Youan helped them in time and said; "Don't salute, how can there be any county lord now, I'm just a female official in the palace."
Granny Yu couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her like this, her county lord, the most noble county lord in Anping's palace, was now going to the palace to be a little female official, and tears couldn't stop flowing for a while.
Shen Youan hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears; "Nurse, don't cry."
Manchun also persuaded; "Yes, nurse, I finally saw the county lord, don't make the county lord sad."
"It's an old slave, isn't it."
Shen Youan held Granny Yu's arm to prevent her from kneeling again, and said; "Didn't I arrange for you to leave the house? You guys"
"Don't worry about the county lord, the slave maid and the nurse have already left the house, and they live in the courtyard given by the county lord, and the nurse came to try her luck when she heard that today is the day for the female officials in the palace to see her family, but I didn't expect to really meet the county lord."
Seeing that Shen Youan's face was not very good, Yu Nanniang patted her hand and comforted; "The county lord doesn't have to be sad, the conscience of the group of people in the Anping Mansion has been eaten by the dogs, and the county lord can't feel sorry for them, it's not worth it."
Yes, it's not worth it, Shen Youan smiled bitterly, how could the Anping Mansion care about her now, it's just a little female official, someone is coming, I'm afraid that I will dislike her and be ashamed.
The female officer saw that the time of the family was limited, and after a while, Yu Nanniang took Manchun and left reluctantly, and after Shen Youan went back, she happened to see Bitong hiding in the house to wipe her tears, and when she saw her coming, she squeezed out a smile and said; "It's not so uncomfortable when I don't see it, but it's even more uncomfortable when I meet here."
"It's better to meet after all, at least you don't have to worry about it anymore."
"That's just as well."
After Bitong went out, Shen Youan pinched his palms and stared at the eaves, obviously it was spring, why did he feel colder than winter.
Wu spontaneously stunned, Shen Youan walked to the bed and happened to see the handkerchief that Qi Jinghuan took out of his arms in a hurry that day, picked it up and put it in his hand and stroked it gently, and at the end, sighed, folded the handkerchief and put it in the box, and went to Yanqing Hall to be on duty.
There are some things that she should not think about or what she can think, in her heart, the former Anping Mansion was her home, as for the current Anping Mansion, perhaps, she is too greedy.
When she arrived at the Yanqing Palace, Qi Jinghuan was commenting on the folds, when she went in, he didn't raise his head, she silently walked to the back and stood, this is a habit developed these days, she doesn't need to do anything when she criticizes the folds, just hand over a cup of tea when her majesty is thirsty, this kind of work is much easier than she imagined.
"Crying?"
Qi Jinghuan suddenly stopped writing, turned to look at her, obviously asking a question, but he said it so firmly.
"Nope."
Qi Jinghuan hooked the corners of his mouth, suddenly raised his hand and gently brushed the corners of her eyes, and said; "Deception is a crime of deception."
Shen Youan was stunned by his actions, took a step back, and when he looked at him again, he saw that he was looking at himself with a smile, as if he was looking at his own jokes, and all the grievances came to her heart for a while, she had her pride, she was the county lord of Anping Wangfu, and she was the treasure of her father's palm, what did she do wrong, why should she be treated like this, can the emperor be so humiliated?
"What if you cry, do you still have to control other people's emotions?"
Obviously, she misunderstood what Qi Jinghuan meant, thinking that Qi Jinghuan was humiliating her.
Finally no longer cautious, deliberately forbearing, Qi Jinghuan was stunned for a short time, returned to normal, and when he looked at her again, the caution on her face seemed to disappear, just like the arrogance when she first met, yes, this is her, the real her, she should be like this, she is the arrogant county lord, she is the noble girl envied by everyone in Yudu, and she should not be so humble to live.
She also reacted that she was presumptuous, but the words she said were like water spilled out, and she couldn't take it back, at this moment, she just thought, it's over, she may not be able to live today, how can this moody emperor in front of her allow others to be so presumptuous, maybe she feels that she will inevitably die after all, so she is not so afraid, she stood up straight, and looked back at Qi Jinghuan so straight, before this, she had never dared to look at him so boldly, and even after being by his side for so long, she didn't look at his face carefully.
At this moment, Qi Jinghuan looked at her seriously, she seemed to have finally broken free, and tore off the mask on her face in the past, he even felt that she was staring at herself, although he felt her hand trembling slightly, it seems that today, what the Anping Mansion did made her feel cold, and even a little bolder, but this is what he likes.
He suddenly laughed, the laughter was undisguised pleasant, but this laughter made Shen Youan's heart furious, she became more and more afraid, her hands trembled uncontrollably, her palms were full of sweat, and even her waist was slowly bent down, in Qi Jinghuan's laughter, she felt that the faint sense of rebellion in her heart was suppressed.
"陛xià"
"Hey, don't you plead now, weren't you quite bold just now? It's too late to ask for sin, but I remember it in my heart. ”
Qi Jinghuan said with a half-teasing smile, and he suddenly reached out and hugged her in his arms.
"陛xià."
Shen Youan said in a panic, wanting to get up from Qi Jinghuan's body, but his waist was fixed by him, and he couldn't break free at all.
"Shen You'an, do you know that you have committed the crime of great disrespect."
His fingertips gently crossed her lips, and her dark black pupils glowed with cold light, so that Shen Youan did not dare to look directly at him, and she timidly turned her face sideways, leaving a perfect side face and a beautiful neck.
Qi Jinghuan pressed the evil fire in his body, suddenly hooked the corner of his lips, pointed his index finger on her lips, and said in a good mood; "Well, how about you give me a kiss and forgive you for your great disrespect? Well? ”
Looking at his appearance, I really thought that this was a good idea, the dignified son of heaven, it was so ridiculous, at this moment, Shen Youan was even more sure that her majesty was deliberately making fun of herself when she did it to herself, but she was also bolder for a while, even if she knew that her majesty was deliberately teasing herself, she didn't dare to reply, she just turned her face and didn't look at him angrily.
Qi Jinghuan simply loved her little appearance, he didn't dare to touch her, because he was afraid that she would do something irreparable because she was strong, and he would have no place to cry when the time came, but now it seems that he inadvertently hit the right one.
"Okay, you can reply, I'm waiting for you."
As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and the hand around her waist tightened unconsciously.
How did this majesty suddenly become like a scoundrel, how could it be like this, she didn't know what to say for a while, she had been familiar with the books of sages since she was a child, and such absurd behavior like majesty was simply unheard of, it was really insulting.
Qi Jinghuan suddenly pinched her waist and urged her, she said angrily; "Nope."
"Why?"
There was a hint of coquettishness in his tone, like a child who didn't beg for candy.
"Why do you want to kiss the slave?"
Since she can't contradict His Majesty, then she also has to know what it is.
That's a good question, why kiss her, naturally because I like her, but I'm afraid that she won't believe it, she suddenly moved in his arms, he was already holding back a fire, and now, it's going to be bad.
He hurriedly pushed her out of his arms and said; "Go down."
Shen Youan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, faintly relieved, and hurriedly retreated after blessing him.
Qi Jinghuan saw her running out as if she was running for her life, smiled helplessly, and said to the bottom; "Hey, brother, I've wronged you, bear with me."
