Chapter 12 Conventions
Chapter XII
There was such an incident, and the palace banquet of the day ended early.
Before the end, Empress Yuan asked people to prepare some small gifts for the girls, which she personally distributed to the ladies, and also chatted with them separately by the way. This can be regarded as giving them a boost in face, even if their daughter is not selected, it is not a shame.
While the adults and Empress Yuan were talking alone in the inner hall, the little girls were waiting outside.
The crown prince Zhu Xi had quietly withdrawn at this time, Ruyi was originally taken to the inner hall by her mother, and at this time she secretly ran out by herself.
At this time, although the little girls had not discussed, they all tacitly stood aside in twos and threes, and stayed away from Runrun and Rulan alone.
After Runrun answered the queen's words just now, she felt that others looked at her strangely. She wanted to ask her grandmother if she had said something wrong, but the hall was quiet, and no one spoke without permission except for the queen and queen, so she was embarrassed to ask.
Zhen Zhen was originally going to be with her, but before the county lord Jing'an entered the inner hall, he pulled her aside and said a few words to her, and let her sit there and wait. Zhen Zhen understood her mother's intentions, and she couldn't disobey her for a while. Then a few little girls nearby also approached her and talked to her, and for a while her surroundings were lively.
Runrun looked around for a while, and saw that the other little girls were biting their ears and smiling, and they were actually very envious. She rarely has the opportunity to go out, and there is no one else at home who is about the same age to play with her except for her eldest sister and Zhen Zhen. She had expected to get a chance to meet a new friend or two this time.
"Hey, little fat man!" Runrun was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. When she looked back, she saw Ruyi after grooming.
Ruyi pouted in the direction of the other little girls and said, "What are you looking at there?" Her voice was not small, and suddenly the voices of the others next to her were lowered.
Peeking at being caught, Runrun lowered his head a little embarrassed, rubbed his little fat hand and said, "No, I didn't see anything." ”
Ruyi grabbed her shoulders and walked to her side, "Why are you always so scared, there are no man-eating monsters here." ”
Runrun thought that there were indeed no monsters here, but Mama Zhang said that you must be very careful when you talk and do things in the palace, otherwise it will bring trouble to the entire Ye Mansion. And Ruyi in front of her almost fought with Rulan just now, and she was a little afraid of her, so she said: "I'm not like this, but it's the first time I've been with so many people." ”
Ruyi's eyes widened in surprise and said, "No, then what are you usually doing?" ”
"I didn't do anything, I just played at home, sometimes by myself, sometimes with my sister and Zhenzhen."
Ruyi said "oh", thinking that this conversation was also quite boring, if it wasn't for this little fat man who just helped her tell the truth, she would have taken advantage of her mother's lack of time to take care of her and slipped out.
Finally, someone took the initiative to talk to him, and Runrun also had the courage to continue: "What about you? What do you usually do? ”
Ruyi tilted her head and frowned and thought about it, "It doesn't seem to have done anything special, just to practice boxing and feet with my father, and was forced by my mother to practice calligraphy and embroidery." Well, in the past few days, my mother's house has been running at both ends of the palace, and I will play back and forth......"
Runrun listened with envy and said, "It's great, you can run around." ”
Ruyi waved his hand and said: "What do you envy, I'm not like you and sisters and sisters, I'm the only girl in the family, and the first two brothers are a lot older than me, and they all treat me as a child." "There is a cousin in the palace, but this cousin is worse than her, the emperor's aunt and the queen's aunt are in charge of everything, not letting this or that.
"I also have two older brothers, who don't fight much more than me, but they both attend classes in Guozijian and come home late every day." Runrun found the common ground between himself and Ruyi, and opened the chatterbox, "My second brother is mischievous in the school every day, and he will be talked about every day when he comes back." I also envy them at the beginning, I can have so many friends in class together every day......"
"What's so good about going to class?" Like a little adult, he said in a tone of 'you are still young, you don't understand': "I have a female gentleman at home, and I am annoyed to death." ”
Runrun felt that she had misunderstood what she meant, and she was envious of the fact that her brothers had a lot of friends together, instead of going to class.
Ruyi was also dealing with such a young girl for the first time, seeing that she stopped talking, and didn't know if she had said something wrong, so she scratched the back of her head and asked her, "Do you have anything you want?" Like new jewelry, new clothes, and so on. The little fat man had done her a favor, and she had to say thank you.
Runrun said: "I don't lack anything, I have clothes and jewelry at home." ”
Ruyi is right to think about it, how can the little fat man say that she is also a girl from an official eunuch's family, how can she care about any jewelry and clothes, but she can't think of what to give her for a while, but seeing that she is so fat, she should like to eat?
"My father went to the border patrol during this time, and he should come back in a few days, and when the time comes, he will bring beef jerky milk to the family or something, although it is not a particularly good thing, but it is a rare thing in the capital, otherwise I will send you some back? When do you have to be free? ”
Hearing her say this, Runrun was obviously happy, the lord of Jing'an often invited his young handkerchief to be a guest at home, she had seen it from afar a few times, and those ladies sometimes brought their children to play with Zhenzhen, she was envious. Growing so big, no one has ever come to play with him.
"I'm free at any time, I'm usually at home, you can be a guest whenever you want!"
Looking at the smiling little fat man, Ruyi felt that he was really smart, but he didn't like to eat, look at this smile, his eyes were almost out of sight. But she laughed really cute, Ruyi subconsciously wanted to pinch her face like her brothers usually pinched their faces, but then thought that the two were not very familiar with each other, such a move was a bit abrupt, for fear of scaring her, so the outstretched hand fell on her shoulder and patted it, "Then let's talk about it." ”
Runrun happily "hey", "Say okay!" ”
It didn't take long for Empress Yuan and the ladies of the family to finish speaking. Everyone brought their children to see the farewell.
On the way back, Runrun's mouth smiled as if he couldn't close it.
Although the old lady also felt that Runrun had offended people by speaking before, she thought about it and thought that her own generation of scholars could not be lost in her arrogance. The child told the truth, and there was no reason to blame. But I'm afraid that Runrun will be excluded by other children in the future because of this incident, and he will be upset.
At this time, seeing that Runrun seemed to have forgotten about that incident, the old lady also breathed a sigh of relief and teased her: "How can we be happy about what happened to Runrun?" Say it and let your grandmother hear it. ”
Runrun took her grandmother's arm and said happily, "Runrun has a friend, and I will come home in two days!" ”
The old lady raised her eyebrows and wondered, "Oh? Which is it? ”
Runrun looked up with a white little face, "It's the Ruyi in red clothes, the one who can play with whips." ”
The old lady raised it again in one breath: Why is no one there? It's the little devil star in the Chengguo Mansion!
