142 Encounter with a snake
After the banquet, Xiao Yao finally met the eldest princess who had been legendary for a long time, and she sat in the lower position, which was a privileged place. At the age of forty, it is well maintained, and I originally thought that it was in a place like Tubo, and the rumored eldest princess was not so wishy-washy. But seeing it today was not like that, which surprised Xiao Yao.
When the eldest princess returned to the dynasty, the emperor, as the elder brother, was naturally delighted, plus mixed feelings, and her expression was really in place. Even Xiao Yao sat down below and couldn't help but shout "good" for the emperor. What good background can a sister who was married off have? If the princess's maternal background was strong enough, then Princess Nanping would not have fallen to the point of foreign marriage.
Don't look at the emperor's greeting for this sister now, as for how much this person really weighs in the emperor's heart, it really has to be weighed.
Of course, no matter what other people think, and no matter what the emperor is thinking, at least this dust washing banquet is very happy. Everyone was very happy with their expressions.
It was almost midnight when I returned to the small courtyard, and the family washed and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, the family got together for breakfast, Yun Zhu came in with a three-layer food box, and put the food box on the table, "Princess, everything you want is ready." ”
"Okay, let's put it here." Xiao Yao nodded and let Yunzhu go down.
"What is this?" As the first curiosity of the whole family, He Ziyi took the lead in lifting the lid of the food box, but before he could reach out, he was slapped off by Xiao Yao. "What are you doing, this is to be sent to the county lord of the prince's family, don't touch it!"
He Ziyi was reprimanded by Xiao Yao, and he could only retract his hand regretfully, and He Yu next to him spoke again, "What are you going to do with food?" Could it be that there is no cook on the prince's side? ”
"Naturally not, it's just that Yang Ning is clamoring to eat beef soup, our chef is good at this, so the crown princess asked me to do a favor here," Xiao Yao said. "The little girl has been sick for the past two days. I had a fever, and I didn't want to eat anything, so I wanted to eat this, and I sent it over. ”
"Sick? Yan zhòng is not strict zhòng? This was asked by He Zi'an. The little face was full of nervousness.
"It's okay." Xiao Yao said ambiguously. Mainly looking at the nervous expression of his second child, I think it's quite interesting. However, don't tease your son casually at this time. So he continued, "Later, you will take the food box to visit the county lord, you know?" ”
"Okay." It seems that he is really nervous, and he directly agrees without saying a word of nonsense.
He Zi'an ate faster, and after a cup of tea, he threw away his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "I'm done." ”
"Well, rinse your mouth, change your clothes and go again, no matter how anxious you are, you have to remember the etiquette, do you know?" Xiao Yao advised.
"Got it." He Zi'an replied in response, the person over there had already run away, and the figure disappeared after a while. He Yu shook his head helplessly, "I've never seen him practice martial arts with such vigor." ”
Xiao Yao was amused by He Yu's words, and He Ziyi was also smirking beside him.
"Forget it, I can't help it, I can see it." Xiao Yao sighed.
He Yu also followed suit, and the family was very happy. Xiao Yao thought about it, and still asked, "Now that the eldest princess has returned to the court, do you need to accompany her?" ”
"Not necessarily," the two of them walked hand in hand in the courtyard after eating, and He Yu said, "No matter what the eldest princess says, she is a royal person, and my duty is to welcome the eldest princess back safely, even if it is a successful completion of the task, as for the rest of the matter, it is the royal family's own business." After all, the emperor still has so many sons and daughters-in-law! That turn is on us. ”
Also, Xiao Yao listened to He Yu's analysis, and felt that it made sense, so she no longer bothered about these things.
The two of them chatted while walking, and before they knew it, they came to a bamboo forest behind the yard, where the bamboo forest was not large, and there were a few trees standing sporadically in the middle. Xiao Yao looked around, "What about the dark clouds and flowing gold?" Aren't you going to go to your room and sleep? ”
"There." He Yu's eyes looked at one of the trees, Xiao Yao also followed He Yu's eyes, and sure enough, he saw Liujin lying on the tree and sleeping, and the dark cloud was sleeping on a higher branch.
Xiao Yao looked at the two big cats sleeping sweetly, and said, "They are really good at finding a place." ”
"Clouded leopards," He Yu disagreed, "Most leopards can climb trees, and this is not unusual." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Yao nodded and responded with a smile.
Along the way, the two of them didn't speak, and for a while the whole bamboo forest was silent, and suddenly Xiao Yao heard the sound of squirming, and looked back in curiosity, and suddenly saw a black thing with cold scales chopping on the licorice not far away, and quickly slid down, Xiao Yao's cold sweat immediately came down, and she was already so frightened that she couldn't even shout out her voice, so she could only grab He Yu's hand very hard.
He Yu looked back in pain, the first thing he saw was Xiao Yao's stunned and motionless eyes, followed Xiao Yao's line of sight, and just saw a snake winding down from the haystack, He Yu carefully stood in front of Xiao Yao, protecting her behind him, I don't know where to find a short knife, the sharp blade flashed in the sun, both of them held their breath, He Yu just took a step forward, and felt a flower in front of him, a golden shadow swooped down directly from a high place, nailing the snake to the ground.
At this moment, Xiao Yao's heart was relieved, and he immediately screamed, accompanied by a scream, the dark clouds also rushed out, and the two leopards stepped on the snake completely unable to move, and Liujin even had time to lick his paws leisurely. However, He Yu naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, and firmly protected Xiao Yao behind him, but after seeing the snake clearly, he also let go of his heart a little, "It's okay, this snake is not poisonous." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Yao also breathed a sigh of relief. However, Xiao Yao's screams soon attracted the guards in the courtyard, He Yu pierced the snake's seven inches with a dagger, and fixed the snake in place, Xiao Yao also hurriedly let Wuyun and Liujin leave, after all, these guards are royal guards. It's not his own family, if you let others know that there are two big cats in He Yu's yard, the consequences will be uncontrollable.
Wuyun and Liujin live with people all year round, and there is an animal tamer in the palace, so they naturally see Xiao Yao's gestures very clearly, one dodges and two leopards jumped up the tree, hiding in the branches, and ordinary people saw that there were two big cats lying on the tree.
The arrival of the guards naturally killed the snake quickly, He Yu had a dark face, "The Royal Palace, there was a snake, what if this snake entered the house?!" ”
The guards knelt down to plead guilty, but He Yu had a dark face and said unhappily, "Okay! Come on! What's the use of asking for sin, it's important to strengthen prevention! Pack up this place for the king, and go out. ”
After speaking, He Yu flicked his sleeves and walked out of the bamboo forest with Xiao Yao. When I returned to the house, I saw He Ziyi running out in a panic, "Mother, I heard you screaming so loudly just now, is something wrong?" ”
"It's okay, I just met a snake." Xiao Yao was actually shocked, but she still tried to calm herself down in front of the child, and said, "It's okay now." ”
"Snake?!" He Ziyi couldn't believe it, "I'm in the bamboo forest every day!" How come I haven't encountered it? ”
"Look at you like this, do you still want to meet it?! Do you know that your mother and I are almost scared! Xiao Yao couldn't wait to shake her son's shoulders and scream, but in the end she couldn't help it, because He Yu dragged her into the inner room.
"I'm scared." He Yu touched her face and said with a worried expression.
Xiao Yao's face hadn't recovered yet, and her voice was still a little trembling, "Yes, how can there be a snake?" I'm most afraid of snakes. ”
He Yu took Xiao Yao into his arms and comforted him softly, "There are many grasses and trees in the palace, and we are not close to Kyushu Qingyan here, so naturally we have been neglected a lot, and it is not easy to take care of the bamboo forest, and over time, there may be snakes and other things." ”
"According to you, isn't there a rat in the bamboo forest behind you?" Xiao Yao's eyes widened.
He Yu chuckled, "Yes, yes, there must be, but don't forget that there are two cats in the bamboo forest!" ”
Yes, Xiao Yao suddenly forgot that there were two big cats in the bamboo forest, and the rat or something had long been frightened and didn't know where to hide, how could she still have the guts to run over. Thinking about it like this, Xiao Yao felt a lot more relieved, it is really good to have two big cats at home!
Encountering a snake in the backyard is thrilling, but it is in the past.
Xiao Yao wouldn't think about it, there were people all around the house, and snakes were also afraid of people, so how could they run into the house casually. Xiao Yao won't have anything to worry about.
After Shen Shi, He Zi'an came back with an empty food box, "Mother, I'm back." ”
"How? Is the county lord sick of Yan zhòng? Xiao Yao asked.
"Fortunately, I didn't cough much today, and the county lord also asked me to thank you, saying that the egg skin wrapped rice is very delicious, can Ming'er still make it." He Zi'an also said with a smile.
It seemed that he saw Yang Ning, and He Zi'an's heart was also relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.
Xiao Yao was also relieved when she heard this, and said, "Naturally, this is not a difficult matter, Ming'er will let the kitchen make some more, you can just send it over." ”
Hearing that he could go to the prince tomorrow, He Zi'an was naturally happy, and agreed in a row.
Taking advantage of He Zi'an's time to change clothes and clean his hands, He Yu said with a smile, "You just deliberately want to arouse the appetite of the little girl, and then ask our son to have a reason to send things." ”
"That's necessary," Xiao Yao was confident, "That's our future daughter-in-law, shouldn't we have more contact?" (To be continued......)
