Chapter 31 XXXI
thirty-one
For many days after that, Xu You was very weak-hearted, and she was afraid that His Royal Highness King Qi would come down to settle accounts with her. Later, after thinking about it, I understood it again. In fact, the one who wants to kill people the most may be His Royal Highness King Qi, after all, being molested by a cat or something is not a glorious thing.
She heard the little maids in the palace chew their tongues and say that King Qi's clothes were torn that day - it turned out that she was so drunk and violent!
After a while, the palace was calm, and Xu You couldn't sit still.
She felt that her heart was a little wild, especially since she had been with King Qi last time, one of her hearts flew out of the city like wings, and she never came back.
However, she didn't dare to sneak out again. Zhao Cheng would be angry - that reason alone was enough.
She is even more embarrassed to play with King Qi, although His Royal Highness King Qi magnanimously forgave her for her recklessness and shamelessness, but Xu You still has to be cheeky, a young man from a good family or something, just a stinky hooligan who flirts with a woman from a good family, and cannot be forgiven!
So Xu You wanted to encourage the teapot to go out with her. If a cat and a dog disappeared at the same time, wouldn't the people in the house be so worried?
As for the second lack of parrots, Xu Yu didn't think about it at all, that cheap bird's beak is so annoying, it's just a noisy long-tongued woman, she up her ears and listens to the feet of the wall all day long, and she still learns to speak vividly, and now the little maids in Liyuan don't dare to discuss the rights and wrongs of others in private!
In a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of May, and Princess Rui's birthday was approaching. The second lack of parrots is particularly excited, it recently learned a new piece of music, thinking that it sang very tactfully, one day I really couldn't help it, took the opportunity to fly to Princess Rui to flatter, a song sung down, the effect was very shocking, Princess Rui's teacup fell to the ground she didn't wake up, Prince Rui even hid his face and fled. On the day of Prince Rui's birthday, he heard that the troupe was going to perform, and he was so frightened that he almost fled.
The second parrot became famous in a war, and even His Majesty the Emperor heard of its name, and once asked King Rui about it, which made King Rui cry and laugh.
By mid-May, Xu You finally waited for the opportunity to leave the house openly.
This time it was because of Zhao Chengjin's sixth birthday, and King Rui gave him a pony as a gift as he wished, Zhao Chengjin was overjoyed, and on the second day, he led a cat, a dog, a parrot, and a group of guards to run out of the city to run horses.
It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the horse is running, Zhao Chengjin can't even get on horseback, the guards don't dare to let him mess around, they only pick him up on the back of the horse and walk in small steps by the subordinates.
Zhao Chengjin was very excited, his eyes were bright, it was difficult for him to go out of the city, he felt fresh when he saw everything, and even his voice was much higher.
"You see, it's a lake. This lake is really big, bigger than the lake in the Imperial Garden! There is a large lotus flower in the lake, and boats! Let's go over and have a look......" So, the excited little Shizi completely left the horseback riding thing behind. He seemed to have seen something remarkable, and he flew over.
Xu You didn't feel much disappointed, she was more interested in the tall and strong horse, and felt the pleasure of the galloping speed, as for the docile little mare, she expressed no interest at all. Hearing that there was a boat, Xu You also became excited, spread his hooves and quickly followed.
The second parrot took the lead and flew onto the boat before Zhao Chengjin, the teapot followed, Xu You deliberately dragged it out, so Zhao Chengjin personally carried her on the boat. Shen Rong secretly pursed his lips and smiled, and winked at Xu You.
Second, the parrot is so jealous that his eyes are red!
This idiot, even with its walnut-sized little brain, dares to compete with her for favor, it's just cannon fodder! It's better to learn from other people's teapots, although it's a little stupid, but it's rare to be honest and honest, this is what a real pet should look like. Xu Yu thought arrogantly.
The guards rowed their boats slowly into the green lotus leaves, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of oars plucking between the lake and the chirping of birds in the distance. Looking at it, there was a green in front of him, the vigorous vitality was extending little by little, and the scattered lotus leaves would occasionally poke into the side of the ship, Zhao Cheng folded a lotus leaf and covered Xu You's head, but her whole body was covered inside.
Nasty imp! Xu You drilled his head out from under the lotus leaf, stared at Zhao Chengjin angrily with round eyes, but Zhao Chengjin laughed, grinning and showing a mouthful of white teeth, very happy.
"Whew-" The second parrot suddenly spoke, and the goose-like harsh voice immediately broke the silence around him, and Xu You's head was suddenly full of black lines.
Since this cheap bird sang a song to scare the two of Rui Wang Ye and his wife back, it has lost the momentum to sing, and then changed careers and began to learn poetry, at first it was just a few sour staff members in the palace who love to sing poetry to learn a few words, although the voice is ugly, but it can also be said into sentences, words to convey the meaning, but not long after, this guy began to make up his own unknowingly.
Then, every day from morning to night, the whole of Liyuan can read the masterpiece of the cheap bird, all kinds of pretentiousness, all kinds of words do not make sense, it is simply unbelievable and unbearable.
At a critical time, Shen Rong made a move! He unceremoniously raised the oar in his hand and coughed twice at the cheap bird, and the cheap bird's voice immediately lowered, "Woohoo lament......" Then, no longer heard.
The surroundings finally quieted down, and Zhao Cheng breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"It's so nice here, isn't it?" The boat glanced at the lake for half an hour, and Zhao Cheng whispered to Shen Rong: "It's even better than in the palace." ”
Shen Rong whispered: "Not only is the scenery here good, there is also a large flower field on the east bank of the lake, which is the land of Lianyun Flower House in the capital. ”
"Really? Is that flowering now? Zhao Chengjin asked excitedly.
"The begonias have been thanked for a long time, but there is jasmine here, although the flowers are not big, the fragrance is refreshing."
Xuanning Hall has planted a lot of jasmine, and it blooms very well in summer, and the quiet fragrance can fill the entire Ruiwang Mansion. However, Zhao Chengjin was not particularly interested in this, and after asking a few words casually, he gave up, beckoning the guards to go around the small lake, until Xu You was hungry, and pulled him into Zhao Chengjin's arms to "meow" and coquettishly, and then he let the guards row ashore.
The attendants were all waiting on the shore, and when they came back, Cui Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly beckoned Xue Fei and the little maids to warm up the food they had prepared before going out. The big bowls and small dishes were lined up, and there were more than a dozen kinds of them, which immediately stopped Xu You, a turtle who had never seen the world!
During the meal, the second parrot was hit again, because among the three pets, only Xu You could enjoy the treatment of sitting and eating with Zhao Chengjin, and the teapot and it were all pulled aside by the little maids to eat Xiaozao. The teapot has long been used to it anyway, wagging its tail and eating happily, the second lack of parrots is full of grief and indignation, and they can't help but howl when they take a bite of millet, and the sad and depressed appearance makes everyone speechless and choked.
Xu You thought to himself, but it was also a loss that this cheap bird was just a parrot, and if he was a person, he used this clumsy means to compete for favor, and he didn't know what the Dao had been cleaned up for. It can still howl and make everyone laugh, and it should be satisfied! Xu Youke didn't realize that as a human being, there is no limit to competing with a bird for favor.
Zhao Chengjin is quite calm, sometimes this child's face will show maturity and indifference that does not match his age, the second lack of parrots is like this, he was not amused to laugh, so he turned his head sideways to look at it twice, hooked the corners of his mouth, turned around, put a chopsticks on the belly of the fish and put it in the small dish in front of Xu You, and said, "Xuetuan, eat fish." ”
Xu You was very happy!
Zhao Chengjin was rarely able to go out of the city, his heart was about to fly out, and he couldn't wait to stay outside to play crazy, Cui Yu urged many times, and he finally boarded the carriage back to the city stupidly.
"Next time...... Well, I called the prince's brother, and the Seventh Emperor Uncle, and the father, let's go to Qiyun's Zhuangzi to live together, I heard my mother say that there is a hot spring there......" On the way back to the city, Zhao Cheng hugged Xu Yu and chattered, and Shen Rong said a sentence from time to time. The two little ones were a little tired from playing, and began to doze off as they spoke, and their little brains were little by little, and they simply crooked in their seats after the last moment.
Xu You didn't feel sleepy, but seeing that the two of them were dozing lively, they were finally infected, and after a few big yawns, they formed a ball on Zhao Chengjin's knees and fell asleep.
I thought I would sleep all the way to the palace, but I didn't expect something to happen on the way. Because they had set out late, and when they were about to reach the gate of the city, it was already getting dark, and seeing that the gate was about to be closed, the guards who were driving the carriage hastened their whips, and hurried into it with all their might, not wanting to collide with the same group of men and horses who had hastened into the city.
Fortunately, the carriage that Zhao Cheng took out today was given by the Queen Mother, specially made in the palace, although the appearance was plain, it was actually sturdy and comfortable, and the guards of the carriage were skillful, so they won a big victory in the collision, and their carriage only shook a few times and it was not a big deal, but the other party's carriage crashed straight into the city wall, making a huge bang.
The teapot was the fastest, and it got out of the carriage with a bone, flicking its tail to watch the excitement. There were a few stray dogs at the gate of the city, and when they saw the teapot from afar, their eyes lit up, and they ran over and wagged their tails at it flatteringly. Teapot, a good and honest child, did not dislike others at all, and immediately played with these stray dogs.
Xu You also pulled the curtain and jumped to the seat outside the carriage to see what was going on, and the second parrot moved faster than her, flew out of the carriage and stopped on the roof of the carriage, howling vigorously at the top of the throat, "Dead, dead......" This is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, it makes people want to whip its paws!
She was puffing out her face and glaring angrily at the second parrot, Zhao Chengjin suddenly stretched out a hand from the carriage and dragged her in, a immature little face became very serious, and whispered to Xu You: "Don't go out, just let Guard Liu deal with it." ”
Xu Yu narrowed his eyes, a little understood.
As the brother of today's saint, the identity of Prince Rui determines that he has no way to be too low-key, every move, word and deed is stared at, and those imperial historians are only eager to use a magnifying glass to find out the slightest flaw in him. As the prince of King Rui's mansion, not to mention that the city gate is not closed now, it is closed, and the guards guarding the city dare not let them enter the city. But why did the guards rush to the front with all their might, wasn't it just to avoid raising the name of the Rui Palace?
Therefore, Zhao Cheng refused to show up, and only asked the guards to come forward to solve the problem.
Seeing that Zhao Chengjin didn't come out, the second parrot even got into the carriage, his little eyes slipped a few times, and he jumped back and stood next to Zhao Chengjin.
There was a commotion outside, and Xu You even heard the sound of the other party scolding and scolding, but after a while, it was quiet again. A few minutes later, the carriage moved again, and the guard beckoned the teapot to return, and the teapot reluctantly returned to the carriage.
As soon as he got in the car, he enthusiastically licked the two parrots, and was pecked by the ruthless cheap bird, and the poor teapot was very aggrieved, and turned his head to look at Xu Yu pitifully. Xu You really couldn't see its pitiful little eyes, so he comfortingly stretched out his paw and patted it, and the eyes of the teapot immediately lit up, and he enthusiastically rushed over to have a close contact with Xu You......
If Xu Youzhi knew that the nightmarish things that happened later in Lu Dao were due to the soft-heartedness at this time, she would never let the fool of the teapot get into the carriage!
That stupid dog! Idiot! A stinky dog with a thousand cuts! Shave her! Light! Finish! Hair!
