The autumn rain is cold, and the autumn wind sweeps the sadness of September. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info weaves a transparent rain curtain in mid-air, shaking the vicissitudes of time. It was overcast, and the candles on the table were swaying from side to side. Because the master went home for something, and it was raining again, Chu Yunzhao planned to go to Qingluan.

When he quietly walked under the window along the eaves of the corridor, he heard a low whimper in the Zhengyang Pavilion. Who is crying, Chu Yunzhao saw Qingluan standing in a corner through the window, Lianyi holding a ring ruler and hitting Qingluan's palm fiercely.

When he saw this scene, Chu Yunzhao hurriedly went into the house to dissuade him. You know, Qingluan is a little girl who is less than four years old. Being punished by Lianyi like this must be unbearable. Chu Yunzhao pulled Qingluan aside and pleaded with Lianyi: "She is still a child, my aunt should spare her......

"I can't even make tea!" Lianyi said, really hating iron but not steel. remembered that her mother Xianyun and her aunt Wanning were the best maids to serve in the Zhengyang Palace. What to make tea and water, what to make beds and quilts, it is not a problem.

But how did he get to Qingluan, but he was clumsy and couldn't learn anything. Lianyi looked at Chu Yunzhao's presence, and said to Qingluan unconsciously and sharply: "Now that His Royal Highness King Qing has come down, you won't salute and say hello?" Go and make tea for His Highness, go quickly! ”

Qingluan, who originally felt that he was wronged, was now guarding Chu Yunzhao, and his eyes were even more hazy with tears. It's just that Lianyi's order made her so frightened that she immediately burst into tears. Turning to face Chu Yunzhao, he curtsied and said, "Mu Qingluan, the maid of Zhengyang Pavilion, knock to see His Royal Highness King Qing!" ”

Mu Qingluan, that's right. It was Lianyi who gave her a surname, as a remnant of Xirong, the surname "Duanmu" is going to cause criticism. So Lianyi simply replaced it with the word "Mu", which sounded very good, at least it would not make the court talk nonsense.

"Wrong, wrong! The hand should be on the right knee! Lianyi tapped Qingluan's fingers and knees with a ring ruler while giving a stern lesson. At this time, Qingluan was already sore and weak, and his mind was a little dizzy. But she didn't dare to say half a word, so she had to swallow her tears.

No matter what, Lianyi is the aunt who brought her up. Qingluan respects her very much, so she has been learning court etiquette since June, and it has been three months, and she doesn't dare to make any mistakes. It's probably because she didn't do well enough, so Aunt Lian always punished her.

In Chu Yunzhao's opinion, Qingluan's hands had already been beaten red. Even though it was late autumn, fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. He was distressed for a while, and was about to wipe Qingluan's sweat. But I heard Lianyi say to Qingluan next to her: "Say hello again!" ”

"Mu Qingluan, the maid of Zhengyang Pavilion, knock to see His Royal Highness King Qing!" Qingluan curtsied again, her legs were weak, but she still endured. "Let's go and make tea for His Highness-" Lianyi was very satisfied with this salute, so she asked Qingluan to go to the teahouse to make tea.

The tearoom is at the back of the pavilion, with a large interstitial screen in between. But see Qingluan first soaked the tea leaves in the teapot, and then put them on the stove to warm. After pouring hot water on the tea set again, he picked up the small teapot and poured it into the tea cup in front of him. "Your Highness uses tea, and Aunt Lian uses tea." She held the teacup and held it respectfully.

Chu Yunzhao hurriedly got up and took it in his hand and drank it in one gulp. I didn't feel that I praised it: "The tea made by Luan'er is really delicious!" After he finished speaking, he asked Qingluan to pour him full, but who knew that Qingluan actually smiled: "Your Highness doesn't know, drinking tea is a taste, but two or three mouthfuls are drinking water for cows!" ”

"Little Nizi! Mouth full of nonsense! Lianyi slammed the teacup on the table, and then glared angrily, "Kneel!" Do you know what tea tasting is? I am still here to preach to His Highness, and I will admit my mistake to His Highness! She never thought that Qingluan would say this about Chu Yunzhao.

Qingluan, who was quite happy, listened to Lianyi's angry words. immediately accepted the smile, and didn't care about the pain in his legs, so he knelt on his knees and lowered his head: "Your Highness forgives the slave and maid, the slave and maid are just a joke, and I hope Your Highness doesn't need to care-"

The night was deep, and occasional bursts of thunder could be heard. Pushing open the window, a gust of wind blew. It seemed that the rain had stopped, and Lianyi walked into the bedroom next to her with the plaster. In order not to disturb Qingluan's sleep, Lianyi just opened the curtain and sat gently on the edge of the bed.

"Aunt Lian, I'll change it in the future, don't, don't beat me......" Qingluan, who is less than four years old, is thinking about these things in her dreams. It seems that her teaching is not too harsh, she looked at the sleeping Qingluan, and her heart was sour.

As an aunt of teaching, as the most trusted person of Xianyun and Wanning. Lian Yi had to reprimand Qingluan harshly, she thought Qingluan would be as strong as her mother. Who knew that since the day of training, there have been mistakes one after another, which made Lianyi feel ashamed of Xianyun and Wanning.

Originally, I wanted Xianyun to discipline Qingluan on my behalf. But Wan Ning said that Xianyun was soft-hearted, and she would definitely not be so strict, so she handed it over to Lianyi. And before Qingluan learns court etiquette, he is not allowed to meet Xianyun. This condition was a bit harsh, but Lianyi still gritted her teeth and agreed.

What worries Lianyi the most is that Qingluan is too young. Thinking of this, Lianyi sighed softly. Then he took out the plaster and applied medicine to Qingluan. Her little hands were swollen from her own beatings, and there were still blood marks between her fingernails.

But if it's not a strict requirement, how can you explain to Wanning and Xianyun. Nowadays, it is so difficult to learn to practice etiquette and learn to make tea. In the future, when the prince returns to the country, how will he serve the prince? The position of the emperor of Zhengyang Hall has to be handed over to Qingluan.

But fortunately, Wan Ning didn't explain the time. But thinking about the morning, Chu Yunzhao came to see Qingluan. Lianyi was a little alert, and she knew the situation in the palace best. The crown prince was a hostage in Shu, but he was the best for Qingluan and could best protect their safety in the palace.

Now there is suddenly another His Royal Highness King Qing, Chu Yunzhao, and he was specially arranged to read and write in the palace. And if he has to discipline himself, he will naturally inevitably see Qingluan from time to time. As a result, some subtle emotions ripple out, and will it evolve into a struggle for power?

Lianyi only vaguely felt that there would be a struggle between the emperor's heirs in the future. So training Qingluan to become the person next to the prince has become an urgent matter. Lianyi's plan is to learn the basic duties of a maid in this half year.

"Aunt Lian?" Qingluan felt a pain in her dream and opened her eyes slightly. saw that under the moonlight, Lianyi was sitting next to herself and giving herself medicine. There were tear stains in the corners of her eyes, like she had just cried. At that moment, Qingluan's heart was both happy and guilty.

She was glad that although Aunt Lian was a little stricter, she was a motherly heart. In order to see her mother as soon as possible, Qingluan secretly made up her mind that she would definitely study hard. But she felt guilty that she couldn't learn anything. Could it be that he was born stupid?

When I heard Aunt Lian talk about her mother before, I always felt that my mother was a careful person. What happened to herself, she lowered her head for a while, and her voice was indeed quite confident: "Aunt Lian, I'm sorry, I will definitely work harder!" Don't disappoint your aunt! ”

It can be heard that Qingluan is a hard-working child. It's just that at a young age, there will always be negligence in doing something. Lianyi gently stroked Qingluan's head, and said lovingly: "Auntie believes in you, but only my aunt has one more condition - she is not allowed to see His Royal Highness King Qing in the future!" ”

In fact, Lian Yi was also thinking about the prince who was far away in Shu, and he definitely couldn't let Chu Yunzhao take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole at this time. Everything she and Wanning are doing so far is for the crown prince. If all this is given to Chu Yunzhao, it will leave the prince with no place to stand.

It's just that Lianyi was so protective of Chu Yunzhao, but she didn't expect it. In order not to make himself angry, Qingluan secretly went to the North Pavilion to ask Chu Yunzhao for those etiquette. has been getting along for a long time, but it has become a weight in the power struggle in the future, but this is Lianyi's negligence.

The weather at the end of September was a little cool. The farther south the car went, the more humid the air became. After all, Shu is located inland, and you can even smell the smell of Yu Xia. Shu has a vast territory and abundant products. The land around Lushui is fertile and rich in fragrant tea. Wancheng is also a salt and iron processing factory, and the iron tools manufactured are sold all over the country.

If Donglu can take Shu State, it is equivalent to opening a huge resource bank in the south for himself. At that time, you can go all the way south and control Baiyue near the North Sea, and the territory of the eastern foot will be twice as large. It's just that the state of Shu has a long history, the country is rich and the people are strong, and it is difficult to deal with.

This time, Chu Yunhong was asked to go to Shu as a hostage, one was to gain the trust of Shu and temporarily stop fighting. The second is to ask Chu Yunhong to go to Shu to find out what the current national strength of Shu is. This is the reason why Wang Qibo wants to stay in Shu, and he can also protect the prince at any time.

In fact, the smart Chu Yunhong naturally knew this. He understood his father's painstaking efforts, so he set off after receiving the order. Now that he has just walked to the realm of Shu, the sky suddenly became gloomy. There was also a cool breeze blowing, sweeping the dust on the ground, blowing so that people's eyes could not open.

Helpless, Chu Yunhong had no choice but to order to stop the carriage and stay at a nearby inn for one night. Although the inn is small, it is a place where you can stay. Wang Qibo went to the backyard to tie the horse, and Chu Yunhong had been arranged to go upstairs to rest. "Childe is resting, dinner will be here in a while!" Xiao Er smiled politely.

On the small table, a few vegetarian dishes were quickly served. There was also a pot of warm wine, baked on a charcoal stove. "It's cold, drink some hot wine to warm up," Wang Qibo came from the back door, and had ordered the store to prepare earlier, "Let's go tomorrow, and Gongzi will rest early." ”

Looking at the wine and food in front of him, as well as the words Wang Qibo said, Chu Yunhong was very disgusted. Even though he was younger, he could still see it. This Wang Qibo must have been sent to keep an eye on him, you must know that Wang Qibo's incriminating evidence was discovered by him at the beginning.

It's just that why did you do this, and sent Wang Qibo to follow. Could it be that my father doesn't know why? Or is it not yet ripe to get rid of Wang Qibo? Chu Yunhong drank the wine silently, full of suspicion about this Wang Qibo, and there was not a single superfluous word on the road.

"Help, help—" A woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door, but it sounded very weak. When the store opened the door, he saw a woman covered in blood standing in the doorway. Chu Yunhong was about to ask what was going on, but when he saw the woman gasping a few times, she actually fainted.

There were bursts of footsteps outside the door, and Chu Yunhong had a moment of inspiration and blew out all the candles. The night was a little quiet, but the atmosphere was tense. Just as Chu Yunhong was silently blessing with his palms together, the footsteps had gradually moved away.

It's just that now this injured woman, what can I do? Her chest was covered in blood, and if she hadn't been left alone, those people might have caught up again. So Chu Yunhong instructed the store to find a Langzhong.

"Childe!" Wang Qibo lowered his voice and pulled Chu Yunhong aside, "Doesn't the son feel strange?" In this remote place, how could a girl's family be hunted down? I haven't known her identity yet, not to mention that she is in Shu Kingdom, so we have to guard against it-"

Chu Yunhong, who was already dissatisfied with Wang Qibo, could not listen to these words. What threat will a wounded little woman have? He ignored Wang Qibo, but said to the shopkeeper: "Go and open another room, invite a Langzhong, and I will pay the money in advance!" ”

Seeing Chu Yunhong making such a self-assertion, Wang Qibo had no choice but to obey his wishes. It's just that I don't know the details of this woman, and I still need to be vigilant everywhere. He didn't dare to sleep that night, just stood guard outside the door. Where is the news in Kyoto, he still has to explain it to Wanning.

The candles are dim, and the cold night is long. The wind was blowing the stumps of the branches, and the shadows swaying back and forth were reflected in the windows, like a prelude to a storm. Lang Zhong took the woman's pulse and bandaged the wound. wrote a prescription: "When you get to the city, just let her take these medicines." ”

The unconscious woman on the bed was a little pale, perhaps because of fright. Her long, thick hair looked more and more euphemistic in the night. It's like a star in the night sky, and it's like a gardenia after the rain, so quiet and sweet.

"You, who are you?" She couldn't help but convulse in pain, and suddenly woke up. Who will this childish little boy in front of him, but with a caring atmosphere? She didn't feel a little frightened, wrapped herself in the futon, and kept moving back.

When Chu Yunhong saw her wake up, he finally let go of his heart. He picked up a cup of tea, handed it to her, and said, "Don't be afraid, I saved you, you can drink a glass of water first." He was also curious about why this woman was hunted down.

The glass of water in front of him was Chu Yunhong's full concern. It's just that the woman shook her head slightly because she was afraid. She couldn't believe anything, especially this stranger. But seeing Chu Yunhong slowly put down the teacup, he turned to say, "Then you have to tell me, what is your name, where are you going, I can send you over." ”

She still shook her head, and didn't answer anything. From the look in her eyes, you can see the meaning of fear. Chu Yunhong tentatively took out the prescription again and said to her seriously: "Now that you are injured and need to take these medicines-I won't harm you-"

When I was in the palace before, I was facing Qingluan's crying. Chu Yunhong just took a string of gardenias, or took her out to play. Now in the face of this strange woman, he really has no way at all, and he is even a little lost.

I want to help others, but I am so neglected by others. He, the prince of Donglu, is not very qualified. There was no way, he had to put down the prescription and said to her: "Then you have a good rest, if you need anything, just tell me, I will be next door to you......"

The cold wind blew and disrupted the rhythm of the candle flame. When Chu Yunhong turned to leave, he suddenly heard the woman behind him say, "Little girl, thank you for saving your life!" "Her voice is so good, as crisp as a yellow warbler out of the valley. Listening to it in my ears, I feel like a spring breeze.

Chu Yunhong sat on the edge of the bed busily, shook his head with a smile and said, "With a lot of effort, why is my sister so polite?" Looking at the jade-like woman in front of him, Chu Yunhong thought that she couldn't speak. Unexpectedly, he spoke very politely, which made Chu Yunhong a little embarrassed.

"Sister?" When the woman heard this, she covered her face and cried: "Do I look that old? Do you want to call me sister? After she finished saying this, her tone was full of grievances. This is Chu Yunhong, who was in a hurry.

"Really, I'm really sorry," Chu Yunhong couldn't stop scratching his head, he really abruptly surprised this woman, "Dare to ask my sister's name?" "The first time I went out, I couldn't even speak. He was still wondering how muddy his mind might be.

Seeing her crying, Chu Yunhong hurriedly took the tea and said, "I apologize to my sister, isn't it okay to apologize?" Another "sister", Chu Yunhong was just about to realize that he had said the wrong thing. But the woman sobbed quietly again. This made Chu Yunhong scratch his head.

"You call me sister now, just to make me happy, I don't blame you," she choked up, "My girlfriend's name is Haoxue." Just live in Yingdu City, if you want to apologize, Ming'er will send me well-" Hearing her say this, Chu Yunhong was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly agreed.
