Chapter 24 Making Tea
"The princess is not good! Oh no! ”
Xia Ru woke up suddenly and sat up from the soft couch. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhuxiang glanced at Xia Ruqian, and hurriedly went up to pull the clouds.
"Be quiet, the princess is just taking a nap! Don't scare the princess. ”
"It's okay, let the clouds in."
Xia Ruqian stood up and handed the blanket on her body to Zhuxiang.
"But there's someone from the palace?"
"Uh-huh, how did the princess know?!"
I'm really afraid of something.
"How?"
"Father-in-law Li came to deliver the decree, saying that the Queen Mother was invited."
"Is the messenger still there?" Xia Ruqian asked anxiously.
"When I left, I was in the antechamber."
"Hurry up and take me."
Yun Duo led Xia Ruqian to the front hall in a hurry, and the proclaimed Li Gonggong was ready to leave.
"Father-in-law has worked hard." Xia Ruqian stepped forward and grabbed him, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and put it in Gonggong Li's hand.
"Well, it's not good." Gonggong Li raised his eyebrows and looked at the weight of the silver in his hand, smiled coquettishly, and put the silver away.
"The bus is tired, and it deserves it."
"The princess broke the bank." Gonggong Li nodded with a smile, poked his head over and whispered: "The Queen Mother is in a bad mood today, she is losing her temper, it seems that someone provoked Miss Ning Qing, crying so much, so if you are not wronged, the princess should be careful." ”
"Thank you father-in-law for the point."
After sending off Gonggong Li, Xia Ruqian immediately said to Zhuxiang: "Bring a pen and paper." ”
Xia Ruqian pondered for a while, and wrote four words on the rice paper.
"Zhuxiang, send this letter to the prince. Be sure to deliver it to the prince in person! ”
"Yes."
I hope the prince can understand.
Xia Ruqian settled down, and then entered the palace accompanied by Yunduo.
The Imperial Palace, Kunyi Palace.
"I have seen the queen mother shallowly, and the queen mother is blessed with longevity and health."
Xia Ruqian looked around, but she didn't see Ning Qing. But the Queen Mother's expression was very calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Get up." The Queen Mother raised her hand and said to Mama Li, "Sit." ”
"Thank you, Mother."
Feelings of unease began to spread.
Which song is this singing by the Queen Mother?
"I recruited you today, there is nothing else, the mourning family has not seen Ze'er for a few days, thinking about his injury, I have been worrying, Ze'er is busy with official business, and the mourning family is not easy to disturb, so I can only announce you into the palace and ask, is the prince's injury better?"
Ask about the injury? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?!
"When I returned to my mother, I was already healed."
"Well, that's good. The mourning family is finally relieved. The Queen Mother took a sip of the teacup and spit it out: "Mama Li, what's the matter with this tea?" Why is it so unpleasant? ”
"The Queen Mother is angry, Miss Ningqing is not here today, and the palace maid who made tea has asked for leave again, so it was made by an old slave."
"Oh? Didn't Ning Qing come? ”
"Yes."
Xia Ruqian had a feeling of unease.
"I heard that the princess's tea art is also the top in Kyoto, why don't you let the mourning family taste the princess's craftsmanship?"
Xia Ru pulled her mouth and squeezed out a smile.
Tea?
Can you barely make do with tea, make tea?!
"After returning to my mother's words, shallow today..."
"What's the matter, the mourning family doesn't move you?"
"No, it's not."
"That's good, Mama Li." The Queen Mother glanced at Mama Li, and Mama Li moved a set of tea sets and placed them in front of Xia Ruqian.
Xia Ruqian frowned, thought for a long time, first placed the teapot on the charcoal fire and boiled, and then took the tea leaves from the jar with a small spoon and put them in the teapot.
There were also a series of utensils in front of the table, and Xia Ruqian couldn't even describe those peculiar utensils, let alone use them.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided to leave him alone.
Mama Li frowned, stared at Xia Ruqian's movements, and sighed.
Xia Ruqian took down the boiling teapot, poured the tea into the teacup, and carefully handed it to Mama Li.
Mama Li turned around and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother only sniffed it and immediately put the teacup on the ground.
"Bold Xia Ruqian, relying on her identity as a princess, so she doesn't take the mourning family in her eyes, is this okay?! Come on, drag it out and hit the 30 boards! ”
"The queen mother is angry, but she is shallow." Xia Ruqian immediately fell to the ground and said loudly.
The guards who rushed in paused slightly.
"What are you still doing? Didn't you hear the words of the mourners?! ”
"Yes." The guards responded, and they all came up to pull Xia Rushallow.
This board is probably settled.
What tea is not tea, it's just an excuse.
Xia Ruqian gritted her teeth and stopped making a sound.
Soon, the executive guards set up the bench, and Xia Ruqian was suppressed and couldn't move.
The person who played the board did not leave any mercy, and when the first board went down, Xia Ruqian only felt that his buttocks seemed to be burned by the fire, and it hurt fiercely.
"Ahh Xia Ruqian gritted her teeth, desperately gritting her teeth, but she still couldn't help but shout.
Board after board, no gaps, no stops.
All the sensations were concentrated on the back of the buttocks, the board touched the clothes, and the clothes touched the skin, and then, the sound of flesh and blood splashing almost drove Xia Ruqian crazy.
Xia Ruqian clenched his fists, forcing himself to wake up, but he still passed out in pain.
Then he was woken up by the splash of water. Cold water penetrates through clothing and invades flesh and blood, and it is a new round of training.
It hurts a little longer, and it's good to get through it, and it'll be fine right away.
Xia Ruqian opened his eyes in a trance and comforted himself in his heart.
Suddenly, the guards stopped.
Xia Ruqian opened her eyes and glanced at it indiscriminately, but she was puzzled in her heart.
Thirty boards, is it already over?!
"Stand down."
The low and hoarse voice of the Nine Princes came from his head, like a heavenly sound illuminating Xia Ruqian's world.
Xia Ruqian finally saw those eyes clearly.
It is the eyes of the Nine Princes.
Xia Ruqian pulled her lips, gave the Nine Princes a smile, and then passed out.
"Presumably the queen mother is also tired today, let's stop here today, my son will bring shallow to ask for sin another day, and I will take her back today."
The Nine Princes didn't know where their anger came from or what it was for.
It's just that I hate it when I see Xia Ruqian's dying appearance. Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, the Nine Princes had already turned around and left with the unconscious Xia Ruqian in his arms.
When the Ninth Prince first received Xia Ruqian's distress letter, he thought it was funny.
Why did she think she would come to save her?!
Dead lips and cold teeth.
Four words on the letterhead.
The Ninth Prince was a little smiling, even if Xia Ruqian really died, the fire would not be able to burn him.
Because she's not her own lips. Xia Ruqian seems to be thinking too much, she is not that important.
However, after thinking about it for a while, the Nine Princes decided to take a look.
It's just to use her to block some trouble.
The Nine Princes thought so, and entered the palace.
However, when I saw her lying on the chair, I couldn't even scream in pain, and my heart hurt suddenly.
