Chapter 17 ◎ Gazebo meets again
Chu Yurui didn't know what Chu Yuzhen was having, and looked at Chu Yuzhen in embarrassment, but Chu Yuzhen still taught her to go around the palace, and she knew that most of the people who talked to Chu Yuzhen that day were King Ping. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking out of the main hall, I found that the people were much looser, although Emperor Huaxiang allowed him to move around, but there were also forbidden places, such as the harem.
Because she didn't know the situation in the palace, Chu Yurui didn't know which lady, so she had to hang out alone, following a group of official daughters.
The sky was getting dark, and the dotted lights on the water looked very beautiful in the twilight, and it turned out that they were putting river lanterns.
Several officials and daughters were still whispering by the river at first, and when they saw that there was no one around, they became louder after a while, making fun of each other. Ask what is written on the lantern.
The lady of the Li family said shyly: "No...... It's nothing. ”
The lady of the Zhao family approached and wanted to pick up the river lantern in the water, but was pulled by the lady of the Li family, and the lady of the Zhao family stepped into the water with one foot, wetting the skirt, and a group of people made a fuss like that, "You are not seeking marriage!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the face of the Li family lady turned even redder.
I don't know who mentioned it, and everyone began to talk about it--He Dingwang is wise and powerful, fighting on the battlefield all the year round, and is quite manly.
Then there was a negative voice, saying something like that, and said: "Didn't you see that the princess was so harsh to the little prince, and the concubines in the palace were probably not very good!" ”
"I just have that mind, and I don't have that guts. Then the princess is more than a tiger, don't you know...... A year ago, a pregnant concubine was beaten to death by her, and His Royal Highness King Ding never said anything, she was born noble, but she was the descendant of the old general of the previous dynasty, and her mind was arrogant, and she naturally couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. ”
Someone immediately retorted: "Even if you have a noble status and a proud mind, you can't treat human life as a mustard!" ”
"That's it, don't talk about it, you can see the expression of the Ten Emperor Uncles at today's banquet, it's really ......"
The lady of the Zhao family smiled, "You still dare to say that the Ten Emperor Uncles, I really sympathize with the princess in the past, fortunately, I have never married into the palace, if I do, what is the difference between being a widow and a widow?" ”
Chu Yurui yawned in the distance, feeling that this kind of gossip was really boring, so she continued to walk along the river.
There was a gazebo in the distance, the road was full of flowers, and he felt a little itchy on his body, Chu Yurui scratched his arm, there were still insects in this weather.
This path is very quiet, but Chu Yurui is not afraid, she is trying to find a quiet place to rest, and the gazebo in the distance has some light, like a lamp.
When Chu Yurui walked to the pavilion and saw that face, she realized that the person had deliberately attracted her.
There was no one else around the gazebo, and there were a few dishes on the table in the middle, and King Ping was looking at something with his back to her.
Chu Yurui raised her feet and was about to leave, but was stopped by King Ping.
"The little lady of the Chu family, it is really fate."
Chu Yurui twitched the corners of her mouth, wanting to see what this King Ping was going to do, "Yurui walked around, and she was not familiar with the terrain in the palace, so she disturbed His Royal Highness King Ping, and hoped that His Royal Highness King Ping would forgive him." ”
King Ping hurriedly said: "Xiao Wang is just idle and bored, here is quiet and quiet, I didn't expect to meet the lady, I just saw that the lady didn't eat much at the table, is it uncomfortable?" ”
Chu Yurui tried to squeeze out a smile, King Ping seemed to be sitting in the left column with her, he looked at her from the table? Don't stretch your neck and see! Besides, I have eaten a lot, but I still replied well, "Yu Rui has been a little weak in recent years, and she can't eat too much." ”
King Ping motioned for her to sit at the table, Chu Yurui took a look, there was also a pot of wine on the table, and the wine had already been poured in the wine glass.
King Ping raised his glass and said: "Xiao Wang respects the lady with a cup, and the lady is also a guest when she first arrives in Anping." With that, he drank all the wine in the glass, and then picked up the flask and filled it up.
Chu Yurui had already expected that since the prince personally toasted, he would inevitably get it back, and what Hua Xiangguo valued most was the exchange of courtesies.
"Yurui is not in good health, and I am afraid that I will not be able to drink." Chu Yurui acted as a matter of urgency, and secretly observed King Ping's expression.
Sure enough, King Ping was a little disappointed, but continued to persuade: "It's not interesting enough for the lady to be like this, Xiao Wang didn't teach Chu Niangzi to drink more, and the lady returned a cup and gave Xiao Wang a face." "After all, the smile is harmless, as if it is really just a return gift.
Chu Yurui picked up the wine glass in his right hand, paused, and the stone in his left hand suddenly flew to the flowers beside the path, King Ping heard the movement and got up in shock, "What person!" ”
At this moment, Chu Yurui swapped the wine glasses of the two, King Ping frowned, and silence returned to the surroundings, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Don't come out yet!"
Chu Yurui just wanted to say that maybe it was a wild cat that didn't need to be worried, but before she could open her mouth, she really heard a cat meow, and then a little palace maid came out and grabbed the cat, and saw King Ping kneeling down, trembling all over, and couldn't say anything.
"Which palace? Did you know that His Majesty has already decreed that cats are forbidden in the palace? King Ping frowned and asked, he was disturbed by a good thing, and he was suppressing his anger in his heart, wanting to attack on this little palace maid.
The little palace maid hurriedly replied: "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid should die...... Be...... It's Princess Ningyang, who said that it was boring to live in the deep palace for a long time, so she ......"
King Ping's face softened a little, "It turned out to be Princess Ningyang, she first came to the palace, she didn't know the rules set by His Majesty in the past, and you also connived at the master's nonsense?" I will spare you once this time, and if there is a next time, I will never spare you! ”
The little palace maid nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, yes, yes......"
"Let's go down." King Ping waved his hand, and the little palace maid hurriedly ran away with the cat as if she had been amnesty.
The two sat down again, Chu Yurui was a little puzzled, and asked, "His Royal Highness King Fang Caiping said that Princess Ningyang first came to the palace, what happened?" ”
King Ping took a sip of wine and said, "Oh, the lady doesn't know, Princess Ningyang was originally the daughter of the Yun family, called Yun Yuan, and then she was given the name Xining by His Majesty and named Ningyang." This is also because there are too few female dependents in the palace, and the queen mother takes a fancy to Princess Ningyang's willow catkins, so she is accepted as a righteous daughter. ”
Chu Yurui nodded, and found that King Ping was looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, and receiving that look, Chu Yurui drank all the wine in the cup, and asked, "What about this ......cat?"
King Ping was probably a little drunk, and his face began to turn red, "That was almost ten years ago, and Xiao Wang didn't know very well, it seemed to be ...... One of His Majesty's favorite concubines was caught by the cat of one of the concubines in the palace, but he didn't think that the captured concubine's body was too weak, so he became sick and almost died. Since then, there has been a rule that cats are not allowed in the palace. ”
After King Ping finished speaking, he felt that his breathing began to become heavy, and Chu Yurui in front of him held his cheek with one hand and looked at him with a wicked smile.
Gradually, Chu Yurui's figure began to blur, no matter how she looked, she couldn't see the person in front of her clearly, she was dizzy, and King Ping almost collapsed on the table.
