Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Sifang Post House is on the main road, and there happens to be a color shop in front of the door, so from today on, many strangers suddenly poured out around the post house, which brought a certain amount of trouble to Shen Ningxuan's task of guarding the envoys, and he had to dispatch more people to guard the various entrances and exits of the post house.

After breakfast, Kagina was still dressed up and went out with her maidservant. Shen Ningxuan stopped her in front of the door and said to her: "Princess Gina, there has been chaos on the street these days, if the princess has nothing important, it is safer to stay in the post house." ”

Kagina smiled at him: "General Shen, going out to play is the princess's business, and it is your business to protect the safety of the envoys, so what you should do is to patrol around and inspect the escort work of the post house, instead of standing here and blocking the princess's way." ”

Shen Ningxuan was speechless: "I just kindly reminded Princess Gina to pay attention to safety, if the princess must go out, you might as well let me arrange two accompanying guards for the princess." ”

"No need, this princess has a maid with her women, General Shen should worry more about his own affairs." Kagina dropped a sentence and walked away with her maid.

Her last sentence seemed to have something in her words, Shen Ningxuan felt a little strange, but he couldn't figure out what it was, so he simply didn't think about it first, as she said, walking around in the post house, patrolling back and forth.

Kerou has taken medicine for two days, her body has been very good, she is famous for her good dancing in Yiguo, after entering Beijing, she is not adapted, and she has been sick for a few days, and she has been in a hurry before, and she has not practiced dancing for many days. Before coming to the Great Zhou, she choreographed a new dance for several days, preparing to present a gift to Emperor Xuan on the morning day. The maidservant Chun'er also said that it was suitable for dancing today, so she simply asked Chun'er to take out her dance clothes and practice in the courtyard.

After a few times, I was already drenched in sweat, and my body couldn't bear the toss after the illness, and I was very tired. Chun'er prepared a soup bath for her in the room, she rested for a while, and when the sweat on her body was slightly collected, Chun'er was almost ready, and invited her to go in and bathe.

Kerou enters the room, strips off her dance clothes, revealing her even, slender body, and lifts her legs into the tub. The bath is filled with fresh milk squeezed out in the morning, and the water is sprinkled with freshly picked red petals, which is an inherent enjoyment after each dance practice. The water temperature was just right, and her sour body relaxed in a moment, so comfortable that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.

Shen Ningxuan according to the usual habit, every half an hour to take people to the Sifang Pavilion in the residence of the envoys to inspect again, and the Beiyuan residence next to the Yiguo residence, he just came out of the Beiyuan residence, he saw a person hurriedly running out of the Yiguo residence, it was Princess Kerou's personal maid Ling'er, when Ling'er saw him, as if she had seen a savior, she took his hand and said in a panic: "General Shen, it's not good, my princess seems to have fainted." ”

Shen Ningxuan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

While leading him to the residence, she sobbed and replied: "The princess likes soup baths after practicing dance, and the slave maid prepared a bath soup for her, but she has been in for a long time, and she has not come out, the slave and maid called her, she did not respond, and the door was locked from the inside, I can't get in, General Shen, I beg you to save my princess, if she has three long and two short, the slave and maid will die ten thousand times is not enough!" ”

Shen Ningxuan's footsteps froze: "You mean Princess Kerou is bathing?" ”

Seeing him hesitate, Ju'er continued to urge: "General Shen, my princess is in the soup bath, but her body is already weak, in case there is an accident in the bath after fainting, none of us can afford this responsibility, you should think of a way." ”

"There is a difference between men and women, I broke in rashly, even if it was to save people, spreading it would damage the reputation of the princess." Shen Ningxuan replied.

"General Shen, why are you so pedantic, is the princess's reputation important, or is her life important? Besides, there are other guards here, and if anyone gossips in the future, we can all testify for you. Ju'er was so anxious that she knelt down: "General Shen, I beg you, you can help save my princess." ”

Shen Ningxuan was still hesitating, and some guards couldn't stand it, so they also persuaded loudly: "General, she has a point, let's go save the princess." ”

Seeing that everyone said this, and the situation was indeed urgent, Shen Ningxuan finally stopped worrying and said to Ju'er: "Hurry up and lead the way!" ”

Tearing away her tears, she hurriedly stood up and led the way, and soon arrived outside the room where Princess Kerou was bathing. Shen Ningxuan knocked on the door a few times and shouted, "Princess Kerou, Princess Kerou, are you okay?" Please reply. ”

The room was quiet, and there was no sound to be heard, and Ju'er also stepped forward and shouted: "Princess, I'm Ju'er, princess, you should ...... me."

Shen Ningxuan exchanged glances with the other guards, and it seemed that this Princess Kerou was afraid that something had really happened. He pushed the door, and sure enough, he didn't move, and Ling'er was so anxious that he had no master, and kept asking him: "General Shen, what should I do, the door can't be opened, what should I do?" ”

Shen Ningxuan's face sank, and he said to the left and right: "You guys retreat." ”

Ju'er led people to retreat to the side of the wooden door, Shen Ningxuan raised his leg and kicked the door, he was a person who practiced martial arts, and when he stepped down, the wooden door fell in response. The sound of water in the room was loud, and a person stood up from the bucket, **** body, only to see dazzling white skin, long hair as black as brocade, strands on the body, black and white are so dazzling, as if all the colors of heaven and earth were the original.

Ju'er was pleasantly surprised: "Princess, you're okay, I'm scared to death, why don't you answer!" ”

Shen Ningxuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, retreated to the side of the wooden door, and explained to Princess Kerou in the house: "Princess Kerou, please forgive me for being reckless, your maid said that you may have been unconscious in the bath, and in the next moment, Fang broke in and kicked the door, please forgive the princess!" ”

Princess Kerou came back to her senses and found that she was still standing naked in the bathtub, hurriedly took the clothes from her hands and draped them on her body, and replied apologetically: "It's Kerou who was too tired to accidentally fall asleep, don't blame General Shen." ”

Shen Ningxuan immediately said goodbye: "Since the princess is fine, then take the guards to retire first." ”

Princess Kerou said, "General Shen walks slowly. ”

As soon as Shen Ningxuan left, Princess Kerou sat back in the bathtub and said to herself, "Why did I fall asleep, just before I ......?"

Ju'er patted her chest and said: "Fortunately, princess, you are fine, the slaves and maids are about to be scared to death, you are really, the slaves and the maids and General Shen screamed so much, didn't you hear them?" ”

Princess Kerou shook her head: "No, I slept too deeply, and I woke up when I heard the sound of kicking the door." ”

Ju'er said: "Maybe the princess is too tired, the slave and maid help you to rest for a while." ”

Kerou smiled at her softly: "Also, I'm too anxious, I shouldn't practice for so long, let's go." ”
