28. Chapter XXVIII
Just like the eve of the trip in the past, the foal who had been sleepy in the stable for a long time untied the reins, and the excited Xin Hui turned over and over on the bed to make pancakes, counting countless cats and dogs, and still had no sleep.
In the end, he simply sighed, turned over and sat up, and asked Gong E to prepare for supper.
It rained all day, the starry sky was shining, bright as pearlescent, and the air was fresh as if filtered from the leaves, with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms.
In the quiet of the night, hearing only a faint and distant cough, she remembered the poor frog who had been used as her substitute for the dead ghost, and the man with the sword, the eyebrows and eyes...... With a snort in her mouth, she casually lifted the cloth cover of the thrush cage in front of her, only to see the bird's head resting in her arms and sleeping groggily grinding her teeth, a silly manner, she couldn't help laughing, and she was in a good mood for no reason.
Peony explained that it was raining today, and she had a fever at night, and she had just fallen asleep now, and she was on duty.
Xin Hui was a pity, and said that the two of them held hands tomorrow, but it seemed that the beautiful teeth were unlucky.
Peony replied, prepared the meal, but did not retreat, and stood aside to watch Xin Hui eat spoonful of porridge.
Xin Hui ate slowly, and glanced at her: "It's useless to see, I don't have beautiful teeth, but I can't take you." "Meiya's needle-pointed heart and eyes, when I come back, I can't be angry again. Alas, it's a pity, but when she came, she said that she wanted to eat the most famous fairy fish cake in Chu State, Keats fish fillet.
Peony sneered and said, "Madam, how dare the slave and maid be on the same page as Sister Meiya." It's just that the slave has a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not......" She looked left and right, lowered her voice, and stopped talking.
Xin Hui frowned at her, and it was not appropriate to talk about what else was going on.
Peony knew that Miss didn't like her thief's eyebrows, so she hurriedly threw out half of the words that had been hanged: "Madame, don't you know, the Miss Cui in Shouning Palace two days ago was sick......
Xin Hui thought of that punch, and couldn't help but feel distracted, and snorted: "There is no evidence - this can't rely on me." β
Peony waved her hand: "Madame doesn't know that Miss Cui is strangely ill, she is confused for a while, awake for a while, cold during the day, but feverish at nightβand, I heard, her two personal palace ladies are sick." β
Xin Huiqi said: "What kind of disease is this? β
Seeing that Xin Hui didn't hear the point, Peony lowered his voice: "I don't know what kind of illness it is." But, ma'am, this matter is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. It's not that the slave is talkative, it's just that the young lady, after all, that person is also from over there, so you have to guard against it. You have a good heart, but everyone has seen it now, and you are still there, madam, so she will show the king that way, if you are behind your back, I don't know how many moths. Madam, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, today she only begs you to take it in, tomorrow, maybe Xiao will think of other things......"
Xin Hui lost his appetite and glanced at the peony: "No wonder the ancients said: food is silent." When Mama Xu instructed you, didn't she tell you that everything will stop at the end of the day. β
Today, after Yuan Qi talked to the king of Chu in the court, first Meiya, and then Mama Xu, you come and I take turns to fight, and I have talked to Xin Hui a lot.
But they don't want to, a palace lady just said a few words to the king, and was immediately found to deal with it, once it spreads, this queen should be said to be too intolerant of people, when she is too trembling and trembling, it really hurts her face.
Peony wanted to use the east wind of Meiya and Mama Xu to win a good impression of being smart and credible, but she didn't want to touch her nose directly.
She also wanted to say that she was waved back by Xin Hui, and when she went out, she immediately had goosebumps on her back and neck, and it was a cold day.
She rolled up her sleeves, picked up the palace lamp, the two little palace ladies followed, when she turned the corridor, she suddenly heard a sound of Xi Xi Suo, turned her head to look, under the rickety palace lamp, the shadow cast was cold and weird, but when she looked at it again, there was nothing, her heart trembled, and she immediately grabbed the cloak and accelerated her pace.
The night is dark.
Being stirred by the peony like this, Xin Hui's excitement was much less, and he lay on the couch in his clothes, and fell asleep in a moment, and this sleep actually slept directly until dawn.
The moment the sunlight shone through the window, she jumped up and quickly turned her head to look at the hourglass beside her.
Ahh
She secretly scolded this unreliable peony in her heart, and even forgot to call her. At this time, I couldn't take care of much, I put on my shoes while getting out of bed, but fortunately, I had already changed my clothes and clothes and slept on my clothes, and the two little palace ladies immediately came up with water to wash.
Xin Hui finished cleaning up like a gust of wind, waited left and right, but did not see the inner chamberlain of the king of Chu come to pass the word, turned around the hall a few times, and was waiting for the scorched hair, then saw Da Jizi panting with two chamberlains, holding clothes and rewards, listening to his confirmation, his heart was relieved.
But-
Isn't it that micro-clothes are generally men dressed as women, oh no, women dressed as men?
Give her such a set of such ...... What is such an "ethereal" blouse to do!
She picked up the Jiangnan blouse with tulle and wide sleeves, and after a long time, she finally found a similar adjective.
As expected, Da Jizi smiled with a wrinkled face: "The king wants the old slave to convey to his wife, since it is a micro-service to go on patrol, then naturally the truth shall prevail, if it is a woman dressed as a man, the description of the lady is easy to be self-defeating." β
Xin Hui's eyelids jumped: "This 'description'? β
Da Jizi selectively backs his ears, laughs but does not speak, and listens poorly.
Xin Hui pulled his tight men's shirt, this dress must have been pitted when Chen Guozhi made it, and it was so tight after washing two waters, it was really cheap and not good.
She reluctantly picked up the women's dress on the plate, and compared it on her body, and felt that the fabric was really light, which was very different from Chen Guo's textured and stiff fabric, and it was also different from all her regular clothes and wide skirts in the Chu Palace.
Seeing this, Da Jizi immediately explained intimately: "This is the costume of the folk women of Dachu, and it is specially prepared by the king for his wife. β
Xin Hui's fingers were slightly forced, and he was a little worried: "This clothes, if you use a little force, you will be torn." She frowned: If you are micro-suited, it is indispensable to ride a horse over the wall, which is not very convenient.
Da Jizi Leng heard his wife ask like this, and immediately thought of the mighty state of the King of Chu who killed the tiger with his bare hands, and his old face suddenly turned red: "This ...... The old slave didn't know. β
But as long as you can get out, it's inconvenient to lose it.
She motioned for Gong E to take off her clothes, and was about to change her clothes, when she suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "I pretend to be an ordinary woman, what is the king of Chu pretending to be?" Her eyes rolled, "Isn't it my husband?" β
Da Jizi was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he said slowly: "This, the king said that he will know when his wife sees it." β
