At this time, the banquet was coming to an end, and the white tiger that Jiang You wanted to see the most had been kept far away, and she easily took the opportunity to disperse, and quietly slipped to the cage not far away, she looked at the white tiger lying lazily, and looked at the two tigresses Shuguifei and Xu Meiren not far away with relish.

There are many times for concubines to quarrel and be angry, and she sees Quan as a pastime after tea and dinner, and only hates that the two can't fight.

Concubine Shu has not been favored all these years, all relying on the relationship of the queen mother to ascend to the throne all the way, the original low rank and Xu Meiren have always been discordant, now seeing her down, naturally stepped on it hard, she helped the sideburns of the silk point cuijin step sway: "It turned out to be Xu Meiren, you don't look at it when you walk, this palace is not more deserted than the Taimiao, the palace is full of nobles, and you can afford to offend one?" ”

These words really poked Xu Meiren's heart, she maintained a half-squatting posture, but her hands couldn't help clenching, but after a turn of thought, she couldn't help but endure it, took a deep breath and said: "It's the concubine who is rude and collides with the mother, and everyone in the palace knows that the mother is kind, and she must not worry about the concubine." ”

Concubine Shu was blocked by these words, and paused before tucking her nose and said: "What kind of incense powder are you plasing, such a strong smell, you can smell it from afar, are you planning to attract bees and butterflies?" She lowered her eyes and said disdainfully: "Now that the first emperor has only been there for a short time, who are you greasing and powdering to show it?" ”

Xu Meiren's face turned red, and her expression could not hide her shame, everyone who knows a little about spices knows that the higher the quality of the incense powder, the lighter the taste, but it is elegant and lasting, only the inferior fragrance powder will taste rich and strong. In her current situation, the Internal Affairs Office is naturally changing the law, and it is strange that it can pick the good ones for her.

She was angry in her heart, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at a blooming spring flower in the distance, and sighed: "Time is fleeting, women are like flowers, and they wither in a few days. She deliberately raised her eyes to look at Concubine Shu: "But Niangniang has a skill in residing her face, so you don't have to worry about this." ”

What she said was obviously a sigh of time, but in fact, she was sarcastic about Concubine Shugui's age, she had only been in her two decades and was about to wither, not to mention Concubine Shugui, who was much older than her.

Concubine Shugui's face turned pale: "Okay, good, your courage is not small, who gave you the courage?!" She suddenly sneered again: "It's a pity that you throw your face and chase after others to be the opposite person, and you don't accept it, do you really think that he can support you with a little bit of fellow countrymen?" ”

Jiang You, who was watching the play on the side, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, what does it mean to chase others to make the right food? She was pondering the meaning of this, and Concubine Shu over there couldn't help but let the grandmother below teach people.

Xu Meiren also regretted a little after speaking, at this time she saw a tricky-looking grandmother walking straight towards her, she panicked, subconsciously took a few steps back, but did not pay attention to the steps behind her, she staggered, the handkerchief in her hand accidentally fell out, was blown by the wind and floated up, and then flew straight into the cage, and suddenly covered the nose of the sleeping king of beasts.

There's a saying called tiger fart. I can't touch it, but this is not right, there is no part of the tiger's body that can move, as soon as the fragrant handkerchief covers its nose, it immediately opens its eyes, looks up to the sky and roars, it is a little crazy by the smell, the person stands up and makes a pounce posture, two paws poke out of the cage, and pounce straight towards Jiang You not far away.

This cage is made of fine fine iron, of course, it will not be broken by this white tiger as soon as it pounces, but it is extremely powerful, and the cage shook left and right for a while, and smashed straight towards Jiang You.

This happened suddenly, and no one on the side reacted, no matter whether Jiang You was hit by an iron cage or pounced on by a tiger, it was a fatal thing, and it was too late for the people on the side to rush to help.

Jiang You was also frightened and froze in place, subconsciously raised her feet to run, but she didn't run out of the range where the iron cage fell, seeing a bloody mouth approaching, she was so panicked that she subconsciously closed her eyes, but felt a tightness around her waist, and then was hugged into her arms.

Xue Yuan protected her with one hand and stepped back, pursed her lips and whistled, and several brocade guards flew to the hall, took out iron claws from their waists, straightened and hooked the cage, and then several people used force at the same time, and forced the fine iron cage that was about to fall down to straighten, and several people staggered out a few steel cables, and firmly tied up the white tiger who was still crazy.

At this time, Concubine Shu and Xu Meiren were so frightened that they were paralyzed in place, Xue Yuan glanced at the two of them with a frosty mask, and he didn't say anything, but his eyes turned around, and immediately someone from Dongchang dragged the two down, and the faces next to him didn't dare to plead, so they could only see the two being snatched away.

Xue Yuan looked down at Jiang You, and when he saw that she was not on her body, he was slightly relieved, but thinking about the scene where the two paws grabbed her just now, he still couldn't stop worrying in his heart, and took her hand and walked out of the hall without saying a word.

Jiang You followed him in fear, looked at him carefully, lowered his head and said, "I was wrong about the palm print." ”

She didn't use me this time, she only used me, which made the fire in Xue Yuan's heart suppress a little, but she still sneered and sneered: "The emperor is the supreme, everything he does is right, how can it be wrong?" ”

Jiang You listened to his tone not kindly, so he had to honestly admit his mistake: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so close to the beast, and I shouldn't have come over by myself." ”

Xue Yuan looked down at her little face and turned pale, and said with a slight sigh of relief: "The emperor must think twice before doing something, if something happens to you, I am afraid that the Great Qi Dynasty will be even more turbulent." ”

He let out a long breath in his heart, and he was still reluctant to say it, it is said that when he is an emperor, he should be calm and cautious, when she is a puppet emperor who is more well-behaved and less troublesome, he didn't think about using a way to detain her, but when it came time to do it, he couldn't help but soften, probably because he was happy with her in his heart, and felt that she was just noisy, and she was cuter than others.

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw Xiaozong's connivance with Jiang You, but he didn't expect him to be the same now. He could only comfort himself that such a big grinning emperor was better than a deep-minded emperor.

Jiang You didn't know what was going on in his heart, he just hung his head with an apologetic face and didn't say anything.

At this time, Cheng Bei greeted him, and when he saw that both of them were unscathed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I just heard that there is a tiger pounceing on people, it really scared the slave to death, but fortunately, the overseer is okay this time." ”

Jiang You was ashamed to lower his head, but when he heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, grabbed the conversation and asked, "This time?" You mean there's still last time? ”

Cheng Bei was stunned, seeing that Xue Yuan's face did not move, he smiled and said: "If you go back to the emperor, it's not, you were almost injured by a big insect when you were a child, thanks to the overseer risking death to save you at that time, the overseer grabbed a large piece of skin and flesh at that time, but fortunately it was raised later." ”

Jiang You turned his head in amazement and said, "Why don't I remember?" ”

Xue Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "It's not a big deal, at that time, Concubine Xiang favored the harem, and she had improper thoughts about the emperor, you were only more than seven years old at the time, and she coaxed you to go to the Imperial Zoo, and quietly opened the cage with the tiger, and the minister was on duty in the Imperial Beastery at that time, and he was rescued easily." After a slight pause, he straightened the group tassel under his chin: "You had a high fever when you went back, and you forgot everything after that."

In fact, he sacrificed his life to save people at that time, not for this child, he was still a small firefighter at that time, anyone could come over and step on it, how could he survive in the palace without fighting? He grasped the opportunity well, won the appreciation of Xiaozong and Empress Zhang, and after the injury was healed, he made steady progress and went all the way to his current position.

It is also for this reason that he is always extraordinarily indulgent to Jiang You, Jiang You's temperament is not suitable for being a puppet, he could have picked another child from the clan, although it takes a little more effort, but it is better to feel at ease. In the end, he chose Jiang You, not because he felt sorry for her, but because he felt that she was sorry for himself for dying so plainly.

Even if he saved her in order to climb up, but he almost lost his life, he had to ask for something back, and now that he owes more and more debts, he is even more reluctant to let her have an accident, otherwise who will pay back the few lives she owes?

Jiang You didn't expect him to think about it so much, listening to his indifferent tone, he just said in a daze: "I seem to remember something like this." Her eyes were moved with tears, and she wiped it with her sleeve: "Since I was only seven years old at the time, and the palm print was only fifteen years old at that time, I was so seriously injured, I, I" She gritted her teeth and swore that "I will definitely honor you well in the future!" ”

Xue Yuan paused, and subconsciously wanted to tease, "Say this to the emperor when he is crying." But after thinking about it, he changed his ambiguous voice again: "The minister doesn't want the emperor's filial piety, do you know why the minister saved you?" He smiled and said, "The minister was fifteen years old at the time, and the twelve prisons had a rule that the fire person could not marry the right person, so there was no one around to take care of him." ”

Jiang You looked at him blankly with teary eyes, he leaned down and got closer, put it in her ear, and said softly: "At that time, the minister thought that you were the little palace maid of which palace, and you looked good, so the minister became a hero to save the beauty, and then begged for food in the future, but I don't know when the emperor decided to make a promise?" ”

Jiang You's lips moved a few times, but he didn't know what to say, so he said with difficulty for a while: "This is different."

She opened her mouth, the sweet and soft glutinous taste came to her face, he was just laughing, but at this time there was really some sparks in his heart, anyway, Chengbei had already retreated with his eyes, without his permission, the people next to him did not dare to come, he lowered his eyes, his eyes were full of soft diamond-shaped lips, and his nose was full of sweet taste, I don't know what it is like to kiss it? Does it have the same sweet scent?

Jiang You watched him get closer and closer, Danyan's thin lips were only a finger away from hers, her heart jumped a few times, thinking of what he said, she took a few steps back in a panic, and exclaimed: "Palm print!" ”

Xue Yuan's body paused, and the person also came to his senses, took a few steps back, and said half-bent over in disguise: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, you should go back." He suppressed the confusion in his eyes, his steps were also chaotic, and he changed the topic at will: "In a few days, the emperor will have to go to the examination room to inspect." ”

Jiang You was confused, nodded indiscriminately, and followed him back.
