Chapter 7: Allies
Su Yingtong rolled and rolled comfortably on the soft bed, stretching his waist to his heart's content, refusing to get up.
It's so comfortable, that's what life is called!
Thinking about the hard bed that she slept on in that unknown courtyard before-no, it can't be called a bed yet, it's just a few simple wooden planks put together-it was really uncomfortable, she was in pain all over, and now it's finally much better, think about the ice scumbag man in the palace mirror domain, it turns out that there is still an advantage, that is, credit.
Since moving into this Selangor Courtyard, her life has really improved a lot, sleeping until she wakes up naturally every day, eating a nutritious package, and even having two more maids in the yard.
This kind of life makes Su Yingtong extremely satisfied, and the only drawback is that it is very boring!!
Waiting to die is generally not the style of a diligent young man in the new era like hers, so these days she has been studying the way out of the house, to go to the outside world to inspect and inspect, and it is more convenient to run away in the future......
"Miss, it's already three poles a day......"
Qingmei urged for the Nth time outside the room, and she didn't dare to go in without the approval of the young lady. Su Yingtong could almost imagine her helpless appearance when she slammed the door curtain.
"Hmm, Qingmei, let me sleep a little longer, I have nothing to do today anyway." Turning over and wanting to sleep with his head covered.
"But Xiao Shizi is here, and he is waiting in the hall."
Well?!
Su Yingtong opened her eyes, what did the little guy come to her for? Didn't you miss her after a few days?
In fact, Su Yingtong is also a little entangled these days, and the obvious palace mirror domain treats Xiao Shizi as a treasure, will he be suspected of plotting against Xiao Shizi when he is so close? Besides, she was also busy looking for a way out of the house, so she didn't look for Xiao Zhao.
Now that I think about it carefully, it's really chilling to be so alienated from Xiao Huo, it's like crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and if you achieve your goal, you don't care about it, and if even she treats the little guy like this, it's really a wordless harm to a child.
Thinking of this, Su Yingtong jumped up with a carp: "Qingmei, change clothes!" ”
Packed up as quickly as possible, when Su Yingtong ran to the hall, he saw the little guy sitting there alone, with his head down and not knowing what he was thinking.
How lonely the little body looks.
"Xiao Zhao, what's the matter?" Su Yingtong's heart tightened, and he pretended to walk to his side easily, "Why didn't you bring anyone around, so you came by yourself?" ”
Gong Zhaoyi raised his head slowly, his small mouth slept tightly, and his eyes were misty, and they were crystal tears.
Su Yingtong was startled and reached out to hug him, "What's wrong?" Whoever bullied you sued my sister, and my sister helped you get angry! ”
Immediately thought of it, who in the palace dared to bully Xiao Shizi? Who else could it be if it wasn't for the Palace Mirror Domain?
That's really ......
Gong Zhaoyi rubbed his eyes and said intermittently: "Su ...... Sister Su, can you ...... next month's banquet Go with you too? ”
Ha? Whatsa Banquet? Why did she go along?
Su Yingtong sat beside him: "Xiao Zhao, what is the matter?" ”
……
Su Yingtong was in the wind and fire all the way to the study of the palace mirror domain under the leadership of the maid, thinking of what Xiao Zhao just said, he was on fire in his belly, he had a mistake in the palace mirror domain!
"Palace Mirror Domain! You come out for me!! ”
Finally came to the periphery of the study, Su Yingtong raised her foot and kicked open the hidden door and wanted to break in, when a black shadow flashed in front of her, and a human wall was in front of her.
Su Yingtong's embarrassing brakes finally didn't hit it, and when he looked closely, he was a black-clothed guard again, and he didn't know him.
"Get out of the way, I want to see your lord."
"No one can go in without the king's orders." The black-clothed guard replied hard.
"Are you sure you won't get out of the way? Sister is not in a very good mood today......" Before the words fell, Su Yingtong hit him in the lower abdomen, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" ”
The black shadow guard naturally tucked his abdomen in a flash, and at the same time, he reached out and grabbed Su Yingtong's wrist.
Su Yingtong's blow missed, but she didn't think that she would be able to knock down the guards beside the palace mirror domain lightly, and she was not in a hurry to retreat, but slammed her shoulders forward and slammed into the opponent's chest, the black-clothed guards snorted and took a few steps back, which was considered a quick reaction, and she turned around to get rid of Su Yingtong's further attack, and then hit Su Yingtong's face with a wave of her fist, and the fist quickly disappeared.
Maybe he hasn't used all his strength yet, but Su Yingtong has already felt the wind in front of him, his grandmother's! You can't slap your face anywhere, and you really don't need to be beaten!
Suddenly, Su Yingtong's small universe completely exploded, and he quickly turned sideways to avoid his punch, grabbed his left edge, reached out to clasp the elbow of his right hand, and pushed his ribs with the other hand, one forced, threw the black-clothed guard to the ground, and raised his leg to make up for his chest before he reacted, compared to her strength, her strength was naturally not enough for the black-clothed guard, but it was better than her attack in the right position, of course, she could get twice the result with half the effort.
This is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, as long as her reaction is a little slower, she may have received the punch of the black-clothed guard, fortunately she has been swimming and working out these days, and her body is much stronger to cope with the past.
At this time, the black-clothed guard only felt a dull pain in his chest, a sweet throat, and seemed to be shaken by his internal organs, he stared at Su Yingtong in disbelief, and he didn't know why he was beaten down.
Su Yingtong ignored him, turned around and broke into the study.
"Palace ......"
"Su Yingrou, is this what you said about not causing trouble again?"
After a pause, Su Yingtong was shocked by the extremely cold voice, looked at the palace mirror area sitting behind the case, and saw him leaning on the back of the chair, and there was something similar to an official document on the desk, it was obvious that he was reviewing the official document just now.
At this time, Gong Jingyu was also looking at her, her face was calm, and there seemed to be a storm condensing in the depths of her dark eyes, which shocked her heart.
Su Yingtong felt very stressed for no reason.
"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the prince!" The black-clad guard appeared behind him, kneeling on one knee and pleading guilty.
"Get out and get punished."
"Yes!"
Su Yingtong froze, she didn't want to bother others, just as she wanted to speak, she didn't see the black-clothed guard. I thought, how can I stop it?
Suppress the guilt in your heart, forget it, nothing is absolute, and you can't manage so much.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yingtong didn't answer and asked, "Why did you reluctantly go to that banquet?" ”
The speech is simple and direct, straight and straightforward, and he does not pay attention to the dignity and inferiority at all.
"He didn't say he didn't want to go."
Gong Jingyu didn't expect that what she asked would be about Xiao Shizi, so he was silent for a long time, and then replied lightly.
"But he didn't say he wanted to go, have you paid attention to his feelings? You've been so obedient that you're afraid of your child, and you think he'll take the initiative to express his thoughts in front of you? Su Yingtong was sullen, "There are also plans among children, Xiao Zhao said, he doesn't want to go, because he is afraid that the little young master of Prince Jian will laugh at him for not having a mother." ”
Su Yingtong stared at the palace mirror domain tightly, since she mentioned Xiao Shizi's mother, she hoped to see something on his face, but - no.
Gong Jingyu didn't even change the rate of breathing, like Su Yingtong mentioned an inconsequential figure.
Su Yingtong didn't know why he felt a sense of relief, maybe he was afraid that he would violate some of his taboos.
Gong Jingyu didn't speak, she didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, she hesitated, and then she said: "I also know that Xiao Shizi will inherit your title in the future, and he will have to get used to these occasions sooner or later, but he has to take his time." Xiao Shizi means that I hope I will go that day. ”
Gong Jingyu was so smart, she believed that he would understand what she meant.
She wants to attend as the mother of Xiao Shizi, which is not in the name of the princess, but just the mother of Xiao Shizi.
When she first came, she promised Xiao Zhao that she would persuade his father to attend that day to support him. And she also believed that Gong Jingyu would agree, after all, this would not hinder him, and it was also what Xiao Shizi wanted.
He...... Hey? How can there be two palace mirror domains?
Dizzy, Su Yingtong's stomach twitched, sour water, shook his head, and then remembered that it was time to have lunch now, but he hadn't even eaten breakfast yet, and he had a fight with the guards just now, and he was a ghost if he didn't faint, it must be low blood sugar.
woke up, Su Yingtong saw that there were pastries on the bookcase, and he didn't care too much, so he walked over and picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth, it tasted good, but it was too delicate and too small, he ate three in a row, and then picked up the teacup and poured a sip of tea, smoothing his chest, and it was finally a lot more comfortable.
Gong Jingyu looked at Su Yingtong, who seemed to be still unsatisfied, his face showed signs of getting darker and darker, and the surrounding temperature turned negative in an instant.
Su Yingtong also noticed it, and was stunned for a while, isn't it just a few pieces of dim sum, as for it?!
When she connected the big nerves and slowly lowered her head, she realized that the teacup just now belonged to the palace mirror domain?
"Boom!"
The brain exploded instantly, Su Yingtong's rare little face blushed, although she is a modern person, but she has only talked about a pure hand-holding love, an absolutely simple and good child, and the indirect kiss at this time - the object is still the palace mirror domain, no, she is a little unbearable.
"Ahem, that, I didn't mean to," he polluted his teacup, and he had to apologize, and now he didn't dare to stay here anymore if he killed her, Su Yingtong smiled: "Hehe...... Then it's decided, it's time to eat, I won't bother the prince, you are busy, you are busy. ”
While saying and retreating, for the first time in his life, he used honorifics for him, and when the last word landed, Su Yingtong turned around and snatched the door out, and ran through a few corridors in one breath out of the gate before he dared to stop and gasp, Mamma Mia, it is too testing people's hearts, this guy in the palace mirror domain is definitely a dangerous person, so stay away.
At this time, Gong Jingyu looked at the fragmented cake crumbs on the table, remembering Su Yingtong's gobbling just now, his eyes rose and fell several times, and he continued to deal with the official documents with his eyes down, and he couldn't see anything unusual in his expression.
When Su Yingtong returned to Xuelan Courtyard, he saw that Xiao Shizi was still sitting in the hall waiting for her, very well-behaved, so he couldn't help but smile and raised his voice: "Xiao Zhao, it's done!" ”
Gong Zhaoyi's eyes lit up, and he jumped to the ground: "Father agreed?" ”
"Of course!" Su Yingtong raised his head, "Who am I?" How can you be the boss of your little world without two brushes? He nodded his little nose again, "Okay, let's stay at my sister's place to eat today, I'll make you something to eat!" ”
After speaking, he casually sent a maid back to Yu'an Courtyard to report, and went into the kitchen.
Xiao Shizi followed curiously, very curious about the baby: "What is delicious?" ”
The maid was not surprised when she saw Su Yingtong come in, after all, Su Yingtong always likes to make some novel dishes by herself these days, and she gets used to it when she sees more, although at first it was hard for them to believe that the eldest lady of the Su family would come to a place like the kitchen, and the dishes she made tasted really good, but now that Xiao Shizi actually came in, she was a little anxious.
"Little Shizi ......"
"It's okay, just let him stay."
As soon as Su Yingtong stopped it, the maid couldn't say anything, Gong Zhaoyi couldn't help but feel a little proud, he had never been to the kitchen before, so he naturally wanted to take a look at it, at first I thought that Su Yingtong would make a fuss like those subordinates and ask him to go out, but I didn't expect him to stay and play.
It seems that since I recognized the "boss", it is really a lot more fun!
Gong Zhaoyi deeply realized this truth.
"Sister Su, what are you doing?
"Well, do it...... How about hamburgers? I can add a little more ingredients and balance the nutrients. ”
"Hamburgers? What is it? Gong Zhaoyi's eyes widened, his appearance was so cute, if Su Yingtong wasn't full of flour, he really wanted to pinch his tender little face.
"Well, the hamburger is delicious, it's a secret now, and you'll know when it's made."
"Okay." Gong Zhaoyi had to give up, watching Su Yingtong busy with it interestingly, and helping her get some materials from time to time, it was very fun.
After a lot of busyness, the hamburger is finally finished!
In fact, it is a simple two slices of bread with a lot of ingredients, but fortunately, Su Yingtong is skillful, the hamburger looks good, the meat and vegetables are bright in color, which can arouse people's appetite, and the chicken nuggets in the middle She has put a lot of effort into it, the umami is juicy, and carrot sauce is added, a little meat, and the nutritional value is not low!
"Alright, it's ready to eat."
Sitting on the table, Su Yingtong looked at Xiao Zhao's greedy appearance with amusement.
Gong Zhaoyi picked up the hamburger with both hands excitedly, this food was so novel that he didn't know how to eat it.
"That's it," Su Yingtong also picked one up, opened her mouth and took a bite, along with the bread and chicken nuggets, she immediately looked intoxicated, very good, her cooking skills have improved again!
Gong Zhaoyi also did the same, took a bite carefully, and suddenly his starry eyes shone brightly, and he even said that it was delicious.
"Hahaha, Xiao Zhao has become a little cat," Su Yingtong looked at Gong Zhaoyi's funny little face and laughed, and reached out to help him wipe the sauce on his face, "Eat slowly, come, drink some soup too, don't choke." ”
"I'm not a little cat." Gong Zhaoyi blushed awkwardly and accused Su Yingtong of always "taking advantage of him".
"Hehe," Su Yingtong retracted his paws, "Okay, Xiao Zhao is not a little flower cat, it's a big flower cat, haha!" ”
"You are!"
"Well, so do I."
"It's just you!"
……
One big and one small are fighting and eating, and occasionally there is a crisp laugh, and the picture is very harmonious.
And what no one noticed was that a black figure on the outer wall of the courtyard stared at the room for a long time, and then the figure flashed and disappeared silently.
Just finished eating, Ning Er, one of the newly sent maids, came in to report that Ye Jiaoxi had come to pick up Xiao Shizi and returned to the courtyard to practice martial arts.
"Ye Jiaoxi? Xiao Zhao, who is he? ”
"It's the teacher who taught me martial arts." Gong Zhaoyi obediently asked Su Yingtong to help him wipe his hands and said.
Oh, is that the cold noodle coach I've seen in Yu'an Academy?
"Let him in." Su Yingtong motioned for Qingzhu to clean up the tabletop, and then said to Ning'er.
"Xiao Zhao, that Ye Sect Leader is very fierce, what does he do to you?" It's cool for her, she's definitely not teaching bad boys.
Gong Zhaoyi thought about it seriously and shook his head: "Ye Jiaoxi is very strict, but not fierce. ”
That's not daring to be fierce to you, right? Su Yingtong meditated.
At this time, Ye Jiaoxi had already strode in, and his high body stood in front of the hall with a bow, and he didn't speak, which was regarded as a salute.
Su Yingtong naturally didn't care about this, and saw that the coach seemed to have something to say, so he said: "Ye Jiaoxi might as well say it directly." ”
That Ye Jiaoxi considered it, but he was a brutal martial arts practitioner, and he really didn't know how to be tactful, so he had to say directly: "The prince asked me to tell Miss Su, on the day of the full moon banquet of the little young master of the prince...... Pay attention to the decency of the palace. ”!!!
Su Yingtong twitched the corner of his mouth, it's really - direct!
It's better to tell her directly not to embarrass the palace?!! What is unbearable!
Besides, Xiao Zhao is still here, isn't it dismantling her platform?
Su Yingtong couldn't help it anymore, turned around and went back to the room, with a big stroke of the pen, hum, as long as you have cultivation and connotation, you have face, don't you? Sister will use the connotation to smash you to death!!
You tattered mirror!!
Su Yingtong was angry in his heart, his writing was sloppy, his gestures were arrogant, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and he had Wang Xizhi's posture.
"Smack!"
When Su Yingtong returned to the hall, he slapped a piece of rice paper, Ye Jiaoxi couldn't figure out the situation, so he was covered with the paper, and Su Yingtong's voice of gritting teeth sounded in his ears, "Take it back to your prince, let him take a closer look at it clearly, and ask me if he doesn't understand!" ”
Ye Jiaoxi touched the ash of his nose, thinking that women are really terrible, and hurriedly picked up Xiao Shizi is an arrow step, and he disappeared.
Su Yingtong is still angry, Gong Jingyu, the old lady is not finished with you!!
When Ye Jiaoxi went to visit the Palace Mirror Domain, it was already evening.
"What's the matter?"
Gong Jingyu rubbed his eyebrows, there was a rare trace of irritability, and he didn't know why his attention was so inattentive today.
"The prince's words have been conveyed to Miss Su, and in addition, this is from Miss Su to the prince."
Ye Jiaoxi presented the paper with both hands, and Gong Jingyu took it and swept it casually, he couldn't help but concentrate on it, pondering carefully, his thin lips slowly curved slightly, and his dark eyes were also dyed with a little smile.
Ye Jiaoxi was not lightly frightened, they were the prince...... Is this laughing?
I couldn't help but glance at the piece of paper a few times, just a few lines of words, nothing special!
"It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance."
The font is light and heavy, flying and smart, continuous and circulating, as if you can think of the person who writes the pen when full of resentment, the pen is like flowing water, a wave of the hand. A bit of a demonstrative.
There is another sentence here, and the two sentences have no obvious connection, as if they were added later.
"The Ambition of the Bird?!!!"
Even though there are a few strange symbols in the back, the palace mirror domain can still be roughly understood. Looking at the thick disdain demonstration between the words, Gong Jingyu didn't laugh angrily, and his heart that had been like water couldn't help but have a trace of waves, Su Yingrou, it seems to be a little interesting.
"What else did she say?"
"Uh......" Ye Jiaoxi thought about it again, and found that he still didn't know how to express it euphemistically, and couldn't help but feel sad, why was it always him who was hurt?
Miss Su said...... Tell the prince to take a closer look at it, and ask her if you don't understand. ”
The smile in the black eyes is even stronger, Su Yingrou, I don't know what trick you want to play, but don't admit defeat so quickly. lest this king be disappointed.
This verse, it's really well written, a woman, or a woman like Su Yingrou, has the ambition and courage to look down on a qiē, the structure is neat, the meaning is profound, and the literary brilliance can be seen, and then look at people from the words, Gong Jingyu can't help but wonder, Su Yingrou, are you too good at disguise, or I haven't seen it through?
It's a pity that no matter what, since you represent Prime Minister Su, the result is only - death.
And it's in my hands.
With a wave of his hand, he motioned for Ye Jiaoxi to step back, and then pressed the paper to the bottom of the rice paper without turning it again.
The night, it seems, is still calm.
