A slight distraction, is it surprised by this peculiar name? Yu Yuqing shook her head gently, this shouldn't be the real name of the flowing kite, right?

But yes or no?

She really likes "flowing kites"

This name always has a bit of a free and easy taste every time I think of it.

"Hmm......"

The arm moved slightly, and when he looked sideways, it turned out that Xia Pianpian had woken up.

"Are you awake?"

Xia Pianpian rubbed her eyes and raised her head in confusion: "Where is this?" ”

"We're at the back of the West Garden, let's go!"

Yu Yuqing gently hugged Xia Pianpian's shoulder.

"Ah, Sister Yu, what about that person? All I saw was a dark shadow flashing, and then I didn't know anything. Are you okay? ”

Xia Pianpian jumped up suddenly, anxious.

Yu Yuqing smiled lightly: "I don't have anything, that person ......"

After thinking about it, he decided not to tell the truth for the time being, "It's a daring thief." When you saw him, he was about to leave the palace, but you found out, so he ordered your sleeping hole, and you have been sleeping for an hour. ”

"Ah, a thief? But the palace was so heavily guarded, how could that thief get in? Sister, did he do anything to you? ”

Xia Pianpian grabbed Yu Yuqing's wrist and looked her up and down, her lips trembling a little.

Yu Yuqing couldn't help but be silent: It's rare for someone to care about themselves like this.

I'm embarrassed to think about it.

"Of course not. You don't know, when I was about to escape and call the Ouchi guards, he was a thief and disappeared as soon as he slipped away. Then the guards came, and I asked them to carry you here. Because they can't solve acupuncture points, so you have to wait for yourself to wake up. Otherwise, you will fall asleep like this, and how will we explain when we go back? ”

"Oh, I see!"

Xia Pianpian believed it, so she patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Didn't you catch him?"

Yu Yuqing shook her head: "Since the thief can sneak in without knowing it, how can he be caught so easily?" ”

Xia Pianpian thought for a while: "Then should we tell the queen mother?" ”

Yu Yuqing's heart tightened when she heard this, and she blurted out: "Don't want to." ”

"Why?"

Xia Pianpian frowned.

Yu Yuqing secretly complained.

How can we excuse the kite?

According to the martial arts and character of the flowing kite, he may come to the palace again one day.

If this matter really gets to the queen, the palace will definitely be on guard at that time, wouldn't it be dangerous for the kite to be dangerous?

Her words immediately changed, pretending to be stern and said: "Pianpian, think about it, we go back so late tonight, if we let the queen know that it was because we met a thief that we came back so late, what do you think the queen will think?" ”

Xia Pianpian thought hard, but couldn't think of it.

"How big of a deal do you think this harem is a thief? You're going to be talking about it, right? ”

"yes."

"We have a clear conscience. But not to mention that the girls of the same class as us are going to take advantage of the topic, that is, among these thousands of palace eunuchs, which one will not mumble in private? ”

"Sister, what do you mean?"

Xia Pianpian scratched her head.

"We came back so late and kept saying that we had encountered a thief. People may not say it openly, but secretly they will think that we have suffered a loss. Even if the queen administers justice in the end and returns your innocence, there are so many people in the harem, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no villains chewing the root of the tongue, and maybe there will be rumors that we are having a tryst with an unknown man. If these words reach His Majesty, they may drive us out of the palace immediately! ”

Yu Yuqing sighed deliberately after speaking.

Xia Pianpian has been listening carefully to Yu Yuqing's reasoning, and now she finally came to her senses, and nodded emphatically: "Sister Yu is still thoughtful!" It's okay not to say it, but if you really want to say it, it makes us darker and darker. ”

"Figured it out?"

Yu Yuqing's heart finally fell to the ground.

"Well, I won't say a word, sister, let's go."

Xia Pianpian answered neatly, pulled up Yu Yuqing and quietly walked around to the front yard.

At this time, it was almost noon, but the gate of the West Garden was wide open, and there was no light in the deep and long West Garden, because the girls had already gone to bed, and only the room closest to the gate still had some light.

Looking around, the two crept in, and were about to trot to their residence in one go, when a lukewarm voice came from behind them: "The two pickers came back so early!" ”

The two looked at each other, and they didn't need to look to know who was talking.

"Auntie."

Jinyun walked over from the light-filled room with a gloomy face.

She glanced lightly at the two people in front of her who hung their heads slightly, and frowned, "Do you know what time it is?" ”

The two were silent.

Jin Yun sighed slightly and looked at the sky: "Two picking girls, it's about to be the time of the child." Where have you been? Why did you come back at this time? ”

Yu Yuqing raised her head and whispered: "Pianpian and I went out casually at night, I didn't expect the palace to be so big, we got lost while walking, and we couldn't see anyone asking for directions everywhere, so we groped for a long time before we came back." ”

"Yes, Sister Yu and I are numb in our feet."

Saying that, Xia Pianpian pouted, and pinched her calf.

"Really?"

Although Jin Yun vaguely felt a little puzzled, what else would these two people be besides getting lost in this deep palace?

"Yes, Auntie, we won't mess around next time."

The two said in unison, a little confused.

"The two pickers are not verbose as aunts,"

Jin Yun sighed instead, "After all, you are new to the court, and many things are not clear. There are some places in this palace that you can't break into casually, and that's called a forbidden place. You've all heard about the consequences of trespassing on forbidden places, and if something happens, no one will be able to help you then, understand? ”

Yu Yuqing knew that trespassing on the forbidden land was not a trivial matter, and if she didn't do it, her head would fall to the ground, so she couldn't help but nodded, and said, "Auntie has taught me a lesson, I must remember it." ”

"Well, it's good to understand."

Jin Yun's face finally had a smile.

"Still,"

Jin Yun smackened up again, "This time there is still a small punishment for you, otherwise you won't be able to remember." ”

"Huh?"

Xia Pianpian made a bitter face.

"Let the two of you not go out of the door of this Xiyuan for three days, reflect on it, and see if you dare to run around in the future."

"Three days?!"

Xia Pianpian couldn't help but protest in a low voice.

"Pianpian, listen to my aunt."

Yu Yuqing pushed Xia Pianpian.

"Hmm."

Xia Pian pouted and nodded reluctantly.

"It's still your sister Yu who is sensible,"

Jin Yun was quite emotional, and Yu Yuqing hooked the corners of her mouth embarrassedly.

"It's not too early, let's go back and rest!"

"Yes, Auntie."

The two bowed and hurried back to their room.

Yu Yuqing was lying on the bed, and as soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of the appearance of a flowing kite, and she couldn't sleep.

——The days of the grounding are actually not so sad, but they don't go out of the gate of the West Garden, but the West Garden still has a certain range, and Yu Yuqing embroiders and flutters butterflies in the garden alone or with Xia Pianpian when she is free.

The other girls also knew about their punishment that night, so they didn't go out of the gate of the West Garden consciously or unconsciously, plus Gonggong Cen and Aunt Jinyun and others had to teach everyone all kinds of etiquette rules every day, so this courtyard was always quite lively during the day.

On the last day of the grounding, Xia Pianpian seemed a little excited, because once today passed, she could jump around again.

"Yu Yuqing." Yu Yuqing, who was admiring the flowers with Xia Pianpian and several other little pickers in the garden, heard this sound and looked back, but saw Yu Shunning standing not far away and looking at her lightly. "Big sister." Yu Yuqing hurriedly got up and bowed her head slightly. Yu Shunning walked up to her with an indifferent expression: "I have something to tell you." If there's nothing to do now, just go to my room! “
