Chapter 14: The First Journey into the Palace (1)
When he arrived at the palace gate of the Heaven and Earth Family, Zero Tears immediately shook off his hand unhappily, pouted and said, "Why are you in a hurry, I still have to ......"
"What more?" Hongli's gloomy face approached closely, and under his long eyelashes, there was a little annoyance in his black eyes, "I know what the hell you're doing, I warn you, stay away from my mother in the future, let me know that you will pestering her with a dead face, and see how I clean you up." ”
"Oh~~" She blinked, her eyes met his aggressive handsome eyes, and she was surprised to find that he had ...... Mother-lover!
"Did you hear that?" He smacked her forehead with his hand, he had never seen such a worry-free woman when he was so big.
"I hear it," she shrugged her shoulders with a look of disgust, "I don't care, but if your mother rushes to pester me, it's none of my business." ”
He rolled in his throat, he really wanted to scold her for "not being ashamed", and he didn't know what spell she had cast, coaxing his mother to be angry, and he would love her like a baby, and he was sure that this stinky girl was definitely not a good type, and she had to be more careful in the future.
"Let's go, I'll take you to your residence", he turned around slowly, flicked the placket of his robe, and when he raised his eyes again, he didn't see the fierce look just now, his hands were folded behind his back, with a chic smile on his face, he took out the bearing and elegance of a handsome boy, and walked forward.
O Master! She almost wanted to applaud him, but her face changed so quickly that she bowed to it. When she got out of the palace gate, she understood that the reason why he judged the two of them so much was that a large number of palace maids fell down under his handsome face along the way, and the was so eager to pounce on him immediately. She nodded slightly, this person's idol burden was heavy enough, and he was not afraid of crushing him.
Along the corridor down, turn a corner, you can see a green bamboo forest not far away, green and covered the sky, a winding path folds and stacks, leading to a small building in all directions behind the forest. The two of them walked through the bamboo forest to the gate of the courtyard, and Su Peisheng had already led a handful of servants to wait.
"Packed up?" Hongli picked up a bamboo leaf and played with it in his hand.
Su Peisheng said with a smile, "Back to the fourth elder brother, the emperor has already ordered it, how dare the people of the Internal Affairs Office slack off, clean it up, and ensure that the girl with zero tears can live comfortably." ”
Early? Hongli's hand couldn't help but pause, and he turned his head to look at Zero Tears, could it be that Huang Ama had already planned to let her live in the garden? After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, "What does Miss Zero Tears think of this?" ”
She didn't bother to look at his hypothetical smile, and yawned, "Just stop." ”
His face froze, as if she had been wronged. Barely resisting the urge to walk away, he continued to squeeze out a smile, "This place is called 'Bamboo Courtyard', and it is very close to my 'Lotus Pavilion', if you need anything, you can send someone to find me at any time." ”
She nodded tiredly, and the sleepy insect was about to move, and while walking in with sleepy eyes, she asked casually, "Which room do I live in?" ”
Hongli sighed lightly, stood with his hands in his hands, and had no intention of following up, "I want the minions to take you in to see, I still have something to do, go first", and didn't wait for her to reply, turned around and left. Accompanying such a master is more tiring than reading for a day, and he has to go back early, make a pot of fragrant tea, lie on the couch, and rest his mind.
Su Peisheng deeply felt his hardship, and watched him leave with sympathy, "Where is my bed?" There was a voice of impatience behind him, and he hurriedly followed, introduced her to the situation in the bamboo courtyard one by one, and introduced her to the servants assigned to her by the Internal Affairs Office.
Zero Tears was a little surprised, she actually sent two palace maids and two eunuchs for her to send her, did she want to make her parasite thorough? "I have hands and feet, I don't need them to serve", she decided that it was better to support herself, so as not to go back to become a "waste" in the future.
Su Peisheng was embarrassed, "This is not good, they are all people personally selected by the emperor, if the girl doesn't want it, wouldn't she complain that the emperor picked the wrong person?" ”
This big hat was so buttoned that she almost didn't stand firm, and it was not a shame that she was a person who had been in the palace for many years, and she spoke to the point. She looked at him admiringly, "Okay, but it doesn't need so many people. The palace maid stays, and the eunuch forgets it, I'm not used to it. ”
Su Peisheng secretly smiled bitterly, the courtesies were still exchanged, she was not polite, waved her hand, asked the two eunuchs to step back first, and said, "The emperor said that the girl is also tired today, and she will have dinner with the girl tomorrow." ”
"Hmm", she yawned again, her eyelids fighting.
"Girl, rest, I'll retire", Su Peisheng glanced at the two palace maids, then turned around and left.
Zero tears raised his feet and went straight to the west inner room, kicked his shoes at will, and lay on the bed and fell asleep. The two palace maids looked at each other, didn't dare to say anything, and picked up her shoes, put them neatly on the pedals, and waited quietly by the bedside.
It's been a long time since I've slept so sweetly, and the Manchu and Han banquets she has been thinking about have finally come true in her dreams. She sat at a long dining table full of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, eating and eating, and just sighed, "Today's appetite is really surprisingly good...... But she didn't think that a sharp arrow pierced her chest, and before she could see it, she woke up from her dream with a scream.
"Girl, are you okay?", the two palace maids, one was busy wiping her sweat, the other was busy stroking her chest, she came back to her senses for a long time, and looked at the two of them blankly, "You are ......"
"The girl forgot, the slave and the maid cut the spring."
"Slaves and maids are flower notes."
Zero tears patted her chest, but she didn't have to have nightmares, she had two "swords" by her side for a long time. She put on her shoes and went to the ground, picked up the tea bowl that Jian Chun had brought over, and took a sip of it, suppressing her shock. She has had many nightmares when she grew up, but every time she woke up, she would forget them completely, but this time she remembered them vividly. What a bad omen! She raised her eyebrows and looked thoughtfully at the moonlight outside the window.
Jian Chun and Hua Jian glanced at each other, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is the girl thinking?" ”
"I'm thinking, it's been a dark and windy night for a long time, it can't be that there will be any bloody disaster," she said absentmindedly.
"Ah", the two palace maids were shocked when they heard it.
She suddenly squinted and laughed again, "You might as well go and kill a chicken to suit the situation, it just so happens that I am also hungry, you can get a small roast chicken with sesame oil to eat." ”
Killing chickens? In the middle of the night? The two palace maids were trembling when they thought of this scene, is the taste of this new master too ...... It's a little too heavy.
A fire was lit in the yard, the firewood was taken locally, the fragrance of bamboo leaves fluttered and scattered with the firelight, and the gluttony couldn't help swallowing saliva, and a layer of crispy sesame oil was smeared on the back of the half-cooked chicken with a brush. The aroma of meat is so mouth-watering that Jian Chun and Hua Jian couldn't help but squat around the fire, grinning, "Girl, this roast chicken looks delicious." ”
"Of course", Zero Tears held her head high proudly, thinking that when she was a killer, most of the tasks assigned to her were to carry out ambushes in the wilderness, if she didn't practice the craft of making game, life would be no fun, and she couldn't help but say triumphantly, "When it's ripe, let you all taste it, if I don't blow it, the chefs in the palace can't make such a great taste." ”
The two palace maids are also fifteen or sixteen years old, and when they heard her say this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they nodded with a smile and thanked them.
"The fire is not strong enough, which of you will go and bring some leaves."
"I'll go", Hua Jian excitedly trotted all the way to the bamboo forest outside the courtyard, and came back with a full of bamboo leaves.
Zero tears grabbed a handful and threw it into the fire, the fire burned again, she hummed a little song beautifully, waiting for the roast chicken to come out of the oven, seeing that it was almost ripe, she finally grabbed a handful of leaves into it, but this time the fire suddenly rushed up, she didn't have time to dodge, and suddenly burned the bangs on her forehead.
Seeing this, the palace maid hurried to save it, and finally extinguished the fire, but saw that the bangs with zero tears were half burned, and her face was dyed with a thick layer of gray black, and she couldn't see her face at all.
She sat for a while, breathing a few sighs of relief in shock. There was obviously no wind in the yard just now, and the fire would never burn by itself, her eyes rolled a few times, this is too impatient, she has only lived in the first day, and some people already think she is an eyesore. She opened her dark eyes and caught the horror flashing in the eyes of the two little palace maids, although she had doubts in her heart, she said calmly, "It's okay, it's okay, you go and fetch me a basin of water, and I'll wash my face." ”
"Yes, yes", the two of them hurriedly ran away.
When they were far away, she got up without tears and rummaged through the pile of unburned bamboo leaves, and sure enough, she found something unusual, she picked up a slippery leaf and sniffed it in front of her nose, and blurted out in surprise, "kerosene". Suddenly, I remembered that day, in the hunting ground, Hongli was also trapped in the fire, and she also found a puddle of oil stains around at that time, could it be the same person? It is reasonable to harm the future emperor, but she is not in anyone's way.
After washing her face in a hurry, Jian Chun was recombing her hair, and her bangs could still be hidden when she was rolled up, but the burnt broken hair on her sideburns was troublesome, "How is this good?" Tomorrow, the girl will go to see the emperor", Jian Chun was so anxious that her forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat.
Zero Tears fiddled with the gadgets in the makeup box with great interest, and was amazed that the ancients had so many magic weapons to comb their hair.
At this time, the flower note led Hongli in, and Hongli ridiculed her head, "You are too nonsense, you are still playing with fire in the middle of the night, fortunately you burned your hair, if you burn your face, what can you do?" ”
Zero Tears frowned, looked at him in the mirror, and pouted unhappily, "You also said that it was late at night, running into the girl's bedroom so late, my name was damaged, and it was not good for your fourth brother to be treated as a flower thief." ”
"You", Hongli was so angry with him that he was speechless for a while, he had slept well, but he was disturbed by his dreams, he had nowhere to reason, he didn't have a good airway, "Okay, I'll come back next time you burn to ashes, and no one will make irresponsible remarks now." ”
How dare you curse her! She immediately kicked him, although he didn't kick him out of the house, but it also made him almost fall to the ground, "Get out, don't provoke my aunt and me", if she hadn't met him in the hunting ground, why would she have run here to be calculated, she was even more angry when she thought of this.
"Chen Lingxi, you are crazy-" He roared angrily, being yelled at by a woman, and being punched and kicked was definitely the biggest shame in his life.
Afraid that the two would really fight, Jian Chun hurriedly came out to block the middle, "It's the slave and the maid who are wrong, let the flower note go to the fourth elder brother without authorization, and the girl will blame the slave and the maid." ”
It's her to blame, nosy! Zero tears even began to wonder if this Jianchun was the one who wanted to hurt her. But after thinking about it, she called Hongli over, just to convey a signal to the people outside, this bamboo courtyard is not only close to the Lotus Pavilion, once there is a disturbance, he will also rush over as soon as possible, that is, to tell everyone that this is the fourth elder brother, and others don't want to mess around.
Zero tears looked at her slightly, too, she and the flower note were both selected by the emperor personally, and it was impossible to harm herself, waving her hand and saying, "Forget it, you are also kind", turned his head to look at Hongli, the night was as cold as water, and people crawled out of the bed to see her, which was also considered benevolent and righteous, she flicked her burnt sideburns a few times, and said with a smile, "I was almost disfigured just now, and it is inevitable that I am in a bad mood, the fourth elder brother does not remember the villain, don't be angry." ”
If it weren't for the emperor's instructions, he would have fought back a long time ago, with his extremely noble status, he still had to swallow his anger at a little girl, it was a great humiliation, he made up his mind in his heart, when the emperor Ama was bored with her, he would have to torture her to death.
Zero Tears raised her eyes slightly, and met the evil gaze in his eyes, which became a little evil, and knew that he was not good at stubble, and it seemed that she had to find another big tree to cool off.
