Chapter 22: Saving People

Hearing Zhao Hao's noisy noise, Concubine Shu hurriedly lowered her head and whispered to coax. Zhao Hao didn't listen to her either, broke free from Concubine Shu's arms, ran to Zhao Jing's side in three steps and two steps, pulled his sleeves and shouted: "Father, they twist around and don't know what they're dancing, Erchen is very boring, I want to watch puppet shows." ”

Zhao Jing was still very fond of this only son, stroked his head and asked, "The emperor doesn't like to see this?" But there is no puppet show today, so why don't you sit next to the queen mother and play with your royal sister? ”

and An Diji's maiden name is Yongfu, although she is only two years older than Zhao Hao, she is very well-behaved and sensible, and picked up a golden loquat and beckoned to Zhao Hao: "Changtai, come, come to Sister A, Sister will eat loquat with you." ”

Zhao Hao pouted and rubbed to Yongfu's side, Yongfu peeled a loquat with him and ate his hands full of juice, and suddenly rejoiced again, lying in the ear of Emperor Yongfu and quietly didn't know what he was saying.

Yan Qiaoyue was left in the hall standing in a daze, not knowing what to do, and her eyes were red and she was about to cry. The queen looked at her and said lightly: "The emperor said that you don't dance beautifully, what is there to be wronged?" Step aside. ”

Yan Qiaoyue lowered her head and returned to the seat with a flushed face, and sat down, and there was a gentle laughter on the side, becoming more and more sad. didn't dare to cry, so he had to cover his face with a handkerchief and sobbed quietly, but Gu Hanyi silently retreated into the seat without saying a word.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was a little sluggish, Concubine Xian got up and said to the queen in a respectful voice: "The banquet has been held for some time, and the queen mother, the eldest princess and several concubines are in the Crane Year Palace, but they are afraid that they will come out soon. ”

The queen looked at the copper leak in the palace and nodded: "Well, the queen mother is coming soon, so you will go to greet a few old people, and the eldest princess also has two children by her side, so she is also a good helper." Concubine Xian respectfully received the order, took the palace order with her, and walked out of the palace through the back door on the left.

Zhao Jing instructed the musician to play the music again, changed a set of songs and dances, and the palace people removed the leftover dishes and replaced them with new dishes and hot wine, and the palace was noisy and lively again.

Zangjiao's body is not complete, and the hall is a little stuffy and noisy, and after sitting for a long time, I feel that my heart is stuffy and a little hot, and my head hurts. Holding his forehead, he said to Mo Lanyi: "I'm a little bored, go out for a walk quietly, and come back in a moment." ”

Mo Lanyi was watching the woman in the hall dance the Eighteen-Heavenly Demon Dance with great interest, and responded casually when she heard the words: "Sister, go out from the back door, it's okay to disperse, don't go far." ”

Zang Jiao agreed to get up and quietly walked out of the hall from the back door on the right, away from the hustle and bustle, only to feel that the shadows of the trees around were very quiet, and he looked up and saw that he was walking not far ahead, and it was vaguely the Han Jade Pavilion by the Taiye Lake.

Zangjiao thought about going to the stone pavilion by the lake to sit and go back when she was better. He stroked his chest and walked forward along the path, and the closer he got to Taiye Lake, a breeze blew in his face, with a refreshing water vapor and the fragrance of flowers, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking slowly all the way, I was almost near the stone pavilion. But I saw two black shadows squatting on the stone slab next to the pavilion in a faint trance. Zangjiao was only afraid that she was dazzled, so she stepped forward quickly and hurriedly walked a few steps forward to get closer and rubbed her eyes to take a closer look.

But it's really two little figures. One squatted on the slab and leaned over, while the other leaned on the head of the slab and stretched out his hand into the water, half of his body almost leaning out of the slab.

Zangjiao jumped up like a drum in her heart, and she was afraid that it would not be good for the sound to startle the two of them. He stood still, took a slight breath, stabilized his mind, and walked forward lightly.

Without waiting for Zangjiao to walk to the lake, the squatting figure seemed to be startled by something and jumped up, the shadow leaning forward shook and leaned forward and planted obliquely under the stone slab, splashing with a splash......

Zangjiao exclaimed, and didn't care about the slippery road by the lake, so she lifted her skirt and rushed to the stone slab. The one standing on the stone slab was already crying loudly for his sister, and it turned out to be the voice of Prince Changtai. The person who fell into the water was naturally the queen's concubine, the imperial daughter Yongfu.

Zangjiao stumbled and ran to the stone slab with three feet and two steps, pulled Chang Tai behind him, and leaned over on the stone slab to find Yongfu's figure.

The Yilan Hall was very lively at this time, and Concubine Xian served the Queen Mother and several concubines and princesses into the inner hall to sit. The emperor and queen led the people in the harem to greet each other.

Ning An's back was ruddy, her head was tied in a family-style bun, and she only wore an immortal holding longevity red gold distraction on the front. Wearing a smoky gray gold thread Nafu fragrant cloth with large sleeves and wide clothes, and holding an agarwood cane, he sat cross-legged on the couch with a smile and waved to everyone.

"Okay, okay, don't be restrained, the official family and the queen can sit. The mourning family was old and quiet, so they went back after seeing it. He looked around again, "Why don't you see my good grandson Changtai?" Could it be that the emperor's wife was not happy when she came, and she didn't come up to get close. ”

Concubine Shu replied with a smile: "The Queen Mother is here, how can Tai'er not be happy, huh?" Where did Tyre go? Yilan, he must have hid in some corner to be naughty again, and he didn't find it to say goodbye to the imperial wife. ”

Yilan, who was standing next to her, was stunned: "Niangniang, the eldest prince and He An Diji were eating fruit and laughing together, but they didn't come over." ”

The queen had been a little sleepy and half-squinted her eyes to recuperate, and looked around at this time. Mo said that the prince of Changtai, even with An Diji, disappeared, and asked the palace people who were waiting around him: "When did Yongfu and Changtai slip away to play?" ”

Several palace people replied: "When the eighteen-day demon dance was performed, there were many people in chaos, the emperor and the eldest prince ran down to play, and the slaves were still in the right corner of the hall first, thinking that it was okay." At this point... At this time, I don't know where to go. ”

"A bunch of useless things! Even the prince and the emperor can't take care of it, what's the use of keeping you! The Queen Mother's face was pale, her cheeks trembled, and she shouted, "Someone! Drag them all out with me, and they will be killed immediately! ”

The palace people cried and shouted in the hall, and all the women stood up in fright, bowing their heads and shaking their clothes, and Zhao Jing shouted angrily and asked people to look around inside and outside. Fang Wanyi raised her eyebrows, a touch of fierceness flashed in her eyes, pushed everyone away and hurried to the apse.

Zangjiao by the Taiye Lake was covered with sweat, lying on the stone slab, stretching out her arms and trying her best to pull the little hand of He Antiji, who was struggling in the water not far away. Who knew that although she was young, she struggled and writhed indiscriminately after falling into the water, Zangjiao only felt that she was dragging a thousand catties in her hands, and pulled her closer with all her strength.

The medicinal properties on Zangjiao's body were not exhausted, and they were slumped in the hot chest in the temple. Not only did he not drag him to Andiji, but he was so tired that he gradually slipped into the water. Desperately grabbed the emperor's little hand, turned around and gasped and shouted to Chang Tai: "Great prince, go to the palace to find someone." ”

Chang Tai was so frightened that he stood aside in a daze, and when he heard Zang Jiao's call, he was stunned for a moment before he cried and ran to the apse road, and Zang Jiao himself shouted for help, while trying his best to stick to the stone slab to prevent his body from slipping.

Gradually, I felt a cracking pain in my chest, darkness in front of my eyes, and my arms were almost numb with soreness. The body became heavier and heavier as if it had pressed a big stone, and it could no longer exert any strength, so it involuntarily slowly slipped into the water......
