12. Chapter 12
At the time of the dinner, the officials of Jingzhou City gathered in the Water King's Mansion. The waterboat doesn't like this kind of scene, but he can't shirk the identity of his little prince.
Ku'er took out a purple robe for him, which was his favorite robe, and he also sewed it himself: "Don't lose your young master's temper tonight, make it difficult for the master." She never stopped, for fear that he would offend people at the dinner.
The water boat looked at the girl who had been talking non-stop since she came back, knowing that she didn't like this situation either, so she didn't let her go: "I said that your maid is about to become my master, what should I do, do I still need you to teach my son?" ”
Ku'er took the belt and helped him tie it, and didn't forget to look at him: "I'm just saying, who said it was your master." She lowered her face, hiding the hatred in her eyes.
The water boat pinched her face funny: "I'll go first, and you can go to bed early when it's late." ”
Ku'er sent her out with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she changed her face in the next second. Zheng Xi, she chewed on the name with hatred. He returned to the bed and drew out the long sword that Master had left for him, the sword glowing in the moonlight.
On Shen Tianlong's left sat Concubine Jin and Princess Changming, and on his right sat his aunt, Mrs. Shui. After seeing the waterboat, he beckoned the waterboat to pass, and when he saw that he didn't see Ku'er around him, he was a little disappointed: "Zhou'er, why don't you see Ku'er?" ”
The waterboat sat comfortably next to her grandmother: "Uncle Huang, Ku'er just caught a cold in the back mountain, so I let her stay in the waterboat to rest." ”
Shen Tianlong asked with some worry: "How can I catch a cold, otherwise I will let the imperial doctor go over and take a look." ”
The emperor's concern for Ku'er made the water boat suspicious, but thinking that the emperor had never accepted a concubine over the years, it shouldn't be that he was interested in Ku'er. He looked at the emperor and refused with a smile: "Uncle Huang is serious, there is nothing wrong with the bitterness, Uncle Lao is interested." ”
Concubine Jin and Shen Ruosu's faces were a little ugly. Shen Ruosu lowered his eyebrows after seeing the waterboat and listened to their conversation. Some people have a grudge against this bitter child who didn't appear, when did his father care so much about him. What kind of person is this bitter child, his cousin and father are so favored.
Even though Concubine Jin was unhappy in her heart, her face was still a decent smile, and she took Princess Zhao Wanxin's hand and looked at her sisterly affection, "Xin'er, I don't know if my aunt has already accepted a concubine, which girl is so good." ”
Zhao Wanxin kept a smile, even though she hated her own sister, she still smiled elegantly: "Let the emperor and sister laugh, this bitter child is not the concubine of the boat, but the maid of the boat." ”
Shen Ruosu's face softened slightly, what was a maid afraid of, and the darkness in her eyes was gradually replaced by ambition. There is nothing in this world that she can't get, and anyone who earns it with her will get the same fate as Shen Bixia.
The waterboat narrowed its eyes and hid its displeasure with the concubine. didn't open his mouth to discern anything for Ku'er, who is his own maid, everyone knows it, what do you want to discern?
Concubine Jin's face was completely better, and she pushed the daughter beside her: "Su'er, haven't you always remembered your cousin in the palace?" Let's go sit with my cousin. ”
Shen Ruosu was even more overjoyed when she heard her mother's words, she didn't know what reason she was looking for to sit next to her cousin. She looked at her shyly and timidly, "Cousin." He spoke softly, and the voice was so weak that people had to take pity on it.
There was no expression on the water boat, after all, it was his cousin, and he still cherished it.
On the tree not far away, Ku'er clenched the sword in his hand and looked at the place where the song and dance were leveling. She looked at Shen Ruosu snuggling up to the waterboat, and actually felt very sour in her heart, but at this time, her eyes were more on Zheng Xi's body, she wanted him to die!
The waterboat's ears moved slightly, and he felt the sword light, and he waited silently for someone to be so bold to assassinate.
Zheng Xi's hand holding the wine glass began to tighten, and he also sensed the presence of the assassin. One hand naturally put it on his waist and touched the long sword, instantly pulled it out, and jumped up from the table to meet the attack of the long sword: "Protect the holy car." ”
"Cousin." Shen Ruosu hid in the arms of the water boat with fear on his face.
Ku'er was suddenly distracted in the fight with Zheng Xi, and Zheng Xi took the lead and stabbed his arm. She suddenly came back to her senses, not paying attention to the water boat and Shen Ruosu's every move, the person she was going to kill now was Zheng Xi.
The water boat knew who the person was at the glance when he looked at Ku'er, and there were complicated emotions in his eyes, it was Ku'er, it was his bitter child. Picked up the long flute on the table and leaned over, opened the long sword that Zheng Xi used to attack Ku'er, and used the long flute to knock down the sword in Ku'er's hand: "Hurry up." He whispered, anger palpable in his eyes.
Ku'er has stubbornness in the corners of her eyes, but she also knows that she is the young master who is not leaving. She glanced at Zheng Xi with hatred in her eyes before turning to leave.
"Chase." The leader of the Praetorian Guard gave the order.
"Stand still." Zheng Xi stroked the stabbed arm, he already knew who that person was, he could see it in her eyes. "Don't chase after the poor."
The princess got down from above, picked up the sword and looked at it, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Zhou'er, this sword seems to have been seen by the concubine somewhere." "This is Ku'er's sword, she won't admit it.
The waterboat took the sword, and if he could knock it out, it would not be used as evidence to prove Ku'er: "What do you mean by what the concubine said, is it someone who thinks that the assassin is a son?" ”
Shui Zhuwen said unhappily: "Zhou'er, how can you talk to your mother?" "Since when has the son stopped pretending to be dissatisfied with his mother even in front of himself?
Yunshang naturally knew who this sword was, her hatred for Ku'er was the deepest, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been locked up in the firewood room for a day and a night, and she also left the root of the disease: "Princess, this sword seems to be Ku'er's." ”
The waterboat glanced at her coldly, and turned to face the emperor: "Uncle Huang, it seems that today's assassination was committed by the concubine, and in order to prove Ku'er's innocence, the nephew asked the imperial uncle to accompany the nephew back to the waterboat." "I hope that girl has rushed back.
Chunhua Qiuju looked at the people who came to the waterboat house and immediately knelt down to say goodbye.
"Spring flowers and autumn chrysanthemums, bitter children can be." Yunshang looked coldly at the maid kneeling on the ground.
The waterboat looked at her colder than her: "This is my waterboat, when will it be your turn to speak." ”
Chunhua Qiuju knelt quietly, they knew that the young master would be angry for them, didn't this kind of woman just rely on the princess's favor? Qiu Ju said slowly: "Ku'er has contracted the wind cold today, and he has not been in the room for a long time. ”
Shen Tianlong let the two of them get up and go inside, he was really worried about that quirky girl.
The waterboat stood at the door, and when he pushed the door, he tried his best to endure it, Ku'er, you must be inside. "Bitter." Before he could push it, it opened.
