Chapter 10 Sun Jieyu's Value
The outer palace road of the Hanxiang Pavilion is wide, and few people come and go. Taking advantage of the good wind, Gu Yunxi and King Chen flew kites here.
If you don't accept it, you can't.
Leng Qingtang's kite was really good, it was dragged by a rope, and it flew into the air easily.
King Chen clapped his hands happily when he saw it, like a child.
Gu Yunxi handed him the spool and said secretly:
Your Highness, I'm sorry to disappoint you later.
Before King Chen could put the kite too high, Gu Yunxi's lowered right arm quietly moved, and his two fingers lightly gave birth to an internal force, and he hit the blue sky like a sharp blade.
In an instant, the kite string was cut.
The kite swayed and fell into the high walls of the Hanxiang Pavilion.
King Chen saw the grievances of the deputy and pointed to the palace:
"Little sister, I want a kite."
Gu Yunxi's smile was charming:
"Your Highness will be here later, and the slaves and maids will go in and look for it."
In the blue sky and white day, the palace gate of the Hanxiang Pavilion is wide open, but there is no palace person to take care of the outer garden, so that the huge courtyard rushes in and no one knows.
The flowers and plants around are withered, and the smooth green brick pavement is full of dust and fallen leaves left by the autumn wind for several nights, and it seems that no one has been waiting for or cleaning for a long time.
The master of this palace is Sun Shengsheng, because he offended the imperial concubine as soon as he entered the palace, he was punished and neglected so far, and it is not easy to come to this time.
With a keen gaze swept around, Gu Yunxi saw the kite leaning in the corner, and took a few steps to pick it up. After turning over and looking carefully, I saw that the kite was not damaged, and I was relieved.
Hey, I knew that the outer garden was unattended, so I really didn't have to go to great lengths to enter on the grounds of looking for kites.
Neiyuan shouted and scolded, attracting Gu Yunxi's attention.
She walked lightly into the door, and the chatter in front of her ears sounded louder and louder:
"You dog minions, seeing that the master has lost power, have disrespectful and slack thoughts, and one by one still want to ride on the head of the master to make a fortune? The Lord tells you, everyone is the same, looking forward to the death of the Lord, but it is still 108,000 years earlyββ"
It was Sun Shengsheng who shouted angrily.
Gu Yunxi pulled his lips and smiled secretly, and slowly walked into the hall.
When I entered the door, I saw Sun Shengsheng leaning in the circle chair, so angry that he was about to turn his back on it, but the appearance of the disheveled hair and messy dress did not surprise Gu Yunxi too much.
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old palace maid knelt at Sun Shengsheng's feet with tears on her face.
Next to the circle chair were broken cups and water stains.
Seeing Gu Yunxi in the female official's palace uniform, Sun Shengsheng was completely stunned.
Gu Yunxi blessed Sun Shengsheng, with a shallow voice and a humble complexion:
"The slave and maid Chuxiu Palace maid Tu Duxue have seen Sun Jieyu, the little lord Jin An. It was only because the master's kite broke off and fell into the palace of the little master that the slave and maid broke in without communication, and hoped that the little master would forgive his sins. β
"Twilight, Twilight Snow ......"
Sun Shengsheng's pair of watery eyes widened behind a few bundles of messy hair, and he suddenly realized that he was disheveled and lost his manners, and he was in a hurry on the chair for a moment but did not clean himself up, and suddenly he was ashamed and ashamed, and he began to cry, and said intermittently:
"Communication? It's a fart! Seeing that the master had lost his power since his daughter's meeting, this gang of lazy and black-hearted minions abandoned the master, either finding a good place to go, or going out to play money without black and daylight. Only such a useless minion is left, and he can't even comb a decent haircut for his master! β
As he spoke, Sun Shengsheng's eyes were cold and resentful, and he slashed at the kneeling palace maid and kicked him hard.
The palace maid fell to the ground and got up again, crying and kowtowing, begging for forgiveness from her master.
Gu Yunxi put down the paper kite, came up with an eager and burning face, and said:
"The little master's body is the most expensive, but he can't afford to be in such a hurry. If you can trust the slave and the maid, is it good for the slave and the maid to comb the hair of the little master? β
"Really?"
Sun Shengsheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled Gu Yunxi to the cabinet dressing table.
Gu Yunxi instructed the little palace maid to bring a basin of hot water, personally serve Sun Shengsheng to clean her face, and then held a jasper comb in front of the makeup mirror to comb her chic and elegant Ling Xuan bun, with a few beaded flowers and acacia entangled branches and swaying, delicate but not cumbersome.
When the light makeup is painted, he is a charming and graceful person in the bronze mirror.
Sun Shengsheng looked left and right in front of the rhombic glasses, and was very satisfied, so he ran to get a red envelope for Gu Yunxi, and finally returned disgraced.
"Twilight, next time, next time, this master will definitely reward you."
"What did the little master say, being able to serve the little master once is the blessing of a slave and maid, why do you need your reward?"
With a glint in his eyes, Gu Yunxi said one thing on his lips, but he was thinking about another in his heart.
Sun Shengsheng offended the imperial concubine and was punished and given a cold reception, and the daily expenses in the palace were not small, and about two months of palace life ruined the little money she brought from her mother's family.
There are many minions in the palace who hold high and low, and their nostrils are facing the sky, and the masters who have lost power want to tribal them, so they must pay more gold and silver.
Gu Yunxi's fluttering eyes aimed at the dressing table:
"When the slave maid was curling for the little master, he saw that the little master's head oil was about to run out, and the master remembered to tell the slaves to go to the Shanggong Bureau to get some back."
Sun Shengsheng turned around from the mirror and sighed in front of Gu Yunxi:
"Where is the Lord moving them now? To tell you the truth, some of the silver that the master brought with him when he left home was used in the tribute courtyard, and the rest was almost out after entering the palace.
The previous one wrote a letter to ask for some from his mother's house, asking Xiao Manzi to go out to send him off, but the damn slaves all urged him to refuse, and he couldn't wait to let the master starve to death in the palace, so he took advantage of their wishes. β
"How's that going to work?"
Gu Yunxi laughed inwardly when he heard this, but his face was shocked and sympathetic, and he was busy comforting:
"You are the master, how can you tolerate such a servant and rude? Isn't it just a letter from home? You give it to the slave maid, and the slave and maid will find a way to take people out of the palace, and they will definitely help you send the letter to the house. β
People who have been cold for a long time will naturally be grateful for the grace of sending charcoal in the snow when they receive attention at first glance.
Sun Shengsheng was surprised, grabbed Gu Yunxi's hands and cried bitterly:
"Twilight, you're such a nice person. At the beginning, my sister was ignorant in Gongyuan, but now I understand some of the truth after suffering a loss. You don't remember villains, don't be like your sister! β
Gu Yunxi put on a gentle smile, and at the bottom of his shallow eyes, there was a trace of faint light blooming.
"Little master, don't talk like this, you are now the master's sister and just a slave, you can't trespass the number of respects and humility, the slaves and maids understand the truth, and the people in your palace must understand.
The little master doesn't think that the slaves and maids speak directly, they are all deceiving you not to touch the holy favor, and treat you as those women in the cold palace. β
After a pause, I saw that Sun Shengsheng's pink and delicate face suddenly tightened, and the white shell teeth were in his mouth, and he bit it with a "gurgling" sound.
She raised her eyebrows and clenched her fists, and her tone was resentful and unwilling:
"It's also strange that the owner was blinded by lard at the beginning, and he actually wanted to tie up the imperial concubine. Her unpredictable temperament is the most difficult to figure out, so I was beaten for no reason, and I will be wasted in the Hanxiang Pavilion from now on! β
Gu Yunxi narrowed his eyes, and his gentle eyes were as silent as ice.
Leaning over to approach Sun Shengsheng, Gu Yunxi lowered his voice:
"Little master, you should take the lead in the harem in terms of conduct and appearance, and it is a pity to encounter unprovoked beatings, why not take advantage of the good years and grasp it in time?"
"Suppression? You mean......"
Sun Shengsheng suddenly realized, his feather eyelashes trembled, tilted his head and thought for a moment, and clenched his five fingers angrily:
"Do you have an idea?"
Gu Yunxi exchanged words with her for a while.
Sun Shengsheng listened, nodded frequently, and finally asked rhetorically:
"Are you sure...... Was that time accurate? β
Gu Yunxi's face was determined:
"The slave has already informed the little master of the method, whether you can take the prison chance is all up to you."
Sun Shengsheng's eyes were aggressive, and his expression was resolute:
"Okay, I'll put it together!"
ββ
Walking out of the Hanxiang Pavilion, Gu Yunxi saw King Chen standing in the sun, sweating profusely from the bright sun.
"Your Highness, you, why are you still here!"
Gu Yunxi hurriedly ran over and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
King Chen was a head taller than her, and she had to lift her head, and her neck ached after a long time.
Chen Wang'an enjoyed her care, and smiled silly at her:
"Hehe, didn't you tell me to wait for you here? I don't dare to leave if you don't come out, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find you. β
The words made Gu Yunxi feel guilty, and he thought that after staying in the Hanxiang Pavilion for a long time, King Chen would run away to play elsewhere, not wanting this fool's mind to turn at all.
Let him wait for him, and if the sun is damaged, she will not escape the blame.
King Chen was unusually quiet when Gu Yunxi wiped his face for him, and his slightly drooping gaze fell softly on the girl's cheek.
Compared with what Kan Fangting saw at that time, her appearance is indeed much inferior now, but it can't be classified as "ugly".
In particular, the bright eyes reflected in the white snow and clear skin are filled with warm light, the crystal lips are gently pursed in the sun, and the tall eyelashes are like soft feather brushes to bring out a serious and focused expression, which always makes people feel pity at a glance.
In the blink of an eye, King Chen suddenly snatched the kite from Gu Yunxi's other hand, ran forward and laughed:
"Haha, this kite belongs to me, it's so much better than the ones the grandmothers made for me-"
"Hey! Your Highness, give me back the kite! β
Gu Yunxi chased after him.
The kite was made by Lord Leng himself, and he said that he would give it to her, how could he let others snatch it.
Relying on martial arts, Gu Yunxi quickly caught up with King Chen, grabbed his sleeve and swayed and pleaded:
"Your Highness, please return this kite to the slave."
His eyes locked on the girl's nervous and pitiful appearance, and King Chen's young handsome face suddenly showed a hint of uncertain depth, like a normal person, with a fixed expression.
Then the color of his eyes suddenly became thicker, and he became dancing again:
"Why do you want to pay you back, you broke me, shouldn't this only compensate me?"
Gu Yunxi was dumbfounded.
This fool is really stupid and treacherous, and he hasn't forgotten what happened before.
But for the sake of the kite of the cold overlord, she had to continue to beg softly:
"King Chen, if you like kites, drive Ming'er's slave maid to buy a better one for you outside the palace, and this one will be a slave maid!"
King Chen pursed his lips and tightened his grip on the kite:
"No way!"
Gu Yunxi stood dryly, his expression so disappointed.
As a slave, you can't just take a few steps to snatch the kite back. The emperor's son is sometimes stupid and sometimes smart, and his heart and eyes are like a small ledger that remembers all the things that are not good for him. provokes him, and when he turns around, he will threaten to complain to Concubine Xu, and then shake out the matter of the Imperial Garden.
After a stalemate for a while, perhaps sensing that the girl looked sad, King Chen stepped forward and shoved the kite back into her hand.
"Pay you back, pay you back, isn't it just a thing, I'm not rare!"
Gu Yunxi turned from sadness to joy, looked at the lost kite, turned to King Chen with sparkling eyes, and thanked him again and again.
King Chen lowered his eyebrows and asked in a humble voice:
"You care so much about this kite, but do you like that beautiful uncle who is full of fragrance?"
The long eyelashes suddenly raised, the girl's face was red, and she frowned and retorted:
"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, what do you know?"
King Chen smiled again: "Why don't you know, you like him just like I always like to chase you and play, I can't wait to see it every day." β
Gu Yunxi's attention was all focused on her relationship with Leng Qingtang at the moment, and she didn't pay attention to the other meanings in King Chen's words, and still looked at the kite.
King Chen's face slid through the gloomy look, and suddenly it was cloudy and clear, and his expression was innocent:
"I heard my grandmother say that my beautiful uncle's name is 'Eunuch'...... What did the castration come from? β
He scratched his head, as if suddenly forgetful.
Gu Yunxi immediately realized it, and raised his hand to block King Chen's mouth:
"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, eunuchs are also people! Lord Leng is a good person, and Minglan's kind is a wicked person! β
"Oh, I see."
This meager skin kiss made King Chen's eyes suddenly widen, as if a little pleasure bloomed between his eyebrows and eyes.
Shaking Gu Yunxi's hand, he smiled heartily:
"I'm hungry, young lady, the kite will be returned to you, and in return, I will go to your room for lunch."
Gu Yunxi was helpless, regretting that he shouldn't have messed with this sticky candy, so he had to nod and say:
"Okay, good, good, slave maid will take His Highness back to the palace!"
