Chapter Seventy-Two: King Ming (II)
King Ming can't compare to King Wen in terms of poetry and poetry, but he has also practiced literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he can also taste good or bad, even if he is such a cruel person as the eldest prince, sometimes he can come to two sentences, vassal elegance.
Now this couplet cultivated by Xia Zi, after the couplet came out, it was really too suitable for the occasion, and King Ming and Liu Shiyan were laughing with joy. It's been a long time since it's been so ridiculous!
It was the nineteenth sister's literary brilliance that made King Ming a little surprised, as if he had a little bit of the demeanor of the seventh sister back then, so King Ming suddenly read to the nineteenth princess: "Ask Guanyin why is he sitting upside down?" ”
The nineteenth princess looked at King Ming, and was a little depressed, she didn't expect Xia Zixiu to be so embarrassed by King Ming, so the nineteenth princess was not to be outdone: "Hate all beings and refuse to turn back!" ”
"Yes! It's the shore to turn around! King Ming seemed to be persuading the nineteenth princess, and said with a sigh.
"Brother Huang's talent!" The nineteenth princess bowed to King Ming, and then said in a low voice, she knew that these princes who could have their own fiefdoms were all civil and military, and they were very intelligent, and the second emperor brother in front of her, although the reputation was not very good, was also an unfathomable character!
"Virtuous nephew, this king also joined in the fun and made a couplet. Listen up: there is no prescience in the world! You're right, this shouldn't be difficult, right? King Ming stood up, and the kingly aura in his body suddenly appeared, this kind of coercion is really awe-inspiring!
"People are self-aware!" Xia Zixiu replied weakly, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that he had been tricked again, and King Ming seemed to be making fun of himself!
"Hahahaha! He is not wise that is not wise for himself! Right good, right good. Virtuous nephew, one more couplet, yes, let you delay the supply of forage for three months! "King Ming thinks it's almost, he's already happy, and he has suppressed Xia Zixiu without the arrogance at the beginning, after all, the nineteenth sister has just arrived, so let's leave a chance. So one hand was raised in mid-air, and the momentum was amazing, as if he was raising his hand to support the sky and despise the world: "One palm, five fingers, three long and two short!" ”
"......" Xia Zixiu was already completely out of momentum, muttering a thought, thinking for a long time, but still not right. He looked at the nineteenth princess again for help, but his face was hot.
But this time, the nineteenth princess couldn't think of it, and no one could come up with those civil officials who followed Xia Zixiu. Suddenly, the scene was extremely embarrassing, Xia Zixiu's face was pale, and his body couldn't help but tremble a little, and he didn't know if he was angry or ashamed......
"Hahahaha! Don't worry, I'll give you three days, as long as you can meet it within three days, my words still count! Farewell! King Ming was very happy in his heart, turned around and strode away......
When King Ming left, Xia Zixiu came to his senses, squeezed out some laugh lines and said: "Sister Zhen'er, don't worry, I will definitely be able to get this couplet right, I didn't play well today!" Why don't you go back first, just settle down, have a good rest, and I'll hold a banquet for you in the City Lord's Mansion at night!" ”
"Hmmm! That's good, Zixiu, don't worry, this is nothing, King Ming's momentum is too strong, it's already very good to have such a performance! The nineteenth princess was still very considerate, and comforted softly, she also felt that this pair should not be difficult for Xia Zixiu.
"Good! Definitely, definitely. Xia Zixiu's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the nineteenth princess is really very understanding, knowing that she has not played well, and she does not look down on herself.
But Wu Yue, who was behind the nineteenth princess, was a little confused, how could the young city lord who was both civil and military also have this expression? Isn't it supposed to be indomitable and arrogant! But Xia Zixiu looks like this, and he is really not as good as that annoying little fat man. Zhu Xiaobao doesn't care at any time! No, except when he beats him himself, he will let him cry and cry his mother and run away! Thinking of this, Wu Yue couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" The nineteenth princess asked a little dissatisfied, she was not in a very good mood now.
"Oh, no...... It's nothing, I'm thinking, Xiaobao should be able to come up! Wu Yue said a little flustered, after all, the princess is not in a good mood now, why did she laugh heartlessly!
"Humph! I don't need it yet! Zixiu will definitely be able to come up! Besides, the little treasures are not necessarily right! The nineteenth princess snorted, although she was very important to the little treasures, but compared to her sweetheart, it was obviously biased towards Xia Zixiu!
……
Zhu Xiaobao didn't have the heart to care about the couplets now, he was worrying about his residence. The mansion of the nineteenth princess is too small. It is much smaller than the original Nineteen Princesses' Mansion. And now the guards around the nineteenth princess have increased again, and there are almost more than 600 people including the subordinates, and the accommodation is not very spacious. Besides, Zhu Xiaobao is most interested in his own processing workshop, and there are basically not many places now, and it is not easy to keep secrets! So Zhu Xiaobao is very reluctant to live here.
Zhu Xiaobao thought about it for a long time and decided to move outside by himself. It's just that there is no suitable house outside, because he also needs a small river next to the residence. Of course, it was not entirely for enjoyment, but for the needs of his papermaking.
When the nineteenth princess came back, Zhu Xiaobao put forward his own ideas. Originally, the nineteenth princess was very unhappy, but now Zhu Xiaobao proposed to move out again, which made the nineteenth princess a little angry: "What, I just helped you get rid of your slavery, and you want to leave?" ”
"Hee-hee! No, princess, you have also seen it, now this place can't be used at all, and the things I want to make must be kept strictly secret, otherwise, someone else will steal it, and you won't lose the most! Zhu Xiaobao still said with a smile.
"That's it! Well, you can stay next to the women's barracks, there is a creek, and it's safer next to the women's barracks! Of course, they won't bother you! The nineteenth princess thought about it, and it was indeed the case, so she had to let Zhu Xiaobao live with the female soldiers first, because there was a small stream in the western place, and it was convenient for the female soldiers to wash and bathe. Of course, the male soldiers were in another place. This area is not large, and can only be garrisoned by female soldiers. It's just that when I trained, I trained with male soldiers!
When Zhu Xiaobao left happily, the nineteenth princess was still sullen, her mind was now all on the upper link, just now she actually wanted to ask Zhu Xiaobao, but when the words came to her mouth, the nineteenth princess still held back. You must believe Xia Zixiu, he also let out his words in front of Wu Yue, Xia Zixiu will definitely be able to come up, can he still let Wu Yue see jokes?
The chief manager next to him looked at the nineteenth princess worriedly, to be honest, he was very disappointed with Xia Zixiu's performance today, even if his strength was not good, but at least he had to show his confidence and pride, but Xia Zixiu's performance was very frustrated, and in the end, he was completely defeated, and there was no calm coming from the nineteenth princess.
"Princess, Xiaobao's affairs are very important. Xia Zixiu's matter can be solved by himself, after all, he is the city lord. Let's ...... "Mr. Wu tried to wake up the nineteenth princess.
"How can you say that, the two of us are sharing honor and disgrace now, and he won't be able to deal with him when the time comes, and I'm not the same as being implicated?" The nineteenth princess said a little unpleasantly.
"But, princess...... "What else does Chief Wu want to say."
"That's it! That's all for today! You can do the things of Zhu Xiaobao, I'm tired! The nineteenth princess said impatiently.
"Yes! Retire from decay! Chief Wu was stunned when he heard this, and then retreated very respectfully.
Out of the princess's study, Chief Wu saw Wu Yue pulling Zhu Xiaobao's ears and scolding angrily: "Okay, Zhu Xiaobao, you just wanted to move out when you arrived here, you have already planned it, right?" The princess is wrong about you, Bai is so good to you! ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Sister, I asked the princess for advice, and she asked me to move in with the female soldiers! Zhu Xiaobao tilted his head and shouted with his teeth bared.
"Huh? Did the princess agree? Wu Yue was stunned when she heard this, and then she was even more angry: "Then what should I do?" Am I going to move there too? So who will protect the princess? ”
"No, you just live here with the princess, I have thousands of female soldiers to protect me, it's enough! And third brother, you don't have to worry about me! "Although Zhu Xiaobao's ears hurt, he is still very happy in his heart, more than a thousand female soldiers, he is dazzled by the dazzle, a little green among the ten thousand flowers! It's a fairy-like day!
"Huh? How so? Wu Yue let go of Zhu Xiaobao a little distracted, and the latter ran away as soon as he slipped away.
"Yue'er!" At this time, Manager Wu came over and shouted softly.
"Father! I...... Is there something wrong? Why don't I feel happy at all? Woo woo woo woo ......" Wu Yue said a little aggrieved, and finally fell on the shoulder of Chief Wu and cried.
"Hmmm! You go pack your things and live in the women's barracks!" Chief Wu said very simply and bluntly.
"Huh? So, what about the princess? Wu Yue raised her head a little surprised and asked.
"Princess? She has Xia Zixiu, a civil and military all-rounder, and she still uses your protection? Go ahead, Xiaobao is the most important thing! Manager Wu said a little indignantly, but at the same time patted Wu Yue's shoulder very gently, knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father, Manager Wu had already seen that Wu Yue was reluctant to accept Zhu Xiaobao now, but he just refused to admit it!
……
In the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Zixiu was also turning back and forth in the study, and there were words in his mouth: "One palm, I'll give him the right ...... Stomping on both feet? No, isn't this nonsense? Three-legged? Four-legged? Five-body throw? No, no, the more you talk about it, the more spineless it becomes, why don't you have any inspiration today? No, no, you must calm down, the nineteenth princess is still counting on me! But why doesn't this pair match? ……”
