Chapter 116: A Chance Encounter
Chapter 116: A Chance Encounter
After taking the medicine, Prince Oak had not come back, Jin Su looked around, and there was no movement of the dense begonias. She was not very familiar with the environment in the palace, and now, she didn't dare to act rashly, so she had to wait here.
The sun in autumn is no longer hot, and it is warm and warm on people, but it also makes people lazy.
Jin Su fell asleep on her knees. A gust of wind blew, she felt a little cold, closed her eyes, pulled her clothes, felt warmer, and fell asleep again.
It wasn't until the aroma of food came from her that she came to her senses.
"Are you awake?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Prince Oak asked.
Sitting up, his shirt slipping off, Prince Oak stepped forward to pick it up, shook the dust off it, and put it on.
Before he could say thank you, Prince Oak pouted to the side, "Oh, eat quickly, you fell asleep just now, and your stomach was still growling!" ”
Jin Su smiled awkwardly, she was indeed hungry, and it was extremely difficult for her to be able to hold on to her breakfast until now.
"Thank you Lord Wang, then I'm welcome", after speaking, Jin Su started eating.
I don't know if I'm hungry or if these things are too delicious, Jin Su can't stop eating at all, although it's not a gobble, but it's completely devoid of the elegance of breakfast. frightened the prince oak next to her, and persuaded her to slow down, slow down.
"How long has it been since you've eaten? No, it makes people think that Ningshou Palace abuses you a lot! Prince Oak joked.
"Heh, let the prince laugh," Jin Su said embarrassedly.
After eating well and resting, the sun is gradually facing west, Jinsu is worried that Aunt Wenli will not find her when she comes back, and something big will happen, so she said to Prince Oak that it is time to go out.
When he went out, Prince Oak put the leftover snacks from Jinsu into a basket full of begonia fruits, and put some fruits on top to cover up.
Seeing that he was skillful, Jin Su smiled, "The prince looks so familiar with a light car, it seems that he has not done such a thing?" ”
Prince Oak put down the last fruit, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Hey, am I that kind of person in your heart?" Don't forget that I'm a dignified prince, do I need to do such a thing? This is the first time I've seen it! ”
Maybe it's the first time in the palace! He~ Jin Su suddenly thought of the first time he tied him up, with a ruffian air, and at a glance he looked like a person who stole chickens and dogs.
Maybe it's because Jinsu is not so tired, and he feels that he didn't take a few steps before he came out. The probe probed his brain and saw that there was no one in the pavilion, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could sigh about his good luck, he heard Aunt Wen Li shout, "Miss An, you ......"
"Lord Wang? The slave has seen the prince! ”
Aunt Wen Li was still commanding her like a tiger just now, but when she saw Prince Oak coming out from behind her, she instantly turned into a little soft cat.
"It's Aunt Wenli, get up quickly!" Prince Oak said casually, and then said to her, "Miss An, thank you for helping this king harvest these fruits today." ”
Jin Su is such a smart person, of course, he immediately understood that Prince Li deliberately said it to Wen Li, and immediately cooperated, "The prince is polite, it is an honor for the courtiers to be able to do things for the prince!" ”
"Okay, then you go on, this king will go first," said Prince Oak secretly winked at Jinsu, smiled lightly, and turned to leave.
Before he went far, Jin Su said to Wen Li, "Auntie, I took the initiative to help the prince, delayed the practice, and asked my aunt to punish me!" ”
Wen Li pursed her lips and said insincerely, "Since you are going to help the prince do things, what punishment do you say?" It's not early today, so let's practice a few more times! ”
"Good!"
After Jinsu finished speaking, she practiced back and forth more than ten times according to Aunt Wenli's request. Halfway through, Aunt Wen Li said that she was going to serve the seventeenth princess's dinner in a hurry, so she left early. And she, until the sun completely set, slowly walked towards Ningshou Palace.
She calculated that from the pavilion of Begonia House to the back gate of Ningshou Palace, there were only more than a hundred steps, and even if she walked slowly, she could always reach it before dark.
That's right, she was so accurate that she walked a hundred and thirty steps to the back door, and at that time, it was not yet completely dark. But she didn't expect the back door to be closed!
"Bang bang! Anyone? Jinsu shouted.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement at all, let alone responding to her.
"Bang Bang!" She slapped it a few more times, but the result was still the same.
I took a few steps back and looked at the courtyard wall, which was not very high, and there was a suitable focus point, so it should not be a problem to turn over. However, she didn't dare, after all, she was a newcomer, and the palace was not as good as the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was not a place where she could walk if she wanted to.
Besides, she didn't know if it was the rule of the palace to close the back door at this time, or if she was deliberately playing a prank on her, maybe there was some big trick waiting for her inside.
After much hesitation, she gave up the idea of climbing over the wall.
Going out through the back door, there are two paths, one is the one she walked back to Haitang Residence just now, and the other is unknown, but she is going to take this one to try her luck now.
Seeing that it was getting dark, she quickened her pace, just wanting to get out as quickly as possible, so that she could meet someone who could ask for directions.
But the truth is so magical, on weekdays, I look at the way to and fro, but today, I didn't meet any of them.
All the way out of the begonia forest, across a palace gate into the road.
The road that couldn't see the end at a glance made her, who had always been calm, a little flustered.
After walking forward for a while, after crossing a palace gate, on her right side, another palace gate appeared, and there was still a road behind the palace gate. This time, she really realized what it means to enter the palace gate as deep as the sea.
She was hesitating how to choose, and vaguely saw two fathers-in-law walking towards her not far away. She had some expectations, as if she was expecting a savior. So I decided to wait where I was, and wait for them to come over and ask about the situation.
I don't know if it's because the distance is too far, or if the two fathers-in-law are walking too slowly, Jin Su waited a little anxiously, and even thought about whether to take the initiative to ask. Who knew that before he could take a step, he watched the two fathers-in-law turn in from the front palace gate in advance.
The two fathers-in-law had always been walking on the left side of the palace wall, and she really didn't know that they would turn into the palace gate on the right so suddenly.
Jin Su chased after him without even thinking about it, but these two fathers-in-law finally met them.
Ran to the gate of the next palace, and if he was not careful, he hit a strong human wall.
Before he could see who he had hit, he was pushed hard, accompanied by a scolding, "Don't die, dog!" So frizzy, which palace is it? Hurry up and get your name out! ”
Alas! What a bad luck! Jin Su sighed secretly.
lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and immediately bowed in embarrassment, "Courtier......
"Let's go," the cold voice sounded.
The voice...... So familiar, Jin Su raised his eyes slightly, that tall posture, cold face, who is not Feng Yao? I thought I was unlucky just now, and I bumped into some great character, but it turned out to be a big savior!
Feng Yao had just taken two steps before Jin Su couldn't hide his joy and shouted behind him, "Eighth Highness? ”
I don't know if it's her illusion, when Feng Yao turned around, there was a surprise in her eyes, although it was fleeting, but she still caught it.
"Miss Ann?" Feng Yao's secret guard, the person who scolded her just now, said in surprise, "Why are you?" You're not supposed to be in ......"
Feng Yao glanced at him, and his words stopped abruptly, pursed his mouth, and stepped aside.
Jin Su still responded embarrassedly, "Well, it's a long story, I was originally in Haitang Residence, but when I went back to Ningshou Palace, the back door was closed, and I wanted to go around through the front door, but I got lost." ”
"Begonia House?"
"Well, I wonder if Your Highness can help me show me the way?" Jin Su asked in a low voice.
Feng Yao didn't say a word, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and took two steps before turning around and shouting, "What are you doing in a daze?" Aren't you going back to Ningshou Palace? ”
"Oh, yes," Jinsu replied as he trotted two steps to follow.
After she followed, Feng Yao slowed down, as if to cater to her.
"According to the palace rules, the backyard door is closed at one hour in the harem, and the palace people are counted for each palace at three o'clock, so during this time, the people in each palace will basically not come out and walk around at will." Feng Yao said as he walked, his tone of attitude was unprecedentedly gentle.
Jin Su nodded, and snorted, if she had known this, she would definitely have returned to Ningshou Palace early.
"In the corridor, the lower the status, the more you walk against the wall, in order not to block the path of the master. Like you just now, you should go a little further to make sure that there is no one before you can turn right and enter the next palace gate. ”
"Well, I know, thank you Your Highness!" Jin Su responded, and this time she finally understood why the two fathers-in-law kept walking against the wall.
Feng Yao is a prince with a noble status, and she is the daughter of a minister, so she is humble and orderly, and she can't walk side by side with him. Besides, there is a difference between men and women, and she can't get too close to him, so she stays just one step behind him on the right side.
Feng Yao glanced at her slightly, lowered his voice and asked, "But is anyone embarrassed for you?" ”
"Huh? What the? ”
One is that Jin Su was a little distracted and didn't hear clearly, and the other is that she didn't think Feng Yao would care about her so much, and she couldn't believe it.
"The people in the palace are used to seeing the wind and the rudder, and the yang is against the yin, and you are new to the city, I'm afraid you will suffer some grievances." Feng Yao said, as if he was still a little worried and distressed.
Jinsu didn't know how to respond, so she had to be silent.
After crossing the two palace gates in a twist and turn, Feng Yao finally stopped and pointed to the palace gate in front of him, "Just turn in from there, and I'll send you here!" ”
Jin Su bowed slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness!" If I hadn't met you today, the courtiers wouldn't know when to find it. ”
"Go ahead," Toyoyao said.
With a shallow smile, Jin Su strode towards Ningshou Palace, walked to the gate of the palace, and turned around to find Feng Yao still standing in place looking at her. Just looking at each other for this second made her heart warm, as if a warm current was passing by.
