Volume I: Painting Hall Spring Chapter 32: Breaking the Siege
Qingxi and Yueying got out of Meijinglou and got into the carriage of the palace. The carriage crossed two streets, and a turn in the direction of the imperial city was the avenue leading to the Hengwang Mansion. On this road, there are many residences of princes and ministers, so the road is less crowded and quieter than the city road. Inside the carriage, the two laughed for a while.
Moon Shadow asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you today?" In the past, you rarely cared about such idle things. ”
"It's nothing, I just think I want to help that pair of brothers and sisters." Qingxi said, tilted his head, frowned, and said suspiciously: "I thought that girl was a difficult master, but I didn't expect her to withdraw like this?" It seems strange that she didn't mean to really embarrass anyone. ”
"Maybe you have nothing to say in three or two sentences?"
Qingxi sighed: "Although my words are right, they will not work if they really meet tough people." That girl has always been calm and composed, with a temperament that is not angry and arrogant, but she is not an ordinary person. ”
Moon Shadow pursed her lips, thinking carefully about what had just happened in the Plum View Tower. "Speaking of which, the two people behind the girl are also shrewd, and their eyes are always rolling."
"So it's unlikely that these three people are just trying to listen to the music, and it's impossible for them to make such a fuss because they can't hear the song they want to hear. is not a willful lady from a family of gentlemen. ”
As he spoke, the carriage came to a halt, and both of them rushed forward.
Moon Shadow hurriedly held Qingxi and asked urgently outside the car, "What's wrong?" ”
Before the driver could answer, a female voice came from outside the car: "I've come to ask Your Excellency for advice!" ”
"Is that her?" Qingxi immediately straightened her clothes, gave Moon Shadow a look, and asked her to open the car door.
After the car door opened, I saw that the green-shirted woman in Meijinglou was standing in front of her, with her hands behind her back and looking at her with a smile. The coachman was now under the control of his men.
Qingxi said in her heart, she must have been in trouble again if she was kind enough to take care of something. She sighed deeply, and when she looked up again, she was already as comfortable as a light breeze, and slowly got out of the car.
When the coachman on the side saw him get out of the car, he didn't care that he was being restrained, and shouted: "No, Wang ......."
Before the word concubine could be exported, he was intercepted by Qingxi, looked at him and said, "You, don't be impatient." Then he took two steps forward and said to the woman in green with a smile: "Girl, are you here to teach me a lesson?" But I don't have a place for you to smash it, how can this be good? ”
The woman in green just looked at her like that, carefully from top to bottom.
Seeing that the drumbeat that made Moon Shadow's heart beat more and more intense, she immediately jumped in front of Moon Shadow: "What a big boldness, do you know who we are?" ”
The woman in green chuckled lightly and said, "Aren't they two nosy scholars? ”
"We are." Moon Shadow just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qingxi, motioned for her to stand back, and said, "The girl is not from Shangdu, is she?" How to call it? ”
The woman in green nodded slightly, "My name is not enough to worry about." ”
"So what is the girl going to teach me a lesson?"
The woman in green crossed her arms as if she thought about it, and said, "The two girls, with fine skin and tender meat, how can they teach a lesson." I said, I'm here to ask for advice. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qingxi was not surprised, originally, the matter of women pretending to be men was not so difficult to see. Moon Shadow swallowed and moved back timidly.
Qingxi said calmly: "What do you ask?" ”
The woman in green touched her chin, leaned in front of her, and said softly: "Please ask, when the princess travels, will there be secret guards to protect her, and how many secret guards will protect her?" ”
Qingxi was startled, and stared at her with surprise and alertness. Before she could react, she saw that the woman in green had already pulled out a small short whip from her waist. She had a bad heart, as if the whip was coming at her.
Seeing that the whip was about to fall on Qingxi, Moon Shadow stepped forward and hugged her and protected her.
"Moon Shadow!" Qingxi exclaimed, expecting that Moon Shadow would be hit with this whip heavily, but when he heard a snap, the thin whip deviated from the direction and was thrown into the air, falling to the ground.
The woman in green had taken a few steps back.
Qingxi looked fixedly, and Xiao Yizheng was standing in front of him.
He was dressed in a dark robe and said to the woman in green: "These two are not something you can move!" "Mild with warnings.
Qingxi patted Moon Shadow's back, "It's okay! ”
Moon Shadow turned around instantly, and saw that the woman in green in front of her was also temporarily controlled by the two palace guards, and Xiao Yizheng was in front of Qingxi and herself, this heart finally fell, and she shouted happily: "The prince is here." ”
Xiao Yizheng turned around and glanced at the two of them, and nodded gently.
And Ling Qingsong also gasped and ran to their side at this time, "How is it, Heng'er, Moon Shadow, are you all right?" ”
"Brother?" Qingxi was surprised how he could be here.
Qing Song waved his hand and followed his breath, "Don't talk about this yet." Pointing to the woman in green, he said, "You, who are you?" How can you be so domineering and bully my sister! This was said intermittently, and it was obvious that the qi had not yet smoothed out.
Qingxi lowered his head slightly, slurped, and felt a little blind, and said in his heart My good brother, in this situation, you can choose not to speak, how can you feel that your momentum is a little weaker when you speak. However, his brother's handsomeness can also make a few points.
But the woman in green did only share a disdainful look from Ling Qingsong, then raised her head and said to Xiao Yizheng: "His Royal Highness King Heng is very skilled!" With that, he raised his hand and slapped it twice.
Xiao Yizheng smiled faintly, and his tone was flat: "Shangdu is the capital, and the girl should not be indulgent." Today's events, this king is not to blame for the past, and if you don't make an example, you can take people away. ”
The woman in green also regained her cold expression and said: "What Your Highness said is that I first came to Shangdu and have a lot of things to do, and I went to Namei Jinglou today just to see the world and try my luck, I never thought I would meet the princess." It's also fate, and if you offend, please Haihan. With that, she lifted her leg and left.
Xiao Yizheng waved his hand, and the palace guards also let his entourage go.
When the woman in green passed by Qingxi's side, Qingsong and Moon Shadow couldn't help but protect Qingxi tighter.
Qing Song was also relieved at this time, straightened his back, and said with a straight face: "This girl, the princess is not a good and willful person, today's matter, she is to help the singing class, not for herself." I listen to the girl's words, and I am also a person who knows propriety and reason, and I will be able to distinguish right from wrong. I hope to think twice about my actions in the future. ”
The woman in green gave him a blank look and said, "Long-winded." ”
Qingsong was speechless for a while, and felt that his anger was not going well again.
Qingxi listened to this, and then looked at his brother's face that was red in white and slightly black in red, and lowered his head and smiled. , obviously should not be more unwelcome to see this woman, but at this time, I feel that she is quite individual.
The woman in green looked at Qingxi again, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said lightly: "How do I know your identity, and how do I know the identity of Your Highness, isn't the princess curious about this?" With that, she strode away with her legs raised.
Qingxi couldn't hold back a smile on her lips, her eyebrows raised slightly, looking at her distant back, a lot of questions welled up in her heart.
At this time, Xiao Yizheng had already walked to her side and asked, "Fight the uneven girl, can we go home?" ”
Qingxi came back to his senses, and when he heard that he had given himself such a title, his face turned red, and he said to Qingsong: "Brother, why are you here?" ”
Qing Song said that it was a coincidence that he was also chatting with the prince in Meijinglou, so he came out with him. After saying that, he confirmed that Qingxi and Moon Shadow were fine, and hurriedly said that he was going home.
Qingxi wanted to ask a few more words, but when he saw that he moved quickly to say goodbye, he turned over and rode away, but he was helpless, and muttered: "I haven't seen him ride so fast on a horse on weekdays." ”
Xiao Yizheng said with a smile: "Lizhi, I'm afraid that you will ask him specific things again." He doesn't want you to know that we are discussing the affairs of the imperial court in Meijinglou today. Your father and brother want you to live a simpler life without knowing all those complicated and troublesome things. ”
Qingxi looked at him with a slight playfulness: "Your Highness knows my brother very well!" Today, I also invited a separate tea party, I didn't know that His Highness and my brother were so good! ”
Xiao Yizheng chuckled and teased: "Your mentality, yes, jealous?" Whose vinegar is this? What vinegar? ”
Qingxi's eyes widened, and he immediately replied, "No! Turning around to leave, after thinking about it, he retreated again, and instantly a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "If you say that you are jealous, that girl just now is a good partner." Heroic and cool, her temperament is cold, and her subordinates are not ordinary, and their backgrounds are probably not bad. ”
Xiao Yizheng had an expression that you said right, and echoed: "That's right, and you still have the courage to act." ”
Qingxi snorted lightly, "The prince is worthy of reading countless people, and Qingxi thinks that his ability to see people is not as good as the prince!" With that, he turned around and got into the carriage again with the help of Moon Shadow.
Xiao Yizheng lowered his head and smiled, and also walked to his mount.
Xiao Yizheng's mount is a tall and strong jujube red horse, with shiny fur and majestic style, and is known as chasing dust.
He rode his horse and followed Qingxi's carriage all the way back to the palace.
After returning home, Qingxi went directly back to Chaolan Garden. And Xiao Yizheng bathed Chasing Dust in the stable.
Zhao Xin hurriedly came and saluted: "Your Highness, Miss Li lives in the Shangdu branch of the Changfeng Dart Bureau. The subordinates have already passed the word and made an appointment to meet in the upper room of the inn in front of the door tonight. ”
Xiao Yizheng got up, patted Chasing Chen's back, put the horse brush in the barrel, put down his sleeves and said, "I know." Tonight, you come with me. ”
"Yes."
"In addition, in the future, when the princess travels, it is better to arrange 4 people to accompany her. If she doesn't want to, she will protect her secretly, as she is today. ”
"Yes. If it weren't for the prince's secret instructions not to make a move today, the two would have been in front of the princess. ”
Xiao Yizheng nodded.
Zhao Xin continued: "Your Highness doesn't want the people from the palace to hurt Miss Li. ”
"It's not that you don't know, her three-legged cat kung fu, it's okay to pretend to be intimidating, and she is moving, and she can only suffer a loss. Besides, she does things in a measured manner, and today's trouble is not to embarrass the princess, let alone hurt her. ”
