Chapter 24: The Slap
"Lord Jingyao has been kneeling outside for two hours. The little eunuch reminded in a low voice, "Is it true that the prince doesn't see her?"
Qi Zi looked at the music seriously, and said lightly: "Let her stop kneeling, go back first, I still have things to do, so it's inconvenient to see her." ”
"Yes. ”
The little eunuch opened the door and went out, Jing Yao hurriedly raised her eyes and said happily: "Is Brother Mi Zi willing to see me?"
"The prince said, the county lord should go back first, he is still busy with things now, and it is inconvenient to see you. The little eunuch said.
"Brother Mi Zi really said that?" Jing Yao said with a pouting of disappointment, "He must be angry with me, he must not forgive me!
"The son of the world is entangled in everything now, and it is normal that he can't pull away. The little eunuch said, "Don't think too much about it, go back first!"
Jing Yao reluctantly got up, rubbed her already sore knees, and was about to leave when she saw Sun Pingling's figure, frowned and asked, "Why is she here?"
The county lord also knew that there were too many things going on in the palace, and the prince had too many things to deal with, so he was too busy, so the county lord of Leyi asked Miss Sun to enter the palace to deal with some affairs. The little eunuch whispered, "County Lord, please!"
Jing Yao gritted her teeth, straightened her back, raised her chin, and waited with a haughty face, not planning to leave.
"Isn't this Miss Sun?" she chuckled and said disdainfully.
Sun Pingling looked at Jing Yao and smiled faintly, and blessed his body: "I've seen the county lord." ”
"What are you doing here?" Brother Qi Zi is busy now, don't disturb him!" Jing Yao said in a cold voice, "This place doesn't belong to you, you should leave here." ”
"Where I should belong, this is not what the county lord said. But the county lord said that I don't belong to this place, has the county lord ever thought that this place is where you should come again?Otherwise, the prince wouldn't have avoided it, right?" Sun Pingling smiled, "I still have something to report to the prince, so I can't accompany the county lord to continue to catch up, and I will visit the county lord again when I am free another day." ”
Sun Pingling turned around and was about to enter, Jing Yao grabbed her sleeve and shouted, "Who allowed you to go in?"
"What does this mean, county lord?" Sun Pingling glanced at Jing Yao's hand and smiled unhurriedly, "County lord, this is the palace, please don't make a noise." ”
"Don't be embarrassed!" Jing Yao gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think that now that you can enter and leave the palace freely, you will regard yourself as the mistress of the palace? I should tell you, you are dreaming! With your dignity, do you think Brother Qi Zi can look up to you? Why don't you pee and take care of yourself? If I were you, I would have jumped off the building a long time ago!"
Sun Pingling is a very good woman, she is very good in every convenience, the only thing that makes her feel inferior is that her appearance is not outstanding enough, others always praise her cuteness, praise her affinity, praise her talent, but never praise her beauty. She used her ability to let others ignore her appearance, but this faint regret is always a scar left in the bottom of her heart, it is good that no one touches it on weekdays, as long as she is touched, she will definitely be bloody.
Being poked in pain, a sneer appeared on Sun Pingling's lips: "The county lord helped the king of Dongping almost capture the prince alive, how powerful are you! Although the prince of the world no longer pursues the king of Pingdong, and still regards him as a meritorious minister, I don't understand, why do you still have the face to appear in front of the prince? The county lord kept saying that he liked the prince, but in the end, didn't he betray him as well? I'm not as beautiful and moving as the county lord, but I at least know what dignity is and what face is, if a person doesn't even want face, what's the use of just having a pair of skins?"
"You!" Jing Yao's face turned red with anger, she glared at Sun Pingling viciously, and raised her hand to slap him.
Sun Pingling took this slap, covered his face and took a step back.
At this time, the door was opened, and Qi Zi protected Sun Pingling in his arms, he stared at Jing Yao coldly, and asked coldly, "What are you doing just now?"
"I ......" Jing Yao's face changed for a moment, and she hurriedly pointed at Sun Pingling and said, "It's her! She scolded me first just now! Brother Qi Zi, you have to believe me, it was really she who provoked me first!"
"No matter when, you blame others for your mistakes, and you don't have any mistakes at all, when can you change this character?" Qi Zi said impatiently, "I'm just in there, I'm not deaf, I'm listening! Jing Yao, you have to remember clearly, this is the palace, not his fiefdom of King Pingdong, not your presumptuous place! Apologize to her!"
Jing Yao bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "Why do you always think that everything I do is wrong?"
"Apologize to her!" Qi Zi stared at Jing Yao tightly and repeatedly.
"I'm sorry!" Jing Yao stomped her foot, and after a roar, she turned and ran away.
Qi Zi took off Sun Pingling's hand covering her face, observed her slightly swollen face, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's nothing, it's just a slap in the face, don't worry about it. Sun Pingling pretended to smile relaxedly, "I still have something to report to the world!"
"Let's go in and talk. Qi Zi said, his footsteps paused, his eyes turned, as if he remembered something, let Sun Pingling go in first, he whispered a few words in the ear of the personal little eunuch Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi nodded, and left immediately.
"Does it hurt?" asked Mi Zi.
Sun Pingling shook his head: "Little meaning, you forgot, when I was a child, my father often beat me with a ring ruler, and my hand plate heart never became swollen when I was a child, what is this!"
"That being said, you are a girl after all, and how can a girl not be afraid of pain. Qi Zi said and took out a medicine box from the cabinet on the side, took out a bottle of ointment and handed it to Sun Pingling, "This ointment can reduce swelling and relieve pain, you apply a little first." ”
"Xie Shizi 1" Sun Pingling took it with a smile, paused, and asked, "However, what is the reason why the prince asked Lord Jingyao to come?"
"My aunt asked her to come. Mi Zi said, "What else can I do, be a hostage, and let her father Wang An." I don't care about myself, forgive him, King Pingdong doesn't dare to act rashly at the moment. By the way, what are you going to tell me?"
"This is the ritual process that has been changed according to the request of the prince of the world presented by the Ministry of Rites, I have already seen it, and there is no problem. Sun Pingling said, "Also, this is the list of envoys from various countries, from the day after tomorrow, they will come to the capital one after another, this is the scale of the hospitality, the prince will take a look at it and see if there is anything wrong." ”
"Hmm. Qi Zi glanced at the list of envoys from various countries, and when he saw that the envoy of Northern Xia turned out to be the crown prince Liu Xu, his body stiffened.
Seeing that he had been staring at the list of envoys, Sun Pingling frowned and asked, "Shizi, is there anything wrong?"
"No!" Qi Zi said lightly, he glanced at everything Sun Pingling presented, "There is no problem, you can do it with the Ministry of Rites, this time Nanchu was damaged because of the war, and now the treasury is empty, as long as you don't lose the courtesy, you don't have to slap your swollen face and become fat." ”
"Understood. ”
At this time, Xiao Qi opened the door and reported: "Shizi, Miss Jiang has arrived." ”
"Hmm. Qi Zi hurriedly closed the list of envoys, "Please come in, Miss Jiang." ”
Mo Ziyu hurriedly came with the medicine box, what Xiao Qi said was not clear, only said that someone was injured here, she was startled, and thought that Mi Zi had called someone to assassinate her.
"Who's hurt, and what's the condition?"
Qi Zi coughed, pointed at Sun Pingling and said, "Miss Sun's face is injured, you can show her." ”
Mo Ziyu's gaze moved to Sun Pingling's face, only to see that her right cheek was slightly red and swollen, and the marks on her fingers were obvious, obviously she was slapped, who dared to beat her in this palace, could it be Mi Zi?
She didn't ask much, she came to Sun Pingling in a few steps and said, "Miss Sun, let me take a look." ”
Sun Pingling was a little embarrassed, although she knew that the prince had good intentions, but she didn't want her embarrassment to be shown to others, she turned her face slightly to the side, and said lightly: "It's just a small injury, but there is no need to bother Miss Jiang!"
Mo Ziyu glanced at Qi Zi and asked what was going on with his eyes.
Qi Zi coughed lightly, and said, "Miss Sun, Miss Jiang's medical skills are good, you can let her show you, the girl's face is the most important, don't leave any scars." ”
Mo Ziyu understood Sun Pingling's mood at this time, took out a bottle of ointment from the medicine box, and put it on the table: "This ointment has a miraculous effect, Miss Sun can try it." ”
Qi Zi got up, picked up the bottle, opened it, smelled it, poured out some more on his fingers, and said, "I'll grind the medicine for you!"
"Huh?" Sun Pingling was a little surprised, "No...... Don't bother the world, I can take the medicine myself. ”
Qi Zi was a little insistent, but Sun Pingling couldn't, so he had to lean his face over and let him take the medicine.
Mo Ziyu scratched his hair, what was he doing here? What did he want to do on this trip?
Mi Zi's action of applying the medicine was very light, and after a while, he smeared the medicine on Sun Pingling, and comforted him softly: "I have wronged you today!"
"The prince of the world must not say that, don't dare to be!" Sun Pingling's face was very red, and he didn't dare to look at Mi Zi with his eyes down, "I'...... I'm going to do things first. ”
Sun Pingling left quickly, and when he passed by Mo Ziyu's side, his footsteps stopped: "Thank you Miss Jiang for the medicine." Then he left.
"You asked me to come just for this?" Mo Ziyu was puzzled, "No one else was injured, right?" ”
Just as Mo Ziyu turned around, Mi Zi's voice came: "Do you know who the envoy of Northern Xia is this time? It's the crown prince Liu Xu." ”
