46. There is no good thing with the surname Shen
There were no more adventures that night.
The next morning, before Huan Lin opened her eyes, she shouted "Shen Yuli" twice, and she didn't hear a response for a long time, and she suddenly realized that she was no longer listening to Shui Xuan.
No one would talk to her anymore while she was noisy.
Huan Lin's heart suddenly felt empty. Obviously, sparrows are not very affectionate animals, and they should be happy after being released into nature, but she can't be happy.
She even forgot that she was not "released", but ran away on her own initiative.
After wandering aimlessly in the deserted garden for most of the day, Huanlin heard the news from the little sparrows, and learned that Shen Yuli didn't catch any more sparrows to eat last night, and of course he didn't apologize to the sparrows.
He went out to the study early this morning, as if he hadn't eaten breakfast.
Bah. Huan Lin scolded secretly in his heart.
Whether he eats breakfast or not, she doesn't care! She won't care if he starves to death!
Not anymore. He is now a serious prince, and the emperor and the concubine are very concerned about him! He went to the imperial dining room to order food, who could not give it to him? Who did he sell miserably to?
Huan Lin was quite unhappy, and walked around for a while, and actually walked under the porch outside the study for some reason.
At this time, it was about the time when the husband was talking, and there were only three or four little eunuchs squatting at the door, all separated from each other by more than a zhang, and no one paid attention to anyone.
Obviously, after this paper man curse incident, several princes were more or less traumatized. In addition to those who were seriously ill and couldn't get up temporarily, the brotherhood of the remaining few was also greatly affected, and even the people below began to guard against each other.
Alas, human beings!
Huan Lin shook his head and sighed, stared at the window of the study for a while, and finally did not move forward, but dodged back into the flowers before being discovered, and ran away.
Staying by Shen Yuli's side is not a long-term solution after all, she still needs to learn to get used to the days without friends. Huan Lin said to himself in his heart.
Learn to be alone, which is not easy for sparrows who like to live in groups.
In fact, Huanlin never thought that he would have such a day. For as long as she can remember, she has believed that sooner or later she will break out of her shell and become a real sparrow, flying like any other sparrow to feed, frolicking and carefree.
Later, as she watched her siblings grow up, start a family, reproduce, grow old, and die, and she still showed no signs of breaking her shell, she had to admit that she was completely different from them.
Since it is different, it is destined that she will not be able to fully integrate into that group. After the last nephew also went out of the nest to find a mate, her status in the flock was a little awkward.
This is also one of the reasons why she desperately wanted to integrate into the human world some time ago. However, now it seems that whether she is a sparrow or a human, it is a bit reluctant for her.
So, it's so hard to be a youkai!
Walking around the forest on the path where no one was around, muttering and complaining.
Maybe she should have some fun for herself, such as climbing the wall to spy on the secrets of the concubines as she used to, or becoming a little girl to tease the stupid princes or something.
But these are things that can only be done at night, and they are still boring during the day.
As the time approached noon, Huanlin's heart became more and more anxious. She rubbed her arms wildly, always feeling itchy here and there, as if she was having hair all over her body.
I don't know how many times after looking down to confirm that there is no hair, she angrily slapped her arm and scolded: "It's good to be able to grow hair!" It hasn't grown for more than three years, and it's still a bare egg! Shame on the dead! ”
"Yo-" A strange cry suddenly sounded behind him, "Isn't this the little brother around the forest by the side of His Royal Highness?" Why do you have time to go around today? ”
Huan Lin was startled by this voice, but she was glad that someone was willing to talk to her, so she hurriedly smiled and turned away.
The other party was a familiar little eunuch, and I couldn't remember which prince was next to him. Huanlin thought for a long time to no avail, so he had to reply vaguely: "I'll just walk around!" ”
The little eunuch sneered, showing a smile that saw through everything: "Don't be hard-mouthed, I know everything!" - Did you quarrel with the Fourth Highness? Did you run away from home on your own, or were you kicked out by the Four Highnesses? ”
Huan Lin was frightened by his teasing tone.
Why, the eunuch quarreled with the prince, is it not a big rebellion, but something that can be ridiculed?
The little eunuch seemed to be very busy, and when he saw that Huan Lin was in a daze and didn't answer, he waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "It's best not to run away from home for too long, you have to go back if you should go back, otherwise there will be newcomers around the Fourth Highness soon, and you will be in trouble at that time!" ”
Huan Lin was stunned by the words, thought about it for a long time, and became even more confused: why didn't she remember when the little eunuchs in the palace who didn't know each other were so friendly?
I didn't figure it out after turning it over, seeing that the little eunuch had already gone away, I hurriedly followed the forest and chased after him, and saw the other party shaking his head and sneering: "...... He also knows that it's embarrassing, but it's not stupid! It has spread all over the palace, and when the time comes, it will reach His Majesty's ears......"
Huanlin became more and more confused, and couldn't help but rush over with a few arrows, blocking the way of the little eunuch: "Hey, what has happened in the palace?" What happens when it reaches the ears of the emperor? ”
The little eunuch was so frightened by her that he staggered two steps, sat down on the ground with a bang, and his face turned pale: "No, nothing!" I didn't say anything, you heard it wrong! ”
"How could I have misheard!" Huan Lin was very unconvinced, "I can hear it clearly!" Are you going to rely on it? ”
The little eunuch's face turned even paler when he heard this, as if he had applied a layer of wax. Under Huanlin's menacing questioning, his cold sweat crackled and fell down, and tears flowed down: "Father-in-law Huanlin spares his life, I really don't know anything...... I just listened to it from someone else and followed it casually...... I really don't understand those things, and I don't dare to talk nonsense in front of my masters......"
Huan Lin looked at him so frightened that he was even more confused: "Why are you crying?" What are 'those things'? Where did you hear it? ”
She thought that her tone was already very gentle, but the other party was still so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, as if the rebellion had been exposed.
It's puzzling.
Huanlin knows that his experience and knowledge are limited, and many things are not easy to figure out, so it is useless to guess.
But it's useless to ask directly, this little eunuch obviously won't say.
She rolled her eyes, suddenly had an idea, and immediately pretended to be fierce, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I can let His Highness ask, or let His Majesty ask, there will always be a time when you are willing to speak!" ”
"Really?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind him, and he successfully frightened the forest.
Of course, this is not the voice of the little eunuch, but Shen Yuli.
Huan Lin turned around in surprise and saw Shen Yuli and Shen Qin standing side by side on the road, followed by two little eunuchs, their heads hanging so much that they were almost buried in their chests.
"You ......" Huan Lin's face immediately showed joy.
But she soon remembered that she was still angry about the roasted sparrows, and she smiled busily, and turned her face away with a cold snort, indicating that she did not want to say hello.
Shen Yuli has always been very accustomed to her, neither big nor small. But today he did not smile as usual, but walked over quickly and shouted: "You, kneel, slap your mouth!" ”
Huanlin didn't pay attention to it at all. In her opinion, even if Shen Yuli wants to scold or beat people, the object will definitely not be her.
So, is this to be angry for her and punish the insincere little eunuch who said half hiding and half hiding?
She was a little proud, and then felt a little guilty, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to ......."
"Get on your knees!" Shen Yuli drank vigorously again.
Huan Lin noticed that his tone was wrong, and only then did he realize that he was not speaking to the little eunuch. From beginning to end, his eyes were fixed on her.
So, the phrase "Kneel, slap your mouth!" "Did you say that?
He's going to slap her mouth?
Huanlin was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly became angry: "Okay, Shen Yuli, you are so powerful now, you dare to put on a master's stand against me!" I knew you weren't a good person...... I ate roasted sparrows last night, is it time to eat me today? The tiger from the south and the wolf from the north, you put down the chopsticks and scold the mother......"
"Shut up!" Shen Yuli flicked his sleeves and almost slapped her face: "This prince asked you to kneel!" You still dare to talk nonsense here, don't you want to rebel? ”
Huanlin took two steps back and avoided his sleeves, looking at him like a monster.
Shen Yuli met her gaze with a cold expression: "Around the forest, in the past, in the deserted garden, this prince took you in because he was pitiful, and he never taught you the rules, but it doesn't mean that you can be no big or small, and do nonsense in the palace!" Are you wrong?! ”
"Wrongdoing?" Huan Lin was stunned, "What did I do wrong?" Haven't you woken up yet? Shen Yuli, this incident is obviously your fault! It's you who want to catch sparrows to eat for no reason, it's you who lose your temper with me for no reason, it's you who are going crazy alone! ”
This time, Shen Yuli didn't answer immediately.
Huan Lin thought that he was reflecting, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and if he was willing to admit his mistakes, he was not a pure bad person.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Shen Yuli suddenly looked back at the two eunuchs behind Shen Qin, and said in a deep voice: "You guys, help me hold this minion!" ”
"You" refers to the two eunuchs, but "this minion" refers to the forest.
Huan Lin was completely stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the two eunuchs had already rushed over, pressing her to the ground on the left and right.
She has never liked kneeling very much, so she had to kneel in front of Shen Yuli in an extremely embarrassed posture, as if she was going to be tried.
The little eunuch from before cowered in the grass by the side of the road, looking terrified.
Shen Yuli looked at Huan Lin expressionlessly, and his voice was so cold that it made people feel unfamiliar: "Don't say that this prince will punish you for no reason." Around the forest, you are talking nonsense outside, and sooner or later you will cause trouble! What was that you just talking about? You're scaring people in the name of me and my father! You are just a minion, who am I going to judge, and who my father wants to judge, how can you control it? Don't you know what to do! ”
Huan Lin was scolded by him, only to feel that his head was buzzing, he couldn't understand anything, he couldn't think about anything, and the whole person was completely stunned.
At this time, in order to behave in front of the masters, one of the eunuchs who was holding her next to him raised his hand without waiting for an order, gave her a solid slap, and then scolded: "Unseemly! The Fourth Highness is reluctant to teach you a lesson, our Highness can't see it, and we can't see it as slaves! ”
Shen Yuli's face sank.
Huan Lin was dazed by this slap, but there was still such a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that Shen Yuli would teach her a lesson to the eunuch who took matters into his own hands.
Unexpectedly, she completely thought about it.
Shen Yuli's ugly face was facing her, and his tone was a little colder than before: "It's just a minion, what's 'reluctant to learn'?" Hit me hard! ”
The eunuch couldn't wait for this, and answered with a sharp voice "yes", and the second slap beckoned to Huan Lin's face.
This time, Huanlin still couldn't dodge, half of her face was instantly hot, and she jumped up in pain.
The third slap, of course, missed.
Kicking away the two eunuchs around the forest, he ran a few steps backwards, stood in the middle of the road and pointed at Shen Yuli and scolded: "You wolf-hearted, dog-hearted, heartless, heartless!" What a prince, I think you are a madman, a fool, a bad calf! I'm going to ignore you anymore! ”
After scolding these words, she shook her hand fiercely and turned around and left, stepping on the ground and flying with fallen leaves.
Shen Yuli subconsciously chased two steps, hurriedly retracted his feet, and stood in place with a gloomy face.
He took two steps around the forest but stopped.
Shen Yuli was overjoyed, and was about to speak, but he saw Huan Lin staring at him with round eyes, and his face was angry: "I warn you, from now on, if you don't catch sparrows, if you let me know that you catch sparrows again, I ...... I'll let you know what it means to regret not being in the first place! ”
After letting go of the cruel words, she turned around again and walked away without looking back.
The two eunuchs beside Shen Qin were filled with indignation and rushed to chase after them.
Shen Yuli beckoned to stop them, and said in a deep voice: "That's it, if he wants to go, let's go." It's useless for the unruly slave to ask for it, and I'll go and ask the concubine to send me two good ones another day. ”
"That's what I said," Shen Qin frowned, "but a minion can't condone it like this!" Fourth brother, you are just too good-natured! ”
"No way," Shen Yuli's face was very ugly, "You also know my previous situation, no one has always ignored me, only he doesn't want to follow me to suffer." I was a little indulgent to him at that time, he was also a child, and it was inevitable to kick his nose and face after a long time, and I saw that I endured it in the past. ”
Shen Qin shook his head again and again: "That can't be connived like this!" Next ......"
"There's no next time!" Shen Yuli immediately interrupted him, "If there is a next time, I will kill that dog slave with my own hands!" ”
Shen Qin let out a long sigh of relief: "Fourth brother, it's good that you know it in your own heart, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to let it go." ”
"Can't let go of a fart!" Shen Yuli burst into a foul language, hatefully shaking his sleeves: "A good-for-nothing dog slave is just a good-for-nothing dog!" ”
After saying that, he looked back at the little eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Who are you in the palace?" ”
The little eunuch shrank and stammered: "Return, return to Your Highness, the slave is a rough envoy in the emperor's womb, and he has always been stupid and can't speak......
"Oh, good." Shen Yuli didn't listen to his chatter, interrupted irritably, and asked again: "Would you like to come to my palace to serve?" ”
The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head: "The slave is stupid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to serve His Royal Highness well." And...... And His Royal Highness likes the flowers and trees pruned by the minions, so ......"
So it's a clear refusal.
Shen Yuli didn't insist, he waved his hand very tolerantly when he heard this, and said gently: "You don't have to be nervous. Since the eldest brother is reluctant to let you go, of course I will not be strong. Go back. ”
The little eunuch instantly spread his hooves and ran out like a pig that had smashed open the door of the ring.
Shen Yuli stared at his back for a while, and suddenly smashed his fist on a tree next to him.
Shen Qin was very nervous, hurriedly rushed over and grabbed his hand, rubbed it distressedly, and shouted: "Fourth brother, what are you doing here!" How old are you...... I really can't do it! The minions in this palace are all broken-mouthed, let's control the heavens and the earth, can we still control the mouths of the minions? ”
"What are the minions talking about," Shen Yuli smiled bitterly, retracted his hand and covered it under his sleeve: "When it reaches the ears of my father, it becomes a big thing." You don't know the character of our father, I still want to live well. ”
Shen Qin sighed again when he heard this, grabbed his hand through his sleeve, and didn't answer for a long time.
He actually didn't quite understand what Shen Yuli was talking about.
At this time, Huanlin, who had already gone away, didn't understand it even more. The more she walked, the more she felt aggrieved, and the pain on both sides of her face seemed to be getting worse and worse, so anxious that she wanted to go back and beat the eunuch again.
No, it should be grabbed and beaten by Shen Yuli! What do eunuchs know? The soldiers ordered the grass to follow the wind, and the eunuch dared to beat her, not all because of Shen Yuli's orders!
Shen Yuli that bastard, he must be crazy!
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became. Walking all the way around the forest, he muttered all the way: "No wonder the big beauty said that she wanted to kill the surnamed Shen, and the surname Shen didn't have a good thing!" The emperor is clearly a madman who kills people for pleasure, the eldest prince is an megalomaniac, the second prince is a hypocrite, the third prince is a fox, and the fifth prince is a grass on the wall who sees the wind and steers the rudder...... The four princes are the worst, they pretend to be honest on the surface, but in fact, they have no heart, no liver, wolf heart, dog lungs, cross the river and tear down the bridge to kill people......"
She counted her fingers all the way, and the more she counted, the more she felt that the Shen family was really all bad guys, and that big beauty said that she was going to kill the surnamed Shen!
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of her neck, and the cold hairs around her body stood up.
This...... How does it feel?!
The poor little eunuch's feet were instantly firmly nailed to the ground.
I don't know how long it took, there was no other movement behind him, and Huan Lin felt that Han Mao seemed to have a tendency to fall down again, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly turned around-
And then he faced an extremely beautiful face.
