Chapter 453: The Imperial Concubine Bathing
For this Concubine Hui to take the initiative to ask for help, it must be a last resort.
Could it be that the eldest aunt is here?
If it was, it would be embarrassing, and she would have to ask for help even if she couldn't talk about it. So Xiao Rui walked over and whispered, "If you are not feeling well and need a clean white cloth, you just nod, it doesn't matter if you don't have to say it." ”
Yuan Yuan looked at Xiao Rui in surprise, when did he feel unwell, besides, what do you want to do in vain... As soon as the doubtful thought arose, she reacted, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly turned her head away, not daring to look at Xiao Rui.
I was even more secretly complaining in my heart, complaining about how Xiao Rui was such a person, he was open-mouthed, and such a hidden private matter was so directly hinted.
"No!" Yuan Yuan noticed that Xiao Rui was still staring at him, and gritted his teeth and shouted.
Xiao Rui nodded, it doesn't have to be natural, anyway, he reminded her, if she really made a fool of herself when the time came, then she wouldn't blame herself.
Saying that, when Xiao Rui was about to get up and leave, Yuan Yuan sighed, but still said his pleading: "That... I want to take a shower at night..."
The sound was like a mosquito flying by, if Xiao Rui hadn't listened carefully, he wouldn't have heard it clearly.
Only then did Xiao Rui understand that he had misunderstood.
Yuan Yuangui is the imperial concubine, she has always paid attention to hygiene, and bathed almost every day in the palace, but these days she has followed Xiao Ruifeng to eat and sleep in the open, and the feeling is very uncomfortable, which makes her sleep. But she also understands her own situation, so she doesn't dare to force it.
But now I finally came across a lake, and I finally couldn't help it.
"Take a bath? It's not that no, but what if it's your plot? If you take the opportunity to escape, you'll be in trouble. Xiao Rui smiled: "Unless I watch you wash!" ”
"Shameless!" Yuan Yuan scolded directly, then turned his head and glared at Xiao Rui, and asked, "You are the prince of Xia Kingdom, don't be so shameless, okay?" ”
"So what do you say?" Xiao Rui asked rhetorically.
Yuan Yuan pursed her lips, knowing that Xiao Rui would not allow herself to bathe freely, she thought for a while and said, "There are reeds by the lake, you stand outside the reeds and swear, and swear not to peek!" I'm always talking to prove that I'm not running away, okay? Besides, the lake is so big, even if I sneak into the lake and you send someone to block the lake, I will still be unable to escape and fall in embarrassment. ”
Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Are you sure I swear not to peek?" What would you believe in a man's words? ”
"Others don't believe it, but His Royal Highness King Xian will definitely believe it!" Yuan Yuan said solemnly.
Xiao Rui scoffed, this lady would compliment herself, but he really wasn't in the mood to think about that kind of thing, although this Concubine Hui was really tempting.
Subsequently, Zhang Liang of Xiao Rui's ward took Yuan Yuan to the lake, and chose a place with more lush reeds, Xiao Rui stood outside to guard, and Yuan Yuan said "Your Highness is troublesome" and walked in.
Xiao Rui quipped: "Concubine Hui, as the imperial concubine of Qi State, you can let me, the prince of Great Xia, bathe you in the wind, and you are the only one in the world." ”
Although Yuan Yuan was shy, she couldn't help but smile, she was about to undress, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiao Rui through the reeds.
"Yikes! Turn around, don't peek! Yuan Yuan held his collar and immediately squatted down and shouted.
Today, the moonlight is as big as a disc, and although the reeds are luxuriant, there will eventually be gaps.
Xiao Rui pursed his lips and said, "Okay!" I've turned around, you keep talking, let me know you're not running away. ”
Yuan Yuan got up to observe, and found that he really turned around, secretly relieved, and then hesitated again, let her speak, what could she say?
"Why don't I sing a song." Yuan Yuan asked.
Xiao Rui became interested and said with a smile: "Okay, I will also be the Emperor of Qi and listen to the singing voice of the Great Qi Imperial Princess!" ”
Yuan Yuan snorted and said, "Your Majesty has never heard of it, this time it is helpless." ”
"Yo, that's still the honor of this palace, there are three beautiful scenery today, fortunately." Xiao Rui said with a smile.
While undressing, Yuan Yuan asked curiously, "Which three beautiful places?" How did I not find out? ”
Xiao Rui said: "The bright moon is high, the stars are open, and this scene is also." Beauty bathing, although you can't see it, you can reverie, you have a different experience, and it is naturally two scenes. The imperial concubine sang, and the king enjoyed a feast that Emperor Qi had never heard of, and it was naturally three scenes! ”
Yuan Yuan was so angry that she really wanted to roll her eyes, what does it mean to be able to reverie without seeing it, as Prince Hehe, he actually said such Meng Lang's words, and he can't take off his clothes?
"Ugh..."
Sighing lightly, Yuan Yuan was also used to Xiao Rui's lip service.
So go ahead and undress and get into the lake to start bathing. The lake was very cold, but it was very comfortable, and she teased the lake water and sang slowly:
"Under the wind and clouds and the sunset,
The sword came west to look at the apricot blossoms.
The poor wine house asked the old woman, did you ever remember. The girl of the red makeup restaurant back then.
It's a bamboo horse and no guess, but Qingmei is not there.
As soon as I entered the rivers and lakes, I was urged by the years, and I returned to old age for half my life.
The old woman laughed about that:
The wine girl has married a good family, and her children and grandchildren are around her knees to raise her years.
This has been going for many years, and the pipa was like a canopy back then. ”
……
Yuan Yuan's singing voice is melodious, as if she is singing about the life of a swordsman. Xiao Rui, who has been a person in two lives, can feel the sadness even more, and half of his life may have passed in a blink of an eye.
As soon as the song fell, Yuan Yuan also took a bath, got dressed and walked out of the lake. Xiao Rui looked at her, under the moonlight, she was like a hibiscus out of the water, extremely charming.
Yuan Yuan lowered her head slightly, not wanting to look at him, because she was afraid of seeing his eyes, and always felt that his gaze was aggressive, as if she could see through herself.
Who knows, Xiao Rui actually took out a clean handkerchief from his arms and said with a smile: "Wipe your hair, the weather is still very cold now, if you can't wipe it clean, it is easy to get cold." ”
Yuan Yuan's heart warmed, and she sometimes had to admit that although Xiao Rui was very shameless, sometimes he cared about people, he was very considerate, and he didn't have the frame that a prince should have, and he cared about it sincerely, which was also something she rarely felt as an imperial concubine.
"Thank you." Yuan Yuan took the towel and wiped her wet hair.
After going back, Xiao Rui always felt that Zhang Liang and Li Yuanfang's eyes were wrong, and he wanted to say that nothing had happened, but it seemed that the explanation was pale. So let them look at it with ambiguous eyes.
After dinner, Xiao Rui listened to Zhang Liang report the news from the scouts.
Sure enough, Emperor Qi was furious, and had already ordered martial law in the southern prefectures and counties, and Miyun's army also stopped fighting and changed to a defensive camp, and set up layers of checkpoints to strictly guard all intersections, as long as Xiao Rui and them showed their figures, they would inevitably suffer unprecedented encirclement. Now it's not just the route to the west or the south, but if you want to go north or east, you can't go back.
Emperor Qi is riveted with anger, and he also wants to leave Xiao Rui and kill him!
Xiao Rui said: "Our biggest weakness now is that we don't have food and grass, and this weakness must be solved by ourselves. ”
Zhang Liang said: "The news from the scouts is that Pingquan City has been sealed down, and there are about 5,000 defenders, and they are also afraid of being attacked by the iron dragoons, so they completely block the city gate. The attack on Hiraizumi Castle was easily exposed. For now, the only way to get food and grass is to go through the nearby villages. ”
"That's the only way to do it!" Xiao Rui made up his mind.
Originally, I didn't want to rob the people of Qi to eat food, but there was no other way to do it now. And they only grab grain, and only take a part, they will not scrape the ground like the Yuan army, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil.
Now that you've made up your mind, let's divide the Dragoons into groups of 100 people, so that you can not only ensure mobility, but also better conceal, and then start looking for supplies in the villages near Hiraizumi.
After a day or two, the teams were restocked, enough for them to survive. Zhang Liang had another plan, and sent Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei to personally lead a hundred and ten iron dragon riders, take off their armor, and go to the north with a familiar car, attracting the attention of the Qi army and treating them as monkeys.
……
Ottotsu Kyoto.
Emperor Xia was appreciating the information sent back by the Qi Kingdom.
When he learned that Xiao Rui had attacked the legions outside Jinzhou City and captured Emperor Qi's concubine, even Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh: "The prince's plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle has completely detonated Emperor Qi's anger!" No wonder the gold suddenly withdrew the troops and hung up the war-free card! He is trying to encircle and suppress the prince, and he will not give up if he is not caught. ”
Hai Dafu on the side hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like a god, with 5,000 iron dragon cavalry to destroy more than 10,000 Yuan cavalry, and even caused the Qi army to suffer heavy casualties as many as 40,000 or 50,000. His Majesty's spy in the West Factory of Qi also said that now His Royal Highness the Prince's reputation in the imperial capital of Qi is unparalleled for a while, and it has become a boiling trend, and Emperor Qi is naturally angry. ”
The East Factory is responsible for the situation in the Xia Kingdom, how can there be no West Factory with the East Factory?
And the West Factory established by Emperor Xia is fully responsible for the intelligence of the enemy country, and is only responsible to His Majesty, so Xiao Rui only knows that there is this institution, but he doesn't know what the name is.
Emperor Xia said: "Immediately send the news to Zhan Shifu, Jia Xu and Guo Jia will build up their momentum!" The prince's action directly ignited the hearts of the army and the people, and the general trend of the Great Xia Kingdom came. In addition, the 800-mile express report informs the champion Hou to prepare for the attack! I believe he has been holding back for a long time! ”
"Slave understands!" Hai Dafu immediately left the palace in person and sent the information to the Zhan Mansion.
In the early morning of the next day, the Daxia Daily was published as scheduled.
And this time in the daily newspaper, the content of the front was like thunder, shocking everyone!
I saw a few big words in bold and black on the newspaper:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the Qi Kingdom, as if he had entered a no-man's land!"
In the content, it introduces in detail how the crown prince Xiao Rui entered the Qi State, annihilated the Qi army of more than 10,000 people at Yingkou, and how to annihilate the Yuan army in Jinzhou, and played the whole Qi country, attacked the Qi army camp head-on, punished countless enemies, and captured the imperial concubine of Qi State......
Half of the entire newspaper described the prince's feat, and after reading it, the people were fascinated, and then ignited the hearts of the people, and instantly became like a boiling trend.
The court civil and military also saw the newspaper, although they heard that the prince was not in Kyoto, but they also thought that His Majesty had arranged for him to do other things, and they couldn't imagine that the place they went to was the Qi country!
It's a risk!
But then, they completely understood the methods of His Majesty and the crown prince, although this kind of behavior was dangerous, but it ignited the hearts of the Great Xia army and civilians, and swept away the negative impact of the siege of the Three Kingdoms!
Looking at the discussion of the people now, looking at the excitement on his face, doesn't it explain the problem?
Great Xia was not afraid of any country, but was besieged by the enemy and three countries on both sides, and it was bound to be timid, but after this incident, there was no timidity, only heroism soaring to the sky!
In the next few days, relying on the strong impetus of the imperial court and the crazy operation of the post station, the news spread as quickly as possible.
On the side of Qi State, there was no trace of Xiao Rui and them, like a fish in the throat, unable to take it out or swallow.
Hou, the champion of the north of Yanjing, got the 800-mile express report, and after learning about the actions of the crown prince Xiao Rui, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
His Majesty has not only chosen a wise and wise heir to the throne, but also a prince who has the courage and domineering to sweep the world!
Next, it's time for him to make a move, hit the Qi army hard, and welcome the prince!
