Volume 1: The Palace's Fortune Chapter 41: I will give you a satisfactory explanation
Shen Xie's refusal to give in was also something Lu Ziyue hadn't expected, she thought that Shen Xie would be a little gentle with her because of the child in her belly, but it turned out that everything was bad for her.
She wanted to be angry, but her bulging abdomen told her to calm down a little bit anyway, so she slightly supported the concave part of the chair with her hand, and borrowed her strength to make her body half-prop up: "Is there no room for negotiation at all?" ”
"No, if there is anything else, I can still promise you, but this matter, Ah Yue, you have to understand that Ah Pei was your maid of marriage when she came, and since then she is no longer a native of Dayue, and now she wants to return to China is not in line with the etiquette system, and I have made an exception."
After Shen Xie finished speaking, he touched her head, and his tone was doting, with a little coaxing: "Ah Yue, you can think about this matter for me, if there is anything to do in the future, I will definitely not make you embarrassed." ”
He had already said this, and it proved that there was no room for turning the matter around.
Even if Lu Ziyue had more anger and dissatisfaction in her heart, she could only nod at this time, she bit her lip, her white teeth grinded the fine flesh on the lip flap, and the blood with a fishy smell seeped out from under the skin of her lips, she tasted a little, and then said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I hope that the prince can let her go back in style, since the prince has so many ways to save Ah Pei, I also hope that the prince will let Ah Pei be decent and decent before entering the soil no matter what, and there is no damage to his appearance." ”
What she said was all trivial, and Shen Xie naturally had no opinion, not to mention that after these things were explained, they had nothing to do with him.
He agreed: "You can rest assured about these things." ”
"That being the case, I still hope you can agree to the matter of going to Lingshan, and nothing else, I have been staying in the house these days and only feel very bored, and I want to go out for a walk on weekdays, if you are really good for me, let me go and play, there are so many ladies around me, I guess nothing will happen."
Lu Ziyue insisted so much, Shen Xie would not make her sad again and again, he thought for a while before saying: "Since you really want to go, then I will send some more people to protect you, the preparations for the enthronement ceremony are almost over, you go to Lingshan to play for two more days, and when you come back, you can prepare to be my queen beautifully." ”
It was getting darker and darker, and Mu Hua carried a lantern to help Lu Ziyue walk back to the courtyard.
She couldn't see the look on Lu Ziyue's face clearly, but she also felt that she was now exuding a sad and lonely smell.
Mu Hua didn't understand why Lu Ziyue was like this every time she came out of the Shen Courtyard, she had hardly seen this master come out of it with a smile.
She moved her mouth to ask, but she didn't know how to ask, so she could only swallow all her doubts into her stomach.
Although Lu Ziyue felt uncomfortable, she also noticed that Mu Hua's mood was a little strange, and she turned her head slightly to look at her: "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Hua was stunned for a moment when he heard her ask, and then said, "It's nothing." ”
Mu Hua smiled and shook his head.
As soon as she came out like this, Lu Ziyue couldn't hurt herself even if she wanted to, she sighed: "Today, the palace asked the prince for grace, and tomorrow we will go to Lingshan to escape the summer, you can pack up your things when you go back, there is no need to bring too much left and right, Lingshan has everything on the side, but there is a little, you have to bring more money to reward the slaves, if nothing else, this time we will go with the wife of the Shangguan general's family and Princess Anyang." ”
As soon as Mu Hua heard these two people, she knew what was at stake, and she nodded: "Although the princess can rest assured, the slave and maid will take care of everything." ”
"Hmm." Lu Ziyue nodded, and the two of them continued to walk forward, perhaps because the courtyard at night was not so stuffy, Lu Ziyue felt much more relaxed, and she didn't need Mu Hua's support.
She walked a few steps forward, and she looked at the most enthusiastic moon flower blooming in front of her, and stretched out her hand to pick one.
Holding the flower branch in your hand, the faint fragrance of the moon season flowers emanates from the stamen.
Mu Hua also followed at this moment, she looked at Lu Ziyue's rare relaxation, and smiled with her: "This month, the flowers bloom every month, every time they bloom, they are extremely brilliant, and the fragrance of the flowers is also long and pleasant, but the princess likes Muxi on weekdays, why did she stop at her today?" ”
"There's no particular reason for that." Lu Ziyue put the hairpin of the moon season on the bun, "Although the wooden hairpin is beautiful, it has never been a flower for people to appreciate on the hairpin, the wooden flower is worthy of being treated well by others, the moon season is different, it opens every year, although it can give people a deep impression and make everyone remember, but it is always not elegant." ”
After she finished the hairpin, she walked forward again, and it took a long time for Mu Hua to catch up with her and follow her.
At this time, Kyoto Street
It was curfew, and there was no one on the street except for a rickety carriage.
The soldiers patrolled the streets in the order of their shifts, and they didn't take this job seriously, because Shen Guo's laws have always been strict, and one of them is that if you walk around casually during the curfew, you will be imprisoned and sentenced.
It's just that although it didn't take it seriously, it was still a serious inspection, but tonight was a little different from before.
The carriage staggered towards them, and the soldiers' nerves tensed immediately, and they tightened their weapons and slowly approached the carriage, as if they were ready to attack at any moment.
The coachman of the carriage was an ordinary person, he didn't notice the undercurrent surging in the dark, Xiao Qi and Douzi didn't know martial arts, and the two of them were staying in the carriage at this time gossiping.
Douzi said while beating Xiao Qi's back: "I didn't expect Mrs. Shangguan to like Miss you so much, Douzi looked at her and smiled sincerely when she talked to Miss, this Shangguan family is also a representative of the military family, if you can get in touch with them, Miss Yu, you will also have a great help in marrying in the future." ”
"Although this is the case, I can see that Mrs. Shangguan is really good for me, and I don't want to use her very much, besides, if you have a relationship with the military now, it will attract the suspicion of the prince, but it will backfire, it is better to wait for the prince to ascend the throne and then choose well, do you say?" Xiao Qi smiled and leaned into Douzi's arms, "I'm going to Lingshan tomorrow, are you happy?" ”
"Of course I'm happy, Douzi has long wanted to go out and have fun, but he has never had the opportunity, and this time I have to thank the princess, but I have to go to Lingshan for such a big thing, the princess can tell the prince?"
Beanzi was a little confused.
Xiao Qi couldn't help laughing out loud when she looked at her stunned and confused expression, and she pressed her index finger against the tip of her nose: "You can rest assured about this matter, the princess said that she would personally go to the prince to talk about Lingshan, so ah, this is a good thing that is nine times out of ten." ”
As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, the carriage shook violently, and then stopped as if she was being dragged by something, her face became serious for a moment, and there was a sound of the coachman begging for mercy from outside the carriage, as well as the sound of cloth rubbing on the hemp rope tied to the clothes.
A man's majestic voice outside: "Who is the person inside, you know it's curfew time." ”
Douzi was a little frightened by this sudden change, her body was half-shrunk behind Xiao Qi, but she was afraid that Xiao Qi would be hurt, so she mustered up the courage to move her body forward.
Then as soon as the man's voice fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Xiao Qi saw two full rows of soldiers standing outside the carriage, led by a handsome but expressionless man.
She didn't know the man, but she could guess the man's identity by looking at his clothes and the formation of the two rows of soldiers.
She didn't panic, but instead reached out and patted Douzi's back, looked at the man with a detached smile on her face and said, "If An Guogong knew that his eldest son dared to stop the carriage of the Regent's Palace, would he fall off the sickbed in anger?" ”
After she finished speaking, she found that the man's face changed, but Xiao Qi still didn't have any fear, she jumped out of the carriage, let Douzi stay inside, and lowered the curtain, she was only two or three steps away from the man at the moment.
Xiao Qi's tone was arrogant: "Murong Xiaoqi has seen An Guogong's eldest son, An Ran's son. ”
"Murong Xiaoqi?" An Ran sneered, "You're just a female official next to the regent, with a low status, what qualifications do you have to talk to this prince here?" What's more, you went out in a carriage during the curfew today, which is already a violation of the law, and this prince has the right to take you to the prison of Dali Temple to be tried, to see if you, a little female official, are carrying the secret information of the regent palace and want to betray the prince. ”
The man is certainly handsome, but what he says is inevitably too boring, but Xiao Qi is very willing to mediate with him, after all, there are many smart people around, and it is indeed interesting to see a stupid person occasionally.
Of course, she didn't mind scaring him a bit.
After all, if An Guogong is here, she will have to give some face, which is inevitable, but who is standing now, just a prince of An Guogong who has no real power in his hands and is still rolling in the barracks?
In this way, she took a few steps forward and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince just said that he would arrest Xiao Qi and go to the prison of Dali Temple for examination, but His Royal Highness the Prince of the World can understand that who is being ordered to review the prison of Dali Temple today, to put it bluntly, the current Dali Temple is temporarily in charge of Xiao Qi. ”
Speaking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face: "As for the curfew time you said, Xiao Qi does have to abide by it, but when I went out today, it was on the order of the princess, if His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, you can go back to the regent palace with Xiao Qi, and at that time, the princess will give you an explanation for Xiao Qi." ”
