Chapter 21: A Hangover
Yesterday, Nuan Jin was drunk unconscious, and asked Cen Run to pour two bowls of sobering soup after sending him back to Qingyi Courtyard.
She rubbed the corners of her forehead and saw Tao Tao's eyes red and swollen on the edge of the bed, a little unclear: "What's wrong with your eyes?" What are you doing kneeling on the edge of my couch early in the morning? Wake up? ”
"Princess......" Tao Tao's nasal voice was extremely heavy, and he had not slept all night, and his eyes were red for a long time, "Why do you say such unfortunate things together?" When Chief Cen heard it, he was going to beat and scold the slave and maid again. ”
"Again?" Nuan Jin rubbed the soft wattle on the corner of his forehead and stopped, leaning over, "He beat you yesterday?" ”
Tao Tao tilted his head sideways and asked tentatively, "The princess doesn't remember anything?" ”
What do you mean by that? Did I beat you up yesterday? No, even if I had to be careful about the wine, I wouldn't be a bastard, would I? ”
"Poof-" Tao Tao couldn't help laughing, "The princess feels the most sorry for Tao Tao on weekdays, even if she beats the slave and maid with the strength of alcohol, the slave and maid will never complain about the master." ”
"Come on, I already have a headache, and I'm even more confused when you go around early in the morning."
Tao Tao didn't mention anything about last night, and got up to put on a coat for Nuan Jin: "It's not early in the morning, it's almost noon this time, you haven't eaten anything since last night, and if you don't eat anything this time, you don't have to be careful about starving." ”
Nuan Jin nodded, and Tao Tao served her to wash: "The father and the queen mother didn't call anyone to look for me, right?" I didn't go to greet them at this hour, so that they were worried. ”
"Don't worry, our chief manager sent you back yesterday, and the chief manager will always take care of it for you."
"Well, wait!" Nuan Jin's face turned pale suddenly, and scattered memory fragments suddenly flashed in front of him.
Last night, I vaguely remembered that I was drunk, Cen Run sent her back to Qingyi Courtyard, what did she say to him on the way? Nuan Jin focused on racking his brains this time, thinking about breaking the sky, but he just remembered that he was drunk and talked nonsense, and he told Cen Run about that dream.
Then, there seemed to be a warm voice in his head, low and soft, like an April spring breeze, with the fragrance of pear blossoms, sweeping his limbs.
She remembered that the man said, "If this is the case, it will make Cen Run die without regrets......
"Princess? Why are your cheeks so crimson? Tao Tao watched in horror on the side, watching their master's face turn from white to red, I don't know if he was thinking about spring or getting hot.
Nuan Jin suddenly screamed, reflexively threw herself on the couch, her voice was muffled in the futon, and it didn't sound really bright: "Tao Tao, pack up the baggage, let's go back to the imperial city!" ”
Later, Nuan Jin did not go back to the imperial city, and after having dinner that day, he was called by the emperor to reprimand. She knelt in the study of Yanan Courtyard for half an hour, and she didn't see his father stop.
The afternoon was sultry, and although there was a wind through the hall, it was also a little hot. Nuan Jin knelt so hard that his knees hurt his heart, and he had already begun to stagger.
"What? Didn't I teach you a lesson? So that you are so impatient to hear? ”
Nuan Jin's body was crooked, and he simply knelt on the green jade brick, rubbing his knees, and complained: "The ears of the sons and daughters of the father's great principles are going to be calloused, and the left and right are just drinking too much, and the father and the emperor are going to teach the sons and daughters a lesson for so long." After speaking, he pouted, "It must be Xuanyue who is back, and my father has a princess on the tip of my heart. ”
The emperor couldn't help but pick the corners of his lips, turned his head to look at Cen Run, and pointed at Nuan Jin with his fingers: "Have you seen her sex?" This is my good princess, I just said a few words to her, and she will say ten words to me. ”
At the right time, Cen Run was pouring tea for the emperor, and listening to the emperor's tone was not lifeless, then he smiled and said: "Why does the emperor want to be angry with the princess?" If you want the slave to say, although the princess is occasionally stubborn, she is also the most valuable, look at the other princesses in our palace, which one is not dignified and demure, Princess Nuanjin is the only one. ”
When Cen Run said these words, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and he couldn't see the slightest twist at all, Nuan Jin pursed his lips: "Is Chief Cen praising me or belittling me?" In the end, it is the people around my father, who don't use dirty words to hurt people. ”
"Your Majesty, the slave can be wronged, I am thinking of a way to say good things for the princess, you see, the princess is so indiscriminate."
Their words made the emperor laugh, and the only bit of anger was dispelled and disappeared: "In the end, you grew up in one place, others can't compare to your affection, you made a mistake, and I want the chief manager to help you play the side drum, your face is bigger." ”
Nuan Jin can see the height of his eyebrows, this time he saw the emperor's dragon face and joy, and people were bolder, so he simply sat on the ground directly, without the majesty of a princess at all: "This is the chief manager who feels sorry for Nuan Jin, knowing that his father and emperor don't always have to preach to his son, if no one is distressed, then the minister is the real pitiful child." ”
"Bastard." The emperor pretended to be angry, "It's getting more and more unruly, just a stubborn character like you, I don't know which prince and grandson nobleman will marry you in the future!" If it weren't for me being the lord of this Nanchen country, I'm afraid that no matter which family you marry into, you will be divorced. ”
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, as soon as Nuan Jin heard the emperor mention this stubble, he thought of the loss of honor after being drunk last night, and immediately blushed his cheeks, and glanced at Cen Run with a pair of beautiful eyes timidly.
The latter still stood beside the emperor in an orderly manner, silently, and even that smile did not change in the slightest.
Nuan Jin wondered in her heart, could it be that she was just disturbed by herself, or did she not mention the dream at all last night?
"What did my father say? Nuan Jin is still young, and it is too early to talk about marriage, not to mention that Nuan Jin doesn't want to get married, so he wants to be by his father's side for the rest of his life. ”
The emperor was quite heart-warming when he heard this, nodded his head, and his eyebrows softened: "I said, how can there be a reason why your daughter's family has never married, your mother has already married me when she is your age." ”
Nuan Jin obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so he stood up and dusted off his clothes: "Father is going to preach to his son again, his son drank wine yesterday, and his head still hurts, so he took a leave of absence with his father and allowed his son to go back to Qingyi Courtyard to think about it?" ”
The emperor shook his head without a clue, and he really couldn't do anything about this pearl in his palm: "That's it, you can't listen to anything about your virtue, Cen Run send the princess back." ”
Nuan Jin didn't know if she was a thief, as long as someone called out this name, her heart would jump indiscriminately, glanced at Cen Run, and sure enough, she saw him walking over with his head bowed.
"Princess, the slave will send you to Qingyi Courtyard."
Nuan Jin didn't dare to show it too obviously, and still knelt down to the emperor and retreated.
After the time passed, the sun finally went west, and the green trees in the Bihua Palace were shaded, and it was most comfortable to walk in the palace at this hour.
She and Cen Run walked one after the other, without saying anything, occasionally two or three groups of concubines hanging out, and when they saw Nuan Jin, they were all simple polite.
Nuan Jin sent them away, and walked a tree-lined path again, and when he saw that there was really no one around, he dared to slow down.
Unexpectedly, her pace had just slowed down, and the person behind her, like her, had also slowed down.
"That ......" Nuan Jin wanted to speak and stopped, and finally stopped under a begonia tree.
"The minions are here." Cen Run stood beside Nuan Jin, his demeanor was modest, and he still lowered his eyebrows, making it impossible to see his expression.
"Last Night......
Speaking of this, Cen Runcai raised his head slightly, his phoenix eyes were as clear as water, and there was no trace of impurities: "What does the princess want to say?" ”
Nuan Jin blushed slightly, and looked up as if he didn't care: "This begonia tree grows really well." ”
Cen Run couldn't help but laugh: "Well, it's really good." ”
She was a little annoyed, with Cen Run's intelligence, it was impossible not to know what she wanted to ask, but he wanted to play tricks on himself like this, but she couldn't think of a way to target him.
"Last night...... That ......"
Cen Run tilted his head slightly, pretending to be unclear: "What happened last night?" ”
"You man!" Nuan Jin was a little anxious, "If you pretend to be confused like this again, I'm really angry." ”
"Huh." Cen Run couldn't help but smile: "This is annoying?" It's not a slave, the slave makes amends to you, what the princess wants to ask, you might as well say it directly, as long as the slave knows, you must know everything. ”
Nuan Jin let out a sigh, and he really didn't bother to go around in circles with him, so he simply broke the jar and broke it: "You also know that I drank too much yesterday." ”
Cen Run nodded and looked at her very seriously.
Perhaps his attitude was quite serious, Nuan Jin continued with satisfaction: "My brain is like a paste now, I really can't remember last night's incident, just remember that the first ghost hidden little prince came, and after a few words of greeting with me, you appeared?" ”
Cen Run answered "yes".
"You sent me back after that?"
Cen Run answered again.
"Uh......" Nuan Jin began to spit again, "I...... What did I say to you? ”
"The princess said a lot, which ones do you mean?"
Nuan Jin was a little anxious: "It's just some nonsense." ”
"The princess was drunk last night and said a lot, and the slave really doesn't know which sentence you are referring to."
"You!" Nuan Jin understands that he has a strange nature, and on the surface he looks gentler than anyone else, but in fact he is the most awkward.
Today, she wanted to ask why, Nuan Jin gave up completely, and turned around impatiently: "That's it!" You just remember, yesterday the princess drank too much, all the words she said were wine, it should not be true, if you didn't say anything, it would be good, but if you said something that shouldn't be said, you shouldn't have heard it. ”
The warm breeze swept through the branches and leaves of the begonia trees, and with a slight tremble, pink petals sprinkled down and fell on the warm brocade hair, inadvertently becoming the most beautiful hair ornament.
His heart jumped wildly again, with a little pain in the slight itch, the strangeness almost crushed Cen Run, he didn't even have time to think, he just wanted to call the footsteps of the person leaving: "The princess once said that she would marry me in a dream." ”
