24. Eavesdropping on the corner
Emperor Jing glanced at Wan Chongyi, Chu Meiren, and He Meiren with a heavy gaze and said, "Let's go, let's go and see Xiao Guiren and Pity Guiren first." Wan Chongyi patted Lady Jiang's hand and whispered, "Quickly get the Fifth Prince and the Holy Spirit Princess back." Then he hurriedly followed Emperor Jing with two beauties.
As soon as Emperor Jing instructed Su Kesa, he told Xiao Luzi to find someone: "Blocking the news, it is said to the outside world that he is looking for something." Xiao Luzi: "Master, do you just go to the river to fish or do you also look for it elsewhere?" Manager Su said with a dark look in his eyes: "Send more people to the river to continue fishing, and then arrange more people to find them near the Imperial Garden, and do it quietly, I don't believe that he can still run to the harem." "Yes!"
Just as Emperor Jing was about to go to see Xiao Guiren and them, Manager Su hurriedly followed, and Xiao Luzi, who was just about to go to find someone, came back and explained: "The female master will take the princes and princesses to Mengxue first." Shuhui also leaned over to Xia Han and asked, "Girl, is something wrong, why can't we go back." Xia Han also looked downcast, wondering why Xia Xing hadn't come back yet, and if something had happened.
Lady Jiang glanced at Shu Hui and patted her shoulder comfortingly: "It's okay, we will learn first, and leave everything to the emperor to decide." Then he told a few Mengxue palace maids that they must not say anything about today's affairs, and asked Xiao Chengzi, Bingning, and Lu Wan to quickly find their masters back, and then took the only two remaining students and maids to go back.
Until Mengxue, after staying for two quarters of an hour, he didn't see Bing Ning and Xiao Chengzi turning, Xia Han affirmed his guess, Xia Xing must have been involved in something again, at present, I can only wait, the Imperial Garden is too chaotic today, and I can't participate in it anymore. The best thing now is that she is with Mingqin, so no matter what happens, Mingqin is in front of her; The worst thing is Xia Xing himself, and he happens to be at the center of the incident. But it's nothing, after all, Xia Xing's identity is there, even if it is discovered, according to Emperor Jing's attitude, he will copy a few books at most.
It's been half a year since he came to China, and he has a little bit of clarity about Emperor Jing's approach, his ambition for Beiyan is not temporary, but wants to control Beiyan for a long time. Then it is undoubtedly the best to let the royal family of Beiyan submit to him and take the initiative to do things for him, because no matter who he sends to directly manage, it will cause a backlash from the people of Beiyan, and it is not a moment to suppress it, and if it is not done, the two countries will go to war, which he does not want to see at present.
Because in recent years, the main goal of Huaguo has been trying its best to suppress Xiliang, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, especially the young tigers that have not yet grown up, of course, they must be strangled in the cradle, and Xiliang, as the strongest of the three countries outside Huaguo, of course does not want to stay in second place all the time. Therefore, Beiyan, standing at the point of balance of contradictions between the two countries, is the object of the two parties, and we appear here, it is obvious that Huaguo has a slight advantage.
And Emperor Jing has always been arrogant, just look at his children, so it is obvious that he will not put down his body to win over, and will inevitably choose to control Beiyan and show his demeanor as a great country, so as to achieve the goal of completely despising Xiliang and giving this small country that challenges his authority a look. Therefore, as the bridge to contain Beiyan, we should be the safest, we can threaten our father and eldest brother, and we can influence the Beiyan court.
Such a useful chess piece, as long as it is not a vain attempt to backlash, then whatever you do will be treated preferentially, not to mention that Xia Xing has a title in his body, 'Holy Spirit Gu'an' has a special meaning for Beiyan, and this time it happens to be because of the stubbornness of the little girl, with Emperor Jing's identity positioning for us, I am afraid that Xia Xing will be happy when he causes trouble.
And the fate of the two of us was also planned in advance, one is a prince who has been instilled in etiquette, humility and no opinions, and the other is a lawless and uninformed princess who is used to it; A weak prince who asked for help from Huaguo even if he returned to Beiyan, and a princess who was rude and rude and adapted to extravagance and could only stay in Huaguo. And Xia Xing and I have been living according to Emperor Jingdi's expectations until we return to Beiyan safely.
Anyway, why haven't Xia Xing and Ming Qin come back yet? The two people who squatted under the table wanted to cry without tears, which had to start an hour ago, both of them skipped class, and then wasted half a day in the imperial garden to reach a consensus, and then went around the path for two quarters of an hour in order to hide from people, and finally arrived at the beehive Qu Gong. The two of them were concentrating on fighting crickets, and the other was busy eating honey and inquiring about the beehive, and they did not interfere with each other until more than half an hour ago.
The two of them saw that it was almost dark, and now they were leaving just in time to go back before Lady Jiang checked the paintings, but before the two of them could get out of the room, they were blocked inside. The door to the hive was suddenly kicked open, and a soaking wet man strode in with a soaking wet woman, and everyone was startled. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Where is Gonggong Qu?" "A little eunuch recognized the two.
stepped forward and asked what happened: "Gonggong Qu should be in the house, what are the instructions of the prince?" The small one is called Gonggong Qu. Jing Wang Ye kept walking in: "No need, send someone to Qiushuixuan to get clothes for Concubine Niangniang, and one to go to the lotus pond to inform Concubine Niangniang's maid to come over and tell them that they don't need to look for it." ”
Seeing that this way is coming, I must not be able to get out. Ming Qin leaned against the window and looked: "Oh no, it's Uncle Jingwang." Xia Xing: "Gonggong Qu quickly take them to another room, let's take the opportunity to leave." Gonggong Qu: "No, Your Highness, this is a beehive, just this is a place for reception, and the rest is where the palace people live, so it's not good to let Prince Jing go to the place where the next person is, what can I do?" While speaking, King Jing had already carried someone to the door, and Ming Qin pushed Gonggong Qu forward: "Stop me for a while." "Just pull Xia Xing to find a place to hide.
Qu Gong pounced in front of the door, and King Jing slammed the door, and the two almost bumped together. Gonggong Qu: "Oh, respect the prince, what's going on?" King Jing squinted: "Gonggong Qu, just now this king called you in the courtyard, why didn't you hide in the house?" Father-in-law Qu: "Oh, the prince is called the little one, look at how the slave's ears grow, he is buzzed by the swarm of bees all day long, and he didn't hear the voice of the prince, he really deserves to be beaten." ”
Gonggong Qu slapped his mouth as he spoke, and King Jing snorted: "Enough, I won't worry about you today, quickly prepare hot water and bedding." "Yes, Lord Lord." This Gonggong Qu is really trying his best to stop people, and the kung fu of a few words is stunned to let Jing Wang Ye enter the door, Jing Wang Ye will hide from wherever he wants to enter, and he will block it just right when he returns, and even Jing Wangye's sight to look into the house was stopped by his big head.
Poor Prince Jing was soaking wet, and he was still holding someone who had been blowing the wind outside for so long, and his temper immediately came up: "You get out of the way for this king." Gonggong Qu hurriedly flashed to the side, Jing Wang Ye came in, went straight to the inner room, put the concubine on the soft collapse, covered the quilt, Gonggong Qu came in to see if he didn't see the two little ancestors, this is how he patted his chest and breathed a sigh. King Jing was angry: "Gonggong Qu, you get this king in." ”
Gonggong Qu nodded and bowed: "Lord Wang, you command." King Jing glared at Tongling: "Take the words of this king as the wind in your ears?" Qu Gonggong said with sincere fear: "The slave should die, and the slave will go immediately." Xia Xing and Ming Qin didn't dare to squat under the table outside, one holding his own cricket, the other holding a plate of honey, the two looked at Jing Wangye's legs tremblingly, but fortunately, Jing Wangye had something in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the abnormality in the room, otherwise he would definitely be discovered.
If you want to say that this Gonggong Qu dares to stop the prince, isn't there a Hui Concubine Niangniang behind him, no matter how high the status of the prince is, he doesn't live in the palace. If Concubine Hui knew that the five princes had skipped class, she not only covered up but also helped cover and raise crickets, especially what Jing Wang Ye told, then the end would be miserable, this Hui Concubine plus the five princes and the Holy Spirit Princess beat Jing Wangye, okay, and this matter can still make the five princes owe personal favors, why not do it?
Gonggong Qu went out to get things, and the two people inside and outside were sitting on pins and needles, how embarrassing this scene was. The concubine hugged the quilt and moved and coughed, and King Jing stepped forward and asked, "What's the discomfort?" You're waiting, this king has already called someone to call your personal maid, and you can change into clothes from Qiushuixuan in a while. Xia Xing Mingqin heard the conversation inside, glanced at each other, and pricked up his ears with gossip on his face.
The concubine's voice was soft and weak: "Thank you Lord Wang, I'm fine, but it affects the Lord Wang." Jing Wang Ye said heroically: "It's okay, this king is strong and strong, and the weather is hot... Forehead... Just take a cold shower... Uh-a-oh! Jing Wang Ye touched his nose in embarrassment, that sneeze was really a failure. Concubine Wan said with concern: "The prince is okay, it's all my fault, if it weren't for my lord, how could I suffer this crime." ”

Jing Wang Ye touched his nose in embarrassment, that sneeze was really a failure. Concubine Wan said with concern: "The prince is okay, it's all my fault, if it weren't for my lord, how could I suffer this crime." ”
Saying that he was covered with the quilt and wept, Jing Wang Ye saw that the quilt shook and trembled, and immediately got up from the chair to the front of the couch, and wanted to stretch out his hand and felt that Yu Li was not in agreement, so he went back and walked over again, Ming Qin Xia Xing watched Jing Wang Ye back and forth from under the table, and twitched the corners of his mouth. Finally, I heard a cold and shivering voice change: "Concubine, don't be sad, this king can't hear women crying, this king doesn't get in the way, I don't blame you, this king is willing." ”
Concubine Yun pulled open a quilt foot, and looked at the prince with red eyes, sparkling. And Ming Qin, who heard Jing Wangye's comforting words, hugged the cricket jar and leaned forward, but was pulled back by Xia Xing, and the two had a silent exchange. Xia Xing raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to do?" Want to be discovered? Ming Qin glared, "I want to see which concubine who is lying down, who does not know how to be polite, dares to hook up with the prince, and go back to tell the concubine to clean her up." ’
