Chapter 62: The Eve of the Spring Hunt
In the afternoon of this day, Ye Xi was admiring the flowers in the garden of her dormitory, sitting in the Chengrui Pavilion, surrounded by quiet, and Yuxiu stood behind her in a regular manner.
In fact, Ye Xi told her to let her sit, but she didn't do it, so she didn't force her.
On the gravel path in front of the pavilion, a girl dressed in lotus pink appeared, holding a round pampas fan with lotus flowers painted on it. The girl has a round little face, with a pair of curved moon eyebrows on her face, a pair of big almond eyes under the eyebrows, a small nose, and pale pink pink lips, which looks quite pleasing.
I saw her slowly walking to the pavilion, looking at Ye Xi, not saluting, and her eyes were a little hostile to her.
The girl in front of her kept staring at her, and there was a moment of amazement in her eyes, followed by jealousy.
She thought indignantly in her heart, why could she get the emperor's cousin's sincerity, she liked the emperor's cousin so much, but he never put himself in his heart, he just regarded himself as a sister, she couldn't get angry when she thought of this.
But she just had a charming and charming face, and she was nothing but this face, she thought with envy in her heart.
Ye Xi was so amused in his heart, who did he provoke? Why did she just come to Xidi Country for a few days, and she was hated by others.
Ye Xi lukewarmly asked Yuxiu, who was standing behind, "Yuxiu, who is this girl?" How old is it? ”
Yuxiu saluted respectfully, "Slave maid to meet Miss Jimo!" When Ye Xi heard her surname, she reacted too much, raised her glass to drink tea, and a mouthful of tea spurted out of her mouth, speechless in her heart, lonely, am I still empty?
Then she replied to Ye Xi's words, "Niangniang, Miss Jimo is His Majesty's cousin, her full name is Jimo Ling, and she just passed Ji Mo this year. ”
Ye Xi nodded clearly, of course she understood that those two words were not the two words she thought, but this surname was too strange.
Yuxiu looked at Jimo Ling, and reminded gently, "Miss Jimo, when you see the queen's mother, please pay palace salutes!" ”
Yuxiu is also for her good, if Your Majesty knows that someone is disrespectful to the queen's mother, she is sure that with His Majesty's attitude towards the mother, that person will definitely not have good fruit to eat.
Jimo's expression was full of reluctance, "Why? Miss Ben didn't salute when she saw the emperor's cousin, so why should she salute a foreign princess! ”
When Ye Xi heard this, he muttered in his heart, it seems that he has met a girl who doesn't know the height of the sky.
Ye Xi didn't bother to do it, "Yuxiu, teach the palace a good lesson about Miss Jimo's palace rules, so as not to lose my sense of proportion in front of Your Majesty!" A certain woman said nonchalantly.
Yuxiu whispered from the bottom of her heart, Niangniang, you still know this! With your usual attitude towards the emperor, I think you should have taught you a long time ago. She didn't dare to say this, she only dared to say a few words in her heart.
Yuxiu looked at the other palace maids in the pavilion, "Come on, hold Miss Jimo and let her kneel." ”
Then, the maidservant brought by Ji Mo Ling was caught, and Ji Mo Ling was pressed down and knelt on the ground.
Yuxiu's stern voice moved out of the palace rules, "According to the palace rules, if you see the queen's mother who does not salute, hold the precept and slap your hands twenty, punish you for kneeling for one hour, and copy the palace rules one hundred times; Those who speak in an irreverent tone will be slapped ten times, and go home to copy the female ring a hundred times to see the after-effects! ”
After Ye Xi listened, his face was as indifferent as water, "Then follow the rules of the palace!" ”
After Ye Xi finished speaking, Mo Ling didn't want to believe it, she shouted, "No, I am the cousin of the emperor's cousin, and you are not qualified to punish Miss Ben." A certain woman looked at her as if she was dead and unrepentant, and her eyes caught a glimpse of Zuoqiu Xuhe who was walking towards her, and she sneered in her heart, Okay, I don't have to be that bad guy, someone will do it.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe heard Ji Moling's disrespectful words, and his eyes were cold, "Ji Mo Ling, disrespectful to the queen, and dare to be so presumptuous."
Since you said that the queen is not qualified to punish you, what about me? I'm here to punish, you should have nothing to say! ”
Zuo Qiu Xuhe glanced at Father-in-law An, "Father-in-law An, drag me down, slap me with twenty palms, beat thirty boards, if you dare to commit it again, you will be directly put into prison and executed!" His cold and ruthless words were like a basin of ice water poured onto Ji Moling's body from head to toe, cold to the bone.
Ye Xi didn't speak, she didn't plead, she just watched, as if this was a good show for her.
Ye Xi stood up and saluted Zuo Qiu Xuhe, "I'm tired, go back and rest first." She finished indifferently, and without waiting for him to disagree, she took the lead in leaving.
Yuxiu and the others then saluted and followed.
Ji Mo Ling's jealous eyes stared at Ye Xi's figure, as if she wanted to eat the other party alive.
Half a month later, it was time for the annual spring hunting competition in the western Ogi country. At that time, other affiliated small countries will come to compete.
As for the feudal kings of the various regions, unlike the other two countries, they only had the title of vassal king, but they did not have actual fiefdoms, and they all lived in the capital of the Western Ogi Province, that is, Shojo. When the ancestors of the Western Ogi Kingdom founded the Western Ogi Kingdom, they were afraid that their brothers and nephews would accumulate troops in the fiefdom and rebel, so they ordered that all the royal sons and daughters should leave the title of the vassal king, but there was no actual fief, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and all the feudal kings who were given the title had to stay in the capital. After so many years, today's situation of no feud has been formed.
On the day of the spring hunt, the weather was clear and cloudless, the clear blue sky was like a blue ink painting, and occasionally a few small birds flew by in the air, singing happily.
Ye Xi and Zuo Qiu Xuhe sat in the carriage and came to the hunting ground with a hug in front and back.
The location of this spring hunt is Wufeng Mountain, a hundred miles outside the city. There are five steep and high peaks in this area, all of which are called Five Peaks. There are a lot of wild animals in Wufeng Mountain, all the royal family will classify it as a royal hunting ground, and when hunting every year, the people are not allowed to enter and exit at will, otherwise they will be decided.
There is a garrison at the foot of Wufeng Mountain, and there are hundreds of people left at the foot of the mountain, and those are the guards who take care of Wufeng Mountain. Not far from the bottom of the mountain, there are several small villages, and those people know that this place is a royal hunting ground, and no one dares to go to Wufeng Mountain. For if you go in, you must cross the road which is blocked by the defenders, or you will not be able to enter.
Ye Xi sat in the carriage, pulled the curtain, saw the five peaks of the towering cliffs of Wufeng Mountain, and muttered in a low voice, "It is really a miracle of nature!" She was amazed.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe saw that she was interested in the five peaks, and said softly, "There is another legend of these five peaks?" ”
Ye Xi looked at him and asked, "What legend?" Her face was full of interest.
Zuo Qiu Xu was kind to his words, "These five peaks are said to have been incarnated by five immortals.
Legend has it that many, many years ago, this Wufeng Mountain was still a boundless river, and there was a dragon in the river, which was a disaster to the world.
At this time, the Jade Emperor, who lived in the Heavenly Court, knew about this and sent five immortals to the Nether Realm to suppress Jiaolong.
These five immortals are the mountain god who rules the mountains and rivers, the water god of the water world, the flower god of the flower world, the Ala god of the earth world, and the music god of music.
The five of them united and fought with Jiaolong for five days and five nights, and in the end, the five of them sacrificed their original gods to suppress Jiaolong.
Because the river did not have the inhabitation of the dragon, the river gradually dried up, and various plants and trees gradually grew on the dry land, and the five immortals who suppressed it, the original gods they sacrificed gradually transformed into towering giant peaks, forming today's Wufeng Mountain. ”
After listening to the story, Ye Xi commented pertinently, "The story is good, but these are just made up by later generations in order to show the mystery of Wufeng Mountain!" This time, she seemed to understand why the people of the Western Empire Kingdom worshipped the god Allah in the realm as a god.
As night gradually approached, the royal team also reached the halfway point of Wufeng Mountain, and they found a flat land with water, and set up tents.
Ye Xi was in the largest tent at the moment, this tent belonged to the emperor, and there was another tent next to it, which belonged to her.
The two tents were surrounded by standing guards who rotated shifts for two hours, day and night.
Ye Xi and Zuo Qiu Xuhe finished dinner together, and stood outside the tent by themselves to watch the moon in the sky.
Ye Xi looked at the soldiers who were around the fire, laughing and laughing, and her smile was full of boldness, which made her infected.
Ye Xi just watched, but didn't bother, after all, as soon as he appeared, their joy was disturbed.
Ye Xi walked forward, and Yuxiu asked, "Niangniang, where are you going?" ”
Ye Xi replied lightly, "Medicine account!" ”
Yuxiu followed her and came to the medicine tent.
At this moment, a soldier rushed towards Xiao Qifeng's tent, only to hear him kneel down and reply anxiously, "General, it's not good, some soldiers have been bitten by snakes, and I ask the general to send someone to rescue them." ”
Ye Xi came to the big tent and heard their conversation, "I can save them, where are they?" She had a serious expression.
When everyone saw that it was the queen, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "The ministers (the last general) and others will meet the queen's mother, and the mother is a thousand years old!" ”
Ye Xi raised his hand, "Get up!" ”
"Okay, don't be stunned, take me to see."
Xiao Jifeng looked at the little soldier, "Let's go!" Take General Ben and the Queen Mother to see it! Of course, Xiao Jifeng believed in her medical skills, so he didn't hesitate.
So the soldier took them to the tent where the snake bitten men lived.
Ye Xi ordered Yuxiu to get her medicine box in advance, and when she came in at this moment, she saw three people lying on the bed, their lips were blue and black, their bodies were stunned, their eyes were closed, and they were lifeless.
Ye Xi gave the three of them to take the pulse in turn, pricked their fingers, and each dropped a drop of blood into the three clay bowls.
Then, open your own medicine box, drop it like a test agent, and see the blood and toxin separated. She dipped a little in a thin piece of wood, picked it up and sniffed it.
When everyone saw that the queen mother did not treat the patient, but then made up something they couldn't understand, some people questioned, "Niangniang, don't delay, treat them quickly!" ”
Ye Xi didn't speak, Xiao Jifeng stared at the bold man coldly, "Shut up, the queen has her own decision!" ”
Ye Xi looked at Xiao Fengfeng, "You are General Xiao!" She asked, deliberately feigning unfamiliarity.
Xiao Fengfeng replied, "Yes, the last general is Xiao Fengfeng!" ”
Ye Xi said, "General, I have already found out, the poison in your soldiers is the poison of the silver krait, the poison is less than an hour, it is very easy to treat, just take an antivenom serum!" ”
As she spoke, she took out a small needle, took out three antivenom serums from her medicine box, sucked them in, and gave them a shot. In modern times, he could use a syringe by himself, but this is ancient times, this kind of instrument is not easy to make, and she uses it many times, but it will be sterilized before each use.
Modern needles use hoses, but in ancient times, there was no such technology, so they had to use wooden rods to polish them into hollows to make this kind of needles, and as for the needles, they were made of metallic silver.
Ye Xi took out a bottle of medicine, "When they wake up, give each of them one pill." ”
Xiao Jifeng took the medicine bottle, and then Ye Xi said, "They should have a fever after a while, and when the fever subsides, people should also wake up." ”
After she finished speaking, she yawned, "I'm sleepy, so I'll go back first." ”
Everyone looked at such an approachable queen mother, and the fear in their hearts was a little less.
Ye Xi walked to the tent door, and suddenly seemed to remember something? "General Xiao, you'd better check it, this silver snake, haven't I heard of this thing in Wufeng Mountain?"
This reminder made everyone wake up like a dream, yes! The silver krait, this thing has never been seen in Wufeng Mountain, how could they be poisoned like this?
The little soldier who was suspicious of Ye Xi just now was also shocked in his heart when he heard this.
Soon after, the guards saw that the three of them had a high fever as the queen said, and after the high fever, they slowly woke up, and the guards gave them the medicine according to their words.
Just listen to the centurion who was in charge of them and said, "You can live thanks to the virtuous queen mother of today, who saved you." So as soon as this matter spread ten, Ye Xi became the virtuous queen in their mouths, saying that she loved soldiers like a son and was the best queen in the world.
Ye Xi didn't expect that his small move would have such an effect on people's hearts. Early the next morning, when Yuxiu told her about it, she just laughed it off.
