Chapter Seventy-Six: Ten Pounds of Feet
Chapter Seventy-Six: Ten Pounds of Feet
Heavy snow fell from the sky, freezing not only the earth, but also people's hearts.
Liu Che looked around, only Yun Zhe and Lan Tian were lively, watching Yun Zhe dragging a series of small cars in the snow, and Lan Tian sitting on the small car broke out into happy laughter from time to time, Liu Che didn't understand why they were so happy.
Thinking of this, he was stunned.
shouted "drive back to the palace", and hurriedly left the Changmen Palace and went straight to Chang'an along the snow road.
The world is unhappy......
These days, Liu Che rarely sees smiling faces, even Gillian and Wei don't have the laughter they used to have, and as for Mrs. Li, she locked herself in a dark room and didn't see anyone......
Emotions are a difficult thing to explain, but they can be contagious.
Sui Yue was very unlucky today, because the rain urn was filled with water, it was finally frozen and cracked, and the water inside flowed to the ground.
This is his negligence, when the weather is cold, he should not fill the rain urn with too much water, but also to prevent the water inside from freezing.
Now, he's in big trouble.
As a palace slave, even if he used to have a prominent position, now, when his job is wrong, no one will tolerate him.
Although there are not many rain urns that have been frozen and cracked, he can afford to buy them completely, but today, there must be a rain urn under the eaves, and there must be water in the rain urn.
In the cold weather, the water that flowed out quickly froze, and Sui Yue was cleaning up the ice alone, and after a while, he was covered in mud.
In the morning, Sui Yue was struggling with muddy water, and at noon, he hurriedly ate a piece of dry cake and continued to work.
When he stepped into a water socket, the ice on the water socket burst instantly, and his right foot became completely covered in muddy water.
Freezing ......
"Your Majesty......"
Sui Yue's lips trembled violently, tears kept welling up in his eyes, and the more he wiped it, the more he wiped it, he even forgot to bow to the emperor.
"I'm just walking around."
Liu Che felt very uncomfortable, he thought that even if Sui Yue was demoted to a palace slave by him, at least he would have no worries about food and clothing, and there would be no problem in living in peace.
He didn't expect that Sui Yue would be the sad appearance covered in mud and water in front of him.
"The weather is too cold, Your Majesty is not going to freeze, your nose is not good, and if you are frozen again, it will affect your speech."
Liu Che nodded, looked at Sui Yue who was standing in the muddy water, and said, "Is there anyone who has bullied you?" ”
Sui Yue shook his head, pointed to the frozen rain urn and said, "It's the old slave who didn't care, something went wrong." ”
Liu Che looked up at the sky where there was still snow, and said lightly: "It's snowing, you don't need to pick up the rain urn, and the errand is free." ”
Sui Yue knelt in the muddy water and whispered: "Your Majesty, the rules are the rules, the old slave's errand now is to manage the rain urn, and now, if something happens to the rain urn, it is the old slave's fault, the upper fault is not strange, but he just ordered me to repair the rain urn and clean up these ice and snow, which is already a rare grace."
His Majesty pities the old slave for misery, the old slave is grateful, but this rain urn must be done, let go today, tomorrow will be lazy, the day after tomorrow will rely on His Majesty's grace to forget the matter of receiving the rain urn, there are many places to use fire in winter, in case of water, the old slave will die a hundred times and it will be difficult to redeem, please Your Majesty go back to the palace to rest, the old slave will dispose of the rain urn. ”
Liu Che nodded expressionlessly and said, "It's okay, I'll come to see me after dealing with the matter of receiving the rain urn." ”
With that, he left the Yeting Palace.
Sui Yue let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his head, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his right foot and calf.
With great difficulty, he pulled his right leg out of the puddle, only to find that what he pulled out was actually a muddy icicle.
Just as he was about to break the icicle, Sui Yue was stunned again, and a distant memory was generated in his mind again.
"Maid, you help the slave and maid to see, when will the slave and maid take off?"
"Hehe, when the right foot of the big companion weighs ten pounds, it is the day when the big companion soars."
Sui Yue remembered Xu Moying's appearance when he said this, and he even remembered that when Xu Moying said this, his face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
"This should be ten pounds, right?"
Sui Yue lowered his head and tapped the icicle attached to his leg and muttered to himself.
The emperor had just come, and the steward eunuch of the Yeting Palace naturally arrived at the first time, and he was by his side when the emperor was talking to Sui Yue, and after sending the emperor away, the steward eunuch quickly came to Sui Yue's side, ignoring the muddy water on the ground, kneeling on his face and kowtowing again and again: "Congratulations to the ancestor for his hard work." ”
Sui Yue's right leg muscles tensed, and with a vigorous shake, the icicles on his calf shattered, leaving only some residual ice hanging on his trouser tubes, clanging.
"I'll wait until a certain house finishes cleaning up the rain urn."
Sui Yue continued to clean up the rain urn as he spoke.
Soon, the director of the Yeting Palace stepped forward to help, and without much effort, many eunuchs came to the courtyard to help Sui Yue deal with the ice water.
A new rain urn was also brought out of the storeroom and placed under the eaves.
In an instant, Sui Yue's work was done.
Sui Yue looked at his eunuch with a blank look at the courtyard, so he went into the house and took out a burden, and gave it to the steward of the Yeting Palace: "There are some silver coins in it, let's distribute it to everyone." ”
The eunuchs brought a wooden bucket, filled it with hot water, and waited for Sui Yue to take a bath.
Sui Yue closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the happiness brought by power.
When he lost power, Sui Yue thought that he would not be too sad, but as time went on, the huge gap almost suffocated him.
Life in the palace was peaceful, but very boring, life here was like a painting without color, repeating simple and boring labor every day, so much so that Sui Yue thought he was dead.
If it weren't for Zhong Liyuan coming to him from time to time to discuss with him some things that he didn't know, Sui Yue's mood would have been even lower.
After taking a bath and letting the palace maids comb his hair, it was only at this time that Sui Yue found that his temples already had a little hoarfrost.
The palace maids helped Sui Yue tidy up his clothes, pressed the corners of his clothes with a jade pendant, dusted off some of the threads stained on his shoes, and stood beside him with their heads bowed in unison.
Sui Yue looked at these old palace maids and sighed slightly: "If a certain official is reinstated, are you willing to go out, are you willing to go to your beloved?" ”
An old palace maid led by Shi Li said: "I just don't want to die in the Yeting Palace." ”
Sui Yue nodded and said: "I know, if things go well, you can go to the Yun Clan, the Yeting Palace is cold, and it is not a paradise in the world." ”
The palace ladies bowed their respects together.
Sui Yue sat in a light carriage, the carriage drove slowly, he stroked the exquisite patterns on the carriage, and sighed, this was originally his car, but he hadn't seen it for more than half a year, and it was actually a lot dilapidated.
Walking slowly up the bluestone steps of Weiyang Palace, Sui Yue had some unreal feelings, these had long been familiar to him, and they were full of freshness.
Zhong Liyuan stood at the end of the steps and looked at Sui Yue with a smile, Sui Yue had been away from the emperor for nearly a year, he had not become a great Changqiu, he knew that except for Sui Yue, it should be impossible for anyone to replace Sui Yue as the new Great Changqiu.
And now it is.
"I heard that Changqiu Palace's right foot weighs ten catties?"
Sui Yue nodded proudly and said, "More than ten catties." ”
"But the time has come for the great long autumn to soar?"
"Xu Mocheng said this, it depends on how Your Majesty decides, Your Majesty is the destiny of our people."
Zhongli Yuan said yes again and again.
Sui Yue walked up to the high platform and looked around, sighed and said to Zhong Liyuan: "This is the place where a certain family lives and lives. ”
Before the words fell, someone slammed open the door of the main hall, staggered out of it, and then ran away with his head in his arms.
Sui Yue looked at the crown prince Liu Ju who ran away in surprise, and turned his gaze to Zhong Liyuan.
Zhong Liyuan said helplessly: "Your Majesty personally teaches your son!" You must be careful when you enter the door later, a certain family was almost dismembered by His Majesty last time! ”
Sui Yue had seen such a scene, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic.
After the sound of smashing things in the hall was quiet, Sui Yue slipped through the wall and slowly walked into the hall.
I saw the emperor holding a long sword in one hand, standing in the center of the main hall panting, and the furnishings in the main hall were no longer intact.
The emperor didn't need to turn around, he seemed to know that Sui Yue had already come in, and asked coldly, "Is the gag order order?" ”
Sui Yue hurriedly came to the emperor's side and whispered, "Zhong Liyuan has already done it." ”
The emperor turned to look at Sui Yue and said, "Give your old dog another chance, next time there will be no such cheap thing as deprecating the Ting Palace." ”
Sui Yue bowed to the ground and said nothing.
