Chapter 51: Night Talk (2)
Xia Zongxiao got up with great interest, cordially grabbed Ma Neiguan's arm, and smiled amiably.
A kind and familiar "Brother Ma" shouted that the Ma Neiguan was frightened, and his face changed with fright, and the white face of the grease and powder was so frightened that he was frightened, and he couldn't stand steadily, and even knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Your Highness has tormented the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are crippled and despicable, can you afford to be a brother of Your Highness?" It's okay to call a slave and a maid with a cheap name, or call a slave and a maid as usual? ”
"Hemp table?" Xia Zongxiao repeated, wipe the table? The name is still very... Featured... Can... Grossly out of step with the great image in his heart...
Ma Nei Shi prostrate on the ground, uneasy, forehead bean beads of sweat dripping on the precious animal skin, the dry and supple animal skin under the forehead instantly wet, the temperature in the tent is suitable, neither cold nor hot, really to say, the heat of the three charcoal basin stoves makes the tent a little dry, but at such a temperature, Ma Nei Shi is mixed with cold as if falling in the ice cave of the cold winter wax moon, the whole body is cold and stiff. His face turned pale and stiffened with fright.
The most favored grandson of the Queen Mother, the first emperor's sister-in-law, and the Prince of Great Qin called him a brother? If this is placed in the folk and the literati Zizong Xun's noble children to make friends with politeness, it is nothing, but for him a royal slave, a crippled eunuch, called a brother, that is a stain on the royal bloodline, if he still accepts it with a big grin, then he really lives to the end, he has lived in the palace for most of his life, it is instinct to be cautious and clear-minded, and he can't survive in the vermilion wall if he doesn't learn this.
Xia Zongxiao's original high interest was kneeling down by the Ma Neiguan, and became happy, and the people of Daqin are open to the good people and ordinary people, as long as the people who are good people on the household post, they all enjoy a high degree of freedom, and ordinary people do not need to kneel and bow when they go to the yamen to complain, they only need to bow down.
But for slaves and slaves, it can be hierarchical, the status of master and servant is like a flood cliff that cannot be crossed, the slightest mistake in the pond slave will be doomed, the master has the power of life and death for the slave, no need to go through the government, after disposing of it yourself, you only need to report to the government.
Ordinary wealthy families are still like this, but the rules within the wealthy family are even stricter, and they have their own heirloom rules, and the royal family is even better.
Xia Zongxiao saw Ma Neiguan's trembling appearance, and realized that he, Meng Lang, had some words and some things that were just casual words and unintentional actions for himself, but for others, it might lead to disaster.
In the past, several governors of the palace who annoyed him were taken away by themselves through such behavior.
Now he knows why Ma Neiguan is scared like this, it should be a misunderstanding, thinking that he is going to "attack" him?
It's really "unbearable in the heights", Xia Zongxiao also lost the mood to continue talking with them, and he didn't have the interest to ask who the Machi attendant was from, what exercises he practiced, and whether there was any connection with what he thought in his heart and the figure in his mind.
With a wave of his hand, he sent the two people who knelt on the ground out, and the Ma Nei servant trembled and kowtowed and got up and retreated, and even the unrelated Zhuo Nei Shi checked the cold sweat on his head, and he took a long deep breath with a relieved heart, kowtowed and retreated.
The two opened the tent curtain, and the cold wind outside the tent blew in their faces, and the two of them were excited, turning their heads to look at each other, all of which were happy for the rest of their lives......
Looking at each other and bowing to each other to part, Ma Neiguan pulled the wide sleeve of his right sleeve with his left hand, wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and walked tremblingly to a small military tent next to Xia Zongxiao's big tent, which was originally the military tent where the little dice lived, and he now lives here.
Zhuo Neiguan fled and walked to the outside of the big camp gate, several soldiers who had already packed up their whole body gold armor to escort him to Nanyazuo Jinwuwei, holding the reins and standing next to the horse waiting for him, seeing that the Ma Neiguan did not give a polite salute, several people turned over on the horse, went straight to the official road, and went to Bianjing.
Compared with the official road leading to Shuozhou in Daying, the official road to Bianjing is dark, only the dim moon pass sprinkles a trace of brightness, and the figures of several people disappear into the night not long after, only the sound of horses' hooves echoing in the night.
The two groups of people who did not deal with each other outside the tent had already stood up in accordance with the rules of the official rank, waiting for the prince to summon them, Yang stood behind Sun Yanwu and looked at his mouth and nose as if he had settled down, standing upright, although Sun Yanwu was also not moving at all, but he only felt that his back was uncomfortable like a cold mang.
Sending away the people sent by the emperor's grandmother, Xia Zongxiao screamed and lay down on the bed freely, the whole person lay in a large shape, and his two hands restlessly touched the splendid quilt spread on the Luohan bed, and the comfortable Shunhua feel was much better than the coarse cloth quilt of Han Niuzi's house.
Bai Ye was attracted by Xia Zongxiao's strange scream, looked up at him, and saw that he was fine, so he frowned again. The pen swayed rhythmically in her mouth.
Although I felt the comfortable ironing in my hand, I couldn't wait to fall into the warm quilt and sleep peacefully. But I always felt that something was missing, my heart was empty, and I tossed and turned on the bed for a while, and I saw the white night with a serious face that was still frowning and biting the pen.
Suddenly, I realized where the feeling of emptiness in my heart came from.
One turned over, lying on the bed, holding his chin with his left hand, and caressing the brocade quilt with his right hand, making the sound of his nails scratching the silk silk.
Said softly: "White Night ......" is still a little shy...
“......”
Bai Ye's brows were slightly depressed, his face showed a faint joy, he raised his hand and quickly wrote a few words, a slight smile appeared on his face, but in a blink of an eye, he was depressed and condensed, and he didn't know how to write. Eyebrows are crossed. His expression was serious, as if he was fighting against thousands of troops.
Xia Zongxiao held his head and waited for a long time without getting a reply, thinking that Bai Ye didn't hear it, so he called softly: "Ah Ye......"
There was silence in the tent......
Xia Zongxiao suddenly felt that he was being ignored, and he was furious! slapped the edge of the solid wood bed with a palm, and there was a dull sound with a bang, and the movement did not come out, so that the palm of his hand was painful and red.
Xia Zongxiao, who was embarrassed and angry, covered his red palms, and said angrily with a flushed face: "White night! ”
"Huh?" All Bai Ye's thoughts were on how to write this plea, and he was not surprised by Xia Zongxiao's angry shouting, his eyes were serious and a little confused, and he looked up at him innocently, "What's wrong?" ”
Xia Zongxiao covered his aching hands, his eyes glared at her with anger, and glared at the position beside him: "Lao Tzu is going to sleep!" Come and sleep with me! ”
Bai Ye didn't wait for Xia Zongxiao to finish speaking, and his attention returned to the music in front of him, and he didn't raise his head absent-mindedly: "You can sleep by yourself first... I'm not done yet..."
"You!" Xia Zong's filial piety was knotted in his chest, and he was speechless, this is what a wife should say to her husband?
Angry hands and feet and crawled out of bed, the big stumbling on his body almost rolled off the bed and ate, and suddenly Xia Zongxiao panicked and became angry, but fortunately, he was helped up by the small dice and Gu Mancang who shot in time, and the two of them angrily tore the big dice on their bodies to tear him off, but they pulled it tighter and tighter, and they couldn't pull it off. was about to go to Bai Ye to "settle accounts", and walked towards Bai Ye while pulling the big dice on his body, but before he took a few steps, he was dissuaded by the little dice who wanted to come up to help Xia Zongxiao untie the button. The little dice wanted to help, but Xia Zongxiao still didn't appreciate it, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu will solve it himself!" ”
The little dice have long been accustomed to Xia Zongxiao's occasional childish temper, and he is not afraid, and he has long been able to distinguish when his Royal Highness is really angry and when he is fake annoyance, and he is close to persuade: "Your Highness! You can't just talk to... Princess... Hit the sack! ”
"Why?" Xia Zongxiao was full of anger, leaving the tie that was getting tighter and tighter with the neckline, poking the forehead of the little dice, spinning back and forth until he poked out a little red mark, he let go, and pointed to Bai Yeqi, who was not impressed at all, and said: "You also stand with this bastard!" Angry with me? ”
Bastard thing standing on the side? The little dice looked cautiously... Princess... Where is this?
Although the forehead of the little dice is a little red, it does not hurt, and since he was a child, he has not been "punished" by His Royal Highness like this, but the little dice are not angry and afraid at all, but regard it as the pride of being close to his own prince.
The little dice explained with a smiling face: "How dare the slave and maid be angry... It is really Sun Yanwu, the temporary commander of the central guard outside the tent, and a few commanders who are still waiting outside the tent for His Royal Highness to summon him! ”
Xia Zongxiao was pulled by the little dice, his face was full of displeasure, and he glared at the "culprit" viciously, who expected that Bai Ye didn't pay attention to him at all, and he didn't raise his head.
"Humph! Let them in! Snorted coldly. After making trouble for a long time, people didn't even raise their heads, and Xia Zongxiao suddenly felt desolate and bored. Angry, he moved a small spring stool and sat next to Bai Ye, his fingers restlessly poked Bai Ye's arm from time to time, like a naughty and aggrieved child.
Bai Ye just came out with a sentence that could inherit the above and express his guilt and self-blame for deceiving the court saint, but he was poked by Xia Zongxiao...
Bai Ye forcibly endured the irritability in his heart and squeezed out a trace of insincere smile, looked at Xia Zongxiao and said helplessly: "What's wrong?" ”
