"Nonsense!" When Old Madam Li passed by them, she suddenly reached out and grabbed her, and said angrily, "Silly boy, since this holy decree can be read, where can you regret it?" ”
"Then I'll say I'm sick!" The fox blurted out directly without thinking.
She praised her brilliant idea in her heart!
"You don't know what's in your head?!" Old Madam Li grabbed her hand, pulled her to sit down on the chair, then patted her, and said strictly, "If you are called sick at that time, isn't that deliberately deceiving the queen?!" ”
The fox blinked, showing puzzlement.
Old Madam Li continued to speak earnestly, "Do you think, the person who went to the official mansions today to announce the decree is the queen's confidant General Manager Zhou. At this time, Mr. Zhou looked at you with a healthy face, if you lied about being sick after three days and couldn't participate, what a shrewd person Mr. Zhou is, how could he not see that something was wrong here, and then he would report this doubt to the queen, on weekdays, the queen and her maiden brother General Luan, because they were different from the team standing with your father, had carved a gap, and they had been wishing that your father made a mistake, so that they could deal with it quickly, at this time, didn't you give the other party a chance?! ”
Mrs. Li said so much about the stakes, and the fox didn't understand everything, but she heard her say that if she didn't participate, it might affect her father, so the fox jumped up directly, "Since that's the case, then I'll reluctantly participate!" ”
"Really?" The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "It's rare that you can feel sorry for your father, and it's not in vain that your father's love for you is not in vain!" ”
Three days later, the Royal Palace. Jinghua Gate.
There is a large row of sedan cars parked here. These are all specially sent by the queen to pick up the daughters of various families who came to attend the birthday banquet.
From the moment they entered the palace gate, Fox Dudu, Shen Ling and the daughters of each family got off the carriage of their own house, lined up in two lines, and walked all the way to the Jinghua Gate.
When walking on the road, Fox Dumb and Shen Ling were standing at the front of the team behind them, and the two walked side by side.
Today, Shen Ling is dressed in a gorgeous peach, with a large phoenix-patterned gold ring around her neck, and the shape is many times larger than usual.
Shen Ling covered her handkerchief, peeked at the fox and said to her, "Cousin, it's not that my cousin said you, you tell me, you are such a big person, and you were specially invited into the palace by the queen, why did you come out dressed like this?" ”
Shen Ling actually wished that her strongest opponent was stupid, and the more ordinary she dressed, the better, but when she saw her like that, she couldn't help but ridicule her.
The fox looked down at herself, plain makeup, a plain cardigan, two small pinch, isn't it very good, the key is that she can specially ask Wang Ma to dress her like this, she just reluctantly coped with it for her father, and she didn't plan to let the queen notice her at all, so she wore as low-key as possible.
There were already a few young ladies following behind her, echoing her and laughing at her.
The fox glanced at Shen Ling blankly, and said lightly, "I think I look pretty good." Besides, isn't this exactly what my cousin thinks, the simpler I dress, the more it will bring out your beauty? Speaking of which, my cousin should really thank me! ”
"You're interested! I know I don't deserve to fight with me! Shen Ling looked proud.
As she spoke, Shen Ling saw the fox chuckle sarcastically.
She suddenly tightened her body and looked behind them, and when her gaze turned back, she glared at the fox dumbfoundedly, "Hmph, ghost girl, you are clever, and you deliberately said that, just so that those people behind us will see me as a thorn in the side, right?!" ”
"That's what you said, not what I said." The fox shrugged at her, showing his innocence.
"You-" Shen Ling waved her sleeves, intending to slap her hard, but at this moment, she heard the chief eunuch who led the way in front of her turn around and reminded them, "Okay ladies, there is Jinghua Gate in front, and you must always be quiet in the palace and not make loud noises, so from now on, you are not allowed to speak." ”
"Hmph" Shen Ling could only temporarily put away her anger and no longer looked at the fox dumbly.
The fox was very proud, and exaggeratedly scolded Shen Ling with his slave tongue.
Shen Ling looked at her arrogant appearance, her face was flushed with anger, and she was a cheap girl, waiting for her to be appreciated by the queen and designated as the future crown princess, see if she didn't send someone to pull out her tongue!
When they arrived at Jinghua Gate, they each took a sedan chair, passed through the long road, passed through dozens of imperial gardens of different sizes, rockery forests, and finally stopped in front of the Jade Dragon Palace, the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Prince.
The eunuch who took the lead turned back to them and said, "Okay ladies, there is the Jade Dragon Hall in front, you can go in directly, there will be another master in there to take you in and take a seat." ”
Jade Dragon Palace? The fox looked up at the three golden characters on the top of his head, and sighed infinitely, it turned out that this is the bedroom where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives, it looks really big, and it is even more majestic than His Royal Highness the Prince! Looking back, she must make a good laugh at the pear vegetarian!
At the top of the corridor, another chief eunuch led them into the hall.
The fox stupidly found that the daughters standing behind him kept their heads down, not daring to look around, and the fox stupid also learned from them to walk with their heads down, but after walking for a short while, the fox stupid found that she was really not suitable for this way of walking, since they all bowed their heads, not afraid of going the wrong way, or hitting the pillar, then she held her head high and took the wind for them.
So, the fox was so happy to decide, and she straightened up, and followed the chief with great ease.
Entering the main hall, which was the place of deliberation, passing through the main hall, and then passing through the central nave, and finally they entered an octagonal pavilion connected to the central nave, which had three floors, and they were led to the third floor.
The fox leaned his head and looked at the scenery outside the pavilion, wow, from this point of view, the palace is really big, if you don't rely on those people to lead the way, the fox is stupid, even if it is the year of the monkey, it is destined to not be able to get out of this palace.
But the fox was so patronizing to look at the scenery that he forgot that there was a passer-by in front of him, so when the chief eunuch turned around and stood still, intending to tell them to let them wait here for a while, a figure collided directly.
"Oh, Miss Li, what are you doing here?" The eunuch picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth lightly, and continued, "Fortunately, the miscellaneous family has strong bones, if the young lady is knocked out of a bloody hole like this, what can I do." ”
The fox frowned and crossed his arms to look at him, "I said this father-in-law, can you not speak so exaggerated?" Have you ever seen a bloody hole in your body when you hit it? ”
"Ahem, cough, cough" Obviously, the chief eunuch was exposed by her, and he could only cover himself with coughing, he suddenly stood up again, and said loudly, "This is the place where the queen mother set up a banquet for His Royal Highness the Prince, the time is still early, you ladies will wait here first, but you must not run around." ”
"Yes, father-in-law."
The fox also learned from them to help him, and as soon as the eunuch left, the fox stood up immediately.
The fox didn't know these etiquettes originally, but the day before she left, the old lady specially sent the palace people to teach her to learn who to see after entering the palace and what kind of etiquette to perform.
As soon as they were liberated, those daughters got together in twos and threes, talking about their own affairs, because Fox Dumb was from the Prime Minister's family, and Shen Ling was from Lord Shangshu's family, and Lord Shangshu was from Luan Chong's side, so in just a second, Fox Dumb was isolated by those daughters, they were all around Shen Ling's side, and some even if they were from the emperor's side, they didn't dare to stand in line rashly, so they could only get together one or two, pretending to look at the scenery and not caring about this side.
The fox sighed dumbly, alas, they can't be blamed, after all, the person who invited them to the banquet today is the queen, and they naturally can't openly oppose the queen, since it is embarrassing to stand here, it is better to go elsewhere, and be willing to see the trouble.
So the fox decided to come down from the pavilion, she just saw on the pavilion that there was a road that went directly through the imperial garden under the pavilion, leading to another jade bamboo forest, she didn't know if it was good over there, anyway, it was better than this side.
In this way, she came directly to the jade bamboo forest.
She looked up at the sky, it was still early, and this morning because she had to get up early to make up, so it delayed her sleep, so it was better to start the table while there was still a while, and simply find an inconspicuous corner to squint for a while.
So, she searched all around, and finally saw a clearing behind a boulder not far away.
She thought that the location should be the best for her to sleep and get the sun, how nice.
After she got to the boulder, she didn't think much about it, she just lay down, and the drowsiness suddenly hit, and she fell asleep directly.
But after some time, she felt that someone was kicking her arm, and the tone was not too friendly.
Anyway, robbing other people's food and disturbing people's sleep are the two things that the fox hates the most, so she woke up directly.
Then, a handsome face magnified before her eyes.
Then he was hit the arm again, "Hey, you get up for me!" This is the land of this prince, and he has to sleep elsewhere! ”
"I'm annoyed!" The fox jumped up directly, patted the part he kicked in, and glared at him angrily, "Who are you?" Why do you say that this is your place, I will give it to you, I sue you, even if this place was your place before, but this time I came first, so you should go away for me, and I will stay! ”
Since Guan You can remember, he has met so many people, who are not as tall as him, and who dare to say a big reason to him, except for the bun face on Prime Minister Li Cheng's mansion where he went back then, who else can there be? Especially this place is not far from the pavilion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
So he looked at her coldly, "Are you Prime Minister Li Cheng's daughter Li Yu?" ”
The fox was stunned, this man actually knew him, and he could still tell her name so clearly? It seems that they should know each other, but she thought about it for a long time, and she didn't recognize who this man was, so she was really depressed.
