Chapter 127: Punishment for kneeling
Ruoyun was still in a daze, she was shaken so much that she woke up, looking at the gray sky, she vaguely remembered that she slept from morning to next morning, and slept darkly and steadily, and couldn't help yawning loudly.
With this action, the cold air came to her face, and she found that there were ice basins in the four corners of the house, and there was this to relieve the heat in the summer, no wonder she slept so well, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Who brought the ice?" ”
"Your Majesty." Xiaohong understated, but nervously grabbed her hand and said, "Niangniang, do you feel uncomfortable?" You've slept for a long time, and you didn't respond to me a few times in and out. I brought this ice basin yesterday, and you didn't even notice it. What's wrong with the emperor, he wants you to kneel, and you are not allowed to leave the Chaolu Palace? ”
"Hmm...... I'm fine. She felt much better, but her limbs were still weak, and then she remembered that Bai Ze had said that the puppet bird was a little poisonous, and it seemed that what she said was true, but she confronted Zhao Wuyang but found nothing, and then she couldn't lift her energy as if she had been drained of energy.
And the other half of the dizziness was afraid that she had a quarrel with Rong Jinhuan, but even if she was punished for kneeling, she was quite comfortable, and confessed to Xiaohong, "The emperor saw that I was not pleasing to standing, so let me kneel to show him." ”
Xiaohong listened to such a vague answer, dumbfounded, and hurriedly stomped her feet: "Niangniang, when is it, are you still laughing?" ”
"I'm not joking, it's not like the emperor is playing with me when he sends someone here so early." Ruoyun said and glanced out the window, it was still early, but Rong Jinhuan hurried up and didn't waste time.
"Do you want to ...... Go and call Yu Wangye? "Xiaohong is anxious, although the young lady has suffered in Chu Mansion for several years. But how can I not be punished for kneeling all day, yesterday Chang's father-in-law also took special care to prevent the mother from walking around, this time it is a punishment for kneeling and grounding!
Ruoyun pulled down her face when she heard this: "This is my own business." Don't bother him. ”
The Qingping Sect is in turmoil, disasters are frequent in various places, and the people who manipulate the puppets have not been caught now, she can only be sure that they are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and they are more and more arrogant and bold, and they dare to attack the palace even if they are in a trap. In this way, Yu Baize is afraid that he will be busy, and Rong Jinhuan is afraid that he will be even more worried.
Thinking of Rong Jinhuan's worry, she was a little gloating, but she still sighed: "Don't be stunned." Freshen up for me, and then boil some gold, silver, and grass water. ”
Ruoyun, accompanied by Xiaohong, rushed to Qianyuan Palace early, picked a shady place and knelt down in front of everyone.
Her knees hurt from the cold and hard floor tiles. But she knelt straight and didn't squint, and the eyes of the palace people around her seemed to her to be completely dangerous compared to Rong Jinhuan.
Xiaohong saw that she was guilty and couldn't help, so she could only stare dryly on the sidelines, and suddenly remembered something. whispered to her, "Go and come." He trotted away.
Ruoyun didn't know why, sighed, and looked at the dragon head hanging from the roof staring at herself viciously with teeth and claws, and her heart was furious, so she simply lowered her head and didn't look at it.
Kneeling for a while, Ruoyun lowered her head and was already dizzy, and her heart was full of suspicions, although Rong Jinhuan seemed to have a full grasp of the capital. But the Qingping Sect was only exterminated by Cheng Qingsu a few months ago, and now it has a great tendency to make a comeback. It stands to reason that Lord Wang, together with the Gyeonggi generals, has laid a net in the capital. But the person who made the flute was able to retreat with his whole body, which is really incomprehensible.
She counted down her hairs as she thought about it, and she couldn't help but shiver.
was stunned, Xiaohong came back panting, stretched out her hand to help her half, and without saying a word, she stuffed a cushion under her knee.
She didn't have time to question it, Xiaohong smiled and said, "The emperor only said that you should be punished for kneeling, but he didn't say that you can't put a cushion." He winked at her.
Thinking of kneeling all day, Ruoyun stopped refusing and smiled at her, her sore legs seemed to be a little easier.
Ruoyun looked at the bright sky, and remembered that Rong Jinhuan had clearly said that if he didn't allow her to get up, she wouldn't be able to get up. Xiaohong heard that the emperor was fortunate to have Mo Zhaoyi not gotten up until now, and he didn't need to go to court early for ten days of rest, could it be that he forgot about himself by having fun?
Angry, she still knelt in a proper manner, but Xiaohong muttered on the side: "Don't enter the palace if you know the way, Prince Cheng is a thousand times better than the emperor......"
"Poor mouth!" Ruoyun felt pain in her heart, and glared at her hurriedly, "Do you want to say that the emperor didn't decree that you can't complain?" Now, I'm not allowed to complain! As he spoke, he hurriedly looked away.
"Yes, yes, yes." Xiaohong echoed and rolled her eyes at the sky.
She felt a lot of pain in her heart, but she unexpectedly thought of a reason: Could it be that Qingxuan left Beijing, and those people were so unscrupulous? It seems that the status of the lord is really not to be underestimated......
In the past, she deliberately avoided it, but now she suddenly panicked and couldn't adapt to it, she bit her lip and closed her eyes, and her heart hurt so much that she couldn't think about it anymore.
The sun rose higher and higher, and the ground was hotter, fortunately kneeling in the shade, Ruoyun was still calm, but Xiaohong couldn't stand up and wiped her sweat with her sleeves, and then she simply paced back and forth with sore feet.
Ruoyun saw her like this and wanted her to go back, and saw a group of people walking towards here from afar, and it was Zhang Yu who was the first to start.
When people approached, Zhang Yu saw her kneeling at a glance and walked forward to salute quickly.
The heat wave on his body and the lowered head made Ruoyun frown slightly, and said, "General Zhang, why do you still have to inspect on a hot day?" ”
Zhang Yu bowed his head and was silent, Ruoyun thought that Zhang Yu was killed by Zhao Wuyang by mistake on the day he came, and hurriedly said: "General Zhang, don't worry, no one expected anything about the palace." ”
"Mother's misunderstanding!" Zhang Yu was anxious, his voice was deliberately low, and said, "If the last general has more weight to speak, it won't let you ...... Niangniang" He said and lowered his head.
Ruoyun was stunned, this punishment of kneeling was really spread all over the palace, could it be that Zhang Yu took the opportunity to visit on a hot day, and he was immediately grateful, but because someone was present, he had to say with a cold face: "This palace is self-inflicted, and it has nothing to do with General Zhang." ”
Zhang Yu looked depressed and kowtowed silently.
"General Zhang, Niangniang is kneeling in Qianyuan Palace, don't stay longer, be careful to cause trouble." Xiaohong glanced at him anxiously, and then looked at Ruoyun.
Zhang Yu thought that Xiaohong was serious, and looked at her nervously before getting up and returning to the queue.
When he walked away, Ruoyun felt very sorry, called Xiaohong to lean down, and said in her ear: "General Zhang has been kind to me, you treat him gently." There are many people in the deep palace, and it is indeed inconvenient for me to get close to him, just know the way. ”
Xiaohong was stunned, and after thinking for a while, she showed remorse on her face and nodded: "But...... He knows that you are good for him? ”
Ruoyun was silent, only looked at the dragon head above her head, and felt more and more hideous.
I don't know how long I knelt down, and the Qianyuan Palace passed the meal in.
She only felt that her feet were numb and gradually lost consciousness, but Xiaohong took it upon herself to pour water and pass food to her, and she was tired and hungry, and she didn't care about the emperor's permission to eat and drink hastily.
Zhang Yu didn't go around for a long time, but he took people to patrol here, this time he didn't go up the steps of Qianyuan Palace, and stood still from afar, but looked left and right.
"General Zhang stays!" Seeing that he was about to leave again, Xiaohong shouted, turned her head and winked at Ruoyun and said, "Niangniang, you always have to explain." ”
Ruoyun bit her lip and sighed: "Tell him not to come for a while." ”
Xiaohong nodded smartly, ran down the steps, and stopped Zhang Yu to talk to him, Zhang Yu was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to look at the steps.
Ruoyun turned her head and pretended not to see it, but the smile on her lips was relieved, and she was melancholy, Zhang Yu, who shared her weal and woe with her and was simple-minded, if she wasn't in the palace, maybe she could become a close friend with her who talked about everything.
Zhang Yu turned around and walked away, Ruoyun glanced down the steps, and there was a figure on the ground that obscured the mottled projection of the dragon's head, and a majestic and low voice came: "I asked you to kneel, what are you happy about?" ”
As soon as he looked up, Rong Jinhuan was dressed in bright yellow casual clothes and wore a bright jade crown, standing with his hands in his hands and looking at her, his face was not only cold but also arrogant.
Seeing that Changde behind her kept giving her a look, Ruoyun pursed her lips and kowtowed respectfully: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
Rong Jinhuan snorted, his eyes cold and dangerous: "You kneel freely." ”
"The emperor has an order, and the concubines dare not disobey." Ruoyun replied respectfully, but never looked at him.
Rong Jinhuan was suddenly irritable, glanced at the dishes, chopsticks and trays on the ground that he hadn't had time to clean up, and said angrily: "Without my permission, you dare to eat outside the Qianyuan Palace?" ”
"But the emperor didn't say he wouldn't allow it." Ruoyun blurted out Xiaohong's reason, raised her eyes, but saw Rong Jinhuan looking at her with helplessness in her eyes.
"You...... Do you know that the road is wrong? Rong Jinhuan squinted, watching her kneel for a long time and not being out of breath when she spoke, she couldn't bear to pursue it anymore, and squinted slightly and gave her a step.
Ruoyun took a deep breath, dipped her fingers in the tea in the cup, and slowly wrote the word "past" on the floor tiles.
Rong Jinhuan looked at it, and suddenly understood that she was "I don't know how to write wrong"!
He was angry and shouted, "Good! Then you will continue to kneel for me! As he spoke, he raised his eyes and saw Xiaohong kneeling under the steps, and pointed again: "In the future, Concubine Xian will kneel alone!" You're all stepping down! With that, Leng unexpectedly pulled out the cushion under Ruoyun's knees and threw it aside, brushed his sleeves into the house.
Ruoyun staggered and propped it up with her hand, only to see Changde whispering "ouch", shaking her head and sighing at her, and hurriedly followed in.
As soon as she spread out her hand, her palms broke through the skin and hurt hotly.
"!" Xiaohong hurriedly rushed over in shock.
She quickly hid her hands in her sleeves and knelt down, as if she was not in pain, and said: "It's okay, let the emperor lose his temper, you all go back, it's weird hot outside." ”
"No! Xiaohong doesn't leave......" Xiaohong wanted to stay no matter what, and be punished together, but the second half of the sentence was swallowed back into her stomach by her glare, so she had to beg, "Niangniang, you just let Xiaohong stay!" ”
Ruoyun don't turn her head, Xiaohong begged for a while to see her, so she had to leave a water cup in the corner of the wall, and left with the palace people step by step.
After a while, the emperor summoned him, and down the steps came a man in a silk shirt, with jade on his waist, a steady step, a thin face and a thin body, but his eyes were bright. (To be continued......)
