Chapter 149: Heading South (2)
Sheng Changning didn't want to see the gate of Yonghuai Palace, she had never thought like this that she would have such a day, avoiding Sheng Changqiong.
The sound of the carriage was dull, and the sound of the shaft was turning, as if someone was grinding herself with a whip rope, and as if a pair of big palms had strangled her heart.
Although Sheng Changning repeatedly instructed Zuo Nan, telling him to throw some horsewhips faster when passing by the Yonghuai Palace, so that the horses dragging the carriage in front of him could fly faster.
But at this speed, Sheng Changning felt that Zuo Yan didn't listen to her words at all, and it seemed that he ...... It seems that he is deliberately slowing down.
Sheng Changning's fingertips unconsciously grasped the edge of her skirt, and the raised embroidery pattern was a little sharpened, and it only took some force to make her hand feel extremely painful.
"Princess ......"
Female Officer Mo, who was sitting outside, also entered at this time, although she didn't see anything unusual when she looked at Sheng Changning's face, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was very nervous.
Lady Mo couldn't help but be a little worried, and couldn't help but call her, and said: "The left guard asked the slave maid to come in and inform the princess that the carriage has now passed the Yonghuai Palace, and we only need to go forward for another hour, and we can arrive at Qiu Cheng......"
Sheng Changning suddenly raised her eyes to look at her, even after hearing Lady Mo's words, she didn't seem to be able to react.
Bai Lu, who was originally teasing the iron-eating beast cub with Lixia, listened to Lady Mo's words, and looked at Sheng Changning with hindsight, only to realize that her princess was indeed too nervous.
The little girl only thought it was funny, she always felt that although her princess had been in the deep palace for many years, she had not been able to raise an innocent and ignorant appearance like Princess Nayue, but she was used to being an old man on weekdays.
It's really rare to have such a nervous look like today.
If Lord Shen sees it, I don't know how to tease the princess...... Bai Lu couldn't help but grin when she thought about it.
Lixia, who was just taking care of the little beast's "Gong", didn't have time to see the mentality of such a rare little daughter as Sheng Changning, but when she saw that everyone covered their mouths and snickered, she also laughed.
Seeing that they were all snickering like this, Sheng Changning seemed to have realized something, and couldn't help coughing twice to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
If the servants all raised their heads, they would be able to see that the cool breeze gently lifted the brocade curtain by the window, and the bright light outside was reflected on the woman through the faint curtain, and the blush unconsciously climbed up to her ears, outlining the small earlobes, and lining the woman's beautiful side face with a hazy but not real beauty.
……
This little trouble was indifferently revealed in the tacit looks of the servants, and when they noticed the little beast that Lixia was waiting for, Sheng Changning's eyes were mostly led by it.
Seeing her heart for the first time, Lixia felt interested for the first time, and her heart was also overjoyed, and she hurriedly put the little beast lying in her palm and stepped forward with Sheng Changning.
Lixia said: "Princess, do you want to name it?" ”
"You haven't taken it?"
Sheng Changning listened to Lixia's question, but she was more puzzled than she asked back, and when she saw the young beast lying peacefully in Lixia's palm, she said straightly: "Since it likes you, it's up to you to take it." ”
"Slaves and maids dare not exceed the rules." Lixia hurriedly shook her head, although she felt that the current iron-eating beast cub was very cute, but she felt trembling in her heart when she remembered that the princess had told her that the iron-eating beast mentioned in the book could grow huge, and its strength was incomparable to that of ordinary animals.
Let alone...... Sister Bai Lu once followed the princess into the dense forest, and also said that the princess was facing an iron-eating beast that had become an old man, and she died nine times for life.
Therefore, she could imagine that the beast was not an ordinary cat or dog, and just thinking about it made her feel flustered......
Where can you feed this iron-eating beast?
Lixia told Sheng Chang Ning Ming what he was thinking in his heart one by one, and Sheng Chang bowed his head slightly to express his understanding, but he didn't force her.
She really wanted Lixia to raise this cub to grow up, after all, she took this little poor little who had no mother shortly after birth, out of that dense forest, so that she would not easily abandon it again, and she would also take on the responsibility of raising this cub.
After thinking about it, I saw that Lixia liked her so much, and took good care of it on weekdays, thinking that he had chosen a good master for this little pitiful, but he didn't expect that this master didn't want to keep it for a long time.
"Then call it ......"
Sheng Changning paused and paused, glancing at the cub's shiny hair, she thought for a long time, then frowned fiercely, and spit out two words firmly: "Xiaoyi." ”
Bai Lu: "......"
Lixia: "......"
Lady Mo was shocked for a long time when she heard this, she hesitated again and again, but she couldn't help but persuade tactfully: "Princess, this, this is an ancient beast after all, you give this name...... But is it a little sloppy? ”
Bai Lu and Lixia listened to her admonition on the sidelines, and they both nodded in unison.
"Yes, yes! Princess, you think, if others ask you about the breed of this young beast first, they will be shocked by its illustrious prestige, and then ask the name of this little beast, but it will be called Xiaoyu...... Inevitably, it is too much to lose the domineering spirit of this fierce beast. ”
"......"
Listening to their strenuous persuasion, Sheng Changning really frowned, thought for a moment in embarrassment, and then she also hesitated and said, "I heard that the old man said that a cheap name is easy to support. ”
Without waiting for Bai Lu and them to be stunned, Sheng Changning seemed to have opened her mind, looking at the iron-eating beast with endless disgust in her eyes, she slowly continued: "Not to mention...... Xiaoyi's name, this palace feels that it is more suitable for it. ”
When the cub of this iron-eating beast was raised in Xunyang City, Lixia often brought it to the house to show her, but when she came back, this guy was either sleeping or holding the green vegetables to help gnaw hard.
Eat and sleep and wake up and eat, no different from a piglet.
So there's nothing wrong with giving it that name.
Hearing this, the rest of the people were choked, there was no silence in the carriage that had never been before, and Lady Mo hurriedly shook her head at Bai Lu.
What the princess insisted on doing, insisting on giving such a name to the little beast, they were destined to be unable to help the little beast.
Why say more?
Bai Lu understood the meaning in Lady Mo's eyes, nodded heavily, and she looked at the cub who was beginning to sleep unconsciously, and swept a sad tear for it in her heart.
From then on, the iron-eating beast that is famous in the book will be called a pig in the mouth of the princess!
