Chapter Twenty-Three: A Defeat
Buxian walked to the gate of Luohui Palace, and it was already 45 minutes later.
Seeing that the gate of Luohui Palace was not closed, Buxian pushed the door directly and went in, and saw a palace maid and eunuch pouring water into the courtyard. There was also a beautiful woman teasing the parrot by the main hall door.
The woman did not comb her hair in a bun, and the hairpin on her sideburns was a sunset-colored cherry blossom tassel hairpin. Wearing a bamboo-colored soft smoke shirt and a pomegranate skirt, her figure is plump and concave. She looks mature and beautiful, with a tall nose, raised eyebrows, sharp eyes, and a charming and seductive look under her eyes. It should be Xiao Meiren, the lord of the first house of Luohui Palace.
Seeing that the palace door was pushed open, Xiao Meiren glanced at the visitor, and when she looked at it, she was actually a princess who was not envious, and her face changed abruptly. She beckoned to the palace maid, whispered a few words to the palace maid, crossed her eyes, twisted her waist, and entered the dormitory and closed the door.
This operation looks unenvious and confused, is this going to give me a closed door? Is it so blatant to drive people away? Don't you give any face?
The corners of Buen's mouth twitched, and he moved awkwardly in the yard. Hesitating to leave at this time.
The palace maid brought the door again, and walked towards Buxian with a smile. Her eyes are not big, and her smile is like a crescent moon, which is very gentle and sweet.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person, and respond to her with a smile if you don't envy her.
The palace maid knelt in front of Buxian: "Ask the princess An, slaves and maids are happy, why did the princess come to Luohui Palace?" ”
"Hehuan, get up, let me ask you, is the beauty Niangniang not happy that I came?" Bu asked with big innocent eyes.
Hehuan got up: "No, no, my beauty is just tired, so I went to take a nap." ”
"Oh...... What are you doing throwing water into the courtyard? ”
"It's a little later in the house, and it's cooler."
"Oh-understood." Buxian nodded and looked around.
"The princess hasn't told the slave yet, why did the princess come here, it stands to reason that the princess should be in Taixue this time."
Buxian said as he walked towards the pavilion: "Originally, yes, but the prince's brother said that she lost her books, so I asked him to find them, and I found this after looking for it." Acacia, what time is it? ”
Hehuan looked at the sun, then at the shadow of the tree, shook his head and sighed, "Did the prince let you find a book again?" Alas, I'm afraid it's almost noon, and my beauty has only eaten for half an hour. ”
"Oh, it's so late, no wonder I'm thirsty and hungry." Buxian said and touched his belly.
Hehuan was relieved: "The princess hasn't had lunch yet, has she?" The princess sat down for a while in the gazebo, where there were some pastries to cushion you. The slave and the maid went and fetched it. ”
"Uh-huh, I'm waiting for you here."
After a while, Hehuan brought wine-stuffed meatball soup and mung bean cake.
Buxian stretched out his hand to grab the pastry, but Hehuan held Buxian's hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully for her, and said with a smile: "Princess, look at your little hands are dirty, the slave will wipe them for you." ”
A warm flow flowed through my heart. After eating and drinking, when she was about to leave, Buxian asked Hehuan to wrap a few snacks for her to take away. He Huan did as she instructed, wiped Buxian's face again, and sent her to the palace gate: "Princess, can the slave find a little eunuch to send you back to Taixue?" ”
Buxian shook his head: "No, there was a little eunuch who followed me, but I didn't let him in"
Hehuan looked left and right, and did not see the little eunuch in the alleyway.
Buxian clapped his hands and shouted twice: "Cong Yu, Cong Yu, you come out," Cong Yu appeared from the corner, "Hehuan, look, yes, I said that someone followed me, now you can rest assured." ”
He Huan smiled and said, "Then I'll rest assured, then the princess should go back to study too much, don't be greedy." ”
"Okay."
Seeing that he didn't envy ran away, the door of Luohui Palace was closed again.
Originally, I came to Luohui Palace just to pass the time. Although the food and drink are in place, the hot face is attached to the cold buttocks, and it is really not a taste in my heart. At this time, Buxian was also a little tired, and said to Cong Yu dejectedly: "Cong Yu, let's go back to Taixue." Are you familiar with the road? ”
Cong Yu nodded.
Buxian stuffed the pastries into Cong Yu's hands: "You eat a few, leave a few for Fan Qi, he is waiting under the pavilion, I'm afraid he won't eat." ”
Cong Yu was not busy eating, but just stuffed the pastry in his arms and carried it.
Bu said sullenly: "You lead the way, I will follow you." ”
So the two of them walked in the direction of Taixue one after the other.
On the way, Buxian asked Cong Yu: "What is the origin of this Xiao beauty, she seems to dislike me very much." ”
Cong Yu couldn't envy his short legs and walked slowly, so he slowed down a little and wondered, "Why doesn't the princess know everything?" ”
After all, he is the queen mother's person, and it is not good to be seen. Bu Xian's heart suddenly shrank and jumped a beat, and then he reacted again, and sneered: "Yes, I have forgotten a lot of things, and the only ones I can remember are my father, mother, and queen." ”
Post-traumatic stress disorder, this situation should have been common in ancient times, after all, wars are frequent, and there are always people who leave psychological shadows and traumas. They don't have an academic name for their major, though.
Therefore, Cong Yu did not have any doubts about Buxian's explanation.
According to Cong Yuxu, Xiao Meiren is the daughter of General Xiao of Jinwuwei, and General Xiao is an officer who is in the third grade, and is in charge of patrolling the palace and the capital day and night. Xiao Mei's name is Xiao Qingmeng, and she entered the palace in her jasper years. At that time, General Xiao was just a small cavalry captain. When Xiao Qingmeng entered the palace, he was deeply loved by Emperor Xuanzhen and was canonized as a beauty.
When she gave birth to the fourth prince, she was in the prime of her life. Because of the meritorious service of the emperor's heir, he was promoted to Xiao Jieyu. In the same year, Lieutenant Xiao Qidu was canonized as the Governor of Light Vehicles. This Xiao family has a bright future, a bright future.
It's a pity that the little prince died at the age of two, and the emperor promoted Xiao's father to the general of the army in order to comfort the Xiao family.
And this Xiao Jieyu's temperament changed greatly due to the loss of her son, and she disobeyed the emperor and the queen mother many times before she was demoted to Xiao Meiren. After being demoted, Xiao Meiren was disheartened and invited herself to the most remote Luohui Palace, closed the door, did not go out of the palace gate, and was also exempted from the morning and dusk provinces. But in recent months, she's been out and about.
Cong Yu said a lot, but he didn't say why Xiao Meiren didn't like to see him, and he didn't envy him and asked again, and Cong Yu didn't answer, only said that he would ask Rong Guifei.
The more I walked, the more I felt urine, so I stopped and asked Cong Yu: "How long have we been walking?" How long will it take to learn Taixue? ”
Cong Yu replied again: "We have gone for a time of tea, and we need another time for a stick of incense to Taixue." ”
The time for a cup of tea is 5 minutes, and the time for a stick of incense is about 30~45 minutes. Holding urine is harmful to the body. I don't think I'm a thick-skinned person, and my body is more important than my skin, so I'd better go to Luohui Palace to solve it. So Buxian turned around and ran back.
