Chapter 162: Xia Cicada (Chai Queen Fanwai) (1)
"Yue'er, go find someone to stain the cicadas outside, it's noisy." I rolled over, wrapped my head in a thin quilt, and laid the annoying chirping of cicadas outside the quilt.
After covering it for a while, I felt hot again, and I tore off the quilt in my hand, and the annoying cicada chirp lingered around me again.
I sat up, Yue'er brought me tea, handed it to me, I took a sip, the cicada still made me feel a headache, put down the water glass in my hand, and rushed out of the room with my shoes, Yue'er followed, followed several steps but couldn't catch up.
I am Chai Yun'e, the county lord of the Chai Palace, this palace is really in disrepair, and there are problems everywhere, especially the century-old trees in the yard, which are a happy land for cicadas every summer.
My house is two stories high, and my room is on the second floor, and after a few steps out of the embroidery building, leaning over the railing under the porch, I shouted to the people below, "Brother, you quickly command the people to get rid of all these nasty things." ”
As soon as I finished shouting, I saw the man behind my brother suddenly retreat, he looked up at me, and then lowered his head, he was very shy, I didn't look at his face, I only remember that one of his faces was flushed, and there was no trace of confidence in his eyes.
I don't like this young man who has good-looking eyes but is timid, that is my brother Chai Yunli's classmate, today my brother brought him here to see me, but I didn't expect to see me scolding. In fact, to be precise, I'm not scolding, I'm scolding the summer cicadas that are flying all over the sky and keep chirping.
That shy young man is the seventh prince of His Majesty today, and his mother is just a concubine who is not very favored, and she gave birth to three children before she was named a virtuous concubine, and she still lives in a small palace. How do you compare with my aunt, the current queen, and the second prince born to my aunt? I heard that Concubine Xian used to be my aunt's maid, so the young man in front of him is the child of the slave, and he is called the little slave.
At this time, although I was wearing a single coat, I didn't panic at all, but raised my head, and shouted at the young man who didn't dare to look at me with a straight eye, but kept peeking at me, "You little minion, how dare you peek at this county lord." ”
"Yun'e, bold, this is the Seventh Prince, how can you speak? If you come down, my brother will kill you. With that, my brother rolled up his sleeves and was about to go upstairs.
Yue'er caught up with me, and put a thin coat on my body, like cicada wings, and before I could stretch my sleeves, my brother caught up, but I was not afraid of him, so I flew out of the corridor on the other side, and then staggered downstairs.
When I went downstairs, I was knocked to the ground head-on.
Taking a few steps back, my brother, who wasn't really chasing me, helped me up, lest I suffer a butt squat, and the person I bumped into was not so lucky, I looked at the Seventh Prince Rong Huan, who was all on the ground, and couldn't help but laugh, "You little minion, you are so thin." ”
"You dead girl, if you say another word, I'll go to my mother to cure you" Our mother was very strict with the two of us, and I was most afraid of her, as soon as I heard that my brother was going to tell my mother, I immediately closed my mouth.
But he wouldn't let me speak, he didn't say that he wouldn't let me use his eyes, so I just stared at this little minion who almost beat me up.
This timid look is really, not worthy of the yellow belt and auspicious clouds on his body. If you want to say that the most suitable prince to wear Xiangyun Pei is still the eldest prince, he is tall and handsome, and I heard my mother say that in a few years, the crown prince will be in his pocket.
"Eyes can't do it, hurry, apologize to the Seventh Prince." Saying that, my brother dragged me, who was not in shape, and I was forced by my brother's "threat", so I had to stand up straight, and reluctantly shook my hands and "apologized to the Seventh Prince." ”
"Out of the way, out of the way. Yes, it is the king who did not see it. ”
"You're not the prince yet, among so many sons of Your Majesty, only the eldest prince is the king of Jie, you are just..." It turned red immediately.
"No, Chai Yun'e, you are going to die today, I have to ask my mother to ask the family law to punish you well." As he spoke, my brother walked out, for fear that I was bullying the Six Princes, so he turned back and took away the Six Princes, who were a little dumbfounded.
I saw that he was really moving, and chased him out in fear, and as soon as I got to the door, I saw my brother's footsteps stop, and the one who stopped him was slowly walking this way, our mother.
Her mother's surname is Bai, everyone calls her Princess Chai, her temperament, not only our two of her own children are afraid, even her husband, our father is very afraid, every time I talk to her, I am so far away, there is no business, I will never come to her room, the relationship between the two is not good, no wonder, that humble concubine, long before my brother, gave birth to my father's eldest son. But the mother never made the woman who didn't know the rules feel better.
But now it's hard for me, I took a few steps back in fear, and finally sat down on the steps behind me. The grandmother next to my mother stepped forward to help me first, but was stopped by a look from my mother, I pouted, refused to get up, stubbornly wanted her to help me up, but, I know, this is a matter of no way.
"Get up" She slowly walked in front of me, looking at me condescendingly, I didn't look away, tears rolled in my eyes, but I just made up my mind not to cry, not to get up.
"The dignified county lord, with shoes, wearing clothes, hair is still scattered, there are distinguished guests in the house, but you look like this, in addition to your own stubbornness, it must be the people around you, if you are still sitting on the ground and refuse to get up, they will be guilty, I will beat them first, and then sell the house, you girl..." ”
"Whether you are spared or not, it is your master who has the final say. It depends on her eyes, whether her disobedient self-esteem is important, or the lives of those eight or nine people in your house. ”
"It's all my fault, what does it have to do with Yue'er, Le'er and the grandmothers, I just don't get up, I don't get up." I shouted loudly from her, she was calm and relaxed, nodded, and Mama Zhang behind her immediately walked out, I recognized this Mama Zhang, she was the steward of the Inner House, and all the servants of the Inner Mansion were under her control, and Yue'er Le'er was really likely to be led out and sold.
I was a little panicked, but I still didn't want to let go, and wanted to reach out to my mother, but looking at my mother's serious and calm face, I still held my head and refused to give in.
Just when Mama Zhang dragged Yue'er and was about to drag her outside, the annoying sixth prince, the little slave, came to me, bent down and stretched out his hand, and without me parting, he pulled me up, raised his voice and said, "Just now the princess said that the county lord will not spare this group of slaves and maids if he stands up, and now that the county lord has stood up, please stop this grandmother." ”
I didn't expect this little minion to be quite good at exploiting loopholes, and suddenly caught the loophole in my mother's words, and now, even if my mother wants to punish Yue'er for me again, I have something to say.
"Since the six princes intercede for you, then Mrs. Ben will spare your life, and if there is a next time, you will be severely punished." Mother raised her voice, and not only the servants, but also my brother and I shuddered.
Mother looked at me again, and she did not punish my servants because of the Six Princes. But my punishment, though a little late, still arrived.
I sat at the desk, looking at the books in front of me with deep disgust, there were three books, my mother ordered me, I can only come out of the room after copying these books, otherwise, even if I am out of Gong, I have to be in my own room, I frowned deeply, and copied this book on the paper one by one, there is no end to "Mencius", my mother sometimes, just like a female master, always loves to teach us these crepe things. Our Chai family has been noble for generations, and we still need to read these sour books there, and naturally as soon as they come out, they are the pillars of the court and the country.
But I still did not dare to slack off for a moment, and did not dare to write a word badly, because according to my mother's temper, if she was not satisfied with a single word, she would tear it all up, and let me never do it.
I held my hand, I don't know how long it took, this didn't let me go out to play, it was just my life, and in two days, it was the day when the eldest prince went out, and he set up a painting boat and a boat on the west side of the Fu Pond, and then the concubine Niangniang would also.
I secretly heard my father say to my mother, the concubine Niangniang asked the eldest prince to set up a lake party, in fact, it was to choose a concubine for the eldest prince, my father asked my mother to take me there, I am naturally a thousand and ten thousand willing, since the beginning of this year, at the palace banquet, after seeing the eldest prince dancing the sword, I, my heart...
I quickly put down the pen in my hand, looked at the paper under the pen, was stained by ink, this is really a house leak coincided with overnight rain, on this paper, I have been full of words written by me, for a while I was deflated, dropped the pen and refused to write a word.
It's all to blame on that damn little minion, if he doesn't come to the house as a guest, if he doesn't come to my house to watch the excitement, how can he attract my mother and cause me to be punished, I copied the book here for a day, he slapped his ass on the spot and left, thinking of this, I slapped the table even more, but it hurt me, so I sat on one side angrily, angry and sulky.
At this moment, Yue'er walked in, and she leaned in and said to me, "Girl, go and have a look under the porch." ”
"Having a lot of fun?" As soon as I heard Yue'er tell me to go to the porch, I couldn't help but rush out, and sat in the corridor under the porch, and saw the six princes standing under the porch.
He is still that shy, seeing me or subconsciously take a step back, we are so far away, and I am not a tigress, is he so afraid of me?
I looked around, except for the gate of the courtyard, there was no one else except for a waiter who was not very clever and not very clever, and the sixth prince was dressed up in regular clothes, thinking that he had come to the house to see my brother, but my brother's courtyard was in front, and he came to me for something.
"Little minion, did you come to see my jokes?" I didn't say it to him angrily.
He shook his head and raised the cloth bag in his hand, so I realized that he had been holding the cloth bag in his arms, as if it was a very precious look, but the boxy cloth bag material was not very good, and it was the simplest cotton cloth "I'm here to send you this." ”
"I don't want it, go away." As he spoke, I was leaving, but he stopped me again, "I, I know that you are going to copy the three books of "Zhuangzi", "Mencius" and "Analects", I, I have copied for a day, and all of them are here. ”
"We have a different handwriting, and my mother will definitely make my spanking blossom when she sees it. Maybe you have to go into the palace to find trouble with your mother, you don't know her, she will do everything in order to prevent me from going down the wrong path with my brother, even if you are the son of His Majesty, it is no exception. ”
"I will copy your handwriting, your brother gave me a few copies of your books yesterday, you copy each one very seriously, as long as I use the tip of the pen hard, I can imitate the very similar, you send a maid down, pull it up and show you." As he spoke, he still shook the cloth bag in his hand, I looked at the black cloth bag in his hand, and the black green in his eyes, and remembered his sore hands again, and said to Yue'er, "Go, take it." ”
"Yes," she said, and Yue'er turned around and took the poor cloth bag with it, and I unfolded the skin of the cloth bag, and saw that there was a thick dozen pieces of paper inside, which seemed to have been copied, and was full of words that I had not written.
"This, if you don't say this, it's my handwriting." I can't believe it, I have a habit of raising the tip of my nose, and at the end of writing, there will be a little frizz, and the words will drift a little up, but these details I noticed, and what I didn't notice, he wrote and saw it.
My heart was shocked, and then I laughed: "Yes, little minion, with these you copied for me, as well as a piece of "Mencius" that I have already copied, my mother will take me to the lake meeting of the eldest prince when she sees that I am diligent and happy." ”
I was overjoyed, and I said everything in my heart, but even if I let that little slave hear it, I was happy, and I said to the six princes downstairs, "Okay, with this, I should settle the matter of you causing me to be punished, and in the future, when you see me, you should not know me, and don't talk to me, do you hear?" ”
"I, when did I hurt you and get punished?" He wanted to plead, but when he saw my bright eyes, he couldn't say anything, and by the way, no one could bully me.
