Chapter VII
Xie Ruqing followed the jade out of the flower hall and went all the way to the backyard.
This Zhuangzi of the Nine Kings Mansion occupies a huge area, there are mountains and scenery near it, it is almost not like a residence, it can roughly distinguish the front and back yards, but it is not as clear as the general mansion, the houses are built according to the distribution of scenery, and they are very random.
Xie Ruqing observed for a while and couldn't tell where the direction was going, and it was inconvenient to ask, so he could only be more vigilant.
After walking for about half an hour, Xie Ruqing felt as if he was getting more and more secluded, the houses here were getting fewer and fewer, the scenery was getting better and better, even in the middle of winter, there were patches of green grass and trees.
"Don't worry, girl, it's going to be there soon, today my family invited the sons of Beijing to bow in the hunting ground, and the guest room will be arranged to a farther place." Jade turned her head and smiled.
She didn't say that it was okay, so Xie Ruqing vaguely heard the shouting, so is this going farther and farther or getting closer?
"Girl, the one in front is it, you go in first and wait, I'll go and get the imperial doctor over." Jade finished speaking and left.
Xie Ruqing looked at the room, it looked like a guest room, but she would definitely not be stupid enough to go in by herself, who knows if there was anyone inside. She looked around, through the flowers and trees in front of her, and in front of her, an open space that looked like she was going to build something, and didn't go any further.
At this moment, with a burst of exclamations, a bow ball flew in front of her, Xie Ruqing was startled by the sudden accident, the ball flew head-on and wrapped in full momentum, she subconsciously dodged, the soles of her feet did not know where to step on, and stepped on the air defenselessly. The dirt beneath her feet somehow loosened so much that she slid into a deep pit.
Even though she knew that there was no one around, she still couldn't help but scream, but fortunately, the soil was soft, and she didn't hurt when she slid down, but she was a little embarrassed. After a while, she slowly stood up, and to her chagrin found that the pit was neither shallow nor deep, and she just couldn't get out.
He was waiting for her, and he deliberately took her to the place where the men were playing kemari, and she was a little frightened and fell into the pit, and then no one found her until the feast was over.
It was a little embarrassed, but Xie Ruqing felt that it was much better to stay in the pit than to listen to a bunch of crows, anyway, someone would come over sooner or later, thinking like this, she sat in the pit and looked up at the sky with her face in her hands.
"Huh? I saw that it was flying here, why didn't I see it? ”
"Did you fly out of the wall? Forget it, don't look for it, just find another ball, Yu Ning is gone! ”
"You go first, I'll look for it later, I like that ball the most, I can't lose it."
Xie Ruqing pricked up her ears as if she were facing a great enemy, there were three men's voices, two of them were far away, and one of them was running towards this side, she hesitated for a while between shouting and not shouting, and regretted again why she pretended to be dumb.
No, it's so easy to come to someone, you can't just give up, she was in a hurry, shook the handkerchief in her hand hard, and threw it out of the pit.
"Huh? Where did the girl get the scarf? The person who came was not very old, and his voice was full of curiosity, he slowly walked towards the pit where Xie Ruqing fell, looked inside, and was startled, "Why did you fall?" ”
Xie Ruqing gestured with him twice, signaling that he couldn't speak, and the young man stared at her for a long time, "Why don't I recognize you, which girl are you?" ”
Xie Ruqing was speechless, can't you pull her up first at this time?
"Why don't you answer...... Oh, sorry, I forgot you can't talk. The boy smiled and stretched out his hand to pull her, only to reach out and retract it as soon as he reached out, "You wait first." ”
He picked up the handkerchief on the ground to cover his hands, and then stretched it out again, "You can just pull me, look at your skinny, I will definitely be able to carry you up with one hand." ”
The young man is not very old, his breath is not small, but the smile is funny, Xie Ruqing is funny, and only puts his hand in his hand. However, the young man bragged about it, but he didn't pick it up when he tried his best, and his face was red with embarrassment.
Xie Ruqing carried his skirt and climbed up by himself, and when he was about to step up, the young man might have pulled hard again in order to make up for face, Xie Ruqing was dragged by him, and suddenly pounced on the young man, and the two of them collided with each other and their faces were red.
"Hey-you, you slow down." The young man touched his nose and couldn't help but look at the girl twice - I don't know which lady it is, she looks really good.
Xie Ruqing stepped out of the way, lowered his head and saluted, anyway, those who can come here to play must be either rich or expensive, and there is nothing wrong with saluting.
"No courtesy, no courtesy." The young man gave a sigh of relief, "Hey, why did you come here, you got lost...... Yikes! What's wrong with your hand? ”
The young man saw Xie Ruqing's red hands, and couldn't help but feel pain for her, "Is it hot tea, I see that your clothes still have tea stains, these girls are really, they can't serve tea, and they don't know how to take them to the guest room to change their clothes if they are hot......."
The young man talked a lot, and he was verbose, but he guessed everything, Xie Ruqing saw that he was very enthusiastic, so he asked her to lead him out.
Probably because she didn't speak, the young man felt more and more pitiful, as if she had a bitterness and couldn't say it, so he reasoned by himself and pushed it to the point, "Did someone leave you here?" I know that some girls have bad hearts, and they bully people when they see that you look good and can't speak, go, I'll reason for you! ”
If he ran to reason, the crows would definitely think that she was a poor complaint, and they might not be able to fix her in the future. But the young man was overzealous, and without saying anything, he ran to the flower hall where the girls were.
The ladies were still laughing in one place, the jade who said that she was going to come back to ask for a doctor was trembling with a smile, I don't know which girl had sharp eyes, and saw the young man who came over angrily outside, and the ...... behind the young man, "God, how can she ...... With the Nine Emperors? ”
Her voice was not small, and the ladies in the flower hall looked at each other in surprise, and opened their mouths wide one by one.
"Which one poured her tea?" Nine Emperor Prince Yu Ning asked when he entered the door, he glanced around the flower hall, a room full of warblers and swallows, none of them were worthy of a dumb girl, he asked for a long time and none of them came out, and snorted, "Don't recognize?" If you don't admit it, it's deliberate, and when I return to the imperial aunt, you won't have any good fruit to eat. ”
The girl who had just poured the tea was still standing behind Chen Wan, and her face turned white when she heard this.
Chen Wan came out to play a round, "Yu Ning, why did you come to our girl's place to play, but Keju is hungry?" She immediately told the girls to get some snacks, "Quickly bring some delicious food to cushion the stomach of the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
"Don't be busy, we don't lack food." Yu Ning looked at the happy face, but he didn't forgive people when he held back his reasoning, he called out to the girl who was going to run, "Come here, talk about what's going on." ”
This is obviously a posture for Xie Ruqing, which provokes Miss Yigan's liver to be angry and sour - I don't know what kind of fox this Xie Ruqing is reincarnated, and he actually seduced the Nine Emperors like this!
The Nine Emperor Prince Yu Ning is the emperor's favorite little prince, and he will definitely be rich and noble in the future, not to mention that he is still handsome, that is, he has grown into a crooked melon and cracked date, and a bunch of people want to send the girl to the Nine Emperor Princes. Among the ladies and ladies in this room, there are at least three or four who are devoted to him, and at this time, seeing that the Nine Emperor Princes want to be strict for the dumb lady, they are jealous for a while, and the handkerchief in their hands is about to be broken.
The girl who was called over happened to be the one who poured tea, and she wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, her face was miserable and white, and she was about to faint, "Nine, Nine Emperors, the maid doesn't know ......"
"I don't know? Who of you knows to come and tell me that I will reward her with good things to tell the truth. Yu Ning looked around again, pointed to the jade and said, "You come to the jade." ”
The jade tiger's body was shocked, and he didn't know how the Nine Emperors were so good at fingering, and the two who came over were executioners.
"Nine Emperor Princes, Jade didn't see it." She is right, and the girl who follows the fourth princess is different.
"I didn't see it, then you were standing on one side." The smile on Yu Ning's face gradually ended, and she looked at a very good-looking girl, but she was not kind-hearted, "Which young lady here is willing to tell Yu Ning, I will invite her into the palace to eat another day." ”
These words were like a thunderclap, slashing into the heads of several noble girls, squeezing out those jealousy, resentment and unwillingness, and their eyes instantly lit up.
Not every lady in the palace can enter casually, and even fewer are specially invited in, not to mention that there are no ancients who have been specially invited in by the prince, anyway, there is no one in this dynasty.
Who doesn't try their best to get close to the Nine Emperor Princes, now that the opportunity has come, they still take the initiative to invite, and if they don't go, it's a brain water.
"Nine Emperor Princes," the young lady of the Shang Shujia said, "It's just that the girl accidentally slipped her hand and knocked over the teacup, and she didn't mean to hurt Miss Xie." ”
She wanted to show that she didn't want to offend people, but if she said it, she didn't say it, Yu Ning looked at her expressionlessly, meaning that this is the end?
On the other side, the young lady of the general's family added: "I know this girl Xiaoyanagi, she is very careful in her work on weekdays, but this time it was probably because the tea bowl was too hot that she didn't hold it, and she really didn't mean it." ”
The culprit confessed, which was a little more useful than before, but it was not intentional that only she knew it, this young lady was in such a hurry to put it aside for others, and she clearly knew it.
The girl named Xiaoliu broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The Nine Emperor Princes atonement, I really didn't mean it, I just slipped my hand." ”
Yu Ning didn't listen to her explanation, "The girls who can serve in front of Miss are all one in a hundred, you tell me now that your hands are slippery, so what are you going to do, there are many girls who don't slip their hands, you are not wronged, right?" ”
Xiao Liu raised her head in horror, she didn't dare to carefully distinguish the meaning of the Nine Emperors' words, she didn't want to be sent away, she still wanted to continue to be in front of the second girl......
Xie Ruqing watched coldly, she didn't expect the Nine Emperor Princes to come for real, and she was worried that he would make things worse if he stood up for herself, but now it seems that she is too worried. The Nine Emperors' vigorous punishment of those who bullied her with such fanfare is enough to deter a group of young ladies, after all, even the girl of the second girl of the Nine Kings Mansion has not escaped, and even if the other young ladies who are not strong enough are not convinced, they have to weigh it before bullying people.
"Who is the one who took Miss Xie to change her clothes?" Yu Ning continued to ask.
This time, there is no need for him to say it, everyone's eyes are all looking at Jade, and the reason why no one dares to sell her blatantly is just to hinder the fourth princess.
"It's Jade." Jade herself was calm, and even smiled, "It's Jade who didn't think about it, and didn't lead Miss Xie into the guest room door and turned back to find the doctor, I didn't expect her to get lost, the doctor ......."
"How do you know she's lost?" Yu Ning interrupted her, "Did you calculate that you still knew that she would get lost and deliberately left her, or, did you deliberately let her get lost?" ”
"What did you say, Nine Emperor Princes?" Jade frowned, as if these words insulted her, "I have followed the fourth princess since I was a child, if such a person is like this, where can I get the favor of the fourth princess, I met Miss Xie on the first day, and I have no grievances, what did I do to her?" ”
Hmph, Yu Ning sneered, he knows what kind of person the Fourth Emperor Sister is, and what she favors is usually not a good thing, "You know that Miss Xie didn't recognize the way when she came for the first time, what is your intention in leaving her alone outside the guest room next to the hunting ground for male guests to rest?" Don't tell me that Miss Xie walked by herself from the women's guest room. ”
"Ninth brother, what are you doing!" The fourth princess endured and didn't speak, thinking that the Nine Emperor Brothers could give him a thin face, who knew that even her face was down, it was unreasonable, "This is the banquet of the emperor's uncle and aunt, what kind of system do you make waves here for a girl?" ”
Yu Ning and this imperial sister have never dealt with each other, one is proud of the sky, the other is pampered and arrogant, everyone is arrogant, naturally they are opposites, and there are few people in this world who can get along with the four princesses.
"Girl?" Yu Ning listened here for a long time, and finally knew whose family the mute girl behind her was, "The niece of Princess Qiyang, the great-great-granddaughter of the old lady Yu of the General's Mansion, how did you become a girl here, how big are your faces?" Besides, you don't bully people, and I don't have to seek justice for her here, do you still blame me? ”
"You!" The fourth princess felt that her face was lost, so she had to "rely on the old and sell the old" to oppress people, "I am your imperial sister!" That's how you talked to me? Be careful I tell my father! ”
Sue her father for this kind of thing, Yu Ning is really not afraid of her, who hasn't been favored by her father, "You treat your father as an old fool, if you take advantage of it, it's my imperial sister and I will let you, I have a bad heart and a wicked person sues first, I don't believe that my father still speaks for you." ”
The fourth princess's head was completely smoking, but she couldn't say anything about him, after all, she didn't take care of it.
Yu Ning said: "Today is the banquet of the Nine Emperor Uncles, I don't want to be unlucky, you two girls will stay until tomorrow, come and take them away." ”
"Nine Emperor Princes!" Jade's calm face finally collapsed, "How can you ......"
"Take it away." Yu Ning looked childish, but he was very imposing when he gave orders.
Xie Ruqing's favorability towards this Nine Emperor Princes has been rising, thinking that no matter what happens in the future, this big thick leg can't be lost.
