Chapter 7: The Carriage
Leaning on the couch and looking through the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he sneezed three times in a row, took the handkerchief handed by fennel and wiped his nose, and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I heard people say, 'One thought, two scolding, three thoughts', you say, is someone nagging about me?" ”
Fennel tilted her head and thought about it, and said seriously: "Maybe there are three people thinking about our gentle and beautiful Twelve Niang at the same time." ”
Konoha smiled: "Why can I see that there is not one person scolding me, but another person thinking about me?" ”
The master and servant laughed.
At this time, I heard an elderly maid outside walk in: "The palace sent a post, asking Twelve Niang to go to the banquet with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Konoha recognized that it was Jianqiu beside her mother, and asked, "Is my sister going too?" ”
Jian Qiu said: "Eleven Niang also got the post, but she fell and injured her foot early this morning, and the doctor instructed her not to move around at will for five days." ”
Konoha was suspicious: "I'll take a look at the post, what kind of banquet are you going to?" ”
Jian Qiu presented the post, and it turned out that Concubine Wei Xian held a banquet to enjoy osmanthus flowers and invited them to the Lin De Hall tomorrow for a banquet.
Since it was a banquet set up by Concubine Wei Xian, she was Li Yi's mother, so she had no motive to do anything, but why did her sister suddenly hurt her foot?
As soon as Jianqiu left, Konoha quietly called Fennel to find out how Guo Nianyun fell and injured his foot. Although she is not familiar with this sister, she can also see that she is not a low-key person, and she should be eager to try such a social situation, how can she be so careless?
After a while, Fennel came back, gloating with a face: "There is a commotion over there, Eleven Niang seems to have been preparing for the flower-viewing banquet for a long time, and a few good pieces of porcelain have been dropped in the house at this time......"
Since this flower-viewing banquet was hosted by Concubine Wei Xian, there should be no one who wants to harm the daughter of the Guo family at the banquet. Was my sister's fall really just an accident?
Konoha frowned slightly: "How did my sister fall and get injured, did anyone see it at that time?" ”
Fennel leaned into her ear and whispered: "Isn't it a day off today, I heard that the king of Guangling County came to find Eleven Niang to talk early in the morning, and the two of them didn't know what to say in the back garden, and they didn't ask anyone to follow, and it didn't take long to hear that she had fallen and the king of ......the county sent her back."
It's Li Chun again. And my sister fell a little strangely, and she didn't even have a subordinate by her side.
Early the next morning, Jian Qiu came over to call her: "Is Twelve Niang up?" I'm going to go to the palace for a banquet today, so please dress up earlier and go after dinner. ”
Konoha was a little surprised when he heard Jian Qiu say that he was going to eat to the banquet, and asked, "Didn't you go to the palace to go to the banquet, why do you have to eat at home first?" ”
Jian Qiu didn't seem to expect her to ask such a question, and after a pause, she smiled and said: "Twelve Niang doesn't know, although it is a banquet, how can you eat anything in the palace, but it is just a formality." If you only care about eating, people don't laugh at us to death, thinking that our little lady is hungry in Shengping Mansion! ”
Konoha sighed in her heart, it turns out that there are still these things to pay attention to going to a banquet, and if she marries into the royal family in the future, she doesn't know how much she doesn't know.
and Li Chun, who didn't know what kind of stumbling blocks to make for her. Thinking of this, she said to Jian Qiu: "Can I not go?" ”
Jian Qiu was slightly stunned, and quickly smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about, this post is not something that everyone can have, it is already rude for one of our family to tell the sick and can't go, what is it if you don't go?" ”
In this way, even if you know that it is a Hongmen banquet, you can only go to the banquet hard.
Jianqiu helped to clean up Konoha, and there was already a carriage with a black oil canopy waiting at the door. Jian Qiu seemed to be a little surprised, looked around and asked the coachman: "Why is Her Royal Highness the princess's car missing?" ”
The coachman said: "Someone from the East Palace said that Liangdi Niangniang had something to find Her Royal Highness the Princess, so she went first." ”
Konoha secretly said in his heart that he was not good, even his mother was taken away, thinking that this change should not be in the palace, but on the way to the palace.
She covered her stomach and chirped, "Aunt Jianqiu, I suddenly had a stomachache, thinking that I ate something bad yesterday......"
Jian Qiu was a little anxious: "My little aunt, don't miss the hour!" ”
Konoha bit his lip and made a feeling of discomfort, and said, "It should be fine, just go back and change your clothes." If my aunt goes first, I will ask my third brother to ride a horse and take me there......"
If Guo Jun is here, he should be able to protect her.
Jian Qiu said: "It's better to hurry up, the slave and maid will accompany the twelve mothers to go back and change clothes." The third prince went to King Shu's mansion early this morning, and he is not in the mansion at the moment! ”
Konoha was taken aback, it seems that he can only be blocked by soldiers today.
After staying in the carriage, but the carriage did not move for a long time, Konoha was a little anxious, lifted the curtain and asked the coachman, "Why don't you leave?" ”
The driver was not driving, but was tinkering with something behind the car, sweat was coming out of his head, and he said tremblingly: "Ruts...... The rut broke for some reason, ......"
"Is there a way to fix it?"
"This ...... This is a spare carriage, but if it needs to be repaired, I am afraid that it will not be repaired in a moment and a half......"
Konoha is worried that there is no excuse, the car is really broken. Jian Qiu was very anxious, and ordered the two maids to go outside to find the carriage, and ordered a young man to ride a horse to chase Princess Shengping's carriage.
Fennel was about to help her go in to rest, when she saw a carriage coming.
Jian Qiu was overjoyed in her heart and said with a smile: "The little girl is neat in her work. So he went up to say hello, but as soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, he jumped down a young man in a fancy costume first, walked straight to Konoha's side, and took a deep look: "Guo Twelve Niang is okay?" ”
The young man who has done enough etiquette like this and is full of grace is Li Chun again.
Konoha avoided it and said perfunctorily: "The blessing of the king of the county." Why does the county king have time to come here today? ”
is to ask him if he has something to do, and if he has something, hurry up and do something, don't stay here for a long time.
Li Chun smiled slightly, "It's time to go to today's flower-viewing banquet, and I was passing by Qinrenfang, thinking that you were also going, so I came to pick up Guo Shiniang on the way." ”
Konoha was pardoned and said, "My sister is spraining her foot, I'm afraid I can't go today, so the king of the county will go in and take a look at her." ”
Li Chun didn't move, only looked at her, and said with a smile: "I'm not an imperial doctor below, I'm afraid I won't be able to see anything, and I missed the hour." Since the eleventh mother can't go, it's better to be a favor in the next one, how about taking the twelfth niang together? ”
Konoha had just put down his heart and hung again, and he really didn't want to go with him, so he had to bow slightly: "Thank you for the kindness of the county king, it's just that the slave family's car can't work for a while, and it needs to be delayed for a while, so the county king should go first!" ”
Li Chun glanced at the rut, but laughed again: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a suitable car for a while, and this car is very spacious under it, so it's better to let Twelve Niang sit, and I'll ride a horse myself!" ”
He took two horseback attendants with him, and when the attendant heard this, he came over and handed him the reins, and he made a "please" gesture to Konoha.
He was right, even if the maids rented a carriage at the moment, the dirty and small carriage of someone outside was really not suitable.
Even if he let her sit alone in the car, it was not rude, and it would be trivial for her to shirk it again. Besides, in front of everyone's eyes, if something happened to her in his car, Li Chun would naturally be unable to escape the blame, presumably he would not deliberately make himself uncomfortable.
Konoha thanked Li Chun and got into his carriage.
