Chapter 202 Double Standard
Bo Zhaoxu politely responded: "This is natural, you are an elder, how can I not give you face, and when I am free, I will enter the palace to meet you." ”
The Western Xia monarch nodded thoughtfully, seeing that his interest was fading, Qiu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the monarch of Western Xia is obsessed with finding a woman who looks similar to his own sister, he can't see it today, so he just does it, and he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
A richly dressed woman suddenly walked off the stage and saluted the god of fortune to the monarch of Western Xia: "Monarch." ”
"Get up."
The monarch of Xixia waved his hand, "In the end, it's still good to be young, the body is convenient, and the concubine came early, but you can see the appearance of that Boss Lan clearly?" ”
Xiang Yeqi sighed in his heart, praying that this woman would never remember what she looked like.
Qiu Ming hurriedly said: "Don't be too embarrassed by the monarch, this friend has recently been contaminated with the wind and cold, and she wears a veil all day to show people, how can Niangniang see her appearance." ”
As if he hadn't heard what he said, the monarch of Western Xia said with anger: "Ai Concubine? ”
He was very dissatisfied with Qiu Ming's interruption of his conversation.
The Xixia concubine only shook her head, as if to answer the question: "Returning to China, it's not like." ”
The meaning of these words is not so clear to the public, but everyone present can read the deep meaning of the words and feel the intention of the monarch of Western Xia.
"Yes."
The monarch of Western Xia laughed dryly, obviously dissatisfied with the reply of this favorite concubine, but whether he was dissatisfied with the answer or was purely unwilling was very intriguing.
He did not vent the resentment in his heart to the hands of others, in the end, he was calm and relaxed: "Okay, this person can be regarded as seeing it, and he will go back to the palace to rest first, if you don't care about your body, how can you compare to you young people." ”
Qiu Ming reluctantly laughed twice, couldn't bear not to look at the back of the scarred hand of the Western Xia monarch, hugged the person back to the step, and said goodbye again.
……
It was difficult for the concubine of Xixia to give a conscience reply, Qiu Ming finally had some time to breathe, and opened the carriage door curtain boringly, sighing and laughing: "The fourth prince reacted quickly, and almost let that old thing bump into it." ”
"How dare this king not take it seriously."
Bo Zhaoxu seemed to have other meanings in his words, and his figure was just like this on Xiang Yeqi's body, as if he was hugging Xiang Yeqi into his arms. He said: "Those who cherish it can only feel at ease when they are always in their eyes." ”
"That's not the way it is."
Qiu Ming pretended not to hear the deep meaning of the oath of possessiveness in Bo Zhaoxu's words, so he got into the carriage sideways and reluctantly chewed the vinegar taste in his mouth.
It is estimated that it is because I know that the monarch of Western Xia will come to see today's excitement, and there are a lot of gentlemen who come to participate in this Pinhua meeting abnormally, all of them thinking that they can make a name for themselves in front of the monarch, and maybe they will be able to enter the court as an official with this light.
"Isn't this old thing different from what you think?" Qiu Ming looked for a topic on his own, trying in vain to break the silence in the carriage.
At least don't be so embarrassed.
Xiang Yeqi did have something to say: "There are a lot of rumors about your old monarch, but most of them are talking about how terrifying his appearance is, similar to those Hu people who eat living people, although I also know that this kind of rumors are mostly unreliable, but I still feel that the appearance of the monarch is not very different from the rumors." ”
The face of the Western Xia monarch seemed to be too gentle, even when Xiang Yeqi could see the extremely obvious anger on his face, he still had a smile on his face, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth seemed to be engraved on his face, like two arc-shaped scars.
"As fake as the old thing looks, as many rumors about his past as fake."
Qiu Ming snorted coldly and poked his head out of the carriage: "Go and inquire, how are their flowers, and at this hour, there should be some results." ”
"It's a good day today, Master Hou doesn't have to be so impatient."
Bo Zhaoxu is still closing his eyes and recuperating, he is really not in a hurry to leave, no matter where he is, the only thing he really cares about is to take care of Xiang Yeqi.
But I don't know how tormented Qiu Ming is staying for a while.
The scorching sun at noon outside the carriage was in front of Qiu Ming's eyes, and there might not be Bo Zhaoxu and Xiang Yeqi sitting opposite him dazzlingly.
Qiu Ming asked himself, he is not good at being in the limelight, and he doesn't like to be jealous, how can he see Xiang Ye's pajamas leaning on Bo Zhaoxu's shoulder, so uncomfortable? He sat across from them like a sculpture, waiting for his men to come back with news.
Xiang Yeqi rubbed his eyes and yawned: "It's okay to go back early, I can't help but want to sleep in spring and autumn." ”
Who knew that Bo Zhaoxu changed his tone again at this time, opened his eyes very rarely, and said with concern: "You still can't get used to the wind and sand in Western Xia?" It's also the king's negligence, he only sent one of the southern guards here, and he can bear this kind of trivial matter. This king will take you back to the inn to rest first. ”
Qiu Ming's facial nerves twitched for a while, "Didn't the prince just say that there is no need to be so anxious, why just after he finished speaking, the prince couldn't sit still first?" ”
Bo Zhaoxu was confident: "She's sleepy." ”
Good guy, it's the first time Qiu Ming has seen someone with a double standard so straightforward, how could she fall in love with such a brazen man!
But seeing Xiang Yeqi frowning due to sleepiness, Qiu Ming gritted his teeth: "There is a book waiting here, and it is not bad for you to go back first." ”
He is the only one who can guard the result of the game, which is like generosity.
Bo Zhaoxu's idea of wanting to go back to Xiang Yeqi first was not to say, let alone to be angry with Qiuming, he was just about to go back to the inn to rest with Xiang Yeqi, and the Xixia guards rushed back after being busy for this reason.
The Xixia guard took a breath and said, "Master Hou, the results have come out, but there are some trivial matters, which are being delayed now, and it is estimated that we will have to wait for a while?" ”
"What's the matter, you have to wait?"
Qiu Ming's anger is completely uncontrollable, and the little overlord of Western Xia is worthy of his name.
"It's hard to say!"
The iron-blooded man who was as thick as a calf in the Xixia guards was so strong that he didn't dare to speak out loud when he was questioned by Qiu Ming, "The judge said that the boy in the palace promised to come just now, and he wanted the fourth princess to be this pot of iris, but this is the great joy of tasting, how can it be given to her casually?" is persuading, saying that this Baochai promised to return to the palace a long time ago, leaving only two palace maids here to grind their mouths! ”
"What is there to advise? It's just that as soon as Xiaoxiao agreed, he dared to act like this, pointing out to rob other people's things? The old thing pointed at her and pampered her, this marquis and she didn't know each other, and there was a reason to get used to him? ”
Qiu Ming actually looked like he wanted to teach this Baochai to promise to be a man, but having said that, the monarch of Western Xia was not like the old emperor, who would share some thoughts in the six palaces and eight gardens, thinking about how to get the rain and dew evenly, and from time to time to promote those old people in the palace; Most of the women in the harem of the Western Xia monarch were used by him as utensils to vent their emotions.
Many frail and frail girls couldn't even survive that night under the devastation of the Western Xia monarch, and even if they survived, it was in vain, because most of the Western Xia monarchs would not remember their existence, and either sent them back to their original positions, or hastily sealed the position of a nine-grade concubine.
So the queen's subordinates agreed.
She dared to be so domineering, she should also think that she had a bargaining chip, second only to the queen who escaped from the world and didn't see anyone.
"You just tell the palace people she left behind that the flowers were brought by the trustee - don't send them!"
Qiu Ming was like a lion cub with teeth and claws, so frightened that the Xixia guards were about to run back to pass the word, but Xiang Yeqi suddenly sat up straight and shouted to him: "Come back quickly!" What are you doing in such a hurry, and there is nothing to chase you! ”
What defeated Xiang Ye's sleepiness was her mentality of almost being by two fools.
"Offending people is a trivial matter, the main thing is that words cannot be said like this." Beckoning to the night, he summoned the Xixia guards to his side, "You go and give an answer first, just say that the owner of the flower really likes this, and he is reluctant to give it away, and he has to think carefully about it for one night before making a decision." ”
Letting go of the Xixia guards in front of him, he yawned again to Yeqi: "Lord Lao Hou has publicized this matter in the capital, and it doesn't matter if it's exaggerated. ”
Qiu Ming also wondered what was the difference between Xiang Ye's statement and himself, so he was suddenly woken up by Xiang Ye's words, which should be considered, doesn't it show how "precious" this iris is. If the flower thief doesn't make a move tonight, he will have to go to the palace to steal it after that.
On one side is the inn where the people live, and on the other side is the heavily guarded palace, no matter how you think about it, the former is a little better.
Before Qiu Ming's words of praise to Yeqi could be spoken, he saw Bo Zhaoxu signaling him to silence, it turned out that Xiang Yeqi had slept on his side and was safe.
He sighed and whispered to the coachman, "Go back to the inn first." ”
The coachman scratched his head, always feeling that he had forgotten something, and after returning to the inn after a thousand difficulties, he lived with sore muscles and bones, and suddenly remembered-
What about the guards who opened the way for themselves just now?
The Xixia guards are good at chopping people and chopping wood, let him reason with the little girl who can only see when he looks down, he is not very good at it, and when he walks off the stage with a flower pot, he should have stopped at the carriage, and there is not even a wheel left, leaving him alone to think about life in the autumn wind.
Is he really a cronie of his master?
……
When he woke up from his sleep, it was already after noon.
The lobby was crowded with people, all of them were Bo Zhaoxu and Qiu Ming's subordinates, the two of them had already formulated a layout, as long as the flower thief dared to come, he would definitely not be able to escape such a net, and there were even more traps in inconspicuous places, and Xiang Yeqi couldn't even figure out how they could do all this in just a few hours.
"Princess, be careful."
Nan Chen stopped Xiang Yeqi, who wanted to step forward to look, and was so frightened that Xiang Yeqi honestly took two steps back, but nothing happened.
She frowned, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's an agency here."
For some reason, Nan Chen wore a silver needle with him, and threw one to the mechanism he said to demonstrate it to the night.
