Chapter 19: Interesting Souls
Looking at Qi Jiuyue, who was not in the world, she smiled even more, and casually stuffed the cup into Qi Jiuyue's hand: "Taste it, it tastes good." ”
Qi Jiuyue looked at Xiao Wanyan, who was smiling, and was fascinated, but she choked on a sip, and when she coughed twice, she heard her laughter in her ears: "Don't be nervous, drink slowly, no one will rob you." ”
It's a shame, he is also the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can he be looked down upon by a woman, Qi Jiuyue cleared his throat in order to save face: "What am I nervous about, it's just that this wine is a little strong, I can't get used to it." ”
People are small and have a big temper, Xiao Wanyan felt that he was very interesting, so he shook the quilt in front of his eyes, and said: "It turns out that His Royal Highness King Qing is used to drinking the fine wine in the palace, but he is not used to drinking the folk fruit wine." ”
Qi Jiuyue only then noticed the dark purple fruit wine in the cup, this time it was good, there was no face left, he pursed his lips, and said stubbornly: "I, I mean that the sweet and sour fruit wine is suitable for women, not for us men." ”
As he finished speaking, the door was opened, and men dressed in fancy clothes were sent in, they covered their faces with fans, and looked at Xiao Wanyan shyly.
These men did not have the fortitude and majesty of the men of the Great Zhou Dynasty at all, but they were quite similar to the softness of the men of the Great Liang, she glanced at them, raised her finger and pointed to the second man on the left: "Stay with the purple fan." ”
She glanced at Qi Jiuyue and picked her chin: "Why don't you pick one too?" ”
Qi Jiuyue choked on spittle, and he waved his hand again and again: "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me, I really can't play with this man." ”
"That's the woman, the woman here is quite good-looking, and there must be something you like." Xiao Wanyan wanted to break people away, so she ordered: "Quick, bring one of your most beautiful women here and show it to our master." ”
Qi Jiuyue became more and more unable to see through the woman in front of him, and he was also worried about his cousin's future life, he picked up the teapot at hand, poured a glass of wine and drank it, a little dizzy, Xiao Wanyan immediately supported him: "Just drink a glass of wine, you are drunk?" ”
"How could I be drunk?" Qi Jiuyue shook his head, the person in front of him had changed from two shadows to four shadows, his feet were a little soft, his mouth couldn't speak clearly, his eyes rolled, and he fainted.
Xiao Wanyan helped him to the bed, and called two tentatively in his ear: "Jiuyue? Nine Yue? ”
Seeing that there was no movement, she gave up, turned to look at Qu Xiaoran in front of her, and said indifferently: "Let him fall asleep here first, and we will go to another room." ”
Qu Xiaoran was a little surprised that she could find here, she knew that she would be reprimanded, and she couldn't hide, so she had to take Xiao Wanyan to another room obediently.
Xiao Wanyan was very cautious outside, she had to carefully probe all the doors and windows before she was willing to sit at the table, looking at Qu Xiaoran who was kneeling in front of her, looking like she was letting her fall, and said slowly: "Now that I know that I am afraid, what did I do earlier, I found that the older you get, the more courageous you are, but your brain is still stuck in a few years ago." ”
Qu Xiaoran looked pitiful and hung his head: "The princess forgives her sins, the slave is not worried about your safety, so she thinks that she can take care of it by your side." ”
"If you don't say that you don't have any brains, if Chu Huairan finds out, wouldn't you even serve us to the pot." Xiao Wanyan hated that iron could not become steel and said: "Since this is already the case, there is no way to send you back to Daliang, you wait for the opportunity, I will find a way to let you enter the Prime Minister's Mansion first." ”
Qu Xiaoran was pardoned, and bowed again: "Thank you to the princess." ”
"Alright, get up."
Qu Xiaoran hurriedly flattered Xiao Wanyan happily, pinching his shoulders and legs: "Princess, how do you know that I am here." ”
Xiao Wanyan rolled her eyes helplessly: "The note you gave me has a strong smell of rouge floating on it, it is very pungent, how can you find a small place to stay according to your temperament, I happened to meet King Qing coming back, I tried a little trick to ask him to take me here, okay, don't talk nonsense, time is limited, you hurry up and tell me how Daliang is after I die?" ”
After such a long time, Daliang must have undergone earth-shaking changes, and according to her sister's way of doing things, the ministers of the court and the central government who had followed her before would not have a good time.
Sure enough, as she expected, Qu Xiaoran looked melancholy, and he took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was the new law promulgated by Daliang recently, all of which were contrary to what she had asked before.
"Men are not allowed to study, they are not allowed to work, they are not allowed to enter the court as officials, men are not allowed to show their faces and go to the streets to buy and buy goods, men are not allowed to make peace with women, if they are divorced, they cannot remarry, if they are divorced, they are allowed to be bought and sold in the slave market, and those who escape without permission are punished by beheading, and the men of Lerenfang are distributed to the mines, and they are not allowed to go out for life, and the people should pay half of the taxes on the money they receive every year, and they should be collected from the treasury, and all minerals, mountains, and streams are all owned by the royal family, and they cannot be used for private ......use."
Xiao Wanyan slapped the paper on the table angrily, and her teeth creaked: "What a Feng Ruyi, she actually destroyed the country that the mother emperor worked so hard to govern because she hated me." ”
I didn't expect Feng Ruyi to be so ruthless, she refused to let go of all the places she had been to, and even the people in the Lerenfang couldn't be spared and became slaves? Buying and selling?
A trace of clarity flashed in Xiao Wanyan's mind, and she looked at Qu Xiaoran as if she understood the reason why he couldn't go back: "You tell me honestly, were you sold to the Great Zhou Dynasty by Feng Ruyi?" Did something happen to Jiuli? ”
Qu Xiaoran made a bitter face and told her the causes and consequences one by one: "Since General Jiuli learned that you were dead, he united with the ministers of the court to avenge you, but the second princess did not allow it, and after many confrontations, the second princess was dissatisfied, and deliberately set a trap to imprison the general in the general's mansion in the name of assassination, and sent someone to abolish the general's legs, and then the general asked me to send a letter to the commander of Zhao in the military camp, but I didn't expect that the commander of Zhao rebelled, not only told the second princess about the matter, but also sold me into the slave market, It was only on the way to the Great Zhou Dynasty that I escaped. ”
"Feng Ruyi." Xiao Wanyan gritted her teeth, she clutched the piece of paper tightly, and the green tendons on the back of her hand burst out: "One day I want you to pay for your blood debt." ”
"I met Han Yi here today, I don't know if Chu Huairan has become suspicious of me, in short, you should be careful, you must not be caught by others." Xiao Wanyan is now like standing in the middle of a bridge, with a tiger in front and a wolf in the back, unable to advance or retreat.
She drank a glass of wine on the table, her spicy throat was hot, and she felt that the smell of wine was not strong, so she had to drink another glass, she took Qu Xiaoran's fan stained with fat powder and rubbed it on her clothes: "Dispose of the wine that Qi Jiuyue has drunk, don't fall into the hands of others, and in the future, you can't drug the wine I brought unless you have to, although Qi Jiuyue doesn't seem to be careful, how many people in the emperor's family can be really stupid?" ”
"Yes, the slave knows."
Xiao Wanyan In order to avoid arousing Qi Jiuyue's suspicion, she asked Qu Xiaoran to exchange for a pot of wine with great strength, and put it in the wine jug again, and then pushed Qi Jiuyue on the bed, and called: "Jiuyue, wake up, we should go back, otherwise your cousin should find out." ”
Qi Jiuyue slept sweetly, he smacked his lips and turned over: "Don't make noise with me, I'll sleep for a while." ”
This can't help him, Xiao Wanyan used a lot of strength to drag Qi Jiuyue up, and pretended to be anxious: "Don't sleep, I saw Han Yi just now, if we meet, your cousin will know everything." ”
As soon as he mentioned Chu Huairan, Qi Jiuyue trembled, and immediately opened his hazy eyes, he pressed his slightly painful forehead, and looked around: "What's wrong with me?" ”
Xiao Wanyan poured a cup of sobering tea and handed it to him: "Your alcohol consumption is too bad, you will get drunk after only two drinks, next time I can't take you out for a drink, otherwise I won't have so much strength to get you back." ”
Chu Huairan took the sobering tea handed over, and also felt that his mouth was dry, but he immediately changed his expression when he took a sip, and spit it all out, his face was full of disgust: "What is this?" It's so unpleasant. ”
Xiao Wanyan said casually: "Decanting tea, it's a little hard to drink, but it's useful, you don't know how rare the ingredients for this sobering tea are, fifteen-year-old centipede, fifty-year-old snake gall, twenty-year-old mouse hair, thirty-year-old toad skin, seventy-year-old fish scales, eighty-year-old ......."
"Alright, don't say it." Listening to the things that came out of Xiao Wanyan's mouth one by one, Qi Jiuyue's stomach gradually overflowed with sour water, and he patted his chest like a fish bone stuck in his throat, which was very uncomfortable.
Looking at Qi Jiuyue's increasingly ugly face, Xiao Wanyan laughed: "I lied to you, where can I find so many rare things for you, it's too difficult for me." ”
Qi Jiuyue raised her eyelids and looked pale for a moment, and then laughed dryly: "Sister-in-law is so funny." ”
There are no such things, she actually said that because it is too difficult to find, if these things are really mixed together, he will definitely never see this beautiful world again, Qi Jiuyue wiped the cold sweat that almost dripped from the corner of his forehead: "Sister-in-law, we should go back, otherwise my cousin should be suspicious." ”
Seeing that the sky outside was already dark, Xiao Wanyan stood up and nodded, "It's really time to go back." ”
The moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated the path ahead of them, and a breeze blew on them, removing the heat of drinking.
Xiao Wanyan smiled and unexpectedly broke into Qi Jiuyue's heart with a smart appearance, he was a little fascinated by this smile, and wanted to engrave it deeply in his mind, so he couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, do you have sisters?" ”
Suddenly a sentence, Xiao Wanyan was stunned, he couldn't figure out what Qi Jiuyue meant, so he had to answer honestly: "My sister has one, but she is a little timid, and she just goes out from time to time, why did she suddenly ask about this?" ”
Qi Jiuyue lowered his head and smiled: "In the past, I didn't like to start a family because I was afraid of bondage, but since I met my sister-in-law, I have decided that I will marry a woman who is as interesting as my sister-in-law in the future." ”
With such bright eyes, Xiao Wanyan was a little weak-hearted, she inadvertently looked away, looked ahead, and said slowly: "There are so many women in the world, you will definitely be able to meet the woman you like." ”
At the same time, Chu Huairan, who was far away in the Prime Minister's Mansion, was sitting in the main hall with an angry face, his eyelids jumped, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart: "I can't even look at a big living person, what do I want you to do?" ”
The subordinate knelt on the ground, and Poria on the side trembled on the side: "Xiangye forgives the sins, Mrs. fell asleep after lunch, and Poria didn't see her go out." ”
Han Yi, who rushed back from going out, saw such a scene, and immediately said to his side, and whispered: "Xiangye, my subordinates seem to have seen Mrs. and ...... in Baihuafang."
"Don't ramble, say it quickly, meet Madame and whom?" It's like if the person Han Yi said was Qi Jiuchen, he would immediately want Xiao Wanyan to look good.
"It's His Royal Highness King Qing."
"Jiuyue? What did she and Jiuyue do in Baihuafang? Chu Huairan was uncertain in his heart, you must know that although Qi Jiuyue is greedy for fun, he has always paid attention to his identity, and he will never mess around in this kind of place.
Han Yi pondered and said, "I heard that Madame called many young people into the room. ”
Before the words fell, only to hear a "bang" Chu Huairan hit the table, and the cracks gradually filled his eyes on the table, and Han Yi, who was watching, immediately knelt down and didn't say a word more.
Chu Huairan was annoyed, and said in a deep tone: "Han Yi, you immediately bring someone to bring Xiao Wanyan back." ”
