Chapter Twenty-Five: A Great Show

The green trees are shady, and the summer days are getting longer. The reflection of the building platform and the shadow into the lotus pond.

After Zhaoyun finished breakfast, he began to learn the etiquette taught by Mama Zhao. After lunch, Zhaoyun half-leaned on the bamboo collapse in the shade of the tree and rested.

Layers of luxuriant foliage cut the sunlight into mottled shadows that reflected on her fair face.

Mingcui sat on a small bench beside her, her elbows on her lap, her crumbling head in one hand, and the bamboo fan in her other hand shook slightly from time to time.

The cicadas lying on the trunk of a tree not far away make two noises from time to time to break the silence of this summer afternoon.

"The princess is not good!" Biluo's voice came from afar, and the two of them suddenly woke up from their dreams.

Zhaoyun sat up straight from the collapse, looked sleepily at Biluo, who was panting on her knees, and asked after she had rested for a while.

"What's the matter? So panicked? ”

"Back to the princess, Nian Xia and Xichun are about to fight with Mrs. Qian, who helps the kitchen in the dining room." Biluo wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and replied.

"Mingcui, go and pour a cup of tea for Biluo." Zhaoyun didn't answer, turned his head and ordered, "It's hard work Biluo, it's such a hot day, take a break for a while." After speaking, he pointed to the small bench where Mingcui had sit.

"Princess~" Biluo sat down slowly, looking at Zhaoyun and stopping.

"Tell me about the cause and effect." Zhaoyun shook the bamboo fan in his hand and said slowly.

"After lunch, princess, don't you want Xichun to go to the imperial dining room to get some ice cubes and come back. I don't know why she was delayed on the way back, and most of the ice she took was melted. ”

Later, she went back to get it again, but the Qian woman who was the cook disagreed, saying that each master's daily allowance was counted. Xichun didn't follow, and the two quarreled. ”

"Then what's the matter with Nian Xia?" Zhaoyun asked, placing the fan on his lap.

When she learned the news, she saw that Mrs. Qian and a few mothers-in-law were there, and you quarreled with Xichun without saying a word, and without saying a word, she stepped forward and quarreled with those mothers-in-law. When I passed, they were arguing the hardest. I persuaded me a few words, and when I saw that there was no relaxation, I immediately rushed back. Princess, look? ”

Ming Cui came back, and as soon as he handed the tea cup to Biluo, he heard his master command.

"Mingcui, you run this trip for me. You stand and watch from afar, and if you see that they don't do it, don't interfere. ”

The imperial dining room is in front of the door.

The jar of pickled vegetables was slammed down, and the dark brown jar tumbled and fell from the shelf, shattering in one fell swoop. Next to the broken porcelain shards, there were also piles of rotten vegetable leaves and some broken eggs, and the ground was in a mess.

"You little hooves, don't you just rely on your own posture and want to serve others. Don't look at what this place is! How dare you run here to spread wildness! You, you ~"

Mrs. Qian was trembling with anger, standing in the mess all over the ground, straightening her arms, and tremblingly pointing at Xichun and Nianxia in front of her.

"You what you! You're a lot older, and your mouth is respectful with me! We are the palace maids given by the Queen Mother to Princess Zhaoyun! What is Israel's servant? We have, do you have? Besides, Sister Xichun is just looking for you to order ice cubes again, what a cross here! Relying on your age? Nian Xia raised her eyebrows, glanced at the princess, and kept replying.

"yes, I just wanted to ask you for some more ice cubes, I just saw that you have so many ice cubes in the cellar, why not give me more? What is this cross! The mouth is not dry yet! Xichun crossed his thin waist, rolled his eyes upward, and then said.

"You~You~!" When Mrs. Qian heard this, her fingers trembled even more when she pointed at them, her clenched teeth trembled from time to time, her cloudy eyes stared at her, and she wanted to pounce on them immediately and tear them apart.

Ming Cui, who had just arrived, hid behind a tree not far away, paying attention to the movement over there from a distance. Looking at the imminent situation over there, I couldn't help but sigh, it's really exciting! If it weren't for the fear of being discovered, she would have wanted to applaud!

But seeing that Mrs. Qian was rolling up her sleeves, and a few slightly younger women around her were about to step forward, Ming Cui hurriedly wanted to rush forward to stop it.

That Mrs. Qian stepped forward with an arrow, stretched out her big hand, and grabbed Xichun's hair in a high bun. Just dragged and pulled, the hairpins that were oblique between Xichun's hair immediately fell to the ground. And the hair that was pulled up fell to the ground, hanging down to his ears.

Xichun heard the crisp sound of the hairpin falling to the ground, and then felt the pain in his scalp, and immediately screamed when he came back to his senses, punching and kicking at Mrs. Qian. However, the strength is too small, and the hammer on the fat Qian Pozi is like a mayfly.

When Nian Xia saw it, he stepped forward several times, wanting to pull Mrs. Qian's big hand that grabbed Xichun's bun. A few people on the side glanced at each other, and took a few steps forward to block in front of her, forming a human wall.

Mingcui hurriedly trotted over, wanting to alleviate the chaotic situation, but she suddenly remembered the screams of Qian Pozi killing pigs. Everyone immediately looked back, only to see Xichun bite on Qian Pozi's thick arm with a cheek, leaving two rows of neat tooth marks in an instant.

Everyone's eyes widened, looking at the remaining tooth marks on Mrs. Qian's forearm, and froze.

I saw that Mrs. Qian's face gradually turned purple, her eyes widened, and there seemed to be a burning flame in it, which was about to come out. The big hand that was pulling Xichun's hair slowly put it down, and the other big hand instantly slammed into Xichun's little face.

Everyone on the side only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and after Xichun's face was hit to the side by gravity, he didn't stand firmly, and sat on the ground in a mess.

Ming Cui was stunned as she watched from the sidelines. Mrs. Qian's set of actions is like flowing water, all in one go. She didn't even have time to stop it, and it was already such a field.

Xichun, who was sitting on the ground, instantly reddened and swollen on one side, only to feel that his head was buzzing, and his face was also hot and painful. Zhu pursed his lips, frowned, and cried out with a wow. In an instant, tears flowed down his cheeks like rolling beans.

"You little dog hoof, don't play this trick in front of me, who is this pitiful pretend? There is no one here who can take pity on you. Mrs. Qian covered her arms and still chattered and scolded angrily.

"Alright, let's stop talking. She is also the palace maid of Zhaoyun Palace, Mother Qian, you don't look at the monk's face but also look at the Buddha's face, don't worry about her anymore, so as not to lose your identity. Seeing this, Mingcui hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her.

Mrs. Qian glanced at her, then gave up, gave them a blank look, and walked away with a group of onlookers.

"Alright, stop crying! It's been delayed for so long, so hurry up and go back to the princess! Mingcui bent down, took a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to her.

Mingcui walked in front, and Nian Xia helped Xichun, who was still pumping, to follow behind, and returned to Zhaoyun Palace.

Under the green shade, Zhaoyun, who was half-leaning on the soft collapse, took his eyes off the poetry book in his hand and looked at the two people who were following Mingcui.

Looking at Xichun, who was messy and his face was red and swollen, Zhaoyun frowned, and secretly sighed in his heart that they seemed to be arguing more fiercely in this life.

Putting the book aside in his hand, Zhaoyun opened his mouth and asked, "Xichun, do I want you to get the ice cubes?" ”

"Back to the princess, I was delayed on the road before, and most of the ice I got turned into half of it. Later, I went back to ask for it, but the damn woman didn't give it anyway. Hee-chun was still sobbing quietly.

Of course, Zhaoyun knew why she was delayed on her way.

This Xichun is usually very lazy, and he is very slippery. In her previous life, she learned that she was on the way back from taking ice, so she found a shady place to rest and fell asleep, and when she woke up, most of the ice melted. But I was afraid that she would be punished, so I went back to find Mrs. Qian.

Zhaoyun didn't bother to demolish her, and sent them away after a few words.

Ming Cui, who was still standing aside, suddenly asked curiously, "Princess, you don't seem to be surprised that they can fight." ”

The smile on Zhaoyun's face instantly froze at the corner of his mouth, and he said a few words casually, which diverted the little girl's attention.

In her previous life, she severely punished Xichun and Nianxia, and later they secretly hated her. In this life, she is too lazy to care, the wicked have their own wicked grinding.
