Chapter 8 The old Pa is a new wash, and the old man changes
The carriage was rolling and turning, but Tong Rou was like sitting on pins and needles.
Entering the palace? Don't say that when you enter the palace, you haven't even looked at her from a close distance.
She remembered that along the Qinhuai River to the east, after the lively Beishi Street, there was a government office. There are few shops there, and there is a stone tablet of civil and military officials dismounting. She and her sister had only been there once, and they could see the palace from afar.
Now he was sitting in a carriage, and the carriage was heading towards the golden palace. Tong Rou was very uneasy in her heart, but the female officer sitting in front of her looked cold and slightly impatient, and she had not made a sound since she got into the carriage.
"Big ...... The adult ......" Kirirou didn't know what to call it, and wrung the corners of her clothes nervously.
The female officer raised her eyes to look at her, and there was no trace of warmth in her eyes.
Only then did a palace maid in the corner speak up, "This is Lord Shi Chen, the Shangyi woman in the palace, who is honored as a female gentleman." ”
Tong Rou threw a grateful smile at the palace maid, and then said carefully to the female master: "Female gentleman, somehow send me...... Send me to the palace? ”
Chen Nushi's face was cold, "The first rule for entering the palace is not to say when you shouldn't speak." When you can, try not to speak. ”
Kirirou's mouth opened, and she had to swallow back the words that followed. She couldn't tell her father and sister until she figured out why she was brought into the palace.
The carriage had been gone for a long time, so long that Kiryu began to doze off. When the carriage stopped, she almost fell headlong into the arms of Chen Nushi on the other side.
Get off the car, but see the palace garden is continuous, the palace is heavy, and the glazed golden tile is flying in the pavilion. She had only read such magnificent and beautiful words on the scroll, but now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she knew that it was only one or two of the book's style, which really shocked her to the point of being speechless.
As Chen Nushi walked all the way, she walked to a palace where her legs and feet were weak. In a small pavilion in the garden, there is a woman sitting upright as if drinking tea.
Chen Nushi saluted, "Eldest princess, I am ordered to enshrine Miss Tongrou as the secretary of the Shanggong Bureau to record the female history and read it for the eldest princess." I just entered the palace today, and I haven't been taught by the Shangyi Bureau......"
Tong Rou didn't dare to raise her head, but she only heard a nice voice say, "It's okay, hard work female gentleman, step down." ”
Chen Nushi didn't say much, and after saluting, she led the palace maid and left in a hurry, leaving only Tongrou alone.
"Look up." The nice voice said again.
Tong Rou raised her head as she said, the woman in front of her was the same age as herself, but she was richly dressed and elegant, and a pair of wonderful eyes were looking at her.
"Do you know what a companion is?" The eldest princess asked.
Tong Rou was anxious, "No...... I don't know ......."
I can go to the women's hall to study, but my father and sister have saved money in exchange for reading? Reading is still accompanied by reading? I don't know if I want silver......
"Bold! As a female historian, I don't know why I read with you? A palace maid on the side reprimanded.
Tong Rou shuddered, and when she was about to speak again, she was already taken over by the eldest princess, "Okay, you all go down, you stay." She looked at Kirul.
The palace maid on the side rushed out, and for a while only the two of them were left in the small pavilion.
Tong Rou was nervously thinking about how to deal with the eldest princess in front of her, but she suddenly strode in front of her and held her hand, "Companion reading, reading is secondary, companion is important." The eldest princess smiled and said, where is there still half a point to be dignified and reserved.
Kirirou was stunned, "Ah...... This ......"
"In private, you can just call me Nanping." The eldest princess pulled her and walked out, "Let's go, it's been boring for a long time, accompany me to go fishing......"
Tong Rou hesitated, "Don't you need to read?" ”
"Qiankun Lang is all learning, why stick to books......" Nan Ping's feet sped up, dragging her straight out......
Under the shade of the tree, Tong Rou looked at the eldest princess of Nanping, who was concentrating on fishing with great interest, and she was really not happy.
What's going on here? Why did I meet that boy by the lake that day, and a few fierce people, I was first imprisoned, and then sent to the palace. Now it has become the companion of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess should be the younger sister of the saint today, and the county lord of Nanping is the youngest sister of the saint. I once heard the female gentleman mention that this Nanping princess is clever and intelligent, and the saint only has two young sons, so he is especially fond of her......
Thinking of this, Tong Rou felt that the eldest princess in front of her seemed to have a good temperament, and maybe she could ask her to help her get out of the palace as soon as possible......
"Why didn't you take the bait?!" Nanping shouted, pulling Tongrou's mind back.
Tong Rou looked over and saw that there was only a lump of japonica rice on the hook, and she squatted by the river to dig up a few worms and put them on the hook, "Try this." ”
Soon the fish was hooked, and Nanping happily threw the fish ashore, using a little too much force, and the fish flicked its tail and flew straight into the bushes in the distance behind him.
The palace maid on the side was busy wiping the water on the eldest princess's head and face, and Nanping shouted: "Tongtong help me pick up the fish......"
Kirirou went into the woods with her skirt in her hand, heard the fish jumping on the ground, and followed the sound.
Behind the tree sat a man, with his back to her, looking down at the fish struggling at his feet.
Tong Rou hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "This fish was caught by the eldest princess, can you return it to ......?"
The man seemed to notice that someone was behind him and turned around.
Tong Rou saw the person's appearance clearly, and was stunned, "It's you?" ”
That day, in the forest, covered by the moonlight, the son who was as warm as jade.
He stood up, his body swaying a little, and his face was confused, as if he did not recognize her. His gaze did not linger on her face, and fell straight into the forest behind her.
That's when she smelled a lot of alcohol.
"I don't believe he'd do that......" he seemed to be talking to her, and as if to himself, "why did he do this......
Tong Rou looked back, there was no one else, and turned to him again, "Gong...... Childe, why are you here? ”
Only then did Zhu Yunwen put his gaze into practice, looked at the little palace maid in front of him, and hesitated for a moment before coming back to his senses. Before she could say anything, she took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to him.
"Childe, I have washed this veil, thank you Childe for helping that day." She looked up at him, the color of the clouds.
He stretched out his hand to take it, and almost immediately recognized that this handkerchief was originally the fourth uncle Zhu Di's.
At that time, he should not be able to recite the book and be punished for kneeling outside the East Palace, and he was ashamed and secretly sobbed in his heart. The fourth uncle happened to come in, and he didn't say much, but only handed him this handkerchief......
The fourth uncle was different from the rest of the uncles, which is why when Qi Tai asked to cut the head of the Yan king, he couldn't make a decision. It's not just because King Yan has a heavy army to defend the northern frontier, nor because he has no fault because of his great military achievements......
In the past, the two of them were not what they are now, but like ordinary uncles and nephews, close and inseparable......
"It's different...... It's all different......" Zhu Yunwen muttered, and his body shook again.
Tong Rou was a little stunned, she had been carefully carrying this veil with her, and it was no different.
"Did I take it by mistake......" She reached out to take it and look at it again, but he reached out and took her in his arms.
"Wrong...... Am I wrong......" He whispered in her ear in a helpless tone.
Tong Rou was so frightened that she wanted to break free, but when she heard him say this, she didn't feel that her heart softened, and she forgot to struggle, "No, no...... Childe is not wrong, but I am wrong......"
At this time, Zhu Yunwen felt that the warm fragrant nephrite was in her arms, and she whispered softly in her ear, and her heart was agitated for a while, and she couldn't help but get close to her face......
Suddenly I heard a call from not far away, "Kirino History?" Where is the female history? The eldest princess is looking for you to go back......"
He hurriedly let go, and soon disappeared behind the bushes, leaving a confused Kiri Rou still in place.
When the man walked away, Tong Rou came back to his senses, and he was ......
