Extra: Cats and Dogs (2)
The princess was in a dilemma, she didn't want to brush off the master's intentions, and she didn't dare to really hit the prince, so she could only persuade: "Niangniang, for the sake of this beautiful flower, spare these two ignorant children." ”
Xu Shuyi glanced at her with a smile and said, "Well, since you don't dare to do it, there are others who are willing to do it for you." ”
She glanced at a low-ranking female official behind the female official Wang, and the female official immediately understood, rushed forward, and slapped the dog with a slap.
The cat was furious and shouted, "Stop! ”
At that moment, he seemed to exude a fierce momentum, not like a child, but the true dragon qi, and the majestic momentum emanating from the future emperor, swept over.
The low-level female officer was startled by his roar, but when she saw Xu Shuyi's threatening eyes drifting obliquely, she quickly collected her mind and continued to slap it.
The cat was so angry that she pointed at her and said, "You dare to ......!" ”
Xu Shuyi smiled: "Why don't I dare? I'm not just going to hit him, I'm going to hit you. ”
Seeing that this matter was not easy to clean up, the princess Wang hurriedly and quietly gave one of her cronies a look and ordered her to find someone to help.
The cat said angrily: "You dare? Don't you dare! ”
The low-ranking female officer had already beaten half of the dog's face to red and swollen, and the dog asked stupidly and depressedly: "I didn't wet the bed today, why did you beat me?" ”
The cat's heart is sour, in the past, Mama Lin was tired of the dog's young age, and would wet the bed, so she always scared him, if she wetted the bed, she would beat him, but he was afraid, and he was even more diligent in peeing, that is, now he is seven years old, and he still occasionally wets the bed, which is really embarrassing.
The dog barked, "Brother, it hurts ......"
The cat's heart hurt so much that she bent her legs, knelt down, and said softly to Xu Shuyi: "Niangniang, don't beat my brother anymore, let's beat me......"
Xu Shuyi was extremely happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Now you believe that I dare to beat you, since you are so brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers, how can I be biased, naturally I want to fight both." ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, another palace maid who was not afraid of death stood up, stretched out her hand and waved it in the cat's face.
When the cat felt that the slap really hit his face, it didn't hurt much, but it was hot, arousing the irrepressible anger in his chest.
When the Son of Heaven is angry, he is naturally ambushed by millions of corpses.
However, he was just a cat, he was so weak, he could only clench his fists, glared at Xu Shuyi hatefully, and said: "If there is a coming day, I will repay this revenge a hundred times." ”
After all, he is still a child, and he doesn't know how to hide his edge.
Xu Shuyi was also frightened by his terrifying resentful eyes, and secretly thought in her heart, since this feud was settled, it was natural to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
After all, he "didn't know" that these two were princes, and if they were just ordinary palace people, it wouldn't be a big deal if they were executed.
She made up her mind, so she ordered the palace people to stop, and said with a smile: "It's not fun to always slap your face, let's go have something interesting." ”
The two palace people dragged the two princes and Xu Shuyi with them without saying anything, leaving only the princess and the princess in a hurry.
At this time, the little palace maid who reported the news came back, and the princess asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The little palace maid said: "Your Majesty said that it would be handed over to the queen to deal with, and then the slave went to find the queen's mother, but the queen mother said that this is Your Majesty's child, and it is naturally handled by Your Majesty personally." ”
What the? The heart of the princess is half cold, and the queen is okay, is Your Majesty old and confused? If Xu Shuyi is allowed to do it, I am afraid that the two remaining princes of His Majesty will not even be able to save their lives.
Your Majesty, what are you thinking? Is it really okay to have no children?
Lady Wang was in a hurry and said, "Let's go, let's go find Hu Shuyuan." ”
Hu Shuyuan's status in the palace is only a little higher than Xu Shuyi, and the two are both one of the nine concubines, but Hu Shuyuan is not as favored as Xu Shuyi, I am afraid that if the two of them really talk, Xu Shuyi is not afraid of her at all.
The little palace maid couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why do you think Hu Shuyuan would ask about this?" ”
The princess didn't speak, but hurriedly walked towards the palace where Hu Shuyuan lived.
At that time, the palace had not been renovated by Xie An with a lot of money, it was very simple, and the distance between several palaces was also very close.
Fortunately, Hu Shuyuan has always been idle and didn't let her wait long, and quickly ordered her to come in, and asked with a smile: "Why do you have time to come to me today?" Don't you want you to serve? ”
Lady Wang really didn't want to say such nonsense, but she had to reply respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, our Niangniang is already Xu Shuyi." ”
Hu Shuyuan's eyes froze, and she sighed: "Since Your Majesty has a newcomer, it is naturally extremely favorable, and he will not remember us old people who have lost the emperor and lost their color......
Lady Wang didn't care about accompanying her anymore, so she hurriedly went straight to the point and said, "Niangniang save our mother, right?" ”
Hu Shuyuan exclaimed: "How can you say this? ”
Lady Wang hurriedly told Hu Shuyuan everything she had just done, and pleaded: "You are also a person who has lost a child, so you naturally understand the danger in this palace, and the slave maid is only afraid of those two children......" She didn't dare to say bad things about her master, but she understood the meaning very clearly.
Hu Shuyuan gave birth to Sima Yu and Sima Zhusheng, but they both died inexplicably when they were young, and the emperor did not thoroughly investigate the cause of death, which really made Hu Shuyuan heartbroken, and she no longer had any expectations for the emperor, only resentment.
Lady Wang was once a maid who served Hu Shuyuan, so she naturally knew how much she loved her children. Although it is rare for good people in this palace to have a good death, only Hu Shuyuan, who has a glimmer of kindness, can desperately save those two children.
However, Hu Shuyuan smiled and said, "Do you want me to offend His Majesty's favorite Xu Shuyi for the sake of those two children?" That's your master, what's in it for you? ”
Wang Nuguan smiled sadly at Hu Shuyuan, and the two of them remembered at the same time that they "couldn't be cured" and died in Wang Nuguan's arms, Hu Shuyuan's eldest son, Sima Yu, what a cute child he was, he couldn't laugh or dance, so inexplicably he had some "evil disease" and died.
Needless to say, only a mother who has lost a child can understand a mother's feelings of pity for her child.
Sure enough, Hu Shuyuan struggled for a long time before she finally made up her mind and said: "That's it, I don't say anything that can't be saved, I'll go with you to take a look." ”
Lady Wang's heart was relieved, and she didn't care about the courtesy, and hurriedly stepped forward to "help" Hu Shuyuan and hurriedly walked out.
Even if you want to go, you can't just go, Hu Shuyuan hurriedly ordered the female officials and palace maids in the palace to follow, and the group walked towards the imperial garden.
Even at this critical juncture, neither of them thought of going to find the child's biological mother, Li Lingrong, it can be seen that this unfavored palace concubine has no status, how sad her life in the palace is, not to mention her own children, even herself, Xu Shuyi will punish if she wants to, even if she called her, it was in vain, just one more person was humiliated.
The princess was anxious, but she didn't mess up, and while letting her henchmen and palace maids go to the side hall of Guishu to find someone along the same road, she took Hu Shuyuan's palace maids all over the imperial garden to find the two children.
Finally on the edge of Xuanwu Lake, the two saw the figure of a group of palace maids in the distance, one of whom was carrying a half-grown child in his hand, looking like a "dog".
Seeing that the child was fine, the two finally felt a little relieved, and it was inconvenient for the princess to come forward, so Hu Shuyuan took her palace maid and pretended to meet by chance and walked towards those palace maids.
Before he got closer, he heard a coquettish laugh and said, "Think about it, do you jump by yourself, or do I leave your brother down?" ”
Before Hu Shuyuan could make a sound, she heard a plop, and the water splashed in the distance, and it turned out that someone had jumped into the lake.
Although this Xuanwu Lake is clear, it is bottomless, and there are aquatic plants, even adult men who are used to playing in the water in the south of the Yangtze River have drowned in the lake.
Seeing this, Hu Shuyuan hurriedly shouted: "Save people, save people!" ”
In the land of fish and rice in Jiangzuo, there are naturally many people who know how to water, and the palace maid next to her is busy taking off her robe and about to go into the water.
At this time, the coquettish voice came towards Hu Shuyuan, and Yan Yan said threateningly: "Oh? I ordered the people who jumped into the water, but my sister wanted to save them? ”
Although Hu Shuyuan's rank is the same as her, the ranking is ahead of her, but Xu Shuyi is the emperor's beloved new favorite, and naturally has more status than her, but at this time she still calls Hu Shuyuan "sister", which is full of irony, as if to say, you "sister" with a vain name, why bother with mes?
Hu Shuyuan said embarrassedly: "It's just a child, why do you have to be like him." ”
Xu Shuyi quietly glanced at the princess who had disappeared for most of the day, and at this time secretly returned to the palace maid team, and said with a smile: "My sister has good eyesight, I can see clearly that it is a child from so far away, which really makes my sister admire." ”
Although it was only autumn at this time, the lake water was already cold to the bone, Hu Shuyuan saw that the child struggling in the water was gradually weak, his face turned purple, and he was no longer willing to go around in circles with Xu Shuyi, so he bluntly instructed his palace maid: "Save people." The palace maid on one side got the master's order, and hurriedly jumped into the water, and soon grabbed the back of the child's neck.
You must know that the drowning person cannot go to save him head-on, it is easy to be hugged by him, and both of them will drown.
This Jiangnan daughter is naturally familiar with water, and grabbed the back of the cat's neck with numbness, so that his hands could not be strengthened, so she swam back with him.
The dog was frightened at this time, but he still remembered his box of fruits, and just looked at his brother and cried stupidly: "Brother, brother...... Don't you die...... I don't eat any more...... I'll give it to you......"
The cat's mind was not clear at this time, and she only heard her brother's lovely words, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, silly brother, it's a snack, not a little bit......
He had been dragged out of the water, and his heart was relieved, and he fainted.
Hu Shuyuan ignored Xu Shuyi's angry eyes, and immediately said to the dog: "Which palace do you live in?" Why are you wandering around the palace? How can it be good to bump into all the mothers? ”
The dog was young and didn't understand Hu Shuyuan's pretending to be vicious, purely to save the two brothers, he could only say weakly: "Niangniang, we live in the yard with a big osmanthus tree, we really didn't mean to rush into Niangniang, and please forgive Niangniang......"
He spoke intermittently and unskillfully, his eyes were full of tears, and he stared at his brother in the arms of Hu Shuyuan's palace maid in a daze.
Hu Shuyuan felt pity in her heart, so she said to him: "In this case, you can take me there, I have to reprimand and reprimand these ignorant subordinates, how can you let the lowly children walk around and collide with the nobles." ”
She saw that the dog was very sincere, and she was afraid that he would shout something like "I am not humble, I am the prince", so when she said it, she turned her face to him and winked at him quietly.
Although the dog is stupid, but it is not stupid to the end, today his sentence of "father" has caused a great disaster, he doesn't dare to say that he is the prince or something like that, seeing Hu Shuyuan wink at him, although he didn't understand what he meant, he felt very kind, and couldn't help trusting her, and said obediently: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
Xu Shuyi saw that this matter was no longer good today, and saw that Hu Shuyuan did not accuse herself of mistreating the prince, but also pretended not to know the identities of these two children, and understood in her heart that the other party meant that she would not go to tell His Majesty.
She couldn't help sneering, and said sarcastically: "Sister Hu, you are really idle, you have to intervene in such small things, it can be seen that you are bored all day long, and you can only listen to some gossip." ”
She glared at the princess again, and then Shi Shiran left with everyone.
Hu Shuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that the cat's breath was dying, although she was rescued, her life and death were still uncertain, and she hurriedly ordered her female official to find an imperial doctor.
When I arrived at Li Lingrong's palace, I saw that Li Lingrong was in a hurry. She saw the dog jumping in the distance, although her face was red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been beaten, but she didn't care anymore, she could put her mind at ease, and at a glance she saw that the cat was pale and soaked, and was held by a palace maid.
Ignoring etiquette, she rushed forward and shouted, "Cat, cat......"
Hu Shuyuan coughed lightly, Li Lingrong came back to his senses, and saluted her respectfully: "The slave and maid see Hu Shuyuan's mother, I don't know how my two children annoyed the mother, and asked the mother to let go of the innocent child and punish the slave and maid." ”
Hu Shuyuan saw that she had misunderstood, but she couldn't explain it, so she could only say lightly: "When I passed by Xuanwu Lake, I saw this child calling for help, so I rescued him." ”
Li Lingrong didn't believe it, but he still made a grateful look and thanked her a thousand times.
Hu Shuyuan didn't say much anymore, and said: "I have already instructed the female official to call the imperial doctor, you can change the child's clothes first." ”
Li Lingrong was stunned and only looked at the cat in the arms of the palace maid, and at this time, seeing Hu Shuyuan's permission, he hurriedly stepped forward to take over the cat's thin body, only to feel that the tentacles were cold, without a trace of vitality, and couldn't help but feel sad, and couldn't care about etiquette anymore, so he rushed back to his palace with the cat in his arms.
Mama Lin also accompanied Li Lingrong to find a child for a long time, and when she saw her so rude, she couldn't help but apologize to Hu Shuyuan: "Niangniang, the Li family is just angry for a while, and asks Niangniang to spare her for the crime of rudeness." ”
Hu Shuyuan was peaceful by nature, she waved her hand disappreciatively, and whispered to Mama Lin: "Don't let these two children go out of the hall." Then he took his palace maid and departed.
Mama Lin looked at her departing figure, her face was a little sad, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad.
