Chapter 16: Something Awkward
Xiao Yi hoped that the prince would be able to call Xue Yi with his mouth, but who knew that Xiao Yichen had the heart to make Xue Yi suffer a little. Xiao Yichen saw Xue Yi walking away, and got into the sedan chair by himself.
Xue Yi was angry in her heart, and she planned to walk back to the palace, but after walking for a while, she realized that she didn't know where the palace was!
Xue Yi, who has been confined to the attic since childhood, looked at the streets and alleys in front of her, her head was dazed for a while, and she had the heart to go back to find Xiao Yichen, and she couldn't let go of the pride in her heart, Xue Yi slowly paced forward, the more she walked, the more sparsely populated, and the more she walked, the more she felt that the three-inch golden lotus hurt like fire.
Xue Yi really wanted to run away, but thinking about her father and Xue Wu, as well as the nurse who was missing in the palace, she had to grit her teeth and walk forward.
When Xue Yi hesitated, a big mansion with red bricks and green tiles appeared in Xue Yi's sight, it looked like the big mansion had the appearance of a palace, Xue Yi was happy for a while, and accelerated her pace, and when she arrived at the house, Xue Yi was stunned, the same stone lion and the palace, the same vermilion gate, the same sparsely populated, no one guarded the door.
Xue Yi saw that this house was plausible, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while, and secretly blamed herself for being sloppy in her heart, and she didn't even remember the appearance of the palace.
Xue Yi was wandering, and Xiao Yichen's dark but clear voice came: "Xiao Yi, you just stay here, don't go to that slut." Xue Yi heard that the voice came from the house, and she was annoyed for a while, and the meaning of the obedience must be that Xiao Yi wanted to go out to find Xue Yi, but Xiao Yichen did not allow it.
Xue Yi quickened her pace, walked up the steps, pushed the door in, but was stunned in place.
Xue Yi was angry for a while, left Xiao Yichen and went back to the palace alone, who knew that she was lost, and after looking for a long time, she found a big mansion that looked like a palace, Xue Yi stood in front of the mansion, and listened to Xiao Yichen's voice from inside in a trance, lifted her skirt and walked up the steps, pushed the door and entered.
Xue Yi walked into the door, looking at the somewhat unfamiliar environment in front of her, she knew that she had made a mistake, there was a row of magnolia flowers planted on both sides of the gate of the palace, and although this house was also fragrant with flowers, it was an extremely strong fragrance of flowers, Xue Yi had the heart to withdraw, but just now I heard Xiao Yichen's voice, could this be Xiao Yichen's other courtyard? Xue Yi guessed curiously, and walked forward involuntarily, and suddenly, Xue Yi stopped.
The voices of a man and a woman suddenly came from under the begonia flowers in the yard.
The woman's low and high laughter was a little special: "You have no conscience, when I don't know what you think in your heart now?" You must have taken me for that girl. ”
The man's voice was a little hurried but very sincere: "Beauty, I only have you in my heart, what does a yellow-haired girl know, I am for our future and our great cause." ”
Xue Yi was curious, and looked behind the flower tree, it was okay not to look at it, but this time, Xue Yi couldn't help but be distracted, and her face was red.
Taking advantage of the light of the moonlight, Xue Yi clearly saw that behind the begonia flower tree, Concubine Jing was disheveled and hugged a man together!
Xue Yi saw Concubine Jing's delicate face, and Concubine Jing also vaguely saw a person standing at the door, but she didn't see who it was, Concubine Jing hurriedly pushed the man and said in a low voice: "It's not good, someone is coming!" ”
Xue Yi also knew that Concubine Jing had discovered herself, so she was in a hurry, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Xing'er, where to run, I saw you." Xue Yi shouted as she turned around sharply and ran out the door.
Before Xue Yi ran out of the gate, a purple figure pounced on Xue Yi like an evil eagle, and at the same time, a black figure took the lead, picked up Xue Yi and flew up to the roof, disappearing into the night.
After a while, after the man in black made sure to get rid of the person behind him, he threw Xue Yi on the roof, and the man in black snorted coldly: "Hmph, I really think I'm very smart, if I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid you would have become someone else's knife, and you are also an apricot, cheesy." ”
Xue Yi saw that the man in black had no head and no brain, and sneered, and pouted and wanted to refute a few words, but thinking about it, the person in front of him was also his life-saving benefactor, and what they said made sense, if he hadn't appeared in time, he would have really confessed, seeing such an embarrassing thing, I am afraid that Concubine Jing and that man would never let her leave alive.
Xue Yi staggered to her feet, looked at the open space under her feet, dizzy, her little face turned pale, and she endured the fear in her heart, Xue Yi danced to the man in black: "The little woman thanked the strong man for saving her life, please leave the name of the strong man, and the little girl will be rewarded in the future." ”
When the man in black heard this, his big hand reached out to Xue Yi's chin, and he was about to touch Xue Yi's little face, Xue Yi dodged backwards, stumbled under his feet, and the whole person fell backwards, the man obviously didn't expect Xue Yi's reaction to be so strong, and hurriedly reached out to grab Xue Yi's little hand, dragging and pulling, the two fell on the roof, Xue Yi fell on the body of the black-clothed masked man, the man hugged Xue Yi, and joked: "Since you want to repay me for saving my life, why not repay it now, it's good to be my woman?" ”
Xue Yi was hugged by the man, anxious and ashamed, and her apricot eyes glared: "You-you still don't let go?" I am the princess of Chongqing, the princess who has just been canonized by the emperor himself, if you dare to make a mistake, I will definitely take your life! ”
Seeing Xue Yi's anxious white face, the man was not only annoyed, but laughed: "Who should I be, it turned out to be the famous Miss Lan, I heard that your prince is a cripple, why don't we follow the example of the person under the begonia flower just now, and the mandarin ducks fly together?" ”
Xue Yi saw that the more the man said, the more outrageous it became, her little face sank, she reached out and grabbed the man's mask, the man's head tilted back, Xue Yi took the opportunity to use her knees on the man's abdomen to force a little, took the opportunity to escape from the man's shackles, turned around and jumped, the man saw that Xue Yi was really moving, so he grabbed Xue Yi's wrist and took off his mask: "Miss Lan, I'm teasing you, you should be really annoyed." ”
Xue Yi turned around and wanted to have a seizure, and recognized at a glance that the man in black in front of her was actually the fifth prince, Xue Yi was stunned, and said with a heavy jade face: "Sister-in-law has thanked the fifth brother for saving her twice, but please also ask the fifth brother to remember the identities of you and me, and you must not be so frivolous in the future." ”
Xue Yi especially bit the fifth brother and identity, reminding the five princes that their behavior and actions should not be crossed.
The fifth prince laughed as usual: "What is the identity of what I said, what is my identity, I only know that in my eyes, you are a woman, I am a man, and my man likes you very much." ”
In the face of such a bold and straightforward statement of the five princes, Xue Yi lowered her neck and felt a sour feeling in her heart, what the five princes said was right, he was a man, she was a woman, but there was one thing that the five princes said wrongly, she was no longer qualified to like others or be liked.
Xue Yi sighed faintly in her heart, her jade face smiled, and she was quiet in her smile: "The fifth prince made fun of me, I am the wife of your second imperial brother, and the rosemary concubine who was personally sealed by your father and the emperor, I hope that the fifth brother will not make such jokes in the future." ”
Xue Yi ignored the five princes after speaking, and staggered towards the eaves by herself.
The fifth prince looked at Xue Yi's stumbling back and didn't chase after her, and said secretly in her heart: What a stubborn girl, I want to see how you can get off this three-zhang high roof without me today.
The fifth prince looked at Xue Yi's stubborn back, waiting for Xue Yi to ask for help. Ran Xue Yi is stubborn, although she is dizzy, she also gritted her teeth and moved forward, the glazed tiles on the ridge are smooth as a mirror, Xue Yi's three-inch golden lotus moved slowly, Rao is so, several times almost rolled down.
Seeing that she had rubbed against the edge of the roof, Xue Yi looked down and felt dizzy.
"Poof." A light laugh came from behind Xue Yi, and Xue Yi could hear that the five princes were laughing at her embarrassment.
Xue Yixiao's face was flushed, her silver teeth were bitten, her hands grabbed the branches that emerged from the eaves, closed her eyes and jumped. Xue Yi only felt that her body rose into the air, and when she opened her eyes suddenly, she saw the helpless handsome face of the fifth prince.
The fifth prince saw that Xue Yi would rather fall to death than ask him for help, but he couldn't bear to see Xue Yi fall, so he had to pick up Xue Yi at the moment when Xue Yi closed her eyes and jumped down. The two of them landed on their feet steadily, the fifth prince hugged his elbows, stared at Xue Yi with his sword eyebrows raised lightly, and asked curiously with a little lightness and teasing: "Where is my second brother better than me?" Am I not as good as him, and you should not hesitate to abuse yourself so much for him? ”
Xue Yi's red lips rose slightly, and she smiled lightly: "The fifth prince is handsome and chic, and his martial arts are so strong, why don't you have a stunning woman to match, why bother me with a hard worker." Although I am ignorant, I also know how to abide by women's morals, since I have married the second prince, I am born as a person of the second prince, and I am a ghost of the second prince when I die. ”
The fifth prince suddenly asked an inexplicable question: "What if one day, my second imperial brother gives you to me?" ”
Xue Yi didn't know why the five princes suddenly had such a strange idea, but she believed that Xiao Yichen would not give her to the five princes, if in the past, she was not sure, but now, she has decreed that the emperor has personally sealed the princess.
Xue Yi said lightly: "If there is such a day, I will not live in the world!" ”
The fifth prince obviously didn't expect Xue Yi to be so stubborn, he looked at the sky: "This is your palace, you can go in by yourself." With that, the five princes put on their masks, jumped on the roof and disappeared into the night.
Xue Yi took a long breath, and then realized that she was already in the palace.
Xue Yi looked around curiously, today's palace seemed to be exceptionally quiet, the huge palace pavilions were staggered, and Xue Yi couldn't find her bedroom for a while. Xue Yi had to look for it while walking, the moon was cold, the evening breeze was blowing, and there was a faint fragrance of magnolia flowers in the yard, and now back in the palace, Xue Yi was no longer frightened, and walked forward along the fragrance of flowers.
After a while, Xue Yi finally found a room with lights on, she hurriedly quickened her pace, and without thinking too much, she pushed open the hidden door and walked in with her legs raised. Walking into the carved wooden door, Xue Yi saw that this house was a two-room outhouse, and the lights were flickering inside.
"Come in." Xue Yi stood at the door, and before she could speak, the people in the house seemed to know that Xue Yi had come in, and asked to come in.
