Chapter Twenty-Seven: Forced Retention

It rained last night, and when I got up in the morning, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the dusty eaves of the previous days were also watered by the rain, and the floor under the porch was soaked in water, and a few little girls squatted on the ground and wiped the water little by little.

When Sisi pushed the door out, she was already dressed in brocade. This time, you must wear gold and silver when you enter the palace.

She was wearing a floor-mopping peach-colored wide-sleeved fairy dress, lined with a fashionable material in Kyoto City this year, although thin but not transparent, embroidered with a plum blossom pattern on her chest, tied with a jade pendant rewarded by His Majesty around her waist and a string of tassels forbidden to walk, walking around the ring.

The bangs in front of the forehead are neatly combed, the hair is pulled into a double bun, and the small hairpins made of butterfly oysters and freshwater pearls fall on both sides, and the sun shines brightly.

"Go and let Wang Er drive the carriage to the back door, and the main county will enter the palace!"

Ju Brew hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Why does the county lord want to enter the palace today, it is better to discuss with the princess, and don't act privately." ”

Before he could speak, Mei Zhi hurriedly came, saying that it was a post from the palace.

"Who made the post?"

"It's under the fifth princess."

She has no friendship with the fifth princess, why does she think about asking herself to enter the palace today?

Anyway, he was going to enter the palace, that is, no matter what jackals, tigers and leopards were in the palace, he was also going to go on a journey.

Ju Brew was worried that Liu's mother couldn't leave, so Sisi took Zhuqing with her.

I didn't eat breakfast in the morning, and Sisi's stomach was a little rumbling.

Passing by Sanshi Street again, he smelled the fragrance of steamed buns, so Yang Wang Er stopped the carriage and bought two.

The buns are thin and stuffed and very cheap to ward off hunger, Sisi himself ate and did not forget Wang Er and Zhu Qing, the three of them drove the carriage to the side of the road and ate the buns.

Sisi sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, pulled her skirt into the carriage, leaned over slightly, and took a big bite of the bun.

When Wang Er saw Sisi like this, he smiled and quipped: "The county lord is worthy of being a heroine among women, and a big bun can be eaten in three or two bites, even we men can't do it." ”

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, after eating and go on the road, you can't stop your mouth when you eat."

Si Si Li solved the two big buns and burped comfortably. As soon as Wang Er raised his horse's whip, the carriage began to drive again.

In the morning, Kyoto City is very lively, and the shouts of the vendors often get into the carriages, and Sisi misses the feeling of this market very much.

I could also see several carriages hurrying in the opposite direction, and I don't know which lady or son was in a hurry to go to the academy.

The carriage drove steadily, and it didn't take long to reach the Wanchao Gate, and before getting off the carriage, Sisi sorted out his appearance and tried to make himself look more noble.

Zhu Qing got out of the carriage before Sisi, lifted the curtain and waited for Sisi to get off the carriage with thousands of manners.

There were a lot of guards standing in front of the gate of Wanchao, standing guard without squinting, this time the heat was unbearable, but the soldiers were wearing armor, and they didn't shake for a while, and their endurance was extraordinary.

Someone walked over from the door, and as soon as he spoke, Sisi recognized that this was Xu Fu, the commander of the Great Interior.

"It's the county lord of Chang'an?"

"Exactly." Zhu Qing handed over the post of the fifth princess to Xu Fu to take a closer look.

"Xu Fu greets His Royal Highness the county lord, Your Highness, come quickly, the sedan chair at the door has been prepared."

Xu Fu said respectfully, not like listening to him under the bed that day, with a tone of disdain on his mouth.

Sisi looked at the eunuch and palace maid hanging her hands at the gate of the palace, and then looked at Xu Fu, raised her legs and stepped onto the sedan chair.

The sedan chair carried Sisi into the Yixiang Palace of the pure concubine.

"Didn't you say that you went to the fifth princess's room, why did you carry it here?" Sisi was a little suspicious.

Mama Zhang was already waiting at the door, and when she saw Sisi getting off the sedan chair, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Your Royal Highness the county lord, our concubine Niangniang is waiting for you in the palace." ”

Sisi looked at the grandmother with her nostrils, ignored it, raised her foot and stepped into the Yixiang Palace.

Mama Zhang was not angry, she trotted two or three steps to catch up with Sisi in front of her, and led her to the side hall, and sure enough, Concubine Chun was already waiting here.

"Chang'an is here, come and show the palace, have you grown taller?"

Sisi rolled her eyes, this An Yunyun is afraid that he is mentally retarded, the last time he saw him was only more than a month, where can he grow taller, he will not pick and choose if he is really polite.

"Chang'an, please give the concubine Niangniang, please say goodbye," Sisi squatted quickly, and regarded this ceremony as if it was done.

The pure concubine was not angry, but just beckoned to serve tea.

"Didn't you say that Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess had something to do with Chang'an, why didn't she see her?"

"I went to the academy early in the morning, and I should not be back until noon."

"Didn't the princes' academy practice martial arts in the morning?"

"Exactly, Xiao Wu is quite interested in riding and archery, and he has been pestering his fourth brother to teach her these days."

It's really good, Sisi is faintly envious, and he also wants to learn to ride and shoot, I don't know if he will ask Li Yuanche to teach himself.

"Chang'an today into the palace is the idea of the palace, your mother wants to get married, no intention to take care of you, the palace begged His Majesty to take you into the palace, and you can be with Xiao Wu as a companion, you will live today, the palace should be complete, if you are afraid that the palace is not attentive, the palace will send someone to the princess's mansion to pick up the county lord's capable maid to come and serve."

This is the original intention of the pure concubine, to keep Sisi firmly before Xihe gets married, lest she spoil a big deal.

"The concubine is in love, I grew up outside the palace, the rules in the palace are too strict, Chang'an can't abide by it, I'm afraid I want to make jokes, or be more comfortable outside the palace."

"Where is the county lord, the county lord is the granddaughter of His Majesty, naturally she is a person in this palace, living in the palace is like returning home, how can you not feel comfortable?"

The pure concubine is also a good man today.

"All the old slaves in the palace have been tied, and they are guaranteed to be exactly the same as the princess's mansion!" Mama Zhang suddenly interjected.

Sisi, when I heard these two people, you said everything I said, as if I had concluded that I would definitely be able to keep her today.

She stood up with a snort, and the little hairpin on her forehead shook three times: "The concubine Niangniang is going to be forced to stay, if Chang'an has to leave the palace!" ”

She looked directly at the pure concubine angrily, and the pure concubine also looked directly at Sisi and paused.

"What's the matter, why did Yang lose his temper, did he not want to live in this old woman's palace, so he moved to 'Diancuizhai' to live with Xiao Wuyi, so he could be a companion, Chang'an, you see this is good."

Concubine Chun was actually faintly angry, she didn't think that this Chang'an county lord would be so faceless, a thirteen-year-old girl, she didn't fiddle with it much, how could she have an opinion.

"Not good! My princess's mansion is clean and elegant, and I can only sleep there" Sisi didn't let a single step, staring at the pure concubine.

"The old slave cleaned it up, and the girls in the palace were careful, even the ground under the bed, which was also wiped three times." Mama Zhang refuted two sentences out loud.

Sisi squinted and glared at Mama Zhang: "This hall is talking to the concubine Niangniang, where can you be allowed to interject as a subordinate, and I have interjected twice, if you speak again, I will let my subordinate Zhu Qing slap your mouth!" ”

These words not only saved Mama Zhang's face, but also seemed to be a slap in the face of the pure concubine!

Concubine Chun held back her anger, her shallot-like nails pinched into Bai Shengsheng's palm, she took a deep breath, and if she couldn't bear it, she would make a big plan.

She wanted to stay in the palace, in addition to being afraid of her bad things, she also wanted to use her as a threat to force Xihe to submit, so today she was determined to leave this county lord in Yixiang Palace.

"You step back first, make the county lord angry, go and get the board, and don't want to be an eyesore in front of the county lord."

Sisi understands the truth of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, if she is hard, the enemy will be afraid, hearing what the pure concubine said, she snorted from her nose, turned around and wanted to leave.

"The county lord stays!" Concubine Chun hurriedly got up and wanted to stop Sisi, but she turned around and left without thinking about it, and her tone became sharp.

Sisi looked at the palace people coming and going in the courtyard, although they had work in their hands, they all glanced at this side. Hearing this, everyone remained still, and their eyes were all looking at themselves.

"Concubine Niangniang, this is insisting on keeping me!"

I didn't think about it, I took the initiative to drill the wolf's den, I'm afraid I can't get out, the concubine Niangniang loves you to live in the palace, if you don't stay, wouldn't you not give the concubine Niangniang's face, and if you say it, you will be criticized for saying that the princess's house is not strict with her education, and Wanwan will be criticized.

was in a stalemate, when he suddenly heard a rumor outside, saying that the four princes had arrived.

Concubine Chun panicked: Oh no, why did this Li Yuanche come back so early today, if he inserted a bar, he would definitely not be able to stay with the county lord of Chang'an today!
