Chapter 13 Entering the House Late at Night
The guests dispersed, and the festive colorful lanterns were still hanging high in the courtyard, but the air pressure in the main hall was terrifyingly low.
Xia Guogong sat on top of the position, the right position on the left hand side was empty, the lower right hand sat General Xia, the eldest princess, Xia Yunxuan and Xia Yunsheng, and the lower left hand sat Old Lady Jin, Xia Shaowen, Xin Sihan, and Xia Yuqi.
In this mansion, Xia Shaowen's sense of existence can be described as extremely low, even if he meets him on weekdays, he is just a simple greeting, in Yunshang's impression, this uncle is a taciturn person, to be quite elegant, and occasionally pass by his courtyard and hear the sound of flutes. It's just a pity......
Yun Sheng looked at Old Lady Xia's face and sighed slightly.
"Jin, Xin, Xia Yuqi, do you know what is wrong!" Xia Guogong's eyebrows were furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, Xia Guogong has been fighting horses all his life, although he has gradually faded out of the military camp career, but the cold atmosphere that has been cultivated all year round has not diminished at all, the three of them are deep boudoir women, where can they stop such a momentum, Xin Siqi and Xia Yuqi couldn't help but tremble, and Mrs. Jin was also frightened and smashed the tea cup in her hand.
"Defying the royal family, openly contradicting it, greedy for gifts from the emperor, and even pretending to threaten suicide! You guys are so daring! Xia Guogong's right hand slapped the table heavily, making a loud "bang" sound, everyone in the second room was frightened to bloodlessness, and Mrs. Jin was shocked by Xia Guogong's words as soon as she asked for mercy: "From today on, everyone in the second room will be removed from the Zhenguo Mansion." ”
"What! It can't be like this! Why! Xia Yuqi broke free of Xin Sihan's hand, rushed to Xia Guogong and yelled: "They belong to the Guogong Mansion, aren't we!" But if you can say a few words, you will be treated like this, the son of the world is theirs! Now you won't even be given a place to stay, you! It's just that I like who they are! Pantu royalty! Xia Yuqi angrily pointed at the eldest princess and Xia Yunshang and shouted.
"Second sister, grandpa is ......" Yunshang said in embarrassment
"Shut up!" Xia Yuqi roared angrily: "It's all you!" It's all you! If it weren't for you, I would be the granddaughter of the Guogong Mansion! ”
Xia Yuqi's talent was originally taught by Chu Mengxi, and now that it touches her own interests, where can she be calm.
A crisp slap sounded, Xia Yuqi covered her red cheeks and looked at her father who had always loved her in disbelief, tears kept rolling in her eyes, "Father......"
Xia Shaowen pulled Xia Yuqi aside, knelt in front of Xia Guogong and said, "Thank you uncle for raising and cultivating for so many years. After speaking, he knocked his head three times.
"Shaowen! Shaowen, are you crazy? What do you call your father? Old Madam Jin hurriedly wanted to pull Xia Shaowen up, but was pushed away by Xia Shaowen: "Mother, maybe you think I was young and unclear at the time, but I clearly remember my biological father and my aunt even more clearly!" ”
"You ......" Old Madam Jin raised her right hand tremblingly, gasping for breath, "Shut up!" ”
"Originally, I had already agreed with my uncle a few days ago that as soon as Yunshang's birthday passed, I would move out of the Zhenguo Mansion in another courtyard." Xia Shaowen said in a low voice.
"What!" Not only Mrs. Jin, but also Xin Sihan and Xia Yuqi were shocked, with round eyes, as if they didn't know Xia Shaowen at all.
Yun Sheng was stunned for a moment, silently looked at his father and grandfather, saw that the two of them looked as usual, and sighed slightly in his heart, it seems that the two of them have already known, Yun Sheng sighed slightly and looked at this uncle who was not very familiar with him, thinking that the uncle must know in his heart what it means to leave the Guogong Mansion, but the uncle has already said that he wants to open another mansion, it must be to get rid of the protection of his grandfather and father, and he wants to break out of the world by himself.
"No! I disagree! Xin Sihan roared, "How did the lady of the middle side of the house promise me when I married into the mansion that day!" I won't leave the country even if I die! ”
"Sihan" Xia Shaowen was disappointed, his heart was extremely depressed, Xia Shaowen knew that his identity was embarrassing, and he had always been very considerate of Xin Sihan, even if he had to accept the room under the pressure of Mrs. Jin, but because he was afraid of Xin Sihan's feelings, he never gave him favor, but now Xin Sihan said such a thing, did he leave the light of Zhenguo Gong, even his wife.
"Why are you in charge! Say what to open another mansion! I'm not going! I am the second lady of the Zhenguo Mansion! Xin Sihan shouted angrily.
"Presumptuous!" Xia Haoyu slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily to several people: "The second brother has his own hills and valleys in his chest, and he should not ask for full support, but he should also work with one heart and one mind, you actually did this!" ”
"Open the mansion tomorrow, and you must not disobey!" Xia Guogong lost his patience, looked at Mrs. Jin and her party in disappointment, waved his sleeves and left the main hall, Xia Haoyu and others also lost their willingness to stay, and left one after another, there were only a few people left in the second room in the main hall, looking at it and feeling that there was no room for redemption, Mrs. Jin slowly left the main hall with a disappointed expression, leaving only Xin Sihan's sharp questioning and Xia Yuqi's incessant crying.
"Madame Side?" Mama Wu looked worriedly at the old lady Jin who was sitting alone in the main room of Lanfeng Garden, if she left the Zhenguo Mansion tomorrow, then all these years of planning would be counted?
Old Madam Jin narrowed her shrewd eyes and asked in a low voice, "Xin Sihan said that he wouldn't leave the Zhenguo Mansion even if he died?" ”
"Yes......" Mama Wu frowned and replied, "Madame is dizzy, don't mind Madame." ”
"No~ I don't mind at all, and thank her......" Old Madam Jin withdrew a cruel smile and said slowly: "Aren't the medicines all ready?" ”
Mama Wu was startled, lowered her voice and asked, "Tonight?" ”
"Hmm~Tonight~" The candlelight in the main room was lit, and as the evening breeze cast a ghostly shadow on the ground, the words of Mrs. Jin and Mama Wu were faintly heard, and the courtyard was silent.
……
"Miss, rest early, I'm really tired this day." Zijuan said softly
Yunshang looked up at the moon outside and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It's time to go back to Miss."
"Well, let's rest," Yunshang pressed the corner of her eye and said, "I don't know why I always feel that there will be an accident, and my heart is a little uneasy." ”
"Isn't Miss overthinking?" Zijuan said with a smile
"Maybe......" Yunshang sighed slightly, today's events were a little more than expected, I didn't like the robbery of Old Madam Jin and Xia Yuqi, but I still couldn't bear to let them go out of the house for another time, I think grandpa also knew about his uncle's plan before making this decision.
Yunshang was served by Zijuan and lay on the bed, watching the pink rhombic bed curtain slowly lowered, gently closing her eyes, maybe because she was too tired, and after a while, there was an even breathing sound. Zijuan carefully closed the window, extinguished the candle next to the bed, and gently retreated. The night gradually fell silent, the moon hid in the clouds, and the people in the house fell into a sweet sleep.
"Squeak~" After a soft sound, a black figure pushed open the window and landed beside Yunsheng's bed. A bony hand gently pulled up the curtain of the bed, looked at the person on the bed gently, carefully sat on the edge of the bed, and took off the silver mask on his face.
"Is it my fault today?" The moonlight crossed the clouds and sprinkled on the handsome face, it was Shangguan Jinqi on the 10,000-year-old iceberg, and where did Shangguan Jinqi look like an iceberg at this moment, dripping water clearly and softly. Shangguan Jinqi stretched out her hand to brush Yunshang's delicate skin, and smiled at the corner of her mouth.
Yunshang was still sleeping unsteadily, her brows furrowed from time to time, and she looked at Shangguan Jinqi a little distressed. Stretched out his hand to smooth out the frowning brows, but he didn't want his fingers to touch Yunsheng's forehead and meet the crystal eyes, both of them were shocked, Shangguan Jinqi hurriedly put on the silver mask to hide his appearance, and this action made Yunsheng, who was still a little vague just now, wake up, and opened his mouth to call, but Shangguan Jinqi covered his mouth.
"Does the princess think it's the princess's voice that is fast, or my hands are fast?" Shangguan Jinqi asked coldly
Yunshang has seen it for a while, but there is no movement outside the room, thinking that Zijuan and they have not found anything abnormal, and they don't know how to martial arts, so~
Yun Sheng nodded, pulled the hand covering his red lips with both hands, blinked his eyes to show that he knew, and the man in black slowly let go of his hand, not wanting Yun Sheng to bite it directly.
"You ......" "Woo...... I...... Not intentionally...... As soon as you are nervous...... Your Excellency, you won't blame me~" Yunshang said pitifully.
Knowing that she was maliciously retaliating, she couldn't get angry, but she was flustered by the warm touch just now, Shangguan Jinqi looked at the ground that Yunshang had bitten just now, and a small bite was imprinted with a neat row of tooth marks, looking at ...... It's a little cute~ Shangguan Jinqi only felt that she was crazy, and the room fell silent for a while.
Yun Sheng looked at the man in black staring at his hand in a daze, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Your Excellency came here late at night, isn't it just to waste time here?" ”
Uh~ I just want to waste time here, Shangguan Jinqi slandered me. "Well, the princess is calm."
"Your Excellency can bypass the guards in the house, escape the sight of the maidservants, and come directly to my bedside to think that martial arts are good, if you come to take my life, I am afraid that I am now a corpse." Yunshang said indifferently, "I just don't know what happened to Your Excellency?" ”
What's the matter? I can't say it, because I miss you, because I'm afraid that you will be angry with me, because I know that Mrs. Fang is pretending, so I deliberately want to go to Lan Fengyuan.
"I'm here to work with the princess, I wonder what the princess wants?"
"Cooperation?" Yun Sheng raised her eyebrows, "How to cooperate?" ”
"I don't see that there are no secret guards around the princess, but there are always dangers, and I am willing to give the princess two secret guards to protect her." Shangguan Jinqi said in a low voice
"Dark Guard?" Yun Sheng was shocked, it costs a lot to cultivate a secret guard, a qualified secret guard is like a sharp sword, two secret guards, who is this? And putting the dark guard by one's side is tantamount to planting a chess piece around oneself.
"Why are you doing this? What's more, how can I be sure that the Dark Guard won't hurt me? Yunshang asked suspiciously
"If I want to hurt you, why do I need to be a secret guard." "And what do you want?" "You don't need to know this now." "It's not fair, what if I can't give what you want?" "Rest assured, my request will definitely be given by the princess."
"Really? What if I refuse? Yunshang asked with an eyebrow.
"Then I might as well go to the eldest princess now." Shangguan Jinqi said coldly
"You're threatening me?" Yunshang said angrily, "No, I'm telling the princess a fact. And the princess rest assured, as long as the princess can agree to my request, I will definitely protect the princess. ”
"But you don't want to say it now?" "Now is not the time, and the princess will know when the time comes. How is it? ”
Yunshang stared at the silver mask and beat a drum in her heart.
This person is very strong, and she really needs a secret guard at the moment, but can such a secret guard be used by her? Do you really want to work with him? If the conditions he proposes are harmful to the government or ask for a tiger talisman, then? After coming over for a long time, Yunshang shook his head and said, "I refuse." ”
"Why?" "With your skills, it is easy to get in and out of the mansion, and there are secret guards, and you must have a lot of power, so your requirements in the future must be very ......."
"What if I say I want green grass?" Shangguan Jinqi said slowly.
"You know ......" "Not only do I know, but I also know that the seeds of the Biluo Grass are placed in the Hundred Life Locks that the princess carries day and night together with the Tiger Talisman." Yun Shang's pupils shook violently when he heard this, and he knew ......
