Chapter 36: The Bamboo Horse
"Please, no money. Next time I want to come out, put the scabbard on the wall, I see it, and I'll be waiting for you below. Do not run around. I'm on duty in the palace, and you go home. ”
Yi Su held a meat skewer in his mouth, a heavy sword on his back, and a heavy scabbard, stepping on his shoulders and climbing up the wall, still confused, "Why?" ”
Jin Qi looked up at her under the wall and shook his head with a sneer, "Stupid." There are many traffickers in Chang'an, and I love to kidnap stupid eggs like you to go to restaurants to fry leeks, you know? ”
Yi Su didn't know much about Chang'an at that time, although he knew that Jin Qi was fooling himself, but he also kept an eye on it, and went to Yi Ciyu to knock on the side.
Yi Ciyu said fiercely: "Your father burned people and money in wars, and your brother ran around asking for money and soldiers, how many people our Yi family offended outside, have you counted?" ”
Only then did Yi Su gradually understand the undercurrent of Chang'an, and only then did he understand how bad it would be for the Yi family if he became a fish and a fish. After that, she often squatted under the wall and pulled weeds to play, and only climbed up the wall when Jin Qi called "stupid" outside.
Jin Qi laughed at her: "Clumsy." ”
Yi Su knew what he was doing, and he could at least count the flowers among the women in Chang'an, and he was far from being "clumsy", so he didn't care at all, he walked with his head held high, and took advantage of Jin Qi's inattention, slipped half an alley to buy wine, and was dragged away by Jin Qi by the back collar, "How old are you, what kind of wine do you drink?" ”
She protested: "I can drink three jars of pear blossom stuff!" ”
The pear blossom brew outside the plug is a well-known spirit, and the people of Chang'an have almost only heard of it, and few people dare to touch it. Jin Qi smiled angrily, stretched out the tip of his finger, and showed her the nail cover, "Such a big jar? ”
Yi Su snorted, grimaced at him, and ran back to buy wine. Jin Qi was afraid that she would go crazy with alcohol, so he waited in fear, but as a result, Yi Su smacked his lips, very regretful, and commented: "Sugar water." ”
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it had been a long time since Yi Su first met Jin Qi, who had just crowned the king of Fengqu and built a mansion outside the palace, so there was no need to go to the palace to see his face. The Yi family was about to have a banquet, and Yi Su was about to return at night, sat on the wall, turned around and asked him, "Little prince, where are you going for the festival this year?" ”
Jin Qi looked at her with his arms crossed. Under the warm moonlight, the sharp facial features seemed to be covered with endless loneliness and gentleness, and his smile was even more like light, pointing to his cheek, "Flower-faced cat." ”
Yi Su hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it, and sure enough, his face was stained with wall ash. Yi Ciyu knew that she often ran out and didn't interrogate her, but she never tried her way out. She hurriedly wiped it, stuck out her tongue, and jumped off the wall.
The Yi family is a big family with hairpins for generations, and on days like the Mid-Autumn Festival, the clansmen always arrive extraordinarily. A large family knelt down and received the dishes given by the emperor at the palace banquet, and Yi Su was carried by Yi Fuming and worshiped the elders one by one.
At that time, she had a small face that was full of snow, but she was tall, with slender limbs, and the seventh uncle said: "The little girl will naturally be tall when she plays martial arts, and this is the general's credit." ”
Yi Fuming said with a smile: "What a little girl, I think it's a skinny monkey, spending clothes and shoes, and her brother's military salary has been used up by her." ”
Yi Su lowered his head to eat snacks and did not speak.
The nineteenth aunt looked a little worried, and her slender fingers traced Yi Su's long eyebrows, "Little Yi Su...... It's a big beauty embryo. ”
Yi Fuming suddenly retreated, patted the back of Yi Su's head, and told her to play with her cousins.
Later, Yi Su learned that at that time, Emperor Ping's suspicion of Yi Wuzheng was already extremely heavy, Yi Wuzheng was a master of high merit outside, and he did not have a handle in the hands of Emperor Ping. The Yi family was in danger, but they were helpless, and it was the nineteenth aunt who was the first to propose to send Yi Su into the palace.
Emperor Ping is mediocre, and the loyal ministers and good generals who are calculated like this are not only the Yi family, but also more than one family who send their daughters into the palace.
However, Emperor Zhu's concubine in the palace was a woman snatched by Emperor Ping from his brother's inner courtyard in her early years, relying on that vigorous affection, although she had a bowl of water on her face, she loved to "cultivate" beautiful women for Emperor Ping, but secretly controlled Emperor Ping's side very strictly, and no one could get close to Emperor Ping.
However, Emperor Ping really liked the woman he snatched, and later only the daughter-in-law of the Wei family was on Emperor Ping's side, and she also took brass scissors to stab - that is a later story.
At that time, Yi Su didn't understand this, and only pondered that Jin Qi's big tiger was celebrating the festival alone this year, and he was probably very lonely.
She had been with her cousins until the middle of the moon, and when everyone was asleep, she took out a pot of precious pear blossom brew that had been hidden for several years from under the bed, and secretly climbed over the wall.
The Fengqu Palace, which was in the south of the city, heard Jin Qi talk about the location, and slipped over in the dark. Naturally, there was a heavy guard outside the palace gate, and she went around the courtyard with a big grin and climbed over the wall, landing lightly, "Hey-"
Before the words fell, a cold fell on his neck, and the sharp cold blade pressed against his neck, "What person?" ”
She blinked, and then she saw that the courtyard of the palace was brightly lit, with lotus lamps floating in the water song, glass lamps swaying all over the corridor, and all the people were people-Jin Qi's guests. There are weak sons, bearded men, black-clothed swordsmen, hairpin-flowered scholars, and flute girls.
It turns out that this guy has a wide range of travels, so extensive.
Everyone in the audience looked at her, and Jin Qi, who was sitting crookedly on the flower boat, also looked at her in a daze. Yi Su held the jar of wine, so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet but didn't want to stomp his feet, his face was red, Jin Qi finally reacted, pushed away the wine case on his lap and stood up, "Bai Bin!" ”
His movements were a little chaotic, causing the chayote, golden grapefruit, and bronze wine cup on the wine table to fall into the water and sink with a clatter. Bai Bin let go of his hand when he heard this, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But Jin Qi was still standing in place, looking at Yi Su in surprise, as if she shouldn't be here.
Of course, she really shouldn't have been here.
In particular, you shouldn't be wearing a messy night robe here, and the corners of the robe are half exposed under the corners. didn't steal a little Yi Ciyu's rouge, and didn't have a hairpin for a small flower......
Yi Su felt a nameless fire blowing up, and left with the wine jar in his arms.
The woman with the hairpin covered her mouth and chuckled. Her voice is not young anymore, but it is very charming, and she can squeeze out a pool of spring water in one word. Probably she pushed Jin Qi: "Little prince, chase after it." ”
But Yi Su went all the way out of the palace gate, and Jin Qi didn't catch up.
Yi Su ran half of Chang'an City with the wine jar, feeling that he had no strength at all, so he casually turned an alley, squatted against the wall, squatted for a while, simply sat down, rubbed his face, and didn't know what he was crazy about.
After a few more moments, she buried her face in her knees, not wanting to know that she was depressed. She didn't know Jin Qi at all. He is Jin Wuwei, and he is the little prince who is in the limelight, even the emperor looks at him differently, and he himself has countless supporters, how can he be as lonely and lonely as she thinks?
But what's so sad about it? Why is she so sad?
Yi Su didn't know how long he had been stunned with his face hidden, but in short, he finally found out of the wine jar, planning to pat open the mud and drink the baby before going home. A tiger's paw reached out and hooked the jar away, "Isn't it for me?" What is it if you drink it yourself. ”
Yi Su turned his head suddenly, and Jin Qi squatted next to her, looking inquiring, not knowing how long he had been looking at her.
Her face turned red, annoyed and angry, "It's not yours anymore!" ”
Jin Qi didn't let go, "It's mine." ”
"It's not yours!"
"Mine."
Yi Su couldn't snatch him, he took away the wine jar, pushed him hard, and got up to leave. However, after too long, her legs and feet were numb, and when she touched the ground like a needle prick, she gritted her teeth and hissed.
Jin Qi stood up and pulled her sleeve, very nervous, "Broken foot?" ”
Yi Su pulled out his sleeves and stomped his feet angrily, "It's not ...... What's the matter with you!? ”
Jin Qi grinned and smirked. This person is good-looking, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he can turn his popularity upside down, "What's the matter with me?" Nonsense, you sneaked out in the middle of the night to spend the holiday with me, and what you do in the future is none of my business. ”
How unreasonable this man is!
Yi Su was angry, shook him off and walked forward. Jin Qi carried the wine jar in one hand, walked quickly and squatted down in front of her.
He crouched in her way, and Yi Su asked stiffly, "What are you doing?" ”
Jin Qi squatted on the ground honestly and didn't look back, "It's my mother's old friend." My mother's concubine is the death day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they are not here to accompany me for the holiday, only you. If you're not angry, let me carry you home. If you're still angry, I'll visit you tomorrow, and you can't ignore me anyway. ”
Yi Su has heard that his mother seems to be a singer found by Emperor Ping among the people, and she was favored for a while, but unfortunately she was famous. Thinking about it this way, those people don't seem to be young, and they don't look like friends that Jin Qi will come and go.
Jin Qi's shoulders and back are broad, his clothes are neatly propped up, his narrow waist is very capable, and the sidecar is heavy and hideous, but under the moonlight, even the scabbard behind his waist is beautiful.
Yi Su continued to stand for a while, slowly leaned on his back, and whispered, "Don't go to my house." ”
Jin Qi stood up, hooked his arms around her thin legs, grinned, and said wildly, "Miss, don't worry, I'm going to go sooner or later anyway." What color do you like for the wedding book? ”
Yi Su's face was flushed, and he strangled his neck with the crook of his elbow, "Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Who said I was going to marry you? ”
Jin Qi was suffocated and didn't let go, "As I said, you have the ability to strangle me!" ”
The next day, he did come to visit. Yi Ciyu was like a great enemy, and thought that Yi Wuzheng and Yi Fuming had offended him, but Jin Qi just sent a cart of flowers and a few baskets of fat crabs.
In this way, Yi Ciyu was even more confused, and played with him in the front hall. Yi Su stomped his feet angrily behind the screen, pointing at him to make a lip shape, "Get out!" ”
