Chapter 32: The Prodigal Prince
The garden was a little quiet for a while, as long as the emperor didn't say that the case was closed, no one could escape here. Jing Yao looked at the figure that had been kneeling for a long time, and couldn't help clenching his fists under his cuffs, and was about to come forward, but someone came first.
The man was dressed in a silver-red robe, and he was wearing a folding fan with a portrait of a beauty in his hand, and he looked a little cynical. When he walked by the side of Daishui, he deliberately stayed for a moment, but because he lowered his head, Daishui was stunned and couldn't see the faces of the people who came.
"Father, my son never thought that this woman was actually from my Beixi Palace, I don't know what she has done, and she can't afford to kneel here for a long time." The man's words were full of surprise.
Jing Yao saw the person clearly, a pair of ink eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly, and Zi Mu's eyes were inexplicably filled with a chill, and a look signaled to the woman behind him, and left directly. It seems that the temper of these six highnesses is also notoriously difficult to deal with, they come when they want to come, they can leave when they want, and they don't take the emperor in their eyes at all.
It hurts to kneel with water and legs, and I don't know what the person means, but I always feel a little familiar when I hear his words.
Emperor Xuanye cleared his throat and asked, "What, aren't those few in your palace enough for your pastime?"
The person in front of him was not in a hurry, but he stayed by the emperor's side for a long time, and a woman with gorgeous clothes and beautiful accessories shook her waist and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of Yi'er, you don't know that I sent those maids to serve him."
This woman's soft and boneless appearance will inevitably feel pity when others see it, and Emperor Xuanye's expression softened a little, and motioned for him to continue.
"Five days ago, Erchen and the four sons of the capital went to Yuzhou to go to the Yaji Poetry Meeting, and happened to meet Mr. Shao, and asked him to bring this calligraphy and painting to his father and the emperor, and to appreciate the interest of our literati."
After that, the subordinates on the side respectfully presented the calligraphy and painting to Gonggong Wei and let him unfold it.
There was an uproar for a while, only to see that the handwriting was deep and ancient, straight and thick, and the strokes showed the posture of Xiangluan dancing the phoenix, Xuan Ye looked at the calligraphy and painting in front of him with great interest, and there was a hint of praise between his eyebrows.
The woman next to her immediately understood, and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that Shao Gong's true deeds are rare, and it is even more rare to see the old gentleman after sealing the pen, Yi'er, this child really has a heart."
The prince continued, "The trip to Yuzhou can also be described as dangerous, the child has an old illness, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor happened not to be with me, but fortunately I met this girl in the restaurant to help me stabilize my heart", while speaking, the man paused, and looked sideways at Daishui, "I left in a hurry, I didn't ask about the girl's name, I don't want to be a person in my palace, I Beixi is really within ten steps, there must be fragrant grass." ”
Xuan Ye was attracted by the calligraphy and painting, and the person in front of him was able to speak well, so he was in a much better mood, and said to Daishui, "You get up and talk, is this really the case that night?"
Daishui didn't dare to slack off, and stood up a little staggeringly, "Back to the emperor, the slave and maid did heal a strange man that day." It's just that, Yu Li, I was originally an errand for the royal family, so I shouldn't have treated unrelated people without authorization; In love, I am still in the boudoir, and it is not polite to meet men privately at night. The slave and maid have no way out, so they can only be silent."
Xuan Ye seemed to be a little disturbed by this matter, so he immediately ordered Gongsun to strictly investigate the thieves and poisoners, and then asked the palace masters to take their apprentices back to receive the punishment, so he scattered everyone stupidly.
The night's farce had just ended, and the group with water knelt quietly on the cold stone road, waiting for those noble dignitaries to leave one by one.
At this time, a small servant walked over and commanded in Daishui's ear, "Girl, my prince is invited."
Daishui was suspicious for a while, except for some friendship with Jing Yao in the palace, she didn't know any other princes, and if Jing Yao was looking for her, she would never be summoned through the little girl, who was it... The figure of the man who helped her out of the siege just now inexplicably came to mind.
On the other side, after Jing Yao greeted Xuan Ye, he walked straight to Daishui, but he didn't find her anywhere.
It just so happened that Gongsun came up somehow, hooked Jing Yao's shoulder and asked, "Brother Jing, when will I arrange for Qingpu's matter, I really have to do my best to eat milk for you today."
Jing Yao pinched his eyebrows, as if he turned a deaf ear, and his starry eyes were not angry and arrogant, "What about her."
Gongsun gloated a little, and mended the knife, "Where else can I go, I was just called by your second brother's people to catch up on the old days."
Jing Yao was inexplicably a little irritated when he heard this, and flew away from here with a light footstep, leaving Gongsun Xuan alone in place with wide eyes and small eyes.
...
I followed the little maid all the way to a pavilion in Li Garden, and the man sitting in the pavilion was wearing a silver and red robe, it seemed that it was the person who was right, and he was busy bowing his head with water, "Today's matter, thank you Your Highness, the slave maid is really unrequited."
The man put away the folding fan in his hand, seemed to be smiling, and suddenly approached and said, "If you really want to repay, be my warmer." I haven't seen each other for a few years, but the kittens are getting more and more beautiful."
Daishui was startled by this familiar laughter a few times, raised his head and looked at the handsome face in front of him, and his memory returned to the Agarwood Valley that year, it turned out that the thin man who let her guide the way on the day of the autumn hunt was actually the prince of Beixi.
Ziyi seemed to be very satisfied with the villain's reaction, and couldn't help but smile, "It seems that you forgot me cleanly", unfolded the folding fan while speaking, and inadvertently revealed the ink painting on it, only to see a man and a woman sitting under the tree chatting, the tree is like the ginkgo tree on the top of the agarwood valley, and the woman's face looks more and more like water...
Daishui was a little cramped for a while, and seemed to be not very comfortable with this sudden acquaintance, but he was grateful in his heart that he was willing to wade into this muddy water to help her get out, but fortunately, the arrival of a subordinate broke this temporary embarrassment.
The "master", this subordinate was thoughtful, and because of the presence of others, he did not continue.
The second prince seemed to have something urgent, and simply chatted with Daishui Pan for a few words, and then let her go.
On the way back, Daishui was still minding the title of the second prince by his subordinates just now. After the incident of the Six Princes a month ago, one night she re-walked the palace road in order to catch clues... If I'm not mistaken, that night she accidentally overheard the conversation between a master and a servant, and the subordinate at that time also called another person by the word "master", could it be that there is a connection between the two things, I hope I thought about it too much...
On the other side, after Concubine Zhao returned to the dormitory, she rubbed her eyebrows, and her eyes suddenly revealed a trace of ruthlessness, which was completely different from the weak and delicate appearance in Fang Cai Garden. She glanced at the personal maid beside her, and her tone was not good, "Go and check, what is the origin of the woman that Yi'er protects."
