Chapter Twenty-Seven: Concubine Li Falls into the Water
The emperor said in a surprising voice, "You sleep here tonight, don't go back!" I'm not going to do anything to you. ”
Do you want to be so gentle and considerate? Chu Shuyao was about to be moved.
After all, it's the first time. If she is returned, where will her face go? The emperor's approach is really a man! What a gentleman!
The emperor seemed to be very tired, so he lay down beside her and soon fell asleep.
At this time, Chu Shuyao was conflicted again, she didn't look bad, right? Nephrite is in his arms, he can still sleep so fast and sleep so dead?
Although Chu Shuyao thought so, she knew in her heart how much pressure she had as the king of a country.
It seems that this Mu Lingxuan is really tired.
On the second day, the people from the Shanggong Bureau came to pick up Yuanpa, and Jing Guiren happened to take the bed sheets he accidentally dyed as an explanation. The emperor acquiesced.
Jing Guiren returned to Biluo Palace in a small sedan chair, and in the side hall of Biluo Palace, everyone in the palace was waiting for her, and as soon as she went back, they began to congratulate her in unison. As for what to congratulate her, because the content is vague, it is naturally inconvenient to say. But who doesn't know?
Jing Guiren also knew, and it was precisely because he knew that he was even more ashamed. Only God knows, the emperor knows, and she knows.
She said she was tired, so she went in to rest.
The palace people knew why the nobles were tired, so they didn't bother.
Looking at the knowing expressions of the palace people, Chu Shuyao felt that her goosebumps were rising.
Lying on the bed, when she had nothing to do, she remembered that yesterday the emperor seemed to have said, "No wonder the Seventh Prince asked me for you?" It turns out that he has known this sentence for a long time".
What did the Seven Princes already know? Why did he ask the emperor for her because of this? What's the connection?
She racked her brains to think about it, but she couldn't figure it out, sure enough, the two brothers of the Mu family were not ordinary people!
The royal children of the Tanglin Kingdom are really "unfathomable"!
Yesterday it was a hot day, and she thought it should be about to rain, but yesterday she had been looking forward to a day of rain that did not fall, but today it did.
She stood in front of the window, looking out through the open window, there was a banana tree planted in the yard, it was strange, it was late autumn, and the leaves had not yet withered yellow. The raindrops fall on the plantain leaves, roll into crystal clear small droplets, follow the lines of the plantain leaves, slowly slide down, and when the gravity is enough, they drip on the ground without hesitation and mix into the rain.
Sure enough, although banana leaves can condense raindrops into beautiful droplets, that is not the destination of rain.
The water droplets fall to the ground and merge with the rainwater. Eventually, they ran together to the creek and then converged to the magnificent sea.
The smell of humidity and freshness in the air is refreshing.
"Yuzhuo, bring an umbrella, I'm going out for a walk." Jing Guiren commanded with great interest.
"Your honor, it's raining outside, and it's not good if you catch a cold. Why don't you wait for the rain to stop before going out? Yuzhuo persuaded with kind words.
"What's the point of waiting for the rain to stop before going out? Stop nagging, go get an umbrella! ”
Mama Kong saw that Jing Guiren insisted on going out, so she asked Yurun to follow. With two palace maids with convenient legs and feet, she can also rest assured.
Jing Guiren went straight to the pond, after all, she had been thinking about "leaving the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain"?
She had already seen it, but the lotus leaves in the pond were still there? And it didn't clean it up.
Standing on the edge of the pond and appreciating it, I feel that the artistic conception is always a little less satisfactory.
If only there was a small boat. You can go boating on a rainy day.
Thin raindrops fell on the surface of the water, stirring up circles and circles, and endless ripples appeared.
There are even red carp jumping out of the water.
The scenery, the taste, is really beautiful.
Chu Shuyao knew the reason why the fish jumped out of the water. It's nothing more than a rainy day, and there is not enough air in the water. The fish need to jump out and breathe.
But Yurun, a girl who doesn't usually talk much, exclaimed today.
"Look, it's a red carp! The carp jumped over the dragon gate, which is a good sign! Look, noble! Yurun was very excited.
Chu Shuyao asked with a look of disbelief, "Yurun, where did you hear this home remedies?" ”
As soon as he heard the word "home remedies", Yuzhuo laughed directly.
Seeing that no one believed what she said, Yurun became anxious for a while, and was busy explaining, "It's true, I really heard the old people in the countryside say this." ”
"Noble, you have to believe me. This is definitely a good sign, a good sign for you, your nobles. ”
Looking at Yurun's resolute and secretive expression, Chu Shuyao wanted to call her a god operator. However, she still said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I hope it's a good omen, borrow your auspicious words!" ”
"Definitely." Yurun said it again stubbornly.
Concubine Li came from the imperial study, and the palace maid cautiously followed behind and held an umbrella for her.
"It's fine, it's raining now, it's really annoying." Concubine Li carefully lifted the corners of her skirt and complained impatiently.
Because Concubine Li wanted to see the emperor, she put on a set of Yunjin skirts. Yunjin is expensive and gorgeous, if it is wet by the rain, it will be a pity.
The road was slippery on a rainy day, and Concubine Li didn't stand firm and almost slipped, but fortunately, the palace maid behind her quickly helped her.
Concubine Li lost face, and scolded angrily, "Something that is dead, don't you know how to support the palace?" ”
Because the palace maid was in a hurry to help Concubine Li, the umbrella in her hand deviated from the direction, and Concubine Li was drenched in a lot of rain.
So Concubine Li had another seizure, "You can't hit an umbrella, what's the use of you?" ”
The palace maid trembled and pleaded guilty, Concubine Li glared at the palace maid and warned, "Go back and clean you up." ”
Concubine Li also felt that it would be bad to get wet with her clothes if she was delaying time here for a palace maid.
Concubine Li was not such a temperamental person, mainly because she waited in the imperial study for a long time, and the emperor did not see her. In the end, she asked the little eunuch to give her an umbrella. Isn't this a clear push to go?
The more Concubine Li thought about it, the more angry she became, and she saw a few people standing by the pond from a distance.
I was thinking that it wasn't just the palace maid in the palace who was scolded by the master, and she was here for fun? took a closer look, only to find that it was the master and servant of the Jing nobles.
Seeing this Jing nobleman, Concubine Li became angry.
At the moment, she didn't care if her skirt would be rubbed by muddy water, so Concubine Li walked over with a hum.
"Mother." The palace maid behind her called softly, wanting to stop Concubine Li's behavior. was stopped by another palace maid, who shook her head at her. The palace maid stopped making a sound.
They know Concubine Li, and they can't persuade her. will also be scolded.
Concubine Li walked fast, and the palace maid with the umbrella trotted a few steps to follow. She hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, she saw that Concubine Li's skirt was already stained with muddy water.
When she went back, Concubine Li had to lose her temper again.
"Noble Quiet." Concubine Li shouted, but she had already arrived in front of Jing Guiren, and was about to run towards Jing Guiren, but her feet slipped and she rushed straight towards Jing Guiren.
Jing Guiren's eyes flashed, and he quickly dodged Concubine Li's steps. Concubine Li didn't stop Jing Guiren, and planted straight into the pond.
Jing Guiren watched and exclaimed, "Concubine Li! ”
With Jing Guiren's exclamation, followed by a thud, Concubine Li fell into the water.
"Help! Help me! Concubine Li struggled in the water, splashing in all directions.
Jing Guiren was busy hiding far away, and ordered the palace maid beside Concubine Li, "Hurry up and save Concubine Li!" ”
But the palace maids didn't know how to water, and none of them rushed down to save people.
Concubine Li splashed in the water for a while and drank a lot of water.
"Come on! Concubine Li's mother fell into the water. ”
The palace maid exclaimed, and after a while, the patrolling guards came over and rescued Concubine Li from the water.
After Concubine Li was rescued, she was already dying of fright and drowning, but she didn't forget to glare at Jing Guiren fiercely.
Jing Guiren immediately asked with concern, "Concubine Li, are you okay?" Why are you so careless! On rainy days, the lake is even more slippery, and you are still walking so carelessly. ”
Concubine Li glared angrily, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Seeing Concubine Li's deflated appearance, Jing Guiren was happy in her heart. Concubine Fang Cai wanted to push her into the water, but she avoided her.
And Concubine Li's inertia was too great to pounce forward, and she couldn't stop for a while, but she couldn't steal chickens and rice.
Jing Guiren was going to leave just like that, but the concubine behind him actually bit back.
"Jing Guiren, why did you push this palace into the water?" Concubine Li's voice is hoarse!
She pushed? Jing Guiren stopped.
This Concubine Li is really going to bite back!
If she had known this, she should have kicked her down, lest she be accused of this crime in vain.
Concubine Li looked at her with fierce eyes, then smiled at her, and was surrounded by the palace maids and left first.
After all, it's late autumn, and the taste of being soaked is not pleasant.
Yurun's eyes were red in a hurry, "Nobleman, what can I do about this?" How could Concubine Li say such a thing? ”
"The mouth grows on her body, and she can say whatever she wants." Jing Guiren said coldly.
"Noble, let's go see the emperor now. The noble man first made it clear to the emperor that it was not you who pushed Concubine Li. Yu Zhuo quickly calmed down and gave advice to Jing Guiren.
"No, at this time, Concubine Li has not complained to the emperor. If we had said it first, it would have seemed that we were stirring up trouble. And it also seems that we are weak-hearted, so we reported to the emperor early. ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"Wait, wait for the emperor to come to us first."
"Concubine Li told the emperor that the emperor didn't believe us, so he came to ask us. If the emperor doesn't ask, why should we do more? ”
"If Concubine Li complains to the emperor, how can the emperor not ask?" Yuzhuo is still worried.
"Don't worry too much, the emperor is not a fool. How can you let others deceive you? And what kind of person Concubine Li is, the emperor knows better than us. ”
Jing Guiren planned to go back and rest first, but it hadn't reached the point of burning his eyebrows anyway.
I finally had a good interest to go out for a walk, but I encountered such a disappointing thing.
She wanted to go back, and Yuzhuo and Yurun followed.
A figure suddenly sprang out from behind the bushes, startling Jing Guiren.
Yuzhuo is about to shout "catch the assassin". Fortunately, he hasn't shouted it out yet, otherwise he would have offended the Seventh Prince.
"Jing Gui's heart is really big! I'm going to be sued, so I'm not in a hurry! The Seventh Prince gloated.
Chu Shuyao was very helpless, why did she keep meeting the Seventh Prince? It's really haunting.
"Thank you for the reminder of the Seventh Prince, the concubine knows it in her heart, so she won't worry about the Seventh Prince." Jing Guiren's tone was detached, and he was about to leave after speaking.
The Seventh Prince smiled leisurely, and talked to Jing Guiren about the conditions, "This king has seen the scene just now." This king can testify for the noble people. Of course. ”
The Seventh Prince's words changed, "This king can also choose to testify for Concubine Li." ”
"Presumably, Jing Guiren himself knows that no matter what the truth of the matter is, as long as it is said by this king, it is the undoubted truth."
Jing Guiren also laughed, "Sure enough, is this the national law of the Western Chu Kingdom?" Where is the royal law? Princes and nobles, is it the law of the country? ”
The seventh prince was scolded, but he was not angry or anxious, "Jing Guiren is really sharp-toothed, but this king should kindly remind Jing Guiren that his sharp teeth are not as light as a few words from this king." ”
"Thank you for the teachings of the Seventh Prince, I still have something to do, so I won't chat with the Seventh Prince."
Jing Guiren ignored the provocation of the Seventh Prince, and left directly.
