Section 3 Leaving the Palace (3)
I panicked, and the two guards also stood nervously on either side of the prince. Xiao Cui looked remorseful, and wanted to hit herself twice in the mouth.
For a moment, it seemed that even the air froze.
The owner of the cricket looked us up and down for a while, and after rolling his eyes a few times, he fell to his knees with a bang, raised the cricket cage high, and said: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I don't know that the prince and the princess have arrived, and they really deserve death!" It is a great honor for the small cricket to be liked by His Royal Highness the Prince. The little one offered this cricket to His Highness, hoping that His Highness would accept it with a smile. ”
That stupid kid actually said, "Really? I took it with a jump. I'm so anxious, in the winter, in a cold sweat and with gold stars in my eyes. In an instant, countless thoughts turned in my heart.
The identity of the crown prince has been revealed, what if there is danger? Can these two guards stand up? Today's incident will definitely become explosive news, I am afraid that it will be at the top of the Luoyang news list in less than two hours, and maybe it will soon reach the ears of the emperor, so all my previous efforts will not be in vain? The last banquet had just received some results, and it had convinced the dead old man surnamed Wei. Now that the prince has appeared on the street to see the crickets, he even took out three thousand taels of silver on the spot to buy a cricket worth at most two hundred taels.
In this way, the prince's reputation is over, and my career as a crown princess is estimated to be coming to an end.
Alas, Xiaocui's dead girl, who is usually very clever, is a quick mouth, and today she actually made such an irreparable mistake.
What to do?
Really reward this guy with 3,000 taels of silver? Or, a little more, buy him as tight-lipped? Or, just don't do anything, let the two guards drag him to the mass grave and stab him, and completely wipe him out? But here is full of people, more than mouth, who can buy it? And whose destruction has it been?
I guess my eyes were rolling around at that time, and when my eyes finally settled, I smiled at the guy who offered the crickets and said, "Thank you very much." Then he glanced at Xiaocui and said, "Hurry up!" He took the prince's hand and ran away.
Seeing that Xiaocui and the two guards were still stunned, they turned around and shouted, "Hurry up and leave, are you stupid?" ”
Xiao Cui panted and asked: "Why do we want to run, even if we don't bargain, we can't afford to pay three thousand taels, why are we like thieves, steal and run?" ”
"Hehe, we're thieves."
"I didn't hear you clearly. Also, where are we going now? Cui asked as she gasped.
"Let's go to the next cricket yard. This time I want to be fast, and I don't watch the game, and as soon as I go in, I ask people to buy crickets. Then, you quickly 'reveal' our identity. If they are still as interested as they are here, we will accept another "tribute", and if they refuse to offer it, we will leave immediately."
"Miss, what kind of fame are you doing, I'm almost confused by you."
"Dead ...... Dead girl, I'm cleaning up the mess for you, you say. "I was out of breath too.
Turning his head and looking at the prince again, my God, the little idiot was so excited that his face was flushed, and his eyes were bright and he looked at me and said, "Nanfeng, we are being thieves, aren't we?" We stole someone else's cricket and ran, so much fun. ”
Enjoyable? "You ......," I don't even know what to say, "what kind of expression do you have, is it a glorious thing to be a thief?" Besides, we didn't do it at all, we didn't do it at all, it was someone else who offered it on their own initiative! ”
"That's right, then when it comes to the next field, we don't want others to give, it's boring to give, we'll steal, and the stolen ones are really enjoyable."
Yes?
Heaven that! Please bless and bless the people of our Jin Kingdom, and look at what young master they are with.
When I finally found another place to fight crickets, I turned back to the two guards and said, "You two go quickly to find a carriage with a curtain and tell him to wait near the cricket arena." ”
The two guards were confused, but they agreed one after another.
Soon, the same scene played out again. This time, this person also took the initiative to offer crickets. We also picked up the crickets and left, and sat in the carriage waiting for the side and roared away.
This guy who offered crickets was also stupid on the spot. How good these people's original wishful thinking is, they think that they take the initiative to offer crickets, and the prince and princess are in the way of face, not to mention a little more, at least the thousands of taels of silver they asked for are embarrassed to bargain with them, so won't they get rich? You can eat and drink spicy food for the rest of your life.
But they didn't expect that this prince and princess would be so faceless, and they would take their crickets and leave? Is there anything so funny in the world?
At this time, the people around will begin to discuss, doubting the true identity of the "prince" and the "princess", and on the other hand, they will not give up on the two people to go to the Taiwei Mansion to ask for a reward.
Thinking of this, I urged the driver in front of me again: "Master, hurry up." ”
Hurry up, and soon we reached the entrance of Wuyi Alley, and we trotted all the way again, entered the back door, and then sneaked into the room.
I had just taken off my clothes and lay down in the quilt with the prince, and my father had already sent someone to inquire about it.
I only heard Xiaocui say at the door: "The crown prince and His Royal Highness the crown princess are resting inside, what do you want to do, let's come back later." ”
The person who came said, "There is someone at the door who is asking for money, saying that the prince and the princess have taken their crickets." ”
Xiao Cui smiled suddenly: "There's nothing wrong with them, the crown prince and the crown princess have been sleeping in the room all afternoon, how can they get their crickets?" Could it be that they will be doppelgangers? ”
The man saw that nothing came of it, and left.
After a while, my father himself came. I quickly got up from the bed and asked Cui to open the door.
When my father came in, he saw that I was disheveled, and the prince was still sleeping motionless in the bed, and I already believed that this matter had nothing to do with us, so I said with a worried face: "Dad, the prince drank a little wine at noon, and he has been drunk until now and has not woken up, I don't know if it matters?" He drank so badly that he got drunk like this with a little bit of wine. ”
The father looked into the bed and saw that the prince's face was flushed (of course, he had run all the way back), and hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Go and bring a bowl of sobering soup for the prince to drink!" ”
My father is gone, and I don't know what will happen to those two people.
