Chapter 57: Choosing a Concubine (Second Watch)
Xiao Qing asked incomprehensibly, "Picking up the moon?" ”
That day in the suburbs of Beijing, she only saw a black shadow, and it is estimated that the people in black did not look at her.
Chu Yunsheng wasn't sure if Xiao Qingjue was pretending to be crazy and stupid, or if she really didn't know, she said, "On that day, the horses you robbed in the suburbs of Beijing were the horses in my carriage, and the women who were abducted were the moon beside me. ”
Xiao Qingjue was a little distracted, and Chu Yunsheng raised his voice to interrupt his thoughts, "Don't tell me, the man in black who appeared on the outskirts of Beijing that day was not you." ”
During this time, the capital had not heard of a second assassin.
Xiao Qingjue realized something and defended, "It's me, but I don't know, the carriage is yours." ”
"Needless to say, you owe me two lives." Chu Yunsheng quickly took over the conversation, not wanting to listen to Xiao Qingjue's explanation.
Both times, she was almost killed by Xiao Qingjue. Probably in the last life, there was a blood feud with Xiao Qingjue, otherwise why in this life, Xiao Qingjue put her in danger several times.
After a quiet moment, she asked, "You robbed the moon from me, should you explain this matter?" ”
She helped Xiao Qingjue get out of danger twice, but Xiao Qingjue robbed the moon, isn't this too much!
Chu Yunsheng felt that Xiao Qingjue should be able to find out in his conscience. Who knew that Xiao Qingjue said, "I admit that I robbed the girl of the moon, as for the rest, I have nothing to say." ”
Chu Yunsheng's teeth itched with Xiao Qing's attitude, and there were a few angry words in his stomach, which he couldn't say or swallow. Xiao Qingjue saw her angry, and lowered her eyelids like a sigh, "Miss Yue is not as simple as you think, and it is not a good thing to stay by your side." ”
A thought flashed through her head, and before she had time to ponder it, she blurted out, "You are too busy to take care of yourself, when did you worry about me?" ”
In the past, she thought that when the man in black robbed the horses, he saw that the moon was dusty, and he took the moon away; Now that she heard this, she was sure that the abduction of the moon was definitely premeditated for a long time.
Who knows the identity of the moon, who knows that the moon is by her side, and who knows when she will return to the capital......
The suspicion in her heart became clear little by little, she should have thought of it a long time ago, didn't she!
After a long time, she asked, "So, is Chuyue still safe now?" ”
They took a lot of trouble to rob the moon, how could they return it easily, now, what else did she ask for?
May the moon be safe!
Under Chu Yunsheng's gaze, Xiao Qingjue slowly said two words, "Safety." ”
Chu Yunsheng relaxed slightly.
But the moon is in their hands, where is there any long-term protection! "You owe me two lives, I only have one request, whether the moon is useful to you or not, you must keep the moon safe."
Xiao Qingjue was amazed, "You are willing to do this for the remnants of the previous dynasty." ”
Sure enough, because of the identity of Chuyue, Chu Yunsheng didn't want to say anything more, "You just say, can it!" ”
"Okay." Xiao Qingjie nodded firmly. He originally wanted to explain the affairs of the suburbs of Beijing, but looking at Chu Yunsheng's face, he didn't know how to speak. At the beginning, if you had asked more: "Who is the person in the carriage", there would have been no surprises, let alone rumors.
The cool breeze swept by, cooling down the otherwise hot summer day. The two lotus flowers that stand tall in the pond are blown off a few petals, the edge of the lotus leaf is blown up by the wind, the water in the pond is still covered by the lotus leaves in the pool, and the waves are still not visible, but the sound of the water can be heard inadvertently.
The two sat in the pavilion for a long time, and finally Xiao Qingjue spoke first, "I heard that after the queen returns with all the daughters, there will be a poetry party, will Sister Pingyang go!" ”
Chu Yunsheng's eyebrows bulged, "Choosing a concubine for the Seventh Prince, Pingyang is going to join in the fun." ”
"You go, I'll choose you, how?" Xiao Qingjue focused all his attention on Chu Yunsheng's face, not letting go of the slightest fluctuation in his expression.
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng's whole body froze, and she pulled out a quiet smile at Xiao Qingjue, "If Pingyang doesn't go, if the Seventh Prince wants to choose Pingyang, there is a way, isn't it!" ”
"That's what I said." Xiao Qingjue nodded, "The poetry tasting meeting is just a general look, and it is not necessary to select the princess at the poetry tasting meeting." “
After speaking, he paused for a moment, and said to Chu Yunsheng, "You go, I will choose you; If you don't go, I won't choose. ”
Chu Yunsheng blinked curiously, "Don't choose Pingyang or don't choose the princess?" ”
"The princess is to be chosen, but not necessarily at the poetry tasting meeting."
Chu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, if it was the latter, then her sin would be great, "The queen invited, Pingyang will definitely not be able to refuse, but Pingyang doesn't want to leave his hometown." ”
"If Sister Pingyang doesn't want to go, there is always a way." After speaking, Xiao Qingjue got up from the white jade pier, and happened to meet Cardamom holding the jade pendant and walked over here.
Xiao Qingjue took the jade pendant, "The jade pendant has been found, Qingjue will leave first, Sister Pingyang think about it." ”
Looking at Xiao Qingjue's departing figure, Chu Yunsheng was in a trance.
Go and become the princess of Xiao Qingjue;
No, as Xiao Qingjue said, the princess may not necessarily be elected at the poetry tasting meeting, but at least show her attitude.
Why didn't she remember where she offended Xiao Qingjue in her previous life, and nothing good happened when she met Xiao Qingjue in this life.
Cardamom whispered, "County Lord, just now Cardamom clearly saw the jade pendant in the corner of the pavilion, and Cardamom found it under the banyan tree over there. ”
Chu Yunsheng looked along the cardamom point, the banyan tree was a hundred steps away from here, and the skill of moving things through the air was so good.
As a prince, he pretended to be an assassin and infiltrated the palace, and escaped from the capital with Gu Changling.
Cardamom was still struggling with the jade pendant, she smiled and said, "Maybe that jade pendant really has wings and can fly!" ”
No longer in the mood to stay in Hanlian Pond, Chu Yunsheng quickly returned to Changle Palace.
The Queen Mother was very well-informed, she returned to her room, and the stool here was not hot, so the Queen Mother called her over.
It is nothing more than a serious statement, Beidi left his hometown and had no relatives.
It is impossible for Chu Yunsheng to go to Beidi, but the Queen Mother is kind, so she can listen patiently for the time being.
On the third day, I heard the news of the queen's return to the palace.
On the day he returned to the palace, he sent someone to Changle Palace to send an invitation, saying that the seven princes of Beidi came to the court and held a poetry tasting meeting in the imperial garden.
Chu Yunsheng received the invitation, glanced at it lightly, and then focused on the notebook under his hand.
The day after receiving the invitation, that is, on the day of the poetry meeting, Chu Yunsheng got up late as always, and Cardamom shouted nervously, "The poetry meeting is about to start, the county lord hurry up and dress up, if you are late, it will become the focus." ”
Yesterday, the Queen Mother finished talking to her and asked her to keep a low profile at the poetry tasting meeting; This morning, Cardamom came back to her ear to nag.
Chu Yunsheng was upset when he heard this, pulled the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep.
No matter how lively the imperial garden is, she just wants to nest on the soft couch and dream.
