CHAPTER XLIV

The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and in the huge imperial garden, you can see exotic flowers and plants everywhere.

We waited for the sun to bask in the breeze and enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. A few children chased and frolicked in the garden, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Who would have thought that at the banquet earlier, adults and children fought over each other and almost met each other.

If you want to say that the three Turkic princesses, although they are a little girl, they are not small, and they don't care about the rules in the palace, just keep themselves happy, have a straightforward temperament, and speak quickly. Look around, take a look, touch it when you're happy, lean in front of your nose and smell the flowers. Said to be an accompaniment, in fact, it was a follower, walking behind her, where the princess went, I followed her, her legs were almost lame, and the princess was still full of interest and didn't feel tired at all.

Think about the endless grassland in the north of the desert, accompanied by cattle and sheep all day long, there is no sunlight for most of the year, and I heard that the snow on the peak does not melt all year round, and the climate is very harsh. Or it is a yellow sand storm, and the fine sand in some places is blown by the wind all year round, and the wind blows less and less all year round, leaving gravel to cover the ground and eventually form a large desert. In such an environment, it is difficult to even survive, let alone grow any beautiful flowers and plants.

After reading the peony, I saw the peony, roses, purple gold, tulips, etc., and I liked it everywhere, smelled it, and reached out to touch it.

I saw a swing under a tree, and four ropes were hanging under the tree wearing a wooden plank, and the third princess pointed to the swing and asked me, "What is that?"

I smiled and said "swing".

The third princess stepped forward and looked around and asked me, "Can I sit on it?" ”

I estimated that the three princesses were fourteen or fifteen years old, and still smiled and said, "The third princess just sits, it's just for fun." After finishing speaking, I also walked a few steps forward, walked behind the third princess, and with a gentle push, the swing swayed.

The third princess said happily: "You people from the Great Jin Kingdom really know how to play." After speaking, she said again, "Use some force."

I pushed hard, and the third princess was happy, shouting "use some force, use some force". I was as tired as a dog, panting heavily, tired and sweaty on a cold day, and almost used all my strength to send her up to the treetops, but in the end I got a complaint, "You have so little strength, you can't enjoy playing".

I rolled my eyes and said with a smile, "This is not fun, there is more fun ahead, I'll take you there."

I wanted to separate the third princess, but I really didn't have the strength to push her. The third princess walked so fast that I couldn't outrun her, and somehow ran out of the royal garden, when she saw a small boat by the pond and jumped on it for me to row around.

I recognize this as a lotus pond, the lotus pond in the palace is much larger than the pond in Baifu, it is winter, the season of picking lotus root has just passed, presumably this boat is left when the vegetable root is left. But I didn't know how to row, and I couldn't tell the third princess that I couldn't, so I had to get on the boat hard, row hard with the oars in my hands, and after a while, the little boat moved and still stopped steadily.

The third princess asked me, "Do you know how to row a boat?"

I was embarrassed and said, "Yes, a little."

The third princess said impatiently, "Then don't hurry up and row, what are you grinding?"

I was thinking about how to get the boat off the shore, as long as I left the shore, I couldn't say that I couldn't row, as long as I left the shore, I could pound the boat into the middle of the lotus pond, and I was thinking about it, when I heard someone laughing behind me.

When I turned around, I saw Seventeen Shao standing behind me, and he said with a smile, "I thought that Mr. could only dance and write, but I didn't expect to be able to row."

I hurriedly winked at Seventeen Shao and motioned him to stop talking, Seventeen Shao was also interested, and hurriedly closed his mouth and looked at me and the third princess behind me with a smile.

I winked at Seventeen Shao again, pouted, frowned, Seventeen suddenly laughed, finally understood what I meant, he smiled and said, "Mr. Su has little strength, I'm afraid that the princess can't enjoy it because of the unhappiness of the row, so I'll row."

In the end, it was the major general, who easily circled around the lotus pond and returned to the shore. After the seventeenth young man left, I followed the third princess to the rockery to enjoy the fish.

I crossed the pond and crossed the small bridge, stopped in front of a blooming moon flower, and I told the third princess, "Don't touch it with your hands, be careful of the thorns in the flowers."

The third princess didn't look at me and said, "Don't worry, I'll just look at it and don't move it."

Taking advantage of the time when the third princess was admiring the moon season, I stretched out my arms to look at the fish in the pool, and I heard the princess scream, and I hurriedly stepped forward to ask "What's wrong with the princess".

I saw that the princess stretched out her hand, and her fingers immediately became red and swollen, accompanied by blood beads oozing out. She looked at me and commanded, "What do you see, aren't you a slave, why don't you hurry over and get the thorn out of this princess."

Although I was angry in my heart, but the other party was a guest and a delicate princess, I looked up and saw the Jin Emperor and the Khan, the prince and the major generals in front of the flowers, so I had to say that the anger was forcefully suppressed, and I helped the princess pick the thorns, but the thorns were too deep, and I couldn't pick them out.

Seeing the blood beads coming out, I hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief from my pocket to wipe the blood of the princess, but it still didn't seem to have much effect.

The princess said impatiently, "Why are you so benzene, don't you know how to suck it out with your mouth?" You are a maidservant, and the maidservant has to listen to the master, and the master can do whatever he tells her to do, hurry up and suck it."

When I didn't listen, the princess cried out, "Someone."

Seventeen young people rushed over with the second Turkic prince.

At this time, the anger in my heart could hardly be stifled, and I suddenly came out of the ground, shaking off the princess's hand, and I said loudly, "Princess, you listen to me, first, I am not your slave, your slave is in the endless grassland of the northwest, and second, you are not my master, I have told you just now, this flower has thorns, let you be careful, you don't listen to me, now you are stabbed, but let me suck it out for you, I can't do it, I want to suck it yourself?" ”

Seventeen Shao looked at me angrily, stood aside dumbfounded, as if he was stupid, looked at all this in a daze, and didn't help me say a word. It was the second Turkic prince who asked the princess, "What are you yelling about, I'm afraid no one will hear you."

The princess pointed at me and said, "It's her, bullying me."

I blocked the princess's outstretched hand and said, "Who bullied you, I told you just now, this flower is thorny, but you didn't listen, and now you are hurt, but you come to blame me, how can there be such an unreasonable person."

The seventeen young man on the side probably heard a little eyebrows, and without saying a word, he pulled the princess's hand over, took it in his mouth and sucked it down.

I was shocked in my heart and took a step back, but I didn't expect Seventeen Shao to do this for me, so I hurriedly pushed his arm and shouted "Seventeen Shao".

Seventeen young people just helped the third princess suck out the thorns, sucked and spit out a mouthful of blood, and then sucked and vomited again, and finally sucked the thorns out.

This scene was all seen by the second Turkic prince, who looked at me, suddenly smiled, and asked me, "What's your name?"

I straightened up and said, "Su Feifei."

He sighed and said, "The one who confronted me in the front hall is you, Your Majesty's newly appointed Master of Huide."

I said, "Exactly."

The second prince of the Turks looked at me and said with a faint smile, "Su Feifei, good, very good."

Emperor Jin, the Khan, and the major generals also walked towards this side when they heard the movement.

Emperor Jin saw that there was blood on the ground and asked, "What happened just now?"

I stood beside the seventeen young man and didn't dare to come out, the seventeen lowered his head and didn't make a sound, the third princess sitting on the stump suddenly stood up, and was about to speak when the second prince took over, he smiled and bowed to Emperor Jin, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't think about it, I accidentally injured my finger just now and bleed."

Emperor Jin smiled and said, "Many of the flowers in my imperial garden have thorns, so you should be careful when you play."

A cadre and others hurriedly said "yes".

The khan glanced at the third princess, then at me and the seventeenth young man, and said nothing. On the contrary, Eleventh, Fourteenth, Bai Xiaoqiu, and Bai Yan Leng looked at me in unison, and there was a posture that things were not so simple.

Emperor Jin glanced at the second prince's hand and asked with concern, "Is the second prince seriously injured, do you want to pass it on to the imperial doctor to take a look."

The second prince hurriedly said, "Thank you for your care, it's all right."

Emperor Jin and the Khan, the great general, turned around and walked in the other direction.

The third princess looked at me and said indignantly, "Su Feifei, you wait for me." After finishing the road, he walked briskly without looking back, and the second prince followed closely and shouted Ah Mei, and the third princess did not look back, just walked forward.

I looked at the seventeen young man beside me, and saw that there was still residual blood at the corner of his mouth, so I hurriedly wiped it for him with a silk handkerchief.

Seventeen Shao stood still and didn't move, just let me wipe it, his eyes and mouth were full of smiles, and he said softly, "I was frightened just now, it's okay now, the third princess is too childish."

The corners of my mouth twitched, I felt aggrieved in my heart, tears rolled in my eyes, and I forcibly said to Seventeen Shao, "Thank you just now."

Seventeen young hands raised "Hey, don't be so polite, who are the two of us."

Fourteen Shao stood opposite me, with his hands behind his back, looking at me, and then at Seventeen Shao, without saying anything, without asking anything, just standing.

Bai Yan's cold face was gloomy, and he asked me, "Feifei, what happened just now, what's wrong with the third princess, she looks very angry."

I shook my head and didn't say anything.

Bai Yan asked the seventeenth young man coldly, "Brother Seventeen, what happened just now, seeing that the third princess is very rude, I'm afraid it will be difficult to provoke her."

I couldn't help but say angrily, "Who provoked her, I saddled up and after the horse with her all day today, she didn't pay attention to herself, I reminded her, but she just didn't listen, she was stabbed in the finger, and I was forced to suck the thorn out, I didn't follow, she didn't spare, it was the seventeen young who rushed over to help me, this is how the whole thing happened, now you all know, satisfied." I finished speaking in one breath, not giving others room to interject, and then covered my face and ran away without looking back.

The palace maid brought me a snack, saw me lying on the bed crying, and asked me what was wrong, but I didn't reply.

In the evening, I excused myself from the evening banquet because I was unwell, and after the meal, several major generals came to see me, and the seventeenth major told me that the third princess also said that she was not feeling well and did not go to dinner.

After chatting with Seventeen and Bai Yan for a few words, their mood was not so uncomfortable, and when they saw that it was getting late, they asked them all to go back to rest.

Bai Xiaoqiu walked at the end, he turned around and told me, "You'd better stay in the room for the past two days, even if you want to go out, don't go far, don't go out unless you are a saint, so as not to run into the third princess when the time comes."

I nodded at him and turned to go inside.
