The queen of Chu sat on a stone bench under the poplar tree, and at her feet fell asleep a white-crowned crane, curled up with her head crossed, basking in the sun. Queen Chu supported the stone table next to her with one hand and placed the other hand on the hip. turned his head and looked at Shi Yiguang who was kneeling on the ground.

There were still a little tears embedded in her eyes, she picked up the handkerchief, pressed the corner of her eye, and then slowly spoke: "I heard that Mr. saved my son Zhang in danger?" ”

"The grass people don't dare to take credit." Shi Yiguang was still kneeling, did not get up, hung his head, looked at the stone slab in front of him, and his voice did not fluctuate.

"Did the gentleman save my son?" The voice of the queen of Chu came again, with a sad aftertaste. It seems that Xiong Zhang's sudden disappearance has not yet recovered from his grief.

Shi Yiguang's hanging head was silent, feeling a little strange.

"Back to the queen's words, it's just that the grass people and the prince support each other, so that they can't save it." Shi Yiguang replied.

"Sir can speak." Queen Chu said. After that, he stopped, and Shi Yiguang didn't answer.

After a moment, Queen Chu sighed: "I thought that if Mr. saved my son, I should repay the favor no matter what." ”

At this point, Queen Chu's voice stopped. looked fixedly at Shi Yiguang, who was kneeling in front of him.

Shi Yiguang hung her head, like a fool, Queen Chu didn't ask, even if there was something in the words, she shouldn't know, and she didn't answer a word. Just kneeling there, hanging her head, people can't see her expression if they want to see her.

"Then did Mr. save my son, or did I save him?" Queen Chu suddenly asked.

Listening to the words of the queen of Chu, who was obsessed with who would save whom, Shi Yiguang's eyes flashed, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart.

So obsessed with asking like this. Is it because Xiong Zhang blocked her arrows on the cliff?

The people in the court still don't know how Xiong Zhang disappeared, and with her understanding of Xiong Zhang, even if Xiong Zhang said it to Queen Chu, he wouldn't say it in such detail.

Shi Yiguang's face sank, and gloom flashed from his eyes.

"Caring for each other, there is no such thing as who saved whom." Shi Yiguang gathered his expression in an instant and replied calmly.

The back of the king of Chu sank, picked up the handkerchief, and pressed it to the corner of his eye, and his face returned to sadness in an instant.

"Sir, please be seated." She said, "The king's palace gentlemen all sit and talk, but when they come to me, they kneel and talk. The king knew, and was afraid that he would not be reprimanded. ”

"No." Shi Yiguang didn't shirk either, and he didn't answer much. Get up and sit down on the stone bench next to you.

Queen Chu tilted her head at this time and looked at the sullen Shi Yiguang.

"Mr. and Zhang have been silent for more than a month. I don't know where I am during this time? Queen Chu asked with concern while pressing the corners of her eyes.

Shi Yiguang still hung his head slightly, looking at the bright yellow peony blooming in front of him.

"The queen can ask the eldest prince about these." Shi Yiguang's return this time was simple.

The more she gets along with this Queen of Chu, the more weird she feels. Coupled with the fact that Queen Chu is the only one in the Chu Palace who has an inextricable relationship with the Yue Palace, Shi Yiguang doesn't want to stay here any longer.

Queen Chu turned her head and sighed softly, with concern and distress on her face: "Zhang'er is afraid that I am worried and refuses to tell me." ”

"The eldest prince is sincere and filial, thinking about the queen everywhere, and his sincere thoughts are touching." Shi Yiguang hung his head, still looking at the yellow peony, and spoke.

Queen Chu listened to Shi Yiguang's painless words, and she didn't answer herself. Turning his head, he looked at Shi Yiguang, pretended to reprimand on his face, and said: "The eldest prince is sincere and filial, I naturally understand it, and I don't dare to ask more to make him worry." But the heart of a mother, thinking is serious, and worrying is still there. Why didn't the gentleman answer? Queen Chu said, looking at Shi Yiguang, afraid that she would speak vaguely and answer the question. So the question is straightforward.

Shi Yiguang listened, looked at the yellow peony in front of him, rubbed his fingers between his hips, and the corners of his eyes bent slightly.

Reasoning with skin, knowing with emotion and reasoning. It's not that she's proud, at least she hasn't met her yet.

Shi Yiguang turned his head and looked at Queen Chu, and after a glance, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and got up: "It's not that Bingwen doesn't listen to the heart of the loving mother, but he has promised the prince that he will not mention the events of the day after leaving the customs." If you tell it, it will be a missed time! ”

Shi Yiguang stood in front of Queen Chu, his voice getting higher and higher, and he almost burst into tears when he held his hands and said with emotion.

"The saint has said that breaking a promise is a loss of moderation. It is a great shame to lose moderation. When to die. If the grass people do something that is out of date, why don't they die quickly before they miss the deadline?! Shi Yiguang said, bent down to the queen of Chu again, and made a salute: "I hope the queen understands." ”

Queen Chu's originally sad face sank a little, she looked at the top of Shi Yiguang's hanging head and pinched her fingers.

Then she withdrew her hand on the stone table, looked at Shi Yiguang, turned her head, and looked calm.

The maids next to him all hung their heads and didn't say anything, Shi Yiguang sat and saluted, did not hear Queen Chu's words of pardon, and also maintained the posture of reaching out and bending down and bowing their heads.

The spring breeze in the peony garden is slight, blowing the low branches. Huge flowers adorned the branches, swaying in the late spring wind, bending the slender waists.

For a while, Shi Yiguang's neck was a little sore.

The red-crowned crane next to the queen of Chu's feet woke up, stretched out his head inserted in his wings, stretched his neck vigorously, and shook his head. Then he got up and rubbed against Queen Chu. Then buried his slender little black legs, and walked towards the peony branch on the side.

Shi Yiguang looked at the red-crowned crane and looked strange.

"Mr. was hired by the king to teach in the palace?" Queen Chu spoke again, and her voice became a little cold.

It sounds like Xiong Zhang's voice on weekdays.

"The grass people are clumsy, just to accompany the reading" Shi Yiguang pulled back his gaze at the red-crowned crane, and replied respectfully.

"Living in the courtyard of the palace?" Queen Chu turned her head and looked at Shi Yiguang.

"No." Shi Yiguang stood and replied.

"Optional?" Queen Chu said, looking at Shi Yiguang's eyes narrowed.

"It's all up to the king." Shi Yiguang replied.

Queen Chu looked at Shi Yiguang, and when she heard this, the corners of her mouth were hooked, but her voice did not carry a smile: "The king is busy with official business, so I can pick it for Mr." ”

"I am a foreign minister, and I am noble. The inside and outside are divided, and they dare not overstep. Shi Yiguang replied without thinking about it. This Queen of Chu still wants to trouble her.

Queen Chu looked at Shi Yiguang and was choked back by her. It is said to be inside and outside, but in fact, it is a metaphor that men and women should not cross between them. Isn't this just a clear scolding of her?

But I didn't make it clear, so there was nothing wrong with thinking about it.

said that she was choked, even if Queen Chu had the best patience to look at Shi Yiguang, she was also angry.

"The king didn't say anything, but the gentleman was quite complaining." Queen Chu sat on the stone bench and looked at Shi Yiguang as she spoke, her voice cold. After that, he continued: "Mr. has entered the inner palace, and the chapter is the royal family's descendant, and the eldest concubine is all occupied. If you want to come to Mr. to teach him, it is impossible to become a master in the future. ”
