Chapter 3 Ink Monkey

I heard that Qin Darling got an ink monkey, the size of a fist, with a golden body and shimmering eyes, and could sleep with a coiled coil in the pen holder. Good at grinding ink, handing paper, dexterous and diligent and funny. Qin Darling regarded it as a treasure, and specially invited experienced monkey trainers to come to train.

The monkey was originally stained with the scent of books, but it was psychic, and it was even more ingenious after being trained. Qin Darling often tucked it in the cuff, or let it coil on his fingers, walking around the house, the maids and daughters couldn't help but be curious, and took peanuts and soybeans to eat and feed it.

The ink monkey was not afraid of life at all, and climbed up the skirts of the servants to the ground, climbed into the placket of their clothes, or into the cuffs, and rummaged for food, causing the servants to "giggle" and blush.

Qin Darling has a rare good temper, teasing it with the maids, plucking the ink monkey to drill into the clothes of the maids, stealing small objects such as rouge boxes and incense powder bottles in their arms or sleeves, and giving them to himself like a treasure, and the servants make fun of it as a merry perverted monkey.

Nuoya heard that there were also Wenchen who liked to raise this kind of monkey in the past, and if he felt that his throat was dry and itchy when he went to court, he secretly coughed and spit on his cuff, and the ink monkey took it and swallowed it. Originally, Noah thought it was a very pitiful object, but he didn't expect it to be so flattering, and he felt rare in his heart.

On March 3, Shangsi Festival, the crown princess invited many family members to the prince's mansion to enjoy the flowers. Qin Bao'er and An Ruoxi both received invitations, and Noya found an excuse to stay in the mansion, since she had already torn her face, she was unwilling to go to the false and wronged snakes, and then provoke something wrong.

Qin Darling is familiar with the Prince's Mansion, she is the same age as the Crown Princess, she often comes and goes in the boudoir, and her relationship is also very good. So when I arrived at the Prince's Mansion early, I went straight to the Crown Princess's courtyard to talk.

The crown princess is still grooming and dressing up, because of Li Mingzu's new funeral, the clothes can't be too ostentatious, so she worked the bun, and put on a very cumbersome peony bun, only decorated with two steps, a pair of red gold heads, and it looks graceful and luxurious, so it was delayed for some time. Seeing that Qin Bao'er had come over so early, she didn't get up, but only raised her hand to signal her to sit at will.

Qin Bao'er looked around the crown princess's house, full of envy: "What kind of incense is used in this house today, which is extremely elegant and not greasy at all?" ”

The crown princess didn't look back: "The prince entrusted someone to bring the tribute incense from Jiangsu, and gave it to the queen's mother, and gave me a little bit." Your nose is getting sharper. ”

"I'll just say how it smells so good. These days, I always smell the smell of those bitter medicine soups, my nose is numb, and I finally have a refreshing aroma. Qin Bao'er played with a pair of footbells on the princess's table, shaking the "jingle bell".

The crown princess lifted the step on her bun and asked casually, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with your body? ”

Qin Bao'er shook her head: "I can eat and sleep very well, and I am the one who is held in the palm of my hand by the ninth master." ”

The crown princess turned around in shock: "Lin Nuoya? ”

"It's not, it's sneaky, I've heard it's quite serious. I wish she had died a day earlier. ”

The crown princess waved her hand and motioned for the girls to go down, and whispered angrily: "Look at you, such a big person, how can you still speak openly, can you say such words so bluntly in front of others?" ”

Seeing that she and the crown princess were left in the house, Qin Darling said mysteriously: "Cousin, I eavesdropped on the Ninth Master and their words, as if Lin Nuoya was poisoned!" ”

"Poisoned?" The crown princess glanced left and right: "What poison?" ”

"It seems that the Ninth Master doesn't know, isn't that woman Lin Nuoya amnesia? So I don't know how the poison came about. Now Jiu Ye is as anxious as the ants in the hot pot, and every day the old soup is tinkering with prescriptions to detoxify the woman. Also, haven't you heard that the second prince also found several doctors to go over, but when he heard that he was at a loss, he was driven out angrily by the ninth master. ”

The crown princess suddenly became interested: "Last time in Dali Temple, Lin Nuoya fainted in a good manner, I heard that Xiao Jiu and the second child almost fought on the spot, I thought she was not in good health, and she couldn't stand the suffering of Dali Temple." ”

Qin Bao'er threw the pair of footbells on the table, pouted her lips, and said with extreme disdain: "This is called the sky has eyes, I will go to incense and chant Buddha every day, I wish she had a poison as soon as possible, I am afraid that the old soup will really come up with an antidote, and the bamboo basket will be empty." ”

The crown princess covered her mouth proudly and smiled: "You can rest assured, how can everyone solve that poison?" It is already a blessing for her to live these more days. ”

Qin Darling immediately came to her senses, grabbed the crown princess's sleeve, and asked excitedly: "Cousin, do you know what this poison is all about?" This is who took this breath for me, and I must thank her with all my heart. ”

"Confidential!" The crown princess turned around proudly, and her mood suddenly improved. Although Lin Nuoya exonerated the crime of killing her brother, the princess and the crown princess still regarded her as an enemy, and gritted their teeth with hatred. Now that I heard that she had poisonous hair, I was naturally in a good mood.

When Qin Darling saw it, she didn't give up, stood up, and shook the crown princess's arm: "Good cousin, just tell me, my heart is like a cat's claw, suffocated to death." ”

The crown princess sighed: "Say it, you must keep it secret and keep your mouth shut." ”

"That's for sure, cousin, I wish that Lin Noya would die in front of me immediately, can I still say that bad things can be done?"

"Actually, it's not a secret. Last time in Dali Temple, my father sued her Lin Nuoya, and last year, that slut had assassinated the prince, but he didn't succeed, and he was killed by the prince. Originally, the poison was immediate, and he couldn't live a hundred steps, so the prince didn't take it to heart. How did I know that the slut had such a big life, not only did he not die, but he entered the general's mansion and lived a good life.

This matter, I think, Xiao Jiu should have guessed it a long time ago, but there is no way to open this mouth with the prince. After all, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was equivalent to not confessing to himself, and the crime of assassinating the prince of Dachu was implicated in the nine clans, so it was better to die quietly, so as not to drag others down. ”

After the crown princess finished speaking, Qin Darling exhaled happily, and Orr asked anxiously as if she suddenly remembered something: "Cousin, is there an antidote to this poison?" ”

The crown princess snorted coldly: "What if there is an antidote?" Could it be that I will still give it to her Lin Nuoya? ”

"Oh, good cousin," Qin Darling sat down in front of her, "You're in a hurry to kill me." Don't you know, there are many strange people in the past Baili Jiu, the prince is so busy, if it is not good to keep it, what if someone steals it one day? I finally have a hope in my heart, but I can't let it go. ”

The crown princess stretched out her hand and pointed at Qin Bao'er's forehead: "You reminded me like this, and what you said is that I will take it with me in the future." That Baili Jiu would never have thought that the antidote would be on me. ”

After that, he got up, walked straight into his bedroom, tossed for a long time, and then walked out, and proudly raised his arm to signal: "Now you should be at ease." ”

Qin Bao'er gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Now I see how she Lin Nuoya can still be powerful?!" ”

"Hehe, when she ascends to heaven, you must find someone to inform me, and I will go to the pillar incense, and then pour this antidote in front of her coffin."

The two laughed in unison and got carried away.

A girl came in, and the princess had already had guests one after another, and the two had a happy event, and they were both refreshed and went together.

There were many female relatives who came to the flower viewing party, competing with each other, surrounding the crown princess, and praising her from head to toe. The human face is full of flowers, and the contrast is dazzling.

Da Chu has an open atmosphere, but whenever there is a banquet, there is wine, and the ladies are all sweet fruit wine, the entrance is sweet, and the stamina is not small. Everyone gathered around the princess to persuade each other diligently, and the princess was in high spirits today, so she couldn't help but drink a few glasses, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.

Everyone had their own fun, some played the piano, some wrote poems and paintings, some cooked tea and drank, and most of them were chatting and joking.

Suddenly, someone in the female dependents exclaimed, "Look, what is this?" ”

Everyone looked up in the direction of the woman's finger, and saw a golden fist-sized monkey, riding on a peach branch, picking peach blossoms and learning from a woman, pinning it to her ears, scratching her head and making a gesture, which was very funny.

"Where did you get such a funny monkey?" Some people tease it with their heads up, and they think it's cute and funny.

"This looks like a black monkey, right?" Someone who is well-informed will ask suspiciously.

There were all kinds of snacks and nuts on the table, and someone took a peanut and threw it at the ink monkey, who was also clever, and immediately stretched out his paws and hugged it, peeled the flower and skinned it in style, and then threw it into his mouth.

Immediately attracted more ladies to watch, eager to hold it in the palm of their hands and play with it as a plaything.

When the ink monkey saw that many people were surrounding him, he was not in a hurry or frightened, jumped down from this branch, landed on the case, and then stole a piece of snack, put it in his mouth, and rode on the peach tree again, deliberately shaking the peach branch up and down.

"So greedy!" The crown princess was also very interested, so she turned around and ordered her subordinates to arrest her.

The servant crept around from behind it, and before he could reach out his hand, the monkey changed its branches alertly, and perched on the top of the tree, as if it were a snack that did not suit its appetite, wrinkled its nose, and threw it away, and then looked at the peanut saucer on the table.

The crown princess took the peanut plate and beckoned to the ink monkey: "Come here, it's all for you." ”

The ink monkey looked at the princess warily for a long time, and then suddenly slipped down the branch, jumped into the plate, and ate peanuts, not at all shocked.
