Chapter 13: The Palace's Demonic Spirit?
The pavilion outside the fog is not real, and I only hear the frequent transmission of chickens and dogs.
The flying flowers on the edge of the pavilion are really like snow, and the demons laugh at the world nonsense
Because of the embroidery bowed his head for too long, his eyes were full of gold stars, his neck was sore, and Murong Ningyan, who had long been unable to sit still, listened to the catkins promise not to practice today, if there was an amnesty, Teng stood up, took a gardenia picked by catkins in the vase, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it deeply, walked quickly to the door and opened the door bolt, stretched his waist and pinched his neck, Liu Wu'er blushed and whispered on the side: "Miss, we should go back to the room when you are tired, I will help you rub your neck and pinch your shoulders!" ”
"No, I'll just rub it myself, let's come out and breathe some fresh air!"
"It's okay, it's just that Miss don't stretch her waist anymore, and you should chew the root of your tongue when you see it for those ears and eyes, saying that Miss has no rules." Liu Wu said boldly next to Murong Ningyan's ear.
"Okay, I'm not stretching anymore, but yoga can always be practiced, right?" Murong Ningyan thought to herself, the ancients broke the rules so many times that they couldn't even stretch their waists.
"What is yoga?" Liu Wu thought with doubts, Miss not only lost her memory, but also seemed to have a great change in temperament, and I don't know how many sins I will suffer from the eldest lady in the future. . .
"Yoga is a way to improve people's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual abilities through some fitness exercise techniques, and it is a way to achieve harmony and unity of body, mind and spirit."
"As long as you don't go out of line, miss, can you promise me that you won't be angry when I speak?"
"In front of me, even if you are blunt, you can say whatever you want." Murong Ningyan knew that it must be Liu Wu who noticed something different from her original owner.
"Then I'll say, Miss, our daughter's family should smile without showing her teeth, walk without showing her feet, walk with smaller steps, move gently, and not make a sound."
"Okay, from now on, if I do something wrong, you can help me correct it in time, okay?"
"Okay, Miss is tired of sitting and we are just going to walk, let's practice walking with me now!"
The catkins walked lightly next to him, the long skirt covered the feet, giving people the feeling of floating lightly, seeing the smoke staring at the feet, he slightly lifted the skirt corner, saying that the upper body should be kept upright, the hands naturally drooped or held in front of each other's lower abdomen, and the feet moved briskly with small broken steps, and the smoke did so, and soon mastered the essentials, thinking that this is not difficult, bingo!
"Liu Wu'er, teach me some more etiquette!"
After Liu Wu taught Murong Ningyan how to salute, the posture of Dao Wanfu and some common sense of etiquette, the two Jin Lian moved back to the room lightly.
As soon as the master and servant arrived at the door, they met the Li family, who came to see their daughter, "Say hello to your mother!" "Murong Ningyan is now learning and selling, and he has given the Li family a blessing.
"How does Yan'er feel today?" Li Shi took Murong Ningyan's hand and asked,
"Mother, Yan'er is feeling a little hungry... Murong Ningyan snuggled in Li's arms a little embarrassed.
"It's a good thing to feel hungry, it means that your body is getting better, Liu Wu'er, go and get some snacks for Miss." Tell the kitchen that the future lady will eat half an hour earlier. ”
"Yes, slave and maid are going!"
"Mother, teach me to play the piano! I forgot to clean it up... Smoke said with a red face after dinner.
"Okay, as long as I want to learn cigarettes, my mother will teach you every day!" Li said with a smile on his face, then took Murong Ningyan's hand and sat down in front of the guqin. "Yan'er, play a song for my mother first!"
Yan'er knew that she had never played it, and said embarrassedly: "Mother, you still teach me from the basics, I forgot everything. ”
Lee said it doesn't matter, let's start from scratch. Then he taught Yan'er to learn from the piano, the piano score, and the basic fingering.
Practicing and practicing, before I knew it, it was late at night, the wind was blowing outside, and the oil lamp was almost blown out by the wind after swaying a few times, and the catkins hurriedly got up and went to close the window.
At this moment, there was a noise outside, so I asked Yahuan what happened outside, and Yahuan said: "In the past few days, I have heard that the slaves and maids are saying that the princess is crazy, crying and laughing for a while, and twisting good clothes with scissors." ”
"What? How can the princess be crazy when she is so good? Hugh has to talk nonsense! Li reprimanded the long-tongued girl.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Suddenly, everyone heard the voice of the princess. Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said to Murong Ningyan:
"Yan'er, follow my mother to see what's wrong with the princess."
Murong Ningyan nodded, and then pulled the catkins to the outside of Fuxi Pavilion with his mother, and the family was surrounded by people. In the dim moonlight, I saw the princess in disheveled clothes, with messy hair, sitting under a begonia tree, dragging the trunk and not letting go, staring ahead, and shouting repeatedly: "I don't want to die, don't pull me away!" I don't want to die, don't pull me away! ”
The voice was sad and tragic, and Li was about to step forward to help the princess, "Don't come here, please, don't come over, don't touch me, don't touch me!" The princess suddenly stood up, closed her eyes and punched and kicked her surroundings, making people afraid to approach.
At this moment, the prince quietly walked over, hugged the princess tightly, and gently stroked her back, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let's go back to the house." ”
The prince whispered to the housekeeper to hurry up and invite the doctor to come.
In the Fuxi Pavilion, after seeing it, Doctor Wang knelt down on the prince's knee and said:
"The old decay is really old and useless, and I can't see the disease, please ask the prince to ask for another master!" After speaking, without waiting for the prince to speak, he got up and packed up the medicine box and left.
invited several doctors one after another, but they only shook their heads, saying that they would invite another master, which was difficult for the prince.
It's been several days, the princess doesn't eat or drink, her face is pale, sometimes singing and sometimes dancing, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, sometimes tired, sleeping quietly and just right, suddenly it is like waking up from a nightmare, covering her ears and pulling her hair, and shouting loudly in her mouth, come on, help!
I was really worried about the prince, so I had to ask the above for leave to take care of the princess in the house. Famous doctors have also searched for it, and the princess's condition has not improved, not to mention, it has become more and more serious.
On this day, it rained heavily in the sky, and the prince looked at the princess who was getting thinner and more delirious, and sighed to the sky, how did she become like this?
At this moment, the family suddenly came to report: "Lord Qiqi, there is a Taoist priest standing at the gate of the mansion with a whisk in his hand, his hair and beard are all white, and he shouts in his mouth, the huge palace is actually full of demonic energy." ”
After hearing the news, the prince said: "What? Hurry up and invite the Taoist priest into the house. ”
When the Taoist priest saw the prince, he made a mockery and said, "Prince, something is wrong!" The poor road passed by your mansion, smelling some demonic smell, in recent days, there have been strange things happening in the house? ”
As he was talking, he heard the family come to report: "Lord, it's not good, there is a sudden smoke in the stable for some reason." ”
"Why is it still running on a rainy day? Hurry up and put out the fire and find out who did it. When the prince heard this, he hurriedly ordered the family.
"If the demons in the house are not eliminated for a day, such strange things will not stop for a day." The Taoist chief looked in all directions of the courtyard and said.
The prince stretched his neck and leaned his head forward, and asked suspiciously: "What does the Taoist mean is that the stable is done by demons?" ”
"Exactly." The Taoist chief stroked his long beard and said with a solemn expression.
The prince tightened his eyebrows and lowered his voice: "The Taoist chief just asked if there was any strange thing happening in the mansion recently, and there is really a strange thing. This king is anxious, if the Taoist can lend a hand, this king will be grateful in the future! The Taoist chief first went with the king to see why the water would go on this rainy day. ”
While speaking, the Taoist chief came to the stable with the prince, only to see a large pile of straw burning by itself, thick black smoke filling the entire palace, and the housekeeper was leading the family and the maids to carry water to extinguish the fire.
"Listen up and down in the house, all of them will tell me the truth about today's whereabouts, and someone must prove it."
After a while, the housekeeper and the head of the maid each reported their whereabouts, because it was raining heavily early this morning, the people in the house were all in the house, doing some repair and cleaning and other work, and they were all in groups of several people, and no one left in the middle.
The prince thought to himself: Shuang'er was in the house where she accompanied her mother in Fuxi Pavilion, and the suspicion of her mother and daughter could be ruled out, and she could testify, and she only left the princess's room when the Taoist chief came just now, and the time was extremely short, not enough to light a pile of wet straw.
Murong Ningyan and Li practiced the piano in the room, and there were two maids to serve, and none of the master and servant left the room for half a step.
None of this mattered, the main thing was that the butler said that he was leading someone to repair the feed room opposite the stable, and the opposite side was clearly visible, and no one passed by at all.
The Taoist chief mysteriously pulled the prince aside and said: "The prince doesn't have to bother, according to the poor Dao, this matter is not man-made, take a step to speak." ”
"Dao Chief, please go to this king's study to talk about it!"
In Moyuan Hall, Yahuan presented the best Biluo Chun to the prince and the Taoist chief and retreated, leaving only the prince and the Taoist chief in the house. The prince took a sip of tea and said:
"Just now, the Taoist chief asked if there was anything strange in the house recently, but there was really one. Princess Chen, who has always been in good health, has recently suddenly gone crazy, sometimes crying and laughing, sometimes quiet and sometimes playing, sometimes babbling, and sometimes as if frightened. I invited many doctors and said that they could not be cured, and I hoped that the Taoist chief would give me some advice. ”
"Have there been any living people living in the house lately?"
"No one has ever been in the house."
When the Taoist chief heard this, he then pinched his fingers, then pulled his face long, stood up angrily and said, "Hmph! Since the prince doesn't believe in the poor road and doesn't tell the truth, then the poor road is just boring to stay, so it's better to leave! So saying, he walked to the door.
"Don't be angry, Daoist! This king definitely did not deceive the Taoist. The prince quickly stood up and walked quickly to the door to stop the Taoist.
"Okay, Poor Dao will believe in the prince again!" As he spoke, he took out a compass from his bosom.
I saw that the needle of the compass suddenly swayed vigorously, and the Taoist chief's face changed dramatically in an instant, and he shouted, "Not good!" ”
"Dao Chief, what's wrong? Is there really a problem? Seeing this, the prince also nervously leaned over and stared at the compass.
"What is the east and the west?"
"Princess Chen and her eldest daughter Murong Ningshuang live in the east wing, and the second lady Li and her second daughter Murong Ningyan live in the west wing."
The Taoist chief pinched his fingers, rolled his eyes and sighed: "Alas! Lord Wang, there is a problem with this West Wing! ”
