Chapter 5 A wave is not settled, and a wave is rising
once hated to be born as a king,
The envy of the public does not know the suffering of the slave family.
Brocade clothes and jade food are like the surface of the lake,
At the bottom of the lake, there is a concubine.
Ning Yanyan is fast, pulling the catkins to the side and dodging lightly, this dodge was not hit, the person who hit the person was too strong, and his own weight made the center of gravity unstable, "poof", and suddenly planted into the lotus pond. The fish were so frightened that they fled in all directions, and a good pond of lotus leaves was also broken.
Frost struggled in the water, muddy splashes flying everywhere.
"Miss, miss, don't panic, we're here to save you!" Someone in the ring said that he went into the water to save the frost.
"Look at what you've done, wait! Hum! The prince knows, see how he cleans you up! The girl ring beside Ning Shuang raised her eyebrows at Ning Yan and Liu Wu.
The master's aura is strong, and those who are slaves under him are also tough.
Fortunately, it was only close to the shore, the water had just reached his knees, and Ning Yan's body was still very weak and he couldn't exert his strength, so he stood on the shore and let the catkins and the group of maids pull and pull together, and finally pulled the frost up.
Standing there, the water was dripping down, covered with muddy frost, and he was very angry and cried and scolded: "Little slut, you wait!" See how your father punishes you. ”
Ning Shuang returned to Yuqiong Pavilion angrily, and slapped a mouth on Yiyahuan's face. "Dare to lie to me? She didn't have any amnesia, and she recognized me as soon as I walked over. ”
"What's the hurry, let's see, there's a girl with catkins next to her, can she not know you? But why did you end up in such a mess? ”
"Mother, I think that little slut has changed after returning home this time, and she actually dares to talk back to me, in other words, in the past, she would never dare to hide when I bumped into it, and she was the one who fell into the pond like that." Frost said thoughtfully:
The maids were about to change Ningshuang's clothes, but were stopped by the princess, "Don't change Shuang'er, go, your father happens to be in the house today, and my mother will accompany you to find your father!" ”
Murong Ningyan and Liu Wu saw that Murong Ningshuang fell into the water, and they didn't stay long when they were fine.
"Sister, it's all my fault, it's hurting you to be beaten, right?"
"It doesn't hurt, Miss, I'm fine! The eldest lady is used to being violent, and it was very common to be beaten by her before. Liu Wu said bitterly:
Ning Yan thought to herself: I'm not the weak young lady who let you bully before, I have to find a way to cure her, otherwise the people around me will also suffer together.
Back in the Ning Xiang Pavilion, Liu Fu knew that Ning Shuang would not give up on this matter, and he was anxious. But Ning Yan didn't know that there was already wolf smoke, and he said that he was tired and was about to rest for a while.
As soon as he lay down, a maid hurriedly reported: "Miss, the prince ordered you to go to the study quickly." ”
After the last time, Ning Yan felt that it was nothing good when she heard that the prince was invited, and she was furious, and her heart began to drum.
Liu Yan'er hurriedly helped Ning Yan tidy up her appearance and led her through the long corridor, and Ning Yan had no intention of looking at the buildings and scenery of the palace at this time. came to a house inscribed with the words "Moyuan Hall", which seemed to be the prince's study. Walking to the door, Liu Wu'er waited outside the door, and Ning Yan gently pushed the door open.
As soon as one foot stepped into the study, Ning Yan instantly understood why the prince called him, only to see that Ning Shuang was still wearing a wet body, and was hugged by a graceful and luxurious woman sitting on a chair crying and crying, and the water was still dripping under the chair, and when she saw Ning Yan coming in, Ning Shuang immediately cried: "Father, mother, you have to make decisions for Shuang'er, she pushed me into the lotus pond." ”
The noble lady wiped the tears of the frost with a silk handkerchief, and she also shed tears, and said in her mouth: "At a young age, her heart is so vicious, she is your sister!" Lord, you have to be the master of Shuang'er! The scene made uninformed people see it, and they would think how much the mother and son had been wronged.
Wang Ye Tie sat on the Taishi chair with a blushing face, and his mother stood next to him tremblingly.
Murong Ningyan guessed that the woman was the princess, so she stepped forward: "Yan'er greets his father and asks for peace to his father!" "Yan'er meets the princess, the princess is blessed!"
The princess glared at Murong Ningyan viciously, then turned her head and said to Ning Yanniang with a crying voice: "Where did you come from, you are a femme fatale at a young age, Aunt Li, how did you educate you?" ”
The prince blew his beard and glared at him: "Evil obstacles, don't kneel down yet, look at the good things you have done!" ”
Murong Ningyan thought to himself, it is estimated that Ning Yan must not dare to squeak after being wronged before, but I am also from modern times, so I am not affected by this nest of anger, so he returned his mouth and said: "You still have a wicked person to sue first?" Obviously, you came to hit me, my tonnage was too heavy and I didn't stand firm and fell, I'm embarrassed to rely on me, I think you should eat less to lose weight! ”
"You, you, father, you dare to say such things in front of you, Shuang'er is no longer alive!" Murong Ningshuang was most afraid of people saying that she was fat since she was a child, and now she was so angry that her face turned green, and she stood up and wanted to hit the pillar as she spoke, but the princess hurriedly hugged her.
"It's against you, not only do you not apologize to your sister, but you dare to deny it? actually spoke disrespectfully in front of this king, where is there a lady who looks beautiful? Someone's coming! Drag me out of this obstacle, and the rod will be twenty! ”
At this time, the door was pushed open with a creak, and the willow catkins outside the door knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said anxiously: "Ask the master to spare Miss, not only Liu Wuer saw it, but also the maids who followed the eldest lady, the second lady didn't tell a lie, it was the eldest lady who fell into the water herself." ”
"Father, and this cheap slave and maid, it's not a good thing, the two of them teamed up to bully Shuang'er."
"Drag it out and fight together, and the slaves and maids dare to commit crimes, there is simply no royal law?"
"Plop", the crying Li also knelt down in front of the prince, "The concubine begged the prince for mercy, but she couldn't beat it, Yan'er just picked up a life, how could she afford the twenty rods, it was the concubine who didn't discipline her well, and the prince would punish the concubine if he wanted to punish him!" ”
Seeing that the prince did not insist on the punishment, Li knelt down in front of the prince, pulled the prince's robe and kept begging. Maybe it was because the prince remembered the past feelings of the Li family, or maybe he was thinking about whether the fourteen-year-old girl could really withstand the cane punishment, so he changed his words and said: "Come on, the cane punishment is exempted today, fetch two basins of water, and the master and servant go to the middle of the courtyard with the basin on their backs and kneel, and they are not allowed to get up until they kneel for an hour, and no one is allowed to intercede." ”
The princess said hatefully: "Sprinkle a drop of water and kneel for an hour!" ”
Immediately, someone brought two basins of clear water, and dragged Murong Ningyan and willow catkins to kneel in the middle of the courtyard. It was nearly noon after a few twists and turns, and it was the time when the sun was at its strongest, and it was also the time when the shadows were the shortest, and there was not even a shade of trees.
The cicadas on the trees seemed to be crying out for smoke, hissing and screaming one after another, the wind did not know where to slip, and the stone paved ground in the yard was hot, but they did not dare to move, otherwise the basin full of water above their heads would spill out.
After a while, the beads of sweat on the heads of Murong Ningyan and Liu Wu drilled into their eyes and flowed into their mouths, salty and salty, I don't know whether it was sweat or tears, and then dripped from their chins to the ground, and the sweat continued to flow down the arms holding the basin of water.
Li Shi was like an ant on a hot pot on the side, and he was so anxious that he had no other way but to cry.
There are mothers and daughters who are fanning under the shade of the trees, and they don't care about washing their faces and mud, as if they will miss watching the show when they go to wash their faces and change their clothes. Eating the fruit, looking at it with a smile on his face, he felt extremely relieved.
Ning Yan had been in a coma for three days and three nights, and he had just woken up for less than half a day, when he was tossed like this, he suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was about to pass out, but some people saw this scene in their eyes.
At this moment, I saw a sky blue shadow rushing over, and an arrow flew up and kicked the two water basins away, splashing in all directions. Before Ning Yan could see the person clearly, he fainted...
I saw that the man picked up Murong Ningyan and rushed towards Moyuan Hall.
Finally came to save the star, Li helped up the catkins, the catkins' legs were already numb, and when he stood up suddenly, he had no consciousness at all, and almost fell, fortunately with the help of the Li family, Li held the catkins' hands distressedly, "Child, let you suffer with the smoke." ”
"Madam, I'm fine, thanks to the eldest young master's rescue, otherwise the young lady will suffer again." The master and servant finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went to the door of the study to find out.
Murong Ningshuang and the princess were even more stunned by this sudden heroic rescue, a good show was disturbed, and they were extremely unhappy: "Big brother is really annoying, I just felt a little relieved, why do you want to spoil my good deeds, hum!" ”
"Why did Zi Feng come back early? Didn't you write back and say you wouldn't get back until early next month? This kid is really... ”
Just a second before Murong Ningyan fainted and was about to approach the ground, he was picked up by someone and strode into Moyuan Hall.
It turned out that Murong Zifeng, who had returned early from his travels, heard some rumors about his two younger sisters when he passed through Jinling City, and he thought: I have to check it carefully when I go back, if the rumors are true, since my father turns a blind eye, then I, the eldest brother, will exercise my right to be the boss, and it is time to discipline her well. It's simply lawless, if it goes on like this, the reputation of the palace will be discredited, the little sister's reputation will not be guaranteed, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
So he hurried to the house, but he didn't expect to be outside the gate, so he heard from the family that the second lady had just woken up after falling off the cliff and was rescued, and today she was punished by the prince in the courtyard outside the study. Thinking that on weekdays, after Ning Yan was often bullied by Ning Shuang, he would have to be punished by his father, and he didn't know how many times he had been a hero to save the beauty, and he didn't know what kind of punishment he had received today.
So he ran all the way, who knew that as soon as he entered the house, he saw the figure of Ning Yan about to fall, and he was stunned in his heart, thinking, Yan'er, you must hold on!
Murong Zifeng picked up Murong Ningyan, who had fallen into a coma, and hurried all the way, pushed open the door of Moyuan Hall with his arm, and lay Murong Ningyan on a bench. The prince looked at his son who had returned from a trip for half a year, and he was both happy and angry.
"Who allowed you to save her? Do you know what she did? She has disgraced my old face, and the punishment is light. ”
"Father, what I have heard is not as you said, it is better for you to know the truth and then punish it."
"The truth? Who else do you think can't slander her? ”
