Chapter 2 The longevity king is not good
At this time, Li Mao in King Shou's mansion didn't know that Gao Lishi's flattery was not successful, but caused himself a lot of trouble, and he was sleeping sweetly on the kang.
However, before he could wake up naturally, outside the inner courtyard remembered the crying wolf of the Wangcai ghost! "Your Highness, Your Highness, something is wrong, there is news from the palace that the saint is angry and wants to urgently summon you into the palace to meet you, hurry up and freshen up! Jin Wuwei estimated that he had arrived with his front and back feet!! ”
"What are you shouting? I don't know, Your Highness, was he so busy last night that he didn't sleep until the third watch? If you shout like this unruly, be careful that Your Highness will pull you to fight again. ”
"Eh, my good sister Qiuxiang, now your eyebrows are burning, why are you still here to scare the little one, if the palace high attendant is the first to pass on, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will delay the hour, the saint is urgently summoned, and the inner courtyard is small and inconvenient to enter, so I bother my sister You are tired to ask Your Highness to get up, this matter is really not a joke, you are the person who has been around the mother, you always know the key to it, right?"
"Why did the saint summon His Highness, this is not a festival time, does Chief Gao have a detailed explanation?"
"No? The person who came only said that he should prepare quickly, and not wear civilian clothes like usual, by the way, the man also said that the saint was not in a good mood! I want Your Highness to pay attention to your words and deeds! ”
"Got it, you go and prepare the carriage and wait at the gate, by the way, and go to the account office to get some more scattered silver for His Highness to use."
After the chief girl Qiu Xiang said this, she walked into the inner courtyard with a frown, but her pace seemed to be slowly speeding up. After receiving Qiu Xiang's instructions, Wangcai did not dare to delay at all, and trotted all the way into the stable.
Li Mao was forcibly pulled up from the kang in the bedroom, both eyes were still closed and couldn't be opened, and the whole person was leaning on the shoulders of the two maids, and was dragged out of bed.
"What are you doing, what are you doing here? Even the school is closed in this winter, why are you still shouting people so early, making people unable to live, Wangcai's broken gong voice will have to poison him sooner or later......"
"Yes, it's good to be dumb, lest he shout all day long, and follow His Highness behind you without any rules to join in the fun, but even if it is poisonous, Your Highness will come back from the palace and poison it again, the saint wants to see you, Niangniang, she has explained, but everything related to the palace His Royal Highness must not be sloppy at all, and the big and small Shuang'er hurriedly serve His Highness to wash and dress!"
Qiu Xiang had not yet stepped into the room with one foot, but her somewhat dull voice first came into Li Mao's ears, and Li Mao immediately shook her neck as a reflex, but her eyes were still tightly closed and refused to open.
"Yes, Sister Qiuxiang! Your Highness, just get up obediently, or you will be punished again in a while! ”
"She dares! Didn't you just rely on your mother to support her? It's really a temperless lord who is really a temperless lord! Holding chicken feathers as arrows, who is not in the rules and still says it? And you two little girls too! Why is it that every time I see her, it's like a mouse seeing a cat, don't forget that the three of us are a gang, what kind of friendship do we have, that's a childhood sweetheart who grew up peeing and playing with mud at Ning Wang's father's house, two little unguessed partners......"
"Your Royal Highness said carefully, if you don't want the big and small shuang'er to suffer, it's better to talk less about this in the future, you are a royal family, blood inheritance, marriage has never been a childhood sweetheart, what is the identity of the two of them, if you usually like it, you can play together, don't take ......it seriously."
Qiu Xiang's words almost blurted out, but after hearing them, the big and small shuang'er were immediately frightened to break free of Li Mao's little dishonest hands, and then when Li Mao slowly came back to his senses and suddenly opened his eyes to look at Qiu Xiang, his sharp eyes scared Qiu Xiang's girl and knelt directly to the ground.
"Huh...... Who are they? What about you! What is the identity, the mother concubine just asked you to serve the king, but she didn't let you be an old mother chattering all day long to teach the king, play, can you play with the king? You dead girl is embarrassed everywhere on weekdays, it's not because they are intimate with this king! Is what you think in your heart really that simple and unselfish? Don't think this king ......"
Li Mao's words at this moment, like a hammer, hit Qiu Xiang's heart every word, she knelt on the ground with her hands down and panted vigorously, the little thoughts in her stomach were all guessed correctly by Li Mao, the embarrassment of the twin sisters was completely out of jealousy, there was no other reason at all, but she also understood how rebellious it was to be born with such a delusion as a subordinate, so even if she was killed, she couldn't admit it.
After calming down a little, Qiu Xiang immediately raised her head and looked at Li Mao, and then continued to speak as if she had made some major decision.
"Naturally! Since the day the slave was sent to His Royal Highness, the slave and the maid are His Royal Highness's people, and His Royal Highness can treat the slave and maid as much as he wants, even if he sells it and kills him on the spot, the slave and maid will not, and he does not dare to have half a word of complaint, I only hope that His Royal Highness will not live up to the painstaking and necessary rules of the mother, even if you are Your Highness, you still have to abide by it! As a prince, you can't be contemptuous in your speech and demeanor!! Please don't embarrass the slaves anymore! ”
Looking at Qiu Xiang's resolute and unyielding eyes, Li Mao lost his temper in an instant, he more or less understood the servility of ancient people and the many rules before crossing over to the Tang Dynasty. But he never dreamed that he was aiming at His Royal Highness the Prince, and he would be restricted everywhere like this, and now he was being made by a calling girl and couldn't get off the stage. Sometimes he really wants to look up and ask God: Is this special mother of his mother coming over, is she the emperor or the grandson?
Counting the past eleven years, aside from the days when I was still living in swaddling milk in my infancy for the first two years, every day spent in the other years was simply walking on the tip of a knife.
But in retrospect, even in those days of breastfeeding, it seems that I have to sleep with one eye open, and the reason is very simple and clear, that is, I am afraid that one day I will accidentally say something that should not be said early.
As for the later foster care in King Ning's Mansion, the days he spent in school were cautious and cautious, and it was even more tragic to say that it was abnormal, because the ancients were not only born outside the Taoist Ghost Gate, but it was also difficult to grow up!
The two half-brothers above him died halfway and did not feed, so when he came to himself, the poor mother was almost stunned, and she was afraid of melting her little son in her mouth, holding it in her hand for fear of dropping, and finally she was superstitious to live for her own good, and she was separated from her flesh and blood and fostered in someone else's house.
And then even if he entered King Ning's Mansion, the person who took care of it was called a meticulous person, and during that time, there were no less than five old mothers who accompanied the nursing, and there were also those who played, ate and drank together, and even a few servants helped take off their pants in the thatched house......
It's just that he, Li Mao, as a traverser, is afraid that he will follow him like this, and he has no space for his own activities...... You know, it's really hard to pretend to be innocent...... It's too hard......
As Li Mao was quietly distracted and briefly reviewed his growth path, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and the breathing sound of Qiu Xiang and Big and Small Shuang'er was like a warning lingering in Li Mao's ears.
In an instant, the nerve in Li Mao's mind tightened again, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little hasty, because as a teenage boy, he couldn't and shouldn't understand the jealousy between women, let alone intimidate the agent of his own mother in front of him, her words and deeds were on behalf of her dear mother, such behavior was not only abnormal, but also very stupid.
So in order to cover up her recklessness, Li Mao deliberately stretched out her hand and pointed directly at Qiu Xiang's dead girl's head to play the role of a rebellious young man, and then pretended to do it, but after trembling for a long time, she still couldn't do it. In the end, he could only talk to himself as if he was soft.
"It's not helped, it's not saved, you dead girl is really hopeless, don't you have any thoughts of your own except for the order of the concubine? You're really sorry that Lao Tzu gave you the stage name Qiu Xiang, do you know how important the name Qiu Xiang is to this king? ”
Just when Li Mao said this, the big and small twins who were originally kneeling on the ground honestly raised their little heads coldly and looked at him with puzzled eyes, and Li Mao instantly remembered the same thing after being looked at like this, and he seemed to have said the same thing to these two twins a long time ago.
So without waiting for the two to ask, he hurriedly glared at the two of them to hide his embarrassment, and then reorganized his language before continuing to count down Sister Qiu Xiang on the other side.
"By the way, you're only sixteen years old, aren't you? It's not much older than this king, how can you grow old and become this virtue, flower girl! Do you know what a flower girl is? You should be the most innocent, carefree, energetic and self-liberating period at your age, you know? ”
"The slave and maid don't understand, and the slave and maid also want to save some effort to talk to Your Highness, but Your Highness ...... you"
"Hey, you still dare to talk back, did this king let you talk back? Look at you, yes, look at you, have you gained two or three pounds recently, I have already told you that our Shou Wangfu does not regard obesity as beauty, right? Think about your previous body, that curve, and look at your melon seed face now, it's going to be gone, big sister......"
Li Mao deviated from the topic emotionally as she spoke, and then stood up to Qiu Xiang and danced in front of her.
"What does Your Highness mean? Do you want to use words to ridicule Qiu Xiang's posture is still not rich enough? But Qiu Xiang's three meals a day have already been increased, and the cream cake developed by His Royal Highness recently seems to have some effect, in fact, Qiu Xiang doesn't want to lose the face of the Shouwang Mansion......
"You...... Get up, when the king didn't say it, but you don't want to eat the cream cake in the future, and the big and small shuang'er are the same as the two of you foodies, in addition, what did you just say, by the way, in the past few years, our master and servant have often moved away and crumpled and crumbled, and there are no more than dozens of times to communicate about big truths and small human accidents, why can't you listen to it at all? Do you use everything to report to your mother? And if she is a little slimmer, she will not be beautiful? ”
Li Mao really didn't know what to say in the end, anyway, after talking about such a big thing, seeing that Qiu Xiang, the dead girl, couldn't hold back her smile and didn't make a sound, she knew that the matter was fooled by how she said it nonsense, and since the soft words had been said, then the next thing could only be fiddled with by the three girls.
So he immediately stood up like a puppeteer and stretched out his hand, waiting for the big and small pairs to wait for them to get dressed. Qiu Xiang saw that Li Mao was obedient and quickly got up from the ground, and then walked out of the house to take the towel hot water that the maids had already sent.
When she turned around and returned to the three of them, she didn't know if it was done on purpose, and before Li Mao opened her mouth to refuse, she quickly cocked her orchid finger and dipped a large lump of green salt from the sticker box into Li Mao's mouth, and the friction back and forth seemed to be much heavier than usual.
"Hmm...... Not...... Dead girl, you take the opportunity to take revenge on this king...... Not......? Tap! Can this finger be used as a toothbrush? Bah...... Why can't I even make a cake with a soft-bristled toothbrush? Not...... Not...... Still...... Come...... Hmm, Xiao Shuang'er, you don't have to do anything today, first go and find some animal hair for this king, what cattle, sheep, foxes, rabbits, horses...... 's Mao will find more and let Wangcai know by himself...... Other than that...... Not...... Not...... Go out on the street and find a few brush-making masters......"
"Whew...... Xiaoshuang will go find more in a while, but Your Highness, don't speak now that you have a sandalwood in your mouth......"
The three of them worked together for more than half an hour, and Li Mao was finally escorted to the gate by the packages of the outer three layers and the inner three layers, and at this time, Gao Lishi, who was sitting in the carriage, also rushed to the gate with a panicked expression.
"Eh, His Royal Highness King Shou, why did you just come out, the time is urgent, the slave and maid will not greet you, let's go into the palace to face the saint!"
"Lao Gao, I haven't seen you for many days, your old demeanor is still the same, don't worry, don't worry, wait a while, this king will let people go and get you some good things!"
Gao Lishi waited at the door for a long time, and he had to teach a few words to someone else or other princes and nobles, and he was the first person next to the saint. But today, he really didn't dare to be too reckless with this young prince in front of him, not to mention that his favored mother concubine was protecting him, just the methods of those ghosts and goblins in this kid's daily life He was also afraid of it, and he didn't dare to try it.
