Chapter 10: The Imperial Capital (3)
"Who is losing your temper like that?"
Before Chen Liu's feet stepped out of the door of the Chunluan Palace, a leisurely male voice came from outside. Everyone was stunned when they heard this voice, and then they hurriedly knelt down. Chu Zhixia also realized the identity of the person who came, and followed to salute.
"See Your Majesty, see Concubine Rong."
The bright yellow robe slowly walked to Chu Zhixia's side, and helped her up with condescension.
Chu Zhixia saw the emperor's face clearly, he was about thirty years old, his eyes were not fierce, nor domineering, he was kind like a teacher in the school.
"Looks like your brother." The emperor clapped her hand and sighed, "Your brother has to guard the border for me again, and he has to discipline you." I heard that you have an uninhibited temperament, even your second brother can't control it. King Zhenbei has had a hard time these years. ”
"It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to His Majesty." Chu Zhixia replied in a regular manner.
"Don't be restrained, if there is anything lacking in the imperial capital in the future, just open your mouth; If someone bullies you, just enter the palace and tell me. The emperor's eyes glanced at Miss Chen Liu, who was kneeling behind him, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Your Majesty laughed." Chu Shixia joked, "Courtiers don't bully others, and when they are accused of you, my brother has to thank God." ”
The Emperor laughed loudly and waved his hand, "Get up." ”
At the beginning of the feast, the delicious delicacies like flowing water were brought to the table, and there were many products that had never been seen in the clouds. But this time, no one dared to open their mouths to ridicule Chu Zhixia for not having knowledge.
Leaving the cover of the bead curtain, Concubine Rong was also exposed to Chu Zhixia's gaze.
She is not as beautiful as rumored to charm all beings, her makeup is plain, her eyebrows and eyes are like distant mountains, and she only has a pair of lips that are not dotted. Concubine Rong waited respectfully beside the emperor, and the movements of the two were not charming.
It's far from the faint monarch and the demon concubine written in the book.
Chu Zhixia shook his head and sighed.
In the previous life, after Chu Mingxiu died in the imperial capital, the situation in the DPRK and China was chaotic.
The emperor died violently in the palace in the same absurd way, and it didn't take long for the Chunluan Palace to be burned clean by a fire, and there was no longer a word of this "demon concubine" in the market. Empress Chen, who worshiped the Buddha sincerely, walked out of the Buddhist hall and helped her eldest son ascend the throne.
The meal could not be eaten peacefully, and the palace maid beside the Queen Mother came and asked Chu Zhixia to come over and talk after eating.
Empress Dowager Chen, an old lady who doesn't leave the door and doesn't go out of the second door, what can she say to Chu Zhixia. It's just that Chu Zhixia is gone, how long he will say, and whether he wants to stay after he finishes is another matter.
On the surface, it was just a change of residence, but in fact, Chu Zhixia was pinched in someone's hands, and there should be a number in the clouds.
Chu Zhixia didn't refuse, nor did he agree, he just looked at the emperor on the throne and asked.
The emperor said with a cold expression, "It's already late when the banquet is over, and knowing the temper of the Xia child, I won't go over to disturb the mother's purity." ”
"That's fine." The palace maid did not retreat at all, "What the queen mother means is that I heard that Miss Chu injured a prince on the street before entering the palace. The king of the north of the town was busy with official duties and neglected to discipline, so he entered the palace in the future and was taught by the queen mother. ”
"That's not a son, but a ruffian who wants to insult me." Chu Zhixia said lightly, "It is exactly what happened on my way into the palace, Your Majesty can find someone to inquire." ”
The emperor understood the meaning of her words, and his face became even more ugly, "The queen mother is in the palace, and she is well-informed." I see that Xia has been taught very well, and there is no need to bother the queen mother. ”
The palace maid was about to speak, but the angry emperor had already smashed a wine glass, "I am the emperor, you dog slave is going to turn against the sky!" ”
The daughters in the banquet trembled with fright, and they didn't dare to breathe. Chu Zhixia pretended to be scared and hid a little smile on his lips.
The emperor has been a puppet of the Chen family for a long time, and he is most annoyed with others, especially those related to the Chen family, who disobey him. The same is true for his love for Concubine Rong, who is meek and easy to control, can make him forget those shames for a while.
Concubine Rong hurriedly grabbed the emperor, smoothed the breath in his chest for him, and scolded the palace maid who was smashed to the head and bleed, "Why don't you go back to the Queen Mother, can you afford to make a mistake!" ”
——
Chu Zhi Xia An walked out of the palace safely, rolled up the curtains a little on the carriage, and the cold wind came in.
"Miss, don't blow the wind when you drink, you'll get cold." Yuzhu chattered, "Fang Cai is really scared to death of the slave maid, if you are really left in the palace......"
"If I am left in the palace, you will go back to the clouds." Chu Zhixia drank the wine, with a thin layer of red on his cheeks, and his eyes were misty.
"What the eldest lady said, where the eldest lady is, of course Yuzhu has to follow." Yuzhu complained.
"The walls of this palace are too high, if I am left in the palace, you can go back to the clouds for me, and see if the moon in the clouds is just as far away."
"Isn't it the same moon that you see in the four seas?" Yuzhu shook her head, "The eldest lady is really drunk...... Yes! ”
The cat-like figure landed on the roof of the carriage and flipped in neatly, causing Yuzhu to scream in fright. Shen Zhou didn't pay attention to her, just frowned and put his hand on Chu Zhixia's forehead. Chu Zhixia coveted the coldness in his hand, and reached out to grab it to prevent him from pulling it back.
"Shen Zhou, you are really," Yuzhu rolled her eyes angrily, "I will be scared to death by you sooner or later." Can you stop popping up from some strange places? ”
She opened the window just to let me in. Shen Zhou gestured indifferently, then stretched out his hand to wrap Chu Shixia tightly and hugged him into his arms.
Chu Zhixia was not drunk, but Shen Zhou's embrace was familiar and warm, and she simply fell asleep.
——
As soon as the morning dawned, the carriage in the palace sent a few pots of flowers and plants carefully tended by the emperor to the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence, and allowed the daughter of the Chu family to live outside the palace. The emperor's love for the Chu family was revealed, and there was an uproar in the court.
"It is rumored that the Chu family army in the clouds is brave and good at fighting, the man stands taller than a bear, and the woman can also kill a fierce horse with her bare hands." The storyteller stroked his beard, folded his fan and pointed to the country, "The eldest lady of the Chu family has a face like a yaksha, holding a stainless steel trident, and cut off the head of the person in front of the carriage as if she was cutting wheat!" ”
"Miss Chu is an arrogant and moody character in the clouds, and if something goes wrong, she will beat people to death, drink people's blood and eat human flesh......"
The storyteller gushes endlessly, and his mouth is like a river.
The eldest lady of the Chu family herself held a dish of brine tofu and sat at the back of the stage, listening with relish.
Shen Zhou also listened very carefully, and from time to time he had to ask Chu Zhixia in sign language: "What is a Yaksha?" ”
Shen Zhou is a piece of wood that can't understand good words, and he can only distinguish the most superficial good and bad from people's expressions, but he heard the title of "Miss Chu Family", so he paid extra attention.
"Compliment me on my good looks." Chu Zhixia said nonsense.
Shen Zhou looked at her with a slight suspicion.
Chu Zhixia took out a few pieces of broken silver from his belt and photographed them in the shop, "I want to listen to something else, the imperial capital is a city of ten thousand cities, there are countless rich merchants and dignitaries, what do you always say about the hillbillies in the clouds?" ”
The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles, and he agreed and went forward. Before the shopkeeper could pass through the crowd, there was already a quarrel in front of the stage.
"The Chu clan in the clouds has been guarding the border for more than a hundred years, so you straw bales can live in peace, and you are still arranging the daughters of the Chu family here." The sword-eyed young man pointed at a few sons and said angrily, "You guys are ridiculous. ”
"Master Yan Xiaohou, listen to a story, why be so serious. Could it be that you have admired the dominatrix of the Chu family for a long time, and you are in a hurry? The boy grinned.
Shen Zhou suddenly blessed his heart, and said to Chu Zhixia with a cold face, "They are scolding you." ”
Declarative sentences.
Before Chu Shixia could deny it with a clear conscience, Shen Zhou suddenly picked up the saltwater tofu in her hand and smashed it out with the plate.
The saucer bloomed on the back of the head of the thief-eyed boy, he was smashed into a daze, and after consciously touching the blood coming out of the back of his head, he roared angrily, "Who did it?" ”
Chu Zhixia had no other choice, so he had to stand up and say, "I, the Chu clan in the clouds, Chu Zhixia." ”
The audience in the library looked sideways, and all that echoed in their ears were the murderous Chu family in the clouds, the eldest lady Ru Mao drinking blood, and the words and voices were hoarse. Although she doesn't have three heads, six hands, and stands as tall as a beam like the storyteller's mouth, who knows if she's a demon with a beast's heart?
Everyone was afraid that the eldest lady would harm the pond fish, so they hurriedly ran outside.
"Chu Zhixia? You're so good. The boy who was smashed gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "Give it to me, I want this dead girl to kneel and admit my mistakes!" ”
There were panicked listeners and countless tables and chairs between the two groups of people, Chu Shixia should have had no fear, but the little marquis Yan who had never known anything suddenly pressed the shoulders of a lackey and threw the person straight on the stage.
The planks cracked, and the eagle lackeys glared at him.
This is to relieve Chu Zhixia.
Yan Xiaohou Ye was surrounded by a group of people, but he did not move, like a stubborn stone in the torrent.
Chu Zhixia Fei stepped on the table and chair, and approached this group of people in a blink of an eye. The half-grown boys were carrying knives, and when they saw her coming, they brandished their sheathed knives and cut them down at her. Chu Zhixia kicked the table and smashed it with his head and face.
Shen Zhou followed her, and the whole person stepped on the table, pressing the two people under the table fiercely. Someone rushed over to rescue his companions, but was kicked away by the sunken boat's legs, and fell heavily on the tea water that had not been evacuated, and a table of tea cups was torn apart.
Dog's breakfast.
Chu Zhixia glanced at the unlucky guy who was opened, and said thoughtfully, "Who is Ling Zun?" ”
"Dada, Dali Temple Qing ......"
It's good not the regent.
Otherwise, the regent's children will be offended in a short period of time, and the regent will probably not be able to believe it if she didn't mean it.
Chu Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief and smashed a punch in his face, giving him a poke in the right eye. Chu Zhixia shook his fingers and looked at the stunned Yan Xiaohouye, "Don't you run yet?" If you don't leave, Yu Linwei will come. ”
The Gyeonggi camp was in charge of the security of the imperial capital, but all cases involving the children of the powerful were under the control of Yulin Guard. These teenagers traveled with knives, obviously high-ranking dignitaries, and I am afraid that someone had already run out to inform Yu Linwei.
This Yan Xiaohou looks very young, about the same age as them, and he is tough and handsome. But at this moment he showed an expression that was indescribable, as if he was hesitating about something.
"He is the ...... of Yu Lin Wei"
Brother Gongzi, who was knocked to the ground by Chu Zhixia's punch, cried.
