Chapter 9: Punishment for drunkenness
Near evening, Guiyan really couldn't bear it, Zi Xiao and Xiaolu kept playing the flute and making music, he knew that Xiaolu liked to drink, so he proposed to take Xiaolu to Guanghan Palace to ask for osmanthus wine to drink.
The injury on the deer's leg has basically healed, and he has been in a small courtyard for four months, and he really wants to go out to breathe.
Zi Xiao saw that the fawn's face was looking forward to it, and he also agreed.
The three teenagers said that they would leave, and together they walked out of the stone gate of Xiyi Immortal Mansion, Zi Xiao and Guiyan pulled the deer and turned into green smoke and went straight to Guanghan Palace.
Coming to the gate of Guanghan Palace, after Zi Xiao reported that His Royal Highness the Seventh and Ninth Highnesses had come to visit, a fairy boy led the three in. Fairy Chang'e was waiting at the entrance of the palace, greeting each other with gifts.
I saw that the fairy Chang'e looked like a jade face, her eyes turned to **, Ling Bo walked slightly with cloud sleeves and incense, and said like a quiet orchid, "Chang'e, meet the two highnesses."
Zi Xiao returned the salute to explain the intention, "Fairy, it's polite...... Today I came to ask for a cup of osmanthus wine, which may disturb the purity of the fairy."
Chang'e returned the salute, "It is an honor for my Guanghan Palace to be favored by the two highnesses, Your Highness, please", Chang'e introduced the three of Zi Xiao into the palace.
After everyone greeted each other for a while, Fairy Chang'e, who was not smiling and had a cold temperament, excused herself and left, leaving Wu Gang to lead the three of them to taste wine under the osmanthus tree.
Under the osmanthus tree in Guanghan Palace, the clear light is sufficient, and the cinnamon fragrance strikes people......
Wu Gang took out the osmanthus wine, and the aroma overflowed as soon as the altar was opened.
The greedy deer drank cup after cup, drank with a smile and a smile, she was so happy......
Guiyan fought with the deer proudly, and was soon half drunk, how to laugh and the deer guessed the fist and pressed the fingers, every time he lost, he hung his head and paused, and after a while, he was drunk with a round little face, grabbed the deer and shouted, "Come again, come again, I don't believe that I can't win you...... Six, nine, haha, fawn, you lose, drink...... You, Xiaolu, I, Guiyan's friend...... Eternal life is ...... Why? You're not happy?".
Xiaolu saw that Guiyan's alcohol consumption was really not good, she deliberately faked to lose, which caused Guiyan to be proud for a while, Xiaolu looked at Guiyan who was already drunk, and replied: "Happy! Guiyan is Xiaolu's friend...... Alas, I lost again, I drank".
Zi Xiao's cheeks also turned crimson, and he reminded with a big tongue, "Guiyan, get drunk, don't let him ...... Drink it again".
"I'm not drunk......! How can it be, in front of a woman...... admit it", as soon as Guiyan finished speaking, he drunk and crawled on the case and fell asleep.
The drunk Zi Xiao let go a lot, his fair face was like dyed with morning glow, his clear eyes were shining, he looked at the deer, and when he saw Guiyan lying down, he laughed and said, "Hahahaha, it's still hard-mouthed, drunk...... Fawn, your amount of alcohol, it's so good!".
Xiaolu blinked her big eyes and responded with a smile at Zixiao, she was still thinking about Fairy Chang'e's smile just now, she held her chin with both hands, tilted her head and said to Zixiao: "Zixiao, Fairy Chang'e is so good-looking......! Well, it's beautiful!"
Zi Xiao's drunken eyes were hazy, staring at the deer deeply and obsessively, and said vaguely: "She...... No, you are beautiful!".
"Ah?!......h
Xiaolu was simply speechless, put his face in front of Zixiao, tilted his head to look left and right, and pouted and "sneered" at Zixiao's hot and drunken eyes.
Alas, when will Zixiao be like Guiyan to coax people? He is really drunk, and he can't even tell the difference between beauty and ugliness when he is drunk, and his mouth is full of nonsense.
Xiaolu didn't care about Zixiao's affectionate gaze, she took care of herself with a wine glass, enjoying the scenery in the Moon Palace, and saw that Wu Gang was busy making wine not far away, and a jade rabbit was lying on the grass and looking around.
Seeing that Wu Gang was looking at her, Xiaolu raised his wine glass and shouted to Wu Gang: "This osmanthus wine deserves the reputation of being the first in the world......!" Good workmanship, thanks!".
Wu Gang hugged his fists from afar and returned a sincere smile to Xiaolu.
Xiaolu saw that Zi Xiao, who was already half-drunk, was about to pick up the wine glass again, and hurriedly reached out to hold the cup and proposed: "Zi Xiao, don't drink it, play a tune."
The half-drunk Zi Xiao was not as shy and introverted as before, but also much bolder, staring at it with hot eyes, and his favorite pair of watery eyes, with drunken charm, asked infinitely gently: "Okay! Xiaolu, what do you want to hear?"
"Anything!"
Zi Xiao smiled indulgently, took out the jade flute and blew it, and with Zi Xiao's resentful and complaining flute sound, the deer enjoyed the scenery alone and drank wine.
Listening to the sound of the flute and whimpering, mixed emotions inexplicably rushed to the heart of the deer, she didn't know where she came from, where was her home, she didn't know the past, and she was even more confused about the future...... Before I knew it, the fawn's eyes were filled with sad tears.
Zi Xiao was playing a tune, but her eyes didn't leave for a moment, and she still had the jade face of a childish fawn, and when she saw the tears welling up in her eyes, she also began to feel sorry for her.
Zixiao suddenly felt very sorry for the little girl in front of her, and wanted to protect her, didn't want her to be sad, and didn't want to see her hurt.
Stopping to play, Zi Xiao comforted him gently, "Xiaolu, you're sad?...... Don't be upset, okay? I, I'll ...... What protects yours will protect you for the rest of your life...... No! protect you...... Life after life. Zi Xiao did what he said and never broke his word...... Take this cup as an oath".
After Zi Xiao finished speaking, he grabbed the wine glass in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, and then slammed the glass on the ground, and the wine glass "snapped" and was shattered.
The sound of shattering caused Wu Gang to look at this side with concern, and Yutu was so frightened that he ran away without a trace.
Xiaolu smiled awkwardly at Wu Gang, and Wu Gang also smiled and nodded in understanding.
Xiaolu's eyes were full of tears of gratitude, and when she was most helpless and helpless, she was still very moved to hear such warm words.
Tilting his head and suppressing the tears in his eyes, the deer trembled slightly, and responded: "Zixiao, thank you...... I'm not sad I'm happy today, drink!", the fawn raised his glass and drank it with tears in his eyes.
"You, aren't you...... Don't remember...... What happened in the past?", the drunk Zi Xiao asked straightforwardly, he really wanted to help and protect, this girl who made his heart pound.
The fawn suddenly raised her head, her teary eyes widened, her secret was discovered, she was still a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "You, how do you know?"
Zi Xiao's drunken red eyes looked at the deer, there was light and temperature in his eyes, he was afraid that the deer would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained vaguely: "Since I was a child, I studied medicine with my mother, my mother, who was once from the Medicine King's Mansion...... Medicine fairy, I can see some ...... Deer, the ...... When you are a friend, you have nothing to talk about, and you are intimate. You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't...... There is Zixiao, and the deer can rest assured...... I will, heal you".
Although Zixiao's words were vague, Xiaolu understood it, she grinned bitterly and said, "Thank you! Xiaolu ...... If there is something in the future, I will no longer hide it from Zixiao, we are now ...... Good friends, for a lifetime...... No, they are good friends for life."
Zixiao's wine strength came up, and his thoughts became even more confused, he smirked and grabbed Xiao Wu's hand, grinding and chattering in his mouth, "Well, Zixiao and Xiaolu are best friends...... Never separated, that kind, life after life, forever, never separated......".
As the night got darker, the fawn wanted Zi Xiao to sober up before leaving, so he let Zi Xiao blow two more quiet and graceful tunes. When the interest comes, the fawn sometimes fingers the case, matches the rhythm of the flute, sometimes improvises the words, and whispers: "It's rare to meet a confidant, and it's even more difficult to find a bosom friend, one gets two wishes, and the husband is ?...... what he expects."
The fawn poured itself a drink, and the drink was very pleasant, and the two teenagers met with brilliance in their eyes, smiled, and the sparks of collision rushed into each other's hearts......
Late at night, the three teenagers caressed each other and said goodbye. Because Guiyan was so drunk, they could only choose to ride the clouds, laughing all the way......
The fawn looked around with big eyes, and when it saw the bright Tianhe, the fawn shouted excitedly: "It's so beautiful! Zixiao, look, the moon! What a big moon, and so many stars!"
Zi Xiao looked at the girl with thousands of stars in her eyes with drunken eyes, and couldn't help but "bang" her heart beating again.
The intoxicated Guiyan was awakened by the shouting of the deer, and in a daze, hehe smirked, still persuading the wine, "Hehe, Xiaolu...... drinking".
"Hahahaha...... Guiyan, there is no more wine...... Oh, you're so heavy, stand up straight", Xiao Wu was uncomfortable being pressed by Guiyan's limp body, she reminded with a smile.
While they were talking, a tall, burly man suddenly climbed into their clouds and silently startled them.
When Zi Xiao saw the person clearly, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell.
Zi Xiao suddenly woke up three points of wine, and shouted vaguely and timidly: "Prince...... Brother".
Guiyan was woken up, rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, hehe smirked, and muttered: "Hehe, prince...... Brother, hehe".
The person who came was none other than the prince of the Celestial Clan.
Coldly looking at Zi Xiao and the little girl supporting, Gui Yan, who was drunk and only knew how to smirk, Qingtian's face was dark and terrifying, his sharp eyes and Xiaolu's clear gaze touched, Xiaolu felt a sudden coldness in his heart, his body shook unconsciously, and he was busy not turning his head to avoid the prince's unfriendly gaze.
Qingtian picked up Guiyan with a cold face, kept silent, and flew towards Yongzheng Palace together.
When he arrived at the Chenghua Palace, Qingtian placed Guiyan on the couch and went back to the study to sit behind the desk.
Zi Xiao trembled and staggered over and knelt in front of the case, and pulled the deer to kneel down together.
"Say!what's going on?", Qingtian asked, his face full of anger.
"Go, go to Guanghan Palace, and ask for a glass of osmanthus wine...... Drink", because he was drunk, Zi Xiao's speech was slurred, and his words were vague and intermittent.
"You are so bold! You actually learned to drink, and you took your brother badly, and you got drunk like this, and you really have no rules!"
Qingtian scolded angrily, and when he saw that Zi Xiao was kneeling crookedly, he was even more annoyed, pointing at Zi Xiao and ordering the guards: "Come on, wake up His Highness the Seventh."
"Wait a minute...... Splashing water will make Zi Xiao sick, you are the eldest brother, naturally you don't want to see him sick, today's matter, I'll tell you", the righteous deer couldn't help but interject, she must not watch Zi Xiao get hurt because of herself.
Qingtian turned to the fawn angrily, and saw the little girl kneeling straight in front of him, with a red and childish face, and big clear and agile eyes like a mountain spring, looking at him calmly.
Qingtian knew about Xiaolu, he had seen her from afar in Xiyi Immortal Mansion, and he had also learned some strange things about her flying out of Xuanqi Pond, writing well, and not being able to tell where she came from. He was investigating her, but he didn't expect to meet in such a way today.
Seeing that Qingtian didn't answer, Xiaolu said to himself: "My name is Xiaolu, and I was taken in by Xiyi Immortal Mansion to recuperate from my injuries, and I ...... with the two highnesses Oh, sort of a friend."
Xiaolu turned his head to support the handle, knelt beside her, drunk and lost his spirit, and suddenly leaned on her Zixiao, and after holding Zixiao steady, he continued: "Because I was injured, I have been stuffy in the immortal mansion for a long time, and the two highnesses are kind enough to take me out to breathe...... Because I love wine on weekdays, I went to Guanghan Palace to ask for osmanthus wine to drink...... Unexpectedly, the two highnesses drank lightly, and they got drunk after only a few glasses."
Qingtian looked up and down at the little girl in front of him who spoke calmly, and his brows tightened.
Qing Tian was very curious, the first time he saw his old and young, men and women, basically he would be as restrained and scared as a cicada, and the little girl in front of him was not only not afraid of herself at all, but for a moment she could feel that she didn't take herself seriously at all. This feeling made the arrogant Qingtian very unhappy, and he still ignored the fawn with a black face.
Seeing that the prince still didn't squeak, Xiaolu didn't care, and continued to argue: "I don't think it's wrong to drink, it's wrong to drink to make trouble, make trouble, and make mistakes...... Today, although the two Highnesses are drunk, they have not made trouble, disorder, or mistakes, so I don't think they can be considered wrong...... On the contrary, the sincerity with which they treat their friends is truly admirable."
The crown prince Qingtian glanced at the articulate and eloquent deer, and finally couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Hmph! According to what you say, they are drunk, and they have to be rewarded?"
Seeing the prince's response, Xiaolu immediately took over the conversation, "Back to the prince's words, there is no need to be rewarded, but it should not be punished...... Of course, according to the old customs, it is believed that you should not drink alcohol at a young age, mainly for fear of hurting your body and brain...... I've been drinking since I was a child, and I really didn't notice any harm...... Well, I'm actually pretty smart...... However, I know that I am humble and powerless to defend myself, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sticks to the convention and thinks that it is wrong to be drunk today, then I am willing to bear all the punishments...... After all, today's incident is caused by my love of wine, and my drunkenness is caused by my persuasion to drink, so the fault lies with me, please do not punish the two highnesses."
Xiaolu had already heard Guiyan and Zixiao tell how strict and difficult their eldest brother was, and on the day they met, they hid out because they were afraid of punishment for their schoolwork, but they were still beaten. Xiaolu didn't want the brothers to be punished for taking her out, and since it didn't make sense, then she should bear all the faults.
Qingtian looked at the little girl with great interest, listening to her unceremoniously praise herself for being smart, and he felt very funny and funny in his heart, he wanted to see how the little girl acted next, so he said: "If you are wrong, you have to be punished, what if you have to punish them?"
Xiaolu's expression was solemn, his eyes were pure and sincere, and he replied aloud without thinking: "Being punished for being kind will make me feel guilty, and it will be difficult to face my friends, which is unrighteousness."
Xiaolu looked at it again and helped him with concern, and Zixiao, who was about to fall, leaned on his shoulder, and continued: "There was a sage Hongning before, who was punished on behalf of his younger brother, and his brother cried and said: My brother is in pain and my brother's heart is in pain, and my heart hurts even more, and my brother does not dare to make mistakes again, and he is more and more respectful to his brother, which is a brother and a friend...... Therefore, I conclude that you, who are as bright as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will not punish the two Highnesses...... I will not do anything that is unjust to me or unfriendly to Your Highness."
Xiaolu paused, and didn't notice that Qingtian's face was more gloomy, and added: "Besides, the teaching is also taught first, and the correct guidance is second, I believe that the two highnesses are drunk for the first time, and they should be taught first...... Punishment without teaching is definitely not done by a big husband!".
Good thoughts! Good teeth! Optimus sighed in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing Zixiao leaning softly on the little girl's shoulder, Qingtian, who was a little aggrieved by the little girl's words, felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.
Qingtian suddenly remembered that day in Xiyi Immortal Mansion, when the little girl raised her crutches and beat Guiyan, she felt that the little girl in front of her was indeed bold and unreasonable, and she should be punished and know how to restrain her arrogant words and deeds.
Qingtian sneered, his voice was like ice, and he said coldly: "Hmph! Okay, you have said so much, Benjun thinks that there is some truth in it." Okay! Benjun will not punish his brothers this time...... However, just now you yourself admitted that it is not right for children to drink alcohol when they are matured according to the agreement, and it is you who is drunk because of you, and you are the one who connives, then you will not escape punishment."
"I am willing to bear any punishment!"
"Well, I'll punish you for kneeling here for two hours...... Punish you again?...... Be a maid in Yongzheng Palace...... One hundred years".
"Huh?!?...... A hundred years?!"
When the little deer heard this, he was stunned by five thunderbolts, and sat down on the ground with his soul flying away! The calmness and confidence he had just now suddenly disappeared.
Seeing that the little girl lost her armor and was defeated, the corners of Qingtian's mouth hooked a trace of a flashing evil smile, he was very proud, and hummed coldly in his heart: "Hmph, little thing, dare to speak in front of this gentleman, reverse black and white, you, still tender."
Seeing that the little girl was still blindfolded, Qingtian felt happy in his heart, and felt that Zixiao, who was already drowsy and leaning on the little girl, was very rude and dazzling, so he called the guards and ordered: "Come here, send the Seventh Highness down to rest."
Zi Xiao was woken up by the guards, grabbed the deer's hand and didn't let go, and shouted again and again: "Don't......!
The deer, who had a loveless expression, grinned bitterly at Zi Xiao with a side face, and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry! Go to sleep."
Qingtian motioned to the guards and forcibly took Zi Xiao out. He ignored the fawn anymore, picked up the book and read it to himself.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I, I...... I can't...... As a handmaid, I was separated from my family, and I was going to look for ...... They must be anxious if they can't find me...... Please be gracious to the prince...... Can you change it...... Other punishments? Wow wow......"
After being silent for a while, Xiaolu finally regained his senses, opened his mouth to discuss with Qingtian, and cried aggrieved as he spoke, and finally cried "wow", big tears like beads with broken threads, flowing wantonly on the beautiful face, poor appearance, and the momentum of talking just now, it is like two people.
"No, you can't!"
The prince Qingtian widened, and the little girl who had already cried into tears was completely unmoved, and he gave a categorical answer. Qing Tian suddenly felt that this little girl was getting more and more interesting, and her face was like a chameleon, and she changed as she spoke.
"I ......", Xiaolu still wants to fight.
"Benjun, my mind has been decided, don't talk about it again!", Qingtian sharply interrupted the little girl's desire to fight, he had just learned her sophistry ability.
Xiaolu knew in his heart that it was useless to ask for more, so he knelt on the ground straight, completely looking like he was loveless.
The tears fell to the ground and shattered, and the fawn looked at her broken teardrops, and felt that her heart was also broken, and she fell into pain, and her trance-like spirit did not know where to go?
Qingtian peeked at the stubborn, sad, and distracted little girl kneeling in front of him several times, and he began to wonder what the little girl was thinking at the moment......
The study was silent, so silent that you could hear the subtle breaking sound of the little girl's tears hitting the ground. Seeing the little girl squirming her obviously uncomfortable body several times, Qingtian remembered that the little girl had a wound on her leg, and a trace of distress and concern suddenly arose in his heart, which made him unable to calm down anymore and review the recital......
In the end, he really couldn't hold back, and Qingtian called someone to take the fawn down to rest in advance.
Looking at the back of the little girl who left in anger and despair, Qingtian suddenly felt that the emotions of loss and melancholy were spreading in his heart......
Early in the morning of the second day, Zi Xiao was anxiously looking for the deer, and happened to see the deer coming from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the sleeve of the fawn's robe to check, and he vaguely remembered that the fawn was punished by the prince's brother to kneel.
"I'm fine, send me back to Xiyi Immortal Mansion now", Xiaolu said, pulling the corners of her mouth, but she didn't laugh, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Why was he punished so severely? To be a slave for a hundred years, Xiaolu couldn't accept this cruel fact in his heart.
After Zi Xiao sent the deer back to the Immortal Mansion, he directly turned back to the palace to find Guiyan. Before leaving, he told the fawn that he would bring the green bird with him next time, and thoughtfully gave the fawn a bottle of trauma medicine.
