Chapter 66: Not at Home
On the way to Xishi, you can pass through the Chu Palace, so Xue Jinyi went first.
It's been almost two hours since the King of Chu ran out of the city with her, and it would be more swaggering to think about going out, and Zhao Wen'er had no fun staying alone in the eldest princess's mansion, and the lovers must be at home at ease.
She bought a hat at a roadside stall before entering the city gate, and swaggered down the street.
"Huh?" She saw a familiar voice and reached out to grab it.
"Hey, hey, hey, who are you, dare to catch me?!"
The shrill shouting and scolding sounded, causing passers-by to look at each other.
Xue Jinyi lowered her voice and said: "At this time, don't study hard at home, run outside to spread wild, and be careful that the housewife grabs you and beats your palm." ”
"Huh?" Xue Huai felt that this voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't see the person's face clearly through the white veil, "Who are you?" ”
"It's me." There was no fear on this kid's face, and Xue Jinyi lifted a little white veil so that Xue Huai could see his appearance.
Xue Huai looked around, and hurriedly took Xue Jinyi's hand and walked towards the place in front where there were few people, "Shouldn't you enjoy flowers and drink in the eldest princess's mansion?" How did it end up here? Sneak out, Madame still doesn't smoke you? ”
Seeing that the little guy was worried about his appearance, Xue Jinyi covered her mouth and smiled, "Isn't it to find a master to teach you martial arts?" ”
"Huh?" Xue Huai was skeptical.
"It's a pity ......" Xue Jinyi sighed, looking at the mask man's posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, it is probably more unrealistic to teach Xue Huai martial arts than the sun coming out of the west.
She stopped talking, making Xue Huai anxious and asked, "What is a pity?" ”
"It's a pity that the man's temperament is too weird, please can't do it." Xue Jinyi shook her head, very sorry.
Xue Huai frowned and stabbed Xue Jinyi with his elbow, "How do I feel that you are being bullied." ”
"Nothing." Xue Jinyi denied it, but unconsciously rubbed her palms.
If you meet the mask man again, you must take revenge and come back.
Xue Huai patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, "Okay, I'll figure it out myself." By the way, what are you doing here now? How did you get out of the eldest princess's mansion? You can't be bullied and run away in the princess's mansion, right? ”
"I came out with the King of Chu in a bright light, and then went their own way, but I have something important to do now to go to the King of Chu's mansion......"
"I'll go with you!" Xue Huai's eyes widened, "If a fool like you goes alone, you won't know if you're being bullied." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll ask the second brother to protect me." Xue Jinyi said with a smile.
The two came to the back door of the Chu Palace, Xue Huai stepped forward and knocked on the door for a long time, and finally saw Zhao Wen'er come to open the door.
"Don't you have any other subordinates in the Chu Palace?" Xue Huai covered his aching palm and asked unhappily.
"It has nothing to do with you." Zhao Wen'er said coldly, when she saw the person standing behind Xue Huai, her arrogant attitude changed a little, she coughed dryly, and asked in a softened tone, "Miss Xue?" What's the matter with you? ”
She was mixed with fear and disgust in her heart, this Xue Jinyi said it soundly good, but as a result, she seduced the king of Chu and left, leaving her alone in the eldest princess's mansion, and everyone's attitude towards her did not change at all.
What are you talking about becoming allies, I don't know what tricks Xue Jinyi has in her belly!
But she faintly hoped in her heart that Xue Jinyi could really do something as she said, so that she and the King of Chu could be together in the name of justice......
In this world, besides her, who else is qualified to stand by the side of the King of Chu and accompany him for a lifetime?
Xue Jinyi pretended not to see Zhao Wen'er's complicated eyes, and said with a smile: "Of course, there are important things to discuss with the King of Chu. ”
"Your Highness is not in the palace." Zhao Wen'er felt like she had been poked in the sore spot, and said impatiently.
Xue Jinyi thought that she didn't want to meet the king of Chu by herself, and said: "Miss Wen'er, I do have something important to discuss with the king of Chu and you, if this matter is done, you will lose face in front of the eldest princess, and you will even be rewarded by the imperial court, have a good identity, and replace me as the princess of Chu." ”
She knew where Zhao Wen'er's weaknesses were, so she proposed a very tempting future.
Sure enough, Zhao Wen'er's eyes flashed.
"I didn't lie to you, he's really not home."
"Huh?" Xue Jinyi saw that Zhao Wen'er's words were not lying, and asked, "He has been separated from me for two hours, and he should have arrived home long ago to ......" She stood on tiptoe and looked inside the door.
Zhao Wen'er moved half a step to block her view, "Your Highness has something to do here." ”
Her fingers clenched the deadbolt of the door, holding back the resentment in her heart, for fear that she would show her feet when answering Xue Jinyi's question.
Xue Jinyi sighed, "That's it, I'll tell you the plan, write it down, and wait until the King of Chu comes back, and you will tell you, okay?" ”
"Okay." Zhao Wen'er nodded, let them in, and gently closed the small door, leading them into a room next to them.
The house was supposed to be a place for the Servants, with a row of bunks, a broken table and a few stools that collapsed at the touch of a button, and a thick layer of dust and cobwebs indicating that it had been uninhabited for a long time.
Xue Jinyi felt that this dilapidated situation was no different from her dilapidated courtyard, and the dignified prince's mansion was actually ......
"If you have anything to say, say it quickly." Zhao Wen'er urged, interrupting the two siblings' gaze.
"I really believe that there is no other person in your family." Xue Huai muttered, fortunately, this stupid eldest sister is sober, otherwise would she marry into this kind of place and continue to endure hardships?
"Trouble Miss Wen'er to bring pen and paper." Xue Jinyi said.
Zhao Wen'er pursed her lips, "You stay here, don't move around, be careful of getting lost, and planting yourself in the well, but no one will come to save you." ”
"We're not idiots." Xue Huai rolled his eyes unceremoniously.
Zhao Wen'er felt that this young man was not easy to deal with, so she snorted coldly and turned around to go out.
Not long after, she took a set of four treasures of the study and threw them in front of Xue Jinyi.
Xue Jinyi picked up the brush and said, "There are a large number of refugees stranded outside the capital, do you know? She saw Zhao Wen'er nodding before continuing, "They are the people of the Great Zhou, poor and innocent people, and it is not a long-term solution to rely on the big families in the city to take turns to give porridge, and it stands to reason that the imperial court should have a proper settlement." ”
Zhao Wen'er was displeased, "Xue Jinyi, shouldn't the affairs of the court be discussed by your female juniors, right?" ”
"Are you looking down on the eldest princess who once participated in the government?" Xue Huai asked sharply, holding his arms, standing in front of Zhao Wen'er menacingly.
Zhao Wen'er choked.
Xue Jinyi said coldly: "If you want to marry the King of Chu smoothly, you should be less yin and yang in front of me." ”
