The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 350 Inside the Palace Outside the Palace [Continued]

In a flash, it was another seven or eight days. Seeing that it entered June, the weather became hotter and hotter.

This morning Xue Baochai just got up and finished washing when he heard the tinkling of bells and copper bells outside.

She sighed helplessly, pushed open the window and blamed: "You girl is really like a demon, you have fun in the garden all morning, and you are not afraid of being accused of disturbing the people."

"Cuckoo~"

Immediately, Shi Xiangyun's crisp laughter sounded like a pearl falling on a jade plate: "It's better to ride in the morning, otherwise the sun will be poisonous after a long time, and you can melt people if you stand still, let alone It's the bike."

"Yes, yes, you can ride your own things whenever you want."

While talking, Baochai went to the courtyard, stopped Shi Xiangyun, and took a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead.

Xiangyun poked his head and let him do what he did, and immediately patted the back seat after wiping it clean and said: "Sister, come up quickly, I will carry you to watch the third sister practice sword!"

Xue Baochai quickly shook her head and refused: "Forget it, it's fun to ride, but sitting in the back is not as comfortable as walking - besides, I have housework to deal with, it's like you have no desires and cares all day long. "

Xiang Yun heard the words and said: "Then I will take a step first, and she won't practice if I go late!"

Before the words fell, he had already jumped out on the bike.

Xue Baochai shook her head helplessly, and wanted to say a few words of persuasion. The girl was so reckless that she might provoke criticism, but she thought that this bicycle was originally made by Jiao Shun. What's the matter?
But he said that it was difficult to walk on the small road because it was difficult to ride a bicycle. Xiangyun pressed the bell all the way and made a big bend. Seeing that he was not far from Luxue Temple where Tanchun performed martial arts, two familiar figures suddenly appeared in front of him. It is Lin Daiyu and Xueyan's master and servant.

Hearing the car bell coming from behind, the master and servant hurried to the side of the road. Afraid of the smoke, Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, but she couldn't stop joking: "Get out of here, hurry up!" Get out of the way, the Jingjie Tiger is coming!"

squeak~
Shi Xiangyun slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of the two of them, jumped out of the car swiftly, and was driven forward two steps by the inertia.

Lin Daiyu was startled by her, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to help her, but seeing Xiangyun stabilized her footsteps again, she stopped her movements and continued jokingly: "May I ask why this female thieves blocked our way?"

Shi Xiangyun turned his head and stuck out his tongue mischievously, and immediately supported the car with one hand and put one hand on his hips, raised his head and said: "My king passed by here, and I saw that you are quite a pretty lady, and I want to invite you back to the mountain to be a lady in the village. Is the lady obedient or not? Whoa, whoa, whoops!"

When she got excited about playing, she wanted to make an appearance as a martial arts student in the play, but she accidentally kicked her calf against the pedal, and she screamed out in pain.

Seeing Xiangyun and the bicycle swaying left and right, and they might fall over at any moment, Lin Daiyu couldn't care less about watching the excitement, and hurriedly stepped forward with Xueyan to support the bicycle. Looking back, seeing Shi Xiangyun squatting down and rubbing his hands desperately, she couldn't help laughing leaning forward and backward.

"Humph~"

Xiangyun was ashamed and annoyed, and grinned angrily, "It was all instigated by you, so I have the nerve to laugh at people at this time."

As he spoke, he regained control of the bicycle enduring the pain, raised his eyebrows at Xue Yan and said, "Hurry up and give your master some Sydney water, lest she cough from joy to sorrow."

With a promise, Xueyan unscrewed the water bottle that was always prepared when she went out, and handed it to Lin Daiyu.

"I'm much better now, what's the point of laughing twice?"

Lin Daiyu pursed her mouth and muttered something, but still used the lid as a cup, obediently drank two sips of rock sugar pear water, then pushed in front of Shi Xiangyun, and said, "You also take two sips to quench your thirst."

He asked again: "Did you get hurt just now? Shall I go to my sister-in-law and ask for two plasters for you?"

"No!"

Shi Xiangyun was not polite to her, took it and poured pear water with the lid to drink, and said while drinking: "It's all made of hard glue, the pain is the pain, it doesn't really hurt somewhere—right, I listen It is said that the officials in the yamen are planning to replace them with rubber sticks recently! Some people say that they will use rubber to make armor..."

Lin Daiyu didn't bother to study Xiangyun's kick in the sky and kicked in the ground. When she was almost done drinking, she snatched the water bottle and stuffed it with Xueyan, and said perfunctorily, "Okay, I know that Miss Shi is well-informed." , You should leave these words to the third sister, I am in a hurry to go to sister Xing's side, so I won't waste time with you. "

"Are you going to Sister Xing's place?"

Only then did Shi Xiangyun notice that Xueyan was carrying a small bag. Although he couldn't tell what was inside, he could guess with a good guess.

She suddenly remembered something, clenched her small fist and smashed it on her forehead, regretting: "Oh! I also said to make a little bellyband or something, but I forgot when I first started—how about you Don't go today, wait for my piece to be finished, and send it to Sister Xing together."

"I think you've been playing crazy these days!"

Lin Daiyu curled her lips and said: "I give mine, you give you, the big deal is that I just didn't run into you today, why should I wait for you?"

As he spoke, he was about to leave.

Shi Xiangyun refused to obey, and swiftly supported the car ladder, hugged Lin Daiyu's arm and acted like a twisted candy: "Good sister, good sister, you just follow me, it's just a small bellyband, I have a three It can be done in four days, and you will take it for me when the time comes, and I will accept your favor!"

Lin Daiyu was helplessly entangled by her, so she had no choice but to agree.

Shi Xiangyun was overjoyed, and put the matter of watching Tanchun practicing martial arts behind him, snatched the small bag from Xueyan's shoulder attentively, put the water bottle into the cart basket, and said with a smile: "I will ride the cart to send You go back—does anyone want me to give you a lift?"

Lin Daiyu gave her a supercilious look, and pulled Xueyan back.

Shi Xiangyun rushed up on his bicycle, bickering and laughing with Lin Daiyu all the way.

Seeing the vicinity of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xiren and Sheyue suddenly came out of the slope, and they shouted from a long distance: "Miss Shi, I found you! Hurry, hurry up and send that car to us." In the courtyard, the second master is going to take it to the palace!"

Shi Xiangyun frowned when he heard the words, kicked hard twice to meet the two of them, wondering: "Didn't Brother Bao say that he would bring him into the palace after he became proficient? Yesterday he rode crookedly, but why are you so anxious? "

At first Jia Baoyu wanted to ask Jiao Shun for this car, but he studied it hard for a while, but he was always a lackluster, and he slacked off after three or five days.

Now not only Shi Xiangyun is more proficient in riding than him, but Li Wan, Baochai, and even Xiren are much better than him.

After hearing this, Xiren couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "We also persuaded him, but the girl also knows his temper, but she doesn't care about her temper whenever it comes up - no, if you make a fuss and say that you don't want to take the bicycle away, you have to You don't obey the decree!"

Xiangyun was also helpless when he heard the words, so he had no choice but to say: "In that case, I will let him ride the bike."

As he said that, he went straight to Yihong Courtyard with all his strength.

Speechless all the way.

When he arrived at Yihong Courtyard, Xiangyun put the car in the verandah and quickly stepped into the courtyard gate, and saw Jia Baoyu smashing the sika deer in the yard with stones with a puffy face.

Seeing this, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help frowning.

This cousin has always been the most kind-hearted, and often does things like "sweep the floor to fear the lives of ants, and cherish the moth gauze lamp", but once he gets annoyed, he ignores it, not to mention throwing stones at animals, and seeing people when he is in a hurry It's not uncommon to just kick.

"Brother Bao."

Taking a few steps forward, she raised her voice and said, "I've already delivered the bicycle to you, and it's parked outside the door right now!"

The movement of Jia Baoyu's hand froze, and then the small stone held in his left hand leaked out from between his fingers. He clapped his hands and turned around and said, "Let's put it away for now, look at you, you are sweating profusely, it will be sooner or later." It's a matter of a while, what's the rush?"

As he said, he took out the handkerchief and was about to wipe Shi Xiangyun's sweat.

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly took half a step back, took out his handkerchief and said, "I'll do it myself, elder brother should hurry into the palace, otherwise the master and wife will be blamed."

"Ah~"

Jia Baoyu remembered that things were not the same now, so he couldn't help sighing, and said listlessly: "Go, go, I'll just go—sister, go and rest in the house for a while. It's time to deliver."

He didn't really care about bicycles, he just didn't want to enter the palace, so he used this as an excuse to delay time.

Now that the excuses are gone, naturally he can only push the car out dejectedly.

…………

Jingren Palace Yuyun Garden.

This day, Jia Yuanchun took a nap after lunch as usual, and when he woke up, he was absent-mindedly doing his makeup in front of the mirror, when the female officer suddenly came in with her piano in her arms to report that the empress had invited her.

Jia Yuanchun was a little surprised when he heard the words, because the empress was naturally taciturn, except for the necessary morning and evening peace, she just guarded her own three-acre land, and she had no intention of ruling the harem at all—of course, With the emperor's biological mother, the empress dowager, in charge of the overall situation, there is indeed no room for her to intervene.

While straightening Bu Yao on his head, Yuan Chun cast a questioning look at Bao Qin.

Baoqin immediately reported in a low voice: "The eunuch who sent the message didn't ask anything, should we delay it for a while and let the slaves go and find out?"

"No need."

Yuan Chun shook his head slightly: "If it's really a Hongmen banquet, we'll fall into someone's trap if we push back and forth."

After a pause, she suddenly frowned and asked, "Is Baoyu out of the palace now?"

"It seems to be still in the palace."

Baoqin hurriedly said: "I heard that the second master brought an iron horse into the palace this time. Long live Lord likes it very much. The two of them teach the other and even eat lunch by the school grounds."

"How did this happen?!"

Yuan Chunxiu frowned even tighter, and said anxiously: "It's a hot day, Long Live Lord's health has not recovered, and Baoyu's has been spoiled since childhood..."

Halfway through the talk, my heart suddenly came to my senses: "No wonder the Empress asked me to go there, I'm afraid it's for this matter."

Immediately she hurriedly ordered: "You don't have to go to Kunning Palace with me, quickly send a sour plum soup to the school grounds, make sure Baoyu calm down, if you can get that iron horse out of the palace as soon as possible, that would be the best!"

Seeing that she was so anxious, Baoqin naturally didn't dare to neglect her, agreed, and called two court ladies to help Yuanchun wash and change clothes, and hurried away.

Yuan Chun put on his clothes neatly with a lot of worries, and went all the way to Kunning Palace under the silk umbrella cover.

Before entering the main hall, I heard the twittering of warblers and swallows inside. Obviously there were many "foreign guests" besides the queen herself.

When the maid of summons entered the door, the inside suddenly fell silent, and after a while, the queen said "please", and the maid appeared outside the door again, leading Yuan Chun inside.

Sure enough, there were seven or eight concubines gathered in the hall, and they were all different in fat, swallow, and thin, but all of them could be called the crown of beauty.

These are old rivals who once competed with Yuan Chun for favor—more precisely, Yuan Chun's defeated opponents.

As early as Yuanchun entered the door, these concubines had already got up, only the lady with exquisite facial features and graceful bearing, but a slightly rigid eyebrow was still seated on the main seat.

Jia Yuanchun took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to the woman: "This concubine has seen the empress."

"No need to be polite."

The empress nodded slightly, signaling Jia Yuanchun to get up and take a seat.

After Yuan Chun occupied the first vacant seat, the concubines took their seats again.

Jia Yuanchun waited intently for the queen to show her, and all the concubines also waited with bated breath for her excitement, and the palace fell into silence for no reason.

however……

Everyone waited and waited, the queen was still sitting there without saying a word, as if she was a clay-bodied wood sculpture in a temple.

Jia Yuanchun could still hold his breath, but those concubines couldn't hold back anymore.

Among them was a broad-minded one who was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, don't you want to discuss the iron horse with Sister Defei?"

It really is for this matter!

To be more precise, it really took this matter as a pretext!
Jia Yuanchun concentrated all his attention, only waiting for the empress to make trouble, but the empress was stunned for a moment, hesitantly said: "Didn't you bother to discuss this matter with Sister Defei, why did I want to ask her?"

All the concubines in the room were a little dumbfounded, although it was indeed their instigation, but there was no reason to say it face to face.

Jia Yuanchun almost couldn't help laughing, but he didn't relax his vigilance at all.

Although she has lived with this empress for seven or eight years, she still hasn't figured out whether the lord of the sixth house is as wise as a fool or as wise as a fool.

However, the concubines were in a mess for a while, and finally their eyes were focused on the broad-minded concubine. Jia Yuanchun also took advantage of the situation and looked over, and said with a smile: "The iron horse that the concubine Rong's sister mentioned is the one brought by the brother-in-law. plaything?"

Concubine Rong was also a little at a loss, but now that the Lord came to her, she gritted her teeth and said in a loud voice: "That's right! Your Majesty has often summoned your younger brother recently. There is nothing wrong with that, but this Mr. Jia is Blindly teasing His Majesty to neglect his duties, the previous ice boat lantern was his idea, which provoked the imperial court to impeach him!"

"That's all, but what kind of iron horse is made today - we went to the school grounds a few noon to see, this thing is more difficult to control than a real horse, in case... sister, don't forget, last year His Majesty was killed These things hurt the dragon's body!"

She spoke quickly and urgently, and her chest heaved more and more, and the two benefactors wanted to rush out.

It's a pity that there is not half a man in the hall, this scene is purely a hidden gem.

Although Jia Yuanchun was also worried about the emperor, he could not admit that the iron horse was in danger at this time, so he smiled and said, "Sister Concubine Rong doesn't know that since the time of Taizu Shizong, riding and archery has been a compulsory course for the children of the clan, and your majesty is one of them." How difficult is it to tame a mere iron horse?"

Concubine Rong sneered: "Sister, that's arrogance. That iron horse isn't a real horse, so why..."

bell~ring~
At this moment, there was a sudden ringing of bells outside, followed by the yelling of the eunuchs.

I don't know who dared to make trouble in the Kunning Palace, so the maid who sent the message hurried into the palace to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The Long Live Lord is here, riding, riding an iron horse!"

Everyone was stunned, only the queen and Jia Yuanchun stood up at the same time, reminding the concubines to go out to meet them.

When everyone filed out of the main hall, they saw the emperor was riding a bicycle in circles in the yard, pressing the copper bell one after another. The eunuchs around wanted to stop but couldn't stop, but couldn't reach them, all of them were like plagued chickens. Stretching his shoulders, he didn't know what to do at all.

Seeing the empress leading the concubines to welcome them out, the emperor braked the car, but he refused to get off from the top, and said with a smile on one foot: "This thing is really interesting, it can save time and move your muscles— ——It is my oral order that from now on, except for a few main halls, all the thresholds will be dismantled, and this thing will be used instead of Jianyu from now on!"

After a moment of silence, Dai Quan bit the bullet and stepped forward to receive the order.

Emperor Longyuan smiled and asked again: "I was going to Yuyun Garden to let Concubine De take a look at it, but I didn't want to but heard that she came to Kunning Palace—is there something interesting for you to gather together? ?”

Seeing that the emperor couldn't let go of the iron horse, all the concubines looked at you and I looked at you, but none of them dared to speak. The concubine Rong even hid behind the crowd, not daring to show her face at all.
