Yijuan cloud

Chapter 26 A common man

Tang Shou was also a draft eunuch, and he also went to Yangzhou for the draft!

Then he must have met Lin Se, right?

The coffin containing Linse appeared in his mind at an inappropriate time.

Lingering.

Although I heard Prince Yi’s scolding, I was still deeply immersed in the memories of the past.

Thinking of Lin Se, thinking of Aunt Xue who was crying bitterly, thinking of my mother, thinking of my father, thinking of Xing'er, thinking of the dying young man in the alley...

I looked up blankly, and the young man's face was right in front of me.

His bright black eyes were staring at me angrily, and then he raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you still standing around for? Go and serve tea to Eunuch Tang!"

My thoughts suddenly came back, I lowered my eyes, said "yes", and walked to Tang Shou's desk numbly.

The palace maid handed over the tea bowl. I knelt down, bowed my head and offered it with both hands, and said, "Master, please have tea."

There was another sinister laugh.

I thought of the hearsay about eunuchs that Xing'er had mentioned before, and couldn't help but become nervous.

The hand sank and the tea bowl was caught.

I was about to let go, but my palm was pinched. I was startled and quickly retracted my hand, but did not break away.

I looked up in shock and saw a pair of pink hands, with their little fingers raised, clasping mine tightly.

I felt like my face was on fire and I broke out in a sweat.

Shameful and angry.Embarrassing.But the teacup is still in my hand.

I thought, no matter what, this bowl of tea cannot be turned over!

He just kept silent and secretly used his strength to withdraw his hand. When he pulled it out little by little, the eunuch chuckled, as if he was amused.

Just when I thought this moment was so long, I suddenly heard a "pop" sound and heard Mr. Fan solemnly say:
"I'm sorry, I killed a flying insect on the table. I forgot for a moment that this is an important place of Buddhism and you shouldn't kill."

As he spoke, Tang Shou relaxed his hand and took the tea.

I bowed hurriedly and silently returned to stand in front of the pillar next to the door.

The banquet continued, and no one seemed to notice Tang Shou's dirty behavior just now.

Tang Shou said: "General Fan has killed so many people, why should we take care of a small flying insect?"

"Amitabha." The abbot of the temple recited.

At this time, Prince Yi exclaimed "Ouch", and then Wen Jin, the eldest maid in Xu's house, said in panic: "Please punish me, Prince!"

Looking out of the corner of his eye, Wen Jin was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

Another maid, Xianggui, was hurriedly cleaning up the tea stains on Prince Yi's case.

Zhong Ming put down the paper and rushed over to help clean it up. The sandalwood tea bowl was still spinning on the table.

Prince Yi wiped his sleeves with a handkerchief and said angrily: "Everyone is so clumsy. I really shouldn't have brought you slaves here. When we get there, I will sell you all and buy slaves for myself!"

That Xianggui is the first-class person in front of Xu family.

When we went out this time, she was the consul to several of our maids. At this time, she knelt down in a panic and kowtowed: "I beg the prince to spare the slaves this time."

Tang Shou watched with a smile on his face.

But General Chang was a little impatient and just ate with vegetables.

Mr. Fan drank tea with a sullen face. When he put down the tea cup, his eyes glanced at me.

I just pretended not to notice and stood there blankly.

King Yi pointed at Xianggui and Wenjin angrily and said, "This is what I, the princess, picked!"

He raised his chin slightly in my direction: "That's the concubine's person, or the maid who is accompanying the bride. I'm already out and can't worry about it. I'm fed up with it!" Tang Shou said with a smile: "Your Majesty enjoys the beauty of the whole family. Don’t let yourself be surrounded by blessings and not know how blessed you are.”

Then he shook his head and sighed, "It's just that your father-in-law Cao is really too much to bear."

King Yi flicked his sleeves, snorted bitterly, stopped talking, and just took a sip of tea.

Seeing this, Tang Shou's white face smiled even more.

All night, I couldn't sleep.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the white face of the eunuch in front of me. My hands always felt greasy and I wanted to chop it off.

When I was about to wake up in a daze, the scene at the dinner party flashed through my mind.

When he was in the palace, Shang felt that the prince was gentle and elegant, but why did he become so vulgar when he was among men?
After all, he is a prince, but he is always flattering.

Although I don't know the status of that eunuch, I can still see his contempt for King Yi.

After thinking about it, he lost his sleepiness, so he opened his eyes, stared into the dark night, and sighed in his heart: It turns out that he is so hopeless.

It's time to set off before dawn.

When we went down the mountain, the sun had just risen, and the rain from last night was still in the air. There were dead branches and leaves everywhere, and it was chilly.

Therefore, the place is very close to Xuanfu Town and can be reached in the afternoon. Everyone looked solemn.

I walked down with the crowd, feeling uneasy in my heart.

A young maid, Linghua, who has been living with me for the past two days, took my arm and whispered: "Are you scared? I'm so scared. The Tatar soldiers captured Xuanfu, and even the commander-in-chief inside Kill them all, will we encounter those Tatar soldiers in the past?"

Xianggui walked in front and turned around and said, "What do you know? The Tatar soldiers knew that our army was coming and had left Xuanfu Town long ago. Even if they were still there, we were following the prince, and we didn't have to fight with him. There would always be Placed in place.”

This news immediately made the four of us little maids who had no source of information happy, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When I read poems in the past, I deeply felt how heroic and aspirational it was to "golden an iron horse and swallow thousands of miles like a tiger", but when I really wanted to go to a war-torn place, I lost the courage.

I looked back and saw a small group of soldiers walking together with serious and determined expressions. I wonder if they were afraid?
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of Master Fan again.

No wonder I thought he was cold and ruthless when I first met him. He was a man who came out of the battlefield!
This time the march was rapid, without stopping for a moment.

By noon, the weather was getting hotter. Linghua opened the curtain and immediately exclaimed: "Look! We're on the grassland!"

Through a small gap, the green and vast grassland scenery comes into view.

Wild flowers everywhere and green grass are a sight I have never seen before.

I suddenly felt excited and excited. I lay down by the car window and stared at it for a moment.

I saw a white horse whizzing by.

The man on horseback was wearing a dark red riding uniform, and the golden crown that bound his hair was extremely dazzling when the sun reflected it, and he soon disappeared.

After a while, the man rode back in the opposite direction.

This time I saw the front. It was far away and I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could still tell it was Prince Yi.

The rumors are true, he really loves riding and shooting.

No wonder he came with the army to the outside of the Great Wall. Others were focused on driving away foreign enemies and protecting their country, but he was here to escape the heat and relax!
Seeing him walking back and forth on the grassland, the scenery turned pale, so I sat down and stopped looking.

But the three companions in the carriage kept chattering.

"The prince is riding back again!"

"Our prince is so good at equestrian skills!"

"It's here again, it's here again!"
