The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 610 Leg Shaking
In front of so many people, Xiaoxiao asked Zhang Ruoai provocatively "Dare you dare?" Even if Zhang Ruoai didn't want to show her face, she had to bite the bullet and agree.

Zhang Tingyu knew what the emperor was up to when the emperor invited him to bring his eldest son and second son to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.But he didn't intend to resist in his heart. The one-year agreement was proposed by the emperor himself. He thought that no matter whether his second son fell in love with the princess after a year, it would be no loss for him.If it is done, the second son will be a son-in-law, and the ancestors are honored; if it is not successful, the second son will be able to find another good match, and feel at ease.

After Zhang Ruoai went down, Xiaoxiao asked someone to give him an apple.

He stared at her inexplicably, and seeing her excitedly brought back the soft sword again, his doubts became more serious, and he couldn't help asking: "What does the princess want me to do?"

Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, her eyelashes were like a butterfly resting on a flower, she suddenly fluttered her wings and flew up: "Young Master Zhang, just put the apple on top of your head, just stand there firmly, there is no need to do anything Something else."

Zhang Ruoai was shocked when she heard this, with an expression of disbelief on her face: "Is the princess going to stab the apple on the head with a sword?"

Xiaoxiao frowned, smiling as brightly as a flower: "Yes, Mr. Zhang is not afraid, is he?"

Zhang Ruoai suddenly felt that her harmless smiling face was extremely dazzling, dare not dare, who would dare!However, he is clearly in his twenties, why would he be provoked by a 14-year-old girl?Zhang Ruoai was annoyed that he had fallen into her trap, but at this point, he had no more steps to go down, so he had to bite the bullet and go up.

So, even though his chest was pounding wildly, he tried his best to put on a calm face: "There is nothing to dare, the emperor and Concubine Xi are watching, presumably the princess's sword can't deviate."

After Xiaoxiao made his pose, he danced the sword casually beside him.

Zhang Tingyu on the east attic saw Zhang Ruoai pushing an apple on her head, her heart jumped into her throat: Oh my God!Is the princess going to stab the apple on Qinglan's head with her sword?The sword is merciless!This is how to do!what to do……

He looked at the eldest son next to him, and saw that he was staring down with relish, his hands were shaking with anger: Presumptuous, how can you be so indifferent to Erdi's life!

Looking at the emperor, Ertai and the others, although they were surprised for a moment, they quickly recovered their composure, and they all stared down with great interest.

Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to recite the words "God bless" silently in his heart, his eyes were focused on the point of the smiling sword, for fear that if he was not careful, he would touch his son.

Xiaoxiao intentionally swung his sword around Zhang Ruoai's head, and when he saw his face turned pale, he deliberately danced beside him and giggled: "How is it, Mr. Zhang is afraid? Mr. Zhang's legs are shaking, hee hee!"

Zhang Ruoai didn't dare to move, she just squinted at her and said in a fluttering voice, "It's getting late, princess, please hurry up."

Smiling and winking at him triumphantly, he continued to provoke: "Young Master Zhang is too weak, don't faint from fright later."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly took a few steps away, flying like Hai Dongqing for a while, and flying like a little swallow for a while, just when Zhang Ruoai was dazzled, she suddenly pointed at the big apple on Zhang Ruoai's head with a smile, Suddenly plunged in the past.

With a sound of "噗嗤", Zhang Ruoai only heard something punctured on his head, and then something cool dripped on his head, it was apple juice.

"Papapa~" There were two bursts of warm applause from the attics on both sides. At the same time, an exclamation of "ah" sounded from the attic to the west. Zhang Tingyu's wife was so frightened by the last scene that she rolled her eyes and fainted. past.

"Mr. Zhang seems to have no strength to walk. Go and help him." Xiaoxiao patted her chest and hurriedly retreated. She was also very nervous just now. This was the first time she did such a dangerous thing. I have practiced archery, and my aim is actually very good!Although the shooting range is very short, she can also shoot on the target with absolute certainty.

This soft sword is not sharp, but the tip of the sword is sharp, and it is easy to pierce an apple.She almost missed the stab just now, it was really dangerous, she was afraid of seeing blood, if she screamed in fright at the blood, she would not be laughed at to death.

Zhang Tingyu's wife was sent back to the mansion by her eldest son because she was not feeling well.

Zhang Ruoai held the punctured apple and returned to her seat with a pale face.He had seen the sword marks on the apple just now, the sword stuck to the bottom of the apple, okay?Any more deviation, and it would directly stab his head!Revenge, must be revenge!He felt that the princess must be unable to let him be his son-in-law, so he wanted to teach him a lesson. She was so savage, it was really difficult to be Zhang Ruoai's wife!
"Well, Zhang Qing is not only full of knowledge, but also courageous!" Seeing Zhang Ruoai's expression, Yin Zhen laughed and praised.Why did he feel relieved?Who made Zhang Ruoai look down on his little princess, what's wrong with smiling?
"Thanks to the emperor's praise, the dog is ashamed. The main reason is that the princess's swordsmanship is accurate, so the dog has the courage to cooperate." Seeing that Zhang Ruo'ai was safe and sound, Zhang Tingyu finally let out the sigh that was in his heart.

When the full moon was in the sky, Yinzhen recited poems and admired the moon with everyone, until the mood faded, and everyone left the Old Summer Palace one after another.

Yanhua called Xiaoxiao to her eyes that night and criticized her. When she stared at Xiaoxiao practicing the sword dance, Xiaoxiao didn't mention the matter of stabbing the apple with a sword at all. Obviously it was her It was impromptu.She realized early on that there was a great danger lurking in this move, if she wasn't paying attention, she would stab Zhang Ruoai in the head!But because she was really powerless to stop her at the time, she had to remind her to watch the farce in fear.

"Emiang, didn't anything happen? The boy's head is very good, and he didn't touch him at all." Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid at all. Anyway, she did a great job, and she seemed full of confidence.

It was only now that Yinzhen knew that the last act was a temporary extra act by laughing at himself, and then his face sank: "Don't be so nonsense in the future! If you do this again, I will punish you to stay in the minister's study all day to study and copy books!"

Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue secretly, and responded with a muffled sound.In fact, she also felt that pricking the apple was dangerous, but in the end nothing happened!She didn't think it was such a big fuss.

However, if Yinzhen and Yanhua hadn't scolded her for this, she would definitely play the apple pricking game when she had a whim in the future...

At the end of August, after the new maids selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were taught all the rules, the Ministry of Internal Affairs inspected all the rules and manners learned by the maids, and then filled the gaps in the palaces with the new maids.At the request of Noble Concubine Xi, Jingren Palace did not assign new maids to go there, but allocated all the people to Chengqian Palace, so that they could tidy up and clean Chengqian Palace.

"It's not wrong this time, is it?"

"No more, no more..."

"That's good. If someone really sneaks into the palace, you can all wait to lose your head!"

When Mrs. Du sent the newly taught maid back to the House of Internal Affairs, she overheard two eunuchs talking.It was only then that she learned that when the Ministry of Internal Affairs selected the maids of the Three Banners, someone tried to sneak into the palace instead of someone else, but they discovered it in time and did not let him succeed.However, they did not catch the person who was trying to sneak into the palace.

Hearing this, Mrs. Du frowned slightly.

On the way back, she kept thinking about who that person would be, but unfortunately, she couldn't get out of the palace, otherwise she would have to find that person.But anyone who tries to sneak into the palace has other plans, either for money or for life.The corners of her mouth were slightly bent, and the eyelids that had begun to droop due to the twilight suddenly shone brightly.

"Auntie, auntie?" A little palace maid walked up to Mrs. Du and called her several times.

Du Shi came back to his senses, and glared at her displeasedly with those triangular eyes with drooping eyelids: "What's the matter?"

The little maid timidly lowered her head, looked up at her secretly, then quickly lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Just now, the imperial concubine sent someone to look for the aunt in the long room, but the aunt is not here, so I... I came here... ...Auntie, let's go to Jingren Palace quickly, the imperial concubine seems to have something important to ask...Auntie..."

"Understood." Mrs. Du gave her an angry look, and hurried to Jingren Palace.

When she rushed to Jingren Palace, she saw that besides her, other aunts were also there, all lined up outside the main hall.

Mrs. Du didn't know what happened, so she asked in a low voice another aunt who was teaching beside her: "Did something happen?"

The court lady gave her a blank look, and said with a bad attitude: "How do I know?"

Du's heart was upset, and after giving her a rude look, he tried to talk to another aunt who taught her to know what happened in advance, so she could have a countermeasure.

"Stand up, don't whisper!" When Lingxi came out from the inside, she happened to see Du Shi walking forward, wanting to talk to someone else.So she glared at Shi Du unhappily and roared.

Even though Mrs. Du's seniority in the palace is old, she is still a little younger than Lingxi, and her status is not as strong as Lingxi.After all, she is just a teaching aunt, and Lingxi is one of the best aunts in charge in Jingren Palace.

Du Shi quickly nodded and bowed back to the end, but his heart couldn't stop beating.What is the purpose of mobilizing so many teachers?Why doesn't she know anything?
The aunts went in one by one, and they didn't know what they were asked. After they went out, no one came out.The aunts who were waiting outside, the longer they waited, the more hopeless they felt, and gradually became a little restless.

Du Shi has always been careful in doing things, otherwise Eighth Master would not have let her do things.She went through all the things that happened recently in her mind, and she didn't feel that she was passing by.

It's just that Qi Qiao's death was beyond her expectation at the beginning, so could it be that the concubine Xi called them over this time because it has something to do with Qi Qiao's matter?
"You, it's you, go in." Just as Du's legs were numb, Lingxi came out again, pointed at Du and yelled impatiently.Upon hearing this, Mrs. Du hurriedly nodded and followed in hastily.

In the main hall, there were four little maids kneeling, all shaking like chaff, their faces pale, as if they were frightened by something.Because they all lowered their heads, Mrs. Du couldn't see their faces, and didn't know who these four little maids were.
