Chapter 61 Repaying Resentment with Virtue
Li Shuyi looked around and laughed loudly, "Xiao Yuzhuo, where is your family, General Jing? Isn't he here to protect you?"
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips, resisting the sarcasm for a long time.
"Hmph, in the past, Princess Shouchang was so beautiful in the capital. I'm afraid the princess didn't get as much glory as you. Now she is a complete housewife. When you go out, you have to be protected from head to toe by the lord!" Li Shuyi His tone was sour.
Xiao Yuzhuo sneered, "I'm afraid you want no one to protect you, are you?" A rebuttal was on her lips, but she didn't want to cause trouble, so she had to hold it back.
Seeing that she didn't make a sound, Li Shuyi was both proud and bored, she turned her head and said, "Huizhi, let's go fishing."
Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo see Li Huizhi who had fallen two steps behind her.
Li Huizhi followed her quietly, making people think that she was not a princess, but just a court lady behind Li Shuyi.
Li Tai did see his sister, but he didn't look at her more, and turned his eyes to look at Xiao Yuzhuo with a half-smile.
"Master, why don't you go fishing together?" Li Huizhi whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at her, "You only brought two pieces of fishing gear, forget it."
"If you don't dare, you don't dare, what's the matter?" Li Shuyi snorted lightly.
Ignore her, is she still motivated?
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "I just don't dare, how about it?"
"It's good to admit it, what else can I do to you? Who doesn't know that your family, General Jing, is in this temple. I'm afraid it will make you cry, and your family's general will come to settle accounts with us again!" Li Shuyi smiled. Walk to the embankment of the river.
"Your family's general?" Li Tai played with the word and shook his head, "That's not a good name, it's obviously from the Holy Master's family."
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart skipped a beat.
Facing Li Tai, it would be better to go fishing with Li Shuyi.
At least she didn't have so much to say when she was fishing, the look in Li Tai's eyes really made her unbearable.
"Wait, I heard that the fish is the most plump at this time!" Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Li Huizhi immediately stood still and looked back at her, "The princess is also here to fish?"
Li Shuyi supported her waist and laughed loudly, "Xiao Yuzhuo, do you have no brains? This is a Buddhist temple! After catching fish, do you still want the monks to kill and cook fish for you? It's just fishing for fun!"
"This is the mountain behind the temple, it's already outside the temple, can't I catch fish and eat it myself?" Xiao Yuzhuo was teased by her several times, but couldn't bear it anymore.
Li Shuyi was about to open her mouth to ridicule, but she didn't know what to think, her eyes rolled, "That's right, then you come too!"
It seems that Xiao Yuzhuo was able to fish because of her kindness!
Xiao Yuzhuo was depressed, if it wasn't for avoiding Li Tai's uncomfortable gaze, she wouldn't go fishing with them!
After turning over the embankment, there are several large flat rocks standing by the water, which is a good place for fishing.
The top is polished and shiny, probably many people have fished here.
Mei Xiang ordered the little maid to fetch another pair of fishing gear.
Xiao Yuzhuo and the two princesses chose the places where they fished and cast their rods on the rocks.
The fishing platform formed by several stones is not too spacious, only Li Shuyi is standing on the fishing platform with a maid beside her.
The rest of the maids and servants stood guard on the embankment.
A wooden bucket was placed at my feet, half filled with clean water.
Not long after Xiao Yuzhuo lowered the pole, the float moved.
She was overjoyed immediately, looked at the right moment, and slammed the rod up, a silver carp the size of a palm.
"Cut, it's not too bad to feed the cat." Li Shuyi snorted coldly.
Xiao Yuzhuo ignored her, and put the bait back on the rod again.
Not long after, the fish floats of the other two remained silent, but another fish bit the hook on Xiao Yuzhuo's side.
She raised the pole, and it turned out to be a half-sized crucian carp.
"Wow, the princess is so powerful!" Mei Xiang clapped her hands on the embankment and shouted.
Li Shuyi's face was ugly, "Shut up, I'm scaring away the fish in my palace!"
Mei Xiang giggled and raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't know if it was because of her good luck today, or because her bait was particularly fragrant.
The other two princesses haven't caught anything yet, but she has already caught five fish, big and small.
"You must have messed with the bait!" Li Shuyi stood up abruptly, pointing to the bait at her feet.
Xiao Yuzhuo squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, "Just admit that your skills are inferior to others, what kind of bait are you talking about? Could it be that I have prepared long ago to invite the princess to fish?"
The tone of this voice is too ironic.
Li Shuyi's face became even more ugly, "I don't believe it if I change the bait!"
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his chin at the maid, "Give it to Princess Nanping, if you can't catch any fish after changing the bait, what else can the princess say?"
The maid immediately changed the bait of the two.
Not long after he dropped the fishing rod again, Xiao Yuzhuo's float moved again, and this time the movement was very loud.
Just as she was about to retrieve the line, the fishing line was pulled tight, and the whole fishing rod was bent.
"It's a big fish! It's a big fish!" Mei Xiang cheered excitedly.
After finishing speaking, seeing Li Shuyi's knife-like gaze sweeping over, she quickly covered her mouth.
"You can't pull it back by force, you have to let it go, and you can pull it out when you're tired!" Li Huizhi whispered suddenly.
When she is not speaking, everyone seems to be unable to feel her existence, and only when she speaks can people think of her.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, but she was a little helpless. Actually, she was not very good at fishing.
"Is it convenient for the princess to help?" Xiao Yuzhuo already felt that this fish must be quite big, and would pull her fishing rod away several times with great strength.
How to follow the fish, how to slip the fish, she can't?
Li Huizhi saw that she was not being polite, so she put down her fishing rod and came forward to hold the rod with her.
As soon as the pole was in her hands, Xiao Yuzhuo felt a lot more relaxed.
"Princess, don't let go." Li Huizhi said suddenly.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, and also gripped the fishing rod tightly. This was the first big fish she caught in her life, and she couldn't let it get away!
I slipped away for a while.
Li Huizhi nodded suddenly and said, "Okay, it's exhausted!"
As she said that, she nodded to Xiao Yuzhuo, and the two raised their hands at the same time with a tacit understanding, and lifted the fishing rod up sharply.
The fish came out of the water with a splash.
"Hey! What a big fish!" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly.
Li Huizhi also smiled.
This fish probably weighs seven or eight catties!
Xiao Yuzhuo was so happy, is this a blind cat meeting a dead mouse?How could a person who doesn't know how to fish catch such a big fish?
"What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just a fish? She's really a village woman, she's never seen the world!" Li Shuyi said eccentrically.
"Some people think that they can't catch it, but insist that the bait is not good. If they can't catch it after changing the bait, they say that the fish is not good." Xiao Yuzhuo laughed.
Li Shuyi's face turned black immediately, and the fishing rod slammed onto the rock.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared at her, "What, the princess wants to grab it? No need, if you like this fish, I'll just give it to you..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Shuyi suddenly lifted her foot and kicked her bucket over with a plop.
All the fish in the bucket fell back into the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The biggest fish flopped on the stone twice, splashing water everywhere.
"Catch it!" Xiao Yuzhuo was reluctant to part with the fish.
Who has never seen a fish?Who hasn't eaten fish?She doesn't even care about fish that are bigger than this!But this was only caught by her!
But the fish was so slippery that it jumped to Li Shuyi's feet, and Li Shuyi kicked it.
Puff.
The fish fell into the water and splashed high in the water.
Xiao Yuzhuo glared at Li Shuyi, "Princess is deceiving too much, right?"
"You are the one who bullies!" Li Shuyi snorted coldly.
Xiao Yuzhuo was furious and wanted to push Li Shuyi into the water as well.
But the maid next to Li Shuyi jumped up immediately and hugged her waist, "Princess, calm down!"
Li Shuyi's face was dark, "Oh, you are so brave, you dare to attack me?"
As she spoke, she shook out a long whip from her waist.
"Get out of the way!" Li Shuyi shouted coldly.
The maid immediately released Xiao Yuzhuo.
Behind Xiao Yuzhuo was the river, and her maids were all on the embankment.
The place on the rock was not that big, and Li Shuyi struck quickly and ruthlessly.
Zhuxiang wanted to step forward to protect her master, but before she could get over the embankment, Li Shuyi's whip had already been thrown down.
Xiao Yuzhuo stepped back, only saw someone's figure flashed out of the corner of his eye, the pain didn't come, but his foot slipped.
"Ah—" she exclaimed.
puff-
Like her big fish, it fell into the water.
"The princess has fallen into the water—" There was a loud scream from the shore.
Xiao Yuzhuo's clothes were soaked in an instant, and she had just thumped a few times when she felt water rushing towards her from all directions.
The more nervous she was, the more her clothes were soaked in water, the more she sank.
She opened her eyes to see the situation on the shore, but when she opened her eyes, only water poured into her eyes, which was sour and astringent.
When she opened her mouth, water poured into her nose and mouth, choking and causing burning pain in her chest.
Help!Help!
There was only one thought in her mind.
She didn't want to drown!
There are still good years in her life that she has not enjoyed...
The surface of the river looked calm, but under the surface, there was an undercurrent surging.
It seems that there is a force, which has been dragging her down...continuously sinking...
Xiao Yuzhuo was terrified and struggled hard.
But the more she struggled, the deeper she seemed to sink... She couldn't breathe, it was full of water, water everywhere...
The burning in my throat is full of river water...
The undercurrent seemed to drag her away from the place where she fell into the water, and she could clearly hear someone jumping into the water to rescue her, but she couldn't see anyone in the water.
can't catch anything...
Suddenly someone grabbed her waist.
Xiao Yuzhuo was excited, and like an octopus, he clawed at the person holding her.
She had read the reports and knew that it might delay the death of those who rescued her, and both of them would drown.
But it is useless to know rationally, and the human survival instinct is infinitely magnified at this moment.
The fear of death and the helplessness of drowning made her instinctively want to grab anything she could grab.
Suddenly felt a pain in the neck.
She was in a trance for a while, and she couldn't help but let go of her grip. She felt that she was knocked out and passed out.
But her consciousness was not completely chaotic, she could feel someone dragging her, desperately swimming to the shore.
The undercurrent under the river surface is very fast, and there is great resistance underwater.
But the person who dragged her swam very hard, and also pulled her very tightly.
He has great strength, if not for her, maybe he can swim as fast as an arrow.
Xiao Yuzhuo was in a trance. The moment she was dragged ashore, she felt that she was really dead...
Could it be that he died again?
"Princess, princess?" Mei Xiang's voice panicked.
Someone slammed on her stomach, once or twice...
"Puff... Cough cough, cough cough..." Xiao Yuzhuo wanted to say don't press it, it hurts, it hurts...
But she didn't speak, but she coughed up water, and after coughing up the water, she breathed heavily.
Finally there was no more water, finally it was no longer surrounded by water from all directions, and finally there was no force dragging her down.
The feeling of not being able to catch anything in the water is really desperate and frightening...
Xiao Yuzhuo felt that at this moment, he was really born again!
She was even more excited than when she just woke up from the princess.
The feeling of remaining alive after the catastrophe moved her so much that she wanted to cry.
She opened her eyes, wanting to catch a glimpse of her savior, the one who rescued her from despair.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was completely stunned.
Yue King Li Taizheng had a gloomy face, squatting half kneeling beside her, with one hand on her belly and the other stroking her back.
His whole body was drenched, the originally luxurious robes and black hair were dripping with water.
His gloomy face was covered with drops of water, and besides the drops of water, there were two red scratches.
Uh... She didn't catch that, right?Xiao Yuzhuo licked her lips, and to hide her embarrassment, she coughed violently again.
"You are so lucky!" Li Shuyi's sneering voice came from above her head.
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuzhuo was really angry. The fear of being drowned in the water almost swallowed her reason. She stared at Princess Nanping with red eyes, "Try to say it again?"
Shocked by her momentum, Princess Nanping looked at her in astonishment, moved her lips, and really didn't dare to say it again.
In front of so many people, she felt that she was losing face again, and she couldn't help but angrily said: "You yell at me? This is the following offense..."
"Go and tell the Holy One!" Xiao Yuzhuo didn't know where his strength came from, but he jumped up from the ground, raised his finger and pointed at Li Shuyi's nose and said, "Go back to the palace now, and tell the Holy One, I'll offend you next time, and I'll bully you!" ! Ask the Holy Spirit to come and punish me!"
Her eyes were wide open, her face was full of anger, and the tips of her outstretched fingers almost poked Li Shuyi's nose.
Li Shuyi was shocked by her horrified aura, stepped back two steps, and snorted heavily, "Bengong, I don't know as much as you!"
Princess Nanping left in a huff.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they were clamoring to send Xiao Yuzhuo back to wash and rest.
Ji Wang and Xiao Shiwuniang also stood aside.
Ji Wang frowned lightly, his eyes were heavy and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xiao Shiwuniang's face turned pale, and she was still in shock.
Xiao Yuzhuo turned around, looked at Li Tai, the King of Yue who was exuding a gloomy aura, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Li Tai smiled contemptuously with the corners of his mouth curled up, "It turns out that the princess can't swim either? Now you know how painful it is to drown?"
Xiao Yuzhuo's face froze, the pain was second to none, the helplessness in the water, the fear of not being able to catch anything, was what crushed a person the most.
"Yes." Xiao Yuzhuo nodded at him with a stiff face.
Mei Xiang and Zhu Xiang hurriedly helped her into the wing room.
Xiao Yuzhuo changed into dry clothes, leaned on the couch, Mei Xiang knelt beside her, fumigated her half-dried hair.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help recalling the situation when he fell into the water, and frowned slightly, "Where's Li Huizhi?"
Mei Xiangzhu Xiang was taken aback when she heard the words, the two looked at each other and shook their heads blankly.
"I remember, before I fell into the water, she rushed ahead of me..." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
"Did she bump into the princess?" Mei Xiang immediately asked vigilantly.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook her head, Li Huizhi didn't touch her, it was the bucket that Li Shuyi kicked over earlier, the water spilled on the stone, and she slipped and fell down.
But the figure rushing forward from the corner of her eye really startled her.
"She blocked Princess Nanping's whip." Zhu Xiang frowned and said, "But then the princess fell into the water and everyone was frightened, so they didn't pay attention to her."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at Zhuxiang fiercely, "How about the whip wound on your body?"
As soon as she arrived yesterday, Zhuxiang received two whips from Princess Nanping for her.
Zhu Xiang pursed her lips and shook her head, "The servant girl is fine, the servant girl is resistant to beating."
Xiao Yuzhuo insisted on seeing her injuries.
Zhu Xiang couldn't help it, so she blushed and opened her clothes to show her.
Mei Xiang gasped, "It hurts so badly!"
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes narrowed slightly.
Zhuxiang's skin is not as fair and delicate as ordinary girls. On the wheat-colored skin, although the two red marks are not broken, they are still shocking.
Zhu Xiang quickly explained, "It's just scary to look at. After applying the medicine given to the servant girl by the princess yesterday, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.
Zhu Xiang was afraid that she would be worried, and said: "Actually, this injury is really nothing. When I was learning kung fu, my servant suffered from injuries that were much heavier than this. I don't feel any pain when I get beaten. gone."
After finishing speaking, she grinned.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and nodded slightly, "You have a tough temper, practiced martial arts when you were young, and you were injured like this, so what about Li Huizhi?"
Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang looked at each other, and couldn't help frowning, worried.
"Do you still have the wound medicine we brought out?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a deep voice.
Mei Xiang nodded quickly.
"Bring the bamboo fragrance to her." Xiao Yuzhuo ordered, "No matter what, she has been whipped for me, and it would not be worthwhile to have revenge for this."
Zhuxiang quickly took orders and left.
Not long after, she came back from Li Huizhi's place, and she couldn't help sighing again and again.
"The princess asked you to deliver the medicine, why are you sighing?" Mei Xiang frowned at her.
"When the maid went, the sixth princess's maid was crying." Zhuxiang said in a low voice, "They didn't seem to bring any good wound medicine, the sixth princess was lying on the bed, although she didn't cry, but she was holding back. "
Mei Xiang opened her mouth in astonishment, but closed it again without saying a word.
"The maid sent me the wound medicine, the maid was so grateful, she took the hand of the maid and thanked her repeatedly." Zhu Xiang said, "The sixth princess also asked the maid to convey her thanks."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, she looked at the bed curtain, her eyes were filled with gleams of thoughtful light.
Suddenly Xiao Shiwuniang's voice came from outside the door, "General, please..."
The three masters and servants in the room all looked out.
Speaking of which, Xiao Yuzhuo came to Mingjue Temple because of Xiao Shiwuniang's affairs.Now that Xiao Yuzhuo fell into the water, Xiao Shiwuniang should feel the most sorry. When the maids are waiting for her to change clothes and freshen up, it's fine if she doesn't stand forward.
I should have come to visit earlier, but I haven't seen her.
The maid let out a cry, and pushed open the door, only to see Shiwu Niang standing at the door with a slightly sweaty face, her expression panicked and anxious.
And behind her stood Jing Yannian with narrow eyes.
Shiwu Niang took a breath, "Sister, how are you doing?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "I'm fine, I'm worrying you."
Xiao Shiwuniang stepped forward quickly, sat on the edge of the bed, and took her hand, "This is the female guest room, the general is late, don't be angry."
Was it because she was afraid that she would lose her temper and provoke Jing Yannian away?
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll come see you later." Xiao Shiwuniang nodded at her, let go of her hand, and walked out step by step.
The maids also retreated outside the door with their hands down.
Only then did Jing Yannian walk towards the bed.
There was a sudden movement behind him.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback, "What did you take?"
Jing Yannian took a deep look at her, and suddenly stretched out the hand behind his back.
There was a "thump".
A big fish in his hand flicked its tail violently, some of the water beads on the tail hit Jing Yannian's head and handsome face.
His face was clear and clear, but there was no look of disdain.
The fish in his hand is bigger than the one she caught just now, no matter what, it must weigh more than ten catties, right?It's as long as a child who can just walk!
"You, you..." Xiao Yuzhuo stared at Jing Yannian, speechless for a moment.
"I heard that the two days of vegetarian food made you hungry?" Jing Yannian stepped forward and asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo quickly waved his hand, "Don't bring the fish here, I don't want to see it at all right now!"
Jing Yannian couldn't help laughing, and called the maid to take out the fish.
Without the dying fish, the room was completely quiet.
Jing Yannian walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. The two were very close, and they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats in the quiet room.
Xiao Yuzhuo became nervous for no reason.
Jing Yannian's gaze fell on her quietly, "I'm sorry..."
He suddenly whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly raised his head, "Why do you apologize?"
Jing Yannian's beautiful eyes drooped, as if he really blamed himself, "When you were most helpless and most afraid, I was not by your side."
Xiao Yuzhuo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and suddenly he chuckled, "It was just an accident, who would know in advance? Could it be that I really want to tie myself to your belt?"
Jing Yannian's face froze slightly, and he smiled softly, "It surprised you."
"Cut," Xiao Yuzhuo disdainfully said, "What is this? It's far worse than when you treated me..."
Having said that, she gave a sharp pause.
The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff and condensed because of her words.
Jing Yannian let out an inaudible sigh, and changed the subject: "I found a girl who can cook from the people's house at the foot of the mountain. She is quite clever. If you want to eat fish, ask her to cook it for you in this yard." You are hungry."
Xiao Yuzhuo rolled his eyes, "This is a Buddhist temple, I don't want to be kicked out by the monks."
Jing Yannian shook his head, "I've ordered people to surround the yard, and the monks couldn't come in even if they smelled the scent."
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him speechlessly, and muttered in a low voice, "Who says I'm greedy? I hate that fish because I caught it myself!"
"If you have free time in the future, I will accompany you to go fishing in Qujiang Pond, okay?" Jing Yannian said suddenly.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him quickly.
He turned his face away, which seemed to make him quite uncomfortable.
Xiao Yuzhuo was suspicious, Jing Yannian used to hate the princess so much, since when did he become like this unconsciously?
"Can you still get up?" Jing Yannian asked suddenly.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "I fell into the water by accident, and it's not that I'm missing an arm or a leg, why can't I get up?"
Jing Yannian's face was slightly displeased when he heard the words, "Don't say anything unlucky."
"Impressive General Lang Jun, do you still taboo about these things?" Xiao Yuzhuo threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed.
She staggered and couldn't stand still, Jing Yannian quickly grabbed her hand and supported her shoulder, "I don't shy away from it, but I don't want you to say that about yourself."
His voice is warm and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing slowly through his heart.
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart couldn't help but move, she quickly pressed it down hard, and put on her high-toed clogs as if she didn't hear anything, "Where is the little lady who can cook?"
Jing Yannian looked at her deeply, and walked out the door side by side with her.
Sure enough, there was a young girl outside the door who was squatting in the corner and slaughtering big fish neatly.
Mei Xiang's face turned pale when she saw Xiao Yuzhuo approaching, and stepped forward in small steps, "Lady, this is a Buddhist temple, will the Buddha...will you blame him?"
"Isn't the Buddha compassionate? Yuyu drowned in order to eat fish, so pitiful, how could the Buddha be willing to blame?" Jing Yan said with a young smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo secretly glanced at him.
The nimble little girl has already cleaned up the fish. She is not tall, but she is not small in strength. She carried the big fish to several masters in three or two steps, "I have seen several masters, dare to ask the master, how is this fish?" How are you going to eat it?"
"There is no pot or stove here, how can you cook this fish?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked, it sounded like he was embarrassing a little girl.
The little girl's complexion was sun-baked red and black, exuding health and vitality. She was not afraid of people, and smiled slightly, "My family will eat it roasted!"
When Xiao Yuzhuo thought of the grilled fish he ate at the night market in his previous life, he couldn't help feeling a little greedy, "Just as you said."
The little girl gave the fish to someone else, gathered firewood to make a fire, rubbed some spices on the fish and marinated it, and when the fire was almost warmed up, she put on a fish stand and grilled on the fire.
After a while, there is a tempting fragrance overflowing.
Xiao Yuzhuo kept watching the little girl's movements. The little girl did things quickly and deftly, without delaying things. Cooking and heating fires seemed to be what she was used to.
Even if she was surrounded by noble masters she didn't recognize, she didn't have the slightest stage fright.
When cooking food, the focus and self-confidence on her face is more like a natural chef. Her technique is flexible and beautiful. An ordinary grilled fish is in her little hands, but it becomes more and more alluring.
When Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the little girl, Jing Yannian was also looking at her.
The two sat under the gazebo in the courtyard. Although they didn't speak, they only heard the beeping and beeping of the bonfire where the fish were roasting.But there is an artistic conception that silence is better than sound at this time.
Jing Yannian looked at her with scrutiny at first, but it softened unconsciously, his eyes were deep and focused.
The scorching gaze seemed to be hotter than the burning fire.
Although Xiao Yuzhuo didn't look at him, he could clearly feel his gaze.
She felt uncomfortable and asked several times if the fish was cooked.
Mei Xiang was a little disturbed by her urging.
The little girl continued to grill the fish quietly and unhurriedly.
The smell of burnt fish and meat wafted all over the courtyard, Xiao Shiwuniang looked around at the door of her wing.
Seeing that Jing Yannian hadn't left yet, she giggled and retreated into her room.
The yard couldn't keep the fragrance out, and after a short while, there were noises coming from outside the yard.
"Is it because the monks can't sit still?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
A guard outside hurriedly came to report, "Report to the general, His Royal Highness King Yue is coming in."
Not a monk?
But this person made Xiao Yuzhuo more uncomfortable than the monk.
Her face froze, and she couldn't help blurting out: "What is he doing here?"
"His Royal Highness Yue said that he could smell the smell of grilled fish here. If he is not asked to share the food, he has no choice but to invite the abbot." The guard clasped his hands and said, "He said he would tell the abbot that the smell of meat has attracted all his emotions and six desires." If it pops up, it’s hard to pray for Buddha.”
This man is really shameless!
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help snorting coldly, the good impression that he saved his life in the river disappeared instantly.
"Please come in, King Yue." Jing Yannian nodded.
"In the pure place of Buddhism, General Jing is very at ease?" King Yue stepped forward with a smile, and when he saw the grilled fish in the little girl's hand, he sniffed vigorously.
"The monks in this temple must be deaf, and they didn't surround the courtyard?" King Yue laughed again.
Jing Yannian got up and cupped his hands, "Thank you His Royal Highness Yue Wang for saving the beloved wife of the lower official in the mountains and rivers behind."
Xiao Yuzhuo was about to get up and salute, but he paused when he heard this, how did he know?
Her eyes fell on Jing Yannian, and she thought he didn't know, so from the time they met to now, he didn't ask any more questions.
But he actually knew?
At this time, the king of Yue changed into a regular suit, and the crimson purple color made his face even more charming.
He squinted his eyes and smiled, like a peach blossom in full bloom, shining brightly, "Why are you being polite? I am repaying a grievance with virtue! If General Jing really appreciates it, he should invite me to eat fish!"
Jing Yannian nodded and smiled, and asked him to sit down in the pavilion.
Xiao Yuzhuo was full of embarrassment, what does it mean to repay a grievance with virtue?Why not just drown him a cat?Do you need to hold grudges for so long?
"If Mr. Lang wants to thank the King of Yue, why not give him a cat." Xiao Yuzhuo snorted coldly.
Li Tai immediately raised his head, his eyes shone brightly, "Oh? What cat?"
"His Royal Highness, what did you say to repay grievances with virtue?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked with raised eyebrows.
The King of Yue chuckled, "Hey, the Princess is talking about drowning the cat? How long has it been, and the Princess still remembers it?"
Instead, she remembered?Xiao Yuzhuo stared.
"I don't keep cats anymore, and now I can swim thanks to the princess who pushed me into the water." King Yue laughed.
And this thing?
Hearing this, Jing Yannian looked sideways at Xiao Yuzhuo.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared, at a loss.Did the princess forget, or is this king of Yue talking nonsense?
Mei Xiang was standing outside the pavilion, but she couldn't ask anyone else at this moment, in order not to reveal her secret, Xiao Yuzhuo snorted coldly and turned her face away.
It just so happened that the little girl had finished grilling the fish.
(End of this chapter)
Li Shuyi looked around and laughed loudly, "Xiao Yuzhuo, where is your family, General Jing? Isn't he here to protect you?"
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips, resisting the sarcasm for a long time.
"Hmph, in the past, Princess Shouchang was so beautiful in the capital. I'm afraid the princess didn't get as much glory as you. Now she is a complete housewife. When you go out, you have to be protected from head to toe by the lord!" Li Shuyi His tone was sour.
Xiao Yuzhuo sneered, "I'm afraid you want no one to protect you, are you?" A rebuttal was on her lips, but she didn't want to cause trouble, so she had to hold it back.
Seeing that she didn't make a sound, Li Shuyi was both proud and bored, she turned her head and said, "Huizhi, let's go fishing."
Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo see Li Huizhi who had fallen two steps behind her.
Li Huizhi followed her quietly, making people think that she was not a princess, but just a court lady behind Li Shuyi.
Li Tai did see his sister, but he didn't look at her more, and turned his eyes to look at Xiao Yuzhuo with a half-smile.
"Master, why don't you go fishing together?" Li Huizhi whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at her, "You only brought two pieces of fishing gear, forget it."
"If you don't dare, you don't dare, what's the matter?" Li Shuyi snorted lightly.
Ignore her, is she still motivated?
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "I just don't dare, how about it?"
"It's good to admit it, what else can I do to you? Who doesn't know that your family, General Jing, is in this temple. I'm afraid it will make you cry, and your family's general will come to settle accounts with us again!" Li Shuyi smiled. Walk to the embankment of the river.
"Your family's general?" Li Tai played with the word and shook his head, "That's not a good name, it's obviously from the Holy Master's family."
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart skipped a beat.
Facing Li Tai, it would be better to go fishing with Li Shuyi.
At least she didn't have so much to say when she was fishing, the look in Li Tai's eyes really made her unbearable.
"Wait, I heard that the fish is the most plump at this time!" Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Li Huizhi immediately stood still and looked back at her, "The princess is also here to fish?"
Li Shuyi supported her waist and laughed loudly, "Xiao Yuzhuo, do you have no brains? This is a Buddhist temple! After catching fish, do you still want the monks to kill and cook fish for you? It's just fishing for fun!"
"This is the mountain behind the temple, it's already outside the temple, can't I catch fish and eat it myself?" Xiao Yuzhuo was teased by her several times, but couldn't bear it anymore.
Li Shuyi was about to open her mouth to ridicule, but she didn't know what to think, her eyes rolled, "That's right, then you come too!"
It seems that Xiao Yuzhuo was able to fish because of her kindness!
Xiao Yuzhuo was depressed, if it wasn't for avoiding Li Tai's uncomfortable gaze, she wouldn't go fishing with them!
After turning over the embankment, there are several large flat rocks standing by the water, which is a good place for fishing.
The top is polished and shiny, probably many people have fished here.
Mei Xiang ordered the little maid to fetch another pair of fishing gear.
Xiao Yuzhuo and the two princesses chose the places where they fished and cast their rods on the rocks.
The fishing platform formed by several stones is not too spacious, only Li Shuyi is standing on the fishing platform with a maid beside her.
The rest of the maids and servants stood guard on the embankment.
A wooden bucket was placed at my feet, half filled with clean water.
Not long after Xiao Yuzhuo lowered the pole, the float moved.
She was overjoyed immediately, looked at the right moment, and slammed the rod up, a silver carp the size of a palm.
"Cut, it's not too bad to feed the cat." Li Shuyi snorted coldly.
Xiao Yuzhuo ignored her, and put the bait back on the rod again.
Not long after, the fish floats of the other two remained silent, but another fish bit the hook on Xiao Yuzhuo's side.
She raised the pole, and it turned out to be a half-sized crucian carp.
"Wow, the princess is so powerful!" Mei Xiang clapped her hands on the embankment and shouted.
Li Shuyi's face was ugly, "Shut up, I'm scaring away the fish in my palace!"
Mei Xiang giggled and raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't know if it was because of her good luck today, or because her bait was particularly fragrant.
The other two princesses haven't caught anything yet, but she has already caught five fish, big and small.
"You must have messed with the bait!" Li Shuyi stood up abruptly, pointing to the bait at her feet.
Xiao Yuzhuo squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, "Just admit that your skills are inferior to others, what kind of bait are you talking about? Could it be that I have prepared long ago to invite the princess to fish?"
The tone of this voice is too ironic.
Li Shuyi's face became even more ugly, "I don't believe it if I change the bait!"
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his chin at the maid, "Give it to Princess Nanping, if you can't catch any fish after changing the bait, what else can the princess say?"
The maid immediately changed the bait of the two.
Not long after he dropped the fishing rod again, Xiao Yuzhuo's float moved again, and this time the movement was very loud.
Just as she was about to retrieve the line, the fishing line was pulled tight, and the whole fishing rod was bent.
"It's a big fish! It's a big fish!" Mei Xiang cheered excitedly.
After finishing speaking, seeing Li Shuyi's knife-like gaze sweeping over, she quickly covered her mouth.
"You can't pull it back by force, you have to let it go, and you can pull it out when you're tired!" Li Huizhi whispered suddenly.
When she is not speaking, everyone seems to be unable to feel her existence, and only when she speaks can people think of her.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, but she was a little helpless. Actually, she was not very good at fishing.
"Is it convenient for the princess to help?" Xiao Yuzhuo already felt that this fish must be quite big, and would pull her fishing rod away several times with great strength.
How to follow the fish, how to slip the fish, she can't?
Li Huizhi saw that she was not being polite, so she put down her fishing rod and came forward to hold the rod with her.
As soon as the pole was in her hands, Xiao Yuzhuo felt a lot more relaxed.
"Princess, don't let go." Li Huizhi said suddenly.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, and also gripped the fishing rod tightly. This was the first big fish she caught in her life, and she couldn't let it get away!
I slipped away for a while.
Li Huizhi nodded suddenly and said, "Okay, it's exhausted!"
As she said that, she nodded to Xiao Yuzhuo, and the two raised their hands at the same time with a tacit understanding, and lifted the fishing rod up sharply.
The fish came out of the water with a splash.
"Hey! What a big fish!" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly.
Li Huizhi also smiled.
This fish probably weighs seven or eight catties!
Xiao Yuzhuo was so happy, is this a blind cat meeting a dead mouse?How could a person who doesn't know how to fish catch such a big fish?
"What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just a fish? She's really a village woman, she's never seen the world!" Li Shuyi said eccentrically.
"Some people think that they can't catch it, but insist that the bait is not good. If they can't catch it after changing the bait, they say that the fish is not good." Xiao Yuzhuo laughed.
Li Shuyi's face turned black immediately, and the fishing rod slammed onto the rock.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared at her, "What, the princess wants to grab it? No need, if you like this fish, I'll just give it to you..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Shuyi suddenly lifted her foot and kicked her bucket over with a plop.
All the fish in the bucket fell back into the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The biggest fish flopped on the stone twice, splashing water everywhere.
"Catch it!" Xiao Yuzhuo was reluctant to part with the fish.
Who has never seen a fish?Who hasn't eaten fish?She doesn't even care about fish that are bigger than this!But this was only caught by her!
But the fish was so slippery that it jumped to Li Shuyi's feet, and Li Shuyi kicked it.
Puff.
The fish fell into the water and splashed high in the water.
Xiao Yuzhuo glared at Li Shuyi, "Princess is deceiving too much, right?"
"You are the one who bullies!" Li Shuyi snorted coldly.
Xiao Yuzhuo was furious and wanted to push Li Shuyi into the water as well.
But the maid next to Li Shuyi jumped up immediately and hugged her waist, "Princess, calm down!"
Li Shuyi's face was dark, "Oh, you are so brave, you dare to attack me?"
As she spoke, she shook out a long whip from her waist.
"Get out of the way!" Li Shuyi shouted coldly.
The maid immediately released Xiao Yuzhuo.
Behind Xiao Yuzhuo was the river, and her maids were all on the embankment.
The place on the rock was not that big, and Li Shuyi struck quickly and ruthlessly.
Zhuxiang wanted to step forward to protect her master, but before she could get over the embankment, Li Shuyi's whip had already been thrown down.
Xiao Yuzhuo stepped back, only saw someone's figure flashed out of the corner of his eye, the pain didn't come, but his foot slipped.
"Ah—" she exclaimed.
puff-
Like her big fish, it fell into the water.
"The princess has fallen into the water—" There was a loud scream from the shore.
Xiao Yuzhuo's clothes were soaked in an instant, and she had just thumped a few times when she felt water rushing towards her from all directions.
The more nervous she was, the more her clothes were soaked in water, the more she sank.
She opened her eyes to see the situation on the shore, but when she opened her eyes, only water poured into her eyes, which was sour and astringent.
When she opened her mouth, water poured into her nose and mouth, choking and causing burning pain in her chest.
Help!Help!
There was only one thought in her mind.
She didn't want to drown!
There are still good years in her life that she has not enjoyed...
The surface of the river looked calm, but under the surface, there was an undercurrent surging.
It seems that there is a force, which has been dragging her down...continuously sinking...
Xiao Yuzhuo was terrified and struggled hard.
But the more she struggled, the deeper she seemed to sink... She couldn't breathe, it was full of water, water everywhere...
The burning in my throat is full of river water...
The undercurrent seemed to drag her away from the place where she fell into the water, and she could clearly hear someone jumping into the water to rescue her, but she couldn't see anyone in the water.
can't catch anything...
Suddenly someone grabbed her waist.
Xiao Yuzhuo was excited, and like an octopus, he clawed at the person holding her.
She had read the reports and knew that it might delay the death of those who rescued her, and both of them would drown.
But it is useless to know rationally, and the human survival instinct is infinitely magnified at this moment.
The fear of death and the helplessness of drowning made her instinctively want to grab anything she could grab.
Suddenly felt a pain in the neck.
She was in a trance for a while, and she couldn't help but let go of her grip. She felt that she was knocked out and passed out.
But her consciousness was not completely chaotic, she could feel someone dragging her, desperately swimming to the shore.
The undercurrent under the river surface is very fast, and there is great resistance underwater.
But the person who dragged her swam very hard, and also pulled her very tightly.
He has great strength, if not for her, maybe he can swim as fast as an arrow.
Xiao Yuzhuo was in a trance. The moment she was dragged ashore, she felt that she was really dead...
Could it be that he died again?
"Princess, princess?" Mei Xiang's voice panicked.
Someone slammed on her stomach, once or twice...
"Puff... Cough cough, cough cough..." Xiao Yuzhuo wanted to say don't press it, it hurts, it hurts...
But she didn't speak, but she coughed up water, and after coughing up the water, she breathed heavily.
Finally there was no more water, finally it was no longer surrounded by water from all directions, and finally there was no force dragging her down.
The feeling of not being able to catch anything in the water is really desperate and frightening...
Xiao Yuzhuo felt that at this moment, he was really born again!
She was even more excited than when she just woke up from the princess.
The feeling of remaining alive after the catastrophe moved her so much that she wanted to cry.
She opened her eyes, wanting to catch a glimpse of her savior, the one who rescued her from despair.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was completely stunned.
Yue King Li Taizheng had a gloomy face, squatting half kneeling beside her, with one hand on her belly and the other stroking her back.
His whole body was drenched, the originally luxurious robes and black hair were dripping with water.
His gloomy face was covered with drops of water, and besides the drops of water, there were two red scratches.
Uh... She didn't catch that, right?Xiao Yuzhuo licked her lips, and to hide her embarrassment, she coughed violently again.
"You are so lucky!" Li Shuyi's sneering voice came from above her head.
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuzhuo was really angry. The fear of being drowned in the water almost swallowed her reason. She stared at Princess Nanping with red eyes, "Try to say it again?"
Shocked by her momentum, Princess Nanping looked at her in astonishment, moved her lips, and really didn't dare to say it again.
In front of so many people, she felt that she was losing face again, and she couldn't help but angrily said: "You yell at me? This is the following offense..."
"Go and tell the Holy One!" Xiao Yuzhuo didn't know where his strength came from, but he jumped up from the ground, raised his finger and pointed at Li Shuyi's nose and said, "Go back to the palace now, and tell the Holy One, I'll offend you next time, and I'll bully you!" ! Ask the Holy Spirit to come and punish me!"
Her eyes were wide open, her face was full of anger, and the tips of her outstretched fingers almost poked Li Shuyi's nose.
Li Shuyi was shocked by her horrified aura, stepped back two steps, and snorted heavily, "Bengong, I don't know as much as you!"
Princess Nanping left in a huff.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they were clamoring to send Xiao Yuzhuo back to wash and rest.
Ji Wang and Xiao Shiwuniang also stood aside.
Ji Wang frowned lightly, his eyes were heavy and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xiao Shiwuniang's face turned pale, and she was still in shock.
Xiao Yuzhuo turned around, looked at Li Tai, the King of Yue who was exuding a gloomy aura, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Li Tai smiled contemptuously with the corners of his mouth curled up, "It turns out that the princess can't swim either? Now you know how painful it is to drown?"
Xiao Yuzhuo's face froze, the pain was second to none, the helplessness in the water, the fear of not being able to catch anything, was what crushed a person the most.
"Yes." Xiao Yuzhuo nodded at him with a stiff face.
Mei Xiang and Zhu Xiang hurriedly helped her into the wing room.
Xiao Yuzhuo changed into dry clothes, leaned on the couch, Mei Xiang knelt beside her, fumigated her half-dried hair.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help recalling the situation when he fell into the water, and frowned slightly, "Where's Li Huizhi?"
Mei Xiangzhu Xiang was taken aback when she heard the words, the two looked at each other and shook their heads blankly.
"I remember, before I fell into the water, she rushed ahead of me..." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
"Did she bump into the princess?" Mei Xiang immediately asked vigilantly.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook her head, Li Huizhi didn't touch her, it was the bucket that Li Shuyi kicked over earlier, the water spilled on the stone, and she slipped and fell down.
But the figure rushing forward from the corner of her eye really startled her.
"She blocked Princess Nanping's whip." Zhu Xiang frowned and said, "But then the princess fell into the water and everyone was frightened, so they didn't pay attention to her."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at Zhuxiang fiercely, "How about the whip wound on your body?"
As soon as she arrived yesterday, Zhuxiang received two whips from Princess Nanping for her.
Zhu Xiang pursed her lips and shook her head, "The servant girl is fine, the servant girl is resistant to beating."
Xiao Yuzhuo insisted on seeing her injuries.
Zhu Xiang couldn't help it, so she blushed and opened her clothes to show her.
Mei Xiang gasped, "It hurts so badly!"
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes narrowed slightly.
Zhuxiang's skin is not as fair and delicate as ordinary girls. On the wheat-colored skin, although the two red marks are not broken, they are still shocking.
Zhu Xiang quickly explained, "It's just scary to look at. After applying the medicine given to the servant girl by the princess yesterday, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.
Zhu Xiang was afraid that she would be worried, and said: "Actually, this injury is really nothing. When I was learning kung fu, my servant suffered from injuries that were much heavier than this. I don't feel any pain when I get beaten. gone."
After finishing speaking, she grinned.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and nodded slightly, "You have a tough temper, practiced martial arts when you were young, and you were injured like this, so what about Li Huizhi?"
Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang looked at each other, and couldn't help frowning, worried.
"Do you still have the wound medicine we brought out?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a deep voice.
Mei Xiang nodded quickly.
"Bring the bamboo fragrance to her." Xiao Yuzhuo ordered, "No matter what, she has been whipped for me, and it would not be worthwhile to have revenge for this."
Zhuxiang quickly took orders and left.
Not long after, she came back from Li Huizhi's place, and she couldn't help sighing again and again.
"The princess asked you to deliver the medicine, why are you sighing?" Mei Xiang frowned at her.
"When the maid went, the sixth princess's maid was crying." Zhuxiang said in a low voice, "They didn't seem to bring any good wound medicine, the sixth princess was lying on the bed, although she didn't cry, but she was holding back. "
Mei Xiang opened her mouth in astonishment, but closed it again without saying a word.
"The maid sent me the wound medicine, the maid was so grateful, she took the hand of the maid and thanked her repeatedly." Zhu Xiang said, "The sixth princess also asked the maid to convey her thanks."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, she looked at the bed curtain, her eyes were filled with gleams of thoughtful light.
Suddenly Xiao Shiwuniang's voice came from outside the door, "General, please..."
The three masters and servants in the room all looked out.
Speaking of which, Xiao Yuzhuo came to Mingjue Temple because of Xiao Shiwuniang's affairs.Now that Xiao Yuzhuo fell into the water, Xiao Shiwuniang should feel the most sorry. When the maids are waiting for her to change clothes and freshen up, it's fine if she doesn't stand forward.
I should have come to visit earlier, but I haven't seen her.
The maid let out a cry, and pushed open the door, only to see Shiwu Niang standing at the door with a slightly sweaty face, her expression panicked and anxious.
And behind her stood Jing Yannian with narrow eyes.
Shiwu Niang took a breath, "Sister, how are you doing?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "I'm fine, I'm worrying you."
Xiao Shiwuniang stepped forward quickly, sat on the edge of the bed, and took her hand, "This is the female guest room, the general is late, don't be angry."
Was it because she was afraid that she would lose her temper and provoke Jing Yannian away?
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll come see you later." Xiao Shiwuniang nodded at her, let go of her hand, and walked out step by step.
The maids also retreated outside the door with their hands down.
Only then did Jing Yannian walk towards the bed.
There was a sudden movement behind him.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback, "What did you take?"
Jing Yannian took a deep look at her, and suddenly stretched out the hand behind his back.
There was a "thump".
A big fish in his hand flicked its tail violently, some of the water beads on the tail hit Jing Yannian's head and handsome face.
His face was clear and clear, but there was no look of disdain.
The fish in his hand is bigger than the one she caught just now, no matter what, it must weigh more than ten catties, right?It's as long as a child who can just walk!
"You, you..." Xiao Yuzhuo stared at Jing Yannian, speechless for a moment.
"I heard that the two days of vegetarian food made you hungry?" Jing Yannian stepped forward and asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo quickly waved his hand, "Don't bring the fish here, I don't want to see it at all right now!"
Jing Yannian couldn't help laughing, and called the maid to take out the fish.
Without the dying fish, the room was completely quiet.
Jing Yannian walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. The two were very close, and they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats in the quiet room.
Xiao Yuzhuo became nervous for no reason.
Jing Yannian's gaze fell on her quietly, "I'm sorry..."
He suddenly whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly raised his head, "Why do you apologize?"
Jing Yannian's beautiful eyes drooped, as if he really blamed himself, "When you were most helpless and most afraid, I was not by your side."
Xiao Yuzhuo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and suddenly he chuckled, "It was just an accident, who would know in advance? Could it be that I really want to tie myself to your belt?"
Jing Yannian's face froze slightly, and he smiled softly, "It surprised you."
"Cut," Xiao Yuzhuo disdainfully said, "What is this? It's far worse than when you treated me..."
Having said that, she gave a sharp pause.
The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff and condensed because of her words.
Jing Yannian let out an inaudible sigh, and changed the subject: "I found a girl who can cook from the people's house at the foot of the mountain. She is quite clever. If you want to eat fish, ask her to cook it for you in this yard." You are hungry."
Xiao Yuzhuo rolled his eyes, "This is a Buddhist temple, I don't want to be kicked out by the monks."
Jing Yannian shook his head, "I've ordered people to surround the yard, and the monks couldn't come in even if they smelled the scent."
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him speechlessly, and muttered in a low voice, "Who says I'm greedy? I hate that fish because I caught it myself!"
"If you have free time in the future, I will accompany you to go fishing in Qujiang Pond, okay?" Jing Yannian said suddenly.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him quickly.
He turned his face away, which seemed to make him quite uncomfortable.
Xiao Yuzhuo was suspicious, Jing Yannian used to hate the princess so much, since when did he become like this unconsciously?
"Can you still get up?" Jing Yannian asked suddenly.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "I fell into the water by accident, and it's not that I'm missing an arm or a leg, why can't I get up?"
Jing Yannian's face was slightly displeased when he heard the words, "Don't say anything unlucky."
"Impressive General Lang Jun, do you still taboo about these things?" Xiao Yuzhuo threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed.
She staggered and couldn't stand still, Jing Yannian quickly grabbed her hand and supported her shoulder, "I don't shy away from it, but I don't want you to say that about yourself."
His voice is warm and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing slowly through his heart.
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart couldn't help but move, she quickly pressed it down hard, and put on her high-toed clogs as if she didn't hear anything, "Where is the little lady who can cook?"
Jing Yannian looked at her deeply, and walked out the door side by side with her.
Sure enough, there was a young girl outside the door who was squatting in the corner and slaughtering big fish neatly.
Mei Xiang's face turned pale when she saw Xiao Yuzhuo approaching, and stepped forward in small steps, "Lady, this is a Buddhist temple, will the Buddha...will you blame him?"
"Isn't the Buddha compassionate? Yuyu drowned in order to eat fish, so pitiful, how could the Buddha be willing to blame?" Jing Yan said with a young smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo secretly glanced at him.
The nimble little girl has already cleaned up the fish. She is not tall, but she is not small in strength. She carried the big fish to several masters in three or two steps, "I have seen several masters, dare to ask the master, how is this fish?" How are you going to eat it?"
"There is no pot or stove here, how can you cook this fish?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked, it sounded like he was embarrassing a little girl.
The little girl's complexion was sun-baked red and black, exuding health and vitality. She was not afraid of people, and smiled slightly, "My family will eat it roasted!"
When Xiao Yuzhuo thought of the grilled fish he ate at the night market in his previous life, he couldn't help feeling a little greedy, "Just as you said."
The little girl gave the fish to someone else, gathered firewood to make a fire, rubbed some spices on the fish and marinated it, and when the fire was almost warmed up, she put on a fish stand and grilled on the fire.
After a while, there is a tempting fragrance overflowing.
Xiao Yuzhuo kept watching the little girl's movements. The little girl did things quickly and deftly, without delaying things. Cooking and heating fires seemed to be what she was used to.
Even if she was surrounded by noble masters she didn't recognize, she didn't have the slightest stage fright.
When cooking food, the focus and self-confidence on her face is more like a natural chef. Her technique is flexible and beautiful. An ordinary grilled fish is in her little hands, but it becomes more and more alluring.
When Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the little girl, Jing Yannian was also looking at her.
The two sat under the gazebo in the courtyard. Although they didn't speak, they only heard the beeping and beeping of the bonfire where the fish were roasting.But there is an artistic conception that silence is better than sound at this time.
Jing Yannian looked at her with scrutiny at first, but it softened unconsciously, his eyes were deep and focused.
The scorching gaze seemed to be hotter than the burning fire.
Although Xiao Yuzhuo didn't look at him, he could clearly feel his gaze.
She felt uncomfortable and asked several times if the fish was cooked.
Mei Xiang was a little disturbed by her urging.
The little girl continued to grill the fish quietly and unhurriedly.
The smell of burnt fish and meat wafted all over the courtyard, Xiao Shiwuniang looked around at the door of her wing.
Seeing that Jing Yannian hadn't left yet, she giggled and retreated into her room.
The yard couldn't keep the fragrance out, and after a short while, there were noises coming from outside the yard.
"Is it because the monks can't sit still?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
A guard outside hurriedly came to report, "Report to the general, His Royal Highness King Yue is coming in."
Not a monk?
But this person made Xiao Yuzhuo more uncomfortable than the monk.
Her face froze, and she couldn't help blurting out: "What is he doing here?"
"His Royal Highness Yue said that he could smell the smell of grilled fish here. If he is not asked to share the food, he has no choice but to invite the abbot." The guard clasped his hands and said, "He said he would tell the abbot that the smell of meat has attracted all his emotions and six desires." If it pops up, it’s hard to pray for Buddha.”
This man is really shameless!
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help snorting coldly, the good impression that he saved his life in the river disappeared instantly.
"Please come in, King Yue." Jing Yannian nodded.
"In the pure place of Buddhism, General Jing is very at ease?" King Yue stepped forward with a smile, and when he saw the grilled fish in the little girl's hand, he sniffed vigorously.
"The monks in this temple must be deaf, and they didn't surround the courtyard?" King Yue laughed again.
Jing Yannian got up and cupped his hands, "Thank you His Royal Highness Yue Wang for saving the beloved wife of the lower official in the mountains and rivers behind."
Xiao Yuzhuo was about to get up and salute, but he paused when he heard this, how did he know?
Her eyes fell on Jing Yannian, and she thought he didn't know, so from the time they met to now, he didn't ask any more questions.
But he actually knew?
At this time, the king of Yue changed into a regular suit, and the crimson purple color made his face even more charming.
He squinted his eyes and smiled, like a peach blossom in full bloom, shining brightly, "Why are you being polite? I am repaying a grievance with virtue! If General Jing really appreciates it, he should invite me to eat fish!"
Jing Yannian nodded and smiled, and asked him to sit down in the pavilion.
Xiao Yuzhuo was full of embarrassment, what does it mean to repay a grievance with virtue?Why not just drown him a cat?Do you need to hold grudges for so long?
"If Mr. Lang wants to thank the King of Yue, why not give him a cat." Xiao Yuzhuo snorted coldly.
Li Tai immediately raised his head, his eyes shone brightly, "Oh? What cat?"
"His Royal Highness, what did you say to repay grievances with virtue?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked with raised eyebrows.
The King of Yue chuckled, "Hey, the Princess is talking about drowning the cat? How long has it been, and the Princess still remembers it?"
Instead, she remembered?Xiao Yuzhuo stared.
"I don't keep cats anymore, and now I can swim thanks to the princess who pushed me into the water." King Yue laughed.
And this thing?
Hearing this, Jing Yannian looked sideways at Xiao Yuzhuo.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared, at a loss.Did the princess forget, or is this king of Yue talking nonsense?
Mei Xiang was standing outside the pavilion, but she couldn't ask anyone else at this moment, in order not to reveal her secret, Xiao Yuzhuo snorted coldly and turned her face away.
It just so happened that the little girl had finished grilling the fish.
