Chapter 15
Chu Ninghuang was beaten with a sap, and was dragged into Shenhetang by two eunuchs.
"It's this guy, who has been peeping outside the door for several days! Will he be killed?"
When Chu Ninghuang heard the word "beat to death", he was startled. He looked up, but saw that he had been dragged into the main hall of Shenhe Hall.The hall was lifeless, exuding the rotten smell of a building that had been in disrepair.The hall was dark and gloomy, with a few pieces of elegant wooden furniture, but otherwise no decoration.
Chu Mei was wearing a ramie summer gown, quite plain, but she had a pompous bearing, even though she lived in a shabby room and wore simple clothes, she still did not change her elegant demeanor.
"It's you?" Chu Mei saw Emperor Chu Ning, "Are you the servant of Prince Yu?"
Chu Ninghuang remembered that when they first met, he lied that he was someone close to Lord Yu, and now it was even harder to change his words, so he bit the bullet and lied: "Yeah! I haven't seen you since, and I'm worried about your situation. I specially came to Shenhetang to look for you..."
Chu Mei frowned slightly, and said, "Really? Do you know who I am?"
"Didn't you say you are from Shenhetang?" Chu Ninghuang said, "Then you should be the same as me?"
"Shameless thing, who is like you?" The eunuch cursed viciously, "This is the master!"
When Chu Ninghuang heard the words "Master", he quickly mobilized his facial muscles, showing a look of surprise: "What? What master?"
The eunuch snorted coldly: "This is His Royal Highness. Why don't you hurry up and salute?"
"Ah...it's so shocking! I don't know it at all!" Chu Ninghuang shouted exaggeratedly with his dramatic acting skills, "My God! Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Chu Mei saw that the young man in front of him was about the same age as himself, but he was always startled, but he was very lively, so he smiled lightly and said, "Forget it, let him go."
Only then did the eunuch agree to release Emperor Chu Ning.
Emperor Chu Ning asked again: "Your Highness, can I sit down?"
The eunuch frowned: "Why are you talking to His Highness?"
Chu Ninghuang curled his lips: "That's how I talked to Lord Yu too!"
Chu Mei was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it was said that Prince Yu didn't pay attention to etiquette, and his rule was very loose, probably he could really raise such a young servant.
"Sit down. Just do whatever you want." Chu Mei said, "Prince Yu is my elder. If you treat me more respectfully than him, then I will be disrespectful."
Emperor Chu Ning pulled up a chair and sat down, looked around, and said only: "Your Highness, you said you were not treated harshly when you were by the stream! I see that no one takes care of your courtyard, and the main hall is only There are a few tables and stools left, not even a vase! What’s going on? Also...why is the door of Shenhetang locked all the time, so I can’t even knock on it.”
Chu Mei frowned, and only said: "Don't ask me these words anymore. I live a very stable life."
Seeing that Chu Mei was unwilling to say more, Emperor Chu Ning stopped asking.Simply started chatting with Chu Mei, only talking about anecdotes inside and outside the palace.Although Chu Mei looked old-fashioned, but he was a young man and had never left the palace gate, so he felt very fresh when he heard these things, and he was fascinated by them.
Chu Ninghuang spoke happily, and Chu Mei was also happy to hear it.The eunuchs on the left and right saw it, and changed their attitude towards Emperor Chu Ning, and took the initiative to make tea, and brought a bowl of green tea to Emperor Chu Ning, saying only: "I'm tired of talking, let's drink some tea to moisturize myself."
Chu Ninghuang lifted the lid and took a sip. He could only taste the rough taste of old tea, and he almost couldn't swallow it.
Chu Mei observed Chu Ninghuang's expression, and said with a smile, "Not used to it?"
Chu Mei and the left and right eunuchs saw that Chu Ninghuang was not used to drinking rough tea, but still did not doubt Chu Ninghuang's identity.After all, what a noble figure is Lord Yu?To be a servant of Lord Jade, the cost of food and clothing is better than that of many other young masters.
However, Chu Ninghuang thought that it would be too impolite for him to act disgusted with the tea that others brought out to entertain guests, and it would be a little embarrassing.He hurriedly said: "The servants of the palace are too outrageous! How can you let His Highness drink this kind of tea?"
Chu Mei only said: "Every meal is a gift from God."
Emperor Chu Ning didn't know how to respond, so he just said, "Ah... I'll bring you some good tea tomorrow!"
After saying this, Emperor Chu Ning realized that the faces of the eunuchs on the left and right had become resentful.After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Chu Ning finally realized that he is not an emperor now, but a servant!To be a servant and say to the prince, "Let me bring you something good", isn't that disrespecting the prince?Isn't this humiliating the prince?
Chu Ninghuang hurriedly changed his words and said, "I...I mean to offer you some good tea..."
Chu Mei chuckled lightly and said, "You don't have to be polite. I'm used to this."
After speaking, Chu Mei said again: "By the way, I still don't know what your name is?"
Chu Ninghuang was stunned for a moment before saying, "My name is Sansan."
"San San." Chu Mei murmured the name, only smiled, "It's a lovely name."
After speaking, Chu Mei said again: "You have been away for a long time, don't you need to go back to serve the prince?"
Chu Ninghuang thought for a while, thinking that this should be a disguised order to evict guests, so he stood up and said goodbye.
After Chu Ninghuang left Shenhetang, he wandered around in the palace again, wandering around, and actually wandered in front of the queen's palace.
After walking for half a day on a hot day, Emperor Chu Ning felt a little thirsty, and wanted to go to the queen to ask for some tea, but he was afraid of being rejected by the queen, so he hesitated to enter in front of the palace gate.
It happened that the queen was passing by the door, and when she saw Emperor Chu Ning, she said coldly, "What are you doing?"
Emperor Chu Ning saw Yan Bowan standing by the door, wearing a bunt, sweat dripping from his forehead, obviously he had just practiced martial arts.At this moment, Yan Bowan doesn't wear red clothes, and doesn't make decorations. He looks like a hot-blooded man. His sweaty bunt also outlines his perfect muscle lines, which makes any gay man's heart beat when he sees it.
Chu Ninghuang's heart was beating fast, but he quickly suppressed the throbbing, and scolded himself: Do you want to die?How dare Xiao Xiangyan Bowan?
Yan Bowan had already stepped forward, seeing that Emperor Chu Ning was dressed in casual clothes with mud still on his clothes, he asked, "Why are you in such a mess?"
Chu Ninghuang shook his head, touched the back of his head subconsciously, but felt a burst of pain, and said "ahhh".Finally, I remembered that I had been hit by a stick in the back of the head.
Seeing this, Yan Bowan pulled Chu Ninghuang over to have a look, and saw that there was a lump on Chu Ninghuang's head.Yan Bowan's expression darkened, and he said, "Which lifeless thing dares to attack you?"
Chu Ninghuang quickly shook his head: I was hit by a stick, it really hurts.But in the end it was also a misunderstanding.If he really wanted to pursue it, would the eunuch have to kill him all over the house?
Chu Ninghuang was not so cruel.
Emperor Chu Ning hurriedly said: "Cousin stop talking nonsense, how could anyone dare to do anything to me? I am the emperor!"
Yan Bo Wanchi let out a laugh: "You are the emperor, why don't I push you into the cesspit?"
"..." You fucking still remember this!
Seeing that Emperor Chu Ning's face turned blue, Yan Bowan suddenly remembered that after he pushed Emperor Chu Ning, news of Emperor Chu Ning's illness spread from the palace. …
Thinking of this, Yan Bowan felt uncomfortable for some reason.
Chu Ninghuang laughed and said, "We are 'Yuanshi'."
The depression in Yan Bowan's heart relaxed with this joke, but he still said with a straight face: "Don't be glib, what's the matter with your injury?"
Saying that, Yan Bowan turned his head and said: "Tell the imperial physician!"
"Don't tell the imperial doctor!" Chu Ninghuang held Yan Bowan back, "I jumped over the wall to play and fell out!" As he said, Chu Ninghuang pointed to the mud on his clothes and shoes, "Really! You see, my clothes are dirty from the fall. If the imperial physician finds out about this, it is equivalent to being known by the empress dowager, and the empress dowager should blame me again."
Yan Bowan was quite helpless, sighed, and said, "Come in and talk."
Emperor Chu Ning didn't notice either. Before touching Yan Bowan's sleeve, Yan Bowan even hated it.Now he is covered in mud, but Yan Bowan is willing to let him pull him.
Yan Bowan brought Emperor Chu Ning indoors and asked someone to bathe and change the emperor's clothes.
The queen's palace was equipped with the emperor's pajamas, so Emperor Chu Ning could put on his own pajamas after taking a bath.
However, this was the first time Yan Bowan saw Emperor Chu Ning in pajamas.
Chu Ninghuang has a thin body, Yan Bowan knows this, but there are several layers of ordinary dresses and casual clothes that can support him. Now Chu Ninghuang only wears a thin cotton pajamas, which completely shows his appearance. The figure of a slender boy came.It's like a flower bud that hasn't bloomed.
After taking a bath, Chu Ninghuang pulled up his long hair with a golden hairpin, revealing his slender neck, which was still filled with warm water vapor.
Yan Bowan's eyes were heavy, and he suddenly thought: Can the concubine who usually sleeps see him like this?
Emperor Chu Ning sat down on the side of the beauty, patted the back of his head, and said, "Cousin, I heard that you always fight on horseback. Do you have any medicine for your injuries?"
Yan Bo Wan came back to his senses after hearing the words, picked up the wound medicine prepared for Emperor Chu Ning earlier in the morning, and said, "Let me give you the medicine."
"Oh, thank you, cousin." Chu Ninghuang lowered his head obediently, and his slender neck stretched out. Because he was too fair, even blue blood vessels could be seen.
Looking at the neck that looked like it could be snapped off, Wu Fu Yan Bowan suddenly felt some ambivalence of love and tyranny, and unconsciously rubbed the soft skin under his fingers: "Hold it a little bit. It will hurt. "
"Ah!" Chu Ninghuang immediately retracted his head, "Then I don't want it."
"You say you want it, or you don't want it?" Yan Bowan snorted coldly, and pushed Emperor Chu Ning down on the beauty.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager was coming outside the Queen's Palace. She wanted to have a chat with Yan Bowan, but she vaguely saw Emperor Chu Ning being pressed against the beauty by Yan Bowan, and the voice of the two came again:
"Be patient. It will hurt." It was Yan Bowan's voice.
"Ah!" Chu Ninghuang's voice said, "Then I don't want it."
"You say you want it, or you don't want it?"
"Ah...what are you doing! Cousin don't...it hurts!"
"Be patient."
When the queen mother heard the sound, she turned her head and left, only saying: Sure enough, the male concubine is stronger than the female concubine!
I don't know if the emperor's small body can bear it!
The queen mother returned to her palace to read the booklets, and when it was time to light the lamps, the mother came to report: "The emperor is staying with the queen tonight."
"Oh," the Queen Mother nodded, as if she knew it early on, "OK."
The mother said again: "This is the first time that the emperor summons the queen on a day other than the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year."
Normally, Yan Bowan looked unattainable, and Chu Ninghuang also looked like he didn't dare to climb.Therefore, except for the "statutory Empress Days" such as the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Chu Ning would not go to the empress to make trouble.
The mother said happily: "It seems that the relationship between the emperor and the empress is getting better and better."
"Isn't it?" The queen mother was also happy to see the result, but she remembered the conversation between Yan Bowan and Emperor Chu Ning that she heard today, and said anxiously, "But, Wan'er looks exquisite, but he is actually a martial artist. His hands and feet are rough, but our emperor has delicate skin and tender flesh, so he can't stand the toss."
So the queen mother ordered the mother to send a jar of plaster.
Chu Ninghuang stayed with the queen mainly because he didn't want others to know that he had a swollen head.If he went back to his own palace, he would definitely not be able to hide his injury, so he simply stayed here with the queen.
The two had a meal together, and when they were eating, they saw a jar of plaster brought by the mother.
Chu Ninghuang asked curiously: "What is this?"
The mother smiled and replied: "If you want to answer the emperor, this is specially sent by the queen mother. This ointment has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."
Chu Ninghuang's expression changed: Huh?Does the Queen Mother know about my injury?She is so supernatural?God, then will she also know that I was injured in Shenhetang?
Yan Bowan seemed to want to go with Emperor Chu Ning, but he hid his expression and said calmly, "Got it."
Mammy smiled and left.
After the nanny left, Chu Ninghuang immediately grabbed the plaster in his hand and said eagerly, "Does the Queen Mother know about my injury?"
"maybe."
"That's too scary!" Chu Ninghuang was very surprised: In order to act secretly, he deliberately chose a path that no one walked, and this was discovered?Did the queen mother install surveillance in the palace?
Yan Bowan also felt uncomfortable: "She sent the plaster in like this, maybe she wanted to imply to us that no matter what we tried to cover up, she would know."
"Ahem." Xiao Liangzi coughed dryly, and said, "The two masters are very reasonable, but the servant feels that the Queen Mother may still not know about the emperor's injury."
This little Liangzi is Yan Bowan's confidant, brought in from Yan's house, and has been serving Yan Bowan since he was a child.
Xiao Liangzi only said: "This ointment seems to be the legendary 'Fen Peach Ointment'..."
"..." Emperor Chu Ning fell silent.
Yan Bowan asked curiously: "What is Fen Peach Cream?"
Xiao Liangzi coughed dryly twice, and said, "Divide the peach paste...that's..."
Xiao Liangzi picked up a birthday peach on the table and said, "This is a peach." Xiao Liangzi picked up a chopstick and inserted it into the hollow in the middle of the birthday peach. "The chopsticks are very dry when inserted, and they may need some lubrication... ..." Xiao Liangzi inserted the chopsticks a little, then pulled them out again, "At this time, if I use the peach paste, I can..."
"You can shut up now!" Yan Bowan said harshly, with a serious face, but the base of the jade-like ears turned red.Presumably, he already understood the function of Fen Peach Paste.
Facing Xiao Liangzi's vivid narration, Emperor Chu Ning couldn't help admiring, what a clever little ghost.The lectures are so vivid and detailed with the help of teaching aids, Xiao Liangzi is very suitable for going to kindergarten to work!
