Chapter 54 She is thin-skinned
Xue Qingyin followed King Xuan out of the harem and came to the front palace.
Along the way, the security on the road has obviously become much stricter.
The atmosphere was so solemn and harsh that Xue Qingyin didn't even think it was called elopement.
This is to lure her into selling.
As they walked on the road, no soldiers looked at them in surprise.
Come to think of it, I might not even dare to look up.
Random thoughts flew through Xue Qingyin's mind.
King Xuan stopped and said, "That's the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
Xue Qingyin also stopped and looked.
Not far away is a huge two-story palace with a long and noble hall in front of it.
Without even getting close, you can already feel that it is like a ferocious giant beast, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.
"My father likes to have banquets and meet ministers here." King Xuan said briefly, and then looked in another direction, "That's the Qingsi Palace."
The Qingsi Hall looks larger, and the Taihe Hall is far smaller than it.
However, the exterior walls and bricks of Qingsi Hall are in bright colors, which makes it look less depressing.
"That's where we are going." King Xuan said.
Xue Qingyin wondered: "Is it useful to hide?"
She felt that the logic was not quite right.
After all, if the emperor really wanted to issue an order to point her out to King Wei, then her presence or absence would not affect the outcome at all!
"It's not hiding."
What is that?
Xue Qingyin looked at him.
However, His Highness Prince Xuan cherished his words like gold and had no intention of explaining it to her carefully.
Fortunately, Xue Qingyin has always been at ease.
She followed King Xuan into the Qingsi Palace.
Once inside, I realized that it was even wider inside.
The bookcase at the entrance is built so high that it looks like it reaches the sky.
Ahead are the nine-ring chain, chessboard and other objects hanging on the wall.
In addition, there are places for playing polo, archery, pot throwing, and swinging.
Xue Qingyin realized that this is a place for leisure and entertainment!
The discomfort of coming over, and the unhappiness that might be pointed out to King Wei, were all diluted in an instant, and were replaced by a strong interest in all the new things in front of him.
Xue Qingyin asked: "Can I play?"
King Xuan nodded slightly: "Of course you can."
There were a few palace attendants guarding the Qingsi Palace, and they hurriedly saluted King Xuan when they saw him.
Seeing Xue Qingyin rushing towards the arrow pot, the palace people did not dare to stop her.
Xue Qingyin randomly picked a bow and pulled it.
...Can't pull it open.
She chose over and over again, and finally chose the smallest one. This one was good and could be pulled.
She shot a few arrows randomly.
Although none of the arrows hit, Xue Qingyin was enjoying the game so much that she wanted to go back and ask the racecourse to make arrangements for it.
Xue Qingyin thought as she lowered her head to draw the arrow.
King Xuan held the back of her hand: "Stop playing."
"Um?"
"If you don't want your hands to hurt tomorrow."
When Xue Qingyin heard this, she immediately threw away her bow and arrow.
She almost forgot... If you have never played these before, it is easy to strain the muscles of your shoulders and arms.
"Then let's play something more relaxed." Xue Qingyin said wiltedly.
She turned around in a circle, and finally came to the side of the swing, pointing feebly: "It seems that this is the only place I'm suitable for."
When King Xuan heard the sound, the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch upward.
Xue Qingyin sat on it, kicked her legs, and the swing began to sway.
It's still not a bit of fun.
Xue Qingyin smacked her lips and suddenly felt dull.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly approached.
"Someone is coming." Xue Qingyin quickly stood up without thinking, and then looked at King Xuan's face, trying to tell who was coming through his expression.
The next moment, Xue Qingyin's doubts were answered very well.
"I heard from Xiuwen that you were in Qingsi Hall, why did you suddenly think of coming here?" The visitor's tone was brisk, completely different from the tone he used in the Lotus Garden that day.
Xue Qingyin was shocked.
It's the emperor!
King Xuan's voice rang in her ears: "Don't move."
Xue Qingyin really didn't move.
The emperor's footsteps also stopped abruptly.
An unspeakable silence suddenly filled the air.
Xue Qingyin couldn't help but tilted her head and looked curiously.
Look at this...
She and Prince Xuan were reflected on a cloth screen not far away.
The two figures overlapped, as if embracing each other.
It just so happened that what was embroidered on the screen was another picture of mandarin ducks embracing each other.
The emperor's voice sounded again, and he said calmly: "King Xuan." There was no hint of anger.
King Xuan responded, turned around and walked out to see the ceremony.
Xue Qingyin was left behind the screen and didn't know whether she should bend down to salute or not. She was panicked for a moment.
After all, he was facing the imperial power.
Who can avoid trembling in their calves?
Emperor Liang De said calmly: "I don't know which girl she is from? Why don't you dare to come out to see me?"
King Xuan said: "She is thin-skinned."
Emperor Liang De was silent for a moment.
Xue Qingyin always felt that this moment of silence was probably the emperor silently digesting the anger in his heart.
After silence, Emperor Liang De sighed suddenly and said: "I have never seen you behave like this. That's all, even if we don't meet, you should always tell me which family the girl is from. Otherwise, if you are not careful later,
If you point her out to someone else, what should you do?"
When Xue Qingyin heard this, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
You didn't ask for my name so you could deal with me, right?
King Xuan was still in no hurry and said: "Miss Xue family."
Emperor Liang De was not surprised at all. He said in a low voice, "I understand."
King Xuan bowed slightly and said, "I asked my father to work hard for his son."
Emperor Liang De laughed angrily: "It's not easy to get such a word from you." After saying that, he calmed down and said: "After a stick of incense, I still have to come to the palace banquet."
King Xuan should be.
Emperor Liang De didn't even look at Xue Qingyin behind the screen, turned around and left again.
That's it? It's over?
No other blame? Not even asking for the reason?
Xue Qingyin blinked, but for a moment she didn't have any sense of reality.
King Xuan was still standing outside the screen.
Xue Qingyin moved over cautiously. As soon as King Xuan turned around, he saw her sticking her head out from behind the screen.
So cute and tight.
"Are you still playing?" King Xuan asked her.
Xue Qingyin thought about it, anyway, King Xuan looked as motionless as a mountain. He was tall and could hold up the sky if it fell. So why should she panic?
So she nodded cheerfully: "Play."
King Xuan ordered people to take down the backgammon chess on the wall: "How about playing with this?"
Xue Qingyin was scared to play with him last time.
She said: "Let's roll the dice to compare. Just bet... eight taels of silver."
King Xuan: "...eight taels?"
With her temperament, why not bet bigger?
Xue Qingyin saw what he was thinking and said plausibly: "What if I lose? If it exceeds eight taels, I will be heartbroken. If I win, eight taels is small, but I will be happy with any amount of money falling from the sky."
King Xuan: "..."
But there is some truth in what Xue Qingyin said.
King Xuan played dice with her for a while.
In the end, Xue Qingyin won sixteen taels, and she stood up and said she didn't want to play anymore.
"Why? You have already won. If you continue to play, you will get more if you win. If you lose, you will only lose part of what you won." King Xuan raised his eyes and said.
"If you want to do something good, just accept it." Xue Qingyin narrowed her eyes happily, "I am very satisfied."
King Xuan then stood up and said, "Let's go to the palace banquet."
Xue Qingyin took two steps, but her face fell: "Are you still going?"
King Xuan seemed to have a smile on his face, and he said: "How about sitting over there?"
Xue Qingyin agreed.
Several strong men carried the familiar chariot to the front of Qingsi Hall again.
After Xue Qingyin sat on it, she realized... "What about His Highness?" she asked.
She was sitting alone, and those who didn't know thought she was more noble than King Xuan.
"I don't like this thing."
"Oh, okay."
Xue Qingyin sat comfortably, not afraid at all.
On the other side, when Xue Qinghe discovered that Xue Qingyin was missing, it had already been a while.
She couldn't help but panic, and tightly grabbed Qiu Xin's hand.
A strange palace maid came to greet them.
Xue Qinghe couldn't help but ask: "Where has my sister, Miss Xue, gone?"
The palace maid smiled and said, "This is not a girl's business."
Xue Qinghe had no choice but to shut up.
After the palace maid led them to the palace banquet and took their seats, Qiu Xin whispered: "Dogs look down on people."
What? Is she, Xue Qingyin, the only one who is noble? They all deserve to be punished?
Qiu Xin was muttering, and when she raised her eyes, she found Xue Qingyin coming in.
"Isn't the eldest lady going to have a private meeting with His Highness Prince Xuan?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
"How can this be nonsense? You saw it just now, so intimate..." Qiu Xin felt a lump of air in her chest.
That’s King Xuan!
She spat: "You dare to do this without your parents' orders to find a matchmaker... The eldest girl really doesn't have any respect at all! You can't tell which girl the current emperor will choose for King Xuan."
This is unspeakable.
I heard the eunuch raise his voice and say with a long tail: "The Emperor is here!"
Chapter completed!
