Chapter 242: The Essence Wants to Cover Up and Face Difficulties
At the beginning of the day, Chi Su was talking to Qin Meijun at the east corner gate of Tong'an Palace.
"Don't be too sentimental. No one can decide whether to live or die." Chi Su comforted the red-eyed Qin Meijun, "Your mother must be relieved to know that you are here with the Dowager Empress."
Qin Meijun's mother passed away in exile in Jiangzhou, and it took three or four months for the news to come in.
Chi Su heard about it and stopped by to comfort her.
On the one hand, the two people had been in contact before entering the palace, and on the other hand, they now feel sympathy for each other.
"I know, I cried in the quilt all night last night. When I got up early, Aunt Ningcui specifically asked me not to go to the concubine's room for the next two days, which is considered to be considerate of me."
"That's good, the concubine is kind-hearted, and the people in this palace are also kind." Chi Su patted her hand, "You are a contented person, so you are the most suitable here."
"Don't be too scared. You only think about mother and daughter. She gave birth to me and I couldn't fulfill my filial piety at all..." Qin Meijun choked up again when she said this.
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but now you have to think more broadly. It's not that you can't fulfill your filial piety, it's just that you can't help yourself." Chi Su also thought of his parents, "We are all the same.
”
"It's all my fault for making you sad." Qin Meijun was very apologetic, "Thank you for still thinking of me."
"Don't say such things to outsiders. Take good care of yourself. No one can predict what will happen in the future, but you have to live well." Chi Su smiled, "I came to give something to the concubine on the advice of our empress.
, then I’ll go in first.”
"Go quickly! I've been delaying you for a long time. Come and sit in my room when you're not busy." Qin Meijun said hurriedly, "I'm not very familiar with Miss Xue, but she is close to you. If she is willing, she can
I can come with you."
"That girl is very withdrawn, so you don't need to pay attention to her." Chi Su said, "But her heart is not bad, she is just used to being cold."
Chi Su delivered the things, and Concubine Rong sent someone out to get a jar of white tea: "This is what Concubine Tai concubine asked Concubine Fu to bring over. Please take it back, girl."
Chi Su knew that Concubine Fu also liked drinking white tea, so she thanked her and left.
When walking back, I met the Sixth Prince hurriedly passing by with his entourage.
Chi Su stepped aside, lowered his head, and whispered greetings.
The Sixth Prince had already walked past, but suddenly he stopped again, took a few steps back, raised his head and looked carefully, and said with a smile: "So it's you!"
Chi Su had no choice but to raise her voice and say goodbye again.
"I know that you are a maid in Concubine Fu's palace, and I also know that you are Chi Zhengkang's daughter.
Your Chi family is proficient in horseback riding and archery, both men and women. I once saw your eldest brother's ability to hide under a horse, but I wonder if you can do it?" The sixth prince seemed to want to drag Chi Su to the racecourse immediately.
"My slave doesn't know how to do it," Chi Su refused. "It takes less than ten years of practice to hide under a horse's belly. My slave can only ride a horse. It doesn't count as having any riding skills."
"I know you are deliberately being modest. Last time you only wandered around the racecourse twice, I could see that you were not just an ordinary person." The sixth prince was naive. He didn't even think as much as Chi Su thought. "
Otherwise, you and I can race each other for two laps."
Chi Sujian couldn't get rid of it for a while, and he couldn't speak too forcefully. After all, there was a difference between superiority and inferiority, so he had to say: "Thank you to the Sixth Prince for your appreciation, but I have something to do today, so I won't accompany you for now."
As she was about to leave, the Sixth Prince pulled her from behind in desperation.
The tea can in Chi Su's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Oh, I was really careless." The Sixth Prince didn't expect it, "It's already broken anyway, so just throw it away."
Chi Su felt bitter in her heart: "Sixth Prince, you are really rich and powerful. The concubine asked the slaves to take this thing back to our empress. I broke it in the middle, so I can't give it to you."
"That's right, this thing isn't worth much." The Sixth Prince smiled, "I can get you several cans later. But, you have to promise me one thing, otherwise I'll walk away."
Chi Su could only sigh in her heart, wondering why this sixth prince was like a little kid who wouldn't grow up.
But there is no other way, she has to do the job.
He happened to see the Sixth Prince's entourage carrying a bow and arrow on his back, so he said, "I can't go to the horse farm, but if the Sixth Prince insists on me showing my skills, I wonder if archery will be possible?"
"Sure, why not?" said the Sixth Prince, "I just don't know if you can draw this bow. Why don't you ask someone to get you a small bow?"
"Don't bother, this bow will do. Although I'm not satisfied with it, please just make sure it's accurate." Chi Su said and took the bow and arrow from the attendant.
A piece of mouse skin hangs from the top of a sugar maple tree two feet away, as if it has been drying for some time.
The owl probably caught the mouse, ate the internal organs and meat, and left the fur there.
"Slave, please try to shoot down that rat skin." Chi Su said, already lining up her bow and shooting an arrow. The moment she raised the bow and arrow, her whole person became brave and heroic, especially vivid.
"Little girl, can you make it? It's not that easy." said the entourage of the Sixth Prince.
Firstly, it’s not close, and secondly, it’s on the treetops.
What's more, it's windy at the moment, and the treetops are swaying constantly.
Chi Su didn't say anything at all, he just took aim and shot the arrow, only to hear a whooshing sound, and the rat skin fell down.
"Good archery skills!" The Sixth Prince couldn't help but clapped his hands, "You are really a woman, if you lead troops to fight, you can also be a female general!"
Chi Su put down his bow and arrow, and at the same time put away the previous light, and said in a panic: "Sixth Prince, thank you for your praise. I don't have that much ability, I'm just doing the same thing."
"You must know that there has been a female general in your family." The sixth prince said, "During the reign of Emperor Jiaying, the one who Ping Xifan was named the princess of."
How could Chi Su not know? In terms of seniority, she should be her aunt.
However, she still wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she did not answer the sixth prince's words and just said: "Your Highness, it's time for you to fulfill your promise to your slave, right? Please pay me a can of tea, I have to go back to pay for it!"
"Okay, okay, I'll pay you, I'll pay you," the Sixth Prince said repeatedly, "Bring me the two jars that the Dowager Empress gave me."
"One jar is enough." Chi Su said, "It will be difficult to deal with too many slaves."
When she took the tea and returned to Furong Palace, Xue Hengzhao asked her: "Why have you been here for so long?"
Because there were others present, Chi Su couldn't say much. He only said: "I saw Qin Meijun, comforted her for a few words, and then delayed."
