There was a slight wheezing sound from under the seat.
Ji Ling was startled. Just as she was about to look down, a small furry thing had emerged from under the seat. Smelling her scent, it kept tugging at her calf affectionately.
Ji Ling took a closer look, wasn't this a unicorn?
She was surprised and happy, stretched out her hand to hold Qilin's belly, fished it up, held it in her arms and kissed its little head hard, then said: "Little Qilin, why are you here!"
There was a little bit of sawdust on the down on Qilin's face, which must have been the wood shavings brought down from under the sedan chair.
Ji Ling reached out and helped it carefully pull it off.
Qilin remained motionless and obediently let Ji Ling hold him. A pair of big watery eyes, like a pair of black sesame pancakes, stared at Ji Ling without blinking. On his fat butt, there was a furry tail.
Keep shaking happily.
When Ji Ling finished pulling out the wood chips for Qilin, as soon as he put down his hand, Qilin immediately jumped into Ji Ling's arms happily, with a very excited expression.
Qixi heard her master smile and looked into the sedan in surprise.
Just as Qilin was jumping lively on Ji Ling's knees again, its furry little head came out of the sedan window, Qixi was caught off guard and bumped into it face to face. The man and the dog looked at each other, and Qixi smiled subconsciously.
"Yo!" said.
Xiao Chenzi was originally accompanying the sedan chair. He glanced back and stepped forward with full stride. When he reached the window of the Jiling sedan chair behind him, he smiled and said: "My lord, this is a reward from the emperor. The emperor has said that, since your lord,
If I like the unicorn, I asked my servant to find a little dog to carry it, put it in this sedan chair, and send it to the noble man together!"
Ji Ling raised his hand and rubbed Ji Ling's furry little head, took it down from the window, and said with a smile: "Will you give the Qilin to me in the future?"
Xiao Chenzi paused with a smile, raised his finger and pointed at Qilin, raised his eyebrows and said: "My lord, Qilin is really destined to you! You should have known about it when you were in Yanxi Hall some time ago. It has such a lively temper! Xiao Chenzi
The dog couldn't keep his eyes on it for a moment, and it ran all over the ground. But just now... the slave sent it here from the Yangxin Hall..."
He made exaggerated gestures with his hands, grinned and said to Ji Ling: "It seems to know that the slave is taking it to pick up the noble lady! Along the way, it just didn't bother to make any movement, so that the slave can
Don’t worry! The slave was really wondering if it had escaped secretly along the way, so he lifted up the sedan curtain and checked it several times!
The nobleman has only been away from Yanxi Hall for two days, and the unicorn has been unhappy all day long, wandering around the entrance of Yanxi Hall! Even the emperor said that this unicorn is destined to belong to the nobleman!"
Ji Ling listened with a smile, suddenly thought of something, and asked Xiao Chenzi: "It is a royal dog, very valuable. The emperor said it last time, and there is a lot of care in raising it!"
Isn't that right? The last time she was in Yanxi Hall, Yin asked her if she liked Qilin. If she did, he would give her the royal dog and a eunuch who would serve the dog.
But she didn't want new people, so the matter was shelved and never discussed.
Xiao Chenzi smiled confidently and said: "Your Majesty, you have thought carefully! The emperor also ordered your Majesty to pick a clever person from his yard tomorrow and send him to the Yangxin Palace to learn from Xiao Gouzi in detail.
This sect that serves royal dogs will be dedicated to taking care of Qilin when they leave the army."
The palace road was deep and long. As he passed several palace gates, Ji Ling could vaguely hear the movement inside. They were probably concubines coming back from the imperial garden. They were walking slowly on the road. They just got off the carriage and entered the palace gate.
Will rest.
There were also those who were walking together on the road, such as Chang Zai and Zheng Zai. Hearing the movement behind them, they didn't know which lady's sedan it was, so they quickly moved to the side of the road and bent down to see it off.
When the sedan chair was far away, someone recognized the eunuch from Yangxin Palace who was following the sedan chair.
A few bold people couldn't help but get together and point at the sedan chair as it went away.
Ji Ling was sitting in the sedan, swaying and feeling very comfortable. She concentrated on playing with Qilin for a while. Suddenly, she heard Qixi outside the sedan, with a bit of doubt in her voice, and asked earnestly: "Xiao Chenzi, what's going on here?"
Where are you going?"
After hearing this, Ji Ling sat up straight, opened the curtain, and took a look outside. He happened to pass by a palace and saw a plaque hanging on the main entrance with the words "Xianfu Palace" written on it.
Have you all arrived at Xianfu Palace?
That's not right... Jingyang Palace is at the east end of the Six East Palaces, and Xianfu Palace is already at the west end of the Six West Palaces. The direction is completely opposite.
"Xiao Chenzi, this...isn't the way back to Jingyang Palace." Ji Ling said, put Qilin down and slapped it on the butt. Qilin turned around obediently and jumped from Ji Ling's lap.
I got down, found a comfortable position under the seat, and lay down.
She looked at Xiao Chenzi and asked, "Where does the emperor want to send me?"
Indeed, Xiao Chenzi just said that the emperor would reward her with a sedan chair, but he did not say that he would send her back to Jingyang Palace!
Xiao Chenzi lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "The emperor asked his servant to pick up the noble man and go to Yuhua Pavilion."
Ji Ling blinked and asked Xiao Chenzi: "Yuhua Pavilion? Where is it?"
Xiao Chenzi bowed and said with a smile: "Yuhua Pavilion is very close to the Emperor's Yangxin Hall, but it has to go out of the West Sixth Palace. For ladies in the harem, if you haven't been there, it's no wonder that the nobles don't know, they are just slaves. Go
The number of times can be counted on one hand."
He paused and then whispered: "Your Majesty came to pick up the nobleman in a sedan chair. Firstly, he felt sorry that the nobleman's injury has not fully recovered. Secondly, the Yuhua Pavilion is indeed far away from the West Sixth Palace."
After passing the Changchun Palace of Concubine Qi, at Xiao Chenzi's signal, the sedan turned to the southwest, and immediately you could see a deep and long alley. There were slight weeds on the road, and the walls on both sides were peeling off. Behind it
A wall can be seen faintly.
Xiao Chenzi signaled the eunuch carrying the sedan chair to take a shortcut to the north. After walking for about a cup of tea, the sedan chair finally stopped.
Ji Ling felt that the sedan was lowered, and Qixi came forward. Before he could reach out, Xiao Chenzi had already opened the curtain of the sedan with a quick movement, and said with a smile: "I am waiting for you to get out of the sedan. Your Majesty, please come here!"
Qixi came forward and held Ji Ling's arm. Xiao Chenzi took a slight step back and pointed to the road. When Ji Ling raised his head, he saw a small black door in front of him. The two eunuchs guarding the door had just seen the sedan coming.
, had been groping around his waist for a long time, and took out the key. At this time, he opened the door with shaking hands and knelt on the ground to greet him.
Qilin followed Ji Ling, jumped down from the sedan chair, and kept circling around Ji Ling's feet.
Xiao Chenzi scooped it up and said repeatedly: "Little Ancestor Qilin, you can't go in!"
The small door creaked as the two eunuchs who were guarding the door pushed it apart slowly. Qixi supported Ji Ling and stood at the door. Both the master and the servant looked up at the door.
