Chapter 17 The Call of the King of Chu
Qiu Yao was taken back to the room by two maids until the fifth watch, crawled on her own **, and sent the other two out of the room.
Master Xie is very skillful. Qiu Yao's back was scratched by a rattan whip, but there was no blood. The originally smooth back was like a pink bug, biting her back with a hot pain
It seems that the owner of this body was also beaten a lot. After Zhongqiu Yao learned from the mouth of the maid that he fainted, Master Xie had been furious with the arrogant little ghost. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Xie's crying and protecting the little boy, the little ghost would have been beaten.
Qiu Yao sneered in her heart, but she felt extremely sad, but in a month, she tasted all the suffering she had suffered in the past 20 years. This time travel is really not a human thing to do.
At first glance, Master Xie is a profiteer who cheats ordinary people. He is as refined as a monkey. He draws people without blood, and even saves medicine money. She didn't dare to use the medicine given by the mysterious man indiscriminately. Who knows if the man gave her a bottle of chronic poison to kill her mouth~
The place on her back was numb with pain, but it was itchy around the scars. Qiu Yao twisted uncomfortably, and as a result, she grinned with pain.
The door was knocked at this damn time. Qiu Yao buried her head in the middle of her arms and turned a deaf ear. Who knew that the two maids pushed the door in without responding.
Qiu Yao frowned unhappily but still didn't look up: "What's the matter?"
"It's a great thing. Just now, Jingfu sent a message, saying that the king was going to summon the girl." One of them answered happily. Another person hit her with his elbow.
"The girl is still injured at this time. Can you come back later?"
"It's a great honor to be summoned by the king. How can we ordinary women be excused..."
"Enough." Qiu Yao's urn interrupted the play between the two of them angrily, and she was as unhappy as she was. Mrs. Xie's ability is really high enough, "Go to the big basin of clear water, and then wait outside the door"
Originally, she wanted to treat the two people politely with the idea of equality, but now it seems that there is no need at all. People can always meet a maid who sincerely protects the Lord when they travels. Those two are sincere, but it's a pity that they are not for her.
It was not until she heard the sound of closing the door that she would raise her head, but she found that both sleeves were full of tears and washed her face carefully. Qiu Yao gritted her teeth and changed her clothes and walked to the dressing table.
After touching the long hair that fell on her chest, she remembered that she took the hairband to tie the lamp last night. The movements in her hands were slightly stagnant, and Qiu Yao inexplicably made a grimace at herself in the mirror.
She didn't have any powder, but since the last time she sent her back home, Mrs. Xie asked someone to buy these luxuries the next day. Qiu Yao didn't want to use these things, but when she saw the person in the bronze mirror's face, her eyelids were swollen, thinking that her glory might bump into the king, so she had to apply it. The powder was smeared with a little rouge, and then he put a layer of powder around his eyes and took a ribbon to send it out the door.
The carriage bumped all the way, and Qiu Yao, who was injured on her back, was sweating profusely with pain. She couldn't help but scold the king of Chu for calling him. It was really the right time. The house leaked and it rained all night. It was really a disaster.
Walking out of the carriage, Qiu Yao saw the culprit who had been beaten at a glance.
Jingcha was dressed in a purple-gold dark-patterned cotton robe, with a jade belt, and his arms folded in front of his chest and stood at the door. The gentleman was sunny, with a handsome face like a bright star, exuding a kind of dignity and demeanor from the prince and aristocracy all over his body.
It's just a pair of black eyes like stars and a pair of gauze behind Qiu Yao's bangs, and the smile in them immediately disappeared.
"What's going on? It was fine yesterday morning. Jingchao quickly stepped forward and left the attendant to help Qiuyao get out of the carriage, but she found that her face was pale and sweating like rain, and a pair of heroic sword eyebrows were immediately twisted together.
"What's going on? It's not thanks to you. Qiu Yao smashed her mouth and accidentally found that the words were quite rhyming. She glanced at today's outfit, and remembered the clothes he usually wore when he went to Song Yu's house. His heart suddenly became cheerful, and the previous resentment disappeared a lot.
"What did I do?" Jingcha was confused, and then asked his entourage to introduce Qiu Yao to the west wing and ordered him to call Dr. Zhou.
"You..." Qiu Yao was depressed and simply ignored him, but she found that the maids around her looked at Jingcha with admiration, and she was even more unhappy.
The environment of Jingfu is beautiful, and the family of the family decorates the facade with Huawu, and with excellent and elegant rhyme as the main tone, that is, it does not lose the exquisiteness of the nobles of the clan, and there is also a kind of elegantness of scholarly family.
Qiu Yao's curiosity overcame the pain on her back and made her keep looking at the scenery around her, but she looked at her childish behavior with a funny look.
Her eyes accidentally met a white figure. Qiu Yao couldn't help but stop, and Jingcha stopped. Following his sight, she happened to see Song Yu walking and talking with the king of Chu. Her eyes fell on somewhere in front of her and did not look at her side.
Jingdi's eyes turned dark, and then he seemed to let people lead the way for Qiu Yao at will. He turned around and walked to the King of Chu. He arched his hand and bowed his head and said, "I just learned that Miss Xie was sick and couldn't see her. Please forgive me."
"Since you are not feeling well, that's all." Xiong Heng nodded, "Gu and Song Aiqing Zhengtian Fazhang returned to the capital to call the King of Qi. Jing Aiqing might as well talk about it."
"Yes" Jingcha immediately stood on the other side of Xiong Heng, so he did not see a glance not far away from Song Yuchao. "I heard that the prince originally fled to Juguo's pseudonym Taishi's family as a gardener."
"It's true that this happened. When Tian Fazhang was hidden in the Taishi family, he fell in love with the daughter of the Taishi family. As soon as he was set up as the king, he let the woman become the queen. Unexpectedly, when the Taishi family learned about their previous affair, they swore not to see their daughter again." Xiong Heng gossiped with interest, but he did not find the displeasure on the faces of the two people beside him.
"After the accession of King Xiang of Qi, he must recover the city that was captured by the State of Yan before. He is trying to recruit talents, and the queen helped the king of Qi restore politics, and the State of Qi all praised him."
"First, Zhong Wuyanpu helped King Xuan of Qi to retake the city, and then there was a tumor to help King Min of Qi defeat me, Jingchu, destroy the three Jin in the west, attack the strong Qin, help destroy Zhongshan, defeat the State of Song, and shake the sea. It's a pity that although the women here are outstanding, they are all ugly. And now the king of Qi Xiang has both beauty and Wang Zuo's talent, but if a monarch gets a wife like this, what can he ask for?" Xiong Heng looked enmuring and completely left behind the real intention of Jingchao's words.
"It is rumored that the former king once fell in love with the goddess of Wushan. He was so lonely that he was ready to leave for Hanzhong on a day, but he asked to meet the goddess." Xiong Heng stopped, put his hands behind him, and squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. The scene was so poor that he had to agree with him. However, Xiong Heng's next words made Song Jing and his heart sink.
"This trip to Zhouhou and others will also follow. I also invited Deng's apprentice Tangle to go with me. Tang Aiqing's words are very good. At that time, the two Aiqings can compete with him." Xiong Heng smiled happily, but the other two people were extremely uncomfortable.
"King Rong Lin, the army of the State of Qin now drives tigers and wolves to capture several cities in China all the way. Its momentum is extremely sharp. At present, the situation is grim, which is not a good opportunity to travel." Seeing that Jingqi's face was stiff and he wanted to object, Song Yu persuaded Xiong Heng first.
When Xiong Heng heard Song Yu's obstruction, he was unhappy but did not have a clear attack. He continued to laugh and said, "Song Aiqing naturally understands what he meant, but the ancestors sang and said, 'driving out, like writing about my worries'. 1 As the king of a country, he was deeply worried about the people of the State of Chu. The trip is to relieve his worries in his heart, and also to observe the feelings of the people along the road."
Seeing that the king of Chu calmly overturned the argument a few minutes ago, his face became more and more difficult to look, but when he saw Song Yu signaling him to agree for the time being, he was unwilling to say a few words.
