Chapter 188 On the Dragon Boat Festival, plan to mix out
When the sun shined the first light from the uneven glazed tiles at the top of the palace, Prince Zhao Qian had led Liu Caiping and many concubines to set out magnificently. Perhaps to avoid the limelight, the clothes they wear are different from usual. Although the overall dress is brilliant and elegant, it looks more like a rich son. Perhaps this is the best, showing only three points of preciousness, and the remaining seven points are covered up. It will neither be looked down on by ordinary people, nor will it lose the casual feeling of sharing happiness with the crowd because of its identity** and illustrience.
Xue Qianwu followed the end of the team and lowered his eyes, making himself in the attendant. When he got to the palace gate, Xue Qianwu originally thought that he would investigate it closely. Unexpectedly, he probably formed a convention. In previous years, nothing has been made at this time, and this year it has also been loosened. The gatekeeper sent the prince far away with a smile on his face, eliminating any inquiry and investigation.
Xue Qianwu inevitably felt a little panicked. He fell at the end and accidentally bumped into a person, who was the guard who returned.
When he was stunned, his heart jumped and screamed that it was not good. It's over. While waiting for the trouble of the bodyguard, he looked at her maliciously and smiled thievely: "The little girl is so beautiful! It's just too sloppy. I didn't pay attention to my feet when walking. I tripped and fell down carefully. It's a pity if it breaks! The girl must be a flying life. Don't forget to say some good words for your brother in front of the prince!"
Xue Qianwu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a flatterer. The guard dared to calculate that anyone who can go out of the palace with the prince is a high-ranking maid with a head and face, and there are many opportunities to get close to the prince. Maybe any one who climbs up the branch is a master-level person. Be prepared, dredge the relationship, and do a good job in advance. One day it is possible that fate will be favored and stop doing this hard work of guarding the palace gate.
Xue Qianwu smiled and said, "How can I forget the benefits of my brother?" After saying that, she went.
The doorkeeper didn't expect such a response and stayed there, watching the crowd pass away.
Xue Qianwu hasn't exercised for a long time and has never done heavy work in the palace. His feet can't catch up with the sedan chair and maid. Three steps and two steps, walking and running, didn't get dumped too far.
On the way, Xue Qianwu simply slowed down. Anyway, they were going to escape. They walked fast, left her behind, and found a shelter at will.
The plan couldn't keep up with the change. After a while, the attendant moved from the front to the back and rudely urged her, "Quickly!" If you rub it again, you will be whipped!"
Xue Qianwu was full of fire, and he was really unlucky. As soon as he used his crooked mind, he was stared at before he could put it into action. It seems that we can't be too isolated and conspicuous, and we have to continue to follow the team obediently.
Until the river, the entourage did not relax his attention on Xue Qianwu. Xue Qianwu only didn't look at him and kept an absolute low profile. She understood that the more she looked at him, the more likely she was to be caught, just like a student who wanted to cheat.
Looking up at the water, Xue Qianwu couldn't help feeling better. Green water is like a snake, and the waves are surging, like beads splashing jade, bottomless. Large and small flower dragon boats are like living dragons, bumping on the water waves. The happy children shouted, and the handsome men and women also infected the rare atmosphere of joy. They played and laughed. Some of the boudoirs actually got bare feet, bent down to hold the water, and sprinkled happily into the distance. People with water spots on their bodies are not angry. They just regard it as auspicious signs and can dispel disasters and diseases.
When I was looking at it with envy, I suddenly heard Zhao Qian shout, "Du Zhuo, go over there and pick the biggest dragon boat!"
Xue Qianwu's heart tightened for fear that he would see it. But he saw the follower who was just staring at him and dodged away. Xue Qianwu said happily, God helped me, and the follower finally left.
If you don't escape at this time, when will you wait? He deliberately stood on the periphery and slipped away while Du Zhuo was busy commanding everyone to board the boat.
In a long time, Du Zhuo has led a young and burly helmsman to drive a luxurious and huge flower dragon boat. When the helmsman saw such scenes, he already knew that he was rich or noble. He met respectfully and said with a smile, "Son, you are so lucky. There is no better dragon boat on the whole water than me!"
Zhao Qian did not answer, asked someone to pay the money and went straight to the dragon boat. Liu Cai, the princess, followed timidly and held the prince's arm: "My concubine is dizzy."
Zhao Qian casually replied, "Let the maid hold on."
Liu Cai's eyes are full of waves, more tender than water: "With the prince around, I am not afraid."
Zhao Qian smiled and said nothing and stopped her. Then came one after another / Jiao / cry: "Prince, my concubine is seasick!" Prince, my concubine fainted!" Prince, I will feel dizzy as soon as I can't see you!"
Xue Qianwu saw that Zhao Qian was entangled by the beauties and was exhausted. During Du Zhuo's mediation, he was busy placing Zhufang. So he withdrew his right foot, which was about to be lifted into the boat, turned around and sank into the crowd. After walking a hundred steps away, when he was sure that he would not be recognized, he looked at the boat for the last time.
Under this view, my heartbeat slowed down. I saw a long woman standing in the bow of the boat and staring this way. Because it is far away, I can't see the woman's appearance, but her body is very similar to silk. Judging from her posture, she has been watching Xue Qianwu for a long time.
Xue Qianwu prayed that the woman was Si Luan. As her former good sister, she should help.
When my mind was tossing and turning, I heard a clear cry: "Brother Qian! Sister-in-law Liu!"
Xue Qianwu looked over and his heart suddenly became cold. Princess Sucome took Dongfang's arm and came happily. The people coming and going overlapped in front of Xue Qianwu's eyes, cutting her eyes so that she could not see the face and look of Dongfang Ye. However, the long and majestic figure seems to be a little weak and heavy.
Xue Qianwu couldn't walk, avoided the crowd, and sat down in a few lush vines. Looking at Prince Zhao Dongfang, who was greeting, tears flowed bitterly into his mouth, saying that it was salty and astringent.
In fact, the vines hidden by Xue Qianwu are not far from the dragon boat. It's just that I put myself in the dark due to the advantages of terrain and grass.
She should have gone far away, but she really couldn't walk. First, because I have walked quite a long way and I am not physically exhausted; secondly, I am even more frustrated when I see Master Dongfang, and I can't wait to die here. I am no longer sad, and I don't care whether others are sad or not.
The dragon boat dances and is brilliantly embroidered. The sound of boxing and drinking came from the boat, which was very lively, but Xue Qianwu's world was very quiet and pale.
I don't know how long it took for the food to come out, and Xue Qianwu felt hungry. He licked his lips and decided to look for something to eat.
Stand up and dazzle in front of your eyes. The soles of his feet softened and squatted back in place.
Are you going to starve to death again? Xue Qianwu remembered how ambitious and fighting spirit he was when he left the palace all the way. But now, everything is extinguished with the passing of happiness.
Master Dongfang's voice poured into her ears faintly from the boat: "The princess is drunk. Help her to rest."
The princess muttered in a daze: "I'm not drunk... I still want to drink... I'm so full... I want to doze off..."
Xue Qianwu laughed at himself. The so-called happy life is such a day when he is full of wine and food and accompanied by his husband.
The sound of touching the cup became more and more scattered, and the laughter became weaker and weaker. Finally, Zhao Qian smiled and said, "A ship of sober people, now there are only two of us left."
Master Dongfang said in a "um" voice and said indifferently, "Why don't you see her coming with me?"
Zhao Qian was slightly stunned. Xue Qianwu's tired mind was mentioned at that moment. Is Master Dongfang asking me?
Zhao Qian quickly became calm and said calmly, "She got cold. The doctor told her to have a good rest and not run around in the wind."
"Is it serious?" Master Dongfang continued to ask.
Zhao Qian shook his head: "Don't be tight... just take more rest."
Master Dongfang was silent for a moment and said calmly, "Isn't it really serious? I think she will definitely follow you out of the palace according to her lively temperament.
Zhao Qian picked up a chopstick peanut and chewed it like grinding his teeth, as if he didn't want to tell the truth. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly and solemnly replied, "Since you ask, just say it directly. I told her that you will come today... She probably doesn't want to see you, so she won't come..."
Master Dongfang laughed twice and drank up the full glass of wine in his hand: "So it is."
Xue Qianwu listened to the conversation between the two men and suddenly felt ridiculous. Prince Zhao is ridiculous. Needless to say, the key is that she can laugh herself, and Master Dongfang can also laugh.
Zhao Qian fiddled with the cup for a while and pretended to be generous: "What does Dongfang brother have to say to her?"
Master Dongfang paused, looked up and poured a bowl of wine, shook his hand and said, "No more. As long as she is fine.
Xue Qianwu's tears fell down. But she is not sad, and she can't say why.
Zhao Qian's intermittent persuasion came from the boat: "Dongfang brother, don't drink! If you drink more, you won't be able to go home!"
Master Dongfang waved his hands** and said, "Home? By the way! I want to go home! There is her home!"
Zhao Qian saw that the situation was not good and walked out of the boat. Master Dongfang's bodyguard appeared to wait for a long time and said, "Prince!"
Zhao Qianxi said, "As long as you come!" Your father has drunk too much, take him back home!"
The bodyguard hesitated and said, "Then... what about the princess?"
"Kou'er..." Zhao Qian thought, "She just went to the palace with the prince."
Xue Qianwu looked at the drunken Oriental master on the bodyguard's back. It's time to go. When he went far away, she went against the road and left here.
After the bodyguard walked away with Dongfang Ye on his back, Si Luan opened his eyes in confusion, saw the prince, and shook his head. It seems to wake up a sense of dream.
Zhao Qian didn't look at her, but said leisurely, "Finally, someone woke up."
Si Luan stood up, walked two circles in a hurry, suddenly beat his head, and shouted in panic: "Prince! The slave maidservant is really guilty of drinking! I just remembered that there is an important thing to report to you! At that time, the maidservant saw a man who was very similar to the beggar girl in Ganlin Courtyard!"
"What did you say!" Zhao Qian grabbed Silan's wrist: "Say it again! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Si Luan cried and said, "I watched her escape from the team. I wanted to tell the prince in time, but I couldn't be sure it was a beggar girl... It happened that Master Dongfang and the princess came. I was worried that in case of saying something, Dongfang would be ugly! I just look forward to letting you know when Master Dongfang is gone! I didn't expect it to be so powerful..."
Zhao Qian couldn't talk to her anymore and said impatiently, "Where has she gone?" I'll go find her!"
Si Luan hugged his arm and cried, "Prince, don't look for it! I don't know how far she has gone. What if you go to find her and the sisters in the boat wake up?
Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "One by one, give them sobering soup!" Then let the entourage take it back to the palace! If anyone asks, just say that the prince is going out to do something!"
Si Luan didn't dare to say anything more and pointed the direction to Zhao Qian. At the same time, a trace of cunning and joy flashed in her eyes. Should she escape far away?
I just hope that the prince can't find her. This can not only prevent her from staying in the palace to share favor, but also miss the sight of the Oriental Master. Naturally, the princess will not blame her. Compared with the worst situation, the prince has nothing to say. After such a long delay, what can the prince do to look for it, but he just did some futile useless work.
Si Luan snorted shallowly, and the best ending was that the beggar left alone. Otherwise, the future will be long and troublesome enough.
