empress and princess

It rained suddenly and kept falling. Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, Qin Jiufeng stood anxiously at the gate of the palace and muttered to himself: "Why haven't you come back yet? Why is this girl so disobedient? She has been talking for half an hour, no way!" ,no……"

Before Yu Yin fell, he had already rushed out, and the attendant was so scared that he chased after him and shouted: "My lord, slow down, umbrella!"

He was so anxious that he even forgot to hold the umbrella. Qin Jiufeng heard it from a distance and hurried back, grabbed the umbrella and rushed out again.

……

However, before Qin Jiufeng could find someone, the two of them had become 'drenched chickens'.

This period of running in the rain was not long, and I quickly found a roof to hide from the rain. At this time, my hair was wet and messy, and my clothes were soaked.

It wasn't until entering the hot water bucket that Chu Huaimin regained his senses.

She leaned against the edge and closed her eyes. She wanted to close her eyes and rest her mind, but the scene of being led by Qin Jihuang to run around was lingering back and forth in her mind. Qin Jihuang covered most of her head with her coat, and she was wet After a thorough investigation, the appearance is even uglier than her, which is a little funny and a little helpless when I think about it.

And there were people chattering outside the screen, making her unable to be quiet.

Since there was only one upper room left in the inn, the two had no choice but to make do with it, and they could only endure being quarreled by Qin Jihuang.

Chu Huaimin was speechless, occasionally there was the sound of dripping water.

"Hey, are you okay?" Qin Tangjing tapped the screen after a while.

After a while, two words came: "Not dead."

"Oh." Qin Tangjing has long been used to Chu Huaimin's indifferent tone of refusal, and there is nothing to be angry about putting a hot face on a cold buttocks, leaning over and sitting in the bucket, muttering: "It's fine if you don't die, I'm really afraid that you will die there Nobody knows."

The other party was still speechless, Qin Tangjing had nothing to say when he was idle, and after a few words, he felt that he was boring himself and stopped talking.

The eldest princess has always been very proud, how could she bother with a 'little person' like her?

The barrel was steaming hot, and she relaxed all over. Qin Tangjing didn't care about the eldest princess, and yawned in comfort.

After removing the moisture from the screen, Chu Huaimin got up and picked up the towel to clean himself. The fair skin that had been warmed by the hot water was glowing with a faint reddish pink. She had a slender waist and a pair of slender legs stepped out of the bucket. Bring out a few drops of water to slowly smudge the floor.

Changed into a simple plain shirt. After changing, there was no movement from the next door. Chu Huaimin raised his finger and tapped on the screen, but there was no response for a long time.

She stood and thought for a while, then walked out of the inner screen holding her breath and came out of the screen. She saw Qin Tangjing's faded wet clothes on the side table, and heard the sound of even breathing clearly. Nodding off guard.

Not long after Qin Tangjing woke up, she raised her eyelids slightly, and whispered habitually: "Come here, change the clothes for the lonely king."

Just because of a familiar remark, Qin Tangjing suddenly woke up and opened his eyes. After getting up from the bucket, he was fortunate to find that there was no one in the room, that is, Chu Huaimin was not there and did not reveal his identity.

"Why did you fall asleep after talking about it?" Because of this matter, Qin Tangjing was very annoyed, and sat at the table to review himself.

Because she seldom relaxes like this on weekdays, even in the Qin Palace, she sleeps very lightly, and she will notice any disturbance, let alone in a small inn in a foreign country.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Qin Tangjing packed her things and was about to go out, but there was a knock on the door suddenly, she went to see Chu Huaimin as soon as she opened it.

"I thought you weren't awake." Chu Huaimin looked indifferent.

Qin Tangjing looked at her, and then looked down at the things in her hands.

"what is this?"

"Ginger tea."

"Then this?" She frowned.There is a strange smell when you smell it carefully.

"Incense, Xiaoer gave it, said it can promote sleepiness, and there is also in the room."

"We don't stay overnight, what kind of incense?" She almost revealed the secret.

Chu Huaimin was expressionless, and he picked up the tea bowl and handed it to her: "Drink it to dispel cold and dampness."

The smell was also unpleasant, Qin Tangjing looked disgusted, seeing her so reluctant, Chu Huaimin said the truth: "No poison."

Qin Tangjing was not a mean person. He knew Chu Huaimin's good intentions in his heart, so he simply raised his hand, pinched his nose and drank it. His throat immediately felt hot, and his stomach was warm when he entered it.

Putting the empty bowl back, Qin Tangjing wiped his mouth and asked Chu Huaimin casually, "Have you drank?"

"Ah."

"Drenched in the rain for so long, do you have any discomfort?"

"No." Chu Huaimin said slowly, "The rain has stopped, we should go."

Qin Tangjing was thinking about this, and nodded: "You said you have been out for so long, will your brother be in a hurry to send someone out of the palace to look for you?" After a pause, thinking of the little emperor, she said again, "When Disturbing people in the city from time to time is a serious crime, and we have to go back before dark."

As she said that, there was a trace of anxiety on her face, and Chu Huaimin saw it, she turned her head to look at the sky, and the gray light shone into her eyes, as if there was a glimmer of undetectable strange light.

"The Ninth Prince is waiting for you below." Then Chu Huaimin told her.

Hearing this, Qin Tangjing was stunned for a moment, and realized that he hurriedly went downstairs. Before he saw the figure of Little Huangshu, he saw a hand screwing her ear at an invisible speed. Little Huangshu said angrily: " How many times have I told you to come back on time, and you are not allowed to stay outside, it will make me hard to find!"

Qin Tangjing felt guilty and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I didn't know it would rain heavily, little emperor, please be gentle, I know I'm wrong!"

"Every time I know I was wrong, and every time I die without repentance, you want to scare your little uncle to death, right? Do you think you should hit me or not!"

"I'm not a child anymore, you are not allowed to hit me..."

"In the eyes of your little uncle, you will always be a child!"

"That's not why you hit me..."

"Do you still need a reason to hit you?"

Since the emperor's niece came to the throne, Qin Jiufeng has always been respectful, but he was really angry with the emperor's niece, and he went back to the past in an instant, and gave him a lesson just like the emperor's niece was disobedient when she was a child.

The small inn was full of people watching the fun, Chu Huaimin didn't want to disturb their "uncles and nephews", so he left through the back door.

"Princess, the escort came late." Chen Hao stepped forward to apologize.

"It's okay, I'm fine. How about the King?"

Chen Hao's face darkened: "Your Majesty lost his temper today and smashed the Feiyun Hall."

"Why?"

"Not long after you dealt with Deng Qi, Dr. Zhou immediately went to the palace to meet the king. I'm afraid... he said something bad in front of the king and made the king angry."

"That's all Dr. Zhou is capable of." Chu Huaimin walked steadily, with deep eyes.

It was all expected, but it was extremely ironic to be slandered in the back by her own courtiers, but what was even more ironic was that her imperial brother had an emotional reaction, which meant that his patience was stabbed.

Chen Hao sighed: "I hope the king... will have more trust."

Trust is not just words, but it is reflected in everything and every detail.When it comes to trust, the brother and sister are dubious, no one will fully trust, only trust themselves.

It was dark, and the evening breeze was cool, so the sedan chair got up and went to the palace.

Chu Huaimin raised the curtain and glanced at the inn, looking back at the palace shrouded in darkness, it was exquisite and splendid, yet oppressive and dull, just like the drowsy night that day.

"Father..."

"Father will definitely get better, Chu Kingdom cannot live without father."

"Stupid child, father knows best about father's body and son." That night, when the former king of Chu was lying on the bed and was dying, he lamented, "If my father's Min'er was a man, why worry about the great prosperity of the state of Chu and the disunity of the world, God has no mercy on me."

"As long as the father is in good health, the father will definitely unify the world!"

The former king of Chu narrowed his eyes and smiled weakly: "This is the wish of the father in his life. Unfortunately, the father is not strong enough to fight the world, and he will never see the day when he will rule the world."

"Father..." She broke down in tears.

"Your mother passed away early, leaving only you and your emperor brother. There is only one son in this lonely life, but your emperor brother is unbelievable and impatient. Without the talent of a king, he can't become a great weapon. The future of Chu State, How can I rest assured that I will hand it over to him."

"Min'er, you are talented and intelligent, and you are more suitable for this position than your royal brother, but how can you deal with it as a daughter? I am afraid that you will suffer, and I dare not act against the sky. I only hope that you will help your royal brother more in the future." , to protect the Chu State from overthrow."

"Gu knows that Min'er has a heart for the common people and has great ambitions. Sometimes Gu wonders whether the lonely Min'er will achieve great things."

King Chu Xian held his daughter's hand tightly, sat up with difficulty and stroked his daughter's head, his eyes full of doting: "Min'er will not cry, Min'er will marry a good son-in-law when he grows up, and live a peaceful life."

His eyes became dim, and King Chu Xian gently wiped away his daughter's tears, and said with a wry smile, "I can't let you go alone. From now on, you brother and sister will depend on each other for life."

His breathing became weaker and weaker, and King Chu Xian finally couldn't hold on, and fell into his daughter's arms.

"Don't be afraid, Min'er, I am alone under the Nine Springs to bless you."

"Min'er, the entire state of Chu... depends on you." The moment he closed his eyes, the former king of Chu said intermittently: "Min'er, if... if that day really comes, you will be like Qin's reform... to replace it." .”

The curtain fell suddenly, covering everything.

A faint voice came from the alley: "The Zhou family can't stay."

After a while, "This... you have kept the Zhou family, if we act rashly, will it arouse the king's suspicion?"

"Stay long enough."

At least, plan ahead and make double preparations to protect the safety of Chu.

At this moment in the inn, the uncles and nephews were ashamed after the fight.

"The eldest princess's heart is just a stone. You can't cover it no matter how hot you are. Give up. You won't tell you when she leaves." Qin Jiufeng straightened her robe and patted away the hand that was extended out with malicious intentions. "We will leave tomorrow If you want compensation, you will return home."

Qin Tangjing disagreed, and grabbed Xiaohuangshu and smiled at her: "Little Huangshu, your heart is also made of stone."

"I'm your little uncle, it's different!"

"Yes, yes, yes," Qin Tang flattered her head skillfully, "My little uncle treats me the best, not even the queen mother."

Qin Jiufeng smiled angrily: "Your mother is your mother, she has no conscience, and your mother is the one who treats you best." "The same, all are equally good."

"Look at you, what does it look like to visit Chu State? You..."

It was someone like Qin Jihuang who was talking about her nose and face, and she answered the words very naturally: "I am like Little Huangshu."

Qin Jiufeng choked.

Qin Tangjing turned his head and asked the attendant, "Do we look alike?"

"Like." The attendant replied, "It's almost carved out of the same mold."

"Uncle Xiaohuang, did you hear that?" Qin Tangjing lay on Qin Jiufeng's shoulders, with the tails of his eyes slightly bent, and smiled wickedly, "If I didn't have a mother, everyone would think you gave birth to me."

She was afraid that the emperor's niece was not serious. Qin Jiufeng's ears turned red, and she got up solemnly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm going back."

Of course, there is a follow-up: "However, we must return to China within five days."
