Chapter 31 Hiding
As soon as Si Fu went out on his front foot, there was movement outside the hall door on his back foot. Rong JIan thought it couldn't be so fast.
As soon as she put down her pen, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, Aunt Zhou walked in, she didn't even have time to take off her cloak, her face was covered with fine sweat, she hurriedly grabbed Rong Jian for a closer look: "Your Highness scared me to death."
Rong Jian said: "Auntie, don't worry."
Of course Aunt Zhou was anxious.In the afternoon, she was busy with other things, and suddenly heard that something serious happened to the princess and Mr. Xu, and she was taken down by the guards, and even the Empress Dowager moved away.The Liuguan Pavilion did not allow outsiders to enter, so she had to ask someone to inquire about the current situation, what happened at that time, and whether the princess was injured.The specific situation, except for the guards at that time, no one knew, but some court ladies and eunuchs along the road saw Xu Yao who was being escorted, and they guessed wildly, and the rumors became more and more outrageous.
Rong Jian didn't intend to tell Aunt Zhou the whole thing, he explained a few words: "It's nothing serious. Xu Yao was drunk and made rude remarks. His Majesty bumped into him and punished him."
Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, Fang felt hot, took off her cloak, and asked, "Your Highness was offended by him, is there anything serious?"
Rong Jian smiled: "What can happen? Isn't it good now?"
When he said this, he vaguely felt strange that even an old man like Aunt Zhou who had been in the palace for a long time couldn't find out what happened in the Humble Garden during the day, where did Akino hear about it?
But after all, he didn't think about it deeply, Ming Ye was a bodyguard, maybe he got the news from his colleagues.
Aunt Zhou's face softened a bit, but she was already terrified, and now she was like a frightened bird, and she still couldn't let go of her heart: "Then Xu Yao is not a good person in the first place., just bumped into Si Fu, and he said that you have something to do with the Ming guard. There is something wrong with it in the middle of the night, do you want the Ming guard to help?"
Yes, in the middle of the night, he had to make up his homework.The most important thing is that it's not his fault. A few days ago, Mr. Qi posted occasionally, but he didn't mention it.As soon as came back tonight, received many questions.Is it appropriate to go to school tomorrow and hand out homework today?
Rong Jian said calmly: "When I came back, I received a post from Mr. Qi, saying that I have missed too many classes these days and I have to make up for it. But it is getting late, and I am very tired now. I am afraid I will have to stay up all night with the lights on.I can't finish my studies, so I want to ask Ming Guards for help."
However, Aunt Zhou is the kind of elder who is very indulgent to children. She only hates that she can't read and can't help, so she said repeatedly: "Your Highness is probably hungry. Since the guards are helping you, they should entertain you. My name isThe people in the kitchenette serve up some refreshments and hot tea."
Rong Jian opened it and continued to read the question, sighed several times facing the question, quite worried.
Rarely, Akeno entered the Hall of Changle through a door instead of a window.
The princess knelt on the floppy, instead of sitting on her own calf, his legs were spread apart.Akeno doesn't know where Rong Jian came from. In his memory, there is no place where people have such a sitting posture, and even the habit of holding a pen is quite different.Rong Jian is very familiar with that way of holding a pen, and may have used it for more than ten years before this.
Rong Jian hated complicated clothes, but he might have something urgent to do when he came back, so he didn't change clothes, but he also wore the clothes on his body in a more comfortable way.The gauze socks were not tied tightly, and the long and complicated gauze skirt was piled aside, as bright as clouds, revealing some very white calves and thin ankles.
It's as if you can reach out and hold it.
Ming Ye looked away, maybe he should remind Rong Jian to be more careful, but this is in his own bedroom, it seems that there is no need to be so strict.
Rong Jian doesn't belong here.
He got closer, until the figure landed on the slump, Rong Jian finally came back to his senses, his eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had been saved.
Akeno asked: "Is there any urgent matter for the minister to do, Your Highness?"
He lowered his head and glanced at the post written by Qi Zeqing on the case under the table, but with just one glance, he could see the general idea.
Of course it is to make up for homework.
In front of Aunt Zhou, Rong Jian behaved very naturally.But to open his mouth to Akeno, Rong Jian thought of the great truth about saints that he had said before, and it was a bit difficult to say.
He raised his head, trying to appear natural as much as possible, but the matter was urgent, so he compromised and said: "... Sir, can you help the students?"
His eyes were wet and looked very pitiful.
Akeno lowered his eyes, the crimson robe he was wearing was incompatible with such a quiet and elegant bedroom, as thick as blood flowing.
Perhaps in this world, except for Rong JIan, no one would be so defenseless against Ming Ye.
Ming Ye untied the Yanling Saber from his waist, picked up a pen, and said, "Yes."
Although there are many topics and the person in front of him is very powerful, Rong Jian felt that he could not give up completely, and Xianyu had to struggle to turn over. He opened the post, pushed it over, and asked: "This, 'Water, Fire, Metal, Wood,Tu and Gu Weixiu, how do you start the topic?"
Ming Ye only said a few or two sentences, and Rong Jian suddenly realized what he heard, and felt that he had fully understood, but when he mentioned the pen...
Akeno was looking at the remaining questions.
They were all today, which means that Qi Zeqing sent the post after hearing about Liuguan Pavilion.
So urgentโdo you have high hopes because you think long princess Rong JIan is a malleable talent?
After a while, Rong Jian put down his pen, stretched out his hand, waved it in front of Ming Ye, hesitantly said: "How about... Mister, please say a few more words."
Ming Ye raised his head, and saw that he had filled half the paper, even after writing, crossing out, and repeating again and again, he still couldn't write a sentence.
Rong Jian thought confidently, but he is really illiterate!Reading also pays attention to a step-by-step process. Mr. Qi's previous homework also taught him to understand Chinese characters, so why did he suddenly jump to the stage of writing.
Ming Ye looked at Rong Jian's face and couldn't help smiling: "I'll read it, Your Highness will write it."
Rong Jian nodded with a guilty conscience, although he had the same idea at the beginning, and something went wrong in the middle, but he finally got back on track.
Otherwise, even if Ming Ye finished talking about how to solve the problem and what allusions he listed, it would still be a big project to write it out according to his poor ability of collation in classical Chinese.
Rong JIan dipped the pen into the ink, and picked up the pen to write on the blank paper.
Ming Ye spoke at a moderate speed, and reported to Rong Jian sentence by sentence.
However, Rong Jian was not sure about traditional Chinese characters, and when he wrote by himself, he would pay attention to using familiar characters, but he would not know the uncommon characters reported by Mingye.
The result is that after writing for a long time, made a mistake and had to start all over again.
Rong Jian was a little discouraged, and with his chin resting on the table, he asked slowly, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Ming Ye looked at what he wrote, there were a few strange words in it, like gestures were missing, but according to the shape of the characters, he could guess the original meaning, in the previous notes, Rong Jian had written something like this.However, he will be very careful about the things to be handed over to the husband, and there will be no such omissions.
Mingye looked up, Rong JIan leaned his head on the table, his long earrings were hanging down the edge of the table, shaking with his movements.
Ming Ye said: "How come, His Highness is just not skilled."
Rong Jian still didn't get up, sometimes he didn't have such self-consciousness, thinking that he was still a male high school student after studying so hard, not a fully armed female tycoon.
Sure enough, without noticing for a moment, Rong Jian's earlobe was pierced by the pendant, it hurt so much, he frowned and let out a "ah".
Under the light, the dangling earrings shone brightly, looking very attractive.
Akeno was also inexplicably attracted, he said, "Do you want me to help His Highness take off the earrings?"
Rong Jian finally got up, he was startled, nodded, and said: "Then you have to be careful, my ears hurt a little."
How can a person without earrings know this kind of suffering.
Ming Ye stood up, walked to Rong Jian's side, bent down, his hands were cold, when he touched Rong Jian's earlobe, Rong Jian flinched unconsciously, trying to avoid it.
Others don't seem to have much feeling.
Ming Ye's voice sounded in his ears, and he said, "Okay."
Rong Jian turned his head and saw Ming Ye standing beside him, with his ear hanging on that person's palm.
Just as he was about to thank him, he suddenly heard Aunt Zhou deliberately loudly say: "Mother Chen, why did your old man come to Changle Hall so late?"
After a sound of chaos, the hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if they were about to break into the door.
Rong Jian panicked and said, "It's over, it's over!"
Why did Nanny Chen come here suddenly? She still looks like a robber.
He was like an ant on a hot pot, thinking that the Changle Palace's bedroom was so big that there was no place to hide people, it was really flashy.
Akeno watched from the side.Rong Jian seems to have forgotten that the most common way for them to meet is through the window, and Ming Ye can jump on a tree, but Rong Jian is a modern person's way of thinking, and the doors and windows are closed at this time, he panicked, thinking of Ming YeHow do adults hide it?
Although the wardrobe is large, it is divided into many layers.
The footsteps were getting closer and faster.
Seeing his own bed, Rong Jian finally woke up like a dream, dragged Ming Ye, pushed him onto the bed, and covered him with a quilt.
There was a day when Akino was manipulated like this.
At this moment, it is like a high school student secretly dating at home, and a parent suddenly returning home from a business trip, with nowhere to go, thinking about how to fool around.It's also like a lady of every family meets a scholar privately in a deep boudoir, and encounters a maid who breaks in the door.Rong JIan's mind was in a mess, thinking about what and what, this is the time, and he still has so many messy thoughts.
He and Akeno have a pure teacher-student relationship!
Rong Jian untied the curtain from the hook again, and warned: "You, don't talk, and don't make any noise."
After the curtains separated the inside and outside of the bed, Ming Ye finally had the real feeling that he was indeed hidden by Rong JIan.
He couldn't hold back his lips and smiled.
He lay there without moving, and there was a sweet osmanthus fragrance all over his body.
Rong Jian's bed is really soft, Akeno has never slept on such a soft bed.
After solving the most important matter, Rong Jian coughed lightly, cleared his throat, pretended to be nonchalant, and sat back on the soft side.
Chen Momo and her party seemed to have stopped at the door of the bedroom, she said solemnly: "Your Highness, this old slave is here on the order of the Empress Dowager, please accept the order."
Rong Jian said softly: "Come in."
Aunt Chen was followed by several aunts and aunts, and they walked in together. There was a big battle, no wonder Aunt Zhou was startled and almost failed to stop her.
Rong Jian didn't even look at them, and asked casually: "What's the matter? What's the rush to let the nuns break into the Changle Palace at night?"
Mother Chen respectfully said: "Slaves would not dare to trespass on one's own affairs. However, to act according to the order, His Highness's lamp has not been extinguished, so it has to be done."
She looked over at Rong Jian, and saw that the long princess was disheveled, her hair was disheveled, and her manners lacked dignity, which did not match the etiquette of a qualified royal princess, so she had a three-point smile on her face, but her words wereHe was not so polite: "Your Highness, although you are a noble person, you are honored by gold and jade, but you also represent the dignity of the royal family and are respected by all people. What the Empress Dowager means is that Your Highness has been too slack these days, and you have to learn etiquette again..โ
Of course, Mother Chen couldn't come to Changle Palace to find fault for no reason, she came here under the order of Empress Dowager.
After passing through the book, Xu Yao quickly entered the palace, Empress Dowager has been quite tolerant, stopped his copying of scriptures and daily etiquette, and even Chen Nanny didn't come here very often, but these are all for the sake of Rong JIan.In some free time, I can get "closer" with Xu Yao a lot.
But what happened today, no matter whether it was intentional or not, the result was that the Empress Dowager was greatly humiliated, and the emperor kicked her nose in the face. On the surface, she flattered and filial piety, but in fact she made a lot of cynicism.And for a long time in the future, it is impossible for her to call Xu's son Capital and marry Rong Jian again, after all, there is a treacherous person in front of her.
After returning to the Hall of Compassion, Empress Dowager recited the Buddha for a while, and called Mother Chen and a group of women, saying that she wanted to teach her granddaughter a lesson.
Even the princess is under his control.
Chen Momo continued: "Your Highness has gone to bed so early? The Empress Dowager said that women have to serve their parents, brothers and sisters-in-law during the day, and do female red embroidery at night. Your Highness, as an example for all people, should also..."
Rong JIan was so annoyed by what he heard, he interrupted Madam Chen: "The bedroom is not a place to talk, if Madam has so much to say, why don't you go outside with me to talk."
Nanny Chen was taken aback, feeling that Rong JIan had changed. No matter how much she said in the past, the long princess never refuted because of the empress dowager's face, and Rong JIan was obviously sitting on the soft couch, standing in front of him,But it seemed that he was being looked down upon.
She blessed the body: "Since Your Highness has said so, this old servant will dare not refuse."
Aunt Zhou also walked in, and stayed by Rong Jian's side.
Before leaving, Rong Jian casually picked up an earring on the table, held it in his hand, put on some clothes, and walked outside.
Halfway through the hour of the day, it was supposed to be time to rest, but the Changle Hall was brightly lit.
Standing by Rong Jian's side, Mother Chen said word by word: "The Empress Dowager has a decree, please copy two volumes of the scriptures today, and in the early morning of tomorrow, give less to the former emperor and the former prince to show filial piety."
Aunt Zhou couldn't help but said: "It's so late, Your Highness..."
Rong Jian raised his left hand, the pendant inlaid with silk and emeralds dangled between his fingers, which made his complexion extremely white, and even his demeanor was obviously delicate: "I have always known that Nanny Chen is the caring person of grandma, thisYizhi must have some deep meaning, so it's better to stand back and let the nanny explain more to the palace by herself."
Nanny Chen was about to refuse, but she heard Rong JIan's voice so softly that only herself and Aunt Zhou could hear it.
He said: "You might as well listen to what I say, there will be no harm."
He spoke so slowly, it didn't seem like he was threatening, but his words made Madam Chen's heart skip a beat.
Nanny Chen had no choice but to ask the rest of the people to resign first. She was the most trusted person around the Empress Dowager, and those nuns also resigned upon hearing this.
Rong Jian only looked at the earrings in his hand: "This Buddhist scriptures, I will not copy them. As for how you return to your life tomorrow, that is your business."
Chen Momo was taken aback, she didn't expect Rong Jian to say this, she said earnestly: "The princess has a noble status, but she should also be filial to the empress dowager..."
Rong Jian finally raised his head to look at her, but not at her, but at the wishful emerald hair on her temples, and said unhurriedly: "Nurse is very capable, this hair is presented to you by Governor Si'anThe annual ceremony in the palace was assigned to the Changle Palace, but now it is worn on the head of the mother."
Chen Momo suddenly realized, she raised her hand to touch the forehead, and smiled apologetically: "This is... this is the old slave's own thing, if the princess likes it, the old slave will give it to her, why... why are you so slanderous?"Old slave."
At the very beginning, Rong Jian noticed this when Aunt Zhou mentioned Mother Chen's temperament.
But Nanny Chen is a shrewd person, backed by the Empress Dowager, ordinary people dare not touch her, in fact, the original owner never thought of offending Nanny Chen, for fear of arousing the disgust of the Empress Dowager again.
Nanny Chen took things that were not important and not unique. Although the Changle Palace lost one or two, but they didn't catch the current ones. She said it was given by Empress Dowager or other masters, which is reasonable.
People's hearts are always greedy, and since you have taken it, you must take the most expensive one.Rong Jian actually didn't quite understand these jewelry, but he asked Aunt Zhou to deliberately exchange some precious New Year's gift tributes with similar-looking objects made in the palace before putting them into storage.
Rong Jian said indifferently: "Mama may not know, because of the preciousness of the New Year's gifts, there are pictures on the list, whether it belongs to Mama, or is it from the Palace of Changle, or is there any jewelry treasure missing from the treasury, a pair will know."
It was only then that Chen Momo realized that she might have fallen into this trick a long time ago, but it was the old man in the palace. Although she was panicked, she was not at a loss: "What the princess said is very true. The old servant accidentally used ChangleThe things in the hall really deserve death. When the old servant returns, he will pack up the things carefully and return them. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Aunt Zhou said: "I'm afraid it's because she is old and dizzy, and she doesn't even know the palace rules. Once you find a servant with dirty hands and feet, it is not too much to kill him immediately. This is Changle Hall."
Grandma Chen looked at the majestic lights around her, but there was no one in the palace, so she felt scared, removed the hair from her temples, knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please Your Highness, please spare the life of this old slave, and this old slave will never die again."Dare."
She has served the Queen Mother all her life.When the Empress Dowager was still a girl, there were four servant girls by her side, and all three of them were married to generals, and she was the only one who stayed with the Empress Dowager.Whenever the acquaintance Gao ordered his wife to enter the palace, she would not dare to face those companions in her youth. They are now worlds apart.After a long time like this, she became extremely greedy for money, and also wanted those decency.
Unexpectedly, Yichao would fall into the hands of the princess who looked down on her.
Rong Jian looked at her: "There is no need to make a big fuss about such a small matter. I still mean that. I will not copy Buddhist scriptures today, nor will I copy them in the future. As for how to explain to Empress Dowager, it is naturally up to the mother."A confidant like Mama planned it."
The Empress Dowager was obsessed with Buddhist rituals, and she was reluctant to leave the Hall of Compassion and Ning easily. Nanny Chen was her eyes, ears, and brothers in the palace. Rong Jian didn't expect her to betray the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager wanted to make Nanny Chen torture herself, so forget it.
Thinking of this, Rong Jian felt even more tired, and he waved his hand: "Think about it carefully, mother, after all, it is stealing the annual gift, and the empress dowager presides over the harem has always been fair and strict, if it comes to your majesty...no one knows the consequences."
The mother-in-law next to the grandmother stole the granddaughter's things, and the uncle who is not close to him will uphold justice at that time. With Empress Dowager's temper, he knows what he will do after thinking about it.
Rong Jian stood up, holding the earring that had been played with warmly in his hand, walked back to the bedroom, and opened the curtains layer by layer.
What about people?

Pure teacher-student relationship, but a certain meeting thought a lot (.
