"I heard that the hunting ground is a thousand miles long, with mountains and rivers, lush vegetation, and the Tianshan Mountains not far away. There are even wolves at night!"
The beauties covered their mouths, and several screamed in fright. A timid beauty panicked: "There are still wolves, it's too scary, I won't go."
"Look at how promising you are." Ji Xinxian sneered, not concealing her contempt, "Your Highness and King Zhongshun are hunting, do you think this is still the capital, and go out to the city for an outing on the Shangsi Festival? That's the real man."
The woman who was laughed at lowered her head and said, "It's a wolf and a bear, it's too dangerous."
This woman's family are all literati. Her father and brother recite poems against each other, and boating in Qinhuai is common. She has never seen swords and guns. No wonder she was scared. Other beauties are not as timid as her, but they are also curious and afraid of the paddock.
Jinling is close to the Qinhuai River, the emperor is young, and the people in the capital have long been accustomed to the softness of the water town. There are few people in the capital even riding horses, let alone hunting. However, Xipingfu is very different from Jinling. It is located in the frontier, and wars are fought all year round. The folk customs are extremely agile. Even children of seven or eight years old will use one or two swordsmanship.
This is when Tang Shishi heard about hunting. She was curious and asked, "Are all those prey alive?"
"Of course." Ji Xinxian has heard the most information, and she is trying her best to show off at this moment, "Of course hunting is about hunting live animals, what's the point of a dead target. I heard that there are not only deer in the paddock, but also roe deer, lynx, wild boar, and even leopards. The men hunt on horseback, and whoever shoots the most kills is the first."
Tang Shishi was fascinated when she heard it. She lived in the Tang family's compound since she was born. She has never seen snow-capped grasslands before, and she doesn't know what it's like to gallop on the grasslands.
The other women were from official families, and their tutoring would only be stricter than that of Tang Shishi. The women didn't say it, but they were actually very longing in their hearts. This hunt will last for a month, that is to say, everyone will live on the grasslands during this month.
It's no wonder that the relationship between the heroine and the hero has grown by leaps and bounds in the autumn hunt. When Tang Shishi thought about it, he felt that this kind of place was full of infinite possibilities. If you want to have contact with the prince in the palace, you will either fall into the water or climb the bed. But if it is on the grassland, there are more tricks.
Waving feet, riding horses, hunting, giving food... Tang Shishi can be completely different.
Tang Shishi had already outlined several ways of encountering in her mind, and she even thought about what she would wear and what to say at that time. Tang Shishi's plan quickly enriched, and the other women were chattering and excited. When they were talking, Tongxiu came over, stopped not far away, and coughed softly.
When the beauties heard the voice, they looked back and saw that it was Tongxiu, and stood up one after another: "Aunt Tongxiu."
"Little masters, the clothes for this season have been delivered. Each person has two clothes. If you don't want clothes, you can just take the fabric. The fabric booklet is here.
"New fabrics are coming?" All the women were very happy when they heard that they could make new clothes. They scrambled to the front and grabbed the fabric booklet to read, for fear that they would fall behind others. Tang Shishi was not in a hurry to look at the clothes. She landed at the end, walked slowly to Tongxiu's side, and blessedly said, "Thank you Aunt Tongxiu."
Seeing that it was Master Tang, Tongxiu avoided the blessings of Master Tang, and returned a half-salutation: "This is the responsibility of the slave, and I dare not take credit."
"Aunt Tongxiu is in charge of such a big palace. She has to prepare for the autumn hunt and worry about the changing seasons of our little girls. It's really hard. I wonder if my aunt has enough staff? If the autumn hunt can't be arranged, little girl I am willing to share the worries for my aunt."
Tongxiu smiled clearly, lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you Miss Tang for your kindness, but it's unnecessary. It is a blessing for slaves to serve the prince. Besides, this autumn hunt, slaves do not accompany you, so there is no need to be tired. "
Tang Shishi was surprised and lost his voice: "Aren't you going?"
"Naturally." Tong Xiu lowered her head halfway and said with a straight face, "Your Highness and Zhongshun Wang Qiushou are a major event. This is not only ordinary hunting, but also represents the face of the court. Women can neither ride nor hunt, and they are still moving on the road. Being sick, the lord always hates trouble, so he seldom takes women around hunting."
Tang Shishi was stunned. She had arranged so many plans, but she never thought about whether she could attend. Tang Shishi hurriedly asked: "Isn't the lord not bringing any women? In addition to hunting, he also has food, clothing, housing, and transportation. There should always be people around him to serve, right?"
"The slaves don't know." Tong Xiu closed her eyes and said in a sullen voice, "The prince's close service has always been in charge of Mr. Liu, and slaves dare not overstep."
Tong Xiuming refused to speak, so Tang Shishi could only stop. Her mood was up and down, and she was very puzzled for a while.
It was the first time that Tang Shishi had seen such a strange person. Others wanted to carry a brothel when they went out to play, but King Jing was better, he didn't bring any of them. He has not married a wife yet, and he has made great contributions to it.
Then why Zhou Shunhua can go? Tang Shishi just finished thinking, and he gave the answer. Because Zhou Shunhua is the heroine, and she is the servant girl of the prince, she was naturally taken by the prince.
Ji Xinxian and the others were happily picking fabrics and preparing clothes for their autumn hunting trip, not knowing at all that they couldn't go. Tang Shishi glanced at the others, said nothing, and left quietly.
Tang Shishi has always believed that what matters is man. What others can do, there is no reason why she can't.
Tang Shishi went to the study. The study was quiet at the moment, Anji Timur sent someone to Xiping Mansion, Anji Timur was the leader of Hamiwei, and was also the King Zhongshun appointed by the imperial court. When Anji Timur's people came over, King Jing had to arrange an itinerary. In the past few days, King Jing went out early and returned late, and he was not in the palace most of the time, and Tang Shishi didn't have to stay in the study all the time.
Tang Shishi returned to the study, asked the maid, and walked to Liu Ji's location. When Tang Shishi approached, Liu Ji was teaching the people below. Tang Shishi was not easy to enter, so he stayed at the door and waited.
Liu Ji was respectful in front of King Jing, but in the eyes of the rest of the palace, he was an out-and-out Director Liu. Liu Ji taught his subordinates in a dangling voice, and all the people below were silent and only made promises.
"Open your eyes to each and every one of them. I'm the one who said the ugly words in front of me. If anyone dares to make mistakes at this juncture, heh, you will see it yourself."
"Yes."
Liu Ji took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you get out of here as soon as possible?"
The next people left in a hurry. After everyone left, Tang Shishi knocked on the door and smiled at Liu Ji: "Eunuch Liu."
"Yo, Miss Tang." Liu Ji put down the tea with a smile, bowed his waist and called Tang Shishi a thousand. Liu Ji is always smiling, the curvature of his eyes and the corners of his mouth is not much, not a little, and he looks panicked: "I'm so rude, I didn't know that Miss Tang was here. Miss Tang is a rare visitor, I don't know. Why did the girl come to this old slave?"
Tang Shishi smiled and said: "Eunuch Liu is very polite, you are a busy person, how dare I come here casually to waste your time. When I just came here, I saw that there was no one in the study, and the lord seemed to be not in the mansion. The lord has been away from the house for several days. , I heard that you are preparing for the autumn hunt?"
Liu Ji smiled and said slowly, "I'm an eunuch, so I don't know anything about the outside world. Qiu Shou has to prepare a lot of things, and he also has to contact King Zhongshun. Except for the prince, no one else can do these things. "
"Oh." Tang Shishi responded and said, "Your Majesty is both civil and military, and the little girl really admires it. Your Majesty is so busy, you must choose a few people to serve and take care of your Majesty's clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Especially recently, the weather has turned colder and the grassland is windy. Great, but you must not let the lord suffer from the cold."
Liu Ji nodded his head, "Yes, that's exactly the reason. It's a pity that the old slave is too old and can't keep up with his legs and feet, so he can't accompany the prince to the paddock. The people below are too slick, and I don't worry about choosing who to go. Alas, it's all my fault for this old slave's unsatisfactory legs, it's really worrying."
The people who served in the court have had problems with their legs and feet for a long time. Feng mama is like this, Liu Ji is a eunuch, and the pain will only get worse. Tang Shishi's mind turned around and asked, "Then, now, can you choose the people who serve by the prince's side?"
"The election was chosen, but they are all people in the military. How can I say these people, martial arts and vigilance are all good, but serving people, it would be too careless."
Tang Shishi suddenly looked solemn, stood up, and saluted Liu Ji: "The little girl is not talented, I am willing to worry about Liu Gonggong."
Liu Ji sat firmly on the chair without any emotion, but said eagerly, "Miss Tang, please get up quickly, this old slave can't be your salute."
"Eunuch Liu, what are you talking about, you are a senior, you have helped me a lot, and the little girl should repay you." Tang Shishi kept his Wanfu gesture and said with a sideways face, "The prince is busy with official business, I can't wait for the prince. To share your worries, you can only serve food, clothing, housing, and transportation. At least don’t let the prince be distracted by the trivial matters of life after dealing with national affairs. Logically, Eunuch Liu is the most suitable candidate, but unfortunately you have inconvenient legs and feet. In this case, you might as well find someone you are familiar with People, you know the prince's avoidance, and you can get started as soon as possible. Eunuch Liu, what do you think?"
"What Miss Tang said is." Liu Ji fiddled with the teacup, pushed the thing aside, and said, "I can't do without a careful person around the lord, and none of my apprentices are good at it. In terms of cleverness and mentality, none of them can be compared. Miss Tang. It's just fighting in the paddock, the conditions are not as good as the palace, I'm afraid Miss Tang will not be used to it..."
"I live in the habit!" Tang Shishi immediately stopped Liu Ji's words, she cleared her throat and saluted deeply, "The little girl is willing to serve the lord, please give me a good word."
Liu Ji smiled lightly, he stood up, and Xu Xu helped Tang Shishi to stand up: "Miss Tang, what are you doing, you are the master, there is no reason to bow to the servant of the old slave. Since Miss Tang is not too bitter , then try this old slave. The specific decision depends on the king's idea."
"Yes." Tang Shishi smiled and thanked Liu Ji neatly, "Many thanks to Eunuch Liu. The grace of dripping water, the repayment of the spring, the kindness of Eunuch Liu's support, the little girl will never forget."
Liu Ji laughed when he heard it, copied his hand and said, "Miss Tang has a heart. If you have such a heart, the old slave will be satisfied."
Tang Shishi looked grateful, she lowered her eyes, but there was no movement in her eyes. Anyway, you don't need money to talk, just say whatever you want. There are many people she wants to repay, and she doesn't care about one more.
Although Tang Shishi still didn't know why Liu Ji wanted to help her, it was obvious that no one would make a loss-making business, especially eunuchs. Liu Ji obviously has other plans, but it doesn't matter, because Tang Shishi is also using him.
Everyone gets what they need, and what happens in the future is up to their own means.
When Tang Shishi returned to the Jianjia Courtyard, Du Juan poured hot tea for Tang Shishi, while muttering: "I heard that the prince and the prince are going to the paddock for autumn hunting in a few days, girl, do you know this?"
Tang Shishi hummed casually. She held up the teacup and did not rush to drink water, but asked: "The prince is going too? The prince was punished a few days ago, didn't he say that he was seriously injured?"
"Yeah." Du Juan sighed and said, "But this time around, King Zhongshun will take his son, the county master, and the prince, as the face of the palace, has to attend. So the prince endured the injury and accompanied the prince. go with."
"Take the injury?" Tang Shishi frowned, "It's ridiculous, how can he go hunting when he is injured?"
"It should be fine." Du Juan said, "Since the lord agrees to the prince to go, it means that the injury is not that serious, otherwise the prince will not agree. Besides, the prince will bring the accompanying imperial doctor and maid, and the imperial doctor will take care of him, and everything will be fine. of."
"The paddock is different from the palace. Everything in the palace is ready-made. Of course it's fine for the prince to walk on the flat ground. But the paddock needs to be real." Tang Shishi sighed deeply, feeling extremely tired for the father and son, "The prince has a wound on his back. , how can you ride a horse and shoot arrows? In case of an accident, the prince will not be able to hide."
Du Juan tugged at his hair and said hesitantly, "It shouldn't be that serious, right? With the prince here, everything will be fine."
Du Juan has an unreasonable trust in King Jing, not only Du Juan, but also everyone in the palace. Both fearful and convinced.
Tang Shishi didn't know where their confidence came from, but King Jing's warning that day was vivid in his mind, and Tang Shishi didn't dare to speak ill of King Jing, so he could only endure it. Seeing this, Du Juan asked cautiously, "Miss, why do you care so much about the prince?"
"Of course it's for the good of the palace." Tang Shishi said righteously, "The prince is the only one in the palace. If the prince has three strengths and two weaknesses, what will happen to the Jingwang palace? What will happen to the people on the fief?"
The most important thing is, if Zhao Zixun dies, what will happen to Tang Shishi's dream of the queen mother
No matter who dies, Zhao Zixun cannot die. No, King Jing cannot die either. If King Jing dies prematurely, where will Zhao Zixun be the crown prince
Du Juan didn't know why, so he nodded: "The girl is right. But there will be a maid to serve the prince, so it should be fine."
When Tang Shishi heard this, he inexplicably had an intuition. Tang Shishi asked: "Who will the prince bring to serve?"
Du Juan looked around, got close, and quietly said to Tang Shishi, "It's Miss Zhou from Liuyun Courtyard."
Tang Shishi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't Ren Yujun going?"
"No. Qiu Shou can't bring too many people, and the prince only brought one maid."
Tang Shishi smiled without saying a word. She had a hunch that when they returned from the paddock, the plastic sisterhood between Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun would be broken. Really looking forward to it.
Du Juan sighed and said enviously: "The paddock is at the foot of Qilian Mountain, it is said to be a thousand miles away! I haven't been to that far, but it's a pity that there is no princess in the mansion, and the princess doesn't travel, and we maids can't get enough of it. Alas, I don't know who is so lucky and will be chosen by the prince to accompany him."
Tang Shishi didn't speak. After a while, he lowered his head and smiled: "Who is it, wait and see."
In September, the weather was high and the air was crisp, and the team got ready early and was ready to go.
Zhao Chengjun hated burdens, and he usually hunted around, and there was no one in the team who could not ride a horse. But this time Zhao Zixun was injured on his back, and Zhao Chengjun rarely retreated, allowing Zhao Zixun to take someone to accompany him. Sure enough, Zhao Zixun brought the woman.
Zhao Chengjun thought that this was the limit of his patience, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Tang Shishi in front of the door.
Tang Shishi stood in front of the second gate with a burden, waiting for the carriage to come over. Zhao Chengjun changed his clothes and strode from the mansion. He stopped when he passed the door and looked at Master Tang coldly: "Why are you here?"
Tang Shishi saluted and said meekly: "The little girl was ordered to come and serve the prince."
Zhao Chengjun turned his head and glanced at Liu Ji quietly with his black and white eyes. Liu Ji hurriedly smiled and said: "My lord, the old slave can't ride a horse and can't go with him. But you can't do it without someone to serve you. She is still obedient and moves quickly. Your lord, you see..."
Tang Shishi didn't think it was right. Didn't Liu Ji say that he came to persuade King Jing? Depending on the situation, Liu Ji didn't say anything at all
Tang Shishi also panicked, and said quickly: "My lord, the news that I will be accompanying you three days ago has spread, and now everyone in the house knows. If you drive me back now, what face will I have to meet people in the future? I After all, she is the number one beauty appointed by the Queen Mother, and she came to the palace smoothly all the way. You don’t care about face, but I can’t. If you put me down before departure, and I have no face to go back, then I can only die. "
Zhao Chengjun smiled very lightly, and didn't seem to believe it: "If you die? You will care about other things, more than your life?"
"Nothing else." Tang Shishi said truthfully, "but not for face."
Zhao Chengjun just glanced at her lightly, unmoved at all, and strode out of the door. Tang Shishi widened his eyes and chased down the steps with his skirt in hand: "My lord, I have been good-looking since I was a child. I have always been a great beauty. You can't break my face in such a place..."
"Enough." Zhao Chengjun couldn't bear it any longer, turned his head and said coldly, "Get in the car."
Tang Shishi froze in place, she thought she had heard it wrong: "... ah?"
Liu Ji walked behind Tang Shishi slowly, and he slapped Tang Shishi with his hands and said, "Miss Tang, the lord doesn't like others wasting time. Get in the car quickly."
Tang Shishi finally reacted: "Okay. Thank you father-in-law for reminding me."
"It's a matter of the old slave's share." Liu Ji looked at Master Tang (vinegar, slip, literature, study, the fastest, send-), his eyes thoughtful, "There are no swords in the paddock, and Miss Tang reminds me Lord, don't get hurt."
"This is my duty, father-in-law, please come back." Tang Shishi motioned to Liu Ji, and then stepped on the bench to get into the car. She opened the curtain and raised her eyebrows unexpectedly.
Zhou Shunhua seemed unhappy when he saw it was her, but in the end she endured it, nodding to Master Tang, "Miss Tang."
Tang Shishi laughed immediately after being surprised. She carried her skirt into the car, and Shi Shiran sat opposite Zhou Shunhua, tidying up the folds on the skirt: "It turned out to be Sister Zhou, which is a coincidence. It seems that Sister Zhou will meet me face to face along the way."
Zhou Shunhua pursed his lips tightly, and pulled the corners of his mouth perfunctorily: "Yes. There is Miss Laotang to take care of you on the road."
Tang Shishi slowly raised the corner of his mouth: "Of course."
Tang Shishi and Zhou Shunhua had no interest in speaking, and then the two either closed their eyes and rested their minds, or silently endorsed their words.
Because of the female dependents, the travel speed was greatly slowed down, and the original three-day journey was dragged into seven days. On the evening of the seventh day, with the sunset glowing in the sky, they finally arrived at the paddock.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Tang Shishi hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. She was really suffocated for the past seven days. As soon as she found an opportunity, Tang Shishi quickly got out of the car to breathe.
Fortunately, the paddock finally arrived. Tang Shishi stood on the ground and looked up. The grassland was endless, the red clouds piled up on the horizon, and the afterglow of the sunset spread down. Several colors collide with each other, which is magnificent and charming.
The scenery is far away, the depression along the way is swept away, and even the mood is opened up. The guards were busy moving things from the car and setting up camp. Zhao Zixun patrolled all the way and walked slowly to this area. He was riding on a horse, and far away he saw a woman standing in the grass, covering her eyes with her hands, looking into the distance.
In the evening, the wind was strong, her dress was rattled by the wind, and the vast grassland seemed to suddenly become her background.
She is looking at the scenery, but as everyone knows, she is also the scenery in the eyes of others. Many people who came and went couldn't help but look at her quietly.
When the soldiers carrying things on both sides saw Zhao Zixun, they hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted, "See you the prince."
Zhao Zixun was brought back to his senses by the sudden voice, his eyes returned to focus, and he nodded lightly to the people on both sides, then turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly forward.
Zhou Shunhua was standing beside the carriage when suddenly her eyes narrowed and she saw Zhao Zixun's figure. Zhou Shunhua was overjoyed, put on his skirt and ran towards Zhao Zixun: "Sir."
Zhao Zixun was walking in the direction of Tang Shishi, when he suddenly heard Zhou Shunhua's voice, he stopped abruptly. He turned around and saw Zhou Shunhua hurried to him, and said happily, "Sir, are you here to pick me up?"
Actually not, even Zhao Zixun just remembered that Zhou Shunhua was here too. Zhao Zixun smiled softly and said, "Naturally. There are so many people on the road, it's inconvenient for me to talk to you, but now I can finally pick you up. You've worked hard all the way, so take a good rest tonight."
Zhou Shunhua was moved and sweet, and nodded with a smile. Zhou Shunhua thought she was about to leave, she waited eagerly, but Zhao Zixun didn't move for a long time. He looked straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhou Shunhua followed Zhao Zixun's gaze and found that the focus of his gaze turned out to be Tang Shishi. Zhou Shunhua's smile was slightly startled, she was inexplicably panicked, she couldn't help but increase her voice, and reminded a little rudely: "Sir, it's time for us to go."
Zhao Zixun was slightly startled, retracted his gaze, and glanced at Zhou Shunhua a little displeased. Zhou Shunhua pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "Sir, it's getting late, you have to go and greet the prince later."
"Father has gone to Anji Timur's camp, and he won't be back so soon." After Zhao Zixun finished speaking, he finally obeyed his inner thoughts and summoned a soldier who said with a cold face, "There are many people here, not female relatives. Where she should be. Call her back and let her stay in her tent."
Xiao Bing was a little embarrassed and said, "Sir, before you left, Eunuch Liu specially instructed that Miss Tang was here to serve the prince. The main tent has not been set up yet..."
Zhao Zixun was slightly absent-minded again, yes, why did he forget that Tang Shishi came with his father, so naturally he should live in the main tent, how can he have his own tent? Zhao Zixun quickly concealed his confusion and said, "Then let her go to the main tent and wait, don't walk around. Since she is her father's maid, she should always put her father first. If her father comes back, she will But there is no figure, what kind of body is it?"
"Yes." Xiaobing clasped his fists and ran over to remind Tang Shishi. Soon, Tang Shishi put down his hand, glanced at Zhao Zixun from a distance, and was taken away helplessly.
Zhou Shunhua has been paying attention to Zhao Zixun's expression. She glanced at Tang Shishi's back and called Zhao Zixun softly: "Sir."
Zhao Zixun looked back at her, Zhou Shunhua smiled and said, "Sir, there are too many people here, I'm not very comfortable."
Zhao Zixun immediately retracted his attention and scolded slightly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you're not feeling well? Hurry back and rest, let's go."
Tang Shishi was blowing the air well, but he was forced to leave. The main tent where King Jing lived was the largest, and the location was the most important. It took a long time to set up everything. Since Tang Shishi took the name of a maid, she has to do the work of a maid. She did not have a separate tent, but set up a second tent next to King Jing's main tent as her residence for the past few days.
The guards came in and out, and displayed tables and chairs, carpets, incense burners and other furnishings in the main tent, while Tang Shishi's place was much simpler.
Being humble also has the advantage of being humble. Tang Shishi can go back to the house early to rest. She closed the door of the tent, listened for a long time in the back, made sure no one was paying attention to her, and then quietly sat down on the slump and took out the book in her bag.
During this period of time on the road, Tang Shishi stayed with Zhou Shunhua all day long, and she did not dare to take out the book to read. Now Tang Shishi finally has the time to check how much the plot has been updated.
The details of the journey are lackluster, but the real story happens after reaching the paddock. The plot of the autumn hunt is very important. Zhou Shunhua shined in this hunt and started her legendary road, and emotionally, the autumn hunt also plays a pivotal role.
It was here that Zhou Shunhua and Zhao Zixun expressed their intentions to each other, finally pierced the window paper, and entered the period of love from the ambiguous period. For example, on the first day after arriving, Zhou Shunhua was not feeling well. Zhao Zixun escorted Zhou Shunhua back to the camp, and despite dissuasion, insisted on letting her sleep on his bed. Afterwards, Zhao Zixun called the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse, prescribe medicine, and then personally fed Zhou Shunhua to drink the medicine. Zhou Shunhua was flattered, and soon, she fell asleep. When Zhou Shunhua woke up again, she found that it was dark, and now she was still lying on Zhao Zixun's bed, alone, in the middle of the night, in the same room.
Tang Shishi nervously turned over a page and found that the back was blank. She scolded secretly, it was really annoying, but she ended up here.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of salute from outside, and King Jing came back! Tang Shishi was taken aback, and quickly hid the book back in the bag, stuffing it all the way to the innermost side of the bed. Tang Shishi was not at ease, and pressed several clothes on it, for fear that others would find her burden.
The voices from outside were getting closer, Tang Shishi hurriedly hid it, and before he had time to take care of his skirt, he quickly ran outside. Zhao Chengjun was talking to his subordinates when a man suddenly ran out from behind, his arm tightened instantly, and the guard immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife. Zhao Chengjun turned back with a sullen face, and found that it was Tang Shishi.
The people in the main tent pressed their knives together, and Tang Shishi was taken aback. She was stunned for a moment, then bowed her knees and bowed to Zhao Chengjun: "See your lord. The little girl was sleeping just now and couldn't meet the lord in time. Please forgive me."
Zhao Chengjun swept over Tang Shishi quietly, she looked like she just woke up. Zhao Chengjun didn't say anything, he waved, and the guards all put away their knives. Zhao Chengjun lowered his head and explained a few words, then signaled his subordinates to step back: "Tonight is a good day to patrol, don't let up. The rest will be discussed tomorrow."
"Yes."
The guards clasped their fists and stepped back neatly, without anyone looking around. After everyone left, Zhao Chengjun sat down behind the desk and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"The little girl was waiting for the prince to come back, and she fell asleep when she didn't pay attention." Tang Shishi said and glanced outside, and muttered, "It's so dark."
Zhao Chengjun was very helpless, and everyone packed him here. He picked up the teapot and poured water. When Tang Shishi saw it, he quickly stepped forward and took the things from Zhao Chengjun's hand: "The little girl is negligent, how can I let the lord pour the tea by himself?"
After Tang Shishi finished speaking, he touched the teacup with his fingers, and became more and more embarrassed: "The tea is cold, the lord forgive me, I will go to exchange the hot tea."
"No need." Zhao Chengjun was too lazy to toss, he took the cold tea, took a sip, and waved to Tang Shishi, "It's none of your business, let's go."
"How can this be possible?" Tang Shishi didn't even want to veto, "I'm here to serve you, the lord has not yet settled down, and I, the maid, will step down first. What does this look like? Do you want to wash up, lord?"
Zhao Chengjun endured and said, "No need."
However, Tang Shishi stood up like a chicken blood, and said with high fighting spirit: "Wait a minute, my lord, I'll go get hot water right now."
Zhao Chengjun pressed his fingers against his eyebrows, and he rarely felt a headache. His brain is not bright, and he can't understand people's words. What is he going to do with this woman
Fortunately, the hot water in the main tent was always ready. Tang Shishi quickly brought a basin of hot water back. Zhao Chengjun watched her put the water on the table, rolled up his sleeves, soaked the handkerchief, and wringed it dry.
Zhao Chengjun ran out of patience and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Wait for the lord to wash his face."
Zhao Chengjun pressed his eyebrows again, he sighed softly, and his tone suddenly became heavier: "This king has hands and feet, so I never need anyone to wait on me. If you are really free, go and set up this king's sword."
Tang Shishi heard that Zhao Chengjun was serious. Zhao Chengjun never joked. Tang Shishi didn't dare to challenge his words. Zhao Chengjun picked up the handkerchief, wiped his fingers carefully, and suddenly heard a plop.
Tang Shishi did not expect the sword to be so heavy, and the whole person fell to the ground together with the sword. Tang Shishi struggled to hold the sword, noticed that Zhao Chengjun turned back, and squeezed out a smile: "Your Highness forgives your sin, it was just an accident. I'll put your sword away."
Zhao Chengjun threw the handkerchief back into the water, without saying a word, he walked towards Tang Shishi quickly. Tang Shishi was trying to hold the sword, when a shadow suddenly fell on her head, she didn't have time to react, she saw a slender arm pass over her, hold the sword body, and pick up the sword she couldn't pick up no matter how hard she tried with one hand.
Tang Shishi was half-kneeling on the ground, stunned for a long time, then stood up quickly, followed behind Zhao Chengjun like a tail, and watched Zhao Chengjun put his saber on the three-legged stand. Tang Shishi was embarrassed and flattered: "The lord is really powerful, the little girl admires it."
Zhao Chengjun was impatient. He pointed in one direction and said coldly, "Go back to sleep."
"… Yes."
Tang Shishi retreated in despair. After waiting for the others to leave, Zhao Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief at the candlelight in the room.
Finally gone.
Really useless.
