Gu Xiaochun was taken aback, and in surprise, Qingchuan had already plunged into his arms, squeezed his head against his chest and started crying in a low voice. Listening to her suppressed choking sound, Gu Xiaochun also felt a bitter in her heart. Such a lively and vigorous Qingchuan must have a very difficult life in this dull but murderous Forbidden City.
Gu Xiaochun didn't say anything, just gently wrapped his hand around Qingchuan's shoulder, patted gently, and comforted the crying person. Unexpectedly, I raised my eyes once, but saw three nobles standing on the side of the veranda, also looking at him. One of them has a long jade body and a handsome face. The corners of his lips are upturned like a faint smile, but his eyes are cold and scary.
Gu Xiaochun was taken aback, and just wanted to remind Qingchuan in his arms, but the man had already turned around and turned to another trail, and the other two men in Chinese clothes also chased after him.
Xu is the noble person who passed by, anyway, Qingchuan has been lying in his arms, with only one back facing them, and it may not be possible to recognize who it is, Gu Xiaochun secretly thought of it by fluke.
Qingchuan didn't know all of this. She lay in Gu Xiaochun's arms and cried for a while, only to feel that the heart that had been depressed for a long time was finally relieved. She lifted her head from Gu Xiaochun's arms, smiled vigorously with her mouth bent, clenched a fist and said: "Okay, it's okay, I can survive wherever I am. No matter how tired or difficult, I can survive. Do you believe it in the past?"
Gu Xiaochun couldn't help but smiled, nodded, opened his mouth and just about to speak, but there was a sudden gurgling sound in his stomach.
Qingchuan was startled, then smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Gu Xiaochun readily confessed, and replied: "I came here early in the morning, and I haven't eaten anything yet!"
Qingchuan smiled and said: "Then wait, there are still cakes gifted to me by Niang Niang Niang in my room. They are very delicious. Wait for me here and I will bring them to you."
Gu Xiaochun felt that it was so easy to see Qingchuan once, and didn't want to waste time on this matter, so she stopped and said, "Forget it, no need."
Qingchuan turned around and ran for two steps, then turned around and smiled: "It's okay, I live in Ganxi No. 4, not far from here, I'll be back soon."
She hurriedly ran back to Ganxi No. 4, packed a snack from the room, and before she could go out, the little palace lady Ping'er, who had gone with her to pick up the clothes in the clothes room just now, ran in anxiously and shouted: "Qingchuan, it's not good, the little tailor who was with you just now was beaten!"
Qingchuan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Xiaochun? Who was he beaten by? Why was he beaten?"
Ping'er shook his head and said: "I don't know too well. I happened to see him being hit by a few eunuchs when I passed by, saying that he was hitting Ba Ge and the others in the Royal Garden."
His grandma's, it's the bastard guy again! Qingchuan was angry and hated when he heard it, and hurriedly dropped the snack in his hand and ran into the imperial garden. In that veranda, a few eunuchs were copying wooden sticks and beating Gu Xiaochun, Qingchuan rushed forward to stop him, and shouted: "Don't fight! Don't fight!"
The little eunuchs were afraid of hurting Qingchuan by mistake, so they had to stop. One of them said to Qingchuan embarrassedly: "Miss Qingchuan, don't embarrass us. We are also on orders. If we don’t fight, It is us who will be punished."
Qingchuan still stopped in front of Gu Xiaochun and refused to leave. He turned around and asked him in a low voice, "Why did you bump into Ba Ge?"
Gu Xiaochun had been beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, and was feeling very wronged. He said: "I don't know. I'll just sit and wait for you. They all came up and beat me suddenly."
Qingchuan frowned, turned his head back to the eunuch who was in front of him and said, "Don't fight for now, I'll go to the eighth prince to argue."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and whispered to Gu Xiaochun, "You go back to Shangyi's room first, don't come out for a few days, you can save it and be caught by them."
Gu Xiaochun grabbed Qingchuan's sleeve and refused to let go, and said anxiously: "No, don't take risks for me."
Qingchuan opened his hand and said in a low voice, "It's okay. It's not for you anymore. Instead, you are dragged down by me. You don't know. I had old grievances with that eighth elder brother. "
When she said this, Gu Xiaochun became even more worried. Qingchuan stood up and said to the eunuchs: "I'm going to find eighth elder brother, you can let him go back to the clothes room first, he can't run anyway."
The eunuchs looked at each other, thinking that Qingchuan was right, and that they were not willing to offend Qingchuan, so they nodded and let Gu Xiaochun leave. Qingchuan watched Gu Xiaochun turn back to the Shangyi room one step at a time, and then he turned to the elder brother's place.
In the yard, Eighth Brother sat leisurely on a rocking chair under the shade of the tree, looking at a volume of books in his hand. He seemed to have guessed that Qingchuan would come, with no surprise on his face, he only glanced at her faintly, then turned his head to read.
Qingchuan suppressed the anger in his heart and asked him for peace. Then he asked: "Big Brother Ba, I don't know how Xiaochun ran into you, and called so many people to beat him."
Eighth elder brother was lying on the rocking chair, not moving at all. Hearing that he just put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Qingchuan with a light smile, raising his eyebrows and asked: "Are you here to ask my Xingshi?"
Qingchuan took a deep breath and said calmly: "The slave maid didn't dare. The slave maid just came over and asked, why would he bump into Ba Ge you while sitting there?"
The Eighth Brother laughed, and replied indifferently: "If you collide, you will collide, but you're just a slave. Don't say just hit him or kill him with a stick. What is it?"
Qingchuan was so angry that he almost didn't lose his breath, and said coldly: "In your eyes, the life of a slave is of course nothing, but you have to care about your own reputation. The slave has heard that Ba Ge is famous in the palace. He treats others graciously, but I don’t know that there are times when they punish people without asking them indiscriminately!"
Eighth Brother narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qingchuan, and then asked faintly after a long while: "Do you like him? Otherwise, why do you stand up for him?"
Qingchuan was taken aback by his question and thought, "Where are you singing, where are you talking? I like it or not, so I coldly snorted and asked, "Could it be Only like to get ahead for him? He was punished innocently, I couldn't see it."
Eighth Brother snorted softly, "There are so many things that you can't see in the palace, and you have to get ahead in everything?"
Qingchuan looked at him unwillingly for a moment, and replied stubbornly: "People live not only for that bite. If you can't see it, then forget it, but since I have seen it, I can't pretend that I haven't seen it. If there are people in the world. They are all afraid of power and only care about protecting themselves. Sooner or later, when you are bullied, no one will stand up and say something fair."
Eighth brother couldn't help being a little surprised. He looked at Qingchuan for a long time and then laughed suddenly, nodded gently and said: "Very good, very good."
Qingchuan only said that he was moved by himself, so he continued to beg, "Big Brother, Xiaochun is loyal by nature and kind-hearted. Even if he accidentally bumps into you, he is completely unintentional. Please also. Raise your hand high and spare him this time. The slave servant thanked you for him here."
Unexpectedly, eight princes heard this but got colder again, and only snorted softly, without saying a word.
Qingchuan was about to ask again, but he heard him ask unhurriedly: "Qingchuan, do you know why I want to fight Gu Xiaochun?"
why? Isn't it that you are narrow-minded and take the opportunity to retaliate? But Qingchuan didn't dare to say this, so she said in a low voice, "Because he accidentally ran into you."
Eighth brother sneered softly and said: "You don't think so, Qingchuan, you didn't tell the truth, I want your truth."
Qingchuan gritted his teeth and said: "Because the slave has offended the maidservant before, and Gu Xiaochun is a friend of the slave maid, so the maid deliberately beat him to revenge the slave."
As soon as the truth was told, Qingchuan felt relieved, and just bowed his head and waited for Ba Ge's response. Eighth-age had been quiet for a long time, Qingchuan couldn't help but glanced up secretly, and saw that his face was more gloomy than before, and only said coldly: "Qingchuan, I really overestimate you, you are worthy of the name. Stupid woman!"
Am I apologizing to you? Why did you curse again? Qingchuan looked up in astonishment, and looked at Ba Ge in confusion.
Eighth elder brother snorted lowly, glanced at Qingchuan angrily, and said: "You go back first, and think about why I want to beat Gu Xiaochun!"
Qingchuan also worried that as soon as he left, the eighth prince would still beat Xiaochun, endure and endure, and asked carefully, "Where is Xiaochun?"
Eighth Brother could no longer hide the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Fight! If you see him once in the future, I will beat him once!"
Qingchuan was also anxious. After talking in a low voice for a long time, he was so unreasonable and couldn't help but angrily said: "Aixinjue Luo Yinhu! Are you reasonable or not?"
When she got angry, Eighth Brother was not angry. He shook the rocking chair again and leisurely, looked at Qingchuan and said: "You stayed in my dormitory for half the night that day, and you still had sex with other men like this. Pulling, where did you put my face? It's still light to hit him, and the next time, it won't be as simple as getting hit."
Hearing this, Qingchuan couldn't help being stunned, staring blankly at the eighth elder brother who couldn't speak for a while, and could only point to him and say: "You, you, you..."
Ba Age laughed and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Qingchuan flushed with anger, and said angrily: "I was robbed by someone else in your dormitory, and, even though I stayed in your dormitory for a while, we clearly didn't do anything!"
Eighth elder brother pretended to raise his eyebrows in astonishment: "But everyone doesn't think so, since you have come out of my dorm, you are my woman, and you will naturally take care of my face in the future!"
Qingchuan was so angry that she could hardly speak, and only threw a sentence "You are simply unreasonable!" Turning and leaving, she never thought that when she was going out of the hospital, she could still hear Ba Ge's voice not hurriedly. It spread lightly from behind: "If you miss me in the future, just come to my brother to find me directly, don't have to find an excuse, find a reason."
Qingchuan was trembling with anger, and wanted to turn around and walk back and slapped him on the face, but in this way, Xiaochun would definitely suffer from it again, so he forcibly held back the bad breath and stopped, only speeding up his steps to the outside. Run away. After leaving the elder brother's office, Qingchuan slowed down, leaning on the wall to breathe hard, stepping on the ground with vent, and cursing in a low voice: "Insanity, inexplicable, fortunately you are still a man. If you were a woman, wouldn't you still want me to be responsible for you?"
With just such a scolding, Qingchuan’s anger in his heart was relieved, and he remembered that Gu Xiaochun had come and went to Shangyifang to take a look at him, but was a little afraid that Ba Age would really do what he said, so she went to see Gu. On the contrary, Xiaochun will invite trouble to him. After thinking about it, Qingchuan had to give it up and turned back to Chu Xiu Palace to be on duty.
Xiu was not in Chuxiu Palace, and the maid Ping'er said: "The lady has changed into her new clothes and has gone to the Royal Garden."
Qingchuan's mind was still a little uncertain, only "oh", and then sat in the side hall and waited, secretly not knowing whether he could "encounter" Kangxi by chance when he went to the Imperial Garden, and whether he could attract Kangxi's attention.
Just thinking about this, but I heard a turmoil outside, Xi Bing followed a few court ladies, who actually came back angrily. Qingchuan was startled, and hurriedly grabbed a court lady behind him, carefully inquiring: "What's the matter? Why is the mother angry because of?"
The little palace lady hurriedly talked about the things in the Yuhuayuan in a low voice. It turned out that Xiu changed into new clothes and went to Yuhuayuan when she was dressed. She went to the place where Kangxi often passed by and squatted and sang a little song. Kangxi attracted the past. Kangxi was also a little surprised to see the costumed 嫔嫔, but when things were developing in the direction designed by the 僖嫔, her new upper body clothes suddenly unthreaded, revealing white fragrant shoulders.
This kind of behavior can be regarded as a little oolong in modern terms, but it happened in the Qing Dynasty and happened to the emperor's concubine. This has to be done in a way that is embarrassing for a while, and Kangxi looked at it. He even rebuked, "As a concubine, you are naked in the public, so what kind of body do you have?" After that, he walked away.
He was shocked, angry and wronged, and returned to Chu Xiu Palace with a group of womb girls angrily.
When Qingchuan entered the room, the person in the room who had already knelt down on the ground, with a cold face, was interrogating in a cold voice. Qingchuan didn't dare to speak out, and quietly knelt down behind him, and heard Xiu said in a cold voice: "It was a good opportunity to let you minions mess up, and say, what is going on with this dress? ?"
