Mr. Wumin and I turned left and right to make sure that no one was following us, so we reassuredly walked from the other end of the alley to another street, and heard bursts of applause as soon as we went out.
Mr. Wumin and I looked at each other, walked towards the place where the crowd gathered, pushed away the obstacles, walked into the inner circle, and saw a little girl who looked about eight or nine years old, with a round face, tied with two bulging clothes. The bun head, the skin is tender and white, and the powder is carved with jade, which looks very cute. But she was wearing men's clothes - a light green robe, which was dragged directly to the ground. Her hands were too short and the sleeves were too long, so she couldn't show them, so she hid them inside, directly separated On the sleeve is holding a pure white furry animal who doesn't know whether it is a mouse or something.
The little animal was as cute as its owner, with big black eyes, and looked around shiningly. Seeing everyone cheering, it turned over and jumped onto the little girl's shoulders.
The little girl stretched out her left hand and shook it through the sleeve, and the little animal also stretched out its left hand and shook it. The same cute girl and the little animal made the same movement together. The feeling was really wonderful and indescribable , no wonder everyone couldn't help but stop and cheer.
Then, the little girl took the little animal down and threw it into the air with such great strength that everyone held their breath involuntarily, but the animal disappeared immediately after being thrown into the air, and the next moment the little girl threw it into the air. Pulling it out of the sleeve, the master and servant looked at everyone with a smile.
"I took the buns down the mountain to find a husband. I have no money. I sell art for money. I hope everyone has the money to contribute. If there is no money... Uh, I will give you... Thank you..." the little girl said childishly, while bowing to everyone , the little animals on her shoulders bent towards everyone exactly like her, looking extremely cute.
Immediately, someone took out the money and threw it into the wooden box beside it.
I found it very funny, but also a bit unbelievable. This girl is only eight or nine years old at most. Why... she is going down the mountain to find her husband...
After thinking about it, she was so cute, it was irresistible, I took out a penny, tore the thread, and threw all the copper plates into the wooden box.
Lord Wumin raised his eyebrows, and whispered: "Tsk, woman..."
I ignored him and threw money into the wooden box. It was probably because of the loud noise. The little girl was startled and blinked at me. I gave her a friendly smile, and the little girl said in embarrassment: " Son, I... I won't be your wife."
"..."
"Hahahahahaha!" Lord Wumin burst into exaggerated laughter.
My smile froze: "Little girl, I... didn't let you be mine... Well, wife, don't worry."
The little girl said embarrassingly: "Really... my master said, it's strange for a man to smile at you, and he usually wants you to be his wife, so be careful..."
"Uh, what your master said makes sense," I couldn't explain clearly, so I could only say, "Anyway, I..."
I tugged at Mr. Wumin: "I have a wife."
"Oh!" The little girl nodded happily.
Lord Wumin: "..."
But in this way, this little girl is probably talking about going down the mountain to find her master, not her husband...
The little girl looked left and right, saw that everyone had almost left, and said to Mr. Wumin and me, "Thank you, my name is Situ Youqing, and it's sunny!"
"Uh, I..." I couldn't make up a name for a while, so I said casually, "My name is Tianwei."
Lord Wumin: "..."
Situ Youqing didn't care much about my name, she just whispered: "You guys will have bloodshed tonight, be careful!"
The "baozi" on her shoulder also echoed the sound of "squeak, squeak!", and the fluffy one shook symbolically twice to show fear.
"..." I said awkwardly, "Well, thank you..."
Situ Youqing picked up the wooden box and blinked at me: "Thank you! See you next time! Remember, I don't put green onions in my noodles!"
Baozi: "Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
"..." What a mess.
Mr. Wumin was laughing beside him until he fell down, and now he finally regained his composure, rubbed his stomach and said to me: "Yun Jiao, didn't you notice something?"
"..."
"You guys are just like that, it looks like Baozi has more brains than you hahahahaha..."
"..."
The matter of going out to find an expert ended like this--I pulled Mr. Wumin by the ear and dragged him back to the palace forcefully.
***
After returning to the palace with Lord Wumin, they went back to the bedroom separately, pretending that nothing happened.
I don't know if there is a problem with her, but there is... something happened on my side.
Because my second sister, Princess Changhe, actually came to ask to see her.
I have three older sisters, a younger sister and a younger brother, the eldest and the second.
Changhe and I have never been on good terms, and there is no special reason, but she is very favored and doesn't give me any good looks. Although she is not cynic, she basically doesn't remember me as a sister.
Once, I was rarely invited by the current empress dowager, the queen empress at that time, to visit the garden in Lichun. I was thirteen that year, and I knew almost nothing, let alone beautiful clothes and jewelry. In the end, I could only dress comfortably Some old clothes go to the imperial garden, and what they wear on their heads are just two green hairpins.
The eldest sister, the third sister and the fifth younger sister are all dressed up beautifully, and the concubines are even more colorful, more colorful than the flowers that bloom in the beginning of spring. I am alone, and I probably don’t even count as green leaves, but... er, count as black soil.
Everyone saw it and didn't say anything. The eldest sister was nicer and scolded the servants who arranged for me to serve the jewelry. The third sister kept silent, but the second sister put a golden hairpin on her head in full view. Take it off and hand it to me.
It was the first time in my life that I realized what sisterhood is. Just when I was about to be moved, she said indifferently: "Well, I reward you."
"..."
I was so angry that I threw the hairpin directly between her eyebrows. Fortunately, I was too angry at that time and my hands were shaking. Otherwise, depending on my hand strength and aim, I'm afraid she would really be stabbed to death by me.
After that, I never participated in any large or small activities in the palace.
To Changhe, I really couldn't put on a good face, but I couldn't refuse, so I let her in.
After she came in, he could only look at her stiffly.
Probably because my complexion was really ugly, Changhe saluted, and then said in embarrassment: "Xihuang..."
There are four countries in the east, west, north and south, and the two countries in the northwest are called the emperor, and the southeast is the emperor. I don’t know when it was spread, but people in all countries only recognize their own emperor, so they usually call them "Your Majesty" or "Emperor". It's been a long time since I've heard the name Xihuang.
"Hmm." I replied lightly, "Are you...?"
Changhe was even more embarrassed: "The concubine is Changyi's older sister, Princess Changhe, whom the Western Emperor met yesterday."
"Oh." I suddenly realized, and nodded with a long and agreeable smile. I changed my tone and said, "What's the matter?"
Chang He said: "Actually, it's not a big deal..."
"Oh, let's go then." I nodded.
Changhe: "..."
"Actually, it's not a trivial matter." Chang He murmured.
I imitated Lord Wumin, and it felt pretty good, but I couldn't bear it when I saw that he was so good, so I said, "What's the matter?"
Changhe lowered his head, and after a while, he said shyly: "Changhe wanted to ask, whether the Western Emperor's harem would be too empty...?"

When she said this, I understood something in my heart, and at the same time, I heard a slight sound, and a black shadow quickly passed the screen behind the long and tall, and landed on the beam.
It is Lord Wumin.
He probably came to see me because he was bored, but he just hid and watched the show when he saw that he was there.
Why is this scene so familiar
I remembered what he told me about his eavesdropping on the beam seven years ago, uh, isn't that almost exactly the same as now
It's been seven years, and this person hasn't improved at all...
I pretended not to see him, and said to Chang He, "Of course not."
Chang He was stunned for a moment, and said: "But... you are the Western Emperor, with three thousand beauties in the harem, it's nothing more than normal..."
I interrupted her: "Haven't you heard of 'Looking back and smiling at Bai Meisheng, Liugong Fendai has no color'?"
Changhe was stunned: "You mean Changyi...?"
... What kind of look is that.
I said seriously, "Naturally."
The corner of Chang He's mouth twitched: "But she... is actually long... and not..."
Do you think I don't know what you mean when you stutter? !
I said: "Hey, Changyi's beauty, you vulgar fans naturally don't understand it, Changyi is... well, 'Clear water produces hibiscus, natural to carve'... Do you understand?"
Chang He said awkwardly: "I don't really understand."
"..." I heard Lord Wumin sneer quietly.
Changhe doesn't have martial arts, and his hearing isn't as sensitive as mine, so he didn't notice anything, he just twitched the corners of his mouth: "Is it... um, um... Emperor Xi likes Chang Yi so much, and I, as an older sister, am also... happy for her. "
I follow the good example: "I thank you on her behalf."
"...No need." Changhe waved his hand, resigned and left.
As soon as Changhe left, Lord Wumin flew down, with a deep smile on his face, I blushed a little: "What are you laughing at?"
Monarch Wumin said: "'Clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve'..."
I said with a straight face, "Why?"
"Oh, it's nothing, just read a few words casually." Mr. Wumin rubbed his stiff face with a smile.
I looked around and said to him: "What are you doing here?"
Lord Wumin lazily threw himself on the grand master's chair: "Come and sleep."
I was baffled: "Why are you here to sleep?"
Lord Wumin didn't answer me, but said: "Tomorrow is the last day, after that, it will be even more difficult for you to return to Dongyuan Country."
There was a faint melancholy in my heart: "Yes, hey."
Mr. Wumin smiled and didn't say anything else, I didn't bother to drive him away, I sat on the ground with my knees hugged, there was rarely any quarrel or yelling between the two of us, the quietness was a bit scary.
After a while.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."
The corner of my mouth twitched and I raised my head, only to see Lord Wumin leaning his head on the chair and snoring.
... I knew that the sentimental atmosphere between us was always just an illusion.
***
Lord Wumin fell asleep on the Taishi chair, I helped him cover the quilt, and lay down on the bed myself, after walking outside the palace for so long in the morning, I was indeed tired.
However, in the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of rustling.
Carefully, I slowly straightened up, poked my head around and looked around, and saw that Lord Wumin was just like me, looking around with his eyes open.
The number of people who came was not small, and there were about four voices. If there were any voices that I couldn't hear, it would be a little scary.
Lord Wumin stood up, moved his body indifferently, and breathed smoothly and naturally, like a sleeping person.
It suddenly occurred to me that I went to assassinate him that night, and he probably confused me in the same way.
At that time, I wanted to kill him, but now he escaped from other people's assassination together with him, it is really unpredictable.
Lord Wumin waved his hand to me, and I quietly hid in the corner with him, I held my breath, not long after the sound of a guard being knocked out came from outside, and then someone gently opened the door.
Only one person came in, and he walked directly towards the bed without hesitation, but in fact we were next to the bed, as soon as he got to the bed, Lord Wumin flew out and hit the back of his neck/acupoints.
The man collapsed before he could react, and Mr. Wumin placed him directly on the bed, then quickly hid in the corner, and held his breath just like me.
I was amazed that he could use such a cheap trick.
Sure enough, not long after, the three people outside probably saw that the person at the beginning hadn't come out, so they entered one after another. Their first move was to rush to the bedside, swinging their knives to chop the person on the bed.
But the person on the bed just woke up, and immediately turned around to fight back. The four of us were in a mess, and finally found out that we were all our own people through the moonlight from outside. He dealt with two of them in a messy manner, and after a few tricks with the other two, he easily subdued them.
Looking at the four unconscious men in black lying on the ground, I suddenly thought of the "bloody disaster" that Situ Youqing said this morning, and couldn't help being a little funny. Where did the bloody disaster come from
Lord Wumin wandered to the door, squeezed his throat and shouted: "There is an assassin—come quickly!"
He faintly used some internal strength, and the voice was very loud, and soon there was a panic in the palace, and a large group of people came towards here.
I thought it was funny, and I walked a few steps towards Lord Wumin, but my face suddenly changed—
Under the moonlight, there was a big bloodstain on the buttocks of Lord Wumin!
There is moonlight and blood again... It really is a disaster of blood and light!
