Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!
Chapter 5: Separation
Although Xiao Changning's status is not as good as before, he is the eldest princess of a country after all. On the first night when Clinker married a treacherous lady and became his wife, he slept like a foot-washing maid on the footbed, and it was the first time to say it.
So that when Xiao Changning woke up, he had a sore back and a sore back, as if he had had an absurd dream.
"His Royal Highness, are you okay?" The servants heard the movement and cautiously pushed the door in.
The maidservants Xiao Changning brought from Xibi Palace consisted of three people: Summer Green, Autumn Red, and Dong Sui. Among them, Qiuhong is the dowry rewarded by the Empress Dowager Liang, who is more respectful in her words, but not close enough. Xia Lu and Dong Sui were the personal servants who accompanied Xiao Changning since childhood, and their worries were written in their eyes.
Seeing Xiao Changning sitting on her feet in pain, Dong Sui's eyes turned red first, and he pulled her up and down to look up and down: "His Royal Highness, where are you uncomfortable? What has he done to you?"
Xiao Changning turned his sore neck and shook his head: "It's just another day to live... Hiss, Xia Lu, come to pinch my shoulders, the couch is too hard, and it hurts very much when I fall asleep."
"Foot bed?" Xia Lu squeezed his shoulders to Xiao Changning, tears fell unbearable, and choked, "He actually let you sleep on the foot bed...You are the eldest princess!"
Xiao Changning said, "There is only one big bed in this room, so I don't want to sleep with the **** if I don't sleep on the footbed?" As if remembering something, she turned her eyes and took Xia Lu's hand and asked, "That's right. Do you live in the side room of the West Wing, right? How many rooms are there in total?"
Xia Lu said, "Two rooms, one with Dongsui and I, and sister Qiuhong sleeps in the other alone."
"Exactly." Xiao Changning put her hair in a bun casually, got up and put on a new water-red jacket skirt, and ordered, "The three of you squeeze, sleep in one room, and vacate the other room for Ben. Palace residence."
"Princess, I'm afraid this is wrong?" Qiu Hong is a person next to the Queen Mother, and her mind is naturally not simple. She frowned slightly, "Newly married Yaner, living in a separate room, I am afraid that Admiral Shen will be dissatisfied and will shift the responsibility of His Royal Highness. "
Xiao Changning glanced calmly at the jade-faced maidservant, and smiled: "You are clever. You think long-term. Just after entering the door of the East Factory, you know how to sigh."
Knowing that she was arrogant, Qiu Hong lowered her head in a guilty manner.
"Shen Xuan is too dangerous. He has killed so many people, holding the emperor in order to make courtiers, and the palace is by his side. He is always worried that he will do something wrong and cause the murder. It would be better not to see." As he said, Xiao Changning got up and looked at him. In the bronze mirror, he straightened his clear and beautiful self, and sighed, "Open the door and have a meal."
Even if you die, you must also be a ghost.
The meal presented by Dongchang is very simple, not as rich as Xibi Palace, but it is worse than delicious. At this time, the mansion in the factory was quiet. Xiao Changning had eaten seven or eight minutes full. He faintly saw someone approaching outside the door. He looked up, but he was a juvenile **** in silver and brown clothes.
The little **** knocked on the door, clasped his fist and said, "Mrs. Admiral, Lin Huan begs to see you."
Lin Huan...
Xiao Changning vaguely heard his name—the youngest basalt officer in Dongchang, a young swordsman who became famous when he was young.
But she had never expected that the famous Xuanwu chieftain was a 17--8 year old boy with a bun-faced face, with a tender and white appearance and big clear and bright eyes. At this moment, Lin Huan stood outside the door, holding a scimitar against his shoulder as he pleased. The hair on the temples was shining in the morning light. He looked like a friendly boy next door. Factory knife guest.
Xiao Changning calmly put the porridge into his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Huan pursed his mouth and smiled, revealing a small dimple at the corner of his mouth, and said, "The factory supervisor asked me to ask Madam, is the food suitable for my taste?"
When Shen Xuan was mentioned, Xiao Changning was both afraid and hated. Afraid of his prestige, hate him for taking control of the court and doing all the absurd things in the world.
Xiao Changning lost his appetite, and simply wiped his fingers with a wet kerchief, and said with a smile, "Thanks to the admiral's blessing, although there are delicious dishes, I don't know the purpose."
Lin Huan didn't understand what she meant, she was still stunned, scratching her head for a while, and said, "I haven't read the book, I don't understand. Does the madam mean the food is delicious?"
Xiao Changning lost his temper and glanced at the young **** at the door, "Where is your admiral?"
Lin Huan said, "The factory supervisor is discussing matters in the council hall. Let me take my wife to the factory for transit and get familiar with the environment."
When she heard that Shen Xuan was not at home, Xiao Changning had a lot of courage, and even his tone was not so suppressed, "I don't need to turn around, and I don't want to be familiar with it."
"But…"
"No but."
"lady…"
"This palace is not a ‘Madam’, you must call me ‘His Royal Highness Princess’."
"..."
No matter how slow Lin Huan was, he also sensed Xiao Changning's weak hostility.
He decided to give up the verbal communication, and smiled, his innocent and harmless big eyes suddenly became sharp, his thumb was pressed on the scabbard, he drew the knife half an inch, and the cold light was like frost.
Lin Huan: "The factory superintendent said, if the wife is disobedient, let me act according to the chance."
Xiao Changning quickly put down the bowl and spoon, wiped the corners of his mouth, can bend and stretch out, "Daddy Lin, please lead the way, let's get acquainted with the environment."
With a sharp scabbard, Lin Huan instantly changed back to the harmless appearance of humans and animals before, and smiled shyly: "Madam, please come with me."
With cold hands and feet, Xiao Changning followed Lin Huan like a wandering soul.
Inside the house, Xia Lu and Dong Sui hugged and wept: "Hey, Dongchang Fanzi is too terrible!"
The courtyard of the East Factory was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. Lin Huan draped the scabbard as a pole on his shoulders, and hung her hands loosely on the scabbard. He walked backwards, with a youthful tone: "Here is my favorite. place."
Xiao Changning followed his sight and saw a red lacquered plaque standing under the eaves of a room covered with bacon and garlic, with the word'dining room' written in a big book, and could not help being speechless, and asked for a long while: " Do you like to eat?"
"That's natural. Lord Shen said,'Food is the heaven for the people.' If you can't eat delicious food, what's the point of living?" While talking, Lin Huan took two big meat buns from the steamer on the stove. I stuffed one at a time.
Xiao Changning was shocked. She looked at Lin Huan's swollen cheeks, and couldn't believe how his mouth stuffed a meaty bun that was bigger than a palm.
Seeing Xiao Changning looking straight at him, Lin Huan would obviously be wrong. He looked at the bun in his hand, then at Xiao Changning who was startled, and then at the bun in his hand, it seemed that he was struggling to weigh. After a long while, he made up his mind and reluctantly handed the bun to Xiao Changning: "Master Shen said, you are not as good as a chicken as a phoenix. You have to take care of you in everything...Bun for you."
Said to be a ‘Liu Mao Phoenix’, Xiao Changning was so angry that he was chest tight.
She didn't dare to scold Shen Xuan, she had to gritted her teeth and sneered, "My palace is not hungry, you eat."
Lin Huan's eyes lit up, and the bun turned into an afterimage, instantly swallowed by him. He licked his fingers intently. Seeing Xiao Changning staring at him, he pursed his lips and smiled embarrassedly: "I was so hungry when I was a child and obsessed with eating."
Xiao Changning was still immersed in Shen Xuan's sarcasm, and he was quite unhappy with Lin Huan, but when he heard him say ‘I was scared when I was a child’, I don’t know why, he felt a little softened.
The East Factory base is very large. After the two of them strolled around for half an hour, Xiao Changning was too tired to straighten up, but Lin Huan walked more and more vigorously, as light as a monkey.
"On the left is Cangshu Pavilion. In front is the school grounds, where Master Shen and we usually train fans." Lin Huan turned around and asked expectantly, "Madam, are you going to see it?"
"Don't go, my palace can't move anymore." Xiao Changning sat on the stone bench in the shade, rubbing her delicate ankles, "This palace has never traveled so far, not even a sedan chair. "
"There are only steeds and no sedan chairs in the factory. If you ride in a sedan chair, you will have nowhere to hide, and you will be easily assassinated by the enemy." Lin Huan said horrifying words seriously, and glanced at Xiao Changning, who was full of sweat, "Madam is too weak. Strengthen training."
"Train your head." Xiao Changning was tired and bored. He took out the embroidered handkerchief to wipe his sweat. He didn't have a good air. "This palace is the princess, not your subordinate."
Lin Huan said ‘oh’.
The sun was warm and the shadows of the trees were whirling, and two cats suddenly came from the eaves not far away.
Xiao Changning's eyes lit up, looking for fame: "Amber!"
"Meow~" The tortoiseshell cat that disappeared for a day stretched lazily on the ridge of the roof, and the black and yellow motley coat looked greasy and slippery in the sun.
Xiao Changning was eager to save the cat, and ran under the eaves without even thinking about it. He didn't notice that there was a plaque with three large lacquered gold characters on it hanging under the room.
"Wait, there is..."
Lin Huan wanted to stop, Xiao Changning had already entered the courtyard of the Chamber along the main road. The door in the hall was closed tightly. Xiao Changning stood under the eaves looking up at the cat walking among the rubble. He was about to call, and suddenly heard the rustling voices of the eunuchs.
"Suzaku improved this crossbow. It can fire ten arrows in a row, and the arrows are poisonous."
"Baihuyi has also developed a new poison that is colorless and tasteless. When the poison occurs, the internal organs are painful and the limbs twitch, but it can keep people awake. It is very suitable for interrogating prisoners."
"Supervisor of the factory, Azure Dragon Service has invented a new instrument of torture that can knock muscles and bones..."
"According to a report from the spies, Cai Feng of the Ministry of War was not very honest recently, and secretly recruited a group of gangsters to enter the city, plotting bad behavior, should we take action?"
"Yeah." The deep and familiar voice belonged to Shen Xuan, "It's not a day or two for Cai Feng to hide the evil intentions, it's time to move."
The autumn sun was shining, and Xiao Changning was shocked in a cold sweat.
Too... terrible! This group of Dongchang eunuchs actually talked about such a vicious topic in broad daylight!
"...It's the factory supervisor's meeting room." Lin Huan leaped over while biting her finger, and added the last half of the sentence.
Xiao Changning took a step back. Perhaps after hearing the movement, the voice in the room stopped abruptly. Then, Shen Xuan's low, cold voice came: "Who?!"
Shen Xuan opened the door and happened to see a back figure flying away.
A piece of exquisite embroidery was dropped on the steps, which obviously belonged to the only hostess of the East Factory.
He looked at Lin Huan, "Did she hear?"
"I was scared away when I heard a few words." Lin Huan looked at the direction Xiao Changning was leaving, wondering.
Shen Xuan didn't seem to worry that Xiao Changning had heard the secrets, she only bent over to pick up the pearl-colored veil that had fallen in front of the steps, and for a long time, Fang said lightly, "It's not peaceful these days, follow her."
The author has something to say: Changning (frightened): This palace knows too much! What if Shen Xuan wants to kill me! !
Shen Xu (beckoning): Come over for dinner.
Changning (tearful eyes): When I finish writing...this suicide note, thank you.
