As soon as I heard this sound, my brows frowned.
I am not unfamiliar with this voice. It is Xiaolian, the personal maid of Han Ruoshi. She had not seen her come out for a long time after she was scolded. I didn’t expect that she would hear her voice again in this lively place today.
I think it should be the one who is protecting her lady.
She had just finished saying this, and immediately there was another noise ahead. Looking at Pei Yuanxiu's back, I could see his impatientness, but for some reason, he actually came here to "dissuade the fight".
After a while, I got on the path.
As soon as I stepped on, I felt my feet slip. Because there was no one passing by for too long, there was still some slippery moss left on the bluestone slab of this path. When I saw that I was almost unable to stand steadily, Huazhu and Yunshan, who had been following me, came forward to hold my arm and said, "Miss Yan, don't go there."
I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, I'll take a look."
After saying that, he took them forward together.
There was almost only two people walking side by side, but now there were seven or eight people all of them, all wearing red and green, and they were reflected by the sun, which looked quite beautiful.
However, when I heard the noisy sound, I didn’t want to see the scenery any better.
I saw the tall woman I saw that day, Gardi, the sister of Xie Houqi. She stood among the crowd, standing out from the crowd. Everyone around me pointed at each other's nose and cursed and clamored. Only she blinked and looked here, and then there, as if she was completely unrelated.
However, she is too tall and no matter how she stands in the middle, it seems to be in the center of a storm.
And standing opposite her was Han Ruoshi.
I had just heard Han Ruoshi's voice, but Pei Yuanxiu had already walked over, and her voice lowered. Only Xiaolian behind him was still arguing with the young women behind Gardi. When Han Ruoshi saw Pei Yuanxiu approaching, he gently reached out and patted Xiaolian. Xiaolian turned around and looked at her, her face suddenly turned pale and she hurriedly closed her mouth.
At this time, Pei Yuanxiu walked in front of them.
Xiaolian was so scared that she had already shrank behind Han Ruoshi and whispered: "Mr., Master..."
When the other young and beautiful girls saw him coming, they put away their fierce and arrogant appearance just now and hurriedly leaned over to salute him: "Young Master."
Gardi was the slowest reaction until Pei Yuanxiu had already walked in front of them, and then took a step back and practiced etiquette at Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly when he saw her, and then turned to look at Han Ruoshi, who was standing on the other side and was aggrieved, and then said coldly: "What are you doing here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaolian immediately raised her head.
This girl is naturally smart, but now she is not in Jinling. Moreover, when she was in Yuwen Mansion, she was locked up because she was against me. After entering Beijing, Han Ruoshi was treated coldly again. She no longer dared to be as arrogant as before. When she was facing Pei Yuanxiu, she was so scared that she swallowed the words to her mouth again and lowered her head timidly.
On the other side, a young woman standing behind Gardi said, "Young Master, you are here just to see it. Who knows that you will meet such a arrogant and unreasonable person!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other people immediately agreed-upon-
"That's right, this place is not hers."
"Why should you show off your power here?"
"Look at how you are still domineering now!"
...
Listening to these almost familiar disputes, I couldn't help but feel a little headache. No matter how many generations this imperial city has gone through or how many people have changed, the same drama will be repeated again and again, and it seems that there will never be a day that will stop.
However, some people are really happy with this.
Thinking of this, I turned to look at Han Ruoshi. One thing that surprised me was that she didn't immediately argue with these people. Not only did she not speak, but even Xiaolian behind her heard those people's words and immediately wanted to say anything, but she reached out to stop her.
She stood there, her eyes red, and said softly: "Yuan Xiu, I just--"
Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head timidly.
This is something I often saw in Jinling in the past.
However, when she was in Jinling, she was often lingering in sick bed, her body was thin and slender, and she was still a girl before she got married, so she looked awkward and looked awkward. But now - after all, she has been pregnant for several months, and her big belly and her expression of affliction gives people an indescribable weirdness.
When I saw her like that, I felt a little uncomfortable for her.
Pei Yuanxiu looked at her and didn't say anything.
However, the girls from Shengjing kept chattering, only Gardi, although he was the tallest and most conspicuous, did not say a word, but looked quietly at Pei Yuanxiu's face, as if he was looking at something and observing something.
Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak, and when the noisy people felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he slowly calmed down. When you looked at me and I looked at you, he said coldly: "I'm not asking why you are quarreling here. I'm asking you, what are you doing here?"
“…”
"I have said a long time ago that no one is allowed to come in this place."
“…”
"Did you forget it or can't understand?"
The women were shocked. They thought he was here to "preside over justice", but they didn't expect that what he cared about was not why these women quarreled and what they were like, but that they had angered him when they arrived in this place.
For a moment, the few women who were still clamoring just now all became quiet.
Both of them looked at Gardi, but Gardi was still quiet, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with her. One of them was the youngest, with the most beautiful eyebrows and eyes, probably only at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Because of his youth and beauty, he was inevitably too popular. He stepped forward and pouted and said, "But young master, we are just--"
Before she could finish her words, Pei Yuanxiu turned to look at her.
He stood with his back to me. I couldn't see the expression on his face, nor did he see his eyes clearly at this moment. But from the little girl's sudden silence and lowered her head in shock, she could probably guess how sharp and cold his eyes were at this moment.
Suddenly, the people around him were so arrogant that they dared not let out a sip.
Pei Yuanxiu glanced at them coldly and said, "I don't care what you want to do or what reason, but if anyone dares to disobey my orders, I won't care about what reason you have!"
The people around him were timid and all lowered their heads.
He looked at them coldly, then raised his head and looked forward. Between the branches where the new buds were sprouting, he could faintly see the shadow of the Linshui Pagoda. I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't been able to enter again. Now, I just hope that this place can continue to be quiet and no such people will disturb the tranquility here.
Seeing that the people around him dared not say anything, Pei Yuanxiu turned around and said coldly: "Everyone comes with me."
As soon as he turned around, he saw me standing on the other side of the path, followed by Hua Zhu and Yunshan. He frowned slightly and walked up: "What are you doing here?"
I looked at the beauties from Shengjing who were obviously unhesitant behind him, and Han Ruoshi, who was pale and did not dare to say anything from beginning to end, and said, "Oh, I heard that something happened here, so I'll take a look... Fortunately, nothing big happened."
"You don't have to come see."
"oh."
I was very obedient. I also heard that he had just got angry because these people came to the Linshui Pagoda, so I stopped saying anything. He directly pinched my arm and said, "Go back."
"Um."
Although the bluestone slab under my feet was not hot yet, his words were the future imperial edict, and no one dared to disobey. I nodded and was pulled by him. When I took one or two steps, I couldn't help but look back. The familiar outline of the Linshui Pagoda was already in sight as the tree branches intertwined.
This place was once the place where the Empress Dowager practiced.
Pei Yuanhao closed this place and no longer allowed people to get close to it. Naturally, it was because of the indescribable and unknown mother-son relationship between him and the empress dowager. He felt guilty after all, so he didn't want to come here to touch his memory... But why did Pei Yuanxiu block this place? He didn't even care about why these people quarrel, and wanted to drive them all away?
Although I know that he never wants to put too much energy on something unnecessary, this time it still surprised me.
Linshui Pagoda...
I thought silently in my heart and slowly turned my head, and Gardi, Han Ruoshi and others naturally followed silently.
I heard them walking behind me, although I was still a little dissatisfied, but after all, I was afraid that I would do something extraordinary and make Pei Yuanxiu angry, and my footsteps were very quiet.
Just as we were about to walk from this path to the front road, a low cry suddenly came from behind us-
"ah!"
Pei Yuanxiu and I turned our heads at the same time and saw Han Ruoshi falling to the ground somehow.
The women walking behind her were all so scared that they stopped and took several steps back.
Han Ruoshi fell to the ground with a pale face and said in pain: "I-I-"
