152. Prepare a Fishing Net for Me
"Slave/I'll bow to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"
The seven palace maids and eunuchs in Cangyu Palace knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and were anxious. The emperor suddenly visited and Concubine Jing had not come back yet, but what should I do?
"Well, get up. Where is Concubine Jing?" Emperor Zongzheng asked in confusion without seeing Ming Xixi coming out to greet him. His eyes turned around, and the Cangyu Palace seemed to have become different.
"Go back to the emperor, Concubine Jing...she went to the Empress." Xiaochun's mind was quickly turned and he quickly answered.
"Oh, how long have you been there? When will you come back?" Emperor Zongzheng asked while walking around. Xiaochun winked at Xiaokai, glanced at the wall behind the palace. Xiaokai met and quietly retreated.
Xiaochun followed the emperor and replied: "Go back to the emperor, Concubine Jing has been there for a long time, but she didn't say when she will come back."
"Who do you explain to me what's going on with the plaque at the gate?" Emperor Zongzheng finally discovered the changes in Cangyu Hall: there was an extra big pit, which was filled with water covering the feet. There were a few ropes between the two ancient pine trees, and twine lines as thick as fingers were woven between the ropes, crisscrossing like fishing nets.
When Xiaochun and others heard this, they felt bad. How could they answer this? The six of them looked at each other and no one said anything.
Seeing this, Eunuch Zhen shouted and said, "The Emperor asked, why don't you answer? You are so idle that you haven't received punishment for too long, right?"
Xiaosheng's legs trembled, his face suddenly pale, he received the punishment. He still remembers that he was punished for twenty-plate butts a few years ago. He couldn't lie flat for a month, sitting in a seat and walking. Xiaoke saw that everyone dared not speak, thinking that Concubine Jing had that token? He told the truth that the seven of them could still be exempted from punishment. Concubine Jing had that token to protect her, so there should be nothing wrong, so he said: "Go back to the emperor, it was the plaque that Concubine Jing changed. Concubine Jing said..."
"Huh? What did you say?" Emperor Zong Zheng looked at Xiao Ke and the others in scrutiny, his face was not angry and powerful. His eyes gradually fell on the other five people, and he turned his head to ask Master Zhen, "I just saw that there were seven people, why is there one missing?"
When Eunuch Zhen looked carefully, he found that there was really a missing one Xiao Kai. "Your Majesty, there is indeed a missing one slave."
Xiaochun and others turned pale. Xiaochun suddenly shook his eyes at Xiaomeng. Helplessly, the other party had his head hanging and didn't see her movements at all. However, Master Zhen saw it and asked quietly: "Xiaochun, are you corny?"
Xiaochun was shocked and said hurriedly: "No, it's sand that blows into his eyes. I want to blink out the sand."
"Where has Xiaokai gone?"
On the other side of the palace, Xiao Kai walked around anxiously. Concubine Jing went to and from Cangyu Hall, he climbed over the wall from here. He could not leave for too long to avoid being discovered and made the emperor suspicious. He muttered in his heart: Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing, come back quickly! Bodhisattva, please let Concubine Jing come back quickly!
Ming Xixi just crossed the large wall of the palace and suddenly sneezes twice. He touched his nose and thought to himself who cares about me? He floated all the way and approached the outer periphery of Cangyu Hall. He made a hundred-meter sprint and jumped onto the high wall. He saw Xiao Kai standing below with his hands folded and kept muttering something. She stood on the high wall, spreading her legs and putting her hands on her hips, and pointing to the lower body with the other hand and shouting loudly: "Ba! Who are you? You dare to invade my Cangyu treasure land in broad daylight and take your life!"
One of them flew down, picked up Xiao Kai's clothes on the back with one hand, and flew forward in front of him. Xiao Kai shouted anxiously: "Concubine Jing, stop making trouble, the emperor is here!"
Ming Xixi was so shocked that she let go. Xiao Kai was thrown to the ground innocently. He got up and looked at Ming Xixi with resentment and said, "Concubine Jing, you will let go next time and sue it, it will hurt me to death."
"Is it that exaggerated? I'm flying at a low altitude, less than two meters above the ground, which can make your fat body hurt?" Ming Xixi glanced at Xiaoli's chubby body and asked while walking: "How long have you been here? Have you left?"
"The emperor has been here for a while and asks about the name of the plaque and the hall. Concubine Jing, please go there quickly." Xiao Kai patted the dust on his body and replied afterwards.
"You didn't give me away, did you?" Ming Xixi suddenly turned around and stared at him and asked.
Xiao Kai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Jing, we will never give you away. Xiaochun said you're going to the Queen."
"Uh, okay, I understand." Ming Xixi turned around and trotted all the way, jumped onto the high wall, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Xiao Kai walked forward for a while, suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he turned around and took a detour and walked towards the toilet.
"The emperor is here, Xi'er is here, and I'm here to accept the emperor. Please forgive me." Ming Xixi walked into Cangyu Hall from Zhengda Gate, came to Emperor Zongzheng, knocked his knees, smiled in a naughty and clear and sweet voice.
Since the passing of the prince, Emperor Zongzheng has never summoned Ming Xixi. Now he has not seen each other for a while, but he feels that this little girl is becoming more and more unique and cannot move her eyes. Suddenly, he recalls the funny scene of the little girl rushing into the imperial study ten years ago like a gust of wind. His displeasure in his heart was relieved by two points, and he said in a deep voice: "Xixi, where did you go just now?"
Ming Xixi said, "Go to chat with the Queen for a while, and chat with a few little sparrows on the way for a while."
"Oh? Xixi still knows how to sing birds?" Emperor Zong Zheng asked in surprise, just not asking her to be a fair man and exempt from gifts.
Ming Xixi looked down at the ground, raised his innocent eyes and looked at Emperor Zongzheng: "Emperor, Xi'er's skirt is dirty, so she is not beautiful."
Emperor Zongzheng glanced at her sideways and said, "Oh, I forgot, let's calm down."
Ming Xixi immediately stood up, patted his knees and skirt, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please sit in the hall."
Emperor Zongzheng waved his hand and said slowly: "I see this place is pretty good, so I just sent someone to move the tables and chairs here."
"Okay, no problem." Ming Xixi turned around and waved at Xiaomian and others, "You go and move the tables and chairs out, Xiaoru is responsible for serving tea."
"Yes, Concubine Jing." Everyone spoke in unison and hurriedly went there.
Emperor Zongzheng pointed to the big pit over there and said, "Xixi, what is that?"
Ming Xixi smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, that's the pond, it's a comfortable place to raise fish by yourself."
Emperor Zongzheng raised his thick eyebrows: "Oh? Then why didn't I see the water full or the fish?"
"Your Majesty, that's because of the pond. In time, Xi'er will definitely raise the freshest and healthiest fish, so that the emperor can taste it."
Xiaochun and others quickly brought tables and chairs, Xiaoru brought hot tea, Emperor Zongzheng sat down, faced the rope fishing net between the ancient pine, and asked again: "What is that?"
"That's a hammock, lying on it and sleeping like a god dreaming. Master, do you want to try it?" Ming Xixi introduced.
Emperor Zong Zheng said in surprise: "How can you sleep with people?"
Ming Xixi immediately walked over and said, "Xi'er demonstrates it to you." After saying that, he grabbed one side with one hand, jumped gently, fell into the rope net, and tossed and stumbled for a few times, Meimei lay down, shaking and feeling uncomfortable.
Eunuch Zhen said, "Your Majesty, this thing is quite fresh. Why don't you ask Concubine Jing to prepare one for the emperor and hang it outside the imperial study room for rest and fun."
Emperor Zongzheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Xixi, let me prepare one tomorrow so that I can enjoy it."
"Yes, the emperor." Ming Xixi smiled and deserved to be happy. He couldn't help but complain to the old eunuch, why do you talk so much? I wonder how much manual labor it takes to weave such a net?
"Xixi, tell me why you changed the name of the plaque?" Emperor Zong Zheng felt relieved while drinking the fragrant tea. For some reason, this little girl seemed to have a festive magic on her body, which could dispel his displeasure.
Ming Xixi also sat down, took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, that plaque is written by the emperor. How can Xi'er be replaced? It's just moving a seat. Look, isn't it still hanging there?" After that, he pointed his hand.
Emperor Zongzheng turned his head and looked towards the gate. He saw three big characters Cangyu Hall hanging above the gate. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. There were two plaques hanging on one gate and two names, and only this girl could think of them.
"Xixi, I think you haven't stopped. I suddenly worry that in a few years, my palace will definitely change you."
Ming Xixi smiled and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, don't praise Xi'er, Xi'er will not be able to find Bei."
Emperor Zongzheng couldn't help but smile and said with annoyance: "You little man, how can I deal with you?"
