Chapter 46
“You ……” Aimi was teased by him, but she felt happy in her heart. Zhou Xian Yang continued to hold her hand, the sweetness of the newlyweds overflowing.
Who would have thought that the show wasn’t over. Another big man came up and cut two ropes.
“Alas, how is that little girl going to get down?”
I saw the man crouch down and hold the bottom of the wooden pole and pull it out, and the pole grew higher and higher.
The original wooden pole was inserted into the stage below the fixed, now he pulled out, more and more unstable. The two little girls stacked on top of it, under the colored lights, fluttered and looked like they were about to fall down.
“Oops, it’s going to fall down!”
“Stand away, it’s going to kill us.”
The crowd shouted, but no one moved, who knew which way it would fall? As Rong Xiangmian became more and more nervous, Zhou Xianyang whispered in her ear, “It’s okay, it’s called a roof pole.”
“Top bar?”
Sang-mi saw the big man holding the wooden pole out from under the stage, and then slowly stood up holding the pole, holding the bottom of the pole in his hands.
“Wow ……” the crowd a gasp.
Then , see the man put the wooden pole again high, a little bit lifted over the chest, lifted over the shoulder, lifted over the head.
“Great!”
This person’s arm strength is amazing, surprisingly unarmed to lift up such a heavy wooden pole, not to mention that there are still two people standing at the top, able to keep it from falling down.
Finally, the man threw the wood vigorously into the air.
The crowd was shocked, only to see that the man shortened his body, stood to the position where the wooden pole fell, and used his head to catch the bottom of the wooden pole steadily.
“Yes!”
That person, in the midst of the crowd’s applause, topped the high wooden pole, and the two little girls, walking casually on the stage. The little girls were also changing various movements on top, which made the people shriek in amazement.
The gong sounded sharply, the audience was excited, see such a powerful, have to pay money.
Rong Xiangmian took out his purse again and rewarded him with a piece of silver.
“It’s only one program, and you’re so generous. This one night, see how many wallets you have enough?” Zhou Xian Yang reminded with a smile.
Rong Xiangyang muttered, “Are you thinking that I won’t be able to live a family life?”
“No, Your Highness can reward me however she likes, it’s enough to have one stingy one in the family.”
Xiangmian gave him an angry look and couldn’t help but laugh out again. Fourth Highness, although he has suffered a lot, he is a person who can laugh and make a mess.
The crowd was bustling, crowded and noisy, being in the middle of the night with so many strangers was something that had never been experienced before, but with him by his side, Rong Xiangmian was at ease and not afraid at all.
The performance on this stage is not yet completely finished, Xiangmian’s purse is really empty.
She is always in the palace, food, clothing and supplies have a share of the regulations, there is no place to spend the silver, it is not easy to have the opportunity to “spend money like dirt”, happy.
After watching the show for a long time, Xiangmian felt tired of standing, and Zhou Xian Yang proposed to go to the restaurant to pick a seat, so that she could see the performance from a high place, and also have some snacks.
Rong Xiangmian’s eyes immediately lit up and she agreed.
Zhou Xian Yang smiled and led her out of the crowd to the restaurant, where she asked for an elegant room with a good view, a few new dishes, and a jar of the finest Daughter’s Red.
Seeing that Rong Xiang is in the mood, he takes the lead and toasts Yu Wang: “I’ve spent my silver, thank you for the banquet, sir.”
“This is truly the most expensive cup of wine I’ve ever had.” Zhou Xian Yang smiled and drank it all in one go.
“Hmph!” Rong Xiangyang felt that this man had never lost a battle with his mouth.
The two of them drank and chatted for a while, while standing by the window and watching the hundred arts performances down below. Later it developed into sitting by the window, drinking and chatting while watching and enjoying the moon, without realizing it was late at night.
Rong Xiangmian didn’t know whether he was sleepy or drunk, and felt that his brain didn’t listen to him.
Struggling, she leaned over to Yu Wang’s side: “Your Highness, let’s go home.” Before she could finish her words, she passed out.
Zhou Xian Yang hugged her, lowered his head and kissed the crown princess’s hair, asked for a guest room in a restaurant, and placed her to sleep. He himself asked for another jar of wine and sat alone by the window of the guest room. At first, he used a wine cup, then a jug, and then he picked up the altar and drank directly from it.
The full moon hangs high, the stars fill the sky, such a night, mother’s place can also be seen, right?
I wonder if Xiao Bei has arrived yet.
He glanced at the sweetly dreaming princess in the darkness, and his heart felt guilty: I’m sorry for using you, for using your mother.
I also want to put you at the top of the list, but, I have more important things.
Unable to say exactly what emotions he was feeling, Zhou Xian Yang’s heart was irritated.
He really envied Wangfei, being able to fall back to sleep. And even though he hadn’t closed his eyes since yesterday, he still couldn’t sleep peacefully at the moment, and he couldn’t even get drunk after drinking so much, nor could he sleep.
Seeing that it was going to be summer, Yu Jing only had the same quilt that she had covered for years. Covered and hot, do not cover and cold, back and forth, tossed to midnight still not asleep.
Amber, who served her, struggled to get up when she heard the commotion next door, and lit a candle to see her.
“I’m fine, Amber, you rest, put out the candle, save some, don’t come to the time when you need to illuminate the candle is not used.”
Amber sniffed and blew out the candle, still with her familiarity with these two small rooms, she touched Yu Jing’s bedside.
“Does Your Highness have a headache again?”
Yu Jing shook her head and realizing that she couldn’t see, she said, “It’s nothing, it’s just that my heart is beating so hard that I can’t sleep.”
Amber then said, “It’s just that these villains worship high and tread low, even the Empress Mother’s daily usage is deducted, and on a hot day, they give us rancid meals and don’t even give us a fan.”
“The Imperial Tomb guards are the people promoted by Marquis Yongan, naturally they are looking at the face of the Zhang family to act. Torturing me is to curry favor with the Zhang family, they know it very well in their hearts.”
Amber was about to say something else, but suddenly heard disorganized footsteps outside, and busily said, “No good, it’s coming again.”
Yu Jing hurriedly pushed her, “Quickly go.”
The two immediately put their clothes on in the dark.
Not long after, the outer door was slammed open and a group of soldiers entered the house with torches.
“Search me!” Yu Jing hadn’t even finished putting her clothes on before the soldiers barged into the inner room.
She was already tired, from the initial indignation to the numbness she felt now, she got down and shuffled her shoes, pulling her hands on the outer garment draped over her body and waiting sideways for them to search.
The only chest and cupboard had been knocked to the floor, and the bed, washed white, had been thrown to the floor. The whole bedstead was removed.
It was a bigger bout than even before, when they wouldn’t have gone to Amber’s room to make a scene. This time, Amber was terrified.
Not wanting to provoke them into punching and kicking, Amber didn’t dare to say a word, but just walked to Yu Jing’s side and wrapped her arm around her, shivering.
The house was just this big, within reach of the naked eye, and soon there was nothing to search.
These two women and extremely well-behaved, do not struggle and do not resist and do not question, there is really nothing to pick fault with.
The leader went over and grabbed Amber’s neck, “Did you see anyone suspicious at night?”
Amber desperately shook her head, Yu Jing then became anxious: “No, once it was dark, we went to sleep, if there were suspicious people, we would have yelled!”
“Hmph! How can you believe the words of a black-hearted poisonous woman like you?”
“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. Trespassing on the imperial tomb is a big crime, if you can’t catch anyone, your sins as imperial tomb guards are not small. If you have the energy to waste time with the two of us here, why don’t you go outside and do a proper search and arrest.”
That soldier’s face twitched and immediately let go of Amber, shining his knife sheath at Yu Jing’s stomach and vigorously stabbing her to the ground.
“Niang Niang!” Amber flung herself at her side, “Empress, are you alright?!”
The leading soldier laughed, “Empress? Still think you’re the Empress in Kun Ning Palace?”
Someone came in and reminded him in his ear, the man’s complexion slightly moved, he was about to leave and then indignantly turned back to let out a harsh sentence, “You guys wait!”
After saying that, he led the people to leave the hut and continued the search.
Amber cried and helped Yu Jing up, she said back that it was fine: stabbed with a knife sheath, but not a knife cut.
So many years, she has long been accustomed to, and not like when in the palace pampered, fine skin.
The house is back to darkness.
“Go light the candles and let’s clean up.”
The two people put together and built the bed board piece by piece, patted the quilt clean and put it back on the bed, and put the box back away.
After a few moments of tossing and turning, they were about to rest again when they realized a dark figure standing by the window.
“Who are you?” Yu Jing lowered her voice and asked. Could this be the person who had trespassed into the imperial tomb?
The man didn’t approach, he just knelt down, “I’ve met Empress Yu, I’m King Yu’s personal follower, and I’ve been ordered to come and see the Empress.”
