Chapter 128: The Tragic Queen vs. the Deeply Affectionate Emperor (2)
Outside the silver shop. Shi
Yi in the sedan chair felt a little bored and asked, "Is mother not back yet?"
The maid Jin Zi, who was waiting outside the sedan chair, heard her mistress asking the question and quickly replied, "Maybe the madam is still choosing jewelry."
"Mother, you've been in the silver shop for an hour or two and you've forgotten your daughter."
As soon as Shi Yi said this, Jin Zi, who was outside the sedan chair, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "If I had known earlier, I would have followed the madam's wish and followed her in. Anyway, it's a few hours inside and a few hours outside."
"You're so funny." Shi Yi laughed, "If you stay in that silver shop for a few hours, I guarantee your legs will be sore. I don't know who said last time that we should never go into that silver shop again."
"Oh, my dear mistress, please forgive me." Jin Zi couldn't argue and quickly begged for mercy.
Shi Yi lifted a corner of the sedan curtain with his hand, looked at the bustling street market, and sighed: "What a lively scene."
"If the young lady wants to go out for a walk, I promise not to tell the lady. Just consider it as my atonement." Jin Zi was very tactful.
"No, I'd better wait for my mother to come back and go back to the mansion together." Shi Yi reluctantly put down the sedan curtain.
The young man looked at the closed sedan curtain, thinking of her expression of admiration and then loneliness, and suddenly thought of himself who was usually detained in the palace and listless, and had a little affection for this unfamiliar cousin.
At this time, Dong Boshu and the maid Juan'er, who had not seen the young man move for a long time, decided to move in advance.
This place is only a few shops away from the horse farm. If the frightened horse rushes over, it will cause less harm to people, and it is also more reasonable.
The two followed the original plan. The maid Juan'er went to disturb the horse, while Dong Boshu, who was dressed as a man, went directly to the young man.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the horse is frightened..." The owner of the horse farm shouted behind his servant.
He was so heartbroken, this is the most valuable horse in his horse farm. I don't know what happened today, he suddenly went crazy.
"Ah..." When the boy heard the voice and was about to hide, he saw the sedan chair parked outside the silver shop, and immediately changed his mind and ran over.
"Quick, go up and protect..." The guards who turned into civilians rushed up quickly.
Facing the crowd that suddenly rushed up, Dong Boshu was unexpectedly squeezed to the side of the street, and was stepped on by passers-by who were fleeing for their lives. He looked embarrassed.
The frightened horse didn't care, and when it saw the sedan chair parked in front of the silver shop, it roared and screamed and rushed over, raising its legs to step on it.
The driver and the maid Jinzi who carried the sedan chair began to run away out of human instinct.
Shi Yi in the sedan chair was motionless. She was betting that the boy would definitely come to save her.
At the critical moment, the young man quickly reached out his hand and grabbed her, "The horse is frightened, run."
The next moment, the horse trampled the sedan chair and continued to run forward. The royal guards who had transformed into civilians caught the reins and then cut it into pieces.
The young man looked at the horse meat still twitching in the blood pool. He was afraid that the little girl would be scared, so he pressed her into his arms and comforted her, "Don't be afraid."
At the same time, he swallowed hard. He almost died at the horse's hoof just now. It was really thrilling.
The civilians around who witnessed the horse being cut into pieces began to scream, and the timid ones vomited directly. The owner of the horse farm saw that his horse, which was still alive in the last second, turned into a pile of horse meat in the next second, and he knelt down and cried.
"The young master is frightened." Guard Li Min turned the sharp knife behind his back and knelt down to apologize.
"Get up. There are so many people talking, don't reveal your identity." The young man took two deep breaths, "Send someone to clean up the scene first."
"My horse, my horse." The owner of the horse farm cried and screamed, "Pay compensation, you pay compensation."
The guard Li Min didn't want to get entangled with him, and threw a silver ingot, "Take it, it's enough."
Today, the emperor is out of the palace, and no one should know. Such an accident happened in the street, it is hard for people not to think of deliberate murder. Going back, he has to report everything to the empress dowager in detail.
"Thank you for saving me." Shi Yi was suffocated in his arms for a long time and was a little breathless.
The little emperor then remembered the little cousin he had saved with his life, and quickly let her go, saying proudly: "It's your blessing to meet me today."
Shi Yi smiled, and her white teeth were exposed in the sun, extremely bright, "Thank you cousin."
"Have you seen me before?" The little emperor originally wanted to make up an identity and let her repay the grace of saving her life.
"Isn't the white jade dragon-patterned jade pendant worn on my cousin's waist?" Shi Yi took out the green jade phoenix-patterned jade pendant from her waist and showed it to him. "Mother said that only my cousin has a jade pendant that can match mine."
"What a clever girl." The little emperor didn't expect her to be so smart, and he was a little overjoyed.
At the same time, the two jade pendants in his hands really fit together, without any difference.
The crowd gradually subsided, and Dong Boshu got up from the ground. Just in time, she saw the boy and the girl confessing their love to each other. She felt resentful in her heart that she had made wedding clothes for others in vain, and she limped away step by step.
Without this young man, she could still find someone else, but it would be bad if the owner of the horse farm found out that it was her and the maid Juan'er who did
it. "My child, what's wrong with you? Your hair is messed up." Ma Jia, who had just picked out the jewelry, was immediately anxious when she saw her daughter in this state.
"Aunt." The little emperor who was actively ignored took the initiative to greet her to gain a sense of existence.
"Emperor..." Ma Jia looked at the busy street and changed her tone surprisingly quickly, "Nephew, why are you here?"
"Mother, the horse was frightened just now and almost trampled my daughter to death. It was my cousin who risked his life to save me." Shi Yi held her mother's hand, "I'm thinking about how to repay my cousin." It
was the first time that the little emperor acted as a hero and saved a damsel in distress, and Shi Yi flattered him so well, which made her feel elated and had a better impression of him. However, she still said politely, "We are all family relatives. How can we talk about repaying each other? That would be too formal."
"Nephew, why don't you go to your aunt's house and sit for a while? In the evening, your aunt will send someone to take you home?" It was also the first time that Ma Jia had to deal with this nephew face to face, so she could only be polite again and again.
"Go ahead." Shi Yi opened his eyes wide, with bright anticipation, "I have a lot of Western stuff, I'm sure you'll like it."
"Since my cousin and aunt have invited me so warmly, I won't refuse." The little emperor's eyes lit up instantly when he heard "Western stuff".
He has always been interested in these Western objects, but the queen mother liked to force him to study and didn't let him play with things that would "dishearten him". Now, without the queen mother's restraint, he can play freely, how can he not be excited.
Seeing that the two children became familiar with each other so quickly, Ma Jia couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.
