Spring Forest Evening

Zhou Heng in the water shivered with fright, while Nanny Shen in the water pavilion was speechless in her heart: natural disaster?Could it be that the heavens thundered and chose a place on purpose?How could it be such a coincidence that Liufengge and Wanqingyuan, two places in Prince Jing's mansion, were chosen in such a huge capital city?

But I am speechless, after all, I am not doing enough to rescue the disaster, so how to explain to the princess and the prince at that time, Shen Momo really has no idea at all. After hearing the words of the third princess, she immediately bent her waist even more, and her voice became more sincere and fearful:

"Yes, the maidservant should plead guilty to the prince and the princess, but I also ask the princess to forgive me. It is really not suitable to stay here for a long time. When the princess arrives, I must blame the maidservant. After all, she is also the old lady of the palace. The Way of the Guest—”

The voice of the third princess also followed, and she interrupted her words very bluntly: "Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you. When Sister Yi comes over, I will explain to her. Alas, speaking of it, this Shangyunchi was only visited by Bengong a few times when he was a child, and it has been so many years, but it’s a pity that if it’s dark and rainy today, he can’t really see it, but the scenery is still pretty good, so let’s take a look at it when Ah Fu comes back tomorrow!”

While talking, he stood up and made a gesture to look out of the waterside pavilion, and the two guards hurried to the side, so Zhou Heng, who was under the lotus leaves outside, saw the lantern light flashing, and caught off guard the true face of the third princess.

Under the lights, I saw a girl who was about my age, dressed in a neat outfit, which looked like bright red, with a simple hair accessory on her head, tall and thin, not much different from the guard next to her by visual inspection. Standing on the water platform with his hands, his face could not be seen clearly because of the backlight.

Zhou Heng was somewhat disappointed. He thought she was a princess, and the other party should be dressed in palace attire like in TV dramas, but it turned out to be quite simple, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly at the moment. Didn't Shen Fu mean that she Is it heroic?

"Princess, step carefully." Shen Nai behind hurriedly followed: "It has just rained, and the wooden table is very slippery."

The third princess ignored her, and waved her hands to signal the two guards around her to back down, then looked up to the sky with their hands behind their hands, then looked down at the lotus bushes in front of them and said, "Not bad, these lotus flowers grow better than Tai Ye." Good in the pool!"

As soon as the words were finished, she stretched out her hand and suddenly pointed to the direction where Zhou Heng was hiding: "There!" The other hand spread out and stretched upwards to the back, and the guard next to her quickly handed her a lantern.

The third princess took it without looking back, then raised the lantern over her head and poked her head into the lotus bushes for a closer look, with a very serious look as if she had discovered something.

Under the lotus leaf, Zhou Heng, who had originally planned to see her face clearly, was so frightened that he froze, and now he couldn't hurry away, so he had to lower his head and hold the lotus stalk in his hand, trying not to let her go. I made no movement because of trembling.

Fortunately, there is still a little rain at this moment, and water drips from the eaves of the water pavilion occasionally. Accompanied by the faint voice of people outside the wall, it is not too quiet.

Just because he didn't dare to move, Zhou Heng felt that this moment was as long as thousands of years. It didn't take long, and soon he heard the voice of the third princess: "See? There is a lotus pod over there! "

Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief soundlessly. At the same time, a water bird flew up from the lotus leaves on the other side, and successfully diverted everyone's attention. The voice said: "When tomorrow dawns, the servant will let someone pick the lotus pod and send it to the Second Highness's residence."

The three princesses chuckled lightly:

"Okay, then I will taste the lotus pods in Shangyun Pond and see which one tastes better than the one in Taiye Pond!"

Nanny Shen didn't know how to answer these words, even though it was raining and the wind was blowing at night, her back was wet, and she had been busy for a long time before, after all, her age was not forgiving, and she had already had a headache after encountering such a calamity Dazed, he is already trying his best to hold on, and he only hopes that the princess will arrive quickly so that he can take over the big Buddha in front of him.

Who would have imagined that when it was thundering and raining, someone would take advantage of the chaos to set Miss Biao on fire, and Chuntao, crying and soaking wet, came to tell herself that someone took advantage of this thunderstorm night to attack His Excellency Liu Feng, and she felt unbelievable .

When I saw the tragedy of Liufeng Pavilion with my own eyes, I secretly felt lucky in my heart. After all, this Liufeng Pavilion was independent by the water, even if it burned down, it did not affect other buildings in the palace. The three girls in Fengge, especially Miss Biao, are said to be unharmed.

Thinking of what Miss Biao said in Chuntao's ear, Nanny Shen pretended to call out "Spring Tea" to the already burnt Liufeng Pavilion, hoping to fall into the hearts of those who cared. In his ears, he thought that the matter had succeeded, and it was burned to such an extent anyway, it is not impossible for you to say that there are no bones left.

Unexpectedly, he was directing people to deal with the aftermath, but a guard ran over to report that the third princess had rushed into the mansion with someone, and that the third princess happened to live in the second prince's mansion at the back at night, and someone in the mansion saw lightning strike Prince Jing's mansion A certain place was on fire, so he acted urgently, knowing that Shen Fu had gone to the palace now, and there was no serious master in the palace, so he brought people over to put out the fire.

There is nothing wrong with this statement, and the third princess has such an identity. Although Shen Momo wanted to stay longer by the Shangyun Pool to find Zhou Heng, she had to take someone to meet the third princess first. Princess, Liufeng Pavilion is hopeless anyway, and everyone has been taken away, so if Miss Biao wants to come out of that hiding place, no one will see her.

When Nanny Shen got out of the garden and looked up, she was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating—

Another part of the mansion is on fire, and it seems to be in the direction of Wan Qing Yuan!

It seems that what the third princess's people saw was not the Liufeng Pavilion on fire, Wanqing Courtyard is closer to the Second Prince's Mansion, it is literally across the street, the fire must have come from there!

Although Shen Momo said that she has been in charge of the inner courtyard for many years, in the past there were princes in charge, and the decisions were made by the daily trivial matters of the inner courtyard. After such a major event, she had no time to send someone to quickly take the post from Prince Jing's mansion Going out to the Marquis of Weiyuan to report to Shen Yi, she hoped that the people from the Water Dragon Bureau would come quickly, and when she led people to the Wanqing Courtyard, the third princess in full attire was already there, calmly holding her hand in a big bag. Under the umbrella, he directs people to fight the fire.

Nanny Shen stepped forward and mustered up the courage to ask the third princess how she got into the mansion. To be honest, although the successive fires made the palace a mess, but the third princess came so uninvited, it always made people feel a little inappropriate.

Fortunately, although the third princess didn't want to deal with a nanny in the inner courtyard of the palace, she patiently explained to her at the moment, saying that she was entrusted by the second prince before, and it wasn't long before his mansion moved in. Kang Wang's mansion was in disrepair for a long time and hadn't had time to repair it. Hearing that there would be a thunderstorm tonight, he went out of the palace to help take a look. This night, people looked around.

Unexpectedly, nothing happened in his mansion, but someone saw a faint fire in Prince Jing's mansion across the street, knowing that Shen Fu accompanied him to the palace, and there was no one in charge in the mansion, so they hurried over to help.

Nanny Shen had heard this from the guards of the palace just now, and she heard the third princess say again, what can she do as a servant, she can only thank her a thousand times and watch the third princess's people go out of her way to help Command the firefighting.

It can be seen that the people of the three princesses are quite experienced, and they helped a lot in their busy schedule. Mammy Shen sincerely praised them, but it is a pity that they came a bit late. The people inside, two concubines and others to serve them Neither of the two maids in the house were rescued.

For this reason, the three princesses also expressed regret, pointing to the people she brought and said: "The 15 people under my palace were carefully selected by the emperor himself. It's late!"

Mother Shen was careful, and she counted secretly while listening. Excluding the housekeeper and a boy who led the way in the second prince's mansion, there were exactly 15 people. The mansion was chaotic in the middle of the night. Although there were no female relatives in the mansion, after all The number of people coming in from outside must not be wrong.

Afterwards, the Wanqing Courtyard became a pile of ruins. Fortunately, the rain gradually subsided. Shen Yi hoped that Shen Yi would come over soon, and at the same time, she hoped that the third princess would leave quickly. It was because of the firefighting, some impoliteness was acceptable, and now she was asked to entertain a princess, the house was still in a hurry, it was still raining, and it was dark everywhere, alas, what a headache!

However, Shen Yi didn't come over for a while, and the third princess didn't want to leave after putting out the fire. She said that she heard that another place was also on fire, so she went to have a look at it by herself, so that she could treat Shen Fu better when she turned around. He confessed, so he left most of the 15 people in the Wanqing Yard to help clean up, and while leading a few people to the upper cloud pool, there was a scene that made Zhou Heng's heart skip a beat.

Nanny Shen really wanted someone to pick off the lotus pod that the third princess pointed at, but there was no one in the mansion who knew how to use water. Besides, as a senior nanny, she always kept in mind that she should be careful with what she enters, especially It was presented to such an honorable person as the third princess. After thunder and rain, let’s wait for the princess to come. If the princess doesn’t agree, or the third princess doesn’t talk about it, that’s the best.

Sure enough, when Shen Yi arrived later, the two talked for a while, and the third princess got up to take her leave and go back to the second prince's mansion. When Shen Mammy smiled and said that she would pick a few lotus pods and send them back, she just waved her hand and said yes. It is important to assist the princess to handle the affairs of the palace first.

After seeing off the third princess, Shen Yi, who quickly sank, didn't continue to ask the topic of the lotus pod, but asked Zhou Heng: "Are the people at Liufeng Pavilion safe?"

Nanny Shen knew that she was asking Miss Biao, so she stepped forward and told her Chuntao's words in a low voice, and sent someone to find Chunyu, while she hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Princess, forgive me, this old slave is incompetent. Chaos, failed to guard the gate of the mansion—"

"Forget it," Shen Yi couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry. When she heard the report, she rushed over in riding clothes, and it is said that she came here on horseback herself: "Who would have thought that she would just live in the back mansion tonight. Her Royal Highness is coming to help us put out the fire, you, a nanny, can you stop me?"

Having said that, he asked in a low voice afterwards: "How many people did she bring? But look carefully? Did she bring weapons?"

Mother Shen, who lowered her head and was a little dejected when she asked this question, lifted her spirits: "Going back to the princess, the third princess said that she brought the 15-person bodyguard that the emperor gave her. The housekeeper and a servant in the house only have buckets in their hands, nothing else."

Shen Yi didn't say anything more about this, and suppressed any doubts in her heart for the time being. Chenfeng and Chunyu came to meet in a hurry, and said that they would rush to the palace to inform the prince as soon as the city gate opened the next morning, and Miss Biao did. He personally said that he would hide in a secret place prepared by the prince in advance, a rare smile appeared on his tense face, and he said:

"It's also thanks to his care!"
