The road of the king, the minister and the husband

Chapter 13

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Yiran sat in the carriage with his head down and didn't say a word, and Yin Tianqi leaned against the wall of the carriage not to look at him, the atmosphere between the two and a half children was really gloomy.

Little Lizi slowly moved from the carriage to outside the curtain, nudged Xiaoqingzi who was driving the carriage lightly with her elbow, and winked behind the curtain.

Xiaoqingzi glanced at him, turned back and continued to concentrate on driving the car. The master's business is not something they slaves should talk about. Even if the master wants to be angry with Mr. Xiao, it is the master's business. There is no such thing as a group of slaves gossiping behind his back .

Little chestnut is good at everything, he works quickly and can speak, usually the master rewards him a lot, so he can't change it at all, he is too willing to gossip with those court ladies and eunuchs, if one day the master loses his temper, his life will be destroyed Not guaranteed.

Seeing that he just glanced at her and then turned her head, Xiao Lizi rolled her eyes, shook her body and quickly sat down next to him, not daring to think about those messy things anymore.

About half an hour later, the carriage entered the gate of the imperial palace and drove all the way to the main gate of Qiyang Palace before stopping. Xiao Lizi jumped out of the carriage and opened the curtain, saying softly: "Master, we are here."

Xiao Yiran got out of the car first, raised his hand to help Yin Tianqi get down, bent over and shrank aside, and after entering the gate of Qiyang Palace, he knelt down on the road paved with bluestone slabs.

Yin Tianqi turned his head and glanced at him, snorted coldly and continued to walk forward, leaving him to kneel on the cold floor alone with his head down.

If you want to kneel, you can kneel, don't do this with him, it's really spoiled by him, there is no respect at all.

The guards on duty in Qiyang Palace walked past Xiao Yiran, and they all lowered their heads to look at him. They were a little surprised when they recognized this person as Xiao Yiran. No one in Qiyang Palace knew that the third prince had always been very fond of this companion. That's right, usually he would not be punished for anything, but what happened today, he was made to kneel on the main road of the palace gate where people come and go.

Xiao Yiran put his hands by his legs, looked down at the gray ground illuminated by the moonlight, and didn't say a word, even if there were little eunuchs around him, he still knelt there without saying a word.

The little eunuch who came to call Xiao Yiran was so anxious that he was about to cry. Two hours later, the master sent a message in the dormitory to take Mr. Xiao back. He originally thought it would be a labor-saving job, at least he would not have to wait in the dormitory. Being disgusted by the master, but now it seems that it is not easy to let Mr. Xiao go back.

"Young Master Xiao, I beg you, I beg you, go back with this slave, even if the master is really angry with you, you go and say some soft words and beg for mercy, maybe the matter of the master pampering you will be over, why bother to make things difficult for yourself." The little eunuch stretched out his hand to support him, and drove towards Xiao Yiran while talking in a low voice.In the eyes of these servants serving Qiyang Palace, this Young Master Xiao is the one whom the master loves the most, and he is usually very weak. If he is frozen today and gets sick again, then these servants will definitely not be sick. Good fruit to eat.

Xiao Yiran shook his head, and knelt on the cold floor tiles for more than two hours, his little face was already pale, but he bit his lip stubbornly and refused to get up.

He was at fault, so he accepted the punishment. Although the master said to let him go back, he felt that he would kneel wherever he knelt, and there was no need to move another place to suffer.

The little eunuch had no choice but to run back on his back again. When he reached the door of Yin Tianqi's bedroom, he knelt on the ground, "Master... Young Master Xiao refused to get up, and kept kneeling there..."

Yin Tianqi came out of the palace wearing a black cloak, his face so gloomy that he could blend into the night, scared all the court ladies and eunuchs to kneel on the ground, trembling for fear that the master would take his anger on him.

Looking up at the dark blue sky, Yin Tianqi frowned lightly, looked down at Xiao Qingzi who was kneeling at his feet, and asked in a low voice, "What time is it?"

"Back to master, it's already three o'clock (Zi 23:1-[-]:[-]), and Mr. Xiao has been kneeling for almost three hours. Master, you are not in good health. If you kneel like this again, you will hurt your foundation. He hasn't done it all these years. Don't be punished to kneel, the imperial doctor said last time that you can't let the young master kneel for a long time, your legs won't hurt anymore, master, please, little Qingzi, please feel sorry for the young master." Xiaoqingzi was about to cry, he In the past few years, he has been serving Xiao Yiran personally, and he also clearly knows how much Xiao Yiran has paid for his master. If he was not worried about Xiao Yiran's health, he would not kowtow to plead for Xiao Yiran.

Others may not know it, but he knows very well that Mr. Xiao is not arrogant at all, even if he usually plays tricks to tease the servants who are serving them, he never shouts at them. The prince's companion is different, relying on his family background, he often finds excuses to kill the slaves.

Kowtowing his head and begging for mercy, Xiao Qingzi was already teary-eyed.

Yin Tianqi frowned, lifted his legs out of the bedroom door and walked straight towards the palace door where Xiao Yiran was kneeling.

Xiao Yiran closed his eyes slightly, and his breathing was already slightly rapid. He had just been tortured by a stomachache once, and before he recovered, he sat in a carriage and went back to the palace, and then knelt on the icy road for three hours straight, even a normal person It's enough, let alone his small body with a weak foundation.

A few beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, his body was already staggering, but he bit his white lips hard, telling himself to himself, don't fall down, if he falls down, the master should think he is delicate, even a little punishment Can't live.

He heard the hurried footsteps of many people, and a pair of gilt-rimmed white boots appeared in front of his eyes. He slowly raised his head, opened his mouth, and greeted in a harsh voice: "Master, this slave greets the master."

"Get up." Yin Tianqi looked at his pale face by the light of the palace lantern, and his voice became much colder.

"Yes." Bending down and kowtowing, Xiao Yiran gritted his teeth and stood up, staggered but stopped, and looked down at the ground, "Master, I know I made a mistake, and I won't do it again in the future."

Yin Tianqi looked at his trembling appearance and felt quite uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand to pull him, but before he could touch his hand, he saw the body of the person in front of him go limp, and he fell backwards.

"Ran Ran!"
