Chapter 22
Chapter 22
No matter when you are studying, it is hard work, so day after day, year after year, the days suddenly reached the 17th year of Xuanwu.Xia Mi's grades are not good, but they are not at the bottom of the list, they just fluctuate in the middle.
On the second day of May, because it was Xia Mi's birthday, he had half a day off to rest.After lunch, Xia Mi and Bai Ming went back to Xige Hall, passed by the imperial garden, suddenly a person jumped out and was about to bump into Xia Mi, but Bai Ming kicked him down with quick eyesight and quick hands, and fell into the lotus pond, splashing Make a splash.
Xia Mi glanced at the person in the pool who was screaming in embarrassment, he was a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes.
"Master, can you save me?" Bai Ming asked.
"Wait first." She waved her hand to signal Bai Ming not to move, "He's not a eunuch, who knows what happened when he appeared in the Imperial Garden for no reason?" Ming understood and smiled back.
After struggling for a long time, the man climbed up by himself, squatted on the ground and huddled together, accusing them silently with those eyes, who knew Xia Mi saw him climb up and was about to leave, he suddenly raised his voice Shouted: "You are not allowed to go."
She didn't even bother to look at it, and strode away, the man yelled: "Come here, someone is molesting..."
Upon hearing this word, Xia Mi's eyes were gloomy, and she suddenly stopped and turned her head. The man was so frightened that he sat on the ground for a long time, not daring to get up. Seeing her walking step by step, he trembled even more, "You... Don't come here... I called..."
Xia Mi couldn't help but burst out laughing. She wanted to teach him a lesson, but in the end she turned into a tease: "Shout, even if you yell out your throat, no one will come to save you." Even so, she didn't say anything Walking forward, keeping a distance from that person, crossing his arms around his chest and looking down condescendingly.
Found out, nothing.
In the study room these years, she has been bullied a lot, especially at the beginning, not only the third child made trouble for her, but even the teacher who taught the class would help her.What impressed her most was the winter of the second year, which was also a snowy day. The third child and her attendant lied to Xia Mi that the teacher was looking for her.
Xia Mi didn't believe it, but the next day she was publicly criticized by the teacher, and even sued the empress. Later, Xia Mi was punished to stand outside. She stood alone in the cold and snowstorm, imprinting those who bullied her in her mind one by one. , she told herself, she would get it back one day.
However, she was imprisoned in a small dark room and Bai Ming was beaten for a series of bad luck.
She still remembered that after she smashed the window and turned out, she saw Baiming in the courtyard covered in blood and comatose. The snow was so heavy that it buried half of Baiming's body. The ice pierced into the bone marrow, and no one in the entire courtyard or even the upper study came to help her.
For the first time in so many years, she was crying. Holding the unconscious Baiming, she kept trembling, even the sound of crying was trembling.She didn't know what to be afraid of anymore, she only knew that she didn't want anything to happen to Bai Ming, she just asked someone to help her, she couldn't hold Bai Ming.
Finally, a little palace lady passed by, Xia Mi begged her to call the imperial physician, but the little palace lady was obedient and finally said that the third princess would not let anyone help her.
At that moment, Xia Mi didn't know where her courage came from, she directly picked up the big stone in the courtyard, rushed into the study room where they had their classes, and threw it at the servant next to the third child, blood splashed all over her face , Xia Mi stared at the third child indifferently, and said, "Who dares to stop this princess from being called an imperial physician?"
She turned to look at the teacher sitting in the high position, "The teacher has taught for so long, you should know the truth of 'Don't bully the young and poor'!"
She said again emphatically: "Call the imperial doctor, go quickly!"
The little maid rushed out like a book.
From then on, everyone knew that the second princess was not stupid, even when Xia Qian wanted to bully her again, she would hesitate and finally turned to stumbling her secretly.
Sure enough, good people are bullied.
Xia Mi looked at the person in front of her, almost no one dared to trouble her in the past two years. "Whoever you are, stop here."
"Why," he stood up confidently, and stuck his neck, "Your people kicked me into the pool, so it's okay? I...I'm not married yet."
"None of my business." Xia Mi gave him a funny look and said.
Angrily, he stomped his feet, but Xia Mi walked quickly with the wind on his feet, and even the person beside her followed him a long way away.He pointed at Xia Mi's back and wanted to scold, but it was just you, you, you... because he didn't know her name at all!
"Master, that person probably belongs to the leader of the country, but he doesn't know why he appeared here, so it's better to be careful." Bai Ming reminded.This is exactly what Xia Mi thought. She hummed, and seeing Bai Ming clutching her left little finger, she frowned slightly and asked, "Does it hurt again?"
Bai Ming put her hands behind her back unnaturally, "It's nothing, it might be raining."
Because the injury was serious that winter, every time it was cloudy or rainy, Bai Ming's left little finger would hurt badly. At first, in order not to let Xia Mi find out, he hid far away, until Xia Mi accidentally saw it, and then know about it.
"sorry."
Bai Ming laughed, "Master, how many times have you said this? I'm really fine. In fact, it's pretty good." Seeing that Xia Mi didn't understand, she said with a hint of self-deprecation, "In this way, I will Know when it rains."
A burst of sadness touched Xia Mi's heart. She didn't have the habit of treating people like slaves casually, let alone trampled on others easily, let alone people who had been with her day and night for so many years.She gently hugged Baiming and patted Baiming's shoulder.
She will keep this concern in her heart.
In the future, she will definitely seek justice for Baiming!
Soon at the end of the year, I heard that the eldest princess is going to marry, and she is still the prince of the leading country.
"Which country?" Mother Zhao asked Jixiang.Regardless of his thin body, although he is not the best at work, he is good at scouting for news.
Ji Xiang said, "I heard it's from Northern Qi."
Xia Mi said oh, put down the brush, took the towel from Bai Ming's hand, wiped it and threw it on the table, picked up a cup of tea and drank a couple of sips. Seeing this, Ji Xiang smiled and said, "Master must know something." ?”
"You're the only one who is smart." Xia Mi joked, and asked Ji Xiang to take care of Shaoyao to ask for rewards, and Ji Xiang went in a hurry.Only then did she restrain her smile, put one hand on the table and tapped.
"Master, are you happy that the Eldest Princess has little chance of winning?" Zhao Momo asked in a low voice.
Xia Mi shook her head, "The Qi Yan next to the third child is the hostage girl sent by Beiqi. It's so interesting that the eldest married the prince over there."
"Stand in line?" Bai Ming asked back.
Xia Mi clicked her, "Yes, that's the problem. Qi Yan is the third child, and I heard that Bei Qi has only had one daughter for so many years, so she can be regarded as the third child of Bei Qi. The marriage between Northern Qi and Northern Qi can be regarded as breaking the line with the third child."
She picked up the tea again, fiddled with the lid of the teacup twice, and lowered her eyes. She had to say that the cheap girl had really deep thoughts. Back then she hit Qi Yan because of Baiming, but the empress only played it lightly when she learned about it. Said, my first princess hit an outsider, so let's hit it.
Northern Qi didn't have much to say, whether they knew about it or not was hard to say.
Are you going to reshuffle the cards?
Xia Mi thought about the situation in the study room, basically it was the boss and the third child.Only she and Bai Ming were isolated together.
No, there is one more person.
"Do you have any impression of Nanliang's hostess?" Xia Mi asked Bai Ming.
Bai Ming thought for a while, "Master is trying to win her over?"
She finished drinking the tea in her hand, and when Madam Zhao went to take it and wanted to change to another cup, Xia Mi picked up another cup beside her, blew on it softly, and drank it.She put down the teacup, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she glanced at Bai Ming, who immediately understood and smiled too.Mother Zhao looked confused.
"Master, what kind of riddle is this playing?" Mother Zhao asked, "Forget it, this old slave is too old to keep up with you young people, but master, be careful in everything."
It wasn't until New Year's Eve that Xia Mi knew that the prince who was going to marry the boss was the one who told Xia Mi in the imperial garden that day that he would shout molestation.He was sitting beside him with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly, only when the empress talked about his marriage with Xia Wu, he raised his eyes occasionally.
What he was looking at was not Xia Wu, but Xia Mi.
Xia Mi was sure that the person he was looking at was herself, even though she was sitting next to Xia Wu.
The toasts were mixed, the cups and plates were messed up, and the guests had a good time.
After the banquet, Xia Mi and Xia Wu congratulated each other. The impression of Xia Wu over the years is not bad, a very quiet person, like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.In other words, the two do not invade each other and have no contact.
Xia Wu smiled faintly at her, "Thank you, I also wish my sister will meet her sweetheart as soon as possible."
After exchanging pleasantries, they each dispersed.
The wedding is scheduled for next year after Xia Wu and Ji, and the prince is said to be only 11 years old, the same age as Xia Qian, that is, a little younger than Xia Mi.
"Same age..." Xia Mi repeated the word twice, then sneered, which attracted Bai Ming's attention.
"Does the master know what's going on?"
When Xia Mi was passing by the plum garden, she picked up a plum and sniffed it carefully, "The plum blossoms are three points less white than the snow, but the snow is a little less fragrant than the plums." She handed the plum blossoms to Bai Ming's hands, and slowly stepped on them under the white snow. superior.
Walking in West Chang Street, there was no one in front or behind, only they were left. She stopped, "Bei Qi probably wanted the prince to marry the third child. It was an accident that we passed by the Imperial Garden that day. I thought the prince came to wait The third child, it was really a mistake and we broke the game."
Bai Ming remembered that their usual route was to take the long street, but suddenly they heard Qi Yan say that the flowers in the imperial garden were very beautiful, and asked the third princess to take a look when she had time.Xia Mi, who happened to have half a day off, said that we went to see those flowers first, which made some people sulk.Only then did the route change to the Royal Garden.
"Oh, it's true that people are not as good as heaven." Bai Ming replied.
Xia Mi: "Well, let's go back quickly, it's so cold." After the new year, it means another year older. Xia Mi thinks that she still has three years of adulthood, so she must speed up her efforts to avoid being blocked. .
