This spring in Beizhili is as hot as summer.
The azure blue sky can be seen to the edge at a glance, and the white clouds are like pieces of cotton wadding that have been exposed outside in someone's house. They are walking out of the quilt piece by piece, and they are like kudzu powder mixed with boiling water. The paste is white, moist and greasy, leaving only a faint sweetness in your mouth.
The longer I soaked in the warm wind of Beizhili, the more I felt a sultry and irritable feeling.
In the canopy carriage driving to the Imperial College, Cen Xijin complained to the second prince about the damn weather and the navy blue eunuch uniform she was wearing.
"Hey, why is this collar so tight? It makes me panic!" Cen Xijin tugged at the collar in frustration.
This little eunuch uniform was borrowed by Cen Xijin from someone. It was a bit ill-fitting to begin with, but now it was still wrapped in three layers, inside and outside, and it was suffocating her and the low-pressure second prince. In Dian'er's carriage, it was even hotter and panicking.
Moreover, summer is only a few months away now, and she can occasionally hear the hissing of cicadas. How can it not be hot!
"Hey, why aren't you talking? Are you still angry with me? You haven't spoken to me all night. Your Highness, don't you mind the odor after covering your mouth for a long time?" Cen Xijin put his face close to him and joked, she and the two The prince fights at the end of the bed (huh?), how can there be an overnight feud between them! Otherwise, she wouldn’t dress up as a little eunuch and go to the Imperial Academy with him on such a hot day just to stand up for him. , this is not all for his own good.
The second prince curled his lips and gave her a disgusted look: "..." Don't speak, don't speak, my highness just won't talk to you! !
"Okay, okay, why don't you just keep silent and listen to the head office? I'm telling you, when you get into Taixue later, you must not call me aunt. If you don't reveal your secret, you have to call me... Xiao Cenzi , huh?" Cen Xijin held it in for a long time, and finally could only come up with such an aggrieved name.
"Little Chengzi? You're still a little persimmon!" Where did such a silly name come from? It's all golden and yellow, just like her, it's tacky to death.
"Hey, His Highness the Second Prince, are you finally willing to talk to me now?" Cen Xijin didn't care about little oranges or apples. She just looked at him teasingly, with a look of joy that said, "You have finally been caught."
The second prince turned his eyes to the outside of the carriage with great annoyance, but pretended not to care on his face. He coughed a few times and replied in a calm tone: "I'm not talking to you, I'm just refuting you. Don't be so sentimental. .”
Hearing this, Cen Xijin just opened the curtain for him with a smile, and kept looking out... There was no traffic, no noise, this street was quiet, and there was not even a few human hairs to be found. .
Except for the occasional carriages and sedans, there were only the sounds of creaking and rolling wheels on the empty streets.
Cen Xijin curiously commented with the second prince: "Hey, they say that Beizhili is very lively, sweating like rain, raising sleeves to form curtains, and connecting folds to form curtains... It's strange here, not a single person can be seen!"
The second prince explained speechlessly: "This street is called Taixue Street. It is under the jurisdiction of Taixue and is not accessible to ordinary people. Didn't you see that there are guards at this street entrance?"
Cen Xi Jinhan smiled and scratched his head, and he thought to himself, if anyone could really wander around here, then the difficulty level of assassinating the prince and kidnapping the heir apparent would not be too low!
"Hey, look, another carriage came in there. The car wall seems to be carved with Qionghua. I don't know which family it is from." People from high-ranking families in this era all pay attention to the symbol or totem of their family. Carved on the outside of the carriage to express one's status.
Unexpectedly, the second prince's face suddenly darkened, and then without saying a word, he pulled Cen Xijin's protruding head into the car. While pulling her into his arms, he quickly pulled down the car curtain.
Cen Xijin was dissatisfied when he heard the second prince pretending to be cold and replied: "That is the carriage of the Guangling Palace."
Nestling in the arms of the second prince, smelling the faint fragrance of pastry on his clothes, Cen Xijin blushed instantly. Talking about the fragrance of the elegant young masters, many people described it as like orchid and like musk deer, but when it came to The little meatballs here are like horseshoe cake or water chestnut cake... However, as soon as she thinks of the smooth-talking little fat man in Guangling Palace, she becomes confused and hurriedly pulls the sleeve of the second prince: "Oh, that, Hasn’t Prince Guangling seen me before? Tell me, will he recognize me?"
"Fortunately, you don't look very good to begin with, so now you're dressed as a little eunuch, so you won't attract too much attention." The second prince shrugged his head. In fact, he didn't have the confidence to say this.
The little fat man has an extraordinary ability to remember women - I hope, I hope my aunt's eunuch appearance doesn't remind him of anything!
Speaking of which, they had only met briefly once. There were so many beauties during the Lantern Festival, and Cen Xijin was so mediocre and dull. The little fat man probably didn't remember her very much, right?
The second prince hugged her neck with a cold expression, but spoke righteously: "You should stop hanging around in front of the little fat man today, and nothing will happen to you."
Cen Xijin said with a straight face: "That won't work, I have to help you get revenge! I even brought the feather duster secretly!"
…
Feather duster, feather duster again!
The second prince now felt a dull pain in his butt when he heard the words "feather duster": "What's the point of revenge? You beat me up yesterday too!"
"It's different, isn't it different? I hit you for your own good, but they did it to laugh at you and bully you! This revenge must be avenged! Of course, I will avenge it for you. You study hard That's it." Cen Xijin waved his hand confidently.
"Oh, what, you're just going to use a feather duster to avenge me?" In fact, for this kind of thing, it has to be one who is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Cen Xijin whipped him with a feather duster, which is nothing (Second Prince: What do you mean it's nothing! ╯°Д°╯︵┻━┻, but if you slap someone else, will they be willing to buy it?
"If you can't use a feather duster, then use chicken feathers! Boy, learn a little bit, after using chicken feathers, sometimes it's more effective than a feather duster!" Cen Xijin pulled out the familiar colorful feather duster from under the seat and looked at her. Picking up the bright chicken feathers on the duster, he smiled sinisterly.
The carriage jolted to the Imperial College, and the second prince got out of the carriage calmly with the help of Cen Xijin. Cen Xijin had a basket full of pastries and tea on his arm, and he looked like a tea egg seller at the train station.
Mu Qiwen, the little fat man, seemed to be following them all the way: "Hey, isn't this our Second Prince? He's here so early? He's really diligent and studious. Oh, the little eunuch has been replaced! "
The second prince lowered his voice and tried to sound as normal as usual: "Little Baozi is sick, this is Xiao Cen..."
Unexpectedly, Mu Qiwen interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth: "Hey, this seems to be Cen..."
"Xiao Hongshu, his name is Xiao Hongshu, he is Aunt Cen's younger brother, and he comes to replace Xiao Baozi." The second prince trembled in his heart, and then said the words he had memorized in his heart in an orderly manner.
"Hey, let me tell you, it looks strangely familiar, so you've met an acquaintance!" Mu Qiwen immediately smiled and waved to Cen Xijin in a friendly manner, "Little sweet potato, your sister and I are familiar, come here Let’s talk about life…”
Cen Xijin couldn't avoid it. Could it be that she couldn't avoid the sweet potato or something?
