Chapter 269 (1/2)
At that time, when Yang Yingying told Aunt Li, she only said that a relative of the housekeeper at her ancestral home had come to Beijing to make a living and asked her to come here. But the child wanted to learn how to do business, so he wanted to send him to Aunt Li's nephew as an apprentice.
There was such a good opportunity to flatter the master, and that was just a word. Aunt Li naturally agreed.
The vegetable garden is no more busy than the ordinary shops. Every day, a new boy will be ordered. This is what Yang Yingying wanted. She just caught the opportunity to sneak into the palace. Li's family members did not find that there was no one missing before they left, but they were just insignificant assistants. No one expected that she would hide in the palace. They only thought that she would slip away in the middle of the way. In addition, there were other families' goods arriving and waiting to be counted and put into storage. As soon as the eunuch in charge of the matter urged, the Li family left in a hurry.
Yang Yingying here was knocked unconscious and stuffed in an inconspicuous corner of the warehouse. No one found her all day. When she felt her sore neck, it was already at night.
I don't know the exact time, but there is some fire in the crack of the opposite door.
Just wake up that moment, Yang Yingying whole person is ignorant, press the head to think carefully for a long time, just remember oneself early in the morning dressed up as a boy to sneak into the palace, and then to the back of what impression also has no, she even can't tell where she is at this time.
She is a lady of a big family. She has been spoiled since childhood. She has never suffered from hardship, and has never experienced such a thing. When she is in a completely dark and strange environment, she is just instinctively afraid. Her heart is pounding in the dark.
She wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to. She got up boldly, groped to avoid the obstacles, and felt for the only door that had some light.
This warehouse usually stores the dishes and coarse grains that the palace ladies and eunuchs have to eat every day. They are not expensive. In addition, due to the large demand, they have to move in and out every day, so the door is not locked at all.
Yang Yingying tried to push, but actually pushed the gate open a crack, and looked out, and found that it was the imperial dining room.
In fact, up to now, she was a little confused, and she was not sure how she had been sleeping here for most of the day.
she didn't even see a shadow of the person who hit her in the daytime. Besides, she was crooked there for a long time, and her neck was a little sore at the beginning, and she didn't feel any discomfort. She was not even sure that she was knocked out by sneak attack I passed out by accident.
However, one thing is very certain -
she is still trapped in the palace at this time, which is a very terrible thing.
In the courtyard, there are constantly the imperial chefs, eunuchs and maids running around busy, busy carrying the food boxes and bowls and chopsticks sent back from various palaces into the courtyard for cleaning.
At this time, we can't get out.
Yang Yingying pursed her lips and decided to hide here. When it was a little late, the people in the yard would sleep before trying to find a way.
Having made up her mind, she reached out and carefully tried to close the crack of the door that had just been pushed open.
However, I don't know if she has a bad luck today. Just half way through her lighthearted action, a little eunuch screamed: ”who is it?”
Yang Yingying only felt the hair on the back of her neck was inverted, and her instinctive reaction was to turn around and run inside.
But I don't want to pile up a lot of sundries in this room. I don't know what I'm tripping over and I just fall on the ground.
At the time of seeing the stars, the gate behind him had been opened and the fire was in full swing. Seven or eight small eunuchs rushed in.
”There are thieves!” Seeing her in this dress, someone was drinking hard.
Yang Yingying has long been so scared that she has forgotten to get up.
As a result, the movement became even more serious. It had already alerted the nearby patrol army. A group of bodyguards, armed with swords and spears, rushed in.
Under the reflection of lights, the weapons in their hands are shining with dazzling light.
Yang Yingying fell there, and her heart was shaking.
The guards were afraid not to make an assassin. They immediately relaxed their vigilance at the sight of a weak white faced boy crouching on the ground.
A bodyguard put up the long knife and pulled Yang Yingying up like a chicken.
”Who are you?” The eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room also heard the news and rushed to see that he was still outside the palace. He immediately became furious.
At that time, the courtyard outside was also full of black heads. Dozens of palace ladies and eunuchs were stretching their necks to watch the fun.
Yang Yingying's face was pale and reluctantly took the courage to explain: ”I I'm a new member of the Li family's garden. I followed boss Li into the palace to deliver food in the morning. Later Later, I was too tired to sleep here. I I'm not a thief! I'm going! Go now
”Do you know me?” The leading guard looked at the eunuch in charge.
Yang Yingying thought that she had said that. At least they would have called the Li family to come over to identify people and take her back. However, they never thought that the servants in the palace always had high regard and low hand. Who would waste their time for a nobody and cause trouble.The old Eunuch in charge of the matter changed his face at that time: ”many palace tableware have been confiscated back, we have such a big business here, who knows who you are!”
Yang Yingying opened her eyes and was stunned. She quickly explained, ”I'm really from the Li family. You go to see boss Li.”
the old eunuch waved his hand impatiently: ”even if it's really brought in by the Li family, who knows what you've done all day long hiding here!” After that, he said to the bodyguard: ”it's not our duty to guard against palace affairs. You can do it yourself, brothers of the forbidden army.”
At present, there is no peace in the palace and the capital city. The emperor is in a daze and panic stricken. The bodyguards here naturally have more to do than less.
”Fortunately, I found it early, and nothing happened...” The chief bodyguard pondered for a moment and then said with a straight face and a wave of his hand: ”search him. If there is any stolen goods, leave the stolen goods, and people will directly push them out to cut them down! Is this palace freely accessible? ”
After that, he turned around and looked at the blocked door behind him. He glared at the beads and said, ”what are you looking at? It's gone, it's gone! ”
The bodyguard who dragged her reached out and was about to touch her in her arms. Yang Yingying's hair just stood on end --
not to mention that there is poison hidden in her body, how can these slaves touch her just like her.
”Stop it!” She shrieked and, with all her might, shook off the guard's hand, which was holding her arm, and retreated, covering her chest.
The leading bodyguard turned his head and looked at it, his face already faintly with anger.
Yang Yingying stares at him. Although she knows that she has mixed into the palace, she can't explain it clearly, but it's better than being pushed out to chop by these slaves.
”It's against you...” The leading bodyguard came back, cursing and approaching.
Yang Yingying's heart is fast weighing, and finally there is nothing to do ---
seeing the man reach for her again, she finally turns her heart and says in a cold and sharp voice: ”don't be presumptuous, I-I'm the first lady of the Yang family in the prime minister's residence, the future Princess Rui!”
The old prime minister has already retired, and the eldest lady of the prime minister's house has an ulterior intention to sneak into the palace. It is not enough to be afraid of such a crime.
However -
the title of Princess Rui in the future is enough for them.
The bodyguard was struck by lightning and stopped in mid air.
A large group of people present looked at each other, doubting and perplexed.
Seeing that the guards are still hesitating, Yang Yingying is afraid that in order to cover up their own crimes, they simply do not do it twice
In order to save her life, she would also ignore it. She pulled her hat on her head, and her green silk flowed down. With her apricot eyes and peach cheeks, she was really a girl's home.
”Do you dare to move me? If I have a good or bad thing today, tomorrow morning the Yang family will come to see his highness Rui Wang. I'll see who can afford it... ” Yang Yingying pretended to be brave and angry.
