Your Majesty, Please Calm Down - Chapter 28: Leading away
PPS: I see that many of you missed the little comment at the end of chapter 26. So, I repeat now: as roman planet continues to copy my translations, I decided to copy / paste the automatic translations of Google Chrome. chapters and post them a day before the day the translation is supposed to go up.
All that everyone needs to do is simply read the translation on the day indicated on the Index and Summary page or the day after its publication on new updates.
Tian Qi waited for everyone to leave before swimming from the center of the pond to dismount. Dai SanShan swam by her side, thinking she had come to play. Once she saw him climb the shore, she also came out of the pond.
Tian Qi tapped his big hard shell: "You go back first."
Dai SanShan seemed to understand what she had said as she lifted her big head and slowly returned to the pond.
After Tian Qi interrogated her, she discovered that the Emperor had brought RuYi to Ci Ning Palace. Only then did she dare to return to Qian Qing Palace. She quickly dried herself and changed clothes, fearing that if she stayed too long, the emperor would come back. She left Qian Qing Palace and went for a walk in the opposite direction to Ci Ning Palace.
As she walked, she reached the imperial gardens.
The imperial gardens were teeming with noise and excitement. Everyone came to play to celebrate the festival. The Imperial Concubines really hoped for a chance meeting with the Emperor and what was not. After all, it was the day of the party, the Emperor also needed to relax his body and mind. Unfortunately, they have been waiting for a long time, but the only one to arrive was a eunuch.
Everyone knew that Tian Qi was lucky to have the confidence of the Emperor. The Imperial Concubines attached importance to all members of the senior management and therefore came to take a look. If this person could say a word in his favor to the Emperor, it would be very useful and she would not have to suffer to wait so long. Therefore, the masters were very polite towards Tian Qi, awarding rewards one after the other.
Touching her full embroidered embroidered pocket, Tian Qi became very happy. She did not think she had such "prestige". Anyway, other people took the initiative to give him things. She could not make any promises, she could not be vain.
Passing a fake mountain, Tian Qi passed a pavilion where she saw several maidservants of the palace accompanying a beautifully dressed Imperial concubine Wan. She suddenly bowed her head, pretending not to see them.
The beautiful woman shouted for her to stop. "Wait a minute, eunuch Tian, what is so urgent, even if you do not fear the sun, you must be careful not to suffer from this heat." His voice was soft and sweet, containing a trace of a smile.
Seeing that she could no longer claim that she was invisible, Tian Qi turned around, bowed and said, "This servant apologizes to the Imperial Concubine niangniang ... I was in a hurry because I dreaded the heat and I I wanted to leave quickly to find a place that was nice and cool, unexpectedly I did not notice that niangniang was there, I apologize to niangniang. "
niangniang = queen, empress, imperial concubine, goddess.
The Imperial Concubine Wan used her handkerchief to hide her lips and smiled, "Ben Gong has no mood to blame you, you should not have that easy with the festival going on." Here are some pieces to take for you and Go take a tea, ba. "Saying that, she glanced at the maid next to her. The palace maid understood what she meant without being told a word. She grabbed two small gold nuggets and handed them to Tian Qi. Tian Qi thanked her when she received them.
Ben Gong = this palace; term used by imperial concubines / empress / princess to designate themselves
Even though Imperial Concubine Wan seemed to be getting along with Tian Qi, it was the first time she was talking to him. When meeting with him now, she thought the rumors were misleading because he did not seem witty or spoke good words. She also thought that this little eunuch was arrogant and he despised her. In the end, the last time she had received a favor, it was two months ago, and these servants served to flatter the most favored and to walk on the lowest; they change their loyalty with the wind. Not to mention the eunuchs who work at the top, who see these scenes every day.
Because of these thoughts, Imperial Concubine Wan felt a little muffled, but she still manages to keep her expression smiling. Excusing, she let him go.
In fact, Imperial Concubine Wan was wrong. Tian Qi has never been a shortsighted person. Second, she would never give the cold shoulder to an imperial concubine. She did not want to commit an offense, nor did she want to reveal her contempt.
The reason Tian Qi did not like the Imperial Concubine Wan was because she was Sun Fan's biao jie. Sun Fan's mother was the close aunt's father of Imperial Concubine Wan.
biao jie = older cousin of the female line.
The official positions of Imperial Wan's father and brother were not high, so the whole family depended on the Sun family. Since Tian Qi did not like Sun Fan, of course, she did not really like this biao jie.
At that time, Imperial Concubne Wan did not know why Tian Qi did not flatter her because her own biao di had dug a hole. She could only secretly clench her teeth, thinking that if one day she would be successful, she would despise these little people and squeeze them under her foot.
biao di = younger cousin male by female line
In the end, RuYi did not succeed in expressing his complaint, as his father Emperor had warned him that, if he complained to the Empress Dowager, Tian Qi would have problems.
RuYi did not dare to believe it anymore. By the time Ji Heng forced himself into Ci Ning's palace, he was already crying and shaking so hard that his words did not make sense. He had no choice but to say one word at a time.
The Dowager Empress was terribly afflicted. Seeing him so, she took him in his arms and asked him what had happened.
Ji Heng's face remained expressionless as he held out his hand and explained, "Tian Qi fell into the pond, RuYi took pity on him and cried until he became like that." None of the words spoken were lies. He was simply ingeniously away from events.
The Dowager Empress gently stroked RuYi's back, supporting the little guy with one hand and sighing on the other, "Our RuYi is a loving and loyal child.This servant is just too reckless, how could he fall into the 'pond?"
RuYi raised his finger and directed it towards Ji Heng. Because he was not brave enough, his finger curled slowly. "Father Emperor ..."
Ji Heng narrowed his eyes and interrupted "And Zhen?"
"You, you ..." As RuYi felt the threat in Ji Heng's eyes, he leaned over and put his hands around the dowager Empress's neck and said, "When you were four (4) years old, you still wet your bed. "
Ji Heng "..."
Empress Dowager "..."
Seeing the dark complexion of his Emperor father, RuYi finally felt his voice return. He kept both his hands around the dowager Empress's neck, looked down and decided to say nothing more.
The Dowager Empress was a little embarrassed. She asked RuYi in a low voice, "Have not we agreed that you are not allowed to talk to anyone about this?"
"Mother Empress ..." Ji Heng took a deep breath. "Zhen will explain this one last time, it was not Zhen's urine, the nurse spilled tea, but she did not dare tell you about it."
The Dowager Empress never believed this explanation. She could not believe that a child of four (4) could remember things so clearly. Naturally, in order to preserve the emperor's face, she claimed to be convinced every time.
Now that RuYi told her, in a moment of despair, she could only cough aloud once. She tilted her head to help RuYi repair her hair, pulled out a tissue and cleaned her face. After all that, she calmly raised her head and looked at Ji Heng, "It was just a little sentence for a child, just a joke, he took it seriously and you became serious." Are you a child too? "
Ji Heng remained speechless. Even though he was the honorable nine (9) - five (5), he crawled out of his mother's womb. Being upset by his own mother, he could not say anything in return.
The Dowager Empress caressed RuYi's little head, looking at him from head to toe. He was really pretty in dress. "My little RuYi is really more adorable than a little princess." She sighed and spoke in a weak voice "I do not know if Aijia will still be alive before the birth of a granddaughter."
Ji Heng reasoned, "On this feast day, why should the Empress mother speak this way?"
"Aijia says it for your benefit, you're no longer young, but you still only have RuYi, this child, how can that be good?"
Ji Heng did not like hearing these words. He forced himself to say a few more sentences to the Empress Dowager, then he just said goodbye and leave.
Ji Heng went back to Qian Qing Palace, had dinner, then went to the bathroom to take a hot bath. The bath water was not as usual, ordinary hot water. On the contrary, different fragrant flowers have been boiled in the water used today. On the day of the dragon boat festival, tradition dictated that he bathe in water in which these scented flowers had been boiled. That day was also known as the day of the orchid bath.
Ji Heng sank in the water of the orchid bath and narrowed his eyes because of the steam. He was looking at the palace cleaning lady who was busy around the bathroom. Looking at his pure white skin, he unconsciously remembered the fall of Tian Qi in the pond in the afternoon. He could not help laughing, frightening the maid of the palace who was right by his side, pouring more water into the tub. The hand of the palace maid trembled and splashed with flowers on the Emperor's face.
The maid of the palace quickly put the bucket. "Your Majesty, please, forgive me!"
Ji Heng scoffed at the splash on his face as he wiped it. "Take Lan Tang to give Tian Qi, let him use it for bathing."
Lan Tang = the water where the scented flowers were boiled
The palace maid quickly withdrew to continue the decree, bringing another maid to step forward and continue to replenish the Emperor's bathwater. When she had finished, she lowered her head and remained on the side, waiting for instructions.
The hair of the palace maid was rolled into two rolls on the side, similar to the hairstyle RuYi had during the day. Ji Heng recalled his son disguised as a little princess, then again thought of Tian Qi. He realized that his mind was utterly terrible.
What would Tian Qi look like if he wore women's clothes?
He evaluated the palace maid's gift. she wore a pale pink dress, her body well proportioned. Only, if Tian Qi were to wear these clothes, he would certainly add some natural charm.
Once he became aware of where his thoughts took him, Ji Heng touched his nose uncomfortably.
Since Tian Qi was awarded to Lan Tang, she was aware that the Emperor had forgiven him. In a good mood, she took a bath and the next day went to work on time, claiming that nothing had happened.
After finishing her work, she left the palace to play. This time, she met Ji Zheng again as she walked to the bank while guarding a tree stump while waiting for the rabbits.
keep a tree trunk, waiting for rabbits - idiom = waiting for opportunities without doing anything (basically, JZ was waiting in the vicinity, hoping to meet TQ).
Ji Zheng did not look for Tian Qi to go out. He wanted to discuss something important with him.
Of course, before he opened his mouth to talk about the issue at heart, Ji Zheng took Tian Qi to many places. Banks, workshops, tea rooms, restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores, etc.
While they were visiting all these stores, Tian Qi was confused, so she asked "WangYe, what do you want to buy exactly?"
"These are all properties belonging to WangFu." Ji Zheng replied.
WangFu = the prince's house
Indeed, Tian Qi's eyes widened in envy. "WangYe, you are rich enough."
"Not really at the moment, the places we went to were only about 10%, I have a lot more shops and other shops, all bought at the time when the Fu was barely installed. there is no one left to manage them. "
"Why?"
"The housekeeper is old, so he wants to go to the countryside to enjoy his retirement."
"It's not easy to find a new housekeeper right away."
It was precisely the sentence that Ji Zheng was waiting for, that's why he looked at Tian Qi and sincerely asked him, "Tian Qi, are you ready to come to Ning WangFu, ma?"
Tian Qi pointed his own nose. She could not believe it. "Me, mom?"
Ji Zheng repeated his question.
"I am not good." Tian Qi felt embarrassed as she shook her hands. "I've never managed this kind of thing, what if the business goes wrong and you end up suffering a financial loss, I can not compensate for that."
"No matter, any financial loss we will consider as mine alone, whatever profit you make, you earn three 3%."
Tian Qi started to drool when she heard his offer. She swallowed quickly and eagerly asked "Three (3), three percent (3%)?"
"In. If you are not satisfied, we can always negotiate."
"No no no, that's not what I meant." Tian Qi gritted his teeth and always refused. "I'm not strong enough to dig into this work, I dare not undertake this china work."
Ji Zheng felt a little sorry. "I've already said that all losses belong to me, and you're brilliant enough, I believe in your abilities, that's why I asked you, you do not have to be so modest with me. "
When Tian Qi saw the pain in her eyes, she felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart. She clearly asked "What ... WangYe, can I ask you a question from everyone, why me?"
"I have not been able to find someone capable and trustworthy for a while, and with no other option, I had to try my luck and ask you."
"But I work for the emperor ... This ..."
"Do not worry about that, the older brother Emperor is a magnanimous person, he should not be reluctant to part with one or two servants."
Of course, they all believed it. Tian Qi scratched his head in puzzlement. She still wanted to refuse, but Ji Zheng quickly covered his mouth with his finger to prevent him from speaking longer. "Do not rush to refuse, I do it for you, you're restricted all day at the Imperial Palace, when you can be free and unfettered in my WangFu, and even if you earn a lot, you can win the same thing here, In addition, there is nothing to worry about in my palate, you should be clear about it too.To tell you the truth, for you, I turned down the face and I am willing to ask the Since I think that there is a predestined affinity between me and you, I sincerely wanted to ask you, even if you could refuse.Let the discussion for later and think about it seriously.Remember to take also in consider my benevolent feelings, okay? "
This speech made Tian Qi unable to say half a word. She had no choice but to nod slightly.
Ji Zheng took his finger. His fingers quickly followed the shape of his soft lips, stopping slightly at the corner of his mouth. He kept it there for a brief moment, then he quietly withdrew his hand.
Tian Qi always thought about their discussion, completely unaware of his actions.
Ji Zheng smiled gently. Hands crossed behind his back, he walked side by side with Tian Qi. Seeing that Tian Qi looked pensive, he did not go anywhere else to play, but rather said goodbye and let him go back to the palace.
The silhouette of Tian Qi was getting smaller and smaller. Ji Zheng turned around and started walking. He nodded to look at his right hand.
He raised his finger, closed his eyes, and gently kissed the tip of his finger.
PPS: I guess the author gave TQ a good excuse (grow like a supposed eunuch) so that she would not be hated by misleading readers. But stay! How can she not feel that someone touches her lips ?! It's the lips !!! They are sensitive enough to start. How can she not feel that someone is playing with them without being invited because she is thinking too much? This scenario is not plausible for me.
Tian Qi waited for the people to leave and she climbed from the lake to the ground. Dai Sanshan was swimming around her. I did not know what she was playing. When she saw it on the ground, it also followed.
Tian Qi tapped his big hard shell. "You come back first."
Dai Sanshan seems to be able to understand people's words and, with his big head, slowly returns to the water.
Tian Qi asked someone to inquire about this. He knew that the Emperor had gone to Cining Palace with his wish. She dared to return to the Qing palace, dry her body, change clothes, fear that the emperor would come back, dare not stay long and went to the Qing palace. Ci Ning Palace slid in the opposite direction.
The yo-yo arrives at the imperial garden.
The royal garden is very lively. For the holidays, everyone comes to play. Some of them are eager to see something happen with the emperor. After all, this is a party and the emperor also needs to relax. It's a shame that they look forward to a long time and hope only to reach a eunuch.
For the blessing of the emperor, everyone knows Tian Qi. Anyone who is close to the emperor will have a high look. If this person can help say the same sentence, it will be much more useful than waiting. So the masters were very polite to Tian Qi and they gave a reward.
Touching the bulging pocket, Tian Tian is happy. She did not expect to have such "prestige" now, but it was given by others. She did not agree on what to do and she did not want to be white.
Returning the rock garden, passing in front of a belvedere, Tian Qi saw three or five ladies of the palace in the pavilion accompanied by a girl of the palace. She pretended not to see, bowed and slammed.
The woman stopped her. "Tian Gonggong is slow to go, which is urgent, is not afraid of the sun, and the heart is in the heat." The voice is soft and sweet, with a slight smile.
Tian Qi can no longer be invisible, and the body turns and walks forward and says, "The slaves asked the goddess Jin An ... Just because they were afraid of the heat, they wanted to go to a cool place, but did not see the goddess, so I also hope the goddess will forgive her. "
He grabbed his handkerchief, covered his lips and smiled. "There is no sin in this palace, you are not easy under the big festival, let's have tea for that money." Then look at the lady of the palace next to me. At a glance, the lady of the palace would like to take two golden cupcakes and give them to Tian Qi. Tian Tian took it and thanked him.
Although I saw Tian Qi, this is the first time I talk to him. To see him today is not as good as the rumor, but it is also the snobbery of this little eunuch who despises it. After all, his last petition was two months ago. The henchmen used to stand up and walk on the ground, watching the wind for the rudder, not to mention the imperial princes who stood every day.
As a result, there was a blockage in the heart, but there was always a smile on his face, which saved him from the ceremony and let him come back.
In fact, I think it's wrong. Tian Qi is not such a shortsighted person, and she is reluctant to offend or show contempt.
The reason why Tian Qi did not like it was because this person was Sun Fan's cousin and Sun Fan's mother was a close aunt.
The eunuch's eunuch was not big, the family relied on the grandson's family, and Tian Qi hated Sun Fan, and of course he would not like the cousin.
At this moment, I still do not know that my cousin was stung because of Tian Qi. She just secretly clenched her teeth. I thought that if I had the ambition, I would have to walk on my feet.
Ruyi did not succeed at the end, because the father told him that if he complained to the queen mother, Tian Qi would die.
Ruyi did not believe and did not dare. When Ji Heng forced himself into the Cining Palace, he was already crying and snoring. He said he was unfavorable and could only swear word by word.
The queen mother was so anxious that she was going to die, took him in her arms and asked quickly what was happening.
Ji Heng's face did not change the color to help explain, "Tian Qi fell into the water, a fairy distress, and then cried like that." Every word did not deceive, but rose intelligently.
The queen mother caressed wishful thinking and helped the little guy to sigh and sighed: "We are a child of affection and justice, but the slave is too reckless, how can he fall into the water. "
If you want to lift your finger in the direction of Ji Heng, because the courage is not enough, the index is squatting slightly, "Father ..."
Ji Heng blinked and interrupted him. "What happened?"
"You, you," wished to feel the threat of Ji Heng, he leaned his head on the queen mother's neck and said, "You, four years, still, nocturnal enuresis ..."
Ji Heng: "..."
Queen Mother: "..."
Seeing the father's black and black face, Ruyi finally had a sigh of relief, his hands licking the queen mother's neck and narrowing her eyes.
The queen mother felt very embarrassed and murmured. "Is not it good to tell others?"
"After the mother ..." Ji Heng took a deep breath. "The last time I explained it was not urine, it was the tea the mother had sprayed, she did not dare to tell you."
The queen mother never believed this explanation. She does not believe that the four-year-old can remember things so clearly, of course, in order to take care of the Emperor's face, she pretends to believe it every time.
Now, his eagerness was telling him. She coughed and tilted her head, helped him manage her hair and wiped her little face with a slap. Then she looked up and looked at Ji Heng calmly. "It's just a joke with the kids, if he's serious, you're serious, are you a child?"
Ji Heng will not speak. Although he is the honor of the ninth five-year plan, he has also come out of his mother's womb. He was arranged a few words by his mother-in-law. He really could not help it.
The queen mother touched the cute little brain and looked at him in a pretty little skirt. He sighed, "My little wish, how cute it is to be a little princess," said a sigh and sighed. "I do not know." Mourning can still live to see the granddaughter born. "
Ji Heng said, "Why are you talking about this after your mother?"
"The person in mourning also says it for you, you are not too young and you only have a baby, how can this be good?"
Ji Heng did not like listening to these words and tried to convince the queen of a few words, then he left.
Back at the dry house, usual dinner, Ji Heng walked to the bathroom to take a hot bath. The bath is not the usual hot water, but the bath soup cooked in bluegrass. The dragon boat festival is a bathing tradition with blue soup. That day is called the Bath Lan Festival.
Ji Heng narrowed his eyes comfortably in the burning heat of Lan Tang, watching the busy lady of the palace, unconsciously thinking of Tian Qi who fell into the water in the day. He could not help laughing, but he was shocked by the lady of the palace who added water by shaking her hand, accidentally spattering splashes and falling on the face of the armpit of the emperor.
The lady of the palace hastily put down the bucket, "the Emperor forgives!"
Ji Heng did not want to wipe his face. "Go to Tian Tian to give Lan Tang and let him bathe."
The lady of the palace was willing to go down and another woman from the palace added water that had not been completed. After adding, she hanged her head and waited.
The palace woman put on a double-sided vertebra, similar to the hairstyle used during the day. Ji Heng thought of the son dressed as a little princess, then to Tian Qi, then he had a terrible thought in his mind.
What would Tian Qi look like with a woman's dress?
He stared at the lady in front of him, a pale pink dress, and the flesh was well proportioned. However, if Tian Qi wears this dress, it will certainly add a little wind.
Realizing that this idea was not normal, Ji Heng unconsciously touched his nose.
Tian Qi received orchid soup for the bath. He knew the emperor was forgiving him, so he took a shower and went to the next day to pretend he had not happened.
After the next value, I went to play in the palace. This time she met the sign of waiting for the rabbit in Qianzhuang.
Ji Zheng did not come to Tian Tian to play this time, but something to discuss with him.
Of course, before the opening, he traveled a lot with Tianqi, Qianzhuangbufang, a tea restaurant, as well as spice shops, medicine shops, and so on.
Tian Qi wandered and turned, "What do you want to buy from Wang Ye?"
"These are the palace industries." Ji Zheng replied.
Tian Qi really has wide-eyed eyes and envy, "Wang Ye, you really have money."
"Where, you only saw one or two, I have a lot of shops and barns, all of which were installed when I first built, but now everyone does not care."
"Why?"
"The housekeeper is old and wants to return to the countryside to help the elderly."
"You can not ask a housekeeper."
Ji Zheng and so on is this sentence, so he sincerely looked at Tian Qi, "Tian Qi, are you willing to come to Ning Wangfu?"
Tian Qi himself pointed his nose, and some could not believe it, "I?"
Ji Zheng focused on the head.
"I can not," said Tian Qi with embarrassment. "I've never been able to do that, what can I do if I lose your business?"
"No matter, if you lose me, if you win, you'll be split in 30%."
Tian Qi's mouth was sour and sour and a lot of body fluid was secreted in the mouth. She swallowed her mouth and asked enthusiastically, "Three or three?
"Well, if you're not happy, you can talk about it again."
"No, no, I do not mean that." Tian Qi bit his teeth and still refused. "I do not have the diamond, I can not take it for life."
Ji Zheng is a bit lonely. "I said, I lost my money, and you're very smart, I believe in you, I invite you to come in. You and I do not need to be so polite."
When Tian Qi saw her wounded eyes and her heart a little embarrassed, she asked, "This, Wang Ye, can you ask me why, why is it?"
"I could not find a competent and credible person for a while, so I had to tell you."
"But I'm a predecessor, so ..."
"It does not matter, the emperor is a generous person, one or two slaves should be willing."
You can think about it. Tian Qi scratched his head and wanted to refuse. Ji Zheng raised his index finger and blocked his mouth. "You should not rush to say no, I'm for you, Zhenri is in the palace, but I'm not happy in the palace." How much money do you want to earn, win as much as I can and more? I have no bad thing in the palace, you know it. To be honest, just for you, I just pulled my face down and the Emperor, I have a destiny for you, and I want to ask you seriously. If you refuse, you will think about it seriously and you should show consideration for my heart, okay? "
This remark made Tian Tian never say a half-word "no," but he nodded first.
Ji Zheng will pose the index. His fingers slipped quickly to the edge of his lips, slightly to the corners of the lips, leaving a brief and brief rubbing, then his hands hung without a trace.
Tian Qiqi thought of himself and did not notice it.
Ji Zheng chuckled, holding his hand and Tian Qi next to it. When he thoughtfully saw Tian Qi, he did not take him to play somewhere else, but he left with him and let him go back to the palace.
Seeing the back of Tian Qi, Ji Zheng turned around and looked down at his right hand.
He raised his index finger, slowly closed his eyes and gently kissed his belly.
