Chapter 205: 205 Know your mistakes
Chapter 205 Chapter 205 Knowing the Mistake
Mr. Yi was also angry, and his drunken face turned red with anger. He pointed at Jiang Yuan and others and swore righteously: "You dare to hit people at the feet of the emperor!"
Several young men rushed forward, and a dandy young man drew his sword.
However, just an inch after the sword was unsheathed, his sword was knocked away.
The dandy young man covered his right wrist and screamed in agony. Several others were kicked to the ground and staggered all over the floor. Wine glasses, fruit plates and wine bottles were knocked over, leaving chicken feathers all over the floor.
The sound of smashing things and shouting came one after another. Even the wine glass in Chu Yunyi's hand was knocked out and smashed into pieces on the floor, with wine flowing across the floor.
The dancers were also frightened, and they all stopped and stepped aside.
The few dandy boys were all unconvinced, and their faces were ashen. No one dared to come forward easily, and they were even more than half sober.
Most people can see that these people who come to Chu Yunyi are not simple.
Chu Yunyi looked at the smashed wine glass, blinked, and glanced at everyone with drunken eyes, asking: "Who... smashed my wine?!"
Mr. Shi stood up holding his stomach, pointed at Jiang Yuan and the others and said, "Brother Chu, do you still need to ask? These are the people who smashed your wine!"
Several other dandies also said in various directions:
"Brother Chu, after all we have known each other for many years, are you just watching us get beaten?!"
"That's right! Could it be that you are afraid of them, so you don't dare?"
"Chu Yunyi, I thought you were fearless before!"
“…”
Mr. Shi and Mr. Yi exchanged glances calmly.
They knew that Chu Yunyi had a hot and impulsive temper since he was a child in martial arts. He had often fought with people in the capital over the years. As long as they encouraged him with a few words, Chu Yunyi would definitely not be able to suppress his explosive temper.
Chu Yunyi's anger kept rising.
Isn't it okay if he just wants to find a place to drink quietly? !
"Which one of you will come first?" Chu Yunyi started to roll up his sleeves with sharp eyes. He was already depressed and wanted to use a fight to vent his frustration.
Jiang Yuan was too lazy to talk to a drunkard, so he waved his hand and said, "Take him away!"
If Chu Yunyi hadn't been drinking now, he might have been able to fight some of the palace guards, but now he was a drunken drunk and couldn't even stand on his legs.
The two palace guards picked up Chu Yunyi like a hawk catching a chicken.
They came and went like the wind, and after grabbing someone, they went downstairs again.
The sound of footsteps going downstairs faded away, and Mr. Shi and other dandy boys who stayed on the second floor looked at each other with different expressions.
Mr. Yi could not help but sigh on the ground.
When he fell down, he bit his lower lip and the saliva in his mouth was full of blood. He gritted his teeth and whispered: "How come Chu Yunyi is so lucky!"
Mr. Shi's face was gloomy, and he punched the table with his fist, making a loud "thud" sound.
The square-faced boy also took in the scene just now, hesitated for a moment, and then hugged her.
When he walked to the lobby on the first floor, he happened to see Chu Yunyi being escorted into a carriage parked at the gate.
The sky outside has completely darkened, the night is like ink, and the moonlight is melting.
The streets were deserted, it was already curfew time, only these brothels were still brightly lit.
"Get in!"
Jiang Yuan pushed Chu Yunyi roughly into the carriage.
The actions of her men were not polite at all. Chu Yunyi was still drunk and was leaning on the carpet of the carriage in an awkward manner. His ponytail was just on his face, covering half of his cheek.
Chu Yunyi only felt pain and numbness in his armpits and upper arms, and his rising anger was rising day by day.
"who…"
He uttered a syllable angrily and was about to get angry when he heard a sneer coming from the front: "Ha."
Chu Yunyi felt that the voice was familiar and forgot to be angry for a moment.
He raised his slightly heavy head and looked around.
Chu Qianchen leaned lazily on the carriage and looked at him with a faint smile.
The siblings looked at each other.
There was silence in the carriage.
"..." Hu Bo felt that Chu Yunyi was like a drunk cat with explosive hair at this moment, and silently averted his eyes.
She tried her best to make herself insignificant, so as to avoid the eldest young master becoming embarrassed and angry.
Chu Yunyi stared at Chu Qianchen for a while, then slowly blinked, his eyes filled with the smell of alcohol were gleaming, and asked: "Why are you here?"
Without waiting for Chu Qianchen to answer, he answered himself: "You won't come, I must be dreaming."
His cheeks were flushed, as if they were rouged.
Amber was convinced that Chu Yunyi was really drunk, so he would talk such nonsense.
The carriage was not big, and Chu Yunyi's body was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Chu Qianchen wrinkled his nose, too lazy to talk to a drunkard.
"Go back home." Chu Qianchen ordered succinctly, feeling that this boy's current moral character was almost the same as that of Yue Ying who smelled the scent of nepeta.
The carriage drove forward amidst the shouts of the coachman, leaving the fourteenth floor behind.
The square-faced boy stared at the carriage at the door for a while, then returned to the Little Red Building and hurried back to report to his master.
There was still silence in the carriage.
After Chu Qianchen's sneer, no one spoke or made any sound.
As the silence spread, Chu Yunyi became more and more embarrassed.
He originally thought Chu Qianchen would scold him, but Chu Qianchen ignored him.
Chu Yunyi pursed his thin lips tightly and said nothing, with a hint of anger.
The sound of horse hooves and wheels was particularly loud in this silent night.
After speeding through two streets, the sound of messy horse hooves suddenly came from the other end of the street. The sound of horse hooves gradually got closer and closer. Eight or nine Jinyi guards holding torches galloped towards this side, and their carriages A head-on collision.
The driver had no intention of giving way and continued driving.
Of course, those people in Jinyiwei saw the carriage on the street and stopped their horses one after another.
"Hush!"
The torches they held burned brightly, illuminating the front and rear.
The leader of the army, General Qi Yiwei, yelled angrily: "Stop the car!"
"Who are you? There is a curfew now, and you are still wandering around here. How brave you are! Do you want to spend the night in Beizhen Fusi?!"
Being blocked by the Jin Yiwei, the driver had to stop the carriage, and the two parties faced each other not far away.
Chu Yunyi, who was in the carriage, was already listless. After hearing this, the anger he had been holding in his heart rose again.
The curfew was against the law, but it was just a matter of fines. Jin Yiwei really used chicken feathers as arrows.
He wanted to get out of the car, but Chu Qianchen pinched his wrist.
"Want to fight again?!" Chu Qianchen raised his eyebrows, and before Chu Yunyi could say anything, he replied, "No, he must have gone drunk and crazy."
Chu Yunyi: "..."
amber:"…"
At this time, Jiang Yuan outside said in a serious tone: "Princess, someone wants to invite us to visit Beizhen Fusi."
There was no ups and downs in her words, but she couldn't hide the sarcasm.
Only then did several Jin Yiwei notice that sitting next to the coachman was a handsome young man in Tsing Yi. His body looked very thin, and he seemed to be a woman disguised as a man.
The commander-in-chief's heart skipped a beat when he realized that the other person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
A guard in imperial robes behind him sneered and said disdainfully: "So what about the princess..."
At this time, the commander-in-chief hurriedly interrupted his subordinates: "How presumptuous! What nonsense are you talking about!"
The two words "Princess" are like a key, opening a lock in Zong Qi's memory.
He finally remembered that this young man disguised as a man was clearly the maid accompanying Princess Chen.
Last time, Mr. Ding Qi was dismissed from his post and kicked out of Jinyiwei because he stopped Princess Chen's carriage on the road and made some teasing remarks. This incident was an advantage for him, allowing him to raise the general flag.
He has only held the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard for just over a month, and he still doesn't want to lose his position.
Thinking about how they had just spoken out wildly about wanting to take Princess Chen back to prison, he broke into a cold sweat.
The few imperial guards accompanying him were stunned and confused.
The commander-in-chief smiled at Jiang Yuan with an overly attentive smile, "It turns out to be the princess. It's my fault that I didn't recognize the carriage from Prince Chen's palace just now. I hope you won't be offended."
Zong Qi felt in his heart that Princess Chen was really deliberately trying to trick people. If we can’t offend her, why can’t we hide her? When your majestic princess goes out for a walk, can't you take the Zhulun Chariot of Prince Chen's Mansion? ! What kind of "white dragon fish suit" are you playing?
Only then did the Jin Yiwei realize that the person in the carriage was Princess Chen.
Last time, General Ding Qi stopped Princess Chen's carriage, and the incident ended up causing even the commander of the Jinyi Guard to be scolded by the emperor. This incident was also spread among the Jinyi Guards, and everyone knew about it.
One of them was so frightened that his hand slipped and the torch fell to the ground, causing a lot of sparks and burning the tail of a horse. It immediately caused a commotion and several horses neighed anxiously.
Jiang Yuan still looked cold, without even moving his eyebrows, and asked calmly: "Then can we go?"
"Okay, okay!" Zongqi said repeatedly.
Then, he angrily scolded his subordinates: "Still not giving way!"
Several Jin Yiwei quickly made way for the carriage.
The driver waved his whip, and the horses continued to pull the carriage and galloped forward, never looking back.
After that, the carriage never stopped again and drove smoothly through two more streets before entering Prince Chen's Mansion.
Chu Qianchen got off the carriage first, and Chu Yunyi followed behind her. The smell of alcohol on his body was still there.
He blinked his hazy drunken eyes and looked around. He didn't know where he was. He only remembered that this was not the Yongding Marquis Mansion.
"Go home!" Chu Yunyi took Chu Qianchen's hand and wanted to pull her into the carriage, "Let's go home!"
His voice was firm.
Chu Qianchen was a little amused and ordered Jiang Yuan: "Drag the person in!"
Jiang Yuan pinched the acupuncture point on Chu Yunyi's wrist twice with quick movements. Chu Yunyi let go of her hand, and she called two women to drag her inside.
Chu Yunyi was still drunk and was still talking nonsense: "If you don't want to go back to the Hou Mansion with me, then don't go back."
"There I am!"
"I'm going to buy a house, and you can live with me from now on."
“…”
What Chu Yunyi said was confusing. Amber held her forehead, Chu Yunyi was really drunk, so he even forgot that the princess was married.
Chu Yunyi was dragged into the Shaohua Hall. Chu Qianchen had been putting up with him for a long time. He wrinkled his nose and said in disgust: "You smell like alcohol... bring me some hangover tea."
In fact, even if Chu Qianchen didn't give orders, the little maid would have already prepared the hangover tea.
Chu Qianchen personally took the cup of hangover tea. The maids originally thought that she was going to feed Chu Yunyi the tea herself, but they didn't want to—
There was a "crash" sound.
Chu Qianchen poured the cup of hangover tea in his hand directly towards Chu Yunyi.
The tea was poured directly on Chu Yunyi's hair and face, dripping down from his forehead, eyebrows, eyelashes... and even his front was wet.
Chu Yunyi was half sober in an instant.
He blinked his eyelashes, which were stained with water drops. Only then did he realize that this was not a dream.
He was captured by Chu Qianchen.
Thinking about how he was dragged out of the fourteenth floor by the people from Prince Chen's Mansion, and how he was dragged here, Chu Yunyi suddenly felt a little unable to lift his head, and his ears felt slightly hot.
He wiped his face with his sleeve in a covert manner, and his face became so hot that he really wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
"You splashed me!"
Chu Yunyi's original intention was to question Chu Qianchen, but after he spoke the words, these three words revealed a deep sense of grievance.
Chu Qianchen sat elegantly on an armchair, "Not only do I splash it, I also hit it."
She suddenly kicked Chu Yunyi on the calf.
If Chu Yunyi was not drunk now, he might still be able to hide, but he had just drunk a lot of wine and his body reactions were a little slow. He staggered to the ground after being kicked by Chu Qianchen.
Chu Yunyi felt pain in his calves and knees, remembering the last time he was thrown to the ground by Chu Qianchen.
He comforted himself in his mind: It's not that he can't beat her, this is his sister in front of him, and he can't beat her.
The others wisely withdrew without disturbing the princess's training. Only Chu Qianchen, Hu Hu's master and servant, and Chu Yunyi were left in the hall.
The little black cat Yueying came upon hearing the sound and looked into the room curiously.
"I was wrong." Chu Yunyi admitted his mistake very well. He got up from the ground and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Qianchen didn't hit him again.
Chu Qianchen took the newly served tea from Amber, slowly brushed off the foam on the tea soup with the tea lid, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Yunyi: "..."
Chu Yunyi actually didn't know where he went wrong.
He remembers drinking in a restaurant at first, and then being asked to drink on the 14th floor. He's twelve years old, can't he even drink? !
"I shouldn't drink..." Chu Yunyi said dejectedly, with a look of slight grievance on his face, coupled with his wet hair and face, he looked like a pitiful drowned cat.
Chu Qianchen naturally saw it and said, "Drinking in Jiaofangsi?"
"Jiaofang Si?" Chu Yunyi repeated blankly.
Isn't he on the fourteenth floor? Wait, does the 14th floor belong to the Jiaofang Division?
"Meow?" The little black cat also meowed, walked past Chu Yunyi, and jumped lightly onto Chu Qianchen's lap.
Chu Qianchen raised his eyebrows and said, "You also asked someone to accompany you?"
"To accompany you?" Chu Yunyi repeated again.
He originally only remembered that he was drinking with Mr. Yi and the others, but now that he thought about it carefully, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a few dancers dancing on the fourteenth floor just now, and a few thinly dressed maids serving drinks...
Chu Yunyi's face suddenly became uglier, turning blue, white, and purple.
Chu Qianchen smiled half-heartedly and said, "The soft jade is warm and fragrant?"
"..." Chu Yunyi was so frightened that he felt weak at his feet and could not look directly into Chu Qianchen's eyes.
He had never gone to a place like the brothel Chu Guan before, but he didn't expect that he would make an exception today.
Chu Yunyi immediately felt as if his reputation had been ruined in one fell swoop. His thin lips pursed tightly, and his pupils flickered uncertainly.
Chu Qianchen looked at him calmly and asked: "Are the people who were with you on the fourteenth floor 'Looking for Flowers and Asking Willows' today your friends?"
Chu Yunyi was stabbed again by the words "Looking for flowers and asking for willows", and felt that it was impossible to have a good conversation with his sister.
But today it was his fault first. He could only rack his brains to remember that there were still some people on the fourteenth floor just now, and then he replied obediently: "Shi Zice, Yicheng, Feng Linyuan... we occasionally play together." of."
"The rest of them don't know each other well and haven't spoken to each other much."
Seeing that Chu Qianchen had been ignoring her, the little black cat coquettishly rubbed its head against her chest and called out "meow" twice, which meant that you should ignore him and pay attention to me.
The little black cat looked at Chu Yunyi with hostility, thinking that he was here to steal people from the cat.
Chu Yunyi felt that he was disliked by a cat and stared at it.
Chu Qianchen's voice rang in his ears again: "What is Article 18 of Xuanjia Camp's military training?"
Chu Yunyi stayed in Xuanjia Camp for a month and practiced with them every day. He had to read and memorize it every day. He blurted out: "No prostitution..."
There are twenty military regulations in Xuanjia Camp, some of which are military regulations of the imperial court, and some of which are set by King Chen. This eighteenth article is the latter.
Chu Yunyi went drinking today because he was not on duty and was not in the camp, so he did not break the ban. However, hanging around a brothel was prohibited by order.
Chu Qianchen naturally knew this too. She had memorized the military regulations of Xuanjia Camp by heart as early as in her previous life.
Chu Qianchen asked again: "What is the tenth article of supervision and training in the Imperial College?"
"..." Of course Chu Yunyi also knew.
Supervisors are not allowed to go to the brothel or Chu House.
His head lowered, too ashamed to face those green cat eyes.
Before Chu Yunyi could answer, Chu Qianchen picked up the little black cat and left without looking back.
The little black cat felt that it had won the battle for favor. It "oohed" at Chu Yunyi in demonstration, yawned with satisfaction, and closed its eyes.
Chu Yunyi stood there blankly, clenching his fists tightly.
His hair was still dripping with water and fell to the ground with a "tick-tick" sound.
After the fuss just now, he had completely sobered up.
He was not stupid. After thinking about it and combining it with Chu Qianchen's words, he immediately understood what the problem was.
He was drinking alone in a restaurant, and then Shi Zice and the others took him to the fourteenth floor. He didn't know where the fourteenth floor was, but Shi Zice and the others kept saying that they would take him to a "good place". The two of us are obviously regular visitors there. Do we not know where that place is?
Shi Zice and the others knew that he was admitted to the Imperial College, and they also knew that the Imperial College students could not go to brothels.
But they still took him to the fourteenth floor.
Either they didn’t think of this taboo at the moment, or—
That's what they did on purpose.
As soon as he thought that Shi Zice and Yicheng might have done it on purpose, Chu Yunyi felt as if a mountain was pressing on his heart, making him feel stuffy and breathless.
It was clearly August, but Chu Yunyi's limbs were numb with cold, as if he had been thrown into the ice and snow all of a sudden.
He actually already had the answer in his mind—
They did it on purpose.
Therefore, when the people from Prince Chen's Mansion went to look for him on the fourteenth floor, they deliberately instigated him to have a fight with them. Even though he was taken away, they did not say that they would rush to the Yongding Marquis Mansion for questioning.
They just sat back and watched as he was taken away by a group of strangers.
Chu Yunyi raised his hand to cover half of his face, showing an extremely bitter smile.
He is really useless.
He was just one step away from being dragged into the pit, and Chu Qianchen had to come and rescue him personally... He had embarrassed Chu Qianchen again.
Thinking about the stupid things he had done, Chu Yunyi couldn't help but raise his hand and hit himself **** the forehead.
He stood there for a while, then slowly turned around and faced the hall door.
The courtyard outside was empty, and Chu Qianchen had long since disappeared. Only the silver moonlight poured down on the ground, flowers and trees.
Chu Qianchen was walking on the road leading to the main courtyard with the little black cat in his arms. Amber was walking in front holding a lantern. Jiang Yuan was walking beside Chu Qianchen and reported the situation that the secret guard had just found out: "Princess, that Shi Zice is the sixth son of the Marquis of Chang'an, and he also wants to enter the Imperial Academy."
"When the Imperial College was recruiting students last month, his family made arrangements in advance and reserved a quota in advance. As long as his ranking is among the top, the Imperial College will give priority to admit Shi Zice."
Chu Qianchen touched the little black cat that had fallen asleep in her arms and asked to the point: "Did the historian take a fancy to Chu Yunyi's quota?"
"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Everyone who participated in the Imperial Academy's martial arts examination is a son of a noble family. The Marquis of Chang'an wanted to be a soft persimmon, so he set his sights on the spot of the eldest son of Chu. He wanted the eldest son of Chu to be given to Shi Zi. Give way."
"But it happened that on the day of the exam, Princess, you went to the Imperial College."
Marquis Yongding is nothing, but Chu Yunyi is King Chen's brother-in-law. This level alone has to be considered.
The martial arts test at the Imperial Academy was divided into two parts, one was the martial arts test and the other was the literary test. The martial arts test was an obvious one, and everyone knew that Chu Yunyi won the first place in the martial arts test.
If King Chen did not pursue the case, the Imperial College could still say that Chu Yunyi did not perform well in the second literary test, but if King Chen did pursue it, the Imperial College would naturally not be able to explain it to him.
The people in the Imperial College were also talented people, so they had no choice but to recommend Shi Zice's family and hire Chu Yunyi.
"It's a good calculation."
Chu Qianchen curled her lower lip with a half-smile, and under the cold moonlight, her jade-like skin exuded a faint cool sheen.
The moonlight reflected in her phoenix eyes, and the light overflowed and was unparalleled.
Amber nodded with deep understanding.
Jiang Yuan continued: "The Imperial Academy has not yet started school, and the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion is trying to scare the eldest son of Chu. If he breaks his leg like the Marquis of Yongding, he will have to drop out of school, and Shi Zice can naturally come in as a substitute."
"In the past month, Mr. Chu has been staying at Xuanjia Camp, and Shi Zice has never found a chance."
"Today Shi Zice and Mr. Yi happened to meet Mr. Chu drinking alone in a restaurant, so they went over and poured a few glasses of wine into Mr. Chu, and while he was a little drunk, they coaxed him away for ten seconds. The fourth floor.”
"Today, if we had gone a step later, they would have made Mr. Chu drunk and prostituted himself on the fourteenth floor. With so many pairs of eyes watching, Mr. Chu would not be able to rely on him even if he wanted to."
It is not a big problem for officials to go to the fourteenth floor to drink and listen to music, but if they stay there for prostitution, they will violate the imperial order, and Chu Yunyi will definitely be expelled from the Imperial College.
This was Shi Zice's idea.
While talking, the three of them walked outside the main hall of the courtyard.
The little black cat seemed to know that it had reached the ground. It opened its eyes suddenly, looked in a certain direction in the room, and made an excited "meowing" sound.
It stared at a moth flying in the air with bright eyes. With a kick of its hind legs, it jumped out of Chu Qianchen's arms and chased the moth.
It only cared about chasing the moth, and jumped onto a high flower stand without hesitation, and then kicked off its legs again.
Before the moth could be caught, there was a "bang" and the azure vase on the tall flower table fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
amber:"…"
Amber felt very distressed. This is your kiln!
Chu Qianchen shook his head and said only one word: "Stupid!"
Jiang Yuan blinked. Was the princess talking about the cat, or about Mr. Chu?
