A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 24
Xiao Jingduo jumped off the treetops three or two times and landed on the high wall of the Hou Mansion, just at this moment the out-of-control horse ran across the street, Xiao Jingduo stepped on the wall and ran for a few steps, then jumped up With a jump, he jumped directly to the startled horse.
The person on the horse seemed to know a little about riding. When she saw that she couldn’t control the horse, she immediately bent over and firmly grasped the horse’s mane. This was convenient for Xiao Jingduo, Xiao Jingduo held the reins tightly and forced the horse to stop.
The horse seemed to be in great pain, neighing and raising its hooves, before stopping in a circle. The frightened horse finally stopped, and Xiao Jingduo breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he have time to ask the person in front of him, “Are you alright?”
“The princess? How do you…”
Rong Ke didn’t seem to want to say more, and said weakly: “Help me down.”
Xiao Jingduo jumped down and helped Rong Ke dismount.
Rong Ke felt alive when she stepped on the ground. She wiped her hair casually, and immediately went around the horse to check.
He stood aside and silently watched Rong Ke walk around, wanting to see what she was going to do.
“It really is here!” Rong Ke walked around the horse’s tail, looked at it for a while, and said bitterly. She stood on tiptoe, as if she wanted to take something, but she was not tall enough for a horse’s legs, and she was thrown away by the horse’s tail twice.
Xiao Jingduo couldn’t see it anymore, so he stepped forward and asked tentatively, “Master, what do you want to bring?”
Only then did Rong Ke realize that there was someone next to her, she immediately put on the shelf of the daughter of the prince and the princess of Yangxin, and nodded her chin: “There is a needle next to the horse’s tail, you can help me take out.”
Needles on the horse hips? Xiao Jingduo was startled, and immediately looked up and walked to the place pointed by Rong Ke to examine it carefully. Sure enough, Xiao Jingduo pulled out a thin needle from the horse’s tail, the horse neighed in pain, and irritably scratched its hooves on the ground.
“There are needles, no wonder the horse is frightened.” Xiao Jingduo was shocked. With the cover of the tail mane, no one could find the abnormality on the horse’s butt, but once someone rode on the horse, the horse was stabbed by needles The pain will accelerate, and the faster it runs, the deeper the needle sticks, which becomes a vicious circle, and it is conceivable what will happen to the person riding on the horse.
Xiao Jingduo silently handed the fine needle to Rong Ke, without asking any extra questions. It seems that the royal family is not very peaceful.
Rong Ke seemed to have recovered from the shocking accident, she straightened her sleeves, and said to Xiao Jingduo seriously: “You saved my life, I have The favor will be repaid, and I will not treat you badly. What do you want?”
“No.” Xiao Jingduo shook his head, “I said I would repay you, so just treat it as your help when I return to the Duke Zhao’s mansion.”
Rong Ke looked at Xiao Jingduo, suddenly smiled: “Do you know who I am?”
“Naturally, the princess of Yangxin, the daughter of the prince.”
“Then you said that?”
Xiao Jingduo sighed, is the conflict in the palace so serious? How old is Rong Ke to be able to say such worldly words.
“I said I would repay you, but I didn’t mean anything else. If you’re still worried, just sit with me for a while.”
After speaking, Xiao Jingduo took the lead to sit on the stone steps, Rong Ke glanced at the stone several times, and then sat down.
After sitting down, Rong Ke tidied up his sleeves and praised Xiao Jingduo: “You are quite strong, that is my grandfather’s horse, and his temper is usually very fierce, not to mention when he is crazy, Not bad for you to be able to restrain Crazy Horse.”
Xiao Jingduo thought for a moment, Rong Ke’s grandfather… Isn’t that the saint of today! Was he riding a royal horse just now? Xiao Jingduo was about to break out in a cold sweat. “Could this be one of the six war horses that accompanied the saint to conquer the world?”
Rong Ke glanced at him strangely: “What do you think, those six horses are of great significance, and dozens of people watch them every day. I use the six horses privately, I look like Is that such a stupid person?”
Not like. Xiao Jingduo also reacted, this should be the royal horse offered to him, Rong Ke’s hands were itchy, and he secretly went to ride a horse, but was tricked by others. As for who was calculated and why, it was not something Xiao Jingduo should ask.
“After returning from Zhao Guogong’s mansion, did your stepmother embarrass you?” Rong Ke turned her head and noticed Xiao Jingduo’s plain clothes, her voice suddenly stopped, ” you…”
“My mother died.”
After being silent for a long time, Rong Ke said in a low voice, “My condolences.”
The pressure made him overwhelmed, and he actually talked about these days with a little girl who had only met twice on such a quiet afternoon.
Xiao Jingduo said that Rong Ke sat on the side and listened quietly. When he said that his stepmother wanted to banish him to the monastery for the purpose of eliminating evil spirits, Rong Ke couldn’t help but interject: “I’m afraid you are not Was it calculated?”
Xiao Jingduo smiled bitterly: “Of course I know, but after Xiao Ying invited Master Mingjue over, Master Mingjue also said that my killing was too heavy.”
“Mingjue is right, what he said is trustworthy, it seems to be true.” Rong Ke nodded, “I’ll explain why Jue disappeared, so he came to Dingyonghou Mansion. “
Xiao Jingduo also remembered what Xiao Ying said, today Anguo Temple is doing rituals, Anguo Temple is a royal monastery, and you can imagine what level it is to use Anguo Temple’s rituals. Xiao Jingduo finally knew why he saw Rong Ke here: “Did you sneak out of Anguo Temple?”
“Well.” Rong Ke nodded carelessly, even a little disgusted, “Did you react?”
Xiao Jingduo was at a loss for words, he shook his head amusingly, how old is Rong Ke, younger than his three cousins, what does he care about with a little girl, what is even more ridiculous is that he is also with a little girl My sister complained for so long. After Xiao Jingduo expressed the anguish in his heart, he really felt relieved. He stood up and planned to say goodbye: “It’s my rudeness to forgive the county master for so long today. The county master, it is not safe for you to be alone. It’s better to go back to Anguo Temple.”
Rong Ke also stood up, lowered her head to organize her appearance, and asked casually, “Then what are you going to do in the future, I have seen so many people, and your situation is too miserable.”
Xiao Jingduo laughed. He didn’t expect that one day, he would hear the words “Why are you so miserable” from a little girl. With a smile, he said lightly: “She can’t kill me with poisonous bees. It’s just a mere monastery, but what can she do to me? The worst thing is to be imprisoned in the barren mountains and mountains, but it’s not that much if she wants to kill me. easy.”
“Poison bee?” Rong Ke tilted her head, the light in her eyes slowly lit up, “What’s going on?”
As expected of a child who grew up in the palace, he is so vigilant about poison, medicine, and such things. Xiao Jingduo was helpless and could only tell Rong Ke what was not scary.
After listening, Rong Ke nodded thoughtfully: “Do you still have this kind of bee in your hand?”
“Yes, I caught two live ones.”
“Very good.” Rong Ke looked at him with a smile, obviously still the same demeanor, but the whole person suddenly changed from a harmless little girl to a prince’s daughter, a prince’s daughter Lord, “How about we make a deal?”
The author has something to say: Small Theater:

Off the field: easy? Will this work as well?
