Chapter 268: Muddy
The mamma who led the way walked one step ahead with a lamp, and the oncoming wind through the long street was very ethereal, blowing the lantern in her hand all the time, and the dim light could not necessarily illuminate the road clearly.
Zhao Ruotong followed behind her grandmother with tight steps, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad in her heart.
Fortunately, the prince was not deposed, and if there is a husband and wife between them, then they must marry, not to mention that the prince's side concubine is stronger than the princess of Zhennan, the monarch and the minister are different, she still stands in a higher place than Su Mo.
It's just a pity that she has a little love for King Zhennan in her heart......
Zhao Ruotong's eyes darkened in an instant, and Su Mo couldn't get what she couldn't get! There was a cold disease on her body that involved King Zhennan, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking of this, her steps became more and more brisk, and the blue bricks and tiles on both sides seemed to have a unique style in her eyes, which made people intoxicated.
The palace is really big, and imagining that he will live here in the future makes me a little nervous and a little expectant.
She will not be like today's queen who has 3,000 beauties in the emperor's harem, but she doesn't even have an heir under her knees.
Zhao Ruotong's expression was slightly proud, and the steps under her feet also floated, and she couldn't bear to look inside a few times when she passed by Concubine Zhang's palace gate.
When the grandmother had walked for a while, she heard no footsteps behind her, so she turned back and shouted, "Girl, go quickly, it's already dark." ”
Zhao Ruotong smiled and continued to follow Mama's steps.
"The queen said that in a few days, she will teach Aunt Xi to go to the girl's house to teach you the rules of the palace, and I hope that the girl will study well. ”
The old lady walked in front with the lamp, occasionally leaning sideways slightly to tell her a few words, revealing a rigorous and old-fashioned style all over her body.
"Mama rest assured, please tell the queen mother, the courtiers will study carefully. Zhao Ruotong hooked her lips and smiled, showing a well-behaved appearance.
The grandmother in front of her has been in the palace for many years, and her hair is gray, how can she be fooled by her little girl, but she is just a clever and obedient on the surface, although she sees through it, she doesn't say anything superfluous.
"If only the girl bothered. ”
Zhao Ruotong smiled slightly and followed behind her mother silently, and walked about another cup of tea before walking to the gate of the palace.
"I'll send the girl here, the carriage is ahead, and someone will send the girl back to Su Mansion in good condition. Mama turned around and disappeared into the night, only a flickering lamp reminded Zhao Ruotong that this was not a dream.
Mother Chi waited at the door for several hours, her hands were cold, and the candle flame was almost burning, when she saw a familiar figure open the gate and walk into the courtyard.
"Big girl. She suddenly burst out from behind the rockery and whispered.
Zhao Ruotong gasped in fright, and took several steps back.
"What are you doing, Mother Chi!, sneakily scare me to death!" Zhao Ruotong covered his chest with his hands, and his face was terrified.
Mother Chi didn't dare to say much, so she could only bend down to apologize, raised her head and said slowly: "Hey, big girl, the old slave has been waiting for you here for a long time, and the little lady said, let you go to her as soon as you come back." ”
"Did the little lady say anything?" Zhao Ruotong picked up the handkerchief in his hand and covered his mouth, and involuntarily yawned.
Mother Chi followed behind her and replied, "Back to the girl, the little lady didn't say what happened, maybe she heard that you were left behind by the queen, so she was a little anxious." ”
"What's the urgency, I'm such a big person and I won't lose it. Zhao Ruotong's eyes were half-open, and his face was full of expressions, and I didn't want to say another word.
He didn't look for trouble anymore, and only concentrated on carrying the lamp to illuminate Zhao Ruotong.
After the two walked on a path paved with bluestone slabs, they were suddenly stopped by a small servant beside Su Tianling.
"Big girl, the master asked you to go to the study, he has something to say to you. The little guy stood on the other side, blocking their way.
Zhao Ruotong almost couldn't help but roll his eyes, he just stepped into the door, and he had to talk about this and that one, and he was very annoyed.
But there is no way, complaining is complaining, you must go, Zhao Ruotong turned to Chi's mother and said, "You go back and tell Xiaoniang that I went to my father's place, and I will go back later." ”
Mother Chi nodded and walked in the direction of Jing Shui Zhai, and Zhao Ruotong and the little guy turned around and went to the study.
Su Tianling was sitting behind the bookcase, with many books and some broken porcelain scattered on the ground, and a pair of eyes were staring sharply at the door.
Zhao Ruotong carefully bypassed those things and came to the bookcase, and asked softly and weakly: "Daddy, this is ......?"
"You kneel down for me!" Su Tianling threw the teacup in his hand towards her.
Zhao Ruotong screamed and shrunk his arms and retreated, "Daddy, why is this?"
"I'll let you kneel!" Su Tianling scolded loudly, his face flushed.
Zhao Ruotong's legs were weak and he knelt in front of Su Tianling, "I don't know if my daughter did something damn wrong to make my father so angry." ”
"Let me ask you, why were you left in the palace by the queen today?" asked Su Tianling with squinted eyes.
Zhao Ruotong's face froze, obviously because he didn't think of a perfect set of words.
"Yes...... It's because of the prince's business......" Zhao Ruotong reluctantly glanced up at the gloomy face behind the bookcase, and there were many uncertainties in his heart.
Su Tianling's face was serious, and he kept staring at Zhao Ruotong without speaking, and the anger churning in his eyes intensified.
"Daddy...... It's not what I want, it's just that it has happened, and my daughter is a victim. Zhao Ruotong knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and the tears fell down like a poured marble jar.
"It's not what you want, do you know what the emperor will think in his heart?" Su Tianling was softened by her crying again, and the anger just now disappeared.
But he had to pretend to reprimand a few words on his face, so as not to make the eldest lady of his Xianyun Pavilion unhappy.
"Daddy, if I can marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it may not be a good thing for our family......" Zhao Ruotong glanced at Su Tianling cautiously, and dared to continue when he saw that he didn't react much.
"You have worked so hard for the country for so long, but you are only a young master of Dali Temple, if we can borrow the prince to ascend to the sky in one step......"
"Bastard, shut up!" Su Tianling got up from his seat, hurriedly walked to the door with messy steps, opened the two carved wooden doors and looked around for a long time, and saw that no one hurried back to the house.
"Do you know what will happen if someone else hears what you say!?"
