His expression when he was not smiling was like a god and Buddha on the high hall of the Golden Palace, but compared with those gods and Buddhas who purified all living beings, he lacked a sense of compassion for the heavens, his cool lips were pursed, and his eyebrows and eyes could not find a trace of difference like the favor of God. ”

"Don't you understand what we mean?" He glanced at her, his shoulders moved slightly, and the little eunuch standing next to him took two steps forward and handed him a carved hand stove, he took a handkerchief from his bosom and wrapped it in his hand. Mei Rui saw it in her eyes, and felt that this person was really strange, she wanted to be warm but was afraid of hot hands, how could there be such a thing in this world, in her opinion, if it was what she wanted, she would be willing to take chestnuts from the fire.

He seems to be inherently at odds with her, Mei Rui thought, otherwise why would she be so troubled so frequently by only one side, she eased her mind, and then said: "The slave really doesn't understand what the adult means, and I ask the adult for advice." ”

"I think so, how can Fei's mind be so big and admit it now," Lu Zhen's fingers rubbed across the Jinpa on the sinuous carving, and the corners of his lips hooked, "But even if you don't say it, I know who sent you." ”

He glanced at her contemptuously: "Go back and tell her, everything she wants and thinks is in vain, teach her to enjoy her glory and wealth with peace of mind, don't be greedy to the end, even mourning and glory have been done for yourself." ”

Unable to wait for Mei Rui to react, he raised his hand and asked her to be taken out, until Mei Rui was shaken by the cold wind outside the hall and came back to her senses.

The commander guard on duty at the door gave her a lamp before Mei Rui left, and Mei Rui smiled and thanked the commander and guard, and then returned to the court with a shoulder of moonlight.

From a distance, I saw Huaizhu looking at the door with a lamp, and my heart was suddenly full of a sense of steadiness, I had always been like stepping on a cloud, and I felt unrealistic no matter what, and now I really fell on the ground. She waved her hand at Huaizhu, the firelight in the palace lamp was blown crooked by the wind, and the handle fell to the ground like this, the fire candle inside was overturned, and the indigo tongue of fire ignited the paste paper, and the flames of more than an inch were raised, and the wind blew trembling, and finally weakened again.

In such a flash, Huaizhu had already run to her with the lamp, raised his hand and clenched his fist and slapped her right shoulder, listening to her voice as if she was about to cry: "Why are you missing again?" ”

The lights shone up from below, and the mottled light made Huaizhu's originally delicate face look a little hideous, but fortunately, there was moonlight, which lit up the place where she was not reflected by the lights, and covered her with a soft silver-white halo, she was very helpless: "I heard them say, you were taken away by the forbidden army, I thought you had committed something again, but you scared me to death?" There was a thick nasal voice between the words, "What is the reason for this time?" ”

Mei Rui picked up her sleeve and wiped it on her face, and said while wiping: "It's so cold outside, it's time to melt the snow, you have to cry in the snow, the tears just fell out of your eyes and became ice chains, see if you still cry." After a pause, he said, "Let's go back first, and then let's talk about it." ”

Huaizhu snorted, pulled Mei Rui to the house, the house had already grown charcoal, Mei Rui rubbed her neck after entering the door, and sighed: "But it's cold." ”

Huaizhu stopped crying at this time, and she was no longer so squeamish, and rolled her eyes at Mei Rui with a snort: "Do you still know that it is cold?" I thought you weren't afraid of the cold. ”

Mei Rui smiled: "How can there be people in this world who are not afraid of the cold? As she spoke, she began to undress, Huaizhu's movements were much sharper than hers, and she had already stripped off only her clothes and got into the quilt, and watched her slowly undress and fold them inside, and asked, "You haven't said what's wrong today?" ”

Mei Rui folded her clothes and lay down beside Huaizhu, she was a brazier that was not hot, Huaizhu leaned towards her, listened to her for a while, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants me to be his attendant." ”

"What?"

Huaizhu sat up in shock, she looked at Mei Rui incredulously, and asked again: "Rui Rui, what did you say?" ”

After hearing the exactly, Huaizhu couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Oh my God! Ruirui, you're going to get out of it! ”

"Huh?" Mei Rui didn't know what she meant by this, Huaizhu took her hand and said very happily: "Rui Rui, you are so stupid, today the first emperor made a will before his death, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the unification." She smiled and bent her eyes, "Rui Rui, you are now a noble person, you are the Imperial Shangyi!" ”

Mei Rui was really stunned, she didn't think of this at all, and she didn't even have time to accept it, she jumped from the female bachelor of the Literature Museum who no one cared about to the new royal Shangyi, Huaizhu was still chattering: "In this way, you can see those nobles every day, maybe any of them will take a fancy to you, and then ask the emperor to marry, this is a good blessing that others can't envy!" ”

Mei Rui responded, a little absent-minded, she felt that her life seemed to be disrupted by this sudden will, fortunately, Huaizhu was still immersed in her own imagination, she didn't notice her abnormality, and she didn't know how long Huaizhu said that she was also tired, so she leaned next to her and fell asleep.

She was about to fall asleep, but before she fell asleep, she remembered something very important, and she was suddenly so shocked that she was completely sleepy.

Lu Zhi is also a former servant, if he really becomes a royal Shangyi, wouldn't he have to face that evil god day and night?

This gave her a headache, and she didn't sleep well all night because she thought about Lu Zhen's mean expression, and the next day she was woken up by Huaizhu in a daze, and Huaizhu said in her ear: "On the first day of duty, Ruirui, you can have a snack." ”

Mei Rui sighed, only to get out of the futon, it is difficult to get up in winter, plus yesterday did not sleep well, Mei Rui was sleepy, when she walked out of the door, it was not yet dawn, she yawned, Concubine Rong's residence and Zichen Hall were on the way, and she walked with Huaizhu. Huaizhu didn't stop chattering all the way, Mei Rui listened to her with a smile, and finally Huaizhu reluctantly said goodbye to her, saying that she was very reluctant to her.

When he walked to the Zichen Hall alone, there was already a little eunuch waiting in front of the door, Mei Rui recognized that it was Zhou Shouhai beside Empress Zhao, so she saluted him and asked, "Gonggong Zhou is waiting for someone here?" ”

Zhou Shouhai was born with a fat head and big ears, a festive face, and smiled when he saw Mei Rui: "The girl is now a big celebrity in front of His Majesty, and she is worship......ed by the old slave."

He slowly raised his hand to salute, but Mei Rui hurriedly stopped him: "Father-in-law Zhou, you are joking with me, if you have something, just talk about it, slave and maid listen." ”

Zhou Shouhai didn't plan to really salute this little girl, thinking that she was led into the palace by him at the beginning, thinking that she could win a few blue eyes in front of the palace with her superior skin, but who knew that she was assigned to the Literature Museum that did not touch the world and did not touch the ground, and after so many years, she finally got ahead. His already small eyes narrowed into slits, his hands were put back into his cuffs, and he said in a sharp voice: "The Queen Mother is invited, let's go with our family." ”

Mei Rui was a little uncomfortable by his sharp voice, but she forced it down, she walked behind Zhou Shouhai, and thought of the strange temperament of Lu Zhen, compared with Zhou Shouhai, his mean words became spring and snow.

People really need to be compared, but why did Lu Zhi cut the roots to be an internal servant, she didn't think about it, it seemed that Huaizhu wanted to talk to her about the origin, but she said that she was not very interested in this matter, and Huaizhu did not continue to talk about it.

In front of Xingqing Palace, Mei Rui suddenly remembered that since the first emperor had returned to the sky, then Empress Zhao naturally became the Empress Dowager Zhao, and the last time she met the Empress Dowager Zhao alone was seven years ago, when she first entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Zhao was still a concubine, and time flies, so that she has the feeling that things are not human.

In the middle of the family, she came to Chang'an with a letter from Aya to join her so-called best friend of Ayena, but found that her best friend was today's Zhao Guifei, whose origin was about too deep, and she didn't want to pursue it, and finally she had a place to live, she still remembers Zhao Guifei's disgusted look when she saw her, as if she saw herself who was stupid many years ago.

But now it is different from the past, the former cardamom girl is now the youngest queen mother of this dynasty, full of pearls and phoenix crowns to make her demeanor dignified and virtuous, full of the demeanor of the mother of the world, she sat on a high seat, high bun and eyebrows, into the general, without the slightest anger.

It wasn't until Zhou Shouhai said to her: "Niangniang, Miss Mei is here." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao opened her eyes, only in those beautiful eyes can still find the remaining charm of the year, she held the phoenix shelf, looked at Mei Rui, now full of peony-like prosperous and gorgeous makeup, but she stood lightly in the Huacui, not dyed the slightest glamorous. Listening to her open her mouth to say goodbye, she was not pretentious, and her refreshing voice made Empress Dowager Zhao, who had been fighting with the harem warbler Yanyan all her life, hear it refreshingly.

"The last time the mourning family saw you was about seven years ago."

She spoke slowly, with vicissitudes of age in her tone, and beckoned to Mei Rui: "Come here, let the mourning family take a good look at you." ”

Mei Rui answered in a low voice, but she was still confused about the Queen Mother's intention to recruit her, naturally she was not looking for herself to catch up, otherwise she would not have talked about it for seven years, and on the second day when she became the royal Shangyi, she would invite herself to this Xingqing Palace to chat?

That is probably related to this matter, Mei Rui listened to Empress Dowager Zhao continue: "A little girl who was still so young back then, but now she has grown so big, she really looks more and more like your father, it's so good-looking." ”

Mei Rui smiled: "You are falsely praised, where can I compare to you?" ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "Your age is the best, the mourning family is cute and beautiful at your age, look at you, don't dress up, in the end, you will be the person in front of the emperor in the future, it is not suitable to be so simple." Saying that, he glanced at Zhou Shouhai, Zhou Shouhai immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant, and with a move of his hand, there were palace maids and eunuchs holding clothes and jewelry rushing out, and the Queen Mother patted her hand and said: "These things are prepared for you by the mourning family, go back and clean up, just like words." ”

Hard-headed to take those bells and whistles, Mei Rui kowtowed to the Queen Mother to thank the Queen Mother, and listened to the Queen Mother say: "The emperor was noisy and pointed to you as the imperial Shangyi, presumably you must have your superiority, from now on, you will look at the emperor more for the mourning family, and tell the mourning family if there is anything, you know?" ”
