Fu San'er followed behind, crying and saying with a sad face: "Adult, the little one is incompetent, and he can't stop Miss Huaizhu." ”

Huaizhu stared at Lu Zhi with a flushed face, his eyes were like knives, and he couldn't wait to cut his hand around Mei Rui's waist clean, and raised his voice: "Please protect the army with self-respect!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Zhi let Mei Rui get out of his arms, and was meeting Huaizhu's angry gaze, and said very indifferently, "How is the Shanggong Bureau compared to the previous Concubine Rong?" ”

Huaizhu raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry about the army, the slave is very good." She vigilantly protected Mei Rui behind her, and said righteously, "Men and women are not kissed, how can the guards enter the woman's boudoir without permission in broad daylight, it is really not a gentleman's doing, and please ask the guards to go out immediately." ”

She got angry and didn't choose what to say, even the most basic rules were forgotten, Mei Rui just wanted to say a few words to help her, but Lu Zhi said again: "I think you misunderstood something, I never said that I was a gentleman, on the contrary, I am an out-and-out villain." ”

The corners of his mouth tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I think Miss Huaizhu has heard these words many times, whether it is the words of the court's officials, or the gossip after tea and dinner." Furthermore, since I am a eunuch, I must not be considered a man, so where do I come from to give and receive kisses? ”

Mei Rui didn't expect that Lu Zhi was not angry because of Huaizhu's disrespect, but also played a scoundrel, Huaizhu was blocked by him and his face was red and white, and she was relieved at this time, and she was afraid that this protector would lose her life if she started a fire, so she had to grit her teeth with hatred, bow her head and stop talking.

It's time to come out and play a round, Mei Rui coughed and looked at Lu Zhen: "If the guards have something to do, go ahead first, and I won't send the escorts." ”

Her eviction order was straightforward, not even a little euphemistic, Fu San'er heard it speechlessly outside, but she didn't expect Lu Zhi to respond neatly: "That's right, Beiya still has some affairs to deal with, so I'll leave first, you have a good rest." ”

After that, he took off his robe and walked out, Fu San'er hurriedly followed when he saw this, and looked carefully at the look of his own guard, but he didn't see it at all, and he was faintly a little comfortable.

Lu Zhi walked out with her front foot, and Huaizhu closed the door with her back foot, she walked over with a blue face, looked at Mei Rui with round eyes, and said nothing, Mei Rui turned around casually and poured water for her, and asked, "Are you thirsty?" ”

Huaizhu pursed her lips, "I'm not thirsty." ”

"Drink it when you're thirsty," Mei Rui poured most of the glass of water, placed it on the table, and looked at Huaizhu calmly, "I know you have a lot to ask, just ask." ”

"Ruirui!" Huaizhu stiffened, "Have you never listened to my words?" ”

"I've listened to everything, but please forgive me that I can't help it," as if the wind was blowing the treetops outside the window, Mei Rui's expression was gentle and peaceful, and Huaizhu's heart palpitated, "The Protector is a very good man, even though the road under his feet is more bumpy and difficult than ordinary people, he has never complained." I have never set my own path, but the other day I figured it out, the high place is too cold, and I am willing to be with him on the high place. ”

Huaizhu looked at her in disbelief, as if she felt that she was crazy, "Rui Rui, when I asked you what you wanted to do, you told me that you wanted to travel the mountains and rivers, and now that you are like this, aren't you trapped in this imperial city?" ”

Huaizhu told the truth, Mei Rui once thought about what she would do after leaving the palace, at that time she was alone, there was no branch to rely on, and she really longed for the mountains and rivers in the travelogue, and she gave birth to such a heroic ambition. She is not a daughter raised according to the old rules, and her way of thinking is naturally much more jumpy, but it is only a little restrained as she gets older, Mei Rui is a little distracted, and sighs: "Yes, that was my wish." ”

"But now I have someone I care about."

I don't know where it started, I went deep, since my heart has fallen on others, the sky is high and the water is like chewing wax, she smiled: "Maybe walking side by side with him can withstand thousands of miles of boats?" ”

Huaizhu held back for a long time, and finally couldn't hate to talk about her again, only held her forehead and scolded her for being stupid, and was still complaining about herself: "Why didn't I stop you in the first place, I saw you jumping into the fire pit, but you are such a character, how can you not pull out the things you think, God, what face do I have to say that I treat you well?" ”

She cautiously took Mei Rui's hand, and every word was admonished, "Look, since you have made up your mind, it will never be the same anymore, you don't know about the things in the palace, the queen mother and the protector have long been on the same page, there is one thing you don't know, about Emperor Huai's Lu Guifei......"

"Concubine Lu?" Mei Rui was slightly surprised, she had never heard of this matter, Huaizhu sighed, stroked her head and said: "Probably you didn't like to listen to these things before, and the matter has nothing to do with you, so I never mentioned it to you." This is also what I heard in private, I don't know if it's credible or not, Lu Guifei is the eldest daughter of Lu Xiangye, and she is deeply favored by Emperor Huai, but when Lu Xiangye was convicted of collaborating with the enemy, Guifei was beaten into the cold palace, and two years later, she was humiliated, so she committed suicide. You know, it is a big crime for a concubine to commit suicide, and the people of the emperor's family, how can they control life and death, and not all of them are up to His Majesty. ”

If the concubine is the eldest daughter of Lu Xiangye, then she is Lu Zhen's sister, Mei Rui was in a trance, and she roughly figured out the joints, and frowned: "The concubine is the mother of His Majesty, when she was in the cold palace, the queen mother humiliated the concubine?" ”

Huaizhu belched, "Rui Rui, you are so smart, but this is just what is said below, on the surface, it is said that the concubine committed suicide, and it was our queen mother who ended it for the concubine." ”

Although Huaizhu likes to talk bastards on weekdays, but the things she says are generally the same, Mei Rui remembered the words that Lu Zhi asked the little emperor in the palace that day, and suddenly had an epiphany, she was a little shocked, touched her forehead and muttered: "The protector is actually the little uncle of His Majesty?" ”

No wonder he is so similar to the little emperor, he is a real flesh and blood relative, then Lu Zhen's doting on the little emperor is also reasonable, it is clear that it has nothing to do with the killing, Mei Rui read it three times It turned out to be so, but Huaizhu clenched his hand beside him, and said in a low voice: "Rui Rui, you will become Your Majesty's aunt now!" ”

Mei Rui didn't come up in one breath to choke on her, and coughed loudly, Huaizhu hurriedly came up to smooth her breath, Mei Rui opened her hand, angry and funny: "Why are you so poor with this mouth!" ”

Huaizhu smiled shyly, "Aren't I trying to please His Majesty's future aunt?" ”

Too lazy to talk to Huaizhu poorly, Mei Rui leaned over to pour water for herself, Huaizhu didn't know about the marriage turmoil, or Mei Rui took the initiative to confess to her, after listening to Huaizhu's face stretched long, grinding her teeth and hatefully: "I didn't expect him to be such a person!" What's the matter? ”

Mei Rui held her cheeks, and her thoughts didn't know where to go, listening to Huaizhu complaining, she only hooked the corners of her lips, "Fortunately, it has been solved, just wait for him to explain it to the Queen Mother." Huaizhu suddenly said again: "Ah, speaking of the Queen Mother, I remembered something again." ”

Mei Rui snorted and asked Huaizhu to continue, Huaizhu looked a little strange, leaned over, and whispered to her: "Do you know that the Queen Mother raised a male pet in Xingqing Palace?" ”

"What?"

But whatever Huaizhu wanted to say to her, she must not know, Mei Rui shook her head. Huaizhu was a little impatient and excited, and his eyes were full of light: "A few days ago, Prince Gong entered the palace, do you know that our King Gong is thinking about asking for immortals all day, and when he entered the palace, he also brought in the Taoist priest in the house on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be looked at by the Queen Mother, so he stayed in the palace, and now his grace is flourishing!" ”

"How can there be such a thing," Mei Rui frowned, and folded some romantic and handsome for no reason, "It has not been long since the funeral of the first emperor, and the queen mother will never be so ridiculous." Remembering what he said before, Zuo Huaizhu was not an outsider, so he said it casually, "Didn't you really take the wrong medicine?" ”

Huaizhu sighed, "I also heard that the Queen Mother recently listened to the words of the Taoist priest and is taking pills!" She sighed, "Speaking of which, the Queen Mother has also passed her youth, how can she say that she was also a beauty back then, isn't there a saying that says, are you most afraid of the twilight of beauty?" ”

The most important thing is that the world can't stay, Zhu Yan is a mirror and a tree, Mei Rui remembered that the Empress Dowager Zhao she saw in Xingqing Palace that day was indeed much plumper than before, not quite the same. She didn't want to think deeply, she only felt that she should find an opportunity to tell Lu Zhi about this matter, if Empress Dowager Zhao was really the one who harmed his sister in the first place, with Lu Zhen's heart, she would definitely not be able to let go.

How much I feel sorry for him, and if I am sincere, I can think of him in everything. In the palace, the two met in front of everyone and maintained the appearance of not being close to each other, the little emperor pestered to see Yunyu, Lu Zhi asked people to bring Yunyu over, and the little ancestor was interested again, saying that he wanted to go to the imperial garden with Yunyu to put paper kites.

There is no choice, and he can only go, Yun Yu is rarely happy, the little emperor is also happy to smile, Mei Rui and Lu Zhi walk behind, one is gentle and the other is beautiful, no matter how you look at it, they are all beautiful people in the painting.

Mei Rui looked behind her and saw that the palace attendants accompanying her were a little far away, so she lowered her voice and said to Lu Zhen: "Do you know that the one in Xingqing Palace is taking pills?" ”

Lu Zhi nodded, the spring was getting deeper, he walked under the flower tree, there were falling flowers floating on his shoulder, his smile was sparse, but he could taste some indulgent tenderness from it: "I know, but where did you hear about it." ”

He really knew that Mei Rui felt a little lost, but he was afraid that there were very few things in this palace that he didn't know, and she probably heard it from Huaizhu.

As soon as he heard that it was Huaizhu, Lu Zhi showed a look of understanding, "I guessed." ”

She urged, "The protector is really like a god. ”

Lu Zhi looked at her with a smile, "But what the bachelor told me is different from what I learned by myself." ”

Mei Rui was stunned, only felt that the roots of her ears were a little hot, turned her head to look, the bluestone road was facing a crowd of people, Empress Dowager Zhao walked in it with a graceful demeanor, and a pretty little girl beside her, wearing a honey-colored skirt, with a delicate chin, very arrogant.
