65. Acacia Haruka

Mei Rui snorted, her mind gradually became clearer, Zhao's face was smeared white, the rouge dotted twice on the side of her cheek, wrinkled her eyebrows and stared, she looked like a play, she bowed down and pulled Mei Rui's hair, and said sharply: "Aren't you very backbone, but get up and talk to the mourning family!" โ€

The scalp was torn painfully, Mei Rui's face turned pale, and she opened Zhao's hand with a wave of her arm, stepped back a few feet, and gasped: "If Niangniang is looking for someone and splashing it on my head, I think I have found the wrong person." She regained her spirits, looked at Zhao's โ–กโ–ก face, and felt disgusted in her heart, "Or does Niangniang feel that she is the same as she was in Xingqing Palace, saying that wind is rain?" It's not the same time anymore, mother. โ€

Zhao was very proud to brush her sideburns, and there was a rusty hairpin in her hair, I don't know where she picked it up in the cold palace, compared to the phoenix crown and cuiqiao, she glanced at Mei Rui angrily: "The mourning family is the queen mother, even the emperor has to be afraid of the mourning family for three points, not to mention that you are the emperor in front of Shangyi, and then the emperor favors you, it is just a slave, the mourning family wants to give you a marriage, and you have the courage to refuse?" Licentious! โ€

Zhao was delirious, Mei Rui raised her eyes slightly, patiently the anger in her heart, and said softly: "Yes, what Niangniang said is very true, thanks to Niangniang's wrong love, I don't know which family Niangniang wants to give the slave to which family?" โ€

She has never been so kind to the Zhao family before, she has always been respectful and far away, the Zhao family has always liked to see others respect her, Mei Rui's look in her eyes, she is very useful, but she still glanced at Mei Rui arrogantly: "Except for Lu Zhen, who else can look down on you?" Naturally, it is the unfortunate nephew of the mourning family. โ€

Zhao Chun.

Mei Rui sighed and lowered her eyes, "The Zhao family is a relative of the emperor, and the humble body of the slave and maid is just afraid that it will be high." โ€

"Naturally, it's a high climb!" Zhao raised his voice, "So the mourning family advises you, Hugh has to toast and don't eat and drink, your grandfather is an excellent example, how many times did the mourning family go to beg his father?" Only then did he allow him to join the Zhao family, he was dressed in white, and he was poor when he came to Chang'an, if it weren't for the mourning family, he was afraid that he would have starved to death in the City God Temple! Where is the opportunity to meet Lu Zhongcheng? He's good, the mourning family hasn't disliked him for having a wife and daughter in Jiangnan, but he can't even look down on this high-level family business, it's really good! My father felt that I was so embarrassed, but fortunately I didn't make a noise about it, and I entered the East Palace and became the crown princess. โ€

Mei Rui furrowed her eyebrows, listening to her babbling about the past again, and when she was tired of talking, she turned her head and muttered, "Where's the tea?" โ€

This is in the cold palace, where to find tea for her, Mei Rui rubbed her forehead, "Tea is in your palace, Niangniang." โ€

Zhao was very coaxing, and stroked his neckline, "That's right, the mourning family has always only drunk Xingong's pre-rain Longjing when drinking tea, and you don't have it here." She snorted softly, "Go back to Xingqing Palace." โ€

With that, he put his hands half-in the air and stepped out of the door.

Mei Rui stood up from the ground the moment her figure disappeared behind the door, she gritted her teeth, looked around, and couldn't find the window, the only way was the door that the Zhao family had just gone out of. Thinking that she should be somewhere in the cold palace, I don't know how long she has been imprisoned here, she moved her steps to go out, and only when she was about to reach the door, two bright silver blades appeared in the sky, and Nanya's guards said to her in a vicious voice: "Go back." โ€

She couldn't just hit her headlong on the blade, what a no-scratch thing, Mei Rui lowered her voice a little, very weak, and asked the two guards guarding her, "Is there any water?" โ€

The guard didn't answer, and she asked again, "Do you have anything to eat?" โ€

"Where do you have so much to do," shouted the guard, "go back and stay, or you're not welcome." โ€

She smiled, "Thinking about it, His Royal Highness doesn't want my life, if you find a corpse in this quiet room a few days later, I don't know what kind of anger will become." โ€

After saying that, he turned and went in, and the remaining guards looked at each other at the door, and after a discussion, one of them went to move the rescuers.

Half an hour later, Sui Yuan walked in with a food box Shi Shiran, and saw Mei Rui leaning against the corner, the quiet room was very dark, and she couldn't see her description, Sui Yuan put the food box on the table, and lit the candlestick, before calling her with a smile: "Cousin." โ€

She replied vaguely, sounding not very good, Sui Yuan said again: "Cousin Ruirui? โ€

Mei Rui raised her head, her hands still circled her legs, and she didn't move: "Why is my cousin here?" โ€

Sui Yuan smiled: "Isn't my cousin hungry?" My cousin brought you your favorite food in the past, come and try it. He brought out the dishes in the food box, it was a plate of dumplings, Sui Yuan winked at her, "Cousin knows that you don't like to eat leeks, and the cabbage stuffing specially asked someone to wrap for you, there is also a copper coin hidden in it, it just so happens that I haven't had dinner yet, you and I try to see who eats the dumplings with the copper coin hidden first, and it will be a blessing in the coming year." โ€

His smile was full of warmth, which reminded Mei Rui of Lu Zhen, her throat was astringent, and she choked up: "Copper coins? โ€

On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, Lu Shu also ordered someone to send dumplings to her, and also hid a copper coin, which was tied on the tassel by her, and now it is in her arms, Mei Rui covered her placket, the copper money seemed to be hot, and she whispered: "My cousin still remembers that I used to only love to eat cabbage." โ€

Sui Yuan said: "How can you not remember, because you only ate cabbage back then, my mother complained for a while, and after listening to it a lot, she remembered it." He watched her slowly approach, her slender figure under the candlelight, and the shadow seemed to be from the past, sitting in front of him, looking at him picturesquely, he couldn't help but lower his voice: "I just don't know if my cousin is still the same as before?" โ€

Mei Rui held the spoon, she was very hungry, very unceremoniously put one in her mouth, swallowed it for a moment before she felt the empty stomach warm, the feeling of fatigue subsided slightly, she took another one, and ate without saying anything.

Sui Yuan looked at her from the side, his expression was gentle, and he said to her from time to time, "Eat slowly, don't choke", "Cousin sister be careful, gobble, carefully swallow all the copper coins into her stomach, and become a toad that swallows treasures".

The plate full of dumplings was eaten by her and only one left, so he stayed on the plate, and he looked at her with his forehead: "My cousin didn't eat copper coins?" โ€

She was concentrating on chewing the dumplings in her mouth, and she didn't have time to take care of him, Sui Yuan picked up another pair of silver chopsticks, naturally picked up the last dumpling, took a bite gently, and sure enough, she bit the hot coin.

He smiled and bit out the coin with his teeth, put it on the plate, the four characters of Xuanyuan Tongbao were boxy on the copper coin, simple and solemn, Sui Yuan dipped his fingers in some water, and wrote on the table-

The Protector asked me to come and see you.
