The day after the jade carving Guanyin was 'sold', or redeemed by the craftsmen, Xi Yunzhi invited himself into the palace with the silver taels he earned.

Xiao Luo looked at the one million taels that were presented, looked at the woman kneeling under the dragon case with interest, and said with a smile while counting:

"Madame didn't pay out of her own pocket, did she?"

Xi Yunzhi shook his head: "The emperor is too worried, the thing was indeed bought at this price." If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to inquire and find out if it's true or not. ”

Xiao Luo walked out from behind the dragon case and asked Xi Yunzhi to get up and reply.

"Then I think it's strange, didn't the shopkeeper say that this thing is worth at most 30,000 taels? How can it change hands for a million taels? Didn't you lie to me before? ”

Xi Yunzhi was not surprised, and replied indifferently: "Back to the emperor, things are indeed only worth 30,000 taels, I believe that the emperor will go to visit secretly later, even if Xi Yunzhi has the courage, he does not dare to deceive the emperor with this matter." ”

Xiao Luo was rightly told by her, and after listening to her, he did send someone to probe the truth and confirm that what Xi Yunzhi said was true, he just bought a fake and came back.

But a fake, she can sell it for such a high price, which makes him have to be curious.

Xi Yunzhi told the truth of the matter: "...... In this way, the identity of the wife of the subordinate woman was there, which confirmed the rumors even more, and those craftsmen felt scared, so they would naturally come to redeem them, and I was just sitting on the ground and raising the price to teach them a lesson. ”

Xiao Luo listened and listened, and then stood still. After a long time, he asked:

"So...... Now the whole Bluestone Street knows that I ...... Bought a fake? ”

Xi Yunzhi lowered her head and was silent, which was regarded as acquiescence, Xiao Luo only felt that she couldn't cry or laugh when she saw her like this, but she also had to admit that this woman was very flexible, and she didn't clearly pierce the layer of window paper, but she could deter the other party very well.

Forget it, he didn't lose anything, and he earned back 500,000 taels to the treasury.

Seeing her standing like that, the whole person was as thin as an empty valley orchid, her low-hanging face looked so quiet, and the mouth, although it was not ruddy and gorgeous, but it was pink and fragrant, which made him can't help but tighten his throat.

Xi Yunzhi didn't know what the emperor was thinking at this time, but she was thinking about another thing in her mind, and said hesitantly:

"Your Majesty, in addition to giving these silver coins to the palace today, the lower wife also wants to bargain with the emperor."

Xiao Luo was worried that she had nothing to do with him, and after hearing her say this, he nodded briskly: "Okay, as long as Madame speaks, there is nothing I can't give you." ”

Xi Yunzhi didn't hear the pun in Xiao Luo's words, and took a step forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the lower wife knows that she is a female streamer, and she can't do anything big, but she feels that the embroidery of female workers is still passable, if the emperor allows, the lower woman is willing to make clothes and armor for the soldiers of the world to drive away the cold and resist the enemy."

Xiao Luo looked at Xi Yunzhi and was stunned for a long time: "You mean...... Do you want to be a quartermaster? ”

Xi Yunzhi looked at Xiao Luo calmly: "The subordinate woman can't smelt steel, and she can't make military weapons, but the soldier's warm clothes and armor can still be customized." ”

Her idea was so surprising that Xiao Luorao is emperor sounded a little incredible, rubbing his hands and hesitating:

"This ...... The military affairs are all in charge of the left minister and the town of Guogong, and it is not easy to replace them rashly, so you let me think about it, how about it? ”

Xi Yunzhi knelt down to Xiao Luo again: "The wife thanked the emperor first." ”

After saying that, Xi Yunzhi wanted to retire, Xiao Luo was anxious, so he stopped her, Xi Yunzhi looked at him puzzled, the water-like cut pupils were as black and bright as black jade, and when she stared at him like this, Xiao Luo only felt that his heart was beating faster like a hairy young man.

"That...... It's not early, Madame might as well stay in the palace for dinner, and after the meal, I will send the Imperial Forest Army to send you back. ”

Xi Yunzhi didn't expect the emperor to open his mouth to keep dinner, thinking that Xiao An was going to eat the white sugar cake she made today, if she stayed in the palace to eat, she would be too sorry for Xiao An, so she said euphemistically:

"This ...... It wasn't getting late, my family was waiting at the house, and I didn't say a word to them when I came. ”

Xiao Luo didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he immediately stopped in front of her and said, "I can send someone to the General's Mansion to spread the word now." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Luo summoned Liu Chao, and was about to ignore Xi Yunzhi's obstruction and let him go to the General's Mansion to spread the word, when a eunuch chanted loudly outside the Zhongyuan Palace:

"The queen has arrived—"

Xi Yunzhi was relieved and turned to the side to welcome the arrival of the queen.

Xiao Luo looked at Zhen who didn't know why, Zhen helped Xi Yunzhi up, turned his gaze between the two of them, and said gently:

"When the concubine heard that Yunzhi was in the palace, she specially came to pick her up and go to Kunyi Palace for dinner. Excuse me from talking about things? ”

Xiao Luo turned his back to her and expressed his unhappiness with his actions, but Xi Yunzhi knew how to seize the opportunity and said to Zhen:

"Xie Niangniang is worried, Yunzhi's stomach happens to be a little hungry."

Zhen smiled at her, Xi Yunzhi bowed down to Xiao Luo and said goodbye, Xiao Luo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhen:

In this way, the concubine also retired. Yunzhi, let's go, this palace has prepared your favorite jujube paste yam cake. ”

"Thank you, mother."

The two walked out of the Zhongyuan Hall together.

Affectionately walked to the Imperial Garden, Zhen let go of Xi Yunzhi's hand, and after retiring from the palace, he said coldly to Xi Yunzhi:

"My Miss Xi, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid, don't you see the emperor's thoughts about you? If I hadn't arrived today, would you dare to imagine what would have happened next? ”

Xi Yunzhi looked at Zhen and didn't speak for a long time, in fact, just now, she did feel the fanatical persecution from the emperor, she was not good, but there was nothing she could do.

Seeing that Xi Yunzhi didn't speak, Zhen also felt that maybe his emotions were a little out of control, so he couldn't help but take Xi Yunzhi's hand again, and said with restraint and gentleness:

"The emperor I have seen through this person, he is a man who will do anything to achieve his goal, whether it is to the country or to women, he has this attitude, I am tied to him, sitting in today's high position, the world envy me for my good luck, but where do they know my suffering, when I was exiled to the northwest, what kind of indiscriminate life did I live with him, do you know? Sometimes, in retrospect, even I look down on myself. ”

The more Zhen said, the more emotional he became, Xi Yunzhi wanted to step forward to comfort her, but she raised her hand to stop her, only to see Zhen say to Xi Yunzhi in a showdown:

"Yunzhi, I hope you don't enter the palace if you're okay in the future. I won't take the initiative to pass on you anymore, you have a good home, a happy family, you can't destroy everything now for such a golden wire cage that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, I'm not the princess who laughed with you and went crazy with me in the past, I'm the queen, my mother is the world, I'm high, I don't allow anyone to rob me of my superiority, don't think about the women in this palace, don't think about you, my former best friend, don't think about it. Do you understand? ”

“……”

Zhen's words hit Xi Yunzhi's heart hard, making her still in a trance-free when she went out of the palace gate.

She didn't see that Zhen's had changed, she had become ambitious, and she had become gloomy and deep, Xi Yunzhi knew that these changes were all instinctive changes that Zhen used to deal with the harem, and when anyone was in such a dangerous environment, everyone was eager to pull her down and replace her, Xi Yunzhi didn't blame her at all, but was grateful that she could tell her truthfully, and she was also moved and guilty that she couldn't help her.

The reason why she thought of going to the palace to ask the emperor for that errand today was actually to make her career bigger, as long as she was strong enough, then her husband would not need to do such a dangerous thing in the court.

However, it turned out that everything was self-righteous and naïve.

Lost his soul and returned home, adjusted his mentality, and went to the kitchen to make white sugar cakes for Xiao An. But when the little guy went out to play with the old lady Bu in the afternoon, he ate a lot of other things, and his little stomach couldn't stuff the sugar cake made by her mother at all.

Xi Yunzhi brought it to the room with a little melancholy, since the small ones don't eat them, let's give them the big ones to eat, anyway, both their father and son love to eat.

The melodious sound of the flute came again, and it was the same tune as last time.

Xi Yunzhi wanted to go to the backyard to find her father, but she didn't expect the servant in the backyard to tell her that Master Xi went out in the afternoon, saying that he was drinking at Sun Moon Lake with someone.

Xi Yunzhi roughly understood what her father was doing.

The sound of the flute penetrated her ears, stirred her heart, and said to the porter Lao Lu, and then she also got into the carriage that rushed to Sun Moon Lake in the city, and arrived after a while.

Xi Yunzhi stood on the arched bridge where people came and went, and suddenly heard someone calling her, and looked at the voice, at the other end of the river, there was a private room on the second floor, by the window, a person was waving to her, not her father Xi Zheng, but who was it.

Xi Yunzhi walked across the arched bridge, went to the restaurant where they were, and walked up to the private room on the second floor.

Her father held on to the railing, stood at the entrance of the corridor to pick her up, and walked into the private room, only to see Gu Ran leaning against the window with a smile, her father Xi Zheng was a little drunk, but his expression was very excited, pointing at Gu Ran and saying to Xi Yunzhi:

"Yunzhi. He is Yun Ran. Daddy has finally found your brother. ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi supported his crooked father, looked at Gu Ran with a clear face, and was silent for a long time, after Xi Zheng said a few words, he got drunk and fell on the soft couch, and in the huge private room, only Xi Yunzhi and Gu Ran were left.

I saw Gu Ran bend down to Xi Yunzhi, put his face in front of Xi Yunzhi, and said to her meaningfully:

"So you're my sister. Seat shopkeeper. ”

Xi Yunzhi looked at the aggressive face in front of him, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and blurted out:

"You're not Yun Ran at all, who are you?"
