Chapter 35: The Rain

Thinking about Ziyi, early the next morning, Xiao Mo asked Xiaoliu to take her to Qingzhuxuan to have a look.

"Where the hell is this Qingzhu Xuan?"

Xiao Mo glanced around lightly, and followed Xiao Liu forward, as if he was getting more and more remote. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Qingzhuxuan is a little far, and you can get there by walking."

"Ziyi is the county lord, why does she live in that remote place?"

Xiao Mo was puzzled, even if she was not a princess, she should be raised in the princess's residence if she was brought into the palace to be raised, or she should be taken care of by a concubine, how could she settle in a remote place such as Qingzhuxuan, and she saw Ziyi's clothes thin yesterday, and no one reported it when she ran out, which shows how perfunctory the people around her are.

"The reason for this is a long story, alas, the county lord is also pitiful." Xiaoliu shook his head and sighed, as if there were a lot of unspeakable secrets.

Xiao Mo involuntarily slowed down, Ziyi is the county lord, and the situation is still like this, what about the pleasure in the Qi Palace? The days in the cold palace are already dark, coupled with her grievances with Su Shengxue, will Su Shengxue let go of Concubine Xiao and enjoy herself?

"Lord Xiao?" Seeing that Xiao Mo was distracted, Xiao Liu called out and said, "Lord Xiao, don't worry, although the queen mother's will is there, the county lord can only stay in Qingzhuxuan for the time being, but the county lord is the county lord, and someone will take care of her." ”

"The will of the Queen Mother?" Xiao Mo frowned.

"It's good that Lord Xiao knows, Your Majesty can't be the master of this matter, and the other minions don't dare to say more."

Ziyi has had no father or mother since she was born, and the Queen Mother doesn't take care of it much, why should she let Ziyi live in Qingzhuxuan.

Xiao Mo suddenly remembered what Ling Tianxu said yesterday, Ziyi's father, King Ping, died of an emergency, and the emergency he did was just a statement that he died suddenly, could it be related to King Ping?

"Sixth father-in-law, is King Ping the son of the Queen Mother?" Xiao Mo asked.

Xiao Liu cautiously looked around and confirmed that there was no one before he said: "King Ping and the first emperor were originally uncles and nephews, but the first emperor had no children at first, so King Ping passed on to the first emperor from birth. ”

The succeeding prince became the eldest son, and the queen mother who later gave birth to the prince was naturally unhappy, so it is understandable that the queen mother treated Ziyi badly, as for whether King Ping died of an emergency, it has nothing to do with Xiao Mo, there is no need to investigate deeply.

When I walked to a corner of Miyagi, there was a bamboo forest outside after passing through a door, and I walked deeper along the path between the bamboo trees, and I could vaguely see the houses in the forest.

"That's it ahead." Xiaoliu said.

Xiao Mo looked at the house in front of him, this place was not much better than the Jingsi Palace in Qi Kingdom.

"Uncle."

Xiao Mo heard the shouting, and in a blink of an eye, Ziyi was standing in front of the door, smiling innocently.

Xiao Mo's eyes fell on the woman holding Ziyi again, with a plain cyan dress, a plain cyan cloak, and only a hosta hairpin on the back of her head, not so much plain and pure, but simple, such a rough dress even looked a lot haggard with her flower and moon appearance.

Ziyi was very happy, let go of the woman's hand and ran to Xiao Mo: "Uncle, why are you here, did the imperial uncle ask you to come?" ”

Xiao Mo squatted down and looked at Ziyi, smiled and said, "Uncle will often come to see Lord Ziyi in the future." ”

It may be difficult to change Ziyi's situation, Xiao Mo only feels that he has fallen in love with Ziyi, and what he can do for her is to accompany her often.

The woman also followed, and said gently: "Yesterday, the sixth father-in-law sent Ziyi back late at night, and the concubine didn't have time to thank the sixth father-in-law." ”

"Youren Xi is polite." Xiaoliu ha's waist said.

"This is Xiao Guard, Ziyi has been chattering for a night, no one has ever wanted to play with Ziyi before, Xiao Escort played with her for a while yesterday, Ziyi just kept talking."

Xi Guiren said with a smile, but the helplessness hidden by the smile, Xiao Mo could see it clearly, and a trace of coolness rose in his heart.

Xiao Mo got up and arched his hand: "Noble Xi." ”

The person who takes care of Ziyi here is actually a nobleman, looking at her like this, you know that the life here is hard, if Ziyi is raised here because of the festival between the Queen Mother and King Ping, then why did this Xi nobleman come here together?

"If it weren't for the two of you, Ziyi is so naughty, I don't know what trouble I will cause after sneaking out for a long time, and my concubine has nothing to entertain here, but there are some tea leaves that I have grown, I want to invite Xiao Huwei and the sixth father-in-law to drink a cup of coarse tea and express their gratitude."

Xiaoliu rejoiced: "The minions also have a share?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you nobles." ”

"Auntie, why don't you go make tea soon."

"Yes." The female officer answered, and led another palace maid into the house.

Noble Xi beckoned Xiao Liu and Xiao Mo to sit down at the low table next to the house.

Drinking tea in the bamboo forest in the cold, this seemingly inappropriate arrangement was a last resort, Xiao Mo sympathized with Yu Xi's situation, and had to admit her caution.

Xiao Mo's identity is a guard, even if it is a blue sky and white day, Xi Guiren can't be in the same room with him, not only can't he enter the house to entertain, even if he is outside the house, it is not appropriate, so even Xiao Liu invited him together, intending to avoid suspicion.

It stands to reason that it is not easy for a cautious person to make mistakes in the palace, if it weren't for punishment, Xiao Mo would have been more and more unable to guess why this Xi noble person would live here with Ziyi, and he was looking for an opportunity to ask.

Xi nobles planted a lot of tea trees around the house, the people in the palace are quite fond of raising flowers and grasses, and the first time I saw this kind of tea, it was also strange.

There are only two people serving here, a female official with a slightly older grade, and a third-class palace maid, and the two of them are busy before making a pot of tea and presenting it, and even making tea is so time-consuming, you don't have to think about it to know that it is because of the lack of this and that.

The bamboo forest in winter, looking green and quiet, is actually a cold north wind and a cold feeling.

Last time in Jinshan, I had already seen a lot of snow, but Handu was slow to snow.

The smoke is filled, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, and after drinking a sip of hot tea, it reduces the winter mood by half.

"The tea of the Xi nobles is really good tea, no worse than the tea in the imperial tea room, that is...... It's just a little bitter. Xiao Liu praised again and again.

Xiao Mo had already taken a sip, but he was still holding the teacup and his demeanor hesitated.

"What kind of tea is this?" Xiao Mo asked.

Xi Guiren replied: "The name of this tea is Yuji, and its entrance is moist and not depressed, just like the feeling of rain passing through the sky." ”

"It's raining."

Xiao Mo muttered to himself, suddenly looked at Xi Guiren and asked, "Are you from Qi Kingdom?" ”

"Could it be...... Xiao Escort too? Xi Guiren looked surprised.

"Yuji is produced in Qi Kingdom, moist and slightly bitter, very few people like it, I never thought that I could still drink it in Yan Country now." Xiao Mo smiled slightly.

"These teas are still picked in the spring, here is me and Ziyi, no matter how you drink it, you can't finish it, now it's okay, if Xiao Guard likes it, he will bring some back."

After a long drought and nectar, he met his old acquaintance in another country, and he was able to meet a person from Qi in the deep palace and high walls of this Yan country, and Xiao Mo felt a little more comfort in his heart.

Looking at Ziyi who was running and playing around, while tasting tea, Xi Guiren also talked a lot about the past.

Not only is the Xi nobleman a native of the Qi Kingdom, but even Ziyi's biological mother, Princess Ping, as for why she is here, Xiao Mo tried to knock on the side, but the Xi nobles and Xiaoliu were secretive about it and never mentioned it.

When they met for the first time, their acquaintance was still shallow, so Xiao Mo was not in a hurry to ask, and after sitting with Xiao Liu for a while, he took his leave.

"Since Guiren Xi is from the Qi Kingdom, why did he become the concubine of the Yan Kingdom?" Xiao Mo was puzzled, judging from the relationship between Qi and Yan, this was unlikely, just like Emperor Taihong's side did not have any concubines who were from the Yan Kingdom.

Xiao Liu cautiously looked back and forth again, and whispered to Xiao Mo with his mouth half-covered: "Noble Xi was sent into the palace by King Jing. ”

"King Jing sent it to the palace?" Xiao Mo was shocked, it is not surprising that the minister and his relatives sent a woman into the palace to serve the monarch on the surface, but if the noble person Xi was really King Jing's person, with King Jing's current power, she should not fall to such a point, and why did King Jing send a person from the Qi Kingdom into the palace?
