She was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head to ask for sin: "The emperor forgives the sin, slave and maid...... The slave maid went back to work today for the first time, and forgot the rules for a while. ”

This deferential attitude is quite standard, but it is a little different from ordinary people in the details - she looks more like a little girl who has been knocked out of her heart, shy and timid, than like a servant girl who has made a mistake and is afraid of being punished by her master, why is this?

Feeling more and more strange about this girl, the emperor asked: "Today's matter was deliberately arranged by Zhuo Jin, did you know beforehand?" ”

She hung her head in a regular manner, and her face was slightly depressed: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid was also kept in the dark beforehand, and it wasn't until I understood it." ”

Sure enough, she was also a victim, and the emperor asked, "Then do you understand now why she arranged it like this?" ”

Qiwen glanced at him again, her cheeks flushed, and said, "Slave maid...... Know. ”

The emperor was a little skeptical: "You know? ”

She cramped up, clasped her hands tightly on the edge of her sleeves, her knuckles were clenched white, and said: "The slave is guilty, when she was in the palace garden, she wanted to thank the emperor and the princess for their great kindness, but she accidentally heard a conversation between the emperor and the princess and the princess, and it was a ......."

It was because she knew that the eldest princess was bent on protecting her and her second brother, and after thinking about it, she understood that today's arrangement was still from this intention - she was not a stupid person.

This time she was really blushing, really like a shy little girl, not his delusion. The emperor thought about it, since the topic was related to marriage, her reaction was reasonable.

"Zhuojin is so thinking about the character of a play, and I will ask the queen to help me think about it, how to settle you, or send you out of the palace as much as possible, don't worry about anything to repay the favor. If you have no relatives to run to, it is not difficult to let Qiu Yu find a husband for you in Jinyiwei. According to his temperament, this is already quite a lot of words.

He thought that it was a very proper placement, but as soon as he said it, she seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly pleaded: "The slave maid did enter the palace voluntarily, and I beg the emperor not to drive me out." ”

This was annoyed, she forgot the rules again, looked up at him, her big watery eyes and an earnest look, and the emperor's heart shrank, and she subconsciously felt that she had hurt her and couldn't stand her. He frowned and asked, "Did you understand what I said?" ”

Qiwen nodded.

"You understand, you know that Zhuojin pulled you into the palace in order to ...... you Push it to me, and you still insist on staying? He finally couldn't help but point out the meaning thoroughly, and what he said was very awkward.

Qiwen nodded again, this time she didn't dare to look at him, her head was about to fall to the ground, and the roots of her ears were red, and she said in a low voice: "It was the eldest princess who saved the life of the slave maid, and it was the emperor, if the eldest princess really had this intention, the slave and maid would also ...... is willing to obey his will in order to repay the emperor. ”

"......", is her so-called "repayment" a promise by herself? Somehow, the emperor was a little flustered and at a loss when he thought that the girl in front of him might be holding the idea of marrying him.

That's a surprise. In the past, he faced Concubine Ning's overtures to the royal concubines, knowing that those women were recommending their own pillows, and he had never experienced such a cramped embarrassment. Could it be that she was infected by her blushing and shyness?

His face was always cold and hard, and his embarrassment would not be shown on his face, but this silence led her to understand. She looked panicked, and hurriedly emphasized: "The slave maid means that she is willing to repay the emperor for the palace maid for the rest of her life, but it is by no means ...... It's not that, you know, the slave maid chose to enter the palace as a maid that day, and she never dared to think about anything else. ”

It turned out that it wasn't. Hearing this, the emperor seemed to feel a little relieved in his heart, and at the same time seemed to be a little ...... Lose? It was really weird, and the emperor said, "I don't need you to repay the favor." You'd better go out of the palace. ”

She frowned pitifully, almost pleading: "The slave maid would rather stay in front of the emperor and be a sprinkler and sweeper, just ask the emperor to fulfill the slave maid's heart." ”

The emperor frowned: "You are a daughter of a prince's mansion, and you would rather be a coolie in the palace than go out?" I don't lack a coolie for you, what are you trying to do? ”

Qiwen blushed, twisted the belt in her hand, and couldn't answer.

The emperor was the most impatient to deal with this kind of twisting and pinching, and he was in a hurry to go back after finishing his work, so he simply hardened and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly!" ”

She was startled, hesitated for a moment, knelt down and said, "The slave is absolutely not malicious!" ”

...... "Who said she had bad intentions?" Only then did he realize that he had unconsciously taken out a tone of reprimanding his subordinates, turning the questioning into a forced confession. It seems that it is not my own.

He had hardly spoken to a girl so seriously since he had been fifteen years old. He didn't pay much attention to the maids and concubines around him, as for the queen, they were acquaintances who had known each other since childhood, and they didn't have a sense of gender when they got along. At this time, facing Qiwen, he had a kind of helplessness to meet an opponent, and he didn't know how to consider his tone.

Seeing that the girl in front of him was frowning, and there were tears in her eyes, the emperor was a little at a loss, and adjusted his tone stiffly: "I don't blame you, you get up first." ”

Qiwen stood up, but she was still very sad, and finally seemed to be heartbroken, and said generously: "The slave is just the daughter of a criminal official, and she has no qualifications to serve the emperor. ”

These words are respectful on the surface, but in fact they are very resentful.

The emperor was helpless to get home, when did he say that he asked her to come because he didn't like her? This is obviously for her sake, for her sake, okay?

Why is the girl's mind so strange? He put down the state affairs to pick her up, he wanted to settle her well, but he didn't settle down, and when he asked her the reason, she didn't say, and he had to put on a look like you love to be angry with him anyway, how wronged was he?

Counting up, he killed the robber, punished the brothers and sisters-in-law of the Zhao family, and let her choose her own way out, just like today, he was all interested in her good, and there was no second person in the world who could meet for the first time and he had to take care of it so much, but the result was: killing the robber scared her out of her soul, punished her brother and sister-in-law and made her homeless, chose a way out and let her be abducted into the palace by Zhuojin, and wanted to arrange for her to marry someone out of the palace today, and it was like a ...... Well, she was about to cry, which made her even more sad.

It's like he owed her a debt in his last life and can't pay it off.

The emperor had nothing to do and was at a loss, so he simply waved his hand and said: "That's it, no matter what your plan is, since you want to stay so much, just stay first." You go back to Yuhuazhai by yourself, wait to see Zhuojin, tell her to let her get married with peace of mind, and think less about idle things. ”

She replied yes, retreated and left, and didn't forget to peek at him again before leaving, the look was aggrieved, as if she had made a lot of money by looking at it with less glances and more glances.

This girl is really strange to come home, after a year of training with those old foxes in the court, he is confident that he has also practiced the ability to see through people's hearts, but now he can't see through what this little girl is thinking.

With a head full of fog, when she walked away, he asked Qian Yuanhe: "You say, what is her plan?" ”

Qian Yuanhe bowed: "The slave doesn't have the courage to eavesdrop on the master." ”

The emperor glanced at him: "Don't come and sell well." ”

"Yes......" Qian Yuanhe hurriedly confessed, but his eyebrows were tighter than his, "Lord forgive the sin, the slave is stupid, and I can't guess what this girl is thinking." ”

The emperor thought about it, how could a eunuch who was less than twenty years old and had been clean since childhood, guess the thoughts of the little girl's family? That's why he called the sick and went to the doctor.

Qian Yuanhe hurriedly mentioned yì: "Master, let's go back and ask my master, he is an old man who is well-informed, and he must be able to understand what this little girl thinks." ”

The emperor snorted lightly, it was not ridiculous for him to leave the state affairs and come to receive a guilty palace maid in person? I also want to take her affairs to the eunuch of the celebrant to ask for advice, he is idle at home?

He didn't say anything more, and strode forward.

Qiwen walked in the middle of the road, and she was so frustrated that she beat her chest. Although the eldest princess didn't even say hello, she arranged for her to meet the emperor this time because it was a little sudden, but after all, this was a great opportunity to convey affection to him and attract his attention, how could she not grasp it well, and her expression was so bad?

I want to go to the set to audition back then, even if the opposite side is a pig's head, I can put it away freely, I can say that I can have affection, and I can be enthusiastic when I say that I am enthusiastic.

Alas, don't say anything, Zhao Qiwen, you are a big idiot, you deserve to be deleted by the role he left behind!

She couldn't figure it out, wasn't his favorability of her two points higher? She now clearly knows that she likes him, why is he not enlightened at all?

This person is even more wooden than Guo Jing!

The emperor wanted to leave her behind, but unfortunately some thoughts took root in his heart, and he couldn't ignore them if he wanted to. God created male and female□□ and there is a reason for him, and the things between men and women are so ambiguous and subtle, elusive, and unspeakable.

When he went back to Longxi Pavilion to continue his criticism, that question would pop up in his heart from time to time, interrupting his thoughts, like a bee flying around his head. After playing it a few times, it became more and more courageous, which made him so upset that he couldn't even read the words on the cantata.

It was getting dark outside, and the lights were on inside. Wang Zhi saw that he was irritable, and hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Master, dinner is ready, why don't you rest and take a few bites?" ”

Maybe eating a few bites of something can alleviate it, he agreed, Wang Zhi and Qian Yuanhe were overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned to prepare the meal. I didn't think he had the heart to eat big fish and meat, they were all delicate and refreshing snacks, steamed dumplings stuffed with mushrooms and shrimps, ham and chicken soup with slick oil, and cold salad with garlic sauce. The emperor used some of everything, and he didn't bother to taste anything.

There are two people waiting in front of him, Wang Zhi and Qian Yuanhe, although the master and apprentice are slaves, they have followed him for many years, and they can be regarded as his closest people, and there is no need to shy away from talking to them, and they are more casual than talking to confidant ministers or queens.

The emperor hesitated again and again before he spoke: "Wang Zhi, there is something I want to talk to you about, it's an idle matter. ”

Wang Zhi lifted his spirit: "Master, please speak, the slave and maid listen to me." ”

"On the way back from the Zhongyuan ancestor worship that day, I took care of a nossip with Zhuojin...... "He rarely chatted with people, and this was the first time he talked about it with someone in more than half a month. At the same time, the narration also reminisces about the situation of the day, and there is a strange taste of nostalgia.

After telling the past, he elaborated on the beginning and end of today, and finally said: "Wang Zhi, come and refer to it for me, what does she think?" ”

Wang Zhi is fifty-three this year, although he also entered the palace in his teens, after all, he has eaten a lot of salty salt, and his experience in life is not comparable to Qian Yuanhe, and he is more experienced than the emperor. After listening, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and asked, "Dare to ask the master, did that girl look red-faced and shy when you answered?" ”

"Exactly." The emperor's eyes flashed, "You can guess, you can see that you understand?" ”

Wang Zhi held the dust whisk in his hand, and smiled confidently: "The master is a fan of the authorities, in fact, this matter is obvious, that girl is moved by you and loves you." ”
