Chapter 306 Palace Gate
Luo Yan raised her eyes and looked at the plane tree in front of the door, the branches were glowing with new green, and then she remembered the beginning of spring today. Yesterday during the Lantern Festival, the Rong Mansion sent a small servant early in the morning to spread the word, and the old lady asked them if they would go back for the festival.
Mrs. Jiang didn't have the heart to go to the Rong Mansion, she was afraid that she would cry at the mention of Rong Xi, which would make the old lady suspicious, and she didn't want Luo Yan to be asked this and that in the past...... sent Jin Yuan to bring a basket of rice balls sifted by the sister-in-law and let the little girl take them back.
"What does the third grandmother look at? Hurry up and get in! "Jin Yuan has been inseparable from Luo Yan for a while, and Mrs. Jiang is afraid that Luo Yan will not be able to think about it, so she will accompany Luo Yan to relieve her boredom.
"You see that the branches of this sycamore tree are green, and when the leaves of the sycamore tree are also green, the third master should come back."
Jin Yuanyuan looked at the sycamore tree, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see any greenery, but Luo Yan was dazzled and urged her to hurry in.
"Did you say?" Luo Yan stared at the branches, her eyes shining.
"Yes, yes! When the leaves are green, the third master will come back. At that time, the little young master should also be born......" Jin Yuan said along Luo Yan with a whimper.
Luo Yan then went into the backyard of the dyeing workshop with Jin Yuan. For some reason, she always felt that Rong Xi would definitely come back, and this strong premonition gave her strong energy again.
"Today, I didn't expect the treasure chest to blow up spring rolls! Yan'er eat more, see that you have lost so much weight that your chin has been sharp these days. Mrs. Jiang sandwiched a golden spring roll and put it in Luo Yan's bowl. Rong Xi and Jiao Niang are the happiest to eat spring rolls......" Mrs. Jiang said for no reason, and suddenly tears appeared in her eyes.
It's been six or seven days, and there is no news from Zhao Bocong's side, can Rong Jianniang come back? What happened to Rong Xi? These two things tormented Mrs. Jiang's heart night after night, and she couldn't sleep peacefully. No matter how Rong Yongxi persuaded her, Mrs. Jiang couldn't sleep, and stared at the top of the bed all night long. During the day, he had to pretend to laugh and coax Luo Yan, but he couldn't hold back at this time.
"That mother-in-law must do a good job, I also have to learn, and when Rong Yu comes back, I will make it for him to eat." Luo Yan chewed carefully, her expression was as calm as spring. I picked up another one and put it in Mrs. Jiang's bowl.
Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Luo Yan's expression, she was finally relieved......
Although the beginning of spring is just a solar term. But it is a day when all things are revived and all industries are renewed. The palace also made spring cakes and spring rolls in response to the festival. Rong Jiaoniang looked at the golden spring rolls on the plate, but she held on to the jade chopsticks but did not move.
It has been a month in Zhao Bocong's palace, and he has nothing else to do when he reads books and dances every day, and he learns calligraphy and paints. The other nine show girls who came with them often got together to have fun. Only Rong Jianniang seems to be alone. It's not that she doesn't fit in, but she really has no place and hope for the days ahead, and she can't help but be worried.
"Miss Jiaoniang, our Highness invites you to come over and talk about it." Rong Jiaoniang heard Xiao Shunzi's voice coming from the door, so she put down the jade chopsticks and went out with him.
It's lunchtime. Is there anything important for Zhao Bocong to call her at this time? Rong Jiaoniang couldn't help but beat the drum in her heart. Since the last time Zhao Bocong took her back to Yangzhou Dyeing Workshop to visit her father and mother, and returned to the palace, Rong Jiaoniang has never seen Zhao Bocong again.
Rong Jianniang only said that Zhao Bocong thought she was boring, and she refused to even step into her house. Occasionally, I heard other show girls whispering, saying that Zhao Bocong didn't like women, and it was okay to think that they were mediocre, but there was no shortage of palace maids and beauties in Zhao Bocong's Chongkang Palace, so I didn't hear which beauty Zhao Bocong befriended...... Zhao Bojiu's Wanhua Hall is wet with rain and dew, and everyone is rewarded!
Rong Jiaoniang just didn't hear it, but her heart was difficult to calm for a long time. The Rong family cultivated her and Rong Liniang with their hearts. Now that she is in the palace pavilion, she is just herself. But what about Rong Liniang, is she willing to be subservient to others and serve a husband with others. Thinking of the word one husband and two husbands, Rong Jiaoniang couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly, whether it is the emperor or the prince, how can there be a husband!
"When I arrive, Your Highness will ask the girl to go by herself, and the slave will not be reported." Xiao Shunzi rolled up her sleeves and turned away. Rong Jiaoniang calmed down at the door, and then stepped into Zhao Bocong's Kang Chong Palace.
"Ladies don't need to be formal. Come and sit here. Zhao Bocong's voice was kind and gentle. Rong Jiaoniang only felt a warmth in her heart, this half a month seemed to be forgotten, at this time she was affectionately called by her name, how could Rong Jiaoniang not be like a warm sun.
Rong Jiaoniang sat on the cable chair beside Zhao Bocong. The afterglow in his eyes caught a glimpse of Zhao Bocong's stiff legs, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Rong Jiaoniang raised her eyes and saw that although the white scarf wrapped around Zhao Bocong's forehead was covered with a golden-winged four-cornered square hat, it was still exposed, and she knew that there was a wound on her head at a glance.
"Why is Your Highness injured?" Rong Jiaoniang couldn't hide her surprise.
"Out of the way! I called you here at this time, I don't know if I disturbed your meal? Zhao Bocong didn't want to talk to Rong Jianniang about the injuries on his body. Worrying about her will only make him feel distressed......
"Oh. Used! Today's spring rolls are delicious. Seeing Zhao Bocong's faint expression, Rong Jiaoniang couldn't help but blame herself for being amorous, and hung her head with a red face, waiting for Zhao Bocong to speak.
Zhao Bocong hesitated and didn't know where to start, and the words he had just thought about were on his lips and felt inappropriate. Could it be that she directly told Rong Jianniang that her family wanted her to go back and find someone to marry at that time?
That will obviously hurt Rong Jiaoniang's self-esteem! What woman can endure the humiliation of being dismissed? Although the original intention was good! "Hmmm! That's right," Zhao Bocong searched in his mind for the right word.
"Although you were rewarded by your father to my Chongkang Palace, I have a small place here, and I don't need many people. I want you to leave the palace, you can go back to Yangzhou to reunite with your father and mother, and have nothing to do with the palace. In the future, you can also find someone to marry, and I will find someone to help you move back with your official status......"
Rong Jianniang heard this like five thunderbolts, you must know that once the show girl enters the palace, her official registration will be moved from her hometown to the capital, which is equivalent to marrying a wife. Zhao Bocong asked her to leave the palace, which was obviously to drive her out of the palace and let her go back to Yangzhou, which was equivalent to summoning Yangzhou Prefecture and County, she Rong Jiaoniang was a woman who was expelled from the palace, and which man dared to marry her! What's more, she doesn't want to get married......
Rong Jiaoniang's tears poured out, and her porcelain white and pink face looked like pear blossoms with tears and spring grass dyed with dew.
Zhao Bocong was frightened when he saw Rong Jiaoniang's appearance, and asked directly, "What's wrong?" But his body was inconvenient to get up to appease Rong Jiaoniang, and his face turned red in a hurry.
When the two of them were at a loss as to how to speak next, Xiao Shunzi hurriedly ran in and said that Empress Wu asked Zhao Bocong and Zhao Bojiu to send the show girl rewarded by the emperor to Renming Hall to listen to the reward.
"Why?" Zhao Bocong was strange.
"The minions don't know, it's always a good thing that the queen wants to be rewarded! The minions went to gather the show girls, and it was time for His Highness to take a lunch break. ”
Xiao Shunzi looked at Rong Jianniang, and Zhao Bocong also looked at Rong Jianniang and didn't know what to do for a while, and was planning to send Rong Jianniang out of the palace and kill a Queen Wu halfway! It seems that the show girl rewarded by the emperor is still under the jurisdiction of the queen of the six palaces, but I am afraid that Zhao Bocong will not be able to arrange where Rong Jianniang goes......
