Chapter 309: Out of the Palace
"Madam, the fourth lady is back!"
"Jiao Niang? Is the lady back? Mrs. Jiang couldn't believe it and looked at Luo Yan. After dinner, she gossiped in Luo Yan's house, and always deliberately avoided talking about Rong Jianniang, but she didn't expect Rong Jianniang to come!
"Where's it? Hurry up and greet it. Luo Yan got up and walked outside the house, and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly followed to help her.
"Mother! Sister-in-law! Rong Jianniang stood outside the door, and the afterglow of the setting sun gilded her with a layer of gold. Dressed in a palace dress and belt, he looked light, looking at Mrs. Jiang and Luo Yan, his eyes were full of tears.
"It's really a girl!" Mrs. Jiang hugged Rong Jiaoniang in her arms. Mrs. Jiang has always secretly complained that Zhao Bocong could not fulfill her promise and let Rong Jianniang out of the palace, and it was really a surprise to suddenly see Rong Jianniang at this moment.
"It's a great joy for my sister to come back, don't cry...... Let's go inside and talk. Luo Yan asked Jin Yuan to invite Rong Yongxi over, and Mrs. Jiang hugged Rong Jianniang into the house.
"Hungry or not? I'll go get something to eat......" Mrs. Jiang was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
"I'm not hungry."
"How can you not be hungry, you must not have eaten after such a long journey. You came back alone......" Mrs. Jiang's words were overwhelming, and she couldn't help but say that she went to the kitchen to get food, and she wanted to cook for Rong Jiaoniang to eat.
"Mother-in-law's heart, sister, don't refuse." Luo Yan pulled Rong Jiaoniang's sleeve. Rong Jianniang looked at the back of Mrs. Jiang who walked out quickly and smiled. Fu turned around again, and his eyes were covered with tears.
"Don't cry, it's a joy to be out of the palace! My sister's palace costume ...... "Luo Yan recognized that the palace dress on Rong Jianniang's body was the official dress of the education and music center, could it be that Rong Jianniang pretended to be a person from the education and music center to return to Yangzhou."
"I have left the palace, and now I am on duty at the music center......"
"Why don't you move back to Yangzhou when you leave the palace? Does my sister have any concerns? Luo Yan couldn't believe that Rong Jianniang was still willing to stay in the capital and not reunite with her family.
Rong Jianniang sighed, "It's not that I don't want to come back, but coming back will only increase my father's burden." This, I believe my sister-in-law can understand my mind best. ”
Luo Yan's heart tightened, yes, Rong Jiaoniang can't have children, and if she marries in the future, she will inevitably be condescended to be small and disliked by her in-laws...... It is also a good place to study her favorite songs and dances at the music center......
Seeing Luo Yan's thoughtful look, Rong Jiaoniang sighed again, "Brother, there is no news yet!" But sister-in-law should be relieved, His Royal Highness Eleventh also went to Northern Xinjiang to find his brother a few days ago, I believe I will be able to find ......"
Rong Jiaoniang looked at Luo Yan's slightly bulging abdomen, knowing that her words to comfort Luo Yan were a little hollow. It is said that Rong Xi has been missing for three months, and the snow in northern Xinjiang should melt, and Rong Xi's hope of survival is getting slimmer and slimmer.
Luo Yan smiled at this time, "I'm relieved, Rong Xi will definitely come back, these **** can always dream of him." ”
Rong Jianniang was in the fog, seeing that Luo Yan was not joking, the determined look on Luo Yan's face made Rong Jianniang also firm in her hope that Rong Yan would come back alive.
Luo Yan asked how Rong Jianniang left the palace and how she got to the music center...... Rong Jiaoniang said slowly, it was really a little thrilling......
Rong Jiaoniang didn't expect the queen to let these show girls go for a physical examination again! endured the humiliation of being at the mercy of others again, Rong Jiaoniang escaped out of the virginity inspection room......
Early in the morning of the second day, Aunt Chunxi asked the show girls of Chongkang Hall to line up and entered the Renming Hall in a row.
"These are all from the Bo Cong Palace?"
The show girls were a little flustered, and they didn't know whether this inspection of virginity was a blessing or a curse.
“…… These are the show girls of Chongkang Palace, and the show girls of Wanhua Hall have been sent back. Chunxi put a roster on the table in front of the phoenix couch.
Empress Wu glanced at it, "Raise your heads!" Empress Wu's voice was full of love, and she already knew the result of the virginity test last night.
How dare the show girls raise their heads, staring nervously at their toes one by one, silent as cicadas, and some of them can't help but tremble, tears rolling in their eyes. They all know what the virginity room does, and the emperor gave them to Chongkang Palace, but they have been as good as ever for more than a month. If the emperor blames them for not knowing how to wait, won't they cause the family to suffer......
"The queen told you to raise your heads, what are you doing in a daze? Is it to disobey the will of the mother? ”
The show girls were so frightened that their faces turned green, what a crime it was to disobey Yi's order! "Slaves don't dare!"
"Don't scare them!" Empress Wu smiled.
Rong Jiaoniang timidly looked at Queen Wu sitting on the phoenix couch, only to find that there was a handsome man in his forties sitting next to her, and he knew that the yellow robe and beaded crown was the emperor without asking!
Rong Jiaoniang dared to look at it again, and looked away at the gold-painted and engraved cabinet on the side of the phoenix couch.
"Who said that the show girls in the Bocong Palace are bad-looking, the emperor can see it clearly!"
The hall was silent, and Rong Jiaoniang could almost hear her pounding heartbeat.
Hearing the queen say that she should go down, Rong Jianniang quickly turned around and followed everyone out of the hall. After only a few steps, I heard "let her stay" from behind me, the emperor's voice was so majestic that there was no doubt.
Aunt Chunxi stretched out her hand to stop in front of Rong Jianniang, signaling that the others could go. Rong Jiaoniang's back immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and she mechanically followed Aunt Chunxi to the phoenix couch, this time she was closer to the queen and the emperor, and Rong Jiaoniang could see that the queen's crested shoes were embroidered with several colors of brocade thread......
"What's your name?"
"Slave, Yangzhou Rong Jiaoniang." Rong Jiaoniang did not forget the etiquette of daily training, and stood in front of the hall respectfully. The appearance of Tingting is more beautiful.
"Well, look up, I'll forgive you!" The emperor was amazed by the sound of Rong Jiaoniang's new oriole coming out of the valley.
Empress Wu coughed, and Rong Jiaoniang didn't know whether to lift her head for a while. Aunt Chunxi also looked at Empress Wu hesitantly, and then peeked at Emperor Gaozong, the emperor's surprised expression was obviously for Rong Jiaoniang's beauty. Aunt Chunxi didn't make a sound this time, and Ren Rong Jiaoniang lowered her head to show a touch of embarrassment.
"Your Majesty!" Empress Wu couldn't help but speak, "Do you still plan to take back the show girl that the emperor gave to Bo Jiu and Bo Cong?" ”
Gojong groaned noncommittal. Empress Wu said, "Bo Jiu said that the show girl given by the emperor to Chongkang Hall is not as good as Wanhua Palace, what does the emperor think?" ”
"It's all bastard! Could it be that I will be partial to one another! Gojong was clearly angry. The show girls sent to Zhao Bojiu's palace were all fortunate by him, and some of them were still fighting for favor in the open and dark. That's it, Zhao Bojiu didn't believe that Zhao Bocong didn't like beauty, and all the show girls sent by the emperor were still virgins. Zhao Bojiu can only think that Zhao Bocong's vision is too high, and he can't look down on the appearance of these show girls......
"It's better for Xuan Bojiu to come over, let him see is believing, and he can also be convinced." Empress Wu subtly shifted the subject. Let Rong Jiaoniang stand on the side of the hall.
After a while, Zhao Bojiu rushed into the Mingren Palace, saw Empress Wu and Gaozong, and his eyes were like magnets, sticking to Rong Jiaoniang's body and reluctant to leave. I was a little carried away for a while, and I asked Rong Jiaoniang who she was......
"She is the show girl given to Chongkang Hall by your father."
Zhao Bojiu's body was shocked, and he looked at Rong Jiaoniang carefully, of course, his virgin demeanor and expression could not escape Zhao Bojiu's accustomed and beautiful eyes.
Gaozong was so angry by Zhao Bojiu's obsessive appearance that he raised his beard, and Empress Wu saw the opportunity to send Zhao Bojiu away, and Zhao Bojiu reluctantly walked past Rong Jiaoniang's side, snorted vigorously, and walked out of the Mingren Hall in a little abrupt. But he said in his heart, it turns out that it seems that the emperor left the best show girl in front of the palace, and what kind of exclusive favor to the queen is just that he hasn't met anyone who wants to be favored. No wonder Zhao Bocong didn't dare to attack this woman......
