The eldest princess ordered someone to pass the word, and it took half a cup of tea. Rong Yun really came.

Rong Zheng saw that she had changed into a fairly bright dress, and the jewelry on her head was also of the highest quality. Rong Yun came to the queen mother's seat, very worried. Some panicked and saluted the queen mother, and invited the queen to be safe. Met the princess.

The queen had put a small waiter in her eyes, and she had never looked at her once.

The eldest princess Ning Yu thought that their sisters must have something to say when they met, and they must be very restrained here, so she and Rong Zheng Jianyi: "There is a small pavilion over there, you sisters go over there to talk." Just let the two palace maids follow. ”

The princess's words were right in the heart, Rong Zheng readily agreed, and took Rong Zheng to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and left the table.

Rong Yun held Rong Zheng's hand tightly, and she was getting farther and farther away from the banquet place, so she breathed a sigh of relief, until in the pavilion, the sisters sat down in the pavilion with hand towels.

The two palace maids must have something to say in private, and they dare not serve closely. Shiso was also waiting outside.

Rong Yun stared at Rong Zheng, nodded and said, "You are also very powerful, you can be your companion at the Queen Mother's table." Even Princess Ningyu, who has always been noble, gives you face. ”

Rong Zheng didn't take it seriously, and said: "It's just for the sake of the face of the palace, I just got a little light." The Queen Mother asked me to talk to the princess. It just so happens that now the county lord of our family, that is, my eldest sister-in-law and the eldest princess have some friendship, so let's talk a few words. The second time I entered the palace, I was also not nervous, and I didn't know anyone else except you. ”

Rong Yun felt that this was Rong Zheng's own blessing, compared to her not being free in everything now, and even her family rarely saw her after many years.

Rong Zheng looked at his cousin, who was in the prime of his life, but he had no life. Compared to when he was at home, he lost a few points of dexterity. The layers of palace gates in the heart are really able to bury people's youth and liveliness.

Rong Yun regretted it a little, and whispered to Rong Zheng: "When you wrote to me, I knew that you wanted to help me, but I didn't dare to respond to you because I was afraid. Now that I think about it, I regret it a little. ”

Rong Zheng said: "It's too late to regret it now, you should have been decisive at the beginning." ”

"You could really have thought of a way to help me not participate in the draft?" Rong Yun was a little surprised.

Rong Zheng recalled that Mu Ying had a liking for her eldest sister, if she could find Mu Ying and ask him to walk. Maybe the eldest sister really doesn't have to enter the palace. But the times have passed. The eldest sister and Mu Ying are no longer possible in this life, what is the point of her mentioning this now, so she smiled and said: "Find a relationship." If you trust someone, maybe it can really be done. ”

"You're right. It's not that easy. Maybe this is my life, as the daughter of the Rong family. ”

Rong Zheng didn't like to accept fate, she encouraged her cousin: "Big sister." It is in heaven to succeed, and it is up to people to make things happen. There are a lot of people who don't make an effort themselves. I am not qualified to give up. You've always been too submissive. ”

Be a deviant? Judging from the education Rong Yun has received since childhood, she can't do it.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, it's always a little sad to say these words. Rong Zheng wanted to change the atmosphere, and said: "The ninth day of the first month is the birthday of the Queen Mother. Did my sister prepare any gifts? ”

Rong Yun said: "This dad said he would help me prepare. But if you think about it, I am such an insignificant person now, how many people in this palace are of the same grade as me, and where will the Queen Mother remember me. It's just a scene. That's pretty good. ”

"Second sister, how is she now? I haven't been in Beijing for a few days, and I haven't been able to go to my uncle's house yet. ”

Rong Yun said: "She is now married. Embroider a dowry at home. It's just that I haven't chosen the right day yet, and I heard my mother say that the other party is still in office, and I have to wait for them to return to Beijing before we can continue the discussion. ”

"What kind of person is it?"

Rong Yun said: "I heard that he is also the son of an official eunuch, and his ancestral home is also Bianliang, probably his father's colleague." She didn't know more details.

The sisters chatted happily, and Rong Yun's closed heart was also opening up little by little, finally revealing the liveliness she should have at this age.

Unconsciously, the two had been talking for most of the hour, Rong Yun got up and said, "Third sister, let's go back." You were supposed to be by the princess's side, and it's not good to be away from the table for too long. ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "Okay, maybe I can still enter the palace on the ninth day of the first month, and we will talk for a while when the time comes." ”

The sisters left hand in hand, and Rong Yun did not follow Rong Zheng to the queen mother's seat. Rong Zheng was accompanied by Shiso and a palace maid to this side.

When he was about to approach, Rong Zheng habitually touched his waist, and found that the handkerchief on his waist was missing. She said to Shisu, "You go to the pavilion just now and help me find a handkerchief, I'll wait for you here." ”

Shisu was a little scared, so she had to beg the palace maid who had just followed her to go with her.

After drinking a few glasses of wine at the banquet just now, and talking to her sisters for a long time, Rong Zheng felt a little dizzy, it was quite quiet here, and she wanted to calm herself down immediately by blowing a little night breeze.

Rong Zheng looked at the hustle and bustle not far away, and looked at the people who were the most noble in the dynasty. She was able to participate in this banquet, which was something that she would never have dared to think of in her previous life.

It didn't take long for Rong Zheng to suddenly hear someone calling her behind her: "Sister-in-law, why are you standing here blowing the cold wind?" ”

Rong Zheng looked around in some surprise, but saw a figure flashing under the tree, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Mu Jing, the son of the world. She was slightly surprised, and blessed her body and said, "Lord Shizi, you suddenly spoke behind you, which really scared me. ”

Mu Jing said: "It's convenient for me to come out, I never thought I met my sister-in-law here." Why don't you go to the front? ”

Rong Zheng said: "I lost something, I asked the maid to help me find it." ”

"Oh, I don't know what it matters? Why don't I have someone find it for you? ”

Rong Zheng said in his heart that he was just Zhang Pazi, where was it worth working so hard, so he rejected Mu Jing's kindness.

Seeing that Rong Zheng was unwilling, Mu Jing had no choice but to give up. He also wanted to say a few more words to Rong Zheng, but he was afraid of provoking people's attention, so he had to say: "That sister-in-law hurry up and go forward, beware of catching a cold." ”

Rong Zheng nodded. Mu Jing had no choice but to take someone away.

After a while, Shiso finally returned. She shook her head at Rong Zheng and said, "Grandma, I've looked for it carefully." I didn't see my grandmother's veil. ”

"This is strange, I obviously remember where I would run after I put down the stone bench just now." Rong Zheng had some doubts in his heart.

Zi Su said: "Maybe the wind blew the veil away." Maybe in some bush, in some corner. It's just that it's late and it's not easy to find. ”

Rong Zheng thought, it's just that if you lose your handkerchief, you will lose it. She returned to the table here, and the eldest princess Ning Yu still accompanied the queen mother to watch the play. See her come back. He nodded to her slightly.

Rong Zheng sat down, and the play had already sung to the third time. The food in front of him was also cold, and Rong Zheng didn't eat anything.

After all, the Queen Mother is an old person. If you stay for a long time, your energy will be a little exhausted. Before the play was finished, he went back to Shoukang Palace, and Rong Zheng had to go back to this side of Yuwangfu.

Mu Xuan saw that Rong Zheng didn't eat a lot and said, "Here I left you a plate of pine pulp, do you want to eat a little, and warm apricot cheese." ”

Rong Zheng said happily: "It's hard for you to be so careful." "I filled my stomach. Not to coo.

When it was time to set off fireworks, fireworks began.

For a while, the artillery rang out in succession. In the dim night sky, brilliant fireworks bloom. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple decorate the quiet night sky with extraordinarily gorgeous colors.

The princess held Brother Ren tightly in her arms and covered her ears for her.

Everyone looked up, and Rong Zheng noticed that someone was gently holding her hand. When she looked back, she saw Mu Xuan standing behind her, nodding and smiling at her.

The fireworks pushed the show to the top of the night for the whole night.

However, when the fireworks were near the end, something suddenly happened. A spark fell and lit up the dead leaves on the ground. The fire followed the dead leaves and set a tree on fire. When they find out. The fire was so fierce that it turned the dead trees into torches.

Everyone was shocked, and the emperor was dumbfounded, and Xindao had also set off fireworks before, when did such a thing happen. Before he could give the order, there were palace people and guards to put out the fire.

At the moment, the few young princes and little princesses were scared.

Brother Ren didn't know what was going on, but he looked at the reddened tree burned by the flames and clapped his hands and laughed. The princess's face turned white with fright, and she hurriedly covered Brother Ren'er's mouth and scared her in a low voice. Brother Ren also cried.

The imperial guards and the chief eunuch all rushed in unison to persuade the emperor to return to the palace.

The emperor was not at ease, more than a dozen buckets of water were splashed down, and the fire was finally controlled, but fortunately it was quite wide here, although there was a forest not far away, it was a plum forest, and the plum blossoms had already budded this season. Everyone saw that the emperor did not move, and they did not dare to move.

After the fire was controlled, the emperor had the strength to get angry, and scolded loudly: "Get me all the eunuchs and guards in charge today!" ”

Soon, a dozen eunuchs and seven or eight guards came over in turn, and before the emperor could speak, they knelt down, and did not dare to ask for forgiveness.

The emperor said: "Fortunately, the fire was brought under control in time, and if it is going to cause a big disaster, I can't fill it even if I kill a few of you." Each person went to the Criminal Division to receive 20 boards and deducted three months' salary. ”

Everyone received their rewards, and they couldn't say a word that they didn't want to.

A royal night banquet that was originally happy and joyful suddenly made the emperor feel bored, and he moved away in a huff. At that moment, everyone else was ready to leave the palace and go home.

Rong Zheng sat back in her small sedan chair, and she was busy for most of the day, but there was not much in her stomach, and she was a little sleepy. It will take a while for the heart to get home, so it's better to squint for a while.

When everyone got home, it was already the second watch.

King Yu and the princess had to enter the palace early in the morning to congratulate, but they did not delay the reward of the New Year's money. Fortunately, there are not many children in front of her, just Brother Ren, and the princess rewarded her with a purse of golden beans, and she had to let them go back to their rooms to rest. King Yu frowned and said, "There is a new daughter-in-law entering the door this year, why did you forget this." ”

The princess glanced at Rong Zheng, frowned slightly, and reluctantly rewarded her with a purse. Rong Zheng received the reward and kowtowed to the prince and the princess.

King Yu nodded and said, "It's too late, you all go back to sleep." ”

Brother Ren'er's eyes couldn't even open.

Everyone withdrew from the flower hall, and Mu Jing took the initiative to say goodbye to Mu Xuan and his wife. He still carried a handkerchief in his arms, which was the one that Rong Zheng had lost. But he wasn't going to return it immediately, he had a ghost in his heart, so he always had to take care of it.

When he returned to the house here, Rong Zheng took out the purse that the princess had rewarded just now and took a look, and it was full of golden beans. Mu Xuan saw it when she came in, and couldn't help but tease: "Now you are rich." ”

Rong Zheng smiled bitterly: "The weight is wrong, it looks hollow." "I'm afraid that such a purse is a reward for the next person, and the next person will dislike two points, and the princess is embarrassed to take it out as a New Year's money to reward the new daughter-in-law.

When Mu Xuan heard this, he stepped forward and hugged Rong Zheng's shoulder and said, "You have been wronged, I will make up for it for you again tomorrow." ”

Naturally, I like to receive gifts, and Rong Zheng hurriedly said: "Okay, it's rare that you have a heart." ”

After the couple finished grooming, they lay down in the quilt, Mu Xuan said to her: "The second day of junior high school is the day to go back to my parents' house, but unfortunately we are in the capital." It's just that if you don't go back for the first year, you can't say it, how about we go to your uncle's house? ”

Even if Mu Xuan didn't discuss it with her, Rong Zheng already had this thought, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I have this plan." You spoke first. ”

"Well, I'm afraid that I'll have to toss for a day when I have to enter the palace tomorrow, and the two of us will be able to be in one place the day after tomorrow. After the Festival of Lights, I'm afraid I'm going to leave. ”

"So fast."

"Hurry up......"

Speaking of separation, it always makes people a little melancholy and reluctant.

Mu Xuan got into Rong Zheng's quilt and ******** in his arms, which made him very reluctant. In the past, he felt that the northwest camp was nothing, and he was not afraid of the bitter cold. But it came out after two or three years. But since getting married, he **** and Rong Zheng are in one place, grinding their ears and temples, and they are even more reluctant to give up in their hearts. Let him, a man who has always been known for his pure heart and few desires, grow up with a love for children.

"Jiao Niang, don't worry. I'll definitely take the time to come back and see you whenever I get the chance. I'm not at home, you and your sister and you help each other out. Speaking of my sister, I haven't told her the truth yet, she knows how to complain about me. I'll write a letter to her, and you'll help me give it to her when the time comes. ”

"It's strange that the county lord doesn't blame you. If you insist on leaving, I can't keep you. It is difficult to go out at home for a thousand days, but I am afraid that I will suffer a lot of grievances. ”

"It's okay, I didn't raise myself in a honey pot since I was a child, and I've had a lot of hard days."

Mu Xuan is not quite the same as those gentlemen, and she is even more different from Liao Xian.

Mu Xuan leaned up to her face, kissed Rong Zheng's round earlobe, and then kissed her cheek. When I wanted to go further, I suddenly heard the rumbling sound of firecrackers outside.

Rong Zheng knew that it would be the fourteenth year of Kaibao soon.

Before Rong Zheng pushed Mu Xuan away, Mu Xuan hugged her tighter, but the kiss that fell on her face was more intense than any time. (To be continued.) )
