That night, Xiao Duo did not return from Wuzhu's secluded residence.

Feng Luan slept alone all night, and her heart just felt pure, and that little bit of emptiness was ignored by her. Somehow, I felt lazy and didn't want to move, so I ordered: "Wait and say that I am not feeling well, so I won't go over and ask for peace today." ”

Orb answered, "Yes." ”

The tortoiseshell combed her hair, "What kind of bun does the side concubine want to comb?" ”

"Whatever, it's simple." Feng Luan didn't bother to dress up, and when she combed her hair, she pinned a golden hairpin with gold wire, and then wore a peony silk flower obliquely. Then he took the matching red coral earrings and red coral bracelets, got up and said, "That's it, there is no need to toss today." ”

took the book, lay on the beauty couch and flipped through it at will, but still couldn't read it.

Finally, when it was time to eat breakfast, I just drank a mouthful of japonica rice porridge, and the Wuzhu secluded Pujia came over. Entering the door, he was blessed and said: "The prince left early in the morning, there is something, there is no time to resign, let the slave Tianming come over and talk to the princess and the side concubine." ”

In such a hurry? Feng Luan was a little surprised, but didn't say much, "Okay, I know what to do." ”

"The slave went back first." Pu Jia was blessed again, and she retired.

Feng Luan looked at her thin willow-green back, thinking of her face that was no longer young,—— which could make a woman willing to exhaust her youth and swear not to marry, thinking about it, she had some thoughts in her heart.

Hehe, there are too many women around men, and this world is too unfair.

For example, Xiao Duo, there is Pu Jia who will never marry for him, his wife Mu Lingjia, Concubine Jiang who is a family scholar, Mrs. Miao who is pregnant, and Mrs. Wei, who seems to be honest and honest, and Yingying Yanyan has a room.

In his previous life, he died early, if he lived a few more years, maybe how many beauties would be offered to him to enjoy,—— if he was not happy for Mrs. Miao, how many times would he not be happy? What I am worried about and entangled in is all meaningless things.

Probably because he was better to himself than in his previous life, he unconsciously wanted more, especially in the past few months he has been by his side, so that he gave birth to the illusion that he was alone.

Mrs. Miao was pregnant, and suddenly beat herself back to reality coldly-

Thanks to her.

Feng Luan shook his head, putting aside the idea and not thinking about it.

Instead of picking up yesterday's "Sutra of Amitayus", the scripture was obscure, she couldn't read it, but she found that the words on it were very good. The neat and neat Xiaokai, the ups and downs are beautiful, the power penetrates the back of the paper, and at first glance it is the person who knows the way of copying books, and has the pen power to practice calligraphy all year round.

Wang Xu copied it himself? It's a pity that such a person became a eunuch.

The Wang family of the Duke of Zhenguo was also Xuanhe for a while, which was better than today's Fan family, but unfortunately because of the rebellion of Prince Jingde, he was implicated, and the entire Wang family was defeated. Thinking of the current prince Xiao Ying, the most difficult thing is that he was involved in a major case and was abolished, history is repeating, and most of the princes have no good end.

It's just that it's still a little early before that day.

Feng Luan shook his head, but remembered that Wang Xu had been busy for himself for a long time yesterday, and before he thanked him, he thought about rewarding something.

But he is not a girl, he is not good at rewarding jewelry, purses and other things, and the clothes and materials are not suitable, because he is still a person who walks in front of the palace, and he has always worn the official green inner prison clothes in the palace, and he has not been suitable for a while. I originally wanted to send a set of four treasures of the study, but I thought of Xiao Duo's taboo, and I was afraid of causing trouble for Wang Xu, so I forgot about it after the worst.

Feng Luan sighed, opened a small drawer and took out a gold ingot-

Be slight, be slight.

I don't know what he likes, I can't think of a suitable one, or this is the safest and most convenient, he can buy whatever he likes with gold, but he doesn't have to bother with his brains.

******

Wang Xu looked at the golden piece on the table and was silent.

The little gourd looked at the side and looked at the glow, "Ah, master, you just turned a few flowers, and Concubine Feng will reward such a big piece of gold, tsk......" Rubbing her hands with joy, "You can buy a lot of snacks." ”

The king was silent, but put the gold away and put it in his purse.

Xiao Hulu swallowed his saliva, "Master, do you want to swallow it alone?" He said with a shy face: "Yesterday, I helped the master go to the garden to pinch flowers, and I ran so fast that my legs were sore, so I was rewarded with a little bit of flowers." ”

"Take it." Wang Xu really touched a piece of silver and gave it to him.

"Huh?" Xiao Hulu felt that his complexion was a little unusual, and smiled, "Master, you won't take it seriously, right?" I'm just joking, I don't really want to ......."

"Alright, don't be verbose." Wang Xu felt that he was very noisy, stood up, and went out with a flowing figure.

The little gourd thought it looked good, and he twisted his body to learn it in the back, but it was weird, and he couldn't help but smack himself, "Stupid people and stupid looks!" You are the life of a dog slave in your life, and you can't learn from the master. ”

Wang Xu turned around and scolded: "Don't follow me." ”

The little gourd quickly stopped.

Wang Xu's identity is still the inner supervisor who walks in front of the palace, but he is only "temporarily" transferred to Feng Luan's side, in fact, there are no prescribed errands in the palace, and no one cares. So as long as he doesn't go to Fengluan's bedroom, other places in Nuan Xiangwu, and even other public places in the palace, he goes casually.

He walked aimlessly, wandered into the garden behind the warm incense dock, stood in the gazebo, quietly blowing the wind, and felt the purse in his hand, feeling the weight of gold.

In a trance, I remembered that hot and sunny day more than ten years ago.

The mother led her to kneel on the side of the street, and on her small backbone, there was a wooden sign that read "Sell yourself to bury your brother". That day was particularly scorching, and he and his mother knelt all morning, and they were already extremely thirsty, but in order to bury their brother, they could only continue to kneel under the scorching sun.

A well-wisher wanted to come over and throw the broken silver, but was persuaded by the insider, "Don't throw the silver, beware of getting into trouble!" ”

"Why the trouble?"

"Can you see clearly?" The insider said next to him: "Who are these mother and son? That's the descendant of the Wang family who committed the crime of rebellion, and he is also a descendant, who knows what trouble Lu Dao will cause? Let's go. ”

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Occasionally, someone came up, and was persuaded by those who had spread the knowledge, and he and his mother knelt from morning to afternoon, without even asking for a copper plate, hungry, thirsty, dizzy, and their body could not help shaking, and they could hardly hold on.

The mother said bitterly: "That's it, the lights are out, go back and find a straw mat to wrap your brother." ”

Just then, a crowd of horse-drawn carriages came by.

In front of the housekeeper to open the way, behind the mother-in-law and maids followed, in the middle is a luxurious gold-topped carriage, the whole street was cleared, and he and his mother had to move back. There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, "Ouch, Mrs. Feng Er is really angry, tsk, look at this battle......"

"That is, people married into the Fengguo Mansion."

Fengguo Mansion? Listening to my mother, the Zhenguo Gong Wang family was the most noble in the family back then, and the Feng family, the Fan family, and the Mu family could not be compared, let alone other official eunuchs.

It's a pity that I don't remember it, and the Zhenguo Gong Wang's family has already been ruined.

At the beginning, relying on my grandmother's private relief, I had the protection of my mother and brother, and I could barely get by. Later, my grandmother died, and my uncles didn't want to get into trouble anymore, and as the days went by, my brother was framed, so that he got into a lawsuit and finally died in prison.

Where can a woman whose mother is a daughter support a family? When her brother died, she became seriously ill first, used up her family's poor savings, and finally came back with a life, but she didn't even have the money for her brother's coffin.

At that time, I knew for the first time what despair was.

"Mother, mother, look!" A girl's voice as crisp as a silver bell sounded, coming from the gorgeous carriage, and behind the curtain of the carriage, half of a white jade doll-like pink face was revealed, "What is written on it?" What kind of brother is selling yourself? Ah Luan didn't recognize that word. ”

There was a young woman like a fairy sitting faintly behind, pulled down the curtain of the car, and said in a cool voice: "His brother is dead, and he wants to sell himself to buy a coffin for his brother." ”

"Ahh The little girl's voice was pitying, "He's so pitiful." ”

"Alright, don't talk obediently."

The carriage "squeaked, squeaked" slowly drove past, and I looked at the gorgeous carriage with disgust, and hated the mother and daughter who didn't know the suffering of the world! When he was gritting his teeth, he suddenly heard two crisp sounds of "jingle bell", and a pair of small gold bracelets fell in front of him, and the little girl probed out and smiled sweetly: "I'll give it to you." ”

The servant woman next to her hurriedly stopped the car and said to the inside: "Madam, the young lady has rewarded people with the gold bracelet." ”

"You sit down for me!" The young woman inside was reprimanding her daughter, and then said unhappily: "If you reward it, you will reward it, what is the great thing?" If it's dirty, do you have to pick it up again? Let's go. ”

The mother hurriedly picked up a pair of small gold bracelets, kowtowed again and again, and said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, thank you!" In the future, I will set up an immortal tablet for your nobles......"

The Feng family's carriage continued to move forward.

Relying on the pair of small gold bracelets that sold her, she buried her brother, and not long after her mother died, she buried her mother,—— which is nothing to her, but for herself, it is a great kindness that she can never forget.

I was poor in this life, and I finally tossed and turned into this step.

Unexpectedly, he stayed by her side again after going around and around, as if he was destined to let himself repay her kindness and repay the favor owed to him many years ago.

Wang Xu thought that all this was just a coincidence, and he didn't know that the emperor's arrangement actually had another meaning.

He and Feng Luan have another unknown relationship.

******

The days after Xiao Duo left, not only quiet, but also monotonous, the concubines of the palace had nothing to fight for, but they all seemed to have sent a string, and they got along with each other well. It may not be appropriate to say that harmony, to be precise, no one cares about anyone, and everyone doesn't like to dress up, so they just meet and say hello every day in Wei Ruitang.

Feng Luan even felt that this was very good, but it saved a lot of intrigues.

After going to Weirui Hall every day, I spent time in Nuanxiangwu, eating, sleeping, and accompanying the children, so that the peaceful days passed until the end of the month, and finally changed a little.

Because Zhen's birthday has arrived, Feng Luan has to go back to her parents' house to congratulate her mother on her birthday.

In order to take care of the dragon and phoenix fetus, Jiang's mother stayed, "Concubine Side, rest assured, she will not let outsiders enter the warm incense dock." "It's also strange to say, as soon as Xiao Duo is not there, everyone feels that no one is in town, and they are more worried.

Feng Luan made careful arrangements to let people patrol around Nuanxiangwu, she didn't want a fire incident similar to Jiang Gongfei's palace to scare the children again. He also gave everyone an account, counted the money in advance, and confessed: "You all cheer me up today, and when you come back, there will be a reward for everyone." ”

Of course, there will be a reward only if you are safe.

Everyone understood in their hearts and responded in unison: "Yes." ”

When Nuan Xiangwu was working together to swear a teacher, the eldest grandson and grandmother came over.

She is Xiao Duo's nurse, and she has the highest status among the slaves, and the subordinates of Nuan Xiangwu all owe her way to make way, she entered the door and said: "The prince confessed before leaving, saying that Concubine Feng went back to her mother's house today, and I was afraid that you would not be at ease, so let the slave maid come over for a day today." ”

Xiao Duo had already made arrangements? is careful, Feng Luan sighed lightly in his heart, and then restrained himself and said with a smile: "I am worried that there are no older and more stable people to watch, grandma is here, I am much more relieved." ”

This is the truth, the eldest grandson is only loyal to Xiao Duo.

After all, Jiang's mother is her own companion, and the power is only in the warm incense dock, and the eldest grandson and grandmother have no problem walking in the palace, even if the princess sees her, she has to give one or two points of face.

Xiao Duo ...... he still has a little conscience, at least he remembers the children.

So I cleaned up, and I didn't go out until almost noon in Nuanxiangwu, I just wanted to catch up with a meal, and then I came back early after eating. Before leaving, my mother was sure to be able to understand her difficulties and not need to worry, so before leaving, she told her again and again, and said, "I will be back soon, it won't take long." ”

She didn't know that trouble had come to her door.

It's not to find the door of the Duanwang Mansion, after all, Xiao Duo also made arrangements before leaving, and the entire palace is guarded with iron buckets, unless the emperor wants to raid the house, no one dares to break into the Duanwang Mansion.

Feng Luan's troubles today are outside.

The carriage left the gate of the palace and moved steadily towards the Feng family. In front, the royal family opened the road, clearing the street, so that the stalls and pedestrians were temporarily avoided. On both sides and behind are also guards with knives and guns, tightly surrounding Fengluan's carriage in case someone suddenly rushes over, and there are also healthy servants and mothers-in-law to follow, all the way is not magnificent.

Feng Luan pondered, this year is not my mother's tenth birthday, it will not be a big event, it is almost relatives and old friends who know each other, go back and order it by themselves, as long as it is to congratulate her mother and then talk to her. Originally, it was a very worry-free and warm thing, but thinking of the ...... of her relatives, Mrs. Mu would definitely come over today, and Mu Roujia, the second grandmother of the long house, couldn't avoid it.

Thinking of this mother and daughter, the mood is a little solemn and not light.

I hope they don't quarrel today, hmph, if they dare to disturb their mother's birthday, they and their mother will not be polite! If you don't do it as a good relative, then don't be a relative.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a sharp voice outside, "Chirp——! With an indescribable harsh discomfort, it suddenly sounded through the air!

What kind of strange sound is this? Before Feng Luan could finish thinking about this idea, he saw that the carriage suddenly shook, and someone stepped up, directly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and pressed his head down.

In a moment of shock, I heard Wang Xu's voice ringing in my ears, "Bow your head!" ”

Then there was a "ding", then "buzzing", turning my head to look, the white feather arrow pierced through the curtain at the other end and nailed straight to the window! The arrow feathers were still trembling.

"Don't be afraid, wait for me." Wang Xu stretched out his hand on the back of her neck, making it soft, and quickly put the person in the carriage and lay down, and then his body was like electricity, and he stepped on the carriage and flew towards the opposite beam!

The whole process was just in an instant, and before Feng Luan could understand what was going on, the person couldn't move.

There was already a mess outside, and the palace guards exclaimed: "Hurry up and surround and protect Concubine Feng!" Someone shouted again, "Catch up with the assassin and catch him alive!" Quick, catch up! ”

Someone is going to stab themselves?! Feng Luan was stunned and speechless.

When she came to her senses, it was Wang Xu who saved her just now, and she was in the midst of a period of fear for the rest of her life, when she heard a loud "bang" outside, as if something had fallen down heavily!

Someone was first surprised, "The assassin caught it?" Then disappointed, "Dead? ”

"It's a dead man." Wang Xu's voice sounded outside, with displeasure, "Carry this person's body back to the palace, and then dispose of it later." Then he got into the carriage again and lifted the curtain, "Concubine Fang, I was rude just now." ”

Feng Luan was lying on the ground with numbness all over his body, with a wry smile on his face, where could he still speak?

Wang Xu reached out and touched the back of her neck, and then tried to help her up, but the tentacles were the warm fragrance of nephrite, and the faint fragrance emitted because of the closeness. This was something he had never touched and felt before, and it was not dangerous, but it made his heart skip a beat, and he suddenly let go like an electric shock.

"Bang!" Feng Luan's head slammed softly on the seat, and he sighed softly, complaining, "What's the matter with you?" It's good, why do you want to let go, I stumbled. ”

Wang Xu's white jade-like face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I missed it just now." ”

Feng Luan saw that he had saved his life, so he didn't have much to complain about. I just want to get up by myself, but my whole body seems to have been pumped by someone, from my neck to my shoulders, and my arms can't be lifted at all. I couldn't help muttering, "Why don't I have the strength?" ”

"I ordered your acupoint just now, you have to take it slowly." Wang Xu looked at her, hesitated again and again, but still didn't reach out to help her again, but quickly went out and called Baozhu, "You go in and help Concubine Feng up and sit with her." "Don't be afraid, the assassin is dead." ”

The author has something to say: silently code words......
