"What, are you going to tell us you're a woman?" Li Wei next to him came up and joked, he was a foreign official, so naturally he couldn't enter the palace like Liu Hu and Sixi, and when he was about to leave, he heard the conversation between Sixi and the little beggar, and he thought it was very interesting, so he came up and made up a sentence.

"Hmph." The little beggar straightened his chest, raised his head and said, "That's right, I'm a woman!" ”

"You? Female? Hahaha! Sixi laughed first, the sharp laughter sounded a little harsh in the night, and after a while he reluctantly accepted the laughter, and said in the unkind gaze of the little beggar: "Although our family is a eunuch, we also know what a woman looks like, just like you, you tell our family, from head to toe, where does she look like a woman?" ”

Li Wei also didn't believe it, picked up the silver from the ground and stuffed it into the little beggar's hand and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, take the silver and leave quickly, this palace is not a place for you to play around." ”

"I'm not lying, I'm really a woman, but I usually beg for food in those places, if I let people know that I am a woman, it is easy to suffer, so I keep pretending to be a man!" The little beggar was a little anxious, in order to confirm his words, he held his chest harder, this time, Sixi and they really saw a little clue from it, looked at each other, and they were all a little puzzled, is this kid really a woman?

If he is a woman, then it is not impossible to enter the palace to be a little palace maid, but this has to be done with Concubine Xi's nod, Sixi glanced at Yin Zhen and Ling Ruo, who had already gone very far, temporarily dispelled this thought, pondered for a moment and said: "Why don't you go to the inn with Master Li first, and then decide whether to let you enter the palace after our family returns to Concubine Xi tomorrow." ”

Of course, if Concubine Xi really lets the little beggar enter the palace at that time, she has to find the grandmother to check that the little beggar is indeed a woman.

"No way!" The little beggar shook his head like a wave drum, and said that he would not agree to anything, "If I leave now, what can you do if you ignore it tomorrow, no, no, no, or you go and ask Concubine Xi Niangniang now, if it doesn't work, call them back." She finally found someone who was willing to take her in, keep her by her side, say nothing and no longer miss it, since she was a child, she has been begging for a life in the upheaval, and all day long with a group of beggars, in order to be able to eat and be punched and kicked, she is really afraid of the kind of precarious days, no food. That bag of silver is good, but at most it can only protect her for a while, and she doesn't know what business is, once the silver is used up, life will definitely become the same as before.

Although she stayed by Concubine Xi's side to be a palace maid, and she heard that there were many rules in the palace, she could be sure that Concubine Xi was a very good person, and it shouldn't be too bitter to do things by her side. And the palace, there are treasures everywhere, and when the time comes, Concubine Xi will be happy and reward herself casually, and even if she is really not used to the days in the palace and go out of the palace, she will not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of her life.

"Let our family call Concubine Xi back?" Sixi's eyelids jumped, and he looked at the little beggar like a madman, "Concubine Xi is the master, our family is just a slave, how can there be a reason for a slave to call the master back, you are really crazy." ”

Seeing that the little beggar still had to speak, entangled for so long, Sixi was really a little impatient, and said with a sinking face: "Our family still has to rush into the palace to serve the emperor, so I don't have so much time to spend here with you." In short, either you take the money and leave immediately, or go to the inn with Master Li to settle down, and then wait for news from our family. ”

Don't look at the little beggar is not very old, but his ability to observe words and emotions is not weak, seeing that Sixi was really angry, he had to pretend to follow Li Wei away, and he couldn't help but turn around and tell Sixi not to forget about it.

This man is really troublesome! Sixi shook his head, ignored the little beggar, and hurried to the door.

From the Great Qing Gate to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, on this road, the lights are endless, which makes the entire harem dyed with a layer of gorgeous color.

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, the water-red light was particularly bright, and under the shimmering light, Ling Ruoyan smiled, stopped and said, "Your Majesty, the residence of the concubine is in the Chengqian Palace?" ”

Yin Zhen looked at her with a smile and said softly, "Isn't it good to accompany me here tonight?" ”

Ling Ruo's face turned slightly red, and he bowed his head and said: "The concubine has been away from the palace for many days, and she is very worried about Hongli, and the concubine wants to go to see him first." ”

"It's fine." This time, Yinzhen did not object, and said: "If Hongli sees you come back, I don't know how to be happy." Speaking of this, he called Sixi and instructed: "Go and raise your shoulders and send Concubine Xi back to Chengqian Palace." ”

"Your Majesty." When she climbed on the shoulder, Ling Ruo said with concern to Yinzhen, who was standing at the foot of the white marble steps and watching her leave: "The emperor has worked hard all the way, rest early, and the concubines will come again tomorrow to greet the emperor." ”

Yin Zhen nodded with a smile, and after the palace lamp that was led to the front and back of the shoulder disappeared into the darkness, he turned around and entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, he was indeed a little tired all the way, but fortunately, the person he wanted finally returned to his side, and he finally did not run in vain.

Chengqian Palace stood quietly in the dark, this palace that was still gorgeous in the East and West Zodiac Palaces had fallen silent since Ling Ruo left, allowing the dust to slowly cover that layer of luxury. No one knows when the silence of the road will disappear, or perhaps forever......

Yang Hai, who was in charge of the vigil, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, he quickly got up and picked up the wind lamp, and ran through the courtyard to open the door in small steps, feeling quite uneasy, since the master left, few people in the Chengqian Palace came, let alone in the middle of the night. In his mind, such an alarming knock on the door was often accompanied by something unpleasant.

Yang Hai slammed the palace door hard, and was about to ask what was going on, when he suddenly saw the person standing in the front, which made his whole person feel like he had been struck by lightning, and he didn't even know what to say about the wind lamp in his hand when it fell to the ground, but just looked at it in a daze.

Ling Ruo bent down and picked up the wind lantern from the ground and handed it to Kang Hai, chuckling and chuckling: "What, this palace has only been away for half a year, don't you know this palace?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Hai suddenly woke up, the master is back, is he really back, thinking of this, his heart is agitated, and after taking the wind lamp, he knelt on his knees and said loudly: "Slave Yang Hai knocks on the master, the master is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" ”

"Get up." Ling Ruo looked at him with a smile on the corner of her mouth, raised her feet and stepped into the Chengqian Palace, which had been vacant for several months, and as for the palace people who had sent her, they retreated silently after saluting.

Looking at the palace that is the same as in her memory, she is both familiar and emotional, and she is back, and after several near-deaths, she finally returns here.

Yang Hai followed behind Ling Ruo and said excitedly: "The master will go back to the palace, and the slave will go and call Nanqiu and Shui Xiu to wake them up, and kowtow to the master." ”

Ling Ruo waved his hand and said, "No need, let them fall asleep, it's not too late to ask for peace tomorrow, this palace wants to go to see Hongli now, you are here to stay alive." ”

In Yang Hai's respectful response, Ling Ruo turned around and went to the dormitory where Hongli was, and the candle flame lit on the bronze pattern Rui Beast candlestick was faintly burning, so that the hall was not too dark.
