110. A mess
Pick draft girls from various palaces? Don't laugh, this is obviously to find an excuse to take people away from the Queen Mother. Cui Jie's Zai Yanshou Palace must have eyeliner, and when he learned that Zhiying went to the Queen Mother's side, not only was he not tortured and imprisoned, but he also seemed to be quite close to the Queen Mother, so it was not good to come directly to ask for someone, so he came up with such a curve strategy to save the country.
Rong is also a smart person, how can he not hear what his son meant, his eyes moved, and he smiled: "That's good, let's do it, starting from the queen, there are suitable candidates in each palace to pick one, as long as it can meet the emperor's wishes, he will serve people, and nothing else matters." ”
Cui Jie was relieved to hear her agree, and said, "Is there a suitable girl here after the queen mother, or call me to take a look?" ”
Rong put down the jade chopsticks with a smile, and said angrily: "Look, look, the emperor is anxious to accept newcomers, and he doesn't have to stretch out his hand to the mourning family, right?" There are not many people in the longevity palace of the mourning family, and they are all a few years old, and the emperor will leave a few more, and there will be no one to serve the mourning family. ”
"When the queen mother says this, it seems that her son is not filial," Cui Jie said with a smile, "If I fall in love with the people around the queen mother, I will definitely choose a few good supplies to the queen mother, how can I let the queen mother have no one to serve in front of me?" I don't care how old I am, I say that I am close to Zhu Zhechi, and the people around the queen mother are exposed to it every day, and they must be gentle and considerate good girls. ”
Rong still shook his head: "No, no, no, the people around the mourning family are all old people who have used it for more than ten or twenty years, if the emperor changes people, the mourning family will not be used to coming." The mourning family saw that Concubine Wei Xian had two good girls beside her, so they asked her for the emperor, and then asked the Internal Affairs Office to send two new palace maids over, so it was decided. ”
Cui Jie was obviously unwilling, but it was not easy to peel off Rong's words, so he could only agree with a smile, and the mother and son continued to eat happily.
And Zhiying, who was listening on the sidelines, was already completely confused in her head, and Rong clearly refused Cui Jie to take people away from her, which means that she didn't mean to stuff herself to Cui Jie from beginning to end, so what did she keep herself for? Zhiying vaguely felt that the mother and son were not as harmonious as they knew in their previous lives, but they looked like they were separated, and Rong, as Cui Jie's biological mother, seemed to have other plans.
What is the plan? Is she going to help Cui Yi defeat her son? No, no, this is not something that a mother would do, and Cui Yi is not close to her, what good can it do to her if Cui Yi is sent to the throne?
Unless Cui Yi is his own son, these brothers were dropped when they were children - Zhiying was taken aback by her whims, and the idea was rejected by herself as soon as it flashed in her mind, if this was the case, the Rong family would not sit idly by and watch Cui Yi be killed in the previous life and be indifferent, not to mention, these brothers are not born in a year, and they can't change if they want to.
In addition to this absurd idea, Zhiying racked his brains and couldn't come to any other conclusions.
Cui Jie couldn't make it, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he hid it well, and after eating, he chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, and he didn't leave until the ink road, and as soon as he left, Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief as if he had unloaded the burden on his shoulders.
"What, are you tired?" When Rong saw her like this, he asked.
Zhiying immediately took his hand away from his chest: "No, I'm just a little hungry." "This is the truth, other palace maids can still change shifts to have a meal, but she has been hungry since breakfast until now, and she has not had a chance to leave half a step.
Rong suddenly realized, smiled and nodded his head: "Alas, you look at the memory of the mourning family, you have forgotten that you haven't eaten yet, hurry up, ask the imperial dining room to make some food and send it over, be quick." "Immediately there will be a grandmother to do it.
When the meal was served, I was shocked again, this-this is clearly a lunch made by the queen's share! A large table of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, all of which she was tired of eating in her previous life, what the hell is Rong trying to do!
Rong diligently pulled her into the banquet and sat down: "If you're hungry, eat quickly, whatever you like to eat, ask someone to bring it to you." ”
Zhiying was originally very hungry, but looking at this table, he was so frightened that he lost his appetite, and only ate a small half bowl of rice in fear, and most of the dishes were not touched, Rong sighed when he saw this, and said: "Why do you eat so much, you see that your body is thin, alas! ”
"The Queen Mother," Zhiying couldn't hold it anymore, and took the initiative to propose, "Please ask the Queen Mother to retreat, the concubine has something to say to the mother." ”
Rong agreed without saying a word, and with a wave of his hand, the people in the hall retreated like water.
Zhiying wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a serious face: "Niangniang, we don't talk darkly, what does Niangniang want her concubine to do?" The concubine thought about it for a day, but she never figured it out, the emperor wanted to take the concubine away in a different way, but the mother didn't agree, it can be seen that the concubine should not want to harm the life of the concubine, but the concubine is the princess of Wu after all, the concubine is so protective of the concubine, the concubine is really uncomfortable, I implore the mother to say anything clearly! ”
Rong laughed and said, "What do you want to say, that's it." Zhiying, the mourning family knows that you are a smart person, and they do like you, since you can't guess what the mourning family means, the mourning family will mention you again. ”
Zhiying said solemnly: "Niangniang, please speak." ”
"You are the eldest daughter of the eldest grandson's family, but it's a pity that you parted ways with your family and suffered a lot outside, the mourning family likes you, feels sorry for you, and wants to accept you as a righteous daughter, are you willing?"
What?!
Nine times out of ten, there is nothing more terrifying than this, Zhiying even wondered if he had heard it wrong, and repeated: "Righteous girl? ”
Rong's Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a little more threat in his smile: "What's the matter, don't you want to?" Although the Rong family is not like the eldest grandson's family, it is a scholarly family, but the ancestor is also the founder of the Great Chu, and the mourning family is the queen mother, can you still humiliate you? ”
Zhiying hurriedly said with a smile: "Niangniang misunderstood, how dare the concubine think so, the concubine is surprised...... Niangniang accepted the concubine as a righteous daughter, what did the concubine do after that? ”
"This ...... You don't have to worry about it for the time being," Rong mysteriously refused to continue, "As long as you obediently follow the mourning family, the mourning family will not let you do anything dangerous, nor will it be unfavorable to your family, you just need to remember one thing, listen to the mourning family, and the final result must be satisfactory to you and me." ”
This is the same as not saying it, Zhiying gave up digging something out of her mouth, and after eating, Rong let her drink the medicine again, and then let her go back to rest.
The next two days were peaceful, Zhiying could only move within the scope of Yanshou Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were very polite to her, as if they really regarded her as the queen mother's righteous daughter, Zhiying herself didn't think it was a good thing, Rong's smile hid a knife, there must be a more terrible conspiracy behind it than her father's sister and even Cui Jie, and because she couldn't guess it at all, it was even more frightening.
On the fifth night of entering the palace, after drinking the medicine, Zhiying had just fallen asleep for a while when she heard a pop outside the door, and then the door was quietly pushed open, and a black shadow flashed in.
Zhiying couldn't see who came through the tent, and was about to sit up, but the person had already come straight to the bed, and with another poof, the palace maid who was keeping vigil in front of the bed fell down with a bang.
Zhiying reached out to pull the tent, but the person outside was faster than her, and opened the bed tent that was in the way, ripped off the black cloth that covered her face, revealing a face she was very familiar with: "It's me." ”
“…… How did you end up here? "I can't find any surprise at all.
Cui Yi was dressed in a black night coat, his hair was dripping, Zhiying reached out and touched his arm, only to find that he was soaked all over, and there was an unpleasant smell, but it was not raining outside, so he immediately understood: "You swam in?" ”
"Well," Cui Yi also ignored his wet and smelly body, and hugged her into his arms, "Thank God, you are safe." ”
Zhiying has been living with a hanging heart for the past few days, and when I saw him now, my heart was finally put back in my stomach, and I hugged him tightly, and my eyes were moist and hot: "I thought I would never see you again, too many things have happened in the past few days, I ......"
Cui Yi pressed a finger on her lips: "If you have anything to say, Zhai Zicheng will answer outside the palace, without further ado, let's leave now." ”
Zhiying nodded immediately, wiped away the tears that almost flowed out with her backhand, and followed him to roll over and get out of bed.
The palace maid in front of the bed was crooked, I don't know if it was life or death, and I couldn't care so much about it, when I put on my shoes and was about to run out, there was a "yo" sound outside the door, sharp and thin, it was the voice of a eunuch.
After a pause, Cui Yi immediately raised her hand to let her slow down, took out a small box from her arms, which seemed to contain a hidden weapon, and walked towards the door.
"Eldest grandson, the emperor invites you to take a trip to Wansheng Palace." Outside the door, it was not the eunuch of Yanshou Palace, but the great eunuch Fu of Wansheng Palace.
Cui Yi made a look - kill him and escape?
Zhiying immediately stopped it with a look in his eyes - no! Fu definitely won't come to invite alone, in case the secret weapon doesn't kill everyone in time and make a noise, then don't think about escaping.
Cui Yi frowned, unable to make up his mind, Zhiying made a lip shape: "I'll go back when I go, you wait for me here." Cui Yi's brows furrowed even more, but there was no other way, so he had to nod reluctantly.
Zhiying then replied: "Got it, wait for me to change my clothes." ”
Fu snorted, Zhiying picked up his clothes and put them on his body, and motioned for Cui Yi to hide on the bed, Cui Yi jumped on the bed, and Zhiying pulled the tent again, and then opened the door.
Fu De was waiting in the courtyard with seven or eight Ouchi guards, and when he saw her come out, he seemed to have a smile on his face, and asked, "Why is there no one keeping vigil in front of the princess's door, what if this is an assassin?" ”
Zhiying replied: "Please let my father-in-law lead the way." ”
Fu laughed a few times again, and waved his hand charmingly: "Please." ”
