Chapter Twenty-Eight: You're not mistaken, I'm King Pei
Escape.
This is the name given by Li Xian when he joked about the place where Rong Niang and the others lived, however, when he secretly searched for it at noon that day, he found that Rong Niang was not there. A few palace maids who were familiar with him first sold for a while, and only then did they tell Rong Niang that she had not been feeling happy recently, and she managed to bring her a message at home a few days ago, and she had been sullen all the time, and now she was about the back of the canal.
Hearing this, Li Xian was immediately annoyed, and regretted why he hadn't thought of it earlier, so he could also help Rong Niang bring a letter to her family. After looking for it along the way, he saw Rong Niang sitting on a bluestone by the canal, looking at the water in a daze.
"Sister Rong!"
Rong Niang came back to her senses at this time, and when she saw that it was Li Xian, she reluctantly showed a smile: "You haven't been here for a few days, why are you free to come and see me today?" ”
"Didn't I run out of time the other day?" Although he is indeed busy, Li Xian is still a little weak-hearted. Seeing that Rong Niang's smile revealed a bit of gloom, he took a few steps forward and asked tentatively, "Sister Rong, they said that someone in your family sent a message in, and you were in a bad mood after that, what is it for?" ”
"They're so talkative!"
Rong Niang stood up suddenly, her face full of anger. After a while, she looked at Li Xian and sighed, then stretched out her hand and stroked him twice, before she smiled bitterly: "Liulang, even if you know these things, it's useless. My family sent a message saying that because they owed too much debt, they were afraid that they would have to sell my two younger brothers to fill the family. Pity that when I entered the palace, they were only three years old, and they had not heard from me for more than ten years, and the first news they heard was such tragic news. But...... But I can't help in the palace! As she spoke, she finally couldn't hide the sadness in her heart, and hid her face with her hands and sobbed.
If he heard this from other people's mouths, Li Xian would definitely reprimand it with dog blood, but at this time, there was a bleak taste. After being stunned for a moment, he wanted to comfort a few words, but he couldn't find a suitable word for a while, so he simply stated his intentions.
"Sister Rong, I'm here today because I want you to do me a favor. You should know that His Royal Highness King Pei has just obtained the permission of His Majesty and Niangniang to select a group of palace maids to practice, and the leader of the green camp has set Sister A Luo next to King Pei, but Miss Helan is not very suitable for the red camp. Your Highness and I recommended Sister Rong, would you like to try it? ”
Seeing that Rong Niang raised her head and was full of astonishment, he persuaded while the iron was hot: "This is a good opportunity, as long as you can succeed in training after three months, not to mention the reward, Sister Rong, your situation in the future will be much better." His Royal Highness King Pei is very easy to get along with, and once he knows what happened to you, he will definitely help you. Besides, he has the permission of His Majesty and the Queen Mother to leave the palace often, and if he can take you out at that time, you may be able to reunite with your family. ”
Rong Niang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she showed a puzzled expression. After staring at Li Xian for a long time, she suddenly asked, "For such a big thing, can you really recommend it?" When the palace maids were screened at the beginning, how many people wanted to be selected, but the mother only let the palace maids of the three halls be selected in the past, and many people were still annoyed there. This time it's still the leader, how can King Pei pick me? ”
Li Xian smiled mysteriously: "Shanren has their own clever plan, Sister Rong, as long as you agree, the rest will be handed over to me." ”
Although I don't believe that Li Xian has such magical powers, Rong Niang cares about her family wholeheartedly, so naturally she can't take care of it so carefully. Coupled with the fact that Li Xian was there to boast about King Pei's various deeds when she had nothing to do in the past, she nodded after thinking about it: "That's good, it's just that you don't want to come nonsense, and when the time comes, I won't be able to worry about it." ”
After receiving Rong Niang's reply, Li Xian was in a good mood, and immediately used the power given to him by Empress Wu after he went back. There were more than a thousand palace maids over the age of twenty in the entire Luoyang Imperial Palace, but after he deliberately indicated a few ranges, there were only a few dozen people left. In order to avoid the risk of exposure, he directly adopted the method of circle the list, selected Rong Niang and nine other unrelated people, and asked everyone about their skills by asking the commander of the Ye Ting Palace, and he immediately circled Rong Niang's name personally.
Although Rong Niang said that she was looking forward to it, she didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly, and the group of palace maids who lived with her were naturally envious, surprised, and jealous, and the congratulatory people gathered in a room. Even in the joy of joy, Rong Niang did not dare to forget Li Xian's instructions, it was a complete picture of unexpected joy, no matter who asked about the mystery, they shook their heads and said that they didn't know. After making a fuss for a day, someone took her to Jin to see the martial queen the next day.
Empress Wu also asked Rong Niang to serve a few times in the past, but she didn't remember the name, but at this moment she found that it was the person she had used, not the kind of woman who was blindly charming, so she was naturally very satisfied, and asked people to take her to see Li Xian after a few words. In the end, when she came to the destination after a big turn, Rong Niang was already sweating.
"Sister Rong."
Familiar people, familiar voices, strange places, unfamiliar clothes - the first time she saw Li Xian, Rong Niang almost couldn't believe her eyes, and immediately exclaimed: "Liulang, you ......"
At this time, there was only Ah Luo next to him, Li Xian naturally had no scruples, and walked down with a smile and circled around Rong Niang twice: "What, Sister Rong doesn't know me anymore?" ”
Rong Niang finally came to her senses and stammered and asked, "You...... Are you His Royal Highness King Pei? No...... Isn't it mistaken? ”
"You're not mistaken, I'm King Pei!" Li Xian saw that Rong Niang's face changed suddenly, and knew that she could not accept this fact for a while, so he explained with a smile, "I didn't mean to lie to you, if I hadn't disguised myself to hide my identity, you wouldn't have recognized me as a younger brother, wouldn't you?" Besides, you should know that the top is watching. All in all, it's okay if you want to be angry, but now you're my man! For the sake of the past, help me! ”
Rong Niang was in a mess, and she didn't know what to say, so she just nodded blankly. It wasn't until Ah Luo took her to the lodging that she barely came back to her senses, grabbed Ah Luo's arm, and asked in a trembling voice, "I...... I'm not dreaming, am I? ”
Ah Luo has long been accustomed to Li Xian's various tricks, this time she was not surprised at all, and when she saw Rong Niang's startled appearance, she smiled and patted her hand and comforted: "It's not a dream, speaking of which, His Highness has told me several times." said that he recognized a sister, how gentle and amiable, I have always been curious about what kind of person he is, and it was really different when I saw it today! Don't worry, you will be the person next to Your Highness in the future, if there is anything, just look for me Ah Luo. ”
I always thought that the younger brother of the little chamberlain turned out to be King Pei, this fact brought a huge impact to Rong Niang, this night, lying on the couch, she was never able to sleep peacefully, and the young man named Goro brought by Li Xian several times must be the prince. Unexpectedly, she actually met the prince and King Pei by accident!
