If beauty is pure wine, it makes people gradually intoxicated. Then what Wang Xu encountered now was a bottle of spirits, which made his head dizzy almost instantly. It wasn't until the female officer had already fastened his belt for him and slowly retreated that he gradually came back to his senses.

"Thank you!" Wang Xu smiled sincerely.

The female officer owed slightly, but did not continue. Instead, he said softly: "Now that the general has finished dressing, I don't know if he can go on the road?" At this moment, it is not early, and no matter how late it is, I am afraid that it will delay the time to enter the court. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the room next door, and saw that Dian Wei was already dressed and standing not far from him, so he nodded: "Hmm!" Let's go! ”

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out through the courtyard. Dian Wei didn't say much, and followed closely behind him.

It wasn't until Wang Xu had already walked away that a palace maid next to the female official suddenly stepped forward and said jokingly: "Sister Chan, why would you personally dress him?" Did you take a fancy to him? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" The female official who was staring at Wang Xu's back suddenly turned her head and said shyly: "As the female official in charge of the crown, how can I talk about these things before I leave the palace!" ”

"Oh......" The palace maid suddenly dragged out her voice, and smiled mischievously: "Sister Diao Chan turned out to be hindered by the identity of the female official, but she still thought about it in her heart, didn't she?" ”

It turned out that this female official was Ren Hongchang, who was almost married to Wang Xu back then, that is, Diao Chan. After Wang Yun was framed, he was rescued privately and sent to the palace to be the female official in charge of the Diao Chan crown. It's just that I haven't seen her for more than four years, and Diao Chan at this moment is no longer the cute little girl with big watery eyes, but has gradually grown into a great beauty who has captivated the country and the city. Moreover, over the years, a lot of things have happened through ups and downs, so Wang Xu didn't expect that the person in front of him was the little sable cicada back then.

"Cui'er, you're so naughty! Are you still teasing me? was told that he was in his heart, Diao Chan was already ashamed of himself, and his pink face was even more ruddy. The slightly shy pretty face is also more charming and amorous.

Seeing Diao Chan's appearance, the one named Cui'er stopped teasing her, and laughed: "Okay, Sister Diao Chan, the guards are all out, let's go quickly!" ”

"Hmm!" Diao Chan came back to his senses this time, and did not dare to delay, even though he walked out of the courtyard quickly.

As the palace maids walked out of the post house one after another, and each got into the carriage, the leading guards in charge of the trip did not hesitate, even if they let the guards line up on both sides to open the way, and slowly walked towards the palace.

But Diao Chan, who was sitting in the carriage, was very uneasy, because his carriage was at the front, very close to Wang Xu, who was riding a tall horse. As long as the curtain of the car window is lifted slightly, Wang Xu's back can be seen.

After hesitating for a long time, thinking that there was only Cui'er by her side, a good sister, she finally couldn't help but open a gap and looked at Wang Xu in front of her. I just want to take a look at it, look at the brother who took good care of me at the beginning, look at the back that has always stood in front of me at the moment of crisis, and recall the embrace that I can never forget......

But this hope can no longer take his eyes off, and those short days keep flashing in his mind. Wang Xu's anxious appearance in order to make her happy, the warm care, the undisguised love, and the heroic posture are all vivid, as if it were yesterday!

Unconsciously, Diao Chan's eyes were already covered with a layer of mist. I silently said in my heart: Brother Xu, you! Do you remember Chang'er?

In fact, Diao Chan has had a hard time these years, although the life in the palace is very good, but his parents died when he was more than ten years old, and then he was sent to a strange and cold court. And as a female official in charge of the courtiers, when she was just trained, she was beaten a lot, and the cold court gave her only loneliness and misery. Every lonely night, only the good memories of the past can accompany her, but unfortunately her hometown is no longer there, and her parents are dead. The only expectation is that Wang Xu, who gave him warmth again, can only take out the hairpin of the year and quietly reminisce about that little bit of happiness and warmth!

Although as she grew up, she learned to be strong. And because she is sensible and well-behaved, she gradually became the chief steward in charge of the crown, but she also saw more ugly things and was wronged a lot, and Wang Xu's figure was the only comfort in her heart. Especially recently, she was even more happy to hear the little eunuchs and palace maids talking about Wang Xu's deeds in Jingnan, although she knew that she would never be able to listen to them, and she would never see them again, but she was still the same. Just hope that Wang Xu is good and hope that he can become famous, that is enough......

But yesterday, I suddenly heard the news that Wang Xu had entered Beijing to report on his work, and asked them, the female officials in charge of the crown, to send court clothes to Wang Xu. Diao Chan was so excited at that time that he couldn't extricate himself, although he didn't dare to show it in front of too many people, he also secretly decided that he must take this opportunity to take another look at Wang Xu, even if it was just a sneak look.

Originally, according to the regulations, only when General Wei and officials above Jiuqing were appointed or replaced, or if they were admonished by the king, the female official in charge of the crown was needed to personally send the court clothes and the Diao Chan crown. And Wang Xu is obviously several levels behind, and he is not even qualified to bring the Diao Chan Crown. But she still made an excuse, only hoping to see Wang Xu, and she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night with excitement.

And when she arrived at the post house with several sisters close to her, and really saw Wang Xu, she couldn't calm her heart at all, which led to a public gaffe. As for sorting out the court clothes for the minister by hand, this is the only case. That's why her sisters were surprised and felt very unusual.

It's a pity that Wang Xu didn't recognize her in the end, although he was very disappointed, but Diao Chan was also a little happy. Even if you do recognize it, what can you do? As a female official in the palace, even if she is not seen by the emperor and accepted as a concubine, if she wants to leave the court, she will have to be after the age of thirty-five.

"Sister, you won't really like him, will you! It's not allowed in the palace! Cui'er saw that Diao Chan had been secretly looking at Wang Xu, hesitated for a long time, and finally felt worried.

Diao Chan's heart is very sad, there are too many things buried in his heart, and when he heard Cui'er's question at this moment, he finally couldn't help it anymore, and the crystal tears couldn't stop dripping down.

Seeing this scene, Cui'er immediately became anxious, Diao Chan is the dearest relative in her heart, and she has always been a strong sister, no matter how hard it is, she has never seen her cry. immediately said urgently: "I'm sorry, sister, Cui'er said the wrong thing." ”

But Diao Chan didn't answer, knowing that Cui'er was her most intimate sister, she couldn't help but sigh sadly, and said leisurely: "Cui'er, don't you always want to know the origin of my hairpin?" That was what General Wang sent before my sister entered the palace. ”

"Ahh Cui'er's eyes widened suddenly, but then she said angrily: "He is so capable, why did he let you enter the palace?" Suffering so much? It's so bad to pretend you don't know each other just now! Negative people! ”

Hearing this, Diao Chan said anxiously: "Don't say that, General Wang is a good person and loves me very much, and the matter of my entry into the palace back then has nothing to do with him." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Cui'er calmed down a little, but couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "How did my sister enter the palace back then?" Why have you never heard my sister say that? ”

Diao Chan sighed deeply, looked at Cui'er, but shook his head and said: "Cui'er, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you have been in the palace for more than two years, and you should also know that there are some things, the less you know, the better." ”

Cui'er was silent this time, and lowered her head a little sadly. However, he quickly wiped his eyes and forced himself to laugh: "Hmm! I know my sister is good to me. ”

"Hmm!" Nodding slightly, Diao Chan continued leisurely: "But I can talk to you about General Wang and me." ”

"Okay! Cui'er likes to listen to stories the most. Cui'er was worried that Diao Chan would continue to be sad, so she forced a smile on her face.

"When I was a child, my hometown was destroyed by barbarians, and I was displaced to the south, but my parents were unfortunately killed by thieves, and I have been orphaned ever since." Saying that, Diao Chan was already choked up again: "Later, I was lucky enough to meet the army of pacifying the Yellow Turbans, and I met General Wang." At that time, my sister was not yet 12 years old and didn't know much about anything, just like when you first entered the palace two years ago. At that time, General Wang was very good to me, and there was a sister named Xu Shu......"

As he spoke, Diao Chan told him about the few days he had been with Wang Xu one by one, and a happy smile appeared on his face. But as he talked about the separation, Diao Chan couldn't help but muffle: "Later, General Wang went north with General Huangfu, and I also entered the palace under the tossing and turning. ”

Cui'er is also a girl in her prime, and when she heard the little Diao Chan's story, she also smiled wistfully: "It's so good!" If only my sister could stay with General Wang. It will be very happy! ”

"Hey!" Hearing this, Diao Chan sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Cui'er slowly returned from fantasy to reality, and said with some sadness: "Sister, what should you do now?" Your love is deep-rooted, and it will be difficult to endure in the future. Look at their palace maids who were forced to separate from their lovers, crying to death all day long, how will they live in the future! ”

Diao Chan smiled miserably, and her beautiful face showed indescribable sadness. "You and I are both hard-working women in this world, where can I have any extravagant hopes, as long as I can listen to his news in the palace and know that he is doing well, it will be enough!"

"Sister!" Hearing this, Cui'er also couldn't help crying, and buried her head in Diao Chan's arms, feeling pain for Diao Chan and her own fate.

Although Diao Chan herself was also in pain, and her face was full of tears, she still gently stroked Cui'er's hair and slowly comforted: "Cui'er, you are also 15 years old, and you only held a ceremony some time ago, and you are already an adult. If it's an ordinary family, they're already married, you have to learn to be strong, you know? ”

"But Cui'er can't marry anyone in her life! Even if you apply to leave the palace at the age of thirty-five, you can still marry a good family? Cui'er was still crying.

Although Cui'er's words seemed a little shameless, at this time, it was particularly sad to hear, and Diao Chan's hand couldn't stop trembling, and she couldn't speak anymore......

Wang Xu was not far from the carriage, and Cui'er's unsuppressed cry suddenly reached her ears. Immediately looked back suspiciously, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: What's going on? Wasn't it okay just now? Why did you secretly cry?

But then I thought of the messy things in the palace, and I couldn't help but sigh secretly: Hey! These palace maids have been in the cold court for many years, maybe they are on the street at this moment, so let's see things and think about home!

was sighing, but suddenly remembered the little sable cicada back then, and immediately couldn't help but slap his forehead, secretly blaming himself: Oops, why did I forget my little sable cicada, she should still be in the palace, um! No, there will be chaos in the palace soon, so it's better to arrange it, but don't go on a business trip.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile a little, and whispered to himself: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the little sable cicada should be about to turn sixteen years old, I don't know how beautiful she looks now, I don't think it will be better than that female official...... Difference! ”

Before the bad word was spoken, Wang Xu was suddenly stunned, and when he said the bad word with wide eyes, he was already a tiger, and turned his head suddenly......
