Chapter 177: Accepting a Righteous Girl
"At that time, I didn't agree to anything, that is, I wanted to live and die with the first queen." Gonggong Li sighed, and then said, "Because, I think that after I was castrated since I was a child, I was a cheap bone, a thing that is not a ghost or a ghost." But at the end, the first queen told me that she wanted me to live hard with her love for the world. ”
When Gonggong Li said this, he couldn't help but have a few tears behind his eyes, "So, after that, I will serve the emperor wholeheartedly, my eyes are the eyes of the first queen, I can see the saint every day, just like the first queen can see the saint every day." ”
Zhinan couldn't help but be a little moved when she heard this touching story, she took Gonggong Li's old wrinkled hand and comforted, "The first queen mother is really a person who understands righteousness, and the spirit of the original queen mother can rest in peace in the sky. ”
Gonggong Li wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Zhinan and said, "Whether it's Miss Zhinan or Miss Xiwen, your appearance is really very similar to the first queen's mother, so I paid more attention to you when you entered the palace that day." ”
Zhinan suddenly realized, this is why Gonggong Li found out his identity and did not say it clearly.
"I don't know if the girl really intends to stay in the palace, with the old slave's many years of experience in serving by the emperor's side, it is not difficult to let the emperor make you a promise."
When Zhinan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, although he wanted to stay in the palace, but if he really did what Gonggong Li said, he would not be able to help Gu Muqing do things. Her previous arrogant spirit had really disappeared with the last time she was captured back into the pavilion by the people in the Heart Pavilion.
She was just about to kneel on the ground, but Gonggong Li helped her up, looked at the group of little fathers-in-law sitting and resting in the distance, and told Zhinan that the conversation between the two of them should not be too obvious. In this huge imperial city, there are really walls and ears.
Zhinan had no choice but to thank Gonggong Li briefly, and then said, "Gonggong Li told such a sincere and touching story today, and I also told Gonggong Li the truth, I can come today with this big box of clothes, I really want to stay in the palace." But forget it about being the emperor's woman, I've been wandering in the Heart Pavilion for so many years, and now the most disgusting thing is a man. My original intention was to beg Concubine Mu to accept me and let me be a handmaiden, after all, Concubine Mu likes my craft. ”
Gonggong Li saw that Zhinan was relieved, couldn't help but smile, and said to her, "I see that you girl, the purpose of bringing so many things into the palace today is not pure. But why do you want to come to the palace to be a maid, didn't Princess Xuan spend a lot of money to redeem you from the Condensing Heart Pavilion at that time? Why didn't the Xuanwang Mansion go well? Then Princess Xuan treats you badly? ”
Zhinan shook his head and sighed. She thought to herself, she really couldn't stand Father-in-law Li. He was so honest with himself, and he dared to secretly talk to him about the former queen in the palace, and it was not difficult for her to guess that the person who did it to the former queen was the current queen mother.
In this palace, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and whoever has the last laugh is the winner. And his task is to help his wife and her sister.
She said to Gonggong Li, "Although I am very grateful to Princess Xuan for redeeming me. But you can call me ruthless and unrighteous, or call me unkind. At that time, the matter of redeeming me was not known to everyone, Princess Xuan disguised herself as a man the day before yesterday to play in the Ningxin Pavilion, and clicked on my first card to swim in the lake together, and said that she wanted to redeem me. ”
Gonggong Li raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Gu Muqing to always look innocent, and he didn't expect there to be such an unsightly side behind his back.
Zhinan then said to Gonggong Li, "I really stayed enough in the Ningxin Pavilion at that time, I had already saved up the money to redeem myself, but who knew that the Ningxin Pavilion was reluctant to do things, and secretly tied me back to the pavilion in the middle of the night." I was out of her heart, and I didn't care about 3721, so I agreed to Princess Xuan's request to redeem me. ”
"I think the princess wants to redeem me because she thinks she has a good face, the Oiran that every man in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty flocks to, was taken away by her and passed on many holy names. When I returned to the house, I picked up some rough work for me to do, and if I was a little unwilling, I would threaten me with the thing she had redeemed me back then, and said that everyone wanted to know that the dignified Oiran of the Ningxin Pavilion was now pouring a night pot for people in other people's houses. Zhinan racked his brains and wanted to make his story miserable and annoying.
She pretended to wipe away the tears that didn't come out, and said to Gonggong Li in front of her, "I have spent the past few years under her majesty, and I have a completely different treatment from the Chunyu you said. The things that Chunyu promised to Mr. Andre should be known to everyone, and I can't touch men, and I can't get close to the guards in King Xuan's mansion. If my wife wants to wear new clothes, I must prepare them and deliver them to the bedside the next morning, and if I don't deliver them, I won't be allowed to eat for a day. ”
She touched the scars on her face, raised her pitiful eyes and looked at Gonggong Li, "Look at this scar on my face, it is because Mrs. taught me, I was afraid for a while, and accidentally broke the vase in my hand, Mrs. picked up the debris on the ground and scratched it off my face, and rewarded me with several slaps." Although she called me at first, she never treated me like this. ”
"Madame thinks that it was Mu Guifei Niangniang who made her lose her child, and when Mu Guifei had not entered the palace before, she lived in Xuanwang's Mansion for a few days, and she especially liked my craftsmanship. The two of us have also had a long talk, and our relationship is a little better. Maybe my wife is in a bad mood because she lost her child, and she is angry when she sees that I have been making clothes again recently. She said that when she saw the clothes in my hand, it was like seeing her sister who had harmed her, and she wanted to kill me. ”
Zhinan breathed a sigh of relief, and told these miserable stories that he didn't know how he made up to Gonggong Li. She secretly looked at Grandpa Li's reaction, she was afraid that Grandpa Li, who had read countless people, would be able to hear the flaws in his story.
may be because Zhinan looks too much like Gonggong Li's deceased, Gonggong Li listened to this story, and he just felt resentful for Zhinan and upset for Zhinan.
He took Zhinan's hand and said, "Miss Zhinan, you and I have said so much today, why don't I accept you as a righteous daughter, what do you think?" When you come to the palace today, you must have already thought of a plan to stay in the palace, if you want to be a maid by Concubine Mu's side, I won't stop you, I will take you over later, you can do what you want to do, say what you want to say. I will definitely support you with all my might. ”
