Two days later, when the first snow fell in Beijing, news came from the palace, saying that the eighth princess invited Princess Rong to enter the palace.

At that time, Lin Ruozheng was in the study with Murong Chong, cooking plum blossom wine while marching on the sand table.

"It seems that Xijiao has already decided." Lin Ruo put down the small flag in his hand, looked at Murong Chong, and said, "Lord Wang, then I will enter the palace to see Xijiao." ”

Murong Chong nodded: "It's cold outside, be careful not to freeze." ”

Lin Ruo responded with a smile: "I know." ”

Holding a stove in his arms, wearing a thick coat outside, and sitting in the carriage with a small carbon stove, Lin Ruo took Zhuxuan into the palace and went straight to Xiyao's bedroom.

"Fourth sister-in-law, you're here."

Xi Jiao's face was with a shallow smile.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and Xijiao's whole person seems to have changed, losing a lot of weight, but more importantly, she looks a little more mature and stable.

But this mature and steady appearance made Lin Ruo very distressed.

"Mei makeup, you go make a pot of tea. Looking for summer, go to the small kitchen to see the white fungus lotus seed soup in the palace, "Xi Ji calmly arranged the maidservant, "The palace has some considerate words, I want to tell the fourth sister-in-law, you don't have to wait in front of you, go down." ”

"Yes."

The palace people bowed and bowed, and retreated neatly outside.

Zhu Xuan glanced at her master, and saw that she whispered, "You go and help Mei Makeup make tea together", so she also retreated with the palace people.

Lin Ruo sat next to Xijiao, took her hand, and asked softly, "Figured it out?" ”

There is no polite hush and warmth, and there is no hypocrisy in disguise. Xi Ji thought that this might be the reason why she felt close to Lin Ruo. Because she really cares, she avoids these alienated politeness, and all the words are out of her heart, leaving the choice in her hands, waiting for her to think clearly and figure it out.

As for the final result, it may not be what the other party originally expected, but the other party will still fully support it.

"Hmm," Hee-Ji nodded, "I've figured it out." ”

With that, Xijiao opened the soft collapse and took out the wooden box hidden underneath. Inside, there were the talismans that Lin Ruo had prepared for her to leave the palace and the city, as well as the carefully drawn escape route.

Xi Jiao put the wooden box on her knees, tightened her hands holding the two corners slightly, and then, looking up, looked at Lin Ruo, and said firmly: "Fourth sister-in-law, I want to be with Yuanzhi......"

Lin Ruo looked at Xi Ji silently for a long time, pursed her lips, nodded with a smile, and said, "I know." I will help you arrange the route, and as for the place to stay, I will also help you settle it, so that you will not suffer more, servants and maids......"

Xijiao listened to Lin Ruoxu's words, and did not see any displeasure in Lin Ruo's eyes, just as she promised, no matter how she chose, she would help herself: if she chose to fly high and far away, she would arrange everything; If you marry Luo Zhe according to the order, I will send you to the wedding sedan chair.

"Fourth sister-in-law......" Xijiao couldn't help but reddened her eyes, interrupted Lin Ruo's words, and crashed into Lin Ruo's arms.

"Why are you crying?" Lin Ruo pinched Xijiao's face and said with a smile, "I know, you have made a lot of determination, and after leaving the palace, you will also suffer a lot, don't worry, I will try my best to help you make arrangements, and I won't let you suffer ......."

"Fourth sister-in-law, I, you misunderstood what I meant."

After that, Xijiao pushed the box to Lin Ruo's side.

"Misunderstanding?"

Lin Ruo looked at Xijiao in a daze, then turned his gaze to the wooden box on his lap, looked at Xijiao in confusion, and blinked.

Xijiao took a deep breath and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, what I want to say is that I want to be with Yuanzhi, but I can't be with him. In the past few days, I have carefully thought about what you said, you are right, two people together, in the end, it is all kinds of trivialities in life, I think too beautifully. ”

Lin Ruo didn't make a sound, and listened quietly to her words.

"I don't know what it's like between couples in ordinary people's homes, so I asked Mei Makeup and Xun Xia about their life experiences before entering the palace. Mei makeup was bought by traffickers since she was a child, and she was lucky enough to enter the palace; Xunxia's family, both parents are there, but in addition to her, there are six sisters and a younger brother in the family, all seven of their sisters have been sold into slavery, only the younger brother stayed under his parents' knees to grow up, running for a living, but her younger brother is not a competitive person, but he still likes to cause trouble everywhere and mix ...... everywhere"

"Don't talk about them, let's talk about the queen mother, the queen mother is the queen, and she can be said to be the most noble person in the world, right? However, even if it is like the queen mother, she must stick to the middle palace and worry about everything in the harem. The same is true for the crown princess, the second brother of the crown prince's side concubine is not a fuel-efficient lamp. But even if it is worry-free, like Concubine Xian Niangniang, who has no quarrel with others, the queen mother must be well settled, and the steward of the internal affairs office will always come to return to the queen mother; Day after day, it is nothing more than to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, wait for the concubines to come to greet him, and preside over various affairs in the palace...... "Xi Yao pouted," and the three emperor sisters, who fell in love with Tang Juma at first sight, but now, although the Yingge Yan Dance around Tang Juma has almost been rushed, and people look haggard a lot, but the relationship with Tang Juma when they first met has long become a thing of the past. ”

Hearing Xi Ji say so many words, Lin Ruo was a little surprised. She just hoped that Xijiao would be quiet and think about whether she could bear the consequences of eloping with Du Zhen, and whether she could adapt to the hard life of having to bow down to everything, but she didn't expect Xijiao to be able to think so thoroughly.

Xijiao saw Lin Ruo's somewhat unexpected expression, and said a little shyly: "Yesterday, the third emperor sister entered the palace and said a lot of things with me, otherwise, I wouldn't have figured it out so quickly." ”

Lin Ruo nodded and hooked the corners of his mouth knowingly.

Yes, what could be more profound than experiencing it and witnessing it with your own eyes?

Tang Yun is Chunyi's own choice of horses, he is still the son of the Ministry of Shangshu, he is a talent for exploring flowers, and he was also a model of a pair of lovers who were happy and enviable at the beginning, but now, it has only been a few years? Those storms and snows are long gone. When two people are together, after all, they live day by day, like people drinking water, knowing their own warmth and coldness.

Xijiao was afraid, she was afraid that she would abandon all the switches, and it would be a mirror after all; She was afraid that she would regret it, and she was afraid that Du Zhen would hate her and resent her, and she would not be able to show her talent for revenge.

It's been a month of tossing, and I've finally figured it out.

"Fourth sister-in-law, these will be returned to you, I will follow my father's will and marry Luo Zhe. But......" Hee-Ji pursed her lips and forced herself to laugh, "Yuanzhi is really talented and ambitious, and he shouldn't be buried namelessly." Can you ...... Help him find a good place to go? Just think of it as ...... My last hope. ”

"Okay." Lin Ruo nodded, "I will tell your fourth brother to ask him to help and give Du Yuanzhimou a good official position suitable for him to exert his strengths." "Hundred Plating" The latest chapter of "Female Businesswoman Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
