Chapter 13 When the crimson flowers are hidden outside the threshold

At the beginning of the palace lamp, there was a rare silence in the Rouyi Palace, and the eldest princess of Nanping, who was originally learning characters, was lying on the desk at the moment, sleeping soundly.

Tong Rou on the side was grinding ink on her hands, and she was looking at the candle flame in a daze.

The inkstone is a hand-copied inkstone, the color is like purple snow, delicate as a grease paste, and there are lines of ancient pine cloud scales. The ink is tung smoke ink, and the pattern is like rhino black like lacquer.

In the past, she couldn't move her steps just by seeing these things in the shop, and it would be good to take a closer look. But right now, she is confused, and she doesn't know that the ink is splashing on the back of her hand.

It has been a while since she entered the palace inexplicably, and the palace rules are strict, even if she has told the eldest princess that she still has her own family outside, she can't go out. For such a long time, I don't know what my father and sister should be in a hurry......

Hearing the footsteps of Sisuo, Tong Rou turned her mind and looked up, the inner eunuch and the palace maid who had been standing in the hall were gone, and one person was walking inside, and soon arrived in front of her.

"Gong ...... Childe ......," she said.

When I met him in the palace, Tong Rou didn't think about his identity clearly. Now that I saw him drive straight into this Rouyi Palace, I realized that this son was afraid that he had a more unusual identity......

Zhu Yunwen signaled her not to make a sound, took a blanket on the side and covered Nanping on her body, and then whispered, "Come with me." ”

Kirorou got up and followed him to the garden behind him, where the night was beginning to fall, and the pomegranate blossoms hung down among the branches.

She remembered that when she was a child, her mother put herself on her lap, put her arms around her, and whispered:

Ye Ye is brilliant, and the flowers are incomparably square. Yan Yaoyi small courtyard, short called low corridor......

Zhu Yunwen stood in front of the flower tree, his mind in turmoil.

Huailai was lost, Song Zhong, Yu Yao, Peng Ju, and Sun Tai were all killed, and 30,000 elite soldiers were captured and killed......

Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, was appointed as the general, Li Jian, the commander of the capital, was the left deputy general, and Ning Zhong, the governor of the capital, was the right deputy general, leading an army of 130,000 to attack Yan, and several roads were marched into Yan. At the same time, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi provinces were sent to supply military salaries......

The two of them had their own thoughts for a while, but neither of them spoke.

"If it's ......" Zhu Yunwen suddenly spoke, "What should people close to them look at each other, so that they meet each other." ”

Tong Rou was stunned, "Tong Rou can't think of a day when she and her sister will turn against each other, even if there is a dispute, my sister always lets me." Don't say the opposite, it's a grievance, Tongrou has never had a ......"

Seeing the pain in his expression, she stopped, "Presumably, it should be their helplessness to have this situation......"

"Each ...... helpless," he was a little stunned.

After a gust of wind, there was a coolness, and for a while, the pomegranate blossoms fell one after another, paving the ground.

"It was originally a mountain thing, but now it is a brick." He blurted out, but Tongrou listened to it but her heart moved.

This sentence is exactly the one she remembered just now, and her mother read it to herself. The two of them were facing this tree, and he wanted to go to one place.

Sensing her silence, Zhu Yunwen turned his head. She was wearing a summer palace dress, a light pink dress and a crescent white skirt. There is no flattery or deference of ordinary palace people on his face, reflecting the color of pomegranate flowers, happy and sad for a while.

She suddenly turned her eyes to look at him, and saluted jerkily, "I had no intention of entering the palace, and I hoped that His Majesty would allow me to leave the palace." ”

His eyes darkened, "One by one, they all left...... I'm the only one left. It's okay to leave, but I still have to force me to pick up a sword and fight against my relatives. Why? Did I do something wrong? ”

Tong Rou saw the sudden change in his complexion, and panicked for a while. It's not that he finally knows that he is really the saint today, but the look on his eyes is sad, helpless, and worried.

She never thought that such a look would appear on the face of the king of a country. Shouldn't it be the demeanor of Hess's mighty dragon and swallow jaw in the mouth of the female gentleman? The magnanimity of clearing thousands of miles and eight wildernesses?

Tong Rou didn't think much about it, stepped forward, stroked his back with one hand, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not your fault, it's all going to get better......"

If she is wronged, or when she misses her mother, her sister comforts herself like this.

Zhu Yunwen gradually calmed down and gradually saw her actions clearly.

She cushioned her feet slightly, stroked her back, and coaxed herself.

Fang was angry for a moment, and although he was no longer there, for the first time, he felt relaxed and peaceful, and he was unwilling to avoid her. It felt strange, but it was good.

For as long as he can remember, no one has been so close to him, and the palace maids and chamberlains who take care of their daily lives are in awe, even if they are the queen mother, they are concubines......

"How is Nanping treating you?" He asked suddenly.

Tong Rou hurriedly withdrew her hand, "The eldest princess treats me very well, but I don't know why I suddenly entered the palace, and my father and sister at home don't know about it, so I must be very worried." And I don't know the rules of the palace, so I will only cause trouble for the eldest princess......"

"Your mother died young, and your father was a bell doctor, and he traveled all year round. There is also an eldest sister who picks and sells lake fresh, helps the family and takes care of you for your education. You don't live in the Pearl River, but in the lake between Longguang Mountain and Baozhou Mountain. I met you that day, and it was your sister who took you to pick lotus pods in the back lake. He said slowly, his eyes falling on the pomegranate flowers.

His voice is very good, but at this moment, in Tongrou's ears, it is like a basin of ice water coming down. She wanted to kneel down as soon as her legs were weak, but he was holding her hand and couldn't kneel.

"I ...... I ......" Tongrou was disillusioned for a while, never thought that this son of heaven had found out the family so clearly, and even his sister had stolen into the forbidden lake with him. That's enough to put the whole family on the ground......

"It's all my fault, it's not my dad and my sister's business. Tong Rou is willing to be punished alone......" Her face was pale, but her tone was very firm.

"Yes, it will be punished." He said lightly, "So you can't go out yet, you need to work in this palace......"

"Yes!" She interrupted him, completely ignoring the etiquette and rules, "You can do anything, as long as you don't bother your father and sister......

"I've already sent someone......" he interrupted her.

Tongrou was stunned, and tears were about to roll down.

He frowned slightly, "Did I say what I wanted to do with them?" I just told your father that you have served as a female official in the palace, and now you can receive a monthly salary, but you can't leave the palace at will. ”

She immediately burst into tears and pulled his sleeve, "Really?!" Thank you, ...... Your Majesty ......" reacted for a while, and he was afraid that he was breaking the rules like this, and he hurriedly let go.

"It's just ......," she suddenly thought of something, "can I send Yu Lu to my father outside the palace?" He's old now, I want to ......"

Zhu Yunwen looked at her crying and laughing, thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that you have a little bit of a fortune by Nanping's side." If you want to earn more, you have to work harder......"

"You can work hard!" Tong Rou rolled up her sleeves, "Where are you going to get the most?" ”

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but laugh, "Wenhua Hall just happened to be short of manpower, and it was quite good." ”

"Mandarin Palace? The female gentleman said that it was the place of the scripture feast, and it was the Holy Edict that the Confucians preached the Five Classics in the hall, and the six Shangshu, the left and right imperial history, the general political history, the Dali Temple and the bachelors and other attendants. From the Hanlin Academy and the Guozi Priest's Wine, the lecturer was selected, as well as the exhibition and book coverer. ”

Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised, "Oh? Do you know all this? ”

"Someone in the female gentleman's family is an official in the Hanlin Academy, and he said that he had heard about it, so I wrote it down" Tongrou'......s face was a little red, she had a very good memory since she was a child, but anyone who has seen and heard it will never forget it.

"That's right," she suddenly said excitedly: "After speaking, salute, and order to go to Zuo Shunmen to give wine and food." Is this true? Still have food to eat? ”

Zhu Yunwen said solemnly: "Wine and rice are given to the officials of the banquet, if you go to eat, you will be deducted from the ......."

She hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, no, I don't eat, when can I go to Wenhua Palace?" ”
