Chapter 46: The Visitation

He Xi raised a smile and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did you come in such a hurry, Your Majesty has punished me to think about it behind closed doors now, although I didn't say that I was not allowed to visit, but if you come here like this, I am afraid that it will make Your Majesty and the Queen Mother unhappy." ”

The breath was still weak, and her voice was much softer than usual, Xu Qing'er's eyes flashed a trace of distress, and she hurriedly took two steps forward and said: "Sister, don't worry about this, I came to ask Your Majesty for instructions this time, the queen mother is too ruthless this time, I have heard what the imperial doctor said, if I continue to fight, I am afraid that people will be wasted." ”

He Xi's smile was still shallow, as if he saw that the sky outside was very good, so he pushed open the window, and the wind outside was soft and weak, blowing the beaded curtains, as if he was not in the world.

"Don't talk about me, I heard that Your Majesty gave you grace and let your mother enter the palace?" He Xi diverted the topic, and as soon as Xu Qing'er talked about it, the smile in her eyes couldn't stop.

"Your Majesty's grace, it's just that my mother went to Zhaohua Temple, and I think I will be able to come back in a few days." He Xi stared carefully at the joy on Xu Qing'er's face, and didn't want to let go of a single penny, if A-Niang was there, if A-Niang was still there......

A trace of pain flashed in her heart, sweeping her whole body, she wanted to curl up in pain, the heat in her eyes was like karmic fire, she hurriedly lowered her head, Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, our little master ......"

Her face was a little embarrassed, Xu Qing'er was also interested, she sighed slowly, and said, "Sister has suffered a big crime this time, but fortunately, Your Majesty is also fair." Okay, Ruyi, you take good care of Sister Xi, and this palace will not disturb Sister Xi's rest. ”

With that, he turned around and left with the pothos. The two walked out of the Hehuan Palace, and the green pothos quietly looked back at the still somewhat dilapidated palace gate of the Hehuan Hall and said, "Niangniang, do you say that Your Majesty favors the little master of Xi Concubine or not?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Qing'er cautiously walked over the steep stone steps in front of her and returned unintentionally.

The light in the green pothos eyes flickered, as if he was considering the words, and only after a while did he say: "If you want to say that Your Majesty favors the little master of Xi Concubine, this Hehuan Hall is too shabby, if you don't love ......"

Xu Qing'er glanced at the pothos, and the pothos immediately lowered her head in a panic, but this time Xu Qing'er did not reprimand, but said: "Your Majesty must have Your Majesty's reason to do things." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the Imperial Garden.

Three days later, on the day when Mrs. Xu entered the palace, Xu Qing'er kept urging the pothos to go out to find out if Mrs. Xu had entered the palace since breakfast.

The faces of the Bingquan Palace were full of joy, and the green pothos was even more disgusted: "My good mother, you have let me go out to see four times this morning, and the palace door has only been opened. ”

Xu Qing'er said with the attitude of a little daughter on her face: "I entered the palace from the main palace, I haven't seen my mother for a few months, I don't know if my mother misses this palace." ”

The little palace maids in the hall all laughed stupidly, and the room was full of warblers, so lively.

At the end of the hour, the pothos went out to take a look, and came back briskly and said, "Come, Niangniang, Madame has already passed the Imperial Garden!" ”

Xu Qing'er got up from the chair suddenly, and walked outside without saying anything, Xu is walking in a hurry, the long pale pink gold thread flowing cloud brocade skirt dragged on the ground, almost floating over the high threshold, brisk as if thinking.

"Mother, hide it." Pothos reminded with a smile.

However, where can Xu Qing'er listen to these now, like a bird out of a cage.

Finally at the gate of the palace, Xu Qing'er stopped, her eyes turned red, and opposite her was a middle-aged woman wearing a real red stone Qingfu pattern skirt, about thirty or forty years old, but she was extremely well maintained, and her eyebrows and eyes were faintly similar to Xu Qing'er.

At this time, a pair of beautiful eyes also contained tears, the two looked at each other, even if they didn't say a word, they still moved people's hearts when they saw it, and the pothos stood aside and quietly tried the corner of the eye.

Mrs. Xu first looked at Xu Qing'er carefully, and when she saw that she was extravagant, she knew that the rumors were true, and she was relieved, so she hurriedly leaned down and said softly: "The courtiers see the lady concubine, the lady Jin'an." ”

Xu Qing'er seemed to want to step forward to stop it, but she only took two steps forward before she paused stiffly.

After all, now that she is one of the four concubines, even if she doesn't want to, she still has to abide by the rules of the palace. Forcibly accepted Mrs. Xu's gift, only a few steps forward, helped Mrs. Xu, as if she had been in Xu's mansion, affectionately held Mrs. Xu's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mother really makes Qing'er wait." ”

Mrs. Xu has always understood Xu Qing'er's temperament, she gently and gently took Xu Qing'er's hand in her hand, and said with a smile: "Now that she is Your Majesty's concubine, why are you still so impetuous?" Although it was a critical word, the tone was not the slightest harsh, more like a stranger.

After the two finished speaking, they laughed, full of warmth. The green pothos was also happy, and said to Mrs. Xu with a smile: "On weekdays, the mother is calm and proper, and today Xu is happy to see Mrs. Xu." Niangniang and Madame go back to the palace quickly, this is not the place to talk. Xu Qing'er nodded, and several people laughed all the way back to the Ice Spring Palace.

As soon as she arrived at the Bingquan Palace, Xu Qing'er hurriedly asked the green pothos to bring over the fragrant tea and peach crisp prepared before, and said with a smile: "Why did my mother go to Zhaohua Temple first this time?" ”

Mrs. Xu looked around, the green pothos understood, and quickly sent away the surrounding palace people, just a moment of effort, there were already confidants left in the palace, seeing Mrs. Xu like this, Xu Qing'er couldn't help but look slightly and said: "Mother, what did you do, so mysterious?" ”

Mrs. Xu smiled without saying a word, and took out a thing wrapped in red silk from her cuff, which was carefully wrapped and carefully opened, and finally turned out to be a golden rune paper with obscure runes depicted on it.

Xu Qing'er took it from Xu's mother's hand and said suspiciously: "This is?" Mrs. Xu smiled lovingly: "Do you think that my mother doesn't want to come to the palace to see you earlier?" Mother heard that the Zhaohua Temple's Goddess of Mercy is extremely effective, thinking that you are now in the palace, if there is a little prince or princess by your side, your mother will be at ease. ”

When Xu Qing'er saw Mrs. Xu mention such words, she couldn't help but have two red glows flying on her pretty face, which complemented the pink clothes on her body even more.

She lowered her head a little shyly and said, "Mother, I've only been in the palace for a few months, and it's still too early to say." That being said, his hand gripped the red silk cloth tightly.

Mrs. Xu smiled softly and looked at Xu Qing'er with satisfaction, Xu Qing'er was a little cramped and uneasy by Mrs. Xu, and said softly: "Mother always looks at Qing'er like this when she comes this time." ”

Mrs. Xu sighed: "I just sighed, the little girl who used to be pampered in the house like that is now behaving in a certain way." Your father and I can rest assured that you are like this. Xu Qing'er felt a trace of warmth in her heart, and said after a while: "Father and mother don't worry about me, Your Majesty is very good to me, but my father is cold and upright, although he is now in a high position, but there are always His Majesty and Prime Minister Lan Cheng above, and you should be careful when you act." ”

Mrs. Xu also knows that no matter how much she says that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the former dynasty and the harem are inseparable after all, just like this time it is because of her husband's meritorious service that Xu Qing'er can have her current position, and she can also get grace to visit her in the palace.

He nodded cautiously and said, "I will talk to your father about this matter." In fact, Xu Qing'er doesn't know much about court disputes, but it's always not wrong to be cautious, the two gossiped for a while, and Mrs. Xu accompanied Xu Qing'er for lunch, and it wasn't until the evening that she was sent out of the palace by the pothos.

Xu Qing'er felt a little lost in her heart, taking advantage of the dim sky, she wandered around to relax, and because of the boredom in her heart, she deliberately found a quiet and remote place.

But she didn't want to think about her heart, she didn't pay attention, she arrived at a remote palace, she was a little flustered, but she blamed herself for praising herself for being much calmer today, and she was beaten back to her original shape as soon as she turned around, she pouted her pink cherry lips, and only found a clean stone step to sit down, just waiting for the pothos to find herself.

But I don't want to sit down and hear the sound of clothes rustling behind your rockery. In this quiet place, it was very abrupt, Xu Qing'er's heart was cold, and her breathing was a little lighter, for fear that someone would accidentally disturb the people behind her.

In just a moment, Xu Qing'er heard a coquettish voice coming from behind, and the listener's face was red. Xu Qing'er sat in place like a lightning strike, she didn't leave, she didn't stay, she just stayed in place like a puppet, at a loss.

Fortunately, the two people behind him didn't last long, their voices gradually lowered, and while they were getting dressed, Xu Qing'er tiptoed to hide in a hidden place, only to hear the woman's delicate voice: "Be careful of being seen by others." ”

The other person's voice was quite delicate, but at this time, he also lowered his voice and said hoarsely: "You can rest assured, I have been observing this place for a long time, and no one will come at all." ”

The two of them whispered for a long time before the woman said, "It's not too early, the little master is still waiting for me to go back to serve, you should go back quickly, don't forget what I told you." ”

The other man's tone was still frivolous, and his voice rose slightly: "What if I forget? ”

The woman said arrogantly, "If you forget, you won't come to me again." But the voice is coquettish, obviously coquettish.

Another voice chuckled and said, "You are my favorite, I won't come to you to find anyone, don't worry, I'll bring you in next time I'm on duty." ”
