Chapter Seventy-Three: Gossip

Zhao Xuan looked at the woman kneeling in front of him, and wondered, "What are you doing?" It's cold on the ground, get up"

As he spoke, he reached out to help her.

Hua Qingrao suddenly kowtowed and said loudly: "Qingrao is disobedient to the emperor's grace, please punish everyone!" ”

Zhao Xuan was stunned, and his hand that wanted to help her was frozen in mid-air. He came back to his senses, put his hand behind his back, and asked, "How did you recognize my identity?" ”

Hua Qingrao hung her head and said solemnly: "Everyone is a true dragon emperor, wise and powerful, and magnificent, naturally different from ordinary people. ”

Zhao Xuan was used to hearing courtiers and chamberlains say this kind of flattering words on weekdays, and he was very tired of it. But looking at the woman in front of her who said this with a serious face, she felt that she was inexplicably a little cute, and these words sounded much more pleasant.

But he still deliberately pretended to be serious, "I want to listen to your truth." ”

Hua Qingrao was stunned at first, and said in an orderly low voice: "The news of everyone's night visit to Zhen'anfang has spread in Jingshi, and Qingrao also learned that Zhao Gongzi is everyone. ”

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, no wonder he saw that the originally somewhat dilapidated house had become a lot more magnificent as soon as he came today, and even Grandma Li, who had been whispering frequently by his side before, was a little trembling and speechless when he saw him.

"The so-called ignorant is not guilty, I will not punish you, and I will not punish Grandma Li. So get up. ”

Hua Qingrao said gratefully: "Qingrao thanks everyone for their grace of not punishing. She paused for a moment and continued: "But Qingrao has another request, I implore everyone to grant it. ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Zhao Xuan's eyes, and he stared at her scrutinically: "You said that it is, within the scope of my ability, I will respond." ”

"Everyone forgives Qingrao and grandma for their sins because they love Qingrao in their hearts. This kindness, Qing Rao has nothing to repay, and she can't wait to be a slave and a maid to repay everyone's imperial kindness. Hua Qingrao sobbed and fell to the ground again. But Qing Rao's posture and humble status make her unable to serve everyone. Please don't come back to look for Qingrao in the future. ”

Zhao Xuan didn't expect her to suddenly say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment, then relieved, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. "What do you mean?"

Hua Qingrao's voice trembled slightly, "Qingrao didn't mean to disobey everyone. ”

She hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that everyone is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and Qingrao's status is lowly, and she thinks that being able to serve everyone is a blessing that she cultivated in her previous life." But now the news of everyone's night visit to Qingrao has spread in Beijing. Qingrao could not let her unclean reputation tarnish the name of virtue of everyone. I implore everyone not to have a relationship with Qing Rao again, otherwise Qing Rao's crime will not be a pity to die! ”

Zhao Xuan's eyes sank, leaned down and picked her chin with his fingers, lifting her drooping face. looked at her crying face, and said slowly: "I only ask you, do you really want me to come again?" ”

Hua Qingrao frowned, forcibly stopped the tears that were about to slip from her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly: "QingraoΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β· Qing RaoΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Zhao Xuan said softly: "If you say yes, then I will listen to you, and I will never step into this door from now on." ”

Zhao Xuan looked at her with a panicked look on his face, and his eyes began to dodge, not daring to look at his own eyes. He snapped, "Look at me! Tell me! ”

Hua Qingrao looked at Zhao Xuan's gloomy eyes, and the tears in her eyes flowed down like a broken thread. "Yes."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she threw herself into Zhao Xuan's arms, and wrapped her hands tightly around his waist, "Qingrao knows that she is low, but she falls in love with someone she shouldn't love." I knew that I should let him go, but I just wanted to hold on to him tightly. Qingrao is just a weak woman with a shallow mind. I also ask everyone to tell Qing Rao, what should Qing Rao do now? ”

Zhao Xuan felt a burst of heat in his chest, and naturally understood in his heart that these were her tears of grievance, and suddenly looked down at her with a little tenderness in his eyes.

He hugged him back with one hand and ** her hair with the other, "Then take back that sentence, hold on tightly, and don't let go." ”

Hua Qingrao frowned and raised her head from his arms, "But what about those gossips?" ”

Zhao Xuan pointed his finger to her cheek, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. "I'll deal with it, not only will I handle this matter, but I'll give you a proper name."

The tears in Hua Qingrao's eyes fell uncontrollably again, her hand covered Zhao Xuan's hand, and she said softly: "Qingrao will definitely serve everyone well in the future." ”

The green bamboo outside the window is still gently swaying with the breeze, and the chirping of birds can be heard from time to time!

In the Yongshou Palace, a woman with delicate makeup and gorgeous clothes was asking the palace maid standing next to her: "What you said is true?!" ”

The palace maid looked at her master's appearance, and she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, this is what Qi Shou who is following everyone around, it should be true." ”

The woman in the costume clenched her fists, her sharp nails pierced into the flesh, she didn't care, gritted her teeth and said, "How can you bring a Qinglou geisha into the palace!" ”

She sank her eyes and said in a cold voice: "Baoqin, you quickly find someone to go out of the palace and explain this matter to my father." Let him go to court tomorrow, and jointly oppose this matter, and must not let that Qinglou geisha enter the palace! ”

As she spoke, her hand slapped against the table.

Baoqin nodded in response, turned around and just walked to the door of the hall, when he saw Yuan Lu, the attendant beside Zhao Xuan, walking towards here. She hurriedly stopped, saluted him, and said, "Baoqin has seen the chamberlain. ”

She raised her head and smiled sweetly: "My lord, are you here to help you pass on the message to Concubine Xian?" ”

"The girl is really delicate and smart, no wonder she is a celebrity next to Concubine Xian!" Yuan Lu looked at Baoqin with a smile on his face, and asked, "Can Concubine Xian Niangniang be in the house?" ”

Bao Qin nodded in response, "Here, come with me." ”

Yuan Lu was led into Concubine Zhang Xian's house by Baoqin, and when he saw Concubine Zhang Xian, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The little Yuan Lu is seeing Concubine Xian's mother." ”

Concubine Zhang Xian supported her head with one hand, and waved her other hand at him casually, and said lazily: "Get up." ”

Yuan Lu patted his sleeves and stood up, and said with a smile on his face: "Concubine Xian, everyone's going to eat at Niangniang's place today, and I specially asked the little one to tell Niangniang." ”

When Concubine Zhang Xian heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "There is Lord Laonei." ”

Yuan Lu hurriedly said: "Niangniang, are you laughing, no one in this palace knows that Niangniang is the person on the tip of everyone's hearts, and it is also a small blessing to be able to do things for Niangniang." ”

Concubine Zhang Xian was very useful by these words, raised her hand and pointed at Yuan Lu and said, "You are clever!" She turned her head and called, "Baoqin! ”

Baoqin immediately understood, took a bag of silver, walked to Yuanlu's side, and stuffed it into Yuanlu's hand. "Lord Chamberlain, this is a piece of the mind of Concubine Xian."

Yuan Lu flipped the purse in his hand and immediately smiled even deeper. It is said that this virtuous concubine is generously rewarded, and now it is true at first sight. "Little Xie Niangniang's reward."

Concubine Zhang Xian returned to her original lazy appearance, waved her hand casually and said, "Go down." ”
