In the crowd, a group of people and horses came to the front of the stage quickly with a small sedan chair, only to see the eyes of the surnamed Wang shining, and excitedly rushed to the front of the team in front of a man who looked like an official, and shouted: "Uncle ......" but he didn't want to be looked at by anyone, and came to me and Baoyuan while wiping the sweat on his head with his sleeves.

He looked at Bao Yuan a little at a loss, turned to me and said, "Miss Xu, I am this Qingcheng County Order, I have a friendship with my brother, Ling Zun is even more ......" The preface is not right, and the latter does not know what to say, at this moment, Ling Xuan walked out from the back of the team and said to Bao Yuan: "Childe, Lord Xu sent me to invite the Qingcheng County Commander to deal with today's matter." Bao Yuan nodded, stopped looking at everyone, and reached out to help me.

"Uncle, they ......"

"Slap" The Qingcheng County Commander turned around and gave the surname Wang a slap, and scolded in a suppressed voice: "Little rabbit cub, you are blind, you dare to offend the daughter of Lord Xu's family, see how I ......will clean you up when I go back" The surnamed Wang was stunned, covering his face and looking at me uneasily.

"Ling Xuan, come over and see Rui'er, she wasn't feeling well just now." If there was no one beside Bao Yuan, he summoned Ling Xuan to come and see me. Ling Xuan looked at her for a moment and said, "Childe, Miss just stood for a long time and had leg cramps, so you might as well accompany her home." As he spoke, he motioned for the official to carry the bridge over.

I was about to get into the sedan chair, but I saw Chunyan holding Aunt Ji and hurrying behind Uncle Ji. Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji ran to the front of the person and knelt down, begging: "Ladies and gentlemen, my daughter is not sensible, you can let her go." Saying that, Aunt Ji also cried and fell to the ground.

I was about to help the second elder, but when I saw the woman who called Zhiqiu, she stepped forward to help the old couple of the Ji family, and said with a smile: "Are the two of you Ming'er's uncle and aunt?" My young lady has been taking care of her in the past few months, and I am very grateful. ”

"Miss?" Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji looked at me and didn't know why.

"Miss Rui'er is Xu Kuangzhang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, the third lady of Lord Xu's family." Zhiqiu Road.

"Ah" Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji were stunned when they heard this.

"It's all Ming'er, this girl is unconscious," Zhiqiu said and glanced at Ming'er, and said angrily: "Look at how I clean you up when I go back, Miss is temperamental, you will follow the coaxing, and help Miss run away from home." As he spoke, he pushed Ming'er, who had already been stunned, and said, "Don't help Miss get into the sedan chair yet." Ming'er helped me into the sedan chair, looked at me with complicated eyes, and I shook her hand, making a gesture to ask her to be patient.

When the sedan curtain was lowered, I heard Bao Yuan say to Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji, I am his wife who has not passed through the door......

The sedan chair marched forward steadily, through the thin cloth of the sedan window, I could see the white clothes flickering, he rode a horse and walked beside me, his heart seemed to be baked under the dog sun, the palms of his hands were sticky, but the vest was cold and hot for a while, I can't tell what it tasted like. sat stiffly in the sedan chair like this, but listened carefully, but it seemed that there were many people behind him, and he didn't know where he was going.

In the middle of the night, the sedan chair stopped, Zhiqiu opened the curtain to help me down, and in front of me was an inn in the downtown area, "Where's Ming'er?" "I didn't see Ming'er, and I was faintly uneasy.

"Miss Ming'er was accompanied by Master Xie to the Ji family to pick up the girl's belongings, and take care of some things by the way." This is the woman who is called Zhiqiu, her tone is respectful, and her eyelids are lowered.

I looked behind me with my spare eyes, and saw that the Qingcheng County Commander was nodding and talking to Wang Zhaoyuan and the others, Bao Yuan smiled gently, and did not speak. Suddenly, his eyes looked at me, and I hurriedly lowered my head, and followed Zhiqiu into the inn. When the hostess of the inn saw us waiting, she respectfully led us to a delicate room on the second floor, where bathing utensils and clothes were already prepared.

"This is ......" I could no longer hold back the doubts in my heart at this time, I was only forced by the situation to ask questions, but now only I and the woman named Zhiqiu must ask clearly.

"Please take a shower and change your clothes." Zhiqiu reached out and tested the temperature of the water, then turned around and walked over to help me undress.

I was startled and instinctively stepped back, so I calmed down and said, "Don't dare, I'll come by myself." ”

"Girl, don't feel uncomfortable, or you will enter the palace in the future......" Zhiqiu's eyes were quiet, and she didn't stop moving because of my refusal, as if she was doing something natural, and she was like my personal attendant for many years.

In the current situation, it seems that it is impossible not to find out. "You're Baoyuan...... Oh, no, did the emperor bring it out of the palace? Then why did you come to Qingcheng Tea Mountain? What's the matter with saying that I'm the daughter of Xufu? I asked, holding her hand to untie my clothes.

"Doesn't the girl understand? It is impossible for the emperor to give up easily. She didn't look at me, turned around and put the petals prepared on the table into the water, and smiled briskly: "The water temperature is just right, and the girl asks the slave maid while bathing." ”

I couldn't resist her, so I had to sit down in the barrel obediently, and the water gently hugged me, which gradually calmed my restless heart.

"I think the girl is a person who understands, and the slave and maid don't go around the bush. I am a palace man next to the emperor named Ye Zhiqiu, and I came here with His Majesty this time for the girl. Zhiqiu gently plucked the water on my body, and her face was quiet: "When the girl bathes and changes clothes, she will go to Lord Xu Kuangzhang's other courtyard in Qingcheng Mountain, and the girl's future identity will be the third lady of Lord Xu's family, and when all matters in the palace are arranged, the emperor will welcome the girl into the palace as a concubine." ”

"I don't want to enter the palace." At this point, although I am grateful to Bao Yuan for making careful arrangements for me, as long as I think of the difficulties and unpredictable pains I will face after being with him, my heart is afraid.

"Destiny is hard to disobey, doesn't the girl still understand to this day?" Zhiqiu looked at me with a smile, as if he had seen some monster. I only heard her say again: "Not to mention that it is not up to the girl to decide whether to enter the palace or not, even if the emperor is willing to follow the girl, can the girl let go of her love for the emperor?" ”

"I ......" was talked about when it hurts, and I was speechless.

"The slave dares to ask the girl, why don't you want to enter the palace to accompany you?" She didn't wait for me to answer, but said to herself: "If the slave maid guessed correctly, the girl must be worried about the queen mother and other concubines in the harem?" Or are you afraid of the impermanence of your grace? More likely to worry about being alone in the palace and at the mercy of others? ”

"Aunt Ye, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the predicament is much clearer than that of me, an outsider. You're right, no matter what the situation is, it's a mortal threat to Rui'er, so I don't want to do it. Seeing her so honest, I had nothing to worry about, and told her everything from the bottom of my heart.

"Girl, let the slave maid say something that doesn't know the height of the sky......" She walked up to me, looked me in the eye and said, "Women always have to live bravely for their hearts once in their lives, don't they?" ”

Live for your heart once! I looked up at this woman with a delicate face and determined eyes, and she ......

"Girl, your performance at the song party can be seen clearly, you have the emperor in your heart, and you love it very much." Zhiqiu's gaze made me feel like I had become a crystal-hearted glass man in front of her.

"I have served by the emperor's side for many years, how he treats the girl, others don't know me but can see it clearly, not to mention anything else, today the emperor because of the girl's eyes disregard the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and his low status is like the Diao people surnamed Wang, the girl Bingxue is smart, do you want the slave to say more?" Zhiqiu said, retracted his gaze, turned around to help me wipe my back, and said: "Cheng and then there are many crises in the palace, and there are many scheming battles between concubines, but one thing remains the same, that is, who is the emperor's heart, who the emperor likes, who is the winner, is the girl so unconfident in herself?" As long as the emperor's heart is in the girl, no one can touch the girl, let alone a concubine, even the queen mother will not dare to touch the girl. ”

I listened quietly, my heart turned nine twists and eighteen turns, Zhiqiu's words fell on my heart like a hammer, I asked myself, do I really dare not live for my heart? The moment I saw Bao Yuan, I saw that my barren heart was full of small flowers in an instant, no matter what kind of environment it is, as long as I have him, I will not be afraid. I know, I have always known that this man I am destined to be entangled with him, even if I refuse and I escape, but my heart has always been flying to him and running to him! In this case, well, I admit it, even if the future is a knife mountain oil pot, an abyss from which there will be no return, I have no fear for him and I have no regrets! Thinking of this, Huo Ran was cheerful in his heart, turned around and held Zhiqiu's hand and said, "Aunt Ye, thank you." Your words are like thunder to wake up the dreamer, and Rui'er knows what to do. ”

Zhiqiu looked at me and sighed with a smile: "The girl is really smart and smart, no wonder the emperor takes such pains for the girl, the slave and maid wish the girl and the emperor a hundred years of good harmony and harmony." ”

My mind has been decided, my body has become infinitely relaxed, and a conversation with Zhiqiu has made me a little closer to her. I let her help me change my clothes and comb my hair, and just after I was dressed up, I heard Bao Yuan knock on the door and say, "Mother Qiu, Rui'er is ready?" ”

Zhiqiu smiled and patted my hands, turned around and opened the door to let Bao Yuan in, then closed the door and withdrew.

I stood stiffly at the table and watched the man I liked walk towards me step by step, as if I had suddenly entered a nest of rabbits, and my heart was flustered.

He has lost weight, but his eyes are still as calm as autumn water, and he will indulge in them after just one glance, and he will never come out again.

"Rui'er, my Rui'er." He took me into his arms, his snort warm in his ears.

I couldn't help but wrap my arms around him and bury my face in his bosom, this was the first time I took the initiative to hug him, and his body tightened, and the arm that hugged me increased its strength. Leaning on his arms like this, my heart has never understood so clearly, this man is what I want, I love, no matter what I will face, I will never leave him, because, I love him!

After a long time, he raised my head, stroked my face, and said gently: "If it weren't for your song "Yue Ren Song" today, I really don't know how long I would have watched you from afar, the queen mother treated you like that, and you fled three or four times, I asked myself if it was difficult for a strong man." As he spoke, there was a hint of worry in his eyes that were as bright as stars.
