599 Did I Fall in Love with That Maid? (Three more to.)
For chasing the emperor, Hongyan was a little hesitant at first, but Cherry was sad all the way from north to south, and she couldn't help it for a long time. As soon as he saw that the master was thinking, he immediately asked Xiao Lingzi to discuss, and packed up for Hongyan in three or two clicks, and the emperor could come back the day after tomorrow at the latest, and he could leave with a small baggage.
But Hongyan didn't let Cherry go to the queen in the end, she was not qualified to do this, if the queen mother wanted to blame afterwards, of course she would bear it herself, why let the queen speak for herself, if Hongli didn't protect her at that time, what could the queen do.
Naturally, Hongyan did not leave the Jiangning Weaving Mansion with great fanfare, and it was not until two or three hours later that the fifteenth elder brother couldn't see his mother crying and couldn't stop crying, and the news gradually spread out, and a few good people such as Concubine Ying came to look, and they really couldn't see Concubine Ling.
They deliberately came to tell the queen mother, saying that the concubine had left a few palace maids to block the door and say something to rest, but even the cherry was not in front of her, and there was no one in the house at all.
The queen mother couldn't stand the provocation, so she immediately sent someone to investigate, and several old grandmothers forcibly broke into Ling Guifei's bedroom, and if she really didn't see anyone, she forced a few little palace maids to get the result, saying that Ling Guifei went to find the emperor and wanted to take Princess Hejia back.
Because the queen mother made a lot of noise, the queen and Concubine Yu and others had to come to deal with it, and the queen mother asked the queen coldly: "According to the rules of the palace, how should this matter be handled, if it is just like that, everyone will go out for a walk when they are happy in the future, and there are no rules in the Forbidden City in the Old Summer Palace, are there any rules at all?" ”
The empress didn't know what was going on at all, but she was already annoyed that she accompanied the emperor to entertain all kinds of people all the way south. I thought I could accompany Qing'er to have a good time, but the child was happy with the brothers, but she could only see her son in three or two days, and she hoped that Wei Hongyan could come to take her place, and now that she heard that she went to find the emperor, the queen was a little happy in her heart.
"What about you? With her every day, you don't know what she thinks in her heart, what is this, the big and small officials in Jiangnan are all watching, the dignified concubine actually went to the emperor privately, where is the majesty of the emperor, where is the dignity of the royal family? The Queen Mother pointed to Concubine Yu and said, "I see that you know, hide it for her, I hope nothing happens to her on the road, otherwise the royal face will be lost to you." ”
Everyone bent their knees to confess, Concubine Ying saw that the Queen Mother was so angry, and scolded each other, only to understand how boring she had done, she quietly hid aside and did not dare to speak, it took a long time for everyone to disperse, the Queen Mother ordered someone to chase Ling Guifei back, and the Queen did not dare to refute, when everyone came out to breathe a sigh of relief, Concubine Shu asked: "Who stabbed the matter to the Queen Mother?" ”
Concubine Ying hid behind people and didn't dare to speak, but Concubine Shu saw her at a glance, and rushed to the front to ask her angrily: "Guess what the Lord will say about you after he knows?" You're really afraid that the world won't be chaotic, let's go back to the capital and count slowly, we're not having a good time, you can be fine? ”
Concubine Yu and Concubine Qing were afraid that Concubine Shu would quarrel with her, so they dragged people away, and someone from the Nalan family followed Suihu south, and Concubine Shu immediately found them and asked them to follow along the way, so that nothing could happen. But at the moment, no one knows which way Hongyan goes, even if the Queen Mother chases her, she may not be able to catch up, and she is not afraid that the Queen Mother will criticize Hongyan, but she is afraid of any danger on the road.
But Hongyan has been in the palace for so many years, it is not difficult to go out like this, she doesn't need the help of people from Fuchafu, and she doesn't need the emperor to send someone to protect her, she naturally has the ability to know where the emperor is, know which way to go, Jiangnan is not a land of tigers and wolves, and in Jiangning, the important place where the imperial court has installed military aircraft and politics, there will never be any danger when going out. It's all the way, and I don't know what the result will be after meeting the emperor.
Hongyan walked in a carriage, not as good as Fo'er and Fulongan galloping all the way, and the departure time was also late, this time only half of the way, the sky was dark, she had Xiao Lingzi and Cherry, and the two captains of the guards who were familiar with each other came to inquire about Hongyan's meaning, and planned to find an inn in front of him to rest, and after a short rest, he hurried all night.
Although it is a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are few people in the suburbs of the city after all, meet a small village on the roadside, there is a simple small teahouse at the entrance of the village, Hongyan said that it is good to rest and avoid the wind, and it is important to hurry. But the two accompanying people were very cautious, they went out in micro-clothes, and they couldn't oppress people with officials, so they took out silver ingots and asked the people in the teahouse to drive the guests away, and there were not many people, but it was easy to deal with. Hongyan asked for a pot of hot tea to warm up, and said that he would leave after half an hour, although it was late, it would be good to meet the emperor before returning to Jiangning.
Although the teahouse is small, there are seven or eight tables, and there are five people in the group at the moment, which looks particularly deserted. Outside, as the night deepened, the wind rose, and Cherry was a little afraid and said: "The slave is really reckless, so I took you out like this, in case something happens, or someone takes advantage of the opportunity, it's really ......."
"We haven't met anyone along the way, have we? It seems that the people live and work in peace and contentment, but in fact, the labor has affected the lives of many locals. Now that she has come out, Hongyan will never regret it, and said, "I'm not afraid of meeting bad people now, I'm afraid that I won't see the emperor......"
When she went out, Hongyan was still cautious, and when she saw the store hiding behind the counter and looking around, she smiled slightly and didn't continue, drank the hot tea in the cup, and said to Cherry: "You also warm up, we'll set off again in a while, and it won't stop." ”
Xiao Lingzi and the guards went to ask the store for candles, and asked the way back, but the shopkeeper spoke Wu Nong's soft language, simple and can communicate, say that it is complicated, the chicken and duck talk, Hongyan and Cherry laughed when they heard it, and called them: "That's it, let's go, the teahouse rarely does business at night, don't delay people to close and rest." ”
Hongyan got up, felt a faint pain in her ankle, and lowered her head and moved a few times, but at this moment, there was a rumble of horses' hooves from a distance, her heart tightened, and the two guards were also nervous.
The store also seemed to be bluffed, lit a lantern and looked at the door, and Xiao Lingzi surrounded the red faces, for fear that someone would break in. The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, as if they were stopping one after another in front of the door, but the store did not come back, but when I saw two officers who looked like people coming in across the knife, they sounded the familiar Beijing accent, and shouted: "All go out, go out." ”
"Brother Zhang!" Seeing that it was an acquaintance, a leader of the guards who followed Hongyan hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and the person who came was also stunned and asked, "Brother, why are you here?" ”
Hongyan was greatly relieved when she heard Cherry, obviously frightened, she herself was not nervous, but suddenly another spirit was excited, and she became nervous again, where did this Beijing officer come from, and the Queen Mother sent her to arrest her?
Hongyan never thought that the person who followed her into the door was the person she wanted to see in Chao Sidu, and the emperor didn't expect that he would see Hongyan in a small village in the middle of nowhere, he was also followed by Fu'er, and the father and daughter came in with a smile, and when they saw Hongyan through the human wall blocked by Xiao Lingzi Cherry, they thought they were dazzled.
"E-niang." Buddha was very surprised, ran up to pull Hongyan, and turned back to the emperor excitedly and said, "Huang Ama, it's Eniang, it's Eniang." ”
The small teahouse that was so cold that Cherry was afraid, the atmosphere suddenly changed, the store didn't know what was going on, and was put out by the guards, Xiao Lingzi and Cherry also hurriedly retreated, Buddha happily pulled Hongli in, sent it to Eniang, she wanted to say something excitedly, it can be seen that the expressions of her father and mother are stagnant, and she can't figure out the situation for a while, only to hear her husband's voice faintly calling her, turning around to see Fulongan beckoning in front of the door, she cautiously retreated a few steps, and saw that Ama Eniang didn't move, turned around and ran.
When she went out, Cherry came up and asked her, "Princess, why is the emperor here?" ”
Fu'er said: "Huang Ama has finished his business and decided to go back with me to see Eniang in advance." What about you, why did you just run out like that? ”
In the teahouse, Hongli had already sat down, and took the tea bowl in front of Hongyan to drink, and the tea that was already slightly cold was just to quench his hot thirst from galloping on his horse, but Hongyan was worried that he would not feel comfortable drinking, and said: "The emperor can't eat things outside." ”
She reached out to take back her tea bowl, but Hongli held her hand and said, "Does the injury on your foot still hurt?" Can you walk? I'm done with my errands, and I want to go back sooner, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”
Hongyan saw the fine sweat on the emperor's forehead, he was tired from riding, and saw that there were bloodshots in his eyes, he should have been tired by government affairs all day, he should have rested well at night, and he should have found a beauty to accompany him with his past personality, and spent the Spring Festival with his left and right hugs, but he didn't expect him to come back early.
"Why doesn't the emperor take a break, why rush to go back this half night?" Hongyan said.
"You know, I rushed back to see you, to see how your injuries were, why bother with duplicity." In Hongli's tone, his helplessness was precipitated, and he said, "My thousand things are not in your eyes, but I often don't know what you have on your mind." It's been more than 20 years, what else can't I say, I know that all of you have kept in mind a saying in your hearts that a companion is like a tiger, but Hongyan, it's really your husband, it's your man. ”
Hongyan lowered his head and said: "What's the matter with the concubine, what the emperor doesn't know?" ”
Hongli shook his head: "That Yong'er, do you think that I like that palace maid?" ”
Hongyan's heart tightened, and he raised his head and said, "The emperor thinks that the concubine ran out privately in disregard of the palace rules in order to discuss the palace maid with you?" ”
But the emperor smiled, looking at Hongyan with the same loving eyes as usual, and said deliberately: "Otherwise, otherwise what do you want to say?" In this wilderness, you don't have to care about any rules, you just have to say. Your daughter and son-in-law are outside, and if anything happens, they will help you. ”
Hongyan shook off the emperor's hand, but before she could take it back, she was immediately caught by Hongli again and asked her: "Where do you want to go if you leave me?" ”
