Chapter VII

【Yanxi Palace】

"You're too foolish, going over the wall in the middle of the night. If you are caught, you are lucky, if you are killed as an assassin, your life will be lost too much. The emperor's reproachful tone was distressed. You, if half of it were like morning rain, I would be relieved. ”

"Anyway, if I enter this palace, sooner or later my life will be gone." The little swallow moved his arms. "If I can get out of the palace generously, do I need to climb over the wall? People say that dogs jump over the wall in a hurry, and I am the puppy who jumps off the wall. ”

Xiaoyanzi's words made the Yanxi Palace laugh. Chaoyu covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and his eyes were full of smiles. "Ahem, little swallow, how can you describe yourself like that." Chaoyu coughed twice and immediately returned to his usual face.

"You admit that your dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and you are a puppy." The emperor shook his head helplessly.

"Then, that Huang Ama, even if I am your puppy, then you are anxious to jump off the wall when you see me, should you take me off the wall, touch my head, and say nice words to comfort me. Isn't it? How could you be like the queen and tie me up and beat me. ”

"Oh, so I should hug you, touch you, and say a few nice words to you, lest you jump over the wall in the future."

"Hmm. No, it is to prevent me from jumping over the wall and falling to my death, which is a very dangerous thing. Little Swallow is right.

"I remember that your mother is a woman as gentle as water, how could she educate you like this. Climbing over the wall in the middle of the night is really outrageous. ”

"You don't have to mention my mother at all, when did you remember her, she was like water or like fire, you have long forgotten everything. This concubine and that concubine in your harem, this nobleman and that nobleman, what is my mother? If you really have her in your heart, will you freeze her on the shore of Daming Lake and let her stay alive and widowed until death? Little Swallow's tone was a little rushed.

Chaoyu was so worried when she heard this, this little swallow was too bold, even she didn't dare to talk to the emperor like this, is she really temperamental or has few tendons.

"Presumptuous." A trace of anger ignited in the emperor's heart.

As soon as Chaoyu wanted to speak for Xiaoyanzi, Concubine Ling walked to Xiaoyanzi's side. "Quick, admit your mistake to Huang Ama."

And Xiaoyanzi still looks open-minded. "What's wrong, anyone can cut off my head anyway, Huang Ama, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not Gege at all, you can let me go."

Chaoyu was taken aback, what is she going to do, is there a showdown now, what a daring girl. "Little Swallow, how can you say such a thing. Huang Ama, little swallow, she is just angry, Huang Ama don't take it seriously. Chaoyu hurriedly relieved the siege for the little swallow.

The emperor's anger was extinguished in an instant, and his eyes revealed his distress for Xiaoyanzi and his reproach to himself.

"Gege!" Concubine Ling grabbed Xiaoyanzi's hands. "This morning, the emperor knew that you were taken to Jingren Palace, and rushed to rescue you without getting dressed. Be grateful. "Concubine Ling looks like she hates iron but not steel.

"My Ama is really not the emperor, I, my Ama doesn't know who it is!"

Chao Yu hurriedly interrupted Little Swallow's words. "Little Swallow, don't be angry, apologize to Huang Ama." She was really afraid that Xiaoyanzi would shake out the secret like this, which would affect Concubine Ling and the Fu family.

"Little swallow, I know that I am sorry for your mother. In fact, a few years later, I went to Jinan again to pick up your mother. But at that time, when Empress Xiaoxian died, there was no way to arrange it. I know you're holding this breath in your heart, so it's okay to say it now. If you don't have this kind of cowardice, you are not allowed to say it again in the future. The emperor looked sad. Your mother, your mother, she blamed me all her life and hated me all her life. I tell you honestly, I have many children, and none of them are as bold as you, and even Chaoyu next to you doesn't dare to talk to me like that. Today, for the sake of your mother's face, and for the sake of you being tied up and beaten by the queen, I won't bother with you today. ”

Chaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time worried about Ziwei, the emperor is now convinced and doted on Xiaoyanzi's identity, how can he accept that Xiaoyanzi is a fake character.

"Come here, come." The emperor waved his hand lovingly at Little Swallow.

Little Swallow looked overwhelmed and hesitated.

"Come on." The emperor patted the position beside him. "Sit."

Xiaoyanzi walked over stiffly and sat down beside the emperor.

"Alas, you have a bad temper, you can do whatever you want, it's exactly the same as when I was young." The emperor is like an ordinary father, helping Xiaoyanzi tidy up his clothes.

Hearing the emperor's gentle inquiry, Xiaoyanzi was inexplicably moved and cried directly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong."

"I never knew it was so good to have a dad. Huang Ama, no matter how good you are to me, I am afraid that I will not be able to do without you in the future. ”

When the emperor heard this, he smiled with satisfaction, wiped away Xiaoyanzi's tears with his hand, and then took her into his arms and patted her back gently. "Silly girl, from now on, you are my beloved Huanzhu Gege, and I will be reluctant to let you go."

"Huang Ama, Chaoyu is going to be jealous." Seeing this warm picture, Chaoyu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and pretended to be angry.

"Haha, Chaoyu, you come too." The emperor also waved his hand at Chaoyu.

Chao Yu sat on the left side of the emperor, and the emperor also hugged Chao Yu. "You two are like my right and left hands, I can't do without you." Chaoyu had a thought in his heart at this time. Since the emperor likes Xiaoyanzi so much, he can only grieve Ziwei and give up recognizing his father. But would she agree?

"Little Yanzi, if you want to go out of the palace in the future, go out generously, don't go over the wall again. Let's be full of arrogance, women can ride horses and shoot arrows like men, don't you look at Chao Yu's usual Svenwen, riding a horse is not lost to the brothers, didn't the emperor take her to the paddock to hunt? It's not difficult to get out of the palace, as long as you change into a civilian attire, with Chaoyu, and bring a few eunuchs, don't be too ostentatious, or pay attention to safety. ”

When Xiaoyanzi heard that she could leave the palace, she was very excited, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed. "Thank you Huang Ama, thank you Huang Ama, long live Huang Ama."

"There is one condition, though."

"Ah, what conditions."

"In two days, I want you to go to the study and study with your brothers, by the way, Chaoyu is also there. I have already told Ji Xiaolan that I want him to teach you something special. Master Ji is very good at learning, you have to learn well from him. Your mother didn't teach you poetry and songs, let's make up for it. Until Master Ji says that you have studied well, you can go out of the palace. ”

"Ah, I still have to study." The little swallow smiled bitterly.

"Little Swallow, we can be a companion and go to the study." Chaoyu helped the little swallow up and said.

【Imperial Garden】

"Humph! I was only allowed to leave the palace after I finished studying, which is simply bluffing me! When I was a child, reciting a three-character scripture cost me my life, and I still read it! If I can't read it well for a year or two, then I won't be able to get out for a year or two? Yes! What to do, what to do. "Xiaoyanzi and Chaoyu came out of Yanxi Palace and parted ways. On the way back to Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi talked to herself, gesturing with her hands. "How is that possible? Is! Yes! was actually tied up by the queen, slapped by Mama Rong, and I planned for a long time, and the 'over the wall' that I had been busy for a day was also in vain. This queen obviously sent someone to guard there and arrest me. I'm, at me! ”

"It's going to be like this here......" Benjamin was talking to the little eunuch and walking backwards, but he didn't expect the little swallow to bump into him.

"Oops, oops! My head.

Benjamin hurriedly turned back. “sorry!”

"Who, you don't have long eyes when you walk!" The little swallow, who was already angry, suddenly exploded. "Whoever messes with me today is unlucky!" She punched Benjamin in the stomach.

However, Benjamin's abdominal muscles were very hard, and Little Swallow's fist suffered. "Ah, oops!" Xiaoyanzi shook her hand in pain, and threw out the jewelry that she planned to bring to Ziwei in her sleeve and the old and young people in the courtyard.

Benjamin looked at it, and it was actually a little swallow. "Little Swallow?" Then, with round eyes, he looked at the jewels that had been scattered all over the ground.

"Ban Laowai! You, you, you actually hit me, you caused my gold, silver and jewelry to fall to the ground! This is for Bao Yatou and Ziwei! Oops, it's over. The little swallow hit a rake, so angry that he knelt on the ground to pick up jewelry.

Benjamin was a little embarrassed and surprised. "Sure enough, it's you, why are you here, dressed like this."

"Who said I can't be here, I can dress whatever I like, go away, go away!" Little Swallow pushed Benjamin, who stepped on the jewelry, away.

"Why are you losing your temper early in the morning, who provoked you?"

"Foreign devil, class foreigner, I'm in a bad mood today. How dare you hit me. I'm telling you, go about your own business, leave me alone, and walk away! Little Swallow jerked to her feet and pointed at Benjamin's nose and became angry.

"Ahh Go away! Seeing that Benjamin was indifferent, Little Swallow became angry and pushed Benjamin away. As a result, all the jewels on his body were spilled. The pearl necklace broke, and pearls bounced all over the floor.

"Ahh climbed over the wall, fell, was tied up and beaten by five flowers, but it didn't fall, and now it's rolling all over the ground. As soon as I saw you, nothing good happened. You see, how much jewelry I've dropped. These jewels are enough for a long time of white rice for snacks in our miscellaneous courtyard. Little Swallow was completely furious, and Benjamin was shocked by her momentum and retreated.

Seeing that Little Swallow was so anxious, Benjamin took off his drawing board and picked up the jewelry together. "Come on, come on, I'll help you. Little Lanzi, Little Green, what are you doing over there, hurry up and help pick it up! ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Several eunuchs took off their hats and carefully picked up the pearls on the ground.

"These are all still in charge, you have to look for them carefully, and pick them all up."

Benjamin and Little Swallow collide trying to pick up the same string of beads, and the bracelet on their hands rolls out.

"Ah, my bracelet!" Little Swallow hurriedly chased after the bracelet. "Bracelet, don't run, don't run, my bracelet."

“sorry!” Benjamin saw that and laughed. He was startled when he saw the bracelet rolling towards the edge of the pond, and then at the little swallow. "Hey!" So he hurriedly flew over with light power. Instead, he retrieved the bracelet before Little Swallow, but Little Swallow didn't have time to stop and knocked Benjamin into the pond.

"Class painter, class painter!" Little Lanzi and the others saw Benjamin fall into the water and wanted to rescue him.

"Why do you have a flood every time you encounter Huanzhu Gege!" Benjamin fluttered in the water, while Little Swallow laughed so the shore that he couldn't straighten up.

"Hahahaha, eh! I, I couldn't climb over the wall, I was tied up and beaten by the queen, and I was taught a lesson by the emperor, and the money I wanted to give everyone fell to the ground again. I'm really unlucky to be home, but you're so much fun as a class artist. ”

Benjamin fell into the water, just in time to be seen by Yongqi, Chaoyu, and Ertai who passed on the bridge.

"Benjamin?"

"It's Benjamin."

They ran under the bridge in fear.

"Benjamin, why did you fall into the water again!"

"The fifth elder brother is auspicious, the morning rain is auspicious, and the second master is auspicious."

"And, one after another." Yongqi and Ertai frowned.

"Don't curse me, don't have a third time, it's enough to be here today." Benjamin climbed up from the pond, took the hat from the little eunuch's hand, and walked over to the smiling little swallow. "Huanzhu Gege, these have been picked up for you, and it is time for me to leave." He returned the jewels to the little swallow and took the little eunuch away.

"Class painter, I'm sorry, thank you." Little Swallow looked at the embarrassed Benjamin and said with a smile.

Benjamin looked back and waved his hand in a dashing manner.

"Little Swallow, why haven't you changed your clothes yet, what are you going to do with these silver and jewelry?" Chaoyu looked at the little swallow and said.

"I heard Chaoyu say, you made another 'assassin' trick last night." Ertai said.

"Can you do me a favor?" Little Swallow looked sincere.

"What's busy." The fifth elder brother said.

The little swallow looked around. "Shu Fangzhai speaks, go, go quickly." The little swallow pulled Chaoyu and left.

【Sofang Zhai】

Chaoyu sat on the chair and wanted to see what the little swallow wanted. So the minions of Shufangzhai are also standing in a row.

"Gege, did the queen mother do anything to you?" The little bug looked worried.

"Obediently boom, the little mosquitoes are scared silly. Gege was taken to Jingren Palace, did he get hurt anywhere? ”

"It's okay, the six of you have been busy all night, let's go to sleep."

"Minions don't dare to sleep!"

"Although you invited Chaoyu Gege and Huang Ama to come and save me, they are all meritorious. But for the sake of this 'minion', I still have to slap my mouth. "Little Swallow looks like he hates iron but not steel

When the eunuchs and palace maids heard this, they really picked up their palms and were about to slap their faces. "Huh! No slapping! Alas, how many times have I told you, this 'slave should die, slave should die, slave dare not, slave dare not. 'It's all taboo in my house. Don't say it, if anyone says it in the future, they will deduct money from the monthly salary! Say a word, deduct a penny. If you say too much, it's all in vain. I can't get any money. ”

"Ahh

"Slaves obey!" The little stool knelt down and said. As soon as I finished speaking, I regretted it.

"Na na, little stool, little stool, you were the first to foul, little table, hurry up, help me write it down."

"Slave, little one obeys."

"Whew, go down and rest, don't come in if I don't call."

"Wow."

Yongqi, Chaoyu, and Ertai were confused. "Why can't they say 'minions'?" Yongqi asked.

"You are used to being a master, thinking that slaves are born slaves, they are also born by their fathers, raised by their fathers, and raised by their fathers and mothers, but they were also raised by their fathers and mothers in the palm of their hands, but because the family is poor and there is no way, they are sent out to serve people, which is pitiful enough, and you still have to keep them saying, 'Slave this, slave that' This is simply bullying! I wasn't born with a personality, so I don't need these rules. Every time I hear them talk about slaves, I feel sad once, so I don't want to let myself live in sadness all day long. ”

"What you say is reasonable, our identity has had a sense of superiority since childhood, so much so that we never consider the feelings of others, and it is true that this matter is a harm to them." Chaoyu admires Xiaoyanzi very much, although she has not read poetry and books, but she can have such an idea, Chaoyu sighs to herself.

"That's right, especially the eunuchs, who hurt their bodies first, and then hurt their ......" Xiaoyanzi couldn't think of an adjective for a while. ...... who hurt them again"

"Well, it hurts their dignity again." Ertai relieved the little swallow.

"Yes, yes, it's dignity, something. Anyway, it's just confusing them, and they don't even know that they are the same as us, and they don't understand how to tell them. Closer to home, do you want to help me? ”

"Help, you must help, you say how to help." Yongqi said.

"Yesterday, I also helped you, since my brother said to help, then I will help you again." Chaoyu smiled and shrugged.

"Take me out of the palace, whether it's your Xiao Si, your attendant, or the little eunuch, take me out anyway. Because of the emperor, he did not allow me to go out. ”

"Well, it doesn't seem to be good." Yongqi hesitated.

"But what are you going to do out there? If you're missing something, let me know and I'll do it for you. What you have to do, I can do it for you. If you want to send a letter or something, I'll send it for you. Ertai said.

"Oh, no, you don't understand, alas, I must go out, I have a sworn sister, her name is Ziwei, that is, when she was worshiping the sky, she ran behind the team, and she was injured, although you told me that she was fine, but I don't worry, I must see her with my own eyes, and I still have a lot of gold and silver jewelry to give to her. I have a lot more to tell her. ”

When Chaoyu and Ertai heard Xiaoyanzi say this, they were convinced that Ziwei was really Gege.

"Ziwei, Xia Ziwei?" Ertai said.

"How do you know her surname is Xia?" Little Swallow looked at Ertai suspiciously.

"Don't worry about how I know, Brother Wu and I, Chaoyu, will definitely help you, but you have to plan, it's you, internal and external troubles, you have to be careful."

"I don't understand what's inside and what's outside, it's okay for you to make it clear."

"It's that there are many people in the palace who are jealous of you, and many people want to seize your handle, charge you with fake qualifications, and then ......"

"Then you're going to cut off my head!" Before the fifth elder brother could explain clearly, he was interrupted by Xiaoyanzi.

Everyone nodded in unison. At this time, the atmosphere was a little solemn.

"I also know this, the queen has already arrested me and punished me evilly, handle, how can I have any handle." Little Swallow was very nervous.

Ertai and Chaoyu glanced at each other, and knew very well in their hearts that the handle of this fake grid was in the Bachelor's Mansion.
