Chapter Seventy-Two: The Palace Rules

Gao Zhao stayed in the Zhenghe Palace, Xiao Luzi officially became the person in front of the emperor, the new monarch has not yet ascended the throne, in order to let him learn to deal with government affairs, the next day Gao Yuan said that he was ill, and Gao Zhao personally handled government affairs in the Council Palace.

Wutong Palace is where the former queen lived, and Gao Zhao instructed Mu Xiaoxiao and Qianyi Dai to take care of every grass and tree in Wutong Palace.

Mu Xiaoxiao was allowed not to go to the council hall anymore, she was also happy to be quiet, and Kite Dai cleaned up the inside and outside of the Wutong Palace every day, diligently.

She didn't know what happened in the previous dynasty, but on the third day of the Wutong Palace, an uninvited guest came.

"I didn't expect you to be in the womb, don't shy away from it!" a familiar voice came.

Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Xiaoxiang dressed in palace clothes, wearing a peony on his head, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

She didn't speak, handed the small shovel for weeding in her hand to Iris, and stood up straight: "How can Madame have time to come here today?"

Xiaoxiang looked around, this Wutong Palace was really different, she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao: "What's the matter?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just a janitor, and I'm not qualified to ask someone to sit down. Mu Xiaoxiao clasped her arms with her hands and looked cold.

It's no wonder that she has such a change, she went to Fengtan a few days ago, and Shui Da is no longer there, and no information is left.

"Did you take 、、、 water Qin Bin with you?" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her.

"Now that the palace is full of dangers, Gao Zhao must not be able to take care of you at this time. After speaking, she walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao and leaned slightly: "You don't want to know where Mu Hibiscus is now?"

Mu Xiaoxiao's body shook, she looked at Xiaoxiang's face close at hand, I don't know why, she really wanted to punch her beautiful face, she clenched her fist.

"Haha! Mu Hibiscus is in the Yizheng Hall today? Alas, this man, if you have gentleness, you will not refuse, and the two of us still want to change the history of Jinguo, it's just a fool's dream! Hehe、、、" She turned around, and the entourage followed her out of the Wutong Palace.

When Mu Xiaoxiao heard that Mu Hibiscus was actually in the palace, she didn't think about the meaning of Xiaoxiang's words, she changed her official uniform with joy, and asked Kite Dai to comb her hair and go to the previous dynasty.

Walking outside the hall gate, she said to Xiaogong: "Go and pass it, just say that Mu Xiaoxiao asks to see her." ”

The little father-in-law saw that her official uniform was not of a low grade, and he didn't dare to delay, so he turned around and entered the hall.

Mu Xiaoxiao only felt that he had waited for a long time, and the little father-in-law left the hall with a nervous face.

"Master Mu, the new monarch asked the servant to tell you that there is an important state matter to discuss at this time, so I will not meet you for the time being. After the little father-in-law finished speaking, he stood at the door again.

She only felt extremely hurt, although Gao Zhao had always been cold to her, he never refused to see her, and he had only stayed in the council hall for ten days, and the relationship between the two seemed to be much more estranged.

But today she didn't come to remember her former friendship, she just wanted to meet Hibiscus, even if it was just to look at him.

She stood outside the door and waited, until everyone came out of the council hall one after another, she looked for them one by one, until everyone left, and she didn't see that familiar face.

Mu Xiaoxiao asked the little father-in-law again: "Now you go and pass it on again, tell Xinjun, and say that Mu Xiaoxiao asks to see you." ”

The little father-in-law was a little embarrassed, and looked at her with a firm face, as if if if he didn't go in and pass it, the next second this person would start beating himself, he shook his head, and entered the hall again.

"My lord, the new monarch now has state affairs to discuss, and it is inconvenient to see your lord for the time being, please go back first!" The father-in-law looked helpless, the new monarch was discussing important matters inside, and it was indeed not missing.

Mu Xiaoxiao's face was angry, it had only been a few days, and she didn't want to see each other, no wonder they all said that since ancient times, the king was so affectionate, she couldn't help but start to sympathize with Gao Zhao's wife who didn't enter the door.

Since he doesn't want to see him, then he has to go in, I want to see what he will do with me? Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao had a little luck, pushed down the four guards next to him, and just wanted to break into the hall, her back tightened, and someone grabbed her collar, she lowered her head, flexibly avoided, and turned around to see that it was a windless thing that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Mu Xiaoxiao's face was excited: "No wind! Tell them quickly, I want to see Your Highness!"

Wufeng, who has always been calm, frowned at this time, and he grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao with one hand and was about to push away the father-in-law's hand.

"Little 、、、 Adult!"

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and slowly looked at Wufeng, the person was still the same person, but listening to him, always with a faint alienation, she put down her hand and smiled at Wufeng reluctantly: "Wufeng, I'm Xiaoxiao, haven't you always called me by my name?"

Wufeng withdrew his hand, stood in front of her, looked at the marble slab in front of him, and his voice was slightly hesitant: "There are palace rules in the palace, and you can't violate the palace rules if you are lowly." Please don't embarrass these subordinates, the new monarch has important things to talk about at this time, you can go back first, and come back another day. Then he went into the inner sanctum.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, could it be that she had been in the Wutong Palace, and she didn't know what was going on outside? She was a little flustered, turned around and hurriedly ran over.

"She's gone?" Gao Zhao was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a pearl and gold crown, and holding a map in his hand.

"Yes. Wufeng looked respectful.

"You do this, you shorten the time, but, possibly, lose more. Gao Zhao said lightly.

"What can a person who already has nothing lose?" Mu Hibiscus, dressed in white, took the map in Gao Zhao's hand and flipped through it.

"Is it true that you won't see her again?" Gao Zhao looked at him.

Hibiscus shook his hand, "I will see you again." He picked up his pen and circled the map twice: "This is the straight-line distance between Xiaoyao Valley and Jiuju Mountain." For hundreds of years, the Tsu Kingdom has relied on priests to govern the country, and if you want to change the situation of this family, you must first separate the imperial palace from the Kuju Mountain. ”

Gao Zhao rubbed his temples: "Yes, but now the dynasty is unstable, and the palace is lacking in skills." ”

"We can remember this for a long time, the first thing we have to do is to weaken the military power in the hands of the princes, and then sweep away all the forces in the palace. Hibiscus looked at him.

"This palace is going back to Wutong Palace today, think about it, I haven't been back for ten days, do you want to go with this palace?" Gao Zhao stood up, took two steps, and turned around.

Mu Hibiscus felt a pang in his heart, and a naughty figure flashed in his mind, and he said lightly: "If the minister wants to go back to sort out tomorrow's plan, he won't go, and the minister will retire." ”

Gao Zhao looked at his back and asked, "Excellence, what do you have to say about Qi Yue's marriage in this palace?"

Zhuo Qi walked out from behind, he looked at Zhuo Feng on the side in embarrassment, the latter lowered his head and didn't look at him, Zhuo Zhuo was not good at words, but he could see what Gao Zhao meant, he was waiting for his answer, so he stubbornly said: "My sister is happy with Xinjun." ”

Gao Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly: "This marriage is originally a matter of interest, and this palace may hurt her." ”

Zhuo Zhuo raised his head: "My sister is a sensible person, I think she will understand Xinjun's difficulties, and 、、、。 He bowed his head and said: "It is normal for the king to have three palaces and six courts, I just hope that the new king can treat his sister well, and his subordinates will be content." ”

Gao Zhao didn't speak for a long time with a pillar of incense, and was silent for a long time, he said softly: "Go back to Wutong Palace." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao arrived at the bamboo garden, it was empty, she looked inside and out, only to see a letter on the table in her room, she opened the letter, there were only a few short sentences on it:

"Little pro-enlightenment, I will go to Jiangnan Lingqi with worry-free, and I will return in a month, don't read it. ”

Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the chair, as if she remembered that she had just come here many years ago, and she was worried every day, and that insecure day seemed to be back, she sighed, and heard the sound of birds fluttering their wings outside the window, she opened the window, and a white owl flew in.

"Xiaobai?" she said in surprise.

The bird seemed to understand her call, and flapped its wings and flew to her arm.

Mu Xiaoxiao gently touched its little head, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen and wrote a few words, and rolled it into a small roll and tied it to Xiaobai's paws. Xiaobai looked around, flapped his wings and flew away.

Mu Xiaoxiao walked out of the room and saw that there was only a white spot left in the sky, and she didn't withdraw her gaze until there was no shadow. As soon as she turned around, she didn't know when, Gao Zhao was already standing behind her.

She didn't know what to say, she just looked at the young talent in front of her, who was above 10,000 people. It's not that she is hypocritical, she looked at Gao Zhao, she felt very sad and a little aggrieved. Who's to say it's not? All along, this high-ranking man never forced her to do anything she didn't want to do, she ate, drank and played by his side, except for the occasional errand time, the rest of the free time was all her own. She always thought that she could stay until the day when Hibiscus came to her, but before Hibiscus came, Gao Zhao left first.

Mu Hibiscus Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Gao Zhao: "Your Highness." She subconsciously didn't want to call him the emperor, she wanted to bring the relationship between the two closer.

In fact, she did it, Gao Zhao was a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, if it weren't for his father, he would never want to be in this lonely position. For so many days, every time others call him the emperor and he calls himself lonely, a sense of loneliness comes to his heart. Now her highness makes him feel much happier in his heart, and his mood is much more relaxed.

"What are you doing here, aren't you asking you to guard the Wutong Palace?" Gao Zhao walked into the main house.

Mu Xiaoxiao followed into the door and looked at Gao Zhao, "Your Highness, I want to see Mu Hibiscus." ”

Gao Zhao looked at her and said lightly: "Many things are compared to the situation, you, Bengong or him have times when they can't help themselves." ”

"But I just want to see him. Mu Xiaoxiao said stubbornly.

Gao Zhao looked at her and didn't speak, she repeated: "I want to see him, why didn't you let me see him just now!"

Gao Zhao stood up and took two steps forward: "You must know that the palace rules cannot be violated, and he doesn't want to see you." Thinking that she wanted to break into the political hall in the afternoon, he was a little helpless, and when he saw Mu Xiaoxiao's face suddenly turn pale, he softened his voice and said: "He has a last resort, you have to be considerate." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes ached a little, and she asked, "I can be considerate of him, but why doesn't he see me?"

Gao Zhao was not good at saying this, so he only said: "There is no one here, you go back to Wutong Palace with the palace first and then think about it in the long run." ”
