Chapter 124: Trapped in a Cage
She knew that Gongzi also had affection for her, so she was already very surprised and satisfied, how dare she ask to marry him again, and she also understood that Gai Qing didn't care about her humble status at all, and it wasn't that she didn't want to marry her, but to protect her.
As the eldest son of Gaifu, Gai Qing has long been destined to be related to interests, so the main family he married was personally appointed by the current emperor, and even the other concubines were all from famous families that were either rich or noble.
And she is a maid with no status, if Gai Qing marries her into the door and becomes a concubine, how can she fight against those rich ladies who are rich and play tricks?
Therefore, in order to protect her from being bullied, Gai Qing would rather not marry her into the door, but the love that can be given to her is a lot, on weekdays, several ladies rarely see their husbands for a few days, but Gai Qing arranged her by his side, with her every day, and has never changed for several years, with this love, why should she care about those empty names.
"Hmm...... Reasonable. Wei Xiwan nodded, she didn't need to say more, seeing Mo'er's appearance, she knew that it wasn't that Gai Qing was unwilling to marry Mo'er, that was enough, there were always many and complicated things in big families, and she didn't want to know too much.
"Then Miss Wei can go out today?" Mo'er smiled softly, and the smile on her white face looked very comfortable.
These days, in addition to letting herself take her to wander around the house, she would go out of the house every day after shopping, she also wanted to go out with her, but Gai Qing was worried about her safety outside, so she was stunned and didn't let her follow Miss Wei, so she had to wait for Miss Wei to come back in the house every day.
"Go, I'll be back before sunset. Wei Xiwan took the tea handed by Mo'er, took a sip and suddenly raised his head, looked at Mo'er with little stars in his eyes and continued, "That Cuilong Bazhen soup is really delicious, can I still drink it for dinner tonight?"
"Of course, the girl is a guest, and Gaifu should treat each other politely, if you want to eat anything, just say it. Mo'er burst out laughing, it seemed that she was about to instruct the kitchen to prepare the soup, this Wei girl had been drinking it for several days, it seemed that she had to ask the cook for a recipe, and when Wei girl left Gaifu, she would be happy to give it to her.
"Then I'll be back early tonight. Wei Xiwan blinked mischievously, put down the teacup and stood up, and prepared to leave the house.
She has almost finished visiting the entire Beiyu capital these days, and she already has a little idea of the layout in the capital, but she has not been to the few places closest to the palace, and she plans to go to see it today.
"The girl remembered to come back earlier, the soup was not so good when it was cold. Looking at the back of Wei Xi's late departure, Mo'er still couldn't help but admonish, for fear that she would forget the time while strolling, how dangerous it would be for a weak woman to be outside after dark.
"Got it. The man had disappeared around the corner, but the voice came back from outside the wall.
On one side of this street is the high palace wall, on the other side are some small shops, perhaps close to the palace, with an inexplicable "official" atmosphere, the shops here are not those noisy restaurants, but some elegant teahouses, or some old tailor shops that look a little old.
These days, I am used to walking on the lively street, but coming here makes Wei Xiwan feel a little relaxed and comfortable, so he walks slowly on the street, but his eyes are not idle and carefully looking at the palace wall.
I have heard that the palace of Beiyu is solid, and today I saw that it was really different from other countries, just this palace wall, it was the highest palace wall she had ever seen, who knew what the layout of the palace wall was, which was why she did not dare to easily climb over the wall to enter the palace.
Moreover, the masters of the Northern Yu Kingdom are like clouds, and the "Fu Snake" cultivated by the emperor Ji Xuanyan himself is a variety of celebrities in the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to find a trace of the ghost, if she did not come to the capital in secret, I am afraid that the moment she stepped into the city gate, she was already stared at by the people of the snake all the time, and it was difficult to escape.
But fortunately, she not only came here quietly, but also lived in Gaifu openly, as long as Gaijun came back, it should not be difficult for her to enter the palace.
"Girl, do you want tea?" an old but kind and gentle voice sounded, "It's cold and windy, come in and have a cup of hot tea." ”
Wei Xi turned around late and saw an old man looking at him with a smile, the teahouse behind him was small but exquisite, each table had a small stove for making tea, and her favorite patterns were carved, even the style of the teapot and cup was also the plain and elegant she often liked to use on weekdays, and the bursts of tea fragrance wafting from it really attracted her.
"Okay. Wei Xiwan smiled and nodded, raised his feet and walked into this small teahouse, there was only one table with two people sitting in it, also drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the weather is occasionally warmer, and occasionally there is a shivering cold wind like today, although she is not afraid of the cold, but it is not a pleasant thing to hold a cup of hot tea in such weather and listen to the wind blowing outside.
"There is no spring tea yet, but this tea is not bad, the girl will taste it if she doesn't dislike it. Seeing that Wei Xiwan picked a table and sat down, the old man came over with a smile and a pot of tea.
"What is the name of this tea, uncle?" Wei Xiwan took a deep breath, this tea smelled a little better than the one in her house, but she didn't expect this small teahouse to have this kind of good tea.
"This tea is called Nian Xiangyu. The old man replied patiently with a smile still on his face.
"Nian Xiangyu, is this Nian Xiangyu?" Wei Xiwan stared at the pot of tea in front of him in surprise, "This ...... Isn't it tea exclusively for the Beiyu royal family?"
She was a tea lover at the beginning, and she tried her best to buy some of the best tea in the legendary Nian Xiangyu to go back, but unfortunately this tea is not only extremely precious, but also only a single line into the Beiyu Palace, so that she can't buy it at all, and now how can she drink this Nian Xiangyu in the small teahouse outside the palace?
"That's right. The old man nodded, his kind face unchanged, "It makes no difference if you enter this teahouse and follow up with the palace." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Xiwan, who suddenly realized that something was wrong, stood up suddenly, and the next second saw countless iron pillars falling from the eaves of the entire teahouse, and in the blink of an eye, the originally quiet and comfortable teahouse instantly became an iron cage, and the double-layered mechanism made Wei Xiwan clearly realize that it was impossible to escape.
There was another layer in the middle of the cage, just separating the old man from Wei Xiwan and the two men at the table, the old man smiled at Wei Xiwan, and at this time, a sudden feeling of dizziness also began to invade her brain, everything was almost instantaneous, and Wei Xiwan fell to the ground unconsciously.
"Brought into the palace, the third prince has orders, not to hurt her. The old man spoke softly, but his tone was majestic and irresistible, and the kindness on his face had disappeared.
"Yes. The two men who had just drunk tea had already stood up and replied respectfully.
