Chang Qing said: "Then, who should be used?" ”

I said, "Zhaoyi, Liu Li." ”

Chang Qing looked at me with wide eyes in surprise, and said in surprise: "She? Why do you want to post in her name? ”

I said: "The folk girl is fortunate to have a relationship with Liu Zhaoyi's brother Liu Yi in Yangzhou. Lord Liu told the people that their family rushed to Yangzhou from Shu in the third year of the Apocalypse, and then went up the river from Yangzhou to the capital. ”

"Lord Liu Shizhou is the champion of the third year of the Apocalypse, this palace knows, what do you say have to do with Fu Badai?"

"In the third year of the Apocalypse, there was another major event in Shudi, that is, Fu Badai gathered scholars from all over the world to hold an erudite conference in Xishan Academy in Shudi."

Chang Qing said: "You mean, in the third year of the Apocalypse, Lord Liu Shizhou participated in the erudite conference in Shudi, and then entered Beijing to take the high school championship. ”

I nodded.

In fact, Liu Yi told me at the beginning, he was only ten years old at that time, and his memory of that year was very vague, only remembering that his family was already surrounded by four walls, but his father still took them to Bashu, and then resolutely decided to go to Beijing to take the exam, but also because of this reason, the family ran out of money and food, so he would give Liu San'er to others to raise when he was in Yangzhou.

I even have a faint feeling that Lord Liu Shizhou's decision to go to Beijing to take the exam, including many of his later actions, are related to going to Shu to participate in Fu Badai's erudition conference.

"Although Liu Zhaoyi is Fu Badai's junior, compared to others, it is most appropriate for her to make this post."

Chang Qing listened silently, didn't speak, and only lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

The light smoke rising from the tea bowl steamed in front of her eyes, as if a layer of mist was enveloped in those autumn eyes.

After a while, she turned to me and smiled, "What you said makes sense. ”

I bowed my head and said, "The queen is wise." ”

"However, since you are from Shudi, have you also gone to the three-year erudition conference of the Apocalypse?"

"......" I was slightly stunned, looked at the eyes that were thick behind the mist, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "The queen mother said that she laughed, at the beginning, the folk girl was just a little girl, how can she be virtuous, how can she go to Fu Badai's erudition conference?" ”

Chang Qing glanced at me, didn't say anything, and smiled slightly: "That's right." ”

I smiled, and when she finished drinking the tea, she stepped forward to take the teacup, and was about to take it down, Chang Qing said: "You don't need to do these things, you can take good care of the eldest prince." ”

"Yes."

"This palace also knows that the eldest prince is very sick this time, and it is too difficult for you to take care of it alone, so I found two other people to come to Jingren Palace to take care of the eldest prince." After speaking, she gently raised her head to the door: "Come in." ”

I looked up with some confusion and froze.

The people who walked in from outside the gate turned out to be Mama Wu and Shui Xiu!

When the two of them saw me, their eyes immediately turned red, but they still knelt down to Chang Qing and said, "Slave maid to meet the queen." His voice trembled a little.

Chang Qing sat still, looked down at them, and said, "You are all guilty, because of the sponsorship of the Queen Mother, this palace transferred you out this time, and it is also a chance for you to make up for your mistakes." You must do your best to take good care of the eldest prince, and if there is any further dereliction of duty, this palace will definitely punish you severely! ”

"Yes, thank you for your grace!"

"Well, you all go down."

My heart was pounding, and I didn't know if I was laughing or what, so I hurriedly stepped forward and retreated with the two of them, and just after I went out, Shui Xiu grabbed my hand and jumped with joy: "Girl! Girl! ”

"Shui Xiu ......" Seeing her happy appearance, my voice also choked up, and I turned my head to look at Mama Wu who was standing aside and smiling gently, she still looked at me with that kind gaze, but said with some distress: "The girl has lost a lot of weight." ”

"Yes, Mama, look, she's skinny." Shui Xiu said and lowered his head and pinched my wrist, to say that I have actually been raising better recently, but I still can't make up for the two years, so he avoided this topic and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be you, I'm so happy." How have you been doing all these years? ”

Mama Wu smiled: "Nothing good or bad. There's old money, and we didn't suffer in the cold palace, but we just kept thinking about you, this girl-"

She looked at Shui Xiu, and Shui Xiu's eyes were red and said, "Girl, I always thought you were really dead......

I touched her face, looked at Mama Wu again, and said guiltily, "I made you worried." ”

This time to see Mama Wu and Shui Xiu, it was really a surprise for me, and I didn't have time to think about anything else, Chang Qing asked Kou'er to allocate a small room for us to live in Jingren Palace temporarily, they forced me to talk about my experience over the years, I only picked up some and said it roughly, but it made Shui Xiu amazed.

When he knew that I had been locked up in the cold palace for more than two years, lacking food and clothing, Shui Xiu held back her tears and whimpered and said: "It's all to blame for Mama Qian, she didn't tell me at all, if I knew, I wouldn't have starved you, look at you, you're so thin." ”

I only smiled and comforted her, and Mama Wu had been listening quietly, and then suddenly asked me: "Girl, the man you remarried outside the palace, Liu San'er, how is he now?" ”

As soon as I heard the name that had been in my mind countless times, my heart suddenly felt like a needle had been pricked.

In the pain, there is also a little unspeakable sourness.

I lowered my head and said gloomily, "I don't know either." ”

"Does the girl still want to look for him?"

"......," I said bitterly, "I think." ”

“……”

"But I'm afraid of him and doesn't want to see me."

I remembered the last back he left me, emaciated and lonely, but he always stood stubbornly in the ice and rain, and finally disappeared from my sight.

How is he doing now? How are you doing? With no loved ones gone, where will he go?

As if seeing my worries, Mama Wu gently patted the back of my hand and said, "Don't worry too much, girl, Jiren has his own nature." ”

I glanced up at her and nodded slightly.

The night passed quickly, and I barely slept much, thinking back to what Chang Qing said to me, looking at Mama Wu and Shui Xiu who were close by, I also knew that the next ten days would not be too easy.

The dark night outside the window was slowly dyed by the milky white morning light, and soon, the entire imperial city woke up from the darkness.

Today, the emperor and queen are going to leave for the Taimiao, all the palace maids and eunuchs are busy coming and going, Mama Wu and Shui Xiu also got up quickly, Mama Wu is still used to pressing me to the table and sitting down, helping me comb my hair.

I haven't seen you for a few years, but everyone hasn't changed much, Mama Wu is still the same as before, taking care of the surrounding Yiqiē carefully and properly, Shui Xiu still likes to run around, just washed up and slipped out, Mama Wu glanced at her in the mirror, and said to me: "This girl, no matter how much she loses, she can't change it." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled.

But after a while, Shui Xiu slipped back again, and said while washing his hands: "Girl, Mama, have you heard-"

Mama Wu said, "What did you inquire about again?" ”

"I just heard that the emperor spent the night at Liu Zhaoyi's last night."

"Oh?"

Mama Wu raised her eyebrows a little unexpectedly, and subconsciously glanced at me, I pinched my sideburns in the mirror, Mama Gui said before that the emperor has been very cold to Liu Zhaoyi in the past two years, probably true, so he summoned a lucky occasion, even Shui Xiu and Mama Wu would be surprised.

It seems that Chang Qing has passed on all those words from yesterday to Pei Yuanhao.

Thinking of this, I sighed softly, although Liu Li has always been indifferent to people in the past, but I know that it is one thing to be willing to be plain, and it is another thing to be treated coldly, and from her haggard appearance, you can also see the unsatisfactory in her heart. Originally, this time I went to the Taimiao, and the concubines below the second grade could not accompany her, and she was also a little lonely, but the emperor suddenly blessed her at this time, which was somewhat of a comfort.

This time, I don't expect her to be prosperous, but at least the situation is not too bad.

Because, she is the older sister of that person......

After a while, the meal was spread outside, and Mama Wu and Shui Xiu and I quickly went over to eat, and the people in the palace were ready, and they sent the emperor and queen out of the palace in full gear.

We now belong to Jingren Palace, so naturally we have to follow to see them off, the mighty procession has reached the Nangong Gate, the emperor's chariot has already been prepared, Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing stood on the steps, and explained a few words to the people behind them, and then walked to the concubine and Concubine Li, and said softly: "This time I have been away for ten days, you must take good care of yourself, don't be sad." ”

"The concubine knows."

His gaze slipped towards the crowd again, seemed to look at me, and said, "The matter of the eldest prince, the queen has already arranged it, right?" ”

Chang Qing said: "Yes, the concubine has made arrangements. ”

"Well, Zhu'er, Rou'er, you don't have to worry about it."

The two of them lowered their heads and seemed to pause for a moment, and then showed a soft smile at the same time, leaning over and saying, "Yes." ”

Pei Yuanhao turned around and was about to leave, then glanced back at Nangong Lizhu, and said softly: "Take care of your body and wait for me to come back." ”

Nangong Lizhu listened to his words, the smile on his face was as sweet as honey, and said softly: "The concubine knows that the emperor also has to take care of the dragon body." ”

Pei Yuanhao nodded, then took Chang Qing's hand and walked down the steps to get on the chariot, at this time, the inner attendant came up and said loudly: "Get up!" ”

Suddenly, all the people around knelt down and bowed.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen."

With the congratulations of everyone, the chariot of the emperor and queen slowly drove forward, and everyone knelt until the chariot disappeared at the end of the road.

Seeing this scene, I don't know why I had the illusion that this palace had become an island in an instant, and the island was full of ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts, and only through the bloodiest and brutal fights could survive.

Ruizhu and Mingzhu had already gone to help their masters, and when the two of them stood up, the people around them slowly stood up.

I had been standing far away, hiding in the crowd, and I was silent at this time, and after glancing at the slowly closing palace door, I was silently ready to leave.

Just as I turned my head, a voice sounded behind me: "Did Hongu let you go?" ”
