Xiaoyu asked again, "When will the emperor leave?"

"Tomorrow. ”

Xiaoyu was surprised again, so fast? But after thinking about it, this seems to be good, this person is gone, and he can finally live a peaceful life.

"How did I see a glimmer of joy in your eyes?

This person's eyes are really sharp, Xiao Yu was slightly embarrassed, in his arms, he couldn't give him a salute, his eyebrows flew and he said something he liked to hear, "Your Majesty, you don't know, as soon as I heard that you were leaving the palace, the little heart of the slave was cold." However, the weather is hot, the emperor should go to the summer resort to escape the heat, the emperor is away from this period of time, the slave will miss the emperor on time with three meals a day, and look forward to the emperor's return to the palace. ”

"Xiao Yu'er, your clever face, what you say is good is called human affection, and what you say is ugly is called sanctimonious. Murong Yan squinted his eyes and looked at this handsome eunuch with a smile, which made Xiao Yu even more uncomfortable, and saw that the corners of his thin mouth were raised a little bit, "Since you are so reluctant to me, then you will stay in the Qianqing Palace tonight to accompany me, and I will let you see enough." Bowl"

What? Staying in the Qianqing Palace tonight?

This person is really cunning, can he really push the boat down the river?

Xiao Yu was completely messy in his arms, she trembled slightly, and when she spoke again, she was slurred, "Your Majesty...... The emperor wants his servants outside...... A vigil for you?"

"Outside, my dragon bed is so big, is it an ornament? Besides, I don't lack eunuchs for the night watch. ”

When she heard him mention the "dragon bed" lightly, Xiaoyu not only trembled, but also broke out in a cold sweat, and she subconsciously tightened her legs, this time with a belt of her trousers.

Seeing that she was almost paralyzed with fright, Murong raised his eyebrows and smiled, let go of the eunuch in his arms, gently pushed her to the chair behind him, and carefully took out a snow-white handkerchief to wipe the sweat with her sideburns, "At that time, we will sleep together, I will put my arms around you, talk about national politics and talk about the common people's interests and hobbies, of course, if you are willing, take advantage of the beautiful scenery, you and I will go to Wushan together, it is not impossible?"

Your Majesty, how empty, lonely and cold are you, you need to use many excuses to prevaricate me, just to sleep with me, a little eunuch?

Xiao Yu swallowed several mouthfuls to stabilize her mood, she shook the arm of the chair, and said, "The slave is the steward eunuch of Yuexian Palace, if you rest in the Qianqing Palace, this time, I am afraid that rumors will spread and add to the incident." Although they are talking about national affairs in the same bed, how can they know how to raise the court? At that time, they will only say that I will spread the words of Yang and flatter the holy face. Xiaoyu is used as a four-grade eunuch, which is really undeserved. What's more, the old thief Qin has returned to the court, and he will definitely use this to criticize the emperor. ”

"As long as you talk about sleeping, when are you not talking at length, only more than that Ji Taifu can still preach to me? This time, you have to sleep, if you don't sleep, I force you to sleep, not to mention, I will never force you, what else is there to worry about? If Qin Lao Thief dares to talk nonsense again, this time I will let him have no chance to turn over. ”

Xiao Yu moved his lips, and wanted to say something more, but the fierceness in his eyes flashed, "I have spared you last time, if you push again this time, I can't hold it back, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

At this time, Xiaoyu didn't dare to say anything anymore, I just hoped that this person would not be forced to say anything.

Seeing that she was well-behaved, Murong Yan's mood also improved, and Fang Cai's cold and sharp face was also softened and warm, he glanced into the distance, and saw that the sun was shining in the afternoon, and there was still a long time before the evening, so he called Wang Zhongren to go to the imperial dining room to get some soup.

When Wang Zhongren came in, he found that Xiao Yu's face was red and white, his face was full of sweat, and he sat on the chair and trembled gently, daring to love the emperor to her again, right, this has become more handsome again, the emperor is not spring, is it strange? He only cast a good luck look at her, and went to the imperial dining room after receiving the order.

The two of them were left in the huge Qianqing Palace, and at this time, the emperor proposed on a whim to paint a Danqing for her.

Xiao Yu naturally couldn't disagree, this sitting was two hours, longer than her boiling a pair of medicines, and couldn't move, and had to maintain a smile that only showed eight teeth, when he drank tea and ate pastries to make the painting, she already felt stiff, her face was numb, she was resentful in her heart, this faint gentleman is really idle, what kind of literary talent?

She wanted to go and see the work he had completed in the past two hours, but he drove her back to Yuexian Palace coldly, Xiao Yu was indignant in her heart, this person can change his face really quickly, and he also encroached on her portrait rights, but he had no choice but to obey and leave the Qianqing Palace.

But what she didn't know was that as soon as she went out, the emperor urgently summoned Qi Wei into the palace, and when Qi Wei came in, she whispered to Wang Zhongren why did the emperor summon her?

Wang Zhongren wrinkled his eyebrows and said nothing, only led him in, and said, "You'll know when you go in." ”

Qi Wei was trembling, because he had made a mistake because of the treacherous affairs before, and he actually used the incense paper that had only been produced for half a year to write the whistleblower letter of Qin Yumou to usurp the throne. Fortunately, the emperor remembered that he had been loyal to him for many years, and he did not reprimand him too harshly, and this time he urgently summoned him, and he was all afraid.

When the two of them entered, they saw the emperor standing in front of the bookcase, holding a plum blossom folding fan in his hand on the table and gently stirring it, his eyes focused on the danqing on the table, thinking that it was a painting just made by the emperor, the ink had not dried, and he was in a hurry to frame it.

"Your Majesty, what do you command?" Qi Wei stood three meters away from him, looked at him, and peeked at the table, and vaguely saw that the emperor was drawing a person, as if it was a ...... Woman.

"Come here. ”

Listening to the emperor's orders, he stepped forward, this carefully looked, the person in the painting is really a woman, with red lips, muscles like snow, hairpin skirt and shirt, slender and smart, or a bright woman like a morning flower, just look at the woman in this painting always feel familiar, like déjà vu in general, suddenly, he was slightly excited in his heart, the emperor personally painted for this woman, and only then did he carefully fan the ink, I am afraid that it is the emperor's favorite woman, the emperor finally changed his evil and returned to the right, and embarked on a bright road of male and female love.

He was excited for a moment, so he asked excitedly, "Your Majesty, whose daughter is this, but the emperor wants a new concubine?"

After he finished speaking, Wang Zhongren coughed coldly, and then he looked at Wang Zhongren, what made him strange was that Wang Zhongren's expression was very indifferent, and he couldn't see half of the joy, and he squeezed his eyes desperately.

But the emperor's face was mixed, and he couldn't say anything, but vaguely he felt that he had just said the wrong thing.

"Take this painting and secretly go to the Xia family and the village at the foot of Fahua Temple to ask, but who knows this person? Perhaps, the person in this painting is not a woman. ”

This painting is obviously a woman, where does the "maybe" come from?

This sounds so terrifying, but he was excited, and what did he think, the place where Qin Xiaoyu was assassinated was at the foot of Fahua Temple Mountain, I heard that her hometown was there, and there was an old mother at home.

Could it be that the woman in this painting is-

He didn't dare to think about it, so he replied, "The minister will do it." ”

Murong Yan personally rolled up the painting and handed it to Qi Wei, and when he turned around with the painting in his hand, he said again, "Be careful, if this painting is damaged, I only ask." ”

Qi Wei bowed his head again and hurried out.

Except for Chu Changge, the emperor has never painted Danqing, and it is two hours to paint Qin Xiaoyu today, Qin Xiaoyu was obviously wearing a eunuch uniform at that time, but in his pen, he actually changed the eunuch into a snail shirt, I am afraid that the emperor hopes that Qin Xiaoyu is a woman, if it really hopes, why not let her check it in a wide clothes?

The emperor's mind is really getting deeper and deeper, and he is becoming more and more unpredictable.

......

As soon as Qin Xiaoyu arrived at Yuexian Palace, Xiao Anzi mysteriously told her that Xia Ti's punishment was coming, and she was in Concubine Xia's room at this time.

Her father entered the palace at this time, presumably for her, right?

"Okay, I see, you go down and do something. After opening Xiao Anzi, Xiao Yu went to the second sister's room, and looked around the door again, and there was no one around, so he closed the door tightly.

When Xia Yuanxing saw her enter the house, she was angry, "What do you look like, not a man, not a woman, and not a woman?"

"Daddy, now that I worship the four products, how can you take off this outfit if you say you can take it off?" Xiao Yu put his hands behind his back, holding his head high, not at all the shyness of his daughter's family, but full of majesty.

Xia Yuanxing was so excited by her that her face turned blue with anger, "You have only been an official for a few days, and you have put up an official position with your father?"

The father and daughter finally recognized each other, why did they quarrel for a few days as soon as they met, Xia Yan was gentle by nature, so she went over to play a round, "Father, you don't know the character of the little sister? ”

"Third sister, you still listen to your father, it's better to go home first, with your strategy, you will be able to easily get rid of this identity. Although the eldest mother and eldest sister are evil, there is always no danger from the palace in the Xia Mansion. What's more, as a woman, you always have to get married, and you won't stay in Xia Mansion for long. Xia Yan said, giving Xiaoyu a few looks, asking her to admit her mistake to her father.

But Xiaoyu is a person who admits death, she thinks she is right, and she didn't want to enter the palace, she was fed poison by the eldest sister and sent into the palace.

"The emperor believes in me and will not force me. Why don't I continue to be an official, even if I am just a eunuch, I can also use my talents, drive out traitors, and benefit the people, this is not more exciting than just being a woman?" She looked at Xia Yuanxing again, her voice was slightly cold, "Dad, you see that my mother has worked hard and complained with you all her life, and what happened in the end? Now, I don't rely on you, I don't rely on Bai Shao, I want to rely on my own strength to find my mother and give my mother a more stable home than Xia Mansion. ”

"What a daughter who Ruan Shushui taught. ”

Ruan Shuo is Xiao Yu's mother's name, and when Xia Yuanxing said this, Xiao Yu actually saw a trace of relief and shock in his father's chaotic old eyes.

Xia Yan was also shocked by it, Xia Jin, as a woman, dared to do men's things, for the world for the common people, unbearable, just waiting for the male to fly, such arrogant ambitions, even if she read poetry and books since she was a child, she didn't dare to think about it, let alone do it, let alone her, which woman in this world can dare to act like Xia Jin and practice it?

Rao is Xia Yuanxing's officialdom for a long time, and it is also because she is so arrogant, and her heart is broken, but in the end, she is a woman, not as good as a man, and this palace is a place in Longtan and Tiger's Den, and if there is a slight mistake, she will die without a place to be buried.

He sighed, knowing that this daughter also complained that she didn't take good care of their mother and daughter, and the back of the palm was meat, how could she understand his suffering as the head of the family?

"Not to mention that your eldest sister has bad means, Jin'er, you are so willful and reckless, and you don't obey the ancient precept of male superiority and inferiority of women, the former is fine, but you reverse yin and yang and conceal the Son of Heaven, this is the crime of killing, and then not only you, but even the entire Xia family will not be able to avoid this crime of sitting together. How do you teach your father not to worry?"

It was precisely because Xia Yan thought of this that she hurriedly wrote to her father to persuade her to change her mind, so that she could change out of this palace dress and return to her daughter.

Seeing that Xia Jin's eyebrows were slightly frowned, the old father knew that her heart was shaken, and he knelt down at her, no matter how hard Xiaoyu was, she was moved no matter how hard she was, after all, this person was her father, she was shocked in her heart, so she immediately bent down to help her, "Daddy......"

Xia Yuanxing burst into tears, "Good daughter, I beg you for your father, this is really not a place where you can stay for a long time, so it's better to get out of it quickly." Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has been ruthless, and now that you have regained your face, how can he not doubt it? Let you be smart, you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime, not to mention that you are-" He paused slightly, something flashed in his eyes, as if there were other hardships, he didn't dare to say any more, "In short, you listen to the advice of your father, your mother, we will be able to find it again." It's really not good, I will ask General Bai for help, this person is now considered to be above 10,000 people under one person, he will definitely be able to find your mother, and there will be a way to get you out of the palace safely. ”

Thinking of the past, her father's love and care for her, bit by bit, she couldn't help it, hugged her father and cried bitterly, "Dad, get up quickly, I promise you." "In the past few months, I have suffered in the palace, and every night when I think of my relatives, I grit my teeth and persevere, isn't it just to reunite with my relatives again?

When the second sister saw this meeting, she burst into tears all of a sudden, and she also hugged her father with Jin'er in the past.

......

It was getting late, and Xia Yuanxing was left by King Yan in Yuexian Palace for dinner, and after that, she was sent away by Xia Jin and her second sister.

After a while, Wang Zhongren came over to invite her over in person, only to feel that Wang Zhongren's eyes were strange and abnormal when looking at her, as if he was judging, and along the way, the old eunuch was silent, no more chatting with her than usual.

Xiao Yu had a lot of guesses in her heart, but she didn't want to ask him, because she was also very messy and complicated in her heart, and she didn't have the heart to care about what an old eunuch thought of her.

She thought that as long as it was safe to pass tonight, the emperor would go to the summer resort to escape the heat. And the time when the emperor was not in the palace was her best chance to get out.

When she thought of this, she was a little reluctant...... What is she reluctant to give, right, rich, or whatever?

Thinking so, she has stepped into the Qianqing Palace, the moon is at the beginning of the day, the lights in the hall are brilliant, reflecting the person's face, a pair of clear black eyes are burning at her, as if he has been waiting for her since she left, his posture is as long as a green bamboo and jade tree, slowly approaching, taking her hand, clenching the palm tightly, "Little Yu'er, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

I don't know if it's because the unique sandalwood on his body is too charming, or if his timbre is too clear and gentle, she is actually distracted, and when she looks at him again, his eyes are full of tenderness, and he can surround her tightly.

He withdrew from all the maids in the palace, Wang Zhongren also slowly withdrew, closed the door of the palace for them, through the smaller and smaller door cracks, Wang Zhongren glanced at Xiaoyu again, Xiaoyu happened to turn around, and saw that the light in his eyes was even stranger.

She sighed in her heart, and looked back at Murong Yan, his dark eyes also flashed with a faint curiosity, what happened to their master and servant?

The hall was quiet and silent, and she could hear her heartbeat, Xiao Yu's palms were sweating, Murong was considerate, he actually made a cup of tea for her, and pulled her to a guqin, she looked at the qin and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth first, "I know that you are not good at playing the piano, but I can teach you." ”

Xiao Yu was stunned again, he actually knew that in the palace at that time, this person held her up to the sky in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

At that time, this man took care of her and doted on her.

He invited her to sit on the ground, and there was a soft ball on the ground, even if it was very comfortable to sit cross-legged, he pushed away the piano case, and moved down the Fuxi guqin and put it on the legs of the two of them, they were arm to arm, leg to leg, so intimate that people smacked, and the ambiguous atmosphere was brewing in the air, making Xiaoyu slightly breathless.

"Do you also like the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", that song is not difficult, with your wisdom, you will learn it in a while. Come, I will teach you the basic fingering first, and when you learn this song in the future, you can only play it to me. ”

Anyway, after today, I will never see the faint king again, Rao is she doesn't like to play the piano, so she also obeyed his wishes, nodded meekly, and agreed to him.

His slender and noble hand caressed hers, pressed on the strings, taught her the techniques of the left and right hands, and after the song, the two got along very harmoniously and warmly, like a small bridge flowing water, she couldn't help but think that it would be good if time slowed down a little more.

When she realized that she had this thought, she herself was taken aback, no man had ever been so indulgent and gracious to her, and it was normal for people to be greedy.

When he was tired of playing, he made tea for her, and watched her drink it, and after a while, tiredness hit, and his face became more and more blurred, and finally she only remembered that someone knocked on the door and hurried in, and the man had a particularly dark face and a scroll in his hand......

The emperor wrung his eyebrows, looked at the little fish that fell on his shoulder, and motioned to Qi Wei to stay silent for the time being, "Don't wake her up." ”

Qi Wei saw that the emperor removed the guqin on his lap, picked up the sleeping eunuch, and walked into the inner room. And this eunuch is not the person in the painting, it is really Qin Xiaoyu.

Immediately, the emperor came out again and asked him, "What did you find out?"

"Back to the emperor, this Qin Xiaoyu really has a great background. Qi Wei said, after a slight pause, the emperor glanced at him and told him not to sell Guanzi, Qi Wei continued, "I first sent someone to Wanshan Village, a village at the foot of Fahua Temple Mountain, to investigate, that village is barren and there are only a dozen families, my people took this portrait and asked from house to house, but no one knew the person in this painting, only an old woman, saying that this is her son." But this is not the result when asked in Xia Mansion, I bought a long-term worker who has worked in the Xia family for more than five years, and he told me that this is the third lady of his family, named Xia Jin.

This is not surprising, if this person is Xia Jin, then who will be the princess Yan who is married to the king of Yan? I asked him in detail again, and described to him the face of the princess of Yan, and after listening to what I said, he actually told me that the person was like the second lady of his family. He also said that the second and third ladies had been away from the house for a while. ”

"I can't see that Xia Yuanxing, the little fourth-grade criminal officer, also has the ambition of such a wolf, and he dares to marry his second daughter to King Yan? He also arranged his third daughter to His Majesty's side? If his eldest daughter marries Big Brother Bai, wouldn't he almost envelop the most authoritative people in the court? This person's ups and downs can be seen. ”

Murong Yan's eyes tightened, and his fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table, "I'm afraid there is another reason for this." You go and check it again. ”

"For another reason, Yichen thinks that Xia Yuanxing's father and daughter were arrested together, and tortured to ask them what kind of wishful thinking they were playing?"

"Why are you still acting so recklessly? If it is really as you say, why did Xia Yuanxing delay time, delaying for more than a month before marrying his second daughter to King Yan. Besides, Qin Xiaoyu, if you deliberately approach, that person is also me.

This was definitely not Xia Yuanxing's intention, I was afraid that Qin Xiaoyu entered the palace by mistake. Xia Yuanxing had no choice but to let her second daughter Li Daitao marry King Yan. ”

Qi Wei pursed his lips, he was not reckless, it was called a rough and simple effective method.

The emperor said this, I'm afraid it's just to protect the eunuch, oh, no, it should be said that it is a fake eunuch.

I also saw that the emperor hugged her in, and she slept so soundly, as if she had been drugged by the emperor.

...
