Chapter 118: Seeing the Old Man Again
"What else does Rou'er command?" Mrs. Xiao listened and asked suspiciously.
Qingrou chuckled: "I promised before entering the palace that day that I wouldn't let you regret helping me, have you forgotten?" Now that I'm favored, how can I not repay this kindness? ”
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she was overjoyed, but she still gave in and said in a low voice: "Hey, it's all a family, what can not be reported, what I am more worried about is Rou'er, how is your body recently, but are you okay?" Tell me what else you need to do! After that, he didn't forget to stare at her lower abdomen and look at it seriously.
Qingrou smiled: "I'm fine, don't worry." After a pause, Fang continued: "The Holy Lord said that you Xiao Wangfu is loyal to the lord, loyal and good for generations, and has worked tirelessly for many years to protect the royal family. Now, although the eldest son is seriously ill, the second son Xiao Wei is brave and good at fighting, and he is actually a pillar of the country. Therefore..... The Holy Lord wants to give him the title of commander of the Imperial Forest Army, stationed in this palace to protect the health of the palace walls, and the official worships the second grade, what do you think? ”
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, her excited heart churned, and she immediately knelt down with a thud: "The saint is wise, the Xiao family is grateful, long live long live, long live." Then he leaned down and knocked down.
"Hehe, get up quickly, it's very cold underground." Qingrou looked at Mrs. Xiao at her feet and said with a smile.
"Eh, good boy, I really didn't expect you to be so good to Wei'er. I have always hoped that this child can get ahead, not always live in the shadow of his eldest brother, and now, he finally has his own use, my heart. :。 , and finally settled. Mrs. Xiao's eyes were a little moved.
"Okay, don't be polite, I said that if you want to return something, you will definitely return it, you go back and tell him, the holy decree will arrive later, let him enter the palace when he is ready." Qingrou interrupted Mrs. Xiao's broken thoughts.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell him now. However, I don't know if he can accept it, you say, what if he feels that seeing you every day after entering the palace is a kind of torture for him and is unwilling? Hey, this kid is also spoiled by me on weekdays......" Mrs. Xiao said suddenly with some concern, because she couldn't confirm what her son was thinking in his heart.
Qingrou was stunned for a moment, it is true that she didn't expect this, what if Xiao Wei refused to enter the palace? Now is the time when I need help.
After thinking about it, she reached into her arms and took out a square handkerchief, and a round kitten was shown on both sides on the faint pink satin, which was very cute. She handed the handkerchief to Mrs. Xiao: "You bring this to him, don't say anything else, I'm sure he will understand."
"Well, okay, that Rou Guifei, I went back overnight, this good news, I must have someone bring it to the master on the border immediately." Mrs. Xiao smiled and carefully put away the handkerchief, thanked her again, and left happily.
In the next few days, Qingrou used the excuse of spending time with her sister and rejected several invitations from Emperor Zhaocheng. Emperor Zhaocheng couldn't, so he had to stay in the Moon Palace. Concubine Li got good, and she no longer looked for trouble with Qingrou, and the two sides seemed to be fine.
By the time Qingrou saw Xiao Wei again, it was already a night a week later.
In the back garden of the Pearl Palace, she looked at Xiao Wei in front of her in military uniform with some shock, with complicated emotions in her eyes. Because of being favored, Emperor Zhaocheng did not stop expanding the scale of the Pearl Palace, and even the backyard began to expand civil construction, all kinds of strange flowers and plants kept coming, and even referred to the scale of Concubine Li, and built a special well for the backyard of the Pearl Palace, which looked even more luxurious than the one outside the Moon Palace, which also showed that the status of this Rou Guifei was extraordinary in the palace!
And the sound of the gardeners planting flowers at night still woke up Qingrou, she pushed the door and walked out of the Pearl Hall to see what was going on, but at a glance she saw the back of the great shore who was overseeing the work, so familiar!!
Hearing the movement, the back turned around, yes, it was Xiao Wei!!
"You ......." Qingrou looked at him in shock.
"Qi Yu Guifei, this is a rare variety of Fanbang tribute, called Tuberose Beauty, this flower can only survive if it is transplanted at night and watered with early morning dew, because the craftsmen can only start planting it now. I have already warned them to be quiet, but I don't want to alarm the concubine's rest, and ask the concubine to atone for her sins. Xiao Wei got down on one knee.
"Get up, I don't blame you, I just have something on my mind, and I can't sleep and come out to go around." Qingsoft and faintly looked at the man at his feet and said.
Xiao Wei got up, and the two of them were relatively silent, so they each turned to look elsewhere.
The florists finished planting the last tuberose beauty and stepped forward to report: "Lord Qiyu, all the tuberose beauties have been planted, cleaned up, please accept it." ”
Xiao Wei nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, go down, I'll check it myself." ”
The gardeners got permission and quickly packed up the tools and weeds and took them with them. Outside the Pearl Hall finally quieted down.
"I thought you wouldn't come again......" Qingrou looked at the man in front of her and sniffed.
Xiao Wei looked around, didn't speak, raised his palm and exhaled a gust of wind, and secretly used his internal force to extinguish the palace lights in the courtyard, and in an instant, it was pitch black.
"Ahh Whispered. At the same time, a whisper came from his ears: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
"Hmm......" Qing Rou burst into tears: "Seeing that you haven't come for so long, I thought you would ignore me anymore." ”
Xiao Wei took out the cat handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face.
He still remembers the scene when he saw Madame Xiao returning from the palace:
"Son, get up quickly, we entered the palace today and saw Qingrou!" Mrs. Xiao said happily: "This Rou'er, it's really good, although she is already a favorite concubine, but she is still thinking about our family, she and the saint asked for an errand for you to be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, responsible for the security of the entire palace, and the title of the second grade!" This time, our mother and son are angry, and my mother has to send someone to send a letter to your father! ”
Xiao Wei listened and struggled to sit up: "Rou'er, how is she?" Have you ever been bullied......"
"Hey, you stupid boy, you are now the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, calling for wind and rain, very good. Get well quickly, and the decree will be in a few days. Mrs. Xiao smiled.
"But...... Mother, I don't want to take it. Xiao Wei said suddenly.
"Why? That's a great thing, are you lying stupid?! Mrs. Xiao was a little annoyed.
"Rou'er is already a high-ranking imperial concubine, I'm afraid that I will disturb her when I go to the palace." Xiao Wei sighed.
Mrs. Xiao said in her heart, sure enough, her guess is correct, this child's heart knot still exists. At the moment, he took out the cat handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Wei: "This is from her, say you will understand when you read it." Son, listen to your mother, you have to take this errand! Don't you want to meet her? Isn't it afraid that she will be bullied? Do you think about your children? ”
When Xiao Wei saw the cat's handkerchief, his eyes were suddenly struck by lightning, he got up violently and grabbed the handkerchief, and held it tightly in his hand: "This handkerchief....... She still has it? And brought into the palace? Really...... She has my ...... in her heart Mother, you're right, Rou'er and the child both need me! I take the order, as long as she is there, wherever she is, whatever she does, I will go!! ”
