Chapter Ninety-Three: Disguise
Mo Yunxiao looked at Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji always had a smile on his face, but he didn't say a word for a long time.
She couldn't see through his heart, so she became anxious.
"Why do you keep looking at me like this?" Mo Yunxiao finally couldn't help but speak first.
Zhao Ji paced two steps to a rattan chair, dusted off the chair with wide sleeves, and slowly sat down.
He still looked at Mo Yunxiao with an extremely gentle gaze, which gave people a faint warmth like the winter sun.
Mo Yunxiao also looked at him, as if she was caught by his gaze, like a whirlpool that swept her in mercilessly, like a black hole that adsorbed all matter, including light.
However, Mo Yunxiao would never precipitate like this. She took a step forward, breaking the silence that had held her together for so long.
"Official, you should make a decision." Her lips trembled slightly as she spoke.
Zhao Ji pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Helu, will you come into the palace with me tonight?" ”
"Huh?" Mo Yunxiao was taken aback. She didn't expect Zhao Ji to say this, and a strong sense of humiliation hit her heart.
"Official, please be more solemn." Mo Yunxiao's face turned red, obviously trying to suppress her anger: "As an official, you should take the world as your own responsibility." ”
"Come with me into the palace tonight." Zhao Ji still repeated this sentence, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
Mo Yunxiao was really a little annoyed and angry. A thousand anger erupted in his heart, igniting the pupils of his eyes.
She glared at him fiercely and said, "Zhang Dan's words are really right. The official family sat down, and the people's daughters were less accompanied. ”
With that, she strode towards the door. Zhao Ji finally got up and grabbed Mo Yunxiao's wrist.
Mo Yunxiao turned around and still glared at him fiercely, and said, "What does the official family want?" ”
Zhao Ji let go of her hand, but asked rhetorically: "Which of Zhang's words is not wrong?" ”
Mo Yunxiao glanced at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and said, "King Duan is frivolous, you can't rule the world." ”
"Hahaha......" Zhao Ji couldn't stop laughing. He smiled heartily, as if he was in the mood.
But Mo Yunxiao was even more annoyed, and Zhengse asked, "What's ridiculous?" ”
Zhao Ji gradually retracted his smile and said, "Tonight, you enter the palace with me." ”
Mo Yunxiao's pupils dilated, and he really wanted to punch this guy twice in the head.
But before she could have a seizure, Zhao Ji grabbed her hand again. "What are you doing?" She was taken aback and was about to withdraw her hand.
But Zhao Ji hurriedly said: "If you enter the palace with me tonight, you will know everything." ”
Mo Yunxiao's heart moved slightly, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Is there anything you can't say here?" ”
Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "There are some things that you have to see before you can make a decision." ”
Zhao Ji looked at her deeply, she was always a little uneasy. Mo Yunxiao's eyes flickered a little, and he didn't dare to look directly into his eyes.
"You dare to break into King Jian's Mansion, you dare to go to the Ghost Fan Tower, why are you so indecisive in my home?" Zhao Ji asked with a smile.
Mo Yunxiao also smiled bitterly and said, "Your home is a palace. ”
Zhao Ji relaxed Mo Yunxiao's hand, which was holding, and walked to the window alone. He looked into the distance, and the sounds of the street market and the crowd echoed in his ears.
"Ouchi is cold and cold, and it can't compare to the prosperity of this world." Zhao Ji sighed.
At this moment, Mo Yunxiao suddenly felt that his back was so lonely and lonely. Unconsciously, she also had a sense of sympathy.
She also moved her footsteps, came to Zhao Ji's side, and said, "Yes, the world is prosperous, and you are alone in the cold." ”
"However, if there is no cold and cold fall of me, where will the prosperity of all the people in the world come from." Zhao Ji turned his head sideways and said to Mo Yunxiao: "The same is true of the prosperity of the Ming Building. ”
Mo Yunxiao hurriedly avoided his eyes and said, "I am a grass citizen, and I dare not compare with the official family." ”
"There's no grass folk who can enter Ouchi." Zhao Ji smiled a little frivolously.
Mo Yunxiao immediately said, "I haven't promised you yet." ”
"Didn't you ask me about the Cao Gang and the Beggar Gang?" Zhao Ji paused and said, "Come with me into the palace tonight." ”
"It's ridiculous." Mo Yunxiao walked quickly towards the door, but this time Zhao Ji did not stop her, just watched her silently.
She walked to the door, but stopped. Unable to contain her excitement, she turned back and asked, "How can I blend in?" ”
Zhao Ji smiled. He came over and said, "At the beginning of tonight, I asked Zhang Di to pick you up." ”
"I just...... As you can imagine. Mo Yunxiao looked at him and smiled knowingly: "I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in the gourd." ”
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "In that case, you and I will wait for Zhang Di to come tonight." ”
"You are not allowed to release my pigeons." Mo Yunxiao regretted it as soon as he said this.
Sure enough, Zhao Ji was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Why should I release pigeons?" ”
Mo Yunxiao hurriedly explained: "I mean, if you keep your word, you can't tell me to wait for a while." ”
"That's nature." Zhao Ji said: "That night in King Jian's mansion, I told you that I would take you into the palace to talk about poetry and painting. A gentleman's word, a quick horse. I'll do what I say. ”
After he finished speaking, he pushed the door and went out, leaving Mo Yunxiao alone in a daze.
Her heart is still surging with excitement, the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty has long been destroyed in the war, and she did not expect that she could personally walk into this magnificent palace complex more than a thousand years ago, which is also a beautiful thing for a painter of Chinese painting.
She suddenly found that as long as she broke free from her prejudice against Zhao Ji, the joy in her heart could not be suppressed.
And Zhao Ji is like a very thick book to her, or a lantern riddle that is difficult to guess. She wanted to know him completely, to see through him, but there were always obstacles that stood in her way.
Quietly entering the palace this time may be a good opportunity to get to know him. Mo Yunxiao thought so.
That night, Mo Yunxiao had lost count of how many yawns she had. Her dark circles were already heavy, but she still sat in front of the lobby with her hands on her cheeks.
The sound of bangs outside the gate sounded again, and the shadow of the husband moved slowly on the door, like the effect of a shadow puppet play.
"Huan'er, what time is it?" Mo Yunxiao asked with a strong spirit.
Huan'er, who was lying on the table and had fallen asleep, was suddenly startled, sat up and rubbed his eyes, looked at the copper leak next to the account room, and said, "It's time." ”
Mo Yunxiao nodded and said, "It's time to come." ”
Huan'er was a little puzzled and asked, "Who should come?" ”
"You'll find out in a moment." Mo Yunxiao couldn't help but yawn again.
She looked at the wick of the kerosene lamp that was about to burn out in front of her, and said, "This lamp is too dim, go and change it." ”
"Oh, yes." Huan'er also yawned as she went in the direction of the inner house.
She had not been gone for a while when a slightly short figure appeared at the gate. This figure is a roe deer, and it seems that he wants to look inside. Mo Yunxiao knew that it was Zhang Di, so she had the intention to tease him.
Zhang Di held the lantern and knocked softly, calling: "Mo Yunxiao, Mo Yunxiao......" There was no movement for a long time, he pondered carefully, and said in his heart: "Could it be sleep?" Then I'll call the door louder. ”
"Mo Yunxiao! Ouch......" He had just shouted when the door slammed open, slamming the frame of the door on his forehead. His head ached, and the lantern fell to the ground.
Mo Yunxiao laughed secretly, but pretended not to know on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Yo! It's Zhang Neiguan, offended and offended, didn't hurt you, right? ”
Zhang Di snorted and said, "Mo Yunxiao, don't pretend to be confused, you are bumping into me, aren't you?" ”
Behind her hands, Mo Yunxiao pretended to look innocent, and said with a smile: "No." ”
"You're not telling the truth yet!" Zhang Di was even more angry: "You are so rude, how can I take you into the palace!" ”
Mo Yunxiao glanced at him and said, "Neiguan Zhang, it was the official family who asked you to take me into the palace, do you want to resist the decree?" ”
"You ......" Zhang Di was angry and said, "You don't use the official family to suppress me." I grew up with the official family, and my friendship has always been deeper than that of you. ”
Mo Yunxiao couldn't help laughing and said, "In that case, you might as well invite the official family and ask him to make you a concubine!" Hahaha......"
Zhang Di was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he pulled Mo Yunxiao into the Ming Building.
"Without further ado, you can change into this outfit." Zhang Di didn't look at her either, and put a package he was carrying on the table.
"Oh? What kind of clothes is this? Mo Yunxiao curiously opened the package layer by layer, and said as she opened it: "Could it be the clothes of the little palace maid?" ”
Zhang Di only stood aside and did not speak, like a angry child.
When she opened the package completely, she picked up the garment and looked at it, frowning again.
Because she couldn't see what kind of professional clothes it was. A navy blue coat suit. She has seen Zhang Di wearing "work clothes", which is by no means the set of clothes in her hand. And if you want to say that it is worn by the palace maid, it doesn't look like it.
"Hey! What kind of clothes is this? Mo Yunxiao asked.
Zhang Di glared at her and said, "This is Jingjun's clothes." ”
"Forbidden Army?"
"No, it's a pure army." Zhang Di turned his face to look at her, who was still confused, and explained: "It's the folk Yexianglang." Got it? ”
"Yakaro?" Mo Yunxiao was taken aback, hurriedly threw the clothes on the ground, and said, "That's not a pick...... Choose...... People who pick up feces? ”
Zhang Di smiled and said, "Yes, the person who picks up dung for Da Nei is called Jingjun." ”
Mo Yunxiao gasped, spun around a few times, and said, "How can this be true!" Treat me like this? ”
"Yes, Mrs. Mo has a beautiful appearance, and the official family is indeed suspected of being a beautiful woman." Zhang Di said sarcastically: "However, if you want to infiltrate this heavily guarded Inner Palace, you can only pretend to be a pure army, and there is no other way." ”
Mo Yunxiao turned his head, looked at him viciously, and said, "Zhang Di, you are a personal vendetta!" ”
Zhang Di was also a little flustered and said, "How can I have it!" asked you to pretend to be Ye Xianglang, that's the meaning of the official, how can I interfere? ”
Mo Yunxiao forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, stepped on the clothes a few times, and said in a tone full of disgust: "No matter what, I won't wear the clothes worn by those stinky men, it's really ...... It's dirty. ”
"Lady Mo and relieved." Zhang Di said unhurriedly: "Although this is the clothes worn by the Jingjun, the set I brought is new and no one has worn it." Moreover, the official family was also guilty, so they specially asked someone to wash it three times, and then smoked it with incense for half an hour. Mrs. Mo doesn't believe that she can smell it, but it smells weird? ”
Mo Yunxiao picked up the clothes and dusted them off in disbelief, then leaned close to the end of his nose and smelled it, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance of chrysanthemums.
Zhang Di yawned and said, "The palace is an unusual place. Mrs. Mo definitely doesn't want to tell the truth, so it's better to be careful in everything. ”
Mo Yunxiao thought about it, so she said, "Then I'll go change my clothes." Zhang Di nodded impatiently.
She took her clothes and pants to a cubicle, and after a while, she changed and walked out, standing in front of Zhang Di with some embarrassment.
She smiled shyly and asked, "Is it still appropriate?" ”
"Well, so be it." After Zhang Di finished speaking, he threw the little hat to her and said, "Take it and let me go." ”
"Wait." Mo Yunxiao came to the account room and said, "I left without a sound, I have to give an explanation to my family." ”
So she picked up her pen and wrote on the blank ledger: "I will go to work today, and I don't need everyone to accompany me." Just one night, tomorrow will be back. Don't read it, don't read it. ”
After she finished writing, she tore off the page, put it in front of the table she had just sat on, and then pressed it with a tea bowl, and then said reassuringly: "Let's go." ”
As soon as the two of them left, Huan'er walked out with a brighter lamp and said, "Girl, we just brought the store back, and there are a lot of things missing, and I have worked hard to find this wick and lamp oil......
She raised her head and looked, where was Mo Yunxiao's figure?
Mo Yunxiao looked at the tall wall as she walked. This high wall separates Ouchi from the people. The footsteps of the forbidden army patrolling inside the fence were sonorous and powerful, and it reached Mo Yunxiao's ears very clearly.
"Zhang Neiguan, where are we going?" Mo Yunxiao leaned in and asked.
"Donghua Gate." Zhang Di replied coldly.
"Isn't Xuandemen closer?"
Zhang Di stopped, looked at her sideways, and said, "Yes, Xuandemen is closer." However, the dung truck does not go from Xuande Gate. ”
Mo Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and a bad premonition rose in her heart. She caught up with Zhang Di, who was walking in front, and said, "You shouldn't let me push the dung truck in, right?" ”
"There's nothing else you can do." Zhang Di replied.
"I don't push it, it's too dirty and smelly."
"There's nothing else you can do." Zhang Di still raised his head and said very arrogantly.
In this dim night, the armor of the halberd in front of Donghua Gate reflected the cold brilliance in the moonlight.
However, instead of going that way, they went in the opposite direction. After walking for a short time, a little light from a grass hut was already faintly visible.
