Chapter Ninety-Seven: Marriage

The Queen Mother glanced at it casually and couldn't help but be stunned. She thought to herself: "Is there such a beautiful woman in the world?" It looks like it came out of a painting. ”

Mo Yunxiao bowed respectfully and said, "The Queen Mother is auspicious." ”

The Queen Mother beckoned to her and said, "Come here, let the mourning family take a good look." ”

Mo Yunxiao and Zhao Ji were both nervous, but they had to listen. So Mo Yunxiao moved over.

The kind Queen Mother took her gentle jade hand and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”

Zhao Ji was a little anxious, and was about to open his mouth to grab the white, but he was afraid that it would be self-defeating, so he opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak.

Mo Yunxiao also understood his embarrassment, so he said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the little one is just a small people, and only the Holy Family has to enter the palace, how can a common name stain the ears of the Queen Mother." ”

These words were extremely beautiful, and the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing. "Oops, she's still a well-spoken girl." This was said to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji smiled awkwardly and echoed: "Yes, yes......"

Mo Yunxiao naturally laughed too, and her beautiful eyes smiled into two shallow crescents.

"Then you ......" the Queen Mother then asked, "Which palace is it?" Well, I think you look like you just entered the palace, and which grandmother led it? ”

"Eh......" Mo Yunxiao's smile froze on her face. She hurriedly turned her attention for help to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji immediately replied: "Queen Mother, this girl is under the care of Mama Li of the Shangshi Bureau." When the fire broke out, she happened to bring mutton soup. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "As long as you talk a lot, won't the girl speak by herself?" ”

Zhao Ji was a little puzzled, why the Queen Mother's attitude was so contrasting, but it was really hard to say anything.

The Queen Mother got up slightly and said to Zhao Ji: "You are also tired, you must be tired from this unwarranted disaster today, go back and rest quickly." ”

"Whoa." Zhao Ji and Mo Yunxiao glanced at each other and said to her, "Why don't you step back together?" ”

"There's no hurry." The Queen Mother interrupted him, and also glanced at Mo Yunxiao, who was a little dazed, and said, "I like this girl when I look at it, let her talk to me more." ”

"This ......" Zhao Ji was a little anxious, so he had to say: "I'm afraid that this maid doesn't understand the rules, but will make the queen mother angry." ”

"No, it won't." The Queen Mother took Mo Yunxiao's hand and never let go, and said with a peaceful face: "I am happy today, and I should be forgiven." Go back to the palace quickly, and don't disturb us. ”

Zhao Ji complained bitterly, but there was nothing he could do. He looked at Mo Yunxiao, and saw that her expression was full of uneasiness and confusion, he could only smile slightly and slowly retreat.

Mo Yunxiao wanted to stop him, but finally didn't do so.

The Queen Mother looked left and right, and said, "There is no need for so many people here, let's all retreat." All the palace ladies responded in unison, and they all went, and the woman holding the scroll also followed the scroll.

Mo Yunxiao's eyes were always fixed on the painting, and when she saw them leaving, she even wanted to chase them over to take a look.

"You like that painting too?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Mo Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, the little one doesn't know what to paint." ”

The last two departing maids closed the door of the palace, and there was no third person in the huge dormitory.

The Queen Mother paced two steps and asked, "Girl, you haven't told you what your name is." ”

Mo Yunxiao was a little flustered.

If you report your name, you are afraid that your identity as a fake palace maid will be worn immediately. Because the name Mo Yunxiao is resounding in Beijing. The Queen Mother has probably heard it. But if it is deception, wouldn't it be a big crime to investigate it in the future?

However, in the blink of an eye, she was allowed to think about it carefully, so she had to reply: "Queen Mother Qiyu, the little one's name is Xiao'er." ”

"Xiao'er?" The Queen Mother looked back at her, and she lowered her head as if she was empty.

The Queen Mother thought she was shy, so she came over and said, "Don't be afraid, the Zichen Palace is on fire, and you were never afraid when you saved the official's family?" ”

"At that time...... At that time, the little one was only thinking about saving the official's family from the fire, and the others didn't think about it. Mo Yunxiao lowered her head and said.

"Aren't you afraid that you'll lose your life because of this?" The Queen Mother asked again.

"Little ......" Mo Yunxiao didn't know how to answer for a while. Indeed, this is also a question that faintly rises in her heart, why is she willing to risk her life to save Zhao Ji? Even if he knows that he is a faint monarch who has broken his country and lost his family.

"The official family is the people of the country, and if there is a mistake, I am afraid that there will be chaos." After she finished speaking, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The little one is unscrupulous, and I ask the Queen Mother to punish her." ”

The Queen Mother smiled faintly, helped her up and said, "Good boy, it's rare that you can say such a truth." If you have this merit, this pavilion cannot fail to reward it. You say, what do you want? ”

"Little ......" she almost blurted out: "The little one wants that picture!" ”

But these words were still swallowed back by her.

"The little ones don't want anything." She could only say this through gritted teeth.

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "You are a noble and bright person, but if you are not rewarded, won't the royal family be majestic and sweep the floor?" Why don't you let this pavilion think about it for you......"

The Queen Mother paced two steps, sat back in her seat, and said, "Is there anyone else in your family?" ”

"And ......" Mo Yunxiao thought for a while and said, "Two younger sisters." ”

"You sound like a Tokyoite?"

"Yes, it's the little ones from Tokyo." Mo Yunxiao replied.

"Since you're from Tokyo, why did you want to enter the palace to be a little servant?" The Queen Mother smiled and asked, "Could it be that something happened at home?" ”

Mo Yunxiao gritted her teeth and scolded angrily in her heart: "You check the household registration, there is still no end!" But he still said respectfully: "The small family was originally in business, but then the business was not good, so I had to sell the family property." ”

"Oh." The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said, "It's a poor person." It's also strange that whoever comes into the palace is not a poor person. ”

Mo Yunxiao only lowered her head and did not speak.

The Queen Mother looked at her and continued: "Since you are a meritorious person, this pavilion cannot treat you badly. In this way, Ming'er Benge will ask the official family to issue an order to reward you with the status of a talented person, can you be happy? ”

"What?" An inexplicable sense of absurdity hit Mo Yunxiao's heart. But as soon as she said this, she felt that it was wrong, and immediately knelt down and said, "Little rudeness, please forgive the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother didn't intend to pursue her rudeness, but just smiled and said: "It's okay, this pavilion is an easy-going person, I haven't been in the palace for a long time, and you have made great contributions, and this pavilion doesn't care about you." However, in the future, you can be cautious in your words and deeds in this palace. ”

Mo Yunxiao choked up a little and shouted: "Queen Mother! ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Don't thank me, this is your deserved reward, get up quickly." ”

"Queen Mother!" Mo Yunxiao was even more anxious, and said, "Ask the Queen Mother to be merciful and forgive the little one!" ”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother was a little puzzled and couldn't help asking, "What?" Do you think the grade of talent is too low? ”

"No, no, no!" Mo Yunxiao hurriedly shook her hands and said: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, the little one has a marriage contract with others in the people, and the Queen Mother's good intentions are only afraid that the little one will not be blessed." ”

After she finished speaking, she swallowed her head, but she was indignant in her heart: "Damn, I haven't kowtowed to anyone in my life, but I gave you a snort first." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "What should I be, it's you who has withdrawn from the civil marriage contract." Since you have entered the palace, you are a royal person, and your unmarried husband can't take care of it. ”

"Oh, this can't help the Queen Mother!" Mo Yunxiao became more and more panicked, could it be that she was really going to marry Zhao Ji, and she was still a mere talent? That's not suffocating to death!

The Queen Mother thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "What you said is reasonable, if you insist on asking you to withdraw from the marriage, it will seem that the royal family is arrogant." ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "Exactly, it's still the Queen Mother." ”

"Well, then reward your husband's family with some money." The Queen Mother said: "I don't know if he has a reputation? If not, give him a petty official, and there is no one who refuses. ”

"Ahh Mo Yunxiao's eyes were like a lamp that went out, losing its brilliance.

"None of the men in the world want to enter the court as officials, and none of the women in the world want to marry into the royal family." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's just that the daughter's family should be reserved, and this pavilion understands." Tomorrow, the Japanese cabinet will tell the official family, this is the meaning of this cabinet, so you will take care of your face. ”

"The Queen Mother is indeed thoughtful, but ......" Mo Yunxiao still wanted to fight: "The little one has never thought of marrying an official family." ”

"I didn't dare to think about it before, but I can think about it today." The Queen Mother bowed slightly, covered her mouth with her hand and yawned and said: "The pavilion is also tired, you go down to rest, Ming'er will listen to the letter." ”

"Queen Mother......" Before Mo Yunxiao could say anything, the Queen Mother waved her hand at her and motioned for her to go out.

Mo Yunxiao really couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to get up and leave.

She walked out of the queen mother's dormitory, a team of patrolling eunuchs first shook in front of her, and then the two palace maids covered their mouths and smiled.

When she looked at it again, it turned out that Zhang Di was also there. He was telling a joke, making the two palace maids laugh from ear to ear.

When the two palace maids saw her come out, they immediately stopped laughing, and they couldn't even see a crow's feet on one face. They rolled their eyes and walked away in a huff.

Mo Yunxiao looked at their departing backs, walked over and asked Zhang Di, "What's wrong with them?" ”

"What's wrong? I am jealous that you have been favored by the Holy Grace! Zhang Di looked left and right, immediately grabbed Mo Yunxiao's arm and ran out.

Mo Yunxiao hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”

"I'm going to send you out, do you want to spend the night here!" Zhang Di pulled her and said as she ran.

"But the Queen Mother said......" "Don't take anything the Queen Mother says seriously, unless you really want to stay here and be a servant."

Since Zhang Di has something to say here, Mo Yunxiao is silent. She really didn't want to stay in this depressed palace for long.

Because of the fire in Zichen Hall this night, everyone's attention was focused on that side. So Zhang Di took Mo Yunxiao to trot all the way and no one noticed.

It wasn't until they came to a corner on the edge of Donghua Gate that Mo Yunxiao suddenly saw the smell of Ye Xianglang again.

She looked at it, and sure enough, it was them again.

Yexianglang came slowly pushing the dung cart, and the leader handed Zhang Di a suit of clothes and said, "Zhang Neiguan, it's here." ”

Zhang Di handed the clothes to Mo Yunxiao again and said, "The old rule, change into it, and push the car out." ”

"Another cart?" Mo Yunxiao pinched her nose and said with a disgusted expression.

Zhang Di was a little impatient and said, "What can you do without a cart?" The guards guarding the door have to be counted, and how can there be one less person? ”

Mo Yunxiao reluctantly took the clothes, glanced at everyone and said, "Are you just watching me change my clothes?" ”

"Yes, yes, my daughter's family, we have avoided it." The night fragrant lang all turned around and walked away.

"Alas, there are so many problems." Zhang Di also complained, and also went away.

Mo Yunxiao was embarrassed, but she had to change her clothes. Then, she followed the convoy of Ye Xianglang and pushed the cart in the direction of Donghua Gate.

She thought that the cart she was pushing was also full of filth, but when she pushed it, she found that the weight had not increased, and the burden on her heart was inevitably a little lighter.

However, the more the car was pushed, the more it was hard, and the more it was pushed, the more my arm was sore. Fortunately, the guards did not check this time, so they did not pause and went out of Donghua Gate in one breath.

She pushed open the door of the tea building and saw that Huan'er had fallen asleep on the table. She tiptoed inside, but her leg accidentally knocked over a chair. With a "bang", Huan'er was awakened.

"Girl!" Huan'er screamed, Mo Yunxiao smiled awkwardly, and said, "I didn't want to disturb you." ”

Huan'er rubbed her eyes, came over and took Mo Yunxiao's hand and asked, "Girl, where have you been?" ”

"Alas, it's hard to put into words." Mo Yunxiao smiled bitterly and told Huan'er all about her fantasy experience this night.

The more Huan'er listened, the more frightened she felt, and when she heard it, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim: "The Queen Mother gives marriage!" How can this be excused! ”

"Alas!" Mo Yunxiao also sighed and said, "I also have a headache, I really don't know what to do." ”

"He ...... the official," Huan'er said with some doubts.

"He? Hum! He couldn't ask for it! Mo Yunxiao said angrily: "He is a merry man, he only wants to recruit all the women in the world to the palace and be raised by a finch and a cat." ”

"Yes, all men in the world are like this, even His Royal Highness King Jian ...... him," Huan'er said, unable to hold back her tears.

Mo Yunxiao hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't be nostalgic for that person anymore, although that person is bright on the outside, he is really dirty on the inside." ”

"But he saved Cheng Yu."

"He also killed Cheng Yu with his own hands." Mo Yunxiao retorted unceremoniously, paused, and said, "He's PUA you, do you understand?" ”

Huan'er was confused for a while and asked, "What is PUA?" ”

"It's the manipulation of people's hearts." Mo Yunxiao explained: "He breaks your self-esteem and makes you obey him unconditionally, so as to achieve his goal of giving and taking. Such a person is a heinous sin. Don't say it's you, even I almost fell in his way. In the future, it's time to keep your eyes open. ”

Huan'er nodded tearfully, and said with a forced smile: "Girl, let's not talk about him." I went to fetch water to wash the girl's face. ”

She got up and left. Mo Yunxiao didn't stop her. She knew that Huan'er was looking for a place to cry and cry out all the depression in her heart.

"What a poor girl." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Zhao Ji again: "They are brothers, so will he be the same as him?" ”
