Chapter 12 Throwing bait to attract fish

Xiaoci really doesn't care where to go. Whether it is Yongsheng Lane or Caiying Hall, it is not much difference to her. If she can choose, she only wants to go to one place, that is, Zhaoyi Palace where Zhuo Ruitong lives, but she followed Yuan Can without saying anything, because it was Zhuo Ruitong who asked her to go, as long as Zhuo Ruitong In a word, even if she dies, she probably won't shed a tear.

However, when she heard that Zhuo Ruitong and Xiufei were going to leave Beijing, she burst into tears, which meant that she would probably never see the third prince again in her life. What should she do? Without Zhuo Ruitong, how could she live alone in the cold palace?

For the first time, Xiaoci came to Zhaoyi Palace desperately. Regardless of what the people in Zhaoyi Palace looked at her, she knelt outside the palace and begged the third prince to summon her. She didn't want the embroidery concubine to be in Zhaoyi Palace at this time. She discussed the future of the mother and son with Ruitong. When she heard the news from the palace, she was very surprised that the palace was extremely **. Maybe Inconspicuous little things will also endanger their lives. When the people of Caiying Hall come to Zhaoyi Palace, Zhuo Ruitong can probably guess the reason, but the embroidered concubine felt frightened.

After listening to Zhuo Ruitong's explanation, Xiufei naturally remembered that the small palace man who was about to be killed by a cane in Yongsheng Lane, and she actually became a person from Caiying Hall. Xiufei sighed to Zhuo Ruitong, "Tong'er, it is rare that there is such an affectionate and righteous girl in the palace, but she runs so recklessly, if Caiying Hall knows Yes, not only is she going to get into trouble herself, but I'm afraid that she will bring disaster to us!"

Zhuo Ruitong knew that the mother and concubine was cautious by nature and did anything without care. Who let them inferior in the palace? Then he comforted the embroidered concubine and said, "The mother can rest assured that the people in Zhaoyi Palace will never leak this matter out."

"Well, that's good. I'll avoid it for the time being. You can listen to her intention before you talk about it!" The embroidered concubine said and got up and avoided the screen.

"Your Highness, for the sake of helping Xiao Nu in the past, please open it again and take Xiao Nu away. No matter where it is, Xiaoci is willing to always serve His Highness and serve for life for life!" Xiaoci knelt in front of Zhuo Ruitong and poured out the words that had been hidden for a long time. She thought that if Zhuo Ruitong didn't take her away, she would go back to swallow the gold.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhuo Ruitong thought that Xiaoci was just coming to say goodbye to himself, and he was very stunned by Xiaoci's sudden request. "You are not from Zhaoyi Palace. How can I take you away? Isn't it good for Caiying Hall? Although Princess Li is powerful, she is still good to capable and loyal servants. There are many rewards on weekdays. Why do you have to go to that bitter place with me?

Xiaoci can't speak, just care about tears. Zhuo Ruitong is right, but when a person can only tolerate another one in his heart, all the advantages and disadvantages can't be its advantages and disadvantages. However, how can she, a humble maid of honor, open her mouth and express her humble feelings to the third prince who has been crowned as the king of Wei. Love?

"Alas, I didn't say anything. Why are you just crying!" Zhuo Ruitong rubbed his hands awkwardly, for fear that it would cause the misunderstanding of the embroidered concubine who listened to their conversation behind the screen. "You cried so hard and let others see it. I thought what did you do!"

"In such a big palace, not to mention the warmth of human feelings, even the words and deeds of every day are also frightened and killing step by step. If the prince does not take Xiaoci away, the maidservant will have to die in this palace!" Xiaoci finally calmed down and found the most reasonable reason.

Zhuo Ruitong was silent. After being silent, he advised, "It's not that I don't want to open this grace, but I can't decide many things now. I don't even know what Weijun is like for the time being. I need to start all aspects. Just your identity, Xiaoci, you are from Caiying Hall. How can my mother and I have Qualified to ask for someone from Caiying Hall. With our current situation, we can leave Beijing smoothly and leave the country smoothly. If there is nothing unexpected, we have to rely on God's blessing. Please forgive Ruitong for being too busy and can do anything!"

Xiaoci stared at the old woman with tears in disappointment, "If I had known today, Xiaoci would have stayed in Yongsheng Lane at the beginning, which was better than embarrased Your Highness now. Since Your Highness refused to save Xiaoci from water and fire, then Xiaoci will say goodbye to Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will take good care of yourself from now on and longevity!" With that, Xiaoci kowtowed three times and said goodbye with tears.

"Wait!" The embroidered concubine suddenly turned out of the screen and scared Xiaoci. Xiaoci quickly crawled on the ground and bowed to the embroidered concubine again.

The embroidered concubine looked at Zhuo Ruitong, and then looked at the little porcelain that almost cried into tears. She gently said, "Get up. I have something to tell you in my heart!"

Xiufei knew that once the mother and son left Beijing, they would be like a kite with a broken line. They would sway alone in the desolation and cold of the north and work hard to support it. However, the appearance of Xiaoci made Xiufei suddenly have an idea. Isn't this the broken line? As long as the wire is there, no matter how far away they are, they can point to the situation in the palace. Palm, you can be fully prepared to deal with it before the danger comes. It is the endless people. God bless you!

In addition to knowing how to endure and preserve herself in humility, the embroidered concubine also has the wisdom of being a mother. For her emperor, she believes that her vision and decision are right. The palace man of Caiying Hall will definitely help them in the coming years, because Caiying Hall is The real threat of their mother and son.

The embroidered concubine promised Xiaoci that as long as Xiaoci is willing to endure for a few more years, once there is a chance, she will definitely send someone to take Xiaoci out of the palace, receive Weijun, and treat her as well as her own daughter.

At first, Xiaoci was still in tears, but she suddenly realized that now it was an opportunity for her to repay Zhuo Ruitong, which was a hundred times better than her role in serving the other party in Weijun, so she calmed down and after weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she struggled to agree to the embroidered concubine.

Four years have passed again. I don't know how many times she has experienced despair and hope. Xiaoci finally survived to the day of returning to Wei County. Speaking of it, she still has to pay tribute to Concubine Xuan. However, her betrayal from the palace will inevitably lead to the vigilance of the Empress Dowager Li, who has been promoted to empress dowager and moved into the Zhuque Palace. No one in time in the imperial city. After learning the most important confidential eyeliner, I really don't know whether this kind of relief is more happy or more worried.

Unlike Xiaoci's old things, Huanxuan is really asleep. Perhaps because she is too tired and anxious, the sleeping Huanxuan feels that her body is lighter than a floating leaf, as if she is suspended in a certain nihilistic time and space, without the world, helpless, rootless, empty and panic.

Suddenly woke up, and the sky was already bright. On a cool night, after sleeping for a while, he sweated coldly. Huanxuan slowly stood up and sat up. He turned his head and saw Xiaoci lying quietly. He thought that Xiaoci was also too tired and overslept, so he was ready to get out of bed and wash himself. Unexpectedly, as soon as the bed board moved, Xiaoci opened her eyes.

"Madam, you have only slept for more than an hour. Won't you sleep for a while?" Xiaoci turned over and sat up, put on her clothes and came to help Huanxuan. "You haven't fully recovered yet!"

"It doesn't matter!" Huanying put on his shoes and walked to the window from Xiaoci. Looking at the courtyard illuminated by the pure and transparent sun early in the morning, he said to Xiaoci, "I guess King Wei will come soon. Why don't you get up early and wait for him? Why didn't you sleep all night?"

Xiaoci sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid of quarreling with my wife, so I have been lying quietly and didn't dare to move. Who would have a good rest?"

Huanxuan turned his head and looked at Xiaoci's red eyes. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled Xiaoci, and put his palms together with the other hand to put Xiaoci's hand in his palm. "Many times, we have no choice. Since we have no choice, we can only put it down. Do you think so?"

Xiaoci Jingjing and Huanxuan looked at each other, "Can you really put it down, madam?"

Huan Ling smiled and said, "Yesterday, I figured it out. It's useless to entangle you. What belongs to you is yours. If it doesn't belong to you, you still have to stay away!"

"Madam, if you say so, do you accept Xiaoci?"

"This..." Huanxuan thought for a moment and said, "In fact, for you and me, we both need to adapt to a new life and a new identity. If we want to fully accept it, there is no way to talk about it now. However, I expect it's just a matter of time, because now I have begun to like the morning and evening of Weijun, so I don't accept it. Receiving is not the key to the problem. The key is that like you, I will never do anything to hurt the King of Wei. That's enough!"

Xiaoci turned her eyes gratefully, "With Madam's words, Xiaoci is also willing to drive for Madam and will never complain!"

"Well, that's good." Huanxuan gently patted the back of Xiaoci's hand twice. "Go and wash it first. You and I are unkempt. It's always difficult to see the master!"

As soon as Xiaoci went downstairs, she saw Nie Kong passing by in a hurry. She was not familiar with Nie Kong and was too embarrassed to take the initiative to say hello. She had to stop and stand aside. Unexpectedly, Nie Kong didn't seem to see her at all. He walked away and disappeared at the corner of the palace path. Xiaoci was fascinated by his back. In such a hurry in the early morning, what happened?

Nie Kong quickly came to the council hall in the palace. Several fully armored generals in the hall were waiting quietly. As soon as Nie Kong entered the council hall, he closed the door and called the generals to gather and sit together. After talking secretly for more than half an hour, he opened the council hall and sent them out of the gate of the palace.

After the last general, Pegasus, left the palace, when Nie Kong turned around and walked back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the shadow of the tree in the corner of the wall. Someone's clothes swayed. Nie Kong was motionless and did not see it. He still walked slowly to the palace hall. After counting the time, the discussion of the king of Wei should be almost over.

But Nie Kong had not yet walked to the hall, but stopped outside the leisure pavilion, because he saw Ning Tanger being accompanied by Wei'er, feeding fish by the brocade carp pond outside the leisure pavilion.

"I've seen Ning Ji. Good morning, Ning Ji!" Nie Kong bowed to the Prime Minister and said a polite greeting.

Ning Tanger took a few pieces of fish food from Wei'er's hand, and then threw them one by one. She looked at the groups of fish competing for food, and said back to Nie Kong without raising her eyelids, "Mr. Nie, take good care of it. Why didn't General Manager Nie go to the morning today?"

"Oh, King Wei ordered to go down and arrange other things, so he couldn't go to court. Well, I'm about to rush to the hall!"

"Oh," Ning Tanger smiled and said, "It's useless to rush there again at this moment. King Wei is about to go down. It's better for General Manager Nie to stand more. Look at how pleasing these red and white fish are!"

"Well, I'm not in a hurry to rush to the early morning, but to wait for the king of Wei to return to the king of Wei. However, since Ning Ji is kindly invited, I will stop one more."

"Alas, General Manager Nie has always been very measured and considerate. King Wei has you to be the general manager and military sshi of the Wei Palace, which can be said to be like a tiger adding wings!" Ning Tanger threw the fish food east and one west. The fish opened its mouth and swam to compete for the limited bait. Not only did it not make her happy, but there was an inexplicable sadness in her heart. People play with fish with bait, but what's the difference between people and fish in the world? It's just that you don't know who is the bait, who is the fish, and who is the bait.
