Chapter 50 Asking at Night

Sure enough, in the next few days, Zhuo Ruitong ran around the Goblet Palace after finishing his work. Huan Ying was almost the same as Lu Zisong's arrangement. He only needed to wait for the last list. Seeing Zhuo Ruitong coming every day, he was a little surprised, "The prince is very leisurely. Has everything been disposed of?"

Zhuo Ruitong was a little embarrassed, but it was hard to say clearly. He was half hippie and half serious, "Anyway, those government affairs are busy every day. It's better to take your time. If I don't talk to you for a few more days, I don't know when I will talk about it!"

Huanying sucked her small nose and raised her jaw in the direction of the leisure pavilion and said, "If the prince is really idle, why don't you go there to accompany the beautiful woman who can play music and dance? Why is it boring with me?"

Zhuo Ruitong tilted his head and thought, "Yo, what's wrong with the smell of this? I'm in the same door. Have I offended you?"

Huanying opened his mouth and just wanted to refute, but Zhuo Ruitong pointed to his nose and said, "Oh, don't say who is the same as me. No one can deny this. The same disciples are the same."

Huanying said angrily, "Who said I was going to deny it? Zhuo Ruitong, I want to ask you, what's wrong with what I said before?

Zhuo Ruitong sniffed in the air and said, "No way? Didn't you smell such a big smell? Obviously, it's very strong and toothy... sour!"

Zhuo Ruitong dragged his voice for a long time before spitting out a "sour", which made Huanxuan, who stretched out his neck and stared at him for a long time, suddenly blushed. "What do you mean? Who's sour? You, you think so, huh!"

"Can't you think about it? But I really smell it. Really, why don't you sniff it carefully?"

Huanying stared angrily, "Your nose is hopeless. Let's go, or the delicious food in the leisure pavilion is for your appetite. There is definitely the sour taste you like there. Enjoy it!"

The two of them are like this. Although they are so angry and ashamed from time to time, they seem to have returned to their youth. They are quick to speak for a while, but they don't need to be simple. At least the sense of distance brought by four years has been brought closer. Xiaoci listened quietly outside the door. He smiled silently and turned to prepare dinner for the two of them.

There are not many days when you can get along easily. In a flash, the list of soldiers selected by each battalion has been delivered to Huanying. After sending out all the summoning secret orders, it is almost time for Huanying to leave.

Xiaoci was busy preparing the clothes for the two people. Although Huanxuan repeatedly told her to wear light clothes, she also heard that the temperature difference between morning and evening there was bigger than that of Aojuncheng. She couldn't help but worry that Huanxuan's body could not stand it, so she packed more and more things, and she packed a large box for her.

Huanying was busy arranging the recruitment work in the major military camps after she left. There were many precautions that were not taken into account when the idea was introduced at the beginning, and he was worried that Zhuo Ruitong would not take care of himself. Therefore, he went to the aircraft camp again and called the generals of each battalion to tell them in detail. This party was reluctantly relieved and prepared for the second Early in the morning, I met Lu Zisong in Weijun City and went to Lingshan Palace together.

When I came back to face a large box of small porcelain, I couldn't laugh or cry. For the small porcelain road, I can't take a car in order to catch the way and share the joys and sorrows with the generals. I can only ride a single horse. I can carry up to two or three pieces of luggage for laundry, and it is necessary to use. After arriving at Mingsha Valley. , don't worry about making up for it.

So the two picked up the things in the box again, chose the essentials, put them in cloth bags, and were ready to put them on the saddle or carry them on their back. They were busy. Zhuo Ruitong also came and asked Huanying if there was any need. Huanying shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not a visit to Lingshan Palace. Don't bring anything you don't bring, so you don't have to worry about the long journey on the road.

"But you have to take this with you!" Zhuo Ruitong said and took out a small brocade bag from his arms. The outer brocade was twisted into a rope, which could just be hung around his waist. Zhuo Ruitong said, "This is a safety sign that I specially went to Fenglu Temple 20 miles away today. Wear it on your body to ensure you all the way!"

Huanxuan's heart moved, nodded gratefully, took the kit, and hung it on the belt around his waist. "The prince's gift has been accepted by Huanling. Thank you for being so careful. Huanling is outside and thinking about the prince's kindness from time to time. I hope it will live up to the prince's trust!"

"Don't say anything negative!" Zhuo Ruitong looked at the debris on the ground and sighed deeply, "Actually, as long as you are fine and can come back safely, there are Lu Zisong and others in the training of Mingsha Camp. I won't worry much, but in case you two have a headache and brain fever or something, it's also a big deal. You must pay attention to your health and don't get sick."

"Well, we know!" Huanxuan smiled and said, "You are the same. King Wei, you are in charge of the whole situation of Wei County, and you should take care of your health!"

"Unfortunately, Xiaoci hasn't had time to call the kitchen to prepare dinner. I'm afraid it will be served later!" Xiaoci embarrassedly spit out her tongue at Huanxuan.

"It doesn't matter. You are going to set out tomorrow. I expected that you couldn't be busy, so I called Mei Zheng to go to the dining room to stare at the cook and let them prepare a big meal for you to practice. It will probably be sent to the Goblet Palace soon!"

"It's so good. Thank you, King Wei, for being thoughtful!" Huanxuan quickly greeted Xiaoci, "I'll collect these sundries. Go and make tea for King Wei!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaoci is going now. No wonder, Xiaoci even forgot to make tea!" Xiaoci repeatedly blamed herself for fainting, hurriedly apologized to the king of Wei, and then hurried out of the door.

"This girl has been serving the Empress Dowager Li and Queen Zhen in the palace for so long. How can she become more and more incompetent recently?" Zhuo Ruitong came to Huanying with a smile, "Let me help you clean it up together!"

"When the girl is old, she will always think more!" Huanxuan stopped Zhuo Ruitong with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't help me with this. They are all things used by women. How can you let the prince touch their fingers? It's better for Huanxuan to do it by himself. It will be soon!" He said to pick it up quickly.

Mei Zheng really quickly sent dinner. A large table was set up, and Zhuo Ruitong and Huanying were filled with warm wine. Then they exited the door. Huanying pulled Xiaoci to sit down together and asked Zhuo Ruitong, "Today's banquet is not the same as before. Will the prince mind if Xiaoci sit at the same table?"

"How come?" Zhuo Ruitong said, "I practiced it for the two of you. How can there be one less person? Fight, and have another pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

Mei Zheng, who was waiting outside the door, answered, so she gave Xiaoci a bowl, chopsticks and wine cup, and filled Xiaoci with wine. Xiaoci looked at it and was full of gratitude and happiness, because for so many years in the palace, there had never been a precedent for the master to sit at the same table with his servant. She did not believe in the wrong person. The Wei Wang alone not only treated her as a person, this The respect she has never won is enough to make her willing to die for him.

The wine and coriander were beautiful. The three of them chatted and laughed happily. Zhuo Ruitong agreed in advance that this was a practice banquet, so he was not allowed to talk about business again. Huanxuan knew that Zhuo Ruitong was reluctant and melancholy at this time. Naturally, he had no intention to talk about business again, so he agreed, only idleness and did not mention public affairs. Things.

The Buddha in the capital palace is the only place where the three of them can communicate, but they are happy and taboo about it. Therefore, Zhuo Ruitong has to tell some interesting things when he first came to Weijun, as well as jokes because he doesn't understand customs and people's feelings, including the beginning and end of the conflict between him and Nie Kong in the roadside teahouse. Time has come to an end in a flash. At the wine table, Zhuo Ruitong was going to leave and let Huanying rest early. Unexpectedly, at this time, a palace man suddenly came, saying that the Empress Dowager Wei had invited Mrs. Ying to meet in the clean room.

Zhuo Ruitong and Huanying looked at each other in con's face. Zhuo Ruitong said, "Mrs. Ying has something to do tomorrow. Why did the mother see Mrs. Ying at this time?"

"I don't know!" The palace people who came to invite her were Xirou beside the Empress Dowager Wei. "I only know that Ning Ji went to visit the Empress Dowager this morning and mentioned to the Empress Dowager that King Wei came to the Liu Palace every day in the past few days. In the evening, the Empress Dowager asked me to invite Mrs. Ying!"

"It's Ning Tanger again. What on earth does she think of me!" When Zhuo Ruitong heard that Ning Ji had been to her mother's place, he felt even worse. He immediately stopped her and said, "Xirou, go back to tell the empress dowager, and say that Mrs. Ying has fallen asleep. When Mrs. Ying is empty, she will come to clean the room in person to say hi to the empress dowager."

Xirou opened her mouth and hadn't answered yet. Huanxuan stepped forward and pulled La Zhuo Ruitong's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good. It's rare for me to see me. How can I shirk it? It's okay. I'll go with Xirou. You can go back to the bedroom to rest first. Don't wait for me!"

Zhuo Ruitong said to Huanxuan with a sad face, "Then you should be careful what you say. The mother didn't know what Ning Tanger was provoking. If she is looking for your trouble, come back and tell me, and I'll make it clear to my mother."

"Oc's it, I'll pay attention to it. Don't worry!" Huanxuan smiled at Zhuo Ruitong and turned around and saluted Xirou, "There is a girl who leads the way!"

"No, Huanxuan has been in Weigong for so long. The Empress Dowager never said that she would summon her alone, but today she suddenly called someone over. Why do I always feel unsteadfast in my heart! Xiaoci, can you allow me to stay in the Goblet Palace for a while and wait for Huanxuan to come back?

Xiaoci looked out of the open door and Zhuo Ruitong, and nodded solemnly.

Huanxuan followed Xirou all the way and walked slowly through a moon door. It was a quiet Meilin. Deep in Meilin was the so-called clean room of the Empress Dowager Wei. Xirou reported outside the door and asked Huanxuan to go in by herself. Huanxuan stepped into the room, and Xirou closed the door behind her.

Looking at it carefully, the clean room of the Empress Dowager is actually similar to that of the Buddha Hall. In addition to a small Buddha statue placed on the shrine, there are also some incense candle stands and other things, and there are almost no other decorations in the whole room.

An old woman with a blue cloth shirt under the Buddhist niche worshipped the Buddha on the futon. If you look carefully, who is not the Empress Dowager Wei? Huanxuan didn't know whether to say hello or wait quietly so as not to disturb the visit of the Empress Dowager Wei.

When she was embarrassed and at a loss, she heard the Empress Dowager Wei say, "There is no place to sit in the clean hall, so the aggrieved eldest grandson will talk with the old body on the futon for a while!"

Huanxuan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager. Huanxuan, please the Empress Dowager. I don't know what the Empress Dowager is looking for Huanxuan?"

The Empress Dowager Wei turned around and pointed to a futon next to her with a smile and said, "Miss Changsun, just sit here!"

Huanxuan was helpless. Although he was not used to it, he had to kneel on the futon and worship the empress dowager. "Huanxuan is nothing. I only heard the prince say that the empress dowager usually doesn't like to be disturbed, so she has never dared to come to visit the empress dowager. There were many rude things before, and I hope the empress dowager can forgive me!"

The Empress Dowager Wei smiled and said, "In the past, when I was in the imperial city, I heard that the eldest grandson was good at teaching women. Unfortunately, there were not many opportunities for you and me to meet. In the impression of the old man, you were smart and cute at that time. No wonder the late emperor would like you and promise you to Zhuo Yuancan. For this reason, the late emperor specially did it in the palace. It's a small family banquet, and it's a generous gift, hehe.

After hearing this, Huanxuan said with a dark look, "It's all in the past. In fact, there is no blessing for Huanxuan to marry into the emperor's family? Even if you get married, there will be no blessing, and the family will eventually be ruined and lonely!"

"Isn't these things caused by the Empress Dowager Li? I really can't blame you!" The Empress Dowager Wei said gently, "Miss Changsun, I understand your feelings very well. No one can be relieved, but at this point, you should also be sorry for the change. For the sake of your parents, continue to live well!"

"Well, thank you for your concern. Huanxuan knows that she is now living for all the people who died in vain in the Changsun family, so Huanxuan will cherish herself and wait for the day when she can avenge her parents!"

Empress Dowager Wei nodded slightly, "To be honest, Tong'er was entrusted by Lord Changsun to risk saving you from the palace and leaving you in Wei County. I didn't know it in advance, but I, a mother, have always been proud of him, although I don't say anything about what Tong'er has done, except for saving you. Son, who else dares to be so reckless? However, being proud of him is one thing, and worrying about him is another thing. If your identity is exposed in the future, have you ever thought that the court would let Tong'er go?

Huanying was sad, "Huanying knew that she was an ominous thing. If the Empress Dowager didn't want Huanying to stay in Weijun, Huanying could leave immediately. From then on, she would hide her name and be far away from the king of Wei and Weijun, and the eldest grandson Huanying was really dead!"

"Alas, the old body does not mean to force you to leave. The old body means that if today's court loses virtue, it will lead to turbulence in the world, and the nest will be finished? Tong'er doesn't participate in any force, and I'm afraid others won't let him go, because after all, he is a descendant of the Zhuo family. However, the appearance of the girl makes Tong'er have no room to retreat, and she can only fight with the Li family to the end!"

"The Empress Dowager's words don't seem to be willing. As far as Huanying knows, the crux of Weijun and the court is not in Huanying, because even if there is no Huanying, the Empress Dowager Li has been guard against the King of Wu and the King of Wei. The reason why the King of Wu and the King of Wei are luckier than the former prince Zhuo Luan is that they are not in the way of Li. In the way of power, of course, it is only temporary luck. Once Wu Wei and the two countries become the sand that can no longer be tolerated in the eyes of the Li family, does the Empress Dowager think that Prince Zhuo Ruitong can be lucky again? At least King Wu didn't think he could be lucky, so he took the lead in joining the army!" Huanxuan didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Wei would regard her as the culprit who forced Zhuo Ruitong against the court. She was so unhappy that she couldn't help arguing with reason.

"Presumptuous! Tong'er saved you and left you in the palace. You don't know how grateful you are, and you also shirk all your responsibilities? So I ask you, what's wrong with the assassin who ran into the Wei Palace? The Empress Dowager Wei was scolded by Huanxuan and suddenly became angry.

Huanying's conclusion, indeed, she did bring a lot of trouble to Zhuo Ruitong. She can't deny this, but how can I say, she has also been helping Zhuo Ruitong. What does the Empress Dowager Wei mean tonight? Is it because she has never said hi to the Empress Dowager Wei? The Empress Dowager believes that she is arrogant and wants to give her a hard time?

"Why don't you talk?" The Empress Dowager Wei stared at Huanxuan sternly, "Young man, I don't know the height of heaven and earth. What's the use of being eloquent? As the saying goes, it can be of great use if you can't endure it, but if you only say a few words, can't you stand it? Can't stand it? Fortunately, you have just experienced the change of life and death, why don't you know how to reflect on the past?

Huanxuan turned pale and bowed deeply to the empress dowager, "Huanxuan knew that she was wrong. Huanxuan was reckless. Please give me more advice!"

The Empress Dowager Wei calmed down and calmed down before saying, "In fact, the old man knows that you are a smart and filial child who knows how to repay kindness. After coming to Weijun, he also helped Tong'er a lot. For example, he wants to borrow his birthday to enrich the treasury and increase military pension. He can also observe people and things and lead Ning Tanger as an old man. On the birthday of the birthday, everything you have done for Tong'er will be remembered in your heart, and you will never treat you badly. However, have you ever thought about your strategy, why didn't Tonger nor Nie Kong think of it?

Huanying stared at the Empress Dowager for a long time and shook her head, "Huanying doesn't know, please make it clear!"

"Although Tong'er and Nie Kong are smart, they are all kind-hearted and upright people. They respect the old man and the interests of the people of Weijun, so they take care of thin taxes, and they take thrift as the way of self-cultivation. They don't want to be more reluctant to take the name of the right path. Of course, the old man does not mean that you are not kind. In terms of the use of means, Miss Changsun, haven't you reflected on it? People have feelings and dignity. No matter they are poor or rich, people's hearts have been a word of benevolence since ancient times. Without this word, isn't the so-called righteousness and justice all deceiving the world?

Huanlingu has a fever. No wonder the Empress Dowager Wei has a prejudit over her. She is too eager to achieve success and only wants to use everything that can be used. However, as the Empress Dowager Wei said, in the use of means, it is inevitable that there is a small suspicion. But this is not the case. What should she do with the urgently needed military money? It's hard for her too!
