Chapter 123 What to Remember
Five days later, in the Wei Palace, Zhuo Ruitong personally sent Xiaoci out of the palace, and Mei scrambled to lead the carriage and slowly followed him.
"Xiaoci, you insist on living with Lu Zisong's old mother. I have no problem with it. But in the future, whether it is the Lufu House in the city or the Wei Palace, it will be your home. If you have nothing to do, you often go back to the palace and walk around, huh?" Zhuo Ruitong stood still and looked at Xiaoci and said, "You have been helpless in the deep palace for so many years and can find your real home. I am really happy for you. When General Lu comes back, I and Huanxuan will definitely host the wedding for you. In order to host the wedding, I will also give you a rich dowry to make you beautiful. Do you think it's okay to marry into Lufu?
"Lord!" Xiaoci felt that her nose was a little sore. She hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Xiaoci lacks nothing, so she doesn't need anything. I just hope that the Lord and his wife can finally get married and live a happy life. Xiaoci will have no regrets in her life."
Zhuo Ruitong smiled and said, "How can you not marry? You are the person of my Wei Palace. My son-in-law is looking for a daughter. If you don't even have a dowry, won't people all over the world laugh at me for being shabby and stingy? As for the king and his wife..."
Zhuo Ruitong suddenly stopped talking, but laughed more and more mysteriously.
Xiaoci asked puzzledly, "Lord, what on earth are you laughing at? Did Xiaoci say something wrong, or do you think Xiaoci is ignorant?"
Zhuo Ruitong shook his head and said, "I'm not laughing at you. Don't be nervous. I just remembered what my wife asked you to bring to me."
Xiaoci's eyes turned, "Madam asked me to ask the Lord, but I would like to go to Jiecang Mountain to hunt ghosts with her. Xiaoci didn't understand. Why did my wife ask the Lord this? What's more, does it have anything to do with the Lord's heart for your wife?"
"Yes, that was when we were young!" Zhuo Ruitong stopped talking and looked at the unsipated morning fog at the end of the road. His eyes became erratic, but his smile froze at the corners of his lips for a long time.
"The maidservant seems to have heard my wife mention it, but what does this question mean?" Xiaoci was still confused. Originally, it was not convenient to find out the bottom of it as her, but Wei Wang's smile made her feel too curious. If she didn't ask, she didn't know if her heart would be scratched like a cat.
But Zhuo Ruitong seemed to have made up his mind to keep his mouth shut. He lost his mind for a while before turning his face and said to Xiaoci, "What do you mean? You will understand it in the future. Oh, in a word, thank you for bringing words to me, and thank you for your heart for me and his wife!"
Xiaoci stamped her feet disappointedly and said, "Well, the Lord and Madam are really happy secretly with the riddle, but let us servants in the clouds and fog, I don't know what to do!"
Zhuo Ruitong laughed so much that he coughed, "Cough, hey, okay, don't be angry. When your wife returns from the expedition, I will reveal the mystery to you, okay?"
Xiaoci put on a grimace helplessly, "Forget it, since the Lord and his wife have the same heart, they will definitely have a day with colorful phoenix wings. It doesn't matter whether we know the answer or not. I am actually happy for the Lord!"
"Well," Zhuo Ruitong nodded with a smile, "Let's wait for your wife and your General Lu to return. For us, the greatest wish now is to hope that they can return safely as soon as possible, right?"
Xiaoci thought for a moment, "Madam's expedition, can still be passed on by flying eagles, right?" In this way, can we receive their news at any time and know their situation?
"It's not that simple!" There was a trace of bitterness in Zhuo Ruitong's smile. "The deeper they go into the Beirong grassland, the slower the speed of message transmission. Even if we can receive the news, it may have been four or five days, or even ten days, so we have no choice but to wait for their real return!"
A trace of disappointment floated through Xiaoci's eyes, but it was fleeting. She nodded and smiled, "Well, I know. Thank you, King Wei. I still have this patience. You too, King Wei. You must calm down!"
"Okay, with you to watch with me, I won't feel long and difficult!" Zhuo Ruitong turned around and waved to Mei Zheng and motioned Mei Zheng to bring the carriage over. "Don't forget, I often go back to the palace to walk around. Now the palace is very lonely. Every day, Mei Zheng faces a group of boring courtiers with me. If you come back, there will be one more person who gossips with me, hehe!"
Xiaoci took over the rein handed over by Mei Zheng, tilted her body and sat on the car, and then answered with a smile, "Well, the maidservant will do it. At that time, don't think that the maidservant's mouth will be broken and upset. Then the Lord, take care of yourself, and the maidservant will go first?"
Zhuo Ruitong took two steps back and waved goodbye to Xiaoci. Xiaoci drove the carriage away from Zhuo Ruitong's side with a "driving" sound. His heart was full of indescribable complex emotions, which was not only sweet and happy, but also slightly sad.
Since then, she and King Wei can only become friends and masters and servants. Although she also knows that she and King Wei have always been two completely different people, because of the fantasy she has always thought that her life is closely related to King Wei. In fact, all the past is just her. It's just wishful thinking.
She put down this wishful thinking, as if something in her life had been pulled out, so she was sad. But if you think about it carefully, she has never got it, and how can she lose it? What's more, what she got because of this is far thicker and deeper than the hopeless emotion she is alone. Wei Wang didn't say. She has had two families since then.
Two families, two different care and warmth, two kinds of care. She not only has a mother, but also a husband who really has a heart, as well as a wife who is like a sister. She has become a king of Wei like an older brother. This happiness is so great that she is almost a little breathless that makes her happy. It turns out that, that It is a beautiful mistake, and there is another choice.
"This little porcelain girl is really. Before she comes out of the cabinet, she won't live in her husband's house first!" Mei scrambled aside and said with some envy and disdain, "The Lord is so generous. What kind of style is this? If it wants to spread, others think that the people who guard the palace are casual and unclean!"
Zhuo Ruitong glanced and said, "Why do you hear a strong sour taste in the words? After a fight, don't be jealous. Everyone has his own destiny. If you work diligently with the king, I will naturally not treat you badly!"
"How can a slave be jealous?" Mei argued with his neck and argued, "Although we are not as strict as the palace rules in the palace, we still have to pay more or less attention to it. There is no way to act with the subordinates. If the Lord wants to be so broad, the palace will not be in chaos in the future."
"That's right!" Zhuo Ruitong walked back slowly with his hands behind his back, "If you talk to your master like this, you have to drag it away immediately!" However, I am in a good mood today. As long as you stop nagging about the boring rules of the palace, I will not care!"
Mei Zheng was so scared that he immediately stopped his voice, but he couldn't help squeezing his eyebrows behind King Wei, thinking that it's hard to be a giver. The palace people still have the opportunity to go out of the palace and get married. The giver is really to give up all the vulgar things outside the palace.
Zhuo Ruitong knew that Mei Zheng was awkward, but as he said, he was particularly happy, so he didn't bother to talk about Mei Zheng.
In fact, on the trip to Jiecang Mountain, because the three of them failed to return home in time, their "inexplicable disappearance" caused chaos inside and outside the palace. In particular, Concubine Li found Changsunyi and Qi Kang and Emperor Suwu crying endlessly, and when the three returned safely, naturally, they were also angry. After asking the cause of the matter, even if Concubine Li asked Emperor Suwu to replace Zhuo Yuancan with Taifu, she resolutely refused to allow Yuancan to hang out with Zhuo Ruitong again.
Fortunately, Emperor Suwu was still wise and sober. As a father, although he dislikes Zhuo Ruitong's humble birth, in his heart, his feelings for this son are also very complicated. Among the four princes, only Zhuo Ruitong's boldness is the most like him. When he was a child, the boy with constant disasters is often the smartest, and often the most in adulthood. It's easy to achieve some achievements. What's more, Zhuo Ruitong's cheerfulness and mind are also the most in line with the heart of Emperor Suwu. Therefore, Emperor Suwu did not listen to Concubine Li's unreasonable troubles this time. Instead, he persuaded Concubine Li. Yuan Can's temper was too gentle, and he could just learn some independence and courage from Zhuo Ruitong, so the three of them were their respective fathers. After the relatives or mother's concubine closed the door to discipline, the matter was over. The three of them still went to Qi Kang's house every day as usual.
After a while, Qi Kang suddenly asked his students after teaching. The three of them had regretted the great disaster they had caused. If there were ghosts again, would they still recklessly go for adventure?
As a result, the answers of the three people were different. Yuan Can blurted out first, saying that he had regret and would never make his mother worry because he was greedy for fun again. Even Mr. Qi and Mr. Changsun were affected and blamed for no reason.
Huanxuan gently glanced at the two princes and pretended to be innocent and said, "Sir, it's not me who should ask. If it's not unfortunate to walk with them, it's not a disaster, but a real fun. Huanxuan's regret is to make his father shocked. If you move forward, you will not go with them."
It was Zhuo Ruitong's turn. He was silent for a long time before he smiled and said, "The fault is me. One person does things. The gentleman doesn't ask them, but asks me!"
There was a light flashing in Qi Kang's eyes. "Didn't I already ask? Just answer truthfully, don't talk about him."
Zhuo Ruitong looked at Huanying and Yuan Can and said, "There is indeed a little recklessness. If you go forward again, you should find a good guide and bring excellent equipment. However, there is actually no ghost in Jiecang Mountain at all. The saying of catching wind and catching shadows is not credible, and Mr.'s hypothesis is not possible, so please forgive Ruitong only repentance. I won't answer Mr.'s hypothesis."
Qi Kang stared at Zhuo Ruitong for a long time thoughtfully, "Do you mean that your regret is that you are not fully prepared?"
Zhuo Ruitong nodded, and Qi Kang asked again, "Is that what you really think?"
Zhuo Ruitong replied, "Whatever comes back is what you really think."
"So you didn't reply. What are you thinking about?" Huanwen interrupted and asked.
Zhuo Ruitong lowered his eyes and said nothing. Qi Kang looked at it in his eyes, so he stopped forcing questions. He turned to smile and said, "Ruitong really dares to do it, but it's a pity that you are too sharp and you still need to polish it. Yuan Can can take care of others. There is more than benevolence, but he also needs to know how to stick to it properly, huh?"
Zhuo Yuancan nodded repeatedly.
"Joyful ling!" Qi Kang turned his head and said, "Happiness can have both benevolence and determination. It could have been congratulated, but it turned out to be a female stream, so I won't talk too much about being a teacher!"
"Sir!" Huanxuan just shouted, and before he could complain about his dissatisfaction, Qi Kang had waved the book and said, "Today's class time has come. You go back separately. You have something else to do as a teacher. Please come tomorrow morning!"
"Oh, by the way, Ruitong, leave a step for a while, go to the study with the teacher, sort it out for the teacher, and wait for the guests in the study later!" Qi Kang's seemingly inadvertent instructions made Huanxuan's heart move. It was so strange that less than an hour ago, she went to the toilet. After passing through her husband's study, she looked in through the semi-open window. Her husband's study was obviously quite refreshing and clean, but why did she have to help clean it up? Besides, when it comes to cleaning up the house, you should also call her instead of the third prince.
Huanling secretly had more heart, but she didn't show it. She pretended to be ignorant and said to Yuan Can with a smile, "That's great. You don't have to do it today. You can go first!"
Yuan Can looked at Zhuo Ruitong eagerly, "Third brother, why don't I go with you to help you clean up?"
"Cough!" Qi Kang coughed and lengthen his face and said, "Don't you think it's enough to make trouble? It's enough to clean up alone!"
"Yes, I'm very fast alone, Yuancan, you and the girl let's go first!" Zhuo Ruitong waved to them as he cleaned up the table.
