Once again, the situation was the same as it was today.
Small sudden enlightenment of the quiet, the king did not forget to explore the water.
Rong'er had been with the empress dowager for three days when she returned to the palace, and he had accompanied the empress dowager to soak in the broth of the broth every day. His life was also very relaxing, and to be honest, she had missed the life of the brothel for a long time, so she could finally distance herself from the palace and matters of the world as if it were a paradise.
On this day, when the empress dowager was resting, Rong'er had wandered into the palace out of boredom and had unknowingly walked to a small pavilion. Rong'er sat within the pavilion and called out softly, "Servants!"
A eunuch walked forward: "This servant is here. Young lord, what orders do you have?"
"Bring me a cup of tea, I'll sit here for a while." Rong'er instructed with a smile.
Rong'er sat in the pavilion and recited the poem she had recited to the emperor three years ago in the teacup of the Tang Family. All the scenes were as clear as if they had been yesterday, and she was truly gratified that nothing had changed, that the emperor's feelings for her were still as warm as before.
A palace maid carried a tray into the pavilion and said, "Young Lord, the tea has arrived."
"Okay, leave it here!" Rong'er turned back to look at the palace maid, and couldn't help but be startled. "Little Qiao?"
The palace maid placed the tea on the table and turned to look at Rong'er, saying bitterly, "Young Master Rong."
"Little Qiao, you … You were sent here? " Rong'er asked with his eyes wide open.
Sun Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and replied in a soft voice, "Little Qiao did not have Su Ya's good fate. I have the honor of being under your care."
Sun Xiaoxiao entered the palace with Rong'er after all, and seeing her in such a sorry state today, Rong'er couldn't help but feel a little sour, "This …" "Why haven't I seen you these past few days?"
"Reporting to Young Lord, this servant is in the tea house to boil the tea water, so Young Master cannot see me. Just now, Eunuch came to pass the tea water to Little Lord, and the palace maid who served Little Master suddenly had a stomachache, so Little Qiao came to deliver the tea." Sun Xiaoxiao replied respectfully in a low voice.
"You … How are you? " In the past, Sun Xiaoqiao had been so proud to be by Zhang Leyan's side. But now, in this remote and remote palace, she had become a rough maid. Rong'er's heart was filled with a kind of bitter feeling.
"Reporting to young master, this mountain is clear and beautiful. It's pretty good." Sun Xiaoqiao replied respectfully.
Rong'er said sorrowfully, "Little Qiao, is this your true opinion?"
Seeing Rong'er's expression, Sun Xiaoxiao slowly lowered her head, her eyes red as she whispered, "To be honest, Little Qiao is quite content. God has eyes, I've followed such a master, and I've done no less wrong than her. In order to please her and not be bullied by her, I tried my best to please her and bully Su Ya with her. Master is playing tricks in the palace, but I know, I have no choice. Master forced me to spread the word, I'm on the same boat as her, I have no choice. The more I know, the more I trust her, the more I can only help her, but I have to do something for her." Little Qiao raised her head and looked at Rong'er as tears flowed from her eyes, "When Master was being questioned, I thought that she would hold me back and tell me what I've done, but she didn't …" She didn't say anything. Before she killed the Emperor, he came and berated her for what she had done. He only begged the Emperor to spare her family and the court ladies around her. However, her family was still unable to be saved, but it was fortunate that we were not killed at the same time. We were only sent to the palace to be used as palace maids, unable to leave for the rest of our lives. "
Saying this, a smile appeared on Sun Xiaoxiao's tear-stained face, "But Young Master Rong, the heavens have eyes. Due to Su Ya's kindness, she received your care, and Su Ya stayed in the palace. And here I am at ease, really at ease. "
"Little Qiao, can I beg the empress dowager and emperor to allow you to return to the capital?" Rong'er said with a sour feeling in his heart.
Little Qiao wants to stay here, to atone for her sins. For the sake of my master, Zhang Leqi, and for my own sake, this place is truly a place where one can cleanse one's soul. "Xie Rong said in a low voice," But Little Qiao wants to leave, no matter how evil Zhang Leyan is, Little Qiao has always treated Little Qiao. Sun Xiaoxiao gently wiped the tears on her face and said with a smile.
"Little Qiao …" Rong'er called out in frustration.
When the masters don't come, we are all very free. Even if we go back to the palace, we will not be able to leave it for the rest of our lives, so I would rather stay here, far away from the palace's chaos. Sun Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Rong'er nodded. Actually, Little Qiao was right. The palace was also a place where things went wrong. They had to stay away from the palace, away from the world. "Little Qiao, it's good that you think this way." Rong'er looked at Sun Xiaoqiao and said softly.
"I've really been enlightened. This servant thanks young master for his concern. If there's nothing else, then this servant will be leaving first." Sun Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.
Rong'er nodded slightly.
Looking at Sun Xiaoxiao's back, Rong'er once again had the same laments as she had for the past one or two years. Nine years ago, they had all entered the palace at the same time, and nine years later, each had their own destiny.
Suddenly, the sounds of horses galloping could be heard from far away. There were quite a few of them, and someone was coming. Rong'er thought for a bit before sitting up and walking to the entrance of the palace.
He saw over a dozen horses galloping towards him. Not long after, the group of people arrived at the entrance of the palace, and on the black horse sitting at the front was a young man dressed in ordinary yellow forging clothes! Your servant kowtows to the emperor! " A crowd of people quickly kneeled at the entrance to the palace.
When the Emperor arrived, Rong'er happily walked out of the small pavilion and headed for the palace gate. Xuan Ye also saw Rong'er in the distance, and he quickly walked towards him.
"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty!" Rong'er smiled as he bowed.
"Rong'er, rise!" Xuan Ye smiled as he walked over and gently held Rong'er's hand. "It's been six or seven days since I last saw you. I truly miss you."
"Has the emperor come to visit the empress dowager?" Rong'er smiled and said, "The Old Ancestor is resting. I wonder if he has woken up yet."
"That's right, I came to pay my respects to my royal grandmother and also to visit Rong'er." Xuan Ye said with a smile.
"Then does the emperor still want to return to the palace?" Rong'er asked nervously.
"We have to rush back tomorrow. The war is in chaos in the south, and we have to go to the imperial court for a day!" Xuan Ye said softly.
"Chenqie understands. It has been hard on you, your majesty." The emperor was truly filial. Even if he left the empress dowager here, she still wanted to come and greet him.
"Alright, Rong'er, let's go in and see if Royal Grandmother is up yet." Xuan Ye led Rong'er into the palace.
As soon as Xuan Ye led Rong'er into the palace, a palace maid stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the emperor, the empress dowager has woken up. She invites you in." As soon as Xuan Ye arrived, the talkative eunuch palace maid reported to the empress dowager.
Xuan Ye nodded and gently released Rong'er. He looked at him and softly said, "Rong'er, come with me to see your grandma." Rong'er knew that there weren't that many rules within the palace, so he nodded and followed Xuan Ye into the empress dowager's room.
"Your Majesty, you've come. How is the Southern Wars Battlefield?" the empress dowager asked with a smile.
"Replying to Royal Grandmother, the Southern Shaanxi side has won a few battles, how are you doing?" Xuan Ye hurriedly paid his respects to the empress dowager.
"Good!" I have Rong-er here to keep me company. " The empress dowager smiled.
Xuan Ye and Rong'er sat down, and Xuan Ye said, "My grandson, according to the wishes of the ministers, released Geng Jizhong and Geng Zhaozhong, Geng Jizhong's brothers, and ordered Geng to go to Fujian to persuade Geng Jizhong to go back to his post. He also sent the son of Wang's assistant minister, Xi'an, to persuade Wang's assistant minister to go down. Xuan Ye replied.
"Mm, that makes sense. Your Majesty, let's do it." "Actually, This Dowager's staying here is quite good. She didn't even need a stick from the emperor to come all the way here. How tiring it is for her." The empress dowager smiled as she looked at Xuan Ye. One of the things she was more pleased with in her life was that this grandson of hers was truly filial.
"Royal Grandmother, it's not hard. Are you comfortable soaking in the soup?" Xuan Ye asked in concern.
"It's been three years since I've failed. It's so comfortable." The empress dowager sighed with emotion. "Actually, the country is at war right now. This Dowager shouldn't have come to Tang Quan, but I know that this is the emperor's filial piety and I know that this Dowager likes it, so I have to thank the emperor."
"Royal Grandmother, it should be right. Since the country is at war, this is something for my grandson to worry about. Royal Grandmother should enjoy Forlux." Xuan Ye said with concern, "Besides, my royal grandmother's old cold legs are easy to offend in winter. She would go and soak in the cold water, making it more comfortable in winter."
"What a great grandson. Wu Sanguan, Byrne, Geng Gongzhong, and others don't care about the safety of their loved ones. How can they compare with the Emperor's character?" The empress dowager sighed with emotion.
Rong'er softly interjected, "filial piety comes first. The Emperor is the emperor of benevolence and righteousness, so the world will also belong to the emperor. Therefore, the Emperor will definitely win this battle."
"Ha ha!" Xuan Ye laughed. "I am only acting as I am. I thank Imperial Grandmother for her praise, and I thank Rong'er as well."
In truth, Rong'er had always believed that the Emperor would definitely pass through this tribulation without a hitch, and the Great Qing would definitely pass through this tribulation without a hitch …
