Chang Qing said: "Who should I use?"

I said, "Zhaoyi, Liu Li...?"

Chang Qing looked at me with surprise with wide eyes and said in surprise: "She? Why do you want to post in her name?"

I said, "The young lady is lucky to have dated Liu Zhaoyi's brother, Lord Liu Yi, in Yangzhou. Lord Liu told the young lady that their family rushed from Shu to Yangzhou in the third year of Tianqi, and then went up from Yangzhou to the capital. In the autumn examination that year, Liu Zhaoyi's father won the title and entered Jixian Hall as a Grand Secretary."

"Lord Liu Shizhou is the top scholar in the third year of Tianqi. I know, what does what you said have to do with Fu Badai?"

"In the third year of Tianqi, there was another major event in Shu, which was the erudition conference held by Fu Badai who gathered scholars all over the world in Xishan Academy in Shu."

Chang Qing said: "You mean, in the third year of Tianqi, Lord Liu Shizhou attended the erudition conference in Shu, and then went to Beijing to take the exam for the top scorer in high school. Did he have an old acquaintance with Fu Badai back then?"

I nodded.

In fact, Liu Yi told me that he was only ten years old at that time and had a very vague memory of that year. He only remembered that his family was already barely barely, but his father took them to Bashu. He then decided to go to Beijing to take the exam. However, because of this reason, the family was exhausted and the family was given up, so he gave Liu Saner to someone else to raise in Yangzhou.

I even had a faint feeling that Lord Liu Shizhou decided to go to Beijing to take the exam, including many of his actions later, were related to the fact that he went to Shu to attend Fu Badai's erudition conference.

"Although Liu Zhaoyi is Fu Badai's junior, it is most appropriate for her to post this post than others."

Chang Qing listened silently, without saying a word, and just lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

The light smoke rising from the tea bowl simmered in front of her eyes, as if a layer of mist was covered with the bright eyes of autumn water.

After a while, she turned her head and smiled at me: "What you said makes sense."

I lowered my head and said, "The Queen is wise."

"But, since you are from Shu, have you also been to the erudition conference in the third year of the Apocalypse?"

"..." I was slightly stunned, looking at the eyes lingering behind the fog, silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "The Empress was joking. At the beginning, the folk girl was just a little girl. What kind of virtue can she have? Can she attend Fu Badai's erudition conference?"

Chang Qing glanced at me, said nothing, and smiled slightly: "That's right."

I smiled, and after she finished drinking the tea, she went up to collect the tea cup. She was about to take it down, Chang Qing said, "You don't have to do these things. Just take good care of the eldest prince."

"yes."

"I also know that the eldest prince is very ill this time, and it is too difficult for you to take care of yourself, so I found two other people to come to Jingren Palace to take care of the eldest prince." After saying that, she gently raised her head to the outside of the door: "Come in."

I looked up with some confusion and was stunned.

The people who walked in from outside the gate turned out to be Ma Ma Wu and Shui Xiu!

When they saw me, their eyes turned red, but they still knelt down to Chang Qing in a regular manner and said, "I pay homage to the Queen." Their voice was also trembling.

Chang Qing sat down and looked down at them and said, "You are all guilty. Because the Queen Mother's support, this time I will transfer you out, which will give you a chance to make up for your merits. You must do your best to take good care of the eldest prince. If you have any dereliction of duty, I will definitely punish you strictly without lending!"

"Yes, thank the Queen!"

"Well, you guys go down."

My heart was beating, and I didn't know if I was laughing or something. I hurriedly stepped forward and retreated with them. As soon as I went out, Shui Xiu grabbed my hand and jumped happily: "Girl! Girl!"

"Shuixiu..." Seeing her happy look, my voice choked up. I turned to look at Madam Wu who was standing aside with a gentle smile. She still looked at me with such kindness, but said with some distress: "Miss is much thinner."

"Yes, mama, she's skinny." Shui Xiu said, lowering her head and pinching my wrist. She said, "I'm actually better off recently, but I still can't make up for the past two years. So she avoided this topic and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it was you, I'm so happy. Have you been doing well over the years?"

Madam Wu smiled and said, "Nothing is good or not. With old money here, we didn't suffer in the cold palace. We just kept thinking about you, this girl--"

She looked at Shui Xiu, and Shui Xiu's eyes were red and said, "Girl, I always thought you were really dead..."

I touched her face, looked at Madam Wu again, and said guiltily: "I've made you worry."

This time I was really a surprise to see Mama Wu and Shui Xiu, and I didn’t have time to think about anything else. Chang Qing asked Kouer to allocate a small room for us to stay in Jingren Palace. They forced me to tell me about my experience over the years. I only picked up some rough words, but it surprised Shui Xiu.

When I learned that I was locked in the cold palace for more than two years and lacked food and clothing, Shui Xiu cried and said whimperingly: "It's all my fault for Madam Qian, I didn't tell me at all. If I knew, I wouldn't let you starve no matter what. Look at you, you're so thin."

I just smiled and comforted her. Madam Wu kept listening quietly. At this time, she suddenly asked me: "Girl, the man you remarried outside the palace, Liu Saner, what's going on now?"

As soon as I heard the name that was lingering in my mind countless times, my heart felt like I was stabbed by a needle.

There is still a little indescribable sorrow in the pain.

I lowered my head and said sadly: "I don't know either."

"Does the girl still want to find him?"

"..." I said bitterly: "I want to."

“…”

"But I'm afraid of him and don't want to see me."

I recall the back he left me in the end, thin and lonely, but always stood stubbornly in the ice and rain, and finally disappeared from my sight.

How is he doing now? Is his life good? I have no relatives anymore, where will he go?

As if I could see my concern, Madam Wu patted the back of my hand gently and said, "Miss, don't worry too much, auspicious people will have their own appearance."

I looked up at her and nodded gently.

.

The night passed very quickly, and I almost didn't sleep much. Thinking back to what Chang Qing said to me, looking at Madam Wu and Shui Xiu who were close to me, I also knew that the next ten days would not be very good.

The heavy night outside the window was slowly stained by the milky white morning light, and soon the entire imperial city woke up from the darkness.

Today, the emperor and the empress are about to set off for Taimiao. All the palace maids and eunuchs are busy coming and going. Madam Wu and Shui Xiu also got up quickly. Madam Wu still used to pressing me to the table and sitting, helping me comb my hair.

After not seeing each other for a few years, everyone has not changed much. Madam Wu still takes care of everything around her as before. Shui Xiu still likes to run around. She just finished washing up and slipped out. Madam Wu gave her a blank look in the mirror and said to me: "No matter how much you suffer, you can't change it."

I pursed my lips and smiled.

But after a while, Shui Xiu slipped back and said while washing her hands, "Girl, nanny, have you heard of it-"

Madam Wu said, "What did you find out again?"

"I just heard that the emperor spent the night with Liu Zhaoyi last night."

"oh?"

Madam Wu raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and then subconsciously looked at me. I pursed my temples in the mirror. Madam Gui said before that the emperor has been very cold to Liu Zhaoyi in the past two years. It is probably true, so he summoned him once by chance, and even Shui Xiu and Madam Wu would be surprised.

It seems that Chang Qing has already passed all the words from yesterday to Pei Yuanhao.

Thinking of this, I sighed softly. Although Liu Li has always been indifferent to others in the past, I know that being willing to be ordinary is one thing, and being treated coldly is another. From her haggard appearance, she can also see her dissatisfaction. Originally, this time when she went to Taimiao, the concubines were not allowed to accompany her at the second grade, and she was also a little lonely, but the emperor suddenly came to her at this time, which was somewhat of a comfort.

I don't expect her to be successful this time, but at least the situation should not be too bad.

Because she is that person's sister...

After a while, the meal was spread outside. Madam Wu and Shui Xiu soon came over to have dinner. The people in the palace were ready and sent the emperor and empress away from the palace with full deeds.

We are now from Jingren Palace, so we must follow us to see you off. The vast team has reached the Nangong Gate. The emperor and Empress's carriage have been ready. Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing stood on the steps, explaining a few words to the people behind him, and then walked to the imperial concubine and Li concubine, and said softly: "This time I have left for ten days. You must take good care of yourself and do not hurt your heart."

"I understand."

His eyes glanced at the crowd again, as if he looked at me, and said, "The queen has arranged the matter for the eldest prince, right?"

Chang Qing said: "Yes, I have made arrangements."

"Well, Zhu'er, Rou'er, you don't have to worry about it."

The two of them lowered their heads, seemed to pause for a moment, and then smiled softly at the same time, leaning over and blessed: "Yes."

Pei Yuanhao turned around and was about to leave, then looked back at Nangong Lizhu and said softly: "Take good health and wait for me to come back."

Nangong Lizhu listened to his words, and the smile on her face was as sweet as honey, and said softly: "I know, the emperor should take care of the dragon body."

Pei Yuanhao nodded, then took Chang Qing's hand and walked down the steps and got onto the chariot. At this time, the eunuch in charge walked up and shouted: "Go!"

Suddenly, everyone around him bowed down—

"Give me a greeting to the emperor and to the empress."

With the congratulations from everyone, the emperor and the empress's carriage slowly drove forward, and everyone knelt until the carriage disappeared at the end of the road.

Seeing this scene, I had an illusion that it seemed that the palace had turned into an isolated island in an instant, with the island full of ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts. Only through the bloodiest and cruel struggle can I survive.

Ruizhu and Mingzhu had already helped their master up. When they both stood up, the talents around them slowly stood up.

I was standing far away and hiding among the crowd. At this time, I was silent. I glanced at the slowly closed palace gate and prepared to leave silently.
