Qi Zi rushed back to Hui's apartment crying, lying on the bed and crying bitterly. Cui Yi opened the door and came in, and asked nervously: "Qi Zi, Qi Zi, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that it was Cuiyi, Qizi hugged her and burst into tears. Cuiyi said softly: "Qizi, let's go and leave this palace."
Hearing what Cui Yi said, Qi Zi looked at her with tears in his eyes and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Tomorrow it's my turn to take a break from work. You can use my identity to leave the palace." Cui Yi said with a smile.
"Is that okay? What will you do if I leave?"
"Anyway, I don't have any relatives outside the palace. In the past, I just went out of the palace to see friends."
Qi Zi smiled happily and said: "Thank you Cuiyi." Then he thought again: "If I leave, will you be in trouble? Besides, will you be recognized?"
Cuiyi smiled and said: "It's okay, there are people coming in and out of the palace every month. Who knows who it is. When the time comes, you tell them your name is Cuiyi, and he will give you a talisman to leave the palace. As for me, if someone
When asked, I said that I have never seen you and I don’t know where you have been.”
Qi Zi hugged her and said with a tearful voice: "Cuiyi, thank you very much. Knowing you is the most important gain for me since entering the palace."
"Don't say that, I don't dare to take it seriously."
"No, no, what I said is true."
"I believe you, okay, now the most important thing is to pack up quickly. The vacation of the palace usually starts at noon and ends at noon the next day." Cuiyi explained.
"Why is it noon and not morning?" Qi Zi asked unclearly.
Cuiyi smiled and said: "This is a rule, and I don't understand it either."
Qi Zi nodded, and suddenly remembered something. She took out the silk picture placed in the cabinet and took out the embroidery frame on the corner of the bed. She wanted to embroider a silk picture for her mother-in-law, and she had to leave, so she could only do this for her.
Something. She fixed the silk pattern on the embroidery frame and took off the thread.
"What is this?" Cui Yi asked, looking at the silk picture.
Qi Zi stopped the needlework in his hand and said with a smile: "I promised someone to embroider a silk picture for her. Maybe I will leave tomorrow. I thought I would drive it out tonight."
Cui Yi looked at Qi Zi with wide eyes and said: "Qi Zi, such a large silk painting can't be finished in at least six or seven days. Even the fastest embroiderer in the embroidery workshop will take three days."
Or so, how can you get it out in one night?"
Qi Zi smiled and said, "I'll do my best. Cui Yi, go and have a rest."
"No, I'll accompany you."
"No, I'll call you if anything happens."
Seeing that she couldn't resist Qi Zi, Cui Yi could only shrug and yawned and walked to the bed. Seeing Cui Yi sleeping, Qi Zi quickly removed the thread, threaded it, split the thread, and concentrated on the needle in his hand going back and forth on the silk pattern.
She shuttled back and forth. What she embroidered was a cluster of autumn chrysanthemums, which bloomed, bloomed, and fell. The green leaves slanted gently, giving the feeling of being blown by the wind. There were still a few petals blown by the wind on the green grass leaves.
, a few autumn butterflies landed on the chrysanthemums, as if they were absorbing the last essence of the earth. The breeze blew again, and several pieces of flowers were flying in the air. Gradually, gradually, they seemed to be blown far away.
The red candle on the table had run out of tears, and the morning star lit up in the east. Qi Zi stretched and put away the last stitch, and a picture of butterflies dancing with autumn chrysanthemums appeared on the silk picture. She put away the silk picture with a smile,
It's getting light.
Qi Zi went out and fetched a bucket of water from the well in the courtyard, poured it into a copper basin, carried it into the house, and put it on the washing rack. Cui Yi woke up. She rubbed her eyes and said, "It's dawn so soon."
,Qi Zi, have you finished the embroidery?"
Qi Zi washed his hands and said, "Okay."
"Okay?" Cuiyi jumped out of bed and said, "Hurry and show me."
Qi Zi put the silk picture on the table. Cui Yi was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. From time to time, she looked at Qi Zi with suspicion. Qi Zi said, "What's wrong? Do you have any opinions?"
"Qi Zi, you are really experienced. No wonder the emperor wants to choose you as his empress."
When Cui Yi mentioned Xuan Yi, Qi Zi's face sank slightly and said, "Cui Yi, please don't mention him in front of me, okay?"
Seeing that Qi Zi's expression was wrong, Cui Yi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I won't mention it in the future. No, there will be no future. You have to leave today."
Qi Zi hugged Cui Yi gently and said, "After I leave, you must take good care of yourself."
"By the way, who are you giving the silk picture to?"
"She is a kind old woman. She is very kind to me. It happened that the embroidery workshop was embroidering silk pictures for her and she didn't like it, so I made it for her again as a thank you gift."
"Oh." Cuiyi nodded and said, "I didn't expect that there is such a person in the palace, so how can you give it to her?"
Qi Zi looked at the already bright sky and said, "Send it to her now, otherwise you will miss the time to leave the palace."
Cuiyi said nothing, just looked at her with a smile.
Qi Zi picked up the silk picture and said with a smile: "Wait for me, I will be back soon."
On the way to Jinyuzhai, Qizi was smiling, feeling that everything today was very beautiful. The bells of the royal temple were heard in the distance, and they were particularly ringing today. She jogged all the way to Jinyuzhai, and happened to meet them.
Aunt Jiang opened the door.
"Qi Zi, why are you here so early?" Aunt Jiang came up and asked.
Qi Zi smiled and gasped, "I've sent you a silk picture."
"It doesn't matter when you bring your child, why are you running in such a hurry?" Aunt Jiang said with a hint of reproach: "Quick, get in quickly."
Qi Zi smiled and nodded, walked to the yard and asked, "Mom, where is my mother-in-law?"
"Master has been a little tired these past two days, so he is still sleeping." Grandma Wang said worriedly.
"What's wrong with her?"
"It's an old problem. The imperial doctor has also looked at it. He prescribed medicine but it has no effect." Grandma Wang continued.
Qi Zi became a little sad, thinking of her mother in Ronghou Mansion. When she thought that she would be able to leave the palace and see Mother Yang soon, her face was filled with a smile again and she said: "Mother Jiang, this is the silk picture I embroidered."
"Is it suitable for you to take a look?" Qi Zi said as he opened the silk picture.
Aunt Jiang looked at the painting of dancing butterflies and autumn chrysanthemums, her eyes were so happy that she couldn't put it down like a wife of a member of the Communist Party of China. She said: "Oh, wolfberry, it is so beautiful. It is noble yet pure, and yet pure yet pure."
Danya, look at this butterfly, it looks like it’s about to fly, the master will definitely like it after seeing it.”
"Really? I'm worried that I can't embroider well?"
"How could it be? You are so ingenious, no wonder Your Majesty..." Aunt Jiang suddenly stopped her mouth, almost revealing her secret.
But Qi Zi heard it very seriously and held her breath and asked: "Mr. Jiang, did you just say that the emperor?"
"Your Majesty? Oh, you heard wrong." Aunt Jiang lied and said, "How could I say "Your Majesty"? This has nothing to do with the Emperor. I mean, it's really troublesome for you to send it here so early in the morning.
.”
Qi Zi breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be what he meant. She smiled and said, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, as long as my mother-in-law likes it."
Aunt Jiang was still looking at the silk picture. Qi Zi smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Jiang, I have to leave."
Aunt Jiang raised her head sharply and said, "What did you say?"
Qi Zi smiled and said: "I have to leave and leave this palace, so I am here to say goodbye to you and my mother-in-law today."
Aunt Jiang thought to herself: Will the Emperor let you go? But she couldn't ask, what is going on?
Seeing the confusion on Aunt Jiang's face, Qizi stepped forward and hugged her gently and said, "Mommy, Qizi really can't let you go, but this place doesn't belong to me."
"Alas." Mother Jiang sighed and said, "Child, as long as you feel that you are right, then just do it."
Qi Zi looked at her gratefully and smiled: "Well, it's a pity that I didn't see my mother-in-law."
"Don't worry, I will convey your thoughts to you, mama. You must take good care of yourself and don't let yourself be wronged." She looked at Qi Zi and said softly in a mother's tone.
Qi Zi looked at her gratefully again and said, "Thank you, mama, Qi Zi knows it, and so do you. I'm leaving."
Qi Zi walked out of the house and the moment she walked out of the hospital, Grandma Jiang said to herself: "Can you really get out?"
"Just let everything happen. You can't force it." A voice came from behind her. Aunt Jiang turned around and said, "Master, why are you up?"
"I heard what you just said. That kid Qi Zi is determined to leave."
"Queen Mother, do you think the Emperor will let her go?" Aunt Jiang asked.
"Perhaps she had some way to leave on her own, and the emperor probably didn't know about it."
"Isn't this an escape? If the emperor finds out, Mr. Liang and his family will be guilty of deceiving the emperor."
"Who says it's not the case? But I think Qi Zi doesn't care about Mr. Liang." The Queen Mother said with certainty.
Aunt Jiang asked in confusion: "Queen Mother, where do you start with these words?"
"Alas." She sighed softly and said, "Have you ever seen her mention Marquis Liang in front of us?"
Aunt Jiang thought for a while and shook her head: "It's true. All she mentioned in front of us was her mother. We have never heard her talk about her father. What on earth is going on?"
The Queen Mother walked to the table, saw the silk picture on the table and said with emotion: "What a clever child, he must have suffered a lot."
