Pour the glass

"Mo Luo, you have worked hard tonight, you should take your clansmen down to rest."

Finally returned to Hanxi Pass, inside the stone hall, A Ling signaled to Mo Luo that he could retreat first.

"promise."

Seeing Mo Luo leave the stone hall, Ah Ling remembered that Ziyuan was still in the stone hall. She glanced at Ziyuan, only to feel her cheeks blushing slightly, "You... you also go to rest."

"Okay!" Ziyuan smiled and walked to the door of the stone hall, but closed the door of the stone hall, as if she didn't intend to go out.

A Ling's face darkened and said: "Smelly girl, what do you mean?"

"Hanxiguan is full of rough guys. I am the ninth girl of the Xue family. Where do you want me to sleep? If I sleep until midnight and get molested, I won't be the only one who suffers."

"Who dares to touch your nine daughters of the Xue family?"

"There are a lot of people who want to touch me." Ziyuan said as she walked over, picked up a pillow and walked to the side of the couch, and said with a smile, "I remember you once said that if you are not a son-in-law, you can't sleep in your bed. Now I'm afraid it's not the emperor's husband, let alone get into your bed, so I'll just take a nap here, and you can rest assured to sleep over there." After finishing speaking, Ziyuan blinked her right eye, and put the pillow on the couch for a while. Throwing, fell down and fell asleep.

"you……"

Ah Ling knew that she couldn't speak for her, but after thinking about it, some of what she said was indeed reasonable, so she walked to the bedside in silence, closed her clothes and got under the quilt, closed her eyes and prepared to rest for a while.

She usually falls asleep very lightly, and the slightest sound can wake her up from her sleep.

Even if there was one more person in the room, she wouldn't be able to sleep.

But I don't know why, today this stinky girl's voice was obviously louder than other women, but Ah Ling felt extraordinarily at ease, and fell asleep after closing his eyes for a long time.

In the dream, Ah Ling saw some people who had already left, but among the thousands, the one she felt most sorry for was that gentle mother concubine.

"Concubine Mu...I'm sorry...I failed to protect Xia'er...I failed to protect her well..."

"Xue'er, don't cry."

The gentle concubine mother hugged her into her arms, but she was sobbing and couldn't stop at all.

"Mother Concubine...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Over and over again, the only words she could say were these three words, but every time she said them, the guilt in her heart deepened.

The ravings in her dream had already woken up Zi Yuan who was on the side couch. She tiptoed to the bedside, squatted beside her, stared at her blankly, feeling a little pain in her heart.

She had seen this kind of Ah Ling in her memory. On the day of Drunk Tonight, when she released Liu Ying to make her happy, what she saw was Ah Ling who was sobbing with tears all over his face.

Listening to her ravings, Ziyuan thought of Princess Queyu, whom she saw yesterday on the top of the city, she was clearly a direct sister, but the first sentence she said when they met was "Why are you still alive?" How could Ah Ling really be happy?

Tears slipped down from the corners of Ah Ling's eyes, Ziyuan felt her heart tighten suddenly, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe her tears, but woke her up from the nightmare.

Ah Ling suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her hand tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Stinky girl, I warn you, don't come close to me again!" The tears were still wet, and there was clearly reluctance in his eyes, but he forced himself to take the child in front of him. Iris pushed away.

Ziyuan looked a little sad, "What if I don't obey you?"

"You..." Ah Ling pulled out her hand and grabbed her throat, "I won't allow you to come near me again!"

Ziyuan shook her head and smiled lightly: "In my heart, it's not the Queen of Jin who I'm close to, but Ah Ling. I want to take good care of Ah Ling in the next 20 years."

"I...I don't..."

"Princess Xuanhua is right. Once some people miss it, they will never see it again." Zi Yuan suddenly held her cheek, "So I don't care if you are rare or not. Sister Guo has to take good care of you, and I told myself, I have to take good care of you, don’t let the past 20 years go to waste.”

"You..." The hands pinching Zi Yuan's throat dropped limply, A Ling couldn't believe what he heard.

Ziyuan's usual sly smile appeared again, "What's wrong with me?" In the smile, A Ling's eyes suddenly ignited, "I'm well-behaved, I didn't crawl around Her Majesty's bed can't be regarded as deceiving the emperor!"

"Guji-"

A sudden voice sounded.

Ziyuan smiled secretly, and said: "I'm going to starve to death, look at my stomach, I'm so hungry, I'd better find something to eat first."

Ah Ling said in a cold voice with some embarrassment: "Then why don't you go!"

"promise!"

Ziyuan smiled and left the stone hall, and ran straight to the cook camp.

"Huh? Princess Sparrow Feather?"

Zi Yuan just walked into the cook camp, and saw Princess Que Yu busy inside, as if she was doing something to eat.

When Princess Queyu saw Ziyuan approaching, she said coolly, "Miss Xue Jiu saw that I was here, but she didn't show respect. Do you know that this is a crime?"

Ziyuan quickly clasped her fists and said: "The daughter of the people is really rude, please forgive me, Your Royal Highness." Then, she probed over, glanced at the gruel that Princess Queyu was cooking, took a sip carefully, and said, "It smells so good !"

Princess Queyu's complexion darkened, and she hurriedly pushed Ziyuan, "This is what I'm going to cook for Huangjie, you folk girl, stay away, don't spoil Huangjie's imperial meal!"

"Minister, I remember. You told Your Majesty why you are still alive? The implication is that you don't want to see Your Majesty alive. Tsk tsk, why do you suddenly think of making imperial meals for Your Majesty?"

Ziyuan's words hit Princess Queyu's mind, Princess Queyu stared in shock, and said fiercely: "Miss Xue Jiu, this is a matter between us sisters, it's not your turn to talk too much here!"

Ziyuan pretended to be frightened and took a step back, "Your Highness, don't be angry, the girl is just asking casually, casually." As she spoke, she glanced at the gruel again, "It's a coincidence , Minnv is also here to make breakfast for His Majesty, she is really in a bad condition, maybe she has suffered from only eating porridge for many years." Saying that, Zi Yuan rolled up her sleeves and looked at the tent with a smile The leader of the gang, "General, do you have any noodles here?"

"Miss Xue Jiu, the noodles and rice are here, you can use them." The gang leader smiled and pointed to a sack by the stove, and then pointed to the corner where the vegetables were piled up, "There are seasonal vegetables over there, but Mr. Xue It has just been delivered, Miss Xue Jiu can use fresh ingredients to make breakfast for His Majesty."

"Thank you, brother!" Ziyuan nodded and smiled, suddenly thought of something, and coughed twice, "I have a habit of making things, and I don't like others to stare at me, so..."

Princess Queyu looked at Ziyuan coldly, "What, why don't you let me be here?"

"How dare you?" Ziyuan smiled apologetically, and said to the guys in the tent, "Please let the little girl go for a while, okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

"Thank you, here is some silver, thank you all in advance." As she spoke, Ziyuan took out a silver ingot from her bosom, and handed it to the guy just now. I'm the one who will give you some extra military pay."

"Haha, thank you Miss Xue Jiu!"

Seeing the leader of the tent retreat, how could Princess Queyu not know that this is Ziyuan deliberately dismissing them, and she must have something to say.

"What do you want to say to Bengong?"

"It's just what I said just now. Your Majesty has only eaten gruel for many years, and his body is really thin." Ziyuan deliberately moved closer to Princess Queyu, "Actually, the title of Princess Huangling is not good. It's like marrying into the National Teacher's Mansion. It’s actually not a good feeling, doesn’t the princess think?”

Princess Queyu didn't answer, but just looked at Ziyuan coldly, "I'm afraid Miss Xue Jiu shouldn't say these words, how does this palace get along with the master and his wife, what does it have to do with you?"

Ziyuan shook her head, and said, "I don't know if Your Highness the Princess has discovered something, but women always find it strange after thinking about it." As she said that, Ziyuan glanced at Princess Queyu, "Why does everyone marry into a national teacher? All the princesses in the mansion will die of dystocia? Think about it, princess, aren't you afraid?"

"you……"

"Hey! Minnen is not the princess of the curse. There is still one thing I don't understand." Ziyuan walked to the side of the vegetables, picked up a cabbage, peeled off a few petals, and washed it in the basin. "Why did you choose cabbage? For Princess Huangling, she must not eat meat for many years, and she must be clean, just like the dishes in the hands of the folk girls, they must be washed clean, it feels like being sent to the National Teacher's Mansion to be eaten, you Say, does it look like it?"

Princess Queyu's body shook violently.

"Could it be that there are eccentricities in the entire lineage of the National Teacher's Mansion, and they like clean women." Ziyuan said, looking at Princess Queyu, "Princess, be careful, this man has eccentricities, and the one who hurts is the daughter after all." body."

"You...don't say it..."

"I heard from my mother that she met the princess and concubine back then. She was a gentle and amiable beauty. She couldn't figure out why she would suddenly assassinate the national teacher?" Ziyuan said, holding a washcloth. The clean cabbage walked to Princess Queyu, "I've heard another rumor that when Gu worms reproduce, they need a clean corpse. Gu worms are the most common in the State Teacher's Mansion. This one who married into the State Teacher's Mansion Princess, you must be clean, if it wasn't for the eccentricity of the master and his son, then..."

"Shut up!" Princess Queyu yelled at Ziyuan in a panic. She picked up the handkerchief in a panic, put the small pot of porridge on it, and quickly poured out a bowl of porridge, almost as if she was running away. He ran out with the porridge bowl.

Ziyuan shook her head, looked at the porridge in the small pot, twisted the washed cabbage into small pieces, threw it into the porridge, and smiled slightly, "You can drink the porridge made by Princess Queyu, Ling, you must would be happier."

"Jiu girl, I searched for you, so you are here." Suddenly, a young man in brocade clothes lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, it was Ziyuan's fourth brother.

Ziyuan smiled and looked back at Fourth Young Master Xue, "Fourth brother, you came just in time, and I told you to cook porridge and find you later! Come, come, hand over your medicine bottle containing Kejiebaixian pills come out."

"I clearly protected you all the way last night, you shouldn't be poisoned!" Fourth Master Xue was anxious, and looked up and down at Zi Yuan.

Ziyuan shook her head and smiled, "Fourth Brother, don't panic, you just give me the pill, I'll use it myself."

"Forget it, you really need this pill more than your brother now, so it's better to stay by your side for self-defense." Fourth Young Master Xue nodded, took out the medicine bottle, and handed it to Ziyuan.

Ziyuan took it with a smile, "Thank you! Fourth brother!"

"Wait, there is one more thing, brother four wants to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

Fourth Young Master Xue looked around, leaned close to Ziyuan's ear, and said something.

The smile on Ziyuan's face gradually faded, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Let the carrier pigeon continue to carry the letter, don't disturb Ayena. Afterwards, we set off to return to Shangjing, and the carrier pigeons that flew out along the way will bother you." Be careful, brother, at least we need to be clear about Ayena's movements. Isn't there an old saying that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles?"

"it is good!"
