[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Zhao Gui finally met this woman whom the Holy Majesty had been looking for in the faction for several years, but her name was not "Xin Xiuyan", but Xing Xiuyan.Since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, things in the harem have been indifferent. Except for going to rest with the empress on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, he usually sleeps alone in the Tai Chi Palace bedroom.

He has even less patience with women, but this "Suzhou's No. [-] Embroidery Lady" blind girl, the Holy Majesty really loves her a hundred times more than his own daughter.All the way from Gusu to Yangzhou, she was already a blind girl, and the Holy One personally took care of her actions.

Early the next morning, Zhao Gui ordered the two most outstanding eunuchs to tell them their new mission, which was to serve and protect Xing Xiuyan.

The reason these two eunuchs were able to visit Weifu privately was because they were different from ordinary eunuchs in that they knew martial arts.A few years ago, the Holy One selected some trainable eunuchs, taught them their internal strength, trained them in martial arts, and used them as the backbone for rebuilding the East Factory and the West Factory.

In fact, eunuchs such as Zhao Gui and Li Dequan have now discovered an opportunity to be eunuchs. This dynasty has always had a lot of restrictions on eunuchs, which is quite different from the Ming Dynasty. For example, eunuchs are not allowed to own land without holy grace.

But he heard a word from the Holy Majesty: Eunuchs will not be the harm of collaborating with enemies and betraying the country in all dynasties.I have never heard of eunuchs collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country in order to achieve wealth and wealth, tearing the soil and sealing the borders.

Since his ascension to the throne, the Holy Majesty has selected many qualified eunuchs to be supervised by several senior eunuchs, and they will also teach martial arts.For example, Su Qing and Zhao Quan are good at martial arts, so they are more favored. In fact, they are disciples of the sage, and they are only loyal to the sage.

When Xing Xiuyan woke up early the next morning, she enjoyed the considerate service of her servants, washed and changed her clothes.

Xing Xiuyan seldom wore jewelry before, because she embroidered every day and felt uncomfortable wearing jewelry.At this time, because she couldn't see it yet, the maids and nuns of Lin's mansion took out her make-up, and Lin Ruhai took out some good things that she had planned for her beloved daughter.Phoenix hairpins, beaded flowers, precious pearl necklaces, gemstone necklaces, all greeted the body, and only six gold and jade bracelets were brought.

It felt like Mammy put a lot of good clothes and jewelry on her body and head, but she couldn't see what those things looked like, it took more than half an hour to dress up.

Xing Xiuyan was helped out of the yard by two nuns, took a carriage, and arrived in front of the main hall in a short while, and the nuns helped her out of the soft sedan chair and guided her up the steps.

A man with a strange voice said: "The girl is finally here. The master and Mr. Lin have been waiting for a long time. Let the slave help the girl in."

Nanny Li was sent by Lin Ruhai to serve Xing Xiuyan, she was also a shrewd person in the Lin family, she saw that Zhao Gui was different from ordinary men, but Lin Ruhai and the distinguished guest did not prevent this "man" from seeing this noble lady, there must be a reason.

Nanny Li hurriedly said her leave and handed Xing Xiuyan to Zhao Gui. Zhao Gui carefully supported her and reminded: "Be careful of the threshold."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Thank you, brother." Xing Xiuyan also recognized this person's voice, it was the "little servant" beside the uncle.

Zhao Gui hurriedly said: "Miss, you are a slave."

Xing Xiuyan was helped into the hall, but there was no sound for a while, Lin Ruhai stood up, but the emperor didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak out.

Tu Yuanyi looked up, but saw that she was wrapped in a light blue dress, covered with a white soft smoky gauze dress, her slender waist was tied with a white silk belt, and the snow-blue skirt hung down to the floor, showing a beautiful appearance. Dust, romantic and elegant, coincides with her temperament and the word "Xiuyan".In fact, this dress was originally prepared for Daiyu in the mansion. Daiyu usually likes to wear simple but delicate clothes, but it coincides with Xing Xiuyan.

She has icy muscles and fine bones, and the delicate bones are faintly visible at the neckline, and she wears a string of pearls, which makes her skin look radiant and dizzy.She removed the girl's double bun on her head, and simply tied up a Lingyun bun, and matched it with a silver phoenix hairpin with lace and beads, a pair of pearls and jasper on both sides, and a pair of suet white jade bracelets on her wrists.

The whole body is rich but not gaudy, because there is only a sense of light but nothing can be seen. A pair of beautiful eyes seem to be sentient, heartless, sad, and smiling.

She really couldn't see anything, so she tilted her head slightly and listened, but she could faintly hear the breathing of more than one person, so it was so embarrassing.

A pair of willow-leaf eyebrows frowned slightly, and this expression of anger and worry was tactful and vivid.

"Uncle, where are you?"

Tu Yuanyi only saw the little girl in a jingchai cloth, she looks like a little fairy in a fairyland today, she is gorgeous yet elegant, graceful and elegant, but she is still young and her stature is slightly insufficient, but she has a special taste, let him see stay away.

He coughed and said, "It's been a long time since you came in and you didn't say hello."

Xing Xiuyan is really not used to using ancient etiquette in front of him, what kind of etiquette did she care about in the past when she was just a Piao?At this time, he hurriedly gathered his body and said, "Uncle, don't be surprised, I forgot for a while."

He said again that uncle made Tu Yuanyi slightly displeased, but he couldn't correct it, he said seriously: "Go and see Mr. Lin, you will be staying at his house for a while, don't lose your manners."

Xing Xiuyan couldn't help laughing, thinking about how charming this little Lin Ruhai is, Lin Daiyu's father, the popular protagonist of Tanmei Wen.

With Zhao Gui supporting her to face Lin Ruhai, she smiled slightly: "Master Lin has seen you."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "Don't dare, girl, don't be too polite."

Xing Xiuyan felt that the voice was really nice, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that the daughter of Mr. Lin's mansion is about the same age as me, may it be in the mansion?"

Lin Ruhai said: "The little girl lives in the Lanting Courtyard, I will let the little girl come to visit the girl later."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "It's great that she's at home, I like the little sister of the same age the most."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help being overjoyed, and said, "It's a little girl's blessing to have a girl's favor."

Xing Xiuyan waved his hand and said, "Lord Lin, we are the ones who interrupted you. Since Uncle and you are good friends, let's not be polite."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help being taken aback, almost knelt down and said, "Chen..."

Tu Yuanyi interjected, "Ruhai, don't be too polite. From now on, Xiuyan will be taken care of by you. When I'm done with my business, I... will just pick her up and go to Beijing."

Lin Ruhai was very terrified, but as a smart person, he understood that the girl probably didn't know the identity of the emperor, so he couldn't point it out.

"I'm making a decision not to pay what I entrust."

But Xing Xiuyan said: "Uncle, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

But Tu Yuanyi said: "If you shouldn't ask, don't ask."

"You are so boring, let me ask what's wrong?"

"If you ask, you can't help me."

"How do you know I can't help you if you don't tell me?

Tu Yuanyi said: "Okay. Zhao Gui, help her to sit down."

Xing Xiuyan was being supported by Zhao Gui to sit down, and Tu Yuanyi asked Zhao Gui to announce that Su Qing and Zhao Quan came in, and two confidant eunuchs came in, but Tu Yuanyi had no time to stop the upright slaves.

The two saluted solemnly and politely: "Slave Su Qing/Zhao Quan sees the emperor."

Xing Xiuyan couldn't help being startled, and opened his mouth slightly.She suddenly recalled many distant memories. Back then, Uncle A Piao always called himself "Zhen" and was very interested in topics related to the emperor.Whenever she said that creatures like the emperor were not good, he would call them treacherous.

A person who can come to Yangzhou and live in if he says he wants to send her to the Lin family, who else can be so willful and unreasonable?She was transmigrated to the descendants of the world of "Red Mansion"?Great Zhou Tu family?

Uncle is Jia Yuanchun's husband?The emperor who lied to his concubine to save money by building a garden?This was not enough, the mean emperor also satirized Jia Yuanchun when she was awarded the title because she was old, and asked her to be "Shangshu of Fengzao Palace".Regarding this inexplicable title, anyone who has read Bai Juyi's "The White-haired Man in Shangyang" has a bit of an ominous premonition, but Jia's family members are all blind by coincidence.

Hey, think about the age of the uncle. Jia Yuanchun was about 25 years old when he was appointed, and now he is at most 27 years old. Although he is relatively old when he is appointed at this age, he will not be old if he is worthy of the title, right?Creatures like the emperor have privileges, and they will always be devoted to girls with big breasts and long legs, what a scumbag.

Tu Yuanyi said: "From now on, you will follow Miss Xing, protect her safety and serve her daily life."

The two eunuchs rushed to see: "Slave Su Qing/Zhao Quan pays respects to Miss Xing."

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly said: "You don't need to be too polite, two brothers are good."

"Slave dare not!"

"Oh, I mean... you two will work hard in the future, do a good job, I beg uncle... Your Majesty, I will give you a salary increase, bonus at the end of the year, and red envelopes during the New Year. If you don't do well, you won't get it."

The two looked at each other, leaned over and said, "Thank you, Master, for your reminder."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Xing Xiuyan waved her hand in embarrassment, suddenly she was going to be "Han Zhu Ge Ge", and she was a little uncomfortable.But her heart is full of joy, it turns out that she also has the life of a princess!The emperor is her direct "uncle".

Tu Yuanyi said: "Okay, you all go back first."

In the end even Lin Ruhai withdrew, leaving Xing Xiuyan and Tu Yuanyi alone.

Tu Yuanyi said: "I'll be leaving in a while. I have a lot of things to do. You can live in Lin's house with peace of mind. When things settle down, I will come to pick you up."

Xing Xiuyan was still a little fluttering, and said: "Uncle, no, the emperor, why are you really the emperor?"

"What, do you have an opinion?"

"How dare you, Your Majesty, will you really come to pick me up? Will you accept me as a righteous daughter?" Xing Xiuyan's mind was in a mess, but she couldn't restrain her joy and danced in the square, "So I'm 'Huanzhu... ...Princess', no, you give me a nicer title."

Is there that kind of person who is calm or disdainful when his uncle suddenly becomes the emperor and is about to ascend to heaven?Is there any woman who would rather be a commoner and be blinded by being bullied by villains in the future?It is definitely not her who is so noble and unattached.In fact, she felt that her uncle loved her a lot, a little more than Huang Mama loved Xiao Yanzi, and the 120-year relationship was always deeper.

The most direct thought in her mind, she didn't pretend, she grabbed his sleeve and said coquettishly.
