fleeting photos

Xie Jin didn't dare to sleep well all night because he was afraid that Jiang Zhao would wake up from his dream, and Jiang Zhao really called people twice in the middle of the night, both to drink water.

She fell into a drowsy sleep, her eyes were not opened, she was fed water by Xie Jin's hand, and lay down unconscious again.After doing this twice, the lights will be exhausted, and the surroundings will gradually brighten up.

Thinking about coming to Qingshi, my aunt was also worried, fearing that Xie Jin would not take good care of him during the first vigil, and she would come here at dawn.

Xie Jin folded the quilt, and whispered a few words to Qing Shi, Qing Shi warned: "Your Majesty will not have to go to court for these two days, and let her sleep for a while, Jin Niang should go back and rest soon."

Qingshi knew Jiang Zhao's careful thoughts towards Xie Jin, since she didn't choose to vent her anger and regarded her as a seductive seductress to the emperor, she naturally felt a little more pampered.

The kindness in her words does not seem to be fake, Xie Jin's heart warmed up, and he nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, his eyes touched the already cold and lumpy bowl of longevity noodles on the table, thinking that the palace servants who served last night came and went without noticing, so Xie Jin wanted to take it away and throw it away by himself.

Before he could put his hand on the bowl, Qing Shi stopped him.

"Just keep it, Your Majesty will be happy when he gets up and sees it." Qing Shi said with a smile.

Xie Jin bit her lower lip, and struggled: "When Your Majesty gets up, I'll go to the small kitchen and make a bowl for her."

Qing Shi shook his head and smiled: "No, you can go back, if you order today, it won't be the bowl of noodles from yesterday."

She seemed to be pointing something, but Xie Jin didn't understand and couldn't ask more questions, so he said goodbye to her.

Jiang Zhao is diligent and will not quit the court for no reason. Over the past few years, she has developed a habit of getting up early, and she was delayed for a while because of drunkenness. Not long after Xie Jin left, she opened her eyes.

Emperor Qianqiu can stay away for three days, this is the second day.

There are not many occasions for Jiang Zhao to drink, so her drinking capacity is not good, but she has no habit of forgetting things after drinking, so I went back to the palace last night to see Xie Jin, and the communication between the two , she can still recall.

It's just that the more I thought about it, the more I got a headache, and I didn't want to lie down anymore, so I stretched out my hand and opened the bed curtain.

"Your Majesty is awake?"

Qingshi came over, raised the bed curtain for her, and gently rubbed her temples.

The wine used for the royal banquet in the palace is all high-quality wine, and Jiang Zhao won't have too much headache after being hungover, so he let Qing Shi rub it for a while and then put on his clothes and get out of bed.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a bath?" Qing Shi combed her hair with her own hands, neatly combing the hair that was a little messy from sleeping last night.

Jiang Zhao sat in front of the bronze mirror and responded in a low voice.She fell asleep too quickly last night, not to mention taking a bath, she didn't even wash up, and now she still smelled of alcohol, which made her frown.

There is only one wall between the bathroom and the sleeping hall, Qingshi gave an order here, and the other side quickly became busy.

After combing his hair and cleaning his hands, Jiang Zhao got up and took two steps. He caught a glimpse of the quilt on Luohan's bed under the window and hadn't put it back in the cabinet in the future. He said casually, "Aunt Lao took care of me last night. Go back and rest for a while."

Qing Shi smiled and said: "Your Majesty should tell Jin Niang what she said. She was the one who stayed to watch the night for His Majesty last night. The slaves dare not take credit."

Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then stared at her blankly, and heard her continue: "Eunuch Gao sent someone to report last night, saying that Yu Jia returned to the palace, let us make preparations early.

Jinniang even went to the small kitchen to order a bowl of longevity noodles for you. The servant girl asked her if she had figured it out. She said that she wanted to have a good talk with you when you came back, but she didn't expect that she didn't eat the noodles, and she didn't know how to talk. Without talking, His Majesty fell asleep. "

When it comes to longevity noodles, Jiang Zhao is also impressed.She looked down, the bowl of noodles was still on the table, but when she got closer, she realized that it was already completely cold, and the roots were glued together, which made people lose their appetite just by looking at it.

Jiang Zhao's heart felt hot, and the circles of his eyes were also red.

She stretched out her hand to pick up the bowl of noodles, poked it with her chopsticks a few times, Qing Shi said from the side: "You just look happy, you can't eat this anymore, Jinniang can't afford it if you get a stomachache. "

Jiang Zhao really planned to take a bite, but Aunt Qingshi's words were definitely not meant to scare her. After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Zhao still reluctantly put down the bowl.

She murmured: "From now on, I will never be able to eat the longevity noodles made by her again."

According to her promise to Xie Jin, she must let Xie Jin's family return to the capital before the end of this year, and then send Xie Jin out for a family reunion, not to mention longevity noodles, and the possibility of seeing each other again is very slim.

Jiang Zhao changed his clothes after bathing, his long hair was half dry, Qingshi twisted her handkerchief with a handkerchief, saw that she was holding a book in her hand, but she looked absent-minded, so she asked with a smile: "What is Your Majesty thinking about? "

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Zhao repeated her question, shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

There are endless political affairs to deal with on weekdays, but there is no time for her to think wildly. She finally got a two-day rest and bath, but she can't calm down.

Qing Shi said: "When your Majesty rarely has free time, why not go out for a walk, don't always stay in the bedroom and imperial study."

"Going out?" Jiang Zhao became interested, and looked at her with blinked eyes, "Auntie said, how can you experience the people's livelihood if you always stay in the palace? I will go out of the palace and walk around."

Qing Shi's face froze for a moment, trying to reason with her: "Your Majesty, the slave girl said to go out to point out the door of Xihe Palace and the Imperial Study Room. You can just go to the Imperial Garden for a few rounds. How can you think of going out of the palace?" Where is the door?"

Jiang Zhao said with a smile: "I'm tired of wandering around the Imperial Garden. The capital is so big, and I can't go out. I just go to Weifu for a private visit and experience the fun with the people."

She called out loudly: "Xiao Yuanzi!"

As soon as the voice on this side fell, Yuan Xiang on the other side came in from outside the hall, nodded politely and said: "The servant is here."

Jiang Zhao ordered: "You go and call He Yuansheng and Chang Dongling to me, and then go to the House of Internal Affairs to find some casual clothes, I'm going out of the palace."

Qingshi and Gao Sheng'an are old people to Jiang Zhao. They dare to say and persuade some things. Even if Jiang Zhao doesn't like to hear it, he will not blame him. But Yuan Xiang is different. To him, Jiang Zhao is the master. What does the master say? What is it, he does not have the right to ask questions and seek solutions, so Jiang followed orders, and he followed orders.

Seeing that Jiang Zhao was in high spirits, Qing Shi knew that it would be useless to persuade him, and he could only blame himself for talking too much.

However, Jiang Zhao was not particularly capricious. He knew that he had to bring guards. Chang Dongling, the left captain of the Yanwu Hall, and He Yuansheng, the general of the imperial guards, were both masters of martial arts, and the capital was at the feet of the emperor.

Yuan Xiang's work efficiency was extremely high, Jiang Zhao had just finished his breakfast, and he brought people back, together with Gao Sheng'an, the chief executive who had taken a day's sick leave.

Chang Dongling was a tall and thick man, wearing a short jacket, with an unshaven beard, and a big knife hanging from his waist.

He Yuansheng was just the opposite of him. He was a young man with handsome features. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was thin and dressed in the uniform of the imperial army. He was good at wielding a three-foot long sword.

The two heard that the emperor was going to leave the palace, but they didn't raise any objection, presumably they were very confident in their kung fu.

Only Gao Sheng'an knelt on the ground crying and shouting, describing the outside of the palace as a sea of ​​swords and swords, just to scare Jiang Zhao away and let her stay in the palace honestly.

Jiang Zhao didn't follow his tricks, and deliberately said: "Eunuch Gao is not feeling well, so let's rest in the palace. If I meet something delicious and interesting outside, I will think about bringing it back to Eunuch."

Gao Sheng'an really had nothing to do, and wanted Qing Shi to help him say a few words, but Qing Shi silently looked away, not looking at him at all.

He sighed, knowing that he couldn't stop the emperor from leaving the palace, so he had to think of another way, and asked, "Will your Majesty take Miss Xie with you when you leave the palace this time?"

Jiang Zhao said: "If she is willing, I will naturally take her with me, but I haven't asked her yet."

Gao Sheng'an immediately recommended himself: "Let the servant go, the servant will ask now!"

Jiang Zhao probably knew what Goldman Sachs was up to, but he felt that he couldn't control her, so he found someone who could.

But he wanted to find Xie Jin, just as Jiang Zhao wanted, so he didn't try to stop him.

After Jiang Zhao finished his preparations, Gao Shengan really brought Xie Jin over.

Since the Empress ascended the throne, the status of folk women has also improved accordingly, but it is only compared to before. In terms of convenience, it is naturally more convenient for men, so Jiang Zhao also dressed as a man when he came out of the palace.

She has a handsome appearance, gentle and even more heroic. At this time, she is wearing a lake blue man's robe and tied her hair with a white headband. From a glance, she is a jade-faced gentleman with red lips and white teeth.

Jiang Zhao didn't plan to bring too many people with him, Gao Sheng'an was in poor health, and Aunt Qingshi didn't accompany him, so only Yuan Xiang, Chang Dongling and He Yuansheng were dressed as domestic servants, plus Xie Jin, there were exactly five people in the party.

Yuan Xiang brought a lot of casual clothes from the House of Internal Affairs, including men's clothes and women's clothes. Qing Shi said that Xie Jin's face was too soft and beautiful, and it would be too disobedient to pretend to be a man, so he chose women's clothes for her to change into.

After entering the palace for eight years, Xie Jin has long been accustomed to the uniform clothes of the palace people. From the rough linen clothes worn by Ye Ting toil, to entering the palace Zhengsi, and finally to writing in front of the imperial court, there are regular clothes issued according to the palace rules and regulations. Don't dare to exceed the rules.

The clothes Yuan Xiang brought from the House of Internal Affairs were all silk and satin, silk and brocade, which were the only materials she could wear when she was the eldest lady of the Minister's House, and they hadn't seen each other for eight years.

When she was young, Auntie picked out a bamboo-blue double-breasted dress, with large butterflies embroidered on the skirt, the stitches were fine and vivid, bamboo leaves were pressed on the lapel and cuffs, and the edges were sewn with silver thread, which was extremely elegant and beautiful.

As soon as she got on her body, Qing Shi praised her, and tied her a light bun again with her own hands, and walked around the people, the more satisfied she looked, the eyes were full of joy.

"Jin Niang was born so well." Qing Shi stood up holding Xie Jin, and couldn't help sighing.

Xie Jin blushed slightly, nodded and said: "Auntie is absurd."

Qingshi knew that she was thin-faced, so she didn't tease her too much, thinking that His Majesty should be in a hurry, so she led her back.

Jiang Zhao and the others were already waiting outside Xihe Palace, when she saw Qingshi leading someone out, she felt her eyes brighten up, she subconsciously stepped forward to meet her, but she stopped in place again.

Xie Jin raised his eyes to look at her, saluted, and went straight to stand behind Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang also changed his clothes, from eunuch to servant, He Yuansheng wore the same clothes as him, but Chang Dongling didn't wear official uniform when he came here, he still wore his own bunt.

There were five of them, only Jiang Zhao was the master, so they hugged naturally.

Yuan Xiang introduced to the two of them: "This is written by His Majesty, we will call it Miss Xie."

Pointing to the two of them, he introduced to Xie Jin: "This is the Chang Xiaowei of the Yanwu Hall, and this is General He Lang of the Imperial Guard. They are both excellent martial arts masters. This trip is specially responsible for the safety of Your Majesty and the girl. .”

Xie Jin bowed his head to Chang He and the two of them in salute, the two saluted in return, and one called out "Miss Xie".

Although He Yuansheng is not very old, his character is very mature. Facing Xie Jin, he lowered his eyebrows and looked at him very courteously, but Chang Dongling couldn't help but look at Xie Jin a few more times, and was quickly stopped by Yuan Xiang calmly. in front of you.

Aunt Qingshi gave instructions, but Jiang Zhao listened casually, and quickly found an excuse to take her away.

Yuan Xiang brought a carriage and originally planned to drive it by himself, but thinking of Chang Dongling's recklessness just now, he was afraid that he would offend His Majesty in the carriage, so he forced him to stay outside as well.

So the two drove, holding the gold medal, all the way out of the palace gate.
