right after

In February, the ice and snow melt, the spring is getting warmer, and the flowers are beginning to bloom.

The unpretentious gray cloth donkey cart, accompanied by the dull donkey bell, drove slowly in the outskirts of the newly sprouted green shoots. Two [-]-year-old women sat next to each other in the middle of the cart filled with wheat bags, but both With a listless face, he bowed his head in thought.

"Li'er, mother remarried to Second Uncle Wang from the east of the village, and today she has a new younger brother. Uncle Wang asked someone to tell me about a marriage. He is the son of the grandson accountant of the south member of the village whom I have never met..." Hua Xihuan said sadly Looking at the scattered apricot blossoms by the roadside, he said in a low voice.

Hua father and mother, in the early years, they set up simple roadside stalls to provide drinks and snacks to passers-by, and they were able to survive. Their lives were more abundant than ordinary farmers, but unfortunately the good times did not last long.

When Xi Huan was born, Hua's father contracted a serious illness and died early. Xi Huan lost his father when he was young. Aunt Hua worked hard to support Da Xi Huan on her own. He resolutely rejected the coal man's promise of marriage, but in the end, his daughter remarried two years after entering the palace.

This time, Mrs. Hua was inconvenient due to confinement, and the Wang family was busy planting in the fields and couldn't leave. She entrusted the same village to the imperial capital to pay the old man, and brought Xihuan back to her hometown.

"Ah Huan, in order to get rid of you, Aunt Hua has the heart to marry you to the accountant's son she has never met?" Mo Xiangli raised her eyes when she heard the words, and frowned at Hua Xihuan's delicate side face, with a hint of love in her tone. asked angrily.

"Mom? It's not easy for her..."

Hua Xihuan's usually bright brown eyes silently slid down clear tears and said.

"Ah Huan..." Hearing the meaning of her words, Mo Xiangli felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly clenched her wrist tightly, wriggled his thin lips that had lost all blood color, closed his eyes and finally let go of her silently without saying anything.

She wanted to say: "Then what about me..." Mo Xiangli felt a throbbing pain in her heart when she thought of parting with Xihuan. Xihuan depended on each other, but she went back and got married... She was alone, and now she lost her virginity, what should she do.

"Li'er, County Magistrate Kong accepted you as a foster daughter. You entered the palace for his daughter for three years and helped them a lot. County Magistrate Kong should not treat you badly. I asked someone to find out for you. You have a hut, two acres of land, I will repay you, and if you want, he can also find a good marriage for you." Hua Xihuan said with a forced smile.

Hehe, a hut, two acres of land, a marriage...

There was no expression on Mo Xiangli's cold and gorgeous face, his slender fingers tightly clutched the bag beside him, and his fingers turned white from clenching.

"Li'er, I'm sorry, I..."

"Uh..." Mo Xiangli suddenly leaned out of the sedan chair, lying on the window in embarrassment and throwing up, Hua Xihuan nervously patted her thin back, and said worriedly: "Li'er, are you okay..."

The donkey cart stopped, and the old man Fu who was driving ahead heard him turn around and asked, "Hua girl, what's wrong with your friend?"

"Li'er, she's not feeling well recently, the road is too bumpy, old man, please drive more slowly." Hua Xihuan said as he fed the water he was carrying into Mo Xiangli's mouth.

"Oh, my donkey cart is not as good as someone else's carriage. If it's slower, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep in the wild tonight." The old man glanced at the vomit on the ground, and said with a mouthful of dry tobacco.

"This..." Hua Xihuan held the kettle, looked at Old Man Fu and said in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, you let him drive." Mo Xiangli leaned on the bag full of wheat, closed his eyes and said haggardly.

"Yeah." Hua Xihuan wiped off the dirt with a handkerchief and signaled the old man to continue driving.

The donkey cart had just started moving, and after walking a certain distance, suddenly someone behind him was galloping with a long-robbed royal horse, shouting angrily, "Stop..."

Old Uncle Fu looked back and saw a group of officers and men in green and black official uniforms chasing after him. He was startled, pulled the reins quickly, and watched him coming cautiously with his neck curled up.

"Who is it right now, come down!" The riding officer pointed his spear at the old man's neck and said in a shrill voice. As he said this, the old man couldn't help but look at him, hey, good guy, what this man is wearing is nothing at all Official uniforms, but eunuch uniforms.

"My lord, the little one did nothing wrong!"

"What's going on outside?" Xi Huan asked in puzzlement when she heard the noisy voice outside and opened the car curtain, who knew that as soon as she poked her head out, a cold sharp object was pressed against her neck, Xi Huan was immediately startled Immediately dare not move.

"What's your name?" The eunuch opened the car curtain and looked around in the car, only seeing bags of unknown contents and a woman in a light-colored green shirt, asking Hua Xihuan ferociously .

"Hua Xihuan..." Xihuan shrank and said.

"Director Gao, people have already been stopped." The leading eunuch said to Eunuch Gao Sheng who was riding up behind him.

Hua Xihuan saw a gray-haired young man slowly walking in on a tall horse. His facial features were upright and resolute, and he was full of masculinity. However, the shrillness in his voice gave away his special identity.

"It's not her, let's go." Gao Sheng rode on the horse, glanced condescendingly at the pale and delicate Hua Xihuan, his eyes lingered on her face for a short while, then turned around and said coldly.

"Retreat." The eunuch withdrew the silver spear that was on Xi Huan's neck, and immediately followed Eunuch Gao Sheng. The crowd came and went in a hurry.

"I don't know why. Dogs can't change their clothes and eat shit." Uncle Fu looked at the eunuch going away, picked up the reins, and spat and cursed.

"Hmm, what happened." Mo Xiangli opened his eyes uncomfortably, and asked, half standing up from the pile of wheat sacks, frowning.

"It's nothing, you continue to rest." Hua Xihuan asked her to lie down again to rest, stretched out her hand to touch the neck that was still cold, and recalled the tall man with white hair who was tall and tall just now, somehow she felt a little familiar .

Gao Sheng thought about the girl's appearance in his mind, and felt that he was very similar to someone in his impression, and he couldn't get rid of it for a while.

"What's the name of that woman I just checked?" Gao Sheng asked.

"Calling flowers to cherish joy." The guard replied puzzled.

"Hua Xihuan... Xihuan... Xihuan... Ah Huan..." Gao Sheng looked at Yuanshan and muttered softly.

In the memory of that cold and bleak moonlit night, he was punished by the chief eunuch to kneel on the ground because of a mistake, and when he was cold and hungry, he passed out on the ground.Someone passed by, helped him up, secretly fed him a mouthful of hot water, stuffed him with some food, and saved his life, so that he can live to this day and climb to this position.

"Ah Huan, let's go..." In a daze, the woman was called away by her companion.

"Xi Huan..." By the way, those eyes were exactly the same as in memory, how could he have forgotten, Gao Sheng seemed to be remembering something, pursing his lips as sharp as a knife, and suddenly turned his horse and chased him back without saying a word .

"My lord..." The guard looked puzzled at Eunuch Gao Sheng who suddenly turned back, looked at the dust raised by the horse's hoof, and hurriedly followed.

"Stop..." The yell to stop sounded anxiously.

"Oh, my mother... Why are these ancestors chasing after me again..." Old Uncle Fu looked at the eunuch behind him, made a comeback, and quickly grabbed the rein to stop the donkey.

Gao Sheng got off the horse and eagerly opened the car curtain. This time, facing those clear eyes full of doubts, he was suddenly speechless. He held the knife tightly and looked at her blankly. After a while, it seemed like After making up his mind, he took out a bulging bag of silver from his bosom, and stuffed it into the surprised Xihuan.

"Thank you, you saved my life three years ago, here is 100 taels of silver."

Xi Huan held a heavy purse at a loss, looked at Gao Sheng's sincere eyes in confusion, and asked in bewilderment, "Help? Three years ago?"

"Three years ago, on the night of the winter solstice, outside the worship room, after I made a mistake and was whipped and punished, I was punished to kneel outside the hall. I almost couldn't hold it when I was cold and hungry. It was you who fed me water and food to keep me alive." , Then everyone will call me Little Gaozi." Gao Sheng's eyes were always cold, but when he remembered that night, there was warmth in his eyes.

"Ah, so you are little Gaozi." Xi Huan looked at Gao Sheng, who had a high-spirited brow and eyes, and found it difficult to connect with the little eunuch who was dying that night, but the white hair made her have an impression.

When she was saving someone, she thought it was a white-haired old eunuch who had fallen to the ground, but when she got closer, she turned out to be a young man.

"Return the money to you. I would go up to rescue anyone I met back then. I am very happy to see that you are living well now." Seeing that he was about to leave, Xi Huan quickly returned the money to Gao Sheng and said with a smile.

"No, take it, I have been looking for you for the past three years, and I want to repay your life-saving grace."

After Gao Sheng survived that night with the food, because of a chance two years ago, he killed the assassin in front of the Holy One and saved him. He climbed all the way to the position of the chief eunuch. When the officials meet, they have to give him a little favor, or flatter him a little.

He is the youngest eunuch in charge, and the emperor also entrusted him with the right to dispatch and train the junior eunuchs, which is a treatment that other eunuchs have never had.But he always remembered the little maid who saved him back then, and was always looking for her.

"After I saved you, I entered the cold palace with Empress Xuan who was serving me, and she fell ill and died a year later.

We were sent to various places such as Shangyi Bureau and Huanyi Bureau to do rough work.Half a year ago, the servant girl who was tortured to death by Concubine Rong Gui was transferred to Ronghua Palace. "

Xi Huan simply told her life of wandering in the palace in a few words, without too many complaints and sorrows about the past three years.

"Do you want to go back?" Gao Sheng looked at her and asked.

"Yeah." Xi Huan nodded, and Gao Sheng felt a little lost.

"You accept it, it will be difficult for me to meet you in the future, I, Gao Sheng, will repay my kindness, and I will repay my revenge." Gao Sheng stuffed the silver tael into Xihuan's arms again.

"I really don't want to..."

"What's wrong with Xihuan..." While the two were talking, a distressed voice suddenly came from the sedan chair, and following the rustling of the sedan chair, a pale face appeared beside Hua Xihuan.

Gao Sheng suddenly remembered that Yan Zijin had written poems a few days ago to curry favor with Feng Qingqiong, the courtesan of the brothel.

The red plums startled the white snow, fell to the ground and turned into dust and exquisite bones, the mist lightly covered the glass eyes, the beautiful nose was beautiful and the jade gallbladder was beautiful, the red lips were not a little red, the shoulders were slender and the waist was tight, and she saw the goddess of Luoshui, she was lonely and lonely Far nine days.

Gao Sheng looked at that familiar face, he had nowhere to look for it, and it took no effort to get it. He turned his head and glanced dangerously, not far away, it was a disadvantageous subordinate.

"Miss Mo, by the order of the emperor, I will welcome you into the palace at night, and accept the grace of rain and dew." Gao Sheng said respectfully.

Hua Xihuan and Mo Xiangli looked at each other in blank dismay. No one expected that after leaving the palace, Gao Sheng would bring the news that upended their fate.

Meet the favor again overnight, give the plum palace, and seal the beauty.From the palace maid under Concubine Rong to the phoenix on the tree, everything seems to be a joke in front of Mo Xiangli.

After Mo Xiangli was favored by the emperor, he was given a task.
