[Seventy-five] Cat control the rivers and lakes

Autumn is coming to winter, and it is already early winter in a blink of an eye. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the days are getting shorter and shorter.The leaves of the few trees planted in the courtyard turned waxy yellow, and they fell from the branches when the wind blew, flew a certain distance in the air, hit the ground several times, and finally fell to the ground.

The sky was gray, and it looked like it was going to rain but it didn't, which made people feel confused.

The boy swept the dead leaves in the courtyard with a broom, but the wind was too strong, and after finally sweeping them together, they were blown away by the wind again. This was no longer sweeping, but chasing the leaves.He was very angry, threw the broom in his hand, pointed at the sky with one hand on his hips, and cursed. All he attracted was the howling wind, the dead leaves that were swept away again, and a mouth full of yellow sand.He wanted to cry but had no tears, he was angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

"Xiao Li, what are you doing so dejected? Who bullied you?" Xiao Hong asked with a smile when she saw the frantic servant who had nowhere to get angry.

Xiao Li snorted, pointed at the sky and scolded, "It's not such a bad weather! I'm sweeping the floor well, blowing the leaves all over the place, so I have to sweep again."

Xiaohong laughed, so it was because of this! "Then you wait for the wind to stop before sweeping. It doesn't work if you scold the sky. Maybe the sky will get angry and sweep you away! By the way, have you seen my sister?"

"Miss Gongsun? She's in Mr. Bao's study and hasn't come out yet!"

In the study of Kaifeng Mansion, Gongsun Junruo stood behind Gongsun Ce with his head bowed.The guest seat was Bao Gong, and the guest seat was a woman in her early forties. Although her hair was a little gray, she was very energetic. Her hair was tied up into a bun, and there were a few silver hairpins inlaid with emeralds in her hair. , wearing a pair of dark green round jadeite earrings on the earlobe.Behind her was a woman of twenty-eight, half of her blue hair curled up and half hanging on her shoulders, and red necklaces were scattered between her blue hair. Her almond eyes kept looking at Gongsun Junruo with a smile in her eyes.

After so long, Sister Gongsun still hasn't changed, but she has changed a lot, and I don't know if she recognizes her!

Although the two of them were not elegantly dressed, judging from Bao Gong's attitude towards them, they were either rich or noble.

If Gongsun Junruo stood quietly, she was called in because the old lady had an eye disease for her to see, which could have been cured today, but the old lady said that someone would come to pick her up for her to see a doctor tomorrow, and then she and Bao Gong went all over the place. chat, and then she was forced to stand here.In fact, she still has something to do, even if she has nothing to do, there is no room for her here, she can leave, but no one asked her to leave.And looking at the situation, the old lady seemed to be waiting for someone by taking the opportunity to chat.

"Lord Bao, Master Zhan is here." Zhao Hu came in and said to Bao Gong.

Baogong smiled and nodded, "Let him in quickly."

Zhan Zhao dressed in red appeared in front of everyone. In Gongsun Junruo's impression, apart from the red official uniform, Zhan Zhao only had a dark blue plainclothes. He usually wears red clothes to show off in the mansion. Well, he would change into that plain clothes only when he went out to handle cases. In fact, she really wanted to ask him about these two clothes, did he make many at one time or just two.

"Zhan pays his respects to the empress dowager and the princess." After Zhan Zhao entered the door, he greeted the old woman and the woman respectively.

"Brother Zhan, you should call me Mei Niang." The woman looked at Zhan Zhao, her face blushing.

Zhan Zhao smiled and shook his head, "No, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, Zhan Zhao must not cross the line."

Mei Niang bit her lip and took a step forward, but was stopped by the old lady, so she could only look at Zhan Zhao eagerly, hesitant to speak.

It turned out that the old woman was the Empress Dowager Li who had just met the emperor half a year ago. It was said that she was one of the protagonists in the exchange of the civet cat for the prince. As for this woman, she was her foster daughter adopted by the people. Mei Niang also became the emperor's righteous sister and Princess Ping An.

"Mei Niang, we have seen you, we should go back to the palace." Empress Dowager Li patted the back of Mei Niang's hand lightly and said.

Mei Niang glanced at Empress Dowager Li, and then at Zhan Zhao, her eyes were full of reluctance.How could she be willing?After entering the palace, it is very difficult to get out, let alone meet Zhan Zhao. Although Zhan Zhao will sometimes enter the palace, it is only sometimes, and he only enters the palace for the safety of Mr. Bao, guarding the door outside only.Once Mrs. Bao goes to court, he will go to Kaifeng mansion. From the time she received the news that Zhan Zhao was in the palace to seeing him, it was only a short while, she couldn't even speak, and all she saw was his back as he left. .Now it's hard for the two of them to meet face to face, but they can't talk too much.

"Queen Mother, you should go back to the palace first, I...I want to..." Meiniang looked at Queen Mother Li expectantly, hoping that she would agree, but Queen Mother Li's refusal eventually dimmed the light in her eyes.

"Mei Niang, girls should be reserved, didn't the empress mother teach you?"

Empress Dowager Li's words showed a deterrent force that could not be rejected, Mei Niang blushed pretty, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Empress Dowager Li stood up and turned to Gongsun Junruo, "Then Miss Gongsun, the Ai family will send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

Gongsun Junruo slightly bent his knees and responded softly.

Walking out of the study, if Gongsun Jun didn't take a few steps, Zhan Zhao chased after him.

"What's wrong?" She stopped.

"Well, don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with the princess." He paused, and then said, "The princess is the former Mei Niang, and you saved her life!"

Raising her eyes, she looked at him and fixed her eyes on his reddish face, "Misunderstanding what? Why should I misunderstand? I know she is Mei Niang, but now she is a noble princess, just like Zhan Daxia you said Yes, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, so what if you know that she is Mei Niang? Besides, the princess is pretty good, and she is also beautiful. Many men dream of being successful, but in the heart of Zhan Daxia, I am afraid that there is only Mr. Bao. "

Zhan Zhao's expression changed again and again, and it turned for the better in her last words, "Master Bao is indeed worthy of Zhan's swearing to follow."

"Isn't that enough?" She turned around, "What else is Zhan Daxia explaining to me?"

"This..." Zhan Zhao was speechless, angry and funny.Yes, she is an outsider, she can see clearly and thoroughly than anyone else, how could he be so stupid to come here to explain?Totally superfluous.

"However, Zhan Daxia's thoughtfulness is really touching."

In the distance, Gongsun Junruo's voice drifted over with the wind, but Zhan Zhao, who had excellent hearing, could still hear it clearly.He stared blankly at the back that was fading away, and he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment, as if he had just eaten a sour plum, and someone brought candy the next second.

The next day, Wang Gonggong brought his team to Kaifeng Mansion. In the flower hall, Baogong had already been taken care of, but Wang Gonggong was not used to drinking rough tea, so even if someone made the tea, he didn't take a sip. .If he didn't drink, he would criticize the shabbiness of Kaifeng Mansion, and even comment on the official uniforms worn by the government servants, which made Zhao Hu wish he could drive people out.

Gongsun Junruo came out with her medicine box, and Zhan Zhao came out with her. When Wang Gonggong saw Zhan Zhao following behind Gongsun Junruo, the smile on his face froze immediately.He coughed and smiled, "Guard Zhan, it seems that the empress dowager didn't summon you?"

Zhan Zhao smiled good-naturedly, and said, "It's true that the Empress Dowager did not let Zhan enter the palace, but Zhan was entrusted by Mr. Gongsun to protect Ms. Gongsun well. After all, Mr. is just such a younger sister."

The prince snorted, "Does Mr. Gongsun mean that there are no experts in the palace compound? Or is it that there will be accidents when Miss Gongsun enters the palace?"

"No, father-in-law, you misunderstood. Sir, he lost his parents since he was a child, and he is dependent on Miss Gongsun for life. For him, having someone to protect Miss Gongsun's safety will give him more peace of mind."

Wang Gonggong shook the dust fly in his hand, even if he was very upset, there was nothing he could do.

Outside the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, a brand-new carriage was parked. The brown horse lowered its head, its big eyes blinked, and its thick long eyelashes were like two brushes.Gongsun Junruo stepped forward, just as he was about to get into the carriage, a generous hand suddenly appeared beside him.She looked sideways and saw Zhan Zhao smiling at her.She lowered her eyes and stared at the generous palm for a long time, before finally passing it over.

Rejection would embarrass him.

"Guard Zhan, we don't have any extra carriages." Eunuch Wang sneered.

Zhan Zhao nodded, not being offended by his eccentric tone at all, "Eunuch, please rest assured, Zhan will definitely arrive at the palace on time."

The punctuality that Zhan Zhao talks about is his lightness skill.As soon as Gongsun Junruo stepped into the side gate of the palace in front of the carriage that Gongsun Junruo was sitting in, Wang Gonggong saw Zhan Zhao, who was dressed in red, already waiting inside.

snort!Is it amazing to have light work?Wang Gonggong rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.

The two were taken to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and the maid who guarded the door learned that Gongsun Jun was a private doctor invited by the Empress Dowager, so she led her and Zhan Zhao in.

The dormitory is very large, divided into several rooms by screens, the front hall is in the middle, and there is a Buddhist hall to the west, where you can still smell the incense when you stand in the front hall.Empress Dowager Li was helped out by Mei Niang, she ordered people to serve tea, and then sat down with the guest of honor.

Empress Dowager Li did not ask Gongsun Junruo to show her eyes directly, but chatted with her first.It was more of a question than a chat, and the question had nothing to do with how old she was, there was no such thing as a lover, and it was Gongsun Junruo who took the initiative to ask Queen Mother Li to see her eyes, and she stopped talking.

After some inspection, Gongsun Junruo knew that her eyes were not hopeless, but just a matter of time and the patient's cooperation.For the treatment of eyes, the most taboo thing is to shed tears, so on this point, she clearly told Queen Mother Li that she must never shed tears and must maintain a good mood.

When Empress Dowager Li heard that her eyes could be cured, she was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart, but there are also many famous doctors in the palace. She wondered why no one treated her eyes?

"Perhaps, the imperial doctors are all in awe of you, the queen mother, and are afraid that you will make mistakes." Gongsun Junruo said truthfully after thinking about it.

"Then what about you?" Empress Dowager Li raised her face, "What do you think of Aijia?"

"My patient, and I am your doctor, the Empress Dowager. Since you are my patient, I have an obligation to help you heal at all costs."

Empress Dowager Li raised the corners of her mouth and smiled silently, as if she was satisfied with Gongsun Junruo's neither humble nor overbearing and her answer.

"The emperor is here—" the eunuch's sharp voice sounded outside the door, and then Song Renzong, who had not taken off his court clothes, appeared in front of everyone with a smile. Except for the queen mother, everyone greeted him in unison.After the emperor greeted the queen mother, his eyes fell on Gongsun Junruo who was beside him.

"Miss Gongsun, you are here."

Gongsun Junruo saluted slightly, which was her answer.

The emperor looked at her, didn't say much, just looked at her carefully.It has been two or three months since we met for the first time. I thought we would meet at the Double Ninth Festival, but she was not there. In addition, he has a lot of government affairs, so he wanted to let her enter the palace as soon as possible to show the Queen Mother's eyes. It is even more difficult to meet in this way.

"Emperor, Miss Gongsun said that she can cure Aijia's eyes. It seems that you really have a heart."

Empress Dowager Li's words interrupted the emperor's gaze, he snapped back to his senses, and blushed when he realized his impoliteness. "It is the duty of sons and ministers to do their best to be the queen mother."

Fortunately, fortunately, with the Empress Dowager here, he would not be too rude.

"Well, looking back, the Ai family will reward Miss Gongsun heavily. The Ai family really likes Miss Gongsun's temperament."

When the emperor heard that Empress Dowager Li was quite satisfied with Gongsun Junruo, he was very happy, and looked at Gongsun Junruo with a little more appreciation and admiration.There are not many people in the palace who can make the queen mother like her, not to mention that she has been treated unfairly all the year round, so her words are more or less harsh, and if Gongsun Jun is only for a short time, why is he not happy if the queen mother likes her? ?

Zhan Zhao looked at what was happening in front of him, his heart felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle, the pain was sharp, his breathing was a bit difficult, but he had to keep calm, he... really wanted to go out to get some air.
