Ah Zheng subconsciously prepared to hide because he subconsciously felt that these people were coming to find him.
But the more you are afraid of something, the more it will come. The two people have already noticed Azheng. Even if Azheng wanted to hide, it was too late. The two people grabbed Azheng's hands and shouted harshly at him. Drink: "Keep your head up."
This shout startled both Azheng and Xiaoxiao, and they realized the seriousness of the problem.
Ah Zheng thought that he must not raise his head. Once they saw his appearance, they would definitely recognize him, and then he would not be able to run away today.
If that didn't work, Azheng decided to ignore Sanqi 21 and escape first, since he couldn't fall into their hands anyway. Azheng had heard about the fate of those who fell into their hands, and he didn't want to die so soon.
"Two eldest brothers, what happened?" Xiaoxiao stepped forward boldly and asked. Her intuition made her feel that these two people were here for A Zheng, and she didn't want anything to happen to A Zheng.
"This person is
Your store employees? "The two people asked Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, he came from the countryside with me. This is my husband. We have no education and can only do some heavy work. Is it because we didn't do well that we offended you?"
The two people saw that Xiaoxiao spoke Mandarin with a strong local accent and seemed to be very sincere, so they believed Xiaoxiao. When they saw that Azheng had been lowering his head to wash the dishes, they didn't think much about it and sat down to order. A bowl of porridge to drink.
Because the weather is really hot, so hot that people feel like their bodies are always sticky. They don’t want to take this job and look for people everywhere. They also want to hide in a cool place to rest, drink some desserts, and casually pass by. When the superiors ask Just say that no one was found.
Ah Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He took advantage of the two people not paying attention, and then quietly slipped out of the back door and fled far away. Despite this, he still felt that this place was no longer safe. He didn't know where to escape. Where to go, let alone somewhere else, would anyone come to give him something to eat and give him alms.
When Ah Zheng was walking and thinking about the problem, someone suddenly patted him on the back. He ran forward in fear without looking back, fearing that someone from Brother Niu had come to arrest him. gone back.
"Azheng, it's me, don't run, stop quickly." Azheng stopped when he heard Xiaoxiao's voice. Xiaoxiao kept following him, panting.
"Why are you here?" Azheng asked breathlessly. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad. He was happy because it was a false alarm, but sad that he turned into a frightened bird.
"I'm here to tell you that those two people have left. You can go back to the store. It's so hot outside that wandering around like this is not an option."
Xiaoxiao said, Azheng was very moved. It was difficult for Xiaoxiao to still think about himself at this time. If his identity was known by those two people just now, it would definitely affect the breakfast shop and Xiaoxiao.
Azheng thought of Anhao and the Xicheng family. He had already caused so much trouble to others, and he didn't want to trouble Xiaoxiao anymore. She was such a kind girl and should have a good life.
Azheng shook his head and said to Xiaoxiao: "Go back quickly and leave quickly." Azheng's eyes were full of sadness. People will not always meet people who are kind to him in this life, so they must cherish it. , but Azheng didn’t dare.
"What about you? Won't you go back with me?" Xiaoxiao asked a little disappointed.
"Me?" Ah Zheng pointed at himself and shook his head bitterly. He said to Xiaoxiao: "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, I lied to you. In fact, I didn't become destitute because I couldn't find a job, a place to live, and no money. Like this, I had to flee because I was being hunted around for borrowing money from a loan shark and not paying back the money."
Azheng told Xiaoxiao everything that happened to him. He didn't want to deceive Xiaoxiao. He also knew that if Xiaoxiao reported his whereabouts to Brother Niu and the others, he would get a generous bounty, but Azheng chose to believe Xiaoxiao. , he believed that Xiaoxiao would not do this. Even if she did, Azheng would admit it, and just think of it as repaying Xiaoxiao for taking care of him for so long.
"I know. I knew from the look on your face from the beginning that you must be carrying some secret. I don't care. You should go back with me now. At least I can protect you and have a place to take you." you."
Xiaoxiao said sincerely to Azheng that she didn't know why, but she just thought that Azheng was a good person. When she saw him for the first time, she felt that Azheng had the same temperament and thoughts as hers.
They have similar life experiences and unwillingness to be ordinary, so Xiaoxiao feels that she cannot leave Ah Zheng alone.
But Azheng has made up his mind that he can no longer harm Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go. It's true. It's no longer safe where you are. This place has been monitored by Brother Niu's people. I have to leave here. It will only be more dangerous if I stay here."
Azheng said helplessly.
Chapter 61 I said, you can’t escape
They waited until the Eighth Princess' [-]th Day, because the Eighth Princess and the Fourth Elder Brother held a [-]th Day Banquet together, so all the palaces came to celebrate. Only then did the concubine get the opportunity to see Rong Changzai openly.
In the harem, the nobles have the most number of children and are the least valued; Chang Zai, who is lower than the nobles, is simply a long-forgotten existence in the harem.Therefore, even if the people were a little respectable, they all went to the main hall on the queen's side and had fun around Si Age first. Rong Changzai did not join in the fun, and went to Rubi's side hall first.
For someone like her who has been the emperor for ten years but is still in the position, she has long known that no matter how much she desires the emperor's favor and position, she is destined to be farther and farther away from her. Far.Even if she could give birth to a princess, it would be her highest dream in this life.
Therefore, when she stood in front of the Eighth Princess' carriage and stared at the Eighth Princess, there was really light in her eyes - that light was true envy, desire, and love.
Even the two [-]-day gifts she brought were slightly perfunctory for the Fourth Prince, but the gift she chose for the Eighth Princess was thoughtful - the small clothes she gave to the Eighth Princess were naturally supposed to be They were brand new, but Rubi could really see them. Every little piece of clothing had fine and soft folds on it.
Only a mother-in-law can carefully appreciate that these wrinkles are not caused by sloppy materials, but rather by Rong Chang who carefully rubbed the fabrics with his hands before coming here, and those fine little textures will appear. It will not cause any harm to the child's body.
She was willing to wrinkle the new clothes, not worrying about the appearance, but paying more attention to the feeling of wearing them next to the child... Even with this kind of care, Rubi was already very grateful.
"Since Sister Rong likes the Eighth Princess, she should visit her from time to time when she has free time. Even though she is still young, she must understand in her heart that Sister Rong likes her."
Hearing what Rubin said, Rong Changzai was happy, but he was still a little embarrassed randomly. He smiled and said, "...I'm afraid that coming here from time to time will disturb the peace of you and the eighth princess, Rubin."
Rubi then smiled, she naturally understood what Rong Changzai was worried about.
Rubin took Rong Changzai's hand and sat down together, "What are the Eighth Princess and I afraid of the excitement? But what Sister Rong said is reasonable. After all, the Eighth Princess and I are living with the Queen. Our mother We both like to have fun, but the Queen's rules are very strict, and I'm afraid I won't feel comfortable even calling you Sister Rong."
Rong Changzai smiled awkwardly, not daring to say this for a while.
Rubi lowered her head and smiled, reaching into the carriage to touch the eighth princess's little face, "...I understand that in the eyes of Sister Rong, the Queen and I are sisters of the same family. Ask Sister Rong to speak to me. , and it’s quite uncomfortable to go.”
Rong Chang said "Hey", "The empress empress' love for empress Ru concubine is known to everyone in the harem. After empress concubine Ru concubine got married, the empress empress took Ru concubine empress into Chuxiu palace to live together for the first time. This is This is something that has never happened in the harem. Who doesn’t understand that this is all because the concubine and the empress are sisters in the same family? Except for concubine Ru.
Except for my mother, no one in the palace has ever had such an honor. "
Rubi burst into laughter all of a sudden.
She knew in her heart that because of this incident, the Queen had earned a good reputation.Now, everyone in the harem knows that the Queen really cares for and cares for her, a girl from her own family. She can only be grateful and grateful, and she dare not say anything bad about the Queen in front of outsiders, otherwise she will be in trouble Her reputation would be ruined and she would be called an ungrateful person.
Rubin just smiled and sighed softly, "Sister Rong is right. The Queen's kindness and kindness will be unforgettable for both of us."
"But just because the Queen is so kind to me, I don't want to bother her even more. I thought that when the Eighth Princess grows up, I asked the Queen to move out of the Chuxiu Palace."
Rong Changzai stared at Rubi carefully.
Rubi really didn't say a word about the queen, but the loneliness on Rubi's face and in her eyes was all reflected in her eyes.
Rong Chang couldn't help but sneer in his heart.As expected, the character of the Niu Hulu family was such that they were not easy to deal with. After the concubine was promoted to the throne and gave birth to a daughter, she began to have other ideas.
——It is also thanks to the many Niu Hulu clans who come and go in this harem that the old man Rong Chang in a palace like this knows that the Niu Hulu clan's character is really going to start a fight in the nest. It will stir up the entire former harem!
Rong Chang had some idea in his mind, so he agreed: "If the concubine Ru concubine and the eighth princess move out and live in another palace, then I will come to visit you from time to time. Concubine Ru concubine. My dear, please don’t bother me."
Rubi immediately rejoiced, "Look what Sister Rong said, how could it be possible!"
Suddenly Yuetong came in and replaced the tea with new ones.
When Rong Changzai saw Yue Tong coming in, he was so surprised that he stood up quickly, "Oh, why is it Miss Tong who came to change the tea in person..."
Yuetong finished changing the tea, smiled and bowed before exiting.
Rong Changzai carefully looked at Rubin and said quietly, "...I live in Jingren Palace, and now the head of the palace is Chunbin. How did Chunbin come to the top among that group of nobles? She did not give birth to the emperor. The heir can enter the concubine position, such as concubine, you have lived with the queen for so long, don’t you still don’t understand everything?”
Ru concubine then narrowed her eyes, "Isn't it because of the emperor's favor? The promotion of concubines in the harem always comes from the emperor, right?"
Rong Changzai then smiled, "...I think it's because Chun Bin helped the Empress. Otherwise, Chun Bin was determined to follow Concubine Hua and even argued with the Empress in person. But what happened later? Suddenly we said goodbye, and the end result was that Concubine Hua passed away, but Concubine Chun was not affected at all, and later moved to our Jingren Palace and became the head of the family?"
Rubi pretended to be surprised, "Huh? Is this really what happened?"
Rong Changzai pointed to the door and signaled Yuetong who had just walked out, "...Isn't that what she is doing?"
Rubi thought about it and shook her head with a smile, "She didn't come on her own. She originally planned for others to come to me, but in the end, the queen pointed her to me, just to teach her a lesson.
"
"If she wants to come by herself, then I certainly won't ask her to come near me."
Rong Changzai thought for a while, "But you should always be on guard. Needless to say, the Empress's mind is not to mention. In addition, who of the people in front of the Empress is free?"
After thinking about it, Rubin nodded and said, "Sister Rong is an old man who lived in the emperor's residence. Naturally, she has a more thorough understanding of everything in the palace than I do. Thank you very much for the reminder, sister Rong. I will feel better from now on." Just pay attention.”
Rong Changzai nodded, "...Don't talk about us, so what if it's Empress Xiaoshu back then? Why don't we follow her rules?"
Rubin was startled, "Sister Rong, what are you talking about...?"
Rong Chang was busy changing his words, "Ah, what I'm saying is, it's because after she married into Qiandi, my brother's heart gradually moved to her, and his affection for Queen Xiaoshu also faded. Let’s go.”
"Otherwise...if the Emperor still has some thoughts about Queen Xiaoshu, he wouldn't be so cruel to Mr. Shengzhu."
Rubi lowered her eyes quietly, knowing that Rong Changzai was not willing to talk about it, so she didn't ask further questions, but just paid attention to it secretly in her heart.After all, Rong Chang said half of what he said today, and he will have to pay it all in the future.But there is a long time to come, so there is no rush now.
Rubin then said slowly, "According to Sister Rong, the emperor's affection for Queen Xiaoshu has faded, but I see that the emperor's father-daughter affection for the fifth princess is still deep... Think about it, the five princesses are dead. It has been ten years since the death of Queen Xiaoshu, which is longer than the time since the death of Queen Xiaoshu. When the emperor returned to visit the mausoleum, didn't he also go to the Fifth Princess Garden to lay down and lay a memorial ceremony for her?"
The concubine raised her eyes faintly, "Thinking about it this way, could it be that the emperor has a deep affection for the concubine?"
Rong Changzai was happy, took a sip of tea, and shook his head, "If the concubine came to the palace late, she just didn't know something. If the emperor has a deep affection for the concubine, the emperor might as well go directly to the concubine's garden to sleep. Just go and have a look."
Rubin stared at Rong Changzai and said, "Please give me some advice from Sister Rong."
Rong Changzai hummed softly and said, "...when the concubine passed away, the fifth princess was young and needed someone to raise her. At that time, Queen Xiaoshu naturally had a son and a daughter, the second elder brother and the fourth princess, by her side. On the other hand, the current Empress and Empress Xiu Fujin had no children, so the fifth princess was entrusted to the Empress."
Rubi opened her mouth, "The Queen once raised the fifth princess?"
Rong Chang spread his hands and said, "That's right... Since they were raised by the Queen, and now the Queen is in the palace, these five princesses will naturally have some weight in the Emperor's mind."
Knowing this old story, Rubi frowned even more.
"Then I don't understand. I asked my sister to help me with the details... The Queen once raised the fifth princess, but the fifth princess has passed away so many years ago. Why didn't the emperor go to the fifth princess's garden to pay homage to her earlier and later? The Five Princesses were given a memorial ceremony at the Garden, but why did they go there this year?"
Rong Changzai met Rubin's gaze, looked at it for a while, and finally understood. He couldn't help lowering his head and chuckled, "I can't blame Rubin for caring so much. It's not because the emperor didn't leave early and didn't leave late. He just happened to be here in a hurry." This is the year when the concubine gave birth to the eighth princess!"
"Such a coincidence should not be a coincidence, but someone's deliberate arrangement..."
Rubin stretched out her hand to hold Rong Changzai's hand, "Sister understands me. That's why I feel quite uneasy."
Rong Changzai raised his eyes and said, "Why is the Queen Concubine so worried? If the Queen Consort does not give birth to the Fourth Brother, then since the Concubine Ru Concubine lives with the Queen Concubine, the Eighth Princess will have to be sent to be raised by the Queen herself."
"But now the Queen herself has given birth to her fourth brother. Naturally, she can't take care of him, so she doesn't snatch the eighth princess from the hands of Concubine Ru to raise him."
Rubin shook her head, "That's not what I'm worried about..."
To be honest, if her eighth princess was really wanted to be raised by the queen, although she would be a little reluctant to let it go, she could still distinguish the pros and cons - the princess raised by the queen, even if she was the daughter of a prince like Princess Heshuo and Princess Wan, They can all be granted the title of Princess Heshuo; if the princess who is a concubine has been raised by the queen herself, then she can be granted the title of Princess Gulun!This is naturally a good thing for her daughter!
Rong Changzai stared at Rubin in confusion, "If it weren't for this, what else would Rubin care about?"
Rubin sighed softly, "...it is said that in addition to the fact that there has not been a prince in the palace for ten years, there has not been a little princess for many more years. Everyone told me that both the emperor and the empress like little princesses." Princess, this means that my eighth princess has been favored by the Emperor and the Queen since her birth."
"However, after all, I have only been in the palace for a few years, and my foundation is not stable; besides, I have just been granted the title of concubine, and there is still a long time to come... Maybe there are people who don't want my eighth princess to receive too much attention. , so you bring up the fifth princess in front of the emperor, do you want to share the emperor's feelings for the eighth princess?"
Rong Changzai was stunned for a moment, but then he nodded, "I feel enlightened when I say she is called Concubine! I also feel that this is quite possible!"
Rong Changzai said with some surprise, and raised his eyes to look at Rubi very quickly, "...At this moment, who would worry that the Eighth Princess is getting too much attention?"
Rong Chang was talking, and he suddenly stopped, and then softly let out an "ouch".
Rubin became nervous and clasped Rong Changzai's hand with both hands, "What did Sister Rong remember?"
Rong Changzai raised his eyes slightly, his face slightly pale, "I just remembered why the Queen Mother didn't continue to raise the fifth princess back then - if the Queen Mother didn't care about the fifth princess, maybe the fifth princess would have done it back then. Not to die young.”
Rubi was slightly surprised, "What's going on?"
Rong Changzai sighed, "Isn't it because at that time, Xiang Fujin soon discovered that she was also pregnant..."
Rong Changzai frowned again, "She snatched away the fifth princess, and then she herself became happy. This was because she used the fifth princess to 'recruit younger brothers,' wasn't it? It's a coincidence that the year the fifth princess died, The third elder brother was born; by the way, one month after the fifth princess died, the third elder brother went into labor!"
