Chapter 22 Choice
In the morning, Aunt Li kowtowed to Miu Ci and left Kunning Palace with Azhu and Ayu.

In order to show her kindness and gratitude to the wet nurse, Yu Ci ordered Ah Ying and A Ming to go out of the palace on her behalf, send them off ten miles away, and go straight to Fantai.Ah Ying thought that Ah Zhu and Ah Yu must say goodbye, so she made preparations for her green shirt to be soaked.

But none of them showed any crying or sadness. Their expressions seemed to be that they went outing by the water during the Shangsi Festival, playing with the peach blossoms and willows and greens for a whole day, and when the sunset was soaked, they would drive back.

They entrusted Ah Ying to take good care of Yu Ci, and finally broke off a section of willow branch to play with, poked her head out of the car window, and waved goodbye to her.

The pear-wood wheels were pressed on the gravel road, and gradually drifted away.

The blue sky is clear and high, and the leaves are yellow and falling, like a rain of butterflies.Ah Ying stood on the empty and clean avenue outside Bianjing City, watching the broken willow branches under the high platform and the farewell of the traveler's long pavilion and shorter pavilion, slightly puzzled by the coldness of these two people.

In fact, Azhu and Ayu only thought that the imperial city and Fengcheng were only a hundred miles away, and they could meet each other at any time.What's more, the reunion promised by Yu Ci is already eagerly awaited.

At that time, they still didn't know how to leave the wound, and they didn't understand the impermanence of the world.

By the time they understood, the beautiful and bright early autumn of the third year of Yanxi had already been lost in the vastness of time and could not be found anywhere.

Ah Ying came back to see her off, and only brought back a section of willow branch.I don't have enough confidence to write how Ah Zhu and Ah Yu thanked each other, how they missed their kindness, how they wept bitterly, how they looked back at every step...

After hearing this, Yu Ci took the willow branch, suppressed a smile and patted Ah Ying's shoulder, saying, "I'm sorry to trouble you, you are still in good health, go back to your room and rest."

As if she had been pardoned, Ah Ying hurried back to her room to rest honestly—not everyone is good at lying.

Yu Ci found a white porcelain bottle with a thin mouth, filled it with water, inserted willow branches, and placed it on the desk.Then sit back and continue reading

Last night, he didn't know what was going on. Before going to bed, Xianzong actually stared at the book cover for a long time. When Yu Ci almost thought he was going to cheat, he suddenly asked.The question is: "Who is the father and the husband?"

Yu Ci never expected that one day Xianzong would ask her that.

This is actually a very stupid classic proposition. Men are not the only ones who will be asked "I fell into the water with your mother at the same time, who do you save first".But when a woman is confronted with this question, it's not just an innocuous temptation.

It would be a lie to say that she was not flustered at that time.

But she still calmly replied to Xianzong: "'It's just a father'. But does your Majesty think that concubines are women who can do their best?"

Xianzong looked at her with misty eyes, "But back then...if it wasn't Zhen, but Yuanlu...or someone else, the queen—"

Suddenly he couldn't continue, so he kept looking up at Miu Ci with that half-open mouth expression, like a child waiting to distribute candies.

The panic in Yuci's heart was simply forgotten—Xianzong was entangled in whether she was "a perfect husband", indicating that he just wanted to confirm his position in Yuci's heart, not really let her face " The choice between "father" and "husband"...Although according to the trend of history, this choice will be placed in front of Yuci sooner or later.

"At that time, I really couldn't make my own decisions, so even if it wasn't Your Majesty, I still had to marry." Yu Ci replied.She stretched out her hands to rub Xianzong's hair, seeing his eyelashes drooping in disappointment, she rubbed his ears with a smile, "I really can't decide whether to marry or not. But whether I want to, like it or not, it's up to you." No one can force it."

Xianzong widened his eyes.Yu Ci took his hand and coaxed: "Tomorrow we have to go to court early, Your Majesty should go to bed earlier."

Yu Ci didn't expect that she could get away with it so easily.

However, Xianzong gave her two frights when he drank twice.For the sake of her heart and personal safety, she felt that she had to persuade Xianzong to drink moderately.

But in fact, it is not as easy as she thought to get away with it.After Xianzong was stuffed under the quilt by her, he didn't sleep curled up as usual, but found a position, with one arm stretched out, the other arm raised the quilt, and said, "The queen sleeps on my arm."

His eyes were bright, and there was some expectation in his expression.

Every child is particularly stubborn about certain small details.When they want to prove something, you have to obey them.

So that night, Yuci lay in Xianzong's arms, unable to find the right sleeping position all night.

But when she woke up, she just had a stiff neck, but Xianzong had a cold and a little fever.

Xianzong refused to delay the early court, so he did not announce the imperial physician.This made Miu Ci miss her very much, and she estimated the time when Emperor Xianzong would go down to court, and asked the imperial physician to stay outside Kunning Palace.

When it was near noon, the imperial physician came back and said that His Majesty is in good health, just a little bit of cold, which is not a problem.

The girls brought back from Yulefang yesterday were careless in etiquette, so Yuci threw them to Aunt Shangyi to teach them again.Those girls were very motivated and learned the rules very hard. When they were eating at noon, they were able to raise the tray up to their eyebrows to serve soup to Miu Ci.

Yu Cilue felt that it was a bit excessive, but Aunt Shangyi said that with Princess Yuanlu's pickiness, this kind of demeanor might not catch her eyes.What's more, these girls have studied singing and dancing since they were young, and they know almost nothing about female workers, so they can only find their way back from their behavior.

Yu Ci weighed it up, and said to them: "You will follow Yuanlu in the future. You also met Yuanlu yesterday. If you are willing to suffer for him, you can study with your aunts for a few days. If you don't want to... "

Apparently, Yuci underestimated Yuan Jun's charm. Before she finished speaking, the four girls had already expressed their opinions: "Yes, yes, slaves!"

But Shangyi's aunts were in the back and said arrogantly but not angrily: "In front of the queen, don't make any noise!"

The four girls fell silent at the same time.

Seeing how active they were, Xie Ci swallowed the half-sentence: "There are ways to fool around."

After all, they are going to be concubines for others, so it's better to be careful, and the method of concubine Ci's own may not be applicable to them.

It was a bit early for Yuci's lunch, and when it was almost finished, someone from outside reported that Xianzong had given him two extra dishes.Take it out of the food box and look, but a plate of Yipin tofu and a plate of emerald shrimp rings are home-cooked dishes.

The person who came to present the reward was a young eunuch who was unfamiliar, and Mi Ci ordered someone to take the silver to reward him, and asked with a smile, "Why does the emperor think of this?"

The little eunuch replied: "The emperor didn't say the reason, but said that the empress will eat whatever he eats for lunch in the future. Today, the imperial dining room has no time to change, so the emperor picked two dishes and sent them over, saying that he ate the most fresh and tender ones. The empress should also try it."

Yu Ci guessed that Xianzong might be showing his closeness to her.In connection with Xianzong's new problem of messing with his relatives in the past two days, Yu Ci felt that he might be... really included in Xianzong's love list.

She knew that based on her current position, if Emperor Xianzong really had any plans, she would be able to escape the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day.

She suddenly hoped that Xianzong could always maintain the posture of a cute and pitiful child after he was drunk.

He is fine when he is awake, but his restless and suspicious personality prevents him from liking anyone wholeheartedly.Yuci is always jealous, tempted, picky and ridiculed by him, and she feels that being with the king is like being with a tiger, but she also understands that when she finds various reasons to resist, she has actually faced up to Xianzong's feelings, no matter whether the feelings are true or not, Seriously or casually.

So she temporarily let go of her doubts, and seriously considered autumn nourishment, what kind of soup to make for him.

In the afternoon, Xiuyi Alin's mother and sister-in-law handed over the sign.After five days of driving, they finally arrived in Beijing, and now they couldn't wait to see Xiuyi Alin.

Yuci signed a survey agreement for them, and ordered someone to report to Xiuyi Alin to know.

At that time, Alin Xiuyi and Bier were reviewing the rewards given by Xianzong and Yuci this month.She was tired for a month and didn't know anything about the world.Although Bi'er helped her manage things up and down, taking care of Kaijie was exhausting, so how could she have time to manage relationships?So there are bound to be omissions.

Xiuyi Alin is more thorough than her, and she is not greedy for property.While ordering, he casually sent those flashy pearls and jades to the various palaces, saying it was a return gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival.When she was planning to give a pair of heavy golden silk butterfly bead hairpins to Zeng Shuzhen in Qingrui Palace, Bi Er finally couldn't help complaining: "The empress's jewelry is very simple and old, just like the banquet the day before yesterday. It was taken out. It’s rare to have such a precious and elegant one, why don’t you take it yourself, but give it away? Didn’t your lady see the dress she once trimmed that day? It’s several times better than your ladyship, so give it away?”

Alin Xiuyi thought thoughtfully: "Thanks for your reminder, I was almost negligent. This is a reward from the queen, I shouldn't give it away casually, I should keep it. Give her the set of emerald jewelry."

Bi'er wanted to persuade, but Xiuyi Alin had already smiled and said: "Don't be petty, I bring these things and they look tacky, what are you keeping them for? Make people jealous? Or give them as a dowry?" He said thoughtfully, "It's really time to make such a plan...then leave the suet white jade set."

Bi'er was annoyed at her indecency, and said aggrievedly: "If someone tells the empress to be serious, the empress will know how to make fun of people."

Alin Xiuyi smiled and said: "It's not mine... But I'm not joking, you see Azhu and Ayu in the queen's palace, didn't they go out? As long as I have the queen's means, I will definitely find a way to get you Get out."

Bi'er's eyes turned red when she heard this: "Your Majesty thinks I'm stupid, can't I serve you well?"

Xiuyi Alin smiled and said: "Aren't you stupid? I treat you well, but you suspect that I despise you."

Bi'er was about to say more when the person sent by Yu Ci arrived.Bi'er felt relieved in her heart, and didn't care about Xiuyi's words, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty left the things, wouldn't this come in handy?"

Alin Xiuyi grabbed two pearls as a reward for the messenger, and said, "Thank you, aunt, for making the trip. Please worry about it, I will go to pay my respects in person some other day."

After sending the messenger away, her expression turned cold,
Bi'er thought she would be ecstatic, but she actually had such a reaction, she was a little at a loss and asked, "Your Majesty, you don't want someone from your family?"

Xiuyi Alin said coldly: "They are nothing more than toothless women, they are not my family. How dare they come to see me?"

Bi'er has been with Xiuyi Alin for four years, and she knows that although she looks gentle and considerate, she never does evil to others, but in reality she has the most clear love and hate, and she remembers clearly whether she is good or bad for her .Those who have done evil to her, if they know the truth and disappear in front of her, that's all. If they don't know the good and the bad and still dangle in front of her, she will retaliate tenfold.

Back then they were waiting to be selected into the palace together, and they were from the same village, so she also knew a little about Xiuyi's Alin's family.It's just that Xiuyi and Alin had a lot of respect and affection for her mother during her conversation, thinking that she must be happy to see her mother, but who knew it was such an attitude.

Xiuyi Alin seemed to see through her mind, and said, "My biological mother has passed away for many years."

Bi'er understood, and persuaded again: "There is a caretaker outside, and the empress will feel more relaxed."

Xiuyi Alin said: "You are right. Hurry up and prepare tea to welcome the guests."

What she wanted to do really needed support from outside the palace.But she doesn't intend to give up the old grudge.

All grievances will be rewarded in the end, it's just that the time has not come.
