Pampered Into Being The Empress

The market next to the Daxiangguo Temple was opened before the New Year's Day. The young aunt inside wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make some money, so she sold the silk flowers, collar wipes and other things she made.

At the market there are also vendors selling live animals, including common cats, dogs, fish and birds, as well as rare animals such as live deer and ferret.

The smell of these living creatures made Rong Xi want to vomit, and she quickly passed through the market next to Daxiangguo Temple.

Going further north is Tianshui Alley, and passing through this is the tile market where Huan Niang opened the sugar water shop.

The restaurants in Tianshui Lane are famous, and the brothels and brothels in it are even more famous.

Under the eaves of the restaurant in the alley, there are always several prostitutes with gorgeous makeup and gorgeous makeup. They wear thick powder, their faces are extremely white, and their lips are always dyed with a bright vermilion red.

When the prostitutes laughed under the bright lights of the restaurant, they looked strange.

The private rooms of the restaurant are separated by curtains, and there are prostitutes invited in by guests to sing songs. From time to time, there are shouts of men's applause and the sound of throwing coins on the ground as rewards.

Based on his memory, Rong Xi quickly walked through Tianshui Alley, and finally found Huan Niang's sugar water shop in the tiles at the Zhuquemen.

The business in the shop is just right now. Although Huanniang hired a handyman, she also had a pair of children to help. Because it was winter, the guests all came into the room to use sugar water.

Huanniang’s husband set up a fish stall on Maxing Street, where he usually sells some fresh river fish in the early morning. By noon, most of the fish are bought by the people, and he can close the stall and go back to rest.

People like to eat sweets like the sweets sold by Huanniang after the hour. Huanniang will be busy from the afternoon until the curfew and return home.

Although the life of the couple is hard, they have a good life.

Rong Xi looked at Huan Niang's two children, both of them were born round, very cute, and dressed in new clothes.

She just bought some toys and pastries for the two children. Seeing that Huanniang was busy with her business, she didn't want to disturb. She found a tea stall opposite to sit down, and ordered a bowl of hot tea and a plate of fried cherries.

As soon as she sat down, Huanniang's little daughter hopped up to her and said to Rong Xi: "Sister Rong is here, why don't you go to my mother to eat sugar water?"

Rong Xi was a little surprised. He looked at Huanniang's daughter with gentle eyes. She asked, "Do you remember me?"

Huaniang's daughter nodded her head and said, "I remember."

Rong Xi was led by the child's hand and went to Huan Niang's sugar water shop.

Huanniang's hair bun was tied with Daisy cloth, and she was able to boil sugar water very skillfully. Seeing that her forehead was sweating, her husband let her rest, and he would take over for her to boil the sugar water.

Rong Xi looked at Huan Niang's husband who was honest and reliable, but when he looked at his eyes again, he looked a bit stupid, unlike an adult man with ordinary intelligence.

After Huanniang stopped what she was doing, she stretched out her arms to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She looked at Rong Xi with a little sullenness, and said, "It's really mediocre. Every night, business is always the busiest."

Rong Xi faintly replied: "It's a good thing that business is busy, and also, don't call me Miss."

Huanniang sighed, and then said, "Miss will always be a young lady in my heart... This time you are out of the palace, did the lady in the palace send you something to do?"

Rong Xi's speech was slightly stagnant.

Huanniang didn't know what happened in the palace.

The death of Yu Zhaorong is unknown, nor is she aware of the change of master.

Rong Xi's tone was calm, and he said to Huanniang: "I went with the Niangniang before. After changing the master, she committed a crime in the palace and was kicked out..."

Huanniang's expression changed slightly, and then resumed as usual. She smiled and said, "The lady is fine, and it is a good thing to go out of the palace early. In the future, the lady will follow our family. Now our husband and wife’s business is still prosperous, although not comparable. The life of the master is alive, but keeping it will make the young lady feel comfortable."

Rong Xi nodded and replied gratefully: "Thank you for taking in."

Huanniang sighed and said again: "I just don't know if you can leave the palace so early. I haven't had time to find a reliable man for the young lady. The young lady is almost seventeen after the New Year. I have to look for a matchmaker. ."

Rong Xi smiled and said that he was not in a hurry, and handed them the gift he bought for Huanniang's children.

The Huanniang family lived in a small house in the street. After returning home, Huanniang's husband stewed tofu with a few leftover fish.

Huanniang scooped a bowl for Rong Xi first, and said softly, "Miss, eat it while it's hot."

Rong Xi took it, but when he smelled the fish, he suddenly felt sick.

She couldn't hold back the vomiting, so she hurried away from the food table, went out of the house and vomited.

Huanniang hurriedly followed Rong Xi and asked about her condition with concern.

Seeing Rong Xi smiling bitterly and expressing apologies to her again and again, Huanniang suddenly had a guess in her heart.

She looked a little surprised, and asked Rong Xi tentatively: "Miss...but I'm... pregnant."

Rong Xi nodded helplessly, without words.

Huanniang asked again: "Then this kid..."

Rong Xi’s expression became heavy suddenly, and she said to Huan Niang: “I’m not convenient to tell you the identity of that person, but that person doesn’t know that I’m pregnant...I can only stay in Bianjing for a few days. I will take a boat to Hongdu the next morning."

She counted the days when Mu Huai returned from Qinzhou.

Bianjing shouldn't stay for a long time. According to Muhuai's temperament, he would still use manpower to find her in Biandu.

But if she can't be found, Qi's territory is very large, and he doesn't know where she has gone, so he will do it soon.

Huanniang didn't dare to ask what happened to Rong Xi, but she knew that Miss was going to take refuge now, and her life was very difficult.

She remembered that many years ago, Rong Xi was still a spoiled young lady from the family. She has a beautiful appearance that is unparalleled in the world, and she is very smart despite her young age.

The young lady was a fairy like a fairy in her heart, but now she has come to the world.

Even slaves and maids.

It now appears that she must have lost her virginity when she was bullied in the palace, and she was actually unmarried and pregnant.

Huanniang felt sorry for Rong Xi, and tears were already in her eyes. She took Rong Xi's hand and said earnestly: "Then I will accompany the young lady to Hongdu together. After the young lady is settled down, I will return to Bianjing."

Rong Xi waved his hand and persuaded, "You can't ignore your business."

Huanniang said: "This stall has been closed for two days without incident. Besides, if my husband is there, it is not a problem to sell fish to earn a living. Miss, don't worry."

******

A few days later, the palace changed in the Yongxi Forbidden City.

After learning that the concubine Li's palace was burned, Li Rui had been ill. He did not go to court for many days. He was secretly preparing for a rebellion.

Li Rui rushed to Yongxi Palace at night with soldiers. He was unwilling and hated Emperor Zhuang's cruelty to his daughter Li Guifei.

I also wanted to take advantage of Mu Huai and Yin Cheng's presence in Qinzhou to force Emperor Zhuang to abdicate and allow Mu Ji to become emperor.

Outside the Qianyuan Hall, the guards were tightly guarded, and Jie Yu, who was serving the Emperor this night, heard the news from the frightened little palace lady, and her heart suddenly frightened.

She asked Emperor Zhuang with rain, "Your Majesty...what should we do now? Shall we run away?"

Emperor Zhuang was glowing with black green now. He looked at the young Jie Yu, reached out his hand to wipe her tears, and calmly said: "You don't need to run, they can't enter this Qianyuan Palace."

After hearing this, Na Jieyu was half-believing, but she could only choose to believe the words of Emperor Zhuang.

Sure enough, when Li Rui and his soldiers were still far away from the Qianyuan Palace, they suddenly discovered that the atmosphere around them was not quite right.

He looked around, his expression changing.

It turned out that there were crossbowmen ambushing on the eaves of the surrounding palaces!

Li Rui secretly said that it was not good, but it was too late.

There were arrows feathers in the body of soldiers, kneeling down beside him.

Although there was a soldier holding a shield in front of him, he still shot an arrow in the arm.

Li Rui endured the pain and pulled out the arrow feather. The wound was not deep, but under the palace lantern, he faintly saw that the blood on it was black.

He knew that this arrow feather was actually poisoned.

Suddenly, the crossbowmen on the eaves jumped down from it, and many soldiers guarding Emperor Zhuang were flooded in from all directions.

The soldiers led by Li Rui had heavy poison arrows, and they were no longer the opponents of these unwarring soldiers.

When he was brought down to the ground by two strong soldiers, Mu Huai walked towards him in a black armor.

Mu Huai raised his eyebrows and raised his voice: "Those who voluntarily return will be exempt from death.

The hesitant rebels only thought for a moment, and saw the disparity between the enemy and ours, they returned to Mu Huai's side.

Li Rui sneered, and said to Mu Huai: Good boy, you have used the strategy of adjusting the tiger away from the mountain. It turns out that you never went to Qinzhou! "

Mu Huai's eyes were clear, he drew his sword and placed the sharp blade on Li Rui's neck, his voice was extremely cold, and said: "Now, I can only blame you for being foolish and rebellious."

After the conversation, Li Rui's eyes glared.

Then there was blood splashing, and the fishy smell diffused into the air, making people tremble.

Without blinking, Mu Huai chopped off his head with a knife.

After Li Rui's head fell to the ground, Mu Ji, who had been surrendered by the soldiers, called in pain, "Grandfather!"

After the hoarse, Emperor Zhuang walked in front of everyone with the help of Jie Yu, wearing a black fur.

Now he walks, even if he is being held by someone, he needs to be crutted.

The soldiers knelt down and bowed to the emperor, saying:

"——Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Emperor Zhuang stopped in front of Li Rui’s head. He didn’t glance at Mu Ji, and said to the **** behind him: “The second prince Mu Ji tried to seek rebellion. I missed the relationship between father and son and didn’t want to take his life. The Palace of Taiqing cannot be left for life."

Mu Ji's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were panicked.

Without Li Rui, and without his mother and concubine, he no longer has the power of the Qi family to be close to.

Mu Ji's eyes burst into tears, and gritted his teeth and said: "The child minister takes the order, thank you father for not killing."

After that, Mu Ji was dragged away by the soldiers.

Emperor Zhuang coughed several times, and said to Mu Huai who was kneeling on the ground: "The four princes Mu Huai have done a good job in protecting and driving, and he is a wise man, and he is awarded a prince with a treasure. He will enter the Eastern Palace today, and he will be the prince. The system ①."

Under Emperor Zhuang's proud and approving eyes, Mu Huai respectfully took his will.

Behind him is the congratulatory voice of the soldiers.

At the beginning of tonight, he was the Prince of the East Palace, the future monarch of Qi.

It was a big happy event, he got to the desired position as he wished, and his ambitious opponent has been cut off by him.

But he felt very tired.

Mu Huai was stained with enemy blood. He wanted to go back to Quyun Palace to find the woman.

I want to hold her in my arms without any passion, so as to soothe all his tiredness and unspeakable loneliness after the dust settles.

After having this idea, Mu Huai laughed secretly in his heart.

When did you become like this? He was disturbed by a woman.

He felt that the woman was really troublesome and misbehaving, but the pace toward Quyun Palace was getting faster and faster.

I can see that woman soon.

Since he is the prince, no matter what tonight, he must tell the woman that he will make her a good lady and let her be his righteous woman.

What will the woman look like when she hears the news?

Mu Huai imagined Rong Xi's expression in his heart, and a slight smile was hidden on his lips.

When we finally arrive at Quyun Palace, tomorrow's palace people will no longer call this place as Quyun Palace.

Instead, it should be called the East Palace.

But when he got outside the hall, Mu Huai saw a group of guards kneeling down in the dark.

His eyes changed slightly and he strode forward, with bad thoughts in his mind.

Seeing the darkness in the hall, Mu Huai coughed, deliberately calmly calling out, "Rong Xi?"

His low mellow voice appeared empty in the spacious bedroom.

No one answered him.

Mu Huai's eyes became colder, and he went to the room where Rong Xi usually lived alone.

On the mirror stage are the bottles and jars commonly used by women, and the mattress on the bed is neatly folded.

But the room was full, but there was no figure of that woman.

Mu Huai's heartbeat seemed to pause.

He rushed out of the room with a gloomy eyebrow, his voice was cold and cold, and he asked Xiang Na's head attendant: "Where did the woman go?"
