Once again, the situation was the same as it was today.
Small sudden enlightenment of the quiet, the king did not forget to explore the water.
Rong'er had been with the empress dowager for three days when she returned to the palace, and he had accompanied the empress dowager to soak in the broth of the broth every day. His life was also very relaxing, and to be honest, she had missed the life of the brothel for a long time, so she could finally distance herself from the palace and matters of the world as if it were a paradise.
On this day, when the empress dowager was resting, Rong'er had wandered into the palace out of boredom and had unknowingly walked to a small pavilion. Rong'er sat within the pavilion and called out softly, ”Servants!”
A eunuch walked forward: ”This servant is here. Young lord, what orders do you have?”
”Bring me a cup of tea, I'll sit here for a while.” Rong'er instructed with a smile.
Rong'er sat in the pavilion and recited the poem she had recited to the emperor three years ago in the teacup of the Tang Family. All the scenes were as clear as if they had been yesterday, and she was truly gratified that nothing had changed, that the emperor's feelings for her were still as warm as before.
A palace maid carried a tray into the pavilion and said, ”Young Lord, the tea has arrived.”
”Okay, leave it here!” Rong'er turned back to look at the palace maid, and couldn't help but be startled. ”Little Qiao?”
The palace maid placed the tea on the table and turned to look at Rong'er, saying bitterly, ”Young Master Rong.”
”Little Qiao, you … You were sent here? ” Rong'er asked with his eyes wide open.
Sun Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and replied in a soft voice, ”Little Qiao did not have Su Ya's good fate. I have the honor of being under your care.”
Sun Xiaoxiao entered the palace with Rong'er after all, and seeing her in such a sorry state today, Rong'er couldn't help but feel a little sour, ”This …” ”Why haven't I seen you these past few days?”
”Reporting to Young Lord, this servant is in the tea house to boil the tea water, so Young Master cannot see me. Just now, Eunuch came to pass the tea water to Little Lord, and the palace maid who served Little Master suddenly had a stomachache, so Little Qiao came to deliver the tea.” Sun Xiaoxiao replied respectfully in a low voice.
”You … How are you? ” In the past, Sun Xiaoqiao had been so proud to be by Zhang Leyan's side. But now, in this remote and remote palace, she had become a rough maid. Rong'er's heart was filled with a kind of bitter feeling.
”Reporting to young master, this mountain is clear and beautiful. It's pretty good.” Sun Xiaoqiao replied respectfully.
Rong'er said sorrowfully, ”Little Qiao, is this your true opinion?”
Seeing Rong'er's expression, Sun Xiaoxiao slowly lowered her head, her eyes red as she whispered, ”To be honest, Little Qiao is quite content. God has eyes, I've followed such a master, and I've done no less wrong than her. In order to please her and not be bullied by her, I tried my best to please her and bully Su Ya with her. Master is playing tricks in the palace, but I know, I have no choice. Master forced me to spread the word, I'm on the same boat as her, I have no choice. The more I know, the more I trust her, the more I can only help her, but I have to do something for her.” Little Qiao raised her head and looked at Rong'er as tears flowed from her eyes, ”When Master was being questioned, I thought that she would hold me back and tell me what I've done, but she didn't …” She didn't say anything. Before she killed the Emperor, he came and berated her for what she had done. He only begged the Emperor to spare her family and the court ladies around her. However, her family was still unable to be saved, but it was fortunate that we were not killed at the same time. We were only sent to the palace to be used as palace maids, unable to leave for the rest of our lives. ”
Saying this, a smile appeared on Sun Xiaoxiao's tear-stained face, ”But Young Master Rong, the heavens have eyes. Due to Su Ya's kindness, she received your care, and Su Ya stayed in the palace. And here I am at ease, really at ease. ”
”Little Qiao, can I beg the empress dowager and emperor to allow you to return to the capital?” Rong'er said with a sour feeling in his heart.
Little Qiao wants to stay here, to atone for her sins. For the sake of my master, Zhang Leqi, and for my own sake, this place is truly a place where one can cleanse one's soul. ”Xie Rong said in a low voice,” But Little Qiao wants to leave, no matter how evil Zhang Leyan is, Little Qiao has always treated Little Qiao. Sun Xiaoxiao gently wiped the tears on her face and said with a smile.
”Little Qiao …” Rong'er called out in frustration.
When the masters don't come, we are all very free. Even if we go back to the palace, we will not be able to leave it for the rest of our lives, so I would rather stay here, far away from the palace's chaos. Sun Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Rong'er nodded. Actually, Little Qiao was right. The palace was also a place where things went wrong. They had to stay away from the palace, away from the world. ”Little Qiao, it's good that you think this way.” Rong'er looked at Sun Xiaoqiao and said softly.
”I've really been enlightened. This servant thanks young master for his concern. If there's nothing else, then this servant will be leaving first.” Sun Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.
Rong'er nodded slightly.
