Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Li Shishi was sitting in the flower pavilion, holding a volume of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his left hand, and rubbed it with his right hand.She asked the only court lady beside her, "Sister Yue'er, do you think that the one who wrote this book is really Ximen Langjun?"

That palace maid is exactly Yue'er, Li Shishi's personal maid.She replied to Li Shishi: "Sister, in this world, I am afraid there is only such a stunning and beautiful Ximen Langjun!"

Li Shishi closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, put the book in his hand lightly on his lower abdomen, and did not speak.Yue'er also sat on the side and watched Li Shishi silently, not to disturb her.

After Li Shishi closed his eyes for a long time, he hummed softly:

Nothing can stop

you yearn for freedom

An unrestricted career

your heart is free

through the dark years

I also felt anxious

when you bow your head

I just found the way under my feet

……

After Li Shishi hummed the song, he opened his eyes, only to see Yue'er beside him crying secretly after hearing the song.

Master Li looked at Yue'er and asked softly, "Sister Yue'er, do you miss him?"

Yue'er wiped away the tears on her face, nodded slightly, and said to Master Li: "Sister, you miss him too, right?"

Li Shishi said to Yue'er: "Sister Yue'er, it's useless for my sister to think about him. I can't get out of the palace anymore. But you can still go to Yanggu County, Shandong to find him! In a few days, I will try to send you out of the palace." Go, go back to Xiaoyu Street to tidy up, and then go find Mr. Ximen Lang!"

"Sister, sister, if I leave, there will be no one close to my sister, who will take care of my sister?" Yue'er said to Li Shishi.

Li Shishi smiled and said: "My silly sister, the officials dote on me so much, there will be someone in this palace to take care of me. Sister Yue'er, how can you stay in this palace and miss this life? Sister Yue'er, you It has been almost three years since I took you in Bianliang, Tokyo? I don’t know if people in your hometown are still looking for you? You can go to Ximen Langjun, with his help, maybe one day you can return to your home hometown."

Yue'er replied: "My sister's kindness to Yue'er is as great as a mountain, how can Yue'er leave her sister?"

Li Shishi smiled and said: "My silly sister, you can't do it if you don't leave now! You are already pregnant and have his child, how can you stay in the palace? I will go and tell the officials that I don't need you." I will accompany you and send you out of the palace as soon as possible."

Yue'er was silent for a moment, finally nodded, and said to Li Shishi: "Yue'er listens to my sister! Sister, I went to Shandong, after meeting Ximen Langjun, do you want to tell him that my sister is pregnant?"

Li Shishi blushed when he heard this, and said softly: "Sister Yue'er, tell him that after the imperial doctor took the pulse, he said that I am pregnant with a boy..."

Yue'er replied: "Sister, don't worry, Yue'er will definitely tell Ximen Langjun verbatim. Sister, you should go back to your room to rest!"

After saying this, Yue'er got up and went to help Master Li.

Li Shishi stood up, but suddenly frowned slightly, and stood there in a daze for a while.When she came back to her senses, she sighed again and said to Yue'er: "Sister Yue'er, please don't tell him that I am pregnant."

Yue'er asked in puzzlement: "Sister, why is this? Yue'er really doesn't understand."

Li Shishi said to Yue'er: "Sister Yue'er, my sister is now in the palace and is the concubine of the official family. If Ximen Langjun knows the truth, I am afraid that he will find this Bianliang City in Tokyo on the spur of the moment. Lilai, it took his life. My sister must remember, we must never let Mr. Ximen know about this now!"

"Sister, Yue'er understands!"

……

155 Where did the chapter guest come from?

Two days later, under Li Shishi's arrangement, Yue'er left the inner palace, left the imperial city, and returned to Li Shishi's home on Xiaoyu Street.

Yue'er packed a bag of soft clothes, changed into coarse clothes, and left Li Shishi's house, ready to walk north along Maxing Street to the old Fengqiu Gate, go to Wuzhanghe Wharf in the outer city, and take a boat to Shandong.

Yue'er has already inquired that by taking a boat along the Wuzhang River to the east, you can reach Liangshanbo in Jeju, pass through Liangshanbo, and follow Jishui to the north into Dongping Lake, then you can reach Dongping Mansion in Yunzhou.After arriving at Dongping Mansion, go westward by land, and you can reach Yanggu County in a short distance.

For a girl like Yue'er, traveling by boat can save a lot of suffering from traveling.Although I heard that there were thieves in Yangshanpo in Jeju, passenger ships might not dare to pass through Liangshanpo.But you can take the waterway to reach Jeju Prefecture, and then go north to Yanggu by land through Yuncheng County and Shouzhang County.

Full of anticipation, Yue'er hurriedly walked towards Ma Xing Street.But she didn't notice that when she came out of Li Shishi's house in Xiaoyu Street, three mysterious people in cloaks followed behind her.

Yue'er turned a street corner forward, and when she reached a secluded alleyway with few people, the three people behind her suddenly stepped forward, and one of them called softly in a foreign language: "Yue Ji!"

Yue'er was startled and stopped in her tracks, she couldn't believe she could still hear this title after a few years.She hurriedly turned around and looked behind her, only to see three mysterious people in cloaks had come in front of her.

One of them took off the cloak covering his head and said excitedly: "Yue Ji! It's really you! Blessed by the Buddha, I finally found you!" Middle-aged woman.

"Mother!" Yue'er saw the person coming, dropped the package in her hand, and threw herself into the arms of the middle-aged woman.

"Mother, how did you find this place? Yue'er thought she would never see her mother again in this life!" Yue'er buried her head in the middle-aged woman's chest, weeping with joy, tears falling like pearls.

The middle-aged woman held Yue'er in her arms and shed tears of joy and comfort.She patted Yue'er's back lightly with her hands, and said to her softly: "My poor Yueji, I have suffered so much after wandering outside for so many years! If it wasn't for Chai Nvfang who had gone through untold hardships to cross the sea from the capital of the Great Song Dynasty When I returned to China, I risked my life to find us, mother, how could I know that Yueji is now living in Bianliang City, Tokyo, in the Song Dynasty."

At this moment, the person next to the middle-aged woman also took off his cloak, saluted and said hello to Yue'er.This person is also a middle-aged woman, and she is the Chai Nufang that Yue'er's mother said.

A few years ago, Chai Nvfang and Yue'er crossed the sea from their hometown to the west in order to escape, and came to the Great Song Dynasty, and wandered all the way to Bianliang City, Tokyo.Here, Yue'er happened to meet Li Shishi, the oiran of Tokyo City, and was taken in by Li Shishi.

Seeing that Yue'er's life has settled down, she has no worries about food and clothing, and is safe, she crosses the sea and returns home alone to find Yue'er's lost parents who are being hunted down by the enemy.After going through many hardships, Chai Nvfang finally found Yue'er's parents and informed them of Yue'er's whereabouts.

Times have changed, and the domestic political situation has changed for several years. The enemies of Yue'er's parents fell and perished, and they were finally able to settle down.Yue'er's mother, who escaped the disaster, immediately crossed the sea with Chai Nvfang to the territory of Song Dynasty, and wanted to take her daughter back to her hometown.

Chai Nvfang took Yue'er's mother across the sea to the Song Dynasty, and then came to Tokyo's Bianliang City all the way, and went to this small imperial street to look for Yue'er at Li Shishi's house, but heard that Li Shishi was admitted by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. In the palace, Yue'er followed Li Shishi into the palace.

Yue'er's mother and Chai's house were at a loss, so they had to stay outside Li Shishi's house in Xiaoyu Street, waiting for Li Shishi and Yue'er, while trying to find another way to send a letter to the palace.

What they didn't expect was that within a few days, they saw Yue'er coming out of the palace and returning to Xiaoyu Street. It really pays off!

Therefore, there is this scene where Yueer's mother and daughter meet on the street today.

When Yue'er saw Chai Nvfang, who had taken care of her since she was a child, she also hurriedly saluted her, thanking her for her hard work in the past few years.Afterwards, Yue'er hurriedly asked her mother about the news of her hometown and whether her father was safe or not.

Yue'er's mother said to her: "Yueji, your father is safe and sound. He has been reinstated and returned to Ping'an capital. This time, thanks to the great help of Mr. Zhongsheng, the inspector of Feiwei, your father was able to turn the corner. This time Mother Xilai was also escorted by the warriors of Jian Feiwei Shi Zhongsheng's family."

While speaking, Yue'er's mother pointed to the third person wearing a cloak.

The man took off the cloak on his body, saluted Yue'er as a warrior, and said: "My left soldier Wei Ping Jiazhen, I have seen Lord Yueji."

Seeing that the man was a warrior with a firm face, Yue'er also saluted him, thanking him for his hard work in protecting his mother all the way.

Yue'er's mother introduced to Yue'er: "Zuo Bing Wei Ping Jiazhen is the grandson of Ping Zhenguang, the carpenter, and the son of Jin Sanlang's doctor Ping Jifang. He is a famous loyal and brave man, and he is also the inspector. Your Excellency's capable men."

Is it a violation of the envoy Zhongsheng?Yue'er thought of the boy from Ise.

Yue'er's mother said to her again: "Yue Ji, mother, I have some good news for you. Your father decided to marry Bizen Shouzhengsheng once he finds you, and marry you to Jian Feiwei Shi Zhongsheng Tsukihime, hurry up and go back to Heianjing with mother!"

Hearing this, Yue'er was so startled that she involuntarily took two steps back, unconsciously covering her abdomen with both hands.

This subtle move of Yue'er did not escape the eyes of her mother and Chai Nufang who had watched her grow up since she was a child.After the two looked at each other, they pulled Yue'er aside and quietly asked her if she was pregnant.
