Emperor Tongue [Rebirth]

Qi Moduan sat on the left side of the carriage with his eyes closed, resting his mind, respecting the left side in everything, Xiao Fuzi, as the accompanying servant, could only kneel obediently at the bottom right side, waiting for the master to summon him.At this time, the prince left the mansion privately, so he didn't dare to go the way of the emperor with great fanfare. The two teams of chariots and horses drove side by side in the driveway outside the pine nut forest.Several carriages looked like ordinary traders, but they were actually carrying guards of rank three or above.The ruts were deep.

Liao Xiaofu changed into a blue-gray handyman's robe, and excitedly opened a corner of the curtain to look out.It is obviously the same sky, the same clouds, and the same pine nut tree, but when you look at it after leaving the palace, you can feel a lot of human touch.

"Have you seen enough? Come here and rub your master's shoulders when you're done." Qi Mo was left alone for a long time, silent.

Liao Xiaofu was a little embarrassed, abandoned the curtain and crawled over with hands and feet, lowered his face and rubbed the prince's shoulders, and slowly retreated from the scenery outside the window.

"Little Fuzi, don't you ask about my fourth brother?" Qi Mo's eyes were full of blame, why is this little thing so indifferent to his own affairs, if it were someone else, he would definitely ask him in every possible way.

"You don't dare to ask more about His Highness's small matters. If His Highness wants to talk, he will naturally talk to me."

"Then if I allow you to ask more questions?" Qi Mo asked unwillingly.

Being taken by the prince like this, Liao Xiaofu became curious, leaned forward and said, "If I say something wrong, Your Highness won't take my heart. That man... that person has the same face as His Highness. Others must admit their mistakes, but slaves will never. Xiao Fuzi has not seen many nobles, but he thinks that person is terribly terrifying, as if he wants to eat people. Such a vicious person...is he really the fourth brother of His Highness? "

Mentioning the fourth brother, Qi Mo finally felt tense, and slowly replied: "It is indeed my fourth brother. Have you heard that a prince died in the palace? That was him. I have heard about it from my mother since I was a child. , I know that there is an elder brother who landed at the same time, but the womb was not enough to last a few days, and then he was taken back by God. Who would have thought that the fourth brother would live in the world, hold a grudge against me, and even send poisonous water to make him dumb I."

"Then how does His Highness plan to deal with it? This person is vicious, I'm afraid..."

The wheels of the carriage creaked against the driveway, Qi Mo smiled, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and said: "Afraid that something will happen to your master? I won't hide it from you, my fourth brother may also be tortured crazy by life, If it is me, I am afraid that there will be evil thoughts of self-destruction in my heart."

Xiao Fuzi's complexion changed, and he interrupted: "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, that person is different from His Highness... It's just that there is something in my mind that I don't understand. The empress loves children so much, and the vicious thing of abandoning and killing children is absolutely unacceptable." Come, Your Highness, don't be fooled by him."

"I have to ask my mother about this in person. I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems. After returning to the palace, some people will accept it. Forget it, since I came out, I won't mention it. It's useless to talk about it." Qi Mo Putting his hands away, he asked in a gentle tone: "There are some trivial matters that I will take care of one by one in the future, and I have never asked about your family. Just now you said that your home is in Xiaoliang Village in the west of Beijing. If I remember correctly, That Xiaoliangzhuang is the one that blocks the river course? Didn't they move to another place early?"

"It did happen, but it was too early." After experiencing today's incident, Liao Xiaofu knew that His Highness treated him well. Even the prince's closest relatives may not know about the matter of His Highness the Fourth Highness, and he is just a slave, Bodhisattva Opening his eyes gave him this kind of grace, so he didn't want to hide anything from Qi Mo, so he said: "Your Highness, don't take it seriously after hearing this, I have never seen Xiaoliangzhuang block any river, and I only vaguely see it. I remember that there were government servants who came to drive the villagers to other places, and that year my eldest sister ran out with me in her arms, and the straw sandals were all trampled off."

"Is there such a thing?" Qi Mo just wanted to call him forward casually, but he didn't want the child to beat himself on the shoulder with a straight face. He was very heartwarming, "How many brothers in your family? Are your parents still there?"

It is no wonder that the crown prince asks more questions, there are only two kinds of people who can ruthlessly send their children to be purified, one is poor families with many sons, and the other is orphans whose parents are gone.This is a road that no one hurts. Once you embark on it, you will have no hope for the rest of your life.

"My father left earlier, and my mother gave birth to a younger sister and was taken away by her family. I don't know if she remarried later... There is an older sister, two older brothers, and a younger sister. It's not Xiaofuzi talking nonsense, my elder sister is The best woman in the world..." Liao Xiaofu said seriously, smiling, as if he didn't feel that life was hard, and the movements of his hands slowed down.Qi Mo only thought that he didn't understand men and women, and that such flirtatious words were cute through his mouth, so he deliberately interrupted him and asked: "Oh? That doesn't sound right, you said that your eldest sister is the best woman in the world, What about your little sister?"

"That little girl is the next best woman in the world." When mentioning his family, Xiao Fuzi's face became lively, with a smile on his lips, unlike in the palace where he was wearing a paper mask day and night.The smile on his lips didn't stop yet, but Qi Mo couldn't help but asked, frowning.

"So you are the youngest child in the family, so why did you become the one who suffered the pain of entering the palace? Did someone force you?"

Being watched closely by the prince, with his hand resting on the prince's neck, his fingertips rubbing the warmth of His Highness' ears, Liao Xiaofu's heart softened, his ears and eyes were filled with his own beating heartbeat. "Slowly talk to His Highness about this matter, but it is true that no one forced it. The servant voluntarily cleansed himself. The rules of the cleansing room, if you are bound and blindfolded, you have to ask three times carefully, but you are willing to suffer this knife? What if? The man hesitated a little. The master who did it would never cut the knife, and immediately untied the hemp rope and let the person go out. This, this is a deadly rule, only three times in response, the master will say another sentence , all descendants and grandchildren will have nothing to do with me..."

"Don't say any more." Qi Mo's heart seemed to be pinched to death by two sharp claws, and his body was cold from the pain, "Don't say any more, in the future... in the future, I will redeem you alone, you ..."

"No need!" Hearing His Highness say that word, Liao Xiaofu couldn't kneel anymore, and hurriedly stopped talking here.In the future, it is the eunuch's most shady mind. There is no father-in-law who does not want to save enough gold and go back to redeem the orchid.Thinking about that word, other people would find it salty, but for the crown prince to say it openly is even more embarrassing than having his pants ripped off.

"Then...the money is saved by myself..."

"really?"

"Well, really."

Seeing that he didn't want to go into details, Qi Mo didn't want to bother with his face, and felt heavy in his heart.Afterwards, Liao Xiaofu was asked about a lot of things about his childhood, and he could tell that the child was the closest to his elder sister since he was a child.The eldest sister is like a mother. The eldest sister is eight years older than him, named Liao Zhen, and the younger brother is five years older, named Liao Zimeng.When Dad was alive, the family had enough food and clothing, and the eldest brother also entered a private school for enlightenment.It's just that after the mother left, the younger siblings were waiting to be fed, so the elder brother took up the strong labor of the family, and followed the medicine dealer in Xiaoliangzhuang into the mountains day and night to find the wild ginseng. Occasionally there is a one-line letter from home.That's what the eldest sister is most happy about.

A few ingots of silver are enough, but the white ones are covered with the blood and tears of ginseng pickers.Liao Xiaofu also has a second brother who is three years older. He has been a well-known talent in the village since he was a child, and a blind man told a fortune teller that this child is the reincarnation of Wenquxing.The second brother's name is Liao Yulin, and he has indeed been loved by his master since he was enlightened. He uttered sentences and never forget them.Others regarded him as a Wenqu star, but Liao Xiaofu knew how hard his second brother had to study hard every night.If it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't afford the silver taels, the elder brother wouldn't have quit the private school and became a ginseng picker with his life at stake.

The second brother is nothing more than wanting to gain fame and earn some salary to support his family.

Next is the most miserable little girl. Her father left after she was born, and her mother couldn't be in pain for a few days. She didn't even have milk, and she was raised in rough batter.At that time, the second elder brother Liao Yulin could already read a few words. He rummaged through the old books in his hands and named the youngest girl Liao Yiyi.

Xiao Fuzi thought of his relatives like a treasure, and he could hear that the life of the Liao family was really miserable.Qi Mo's heart turned a thousand times, he didn't lack brocade clothing and food, what he lacked was brotherhood, he didn't know whether to pity him or himself.

After another half an hour, Liao Xiaofu lifted the curtain and pointed to a loess mountain in the distance and said, "Here we are! Please look, Prince, this mountain is called Ma'er Mountain, and Xiaoliangzhuang moved here. It's just that There is no driveway any further, so we can only walk, His Royal Highness and the guards will just wait here, I will go and have a look."

Qi Mo pursed his lips and nodded gently, watching him jump out of the car with his robe lifted, his back was getting smaller and smaller, his eyes seemed to be glued to Liao Xiaofu's shadow and refused to move away, he couldn't even tear it off.

There is actually some reluctance.

"This little servant... really didn't put Gu at the top, it hurts in vain." How could Qi Mo feel relieved to ask him to go back alone, half a moment after he left, his heart was already in turmoil.He glanced at the blue sky, came back to his senses, and called the guards driving him to come forward.

"Does Your Highness have any orders?"

"You go and pick a few people with good skills, and tell them to find out if there are any people with the surname Liao in the village, and then order the servants of the mansion to stay here and wait, and the rest of them will go into the village with Gu."

"Your Highness, think twice!" The guard raised his head sharply to persuade him, he was the one who was promoted by Liao Xiaofu that day, "If the master wants to find out what's going on, it's fine to order the servants, the villagers are reckless, and I'm afraid I'll disturb Your Highness."

"It doesn't matter, Gu must go to have a look, not only to go, but also to change clothes with you. You immediately take off your outer robe and give it to Gu, and then stay here honestly." Qi Mo said so I am sure, just because the family is the treasure in Xiaofuzi's heart, holding it in the hands of the eldest prince in the previous life is like holding Liao Xiaofu's life.Since he is such a dear relative, and he is his master, of course it is his turn to take care of him in this life.

It was very comfortable in the palace at this time.

A group of court ladies in green skirts walked quickly on the corridor bridge above Jinyao Lake, and the old mother followed behind, stretching out her sleeves to fan the queen mother, and while fanning, she showed it to the queen mother: "tsk tsk tsk, this slave is really blind." Wow, this fan is not a thing in the imperial city, it looks like a real civet cat coming to life. Usually, embroiderers only know how to make auspicious and auspicious ones, and the embroidered noodles they put on are also beautiful, peony Ah, the needlework is good, but it is inevitable to get tired of watching it. This is good, the former servant was giving the queen mother a wind, and his old eyes were dim, and he wondered why there was an extra civet cat in the Taihe palace."

The empress dowager shook her head and laughed at her, looking at the young woman at the turn of the covered bridge.The woman was wearing a light cherry-colored Suzhou embroidered skirt, with goose-egg rouge on her smooth face, and her long hair at the temples was messed up by the breeze, making her look beautiful.She laughed sweetly, she was a lively girl, from time to time she urged the maids behind the screen to hand over the fish food, and then twirled her fingertips to sprinkle the fish food into the fairy pond.

Originally there were various rare koi fishes in Jinyao Pond, in summer, they were afraid that the fish would become too fat to watch, so each fish had an empty belly.At this moment, the water in the son's pool was flying, causing ripples. The girl smiled slightly, and tiptoed to pinch a few more.

In the distance, several young princes came quickly, surrounded by a grand prince, and handed over a wooden box to Eunuch Liu, the eunuch in charge of the Taihe Hall.Eunuch Liu came to the Empress Dowager holding the baby in both hands, and said with a slap: "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, please come back with this baby, the Empress Dowager wants to have a look at it now?"

"What do you know? You're so glib, why don't you show it to Aijia." Knowing that Eunuch Liu was teasing her, the Empress Dowager took off her tribute armor and went to get the wooden box in person, "This coral The bergamot lotus hairpin has been around for a long time. It was broken once when the first emperor was still alive. After using the heavy gold, I am afraid that the color of the inlay is not good enough. There are many, more and more precious, this one has become a treasure, after so many years, Aijia’s white hair can’t be hidden anymore, it’s unbearable.”

"Hey, my old ancestor. If the queen mother can't see that servant, I don't know who can see it. This hairpin is worn by few women who can stand up to the scene. After all, it is the queen mother's treasure. , the slave looks too picky."

"Come on, you are the only one who can coax Ai's family, and put honey and oil on your mouth." The queen mother slowly opened the wooden box, and several memories accompanied by wooden fish and Buddhist scriptures rose like burning sandalwood smoke.Inside the box is a golden hairpin that has been repaired long ago. What is strange is that the wild red coral has grown into the shape of a bergamot, quietly set on the head of the hairpin.Red coral is already rare, and what is even more rare is that there is a nasturtium the size of red beans inlaid in the red coral Buddha's hand, which is simply wonderful.

"The Empress Dowager..." The old mother put away the fan, took out the handkerchief embroidered with Suzhou and wiped the corners of her eyes. She was the dowry girl who married the Empress Dowager back then, so she naturally knew what was on her mind. Put it away, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well when I see things and think about people..."

The empress dowager put the hairpin in the palm of her hand to warm it up, her eyes drifted to the woman feeding the koi carp from afar, and she said solemnly: "It's time for Aijia to move this old bone. Go, wait for Chongyang Maid Su Xue from the mansion called over to say hello to Ai's family, and Ai's family also wanted to ask her something."
