Chapter 28: Endless literary grace (2)

The man did not answer, but just stepped forward and pointed at Guilaiju and said, "Please. My son is waiting for you."
He immediately grabbed me and walked away. The force was so strong that it hurt my arm. Behind was surrounded by other men without a trace, and my heart hung again. As I walked along, I looked around quietly, seeing that no one noticed this, I glanced at the four men beside me again, all expressionless.
I wanted to slow down and find a chance to run away, but the man in the lead kept holding on to me and couldn't get out. I looked up at him and whispered, "Can you let me go, you hurt me."
He didn't look at me, and walked in stride. I curled my lips and let him hold on to Xiang Gui Lai Ju.
Although the Lantern Riddle Contest is over, there are still many people in Guilaiju. Walking into it is even more coquettish. Accompanied by the dancers' sings and graceful dances, it does live up to its "return" meaning.
On the third floor, because they are all elegant rooms, the porch is relatively clean. Occasionally there are little two or girls carrying dishes into the exquisitely decorated rooms. The moment the door opens and closes, there are laughter and covetous sounds. Out.
When they reached a door, the four men stopped. The leader opened the door and bowed inward, "My son, the man is here." After that, he pushed me in.
The room is very large, the table is full of wine and vegetables, and there is a man standing towards the window, slender figure, and Yushu facing the wind. I looked up, and my hanging heart was relieved, "Big Brother."
The person at the window turned around, with a serious expression, "Sister, why are you here?"
I lowered my head, "It's hard to say a word, brother."
The eldest nodded, "Come and sit down and eat something. Look at your dress..." He didn't say anything.
I silently walked to the table and sat down, eating slowly. I am really hungry. The eldest brother picks up food for me without saying a word.
"Why are you outside the palace? How did you come out? Why didn't you see Haoyue?" Seeing that I had almost eaten, the eldest brother asked with a glass of wine.
"I ran out secretly, brother." I said timidly.
There was no sound, I raised my head carefully, the eldest brother held the wine glass to his lips, but did not drink. I was a little scared, knowing that I had done a big mistake, waiting for my eldest brother to scold me.
"Vil, brother doesn't ask why you came out." After a long time, the eldest brother finally spoke, "but the younger sister in the elder brother's impression would not do such a thing."
"I'm sorry, brother." After finishing speaking, I felt very sad, and blamed myself for his recklessness. But now I regret it, but I can't look back. I got up and saluted my eldest brother, "Weir is ashamed of Ling's family."
The eldest brother hurriedly helped me up, blamed but still said lovingly: "Look at you, you are already a queen, how can you kneel to me as a courtier."
After a pause, he said: "Big brother believes you have your own reasons. Big brother doesn't beg you to tell me, but you can't do this in the future."
I nodded and stood up, and said firmly: "Big Brother, Vier knows who I am and won't be like this anymore." After I finished speaking, I was a little sad, for what I have done and what I will face.
Big brother helped me sit down. I picked up the tea cup and turned it gently, "Big Brother, Wei Er asks Big Brother to help me go back to the palace tonight."
"I'm afraid to enter the palace so late..."
"I know I've been procrastinating for a long time. It's just that I went to see you in the afternoon, and the butler said that you were not there. It is not easy for me to report my identity, let alone dress like this. I dare not go back to my father, he will be furious. What's more, colleagues often visit him. Once he is discovered, it is really a bad thing. I have to make the best move."
"You're right, you really can't go home at this time." He paused and said, "I'll find a way."
I looked at his thoughtful expression, and I felt a little sad. I never let my father and brother worry about it, but now that I cause such a big trouble, I can't have it anymore!
Suddenly the eldest brother looked up and stared at me, his eyes were very puzzled, "Little sister, you..."
I also looked at my eldest brother, and suddenly thought of him, it seemed that my situation in the palace could not be kept secret from him. I smiled, "What's the matter, brother?"
"You tell the truth, tell me the truth, has the emperor never seen you before?"
I said lightly: "Big brother, how can the emperor like the girl of the Ling family?"
The eldest brother was completely stunned, and then nodded helplessly and shook his head.
"So," I continued, "Big Brother must be careful in the court. Also, I must advise my father not to quarrel with the emperor anymore."
The eldest brother hesitated and said, "Little sister, that Guo Yunjun just now..."
"I know, he is the emperor."
The eldest brother looked at me in surprise again, "You...?"
"Although he didn't lift my hijab when he got married, we still saw it once."
"Could it be..."
Instead, I looked at him puzzledly, "What?"
The eldest brother laughed, "I said how could there be heaven and human beings descending to the earth, it seems that it is not heaven and human being, but my little sister.
"Big brother, how do you know this?" I was surprised. I always thought that only the harem had small rumors. How could even the big brother who doesn't ask mundane things know?
"Little sister..." The eldest brother stopped saying something, his eyes filled with smiles, "Nothing. I know this. Some ministers said it was auspicious, praised it very much."
I nodded and said nothing. The eldest brother looked outside, "Let's go, I will find a way to take you back." His eyes fell on the baggage in my hands, "What is this?"
"It's a piece of clothing." As I said, I thought of Xiuhe, and then of Wanchunlou, and took my eldest brother's hand. "Brother, the old bustard of Wanchunlou has a distant relative, do you know who it is? "
The eldest brother looked at me suspiciously, "What do you care about this?"
"Tell me." I stared at him.
"It seems to be Master Liu." I was shocked.
"What's the matter?" Brother continued to ask.
"Nothing. If you don't talk about this now, can you think of how to let me go back?"
Brother hesitated and nodded.
The carriage bumped on the bluestone road. Before I went back to his mansion with my eldest brother. The janitor who had stopped me in was surprised to see me, but the eldest brother took me in with a grim expression and took my arm. He dare not say anything.
In the mansion, the eldest brother asked his men to make a mezzanine in his carriage at the fastest speed. Now I hide here. With the rank of my eldest brother, the influence of my Ling family, and the privileges rewarded by the emperor, eldest brother can enter Daei in a carriage. But you still have to get off at the gate of the palace. The carriage will be parked in a special place. Although it is remote, it is inside the palace.
I have changed Xiao Rongzi's clothes. As long as I can go in smoothly, I can return to Kunning Palace.
"Are you afraid?" Brother's voice came from the front.
"Why are you afraid? I am going back to where I live."
There was a soft laugh from the elder brother, and after a while he said: "You have to take good care of yourself in the palace. If you have the opportunity, it is better to be favored by the emperor." He paused, "The emperor treats himself before The fairy is so obsessed."
I bit my lower lip, sighed softly, and said in a relaxed tone: "I see, brother."
The gate of the palace is in front, and the soldier guarding the gate recognizes Brother's carriage, but there are still routine inspections.
I was a little nervous, and heard a "wow" sound, which was the voice of the guard opening the door curtain, "It's Master Ling, I don't know what happened to the palace late at night?" There was respect in the voice.
"There is something important to the Emperor Ming." The eldest brother said solemnly.
The guard gave an "Oh". I think the eldest brother should be looking at him with his nonchalant but stressful eyes. The guard then said, "Master Ling must be here late at night, but this driver can't go in, you know."
I heard the voice of my eldest brother, "Lao Zhang, wait here, I will drive in by myself." Then, the guard's voice sounded, "Let go." The carriage started again, but it slowed down and left. It took a long time to stop.
The eldest brother got out of the carriage and walked to the back of the carriage, and whispered: "Walk along the wall, and you will see the warehouse of the imperial dining room. Be careful." After that, he left in a hurry.
I got out carefully, but this is a place I've never been to before. It seems that it should be reserved for the minister to park the carriage. I adjusted the eunuch's clothes on myself, took a deep breath, and walked along the wall.
It was dark and there were no lights, and I was a little scared in my heart. After walking for a long time, I didn't see the warehouse of the Imperial Kitchen, so I became a little worried. With the long trail and the dark night, I became more and more afraid, and my feet gradually got up.
I walked, but inexplicably remembered the first time I saw Wang Yu-Yan Boting, his flute, his easy-going smile...
Suddenly a voice rang in your mind-haven't you determined to forget it? Didn’t you go out today for the sake of severing? You are the daughter of the Ling family and the queen of Daxi. You must not do anything to insult your ancestor, and you must not think about him anymore. What you want to think about is how to protect your family...
It was chaotic, my ears "buzzed", my heart hurt, my face was wet, I wiped it with my hand, I smiled sadly, when did I cry?
At a turn, I saw the warehouse of the imperial dining room. The light was still on inside at this moment, maybe it was the guard eunuch. At this moment, my heart finally let go, and I was not so afraid, so I walked over.
When I walked to the moon gate, there were lights approaching in the distance, and he was the night guard. I found a place to hide and waited for them to walk away, and then walked quickly to Kunning Palace. As long as I turned to the north-south palace road, I could see Kunning Palace. Haoyue Huiju and the others must be anxious, and when General Zhang came to check my Kunning Palace today, did they cope with the past...
Thinking about this, I didn't pay attention to a turn, and I met the night guard.
"Who?" a voice shouted, and then a group of people approached me.
