Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 125

On the day the palace people left the palace, Zhao Qingze and Ruyi did not go out to see them off, but stood on the palace tower and watched the figure carrying the package slowly disappear at the palace gate.

"I'm a little bit reluctant."

Ruyi sighed lightly, and said.Zhao Qingze just reached out to hold Ruyi and didn't speak.

In fact, that day, when Zhao Qingze asked the palace staff if he would consider serving Ruyi by his side, he didn't mean it sincerely, perhaps it was a bit tentative.If the palace people agree, Zhao Qingze might consider placing the palace people somewhere in the deep palace and keeping them under strict supervision.Because he can't really trust the palace people, he doesn't know whether the process of the palace people coming to Ruyi's side is a pretentious scene made by the queen mother and her, or she wants to seek shelter by Ruyi's side But there is no guarantee whether she is still loyal to the Queen Mother and will do anything harmful to Ruyi.

Zhao Qingze couldn't take this risk. After all, the person who suffered this risk was Ruyi and her two children.Fortunately, the palace people did not choose this path.

And what Zhao Qingze didn't say was that he took the palace people away from the Queen Mother. Apart from his childhood and the fact that the palace people took care of Ruyi for so many years, there was another reason. she.Zhao Qingze is aware of his mother's methods. Although the methods are vicious, they are not clever. Even if he knows that the queen mother is not so easy to stop, but if there is no think tank of the palace man by his side, it will not be able to cause much trouble.Therefore, taking the palace people away from her side completely cut off the Queen Mother's left and right arms.

And this is also the most important reason for his deliberate design.

However, no matter what, his approach is killing three birds with one stone. Not only have he and Ruyi got rid of his confidant's troubles, but also the palace people have a good place to go. Moreover, he doesn't have to worry that he will lose control of his emotions one day and deal with the Queen Mother .

After all, the queen mother has many faults, but she is also his biological mother.

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, there was no lantern festival held in the imperial palace. Concubine Xian saw that Zhao Qingze had no intentions, nor did she find something to ask Zhao Qingze to hold a palace banquet.

On this day, Zhao Qingze and Ruyi changed into plain clothes, as if they were an ordinary married couple from a wealthy family, and with two children who also changed into clothes, they left the gate of the palace in a small carriage.

"Are you really taking me out of the palace?"

Ruyi sat in the carriage, gently lifted the curtain, and turned to look at Zhao Qingze with great surprise.

Although he knew that Zhao Qingze would not talk to her, but not to mention a concubine from a deep palace, even a woman from an ordinary family would not be able to play on the street according to her temper.So at the Lantern Festival last year, Zhao Qingze said that he would bring her to play this year, and he reiterated this not long ago, but Ruyi didn't take it too seriously.

"Today is your birthday, so I naturally want to make you happy." Zhao Qingze smiled and held Ruyi's hand and said softly, "Later, I will take you for a walk on the street."

"Ah."

Ruyi's voice was not well deserved, and she was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Qingze's birthday a few months ago was actually not well organized.

At that time, she was in the summer resort, not long after giving birth, she was lying on the bed and confinement to raise her body, and Tianyou's health was poor, so she almost only cared about her and Tianyou.Don't say that the Longevity Festival is really held, to celebrate with all the officials and even with the people, even the few closest people of them have never celebrated for Zhao Qingze.Although there was a reason why Zhao Qingze himself didn't have that intention, but it was negligence after all.

Nanny Cao and An Rui did mention something, but there was nothing to follow.

Thinking about it this way, Ruyi felt that she was also somewhat responsible. How could she really live a normal life just because Zhao Qingze said it was a normal life!
"This year, your birthday must be well organized!"

She said something softly, but when Zhao Qingze heard the words, he smiled and said softly, "Do it well? In fact, it would be nice for our family to have a meal together to celebrate."

"Okay." Ruyi nodded.

The carriage has already driven to the street, and Ruyi can hear the bustling sounds on the street while sitting in the car.

She looked out of the window with yearning and impatience. When Zhao Qingze saw her, she smiled and said, "Okay, stop looking around in the car, put on your hat, and I'll take you out."

"Ok!"

Ruyi's sound should be extremely loud.

She picked up the gauze hat she had prepared early in the morning, put it on her head, and then got out of the carriage with the help of Zhao Qingze.The nanny also got off the other carriage with the two children in her arms, but she didn't act together with Zhao Qingze and the others, but waited in the restaurant that had been prepared early in the morning.

Zhao Qingze walked slowly on the street with Ruyi. On both sides of the street, there were shops that were open, and there were street stalls on both sides, selling all kinds of things. Things are much simpler than what Ruyi usually sees, but Ruyi doesn't care too much, she just enjoys the fun of shopping.

In her previous life, Ruyi could go shopping at any time, but she was too lazy to go shopping and preferred to shop online, but in this life, she has no chance.

Walking like this now, she only felt that she had returned to her previous life, and she felt much more free.

Zhao Qingze let Ruyi watch as he walked slowly, with a smile on his lips all the time, the two of them were the most popular wherever they went, Ruyi was curious about everything, while Zhao Qingze was generous, taking what Ruyi felt Those who are curious, even if they just reach out and touch them, they will spend a lot of money to buy things that they have glanced at.

With his demeanor, Ruyi couldn't help but think of a very popular joke she saw on the Internet in her previous life: The woman said, what should I do if I have choice phobia?Men back, buy!purchase!purchase!
Ruyi thought to herself, and couldn't help laughing.

"Such a small thing makes you so happy?" Zhao Qingze heard Ruyi's chuckle, and couldn't help but deepen his smile, and said softly.

Ruyi held Zhao Qingze's hand behind her back, and said with a smile, "I just think it's great to have such a generous husband!"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingze thought that Ruyi was joking with him again, so he couldn't help squeezing Ruyi's hand harder.

The two walked slowly and came to a lantern riddle guessing place in the front. Behind the host, there were many lanterns of different shapes and unique shapes. These were the prizes for guessing the lantern riddles.

Ruyi stared at it intently, but she took a fancy to several lanterns, and couldn't move her footsteps for a while.

"Like it?"

Zhao Qingze asked softly.

Ruyi nodded repeatedly, and directly mentioned a few lanterns that she liked the most.

"You have the sharpest eyes, and I guess you have taken a fancy to the most difficult ones. It's okay, who let today be my wife's birthday, as a husband, I must fulfill my wife's wishes."

Zhao Qingze laughed lightly and teased Ruyi.

During the talk, Deng Xian had arranged for people to clear the way, and Zhao Qingze protected Ruyi and walked all the way to the booth. Before the booth, the boss was talking about lantern riddles with a young gentleman.

Zhao Qingze and Ruyi were not in a hurry, they stood by the side and waited.

Only after the young gentleman guessed the answer correctly and the boss took the lantern, did he say: "Boss, what is the riddle of the white rabbit lantern?"

Zhao Qingze's voice hadn't finished yet, but the young man stopped him: "Wait, first come first, first come first, I want to guess the white rabbit lantern!"

As soon as the young master said that, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Qingze and the others. He just glanced at them, but he was almost scared out of his wits.

"Emperor...Young Master Huang."

The smile on Huang Zongbao's face froze all of a sudden.He actually saw the emperor here, and even grabbed things with the emperor without knowing his life.

"Master Huang, I...I was joking."

Huang Zongbao knew that since the emperor traveled in disguise, he naturally didn't want outsiders to know his identity, so he didn't salute, but the meaning of begging for mercy in what he said was so sad that Ruyi could hear it.

Ruyi couldn't help taking a look at Huang Zongbao, and chuckled lightly.Since he could recognize Zhao Qingze's identity, he must be a courtier next to Zhao Qingze, but he looked very young, which is why he had such a playful look.

Hearing Ruyi's laughter, Huang Zongbao couldn't help but look away, but when he saw Ruyi's female family's attire, he immediately averted his gaze, not daring to look any more, feeling terrified in his heart.

Huang Zongbao hardly had to think about the woman with the emperor, the identity of the other party was already revealed.

Apart from the imperial concubine who was favored by the emperor alone, there was no other woman who could be taken by the emperor to take care of her like this.It turned out that this one was the little girl Chen Wenhan had been looking for.

Huang Zongbao couldn't help but glanced angrily again, because Ruyi was covered with a veil, but she couldn't see too much content, she could only observe the other person's figure, Huang Zongbao didn't think there was anything outstanding, only that she was petite , looking about the same size as her younger sister who has not left the court.

Zhao Qingze ignored Huang Zongbao, just nodded slightly, took a few steps forward with Ruyi, and asked the stall owner about lantern riddles.

At this moment, Huang Zongbao didn't know whether he should leave quietly so as not to disturb the emperor's interest, or he should go up to serve the emperor, in case the emperor failed to guess the lantern riddle, he could help him.In a dilemma, he had no choice but to stand on the sidelines and watch.

Fortunately, Zhao Qingze easily guessed the riddles of the lanterns that Ruyi was looking for, which did not allow Huang Zongbao who was standing by the side to help him again, and saved Huang Zongbao from being stupid.

One must know that Zhao Qingze was winning something for his own woman, if he hadn't guessed correctly and asked Huang Zongbao to serve him...or to show off, Zhao Qingze probably would never want to see Huang Zongbao again in his life.

Of the few lanterns that Zhao Qingze won for Ruyi, except for the white rabbit lantern that was held by Ruyi, the other few were taken by his followers.

Holding the white rabbit lantern in his hand, Ruyi and Zhao Qingze slowly walked out of the crowd. Just as they were about to leave, Huang Zongbao, who was following them, was grabbed by the hem of his clothes by a small child.

"Uncle, where is my little white rabbit lantern!"

The little man who was not as high as Huang Zongbao's knees was holding Huang Zongbao's clothes tightly, and the chubby man in a red padded jacket with red flowers and flowers raised his head and asked, his white and tender appearance looked very cute.

Ruyi and Zhao Qingze couldn't help but stop and look over.

Huang Zongbao glanced at Zhao Qingze and Ruyi in embarrassment, and when he looked down at the little man, he felt a pain in his head: This little magic star, who also has a little white rabbit lantern, dares to snatch things from the imperial concubine. !

When he saw Huang Zongsheng who was watching a good show not far away, he almost cried and shouted for Huang Zongsheng to take his son home immediately.

However, Huang Zongsheng obviously didn't have a tacit understanding with him, and he still looked at Huang Zongbao with a look of being embarrassed by his son. Perhaps even the fact that his son ran over was deliberately instigated by Huang Zongsheng.

"Uncle, where's my little white rabbit lantern? Didn't you miss it?" The little man tilted his head and asked, his eyes happened to see the lantern in Ruyi's hand not far away. It looked almost like weeping.

"Come on, uncle won this lantern for you."

Huang Zongbao felt a pain in his forehead, seeing that he was not looking well, he quickly put the lantern in his hand into the little man's hand.

But the little man's first sight was the white rabbit lantern. The younger the child, the more paranoid about what he wants, so he is naturally not happy.

The lip of the mouth was flattened, but a voice was cried: "Don't want it, I want the white rabbit lantern, I want the white rabbit lantern."

Ruyi next to her saw it, and felt distressed and funny at the same time, she whispered to Zhao Qingze: "It seems that we robbed Xiaowa."

Zhao Qingze smiled and squeezed Ruyi's hand, letting Ruyi lead him to the little man.

Ruyi squatted down, handed the white rabbit lantern to the little man, and said softly: "Don't cry, come, give your white rabbit lantern."

When the little man saw the white rabbit lantern, his tears stopped immediately, and he broke into a smile: "Thank you sister!"

What sister, her baby is not much younger than you!Huang Zongbao said secretly in his heart.But on the face, he said softly with embarrassment: "Thank you, master and madam."

Zhao Qingze just nodded slightly, but left with Ruyi.

Huang Zongsheng saw that there was no good show here, so he also walked over, and was about to say a few words to make fun of Huang Zongbao, but when he heard Huang Zongbao stare at him fiercely, he said, "You can confess this lantern later!"

Huang Zongsheng frowned, his face full of puzzlement.

Huang Zongbao shook his head, and said, "Master's reward, don't let it break it!"

"master……"

Huang Zongsheng turned his eyes to the two who left in surprise, and then looked at Huang Zongbao with uncertainty on his face.

But Huang Zongbao nodded in affirmation with a sad face.
