"Crackle."

The lights in the dormitory exploded.

In the dim and dark palace room, the little eunuch Zhao Ping walked gently to the front of the brass lamp, picked up the thin silver hairpin next to it, and picked the wick that ignited the bright yellow flame.

I heard that the crown prince has arrived at Ciqing Palace, and he should return to Yuqing Palace in a short time.

The tip of the hairpin shook with flames, and Zhao Ping's shadow shook on the ground.

Hula, a strong wind blows in outside.

The two doors were originally hidden, but they suddenly opened and slapped on the two walls, so frightened that the hairpin in Zhao Ping's hand fell to the ground.

"Ding."

There was a soft thud.

Zhao Ping looked over with a little horror in his eyes, only thinking that the wind was blowing open the door, but he didn't expect to see Zhu Yijun standing at the door.

A dark robe was of fine silk texture, blending in with the heavy darkness outside, but also flowing with a faint luster.

He put one hand on his waist and the other behind his waist, and stepped in.

Zhao Ping was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave doesn't know that the prince has returned to the palace, and the crime deserves death." ”

"No, get up."

Zhu Yijun's steps were very smooth, and the expression on his face didn't seem to be very clear under the reflection of the lights.

Today's prince looks no different from usual, but there seems to be something different.

Zhao Ping couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, and the moment he saw Zhu Yijun waving his hand at him, he understood what Zhu Yijun meant.

"The slave and maid are gone."

Zhao Ping got up from the ground, carefully picked up the round-headed silver hairpin, and put it back next to the lamp, then respectfully took the hem of his clothes and retreated.

When he arrived at the door, Zhao Ping pulled the door with both hands and brought it shut.

There was a "squeak" and the door shut.

The cool breeze blowing in the dormitory was cut off.

Zhu Yijun stood quietly in place, the dim candle flame casting his shadow on the ground.

He took a step forward, put one hand behind his back, and walked all the way to the house, and finally put the hand behind his back, and turned to see that there was a dagger lying in his palm.

The bright silver light reflected his cold eyes on his head, and the slightest hint was revealed.

"When."

The dagger was thrown by him onto the bookcase, and the faint blood that remained had not yet been wiped clean.

Zhu Yijun raised his hand to cover his dagger, sat down, and the slight sweat on his head had already oozed out densely in the dim light.

Without the dagger sheath, this is not a small trouble.

Zhu Yijun closed his eyes slightly, but his cheekbones and temples were slightly protruding, as if he was enduring great pain.

He gritted his teeth and slowly pulled the sleeves of his robe......

The bloody gas spread.

Outside the palace.

Zhao Ping just came out, and he was wondering in his heart, what is strange about the prince, although he usually doesn't like to talk much, but it doesn't seem to be so heavy?

He muttered inwardly as he exited.

Liu Youde, the steward of Yuqing Palace, was waiting under the corridor, and was surprised when he came out: "Why did you come out?" ”

Zhao Ping bowed and replied, "It was the prince who asked the slave to come out." ”

“……”

When Liu Youde heard this, he fell silent.

Zhao Ping looked cautiously: "Father-in-law, but what's wrong?" ”

"Go aside." Liu Youde waved his hand impatiently, "What's wrong with it, can you know?" Let's cheer up and serve lately. ”

"Yes, yes."

Zhao Ping hurriedly nodded and retreated to the side.

Liu Youde looked at it, stood on the steps and touched his chin, thinking that he had to be careful.

This time out of the palace, Princess Shouyang seemed to have caused a lot of trouble, and almost came back crying. The eldest of the concubine was unhappy, and clearly scolded Princess Shouyang, but in fact, she was also dissatisfied with Zhu Yijun, and said two words to the prince lukewarmly.

Presumably, the prince is not very happy, right?

Liu Youde sighed and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

The oblique moon was sinking in the west, and the night was already deep.

The light was also on in the high-arched room, the beard on his chin trembled, raised a pair of eyes that were already a little old, carefully looked at the scars on the face of the full moon, and scolded in his heart: It's all unsuccessful!

Xie Fu stood in front of Gao Gong and did not sit down as usual.

"Today's events are generally like this, Cousin Miaozhen suspects that I can, and it's okay to catch adulterers, but she shouldn't hit the full moon for no reason."

His face was slightly gloomy, and Gao Gong thought of Sister Zhen'er, and then thought of Sister Zhen'er's useless father, and all the anger came up.

The back house is like a court, but Zhang Juzheng suddenly gave Gao Fu, the big housekeeper next to him, a slap one day, and Gao Gong was also like thunder.

They can pinch you to the death in the court, but they can't do anything about slapping people in the face.

What's more, as early as when he brought Xie Fu into the mansion, he was worried that others would squeeze out Xie Fu.

It was Gao Gong who once informed the Gao Mansion: Xie Fu is not a table lady, or a serious lady in the Gao Mansion, and no one is allowed to talk too much below.

But now, what is Gao Miaozhen doing!

With a "snap", Gao Gong directly threw out the fold that was still turning in his hand: "It's really three days without fighting, go to the house and uncover the tiles!" This is to make me Gao lose face in the capital! ”

A big girl's family, suspecting that her sister had a private meeting with someone, and she also brought someone to catch the adulterer, and it looked like something to spread out!

The more Gao Gong thought about it, the more angry he became.

Xie Fu and Gao Miaozhen are usually well water and do not violate the river water, and they have nothing to do with it, this time the other party stepped on the line, if Xie Fusong let go, he just let it go so gently, then there are one and two.

Sometimes you have to be a little too good.

When she came back today, after she came to greet Gao Gong, the first sentence made it clear that Fu'er was here to complain.

As for whether this situation is "Diao" or not, it depends on what Gao Gong thinks.

Gao Gong pondered for a moment and sighed: "That's it, it's late, you go back first." I only live in the house with peace of mind, and don't listen to the rumors of others. has his grandfather to shield Fu'er from the wind and rain. ”

Looking at Gao Gong's almost kind eyes, Xie Fu sighed secretly in his heart.

She bowed down and said goodbye: "Grandfather also pay attention to rest, Fu'er will go back to the room first." ”

came out, Xie Fu glanced back at the study that was still lit, and the shadow of the high arch cast on the window paper, but he thought of her mother in his heart.

How much did Gao Beard hurt Gao in the first place?

But I didn't think that a lady in the capital would die in the distant Shaoxing.

"Thank you, butler, this lantern is still for the slave."

Gao Fu walked over with a lantern, and the full moon hurriedly took it.

At this time, Xie Fu had Huo Xiaonan by his side, and there was also a full moon, so naturally he didn't need Gao Fu to send him off.

Xie Fu nodded slightly at Gao Fu: "It's good to have them send me, bother the housekeeper." ”

Gao Fu said: "Miss is polite. ”

He smiled and stepped aside.

Xie Fu took Huo Xiaonan and the full moon around the corridor, Huo Xiaonan sent her to the front of the room, and then turned around and went back to his room.

Under the eaves, the parrot was dozing off, and seeing it staggering, it was almost planted from above.

When he passed by, Xie Fu stopped and looked at it, helpless.

"Little thing, next time you still have to tie a chain to it, if you fall to your death while sleeping, you have no place to cry out."

Full Moon pursed her lips: "It still has wings." ”

"This fat can be stewed in a cup."

Xie Fu sighed and shook his head, finally extinguished the idea of stewing the parrot in the pot, and walked into the house.

The house was lit and brightened.

Xie Fu asked the little maids who were waiting in the house to go out, leaving only one full moon.

Full Moon knew what she meant, and when they were parting, Huo Xiaonan had already transferred the silver sheath brought back from the Fayuan Temple to his own hands.

"The slave really doesn't understand, what are you keeping it for?"

As she spoke, she handed back the jewel-encrusted dagger sheath.

Xie Fu took it and half-jokingly said, "Don't you see that there are so many gems embedded in it?" You can sell it for a lot of silver. ”

"Girl!"

The full moon nearly fell.

Xie Fu looked at her and completely forgot that she had been slapped, and now she didn't feel it at all, and she was helpless in her heart: "Don't talk about it, how did it happen this time, you also understand?" He took care of this mouth every day, and stopped talking nonsense. There are still wounds on my face, so let's go quickly. ”

"Oh, right away."

Full Moon hurriedly put away his expression, nodded, and touched his face, only to find that it was a little swollen, thinking of Gao Miaozhen, but it was extremely sympathetic.

Poor Sister Zhen'er, it doesn't matter if you slap her, but who called her full moon the face of the second girl?

Full Moon was a little happy when she thought about it, and smiled sweetly: "The slave went outside to find plasters." ”

"Go ahead."

Xie Fu responded, and finally had time to look down at this silver sheath.

Fang had only made a rough judgment, but now that she had taken a closer look, she had already determined that this was something from Tatar.

Tatar and Ming last year before the truce, the Tatar Altan Khan of the previous month was just named the king of Yishun, his grandson Hannaji came to Beijing to make a pilgrimage to receive the reward, I heard that not long ago also presented a beauty from Persia, the demon is incomparable, the Longqing Emperor was fascinated, the name said:

Nuer Huahua.

These are all gossips that Gao Gong said casually after dinner.

Xie Fu thought about it now, but he couldn't tell whether this information had anything to do with the silver sheath.

She pondered for a moment, then took out a handkerchief and wrapped the silver sheath in it, and hid it at the bottom of the box.

After a while, the full moon returned, and Xie Fu sat on the edge of the bed and beckoned the full moon over.

Full Moon sat on the footrest in front of the bed, tilting his face up, and letting Xie Fu slowly paint himself with the scars on the side of his face.

"It's all slaves and maids who don't hold their mouths, and they won't dare to do it again. This slap is also a lesson. Girl, don't feel distressed. ”

"Don't be poor, this way."

Xie Fu blurred the plaster on his fingers and slowly applied it to the full moon.

When she first arrived in Xie Mansion, she was accompanied by a little girl in the full moon, chubby and timid.

At that time, she couldn't sleep at night, and the full moon stayed by her all night.

Sometimes Xie Fu's eyes haven't closed yet, and the full moon has already fallen down early because of exhaustion......

It's not easy to get someone who is sincere to yourself.

For his own people, Xie Fu has always been very tolerant.

"I'm afraid I'm going to toss it for a while." Xie Fu finished applying the medicine to her, so he put the medicine box aside and pondered, "When the limelight passes in the past few days, let's go to the Star Tower." ”

"I'm afraid that the young girl has been thinking about you for a long time."

Full Moon got up, beckoned someone to serve Xie Fu to wash, and made a joke.

Xie Fu nodded, but didn't say much, and after a while, he cleaned up and lay down.

Before going to bed, she asked Full Moon again: "How is the Xie family?" ”

The full moon was about to put down the bed tent for her, and when she heard the words, she said, "I'm afraid it's just a matter of the next few days, it's almost here." ”

Xie Fu understood, lay back on the bed, hugged the brocade quilt, and closed his eyes.

The night is long, long for some and slow for others.

Before the sky opened, the news in the market had already grown wings and flew all over the capital.

The storytellers under the overpass have to collect the latest news every day, so as not to let no one listen to their stories.

Some time ago, there was a disturbance about Miss Xie Er's bid for three cents to Zhang Lizhu, and she was returned two and a half cents, and the storytellers had already made up the story thousands of times in their mouths, and they were worried when they saw that everyone was tired of listening to it.

Who would have thought......

As soon as I was worried, the expectation came!

Obediently, fifteen years later, there is a lantern in Fayuan Temple that has been bright all night!

That's a big deal!

The streets and alleys suddenly ran to tell each other, word of mouth, and they all said that Xu Wenchang was the second, and there will be a second great talent in the capital!

Everyone was excited, and the scholars inquired about each other, trying to understand what the ins and outs were.

But how to inquire, I only know that Chen Wang, the son of the father-in-law's family last night, stood in Fayuan Temple for a night, and he didn't come up with an answer after thinking about it, and because he suffered from the wind and cold outside, he fell ill and had a fever when he went home, and now the imperial doctors sent by the queen mother in the palace are still in the palace and have not come out.

Who is this riddle?

No one knows.

As soon as the morning dawned, Xie Fu, a "great talent" who had already been rumored to be "Xu Wei's second" in the streets and alleys, finally opened his eyes.

"Girl, get up quickly." The full moon lifted the curtains.

Xie Fu blinked, looked at the bright skylight, and stretched out his hand to block it: "Just get up." ”

The voice revealed a kind of laziness from the bones.

Although the man spoke, his body did not move at all.

As soon as the full moon was seen, there was an urge to faint: "You said a few days ago that you had to sort out the accounts in your hands, but yesterday the account books were still piled up on the table, and you really can't delay it." Hurry up. ”

"After a while, get up, you go and open the window. Can Handsome Speak Today? Xie Fu leaned on the pillow and diverted the topic.

“……”

The full moon now just wants to die headlong.

Yes, she knows, Xie Fu won't be able to get up before noon today!

In desperation, the full moon walked over, opened the window, and saw the fat handsome.

The parrot was handsome and didn't know that he had already turned around in front of the ghost gate last night, held his head high, and when he saw Xie Fu pushing open the window, he called out: "Second girl is good, second girl is good!" ”
