Du Zhenlan looked at the moonlight falling coldly on the ground, and suddenly remembered that Qiu Yebai looked at Wen Ran on weekdays, except that day because a few maidservants broke the hands of an old woman, and he was almost a dripping waterless in his actions, not just like this moonlight, which seemed gentle but very cold......

But it was such a gentle and cold young man who suppressed the brutal tiger with one move on the field.

She saw him riding on top of the tiger from a distance, and when he raised his hand to salute the guest of honor, she suddenly realized that the man was smiling at herself, and she was just a little bit of an intention in her head...... Now in front of that person, she inexplicably no longer wants to call herself her mother.

Du Zhenlan looked at the sky, only felt a little anxious in her heart, she suddenly squinted her eyes and said: "Auntie, go to the Green Bamboo Pavilion, I heard that the Tianshu Gongzi is back, and the palace has not practiced calligraphy for a long time, so I summoned him into the mansion." ”

The cold and desolate aura on Tianshu's body is the closest to Qiu Yebai, but it's a pity that he is too cold.

Aunt Qin glanced at Du Zhenlan, bowed expressionlessly and said, "Yes." ”

The few grandmothers who were waiting silently lowered their eyes, as if they hadn't heard anything.

……

It's just that things are always difficult to get things as expected, Du Zhenlan didn't expect that the people he thought he would see the next day would be able to get his wish, but he didn't see them until a month apart, and many abacus were lost.

――Lao Tzu is the dividing line of the cucumber of the lonely lady of the spring boudoir -

Master of Ceremonies

The three big characters are buckled on the lintel of the building with black tiles and red walls, and unlike other government offices that use black paint or gold paint to outline the font, the three characters of the celebrant are depicted with blood paint, and the crimson pillars and red walls together reveal a gloomy atmosphere, which makes people feel that they are not breathing smoothly from a distance, as if they can smell the thick bloody gas.

Autumn leaves raised his head and quietly looked at the three crimson and arrogant characters on the lintel.

From the past to the present, the celebrant has stood for more than 200 years, and the blood of the people who died inside was indeed enough to paint the wall pillars of the celebrant countless times, and I heard that there was originally an execution ground for hanging people outside the door.

He is in charge of the prison, inspecting and arresting, detecting hundreds of officials, assassinating and planting.

The general manager is the position of the master of ceremonies, which is not ashamed of the people of the world, but is also feared by the officials, and they are all called eagles and dogs.

Although the power of today's celebrant eunuchs has long been greatly weakened, the celebrant eunuchs who were originally all over the world are now only available in a few large state capitals, and the power is shrinking in the capital, which can no longer be compared to the past, and now it is in the hands of the queen mother, but it is still in charge of the edict and some of the criminal functions.

After all, it's still a place that people don't like and fear, to put it bluntly, it's a secret agency, but it still has some real power.

Unexpectedly, she still had the role of being a spy in her life, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"In front of the Yamen main hall, on weekdays, the Palm Seal Governor occasionally comes here to do business, but most of the time it is still in the back hall of Shenwu." The little eunuch who led her smiled and introduced all the way, she also nodded lightly, and her eyes swept all the way over the inner mansion building of the celebrant eunuch, although it could be seen that many details were quite exquisite, but if you looked closely, the carved beams and paintings were mottled and peeled, and they all had a decaying atmosphere.

In some places, there are even dragon pattern carvings, which is definitely beyond the system, so that she can't help but be stunned in her heart, and muttered to herself, in addition to the gloomy decay of this celebrant supervisor, the glory of the year is really eye-catching.

Everywhere the autumn leaves traveled along the way, there were factory guards of different grades looking sideways, all kinds of eyes with different light and dark, or doubtful and jealous, but they also had more ridicule and even schadenfreude.

She only didn't see it, and sneered in her heart, no matter what era, airborne elements, it is always not easy to win the hearts of the people, and there will be a big disadvantage after thinking about it for a while.

The little eunuch led Qiu Yebai all the way into the back hall of Shenwu.

She looked at the back hall of Shenwu, the red lacquer pillars, the Western glazed windows, and the eight red sandalwood gold carved Taishi chairs were arranged in the hall, and the surrounding pendant carvings were all some years old, but they could vaguely see the luxury and exquisiteness of the year.

Qiu Yebai listened to the little eunuch say that all the things in this Shenwu Houtang have not been touched for more than two hundred years, and they are still arranged according to the time when the first Lord Dugong was there, she couldn't help but muttered to herself, the master of ceremonies back then, I think he is a master with a good personality!

The little eunuch didn't see the masters in the back hall of Shenwu, and when he inquired, Lord Dugong was incense in the incense hall, and he glanced at Autumn Leaf White with some sympathy.

If you don't go through the Shenwu Hall's worship ceremony, you haven't been recognized by the adults at all, and the next road is not easy.

But he didn't dare to say more, and only led Autumn Leaf Bai to the incense hall next to him.

At the entrance of the incense hall, there were already a few big eunuchs wearing the costumes of the first and second class eunuchs in the palace, and a few military attachés dressed as a thousand generals in factory guard uniforms, but they all looked idle, not at all like waiting to meet each other with their new colleagues.

When they saw Autumn Leaf White, they only stopped looking at her face, after all, Autumn Leaf White was delicate and beautiful, wearing a black silver cloud crown, and wearing a dark royal blue Fuhu complement Wuwei brocade clothes, where could they see that Autumn Leaf White was a wonderful person dressed as a woman, and they only felt that the young man was handsome and abnormal, but after a few more glances, they continued to talk as if they hadn't seen each other.

The little eunuch smiled and followed them around: "Father-in-law, my lord, let Xiao Yanzi lead people in to see the governor." ”

"What are you arguing about, the governor is offering incense and praying for the grandfather, if you disturb the governor, you will go into the torture room in a while!" A middle-aged red-clothed eunuch with a long face swept Xiao Yanzi with a cold gaze, which frightened Xiao Yanzi and immediately shut up, just looked at Qiu Yebai hesitantly: "That's ......." ”

The red-clothed eunuch sneered and said in a sharp voice: "Wait! Then he lifted the curtain and went into the incense room.

Xiao Yanzi didn't dare to speak anymore, nodded to Qiu Yebai and followed into the curtain, she smiled faintly, didn't say much, stood outside the incense hall and waited.

She knew this was just the beginning of the dismount.

This waited until even the hour of lunch had passed, and the factory guards who were still watching the excitement outside the door also dispersed.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Xiao Yanzi poked her head out of the curtain and beckoned to her nervously, and Qiu Yebai moved her stiff legs and feet slightly and walked towards the room.

It was a full two hours later.

As soon as he entered the room, Autumn Leaf Bai instantly felt a rich and dark sandalwood fragrance in the air, and the bright light dimmed, as if he had instantly entered another dark and gloomy space.

Between the cigarette smoke, a figure wearing the costume of a master of the dark gold embroidered unicorn complement was inserting the incense into the gilded incense burner, and the red-clothed eunuch was waiting respectfully on the side.

Qiu Yebai knew that this was the great eunuch of the palm print, and the celebrant overseer Gong Zheng Jun was on the ground, she landed on one knee according to the rules, and clasped her fists without humility or arrogance: "Xiaguan Qiu Yebai see Lord Duke!" ”

After a while, a hoarse voice like a stone mill slowly sounded: "Since you are here, kowtow three times and give Master Zu a pillar of incense." ”

Xiao Yanzi immediately handed her three sticks of incense.

Autumn leaves took it, and did not hesitate, kowtowed to the first tablet, and then when he got up to insert incense, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at a painting behind the cigarette-filled tablet in astonishment.

It is a half-human-high portrait, with a fine brush, the characters are vividly depicted, the tall man on it is dressed in a purple and gorgeous embroidered dragon official uniform, sitting lazily on the gorgeous couch, under the dragon official hat, the flying eyebrows are outlined in heavy purple, a beautiful to the extreme, but also gloomy to the extreme face with a deep dark aura undisguisedly rushing to the face, people can't help but subconsciously bow their heads.

But what shocked her the most was not the dark beauty depicted on it, but the painting completely abandoning the traditional Chinese painting style of seeking ideas, and was completely Western realistic oil painting, with a fancy letter abbreviation signature - XLM at the bottom.

What does this mean?

Qiu Yebai's strange appearance obviously attracted the side eyes of Zheng Jun and others, but it fell in their eyes, and there was another explanation.

Zheng Jun's eyes flashed with a different color, and he exchanged glances with the red-clothed eunuch.

He stared at Qiu Yebai for a while, and suddenly ordered: "Since you are the person pointed out by the Queen Mother, you should go to see the wind department first." ”

Qiu Yebai came back to her senses, and happened to catch a glimpse of Xiao Yanzi's compassionate gaze, she lowered her eyes and raised her hand respectfully: "Yes." ”

Without any etiquette of meeting and seeing, without any explanation from his boss, Akiba Bai was sent away.

Watching her back disappear outside the curtain, the red-clothed eunuch suddenly said: "Dugong, you said that this surnamed Qiu, I just saw the portrait of Master Zu, could it be that he is really the confidant of Empress Dowager Du, so I know that Master Zu is ......." ”

"Whether he is or not, although our master of ceremonies has lost the scenery of the ancestor time, he can't allow any cats and dogs to come in and spread wild, if he doesn't want to die, outsiders will stay for a long time after all." Zheng Jun put his hands into his sleeves and said coldly with an unpredictable expression.
