"Girl?" Yin'er's gentle voice sounded.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhen greeted him with a smile and said, "My aunt came so early today, so Zhu Zhen had time to start writing." ”

Yin'er smiled and said, "Girl, let's take a rest today, the master invites the girl to come over and talk." ”

Concubine De looking for herself? It's hard for her old man to finally remember herself, Zhu Zhen said "Amitabha" several times in her heart, and said in her heart, maybe she wants to let herself go back to Concubine Liang.

After straightening his clothes slightly, the bamboo basket went out with Yin'er. To be honest, it has been a few days since I came to Huating, but Zhu Zhen has not gone out in this Buddhist hall, and today I went to the upper room with Yin'er, only to take the opportunity to take a look at the general appearance of the Defei Pavilion, only to feel that there are a lot of water stones, and there is quite a bit of the taste of Leshan and Leshui in it.

Before entering Concubine De's courtyard, the bamboo basket hung his head early. I don't have much contact with Concubine De, and I don't know what kind of temperament she has, but I can't be wrong to be polite.

Entering the house, Concubine De was leaning on an ear pillow, snorting hazelnuts, while laughing with a few palace maids, thinking that the deep palace life of these ladies is not as beautiful as it seems. Concubine Liang has a weak temperament, and she doesn't think much of it, but if she changes to someone else who has some thoughts, I'm afraid that her heart will be even more bitter.

The bamboo basket greets in a proper manner, and is extremely obedient. Concubine De saw that the bamboo basket was coming, but she didn't look angry, took the handkerchief handed by a palace maid and cleaned her hands, and then smiled and asked the bamboo basket to come closer, and joke with the other palace maids.

The bamboo basket passed steadily, and it stopped at a distance of half a meter, but asked Concubine De to point at the two palace maids with a smile and pull her to Concubine De to sit down. Where do you dare? This is Concubine De! It's not that she laughs kindly like an aunt next door, she is really an aunt next door, that is the princess of the middle school, the future queen mother.

Zhu Zhen struggled to get up, and said "don't dare" in his mouth, but he couldn't shirk it, so he only heard Concubine De turn around and say to a palace maid beside her: "Yun'er girl, go and bring the bracelet." ”

A palace maid with gorgeous eyebrows and eyes and a little practice retreated.

Zhu Zhen said in his heart, probably Concubine De wanted to bring back a gift to Concubine Liang, the concubine in this palace, don't you like your sister to give your sister this today, and tomorrow your sister will honor your sister, if you don't send it, there will be a problem. Thinking like this, Zhu Zhen didn't take it seriously.

Laughing, the news outside, the fourteenth elder brother came to say goodbye to Concubine De. The bamboo basket saw it clearly, and Concubine De's eyes were really happy.

His eyebrows and eyes have the shadow of Kangxi, but the shape of his lips is very similar to that of Concubine De, which is thinner. Thinking of the history after a long time, Zhu Zhen Dao, maybe it is really the thin-lipped person who is thin-lipped, and she is also her biological son, but she is so favoritism, and she even refuses to be his imperial mother. And what about him? Does it also respond to this saying, ruthless and cold?

Zhu Zong's thoughts were awakened by the sound of the curtain, and in the center of the room, the fourteenth elder brother in a green robe was leaning over to greet Concubine De, although he didn't see his face, he felt that his whole person exuded a kind of vigorous vitality, and the little boy who was proud that day grew up.

Zhu Zhen followed the other palace maids to greet the fourteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother called out indifferently, and ran into Concubine De's arms, "Eniang Eniang" called non-stop, until Concubine De's face smiled like a flower.

In the end, he hasn't grown up yet, and he praised him in vain, Zhu Zhen sighed in his heart. Suddenly, I thought of the thirteenth elder brother, he was only one year older than the fourteenth elder brother, but he seemed to be much older than him, especially since Taishan came back, he has become more mature and stable. It seems that people still need to be experienced, so that they can grow faster.

The two were gossiping, and Zhu Zhen didn't have the heart to listen, but suddenly heard Concubine De mention herself, and she was busy cheering up.

I only heard Concubine De say: "Don't grind me, this Chuxiu Palace has been rummaged through, and I haven't asked, the purse looks ordinary, where can I find the first few thousand people in this palace?" She pointed to the bamboo basket again and said, "Keqiao'er, she is on an errand in Chuxiu Palace, so you can ask her, but you have heard of such a person, if not, I will make you die as soon as possible." ”

Hearing Concubine De say this, the palms of Zhu Gong suddenly sweated, and he never thought that the fourteenth elder brother had actually looked for him, not only that, but the matter also came to Concubine De, and I don't know how many people still know? It's just that the movement is so big, why hasn't she heard of it? Didn't you do it when you were transferred to the Qianqing Palace?

Zhu Zhen only felt that his legs were cramping, did he admit it? Or do you just say you don't know? This purse is embroidered by Ruoqing, only the three of them have it, if the early morning out of the palace, although Huai Ying was on an errand in Yonghe Palace before, now he has also entered the fourth master's mansion. As long as no one has seen their purses, there must be no problem, otherwise the fourteenth elder brother would not have found anyone by now. Thinking about this, Zhu Zhen was a little relieved, but he was worried that the fourteenth elder brother would recognize himself, if he didn't recognize it, it would be easy to do, but if he was asked to recognize it, he lied again, it would be terrible! For a while, Zhu Zhen couldn't make up his mind.

Over there, the fourteenth elder brother had already opened his mouth, and he said to Zhu Zheng: "Are you an errand boy in Chuxiu Palace?" Hearing that the bamboo basket should be, he said, "Have you ever seen this purse?" The fourteenth elder brother took out the purse.

Zhu Zhen glanced at the purse, isn't it the one Ruoqing gave him? There was also a white jade ring given to her by Huai Ying, and the bamboo basket shook her head and said, "The slave maid has never seen it." ”

The fourteenth elder brother saw that Zhu Zhen blindly lowered her head, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but she was a little annoyed, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "You raised your head and talked back, look carefully, don't be mistaken!" ”

Zhu Zhen replied "yes", raised his head slightly, pretended to look carefully, and replied: "The slave doesn't recognize it." After saying just one sentence, my heart was already beating hard.

Seeing that Zhu Zhengdao didn't know, the fourteenth elder brother couldn't hide his disappointed look, and after several inquiries, he still didn't give up. Until the end, Concubine De couldn't see it, and stopped the words of the fourteenth elder brother with a smile, and said: "You just let this girl go, I don't know if she thinks about it, you just interrogate again, what can you ask?" asked Eniang to say, that girl probably doesn't serve in Chuxiu Palace, otherwise, how could she not find this person? ”

Although the fourteenth elder brother was unwilling, he didn't ask any more questions in the end, and talked to Concubine De about something else, only occasionally glancing at the bamboo basket with an inquiring gaze, only to bluff the bamboo basket and not dare to raise his head.

"Master Qiqi, you can get the things." Yun'er came in with a tray and a brocade box on it.

"You girl will be lazy, tell you to go and get something, why did it take so long?" The fourteenth elder brother came to ask for peace, Concubine De was in a good mood, but she didn't really blame Yun'er, she only laughed and said.

"Back to the master, when the slave and maid came back, they ran into the thirteenth master, and the thirteenth master asked a few words, and the slave and maid were delayed." Yun'er replied.

"Why don't you see him come in? Missed this time in vain. Concubine De asked with a smile and glanced at the bamboo basket again.

"The thirteenth master originally wanted to come to greet his master, but when the emperor summoned him, he hurriedly went to the Qianqing Palace, and said that he would come to talk to the master later." Yun'er said softly.

Concubine De nodded and said, "It's important to get down to business." As he spoke, he said to Zhu Zong: "Zhu Zong, why don't you continue soon?" Look at your hard work copying Buddhist scriptures these days, reward you to wear it and play with it. ”

Hearing Concubine De say this, Zhu Zheng realized that this was actually a reward given to him by Concubine De, and he was so shocked that he looked up at Concubine De, and was facing the eyes of the fourteenth elder brother, only to see that his eyes changed, Zhu Zhen lowered his head again, and said: "The master of virtue loves and serves the master, it is a matter of slaves and maids, how dare you ask for merit and reward?" ”

Concubine De said with a smile: "I invited the person, copied the scriptures of these days, and asked me to send them back empty-handed, maybe how your master complains about me in his heart!" ”

Zhu Zhen hurriedly said: "The good master often thinks that you are generous-hearted, how can you have resentment in vain? The slave and maid can be selected by the virtuous master, which is the blessing of the slave and the maid for several generations, and the good master is also the creation of the slave and the maid! ”

Hearing this, Concubine De smiled and said to the palace maids around her: "You can learn from this girl Zhuzhen, when it comes to sweetness, none of you can compare!" ”

The palace maids standing on the side also responded.

The fourteenth elder brother, who had been silent, said: "E-niang, what is the name of this girl?" ”

Concubine De said: "Zhu Zheng, look at this name, clear and bright, it really deserves such a clear person!" ”

"Bamboo basket? Bamboo? The fourteenth elder brother muttered, and he was shocked in Zhu Zhen's ears. The purses of the three of them, Ruoqing is a hibiscus flower, Huaiying is a calla lily, and the bamboo basket is a few green bamboos, I just hope that the fourteenth elder brother will not make any associations. Fortunately, the fourteenth elder brother didn't dwell on this question anymore, but turned to ask Concubine De with a smile: "What rare objects did Eniang reward this girl for, and also made her son addicted?" ”

Concubine De smiled and slapped the fourteenth elder brother's hand, and said, "How old a person is, and he is not stable." Then he said to Yun'er, "I'll show you the fourteenth master!" ”

"Yes." Yun'er walked around to the fourteenth elder brother, opened the box, and showed it to the fourteenth elder brother.

Zhu Zhen didn't dare to raise his head, what if he looked at the fourteenth elder brother again, let him think of something again?

I only heard the fourteenth elder brother laugh and said: "E-Niang is also stingy, this girl has copied these Buddhist scriptures for you, her hands are sore, and her eyes are also painful, E-Niang has so many treasures, why are you reluctant to pick a better one?" ”

Concubine De scolded with a smile: "You kid, but you don't have any memory, this bracelet is ......"

Without waiting for Concubine De to finish speaking, the fourteenth elder brother said: "Eniang, it's good for my son to look at the jade bracelet of Fang Qiu pear, anyway, Eniang has a lot of treasures, so the bracelet will reward her." ”

Hearing this, Concubine De was stunned, looked at the fourteenth elder brother, and saw that although he was smiling, his eyes were very serious, and he didn't know how to make a decision for a while. After a while, she said: "It's not that Eniang is reluctant to have a bracelet, but the bracelet has not been worn for a long time, and I am reluctant to read ...... your emperor Amma."

The fourteenth elder brother somehow accepted the smile and said, "It's decided?" ”

Concubine De hesitated for a while, and when the fourteenth elder brother saw this, he suddenly became angry, and casually ordered a palace maid, saying, "Go, bring the bracelet of the autumn pear to the master." ”

The palace maid glanced at Concubine De, and when she saw that Concubine De didn't stop her, she went down in response, and after a while, she came back with a tray.

The fourteenth elder brother wanted to get up, but Concubine De dragged him and said, "I want to reward people with Eniang's bracelet so much, just look for another one, where do you have to look at this one?" ”

The fourteenth elder brother regained his playful look, and Lai Pi said: "My son looks at this girl very suitable, and Eniang should be a lottery to reward her son's birthday this year!" As he spoke, he threw himself into Concubine De's arms again.

Zhu Zhen quietly listened to the words of the mother and son on the side, and heard it in a daze, and when she heard it, she saw that even the emperor had pulled it in, and she was even more confused. The bamboo basket was big for a while. Although it feels a little outrageous, it is not impossible, after all, this is ancient times, or in the palace, where does the relationship between men and women need to be measured by age? It's just that she is a person from Chuxiu Palace, and logically speaking, Concubine De should not be disposed of, otherwise wouldn't it make Concubine Liang's face dull? Zhu Zhen's whole mind rushed to this, and he didn't hear what the two of them said later.

In the end, Concubine De did not persuade the fourteenth elder brother, and finally asked the fourteenth elder brother to put the bracelet on the wrist of the bamboo hoop. The bamboo basket didn't struggle much, only symbolically excused himself, and then saluted and thanked him. After all, compared to the bracelet that I have never seen, this bracelet is always much safer.

After packing up her things, Aunt Yin'er sent the bamboo basket all the way out of Tatehuating, and then instructed the little palace maid to send the bamboo basket back, and then folded it back.

I hadn't gone far when I heard someone shouting from behind, "Stop! ”

Zhu Zhen and the little palace maid subconsciously stopped, looked back, and saw that it was the fourteenth elder brother, and Zhu Zhen complained bitterly in his heart. The fourteenth elder brother had already followed after a few steps, and the two of them were busy greeting him. After calling up, the fourteenth elder brother said to the palace maid: "You go back, I'll send her." ”

The little palace maid replied, "Yes." He handed the bamboo basket to Concubine Liang the things that Concubine De had asked her to bring to Concubine Liang, and then retreated.

Only himself and the fourteenth elder brother are left, Zhu Zhen is a little short of breath, after all, he is hiding things, and I don't know what the fourteenth elder brother's temperament is, but just looking at him in front of Concubine De, I am afraid that he is a spoiled master, if he knows that he is hiding from him and messing with him, his life will not be easy.

Zhu Zhen said softly: "What do you have to tell the Fourteenth Master?" ”

The fourteenth elder brother kept looking at the bamboo basket, smiling and silent. Zhu Zhen's heart was furious, but the fourteenth elder brother didn't speak, and he didn't want to ask again, so he just lowered his head and waited for him to speak.

After a while, I saw the fourteenth elder brother take two steps closer, raised his hand on the top of the bamboo basket and compared it to himself, and said, "Good girl, she is growing faster than I imagined!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zheng raised his head, and the top of his head happened to touch the palm of the fourteenth elder brother, and Zhu Zheng hurriedly took two steps back. I reacted in my heart, the fourteenth elder brother is comparing his height with himself, and the secret way is not good, this kid is probably remembered, it's over, if he investigates it, he really can't eat and walks around.

I didn't want to, but the fourteenth elder brother didn't ask her, he still smiled brightly, and he said, "Fang is just at Eniang's place, why don't you admit it?" ”

Zhu Zhen pursed her lips and didn't answer, did she want to tell the truth?

"Why don't you answer? I was like this at Eniang's place just now, I thought you were cowardly, but now it seems that you are turning your eyes there to see how to cover up the past. The fourteenth elder brother smiled harmlessly, but his eyes shone with essence.

"The slave didn't know how to answer for a while, and she was afraid that the master would blame her, so she ...... "Pretending to be weak, the bamboo basket made up her mind.

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you." The fourteenth elder brother looked at the bamboo basket for a while and said, "Raise your head and speak." ”

Now that he has seen through it, there is no point in lowering his head again, hearing him say this, Zhu Zhen also raised his head. At this time, she had the strength to look at the fourteenth elder brother, if you talk about appearance, she is more handsome than the fourth beyler, with a heroic aura all over her body, with a natural pride and dignity, shining everywhere. The lips of both of them followed Concubine De.

"Why don't you ask me how I recognized you?" The fourteenth elder brother said with a smug smile.

"Then, how did the Fourteenth Master recognize the slave?" That smile made Zhu Zhen regain a little bit of the feeling he had when he first met.

"The first moment I looked at you, I felt very familiar, but I wasn't sure, after all, so long time has passed, and I can't remember much of your appearance." This, Zhu Zhen agreed, just one side, and his appearance is not surprising, not to mention that he is a playful and forgetful child, after these months, where can he remember his appearance.

Seeing Zhu Zhen nodding, the fourteenth elder brother was even more interested, pulled out a handkerchief from his cuffs, and said, "Look at this!" Zhu Zhen looked at his appearance of offering treasures, very funny, looked at the handkerchief twice, it was just an ordinary Supa, and felt that there was nothing special, and looked at the fourteenth elder brother inquiringly.

Seeing that Zhu Zhen did not react, the fourteenth elder brother frowned in some frustration and said, "What is your memory of this girl?" I don't even remember my handkerchief, but I've been carrying it for a long time. Once he didn't want to fall out, he called Brother Ten to laugh at him. ”

Hearing him say this, the bamboo basket unfolded the handkerchief again, and couldn't help but take a breath, the handkerchief embroidered two limerick poems, "When did the mandarin ducks hug each other, the ducks watched the excitement on the side", at that time I thought it was fun, Yang Ruoqing embroidered it for herself, and the payment of the "basket", she originally wanted to embroider the "Bird", how could Ruoqing be wrong, she was not good at explaining anything. This handkerchief naturally can't be used usually, so she received it in her purse, if it wasn't for the fourteenth elder brother to take it out, she would have forgotten about this stubble.

"Where did you hear this nonsense? It's interesting, too. The fourteenth elder brother said with a smile.

Zhu Zhen lowered his head in resignation and said in a low voice: "The slave and maid forgot." ”

The fourteenth elder brother didn't care, and asked, "Is it your small character?" ”

Of course not!

"It's just a mess when I'm playing with my sisters, and the slave doesn't have small print." Zhu Zhen held her forehead, although her heart was on the verge of collapse, but she was also glad that the fourteenth elder brother did not blame her for deception.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, and I've personally seen the palace maids in Chuxiu Palace, but I haven't seen you again, are you deliberately hiding?"

Zhu Zhen thought for a while and said: "The slave maid has never heard of the fourteenth master looking for the slave maid, nor has he deliberately avoided it, the slave maid was selected and transferred to the Qianqing Palace to serve, presumably this is the reason." ”

"I'm thinking you're deliberately avoiding me, but that's fine. The past is not to blame, and the days to come are still long. The fourteenth elder brother smiled brightly.

Zhu Zhen was a little dazed by his laughter, I don't know if the sun is too big, I just feel that the fourteenth elder brother in front of me coincides with him, the mouth is open, and Zhu Zhen can't tell who is talking.
