Due to the distance and the dizziness of the old eyes, Father-in-law Tong misunderstood the object of the smile, thinking that the talented man wanted to please him.

"Hey, I've come here for a walk around here again, probably thinking that maybe I can just run into the emperor." There was undisguised contempt in Father-in-law's tone.

Such a method is too low-level in the palace.

This kind of thing of "chance encounter" may be useful for young princes in their teens, but for today's emperor, who has already been "encountered" countless times, how can it be useful?

Besides, even if it's a chance encounter, at least take some props, pick a flower or something - although it's not easy to find flowers in winter, saying that you're out to do something else, that's called a chance encounter.

Straight through, this is too fake.

The small group of people continued to move forward under the signal of the talented man in the middle, and soon staggered with Lin Hui and Tong Gonggong.

"Father-in-law Tong." The talented little master said hello with a little reserve, but his gaze crossed over to Father-in-law Tong, and stayed on Lin Hui's face for a longer time, intentionally or unintentionally.

Father-in-law Tong nodded, indicating that he heard it, but did not speak. A big eunuch of his status, of course, didn't need to salute a small talent, and then walked away with Lin Huiyang, without taking this person to heart at all.

Lin Hui felt that the situation of this talented person was strange, and she was laughing and looking at herself, but she obviously didn't mean to seduce, how strange she was.

"...... that?" It's better to ask who it is first, and have a good idea.

"Oh. It was Xie Cairen, who had not been in the palace for a long time. Father-in-law Tong laughed playfully, there are many men who are curious about the emperor's little wife, but there are very few who dare to inquire in person. is Concubine Xie Guifei's niece, and now she lives in the side hall of Linqing Palace. ”

The Xie Cairen in Gonggong Tong's mouth, Mu Ran mechanically followed the leading palace maid forward, stretched out his hand in his sleeve, held it tightly, and barely maintained his demeanor. It's just that obviously God is not guarding, and I don't know what to think, even the leading palace maid suddenly stopped. I didn't even notice when I knelt on the ground all of a sudden. was still pulled by the palace maid who was holding her arm next to her. Only then did the anomaly be discovered.

It turned out that he had already walked near the imperial study, and the brightly dressed figure in front of him should be Concubine Jin's guard of honor.

Concubine Jin is surnamed Jin, and she is a beautiful woman from the Xianbei tribe. Originally, he was just a nobleman. Because of his outstanding appearance, he is very favored by some emperors. Later, six princes were born. The mother is more expensive than her son, and she is gradually promoted to the concubine, but she does not get the title. Just by last name.

The concubine who has no title is also a concubine, and she is many levels higher than the talent.

Xie Cairen hurriedly knelt down under the pull of the palace maid.

The low-level little wife wants to kneel the senior little wife.

There is no way, the courtiers of the outer court have official ranks, and the wives of the inner court also have ranks. The so-called royal dignity is like this.

Kneel and kneel, Xie Cairen bit his lower lip tightly, and felt a trace of salty blood in his mouth, which should have been bitten.

But Concubine Jin's guard of honor did not pass by, but stopped. Xie Cairen didn't dare to raise his head, but only looked at the many shoes and hems of his clothes coming and going in front of him, including palace maids and eunuchs.

These people should be serving Concubine Jin.

The treatment of senior wives is naturally better, and the concubines have their own steps, sheltered from the wind and warm, and some people carry them away.

After another long time, Xie Cairen felt that his knees were almost unconscious on the cold ground, and suddenly felt the cool breeze brought by his clothes, but a few people came to him.

There are several pairs of shoes that are all decorated with the same black face Wufu pattern, and these are the shoes of the big palace maid - the shoes of the small palace maid cannot be decorated.

A pair of palace shoes with purple and red Shu brocade and pomegranate flowers, under the cover of the ginger horse-faced skirt, could only see half of the tip of the shoe, and stopped in front of Xie Cairen.

Xie Cairen bowed his head and bowed his head, and said, "The concubine has seen Sister Jinfei." ”

"Huh, sister?" The voice from the head was full of mockery: "The last time I saw you, you still called this palace Niangniang." If it is according to the generation, it is reasonable to call the palace an aunt. Xie Yunzhi is really willing to let such a young niece and nephew come to the palace and live in her own side hall. Do you think you can keep the emperor in this way? Hum! ”

Xie Cairen didn't say a word, but lowered his head even lower. Although it has not been a long time to enter the palace, Concubine Xie and Concubine Jin do not deal with each other, this is a well-known thing in the palace, and of course Xie Cairen also knows.

"Lift your head, what's your name?"

Xie Cairen straightened his waist, only to feel that his knees were getting more and more painful, and when he bowed his head just now, a hairpin on his head actually loosened, and it fell to the ground with a ding.

straightened up and looked much better, only to see the palace shoes in front of him suddenly retreat.

Concubine Jin took a few steps back, looked disgusted, and raised her chin at the palace maid beside her: "You go, teach her a lesson." ”

The palace maid immediately stepped forward, aimed at Xie Cairen's face, opened her bow left and right, and whipped seven or eight times in a row.

The strength is not too big, but the five fingers are together to greet him, and the sound of the whipping is very loud.

"Xie Cairen, are you guilty?" The palace maid did not retreat after the fight, but stood aside and asked coldly.

"No...... Ignorance. Why are you hitting me?! Xie Cairen was almost beaten, not in pain, but in extreme humiliation, which made people unable to react at all. I took several breaths, and the icy cold air filled my chest before I barely regained my breath.

The palace maid reacted very quickly, and immediately stepped forward and slapped a few more times.

This time, not only was his voice louder, but his strength also increased, and Xie Cairen's cheeks turned red at a visible speed.

"Don't you know your sin?" The palace maid didn't retreat this time, she stood in front of Xie Cairen, with a posture of continuing to move at any time.

"Know, know. The concubine was convicted. Xie Cairen held back the tears in his eyes and confessed in a low voice.

"Since you are convicted, tell me for yourself, what are your sins?" The palace maid moved to the side and let Xie Cairen confess to Concubine Jin.

But...... I really don't know what kind of sin it is...... Xie Cairen looked at the palace maid who was supporting him on the left in a panic, hoping to get some hints.

No, there are no hints. The palace maid who was traveling with her bowed her head directly to the ground, and she didn't see Xie Cairen's gaze at all.

Xie Cairen, who didn't speak for a long time, was unsurprisingly pumped again.

Syllable! Syllable!

"Seeing Concubine Jin's guard of honor, if you don't kneel down in time to avoid it, this crime is one."

The palace maid was obviously very experienced, and while she was unhurried, she counted the charges of Xie Cairen.

Syllable! Syllable!

"Concubine Jin asked your name, and she didn't answer, which is the second crime."

Syllable! Syllable!

"The hairpin ring is not tight, and the mother loses his honor in front of the mother, this crime is three."

Syllable! Syllable!

"I don't even know what mistakes I made, I don't know the palace rules, this crime is four."

Syllable! Syllable!

"Knowing is knowing is not knowing is not knowing, and pretending to know if you don't know the sin, this sin is five."

Syllable! Syllable! ……

This time, it took more than 20 pumps before stopping. (To be continued......)
