Empress Xia immediately got up to meet her, and the child pounced on her and said, "Queen Mother, the imperial brother's jade pendant has been lost, what should I do?" ”

"Cong'er's identity jade pendant?" Empress Xia's face changed greatly, "How is this good, it was given by your father, and you must not lose it." Why is Cong'er so careless, Xian'er take me over there quickly, send more people, I must find it. ”

Although Zhu Xian has bad legs and feet and is young, he has a lot of eyes, so he hurriedly pulled Queen Xia out, and said as he walked: "Just over there in the water pavilion in the imperial garden, it must be a dog slave who saw that the eldest brother was negligent and deliberately confiscated, in order to make the eldest brother make a fool of himself, it really annoys me!" ”

"Xian'er!" Empress Xia glanced at Zhu Xian, and the warning in it was overflowing.

Zhu Xian pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing that Empress Xia had forgotten Nie Shuyao and Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song hurriedly said, "The queen has something to do, please let the old lady leave the palace." ”

Although it is not good to say this, in order not to wait indefinitely, Mrs. Song had no choice but to say this. Nie Shuyao was beside her, her head lowered, and she didn't dare to look at the queen.

Empress Xia seemed to think of them at this time, after all, she was just an unfavored queen, and Wu Dinghou was a first-class lord, when the old Hou Ye had made great achievements, she couldn't do whatever she wanted with his family.

"Oh, look at the memory of this palace." Empress Xia immediately regained her grace just now, and said with a smile: "I heard that Madame has opened a detective agency in the capital?" ”

When Nie Shuyao heard this, she had a headache, her little was really not a secret in the eyes of some people, so she hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the queen's mother, it was all a foolish thing that the courtiers did when they were young, just to have fun." ”

She was most afraid that Queen Xia would use this reason and ask her to help find that jade pendant with any identity. God knows if there is a conspiracy in this matter, and the top priority is to leave the palace as soon as possible.

But Queen Xia wanted to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe she would be able to find the identity of her eldest son, the jade pendant must not be lost, it is not only a symbol of identity but also a life talisman.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It is rare for Mrs. Song to enter the palace once, so it is better to go to the imperial garden together. ”

Mrs. Song said: "In this way, the old body and the daughter-in-law thank the mother for their kindness." ”

Since the queens have said so, they will be too ignorant to resign, even if the queen is not favored, it is also the head of the harem, and they cannot be allowed to slacken.

The group walked towards the Imperial Garden, Nie Shuyao and Old Madam Song followed behind, the two glanced at each other, and they both felt helpless.

Nie Shuyao whispered: "Mother, it's all my fault, I didn't expect ......." ”

Old Madam Song suddenly held her hand and said, "Shen Yan, I don't blame you." ”

But Nie Shuyao still felt that this matter was a little strange, why did this happen when she entered the palace to thank her? She didn't believe it was her luck.

And how did Empress Xia know that she had opened a detective agency? Since she knew the name, she must know what this office does. Maybe Old Madam Song didn't open her mouth, and she would let herself go to the Imperial Garden.

Nie Shuyao has always been disgusted with royal affairs, and even Qinglian monks rarely tell her about the palace. She just hated the endless intrigues.

The scenery in the Imperial Garden is unique, and it is the largest and most beautiful garden in the Ming Dynasty. This season is also the time when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, and there are flowers everywhere.

On the edge of the water pavilion is a laurel tree, the flowers bloom just right, and the fragrance is fragrant. But the female eunuchs of the palace who stood on the side were trembling.

Empress Xia came to Zhu Cong, who was losing her temper, hugged him and comforted him again and again, "Cong'er rest, what happened to the queen mother?" ”

Zhu Cong is the first child of Emperor Zhengde, thirteen years old this year, if you don't look at his somewhat godless eyes, you will definitely think that he is an extremely good-looking emperor's eldest son. The figure is thin but straight, and it is somewhat similar to Zhu Cong's appearance.

"Yu Pei, given by my father, it's gone!" Zhu Cong stammered this sentence, and pointed to the little eunuchs and said, "Minions, die!" ”

Nie Shuyao sighed in his heart, if he is good, it is very likely that he will be made the prince, after all, it is a pity to occupy the heir and the chief.

Looking down, I just saw Zhu Cong's clenched fist, which showed how excited he was. The fist was clenched too tightly, and some of the green tendons were exposed.

A ridiculous thought suddenly rose in my heart, is this kid really stupid? If you are stupid, how can you be so angry? Although what he just said was a little stammering, it was well organized.

Empress Xia said with teary eyes: "Okay, listen to the emperor." ”

Then he raised his head, looked at the eunuchs and palace maids, and said sharply: "Who is serving the emperor today?" ”

Soon walked out of two little eunuchs who were about the same age as Zhu Cong, and one of them said: "Hui Niangniang, it's the slaves." The slave and maid have never left His Highness for a moment. ”

"Humph! Don't look for it yet. This is a jade pendant given by the emperor himself, if you can't find it, you just wait for the rod to die! At the sound of an order, there was chaos here.

Some people rowed to the small lake to look for it, some people looked for it in the nearby osmanthus forest, and more often looked for it on the edge of the water pavilion. Nie Shuyao and Old Madam Song stood aside, as if they had been forgotten.

Empress Xia personally commanded people to search, and instructed: "Don't mess around, just find a jade pendant, is it necessary to make everyone know!" ”

Nie Shuyao knew that Empress Xia's life in the palace was really not good.

While they were in the middle of this, Zhu Xian took Zhu Cong's hand and walked towards them.

After they stood beside Nie Shuyao, Zhu Xian asked, "Brother Huang, where have you been just now?" ”

Zhu Cong said: "From the osmanthus forest to the water pavilion, it is gone." ”

Nie Shuyao's eyelids jumped, glanced at Old Madam Song, who was also frowning, and said softly: "I don't know when was the last time His Highness saw the jade pendant?" ”

After Zhu Xian glanced at Nie Shuyao, he stared at Zhu Cong.

Zhu Cong still said with the same expression: "After coming out of the Gui Forest." ”

"Where did you find this jade pendant?" Nie Shuyao asked again, but her eyes were looking straight ahead, not like she was talking to someone.

Old Madam Song also looked around to help them watch people, but fortunately, those palace maids and eunuchs all went to look for jade pendants, and no one paid attention here.

Zhu Cong frowned and said, "The end of the water pavilion." ”

Nie Shuyao felt even more that the eldest prince was not stupid at all, and she looked at the road from the Guilin Forest to the end of the Water Pavilion. I found clean sand in the middle, a few strangely shaped stones, and some vegetation in the sand, all of which were low and grassy.

"Did you fall in between?"

Zhu Xian replied: "I accidentally fell next to that stone imperial brother." ”

Nie Shuyao asked again: "When you fall, who is the closest?" ”

"It's those two little minions who talk." Zhu Cong replied, his mouth pursed tightly.

"Can you search them?"

Zhu Cong nodded.

Nie Shuyao said softly: "The jade pendant is near that stone, look for it, and dig sand if you can't find it." Since everyone knows that this was given to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, no one dares to take this thing for themselves. ”R1152
