Chapter 164: Prologue (2)
In the main hall, the top is clearly distinguished, and there are female officials with solemn faces, and a young eunuch with a hooked nose.
Is this Zhao Gonggong? The seven girls glanced at it very quickly, and they could sit side by side with the female official Fu assigned by the queen's mother, and it was conceivable that the power was not small.
This man is in his early twenties, and his face is white. Dressed in moon-white satin, embroidered with moire, and a crown of skillful warriors on his head. It is clearly a sharp facial feature, but the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and when looking at people, the smile is far-fetched and strange, not as good as the bottom of the eyes. The figure is thin, the close-fitting official robe, lined like a bamboo pole, at a glance, the width of the shoulders is almost the same as that of the female official Fu sitting next to him. There is a bit of a smoky and flattering girlish atmosphere between the lines, and a few steps away, you can vaguely smell the faint smell of fat powder.
"Father-in-law Wan An, female official Wan An. Today afternoon, it was the errand of these two palace maids, Lu Mingxuan. Fang Cai still had a terrible face, and as soon as he entered the hall, the aunt who led the way was already respectful and servile.
"Both of them are girls from the Jiang family in Tailong County, the eldest one is Jiang Wu, and the younger one is seventh."
Zhao Gonggong bowed his head slightly, leaned forward, and carefully looked at the two people standing with his hands hanging down, and then slowly raised his hand, sat back, and ordered the aunt who replied to retreat to the side.
"Jiang Wu. Jiang Qi. In the empty hall, a sharp and raised voice suddenly sounded, like a sharp instrument repeatedly scraping the glass beads, causing people to shiver from hair to heels, and shiver all over their bodies, and their backs were cold.
"The slave has seen her father-in-law." After the roll call, you will naturally be courteous. The seventh girl clasped her hands on her side waist, slightly blessed, lowered her eyes, and tried her best to hide her feelings.
"Raise your head and tell our family to take a good look at how the girl from the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River looks like a water spirit."
The seventh girl's heart was clenched, but these words were extremely rude. It clearly carries the meaning of humiliation. His eyelashes trembled, and he was about to raise his head, but he heard that on the high platform, the female official Fu was soft and slow, and interjected with a chuckle.
"My father-in-law came here today, is it for interrogation, or is there something else important? I privately thought that it was better not to bring those indiscriminate and indiscriminate people to this Yanhua Palace. ”
Female Officer Fu held the fan with both hands, her face was calm and calm, but she couldn't help worrying in her heart. This incident did not surprise her. There was no time to arrange, so the eunuch took advantage of the loophole. Now I just hope that Gu Zuojian can come up with a way to save the seventh girl as soon as possible.
Opposite? The five girls' expressions changed greatly, but fortunately, they buried their heads and didn't let anyone notice anything unusual.
The high-ranking eunuchs in the palace heard that they all have a preference for finding the right food in private. raised a palace maid in the courtyard of the master's reward, and it should not be seen by others. Because he is a wasted person, his mind is also wasted. Men and women can't really taste it, so they think of ways to humiliate people to death. Many palace maids were forced to eat against their fathers-in-law, and the end was extremely miserable.
The fifth girl was frightened in her heart, and the seventh girl was silent, burying her head low, and others couldn't see it, frowning slightly. If she heard it correctly, then when the aunt asked for peace, she put Zhao Gonggong before the female official.
Female official Fu is already a female official in the queen's palace, and her rank can be better than that of female official Fu, and then she has to go up...... The seventh girl's mind was racing, and after a little thought, she immediately guessed the origin of this Zhao Gonggong.
This is also the deputy head of the celebrant superintendent. She is just a newcomer to the palace, and the little palace maid who has not yet been assigned errands can alarm the deputy chief administrator to interrogate herself?
The seventh girl was suspicious, and at first she guessed that the celebrant was deliberately making things difficult, one was because of her humble family background, and the other was because she provoked the dislike of the county lord of You'an. Now, however, things seemed much more complicated than she had anticipated. Just one You'an, I'm afraid that I will ask the deputy chief of the immovable master of ceremonies to come forward.
"What does Lady Fu mean by this? Our family is here to share the king's worries and do serious errands. He cocked his tail finger, picked the crown belt, and stroked it slowly. Zhao Gonggong snorted coldly, thinking of that person's explanation, he finally held back and forcibly suppressed his hesitation.
He is the godson recognized by the chief of ceremonies, and he has always acted unscrupulously, relying on the prestige of the inner court, and he has taken refuge in Gongzicheng, and few people do not want to collide with him. I met an ignorant child today, and I will have her good fruit to eat when I turn around! With cold eyes, he glanced obliquely at the female official Fu who was sitting beside him, and Zhao Gonggong frowned, just taking the two under him to get angry.
"Is that the Lu Mingxuan that you two cleaned?"
"Back to my father-in-law, it's the two slaves and maids."
"Just admit it. Keep your eyes open and see, what is this? After that, he raised his hand and threw an object on the case at the feet of the two of them, served the tea, and waited for the two of them to reply.
The seventh girl heard that the object fell to the ground, and knocked it into the palace room paved with "Beijing bricks", with a crisp sound, clear and bright. Looking for prestige, it is a palm-sized, arc-shaped piece of broken porcelain. Upside down on the ground, the celadon glaze of the gold edge is depicted on it, the color is clear, the texture is delicate, and it is not ordinary at first sight.
At first, there were three points of doubt, but after looking at it carefully, the seven girls' eyes shrank, and they paid attention to the faces of the five girls beside them.
Sure enough, Jiang Rou's face was pale at the moment, and a drop of crystal sweat ran down the corner of her forehead across the side of her face. The two looked at each other, and in an instant, they already figured out that today's errand of Lu Mingxuan, from beginning to end, fell into the trap of others. The two of her were unaware of it, and they had been calculated.
The seven girls didn't see the origin of this porcelain piece at a glance, but the five girls were frightened for a moment. Such a glaze pattern, isn't it the pair of blue and white porcelain vases that she wiped with her twelve points of caution in Lu Mingxuan?
After she and her seventh sister finished their errands, when they exited the door, it was clear that it was still properly placed on the Hundred Treasure Pavilion. Now it was broken, and the two of them came to ask for the guilt......
The five girls gritted their teeth, knowing that it was useless to defend themselves, but finally leaned over and kowtowed, and replied in a trembling voice.
"Father-in-law. If the slave is not mistaken, this fragment should be from the blue and white porcelain vase of the crane boy in Lumingxuan. The slave and maid wiped it with their own hands today and placed it on the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. When I went out, I was still intact, and I would never dare to mess up my errand and hide it and not report it. I also ask my father-in-law and female official to know it. After saying that, he kowtowed heavily, and he had only been in the palace for a long time, and he had already realized the selfishness of the harem without blood.
The seventh girl knelt down obediently, and the broken hair on her forehead blocked many thoughts in her eyes. A pair of small hands rested on their knees, clenched into fists. The verbal dispute is in vain, since it has been calculated by others, there is no basis for the oral statement, and the crime that wants to be added to it, how can it escape? Unless, unless, the real evildoer can be found.
couldn't help but sigh sadly, her eyes fell on the green pipa sleeves covered with her knees, and the seven girls' brains swirled, and her hidden eyes gradually rose to smear brilliance.
Zhao Gonggong saw that the two of them were frightened, and knelt deeply, his spine still trembling slightly; The other is even more unbearable, burying his head from beginning to end, afraid that he will be frightened and scattered, when has he seen such a scene.
So he dusted off his official robe, shook his neckline, pinched his throat, didn't care what was clear, and slapped the case loudly and was convicted.
"Today, you two Lu Mingxuan are on an errand. Before the two of you entered the house, the vase was very good, and it was a rare fine swallow porcelain from the previous dynasty. By the evening of the inspection of the courtyards, the porcelain vase had fallen under the shelf, scattered, and the skeleton was scattered. The two of you don't want to talk about empty words, thinking that you should have not placed it properly before leaving, so that such a disaster was caused. He was convicted of an unfavorable offense, and each received twenty canes, and was claustrophobic in a dark room for three days. No one is allowed to visit. ”
When the words fell, Zhao Gonggong raised his hand and was about to ask someone to escort the two of them down. There are many dreams at night, and it is good to end it early. When he came, Gongzi Cheng had already told him that behind this female official, in addition to the prince and the queen, there was also the lord who was supporting him.
Gu Zuojian has never had a friendship with him, and he hasn't seen him a few times. It's the head of the Imperial Prison under his hand...... Zhao Gonggong rubbed his hands and rubbed his arms, there are always some people in Yanjing City who make him especially jealous. Just like that week, the fight is like hemp, and the official position is all the future of the fight. If it weren't for the support of the Taiwei Mansion behind him and the king's favor, no matter how much courage he had, he would not be willing to confront the imperial prison.
