"He Sizan sits."

Zhu Qiming was half-lying on the seat, with a hangover from last night still in his mind, and his eyes were a little confused.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

He Ye, the director of the Shangyi Bureau, bowed slightly, but refused to take a seat, raised his head and looked at Zhu Qiming quietly, his face was serene, and his posture was calm.

Hey, I really met a fat female officer! Zhu Qiming tilted his head and looked at He Ye a few times, thinking that he had suddenly become majestic, everyone was afraid, and everyone was worried, but now a female official who had been immersed in the elegant atmosphere of the palace for a long time dared to look directly at his dignity so "presumptuously", and there was no fear on her face.

This is simply an unbridled provocation!

"He Sizan, how is this king's golden mask?"

"It's beautiful!"

He Ye arched his hand, and the wide long sleeves were put together, looking like a curtain that was one size smaller. When he looked up, there was a smile in his eyes, as if he was sincerely admiring the chic of the gold mask.

Zhu Qiming felt a sense of excitement in his heart when facing a strong challenge, and his tone was slightly excited: "This king took off the golden mask and gave it to He Sizan to see, how about it?" ”

Over there, Yin'er and Qu Qing were all in unison, and the corners of their mouths began to twitch.

"Your Highness, this can't be helped, the Queen Mother has an order, to ask Her Highness to wear a gold mask at all times, if His Royal Highness takes off the gold mask at will, the slaves and maids will be punished!"

The golden mask didn't grow on the king's face, so he should always take it off when he went to bed, right? This reason is not valid! So, Zhu Qiming smiled evilly and slowly raised his hands.

Qu Qing's fingers were trembling, "Your Highness! At present, the autumn wind is strong, the cold is heavy, and it is easy to catch a cold when you take off the gold mask, please think twice! ”

Do you have to think twice about taking a mask? Zhu Qiming raised his eyes and looked out of the door, and saw that the courtyard was shrouded in a smoke screen of drizzle, and the breeze was coming, but there was no coolness.

Will you catch a cold too? Ridiculous! Zhu Qiming raised his neck and quickly put his hands on the mask.

"Actually, the concubine has seen this golden mask in the Xianxi Palace." He Ye lowered his head slightly, his expression was still so calm, "The concubine has also seen His Highness's appearance after the evil poison invaded her body, but Her Highness was unconscious at the time, and she didn't know that the concubine had come to the other courtyard." ”

What a failure! Zhu Qiming hung his hands in frustration, just trying to find the residual palpitation on He Ye's face, but in addition to being elegant, it was calm.

"Why did you come to the other courtyard?"

"Does Your Highness mean the day after falling into the water?" He Ye slowly raised his head, his gaze fell on the golden mask, "It is inconvenient for the Jingci Immortal Master to come and visit His Highness, so the concubine will come over to take a look at the situation, and then go to report to the Jingci Immortal Master in detail." ”

Jingci Immortal Master? Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered the strange "insult" he suffered near the hospital, and suddenly felt that Immortal Master Jingci didn't even have the right to scold. A good wife and a beautiful concubine? How can I have a good wife and a beautiful concubine like this!

"Who are you Jingci Immortal Master?"

"In terms of relatives, Qin Huifei's mother is the concubine's aunt, and Jingci Immortal Master is Qin Huifei's aunt."

Wait, aunt of my aunt's daughter, it's a bit of a twist. Well, why bother with such things? It's better to think about Qin Huifei, that woman with a bit of fairy aura is still quite interesting.

"After Qin Huifei heard what happened to His Royal Highness, she entrusted her concubine body to His Highness······" He Ye suddenly paused.

Don't! The woman of the Son of Heaven gave a gift to an unmarried prince, it was a shocking scandal!

After a while, a stronger voice emerged in Zhu Qiming's mind: You are all like this, what kind of saint are you pretending? A fairy-like concubine secretly sends a gift to a young prince, how nervous and mysterious, isn't everyone playing exciting!

So, he sat upright, leaned forward, and looked at He Ye with longing.

"Concubine Qin Hui entrusted her concubine to give His Royal Highness a sentence: There is an antidote to poison in the world, and this evil poison should be solvable."

Cut! Net useless nonsense! Zhu Qiming leaned back in the chair, and most of his spirit was gone.

"What are you here for?"

His Royal Highness was reprimanded by the emperor in the Mukden Hall that day, and afterwards the Korean envoy Li Bian and the Ryukyu envoy Yoshichi were frankly reluctant to go, and asked someone to give His Highness gifts to make amends. Oh, that's it. ”

Please? Will the emperor be so tolerant? Zhu Qiming immediately recalled the scene of Fengtian Temple that day. He stirred up the etiquette of a court meeting, and the emperor was furious, but after the stern reprimand, he only ordered a group of internal officials to "gift" him out of the palace and "escort" him back to the courtyard, and there was no follow-up after that.

It's not that he hasn't pleaded, but there are only three people named "Jiang Yuan" in the entire inner chamberlain, two of whom are in their seventies, lying on the sickbed waiting for death, and the other can still be on an errand, but every step he moves seems to exert all his strength, and his age must be sixty-seven or eight, not to mention seventy.

The inner chamberlain searched for three days according to his name and appearance, and concluded that there was no such person. In this way, the so-called statement of entering the Fengtian Temple through Jiang Yuan's decree has become a self-defeating lie, and it is inconvenient for others to say it, but I am afraid that they have already come to the conclusion that "King Yue lied" in their hearts!

Although the emperor did not issue a strict ban to the owner of the other courtyard as a punishment, Zhu Qiming understood that he had to pay a big enough price for the "abruptness" of that day. Everything has to be realized, stay in the courtyard honestly, and don't be scary anymore!

Hmph, the identity of the eunuch is absolutely impossible to pretend, that Jiang Yuan must be a famous servant, and he is also a senior waiter who has been trained for a long time, this matter is beyond doubt. Since Jiang Yuan is not an attendant in the Forbidden City, where does he come from? Being able to move freely in the Imperial City is definitely not something that ordinary people can do!

If the people outside conspire with the traitors in the Forbidden City, it will be intriguing······

"Your Highness, the gift is on the bookcase."

Zhu Qiming's thoughts were summoned back to reality by He Ye. Thinking that he had never received a gift from a foreign envoy, if he hadn't accidentally entered the Fengtian Temple that day, how could he have been treated by Li Bian and Ji Jitan as an exception? Hehe, this is also a lost harvest of mulberry elm!

"He Sizan, if the gift is too valuable, this king will not dare to accept it rashly."

"The concubine has said that this matter has been requested." He Ye's gaze shifted to the bookcase, "Li Bian sent a Luodian comb letter, and Ji Jitan sent a gold and silver powder box. ”

Zhu Qiming turned his head to look at the bookcase, and saw that there were two things on the case, one large and one small, the slightly larger one was colorful, and the slightly smaller one was golden. A North Korean specialty and a favorite of many women in the Forbidden City, the Raden comb is used to hold combs of various colors, made of mahogany, with luminous snail shells embedded in the surface. And the gold and silver powder box is a special box for women to hold fat powder, made of sterling silver, embedded with several pieces of gold, gold and silver show are openworked, very exquisite, such a powder box is the most prestigious produced in the Ryukyu country, among the countless noble women in the Ming Dynasty, the gold and silver powder box produced in the Ryukyu can be described as a box is hard to find!

Suddenly, a scene from seven years ago came to his mind. One day that year, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager sent people to the Yue Mansion to send a reward, and the Empress Dowager's reward included a luodian pen letter, and Concubine Wu's reward also had a gold and silver bookcase! The purpose of the reward is very different from the gift in front of you, but the shape is the same!

From that day when he was rewarded in the Temple of Storage, the trajectory of his life began to deviate significantly, and everything was changing. Seven years later, like a replay of the past, a similar gift came into view, and at a glance, I suddenly felt that I had a big dream, and to this day, the big dream continues.

"These two things are all women's products, what is the use of this king?"

His tone was not sentimental, it was all indifferent. After seven years, he has experienced too many things in the world, and he understands that life will be ups and downs, just like now, he has to take the defensive position and usher in a low point in his life······

"His Royal Highness is not rare, but the future Princess Yue can use it."

It's really a pot that can't be opened! Zhu Qiming shook his head, and He Ye knew that he should leave.

"The concubine said goodbye."

After He Ye left, Zhu Qiming walked away Yin'er and Quqing, got up by the window, and continued to sort out the thoughts that were disturbed by He Ye.

If Lu Xiyu didn't come to the other courtyard, his contact channel with Yang Pu was cut off. Needless to say, the investigation of the old case caused the unhappiness of the Son of Heaven, and most of the things that secretly affected the candidates of the Middle Palace made the Son of Heaven see through it, and the two things together, the Son of Heaven was not suspicious!

Tracing back to the roots, today's passivity still comes from the big drama that happened in Yongsu Palace! If you miss Xining, you will be startled, and it will inevitably lead to a fierce counterattack from that powerful force.

It's just that there is a question here: there are only four masters and servants left in the courtyard, wouldn't it be a hundred to replicate an accident like he did when he fell into the water, why change his wrist and design to let himself gradually lose his "favor" in front of the Son of Heaven? Is it so troublesome, do those people have to do it as a last resort?

Accident? "Ahh Thinking of this, Zhu Qiming shuddered, sighed, and after a while, he vaguely caught a glimpse of a figure shaking outside the window.

But after seeing the fluttering clothes and the light sound of the squirrel, an incomparably light figure appeared on the verandah outside the window.

Zhu Qiming was a little timid at first, but just by looking at the person's otherworldly charm, he was immediately relieved.

"Ling Xuan Dao Chief!" He blurted out.

The man was a woman, wearing a Taoist crown and a Taoist robe, about thirty years old, walking slowly along the verandah towards the window where Zhu Qiming was staying.

"A person who practices martial arts, is not good at learning, and has to worry about the Queen Mother, it is really useless! However, the vision is good, and he guessed the identity of the poor road so quickly. ”

Could it be that the Empress Dowager invited a master to protect herself in secret? Well, why bother with someone else? At present, this female crown must be a martial artist! As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but look at the person who came and smiled.

Daoist Ling Xuan stopped outside the window, performed Taoist salutes, looked at Zhu Qiming carefully, and then shook his head again and again, "The golden mask can't cover the ugliness, it frightens others, that's not His Highness." Poor Dao mentioned Diguo and Mingquan in Beibei, which Poor Dao had seen in "Siyi Strange Recipe", and it was best for His Highness to believe in this party. ”

"Where are they born?"

Ling Xudao blinked, and his tone was a little weak: "Listen to his name, of course he was born in the far north!" ”

Hmph, the north, the north is so big, it's hard to make this king wander! Zhu Qiming muttered to himself, but his mouth was courteous, and he bowed: "Thank you for your help!" ”

"With this appearance, don't shout at will in the future, so as not to frighten others!"

Seeing the fluttering clothes again, Zhu Qiming followed the prestige, and there was no one outside the window.
