Zhu Houzhao said that although there were hundreds of palace maids he had seen, he never paid attention to it, he only felt that all of them were carved out of a mold, and even the posture of showing off the style was almost the same. And these girls are all trained after a lot of training, seeing Zhu Houzhao such a handsome young man Xiaolangjun in front of him, who doesn't like to look twice? And the eyebrows in the eyes are not enough for outsiders.

After picking among the crowd for a while, Zhu Houzhao suddenly pointed at the most inconspicuous girl in blue in the corner, and said bluntly: "It's her!" ”

Hongzhu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the person Zhu Houzhao was pointing at, and then laughed and said: "Childe, she has only been here for a few months, and she hasn't had time to learn all kinds of skills in blowing, playing and singing, why don't you pick another one?" ”

"Don't pick it, it's her!"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's undoubted look, Hongzhu thought that Li Yifeng, the head of the Fusi Division of Beizhen, actually accompanied the two of them in person, and was willing to stay outside, knowing that he could not be offended, so he had to agree, and immediately looked at Xu Xun. And Xu Xun was busy looking at who Zhu Houzhao had picked, where did he have the heart to look at those girls, and he pointed at one indiscriminately.

At this time, Hongzhu sent the rest of the girls down, but did not let the two of them take people back to the house directly, but first instructed the two little girls with her to take the two girls out first, and immediately chatted with Zhu Houzhao and Xu Xun with a smile. However, Zhu Houzhao was already looking out with great interest, Xu Xun would not be fooled at all, and she was helpless, and finally saw the little girl come back and report that she was ready, so she raised her hand with a smile and said: "Qiu Lin in the first selection is in the west of the Regent Xuan, and the dogwood in the back is in the Linbo Xiaozhu, the two sons just have fun." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Houzhao rushed out of the door with an arrow, Xu Xun was caught off guard, it was not good to catch people at such a juncture, so he had to watch him disappear outside the door with a girl. After standing for a moment, he saw Hongzhu holding his hands and looking at him with interest, so he asked angrily, "Where is Regent Xuan?" ”

"Huh?" Hongzhu had just seen that Xu Xun was absent-minded, and when she heard this now, she couldn't help but be a little mistaken, "Could it be that Gongzi also took a fancy to Qiu Lin?" That's really unruly, she's still a chick, and she's a newcomer, so the slave family doesn't dare to let her take the two of them for the first time......"

"I don't have time to talk to you!" Xu Xun immediately interrupted Hongzhu's words and said word by word, "What I'm asking you now is where is Li Jingxuan!" ”

Hongzhu saw that Xu Xun suddenly put away the original gentle and harmless face of the ordinary son, her face was terrifying, especially the eyes showed a little intimidation, she couldn't help but be a little afraid, and instinctively said: "Li Jingxuan is at the end of the path on the right when you enter the Hanging Flower Gate......

"Take me there!" Seeing that Hongzhu seemed to be stunned, Xu Xun had to shout in an impatient accentuated tone, "Take me over!" ”

It wasn't until Hongzhu hurriedly walked out of the door that Xu Xun, who was following up, finally had time to think about Zhu Houzhao's strange behavior in his heart. Combined with the information revealed in Zhu Houzhao's previous words, the vague thoughts that came out of him before suddenly became a lot clearer - originally, he deliberately put a few eunuchs together this time, and he didn't deal with indecent people, if those people would suffer dumb losses like this, it would not be a big deal that had been up and down in the palace for many years. However, picking such a reason to attack was something he hadn't expected before, and Zhu Houzhao's violent reaction was also unexpected by him.

Therefore, when he arrived outside Na Li Jing Xuan, he saw Hongzhu pointing to the main house with the door closed, and then tiptoed to leave, but he unceremoniously grabbed the person's arm. Without waiting for Hongzhu to cry out in pain, he said coldly: "I don't care who is behind your yard, and I don't care which families you will share the dividends here, if you dare to show a little bit of wind in today's matter, you don't have to think about it!" Now answer my words, what is the origin of that Qiu Lin in it? ”

Hongzhu has been rolling in the red dust for many years, accustomed to seeing all kinds of characters, and knows that sometimes the most difficult characters are not those with a full face, but often those with a smile on their faces and a friendly atmosphere - but she never thought that a young noble son who was less than twenty years old should be just a gentleman, was a little like those big people who are used to saying everything. Although I instinctively want to ridicule each other, when the words come to my lips, they become explanations.

"Childe, Qiu Lin was only resold two months ago, and the surname is the strongest, so the slave family asked that son to pick someone else's ...... before" Before she finished speaking, she saw Xu Xun's face change greatly, let go of the hand that grabbed her wrist and turned around to go straight to the door of the house over there, she hurriedly dragged Xu Xun and explained busily, "The slave family has already told her, if there is a bad pool, don't ask for it, and it will definitely not let her hurt the distinguished guest!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Xun finally stopped. Although he knew that it was very inappropriate for Zhu Houzhao to come out today, the surname of the little emperor has always been said to be wind and rain, and it cannot be stopped by force. Therefore, he looked back at Hongzhu, whose face was full of fear, and asked in a deep voice: "Before Qiu Lin was resold, did you say where she came from, and who else was in the family?" ”

"This slave family really doesn't know......" Hongzhu saw that Xu Xun's face was not good, so she had to accompany her and said carefully, "The girls who have fallen into this line of work will inevitably have their own bitterness. Either the poor parents in the family were sold, or they were abducted, or the family was in the middle of the road, of course, there are also so-called official eunuchs......" Speaking of this, she hurriedly explained, "Of course, that kind is very rare, the first emperor has always been lenient when he was alive, and the emperor has only ascended the throne, and there has been no family for a long time in recent years." ”

Xu Xun groaned in his heart, and asked Hongzhu several questions, seeing that she really couldn't answer, he knew that no matter how much persecution he had, it would be in vain, so he could only wait there patiently, but Hongzhu was not allowed to leave. The two of them waited in the shade for half an hour, only to hear a sudden exclamation from inside, followed by a clanging sound. At this time, it was too late to say that it was too fast, and the startled Hongzhu was still standing there without any reaction, Xu Xun had already rushed over with an arrow and kicked straight towards the closed door. I don't know if he really exercised on the battlefield this time, or the door of this room is too sturdy, the door opened in response, and the first thing he saw was that the blue-clothed girl Qiu Lin was wearing a vase and smashing it at Zhu Houzhao.

Sure enough, something happened!

Lamenting and lamenting, Xu Xun had to shout: "Little Marquis, come behind my back!" ”

Without saying this, the embarrassed Zhu Houzhao flashed straight behind Xu Xun, and it can be seen that the vase flew overhead, and he still instinctively covered his head. However, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, as if something had fallen over his head, and then he heard only a muffled snort and a coquettish scolding, and the room seemed to be quiet. He hurriedly ripped off the things on his head, and found that it was an outer robe, and when he saw that Xu Xun was twisting that Qiu Lin's arm, he hurriedly shouted; "Xu Xun, stop, stop, don't hurt her!"

Hongzhu, who rushed into the house in a panic, only heard Xu Xun's little marquis, and immediately secretly complained in her heart, until Zhu Houzhao repeatedly ordered not to hurt people, she gave birth to a little luck. Staring at Qiu Lin with clenched teeth in annoyance, she just walked up to Zhu Houzhao, and knelt down directly with a pull of her skirt: "Little Hou Ye, it was the slave family who didn't train a good person, which shocked the little Hou Ye, the slave family is willing to compensate you with a thousand taels of silver, and the other girls in the yard are also up to you to choose......"

"It's none of your business here, get out!" Zhu Houzhao yelled angrily, seeing that Hongzhu didn't react, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and said, "Don't get out of here yet!" ”

It wasn't until Hongzhu withdrew from the door with a confused face that Zhu Houzhao stepped forward to pull Xu Xun, and finally let people let go of Qiu Lin, he even dragged the person to the corner, glanced at Xu Xun with an unkind face, and then snorted softly: "I don't ask why you came so timely...... Didn't I just want to come out and talk to a woman! When the time comes, let Liu Jin and them find a place to settle people, let people know that she is my woman, and save me from gossiping about you inside and outside the palace, who knew that such an unlucky thing would happen! I told her that she was a noble family before, but then she said that her surname was Zhu, and she immediately went crazy, saying that her family had fallen to this point because her father had offended a Zhu son, and as a result, the family had harmed her father......"

Hearing this, Xu Xun couldn't help but turn his head, and saw that Qiu Lin, who had been removed from his shoulder joint, was staring at him angrily, he sighed secretly, and after thinking about it, he still didn't rush up to help someone connect the joint, but turned back to look at Zhu Houzhao and said: "The emperor should have said that it was someone else's gossip, and the minister has a way to deal with it, so how can it not be like this...... Your Majesty, it's not that the minister said you, you are still in the mourning period of the first emperor, and you have to worry about the consequences of this matter getting out today......"

Zhu Houzhao muttered angrily: "Father doesn't care about these false texts...... Otherwise, my father would not have let me wait three years before I died......" The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and in the end he had to cough dryly, "Okay, I listen to you...... I also said so many things to her, she would even think that I was the kind of unproductive gentleman, I really have no vision...... And I don't know which Zhu family, what kind of tutor style is this, sure enough, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and my father is a bastard! ”

Xu Xun didn't pay attention to Zhu Houzhao's last angry words, he was more concerned that although the little emperor had some pity for Qiu Lin, he didn't have any feelings. So, when Li Yi was the first to break open the curtain and come in in a hurry, he ordered without waiting for anyone to speak: "Li Qianhu, the little marquis has ordered, the case of Qiu Lin's family will be handed over to Jinyiwei to investigate, and there must be an explanation!" You might as well bring Jin Yiwei back to be a witness first, don't frighten her. ”

Zhu Hou looked at the stunned Qiu Lin, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I picked her because I thought she was stubborn, and I wanted to be different from those women who scratched their heads and posed, but this vision was too bad, why did I see me as such a worthless person?
