Chapter 11: A Gentle Boy

When she chased the man and was about to leave the Scarlet Palace, a eunuch came to meet her, saw her, and hurriedly said, "Miss Zhuo, you wait, the emperor wants to see you!" ”

"See me? Now? "The experience of facing the saint last time left a psychological shadow on her, and when she heard the emperor's summons, she panicked.

The eunuch said: "Yes, you stand here and don't move, let's go inside and spread the word." After speaking, he hurriedly entered the Scarlet Palace.

Zhuo Ruoning agreed, turned around and pulled the man's sleeve.

"Second brother, the emperor summoned me, can you wait for me?"

The man pulled out his sleeve, clearly disliking her touch. Seeing him like this, Zhuo Ruoning hurriedly said, "If you're busy, forget it, let me ask you something, have you ever seen this when you traveled outside?" ”

As she spoke, she took out a folded square piece of paper from her purse and unfolded it to him.

The man swept the drawings with cold eyes, suddenly paused, and stopped.

"What is this?"

Oh, interested!

Zhuo Ruoning stared at his delicate eyebrows like ink paintings, and explained: "This is a hyperspace jumping device, and I gave it a domineering name called the Qiankun Reincarnation Instrument. ”

The man looked down at the drawing, the silhouette of the side face was delicate, and the sunlight gilded it with a soft light, which was suffocatingly beautiful.

"What for?"

"It's just a space jump, traveling through time and space, whooshing!"

The man glanced at her suspiciously, his gaze removed from the drawing, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his expression of indifference and detachment returned.

"I haven't seen it."

"Did you hear any rumors? This instrument is the size of a ten-story building, and it is impossible to fall anywhere without movement. ”

"I haven't heard of it." He has lost interest.

"Why, you take a closer look." Zhuo Ruoning held the drawings in front of him.

The man's face was obviously written "You tease me", he stretched out two white and slender fingers, took the drawing from her hand, folded it and put it in his sleeve, and said casually: "I will help you inquire." ”

Then he pointed to the hairpin on her head: "Where did you get this?" ”

"This?" Zhuo Ruoning raised her hand and touched the hairpin, "This is given by the county lord of Jiangdu, she said to line my complexion, do you like it?" But this is someone else's gift, so I can't pass it on to you again. ”

The man gritted his back molars, and said in a light tone: "It's good, since it was sent by the county lord, don't lose it." ”

Until he left, Zhuo Ruoning's heart was still pounding.

The cousin is too indifferent, and he is completely incompatible with the enthusiastic and loved courtesan described by the second emperor and grandson.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was laughter behind him, Zhuo Ruoning turned around and saw three teenagers walking out of the Scarlet Palace side by side.

If she hadn't just been hit by Meiyan, and her stamina hadn't passed, she would definitely applaud the picture in front of her.

These three people are too eye-catching to walk together, each has its own good looks, and his eyes are full of youthful beauty.

Liu Xiao looked extremely happy today, and his eyes were happy. On his left is the tall and heroic Geng Kan, and on his right is a tall and thin black boy with a radiant spirit.

Geng Kan: "Look, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." ”

Liu Xiao saw Zhuo Ruoning under the steps and greeted warmly: "Fifth girl, look who will pick you up!" ”

Zhuo Ruoning thought that he was talking about Geng Kan, and couldn't help but purse her lips and rolled her eyes at Geng Kan.

The thin black boy walked up to her and reached out to probe her forehead.

"Why is your face so red?"

Zhuo Ruoning's eyes widened, puzzled by his behavior.

Seeing her reaction, the thin black boy flicked his finger on her forehead.

"Don't recognize the second brother?"

Zhuo Ruoning: "?! ”

Geng Kan walked over and teased: "You are as black as a mountain monkey now, it's strange that she recognizes you." ”

Liu Xiao heard the "poof" sound, and also joked with him: "You see that everyone is stupid." ”

The thin black boy shook his head helplessly, "Let's go, go and report to the emperor first." Then pack up your things, the second brother takes you home, you were frightened during this time, right? ”

Zhuo Ruoning stood still, and pointed outside blankly: "You are my second brother, the ...... who just left"

Liu Xiao: "You mean Xu Jinchen?" He came to deliver something to my sister. ”

Zhuo Ruoning made a "pop" in his head: Oh no!

"That Xu Jinchen, he took my drawings." As he spoke, he was going to chase after him.

Zhuo Xiao grabbed her: "What drawings?" ”

"The drawings of the appearance of the instrument, I drew it to show you." She didn't dare to say much about the specifics, after all, there were outsiders.

Liu Xiao said: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to help you come back in a while." ”

In their opinion, no one takes anything important about what the little girl draws.

"But ......"

"You still can't believe what the second emperor said?" The three of them urged her to leave quickly, and the emperor could not delay summoning her.

Geng Kan continued the topic just now as he walked: "I still don't understand, what's wrong with the jade pendant?" ”

Liu Xiao explained: "The jade used for rewards in the Chunhe Palace is generally made from. In the palace silver bureau, a small number of gifts come from the officials below, or the celebrant collects them in the people. No matter which one it is, there is a detailed source, which people have passed through, the name of the craftsman and the meaning of the pattern must be recorded, and problematic things must not enter the palace. ”

Zhuo Xiao: "How did that boy get mixed in when he heard Zen Lotus Pei?" ”

Liu Xiao: "It was a gift from Yu Yizhong, the political envoy of Shandong. ”

Geng Kan paused and said in surprise: "Lian Guogong's younger brother? ”

Liu Xiao nodded and said, "Xu Jinchen personally went to Shandong to arrest Yu Yizhong. Now not only the Chunhe Palace, but the entire palace is checking the objects, and all things from the people, whether they are paid tribute or collected by the celebrants, are all thoroughly investigated. ”

Geng Kan asked: "A small jade pendant, is it worth the emperor's big fight?" ”

Liu Xiao: "I'm also looking for an opportunity to ask the fifth girl." ”
