The first time he did this kind of thing, Du Zijun's heart pounded nervously. He patted his chest, afraid that the third concubine's room would suddenly come back, so he hurriedly rummaged through the room.

The room in the third concubine's room was filled with a strong fragrance, which made Du Zijun a little breathless.

The room is dressed in red and soft, the three concubines are born as courtesans, and there is a pipa hanging on the wall, but there are no books. Du Zijun first rummaged through the table, but if he didn't find it, he started looking for a cabinet again.

The cabinet is full of all kinds of silk and satin, as well as all kinds of costumes, it seems that the three concubines have a soft spot for opera.

Du Zijun sweated down his forehead, seeing that there was nothing in the cabinet, and was about to find another place, but he heard footsteps outside, and he was frightened and hurriedly got under the bed.

Ping'er pushed open the door and lit the lamp on the bronze crane stand, and the room suddenly brightened. She looked around and felt that there was something strange about the room, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Just when she was puzzled, the third concubine called out to her, "Ping'er, pour me a cup of tea." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Ping'er came to the table and poured a cup of hot tea for the third concubine's room, "Madam, your voice is tired of singing today, tomorrow I will go and bring you some fat sea back to moisten your throat." ”

"It's still you the most intimate, I want to find a good person for you as soon as possible." The third concubine said with a smile.

Ping'er's face was slightly red, and she said shyly: "Madam, Ping'er still wants to accompany you for two more years." ”

"Women should marry themselves when the prime is right, you see the eldest lady, isn't it the cardamom year to marry the adult?" The third concubine took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, "Gai Ming'er, I asked Lord Bai to help find it." ”

Du Zijun under the bed heard the three words of Lord Bai, and he was thinking about which Lord Bai, he only knew Bai Shao'an, Lord Bai. But what does Li Qinglian's concubine have to do with Bai Shaoan? What surprised him even more was what Ping'er said next.

"Lord Bai hasn't been here for a few days! I heard that her daughter has been sick recently, does Mrs. want to take care of her? Ping'er asked with concern.

Is my daughter sick? Although Bai Bingbin is not sick, suicide did hurt his body, and Du Zijun felt that he could be completely right.

The third concubine raised her eyebrows lightly, "No need, if his wife finds out, it will cut off our livelihood." Have you forgotten the rumors that there was a maid who seduced Lord Bai back then, and she forced her to death? ”

Ping'er sighed, which woman in this world doesn't want to worry about food and clothing through men, and that maid is also unlucky, and she ran into such a person. She secretly reminded herself that she must not follow the path of that maid.

"Madam, it's not early, I'll go fetch water for you." Ping'er went to the basin stand, took the basin off, and went out to fetch water.

There was only one person left in the room of the three concubines, and Du Zijun could only see her drinking tea with an expressionless face, not knowing what she was thinking.

Until the early morning of the next day, neither the third concubine nor Ping'er left the room for half a step, and Du Zijun couldn't find a chance to slip away, and he didn't even dare to turn over.

Ping'er got up from the side room and went outside to get water for washing before waking up the third concubine's room. Ping'er dressed the third concubine's room and sorted out her temples.

The third concubine looked at herself in the bronze mirror, pointed to the corner of her eyes, and said to Ping'er: "Ping'er, do you think I have wrinkles?" ”

Ping'er stopped what she was doing, bent down to look at the corner of her eyes in the third concubine's room, and said with a smile: "Madam, you are too nervous. The skin is as delicate as a protein, where the wrinkles come from, why didn't I see it. ”

"Just you can talk!" The third concubine let out a silver bell-like laugh, "Hurry up and get it, it's not good to wait until it's late." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Ping'er responded and inserted the last golden butterfly hairpin into the towering bun of the three concubines.

After dressing up the third concubine's room, Ping'er pushed open the door, and didn't see Du Zijun sweeping the floor in the yard, so she complained to the third concubine's room, "Madam, look, that person is starting to be lazy today." ”

The third concubine was puzzled, but she really didn't see Du Zijun, and smiled to defend him, "Young children, it's normal to snooze." ”

"Madam, I think that man just thinks that you have a good heart, and deliberately dedicates himself to you. Why are you so good to him, but a lowly subordinate. Ping'er complained dissatisfied.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The third concubine put away the smile on her face, "Who is more noble than other in this world?" Even if it is the emperor, it is raised by his father's mother. ”

Du Zijun listened to it under the bed and only felt a burst of emotion in his heart, although the third concubine was a courtesan, sometimes his words had the same meaning as Bai Shuqin.

The footsteps of the third concubine's room finally went away, and Du Zijun came out from under the bed with a sour body, almost not standing up, this night made him a big sin.

He was afraid that he would wait for the three concubines to turn around, and he couldn't care about the discomfort of his body, so he quickly and quietly pushed open the door and went out.

Fortunately, there was no one in the courtyard, otherwise when I saw him, it would have been rumored that he had something to do with the third concubine. He saw that the yard was not dirty, and he didn't bother to sweep it, so he first went to the housekeeper to show his face, and then immediately ran to Baohetang.

As soon as he entered the gate of Baohetang, he hurriedly asked Xu Fei: "Is the third imperial concubine here today?" ”

"This question, after today, I can answer you." Xu Fei counted yesterday's flowing water and returned to Du Zijun.

Although Du Zijun understood Xu Fei's personality, he still couldn't help but get angry, "I'm asking you if she's not there now?" Today, what is the use of you telling me! ”

"Then you should make the problem clearer." Xu Fei is a serious way.

"Forget it, I'll see for myself!" Du Zijun didn't plan to entangle with him anymore, otherwise he would definitely vomit blood angrily, and just after taking two steps, he turned back again, "Your beard, it's time to shave!" Otherwise, people still think that our Baohetang is a beggar's hall! ”

Xu Fei stroked his long beard, which had not been tidied since he fell off the list. After Du Zijun said this, it seems that it is time to scratch.

"Brother Zijun, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Beizhu came out of the backyard with a box of medicine, and today Imperial Doctor Li sat in for a consultation, and she helped to help.

Du Zijun hurriedly stopped, and almost bumped into Beizhu, "The third princess is not there?" ”

"No, the third princess only came back yesterday, and she will probably come later today." North Nagisa Road.

After listening to Beizhu's answer, Du Zijun's eyes immediately turned to Xu Fei, "Look at how normal people answer!" You are so pedantic, and you are a foolish official when you are an official! ”

"What you need to do is rigor, you know." Xu Fei picked up the abacus and didn't take Du Zijun's words at ease.

Du Zijun was in a hurry to report last night's incident to Bai Shuqin, and he didn't have time to quarrel with Xu Fei. He turned around and ran out of the Baohe Hall, untied the red rabbit tied at the door, and rushed to the Three Princes' Mansion.

Beizhu followed to the door and looked at Du Zijun's back, they hadn't spoken a few words these days, and she suddenly missed the days when she lived next door to him.

Spring is sleepy and summer is lacking, this cool spring morning is a good time to sleep, Bai Shuqin slept until he woke up naturally.

According to her philosophy, there is no progress in things now anyway, even if it starts earlier than a chicken like Zhuo Jinxuan every day, it will not be of much use, it is better to take advantage of this time to rest.

At three o'clock in the morning, Bai Shuqin got up from the bed lazily, and before he could wash, Du Zijun broke in. Before he stopped, he roared urgently: "Third Imperial Princess, do you know what I found? ”

"Found out that the hen will crow and the rooster will lay eggs?" Bai Shuqin calmly immersed the towel in the water.

"That's a fantasy!" Du Zijun continued, noticing that she was washing, so he waited aside, "I'm afraid you're too excited, I'll tell you when you're done." ”

Bai Shuqin rolled his eyes silently and washed his face slowly. After washing, I combed my hair strand by strand, and the hair that didn't grow long was just combed and used for a while.

"Third Imperial Princess, you're too slow to comb your hair. Sister Qing, why isn't she here? Du Zijun complained about Bai Shuqin, and began to miss the speed at which Qingluan combed Bai Shuqin's hair.

"What, do you miss her?" Bai Shuqin asked deliberately.

Du Zijun snorted disdainfully, "How is it possible, I don't think anyone will miss her!" ”

Bai Shuqin thought of Murphy's Law, but he just saw that Du Zijun was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, so he didn't say any more. She casually tied her hair with a red rope and turned to face Du Zijun, "Now you can say it." ”

Du Zijun bent down mysteriously and whispered to Bai Shuqin: "I found out that Li Qinglian's third concubine room has something ulterior with Bai Shao'an. ”

"What?" Bai Shuqin frowned, although she had already guessed that the identities of Li Qinglian's two concubines were not simple, but it was still unexpected for her to have something to do with Bai Shao'an.

"I heard from the maid in the third concubine's room that Lord Bai hasn't come to see the third concubine's room for a long time. What else do you say, if Mrs. Bai finds out, it will cut off their livelihood. Du Zijun told Bai Shuqin everything he heard, and at the end he added, "I think that these three concubines are the concubines that Bai Shao'an raised in Li Qinglian's family." ”

Bai Shuqin showed a playful expression, and in order to confirm the authenticity of the information, she still asked: "There are so many Bai adults in this capital, how can you be sure that it is Bai Shao'an?" ”

"I only know Bai Shaoan, a white adult." Du Zijun smiled awkwardly, suddenly remembered Ping'er's words again, and hurriedly said to Bai Shuqin, "They also said that Lord Bai's daughter was sick, and there was also the matter of the maid seducing Lord Bai!" ”

After saying it, Du Zijun was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly slapped his mouth, "Look at my mouth that can't speak, it really deserves to be beaten!" ”

"That's it!" Bai Shuqin stopped.

Du Zijun still beat again, and then said again, "This Lord Bai must be Bai Shao'an, but I don't understand, how Li Qinglian is willing to raise a concubine for others, this is too unlike a man." ”

Bai Shuqin moved the corners of his mouth disdainfully, in front of interests, some people can do anything. She wondered how Bai Shao'an suddenly changed sex after Helan, it turned out that he raised a woman outside, which was really a man's nature.

Putting a woman on the subordinate mansion is a good way to hide people's eyes, no wonder Madame Bai has not found anything abnormal for so many years.

"What else did you find?" Bai Shuqin asked.

Du Zijun grinned embarrassedly, "I found this, but I hit it by mistake." However, I turned over the rooms of the three concubines, and there was nothing. ”

It wasn't strange to say anything, Bai Shuqin just felt that something was wrong. Her fingers tapped on the dresser, her mind racing.

Finally, Bai Shuqin understood what was wrong. Since Bai Shaoan kept the woman in Li Qinglian's mansion, it is very likely that the things he accepted bribes were also elsewhere.

For so many days, the informant she sent out found nothing in Baifu, which must have something to do with it.

"Now go to the Bohol Hall, you go and gather all the team leaders, including the people of the Qinglou!" Bai Shuqin instructed Du Zijun that he hurried to Baohetang before breakfast.

There were twenty team leaders, each of whom was responsible for lurking in the vicinity of an official involved in the imperial examination. Du Zijun, the Qinglou in the entire capital, was also bought, with a total of thirteen.

A group of people rushed to Baohetang from all directions one after another, but fortunately, Baohetang is usually mixed, and it will not attract attention if there are more people for a while.

Everyone came over together, Bai Shuqin's room couldn't stand so many people, so he could only take them to the back of the courtyard.

Du Zijun closed the back door tightly, and found two more medicine boys to guard the back door, before he went over to Bai Shuqin with confidence and waited for her to give orders.
