Chapter 45: Say Lord Rui
"This ......"
Chunhua couldn't say anything to refute.
Qiu Shi straightened up and said, "The girl is right! Actually, we don't know what happened back then. The slave and maid remembered that one summer day, someone called us all to the front yard to listen to the order. After the decree was read, the officials began to take people. At that time, we were all young, and we may not remember anything else, but this one thing I remember clearly. The holy decree says that our Zhongfu is plotting to rebel, and then we will ......"
Qiu Shi: "Later, we followed the girl to the Huancai Pavilion. On the first day of coming, Mama Huang told us viciously that we were not allowed to mention the matter of Zhongfu in the future, otherwise it would lead to death. Even we ourselves cannot speak, lest others listen to us, and we will also invite death. At that time, we were still young, and we experienced such a change, and we listened to what Mama Huang said. ”
Chunhua nodded and said, "Hmm! That's pretty much it. So, when the girl asked us, we didn't know anything, not because we were trying to hide it from her. Therefore, the girl should not ask about this kind of thing in the future. This kind of thing, not to mention that we can't say it, is that others don't dare to say what they know. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "I know! I'm just going to ask you and see what you know. Since you don't know, I won't ask anymore. Arise, all of you. ”
"Yes!"
Chunhua and Qiushi both stood up.
"Sit down! Let's talk about something else. ”
"Yes!"
Chunhua and Qiushi sat down again.
However, Chunhua and Qiushi both lowered their heads, and neither of them spoke again, and there was still sadness and fear on their faces.
Zhong Yuqi smiled again and said, "It's better for you to talk about Lord Rui!" When I was young, Lord Rui should have played with us, right? ”
Qiu Shi laughed again and said, "Lord Rui has not only played with us! Lord Rui also often goes to Zhong ...... Come and play in our house! However, Lord Rui came secretly every time, only taking Ma Liu alone. If it weren't for the fact that he knew Lord Rui because he was watching the gate, I was afraid that he wouldn't be allowed to come in! ”
Zhong Yuqi was a little puzzled and said, "What is this statement? If you don't know that he is Lord Rui, you can't let him in? Although it is a high-gate mansion, you can't turn away guests when you come, right? At the very least, we have to report it, right? ”
Qiu Shi immediately leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, laughing so much that he couldn't speak.
Chunhua said with a smile: "That's because every time Lord Rui comes, he wears the clothes of a flat-headed person. How could ordinary people come directly to the door of our house to ask for a meeting? If you want to go, you will also go to the Yamen of the Imperial History Mansion! Isn't it going to be kicked out when you come to the gate of our house like this? ”
Zhong Yuqi was even more puzzled, and said: "I want him to be a dignified prince, why do you want to come to our house dressed as a flat-headed commoner?" Even those honor guards who don't want him are at least dressed decently, right? ”
Qiu Shi said: "I heard from other grandmothers that it was because our lord didn't like Lord Rui, so he refused to let Lord Rui enter the mansion every time. Oh! At that time, Prince Rui was still the seventeenth prince! ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "We are old ...... Grandpa is an official, how can he refuse the prince to enter the palace? ”
