Sure enough, I didn't wait for a while, and I saw a light woman in a dark blue brocade dress walking towards me, with a white brocade belt tied around her waist, and five-colored gems on her head, gorgeous and valuable, with black hair tied into a ruyi bun, a white hosta, and a thin powder on her face, perhaps because of the wine, and a little reddish. I hurriedly greeted him and asked with a gentle smile: "You are the side Fujin Deng Jia clan?" ”

She saluted me and smiled, "Exactly." ”

I looked at her with a smile and took her hand and walked forward, because I didn't know her, but I didn't know how to speak.

After walking for a while, she asked me first, "I wonder what the little master has to say about asking Wang Shang's father-in-law to find a slave this time?" ”

I sighed, slowed down, and waved my hand at Bai Ge behind me, and when Bai Ge's figure was far away, I said: "Fang Fujin entered the Zaifeng Beizi Mansion at the age of eighteen, and now he is deeply favored by Beizi, and is already the biggest winner in the mansion. ”

Deng Jiashi frowned slightly, looked at me and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

I stared at the flowers and grasses growing vigorously all over the ground, "I heard that Fang Fujin and Lord Deng Shichang's beloved wife are very familiar in private?" ”

Deng Jiashi said: "Yes, sometimes I will make an appointment to drink tea and taste the piano." Mrs. Deng is knowledgeable and courteous, and she gets along with her, and the slaves are pickled. ”

I was silent for a while, although I was still hesitant in my heart, I still chose to say the clear words: "I don't know that Fang Fujin has also heard about the Beiyang Naval Division?" ”

"The minions have heard of it."

"Fang Fujin is familiar with Mrs. Deng in private, so what do you think of Lord Deng from the sidelines?"

"Lord Deng is a loyal general."

When I heard this, I was naturally happy in my heart, and said: "Side Fujin, you are not familiar with this palace, but this matter is about the emperor, but also about the Qing Dynasty. Saying that, I wanted to salute, Deng Jiashi was shocked, obviously he didn't expect me to have such a condescending behavior, and hurriedly stopped me, "What does the little master have to say directly, why do you need to do this?!" She patted the back of my hand, and said: "Speaking of which, the little master and the slave were originally considered concubines, but the providence of God made people, which will lead to the chaos now, although it is not often in the Forbidden City, but it has long been heard outside the palace, among the harem concubines, the emperor loves the little master in every way, and it is ashamed to say that the slave still has reservations about the little master, but after seeing the little master for the first time today, he feels very good, as if he has seen it somewhere, and he has seen the behavior of the little master, and the little master can do this for the emperor, and he treats him wholeheartedly, so no matter what, The little master has something to do, although he is told, if the slave can really do it, he will definitely do it for the little master and the emperor. ”

While looking at Deng Jiashi in front of me, while listening to her, my heart suddenly moved, no matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment she is honest with me and Zaiyan, people who have not experienced it will not know how difficult it is to meet a person who treats me honestly in the Forbidden City, and I was silent for a long time before I whispered: "If you can, I also ask Fang Fujin to contact Mrs. Deng for me." ”

"Why did you contact Mrs. Deng?"

I sighed and said: "Li Zhongtang does not allow anyone to meddle in the affairs of the Beiyang Naval Division, the emperor is really anxious in the face of the increasingly tense internal and external situation, and wants to find out what the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division is, but he is really helpless. ”

Deng Jiashi is also a smart person, a little bit clear, "Also, Li Zhongtang values Lord Deng very much, and naturally understands that Lord Deng is a person, and he will not easily let Lord Deng to the emperor," After a moment of silence, she said again, "What's more, there is Lafayette...... The emperor is in a difficult situation, and he has heard Ama mention it from time to time before, so many things are known to the slaves and Beizi......"

I held Deng Jia's hand and said earnestly: "The heart of the palace and the emperor is tied to the side Fujin." ”

Deng Jiashi thought about it, then raised his eyes to look at me, and said firmly: "In the final analysis, the emperor still wants to summon Lord Deng in private, Mrs. He Lao, only the slave went back to the mansion to explain to Bei Zi, and asked Bei Zi to inform the emperor of Lord Deng's intentions, the emperor just waits, and Lord Deng will come soon." ”

I nodded and said with a smile: "This is very good," I thought about it, and said, "It's easy to see the side Fujin, if it is really out of the water, the geese and the fish, I just smelled the good name of Mrs. Deng from the mouth of the side Fujin, and the palace also wants to see it, which Japanese palace has returned to the emperor and will definitely want the two of them to come to Jingren Palace for a moment." ”

Deng Jiashi smiled, and Fu Yifu said: "If the little master invites him, the slaves will definitely come." ”

When I had to return to the Ziguang Pavilion, most of the meal had passed, and the singing and dancing had stopped, Cixi was no longer in her seat, she should have drunk and returned to Ningshou Palace to rest, most of the harem concubines were stunned, I am afraid that it was also because of the sorghum wine during the banquet, and they were a little unable to stand it, I just felt why bother, if you didn't want to show off in front of these foreign envoys, no one in the Forbidden City would drink this sorghum wine at all, and you don't have to be here at this moment. There was also a drunken look on his face, and I told Bai Ge to bring a bowl of honey water for Fan Changlu to give to Zaiyan, as for John?? Wilson's group of foreign envoys are all propped up on the table, in different postures, either with their hands on their heads drowsy, or stiffly sitting in place motionless, their eyes are empty, and even the whole person directly fell to the ground, not long after, the princes and ministers retreated in turn, carrying the eunuchs to transport those foreign envoys back to their respective residence inns, Fan Changlu glanced at me, holding a cup of honey water in his hand and attached it to Zai Xiang's ear and whispered a few words, Zai Xiang immediately looked at him sideways, took the glass cup, drank two small sips, put it down, and saw that the people were scattered, He got up and walked quietly towards me, "Where did you go?" ”

I glanced sideways at Longyu, she was being helped out by the palace maids and eunuchs of Zhongcui Palace, and several concubines were happy, although Ziyu was not drunk, she was not interested in me talking to Zai Yan, and she also helped Mei Yun to go out with Concubine Yu.

I looked at Zai Yan and asked, "The slave went to change his clothes, why did the emperor ask like this?" ”

Zai Yan let out an "oh" and pretended to be unintentional: "I just saw that John??" Wilson also went out for a while, afraid that he would do something too bad to Jane. ”

I smiled, "The emperor clearly knows John?? Wilson was just a casual remark, and he knew exactly what he couldn't do to his minions. ”

Jae-yun just looked at me.

I whispered, "Your Majesty, the slave just went to see Fang Fujin." ”

"Who?"

"Side Fu Jin Deng Jia's clan."

Zai Yan let out a faint "oh" and breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly unintentional, but in fact he was hiding his weakness, and said, "I don't know that John??" What did Wilson just do......"

I looked at him and couldn't help but smile quietly and said, "Hey, why is it so sour?" ”

Zai Yan then asked, "What acid?" ”

I didn't say anything, just shrugged my shoulders and looked at Zai Yan with a smile.

Zai Xiang suddenly understood, pointed at the tip of my nose, and joked to me, "You actually teased me!" ”

I was busy making grievances, "How dare a minion?" ”

Zai Yan bowed slightly, grabbed my hand, and pulled me closer, "In the future, I won't allow you to talk to other irrelevant men, let alone talk to them......" Before he finished speaking, I hurriedly raised my eyes and stared at him and said, "When did the slave go?!" So saying, he broke free of his hand and turned around and took two steps forward.

There was a moment of silence in the surroundings, I was wondering why Zai Yan hadn't coaxed me yet, and suddenly the whole person was encircled in the arms of a Mixiang, and the voice was in my ears, "Don't play with me...... child's temper" I ignored him, and he said, "Don't be angry with me...... " In fact, I was already out of anger in my heart, but I still didn't want to pay attention to him, and after a while, he asked me, "Didn't Zhen'er really see that Fang Caizhen was jealous?" He was really aggrieved between his words, and he was a little anxious, I immediately laughed when I heard it, and turned around and hugged him, "I have already seen it!" ”
