Min Sishan approached, saw Mu Lan and Lianxin still guarding the imperial dining room, and asked, "You two, if you don't go back to rest, what are you still doing here?" ”

Mu Lan hurriedly pulled the lotus core to stand up, and Ying Ying smiled and said: "Aunt Min, I heard that the Queen Mother is going to set up a chrysanthemum banquet on the Double Ninth Festival, and we are pondering together, can these red beans also make some new tricks?" ”

Min Sishan's gaze swept over the row of ugly red bean rolls on the case, frowned and said impatiently to Mu Lan, who was the leader: "I have been looking for you for an afternoon, and I don't see your shadow." I don't know how to use more effort during the day, but can I do it well by lighting the lamp and boiling oil at night? Why don't you go back and rest quickly, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow! ”

Mu Lan and Lianxin hurriedly bowed their heads and said yes, both gave a salute, and left.

On the way back to the palace maid's office, Lianxin couldn't help but ask about today's events. Mu Lan only said that she accidentally fell, and she was unwilling to tell the truth to anyone before everything came to light.

Lianxin's mind was not so heavy, she didn't think much about Mu Lan's excuses, the two of them worked hard for a day, returned to the palace maids' office, and in the sound of the palace maids, they finished washing their hands and feet, and they both rested heavily.

Let go of the layers of worries, as long as you can sleep well, the days will be turned over, and it will be a new day.

Outside the Shenwu Gate, two high-headed horses strutted with their heads held high, and after the crisp horses' hooves were kicked, they followed several folk dressed in civilian clothes.

The two horses, one black and one white, with handsome bones and shiny fur, knew at a glance that they must be good horses.

On the black horse at the head, it was the four Beile Yinzhen who sat on it, and the thirteen Beizi Yinxiang who accompanied him from the side.

The two men reined in their hands, looked into the distance, and went southward with a solemn expression.

A young man's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Lord Belle, please stay." ”

With a strategy in Yinzhen's hand, the black horse paused a few times, and the team slowly stopped.

Looking up, it turned out to be a young guard, bowing down to Yinzhen, holding a black umbrella in his hand.

Yin Zhen glanced at Changsui, who took a step forward, took the umbrella and stepped aside.

The young guard kept his head down, and the horse's hooves did not move before they met, and he quickly knelt down and said loudly: "The slave didn't want to disturb the ceremonial driver, please punish Lord Belle!" ”

Yinxiang on the side saw that Yinzhen's eyes were gloomy, looked down at the guards on the ground without saying a word, turned the horse's head slightly, and asked loudly, "What's your name?" Is it an errand here?"

The young guard raised his head and solemnly reported: "The slave Wu Sanchang is a first-class guard in the guard department, and he is on duty here today. ”

Yinzhen glanced at Yinxiang, and said in a deep voice to the guard Wu Sanchang: "Good name...... Who told you that this umbrella is mine? ”

The guard Wu San changed solemnly and said, "Go back to Lord Belle." The minion changed his guard last night, and when he saw this umbrella standing in the corner, he quietly put it away. When he saw that no one cared during the day, he took it up and examined it. The servant saw that the umbrella bone was not good, and there were words engraved on the handle, thinking that it was Belle when you passed by the court, and unintentionally left it. The minion thought that he would return the house to you, but I didn't expect you to ride by, and the minion just happened to return to Zhao and return the umbrella to you. ”

The corners of Yinzhen's mouth hooked slightly, a crisp whip on his backhand, a man and a horse leaped forward, and the white horse passed through the gap, turning into a light smoke and running proudly.

Only in the empty air behind him, leaving an unquestionable "reward!" ”

Yinxiang took out a golden melon seed from his unhurried coat, threw it at the young guard who was kneeling in front of him, and clamped the horse's ribs with his knees.

The guard Wu Sanbian held the golden melon seed in his hand, and watched the group of people and horses go away from afar, before he slowly stood up, stretched out his hand and wiped a layer of dense sweat on his forehead.

The guard on the same duty, Harqi, saw it, walked over and patted Wu Sanbian's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sanchang, where did you get the golden melon seeds?" Why don't you invite me to drink! ”

Wu San came back to his senses, said a few words of laughter with Harqi, and went back to the room together at night.

Where is the queen mother's chrysanthemum banquet so easy to place.

Liu Jinzhong, the deputy chief eunuch, specially convened several supervisors and directors of the Imperial Dining Room and the Shangshi Bureau, and carefully planned for a day, and carefully arranged the matter, only then did he feel a little relieved.

Because I was worried about how to report to Queen Yiren last night, I tossed and turned for a night, and I didn't close my eyes for a while until dawn.

I simply got up early in the morning, and I didn't care about eating a few bites of breakfast, so I hurried all the way to Kunning Palace.

Halfway to the long corridor, suddenly heard the rockery under the pavilion outside the zhang, there is the sound of Suosuo's skirt, listen carefully, there is a faint sound of music in the room.

The harem is deep, the night is long, and it is not uncommon for eunuchs and palace maids to marry each other.

However, even if they eat in pairs, they still have to follow the rules in this palace.

Under normal circumstances, it is usually necessary to marry the master of the harem concubine, and reward the palace maids designated by himself or the other party to the eunuchs who are in power or want to form an alliance, so as to consolidate their power and make them use for themselves for a long time.

This kind of marriage is different from ordinary people. The eunuchs and palace maids who are married to each other do things for their masters during the day.

At night, they all returned to the eunuch's residence where the man was and lived like husband and wife under the same roof.

It's not that they don't have private teaching, but they only dare to do it quietly, and no one has ever been so bold.

Bangzi's voice came from the depths of the red wall at the end of his eyes, and he knew that it was already three o'clock, although it was early in the morning, but the sky was already bright.

Liu Jinzhong's eyes were like a sharp arrow ready to be attacked, staring closely at the rockery, and the anger in his heart did not come to a place.

In the land under his jurisdiction, if there is a moth, then he will not be able to sit in the position of deputy governor.

Ming'er, he asked people to demolish this rockery, to see who would dare to risk the world's disapproval and dare to mess with the harem like this.

Thinking of this, Liu Jinzhong gritted his teeth and walked to the side of the rockery, but saw a faint candlelight flickering in the cave, and it was immediately blown out by the people inside.

Hum! Be a thief with a weak heart! Since you have been caught by Lao Tzu, see that I don't pull you out, drag you back and kill you with a stick.

Liu Jinzhong put the dust in his hand on his arm, and shouted loudly towards the black crow in the rockery: "Who is messing around, don't hurry up and get out of here!" ”

When this sentence fell, it seemed to be a faint glimmer of light, swallowed into the abdomen like sucking bones and sucking marrow by the pitch black in the mountain rock, and there was no echo for a long time.

Liu Jinzhong's forehead was bulging, and he laughed and said, "Hehe! If I don't come out again, I'm going to have someone set fire to the mountain! ”

This threat obviously had an effect.

After a while, a candlelight like a firefly was lit again.

The person holding the candle also walked out step by step from far and far from a rockery.

Liu Jinzhong was about to have a seizure, but when he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, his face seemed to be as pale as a corpse, and he knelt down with a trembling plop, and kowtowed again and again: "The slave doesn't know...... I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming...... Please don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... Don't be surprised...... Please also ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please...... Duty...... Punishment ......"

The crown prince Yinren was full of displeasure, couldn't help but hold back, looked at Liu Jinzhong's top wear coldly, and said with a murderous face: "Who should I be arguing here?" It turned out to be Gonggong Liu! ”

"What? Lone just saw a bird flying into the rockery, so he followed up to take a look. Is it my father-in-law, do you think it's inappropriate? I still think that this rockery is obstructing your eyes, and I keep saying that I want to burn this mountain! ”

After that, he blew out the red candle in his hand, looked back at the dark place in the depths of the rockery, and coughed lightly twice.

Liu Jinzhong grabbed the ground with his head, how dare he make another time, and said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry! The minion didn't mean it...... The minions didn't know that the prince was here....... Birdwatching here...... Minions deserve to die...... Minions damn ......"

He muttered repeatedly in his mouth, and knocked down his forehead again and again, like a stone mortar pounding garlic.

After a while, blood gushed out from the cracked wound, dripping onto the bluestone slab in front of him, turning into a small dark crimson.

His Royal Highness the Prince's feet are still standing in front of him, unmoved.

Liu Jinzhong only felt that his eyes were full of gold stars and his forehead was in sharp pain, but he didn't dare to stop even for a moment.

Just in front of a small stream of hot water wet eyes, he saw from the afterglow that a pair of beautiful feet came out of the rockery silently and ran away.

Perhaps because she was too afraid, the woman ran too fast, and the jade pendant on her waist accidentally landed at the prince's feet.

Yinren silently picked it up, put it in his arms, and said softly: "Today's things, God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know." In the future, if anyone dares to hearsay, he will die without a place to be buried! ”

Liu Jinzhong didn't dare to raise his head, closed his bloody eyes, and said again and again: "The slave knows...... The minion did ...... just now I saw a bird flying by...... Besides...... Didn't see anything...... Didn't see anything......"

When the pair of big feet in front of him walked away, Liu Jinzhong kowtowed a few more times, opened a pair of drowsy eyelids slightly, and made sure that there was no one else, so he dared to stand up straight, spat a mouthful of blood mixed with soil to the side, sighed, and complained about why he was so unlucky today!

The moment the jade pendant fell in front of him just now, he saw that the carved pattern on it was a happy branch.

Joy on the branches...... Joy on the branches......

Liu Jinzhong remembered that Emperor Kangxi had worn this jade pendant before, but later gave it to ......

Could it be her?!

This flashing thought was like an earth-shattering secret, which made Liu Jinzhong, who was already as calm as ever, suddenly collapse to the ground like a puddle of mud because of great fear.
