Jiying's father-in-law looked at Bai Xiaofu's instantly pale face and continued: "This is also your blessing, maybe you are destined to escape this catastrophe, it's up to you, but it's impossible to say whether you will be so lucky in the future." Seeing that you have some eyes at a young age, you may be able to live longer in the future, we might as well remind you that the life of our slave is worthless in the eyes of the master, and it is the key point in our own hands. Let's go down, go back and pack up your things today, and I'll come to Ruihua Palace tomorrow to report, and I'll point you to an errand when the time comes. ”

Bai Xiaofu respectfully withdrew from the door, just turned to a corner that the door could not see, and sat on the ground, Qi Rui ran over and asked him what was wrong, Bai Xiaofu was also stunned and didn't know how to answer, just shook his head, Qi Rui helped him up, but found that one of his calves couldn't be strengthened, and he pulled his trouser leg, and the side of his left calf was swollen with a big purple bag.

Qi Rui hurriedly carried Bai Xiaofu to the room where their group of little chamberlains were sleeping. At this time, there were still two people lying inside, it was Zhao Da and Xue Gui who had gone in before, after all, both of them were still children and were sobbing and moaning slightly, and the two were still spitting out the grievances in each other's stomachs.

"Is there a problem with the tongue of the father-in-law of Jiying, I am obviously making tea well, I dare to guarantee that there must be no problem with the tea I made, I told him that there is no problem with this tea, and he actually let those eunuchs come up and beat me." Zhao Da said indignantly.

Xue Gui hurriedly said: "If you make a small noise, if people listen to it, and tell Na Jiying's father-in-law, we won't have a good time." After speaking, he glanced at Qi Rui and Bai Xiaofu, Bai Xiaofu knew that this was to see that there were no obvious injuries on his body, and he deliberately sneered, he didn't want to deal with him, and now he was very confused in his heart, so he casually pulled Qi Rui, who wanted to come forward to theorize, and lay back on his bed.

Xue Gui saw that they didn't argue, and he also felt that they were just two useless soft persimmons, and he seemed to be a soldier, and he couldn't help but feel that he was also infected by that Jiying's father-in-law.

This was Zhao Da's question, which drew Xue Gui's attention back.

"How did you get beaten, it looks heavier than mine."

Xue Gui felt his face flush, he thought he was the smartest in this group of little chamberlains, but now he didn't look as good as this stunned Zhao Da, he was very unconvinced, and replied: "You also said that this father-in-law Jiying does not act according to common sense, I brought him tea, and he also said that there was a problem with my tea, so I had to kneel down and say that the small sin deserves death, but he said that since you want to die, let you die, fortunately, our father-in-law was here at the time, and the father-in-law in charge asked for me, or I guess I really died." Xue Gui's expression flickered a little hesitantly, and they only thought it was fear.

Bai Xiaofu suddenly figured out the meaning of Jiying's father-in-law's last words, it seems that the master he was serving after him estimated that he was trying his best to let himself die, and he felt that he had escaped the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den. But Bai Xiaofu knew that Xue Gui was probably telling the truth, because the father-in-law of the chief steward was not in that room, and besides, the concubine would inevitably ask questions that might cause suspicion, and the father-in-law of the chief steward would definitely avoid suspicion. Xu Xue Gui agreed, and the father-in-law of Na Jiying couldn't say anything.

The next day, Bai Xiaofu packed up his things and went to Ruihua Palace to report, when he left, Qi Rui was still crying with snot and tears, and Xue Gui was uneven, and his words were prickly. Bai Xiaofu explained two sentences to Qi Rui, and asked him to hand over the silver to the chief manager, and find a good errand, the imperial dining room, the imperial pharmacy, whichever is good, in short, don't be an errand in front of the master.

When he came to Ruihua Palace, Jiying's father-in-law first brought Bai Xiaofu to Concubine De, Bai Xiaofu didn't dare to look at it all the way, and knelt respectfully in front of Concubine De.

"Little Bai Xiaofu to Concubine De Niangniang, please say goodbye."

Concubine De's beautiful voice came from above, noble and indispensable: "Get up." ”

Bai Xiaofu stood up with his head down, and caught a glimpse of Concubine De's slender jade hands that were making people coated with dankou, and he felt as if his neck was firmly clamped by these hands, and his throat was tight.

"Raise your head and show Hongu."

Bai Xiaofu raised his head and saw this solemn and luxurious master, Concubine De is very beautiful, a steady and noble beauty, not like some women who are bewitching or beautiful, with the charm of the precipitation of the years, calm, capable and shrewd, and has an authority that cannot be disobeyed.

When Concubine De saw Bai Xiaofu, she slightly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "What a beautiful child, yesterday Jiying's father-in-law said that I didn't believe that a child of your age had such a steady mind." Now it seems that he believes it. ”

Concubine De waved her hand to make Tu Dankou's palace people retreat, and continued: "Calling you to this Ruihua Palace is to be a messenger for my son, you just need to be obedient, my son is now ten years old, he has moved out of Ruihua Palace and lives in Furui Palace, you are a gift from this palace to my son to leave Ruihua Palace." You only remember what happened to the four princes, and you have to talk back and forth regularly on the 1st and 15th of each month. Remember who is your master. ”

Concubine De gave a look to the Duke of Jiying, and the Duke of Jiying stepped forward to lead Bai Xiaofu out of Ruihua Palace to Furui Palace, Bai Xiaofu knelt in front of Jiang Zhen, and Duke Jiying said fairly: "The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, these days, Niangniangnian The Fourth Prince has just moved out of Ruihua Palace, I'm afraid it's not, Tete picked a small chamberlain to serve His Highness, and also make a companion for His Royal Highness to relieve boredom." Your Highness can see what you like. ”

Jiang Zhen glanced at Bai Xiaofu, who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered, "The queen mother is really scheming, the palace has moved out, and she has to send someone to watch me, what's the matter?" Is this prince a prisoner? ”

Jiying's father-in-law replied: "Your Highness, don't misinterpret Niangniang's meaning, Niangniang just cares about His Highness." ”

Jiang Zhen raised his eyebrows and waved his hand at Jiying's father-in-law, "That's it, I'm here to see how you use this little kid to spy on me." . ”

After Jiying's father-in-law left, the hall was quiet, Jiang Zhen didn't speak, Bai Xiaofu could only kneel on the ground upright, at the beginning, Bai Xiaofu couldn't hear a half-star sound above his head except for the sound of well-proportioned breathing, he thought that Jiang Zhen was looking at him, and couldn't help but get nervous, but then he heard the sound of a book overhead, knowing that Jiang Zhen was going to cool him, and he was no longer nervous, thinking of what he saw and heard today, the prince was normal, When he was very young, he would live separately from his mother in his own palace, and when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he would move out of the palace to live, and this Jiang Zhen did live with his mother for ten years before he had his own palace, and this prince was obviously not very close to his mother, and he was arrogant and rude when he spoke, and his personality was arrogant. Such a prince, if he really has such a temperament, it is estimated that he will become a victim of many princes competing for the throne, but it is unknown whether the truth is still an illusion.

Bai Xiaofu knelt so hard that his knees were numb, and at this time, a book fell down, right on the top of his head, and he only heard the person above say: "Alas, it's really boring." ”

Bai Xiaofu was smashed by that book, and the book fell into his hand, and it turned out to be a golden plum bottle.

The person above his head then shouted: "Bai Xiaofu, right?" ”

Bai Xiaofu hurriedly said: "The slave is here, what does the master command." ”

"You go and pour two cups of tea for Hongu, Hongu is thirsty."

Bai Xiaofu quickly made two cups of tea, and just about to serve it forward, he heard Jiang Zhen, who was disgusted with his slow brewing when he made tea just now, and now he disliked his shoes too dirty, so he wanted to take off his shoes and walk over, so as not to stain the carpet in his palace, Bai Xiaofu had to take off his shoes, carefully cleaned his hands, and served the tea, but when Bai Xiaofu just took a step, his toes actually came from a sharp pain, and when he looked down, he found that there were small pieces of metallic luster in the soft carpet, The whole carpet was scattered sporadically, and Jiang Zhen urged impatiently: "You dog hurry up, you can't kill your master if you want to die of thirst, what a waste, the queen mother is really blind to choose you." ”

Bai Xiaofu had no choice but to walk towards Jiang Zhen slowly, controlling his feet as much as possible to exert light force at the location of the metal sheet to prevent his feet from being punctured.

Walking in front of Jiang Zhen, Bai Xiaofu respectfully offered tea, Jiang Zhen took it and took a sip, Bai Xiaofu imagined that he would be sprayed with tea by this prince who looked like a nervous disorder, but it didn't.

I only heard Jiang Zhen say: "The soak is good, this palace should reward you." ”

After speaking, he picked up another cup of tea, stretched out his hand to pull Bai Xiaofu's collar, and poured the tea that was still a little hot into it, Bai Xiaofu's clothes were instantly soaked, it was winter, the clothes were thick, and the weight of that cup of tea seemed to be just right, all the water was absorbed by the clothes, and not a drop was dripped onto the carpet.

Jiang Zhen smiled and leaned back and said, "What? Don't hurry up and thank the master for the reward. ”

Bai Xiaofu had to kowtow and said, "The slave thanked the master." ”

Later, Jiang Zhen asked Bai Xiaofu to stand outside the hall and keep guarding, the water in Bai Xiaofu's chest and clothes was frozen, and Bai Xiaofu had to lean forward to try to make less contact between his skin and ice. However, he still had a fever the next day, but fortunately, Bai Xiaofu went to the imperial pharmacy first after returning that day, grabbed some fierce medicine, and the fever was able to bear it the next day.

A few days later, Bai Xiaofu deeply realized Jiang Zhen's terribleness.

Jiang Zhen once asked him to look for live centipedes, scorpions, snakes or something in the winter, and Bai Xiaofu could only dig the ground everywhere to find snake holes, digging three feet into the ground and digging insects. In the end, all I found was a small snake and three centipedes. Jiang Zhen scolded Bai Xiaofu for being a useless thing, and at the same time accepted the thing, as soon as Bai Xiaofu lifted the quilt at night, a small snake jumped up, biting Bai Xiaofu's arm, the pain quickly jumped from the arm to the brain, subconsciously Bai Xiaofu wanted to pick up something heavy and smash the snake to death directly, Jiang Zhen's hateful smiling face suddenly flashed in front of him, he didn't have to think about it to know that this was Jiang scum's ghost, and it was not so easy to kill himself. Sheng Sheng endured the pain, wiped the sweat beads on his face because of the pain, and thought that Jiang Zhen might have to say that his snake was lost and he had to find it himself. Bai Xiaofu had to pull the snake off his wrist, and the feeling of tearing his flesh off his body was painful. The snake was torn off one of Bai Xiaofu's arms like a stimulant and wanted to bite Bai Xiaofu's chest again, but Bai Xiaofu pulled his tail away from him, and then Bai Xiaofu couldn't help the pain and curled up on the ground with his arms, and his body twitched involuntarily because of the pain.

The next day, Jiang Zhen really asked him to look for the lost snake, it could only be the snake, if the snake died, Jiang Zhen said coldly: "The snake also knows you, if it dies, you can go down with it to be a companion." ”
