"Where did Zitong go, why did he come back now?" Huang Furui asked suspiciously.

"The concubine went to Meilin to enjoy the flowers, and accidentally fell asleep, and Emperor Lao waited for a long time." Lan Xiaoyou made a very embarrassed look.

Huang Furui took Lan Xiaoyou's hand, his face was full of tenderness: "I'm waiting for nothing, but the weather hasn't warmed up yet, it's so cold outside, how can you fall asleep?" What should I do if I get frostbite? Seeing that your hands are cold, hurry up and change into thicker clothes. ”

He scolded Xinghong and Taoxin again: "How do you serve the queen?" How can you let the master sleep outside in such a cold weather. ”

Lan Xiaoyou couldn't let the two girls be punished by Huang Fu Rui, so she gently pulled Huang Fu Rui: "Your Majesty, it's none of their business, it's the concubines themselves who are willful." ”

Huang Fu Rui just showed his importance to her in front of Lan Xiaoyou, and Lan Xiaoyu pleaded, so he naturally let the two girls go.

"What are you still standing for? Why don't you hurry up and serve your master to change clothes, and by the way, boil another bowl of ginger soup and serve it to your master. ”

Lan Xiaoyou was not cold at all, but exercised too much, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her body, but she wanted to give Huang Furui face, so she had to take a sip of the ginger soup that tasted very strange.

After dinner, I did it again in the evening, closed my eyes and opened them again, and the next day arrived. After sending Huang Furui away and making sure that he would not come to Fengyi Palace again today, Lan Xiaoyou called Quan Tianfu into the palace and asked him to change into ordinary men's clothes.

Although Quan Tianfu is a eunuch, he is not as feminine as the eunuch on TV, wearing ordinary men's clothes, Quan Tianfu is not much different from an ordinary man.

Lan Xiaoyou and Xinghong also changed into men's clothes, and Lan Xiaoyou put on makeup for herself and changed her face.

Quan Tianfu was dumbfounded, and he was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground. He was so lucky to have such a powerful master. The master is so powerful, even if there are many women in the palace, they can't help the master, their own lives and future are proper, and they must be safe and smooth.

Xinghong and Taoxin couldn't help but laugh when they saw Quan Tianfu's stupid appearance, but when they thought of their appearance when they were shocked by Lan Xiaoyou, they suppressed their laughter, and really recognized Quan Tianfu in their hearts.

Lan Xiaoyou threw the eyebrow pencil into the dresser, stood up and greeted Xinghong and Quan Tianfu: "Let's go, it's time to go." ”

Quan Tianfu was about to walk outside the palace gate, but was stopped by Xinghong: "Come back, where are you going?" ”

Quan Tianfu was puzzled: "Out of the palace." ”

Xinghong smiled: "Hehe, we can't leave the palace openly, we have to go through the tunnel to get out of the palace." ”

"Authentically?" Quan Tianfu screamed in shock, and then realized that something was wrong, and lowered his voice and said, "There is an authentic tunnel in the palace? Does the emperor know? ”

"If the emperor knew, he would have controlled the tunnel a long time ago, and he would still be able to let you out of the palace?" Taoxin rolled her eyes at Quan Tianfu.

Xinghong smiled a little proudly: "The tunnel was discovered by me and Niangniang, and I came back so late with Taoxin yesterday to accompany Niangniang to explore the tunnel." ”

Quan Tianfu is also a smart person, and after a while, he figured it out, and asked in a low voice: "The tunnel is in the cold palace?" ”

Xinghong nodded: "Yes, there is an authentic entrance in the Cold Palace, but our Fengyi Palace also has an authentic entrance." ”

Quan Tianfu's face was full of incredulity, he has been in the palace for more than ten years, and his godfather has been in the palace for forty or fifty years, they have never heard of tunnels in the palace, and even the emperor does not know, and the emperor must not know. This tunnel must have a long history, could it have been built by the emperor of the previous dynasty?

"Let's go." Lan Xiaoyou walked towards her bedroom, she used her divine sense yesterday to find that the tunnel entrance to Fengyi Palace was in her bedroom.

The mechanism of Fengyi Palace is the same as that in the Cold Palace, and Lan Xiaoyou easily opened the tunnel entrance.

"Taoxin, you take care of the palace. Remember to improvise. Lan Xiaoyou told Tao Xin and led the other two into the tunnel.

It is not a short distance from the palace to the outside of the capital, and it is time-consuming and laborious along the way, like apricots, and I start to pant when I am halfway there.

"If you can't walk, stop and go back to the palace by yourself later." Lan Xiaoyu said.

"No, the slave can move." Xinghong shook her head again and again, it was dark and quiet in this tunnel, leaving her alone, she was afraid, "The slave maid can do it, the slave maid and the maid got up in the morning with her mother when she was a child and walked seven or eight miles to the county seat, that is, now she is living too well by the master's side, and she is not very active, so she will be tired after walking a little." Rest assured, the slave is fine, the slave can insist. ”

"Let's go slower, then." Quan Tianfu suggested.

"No, you don't." Xinghong hurriedly said, "I can do it, keep walking, don't delay time, it's not good if you leave the palace for too long and be discovered." ”

"Let's go, then." Lan Xiaoyou said, thinking that after returning to the palace, he would draw the structural drawings of the bicycle and let Lan Xiaoqin make and sell it. When the time comes, put a few bicycles in the tunnel, not only to save time, but also to save energy.

Finally came to the end of the tunnel, not bad, this time the entrance is not in a dwelling, but in a land temple. There is incense in the land temple, but there are not many, and there is no temple blessing or the like, when the three people come out of the tunnel, there is no one in the temple.

Xinghong sat on the ground all of a sudden, too tired to do it.

Lan Xiaoyou took out a purse and handed it to Quan Tianfu: "Go and see if there is anyone nearby, if there is, hire an ox cart to come over." ”

"Yes." Quan Tianfu walked out of the Land Temple with his purse. There were some loose pieces of silver in his purse, and Quan Tianfu naturally carried the silver with him, but Lan Xiaoyou's move made him feel very intimate.

After a while, Quan Tianfu came to the Land Temple with a carriage and came in to return: "Mother... Childe, there are no people nearby, but the land temple is next to the official road, and the servant stopped a carriage and gave a tael of silver to drive the car, and the driver was willing to take us to the city. ”

"Well done." Lan Xiaoyou praised and pulled Xinghong up, "Let's go, go to your second brother's place, and rest with you." ”

The carriage was not very clean, and Quan Tianfu was worried that Lan Xiaoyou would dislike it, so he was about to take off his coat and give Lan Xiaoyou a cushion to sit on, but Lan Xiaoyou sat directly on the board. Quan Tianfu stared and smiled for a while. This master is really different.

Because of the relationship of one or two silver, the coachman sent the three of them very attentively to the outside of the shop of the Qiusheng family.

The business of the Qiusheng family was very good, and there were long queues of people who came to buy bowl chickens and ice cream, and even some people who looked like they were from wealthy families, most likely to come to buy ice cream.

Chunsheng's sister-in-law's eyes were very sharp, and she saw the three people standing under the eaves opposite the shop, she had seen Xinghong's appearance as a man, and immediately recognized Xinghong, and immediately said to her man: "My sister is back, you look at the shop first, and I will inform the second brother." ”

It didn't take long for Qiusheng to rush over from the courtyard behind the shop and come to Xinghong's side.

"Sister, why did you come out of the palace?"

Sweeping his gaze, he swept Lan Xiaoyou, but he saw Lan Xiaoyou makeup as someone else, recognized Lan Xiaoyou at a glance, and exclaimed, "Master, you, why did you come out too?" ”

Lan Xiaoyou said: "This is not the place to talk, I am waiting for you in the private room of the teahouse in front of me." You come to me later, remember, don't let anyone but you know that I'm out of the palace. ”

"Yes." Qiusheng hurriedly responded. Although he didn't know how Lan Xiaoyou came out of the palace, he definitely couldn't be discovered by others.

After watching Lan Xiaoyou and the three enter the teahouse, Qiusheng returned to the shop, wrapped the account book with cloth, and prepared to go out.

Chunsheng's sister-in-law stopped her brother-in-law and asked, "Second uncle, was that person Xinghong just now?" ”

Since his sister-in-law had recognized Xinghong, Qiusheng did not hide it, and said: "It's Xinghong, the queen asked her to go out of the palace to do something." ”

"Oh, that's great. At noon, I added a few more dishes that I love to eat. ”

"No need, sister-in-law." Chunsheng stopped her sister-in-law, "Xinghong has to go back to the palace immediately after finishing her errands, and she can't eat at home." ”

"Really?" The sister-in-law was a little disappointed, "Dad and mother both miss their daughter, since Xinghong is back, why don't you meet your father." ”

"Uh...... Then I'll tell her and let her come to see her father and mother before going back to the palace. "Qiusheng decided to beg Lan Xiaoyu later, the master is kind-hearted, should he let Xinghong go home to see his relatives, right?

"Okay, it's better for her to be able to go home for lunch." Chunsheng's sister-in-law said.

"I'll try my best." After Qiusheng finished speaking, he left the shop.

Entering the box, Qiusheng put the account book in front of Lan Xiaoyou: "Master, this is the account of these days, you can take a look." ”

"Hmm." Lan Xiao answered, but did not open the ledger, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"That-" Qiusheng scratched his head and said, "My father and mother miss their daughter a little, can you let Xinghong go home to accompany my father?" ”

Lan Xiaoyou smiled when she heard this: "Of course you can, if it weren't for Xinghong's homesickness, I wouldn't have taken her out of the palace." Xinghong, you go home first, and wait for me at the Land Temple at three o'clock. ”

"Yes, master." Xinghong gratefully saluted Lan Xiaoyou and exited the box.

"Thank you, master." Qiusheng said gratefully.

Lan Xiaoyou smiled: "I will not treat those who are loyal to me badly. ”

After speaking, Lan Xiaoyou opened the account book under the moving eyes of Qiusheng and Quan Tianfu, and looked at it carefully, Qiusheng also made the account book according to the double-entry accounting method, and the income and expenditure items and numbers were clear at a glance, and there was no room for fraud. Lan Xiaoyou only took half an hour to read the account book.

"Yes, I'm satisfied, keep up the good work." Lan Xiaoyou's words of praise made Qiusheng extremely satisfied.

"Master, the business of the shop is in short supply now, and the small ones want to open branches, I don't know if they can?"

"As I said, the business is completely in charge of you, and if you think it will work, you can do it boldly."
