"The Spring Palace ...... painted by King Yan" Chai Yutu was stunned.

He Angelica lowered his head and sorted out the purse on his belt, and chatted with her in his mouth: "I guess, the painting you gave me and was quietly burned by me is probably a fake, because King Yan cherishes ink like gold, and every painting has a history, and it is not a market sale that can be obtained for a few hundred taels of silver." As for this 'Chai Beauty Bathing Picture', it is really a masterpiece of King Yan, and it was just painted in the middle of the night last night. I also specially explained to the messenger that it should be dried with pine wood and placed under Zhang Meiren's pillow according to your request. ”

"You, you're a ghost." Chai Yutu stopped for a long time and only popped out this sentence.

"If a ghost can distinguish between right and wrong, it is several times stronger than many people who don't know what is good or bad." He Angelica is like this.

Chai Yutu glared at the person in front of him hatefully, trembling his lips and said, "Don't be complacent, sooner or later, one day, your fate will be several times worse than mine." "She is unwilling, absolutely unwilling!

He Angelica raised his hand and folded off a section of flowering thorns, and said lightly: "Let's wait and see, but if I were you, I would at least change into clean clothes and go out to visit the garden." The news that you were slapped and fell out of favor by the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhang Meiren may not be willing to keep it secret for you, and you use this embarrassed appearance to show people, which is equivalent to confirming the news spread by Zhang Meiren. In this East Palace, where you are holding high and stepping on low, what is the fate of a beauty who has fallen out of favor, I don't need to say more, right? ”

She had a little wind chill after soaking in the well water last night, and began to sneeze after saying these words. Chai Yutu snorted coldly and walked away, colliding with a maid holding a fur fur halfway through the road, both took two steps back, and Chai Yutu randomly held a dwarf wood next to the road, scratching his fingertips. The maid did not bow and apologize, covered half of her face with her long fur, and ran away in a panic.

Chai Yutu is angry, this group of snobbish people, do you really think she can't turn over?

"Ding!"

Her embroidered shoes kicked something that the maid must have fallen from when she hit her. In normal times, Chai Yutu would not bend down her noble waist to pick up people's things, but today, the ghost made a miracle, she became interested in the shining metal surface that reflected the sunlight, and picked it up.

Chai Yutu held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, his eyes became brighter and brighter, isn't this ......

"Miss, you're so disobedient!"

Cicada Yi put on a long coat from behind, wrapped He Angelica tightly, and complained, "Didn't you say in the past that every time you get sick, bad things will happen to your relatives and friends around you. So, even if it's not for yourself, you shouldn't go out and blow the wind without clothes! ”

He Angelica carefully bypassed the spikes, took off the small purple flowers on the thorns, turned around and pinned them to the hair of the cicada, frowned and smiled: "I have clothes, Sister Cicada - hey, rabbit fur long fur?" Isn't it the one made by Princess Yan's tailor? I thought I wouldn't be able to wear it in the summer, but I didn't expect it to come in handy in the blink of an eye. ”

Cicada Yi took He Angelica's hand and walked to the backyard, educating her in a serious tone as she walked: "The East Palace is a dangerous place, people who are not familiar with the terrain can't walk around, Miss, just tell me what you want to eat and drink, and I'll find a way to get it for you." Remember, don't wander around, it's full of bad people. ”

He Angelica obediently returned to the airtight room, asked for a cup of ginger tea, a cup of custard, and the cicada clothes were really like a trick, and they were served in the blink of an eye.

Taking a sip of spicy ginger tea, He Angelica nodded at the cicada clothes and said gently: "Come, let's talk about it, why did you end up in the East Palace, how long have you been here, and what is the reason why you can't leave." Tell me all the stories, and I'll be sure to help you. ”

Knock knock! The corner door of Meng's mansion was knocked, and the boy outside the door knocked for a long time and no one answered the door, at this time, a blue and white cloth sedan chair quietly stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the four sedan chair men retreated in an orderly manner, followed by four women, and re-lifted the sedan chair and walked forward.

"Stop."

When the sedan chair passed by the people standing on the corner door, a voice stopped the sedan chair, and it was a soft and pleasant female voice. The sedan curtain was beaten, revealing a crescent-like plain face, it turned out that the person in the sedan chair was a girl, and it may be a young lady to look at, no wonder the rules of carrying the sedan chair are so exquisite.

The girl in the sedan chair glanced at the kid not far away, and asked without anger: "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Don't you know that the Meng Mansion is going to fight for seven days of peace and Jiao, and all visitors will be closed behind closed doors? ”

The kid hurriedly took out a letter from his pocket and unfolded it to her, "The little one is here to deliver the letter, there are secrets in it, and I want to present it to Meng Qi in person......"

Before the words fell, the girl who was sitting quietly snatched the letter from his hand, ignored the "Meng Xuan personally opened" on the envelope, tore open the letter and read it, rubbed the snow paper in his hand after reading, looked straight ahead, and ordered: "Tie up this messenger, close his mouth, and lock him in the firewood room." Carry my sedan chair to the courtyard of the second sister-in-law, let the little maid watch the door carefully, and don't let in the inappropriate people and letters of unknown origin. ”

"Yes."

One of the women carrying a sedan chair walked up to the boy and first gagged her mouth with her handkerchief, and then the forbidden scene was staged. The boy was horrified to find that this woman was so powerful that he couldn't even run away!

The corner door opened, and the remaining three women continued to walk with a sedan chair, stopping at the gate of a sunny courtyard, and as soon as the girl got off the sedan chair, the second grandmother in the yard, Lu, greeted her, and asked in surprise: "Why is Sister Jing back again?" Didn't your father-in-law send you to Zhuangzi outside the city for summer vacation? ”

The girl's thin face was expressionless, her eyes were black and golden, and she was dressed in green, standing outside the threshold, like a newly sprouted lotus leaf. She is the eldest lady of Meng Mansion, Meng Jing, who looks very similar to her biological mother, Aunt Hong, she has lived in the family temple since she was a child, and she is relatively distant from her brothers and sisters at home, and the most suitable person is the second sister-in-law Lu.

Several maids in the courtyard were beating locust flowers with bamboo poles, and they all turned their heads to look at her curiously. Meng Jing said "all down", dismissed everyone, and then threw the crumpled snow note to the Lu family.

"This is ......," Lu read with a puzzled expression.

The county lord of Qingning had an affair with Peng Yan, the second son of the Peng family, and because he had married the wife of the main family, he agreed to elope. The conversation between the two in the East Palace was overheard, and it was reported that they planned to meet in the grove of the West Garden the day after tomorrow, and escape from the East Palace together and leave the capital.

"This is a letter specially written for Brother Qi, it was sent to the corner gate, and the kid who delivered the letter seems to be a eunuch," Meng Jing paced with his hands, "Therefore, I speculate that the 'insider' lives in the East Palace, and this letter may be a trap." ”

Lu grabbed the letter and read it again, and asked puzzledly, "Eunuch?" Pitfall? ”

Meng Jing grabbed the letter back, tore it to shreds a few times, and explained: "That kid has a white face and fine skin, his nails are very clean, and he is dressed up. He knew that I was a young lady and looked at me directly, either because he didn't know the rules or he was a eunuch. Second sister-in-law, the younger sister secretly thought that the content of this letter, whether it was true or not, could not be seen by the seventh brother, otherwise he would definitely break into the prince's mansion at night. If this is a trap made by someone with a heart and exposes the hidden deeds of the seventh brother, then the eldest grandson of the emperor can come to the door openly and ask our Xingshi for his guilt. ”

"Oh." Lu nodded sluggishly, feeling that what this sixteen-year-old girl thought of was something that he, a ten-year-old person who was ten years older, didn't expect.

Meng Jing picked up a locust flower on the table, put it in her mouth and chewed it, her face showed her usual innocence and liveliness, and she stuck out her tongue and smiled: "The little eunuch has been detained, and no third person knows about this matter except for my sister-in-law and me." When the overall situation in the palace stabilizes, let's tell my father and mother again, do you think they will reward me with a new courtyard? ”

"Although this is good," Lu asked worriedly with a forced smile, "but the seventh brother knows afterwards, or if the seventh brother and sister are really gone, won't we become sinners?" ”

Meng Jing said indifferently: "It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married, even if the content of the letter is true, the fault is not you and me." Of course, the best way is to find a suitable person to go to the East Palace and ask the seventh sister-in-law in person, but where to find such a candidate? ”

Lu Shi thought silently, raised his head and said, "There really is such a person, but I still have to find a reason." ”

"Smack!"

Zhang Meiren slammed the medicine bowl in her hand on the ground, and porcelain pieces and medicinal juice splashed everywhere. Her beautiful face was so angry that she changed shape, and she asked angrily, "Your Highness went to that little slut's room again?" How can it be? He slapped her twice during the day! ”

Mama stepped over the broken porcelain, came up and followed Zhang Meiren's chest, and comforted: "The master doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as a little slut, she can't have children after eating rain and dew, no matter how many times His Royal Highness goes to her, you can't pose a threat to the master." You have been in the East Palace for many years, and it is easy to get pregnant, and it is the season for maintenance. Why bother with the little slut! ”

Zhang Meiren turned a deaf ear to Mama's persuasion, stared at the big red peony on the quilt like evil in her eyes, and asked repeatedly: "Why, why ......"

Why?

In the courtyard of falling flowers at night, Chai Yutu, who was "squatting in the cold palace", suddenly saw Zhu Yunwen striding in, asking for tea and food as usual, as if he had completely forgotten the "slapping incident" in the morning. Chai Yutu was flattered, but also asked himself in his heart, why?

Zhu Yunwen is not a generous man, this is what Peng Shi told her - there is a maid in the East Palace who fornicates with the guard, but it is just a maid that Zhu Yunwen has never used, but his method of dealing with it is to strip the two of them naked, nail them in the grove where people come and go, and bleed all over their bodies to death.

Chai Yutu couldn't believe that Zhu Yunwen forgave her so easily, and didn't dare to ask more. She carefully served the tea soup and side dishes, and stood quietly aside, watching Zhu Yunwen eat elegantly.

"You and the county lord of Qingning are friends who grew up together?" Zhu Yunwen put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked straight to the point.

Chai Yutu nodded, slipped his eyes, and observed whether the smile on Zhu Yunwen's face was a real smile or a fake smile.

I saw him get up slowly, grabbed her weak shoulder, smiled at her, stared at her eyes and said: "Then you go and tell her that the emperor has finalized the new candidate for the prince two years ago, that is, Bengong, his most filial and obedient emperor's eldest grandson." But now the situation has changed, the emperor is seriously ill and cannot announce this decree to the world, and the palace needs the help of the county lord of Qingning to bring out this holy decree from the palace. ”

“…… Oh. Under the oppressive gaze, Chai Yutu nodded stiffly.

"You tell He Angelica again, as long as you help this favor, in the future, she will be the hero of the new dynasty, and I will not treat her badly." Zhu Yunwen let go of Chai Yutu's shoulders and took off a dragon pendant from his waist, "This is a token." ”
