[072] Jia Yuanchun ascended to the heights, and Xia Shouzhong was suspicious and tempted
Through the half-open window, I saw that the two maids walked in with five or six steps left.
At this critical moment, Jia Chen stomped on the edge of a table of eight immortals, jumped up high, stepped on the edge of the window frame, raised his body again, raised his hands and grabbed the beam, swung his body upwards and shook it hard, a harrier turned over, and sat on the beam dexterously.
The whole process is like flowing water, in one go, the clothes are fluttering, and the chic is extreme.
Jia Yuanchun was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this distant cousin to be so amazing!
She only glanced upward, and then hurriedly withdrew her gaze, for fear that the two maids would follow her gaze.
Taking a deep breath, Jia Yuanchun clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and forced himself to calm down.
The two maids entered the house, saluted her, and began to clean the room.
Jia Yuanchun knew that the old lady was in a hurry, and if he waited for the two maids to finish cleaning, he was afraid that it would be too late.
Although he was afraid that Jia Chen would be discovered, Jia Yuanchun still gritted his teeth, walked out of the side hall quickly, and rushed to the old concubine Zhen's bedroom.
When she trotted all the way to the door of the dormitory, she happened to meet the old lady Zhen to send Mother Jia out.
Jia Yuanchun breathed a sigh of relief, he almost ran out of breath and broke his foot, but finally caught up.
She first greeted Mrs. Zhen and Mother Jia, and then asked Mrs. Zhen to step back, relayed what Jia Chen told her, and analyzed the stakes.
After she finished her statement, Concubine Zhen, Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu all suddenly realized that they were faintly afraid.
The old lady sighed and sighed:
"Yuan Chun, fortunately, you are very smart and thoughtful, I have experienced so many winds and waves, and I have not been able to see the stakes of this matter, how old are you, and your mind is so careful and thoughtful, which makes me very relieved."
"The old lady is too famous." Jia Yuanchun opened his mouth, wanting to say that this was all Jia Chen's idea.
But the old lady Zhen was next to her, and Jia Yuanchun didn't dare to say that it was Jia Chen who sneaked into the harem and explained the benefits to her.
I had to wait until I had the opportunity to explain the truth to the old lady later.
Lin Daiyu secretly said in her heart that it was dangerous, and she almost did something bad with good intentions, burying Brother Chen's bright future.
If Emperor Chongrui had a rift with Brother Chen because of this matter, and even feared and disgusted him, then Brother Chen would inevitably have a bad career and a gloomy future in the future.
In fact, on the way to the palace, Lin Daiyu faintly felt that there was something wrong with entering the palace to intercede, but at that time, she was so anxious that she had no time to think about it, so she would act recklessly with Jia's mother, and almost made a big mistake.
Wang Xifeng was also embarrassed, she has always boasted of being smart and exquisite, but she failed to see the hidden dangers of this trip.
It seems that Jia Yuanchun is worthy of being the concubine of the second room of the Rong Mansion and the female historian of the harem.
What Wang Xifeng didn't know was that it was actually Jia Chen who woke up Jia Yuanchun with a word and asked Jia Yuanchun to explain the benefits and disadvantages on his behalf.
The corners of Old Concubine Zhen's lips were slightly raised, her eyes showed appreciation, and her good impression of Jia Yuanchun deepened a little.
Back then, Jia Yuanchun was elected to the harem, and because the Jia family and the Zhen family were old relatives for several lifetimes, Jia Yuanchun naturally became the wings of the old lady Zhen.
In order to maintain the relationship, Jia Yuanchun often came to greet Concubine Zhen, and was one of Concubine Zhen's cronies in the harem.
But Jia Yuanchun had never shown such amazing foresight before, but today she analyzed it in a few words, explaining the benefits and disadvantages, which made the old lady Zhen secretly surprised and impressed.
Although she didn't let Concubine Zhen come forward to help in the end, Mother Jia still thanked her for her kindness, and then with the support of Lin Daiyu and Wang Xifeng, she said goodbye and left.
Jia Yuanchun was worried that Jia Chen would be discovered by the maid, so he was always worried, and after a few words of greeting with the old lady Zhen, he also bowed and retired, and rushed back to his dormitory in a panic.
Fortunately, the two maids were gone.
Jia Yuanchun looked up at Fang Liang, only to see Jia Chen turn a somersault and jump down.
"Eldest sister, is the matter done?" Jia Chen asked with a smile.
Jia Yuanchun said: "Don't worry, I have made it clear to the old lady that the old lady Zhen will not go to the emperor." ”
"Quack—"
With a sudden thunderclap.
A bolt of lightning snaked and exploded the sky like a silver flower of fire.
The rain crackled and fell.
Seeing that the rain was getting more and more urgent, Jia Yuanchun urged:
"Brother Chen, it's raining outside now, you quickly put on your robe, pretend to be my personal eunuch, and I'll send you out of the palace!"
Jia Chen smiled indifferently and said:
"No need, I'll work lightly and sneak out on my own."
Jia Yuanchun said with a solemn face:
"It's almost dusk, Your Majesty is coming to the harem for dinner, and on the way back just now, I found that there are more than twice as many guards on duty and patrolling the harem.
No matter how high your martial arts are, it will be extremely difficult for you to slip out from under the noses of so many internal guards, so it is safer for me to send you out. ”
"Okay, then there will be Sister Lao."
Jia Chen knew that he was in danger now and had to leave the harem immediately, so he put on his robe, put on a cloak, dressed up in disguise, and walked out of the side hall with Jia Yuanchun.
Outside the dormitory, it was pouring rain and thunder.
Under the eaves of the corridor of the nine-curved ileum, there stood a row of guards with swords hanging from their waists, holding spears, and eunuchs and palace maids in twos and threes, hunched their backs, shuttling back and forth.
Jia Chen followed behind Jia Yuanchun's side and helped her hold an oil-paper umbrella.
The two tried their best to avoid the sight of the palace people, and hurried to the side door of the harem.
But when passing through the imperial garden, a group of people came up, including two eunuchs holding a huge canopy, and under the umbrella was a large eunuch in an ochre-red bullfighting suit.
Jia Yuanchun's breath stagnated, his steps paused, and he shivered.
Jia Chen asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Jia Yuanchun whispered in a panicked tone:
"The big eunuch in front is Xia Shouzhong, the capital eunuch of the Six Palaces, which is equivalent to the chief steward of the Six Palaces."
Jia Chen's heart jumped, and he didn't need Yuan Chun to say it in detail, he already knew in his heart that he was afraid that he would not be able to be fooled in front of Xia Shouzhong.
"Let's go back and hide first."
Jia Yuanchun wanted to go back to the side hall to avoid it, but as soon as he turned around, he heard a voice that was neither male nor female:
"Where are you going?"
Jia Yuanchun's body trembled, paused, and had to pretend to be calm, turned back to face Xia Shouzhong, bowed his knees, and said calmly:
"The lower official asked Xia Du to ask for peace."
"No need to be polite!" As he spoke, Xia Shouzhong had already led a group of his subordinates to the front.
Jia Chen bowed his head slightly, covering his eyebrows with the brim of his cloak.
Xia Shouzhong squinted at Jia Chen and asked as if with deep meaning:
"This little eunuch on duty is very dignified, but his face is very raw, I don't know who his surname is?"
Hearing this, Jia Yuanchun suddenly tightened the Jinpa in his hand, and anxiously thought about how to prevaricate the past, but listened to Jia Chen imitate the eunuch's shrill voice and responded:
"Returning to the capital eunuch, the little one's surname is Wang, and his name is Ah Ying."
Xia Shouzhong bowed slightly, and smiled thoughtfully:
"It's a nice name, but I never seem to have heard of it."
Jia Chen replied calmly:
"Lord Metropolitan Prison is always accompanied by the Holy Driver, and every day is full of opportunities, and what he remembers in his heart is His Majesty's safety and national affairs, how dare the small ones worry about the adults, it is natural that the adults do not know me."
Xia Shouzhong's face softened slightly, and he smiled with a slight approving smile:
"You can speak, answer fluently, speak appropriately, and behave in a measured manner, which can be of great use."
Jia Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Xia Shouzhong suddenly ask:
"As the personal eunuch of the female historian, you should have martial arts, and our family will take the school examination on behalf of the female historian."
Hearing this, Jia Yuanchun wanted to find a reason to help Jia Chen refuse this competition.
But although Xia Shouzhong is called a slave, he is actually powerful in the harem, and he is not good at saving his face, not to mention that he is weak in his heart, worried that Jia Chen's identity will be exposed, and he hesitates for a while, not knowing how to speak.
When he was flustered, he heard Jia Chen laugh without humility or arrogance:
"It's rare that Lord Metropolitan Eunuch is willing to favor his eyes, and it's an honor for the little one, please give me advice."
Xia Shouzhong's face was slightly pale, and he waved his hand at a eunuch with a big waist and a round waist beside him:
"Little Biaozi, you have a discussion with Ah Ying!"
