The concubine was graceful and luxurious, with outstanding aura, and kind eyebrows between her eyebrows, which made people feel cordial, Nangong Yu asked the little eunuch behind her: "What is the name of the concubine on the left of the emperor?" The little eunuch said: "That is Shu Guifei, but the red person in front of the emperor." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At this time, Liu Jin said: "The New Year is coming, and the Holy Lord will give a banquet to the ministers, hoping that Kyushu will be happy and the world will be peaceful." All the officials stood up and thanked him. Then the banquet began, and the price of delicacies from the mountains and seas came up. Nangong Yu, Zhang Juzheng, Yan Shifan, Gao Gong and others took turns to toast the emperor. Zhu Houxi was very happy today, drinking happily, and was in great interest, sometimes turning his head and smiling at Shu Guifei, but he didn't talk much to Leng Yueji.

At this time, Zhu Houxi saw Hai Rui sitting in the last seat, and glanced at Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan got up knowingly and smiled: "Yo, isn't this Lord Hai, why did you come here dressed like this, isn't it disrespectful to the saint?" Hai Rui got up and replied: "The lower official only has this one piece of clothing." Yan Shifan said with a smile: "You have been a county magistrate for three years, and you don't have a decent set of clothes, who can you show if you are poor?" Hai Rui shook his head and said, "There really isn't." ”

Yan Shifan sneered: "During the Spring Festival, you don't have to worry about it, dress like a flower child, this is called insulting the national body!" Hai Rui frowned, straightened up, and was about to refute, but seeing Nangong Yu frequently glancing at him, he didn't want to embarrass his friends, so he sighed secretly and lowered his head.

Yan Shifan said: "What's the matter? I have nothing to say? It is right to be diligent and thrifty, but it is not right to pretend to be poor." The audience burst into laughter, and Zhu Houxi also laughed. Hai Rui listened expressionlessly, no longer arguing.

At this time, Xiao Jiu quietly came behind Nangong Yu and said, "Mrs. Zhu has now changed into the clothes of a palace maid and blended into the next batch of dim sum delivery teams, and she is about to enter the palace." Nangong Yu was shocked, and when he looked back at Xiao Jiu, he was already far away.

The whole audience watched intently as Yan Shifan mocked Hai Rui, and no one had an idea A team of palace maids came up with all kinds of snacks in their hands, and the tallest one was Zhu Xinqi.

Nangong Yu saw her shrinking one hand in her sleeve, expecting that she had a sharp knife hidden in it, so she didn't dare to hesitate at this moment, picked up the wine glass and pretended to be a toast and walked towards Zhu Houxi. Zhu Xinqi also found him, glared at him and didn't let him get close, Nangong ignored him, and still walked over with a smile. Zhu Xinqi bit it, walked out of the queue, wrapped his palm in his sleeve, and obviously wanted to forcibly assassinate him. Nangong Yu also took two steps quickly, secretly lucky, and determined to restrain Zhu Xinqi before she showed her knife, as for whether she would be discovered by Zhu Houxi, she could only resign herself to fate.

At this juncture, Concubine Shu suddenly stood up and looked at Zhu Xinqi. Zhu Xinqi also found her, her footsteps suddenly froze, her delicate body trembled, her pretty face showed a look of horror, and she stared at Shu Guifei's face in disbelief. Concubine Shu smiled at her casually: "You sent it to the wrong place, that plate of dim sum belongs to the prince's table." Zhu Houxi just glanced at it after hearing it and then shifted his attention to Hai Rui, Zhu Xinqi still had that look of disbelief, Shu Guifei winked at her and sat back.

Zhu Xinqi forcibly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and passed by Nangong Yu with a snack. Nangong Yu was also surprised in his heart, and he was silent at the moment, came to Zhu Houxi's side, and said: "Brother respects the emperor with a cup, and wishes the emperor a healthy dragon and an early immortal body." Zhu Houxi laughed, picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, and drank it all.

At this time, Yan Shifan also finished counting Hai Rui and sat down again. Hai Rui didn't argue that it was all about giving Nangong Yu face, otherwise let alone Yan Shifan, even if it was Zhu Houxi, he would dare to speak out to the end. He sat down and said nothing, and the delicacies on the table did not move, waiting for the banquet to end.

Zhu Xinqi put down the snack and walked back, and Nangong Yu followed under the pretext of changing clothes. Zhu Xinqi walked alone in front, came to the backyard and hid behind a tree. As soon as Nangong Yu came over, Zhu Xinqi grabbed him and said excitedly: "My sister is not dead! My sister is not dead!" Nangong Yu was confused and said: "What are you talking about?" Zhu Xinqi cried and laughed: "That Shu Guifei is my sister! She is not dead!" Nangong Yu was shocked and said: "Shu Guifei is your sister?" Zhu Xinqi said: "I will never be mistaken, the way she looked at me and the way she spoke, I will never forget." Nangong Yu nodded, although he didn't know what was going on, but this place was definitely not the place to speak, Nangong Yu said: "I'll take you out of the palace first, and talk about something slowly." ”

Zhu Xinqi was no longer stubborn, put on the fox fur of Nangong Yu, and walked towards the Xuanwu Gate. The Praetorian Guards couldn't see the palace maid's clothes under the big haze at night, and when they saw that it was brought out by Nangong Yu, they didn't dare to ask a word, and let them go after giving a salute. Nangong Yu sent Zhu Xinqi to the sedan chair and instructed: "Send the lady back to the house, and then carry the sedan chair back." After speaking, he walked back to the Forbidden City, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly called it dangerous.

At this time, Xiao Jiu walked out of the darkness, walked with him, and asked, "Sent away?" Nangong Yu nodded and said, "It's okay." Xiao Jiu also said with relief: "That's good, I'll just assume that this incident didn't happen, and don't look for me again if the prince has such an errand in the future." After saying that, Shi Li left. Nangong Yu knew that he had guessed seven or eight, and he was also grateful to him for keeping it a secret for himself.

When he returned to the Taihe Palace, the banquet had just ended, and Hai Rui left as soon as possible. Nangong Yu greeted the ministers for a while, and after bidding farewell to Zhu Houxi, he left with Wei Yurou.

When she returned to the palace, Zhu Xinqi was talking to Ouyang Shan, and when she saw them coming back, she stood up excitedly and said, "My sister has spoken to you?" Nangong Yu shook his head and said: "She is the emperor's favorite concubine, how can she be so easy to speak, fortunately, there is no danger this time, next time you must not be so willful, how many people will follow you and be afraid." The last sentence was already very harsh.

Zhu Xinqi said aggrievedly: "I know, I'm sorry Xianggong, I won't dare in the future." Nangong Yu slowed down his tone and said, "That's it, how are the children?" Ouyang Shan said: "It's all asleep, don't worry." ”

They talked for a while, and someone came to report: "There is a carriage that wants to enter the mansion, and if you ask them ishei, you won't say it, let the villain come and ask the prince and Mrs. Zhu, and you will naturally understand." ”

Nangong Yu's heart moved, and said, "Let the carriage come in." After a while, the carriage entered the mansion, and a palace maid walked down and said, "Our master only saw the prince and Mrs. Zhu, please avoid the others." ”

When the two of them were the only ones left in the room, a slender figure in a black cloak got out of the carriage and entered the house and closed the door. Zhu Xinqi stood up excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it sister?" The man took off his hood, it was Shu Guifei, Zhu Xinyi, and smiled happily: "Sister." Zhu Xinqi threw herself into her arms and cried bitterly: "Sister, why didn't you die, what happened?" After Shu Guifei waited for her mood to calm down, she took her hand and sat down and said: "When I planned the 'Renyin Change', I found a scapegoat, and after the failure, it was another person who was killed, and I was safe." I wanted to assassinate Zhu Houxi after lurking for a while, but who knows... Who knew that he actually fell in love with me and made me a concubine, I had a lot of opportunities to start, but every time I hesitated and missed it, and now I can't do it if I want to. ”

Nangong Yu said: "Because the concubine fell in love with the saint, right?" Shu Guifei sighed: "Yes." I was afraid that my father and lord would blame me when they found out, so I simply pretended to do it and never left the palace again. I know you're sad to think I'm dead, and I know it's selfish to do so, but for my own happiness, I can only continue to pretend to be a dead person. I didn't expect it to be discovered in the end. Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly.

Zhu Xinqi said: "Sister, you can deceive me so miserable, I want to enter the palace twice to avenge you" Shu Guifei touched her hair and said with a smile: "Silly girl, if you really have three long and two short, I will really be guilty for life." Nangong Yu said happily: "It's rare for your sisters to reunite, shouldn't we celebrate." Shu Guifei said: "I sneaked out when the emperor sacrificed to the sky, and now I have to go back quickly, and the prince will have to help in the palace in the future, and the palace will do its best, then again, you are still the young master of the palace." ”
