The Compassionate Ning Palace occupies a huge area, the northwest corner is where the palace people live, the maids live in the south-facing wing rooms, and the eunuchs live in a lower status, living in the north rooms, the distance between the two places is not far, but It's just a corridor away.

Duan Mingchen went to Zi Po's room first. As the most favored court lady, Zi Po lived in a large room in Chaoyang, and even had a small yard with many flowers and plants planted in it.

Zi Kui's room is neatly organized, and most of them are various spices and dried flower petals, which should be the raw materials for making rouge powder and incense.

It may be that a large amount of sweet-scented osmanthus has just been collected as raw materials, the whole room is filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and there are two boxes of newly made rouge on the dressing table. color and fragrance.

There was an embroidery frame on the bed, and Duan Mingchen took a closer look. It was a picture of butterflies in love with flowers. The veil was only half embroidered, but it could be seen that the master's embroidery was quite good, and the stitches were meticulous.

After Duan Mingchen searched Zi Po's room, he searched the rooms of other court ladies one by one, but most of the court ladies' rooms were similar, and there were not many special discoveries.

After searching the maid's residence, Duan Mingchen turned to search the room of the inner prison facing north. There were not many inner prisons, but only six rooms. The inner prison had fewer things than the palace maids, and the only valuables were some jewelry, gold and silver.

The last room was separated from the other rooms by several feet, and before entering the door, there was a strange smell. Duan Mingchen gasped, and Zhou Li explained: "This is the room of Eunuch Qian Xi, you know his He is mainly responsible for raising cats, so it will inevitably smell a little bit, so arrange for him to live far away."

Duan Mingchen nodded knowingly, pushed the door open and went in.

Qian Xi's room was very messy. There was a pile of dried fish on the table, two small porcelain jars with open mouths in the corner, clothes and shoes were scattered around, and there were even two pairs of unwashed socks thrown away. On the bed, even Zhou Li frowned in disgust.

But Duan Mingchen didn't care, and carefully checked the utensils in the room.

Inside one of Qian Xi's blouses, he found an exquisitely embroidered purse with fine stitches, a lotus flower embroidered on the red satin pattern, and the purse exuded the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Duan Mingchen gently flipped the black mass in the charcoal basin with a wooden stick, and found that it looked like a thin and small piece of paper, but it had been burned to ashes, and nothing could be seen.

The porcelain pot in the corner also caught Duan Mingchen's attention. These two pots looked exactly the same, one was filled with small brown particles, the other was filled with black lumps, both smelled fishy.

Zhou Li said: "This looks like something for cats."

Duan Mingchen hummed, and leaned closer to see clearly, but heard a loud meow, raised his head, and saw a huge, fluffy Persian cat staring at him.

"Hey, isn't this the Queen Mother's Persian cat?" Zhou Li asked in surprise.

Based on its rare appearance, Duan Mingchen also guessed that it was the queen mother's cat. It was scared and ran away before, but it got used to Qian Xi's service, wandered outside for a while, became very hungry, and ran back secretly Find something to eat.

The Persian cat looked at Duan Mingchen and Zhou Li vigilantly. Duan Mingchen picked up two pots and lured it closer. The Persian cat was spoiled in the palace and was not very afraid of people. A jar filled with brown particles, buried his head in eating.

Duan Mingchen stepped forward to remove the jar and replaced it with another jar filled with black lumps. The Persian cat lowered its head and sniffed it, but didn't eat a single bite. It raised its head and meowed dissatisfiedly at Duan Mingchen.

Duan Mingchen knelt down and touched its head with his hands. Although the Persian cat was huge, it had an unexpectedly good temper. The belly is rolling, and the naive look is very cute.

Duan Mingchen asked Zhou Li to take a little of each of the contents in the jar, wrap it in oiled paper and take it away.

Duan Mingchen walked out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, looked up, it was already dusk, he thought about Gu Huaiqing going to search the concubine's palace, not knowing what was going on.He simply went to Dongchang to wait for Gu Huaiqing.

As soon as he walked to Dongchang, he saw Gu Huaiqing leading a group of Dongchang's subordinates, with his little follower Yu Hanfei behind him, walking in from the door swaggeringly.

When Duan Mingchen saw Gu Huaiqing, he couldn't help showing a smile on his stern face, and greeted him personally.

Gu Huaiqing nodded slightly at Duan Mingchen, turned around and waved at his opponent: "That's it for today, you all go down and rest."

"Yes, my lord!" All the subordinates answered in unison, only Yu Hanfei begged reluctantly: "My lord, let this servant stay and serve you."

Since Gu Huaiqing was injured by the queen mother last time, Xiao Jing knew that Gu Huaiqing was kind to Yu Hanfei, and Yu Hanfei also had feelings for Gu Huaiqing, so she asked Yu Hanfei to serve by Gu Huaiqing's side.Yu Hanfei was also happy to accept such a task, wishing he could spend more time with Gu Huaiqing.

Yu Hanfei got Xiao Jing's permission to run with Gu Huaiqing during this period of time, but he worked hard and did his best.However, every time he saw this cold-faced Mr. Duan, Gu Huaiqing would dismiss others, which made Yu Hanfei a little upset.

Gu Huaiqing was so tired that he didn't even want to talk. Leading people to search the palace was not an easy job. He was busy all afternoon and didn't even bother to take a sip of water.At this time, I was thirsty and hungry.The problem he suffered from when he was a child was that he couldn't bear to be hungry. Whenever he was hungry, his stomach hurt and his temper became irritable.

"If you don't listen to me, just go back to Yuqian to serve." Gu Huaiqing threw down such a sentence, without even looking at Yu Hanfei, he went straight to Duan Mingchen.

"Are you tired?" Duan Mingchen smiled, seeing that Gu Huaiqing was wearing thin clothes, he took off his sable velvet cape and put it on Gu Huaiqing's shoulders, while Gu Huaiqing took advantage of the situation and leaned into his arms. It's really indescribable intimacy.

Yu Hanfei stared at this scene with wide eyes. Duan Mingchen seemed to have noticed it. He glanced back at Yu Hanfei. His eyes were colder than ice, with a hint of warning. Yu Hanfei couldn't help shivering in his calves, and ran out .

Walking into the inner room, as soon as the door was closed, Gu Huaiqing's elegant and cold image instantly collapsed.He slumped down on the bench beside the table, picked up the teapot, and poured it with his head raised.

"Hey, the tea is completely cold, drink less!" Duan Mingchen urged angrily and distressedly.

Gu Huaiqing was not willing to listen, and drank the herbal tea hungrily like a camel sucking water, his Adam's apple slid up and down, making a gurgling sound, and the light blue tea overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and slid down his delicate chin to his snow-white neck.

Duan Mingchen stared at his beautifully shaped snow neck, imagining the warm jade-like touch when touching it, he couldn't help sliding his Adam's apple, and silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Gu Huaiqing drank more than half of the pot of tea in one breath, and finally quenched his thirst. He sipped his mouth twice, and the hunger in his stomach became stronger.

Gu Huaiqing complained to Duan Mingchen: "I'm starving to death, is there any food left?"

"It's already past dinner time, but I asked them to save the food and heat it on the stove. I didn't eat it either, I kept the food for you to come back with." Duan Mingchen said, took out the veil and wiped it clean for Gu Huaiqing Water stains at the corners of the mouth.

Duan Mingchen's gentle eyes and considerate behavior made Gu Huaiqing proud and satisfied. Gu Huaiqing couldn't help leaning on Duan Mingchen's face, and kissed him: "Madam is so virtuous!"

Duan Mingchen was completely seduced by this action. Duan Mingchen grabbed Gu Huaiqing's hand, pressed him on the table and kissed him hard, which made his eyes moist, his lips were as red as rouge, and even his snow-white neck was stained. A blush.

Gu Huaiqing saw that the man's eyes became dark and his breathing became rough. He immediately felt bad, and said loudly: "Hey, don't do it, I'm really starving to death, eat first, it's important to eat!"

Gu Huaiqing made a clever effort, breaking away from Duan Mingchen's body like a cunning fish, and quickly closed the front skirt that was torn apart by the man.

Duan Mingchen took a deep breath, calmed down, and felt a little regretful, after all, this is the imperial palace, or the East Factory, with too many people, it's really not a good place to do business.

However, after being separated for so many days, the lovesickness in his heart is increasing day by day, thinking about him makes his heart ache, and now he can finally embrace the sweetheart whom he has missed for many days in his arms, it is human nature to be unable to bear it for a while, really Meng Lang couldn't be blamed.

It's a pity that although Gu Huaiqing is a beauty, he is very dull at certain times, especially when he is hungry, his whole attention is focused on his appetite, even the emperor and I can't hinder him from eating.

Duan Mingchen has been with Gu Huaiqing for a long time, and he also knows his problems, so he hurriedly sent someone to fetch the hot meals.

Gu Huaiqing stared eagerly at the door and waited for the food to be delivered. That greedy little look was just like a tiger girl. Duan Mingchen couldn't help but rubbed his head with a smile, but in exchange for Gu Huaiqing's annoyed look Remember the eye knife.

Soon, steaming hot meals were brought over and placed on the table one by one. Gu Huaiqing quickly picked up the bowls and chopsticks, ready to start.

It's a pity that during the national mourning period, there can't be any meaty food on the food. This made Gu Huaiqing, who has no pleasure in meat, very depressed. Looking at the green dishes, he took a few mouthfuls of plain rice bored.

Duan Mingchen couldn't help snickering at the unlovable expression of this snack guy, leaned into Gu Huaiqing's ear, and said in a low voice: "You call me good brother, and I'll conjure up something delicious for you."

Gu Huaiqing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he grabbed Duan Mingchen's arm, and asked excitedly, "Really? You can change it even if I want to eat meat?"

Duan Mingchen proudly said: "Of course, when did my brother lie to you?"

Gu Huaiqing bowed his head into Duan Mingchen's arms without any integrity, grabbed his neck, imitated the appearance of those concubines who invited favors, and begged tiredly: "Good brother, give it to me, give it to me quickly!"

Although Gu Huaiqing is good-looking, he is an out-and-out man. He doesn't have a trace of fat in his body, but this time he is pretending to be a favorite concubine, acting coquettishly and foolishly with a thin voice, which almost scared Duan Mingchen into goosebumps. He couldn't stand it. Pulling it open, he took out an oiled paper bag from his arms and threw it at him.

Gu Huaiqing groaned, jumped up and took a bite, tore off the greased paper two or three times, and let out a cheer: "Ah, my favorite Yuanfulou Braised Beef!"

Duan Mingchen hurriedly used beef to gag Gu Huaiqing's mouth: "Little ancestor, keep your voice down! I secretly brought it in, don't let anyone know!"

Gu Huaiqing grumbled in response, holding the beef happily, biting it bite by mouthful, showing sharp white teeth from time to time, it really looked like the mastiff that Jin Yiwei raised.

Duan Mingchen smiled dotingly, and picked up the bowl, drinking the bland vegetable tofu soup, while admiring Gu Huaiqing gnawing on the beef.

Generally speaking, when a person holds a large piece of beef and bites it, he can't look good, but Gu Huaiqing is different. Although he eats fiercely, his posture is still elegant. beautiful.

The so-called delicious food is just like that. Duan Mingchen drank clear soup, ate plain rice, and light rice with vegetables. He was satisfied like never before.

That piece of stewed beef weighed more than a catty, and Gu Huaiqing killed most of it by himself, and finally suppressed the feeling of being so hungry and flustered. Only then did he realize that when he thought of Duan Mingchen, looking at the vegetables and rice in the man's bowl, he felt a little guilty, tearing it up. He took a piece of beef and put it in Duan Mingchen's bowl.

Duan Mingchen put the bowl on the table, pointed to Gu Huaiqing's mouth, and signaled Gu Huaiqing to feed him.

Gu Huaiqing knew that Duan Mingchen had no special preference for beef, and this stewed beef must have been specially bought for him, so he felt warm and warm in his heart, looking at the man's handsome face, the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

Gu Huaiqing tore off a piece of beef tendon, twisted it with his fingers and brought it to Duan Mingchen's mouth. Duan Mingchen opened his mouth and swallowed his fingertips in one bite.

Duan Mingchen swallowed the beef in one gulp, but his soft and moist tongue wrapped around his sensitive fingers, carefully licking off the soup on his fingertips.

Gu Huaiqing snorted, his waist was numb, his whole body was weak, Jun's face was as red as a cloud of fire, and he cursed in a low voice: "Shameless!"

But in exchange for a chuckle from the man, he pulled him into his arms, and kissed his lips domineeringly...
