September is full of flowers

The eldest prince Zhu Kui frowned and said, "Concubine Ning Gui asked them to find Zhu Chai, is she favoring Hong Daoyi? If that's the case, the gate supervisor will really lose face." Turning his head, he found that De Cheng was actually smiling, Confused, "Why are you laughing? Could it be that the gatekeeper offended you, and you are happy when she is unlucky?"

Decheng said sullenly, "You underestimate the gate supervisor too much. Bengong promises that even if the gate supervisor of Tianwen gate loses, she can return to Taige with a cheeky face."

"Oh?"

"Because our gate supervisor in the Dafeng Dynasty had too many embarrassing things, and we are not afraid of losing face again." Decheng concluded.

When he broke into the Taige that day, what he saw was the gate prisoner who was still burning incense and bathing. Decheng still can't forget the scene he saw that day.Although she was outside the door, she could see the smooth and white back under the mist, with graceful lines. The man's face was covered in the mist, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at her with surprise and contempt. The picture was unbelievably beautiful.

But it was a pity that she was soon dragged away by someone sent by her father. After being seen by the gate guard on her back, she walked out, wearing a mask, and said lightly to De Chengyun, "His Royal Highness, you just watched What's wrong with my back?"

The air seemed to be condensed, Decheng was dumbfounded, and the dozen or so people around him were also as stiff as wood, unable to lift their heads in embarrassment.

The gate supervisor looked at the starry sky and said in confusion, "The red luan star moves slightly, Your Highness, you..."

Immediately, Decheng's face was blushing, and he stomped his feet and said, "Get out of the way for Bengong, I'm going back to the palace!"

So that night, there were faint rumors in the palace that Princess Decheng peeped at the gate and failed to take a bath, became angry from embarrassment, and ran away in a fit of anger.

After causing such a misunderstanding, Decheng did leave, but he met Ning Tao in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion outside the palace.Decheng was already in a bad mood, but happened to meet Ning Tao and made a mess. Decheng went back to the palace in disgrace and was punished by the queen. He hated Ning Tao more and more, but what he hated even more was the gate who was the culprit. Supervise.

Seeing Decheng's pale face, Zhu Kui trembled and dared not mention it again.

Looking at the arena again, Hong Dao spread out a mat and sat on the ground, took a copper basin and filled it with water, and began to look for Zhu Chai.Lian Yi stood beside him and watched intently, without any intention of looking for anything.

When Hong Dao saw Lian Yi's movements, he tried to calm himself down at first, not to be disturbed by this woman, but later he became more and more unable to concentrate, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "My lord supervisor, Why don't you get ready?"

Lian Yi said, "Have you already started looking?"

"This is the method of 'Exploring Objects with the Big Dipper'. Use a copper basin filled with water to find what you are looking for. Isn't the Master Supervisor using this method?"

Lian Yi glanced at a big cauldron placed in the middle of the field, with a stick of incense sticking in it to estimate the time it took to find the object, shook his head and said, "You are looking for you, I will take a look first."

Helpless, Hong Dao had no choice but to focus on finding things again under her burning eyes.

Does this woman want to learn and sell now, and use my method to find Zhu Chai?No, it's impossible, I spent four years in order to learn this "Beidou Tanwu", visited famous scholars, and read hundreds of collections of philosophers, even Ning Xu's natural wisdom had to be learned for a long time under my guidance Day, how could this girl learn it all at once?

Among the guests present, Ning Xiang looked calm, and sipped his tea from time to time, and later asked the servants around him to replace him with good wine, and poured himself a drink.

The gate supervisor glanced at Ning Xiang, turned the cup in his hand, and said slowly, "Master Ning, drinking hurts your body. The man is dead, so why do you need to worry in vain?"

Hearing this, Ning Xiang stared suddenly, put down the glass heavily, and some of the wine in the glass spilled out with a splash.With a gloomy face, he said, "If it wasn't for you, my Xu'er wouldn't have died."

Qing Ning couldn't help but said, "If it wasn't for the gate supervisor, you wouldn't even be able to keep another grandson."

"Qing Ning—" the gate supervisor gave her a warning look, and then said calmly, "Master Xiang lost his beloved grandson, this gate supervisor is really ashamed, I offer a cup of tea instead of wine to Mr. Ning to comfort the heroic spirit." As he said that, in front of everyone, he swept away the tea with a flick of his sleeve.

Ning Xiang's eyes moved slightly, he glanced at Qing Ning, and then looked away.

Qing Ning turned her head to look at the middle of the field and said, "This Hong Daoyi is quite capable."

"If you don't have some skills, you can't stand in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years. He is responsible for the good and bad luck of all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The responsibility is really heavy." The supervisor said.

"But he left the Prime Minister's Mansion when Ning Xu was about to have an accident..." Qing Ning pointed, "What a despicable person."

The gate supervisor was noncommittal, and changed the subject, "I don't know how long Lian Yi will play..."

"Everyone knows that the method of 'Beidou Detecting Objects' is profound and unpredictable, but they don't know that the Five Elements Gate actually has a more convenient and accurate method. Just paying attention to this detail can be complementary. Therefore, for Hong Daoyi, the very difficult thing to find, for Lian Yi, who was born in the Five Elements Gate, it is just a blink of an eye." Qing Ning said and wrinkled Brows, "But the gate supervisor, Lian Yi used to be a member of the Five Elements Sect. We arranged her to be the gate supervisor of the Tianwen Gate. Is it too risky? If someone finds out..."

"Lian Yi is a talent. If it weren't for a man, she would have become our biggest opponent. Now she can't go back to the Five Elements Gate. Since I dare to take her in, I have the confidence to make her surrender. Through her, we You can learn a lot of the secrets of the Five Elements Sect. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will not slack in a hundred battles, she may be our secret weapon against the Five Elements Sect in the future."

"Yes, sir." Qing Ning nodded.

Shen Man stood on the stage and quietly observed the situation below. Of course, she knew Lian Yi better than the ignorance of other people.Although Shen Man couldn't bear to recall everything that happened in Chenzhou, and even though Lian Yi was the real culprit who massacred those people, Shen Man still couldn't really hate this woman.

Because the real culprit who prompted her to do all that was the treacherous man named Yawangzhi.

And Ning Xiang——

Shen Man looked at him secretly. After the old man learned that Ning Xu had died, white hair grew from his temples, and the dimples on his face seemed to have deepened, and he became much older all of a sudden.The originally straight back also became bent overnight.If he knew that the real culprit who killed Ning Xu was right in front of him, what would happen?

Shen Man closed his eyes, remembering the scene when he returned to the Prime Minister's mansion, Ning Xiang looked at him without the slightest pity in his eyes.This is true for a granddaughter who has a blood relationship like himself, but for Lian Yi, Ning Xiang is afraid that he wants to tear the skin apart.

And she-

Shen Man's eyes rolled slowly, and settled on the graceful figure in the moon-white robe.

Why did she lie and say that Lian Yi was dead?

Incense burned to the end.

Lian Yi observed Hong Daoyi for a while, feeling bored, and looked back at the gate supervisor.The gate supervisor looked at her and nodded slightly.Lian Yi smiled easily.

At this time, Xiao Dezi next to the imperial concubine said, "Competitors are not allowed to communicate with the outsiders, otherwise they will be judged as losers." This is to avoid cheating considerations.But it is obviously aimed at Lian Yi, because the gate supervisor is here, and Lian Yi, who has the gate supervisor as the backing, if he wants to take a shortcut, it is the fastest to let the gate supervisor personally test it.

Qing Ning said unconvinced, "Ning Guifei really doesn't save any face today."

The gate supervisor thought for a while and said, "Let the female official of the Suanmen arrange the palace calendar carefully."

Qing Ning laughed out loud.

The gate supervisor really held grudges and was narrow-minded.This so-called "palace calendar" is the calendar for the arrangement of women's dormitories in the palace. It is usually arranged by the female officials of the Shumen according to the rank and special days of the concubines in the palace. If you want to be favored by the emperor, you must get closer Yin and Yang prison, especially the female officials of the Suanmen.

The gate supervisor generally doesn't care about such trivial matters, but occasionally he will use this to warn the harem concubine.

With such an order today, I am afraid that Concubine Ning Guifei will not see the emperor for a few times next month.Qing Ning silently took pity on Concubine Ning, who was so beautiful on stage.

On Hong Dao's side, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He tried all kinds of tricks on weekdays, but he didn't know what happened today, but he couldn't succeed anyway.Looking at the stars and moon reflected in the water, Hong Daoyi became more and more depressed.

The burning of incense was about to run out, and some of the guests yawned.Of the two people who are competing, one is sitting still with sweat on his face; the other is standing still, as if enjoying the night view.

Hong Dao glanced towards Ning Xiang, and Ning Xiang's eyes were sharp.Hong Dao had no choice but to use the next strategy.

"Report to the imperial concubine, the grass people have already figured out where Zhu Chai is."

"Oh?" the imperial concubine said, "Where is it?"

Hong Dao said, "The gate supervisor of Tianwenmen seems to have not calculated the result yet, should Caomin wait for her?"

The imperial concubine tapped the armrest of the chair with her knuckles, and said in a deep voice, "When the incense stick burns out, we will go to the place you calculated together to find it. If you find it, you win. If you don't find it, it's a draw."

"You don't need to wait for the imperial concubine," Lian Yi's eyes flashed when she stepped forward, "I have already found Zhu Chai."

"Then which one of you will come first?" the imperial concubine asked.

At this time, Qing Ning suggested in a loud voice, "Your concubine, if anyone is to tell Zhu Chai's location at this time, it would be unfair to the other party. I suggest that they write down the location, and then open it when they find Zhu Chai. Let's take a look." Who is the one who got hit?"

The imperial concubine nodded in satisfaction, expressing her consent.

Xiao Dezi collected the addresses of the two of them, let the imperial concubine look at them, and put them on the table. Two guards went to two places to look for Zhu Chai, while the rest of the guests waited in the inner courtyard.

Hong Daoyi and Qing Ning returned to Ning Xiang and the supervisor respectively.

Ning Xiang's face was livid, "Why, Master Hong couldn't figure out the exact whereabouts of Zhu Chai?"

Hong Dao wiped off his sweat and said, "I am incompetent, and I failed the Master's entrustment. But this time is really very strange. In the past, I have found things smaller than Zhu Chai without any problems, but this time, even the shadow I haven't even touched it, and there seems to be a force blocking me in the dark. Master Xiang, do you think it is the gate guarding her..."

"The old man has been staring at her, and neither she nor the people around her have left a step."

"That's really strange..." Hong Daoyi thought for a while, then sighed, "Fortunately, Xiangye found Zhu Chai early and told me where I was, otherwise I'm afraid it will not be so easy to pass the test today."

"If it wasn't for Xu'er's anger, the old man would not have made such a move."

Hong Daoyi can only say yes.

On the supervisor's side, Qing Ning and Lian Yi seemed to be distracted.

Qing Ning recalled the gate supervisor who disappeared from time to time in the past few days, and couldn't help but look at the maidservant on the stage.Sensing the gaze from this side, Shen Man also looked down.Lime showed a smile inexplicably, under half of the mask, there were two vortexes hanging there, sweetly.

A shadow flashed past Shen Man's mind, and he always felt that such a vortex seemed to be seen not long ago, where is it...

Lian Yi stood behind the main gate, and said unconvinced, "It's fine if you don't have a place to sit on the field, but you still don't have any when you come down. When will this banquet end?"

The gate supervisor said, "It will be over when you win."

Lian Yi snorted.

The two soldiers who went out to look for Zhu Chai came back soon, and everyone's attention was gathered here again.

The imperial concubine couldn't help asking, "Did you find it?"

One of the generals said, "Report to the imperial concubine, I have found a red hairpin." Then he took out a handkerchief wrapped in things from his bosom, and Xiao Dezi put it on the tray and gave it to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine opened the handkerchief, her eyes lit up and she said, "It's exactly this thing!"
