Crossing the East Palace

The person Fu Gui asked was naturally the person the Queen had arranged for Tang Luojin.

It's just that Tang Luojin's side, except for two nurses, two second-class maids and Aunt Yu, the rest of the palace people who were close to him were selected by Emperor Tianyuan, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager early on, and the Empress had to arrange a few in the end. A rough envoy was by Tang Luojin's side.

What Fugui is asking now is only a little eunuch sweeping the floor in Tang Luojin's courtyard.

When the little eunuch saw Fu Gui asked, he made a bitter face, glanced around quietly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the rules here are strict, and the younger ones dare not say anything. I can only tell the girl that the little song is I wanted to die and wanted to please His Highness, but in the end I got a bad cricket to trick His Highness into being a general in the cricket. His Highness got angry, so he just dealt with Xiaoqu. I still called all the palace people here , was executed in front of all the palace people."

Hearing this, Fu Gui didn't think much about it - children are always playful, and it is possible that they will be killed because the slave deliberately lied to him.

Besides, Xiaoquzi is just a small chess piece randomly arranged by the queen, what Fugui wants to ask more is about Aunt Yu's death.

"Then Aunt Yu used to be the most embarrassing person by the empress's side. If it wasn't for the empress who valued her little Highness, how could she be willing to send Miss Yu away from her and send her to her side?" Fugui said, "His Highness died with a stick. It's understandable, but Aunt Yu has always been rigorous and upright, how could she make such a mistake that His Highness needs to beat to death?"

The little eunuch gave Fu Gui a weird look: "Miss misunderstood. His Highness killed Xiaoquzi. But Aunt Yu, her life was unlucky. Ever since I found out from His Highness that my niece had passed away due to a cold, the two After the little nephew was abducted by kidnappers, he began to get sick. His Highness respected his aunt, and let his aunt be raised in His Highness’s yard for a while. Later, he saw that he couldn’t raise him well, so he moved to the servant’s yard. The aunt was raised in the servant’s yard. After a few days, apart from lack of energy, the illness has improved a bit. The doctor invited by His Highness said that Auntie will be able to get out of bed after half a month. How do you know that Auntie's life is not good? The girl also knows that she accidentally walked into the water during the day. In broad daylight, how many young people are there in the servant's yard? Several old people and children escaped by themselves, but they have no ability to save Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu herself is dead again. Fatigue, after a big fire, won’t it be gone?”

The little eunuch was also quite embarrassed by this.One must know that in a position like Aunt Yu's, the honor of being valued by the master is beyond his reach in this life.But even if Aunt Yu, the master of the slaves, ended up in a fire, she disappeared so quietly.Even if His Highness is kind, Tete gave her face and went to see her grave in person, but death is death, and there will be no benefits.

Fugui paused for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Was it a coincidence that time he went into the water?"

The little eunuch whispered: "That's what it said. However, I heard that after the flood that day, Xin Guogong dealt with a few people who brought dry firewood to us. I heard that the big eunuch above was drunk He drank the wine and said that His Highness was here because there was a traitor, and he wanted to burn His Highness down, but he didn't expect that our servant's courtyard was built so luxuriously, so he burned down the servant's courtyard by mistake, and that's why..."

This made the little eunuch even more embarrassed.This is really bad luck for my aunt.When is it not good to be sick, but when you are sick, won't you be treated by Lord Yan?

Fugui still didn't believe it, he waved his hand and let the little eunuch go down, and quietly searched for two or three people arranged by the empress, but the result of the question was almost the same.It's just that among these few, only one, like the previous eunuch, knew the "why" of the fire, and the rest of them just said that it happened to be a disaster.

Fugui still had some doubts in his heart.

But it is useless to doubt, Aunt Yu is already "dead", Xiao Quzi was killed by a stick, and the other nurses arranged by the two empresses who can get close to Tang Luojin, and because Tang Luojin is very young, she is quite assertive. Tang Luojin refused to breastfeed at the age of one and only saw Tang Luojin occasionally, so she couldn't get close to Tang Luojin at all.As for the others, they don't even know about Xiaotang Luojin's personal affairs.

Fugui didn't notice anything at first, but now when he thinks about the things around Tang Luojin, he suddenly feels something is wrong.

If Tang Luojin is the queen's own son, the queen still wants to place people beside her own son; now that the queen knows that Tang Luojin is her temporary "non-biological son", why won't she put people beside him?

In the past, Aunt Yu was by Tang Luojin's side, so the Queen naturally looked down on other servants, and most of the news was passed on by Aunt Yu; now that Aunt Yu "died", she died by drowning, and the Queen couldn't decide what to do. angry.When the time comes, I'm afraid they will have to send someone to Tang Luojin's side to take care of her.

Fugui's heart tightened.She knew the queen's ability, and the queen was the biological mother of King Zhao on the surface. King Zhao was young, and it was time to get close to his mother. If the queen wanted King Zhao's life, King Zhao would not be able to avoid it no matter what.However, King Zhao is the son of a dragon and the grandson of a phoenix after all, even if the cause of death is borne by others, those who serve King Zhao personally will not survive no matter what.

Now that Aunt Yu is dead, Wujuan and Yanchen are serving the sixth and seventh princesses respectively. If the queen orders her to "serve" King Zhao, what should she do?

Fu Gui really thought too much.

She originally thought that she should avoid Tang Luojin a bit, and if the empress asked her to serve Tang Luojin, she would say that Tang Luojin didn't like her, so as to escape the disaster.But after staying in Fujian for a few days, Tang Luojin saw her only once, so he asked her to give her a banknote to buy some Fujian specialties, such as various kinds of porcelain, silk, tea and so on.

Fugui heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but Tang Luojin didn't care about her at all.

He even disposed of Aunt Yu sent by the queen, so would he still be afraid of a Fugui?

It's just that he has something to do now, so he sent Fugui away first, and then walked up to the Baifo Temple a few times by himself, the Master Zhishan seemed to be afraid of him, and hid, not seeing him at all.

Tang Luojin went back a few times with a dark face, knowing that the old monk had lied to him, she didn't dare to see him anymore, and even said such words as "the day of his death", she didn't go any further. Go up the mountain, but stay at the foot of the mountain, or read and write, or go to the city.

Because they are about to return to Chang'an, Ning Junchi is older than Tang Luojin, and has complicated things to take care of. He also has to socialize with some high-ranking officials in Fujian who cannot be dismissed, so he is too busy to touch the ground, and has no time to take care of Tang Luo Jin's whereabouts.

It was also at this time that Tang Luojin met Ze Lan's younger siblings - Shi Yuan and Shi Mei.

Shi Meiren, as her name suggests, has a handsome appearance and a natural charm. If it weren't for the determination in her eyes, an ordinary man would inevitably break his bones when he saw her.

Tang Luojin didn't pay much attention to Shi Mei's appearance at the beginning, but when she saw it now, she frowned slightly.

He really wanted to bring Shi Mei to the palace, but Shi Mei's appearance...

"Since you want to enter the palace with the king, you should know the rules of the king."

Shi Mei lowered her head and said: "But follow His Highness's orders, I dare not obey."

"Loyalty is paramount. You can tell me what you want, whoever you want to marry. If you are loyal, this king may not refuse to answer you. But," Tang Luojin paused, and said, "I will serve you personally. Your daughter must not be a concubine, do you remember? If you follow this king, you will have a different heart and become someone else's concubine... This king will definitely not forgive you!"

Shi Mei's eyes turned red, she suddenly raised her face, and swore resolutely: "Shi Mei is determined to be as His Highness said, loyal to the Lord, and will never be a concubine in this life, humiliating His Highness's face! If you break this oath, Shi Mei will live forever, ugly Without salt!"

This oath is a heavy oath for both men and women.After Tang Luojin heard this, she waved her hand and said, "In ten days, the king will leave for Chang'an. You go back and say goodbye to your parents and family. Before April [-]th, go to the other courtyard to find your sister and ask your sister to arrange for you. That's it."

Shi Mei bowed her head and went out with red eyes.

Only Tang Luojin and Shi Yuan were left in the room.

Shi Yuan is currently dressed in a greasy hair and pink face, a brocade attire, a white jade pendant on his waist, a green jade hairpin on his head, and a heavy purse, giving him a rather dandy look.

Tang Luojin took a look at Shi Yuan and was satisfied.

Shi Yuan was also clever, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness ordered the younger one to do everything. The three aunts and nephews are all put together. The two younger ones are only less than ten years old now. During the day, I work with the steward of the yard, and only go back to live with their aunt at night. There are also things about the school, and the younger one has found a wife. It's just that your highness, the younger one's reputation is not good now, Why do you have to build a school for nothing and let the students study there for nothing?"

Tang Luojin didn't answer him, but said: "The three aunts and nephews, let's lock them up for a while now. I think Yugu will find a way to make her two nephews calm down. As for the school," Tang Luojin paused After a pause, he said, "Go ahead and do it. If you do it well, a year later, build a girls' school, find female masters, and let girls under the age of 12 come to study for free to learn female workers or other skills."

Shi Yuan was dumbfounded, and said: "Re, do you want to take a girl?"

Tang Luojin glared at him, and said, "It's a girls' school. It's separate from the current school, and it needs to be arranged properly. In the girls' school, men no matter how old they are are not allowed to enter. As for how to do it... you will write it when the time comes." The regulations are here, I will discuss after reading them."

Shi Yuan's face was bitter, and he didn't understand Tang Luojin's meaning.

Tang Luojin said again: "There is also the matter of the imperial examination. Let's not mention the matter of being a Jinshi for the time being. You must pass the exam within three years for the merits of the people."

Shi Yuan's face could only be more bitter.But he is not a person who does not know good and bad, he knows that he has no fame, and it is not convenient for King Zhao to use him. King Zhao urged him like this, and it was for his own good, so he agreed immediately.

Tang Luojin met the brothers and sisters of the Shi family, and also met the Shanzhang of Fujian Qianyao Academy, brought the Shanzhang's seven-year-old grandson Ye Linying back to the other courtyard, and took in many people who had met or never met in Fujian. Li, started to set off, went to Chang'an.

Tang Luojin's family letter written three days before departure was delivered to Emperor Tianyuan and the Empress respectively. Emperor Tianyuan cared about his son and read the letter early in the morning; the Empress read the letter at night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the letter was read, Wujuan and Yanchen rushed over: "Mother, it's not good, the two little princesses have not only diarrhea, but also developed a high fever, please hurry up and call the imperial physician over!"

The queen put down the letter, and was playing with a small mutton fat jade bracelet, intending to send the jade bracelet to the nunnery for the fifth princess who was "practicing". Hearing this, her heart skipped a beat. With a "snap", it fell to the ground.
