If you want to enter the palace, you must first leave the palace

From the moment Beijuese walked into the birthday hall, a group of curious princes and ministers, harem beauties, and imperial wives kept their eyes on him, and at the same time whispered to the people next to him.

There was only one exception, and that was Prince Qian who proposed to the empress dowagers to call in Bei Jue Se.When he saw Bei Jue Se walk in, he closed his eyes after just one look, and leaned back on the chair.Prince Qian's face was so calm that there was no change, but in fact, his heart had experienced a series of changes such as "accident", "joy", "expectation" and "disappointment" in just a short moment.The familiar purple peony on the birthday picture should have come from "his" hand, so he found a reason to propose to summon the person who embroidered the picture.However, what appeared in front of him was not the figure that haunted him.

Disappointed, disappointed again.However, Prince Qian, who had long become a habit of disappointment, quickly suppressed the disappointment in his heart.Only "he" can embroider the unique purple peony, but now there is a young eunuch who can embroider the same purple peony. something related.Lord Qian opened his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled slightly, then looked at Bei Jue Se again.This time, he happened to see Bei Jue Se raise his face, and Prince Qian stared at the somewhat familiar face, startled for a moment.He thought for a while, and finally thought about where he had seen a "Jianghu Reward Order" a few days ago, and the person on the reward order was [-]% similar to the little eunuch in front of him.

Of course, Bei Jue Se didn't notice what happened around him.As soon as he came in, he was shocked several times by the fact that the "wine thief" Xiaoyin was the current emperor who was often worshiped by a group of eunuchs in the Agricultural Academy—the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun. thing?When he was so flustered that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he was about to lower his head guiltyly, he saw an unbelievably friendly smile on the face of the aloof emperor!

Intuition told Bei Juese that the evil thief who stole wine, uh, no, it was the friendly smile of the great and wise emperor, which was actually to cover up these unnoticed evils.

I don't know what will happen next. The current situation is like the fat meat on the chopping board that is waiting to be slaughtered. I can only apply what I have learned to face the situation with the method that Congtou once taught: keep silent and stay the same. Should change.

Like the emperor Zhu Yijun, the eyes of the two empress dowagers never moved away from Bei Juesei's face.After a while, Empress Dowager Cisheng came back to her senses and whispered to Empress Dowager Rensheng: "Sister, do you think this little eunuch looks like Princess Yuehua?"

Empress Dowager Rensheng nodded, and replied softly: "It is very similar."

Zhu Yijun, who was desperately showing a friendly smile to Bei Juese and keeping his eyes fixed on him, could still listen to what the two empress dowagers said with all his heart.He quickly turned his head and asked: "Mother, Queen Mother, who is Princess Yuehua?"

The two empress dowagers did not answer his words.

Empress Dowager Rensheng waved to the beautiful young woman who was holding a little girl among the concubines and wives, and said, "Concubine Yun, come and have a look at this little eunuch."

The astonishment on the face of the beautiful young woman known as "Concubine Yun" has long since dissipated.She put the little girl in her arms on the chair, and walked forward slowly with lotus steps.She turned around Bei Jue Se, and finally stood in front of him, looking him from head to toe with a pair of water-like calm eyes.

Looking at it, Concubine Yun suddenly stretched out her hands to cup Bei Jue Se's face, and even brought the face that was completely natural and beautiful without makeup very close.

Although Bei Juese was taken aback by her abrupt behavior, but he couldn't push her hand away in front of everyone, so he had to let her fiddle with it.

For a moment, a strange light disturbed the calmness in Concubine Yun's eyes. She let go of Bei Jue-se's face, turned her head and said to the two empress dowagers in a slightly excited tone: "It's so alike! Not only the likeness, but also the empress dowagers. It's exactly the same as Sister Yuehua!"

The Empress Dowager Cisheng nodded and said, "That's right, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there would be someone who looks so similar in this world."

Empress Dowager Rensheng continued: "Just now I thought I saw Princess Yuehua!"

elephant?like who?Princess Yuehua?Who is Princess Yuehua?Listening to the conversation between the two empress dowagers and Concubine Yun, Bei Juese raised his head involuntarily, and looked at the three of them with puzzled eyes.

On behalf of Bei Jue Se, Zhu Yijun asked the question in his heart: "Mother, Queen Mother, who is Princess Yuehua?"

The Empress Dowager Cisheng said: "In terms of seniority, Princess Yuehua is your cousin." After saying this, she ignored Zhu Yijun and asked Bei Juese: "Your name is Xiaobei?"

Bei Jue Se nodded cautiously.

Empress Dowager Rensheng, who saw his restraint and uneasiness, smiled and said, "Xiaobei, don't be nervous, just treat it as gossip."

"Yes." Although Empress Dowager Rensheng said so, Bei Juese, who was still uneasy in his heart, still lowered his head.He was summoned for no reason to be watched by a large group of people, and after he came in, the top leader did not mention the reason for summoning him at all, but only discussed the topic of who he looked like.In this situation, can people not be nervous?

"Where are you from? How old are you?" The Empress Dowager Cisheng then asked.

"I... my slave is from Taiyuan, seventeen this year." Bei Juese replied with his head down.

Empress Dowager Rensheng thought for a moment, and said: "Renshi from Taiyuan, 17 years old... Jiajing 42 years," she looked at Concubine Yun, "The Yuehua princess incident happened in Jiajing 43 years, right?"

Concubine Yun nodded, with a sad expression on her face, and said, "Yes, it was the summer of that year."

Empress Dowager Rensheng said: "In this way, this little eunuch just happens to look exactly like Princess Yuehua."

"It can't be a coincidence!" Concubine Yun exclaimed excitedly regardless of her identity, she grabbed Bei Juese's arms tightly, "Did you remember the date of birth wrongly? Sister Yuehua was eight months pregnant back then, when we When we found her, the child in her stomach was gone, so you must be her child!"

Bei Juese was confused by Concubine Yun's inexplicable actions and words, while trying to push Concubine Yun's hand away, he said anxiously: "You've got the wrong person, I, I don't know Princess Yuehua .”

The Empress Dowager Cisheng spoke out to stop Concubine Yun's disrespectful behavior: "Concubine Yun, today is the birthday of Empress Dowager Rensheng, don't talk about old things about this auspicious day."

Concubine Yun realized her impoliteness, she quickly let go of Bei Juese's arm, turned around and knelt down, and said to the two empress dowagers and the emperor, "I'm sorry, Concubine Yun was agitated at the moment. I am rude in front of you, please punish the emperor and empress dowager."

Empress Dowager Rensheng smiled tolerantly, and said: "Concubine Yun and Princess Yuehua have such an abnormal behavior because of their deep affection. How can the Ai family punish you? Concubine Yun, don't worry, go back to your seat. "

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Concubine Yun stood up and walked towards her seat sullenly. When she passed by Bei Juse, her steps slowed down, and her gaze stayed on Bei Juse for a while. He had a hesitant expression, but in the end he walked away without saying anything.

At the same time, the Merciful Empress Dowager, who didn't want to continue to entangle with Princess Yuehua, issued a decree to solve the problem: "Xiaobei of the Farming Institute has excellent embroidery skills, and now rewards him with ten taels of silver."

Finally figuring out the purpose of the summons, Bei Juese hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

The Empress Dowager Cisheng then said, "You can step down now."

Having been in this place for so long, Bei Juese felt that the words that the Empress Dowager Cisheng said at this moment were the most beautiful.He excitedly said a word from his heart: "Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Then, he bent over and walked backwards out of the birthday hall with the bag of reward silver.

Walking out of the birthday hall, Bei Juese couldn't help but let out a long breath.He raised his sleeves to wipe away the beads of sweat that appeared on his forehead at an unknown time. He was so nervous inside that he didn't even realize that he was sweating. Only after he came out did he realize that the clothes behind him were all wet with sweat.It's better to leave this place quickly, as soon as I think of the friendly smile on the emperor's face, I can't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Just as Bei Juese left the birthday hall, the unfinished birthday ceremony continued lively. In this lively atmosphere, few people noticed that Prince Qian walked out of the birthday hall. Even if someone noticed, they would only think that he was going to Just go to the toilet.

Of course, Prince Qian didn't go to the toilet, he went to chase someone.chasing who?It is the Beijue who can embroider the unique purple peony.

Bei Juese stopped not far from the main hall where the birthday hall was located. Just now, he followed Zhang Cheng all the way and didn't pay attention to the road. Now he doesn't know how to go back. out of place.He politely asked a busy eunuch for directions, but he only asked the words "Excuse me, the Agricultural Institute". Waiting places, as a senior eunuch, how can I know how to get there? Go ask someone else!"

Bei Juese, who was not hit, continued to question several eunuchs and maids in succession. The experience was basically the same, and he was blocked back before he could finish the question.Depressed, he still doesn't know that this is a place where high-ranking eunuchs and palace maids gather. For those palace people who think they are superior, the Agricultural Academy is such a low-level place. Something about that lowly place or person.

After asking for a while, no one was willing to show me the way, so Bei Juese had no choice but to walk back to the Farming Institute by instinct.

"Xiao Bei!"

When he took the first step, someone called him from behind.

Turning around, I saw a strange man who was dressed richly and was over fifty years old.Bei Juese looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Prince Qian." The strange man replied with a smile, then lowered his voice and went straight to the point, "I have something to ask you. It's not convenient to speak here, please come here."
