yellow door

After Hongyu sent the two of them out of the palace gate, Liu Shangyi, who had been standing by the side, stepped forward and said to the noble concubine, "Your Majesty, you should also relax. Your Highness is growing up, serious in his studies, upright in his affairs, and often grows up in front of saints." Seeing and hearing, the horizon is getting wider."

Concubine Xiao waved her hand, took the hollow gold-plated sachet from Liu Shangyi, put it under her nose and sniffed it, and then said: "I'm old, but I can play tricks with others, so let's talk about the usual Xiu, Bengong originally thought it was a good one, but listen to those things, the things that the queen mother rewarded, he can also give such a thing to use..."

Liu Shangyi smiled and put the tea brought by Lv Chang on the coffee table, then turned around and said with relief: "It's just a personal eunuch, and if the empress wants to dismiss it, she will dismiss it at any time. Why bother to get angry about this, but it is rare for His Highness to have someone he likes." Waiter, please spoil me more, it's all the stubbornness of children."

Concubine Xiao Gui nodded, and returned the sachet to Liu Shangyi, saying: "I don't know where he got those tempers, they don't smell good, they don't smell bad, they are more noble than ordinary royal descendants."

Liu Shangyi put the sachet in the sleeve first, and then raised her head and said: "Your Majesty said this, Your Highness has inherited the charm of the ancestors, so he is more refined than ordinary princes. Thinking about the whole harem, who can compare with it?" Empress, your family background is the 500-year family inheritance of the Xiao family. Although the empress is not a direct descendant, but to put it bluntly, the ancestors of the saints used to look at the Xiao family..."

"Liu Shangyi!"

Concubine Xiao Gui interrupted Liu Shangyi's unfinished sentence with a yell, and then looked at the green dress standing below her head, and then Fang said in a slow tone: "No matter how long the Xiao family has been passed down, no matter how long it is from the Zanying family, it is also the emperor's courtiers. The people of the Lie Dynasty must never say such disrespectful words in the palace from now on."

Seeing that Liu Shangyi was as calm as a cicada after being reprimanded by her own words, Concubine Xiao waved her hand, and only let her and Lu Chang go down.

Then there are the family members, her aunt did not become the queen back then, she herself was established as a concubine back then, the Liu family and the Zhu family that have been inherited for hundreds of years, when the emperor ascended the throne, all the families were copied.

If the Zanying family hadn't been painstakingly managed by several generations, and if there hadn't been wise men in the clan who had devoted their minds to it, who would know what the ending would be in the end?Although Liu Shangyi is a servant of the Xiao family, in the end, she still has little knowledge.

……

Wen Mu was beaten at Concubine Xiao's place, and when he came out of Feixia Hall, he was in a bad mood. He took Liu Sui'er and walked forward without speaking, until he approached a pine tree, but was suddenly caught A white shadow jumping down from the tree was startled.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the very favored cat in front of Concubine Xiao Gui-yu pendant, and then the tree shook again, Wen Mu raised his head, and saw a brown figure standing on the tree.

When the man saw that the people below saw him, he jumped up and jumped down.Wen Mu looked over, but he was a heroic boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Liu Sui'er, who was following Wen Mu, was about to step forward and scold him, but the young man knelt down on one knee, and said, "Gu Changting, the bodyguard of the inner court, kowtowed upon the fifth prince, but he didn't know that the prince was coming, what an offense, please forgive me."

Wen Mu was originally annoyed, but now that he was so suddenly shocked, his anger disappeared instantly. Looking at the boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was only a few years older than himself, but he was so tall from such a tall man. He jumped down from the tree, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. He couldn't help feeling a little fond of him immediately, and asked, "Is your name Gu Changting? Why didn't you jump off the tree when you weren't on duty?"

Gu Changting knelt down and replied: "Because the imperial concubine's cat ran up the tree and dared not come down, the people from Feixia Palace sent me to catch the cat."

Wen Mu nodded, and said: "Get up, you are not too old, you can already be on duty in the palace, you think you are very good at martial arts."

After Gu Changting got up, although he lowered his head, his posture was very upright. Even with his head lowered, he could still see the top of Wen Mu's head, and he didn't dare to bump into the nobleman. He only looked hard at the skirt of his clothes, Then he replied: "Chang Ting has been practicing martial arts with his master, and the master saw that Chang Ting's kung fu can still be used, so he recommended Chang Ting to be on duty in the palace."

"Then who is your master?" Wen Mu asked curiously.

"Master's name is Shangwei Xiafeng."

"It turned out to be him!" Wen Mu heard this, and only then did he know that this Gu Changting was actually the disciple of Wei Feng, the commander of the imperial guards and imperial guards.

Thinking of the imperial concubine saying that she would send more people to his palace, even though he rejected the palace servants, he was quite interested in this kind of young guards.After thinking for a while, he said to Gu Changting: "Seeing that you are very good at martial arts, it would be great to go to Zhaoyang Palace tomorrow to be on duty. There are very few guards your age in this palace, and I always feel a little bored on weekdays!"

Then Gu Changting didn't refuse, but said: "Thanks to the love of the fifth prince, Changting will do his best, but..."

"Then come to this palace tomorrow, and I will discuss other matters with others." Wen Mu interrupted him with a smile, the previous annoyance no longer appeared on his face.

This is probably the time when he is in the best mood from today to now.

But Chang Xiu led someone to receive the reward from the Zhonggong, and after returning to Zhaoyang Palace, he went back to Wushang Palace first, and when he went to find Wen Mu, he didn't see anyone in the palace, so he asked the eunuch on duty at the gate, and he only said yes The fifth prince was summoned by the imperial concubine, and he wanted to follow him to find him, but after he found out that the person next to the fifth prince was Liu Sui'er, he stopped again.After thinking for a while, he still went out, but it was no longer in the direction of Feixia Palace.

When Chang Xiu returned to Zhaoyang Hall, she ran into Liu Sui'er who was carrying a plate in the corridor again. Seeing him, Liu Sui'er first had a look of surprise, then put the plate into his hand, and then Pulled him around the corner again.

"Xiao Xiuzi, Xiao Xiuzi, I beg you to do something. You were not here just now, and your mother just sent someone to call for the master. The master couldn't find you, so she asked me where you were. I had to tell him that you went to the middle palace to get a Thank you, but I didn't dare to say that I forced my errand to you. If the master asks later, you should only take it for someone else, but don't say that I left it to you. !" Liu Sui'er clasped her hands together, as if begging the Bodhisattva to worship Buddha.

Seeing Liu Sui'er's expression, no matter how much Chang Xiuyuan had to say, she couldn't say it now, so she could only nod helplessly.

Seeing that he agreed, Liu Sui'er was happy again, and said: "I robbed you of carrying the plate earlier, if I pay you back now, I won't delay your work."

She was about to turn around and leave, when she suddenly remembered something, she moved her head closer to Chang Xiu, and said: "Today, the empress seems to be telling the master that our palace is short of manpower, and we are going to recruit new people. If you are free, ask the master about it." , but you must choose a few that are good-looking, fun and easy to get along with!"

Chang Xiu became more and more unruly when she heard what she said later, she only frowned slightly, and said: "Master's matter, we can't control it, whether we can enter or not, it has nothing to do with us, as long as we treat ourselves If things are done well, everything will be fine!"

Liu Sui'er heard this, but she pouted slightly, and said: "I know that Mr. Chang is the most respectful, and he is not interesting at all. Think about it, if a few interesting people come, there will be a lot of people in the palace." Is it lively? Forget it, I won’t tell you anymore, I’ll go talk to my aunt first.”

As she said that, without waiting for Chang Xiu to respond, she trotted away all the way, and Chang Xiu was the only one left standing in the corridor with a plate, looking at her back in a daze.

When Chang Xiu brought the tray into the room, she saw Wen Muzheng sitting alone at the table playing chess. When Wen Mu saw it was him, he opened his mouth and asked, "I haven't seen anyone all afternoon. Where did you go? You didn't make a sound." Greeting."

Chang Xiu put the tray in her hand aside, put a plate of preserved fruit on the table, and then said: "I went to the Central Palace to receive the reward for someone, and I didn't tell His Highness after thinking about it for a while, how could I know?" After returning home, His Highness was nowhere to be seen, and seeing that he was rarely free, he went to Eunuch Chang's place again."

After finishing speaking, a slight smile appeared on his face again: "Hanxiu is really rare to be able to have a few afternoons in a year."

After hearing this, Wen Mu grabbed his hand and rubbed it slowly.

"Your body is already cold, but it's only September, and you can't see the cold wind. After going out for an afternoon, you didn't see any sweat on your body, and your palms were cold."

Chang Xiu didn't withdraw her hand, she just let Wen Mu catch her, but said: "First you said there were mosquitoes, now you say it's cold, so His Highness said where to go."

Seeing that Mu only held his hand, and looked at him with a smile on his face, he said again: "I'm a slave, so I'm so delicate, it's just this nature, I just need to get used to it. Otherwise, in winter, Han Xiu also don't go out, just lie in bed."

After hearing this, Wen Mu finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "What's the happy event today? You can tell jokes to others. It's rare that you can open your mouth like this."

However, Chang Xiu withdrew her hands, patted her hands lightly on her face, and said: "So in the eyes of His Highness, Han Xiu is a person who can't even tell jokes, no wonder Liu Sui'er always Said that I only have one expression all day long."

Seeing that Chang Xiu was about to slap her face red, Wen Mu had no choice but to grab his hand again, amused and angrily said: "What are you doing listening to those nonsense she said, she has no expression, just slapping her face will make you feel angry." Is it? The singer has a lot of expressions, wouldn't his face be swollen?"

Chang Xiu listened, but the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a faint smile, and Bai Shengsheng's small face suddenly became lively: "No wonder master said Chang Xiu couldn't tell jokes, it turned out that master made too many jokes, so he also Don't take Hanxiu's joke as a joke."

Wen Mu only felt that Chang Xiu's expression today was very moving, so he also laughed and said: "If you like to hear it, master will tell you more jokes in the future."

After Chang Xiu heard this, she only had a slightly shy expression on her face, and she couldn't help but retract the hand that Wen Mu had been holding all this time.

Seeing him like this, Wen Mu just had a smile on his face, but after a while, he heard him ask suddenly: "I'm going to the middle palace today, did you see any movement over there?"

Chang Xiu didn't react at first, and followed up and said: "What's happening? The middle palace is full of joy, as if all the magpies have built their nests there."

Wen Mu pondered for a moment, and said: "I heard that the second brother has been walking very close to the Zhong Palace recently, and often goes in and out of the Kun'an Palace to greet the Queen."

Chang Xiu tilted her head, thought for a while, and then replied: "The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince have always been close, so it's not surprising that they often go to the Central Palace. I didn't see the two Highnesses when I went today, I was only there I found Eunuch An Hai, the chief eunuch of the Central Palace, and came back after receiving the things."

Wen Mu only blinked when he heard this, and then said: "That's true, I didn't expect you to hear something after a visit, so I asked more."

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed again, and said: "It's a pity that you didn't go to your mother's place today. When I came back, I met a very interesting man over there. He was not very old, but he was very good at martial arts." However, I have told him to come over here on duty tomorrow, and you will see him then."

Chang Xiu bent down and picked up a jade cup in the tray and handed it to Wen Mu, only chuckled and said, "Han Xiu also wants to see it quickly, the people His Highness likes are naturally excellent!"

After a pause, he continued: "I heard from Liu Sui'er that there are going to be recruits in the Zhaoyang Palace. Could it be that the person His Highness mentioned is one of them? Master, do you know who else will be recruited?"

Hearing Chang Xiu's words, Wen Mu glanced at him first, and then said: "That's not true, this person is my favorite, and it has nothing to do with what the empress said. This time, I won't invite any outsiders. It’s just that Rushun went out last time and needed someone to come in.”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Chang Xiu again, and said: "The people in the palace are so talkative, it's because the eunuch in charge didn't do a good job, and I wanted to replace Li Da just because the empress said she wanted to get in. But I thought about it later, the responsibility of the eunuch in charge can be great or small. At this moment, because of the appointment of the crown prince, the palace is in a panic. I'm afraid of you, and you already know his details, it's better to guard against him carefully than a new manager who doesn't know what's going on, so I didn't mention it to my mother."

As he spoke, he took another deep look at Chang Xiu, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and said, "Does Hanxiu understand what I mean?"

Chang Xiu only listened quietly to Wen Mu's words at first, but when he heard him ask this question, her face blushed immediately, and she couldn't help but lower her head.

"It's such a trivial matter, and the master is worried about it, so Hanxiu can save it."

In the end, the fifth prince was aware of the fact that he secretly put eye drops on Li Da.

"I'm not scolding you, what is this expression doing?" Seeing him like this, Wen Mu only smiled and pinched his face lightly with his hand.

"Since you don't like Li Da, it's not a foreign matter to let the master know. If you keep everything from me, then I will worry about it!"

Although Wen Mu didn't use much force, Chang Xiu's fair little face was still pressed by his fingerprint.Hearing what he said, Chang Xiu didn't answer, but lowered her head even lower.

Looking from Wen Mu's direction, the rice mole on the tip of his eyebrow seems to be getting redder.
