Chu Heng was wearing a blue floral cloth skirt, and his satin-like black hair was neatly tied behind his head, twisted into a single-screw bun, and a simple and unadorned wooden hairpin was inserted in the bun.Because she was making a move, her body naturally leaned forward slightly, revealing a delicate and white neck, and the sunlight passed through the lush branches of the trees and fell on Chu Heng, mottled with light and shadow, Chu Heng's whole person seemed to be rubbed into the painting.Ji Cheng stood on the top of the steps, looking down at Chu Heng, and his gaze fell on Chu Heng's neck.Chu Heng had a slender neck, a complexion as white as jade, and a thin hairline at the hairline, Ji Cheng only felt that the scene in front of him was really cute, and he was stunned for a while."
Back to the world, the slave saw the slave's father in the cell."
Chu Heng lowered her head and didn't look at Ji Cheng's eyes, so she didn't notice Ji Cheng's gaffe at the moment.Ji Cheng quickly came back to his senses, and his gaze drifted and fell on the single screw bun on Chu Heng's head, hiding the gaffe just now.After hearing Chu Heng's answer, Ji Cheng asked again: "Then what are you going out to do now?"
”"Last night in the cell, Chu Heng heard his father say that the queen mother is about to celebrate her birthday, and a while ago, his father has been looking for a birthday gift for the palace, and the gift he found is this ......"
Chu Heng took out the jade pendant hidden in his sleeve, put it in his hand, and showed it to Ji Cheng.This is a piece of fish-shaped jade pendant that is no more than the size of a palm, the jade is white like clotted fat, placed on the palm of the hand, warm and cold, Chu Heng looked at the jade in his hand, and introduced: "This jade is called the beauty of life, it was originally the first emperor's favorite concubine Xifei's thing, it is rumored that Concubine Xi relied on this thing to keep her face ageless, and the holy grace is tireless, four years ago after the death of the emperor, Concubine Xi also followed the martyrdom, and this beautiful life has disappeared since then, my father got this jade by chance, I wanted to give it to the eldest lady, but recently there have been a lot of things in the palace, and he has never found a chance, Seeing that the Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, my father didn't dare to delay, so he asked me to present this beautiful life to the eldest lady on his behalf. ”Chu Heng said it in one breath, the words were clear and clear, and his voice did not have the soft creeps of the girls nowadays, but it was crisp and clean, which made people feel comfortable listening to it."
You want to save your father with this?"
The corners of Ji Cheng's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Chu Heng with a soft light in his eyes."
Always give it a try.""
But if you go to the Furong Courtyard by yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the gate.""
The slave and maid will find a way, if they can't enter the Furong Courtyard, the slave and maid will wait at the gate of the courtyard until the eldest lady comes out."
Ji Cheng looked at the indomitable Chu Heng, and raised his eyebrows: "But what if this beauty can't save your father?"
”Chu Heng stood up straight, took Yu Peifu into his arms again, lowered his head and said respectfully to Ji Cheng: "Whether it is successful or not, you have to try it to know." ”When Ji Cheng heard this, his brows furrowed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.Chu Heng wondered why Ji Cheng was silent, so he looked up at Ji Cheng, looking at each other, Chu Heng was frightened by the sharp light in Ji Cheng's eyes and took half a step back."
Lord Shizi, but what did the slave do wrong?"
Chu Heng was a little apprehensive, she really couldn't figure out why Ji Cheng looked at herself with a gaze that looked like a sharp blade, as if he wanted to disembowel himself and take out all the internal organs and count them.Ji Cheng didn't answer Chu Heng's words, but left Chu Heng and turned around and strode back to the study, leaving Chu Heng stunned for a while, neither to leave nor to stay.But half an hour later, the second son, Ji Chen, walked out of the study, he looked sad, only glanced at Chu Heng with his spare eyes, and seemed to be very reluctant to say: "Come with me, I'll take you to see my mother." ”Chu Heng hurriedly bent down and thanked the second son.Ji Chen took the lead out of Qingyan Pavilion, Chu Heng hurriedly followed up, and when he left the courtyard, Chu Heng glanced at the door of the study, she subconsciously wanted to go to see the prince Ji Cheng, but she accidentally bumped into Meng Qing's resentful gaze.Chu Heng frowned, turned around and continued to follow behind Ji Chen, and the two walked along the path towards Furong Courtyard.This part of the road is not too far, but they met a lot of maids, and everyone was in a hurry, most of them holding trays in their hands, and most of them were white silk and other things."
Is the house preparing for the funeral of the eldest prince?"
Chu Heng took a few steps and walked to the side of the second son."
Didn't you ask knowingly?"
Ji Chen's tone was very impulsive.Being picked up by Ji Chen, Chu Heng secretly rolled her eyes, she originally wanted to find a topic to break the silence between herself and the second son, and after getting acquainted with the second son, she begged the second son to help her persuade the eldest lady to let Chu Sanye go.But now, the second son has just been trained by the prince, which will make him obviously in a very bad mood, Chu Heng is a little worried that he will go with him to see the eldest lady, will it affect the eldest lady's mood in vain, and mess up the things that could have been done......
The two arrived at Furong Courtyard, and with the escort of the second son, Chu Heng easily arrived outside the eldest lady's house.The eldest lady was resting indoors, and there was only a second-class maid guarding the door, but there was no shadow of Fubai."
At this hour, my mother should also wake up, go and talk to my mother, and say that I came to see her."
Ji Chen waved his hand at the maid guarding the door and motioned for her to enter the house.The maid nodded, turned around and was just about to enter the house to make a report, when she heard a messy and floating footsteps coming from the direction of the gate of the Furong Courtyard.The little maid was stunned for a moment, tiptoed to look at the gate, and saw Fubai, who was wearing a white shirt, running in a hurry to this side."
Sister Fubai, what's wrong with you?"
The little maid was startled, and forgot the second son's instructions for a while, turned around and went down the steps to greet Fubai, and reminded Fubai in a low voice: "Sister Fubai, the second son is here." ”Fu Bai stopped when he heard this, and saw the second son in the direction of the little maid's eyes.Fubai hurriedly straightened his sleeves, checked whether his hair was messy, and then took two steps to the front of the second son, Ji Chen, and said to Ji Chen: "The slave doesn't know that the second son is here, it's rude." ”"Where did you come back from in such a hurry?"
The second son's eyebrows were raised, and his face was full of irritability."
Back to the second son, because the house wants to handle the funeral of the eldest son, the day before yesterday in the silk village ordered a batch of white satin, this morning the boss of the silk village came to the door with satin, and yesterday the house because of the fire warning in the Buddhist hall, the door has been closed, the slave maid led people out to collect the satin into the house, but I didn't expect ......"
"What happened?""
I didn't expect ......"
Fubai bit her lip and looked up at the second son: "After the satin delivery was completed, the slave maid saw that there were many people outside the mansion, because it was strange why they were talking about the vine king's mansion, and the slave maid stepped forward to ask, who would have thought that they would be surrounded by them, and kept asking the slave maid, about the matter of the heavenly fire in the Buddha hall yesterday......"
"What did you say?"
”The second son was suddenly shocked: "You say it again!"
”"What the slave said is true, and now the entire Fujicheng community knows about the two heavenly fire warnings in the Wangfu Buddha Hall last night."
Fu Bai's eyes widened, and her eyes were full of surprise: "The slave is so strange, the palace will immediately block the door of the palace after the fire tomorrow, but why did this news spread so quickly, and the whole Fujicheng knew about it overnight, and this morning, there were onlookers blocking the palace on all sides......"
