The Golden Hairpin

Huang Zixia followed Li Shubai into the car and returned to the palace of Kui. Li Shubai was silent all the way, neither speaking nor looking at her. Huang Zixia felt a lot of pressure, and could only bite the bullet and sit on a low stool, guessing whether he or someone else had offended the uncle. If it is someone else, why does he show this face to himself? If it’s me, what is the reason for the offense...

While she was thinking, the uncle covered by the dark clouds finally spoke: "What can I do for you?"

"Huh?" Huang Zixia felt a little bit in her heart. She naturally didn't dare to say that it was Zhang Xingying's affairs, so she hurriedly said, "It's... a trivial matter, so I didn't dare to drive the prince of labor. I only discussed it with Zhou Ziqin. Since he can help me solve it. So I won’t alarm the prince."

Li Shubai saw her look that didn't intend to tell him at all, so he said coldly: "It's okay, anyway, I don't have the spare time to bother you."

Huang Zixian breathed a sigh of relief, and clearly felt his displeasure again, so she strained her nerves and waited for him to say something.

Unexpectedly, he never spoke again along the way, only flipping through the official documents on the small table. He was extremely fast, with ten lines in his eyes, and the sound of turning the pages of the book rustled slightly, really not even interested in raising his eyelashes and glancing at her.

When Huang Zixian breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the alien scripts on it, and felt that it should be Tubo script, and couldn't help but awe.

It was like sitting on pins and felt all the way until the middle of the palace. When I got off the bus, Jing Yu Jingxu was already greeted at the door, waiting for instructions.

"Call Jing Yi over." He just dropped a sentence like this, and then went straight to Yubing Pavilion.

Huang Zixian breathed a sigh of relief. He tiptoed back a few steps, ready to go back to his residence. Who knows that Li Shubai seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and he didn't even look back, leaving only two words, "Come on."

She looked around and found that he should be calling herself, so she squeezed the sweat from her palms and followed it, while silently reading in her heart, Huang Zixia, Huang Zixia, since you have chosen this difficult lord, you can only do it anyway. Follow him, come and go, as long as he gives an order, follow him!

Jing Yu settled down in the morning. The Yubing Pavilion was full of tea and snacks. The incense curls rose from the stove, and the thin bamboo silk curtains were put down to cover most of the outside sunlight.

Li Shubai washed his hands in the golden basin held by the maid, and then took the white linen towel and wiped his hands. His movements were slow and he could not see any emotions. Huang Zixian stood by, waiting for Li Shubai to review the official document.

After Jing Yi finally came over, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she couldn't bear this kind of pressure alone.

"How long has Yang Chonggu been here?" Li Shubai asked straightaway.

Jing Yi answered without hesitation: "It's been thirty-seven days, more than a month."

"Yueyin hasn't been sent yet?"

"As usual, the Fuzhong pays fifteen salary. The last time he paid monthly silver, because he had just arrived, he only gave two or two happy silver."

Seeing Xi Yin, Huang Zixian naturally followed the usual practice and invited two tables of wine to get acquainted with Fuzhong, and she had already spent nothing left. She didn't understand this kind of favor, and she couldn't understand it. Huang Zixian reluctantly slandered in her heart. It was not easy to be a young **** in the palace. Although she was given food, housing and clothing, after she escaped from Shu, she originally knocked the golden hairpin in exchange for some money to make up for the travel expenses to Beijing. As a result, the little money left was also lost when he was kicked off the lotus pond, otherwise she would always eat other people's meals when she went out? It is her limit to buy a bowl of soup and cakes to eat!

Jing Yi said: "I was about to ask the prince to show me how to determine Yang Chonggu's rank in the mansion?"

Here, I'm talking about my treatment! Huang Zi Xia suddenly felt a little excitement in her heart. Since she was a child, she has never lost money, because her parents will give pocket money every three or five years, and she will also be a rich woman when she saves up. But she still envied her elder brother, yamen's servants, and arrested them quickly. Because at that time she was a woman. She helped Yamen solve many mysteries, but she still couldn't be one of them, she couldn't get the money on time, collect money on a monthly basis, and become a fixed organization in an orderly operation organization. And now, she has finally become an **** who has a stable career, can support herself without relying on her family and husband in this life, and can receive a monthly salary... an eunuch. Although it's not very nice, but the **** can also...can be counted as an official?

Li Shubai moved his gaze slightly away from the official document, and glanced at Huang Zixian seemingly. Huang Zixian clearly saw a trace of schadenfreude in his eyes, "I have waited for a long time to finally let me wait for this opportunity".

An ominous omen suddenly rose in her heart.

Just listen to Li Shubai said: "The king's residence always pays attention to fairness and fairness. Otherwise, what's the use of the rules of the palace?"

Jing Yi nodded and said, "What the prince said. Then, Yang Chonggu is tentatively designated as the last eunuch, and all the daily supplements are as usual. After the year, he will see his performance and promotion."

"Accurate." Li Shubai downplayed, as if he was standing upright and just taking the opinions of others.

An unknown premonition suddenly rose in Huang Zixian's heart, and she couldn't help but ask Jing Yi: "Excuse me, Grandpa Yi, what is the treatment of the eunuchs in the palace?"

Jing Yi looked at her, showing sympathy, but did not speak.

Li Shubai instructed the official document before the case, without raising his head, and said in a calm voice: "First, the last **** must not interrupt, speak up, or ask questions without the permission of others. Offenders will deduct a monthly salary of one month. Second, the treatment of the last **** is in Article 31 of the fourth part of the Royal Palace Law. Since you don’t know it, you can see that I ordered you to bear the Royal Palace Law but you failed to do it. The eunuchs of the palace are not allowed to give or receive personal relationships with outsiders, and offenders are fined for one year."

Jing Yi looked at her more sympathetically, expressing that she couldn't help her for losing sixteen months of salary in a word.

Huang Zixian was dumbfounded.

For the first time, she made up her mind to give up everything to take refuge in the person in front of her and was greatly shaken!

This domineering master who deceives others will be rewarded, and he is definitely not a good master!

The atmosphere in Yubing Pavilion became more solemn.

Jing Yi retire wisely.

Huang Zixia spread his hand towards Li Shubai: "Give me the half silver ingot."

Li Shubai raised his eyes to look at her: "What clues did you find?"

"No," she said stiffly, "I am penniless, and I can't eat a bowl of soup when I am too poor to investigate the case. If I faint on the street, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to serve the prince. In addition, I will be hungry. I’m thinking about it, I can’t investigate and push the case. So in order to solve the case as soon as possible, I decided to spend the evidence."

Li Shubai looked at her, the corners of his lips curled slightly, like a smile. He slowly opened the drawer, took out a small sign from it, and threw it on the table: "Take this one."

Huang Zixian picked it up and found that it was a small golden order, half the size of a palm. The front of the token is full of Kui patterns, and the four characters of Tang Kui Wang are engraved in the positive text. On the reverse side, there are two large characters made by Fengtian Emperor, and cast with the seal of the Emperor’s Treasure and the words “Inner Court Fengzhao Imperial System”.

Huang Zixian pinched with three fingers and looked at Li Shubai suspiciously.

Li Shubai only continued to look down at the official document, and said faintly: "There is only one letter in the world, and it is common to all Yamen prefectures. It is very troublesome to preserve it carefully."

"Hey?" Huang Zixia was still a little hesitant, not knowing his intentions.

Seeing her still puzzled, he raised his voice slightly, and said, "You are the person next to me. If you encounter anything in the future, you are not allowed to ask others for help. Is there anything in this world that I can't settle for you? ?"

Huang Zi Xia looked at his drooping face, and there was no trace of emotion revealed on that calm face. The sound of ice hitting Yuzhen didn’t ripple at all, and Qingya Gaohua’s breath was never disturbed. It was clearly the Kui Wang Li Shubai she was familiar with, but in the Yubing Pavilion at this time, the sun was sifted into strands of golden thread by the bamboo curtain of the Concubine Xiang. In the sound of cicadas from far and near, in the strange fluctuating warmth of her heart at this time, it seemed to be different.

Maybe she stood still for a long time, and he finally looked up at her. Before she had time to speak, she loosened her hand, and the golden order slipped off, and dinged lightly on the green brick floor, breaking the silence at this time.

She squatted down and picked it up quickly, taking a deep breath, and stood up tremblingly.

Li Shubai looked at her and asked: "Why, not satisfied?"

"No, no, I'm just... flattered." The light pink on her jade-white cheeks is like a hazy color when looking at a peach blossom through a curtain.

He stared at her for a long time, feeling that the official document in his hand was irritable and tasteless. He put down the stack of paper in his hand, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the sky outside.

The sky is endless, and the sky is as blue as blue. A few clouds are as light as gauze, faintly smeared in the air, so low that they are almost within reach.

He suddenly felt in a daze that this cloud had also been smeared in his always empty life. Just like a clear and clear young girl in a clear sky in May, she suddenly broke into his fate one day in a posture that was caught off guard.

From then on, whether it's relative or entangled-but in his life, it's better to go in the opposite direction and forget about each other.

He raised his hand, as if the May sky outside was too bright at this time, stinging his eyes. He turned around, looked at Huang Zixia in front of him behind the sun, and said, "This letter is temporarily lent to you, and I will talk about it when the case is over."

Huang Zixia nodded in response, looked at the Jin Ling in his hand again with a bitter face, and asked carefully: "Master, can you ask me something?"

He looked at her.

"Um... the big and small restaurants in the capital, the traffickers and pawns, do ordinary people know this king Kui Lingxin?"

He questioned from his nose: "Huh?"

"That's... I mean..." She hesitated for a long time with an unspeakable expression on her face, but after all she asked, "Can you go to the butcher's stall of the bistro in the capital... on credit?"

As soon as this statement came out, even people like Li Shubai couldn't help but twitch. He glared at her, expressing his unwillingness to discuss this vulgar problem with her again, turned around and sat down on the low couch next to him, pointing to the other side.

Huang Zixia obediently knelt down in front of him—the ruthless role that deducted her sixteen months' salary in three sentences, couldn't she be obedient?

He poured himself a cup of tea and slowly said: "What I want to say next is of great importance, so I didn't say it before Zhou Ziqin. But I think if you want to investigate this case, you must know- There must be a huge connection between this matter and this case."
