Wen Family Has a Wife

As night fell, the glazed palace lanterns were lit up, and the deep and quiet palace seemed to be injected with some warmth, and the number of people on the corridor gradually increased.

Qi Zixi completely forgot about the little episode at noon, and lowered his head to write quickly on two pieces of paper, while the other four people stared unblinkingly at all the people who came in and out. When they signed up, Qi Zixi would remember One stroke, the cooperation is very tacit.

When he finished writing the last name he reported, he caught a glimpse of the person ahead from the corner of his eye, but didn't see Lan Mo and the others continuing to read. He raised his head in puzzlement, and met Wen Youcheng's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He was so frightened. Almost threw the pen away.

Xie Kaipu stepped forward and stopped him, "I have met the prince of Dingbei."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Guang's voice showed a bit of laziness and carelessness, the more so, the more oppressive it was.

Xie Kaipu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he gritted his teeth and said respectfully: "The emperor has ordered that everyone who enters and exits the Chengqing Palace tonight must register. The subordinates only know the prince, but they don't know the background of these people behind the prince, so... …”

"So you want to stop them?" Xiao Guang's voice could not hear any emotion.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Qi Zixi hurried forward, "Please forgive me, my son, that's not what he meant, but that the lower officials need to register everyone's background in detail, as long as they cooperate with the lower officials."

"Hmph!" Xiao Guang walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

The others, led by Wen Youcheng, went to apply for their names and official positions.

When Qi Zixi saw Wen Youcheng pronounce the word "Pingcheng", his pupils widened inexplicably, what is going on with his wife's uncle? Isn't it called Wen Youcheng?

Fortunately, he was not stupid enough to ask questions. He calmed down and pondered after this group of people passed by, but he still didn't understand those twists and turns. Another group of people came in front. This time, Lan Mo and Xie Kaipu stepped forward to stop him. people.

Qi Zixi turned his head to look, and was dumbfounded for an instant. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, he would have really yelled.

Xiao Ding narrowed his eyes amusedly, retracted his gaze from Qi Zixi, and turned to Lan Xie and the two of them, "Xiao Ding, the eldest son of Lingnan Prince, entered the palace to celebrate his birthday, do you want to stop him?"

Prince of Lingnan!

Lan Mo and Xie Kaipu looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.

Qi Zixi came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Your Majesty is well, according to the rules of the palace, please invite your Majesty and the people around you to register with the lower officials."

Xiao Ding was more cooperative than Xiao Guang. Not only did he take the initiative to step forward, but he also reported everyone around him to Qi Zixi, asking in an unclear manner, "Are there any problems now?"

Of course there are problems! So many questions! But he can't ask! woo woo...

Qi Zixi prayed and begged in his heart, but Xi Hongjun's face was blocked by someone, and he didn't even have a chance to "eye contact" with him, so he could only worry in his heart, but shook his head decisively on his face, wishing they would go in quickly, as for the later What would happen...he couldn't care.

After Xiao Ding and his party left, Xie Kaipu asked suspiciously in a low voice: "When did the Prince of Lingnan enter Beijing?"

Lan Mo shook his head solemnly, always feeling that something might really happen tonight, thinking of this, he immediately gouged out Xie Kaipu's eyes, and cursed bitterly: "Crow's mouth!"

Xie Kaipu: "?????" Who did he provoke, why did he have a crow's mouth?

Qi Zixi couldn't care about the two bickering at the moment, and sat down in a daze, in a state of confusion.

Seeing the people from the first palace coming out, Bai He hurriedly pushed Qi Zixi, "Master Qi, it's time to register."

Qi Zixi came back to his senses, and found that the cold sweat on his forehead had rolled down his hair, he quickly wiped it off, and took back those messy thoughts.

It was not until most of the courtiers had entered that a few concubines came from the other direction.

Qi Zixi didn't dare to get distracted, and lowered his head to write seriously, when he heard the people beside him read: "Let the imperial concubine bring the big palace lady Luzhu, the palace people...in."

Hearing the words "Concubine Ling", Qi Zixi raised his head subconsciously. Under the reflection of the glazed lamp, Concubine Ling's delicate and beautiful appearance was a little more charming and coquettish, and she walked slowly.

The appearance became clearer, she didn't look like a woman in her thirties, but a young woman in her early twenties, her appearance was somewhat similar to Chen Ningya's, but her demeanor was completely different.

At first glance, this person is a domineering master. With this recognition, Qi Zixi immediately turned his eyes away, and swept his eyes from Luzhu and the few little maids behind him. He deliberately stayed on Luzhu for a while, waiting for her to leave He looked at Chunhe, and asked in a low voice, "Is that maid named Luzhu? Is it the maid next to Concubine Ling?"

Chunhe probed inside, and nodded cautiously after confirming that there was no one there. After several waves of people, she didn't murmur until no one came before and after, "Why did Master Qi notice Sister Luzhu?"

Qi Zixi thought of the first group of people who registered this morning, and immediately opened it, pointing to the names on it, "Look."

The four of them leaned over to have a look, Lan Mo frowned and said, "Did Luzhu bring someone to Chengqing Palace early in the morning?"

How could they have no impression!

Qi Zixi nodded, "The point is not this, but at the time when the sun was just rising, I was condescending, and I happened to notice the dew on the head. At that time, I clearly saw that she was wearing a long and complicated pearl hairpin, shining in the sun. The soft light, the pearl hairpin is not small, obviously it was specially worn for today's Qianqiu Festival. But the hairpin she wore on her head just now was clearly not a pearl hairpin, but a silver hairpin, it doesn't look as beautiful as the morning hairpin."

"My lord, do you mean that pearl belongs to dew?" Bai He exclaimed, and covered his mouth belatedly.

"Are you sure?" Lan Mo asked urgently.

Qi Zixi shook his head, how could he be sure about this? But it's just a doubt.

On the other hand, Chun He, who was at the side, turned pale when he heard these words, and his body was on the verge of falling.

Bai He hurriedly supported her, Chun He trembled his lips, and after a while he whispered feebly: "If Mr. Qi is not mistaken, then...that pearl belongs to Sister Luzhu most likely, but... ...What is she doing in the imperial dining room?"

Qi Zixi didn't understand, "Even if the pearl is hers, it doesn't mean anything? Anyone can go to the imperial dining room."

Chunhe shook his head, "No, the emperor loves the imperial concubine and empress, and there is a small kitchen in Fengxian Hall, and all the ingredients are delivered there by special personnel. The imperial concubine has been in the palace for many years, and in the first few years, he sent people to the imperial dining room. , After having a small kitchen, I never ordered anyone to go there.

Luzhu is the eldest maid in front of the imperial concubine, no matter what the reason is, she doesn't need to run to the imperial dining room at this time of day, unless..."

"Unless she has a reason to go!" Lan Mo turned and ran away involuntarily with a sullen face.

"Where are you going?" Qi Zixi yelled, shrank his head in fright, lowered his voice and asked Xie Kaipu anxiously: "What did he go for?"

Xie Kaipu pondered and said: "Go to inform the news!"
