Female Official In the East Palace

“Dong Dong Dong—”

The window was slightly lit, Rong Xin opened her eyes, tucked the quilt for Dongzhu, put on a coat and walked outside, asking softly, "What's the matter?"

The palace maid outside the door immediately responded respectfully: "Report to the female officer Rong, the Prince of Xi County invites you to go fishing."

In autumn, the morning frost and dew are heavy and the weather is cool, so Rong Xin has no leisure to go fishing.

leave."

"Yes."

But it is impossible for Rong Xin to go back to sleep again, put on the clothes outside, put on a simple bun, then take a book and sit outside, waiting Dongzhu wakes up.

In the morning, Rong Xin just appeared in the main hall with Dongzhu for breakfast, Jingxi and Guo Luoluo were already waiting there.

Jingxi winked at Rong Xin mysteriously, "Officer Rong doesn't know, what did you miss when you didn't go fishing with me..."

Rong Xin smiled calmly, and replied, "I am lucky if I get it, but if I lose my life, the prince doesn't have to feel sorry for me."

Jingxi made a "tsk", her expression still very subtle.

Guo Luoluo personally set the bowls and chopsticks for Dongzhu. Seeing him like this, he asked very curiously: "When did my uncle like fishing? It has been three times since I came to Zhuangzi."

"The fun of fishing lies in the moment when the fish bites the hook. I was just baiting the first two days."

Guo Luoluo frowned, "It's weird."

Rong Xin concentrates on cooking for Dongzhu, ignoring Jingxi's strange appearance.

Good to you."

Jingxi faced Rong Xin and invited her: "Cousin Rong has not been to the back mountain of Renzhao Mountain, right? It is also an academy. In recent years, the head of the mountain has brought the students to plant a lot of flowers and plants. The trees and the scenery are very elegant, and tourists often go up the mountain to play.”

Rong Xin expressed interest, "In that case, please ask the king to lead the way."

However, in this day and age, people who really have fun and play, don't need to worry too much about their livelihood.

Therefore, on the way up the mountain, the people they met were all neatly dressed people, occasionally there were silk satin and cotton robes, and there were also women, but like Guo Luoluo's comb There was only one woman with a bun that had not left the cabinet.

"There are several wooden pavilions on the mountain for people to rest. I have ordered people to occupy a place with excellent scenery in the morning. Let's go directly."

Rong Xin said lightly: "Is it because the scenery is excellent, or is it because my eighth brother will go?"

Jingxi said without shame: "It is precisely because of the excellent scenery that Brother Eight and those students will definitely go."

Renzhao Mountain is not very high, and everyone climbed for three quarters of an hour to reach the wooden pavilion that Jingxi said.

The wooden pavilion is on a natural terrace halfway up the mountain. The wooden pavilion is located on the terrace. The fence extended by the wooden pavilion is deeply embedded into the mountain, so as not to fall down the mountain .

Under the wooden pavilion, there is a wide platform for visitors to play safely. At this time, there are three people who look like scholars standing there and talking happily.

The maid placed snacks, dried fruits and tea on the stone table in the pavilion, Jingxi sat down directly, while Guo Luoluo was pacing in the pavilion with a handkerchief twisted.

Accompany her on the fence to see the structure of the pavilion.

"Don't turn, it makes me dizzy."

Rong Xin heard the voice, turned her head slightly, and saw Guo Luoluo humming at Jingxi, sitting angrily beside Jingxi.

"Uncle, did you inquire wrongly? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is not coming?"

The fan in Jingxi's hand tapped lightly on her forehead, "When did my uncle deceive you?"

Guo Luoluo couldn't refute, she sat for a while, took the melon seed plate, and slowly plucked the melon seeds to hide her anxiety.

Rong Xin and Dongzhu had been heading down the mountain. At this time, he saw several people walking up the stairs. One of them was Brother Eight, and he said, "Come on."

Guo Luoluo immediately stood up, raised his feet and wanted to walk towards Rong Xin.

"Come back." Jingxi did not allow her to doubt: "Sit here honestly, you have a daughter, why are you so urgent?"

Guo Luoluo stopped and retorted unwillingly: "I just want to see the eighth brother, urgent or not, this marriage has been decided, what is the obstacle?"

"Since the marriage has been decided, if you see it or not, what's the hindrance?" Jingxi put away her smile and said solemnly, "Come back and sit down!"

Rong Xin pulled Dongzhu to the side and gave way, smiled at Guo Luoluo: "The location of the prince's election is indeed very good, you can see it when you sit there."

Guo Luoluo threw down the mountain to realize it. Seeing that the fruit was vaguely visible, he sat down on the stone bench with the attitude of a noble lady.

At this time, a young woman with a bamboo basket stepped down from the mountain. She carefully glanced at the people in the pavilion as she passed by the wooden pavilion. She quickly retracted her gaze timidly and hurried down. Xu Shi walked in a hurry, and when he walked across the platform, he stepped on the air, and his body slanted, and he fell straight down.

Rong Xin's heart tightened, and she only relaxed when a scholar who was walking with Eighth Brother stepped on the stone steps in three steps and steadily caught the girl. Take a breath.

If you roll down the stone steps, you will suffer a great sin if you don't die.

And the woman seemed to be extremely frightened, her face was pale, and her whole body was paralyzed on the stone steps, and she was terrified.

onto the platform.

"This girl, are you okay?

The young woman seemed to wake up with a start, and said gratefully with tears: "Thank you, son, if it weren't for you today, the little girl, the little girl would have died here..."

After the scholar let go of the hand holding her, he politely took a step back and comforted: "The girl is safe and sound, you don't need to think about it again."

Another group of people on the platform was also with the group of Myna, and one of the scholars came over with a cup of tea, handed it to the young woman, and said softly: "Miss, have a cup of tea, Go home early after drinking."

The young woman gave him a look and immediately said: "Thank you, son, my mother is still at home waiting for the little girl to pick mushrooms and go home, so she won't drink your tea."

After she finished speaking, she took a step forward, but just as she took a step, she suddenly cried out in pain and fell to the side.

Because this woman was no longer in danger, Rong Xin focused his attention on a young scholar behind the eighth brother. At this time, seeing her falling straight to the eighth brother, he couldn't help himself for a moment. Mr. Di was a little suspicious.

The eighth brother was wearing a bodyguard, so naturally he wouldn't let her touch his body. One of the guards picked it up and taught the woman to regain her footing.

Guo Luoluo couldn't help but stand up again because of this. Seeing this, for fear that her uncle would notice her gaffe, she immediately sat back again with the same posture as before.

Jingxi Yuguang swept her movement, but did not reveal it.

On the platform, there was thin sweat on the forehead of the young woman, her lips were pale, and she said, "I'm afraid I accidentally twisted my foot, please forgive me."

Several scholars looked at each other in dismay, and then one of them looked at Brother Eight and suggested, "Young Master He, this girl may have injured her foot. Can you ask your **** to take her down the mountain?"

The people on the platform were waiting for his reply, and the three people in the booth, especially Guo Luoluo, were also waiting for the reply from Brother Eight.

The eighth brother gently shook the folding fan, and after a while, he was extremely: "It's not that I don't want to go down, it's just that there are differences between men and women, if my guard personally escorts this girl down the mountain, wouldn't I teach people to see it? Affect your reputation?"

When the young woman heard this, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No trouble, really no trouble, I just didn't notice it for a while, I can go down the mountain by myself."

The scholar who spoke earlier disapproved and said, "Isn't it hurt that such a long journey hurts?"

"It's really not necessary." The young woman's face was anxious, she grasped the straps on the basket with both hands, and limped away from here.

"Wait, girl." The scholar stopped her, turned to Brother Eight, and pleaded, "Young Master He is right, but if we teach a weak woman to go down the mountain like this, it's really inappropriate, Why don't we find out where the girl's home is, and let's inform her father and brother to pick him up?"

For his proposal, the eighth brother did not refuse, but the woman's home was a little far away, and it might take a lot of time to go up and down the mountain.

The scholar who had been speaking for this woman before was a kind-hearted person, and even brought her a futon. After the tea was boiled, she brought her hot tea.

Although the eighth brother never showed his favor for this woman, Guo Luoluo was still displeased: "These sanctimonious scholars, seeing the beauty of the woman, will be attentive one by one."

This young woman is really fresh and lovely, and her performance has always been without any purpose, which is really good for people.

But Guo Luoluo's words surrounded all the scholars below, but in fact, except for the scholar who rescued the woman first and the enthusiastic one later, everyone else Well-mannered, not at all "attentive" as she said.

Rong Xin couldn't say anything, but Jingxi didn't have so much scruples, and replied directly: "Are these two tricks of yours a decoration?

"Uncle!" Guo Luoluo called out, and then he was afraid of being heard, and lowered his voice, "How can you speak to a girl like this? I'm your niece!"

Jing Xi gave a cold snort and looked at her with disgust, "Girls?

Guo Luoluo's eyes widened in disbelief, "Splashing monkeys?!"

The relationship between the uncle and nephew is quite interesting, Rong Xin couldn't help smiling.

In the following time, the eighth brother and the others on the platform and the young girl were on the side of each other and did not interfere with each other. The thin middle-aged man returned to the mountain and reported back to Brother Eight: "Master, after my subordinates went down the mountain, I met the girl's father. He was preparing to visit the mountain because his daughter had not returned."

The eighth brother casually glanced at the father and daughter, and suddenly asked, "How did you know that he is the girl's father?"

The guard replied: "My subordinate saw that he was asking a passerby for someone, and the description was similar to this girl, so he asked a question."

The enthusiastic scholar heard the conversation between the two, and said with disdain: "It seems that this old man cares about his daughter very much, and Young Master He is worrying too much."

There is a scholar who has been sitting behind the eighth brother without speaking. Hearing his words at this time, he frowned and said, "Brother Chengqiu, why are you so bitter and mean?"

The scholar named Cheng Qiu immediately retorted: "I don't know who is flattering when he sees He Gongzi's family background, and he mocks me, the father and daughter are deeply in love, you are not To speculate maliciously is really black heart."

Unfortunately, the reversal happened very quickly, and before the eighth brother made a statement, the old man walked up to the crowd, sat on the ground, bit back, and cried, "My daughter's reputation is full of education. You scholars are ruined, how will she behave in the future?"

The accident happened so suddenly that everyone couldn't react in time, and they were all stunned for a while.

The old man cried even louder: "My poor daughter! How will you marry in the future..."

The young woman didn't seem to have expected her father to be like this. She was immediately ashamed and limped over, pulling her father up and saying, "Dad, don't be like this, it's the sons. saved me."

"Saving people? Why did they stop you from going down the mountain?" The old man threw off her hand angrily and said spatly, "Don't look at my old man's lack of knowledge, but Renzhao Academy is the current prince. Master, if you don’t give me an explanation today, I will go to the academy to see how you scholars explain it!”

Renzhao College attaches great importance to the conduct of its students. When he said this, quite a few scholars were a little flustered.

The old man still said roguely: "The old men who have read books are bullying me as an old man! My daughter is innocent, don't think about any of you! I just risked my life, It will also ruin the reputation of you scholars! I will teach you not to take the imperial examination!"

The title is Guangzong Yaozu, and I don't dare to gamble at all.

Even that Cheng Qiu didn't have the plausible words he had before, and his face was extremely ugly.

These scholars only know how to read, but they haven't experienced anything yet. They don't know how to deal with it for a while. Finally, they all look at Brother Eight, waiting for him to figure out a way to deal with it.

How dare anyone in the palace dare to be so rude, but the eighth brother does not entangle with such shameless people. Look how you turn right and wrong, Ping..."

"Yes, my subordinates are."

The eighth brother said solemnly: "You take them down the mountain yourself."

"In broad daylight, you still want to kill people and silence them?" The old man flinched for a moment when the guards approached, and then patted the ground and cried, "No reason!"

"We are all scholars, and we understand things clearly, so how can we kill people?" The eighth brother's voice was gentle but powerful, "My guard will personally send you to the mountain chief to file a complaint, if the mountain chief is really sentenced I am wrong, and I will never evade punishment."

When the old man heard this, his eyes rolled, and when everyone was not paying attention, he suddenly rushed to the fence and shouted: "Do you people have to kill me? My daughter's reputation has been ruined, spread it out She can only sink into the pond, my hard-working daughter, it's useless for me to be a father..."

The young girl was terrified by her father's sudden action, but now the tears are streaming down, as if she were crying for her innocence.

When it comes to the innocence of women, the eighth brother is also quite difficult. At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a coquettish shout.

"Did you not see there are still people on this pavilion? Why is it only your daughter and a woman, and it's broken and innocent?"

In the pavilion, Rong Xin and Jingxi saw that the little girl Guo Luoluo broke out of the pavilion like this, looked at each other, and had no choice but to follow out.

Brother Eight and a young scholar behind him saw Rong Xin and shouted at almost the same time—

"Aunt Rong."

"Auntie!"
