Hongxi's face turned blue in an instant, he knew very well that the few princes in the palace were at odds with him, although in the past he did not take them seriously because of the empress dowager's favor, but now the rumors outside are all With the current Eucharist violation, it won't take long for these princes to produce a prince, and whoever offends them will be beheaded in the future.

Therefore, even though he heard Hongxi's sarcasm, Hongxi did not dare to be as arrogant as before, restrained his expression, and pretended to be humble: "The fifth brother taught me that it was Hongxi who was confused and forgot the first Go to pay respects to the imperial grandmother."

Hong Zhou frowned slightly, it was rare for Hong Xi to drop his identity and become a lowly servant, so he was not willing to embarrass him.He waved his hand warmly, anyway, Hongxi's temper can't be changed in a day or two, and it's the same when he finds out his faults in the future, and the most important thing right now is to get Liu Tianqiao back.

Seeing his hand gesture, Hongxi understood a little bit, and hurriedly bid farewell to Hongzhan, took his family's servants, boarded a sedan chair and went to the palace.

After he walked away, Hong Zhou reprimanded Meng Tong displeasedly: "I called you here for your safety, why did something happen and you are not as good as a scholar?"

Meng Tong hurriedly knelt down on one knee, kowtowed and replied: "The incident happened suddenly, and the villain didn't expect that the prince would come to our car to fetch someone, and besides, that Qiao brother..."

Meng Tong paused sensitively when he said this, and took a careful look at Hong Zhan. Hong Zhou saw his eyes clearly, knowing that there was something hidden, so he held back his breath and did not ask any further questions. He looked up into the distance, and ordered: "Let someone go out to look for it, and when they see Liu Tianqiao, tell him to come back to Dicui Garden as soon as possible."

Meng Tong said yes, and he was about to leave in a blink of an eye. He saw that he was alone beside the carriage. Who should he find to drive the carriage?Hong Zhan understood this daze, and said with a smile, "Fifth brother brought Liu Tianqiao and Meng Tong with him. Tianqiao is gone now. If Meng Tong goes to look for him, who can you ask to drive you? Why don't you ask me?" People around you go." After finishing speaking, he called Wang Jin, "Go out and inquire carefully, and ask if you have seen where Liu Tianqiao has gone."

Wang Jin took the order and went away. Hong Zhou listened to Hong Zhan's instructions in silence, lowered his eyebrows, and got into the carriage.

Hong Zhan followed him and sat on it. Meng Tong knew that Hong Zhou was angry, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly drove back to Dicui Garden.

In addition, Wang Jin chased Qiaoer and the others for a long time along the way they left, and asked the people who bought and sold along the street, but they all said they didn't see it.Wang Jin was anxious and tired, but he couldn't disgrace his mission, so he could only grope forward by himself.

It turned out that Qiao'er and Zhou Fuxiang didn't take the north-south road at the gate of the city, but turned into an alley on one side after a few steps.This is the famous flower street willow field, and it is a clean place if it is closed during the day. The two dared to stop to take a breath when they heard that there was no sound of chasing behind them.

Qiao'er managed to breathe evenly, but she saw Zhou Fuxiang staring at her. She is a smart person, so she naturally understood what Hongxi said just now, and Zhou Fuxiang listened to her heart.With such an identity, she originally wanted to keep it a secret for three to five years, but now that the incident was revealed, it was an opportunity to tell the truth.

She waited quietly, Zhou Fuxiang really couldn't hold back, glanced at her affectionately from the corner of the eye, and asked her timidly after a long time: "Yuan Mao...that Hongxi son just now...what he said...was from Prince Heng's mansion... Princess, you...you..."

Probably because he didn't know how to speak, Zhou Fuxiang couldn't help but stumbled when he said this.Qiaoer looked at his embarrassment, wanted to laugh but felt sad, took a deep breath, and could only tell everything by herself: "If Yanqing wants to know the inside story, Qiaoer can tell him directly, but the inside story is too tortuous, please let me know." Listen patiently."

Zhou Fuxiang nodded hurriedly.

Qiao'er breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly said: "You have seen that Hongxi prince Yanqing just now, and he was the person I met on the bridge on March 28. I asked you for help in a hurry that day. All of a sudden, I want to explain clearly to you why Crown Prince Hongxi would not let me go. Everything started because of my identity, as he saw, I am not a man, but a daughter of Jinling Jia's family." She As she spoke slowly, she raised her slender fingers, and gently pulled off the square scarf on her head.

Zhou Fuxiang was already amazed when he heard about it. Now seeing her without a crown, her long hair hangs down and her forehead is covered with blue silk. She is indeed a pretty and smart girl with golden branches. Why did I mistook her for a young man in the first place? ?

For a moment she was stunned and did not dare to speak, Qiaoer also seemed to have expected him to do so, so she went on talking to herself: "Perhaps Yanqing didn't know that in the early winter of last year, the fourth family of King Xue of Jiashi committed crimes and fell in love overnight. The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and all the female relatives were enslaved by officials and sold at a low price on the street. After I became a prisoner, I was also implicated in it. Fortunately, my grandma's family gave me a helping hand and rescued me from the fire and water. Because he was afraid of hurting them, he pretended to be Brother Ban'er's cousin in the village to accompany Yanqing."

"No, no, it's not your fault." Zhou Fuxiang waved his hands again and again, he was too shocked by what he heard that day, even if he wanted to comfort Qiao'er, he couldn't find any decent words to say.

Qiao'er also understands his kindness, but the words have come to this point, no matter how difficult it is, she has to continue.

"On Emperor Dongyue's birthday that day, I accidentally bumped into Hong Xi's son, and told him to see who he really is. To protect myself, I took advantage of the chaos and jumped down to the bridge, and Brother Meng Ban'er came to the rescue. The twin sister I mentioned that Yanqing saw at her grandma's house afterward was actually... all dressed up by myself."

"This...you..."

Zhou Fuxiang couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it was a waste of time thinking about the beautiful woman, but he didn't expect that it was far away and close in front of him.

Qiao'er also knew that the words were too absurd, seeing him stare blankly, she had to bow her head in shame.

Only at this moment did Zhou Fuxiang dare to look at this "boy" who had been with him for a long time. The ancients said that the male rabbit's feet are fluttering, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred. Two rabbits walk side by side. An can tell whether I am male or female. I am really sincere and not deceived. .

With such a young appearance and such a magnanimous personality, even a boudoir girl can be called a miracle.Because of this, he bowed deeply to Qiao'er with awe in his heart, and said, "Young lady acts resolutely, she is no match for men like me. I really admire her. At the beginning, Yanqing didn't know the truth, and if she offended her, please take care of her."

"What is Yanqing doing, why don't you hurry up and invite me?" Qiao'er didn't think that he was so open-minded, and hurriedly reached out to help him, but then thought that she had recovered her daughter's body, so it would be difficult to give and receive a blind date, so she withdrew her hand again. .

Yanqing smiled shyly and got up by herself.

The two of them looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Qiaoer remembered Zhou Fuxiang's purpose of entering the palace today, and reminded him: "Your master has already entered the palace, why don't you go quickly? It's too late, he should have something to reprimand you."

Zhou Fuxiang patted his forehead, only then did he think of this matter, and hurriedly said: "If I go into the palace, what will the girl do? I'm afraid the people of Hongxi Shizi will not let the girl go, how will the girl go out of the city at this moment? "

Qiao'er bit her lip, she didn't know how to escape from the hands of Shizi's minions, but one person's suffering is better than two people's suffering, no matter what, she couldn't ask Zhou Fuxiang to delay with herself any longer.In this rush, I came up with an idea right now: "Just go to the palace. If I can leave the city today, I will go back to grandma's house. You send someone to grandma's house to inquire carefully. If I can't go back today, then Someone caught me. At that time, I hope Yanqing will help me and rescue me."

Zhou Fuxiang thought about her words carefully, and it was a safe idea, as long as he stayed with the teacher, if Qiaoer suffered, there was always a way to rescue her.In this way, he looked at Qiao'er again and again, and then told her to take care of herself, and said goodbye to the palace.

Seeing him walking away, Qiao'er adjusted her clothes and came out of the alley.

Wang Jin just turned around from the alley to catch a glimpse behind her, and followed a few steps, seeing that there was no one around her, he called out softly, "Sir, stay a step."

Qiaoer looked back in surprise, Wang Jin greeted with a smile and said: "The two princes have already gone back to the garden first, and asked the younger one to come out and find out where the young master has gone, and said that he will take the young master back immediately after seeing it."

Two princes?Qiao'er muttered to herself, it must be Prince He and Prince Guo who came out to find her.That's fine, it's safer to follow the people of the Prince's Mansion than to walk alone.

So they followed Wang Jin back. The two of them had never ridden a horse, but only hired a mule cart.Sure enough, there were people patrolling at the gate of the city, but Wang Jin had the badge of Prince Guo's mansion, and the searchers didn't dare to be negligent, so they let them out by luck.

When the two of them returned to Dicui Garden, the teacups in front of the two princes, He and Guo, had changed twice.Both Meng Tong and Fu An waited on them, and all the maids were sent outside. As soon as Qiaoer and Wang Jin came, they were greeted to enter the Nuan Pavilion.

Qiaoer first kowtowed to the two princes, He and Guo, and brought a blue and white tureen to Prince He, with her head depressed and silent.But Prince Guo couldn't hold back, he sneered and said: "Liu Tianqiao, why did you provoke Hongxi again, and caused him to make a big fuss."

Qiao'er bowed her head and apologized, she didn't dare to advance the matter, she just said: "It's the little one who acted recklessly, which offended Prince Hongxi."

Prince Guo shook his head in disbelief: "How reckless are you sitting in the carriage? You haven't really asked for it."

When he said this, Qiao'er's face changed slightly, but fortunately she lowered her head, not missing any clues, and said: "It's only natural for the master to punish the slave, and the little one has never acted recklessly, but sitting in the carriage It is a small fault to offend the prince, and it is considered reckless."

"Hahaha..." Hong Zhan looked up and smiled, and clapped his hands, "You will smooth things over for him, but it's hard for your master to worry about you."

"Hong Zhan"

Prince He's face turned cold, and Prince Guo's outspokenness persisted despite repeated admonitions. When he was enrolled in the study, the cabinet bachelor had reminded him more than once, telling him to keep his words in his mouth.Unexpectedly, in the past few years, he has become more outspoken.
