It is extremely simple for the dignified Prince Yong, Fujin, to find the location of a minor official.

Luo Jianing sent An Fu out to inquire, and it didn't take long to find out where Xilin Jueluo's family lived. After that, on a sunny and uneventful morning, Luo Jianing went out and took a car to Xilin Jueluo's house.

.

This is an inconspicuous street. The walls around it are all mottled, and a few pieces of the wall have collapsed in some places. It is obviously in disrepair.

Xilinjueluo's house is at the end of this street.

"This really doesn't look like an official's home." Anfu sighed softly from the side: "Those who don't know better would think this is a common people's home."

Because she was visiting the house, she did not tell her identity directly. Instead, she asked Anfu Gonggong to hand over a greeting card and asked the concierge to deliver it to the owner of the house.

Anfu casually chatted with the concierge for a few words, and then he realized that the madam and the young lady were not at home today, and only the lord happened to be sleeping in the house.

Luo Jianing smiled and said: "This is a coincidence." The main thing she wanted to do was to come and see what kind of person Ertai was, so it was a coincidence that she happened to meet him at home.

Although the concierge of Xilinjueluo's house didn't know who the lady in front of him was, he knew from her extraordinary bearing and stunning appearance that she was no ordinary person.

The concierge said respectfully: "Madam, my master will be here in a moment. You might as well wait in the flower hall for a while, and I will serve you a cup of tea."

At this time, Anfu bent down in time: "Fu Jin, this young man just told me where the flower hall is. I will show you the way." After saying that, he walked over there.

The concierge heard Anfu's words "slave" and thought about his shrill words. He vaguely knew that this lady was more noble than he thought, so he hurriedly went out and called someone to wait on her.

——The Ertai family has a simple population, and there are not many people who usually serve them. If it is not a distinguished guest, he is the one who usually serves tea in the flower hall.

Luo Jianing looked around as she walked towards the flower hall.

The so-called mansion is just a courtyard with three entrances. The total size of the entire mansion is only as big as Honghui Courtyard. However, although the place is small, it is full of warmth. The flowers planted on the roadside are cultivated very carefully.

Growing very well.

Moreover, the place is kept clean and tidy. Because there are many trees and bamboos, the air is fresh and very quiet along the way.

Luo Jianing felt that based on the layout of the mansion, this owner was really good. When she arrived at her destination, she took a seat on the chair in the flower hall.

After a while, a figure hurriedly came from the yard from far to near.

Ertai quickly adjusted his clothes and strode into the house.

When he saw the person in the room, he didn't dare to take a second look, so he bowed: "I have seen the princess! The princess is well." After saying that, he bowed and stepped aside, not daring to move.

"Just sit down." Luo Jianing said: "We are just parents saying a few words, why are we so reserved?"

Ertai then carefully sat on the edge of a chair.

Although he is a Manchu official, he has the elegant temperament of a Han civil servant. His behavior is more like a civil servant than a military officer, which is not consistent with his current official position of "bodyguard".

Luo Jianing smiled and put a box in her hand on the table: "When my child took someone to the jewelry shop, he accidentally picked up a hairpin. I heard that your daughter lost it, so I came here.

, hand the things back to you.”

Ertai opened the box and took a look. The silver hairpin inside was exactly what his daughter liked to wear.

A few days ago, my daughter said that she didn’t know where the hairpin was lost. She went back and asked the store, but the store said she had never seen it. A clerk said that another wealthy family might have taken it away. At that time, she thought it belonged to that family, so she put it away.

In the box.

My daughter was very regretful when she came back, and she was afraid that someone else would take her things and cause trouble, so she couldn't sleep well these days.

Because of this, the wife took her daughter to the temple to burn incense and pray for peace and success.

Who would have thought that there would be such great luck today, things were lost and found, and Princess Yong even bothered Princess Yong to come and return them in person.

Although he was completely unfamiliar with Prince Yong's Mansion, Ertai also knew that Prince Yong's eldest children now only have a son and a daughter. The other two children are still young. The eldest daughter is a concubine and is not in the mansion.

live.

In this case, the child of Prince Yong's palace who could go to the store to "pick up" his daughter's hairpin should be the prince.

Thinking about it, if the prince hadn't picked it up, why would he bother the princess to make this trip in person?

Ertai suddenly started to sweat on his forehead. He quickly stood up in gratitude and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Princess! Fortunately, your child is a polite and sensible child. Otherwise, my daughter's reputation would be over like this!" said his emotions.

He was so excited that he kowtowed.

Luo Jianing hurriedly helped him up: "Sir, why are you so polite? It's just a little effort."

"For Fujin, it is a trivial matter, but for Weichen's daughter, it is a big matter related to reputation." Ertai said seriously: "If my daughter hadn't followed my wife to another place and was not at home, Weichen would definitely have to do it.

Let her come and kowtow to Fujin in person to express gratitude."

Luo Jianing wanted to make good friends with this family, so she said: "Since your wife is not at home, please give this thing to her. Thank you. Needless to say, it is normal for children to be confused occasionally.

"

"Thank you for your love, Princess." Ertai stood up again and bowed to salute: "My little girl is careless when doing things. She accidentally left her personal belongings in the store. She is really careless. Fortunately, the princess picked it up, otherwise the girl's personal belongings would have been taken away by the rude man.

It is really damaging to your reputation. I would like to thank the princess on behalf of my daughter and my family."

Luo Jianing hurriedly gave him a weak hand: "Your Excellency, you are too polite."

"When the little girl returns home, I will definitely ask her to go to the palace to say thank you in person on another day." Ertai saw that Princess Yong wanted to decline politely, so he hurriedly said: "Etiquette cannot be broken. What's more, she has a careless temper. If she doesn't do this this time,

If she corrects herself, she will make bigger mistakes in the future, but there will be no kind-hearted person like the princess to help her."

From Luo Jianing's point of view, she naturally felt that the children could be forgiven for being careless occasionally, and there was no need for the children to come to the door in person to say thank you.

However, judging from the perspective of a parent, she felt that what Ertai did was indeed the right thing to do.

Most parents hope that their children will become honest and trustworthy people in the future, and become calm, capable people who can stand alone. Therefore, many parents also hope that their children will take responsibility from an early age and consciously train their children.

This is the case in Ortai today.

Luo Jianing knew something in her heart, so she did not refuse and said with a smile: "Since you want your daughter to come over to express your gratitude in person, I will not stop you from showing your love to your daughter. I am free these days, if

I usually stay at the palace when I have nothing to do. If your wife comes, I will see her after handing in my invitation."

In fact, Luo Jianing was also busy with Jin Yu's wedding, so she was basically in the house.

But she didn't mention it.

Seeing how polite Ertai was, she was really afraid that this honest man would get excited and send Jin Yu a gift... It was really unnecessary.

"Since you are willing to let your lady come to my house, I will tell you a few words in advance. At that time, I will tell your lady that you should not be so careless in doing things, otherwise you may be tricked by someone with serious intentions in the future.

"Luo Jianing said: "If she doesn't go, I won't say these few words. Now that she has gone, as an elder, I have to remind her."

Ertai didn't expect Fujin to be so sensible. Fujin seemed to understand his thoughts as a father without him having to say anything.

You know, when he and his wife talk about their daughter, her daughter probably doesn't take it seriously. But if the princess is willing to mention her daughter, she should be able to really remember what happened this time.

Ertai excitedly bowed down again: "I'm so grateful!"

Luo Jianing hurriedly supported him and prevented him from continuing to worship.

Things are going smoothly here in Sifujin, but now the palace is not so stable. Ever since the second prince was deposed as the crown prince, his temper has become more and more violent, and he beat more than a dozen palace people out of Xianyang.

Palace, there are various reasons.

Today it is the little palace maid who has not washed her clothes, and tomorrow it is the little eunuch who has not taken care of the flowers and plants. Anyway, no one can catch his eye, and nothing he does is pleasing to him.

At first, that was all. The emperor and the queen mother were busy with their own affairs and had no time to pay attention to the "lively scene" on the prince's side. However, as time went by, everyone became unhappy.

Why should I be so angry with the second prince?

If he really made a mistake, he would be fined one by one. Now that he has done nothing wrong, he can just deal with them as he pleases just because he is "in a bad mood"? It doesn't make sense.

There was a little palace maid who was the daughter of a Manchu official from the Eight Banners. Being a palace maid was just a transitional period. She would still have to leave the palace and get married when she got older.

It turned out that when she placed the tea cup, the position was "a little crooked", and she thought it was okay. When the second prince insisted that she had placed it crooked, the second prince had her dragged out and beaten twenty times.

The little palace maid ran to the Queen Mother and cried. The Queen Mother told Emperor Kangxi about the incident, and Emperor Kangxi severely reprimanded the second prince.

Emperor Kangxi was very tired of thinking about his second son.

Recently, the second prince's temper has become worse and worse. He often yells and yells, and sometimes he is silent and just looks around grimly, which makes people disgusted.

If the last time the second prince was nervous and talking nonsense was because of the witchcraft incident, then the eldest prince has been imprisoned for a long time. He must be showing his true self in this way.

The more Emperor Kangxi thought about it, the more distressed he became. He personally raised this son and taught him the art of emperorship. How could he become like this?

Emperor Kangxi became less and less interested in seeing the second prince. He even became impatient to deal with the second prince because he often did not attend court due to errands.

However, the other person became more and more interested in looking for the second prince.

That is the eighth elder brother.

That day, after the Eighth Prince came down from the court, he looked around and saw that no one was watching around him, so he turned around and arrived at the second prince's house.

The second prince is now becoming more and more free to do whatever he wants. Now that he is alone in the house, he doesn't even bother to tighten his clothes, and they just hang loosely on his body. Moreover, his hair is not combed, so he only

It was tied up crookedly and had no image at all.

When the Eighth Prince saw him like this, he felt funny: "...the Second Emperor Brother is becoming more and more unrestrained now. With such a handsome appearance, not only the little palace maid, but also the little eunuch will be tempted by him."

When his brother mentioned embarrassing things to his face, the second prince became furious and shouted: "What do you mean!"

Because he moved too much, the belt on his body suddenly came apart. Half of his clothes were taken off and only half was left hanging on his body. The jade pendant on his waist was not fastened and slipped off.

The second prince hurriedly went to pick up the jade pendant, but it fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The second prince stared at it blankly, grinding his teeth for a long time, unable to say a word.

The eighth prince laughed heartily.
