After entering, Chu Xingchen felt that he had made the right choice. There was no madam like the one seen on TV who waved his handkerchief and came forward to say hello. Instead, there was an older, gentle man who bowed his head and spoke politely.
From what they heard, they heard that all the men in Xuehonglou were literate, and their clothes were not so feminine, but rather looked like gentle scholars.
Chu Xingchen and Ling Zhou were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They were curious about everything, but they just looked and said nothing. The manager was afraid that they would leave after just one look, so he whispered to them, "Let me tell you a secret. In fact, the princess also likes us.
Tingxue Honglou."
Chu Xingchen and Ling Zhou thought for a moment that their identities had been exposed, and almost ran away without turning around. Fortunately, the steward said the next thing, "You two young masters, do you want to see the man that both the queen and the queen like?"
Chu Xingchen: "..."
Her reputation was hopeless, so she simply nodded, "Okay." She wanted to see what she liked.
"You two gentlemen are invited here. It just so happens that we Yunque is free, so he can talk and sing with you. He has the most beautiful voice I heard in Xuehong Mansion."
In fact, Tingxue was free because he didn't know how to make people happy, so he just happened to be coaxing two little chicks.
After entering the Skylark Pavilion, the steward asked for someone to come over. Chu Xingchen hurriedly refused, "No, one is enough."
"Skylark has met the two young masters." Skylark saluted, and his voice was really nice. He was handsome and handsome, but he looked a little world-weary.
Yunque poured wine for them skillfully and chatted for a while. He didn't come closer or persuade them to drink. This was obviously against the rules. When they came to the red building, he just asked them to drink more wine, but he didn't look at the steward outside.
look.
Because he saw that Chu Xingchen was disguised as a man.
Even though her movements and walking postures were very graceful and there was no awkwardness at all, she still couldn't escape his eyes. He could see it with just one glance at the skeleton.
Most of the guests at the Red Mansion were men, but occasionally there would be girls disguised as men, and he was used to it, telling them some things about the Red Mansion that they would be curious about.
Chu Xingchen and Lingzhou listened with great interest. When he started playing and singing, Chu Xingchen's eyes lit up.
Just when I was listening to it, there was suddenly some noise outside, "Quick, it seems the princess is here."
"I'm going to take a look too."
Chu Xingchen almost choked when he heard it. After listening carefully, he realized that a woman who looked like a concubine had come to visit Xuehonglou recently. Everyone rushed to go there when they heard about it, and even went to the East Palace to serve the concubine.
Dream.
Of course, this was all their speculation, and no one knew whether it was true or not. After all, they had only seen the concubine once in a carriage from a distance.
"As soon as the woman suspected of being a princess came, they all ran away."
The complaints coming from outside made Chu Xingchen couldn't help but watch the excitement.
Chu Xingchen didn't see the so-called princess, but saw several people on the opposite side surrounding her as she entered.
Hearing that most of the people in the Snow Tower had moved, Yunque glanced twice but still played the piano and sang, "Everyone has gone, why didn't you go?" Chu Xingchen asked him curiously.
Yunque shook his head, "Your Highness is so noble and noble, and someone like me cannot meet her." He didn't have that fate, so he stopped struggling.
Lingzhou laughed when he heard the pop, and Yunque wondered, "Why are you laughing, Master?"
"I just heard a funny thing."
Just as Ling Zhou finished speaking, there was suddenly another commotion outside. This time it was even louder. "Everyone, please don't move. The Governor of Feng'an City is conducting a routine inspection."
"Why are you checking again? How many times have you checked this?"
Listening to the complaints outside, Chu Xingchen looked at Lingzhou and checked? What should I do?
After a while, Chu Xingchen was pulled out: "..."
This habit of routine inspection was due to the effect of Chu Xingchen's previous instructions to Feng'an City's governor. Feng'an City's governor was still very good and conscientious, and then Chu Xingchen himself was found responsible.
This is probably what is called digging your own grave.
Who would have thought that on the first day when I visited the Red Building, I would be investigated.
Everyone has a Dachu ID card, which is the same as a modern ID card.
But the two of them, a concubine and a young minister, really don’t have ID cards, or the ID cards are different. The most important thing is that they cannot tell anyone their identities.
If people knew that she and Ling Zhou came to visit the Red Mansion, countless people would be shocked. Her reputation, which was not clean in the first place, would never be cleared up in eight lifetimes.
She must endure.
Because everyone was used to it, they also brought ID cards with them when they came out. In the end, in Tingxue Honglou, they were the only two people who were checked without ID cards.
The interrogation was conducted at Skylark Pavilion. The patrolmen carried knives and were very powerful. "You two had better confess honestly or find a guarantor, otherwise..." The problem will be big.
Chu Xingchen covered his face. Who could she go to outside the palace? She couldn't go to Xu Dandan, let alone Shen Chief Fu Xiao Shangshu. How could a daughter-in-law go to the Red Mansion and ask her parents-in-law to redeem her? That would be pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth - seeking death.
The people in the palace could not go to Shen Cangzhu, but in the end they seemed to have no choice but to go to Xiao Wang. He had a sign that allowed him to enter and leave the palace freely, and he would definitely be able to save them.
Xiao Wang received the news: He encountered something that would make the world speechless.
The first time he used the card given by Chu Xingchen to leave the palace, it was to redeem his own wife who was detained while visiting the Red Mansion, oh, and Ling Zhou, who was also a Shaoqing.
Xiao Wang worked very efficiently, and Chu Xingchen and Lingzhou were quickly bailed out by him.
When they came out to listen to Xue Honglou and got on the carriage, Xiao Wang didn't say a word. Xiao Wang, who had always been calm and rarely expressed his emotions, was so angry that he didn't want to speak for the first time.
"Xiao Shaoqing, don't be angry..."
Chu Xingchen and Lingzhou looked at each other, and finally Chu Xingchen spoke cautiously.
"Your Highness, I have to say this time, you are so shameless, especially you, Ling Shaoqing!"
Xiao Wang looked at Ling Zhou with sharp eyes, "You didn't persuade His Highness, but you still followed him, you..." Xiao Wang took a deep breath, "If you meet a bad person and His Highness is in danger, can you be responsible?
?”
"I was just curious, so I went to take a look." Chu Xingchen explained carefully from the side. Xiao Wang turned back sharply, and Chu Xingchen was immediately frightened by his sharp gaze.
The two of them were so happy when they visited the red building and did bad things, but they were so miserable on the way back. Haha, they admitted their mistakes along the way and promised not to go there again, and Xiao Wang's face improved a little.
Chu Xingchen just breathed out, thinking that the matter was over, but when he returned to the palace, he saw Shen Cangzhu.
Xiao Wang left the palace in a hurry. He was playing chess with Shen Cangzhu at that time, so Shen Cangzhu also knew about it.
"Is the Red Mansion easy to visit?" Shen Cangzhu asked as soon as he saw Chu Xingchen.
"No, it's not easy to go shopping." He was confused again.
"If Your Highness likes a man, he can be brought into the palace openly and openly."
"No, no, I don't like anyone, I'm just curious and want to take a look." Chu Xingchen was about to cry, feeling extremely guilty, "I didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything."
