    In the capital, on the official road, on a ten-mile slope, there is a tea house with four circles of green bamboo branches recently moved there.  (eng.com) Behind the bamboo counter, there was only an old man with a hunched back, silently boiling water to make tea.

    Chen Menglei was wearing a white washed cloth robe and sitting in a bamboo chair by the window. Opposite the tea table was Li Guangdi, who was frowning solemnly.

    "Zezhen, Brother Yu has tried his best to defend you in the memorial, I also have difficulties"

    Chen Menglei interrupted coldly: "That's enough, no need to say more. You and I both know the right and wrong, so why bother to show off anymore? Now that I have been demoted and returned to my hometown, you can be your bachelor in peace  .¡±

    Li Guangdi was so sarcastic that he couldn't hold on to his face anymore. He barely suppressed his anger and said, "Zezhen, there are some expenses here. You may need them when you go home" As he spoke, Li Guangdi put the baggage in his hand on the table.  Go up to Chen Menglei and push him over.

    Chen Menglei raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Guangdi with cold eyes, and asked word for word: "Li Jinqing, can this little money redeem your conscience?"

    After hearing this, Li Guangdi finally turned pale, stood up angrily, and shouted in a low voice: "Chen Zezhen, you, you, please don't know how to send us off, because we are in the same year, I have done my best to you, and there is no way I can do it.  "The Theory of Guilt"

    Chen Menglei said with a cold "hum": "No effort and no expense"

    Li Guangdi was furious, stood up and walked away.  arrive

    Chen Menglei straightened his back and sat upright in the chair, but his hands were tightly curled up at the bottom of his sleeves, and his slightly long nails made his palms bleed. The hatred swirling in his heart was hard to calm down Li Jinqing one day, he would  After regretting it for a long time, Chen Menglei raised his hand to pick up a cup of warm tea on the table and drank it in one gulp before his trembling body eased slightly.

    Another person walked in at the door of the tea house. It was Xu Qianxue, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He was not wearing official uniform, just an ordinary brocade straight dress.  A boy followed behind him, also holding a package in his hand.  Chen Menglei stood up and chatted with Xu Qianxue for a moment, thanking him for his help. Xu Qianxue gave him fifty taels of Chengyi.

    Chen Menglei did not refuse this time, but pointed to the baggage that Li Guangdi had left on the table before, and asked Xu Qianxue to take it away and return it to the man, "it turns out that Chen is ignorant and does not know people wellI am determined not to owe him anything, nor to him."  I accept his love"

    Senior Xu Qian sighed, knowing that there was no need to persuade him about this matter, it was irreversible, so he said no more.  He watched Chen Menglei board a carriage with black curtains and drift away.  Perhaps in his lifetime, that person will only be able to live out his life as a marquis.

    Xu Qianxue turned around and returned to Beijing. Chen Menglei sat in the rented carriage and ordered the accompanying boy: "Meng Jiao, let's go directly to Guangdong." Meng Jiao agreed, raised the curtain and sat next to the carriage to discuss with Xiao Gui who was driving the carriage.  Driving route along the way.

    On the third day of October, Empress Dowager Xiaohui¡¯s birthday, Emperor Kangxi left the imperial court one day to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her 40th birthday.  The emperor's own birthday can be kept simple, but the emperor's mother-in-law is always unwilling to neglect it.  Emperor Kangxi led his seven-year-old Crown Prince Yinfeng and other children to the Empress Dowager's palace to pay their respects. Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren gathered together happily, creating a happy atmosphere of filial piety.

    In the afternoon of that day, two theater troupes arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs sang three times on the stage built on the north side of the Imperial Garden, and all the palace family members enjoyed the performance.  In such a lively scene, some people are happy and some are lonely.  For example, the second-generation Glyndwr sent the nanny who was serving her back to get something, but she slipped out from under the stage alone and hid on the rockery in the garden to take a rest.

    Since the beginning of autumn, Concubine Rong is often in a melancholy mood. She is more concerned about the daily life and academic studies of the third elder brother Yinzhi, and is a little careless about Er Gege.  On weekdays, Lin Duoer might not feel lonely, and it would be easier to pass the time by talking to Da Gege Niu Niu, but Niu Niu is not in the palace these days.

    Lin Duoer was lying on the rockery glumly, her eyes were red as she thought about it, and she took a small handkerchief from her lapel to gently wipe her tears.  Suddenly I heard footsteps coming from the rock path. After a while, a voice asked: "Gege, where are you going?"

    Another voice replied: "Just walk and don't talk too much." After a while, there was a muffled sound of "bang", and then the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

    Lin Duo'er clutched her handkerchief and dared not make a sound. She quietly looked over and saw a great eunuch lying on the ground. Another woman was taking off his robe and putting it on, and she was loosening her hair and braiding it into a braid.  She wore a long braid and wore the eunuch's green round hat on top of her head to cover her hair.  She bent down and took the card for leaving the palace from the eunuch's waist and tied it on her belt. Then she left the Imperial Garden and headed straight for Shunzhen Gate.

    Lin Duoer sat blankly on the rockery, thinking to herself, "Auntie, what is she doing?"

    Lin Duoer thought stupidly for a while but still had no clue. Suddenly an idea struck her.Lin Duo'er couldn't sit still anymore and ran to the entrance of the Royal Garden. The little eunuch guarding the door was still on duty. When Lin Duo'er walked over, the little eunuch saw Lin Duo'er's uniform and headdress, and immediately  He knelt down and said, "Good luck to you." Lin Duoer had no time to pay attention to him and walked out.

    Every gate of the palace is guarded by imperial guards, and no one is allowed to leave the palace without matching cards.  Because when the troupe entered the palace to perform, everyone and vehicles were carefully searched three times to make sure they did not carry daggers, swords and other murderous weapons. In the evening, the concert in the imperial garden had finished singing, and strict arrangements were made for the guards to be on duty throughout the day.  There is no danger. Only by letting the troupe leave the palace immediately can the safety of the palace be ensured.  So the Imperial Guard checked the passing vehicles, counted the number of people, and then let them go.

    However, Lin Duoer's unexpected adventure was a lucky success.  She got out of the bed next to the road and took advantage of the chaos to climb onto a carriage. There were three wooden boxes piled on the carriage, all of which were her belongings. Lin Duoer pulled out a big red costume and covered her body, lying on the box.  Hidden underneath.

    When Emperor Kangxi was having dinner, he learned about the disappearance of Lin Duoer. The last person who saw Lin Duoer was the eunuch guarding the imperial garden.  At the same time, the imperial guard also found a chamberlain who had been knocked unconscious behind the rockery. Not only had his robes been stripped off, but his waistband had also been lost.
