In the palace prison, Xu Jin and Song Yifang shared the food across the iron bar, and the latter poured some wine for Xu Jin with a bowl, took the opportunity to use chopsticks to make some wine, wrote the word "don" on the coffee table, and then winked at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin looked at Song Yifang inexplicably, and there were two pronunciations of the word "丼", one was pronounced jǐng, which has the same general meaning as the word tic-tac-toe, and the other was pronounced dǎn, which described the sound of something falling into a well.

Song Yifang glanced at the palace guards guarding outside the prison door, and said with a smile: "Ziqian, there is a sweet water well in the palace, the well water is sweet and clear, and it tastes good when used to make tea, and the aftertaste is endless, but it is a pity that the official is trapped here, otherwise he must ask the governor to taste it." ”

Xu Jin's heart moved, and he smiled: "Coincidentally, I am also a good tea person, if Lord Song has to get out of the cage one day, he will definitely have the cheekiness to come to the door to ask for tea." He blinked as well.

"There is no need, if Ziqian can drink it, it doesn't matter if he drinks the well water!" Song Yifang laughed comfortably, talking to smart people is to save trouble.

Shouda had a total of four guards outside the prison, two of whom were daily guards of Song Yifang, while the other two were men sent by King Ning's son.

"Hey, the surname Song has been locked up by the prince for more than a year, and now I still want to leave, dream." One of the guards scoffed under his breath.

At this moment, a group of people came this way with lanterns, and the four palace guards were startled when they saw the comers, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Meet the princess." ”

But when she saw the two maids holding the lantern and opening the way, Concubine Lou was carried by the maidservant Xiaodie, and there were two little eunuchs holding the lantern behind her.

Concubine Lou walked to the front of the prison and said, "Get up!" ”

Lou Suzhen's voice is soft and beautiful, although she is already a thirty-six-year-old woman, her body is plump and slender, her goose-egg-shaped pretty face, her skin is fair and firm, and she has the kind of Huixiu elegance from within, with a mature charm, it is like a glass of wine.

The four guards stood up and looked down at their toes respectfully, not out of fear, but out of respect for Concubine Lou from the bottom of their hearts.

King Ning has a violent temperament and is thirsty for killing, and every year he will kill a few subordinates and guards with a cane because of some trivial things, if it weren't for Concubine Lou often interceding for the people below, I'm afraid there will be more people killed. Therefore, in the eyes of the subordinates and guards of the palace, the princess is a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering.

Concubine Lou said lightly: "Open the prison door and bring out the scholar named Xu Jin inside!" ”

Several guards glanced at each other, and the two soldiers left by King Ning were even more anxious, and hurriedly said: "Princess Niangniang, that scholar was specially explained by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he will not be released until tomorrow." ”

Fluttershy snorted, "Presumptuous, do you dare to listen to the princess?" ”

The faces of several of the guards changed, and two of them hurriedly opened the cell door to pick them up.

Xu Jin and Song Yifang in the prison had already heard the movement, and they all stood up and looked at the door of the cell.

The two guards walked quickly to the iron fence where Xu Jin was imprisoned, opened the locked iron bar, and said: "The surname Xu, you are lucky to go shit, the princess Niangniang will come to pick up people in person, you can go!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, Song Yifang smiled and said: "Congratulations to Ziqian, Concubine Lou has a bodhisattva heart, she must let you out, I wish Ziqian a successful trial." ”

Xu Jin arched his hand and said gratefully: "Thanks to Lord Song's help, Lord Song take care." ”

Song Yifang nodded meaningfully and said, "Go, if you can see you again in your lifetime, this official will definitely invite Ziqian to tea!" ”

Xu Jin arched his hand again and followed the two guards out of the cell.

"Xu Jin meets the princess!" Xu Jin saw the beautiful woman next to the maidservant Fluttershy, and estimated that this was Lou Suzhen, a talented girl who was famous in history, and hurriedly bowed.

"Presumptuous, when I saw the princess, I dared not kneel!" A little eunuch shouted sharply.

Xu Jin secretly scolded your uncle, and was about to kneel down helplessly, but Concubine Lou said lightly: "No need, you are Xu Jin, a Confucian student in Shangrao County?" ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Concubine Lou looked Xu Jin up and down, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, because Xu Jin was too young, it was really hard to imagine that those majestic poems were written by such a young man, especially the song "Linjiang Immortal" that circulated from the Tengwang Pavilion Literary Conference a few days ago.

"Presumptuous!" The little eunuch screamed again, because while Concubine Lou was looking at Xu Jin, Xu Jin was also looking at this famous talented woman in history.

As soon as the little eunuch drank like this, Concubine Lou, who was losing her mind, was startled, and glanced at the little eunuch dissatisfied, who lowered her head in disdain.

"You come with me, there are some things that the princess wants to ask clearly." Concubine Lou turned around after speaking.

The two guards left behind by Prince Ning watched Xu Jin being taken away by the princess, and one of them said anxiously, "What should I do now?" ”

With the style of the princess, there is a chance that the surname Xu will be released in the end.

"What else can I do, notify His Royal Highness the Prince immediately!" Another guard said helplessly.

So the two guards hurriedly ran to the east courtyard where the prince lived to report the news, but His Royal Highness the prince was not in the courtyard, and when he inquired, he learned that His Royal Highness the prince had gone to Xiao Huakui's courtyard.

It is said that since he won Xiao Yuxue heartily that night, Brother Zhu has become a little addicted to Xiao everyone's two ecstasy long legs...... It was a real aftertaste.

In addition, after arresting Xu Jin today, Brother Zhu's mood was also very comfortable, so he planned to find Xiao and everyone again tonight, so he took the guards to the east of the city without even eating dinner.

Besides, when the two guards rushed to the Chengdong Palace to report the news, King Ning Shizi happened to be provoked by Xiao Huakui, and was about to go straight to the topic, but the door was slammed by Huang Zhong, the leader of the guards.

"His Royal Highness, my brothers have come to report that the princess is going to release that Xu Jin." Huang Zhong's voice came through the door.

King Ning Shizi was about to sword and blessed land, and was taken aback when he heard this, hurriedly got up, put on his clothes and rushed out of the room, shouting: "Quick, go home!" ”

King Ning Shizi knows his mother's temperament very well, many of the people arrested by his father in the past have been secretly released by his mother concubine in private, if Xu Jin is also released, wouldn't everything he did be in vain? Therefore, Brother Zhu didn't even want to lose his soul Xiao and rushed to the palace with all the guards.

In the living room at this time, Xu Jin stood respectfully, Princess Lou Suzhen sat on the chair, staring at Xu Jin with a phoenix eye, and said lightly: "Xu Jin, did you make the song "Picking Woods"?" ”

Xu Jin chuckled in his heart, nodded stubbornly, and said, "It's indeed what I'm doing!" ”

Fluttershy sneered, "Nonsense, this poem was obviously written by the princess this spring, but it didn't spread out of the house, only a few people know about it, how did you find out?" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly complain, saying that he used this song "Cai Qiao Tu" at the prefect's private banquet, just to show his attitude and at the same time to clear himself.

This "Picking Wood" was recorded by Xu Jin when he read the biography of Concubine Lou in his previous life, but it is not clear when Concubine Lou made it. used this poem at a private banquet that day, and Xu Jin also pondered two situations:

In the first case, this poem has already been heard, and he is "quoting" Concubine Lou's poem to persuade King Ning.

In the second case, the poem has not yet been heard, and it is "original" by itself. No problem!

Who knows that there is a third situation, Concubine Lou has already made this poem, but it is only seen by a few people in the palace.

When Concubine Lou saw Xu Jin's expression, her face suddenly sank, and she said coldly: "Xu Jin, don't say it's just a coincidence, although I am a woman, I am not so easy to fool." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, if there was no reasonable explanation, I am afraid that I would not want to leave today, his mind was racing rapidly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he said "panickedly": "Strictly speaking, this poem is indeed not composed under the next, but I didn't expect it to happen to be in the same place with the poem of the princess Niangniang." ”

Concubine Lou said suspiciously: "What do you mean?" ”

"This poem was dreamed of while dreaming!" After Xu Jin finished speaking, he was so embarrassed that he blushed.

Concubine Lou was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes were cold, and she said angrily: "Okay, you Xu Jin, really think that this princess is a foolish woman who can be deceived at will!" Someone ...... coming."

Xu Jin hurriedly said: "Wait, princess, please listen to the next talk!" ”

Fluttershy, the servant, said angrily, "What else is there to say, you little scholar who doesn't know what to do, I pleaded for you in front of the princess, who knew that you were a clever guy." ”

Xu Jin smiled bitterly: "Miss Fluttershy, you really didn't deceive the princess in Xia, can you let you finish speaking?" ”

Concubine Lou waved out the two palace guards who rushed in with a calm face, and said coldly: "Okay, let's finish your words." This princess is not an unreasonable person, as long as you answer truthfully, this princess will not embarrass you and send someone to send you out of the palace. If you dare to fool again, this princess will order someone to stick you forty times and put you back in prison. ”

"Yes, tell me honestly, did the Fei family install eyeliner in the palace, did you hear about the princess's poem from the mouth of the Fei family?"

Although the handmaid Fluttershy has a strong voice, her words are undoubtedly reminding Xu Jin.

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, why did he get involved with the Fei family?

Concubine Lou couldn't help but move when she saw Xu Jin's stunned expression, in fact, she also suspected that there was eyeliner in the palace, but looking at Xu Jin's reaction at this time, it didn't seem to be the case, if Xu Jin deliberately made this kind of expression, then this little scholar's city mansion was too terrible.

Xu Jin sighed and said: "Whether there is Fei Shi's eyeliner in King Ning's mansion, I really don't know if I am in Xia, but this poem is indeed dreamed of in Xia, not from other places, if the princess doesn't believe it, there is another half of the poem here, is the princess interested in listening to it?" ”

Concubine Lou hesitated: "Let's read it and listen to it!" ”

Xu Jin glanced left and right, and said mysteriously: "This half of the poem should not be known to others, Xu Jin should write it down and show it to the princess!" ”

Concubine Lou became more and more curious, ordered her subordinates to take pen and ink, and retreated the surrounding maids and eunuchs to the door, and said lightly: "You write!" ”

Xu Jin wrote two poems on the paper: Draw the old picture of the tiger slaying the dragon and sighing, and the blood book is the phoenix's eyes withered.

Concubine Lou's face was as pale as paper on the spot......
