"Good. He Linwan curled the corners of his mouth, "Where are you going now?" I'll send you out, and then I'll go back to Wenzhen Palace." ”

Li Yu shook his head, "You go out with you, you haven't walked through this secret passage before, don't come down alone." ”

He Linwan thought about it and didn't insist, and took Li Yu's hand and turned into another forked secret passage in front.

They didn't go far from the Wenzhen Palace, so it didn't take too long to return to the Wenzhen Hall from the secret passage.

"It's here. He Linwan stopped at an exit, "This should lead to the back garden of Wenzhen Palace." ”

He Linwan originally wanted to enter the secret passage from this secret passage in the back garden after teaching Chunyang, but he didn't want Li Yu to suddenly appear, He Linwan was afraid that Li Yu would have any plans here, so he fled with him.

This secret passage is open under a rockery in the back garden, and the location is very secret, and the two of them are simply unaware when they come out of the secret passage.

He Linwan was about to say goodbye to Li Yu and leave, but was stopped by Li Yu.

"Wait, I'll be right back. ”

He Linwan didn't know what Li Yu was going to do, but he still nodded and hid back in the rockery.

Li Yu soon came back and handed He Linwan a burden, He Linwan opened it and found that it was a set of clothes and a set of her own clothes.

"You change and come out again, I'll watch you outside. After Li Yu finished speaking, he turned around and went out.

He Linwan didn't see Li Yu when she came out after changing her clothes, but she knew that Li Yu definitely hadn't left yet, and she didn't ask Li Yu to show up, but walked out calmly.

At this moment, the Wenzhen Hall has become a mess, and the ladies who are familiar with each other gather in twos and threes to whisper.

Although Chunyang's palace maid persuaded all the people inside just now, and Chunyang avoided people when he was saved and left, but because the movement was too big, how could a place like the palace easily hide the news?

So many people knew that Princess Chunyang was embarrassed by a draft woman, and the ladies who were being checked by the palace people with He Linwan just now were a little scared after learning about it, and secretly complained that Princess Chunyang was too nonsense.

He Linwan walked to the courtyard where he lived and found that the other three people living in the same courtyard were also gathered in the courtyard to talk, and even Xue Wanqing was present.

He Zhen was the first to see He Linwan, and hurriedly ran over, pulled her and said, "Big sister! I thought something had happened to you! Just scared me to death!"

Mu Lanping also walked over quickly, looked at He Linwan and said, "Sister He, where did you go just now? We are looking for you everywhere! Huh, why are your clothes ......?"

Mu Lanping paused, and looked at He Linwan with a surprised face.

He Linwan's face remained unchanged, "My clothes are dirty, so I found a place to change my clothes, and I delayed some work." ”

Xue Wanqing walked over and looked at the clothes on He Linwan's body, although there were some doubts in her eyes, but she didn't ask, she just said, "Miss He is okay, right?" I heard some movement next door before, and I originally wanted to come out to take a look, but I was stopped by my grandmother, and then I was taken out with others. ”

He Linwan shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm fine, thank you Miss Xue for remembering." ”

Mu Lanping looked at them and asked in a low voice, "Sister He, the person who was embarrassed by Princess Chunyang just now couldn't be you, right?" I heard that it was the room next door to Miss Xue that had an accident."

He Linwan was about to speak, but a grandmother walked in with two palace maids.

"Who is He Linwan?" asked the grandmother who looked up with an expressionless face.

He Zhen looked at them and pulled He Linwan's sleeve a little nervously.

He Linwan walked out, "I am." ”

Mama looked at her a few times, and asked coldly, "Where was Miss He just now?"

He Zhen leaned over and whispered, "Big sister, when you didn't come back just now, the housekeeper came to look for you." ”

He Linwan smiled and said, "My clothes were dirty just now, so I found a place to change my clothes." ”

"In which palace and in which room did you change your clothes?, can anyone testify for you?" Mama's sharp eyes stared at He Linwan tightly, not letting go of any subtle expression on her face.

He Linwan said calmly: "It is the right hall of Wenzhen Palace, and the first room on the left. The witnesses......"

At this moment, Chunxiao, who had just been nowhere to be seen, ran back panting, still holding a burden in her hand.

"Girl, why did you go so fast, the slave maid just almost left your jade ring in the hall on the right, so she had to turn around and get it back. ”

Only then did everyone realize that the burden Chunxiao was holding in her hand was actually the clothes He Linwan had changed into.

He Linwan smiled and said to the grandmother: "For some reason, there was no one on duty on the right side of the hall just now, only my maid can testify for me." ”

Why was there no one on duty? Of course, he was sent away by the people of Chunyang.

The grandmother obviously knew this, she looked at He Linwan and then at Chunxiao, and then said expressionlessly: "Concubine De Niangniang summoned you, come with me." ”

He Linwan didn't look embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "It's my honor to summon Concubine De to me......?" I wonder if you have a mother's will?"

Mama's face sank, "What's the matter! Concubine De still can't summon you a little show girl?"

He Linwan hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that! It's just that I heard from Mama that during the election of the show girl in the palace, she could only leave the Wenzhen Palace if she received the express order of a few palace maidens. I'm just afraid that I don't know the rules and will accidentally break the palace rules. ”

Mama couldn't help but choke.

In fact, He Linwan is right, the palace has its own rules in the palace, although the show girls have entered the palace, but in order to avoid some bad things from damaging the royal face, they can't leave the Wenzhen Palace when they are idle.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was just founded, the rules in the palace were not so strict, and the emperor had a draft when a show girl had a private meeting with the guards she knew, but the show girl was finally selected to fill the harem, and the incident happened because she was found to be pregnant before the emperor did not have the honor of the show girl.

Since then, even if a high-ranking concubine wants to summon a certain show girl, she has to make a clear decree stamped with her palace seal, and the verbal edict is not enough.

Of course, many years have passed since that incident, and the current imperial palace is not as loose as it was at the beginning of the founding of the country, and it is impossible for such a ridiculous thing as the guards cuckolding the emperor again. A favorite concubine like Concubine De, who has the power to control the palace, can ignore this old palace rule if she wants to summon a show girl, but the palace rules are palace rules after all, and before they are abolished, in principle, even the queen should abide by them.
