Chapter 30: Southern Xinjiang Has Secrets
Ling Haoyue said goodbye to Wen Mohan, walked towards Chaohua Palace, walked to the rockery, and stretched out a hand from behind her to pull her into the rockery. As soon as Qingdai saw a flower in front of her eyes, Ling Haoyue disappeared.
Today is a banquet held by the imperial concubine, and Ling Haoyue only brought Qing Dai out. In broad daylight, for no reason, people are gone, but the green daisy is in a hurry.
"County Lord!" Qing Dai's heart tightened, and while calling her, she poked into the rockery cave. Who is so bold as to dare to kidnap people in the palace!
At this time, Ling Haoyue was in the gap in the middle of the rockery, looking at the person in front of her.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Qi Yan looked at the demure girl in front of him, the wind was light, her face did not change, and she did not see a little panic at all. Was she sure he wouldn't do anything to her!
Ling Haoyue waited for a moment, but saw Qi Yan looking at her in a daze, thoughtful, but never spoke.
But Qingdai outside was in a panic, and she couldn't see anything in the dark inside the rockery.
"County Lord, where are you? County Lord!" Qing Dai called out loudly.
"Tell your maid to be quiet. Qi Yan said coldly. He pulled her into the rockery because he didn't want outsiders to be present, and if Qingdai spoke so loudly again, he would have to attract the nearby guards.
Ling Haoyue saw that he seemed to have something to say to himself alone, and this master acted strangely, so she followed him.
"Qingdai, I'm fine, you just stay there. ”
Hearing that there was nothing abnormal in the master's reply, Qing Dai's heart settled down a little, looked around, and then said cautiously: "The slave and maid are waiting here, and the county lord will call the slave and maid if you have something." ”
"Your Highness, what the hell is the matter with you? "It's been a while since she's out, it's time for her to go back.
The gap in the rockery was extremely small, the two of them could barely squeeze together, his breathing was clearly visible in his ears, Ling Haoyue felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't want to stay here.
The corners of Qi Yan's lips hooked up a faint smile: "Your girl is cautious, but she met a bold master." ”
Ling Haoyue looked at him and said lightly, "What do you mean?"
Qi Yan looked at her bright eyes and said, "I don't remember what you said just now." ”
Oops, Fang Cai's words must have been listened to by him, Ling Haoyue's heart jumped.
"Your Highness wants to go to the emperor to sue me?" looked at him with a pretty face, his deep eyes full of vigilance and unyielding.
What if you hear it, even if it is in front of the emperor, a prince of another country has no evidence, the emperor will definitely not believe it, with the emperor's suspicious nature, I am afraid that he will think that Qi Yan has the intention to get involved in the politics of the Western Qin Dynasty!
Ling Haoyue's eyes fell on Qi Yan's eyes, and he couldn't help but be in a trance. The gap in the cave was narrow, and the light was not very bright, but the light in her eyes was so clear.
This scene seems familiar.
After coming back to his senses for a moment, Qi Yan said in a cold voice: "What are you doing with the affairs of the court!"
"My matter of Western Qin, what does it matter to you as the sixth prince of Southern Qi!" Ling Haoyue sneered.
"Ling Haoyue, listen, it is Qi Yan who is standing in front of you now, I advise you, don't get involved in the affairs of southern Xinjiang, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Southern Xinjiang is adjacent to Western Qin and Southern Qi, is there any secret in it? Ling Haoyue was silent.
"There are secrets in Southern Xinjiang?"
"You are so self-conscious!" Qi Yan said and left without looking back, as if he hadn't heard her question.
Ling Haoyue gritted her teeth, if you don't say it, then I'll check it myself!
……
Ling Haoyue returned to the main hall of Chaohua Palace, and just walked to the door, but she was caught off guard.
"The county lord spared his life, the slave didn't mean it. The maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The palace maid was holding a teacup in her hand, and when she hit it, the water sprinkled Ling Haoyue's skirt.
Ling Haoyue's eyes flashed slightly, she had never walked around this palace very often, and this palace maid recognized who she was at a glance.
"What's the matter with you girl, the county lord's skirt is wet, what are you doing!" Qing Dai scolded.
"The county lord spared his life, the slave didn't mean it, the county lord spared the slave and the maid. The palace maid kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy, kowtowed three times in a row, and saw red directly on her forehead.
At this time, the county lord of Mingfang came over from behind and said, "Yo, the county lord of Haoyue, where did this palace maid provoke you, kowtow so loudly, look at this forehead is bleeding!" The voice was not small, enough to reach the main hall.
"Lord Haoyue, it's not Mingfang who said you, this is Chaohua Palace, the palace maid made a mistake, and she has her own imperial concubine Niangniang to deal with it, Haoyue County Lord does this, but it seems that he doesn't take Niangniang in his eyes!"
Qing Dai couldn't see that the county lord of Mingfang was sowing discord and ruining the reputation of his master, so she immediately stood up and said to the palace maid: "The county lord never said a word from beginning to end, let alone kowtowed, but you directly knocked blood out of your forehead, you are deliberately trying to slander the county lord." ”
"Presumptuous!" Lord Mingfang said angrily, "You are a little palace maid, how can you have the right to speak when the master speaks!"
After speaking, she glanced at Ling Haoyue again, and said, "Lord Haoyue, the girl next to you doesn't know the rules!" When she said this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, this is the gate of Chaohua Palace, she must have heard what she said just now, and in the future, who will think that Ling Haoyue is knowledgeable.
"Qing Dai, don't retreat yet, the county lord of Mingfang said that you broke the etiquette in the palace, it seems that the county lord should tell the queen mother, the palace maid next to her should learn the rules!" Ling Haoyue said slowly.
Qing Dai curtsied, lowered her eyebrows and replied: "The slave knows her mistake, the slave and the maid have served by the queen mother's side for many years, so she was in a hurry for a while, and lost her etiquette, so she begged the county lord to forgive the slave and the maid once, and the slave and maid will never do it again in the future." ”
Ling Haoyue smiled and said, "Get up, you are the big palace maid next to the Queen Mother, the female official in the palace, you must pay attention to your identity in your words and deeds." ”
"Yes, slave maid understands!" Qingdai also laughed. She is the big palace maid next to the queen mother, and the palace maid under the lesson is also etiquette, so the accusation of the county lord of Mingfang is a big joke.
Lord Mingfang's face turned red, how could she forget that the person next to Ling Haoyue might be the Queen Mother! Looking at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, she was about to say something, but was interrupted by someone who came out of the hall.
"Two county lords, Niangniang invites the two county lords into the palace. Dew smiled and saluted the two. There was a lot of movement at the door just now, and someone had already told the imperial concubine about the matter.
The county lord of Mingfang originally wanted to say something more, but for now, she could only give up and take the lead first, she didn't like to fall behind Ling Haoyue the most.
Ling Haoyue just didn't see it, for a temperament like Lord Mingfang, it would be a waste of energy to be serious with her.
looked at the dew drops and said, "This palace maid is from Chaohua Palace?"
Dew looked at it and said, "It's the second-class palace maid who serves Niangniang's tea." ”
Ling Haoyue said with a smile: "Miss Dewdrop has a good memory. After saying that, he walked straight in, and didn't look at the palace maid again.
Dew Drop was stunned for a moment, this is the end? Doesn't she dispose of the lotus?
Ling Haoyue walked into the hall and saluted the imperial concubine.
"Niangniang, Fang is Qingdai making a fuss and disturbing Niangniang. "Ling Haoyue confessed first as soon as she came, obviously talking about Qingdai, but in fact, she was referring to the county lord of Mingfang.
"Where did the county lord say, but the girl in the palace was careless, and the county lord was shocked. The imperial concubine smiled, and suddenly said: "Come on, pull Caihe down and beat ten boards to make her have a long memory." ”
Ling Haoyue smiled silently, but there were always people who couldn't sit still.
"Lord Haoyue, that palace maid just now collided with you, you see that your skirt is soaked, so you just forget it?" If someone dared to splash her skirt with water, she would definitely kill her, and she didn't believe that Ling Haoyue, the county lord who was so petted, would let her go so easily.
Lord Mingfang didn't see the slightly cold eyes of the imperial concubine above.
Ling Haoyue didn't raise her eyelids, and said lightly: "The palace maids of Chaohua Palace have their own mothers to deal with, are you saying that the mothers are unfair?"
"You!" Lord Mingfang was speechless, this is Chaohua Palace, not his own. His eyes secretly skimmed towards the imperial concubine, and a chill hit, and the county lord of Mingfang knew what disaster came from his mouth.
He smiled and said, "The county lord said casually, since the county lord didn't say anything, Ming Fang is nosy." ”
You just knew!" Ling Haoyue said in her heart.
"Haoyue, your skirt is wet, it just so happens that the Shangyi Bureau has made a few new clothes, this palace looks at it and matches you, it is some distance from Shou'an Palace, it is better for the county lord to change it in Chaohua Palace." ”
Ling Haoyue owed: "Haoyue, thank you." ”
Then he followed the palace maid into the inner room to change clothes. Qing Dai waited cautiously beside her, even if she changed her clothes, she was also waiting for her to change her clothes.
Ling Haoyue changed her clothes and ordered, "Qing Dai, wrap the previous skirt and bring it with you." "There are too many tricks in this palace, so be careful.
"Yes, the county lord is relieved. Qing Dai was smart, and immediately understood Ling Haoyue's thoughts, wrapped the skirt, and carefully held it in her hand.
When he returned to the main hall, there were more people than before, and Wen Qingyao was also sitting in the banquet.
"The palace said that such a fresh color should be worn on the body of the young girl of the county lord. The imperial concubine laughed.
Ling Haoyue, who walked into the hall, was dressed in a blue emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, and a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil.
Fold the waist to micro-step, showing the wrist in the light yarn. The eyes are full of spring water and clear waves, and a hollow golden hairpin is obliquely inserted in the bun on the head, decorated with a little purple jade, and the tassel is sprinkled on the green silk.
Ling Haoyue said with a smile: "Niangniang said that she was laughing......"
The fragrant jade is tender and delicate, and the fingers are like cutting the root of the onion, such as containing Zhu Dan, and the smile is moving.
But as soon as the words fell, Ling Haoyue suddenly felt dizzy, her legs were weak, and she could barely stand on her feet.
"County Lord......" Qing Dai's eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
