Chapter 641 Interesting Facts
For Song Guifei always showing off the emperor's favor to her, although Lan Xin slandered in her heart, she did not show it on her face. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she bowed her head elegantly and dignifiedly: "Thank you, Concubine Niangniang!" ”
Not humble or arrogant, etiquette and thoughtfulness, so that people can't find any fault.
Song Guifei looked at the quiet smiling face and felt powerless, but she felt a little unwilling. His eyes turned, and he swept to Gonggong Wu, who was standing at the door, holding things for Lan Xin, and said with a smile: "Lord Lan Xin has just entered the palace, and many rules have not had time to figure out yet.
Duke Wu was ordered to go to Jiangzhou to pick up the county lord to come to Beijing, and when he returned to the palace, he handed over the decree to the emperor. I'm willing to pick a few people from the palace and give them to the county lord. I'm afraid that the county lord will dislike them for being clumsy. ”
Although Song Guifei's words were beautiful, the meaning was obvious, that is, Lan Xin didn't understand the rules, and she was secretly crazy that she didn't understand the rules.
This person is really used to being top-notch, and if he doesn't step on people's sore spots, he just feels unwilling. But when I thought about it, when I was in Changle Palace, the Song family hated Gonggong Wu to the emperor.
Lan Xin gently shook the teacup in his hand, looked at the tea soup in the cup gently rippling, and said with a smile: "The people trained by the concubine are naturally smart. ”
Glancing at Gonggong Wu not far away, he continued: "The emperor is sympathetic to Lan Xin's first visit to the palace, and there is naturally one less person in charge of affairs in the Lingbo Palace, so he transferred Gonggong Wu over. ”
The emperor actually asked Gonggong Wu to go to Lingbo Hall to be a steward eunuch?! The crowd was not calm again. Even the queen glanced at Lan Xin thoughtfully. Not to mention, what is the status of the Duke Wu in front of the emperor in front of him, it is too unusual for the emperor to personally inquire about this matter.
Lan Xin indifferently sipped the tea soup in the cup, unaware of the eyes around him. The corner of her eyes swept to the handkerchief that Song Guiren stirred in her hand, and a trace of ridicule flashed in her eyes, if she knew, Gonggong Wu would be able to come to this Lingbo Palace, and it was the Song family who contributed to the trouble. I don't know, will I be so angry that I vomit blood.

Lan Xin was lying on the soft couch with his eyes slightly squinted, looking drowsy.
Hongxuan sat on the brocade next to her and wiped her hair with a clean cotton handkerchief. I just bathed and my hair was scented with wisteria dew.
Mama Zhen held the beauty hammer and gently tapped the acupuncture points on her body for Lan Xin.
The breeze blows, bringing a faint lotus fragrance, refreshing and refreshing.
Lan Xin opened his eyes, and through the open window, he happened to see a corner of the lotus pond outside. The turquoise leaves are neatly laid out on the water, and the pink lotus flowers spit out yellow stamens, swaying in the wind.
The stout willow tree on the shore, stretching its turquoise branches, danced in the wind, graceful.
"That row of willows, it's been a year, isn't it?" Lan Xin asked softly.
"That's what the county lord said." Mama Zhen smiled and said, "I heard from the people in the palace that when the Lingbo Hall was built, that row of willow trees had been carried for more than ten years. Now I count it, how to say that it has been seventy or eighty years. ”
"No wonder the branches are so thick." Lan Xin sighed softly. Looking up at the furnishings in the house, they are all things that I am used to, and when I went out before, I never seemed to be so exquisite. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she said with a smile: "Mama has worked hard!" ”
Mama Zhen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Now that the identity of the county lord is different, there should still be pomp and circumstance." "Lest they be looked down upon.
"Hmm!" Lan Xin nodded in agreement, "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful." Grandpa Wu's side, has Mama arranged it? ”
Mama Zhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, the county lord has already made arrangements." Moreover, Gonggong Wu has lived in the palace for a long time, and the rules are naturally understood. ”
Lan Xin raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned, and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Wu is willing to give a few more words for the sake of grandma's face." However, we must not be ignorant of the importance and lose our dignity. ”
"Don't worry, the old slave has a sense of proportion." Mama Zhen nodded in agreement. After thinking about it, he continued, "When the county lord went to Changle Palace, the old slave went to the queen mother's palace to kowtow and thank you. The Queen Mother Lafayette arranged for Mama Gui to send the old slave back.
Mama Gui said that in the backyard of our Lingbo Palace, there is a small kitchen. We can make our own fire, ingredients or something, and just talk to the purchasing steward of the imperial dining room. When they go out to shop, they will bring it back together. ”
Lan Xin pondered for a moment and asked, "The Queen Mother Lafayette is there, but she also fired herself?" Without waiting for Mama Zhen to speak, Lan Xin continued, "Forget it." Go and tell Mama Gui that we don't have to fire ourselves.
There shouldn't be a few of those ladies in the palace who can have a small kitchen in their palace. However, the kitchenette does not have to be closed. It's good to keep it for a snack or something. ”
"That's what the county lord said." Mama Zhen smiled and nodded, obviously, she also disagreed with her own fire, "The palace of the queen mother and the concubine mother, as well as the palace of several favored concubines, also has a small kitchen. However, at most, it is to make a snack, boil water to make tea, or heat a soup or something. ”
Lan Xin nodded lightly, "I want to come to the Queen Mother, Lafayette, this is because I am worried that we are new to the palace and will not be used to eating the things in the palace." As soon as the conversation changed, she said with a smile, "However, when it comes to the food in the palace, it reminds me of the crystal grapes. ”
Then, Lan Xin told the two of them about eating crystal grapes in Changle Palace and Cining Palace.
"And such a strange thing?" Hongxuan covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Slave and maid, remember that the bigger the grape, the sweeter it is. ”
"But this crystal grape is an exception?" "The Crystal Vineyard is located in the western corner of the palace and is tended by a special person. But where it is, few people in the palace say it clearly.
Unlike other grapes, this one takes up to two years to ripen. The fruit is ripe, crystal clear and gives off a special aroma. Strangely, the aroma disappears when you take it off.
It is said that this grape is the seed left behind by a strange man. Not only can you quench your thirst, but you can also prolong your life! ”
"That's what Mama said. This crystal grape is so precious that not everyone can eat it. Hongxuan asked suspiciously.
Mama Zhen nodded and said, "Yes! In this palace, only the master above the concubine position has a share. ”
Hongxuan smiled and shook her head, "It's really strange that the people in this palace like to eat such sour things." ”
