The fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month of the first year of Yongshao.

Early in the morning, the East Palace received visits from envoys from all walks of life, officials from other provinces, and women of Beijing officials asking to see the famous brand.

The prince went to the court, the house was lit with soothing incense, and Ling Xiang slept until three o'clock in the sun before getting up.

Guo Xianchen said: "Niangniang, Grandma Chen, who you have allowed to enter the palace, came early in the morning and brought a few girls from Niangniang's family to come together, and the slave did not dare to alarm Niangniang, so she invited her to serve tea at Mrs. Lu's place. ”

Mrs. Lu, who is the Lu family, expressed her willingness to stay in the East Palace after leaving the court, and Ling Xiang gave her a personal female official.

Since Mrs. Yasukuni came to the East Palace to make trouble, Guo Xianchen has become more and more effective, acting more assertive than Wei Jin, and making proper arrangements.

A farce between Chu Qikun and Gong Xianyang Hall came to an end, the lord of Dingtao County fell off the horse, the middle palace was ruthlessly faced, the people outside were unknown, but the hearts of the palace were like mirrors. The crown prince acted vigorously and forcefully, and stood up for the concubine, but made the queen bow her head and submit to softness, even if the prince left the palace for a few days, Liangdi's reward here has not been broken, who can't see the direction of the wind?

What's more, when the prince returned to the palace yesterday and saw Liangdi, the palace maids blushed when they thought about it.

Cai Concubine Tu Pearl was more attentive in panic, Cheng Miaoer seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and most of the rest of the palace people were also relaxed.

Ling Xiang guessed that the queen had already warned these palace maids against her favor, but everyone must have their own plans in their hearts. Now that the queen is no longer able to meddle in the East Palace in the open, she doesn't need to be double-faced and stabbed, so she breathes a sigh of relief.

Relatives have already arrived in Beijing. In the few days that the prince was not in the palace, Lian also took them to ask to see them, but in order to avoid suspicion, Ling Makeup refused all of them, and only made various pills and potions in the pharmacy every day.

Xiao Bisheng is newly married, the prince redoubled his enthusiasm last night, and he felt lazy when he got up in the morning. Leaning on the bed and listening to Guo Xianchen carefully read the woman who handed the sign to ask to see, except for Ye Yufeng and Pindi, the rest of the servants said that they were unwell.

After the palace people served the master and got up. Several people followed the Shangyi Bureau into the Xinuan Pavilion.

In the inverted room in front of the Qingque Palace, there were still many official wives waiting, and in contrast, Ye Yufeng was extremely happy. Come in with a spring breeze on your face. Before he could speak, he had already grinned.

Ling Makeup took a look, and after leaving the Shen family for nearly a year, Pindi was smoking strips, and his skin was also watery, no longer the yellow-skinned bean sprouts that he looked like in Silk Mansion that day.

Wen Qin and Shi Xiao have been learning the palace rules recently, and they are obviously a little restrained when they meet.

Pindi raised his face and looked at his master with adoration. The eyebrows are beautiful, and it makes people happy when they look at it.

Ling Makeup was waiting to be greeted. But seeing the picture pearl approaching with his head down, he squatted down slightly to present the bird's nest soup, his heart moved, he reached out to pick it up, and gently raised his hand to touch it.

With a "bang", the juice splashed, and the porcelain cup and bird's nest soup were scattered all over the ground.

Tu Pearl suddenly panicked, and hurriedly prostrated on the ground and kept kowtowing: "The slave was careless, and I startled the mother, begging the mother for forgiveness......"

Ling Xiang stared at her trembling body, but she also felt pitiful.

Obviously, the master is deliberate, and the unlucky one is always the slave, and it turns out that when a person reaches a certain status, it is so easy to reverse right and wrong.

Yesterday, after a conversation with Shangguan You, Ling Jiao became more aware of the situation, and acted decisively, "I knew that your heart was not here, it happened that Mrs. Lu was transferred from the court two days ago, and she should have arrived, so you can go." ”

The chamberlains Xu Qian and Lu Luo were quick with their hands and feet, and in a blink of an eye, they cleaned up the master's feet.

When the eunuchs on duty Cao Lie and Xie Fuchu heard Liangdi's words, they couldn't allow Tu Pearl to speak again, so they gambled on her mouth and forked it out.

Ling Makeup looked sideways at the few Gong E's standing in the room, Cheng Miao'er combed her hair well, and knew how to advance and retreat, Deng Xiuxiang's good marriage Yang Shuxiu once told her in 1510, Ling Makeup thought about her behavior, unlike any tough backers, you can also stay, if you add a pindi, Wenqin and a flute, only one of the remaining three Gong E's can be left.

Several palace ladies saw that the master kept looking at them, and after a little notice, they all knelt on the ground and begged with a wail: "Niangniang is gracious, please be gracious ...... Niangniang"

After observing it coldly for a while, Ling Makeup could naturally detect one or two, pointed at two of them, and waved his hand lightly outward.

Gong'e was still crying and begging, Lu Xiaoxu waited for him, took one on the left and right, and dragged him out quietly.

The remaining one is named Wan Zhu'er, who is still a half-old child, and he is the last one in the ranking of the poor palace, and he is so frightened that he can't stop shaking.

Ling Xiang said lightly to her, "Get up." ”

Wanzhu'er Shane stood up, her body still shaking.

Guo Xianchen glanced at his master's face, and said in a raised voice: "Niangniang left you, and you will be a solid errand in the future, and be smart." ”

Wan Zhu'er came back to her senses, and hurriedly kowtowed again: "The slave has written it down." ”

Ling Makeup saw that she didn't have any other fancy words, but she also admired it, and casually took a golden cicada hairpin flower from the dressing table, and said softly: "I've rewarded you." ”

Wan Zhu'er was surprised and delighted, and for a while she couldn't understand why Tu Zhu and the others were sent to the court, but she was rewarded, and took the golden cicada to thank her, but she saw that Tu Zhu was dragged by the people of the palace Zhengsi across the Hanzhang Hall to the direction of Xinei with tears in her eyes. She stared at the resentful but didn't dare to make a sound, and then spread out her hand to look at the lifelike golden cicada in the palm of her hand, lowered her head and frowned in thought.

After dropping the picture pearl, Ling Xiang beckoned the three girls to approach, and asked with a smile, "Are you willing to stay in the palace?"

The three of them couldn't help nodding, glanced at each other, and Pindi said loudly: "The slaves want to follow Niangniang for the rest of their lives." ”

"Stupid words. Ling Xiang smiled and showed two pear vortices, and glanced at Guo Xianchen, "These are the maids who have been serving me closely, Pindi is the eight-rank Cai concubine, Wenqin and the waiter Xiao are the nine-grade regular attendants, and you will take them to receive Lu rice for use in a while, and settle down in the house." ”

Guo Xianchen hurriedly bowed and said: "Obey." The slave asked the people of the Shang Gong Bureau to sew a few more sets of replacement clothes for the elder sisters. ”

According to the grade, Gong E next to Liang Di is only worthy of six people, and Ling Makeup was originally over the standard by two, so it is simply clear that cronyism, and the rest of Gong E are shocked in their hearts, how dare they complain.

Ye Yufeng had been standing beside her, watching her send out palace people as she wanted, dumbfounded.

This was the first time she had seen Ling Makeup's ruthless and decisive side, and she unconsciously held her breath, and she didn't dare to breathe.

Pindi and the others were used to getting along with the girl, but they were not afraid, so they smiled and thanked the grace and stepped forward to take over the service.

Ling Xiang instructed Yang Shuxiu and the others again: "How did you assign the errands before, I will explain to them later and reassign them." ”

Everyone said yes.

Only then did Ling Xiang beckon to Ye Yufeng and said, "Sister has been standing for a long time, hurry up and come and sit." (To be continued.) )
