Chapter 31: The Close Eunuch

Previous Chapter

After a while, Concubine Runniang came out of the inner room and sat on the main hall. Qin Lun saluted Concubine Run, and Concubine Run gave her a seat.

Concubine Run's age is about twenty-five or sixteen, and she can still be seen from her appearance to be a Korean, with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and the bridge of her nose is also very collapsed, and the only advantage is probably that she has fair skin.

Concubine Runfei smiled: "The first time my sister came, there was nothing for my sister in this palace." But seeing that my sister doesn't have much jewelry, there is a box of jewelry here, so you can take it. ”

Qin Lun hurriedly got up and excused himself: "How can Qin Guan be virtuous, how can he accept such a valuable gift from his mother when they meet for the first time?"

Concubine Runfei smiled: "It's not worth anything, you can take it, even if you don't wear it, you can keep it for reward." ”

Qin Lun thought to himself, this Concubine Runniang is a princess of Goryeo, so naturally she is not short of money, but she is so generous today, is this to buy her own rhythm? But Qin Lun didn't dare to brush off Concubine Run's good intentions, so he had to save face for her.

Qin Lun was in trouble, but Minzhu had already presented the jewelry. Qin Lun was in a dilemma, and finally had to bow down and say: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that Qin Lun doesn't bring these with him every day, don't waste good things." Why don't you give me something else? ”

After hearing this, Concubine Run's face immediately showed embarrassment, but she still endured her temperament and asked, "Then what do you say this palace should reward you?"

Qin Lun thought about it, and replied tremblingly: "Then please ask Concubine Runniang to reward me with some exquisite snacks, the concubine is a useless person, and she has no intention of anything else, but she is very concerned about this 'eating'." ”

Concubine Runfei smiled: "What's so difficult about this, Xiuzhu, Minzhu, you go to the small kitchen and get some rice cakes unique to our Goryeo for Qin Guiren to take back and taste." ”

Qin Lun knelt down and thanked Concubine Run, then withdrew from the Shangqing Palace, and when he went out, he wiped the sweat on his head, it was really dangerous.

As soon as Qin Lun left on his front foot, Minzhu leaned into Concubine Run's ear and said, "Niangniang, do you say that this Qin nobleman is really stupid or fake?"

Concubine Runfei twisted a piece of rice cake and said with a smile: "No matter whether she is really stupid or fake stupid, if she is a shameless person, this palace will tell her to suffer first." ”

As she spoke, Concubine Runfei called Minzhu to come over and instructed her a few words, and Minzhu nodded and went to do it.

On the way back, Curly Cao said: "This Concubine Runniang is really rich, and when I meet my young lady for the first time, I can come up with such a valuable gift, it seems that I don't have to worry about money to live in this palace!"

Qin Lun smiled and immediately retorted to her: "What do you know? There are rich and poor people everywhere in this world, and the palace is no exception, Concubine Run's mother was originally a princess of Goryeo, it can be said that Goryeo is the power of the country to provide her stability in the palace, who can have her other concubines?"

"Why didn't the young lady accept those gifts? Anyway, Concubine Run, she has money. ”

"You know money, money, money, money

The curly grass hadn't fully reacted, but Lianzhu suddenly remembered something, and asked Qin Lun: "Speaking of which, I don't know anything, yesterday the emperor asked Miss if there are people around her who know how to split silk and ivory, why doesn't Miss return to the emperor, Curly grass will." If the curly grass can repair the mat for the emperor, won't the young lady also have a light on her face?"

Qin Lun said with a smile: "Lianzhu, you also said it, I have a light on my face after making up for it, if the curly grass doesn't have that ability, how can I say that I can't make it up?"

Curly grass interjected: "Who said I can't make up for it?

Qin Lun shook his head, and turned to the curly grass again: "Even if you make it up, there are so many concubines in the palace, you have seen it in the morning, Meng Guifei and Hu Guifei can fight back and forth for the ivory silk splitting fan." If you say that you will split the ivory, then the people in this palace will take the ivory today and tell you to make this, and tomorrow she will take the ivory and tell you to make that and roll the grass, will you still have time to serve me then?"

Curly grass helped Qin Lun and nodded approvingly, Qin Lun was not unreasonable.

Qin Lun crossed a threshold and continued: "If that's the case, it doesn't hurt if you're tired, but I can still call Lianzhu and Song Xi." It's just that there are a lot of things that come and go, and you always have to talk to them a few words, so it's easy to give birth to side things. Let's be a newcomer, it's better to have more than one thing and one thing less. ”

Curly grass didn't speak for a long time, turned around a palace wall, and asked Qin Lun again: "Then how did the young lady predict that Rong Guiren would be planted today? Why didn't I see it!"

Qin Lun glanced at Lianzhu with a smile: "You come and tell her." ”

Lianzhu said with a smile: "Yesterday, she and the little master of my family asked the queen to say goodbye late, and today she went so early, isn't this invisibly reminding the queen that she went late yesterday? It's better that my young lady doesn't go early or late, just right. ”

Juan Cao continued to ask suspiciously: "The queen is okay to say, but why is Meng Guifei's words going to Rong Guiren today? They knew each other before? Shouldn't Meng Guifei be at odds with Miss?"

Qin Lun said with a smile: "The gun shoots the first bird, that noble person is leaning against the big tree of the Queen Mother to enjoy the shade, but in this harem, not everyone may obey this big tree, the more anxious she wants to show herself, the more people who come first want to suppress her." Meng Guifei was afraid that she would not be able to suppress it in the future, so she deliberately gave her a dismissal today. ”

"I see. Only then did Curly Grass gradually come to his senses.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the gate of Chuxiu Palace, Qin Lun suddenly stopped and said: "Rong Guiren is in a bad mood today, if I go back at this moment, I will stare at her in the palace, it will be difficult to ensure that she will not spill her anger on my head." Why don't you two accompany me to the Imperial Garden, and then go back quietly when it's time for lunch. ”

Lianzhu nodded and said, "It's okay." I just don't know how to get to the Imperial Garden? ”

Curly grass also shook his head: "I don't know either." ”

Qin Lun smiled: "Look at the two of you, why don't you just find someone who knows the way to lead the way." ”

Lianzhu said: "Yes, I'll go and call the little eunuch Deshun'er in our palace, I asked him to move a few things yesterday, and see that he is still doing things neatly." ”

After a while, De Shun'er rushed to lead the way, and Qin Lun smoothly turned to the place with the most beautiful scenery in the Imperial Garden. When Qin Lun saw the picturesque scenery, his mood immediately improved, and he was willing to say a few more words to the people around him.

"Deshun'er, how old are you today, how long have you been in this palace?" Qin Lun asked.

De Shun'er lowered her eyebrows and lowered her hand and replied: "I am seventeen today, and I have been in the palace for five years." ”

"Then which palace are you from?"

"Back to the little master, I was originally a sweeper in the palace of the noble Qian, but unfortunately the noble Qian died of tuberculosis at the beginning of this year. ”

When Curly Cao heard this, he hurriedly covered his nose with a handkerchief and said, "It's really unlucky!"

Qin Lun smiled: "That's not for you." You entered the palace at such a young age, is there anyone else in the family?"

"There is also an old lady at home, and my brother takes care of her. ”

Qin Lun asked, this Deshun'er's background is quite clean, and he looks refreshing, so he intends to cultivate him, and said with a smile: "I first came to this palace, and there is a lack of a close eunuch, so you can do it." ”
