50_50252In Penglai Pavilion, Baoshan had just walked into the courtyard when he saw a familiar face.

Standing opposite the man, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, stepped forward and saluted, "My lord." “

Standing in front of her was a female official about forty years old, who could be regarded as a capable clerk by the empress's side.

The female officer looked at Baoshan from head to toe, and then said with a smile: "You have been in the Penglai Pavilion Flower Garden for some time. "Yes," Bao Shan didn't dare to make a mistake, looking down at his toes, but his body was motionless.

The female officer looked around the courtyard, felt extremely cold, and asked casually, "The person who lives with you"

Bao Shan hurriedly said: "The Qingzhi steward of the flower garden, and Gu Lan, another new palace maid, both of them followed the master of the flower garden and the craftsman of the construction office to the construction site of the flower garden. "His Majesty ordered the construction office to revise the drawings, and the steward of Qingzhi took someone to confirm it."

Bao Shan paused, glanced at the female official quickly, and continued: "Because she is the manager of the flower garden, she is not good at pretending to others, so she has to watch it herself to rest assured." "As for the other new palace maid," Bao Shan's eyes moved, and he hesitated slightly before saying, "There is nothing unusual for the time being." “

The female officer was very satisfied with her sensitivity and knowledge, and nodded: "Your Majesty wants to see you, don't worry, just answer the question according to what you know!" "It's appropriate to respond like that, it's good."

The female official stepped forward approvingly, patted Baoshan on the shoulder and said, "There are very few people in the palace who look away, like me, I am very optimistic about you." "You've won a prize." Bao Shan blushed and said a little shyly, "I will definitely answer carefully." "If only you understood." The female officer took a few steps behind her, and said to Baoshan, "Don't keep up yet." "It's just a matter of time, and I won't delay you from guarding the yard."

Bao Shan was a little embarrassed. Quickly answered: "There is nothing to guard." It's just that Qingzhi's steward understands me for helping her take stock of her hard work last night, and deliberately gave me half a day off today. "Oh?" The female officer stopped and looked at Baoshan. After a long silence, he spoke, "You get along well with the flower garden steward, and she takes good care of you." “

Baoshan lowered his head again and whispered: "Qingzhi is a very good steward, and it is simple to do things under her. As long as you are diligent, talk less. She just loved it. “

The female officer glanced at Baoshan noncommittally and said, "Really? “

Bao Shan nodded vigorously and followed her footsteps.

The female officer turned her head, and the two of them walked one after the other, only out of her sight. Baoshan's eyes seemed to be a different person, and every time the person in front of her looked back, she lowered her head.

Look at it from any angle. They are all polite and cautious.

Passing the main gate of Penglai Pavilion, the guards on guard glanced at the female officer and Baoshan behind her. The former smiled: "A pot of flowers placed in His Majesty's room has recently lost its leaves, take the people in the flower garden to take a look." “

The guard hurriedly saluted, "You go slowly." “

When the two people disappeared around the corner of the path in the palace, the guard looked down and thought for a while, and after a while, he looked up at the direction they were walking, and then ordered his companion, and hurried to Penglai Pavilion to find Mo Yan's steward to inform

There was a delay outside the garden, and the female officer and the guard briefly answered a few words, and then took Baoshan all the way to the empress's study.

When I arrived at the door of the study, there were several people waiting for me by the flowers under the steps.

Bao Shan looked up, and in addition to seeing several other female officials, there was also an acquaintance who had been training at the same time in the past.

Baoshan stared at each other suspiciously, and the man was looking at her with the same eyes.

The two of them looked at each other, but Bao Shan nodded first and said hello to each other.

Now that he is outside His Majesty's study, no one dares to make a mistake, and caution is the best, and there is a doubt in the eyes of that person, if it weren't for the fact that so many people are around, they will probably be able to talk.

The few female officers who were waiting saw Baoshan who was brought, and some of them showed surprised expressions, and Baoshan looked at them with great flexibility, matching the names in their minds.

The female official with Baoshan said to her: "You wait here for a while, and I will inform Your Majesty." “

A few people waited at the bottom of the steps, and no one was the first to speak, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Bao Shan had actually recognized those people a long time ago, they were all officials in the Sealand Army, and the war in the Northland was about to resume, so it was not surprising that His Majesty summoned them at this moment.

But the faces of these people are not very good-looking, one may have just heard the admonition, and the other may be that there is bad news on the front front.

Neither of these can be relaxing, so the faces waiting at the bottom of the stairs stink.

Baoshan and his former companion once again looked at each other, and for a moment they were a little stunned, looking at her would inadvertently recall the time of special training in the past.

At that time, their team was preparing for the Northland War that was not yet coming.

I have to say that the empress is far-sighted and can see a distant vision that ordinary people can't see.

In the past few years, the country and the people have been safe, and once the war starts, it will also be a trend of wind and thunder.

The battle in the north is inevitable, not only the empress, but also the princess who is entrenched in an excellent position in Sealand will not be able to sleep at night.

In the end, it was she who broke through this layer!

If you want to sit firmly on the country of Sealand and lay a solid foundation, you can't allow another force to grow bigger.

In fact, the empress has been quite indulgent to the princess of the fief over the years, and it seems to be an inexplicable and confused account, but what is the truth, who can know?

These things have something to do with Baoshan's situation.

But where everyone in the team went, they had been training hard in those years, and they didn't have time to think about it, anyway, it was not something they could say.

When he finally received the task, Baoshan was really shocked.

She thought about all possible places, but she still couldn't imagine that her new position was actually a small palace maid in the flower garden, or a palace maid who had the least voice under the steward.

At this moment, the female official who led the way was not there, and the apprehensive feelings suddenly faded, and Baoshan guessed the intention of the one in the study who asked her to come. There is a vague expectation in my heart.

I don't know what awaits her next, is it as simple as asking? Not necessarily!

Of course, I don't know what is going on in the room, but there is an undercurrent surging under the steps.

It didn't take long. The female official who came out of the empress's study swept around the crowd and looked at it condescendingly, only beckoning to Baoshan, who was waiting at the bottom of the steps, "Hurry up and go in!" ”

Bao Shan nodded, followed the female officer into the study, and walked behind her. Follow suit.

The smell of ink lingers in the room. After a few cases of Ming Huang, the Empress of Sealand sat upright.

Baoshan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the empress put down the pen in her hand. He said in a deep voice: "Get up, just stand and talk." “

With a look of trepidation on his face, Bao Shan got up as he said and stepped aside.

The Empress narrowed her eyes. Stared at her for a moment, then spoke, "You've been going to Penglai Pavilion for a few days. What I saw and heard over there, I said. “

Bao Shan hesitated for a moment, and then told him what happened after he arrived at the Penglai Pavilion Flower Garden.

Her ability to summarize was obviously a little poor, and the empress couldn't help frowning when she heard it. The female officer standing next to her glanced at Baoshan before she stopped. "Why didn't you say it?" The Empress asked. "The small, the small worry is trivial."

The Empress frowned. looked at the female officer waiting on the side, who was as good as a stream. I asked all the questions I had asked Baoshan before.

Now, Bao Shan is targeted, and his answer is much more reliable than just now.

After the female official finished asking, the empress glanced at Bao Shan and said, "Tell me about your companions in the flower garden on the night of the fire, their reactions." “

I spent an unexpectedly long time in the dusty room, and by the time I finally straightened up, it had been more than an hour.

Suspicious of being bumped into by someone else, I took some dust from the corner of the room and re-sprinkled it on it, blurring the imprints.

When the day dawns, the barren grass in the courtyard is illuminated by the winter sun, which makes people feel moved in an instant, even in such a desolate place, it can also shine into the sun.

I stood in the courtyard with a heavy heart, thinking back to the notch I had just seen inadvertently on the broken G.

I stopped in the courtyard, washed my hands in a bucket, and reached out to rub my neck, which was sore from holding a fixed position for a long time.

If I could, I really wanted to have Yunchu by my side at this moment, then the problems I encountered might be solved.

His strength has not been surpassed by anyone so far, and for me, it is simply something to look up to.

However, I had to continue what I had to do, and having already made a plan to go to the palace beauty quarter, I pulled myself together and went back to the room where I was going to spend the night.

The clothes left behind are the dresses worn by the palace maids, and most of the palace attendants are handsome, and if I really want to dress up, it is not a disobedience.

After all, there is a difference between men and women, and now the makeup I changed is still more harmonious with the dress of the palace maid

After changing into my clothes and stopping, I came out of the courtyard and made out the direction outside.

Whoever told the weeds and shrubs here to grow too much, I suspect that the deserted yard is almost impossible to see on the main road.

The southwest corner of the Sealand Palace is the residence of those beauties.

I didn't walk very fast through the half-man-tall weeds, and at last I saw a low lawn in front of me, which was considered the most laborious area, and I breathed a sigh of relief and patted the grass on my body.

I stopped under the tree to rest for a while, and continued to walk southwest, but not long after I walked out, I stopped in my place.

Who else is smiling at me with his elbows under the tree in front of him, but my black-bellied senior brother?!

I walked over slowly, feeling embarrassed that he had caught me. "Little junior sister is in such a hurry, where are you going?" Tianfang looked at me and said for a long time. "Senior brother," my voice was not much louder than a mosquito, "the main thing is that the small courtyard is panicked, there is no one, and I have to wait until the evening, I don't know the bottom of my heart." "I heard that there are beauties living in the southwest corner of the palace who have been snubbed by the empress, but the news of these people is not slow, I am going to go for a walk and find out."

So far, I have been intercepted by him, and I can only explain it clearly.

Tianfang must have guessed my intentions, the questioning was just a formality, and meeting a black-bellied and powerful person was always the nemesis of my life, the same as Yun Chu, and so did my senior brother. "Xiao Ling'er, you don't want to wait in the small courtyard with peace of mind, I can guess, but haven't you thought about it? Going out in the middle of the day is much more dangerous than walking around at night, and it's easy for the patrolmen to bump into you. "I don't see it that way, Senior Brother," I lowered my head and whispered, "The most likely things He Yanzhi searched were the places I had told him in the past and mentioned staying with me. "The southwest corner, which is a cold place that is ignored by the empress, should only be a rough search if he wants to search." "The number of guards is also numerous, and you can't count all the places in the huge Sealand Palace and distribute them equally."

I pondered for a moment and said, "For example, the flower garden, Penglai Pavilion, he will definitely leave the most people, even if it is just waiting for me to go." "He may not send people to the southwest corner, but there are not so many, and when it comes to bumping into him, it is still safe over there."

I had a flash of inspiration, raised my head and said to my senior brother: "Since you have guessed it, please ask my senior brother to help me accompany me on this trip." “

Tianfang was silent, reached out and pulled the robe he was wearing, and I realized that I had completely ignored his dress just now, and when did he change into the clothes of a palace attendant.

It's all ready!

I looked at Tianfang and said embarrassedly, "I'm sluggish." “

Tianfang approached, reached out to pat the grass clippings stained on my hair for me, hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled gently, "I expected that you couldn't wait honestly, if you really had to wait, you wouldn't ask me about changing my makeup." ”

"Yes, senior brother is the smartest, and he can't hide anything from you." I flattered.

Tian Fang smiled and reached out and patted me on the head

I walked side by side with Tianfang on the path, tilting my head sideways from time to time to glance at him.

As if sensing my gaze, he turned his head to look at me at the same time.

Tianfang smiled lightly and raised his eyebrows, "What questions do you have?" "Senior brother," I lowered my eyelashes, "you went back to the small courtyard where the troupe was, and no one was looking for you over there?" "I heard Sister Qingzhi, the housekeeper of the flower garden, say a few days ago that the palace banquet is the day after tomorrow, and you don't need to rehearse anymore? According to the custom, don't the female officials in the palace let the troupe walk on the stage before the banquet and sing it to them for a while? “

Tianfang stopped and said: "I asked the class master to say to the outside world that I have a cold, and I must take a break and maintain my throat in the past two days, so as not to delay the business." "Senior brother, you have even used the means of deception," I said with a wink, suddenly remembering that he would have to keep staring at me in this way, and I was stunned for a moment. Little junior sister, don't you look very happy? Tianfang turned his head and looked at me with an uncertain look in his eyes. Anyway, I'm very happy. The corners of my mouth moved.

The road ahead turned a corner, and a large forest appeared, and I had seen the map of the palace, and the boundary where the beauties lived should be through the forest. (To be continued).
