Chapter 261: The Origin of the Palace Maiden

Xiao Si walked forward for a while, turned his eyes to the winding path on the side of the small hill, and had an idea to go around backwards.

He didn't want to disturb the two people who were in the pavilion.

If they were disturbed, he wouldn't be able to see the show.

Even He Yanzhi's carriage made a detour at his request, and Xiao Si himself certainly didn't dare to be careless.

He rounded the fork in the hillside and cautiously approached his target.

The two people in the pavilion seemed to have reached the end of the conversation, and Xiao Si couldn't help but show a regretful expression on his face after hearing a few words.

Today, I still made a mistake!

The plan was discussed with He Yanzhi a few days ago, but Xiao Si considered He Yanzhi's reaction in the past, and still felt that it was more reliable to participate in the handover process.

Because the two of them had just had an incident in the bamboo garden a few days ago, they didn't dare to let go too much even on the territory they were familiar with.

First, after gossiping in the courtyard for a while, he went back to the study to play.

What He Yanzhi said today to divide the winner is just a pretext, neither he nor Xiao Sixin are on the chess path, in order to plan what to do next.

Therefore, it didn't take long for He Yanzhi to let his subordinates prepare the carriage, take the coachman, two guards, and Xiaosi to the outskirts of the national capital.

The empress instructed He Yanzhi to confirm the arrangement of the venue with the officials of the yamen of the national capital city before the celebration, and before He Yanzhi left the palace, he sent the guards to the yamen of the national capital city to inform the officials.

Therefore, the car of Lin Dedian has not reached the yamen of the national capital, and the road taken in the city is also different, but it is not long after leaving the city gate. I saw the officials of the national capital who were chasing after him.

Xiao Si changed into the clothes of Lin De Palace, because of the protection of the emperor and the emperor, he went out of the palace and witnessed the whole process. But I didn't expect to see this scene after returning to the palace.

At this moment, Xiao Si's regret is indescribable.

I knew that the palace was surging today, all kinds of characters were on stage, the troupe didn't start the gong, and they all came out to stand up one by one, so he shouldn't have left the palace!

Xiao Si calmed down and listened to the movements around him. After the conversation with Mo Yan, he always suspected that the hidden people around Gongzi were also scattered all over the palace, or that those people were as curious about the current scene as he was.

Xiao Si has concerns.

A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he saw that the two people in the pavilion had finished speaking. Just about to leave.

Su Hyun walked around the flowers by the pavilion first, one step later than him, and the remaining slender figure in the pavilion took a step forward and went down the other road.

Su Hyun didn't go all the way with her.

Xiao Si didn't move, hiding in the grass and watching. Look at the backs of those two people. After a few moments, he straightened up, calculated the distance, and after a little hesitation, chose to follow one of them.

Xiao Si followed her figure until she reached the side door of Penglai Pavilion, hid herself, raised her eyes and quietly looked at the person who walked in in a hurry.

Xiao Si is keenly aware that things will not be just what they seem.

At least in the days he was in the palace, he had never heard the news, and Su Hyun was good friends with the people of Penglai Pavilion.

That girl was obviously selected to enter the yamen of the national capital city in the same batch as the girl. Then they went to the training place together, to say that it was Su Hyun's follow. It's too scheming.

But if it is bought halfway, how can it be done?

Could it be that the family outside the palace was held hostage by Su Hyun's subordinates? Xiao Si recalled the girl's expression when she talked to Su Hyun, and it was really difficult to connect it with the word coercion.

He frowned and thought for a while, but he had no clue, so he had to turn around and go back to the courtyard where he lived first.

At this point, he thought about the Scarface Man because he wandered around the palace more when he was free, and the Scarface Man entered the palace earlier than him.

Regarding the new group of palace maids, Xiao Si felt the need to ask him about the ins and outs, and even told him what he saw and what he saw, so that he, an outsider, could judge it from the perspective of a bystander.

It's a pity that the girl went to the Northland, otherwise she could have asked carefully.

As for the steward of the flower garden, Xiao Si thinks that he should not show his mouth for the time being if he is not completely sure, and no matter how bad it is, he has to wait until the palace banquet is over to think about it in the long run.

Xiao Si turned his head, glanced at the side door from a distance, and saw that the back never came out again, before turning his head and walking into the forest.

Xiao Si lowered his head all the way and thought about it, and slowly walked towards the small courtyard where he lived.

This road is the same as going to the side gate of the Linde Palace, but the small courtyard is behind the Linde Palace.

The fog in the forest was thicker than at noon, and Xiao Si found that at the same distance, the lake in the palace was a little unreal, presumably at night, the fog would be even thicker, which was a sign that it might be a good day for the celebration.

It's just that tonight, whether you can get through it smoothly, whether there is an unexpected situation, Xiao Si is still not sure.

He thought that after asking the scarface man, he would go to Penglai Pavilion again, it was better to wait later, and the time would be before the palace banquet began.

He must know the current situation of Gongzi, if Mo Yan can't stop him alone, he can also do something, they all have the same thoughts, and they feel that Gongzi had better not go to tonight's palace banquet

The courtyard in the southwest is much more deserted today than before.

In the small courtyard under the big tree, the people by the pond are throwing fish food into the water with small pots of fish food as usual.

The palace maid who entered the door breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the clear figure by the pool, and after approaching, she curtched and stood up and said, "I have inquired about the news, except for us, people from other courtyards have come over to help." ”

The people by the pool paused, and said to the palace maid with their eyes: "Where is Zhao Meiren?" ”

The palace maid smiled, stood beside him and looked at him and responded: "It's just that there are few people who go there, and there are only a few people in total?" "There must always be someone to serve the beauty," replied the palace maid, "and the people under your lord are embarrassed to take them away." “

The palace maid saw a smile flashing at the corner of her master's lips, and said in a low voice: "The one in the southern courtyard can't hold it anymore, and has already rushed to the palace banquet place." "I heard I wanted to meet an old friend."

As she spoke, the palace maid glanced at the south with complicated eyes. There seems to be some unfinished meaning in the language. "What old friends do he see?" The corner of the pool's mouth said with a sarcastic smile, "Could it be that you still want to drag a few more people as backs?" But he didn't know," said the man at the pool, who threw a handful of fish into the water. I think that among the people in the southwest film, I am one of the best clever, but in fact, I don't know who is pulled to back in the end! “

The palace maid nodded knowingly and said, "You have persuaded him many times, but he doesn't get oil and salt, so let him go." “

When the palace maid said this, she lowered her head and thought about it, raised her head and stared at the people by the pool for a moment before asking, "What are you going to do tonight?" “

The people by the pool lowered their eyelids and thought for a while before raising their heads and saying, "Everyone is looking forward to tonight's palace banquet." I don't think it's better not to go! "Don't you think it's a pity?" The palace maid said with a look of regret on her face, "Tonight is also a rare opportunity." “

The man by the pool shook his head lightly and said, "I don't think so." "I'm afraid of causing trouble, after all, many people in this area have hidden their skills. But I just spread the word," he said with a calm face, "It's not for me to add benefits to this time, but to urge my life." "How can you say that, the way of medicine saves lives. You have helped many people in the palace in the past few years. How can you just because of a few threats"

The palace maid looked at the people by the pool intently and listened very carefully. "What I care about is not that he wants to blackmail me, he has never understood, I don't want him to die for no reason, in case someone has a plan, just borrow his hand." "I understand this truth, but he doesn't appreciate it. What can you do? The palace maid said helplessly. If something really happens, he's not the only one who is unlucky. The palace maid sighed inexplicably, "The two big palace maids in his courtyard are almost out of the palace, if something happens to him this time, they will all be implicated." "I've been getting along for almost two years, and I have a bit of sisterhood, and one of them was selected to enter the palace by the same batch of national capital yamen as me."

The palace maid said in a complicated mood.

There was a brief silence at the poolside, and he turned his head and asked her, "Will Zhao Meiren go tonight?" ”

"Probably not, you know that he has been using excuses to the outside world that his health is not good, and he is also focused on poetry and painting, especially his painting skills are amazing."

"By the way, you said that someone in his hospital was sent to help, and it was the latest one?"

"You really guess accurately, it's the one," the palace maid pursed her lips, stretched out her hand and stroked her hair, "It was still sent out by Su Guijun, and I heard that it was the palace maid who offended the steward." ”

"You haven't seen that before, he looks so good, he has snowy skin, and he can enter the palace as a concubine in a neighboring country!"

The people by the pool glanced at the palace maid funny, causing the palace maid to avoid his eyes, and blushed slightly and said, "The beauty is making fun of me!" ”

"When have you ever been to a neighboring country, or have someone in your family been?" The poolside man coughed lightly and asked.

The palace maid shook her head, and subconsciously glanced around, the courtyard was quiet, that is, she and the people by the pool: "It's all heard from people, I heard that only we are like this in Xilan, and the places outside are all the opposite." ”

The people by the pool looked at the swimming fish in the pond and said, "If you have the chance, I really want to go and take a look." ”

The courtyard was silent, and the palace maid opened the topic with some regrets, and hurriedly turned back and said: "Zhao Meiren's new palace maid, I heard that she is arrogant, and she refuses to stay in the palace with peace of mind, thinking about leaving the palace!" ”

"Didn't she come in through the selection of the national capital yamen? I remember that most of the palace maids came from this path, is she an exception? ”

"The beauty doesn't know," the palace maid whispered, "her family is poor, and the family is greedy for that bit of silver, so they sent her in." ”

"But she always regretted it, and always wanted to go out, but she couldn't find a way, so she had to stay."

The more the people by the pool listened, the more they felt that something was wrong, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and stare at the palace maid's face suspiciously, and said without a moment: "You say, she was reluctantly sent in?" ”

The palace maid nodded and said, "When she was in the Qingsi Palace, she was not on good terms with Su Guijun's stewards. ”

"After Su Guijun returned to favor and moved to the palace, the steward found an opportunity to send her to our southwest area."

After the palace maid finished speaking, she thought about it and added: "However, she went to Zhao Meiren's garden, and Zhao Meiren treated her well." ”

"Getting along with people is very mysterious, she has no nostalgia for the palace and no fighting, which just fits Zhao Meiren's temperament, so she looks at her differently."

The face of the person by the pool was cloudy, and after a while, he let out a long sigh

When I approached the small courtyard, as far as I could see, the palace people who usually worked were not in front of me at the moment.

I heard that today not only the palace maids were transferred, but also the people in the courtyard were transferred to help carry the furnishings in the venue.

The scarface man sent those people out early in the morning, and there are not many places to help on weekdays, and at this time, he feels that those people will be tied up in case they need to act, so the scarface man does not hesitate to send them away.

As for those people, if they can go to the palace banquet venue to make some efforts, meet the palace maids, and eat and drink, there is nothing unpleasant.

When Xiao Si entered the door, the courtyard was very quiet.

He walked through the courtyard and saw a wide variety of household items placed in the corners of the half-open courtyard, which were many of them with the help of the people below.

The important treasures are all indoors, and they are repaired by the hands of the scar-faced man.

When Xiao Si entered, the man was still buried in the meticulous work of repairing as usual.

If you don't know the origin of his martyrdom in the Jade Pavilion, it will really make people who don't know think that he is purely a craftsman recruited from the palace.

The scar-faced man squinted and glanced at Xiao Si, and the work on his hands did not stop: "Where are you from?" I haven't seen you for more than half a day? I've been very busy lately, and I can count the number of times I've seen you in the small courtyard. "Went to run errands for that kid in Penglai Pavilion again?"

The scar-faced man snorted in his nostrils.

Xiao Si ignored his sarcasm, approached his workbench and asked, "You knew about the training ground from the time they entered the palace?" ”

The scar-faced man was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to who the "they" in Xiao Si's words were, and nodded immediately: "As long as it is related to her, pay special attention, there were four people living together at that time." ”

"In addition to her, one is the sister of General Gu who guards the northern land, working in the empress's study, and the other is doing chores under the Lin De Palace, you must have seen it."

"General Gu's sister seems to be called Gu Qimei, or Gu Qilan, she mixes well with the empress, and it is said that she can even see the excerpts of the play."

"The one in Lin Dedian, who is a miscellaneous worker, is young, and is often bullied when he goes, but he looks pretty good."

Xiao Si saw that he said it, but he didn't have the one he was interested in, so he couldn't help asking, "What about the rest of the one?" I mean, how much do you know about the rest of the other than them? ”

The scar-faced man put down the work in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and looked at Xiao Si casually: "That one!" ”

"It's not that I've been persuaded to work in the flower garden, it's under the care of Qingzhi." "Her family is engaged in the fabric business in the national capital, it seems, right?"

"Why do you ask so much?" The scar-faced man glanced at Xiao Si and said. (To be continued......)
