Chapter Twenty-Three: Midori Disappears

"Little Owl, tomorrow we will move back to the Thorn Orchid Palace, and tomorrow I will invite all the concubines to my Thorn Orchid Palace, I heard what those maids said during the day, but I really want to hear what the other concubines said, we can't wronged the good people, if what those maids said is true, then I, as the master of the harem, will have to take care of it."

The little owl nodded and said: "Then I will go back to the Thorn Orchid Hall early tomorrow morning to clean up, when the little owl went to tidy up the weeds a few days ago, I accidentally found that the wall on the side of our Thorn Orchid Hall was actually built up, and there was a very large courtyard inside the wall, probably the garden of the concubine who lived here before, only to see all the withered flowers, as well as the dilapidated corridor and hall. ”

"Oh, that's really unusual, I haven't cared about it after living for so long, it just so happens that the place is reserved as our back garden, as for the hall and the pavilion, we will find craftsmen to repair it into a pavilion for viewing, and we will sit there and drink tea when we are okay in the future, how pleasant." Liuyanqing was in a better mood at this time, and he forgot the pain in his feet, as long as he thought of the items that were going to be sorted out by himself, his heart was inexplicably excited, probably because of his own hands and brains, so he felt extremely cherished.

Seeing that the smoke was clear, Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Actually, I don't hide it from you, Xiao Yu has been by your side for a while, and I also understand your thoughts, Xiao Yu has been tidying up the courtyard with others as early as when he found out, and he has planted some strange flowers and plants, but these are only temporary, and the specific needs to be pointed out by Niangniang." ”

Liuyanqing looked at the little owl in surprise, but he didn't expect that the little owl's idea was more appropriate than the average maidservant, and he had the heart of being the master.

Liu Yanqing smiled knowingly and said: "Little bird, I'm very happy that you did this, sister, if the old yard is separated like this, we must not be able to live with the people who lived here in the past." ”

When the little owl saw the master praising himself, he didn't mention how happy he was.

When a flash of sunlight in the early morning shone on the bed, Liuyanqing opened his eyes as usual, and his eyes blurred to see two strange maidservants walking around the room. When one of the maidservants saw that her master was awake, she immediately scooped up the clothes in the tray, while the other maid carefully lifted up Liuyanqing and put her on clothes.

It's just that what is different from usual is that the person who serves him today is not a little bird, and he is a little uncomfortable.

"Who gave you permission to come? What about the little owls? ”

The maid immediately bowed her head respectfully and said: "Hui Niangniang, this is the slave maid ordered by the above to wait for Niangniang, the little girl went back to the Thorn Lan Hall early in the morning to do something, and she has not come back until now."

Liu Yanqing remembered that Xiao Yu said last night that he would go to the Thorn Orchid Hall today to tidy up first.

Liu Yanqing nodded, and as soon as he got dressed, a woman voice called out from outside the door, mixed with arrogance.

"Concubine Rin, are you up, you move lightly one by one, if you wake up Niangniang, scoop you up!"

Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, which made Liuyanqing feel a little uncomfortable, and stood there condescendingly, wanting to see who was so proud.

The owner of the voice didn't seem to notice that Liuyanqing was already standing there, and broke in without raising his head, but the corner of his eyes first noticed that there seemed to be an extra person in the room.

The space stopped instantly, and the person who came was a middle-aged woman, judging from the two hairpins on her head, she was the female official in the palace of the night king, this female official saw that it was a clear smoke, and then thought about the fact that she was wantonly shouting here before, so frightened that she immediately knelt down, and said in a panic: "Please forgive the mother, just now the slave didn't know that you had gotten up, the little girl is not here today, so I want to serve you well, if the mother is dissatisfied, punish the slave." ”

"You ordered you to come down and serve the concubine?" Liuyan said solemnly.

"Yes."

Liu Yanqing looked around in front of her and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The female official's body was stunned, but she didn't expect Liuyanqing to forget herself, so she replied: "Hui Niangniang, the slave's name is Min Lu, and it is not a while to serve the master, I don't know the master's preferences, so please forgive me for some inconsiderate places." ”

Liu Yanqing nodded: "This name is somewhat familiar, but Concubine Ben is a little curious now." Liuyan paused for a moment, and then continued: "You seem to be the first to know that the little owl will leave here and go to the Thorn Orchid Hall to do something, where did you get this news from?" ”

didn't expect Liuyanqing to ask such a question, and suddenly Min Lu's body trembled slightly, and then replied: "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid went to take care of things for the maids normally in the morning, and accidentally saw the little owl walking out of the Night King's Palace, so I was a little curious and asked." ”

"I see, I thought it was the talkative maidservants again. In that case, you can continue to do your thing. Liuyan said lightly, sitting in front of the dresser and combing his hair.

"Yes." Min? p>

Mellow sugar persimmon vulgar about the sea of the sea of the ship of the prowess? p>

"Niangniang, let the slave do this kind of thing." Min Lu carefully took the comb from Liuyanqing's hand, and then carefully did not hurt her hair, and carefully coiled her ancient hair bun, this kind of bun is difficult to coil up, but it was coiled up in Min Lu's hand after a while. Also carefully inserted a butterfly-shaped hairpin on the side of the bun, and this butterfly is still three-dimensional, one of the jewelry boxes of Liuyanqing, which has not been worn in the past, because there is no suitable bun to use it, but it is used at this time, Liuyanqing likes it very much, and the butterfly's wings are still flashing when his head twists, and he suddenly feels a lot more vivid.

"I didn't expect Min Lu's craftsmanship to be so good, if I have the opportunity in the future, how about serving it for this concubine?" Liuyanqing was obviously satisfied with this bun, and couldn't put it down.

When the female official Min Lu saw Concubine Rin say this, she immediately bowed down happily: "Xie Niangniang praises, the slave will not disappoint your expectations." ”

"Okay, okay, don't kneel, this concubine is not used to it."

Liuyanqing walked to the pavilion and looked at the gate in the distance, but waited for a morning but did not see the trace of the little pig, Liuyanqing was a little anxious, what is going on with this little bird? Tidy up the house, where did it take so long? Two hours is enough for a few maidservants to tidy up.

Min Lu saw Liuyanqing's anxious look, so he respectfully stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, if you are waiting for the little girl, I'm afraid there should be some time, so the slave is thinking, if the mother goes now, the slave can accompany her." ”

Liu Yanqing glanced at Min Lu and said, "As a female official of this Night King's Palace, you are indispensable here for a moment, if there is anything wrong because of me, then the Night King's blame will not be spared." ”

This Min Lu was probably a little anxious, but she didn't expect this, and she was a little hesitant when she saw Liu Yanqing say this.

Liuyanqing sighed: "Then let's wait for the little bird to come, without the little bird around, it always feels like something is missing." ”

Only then did an imperceptible smile appear on the corner of Min Lu's mouth.

"What is the Night King doing at this time?" Liuyanqing asked casually.

Min Lu replied, "Back to Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Night King is probably training soldiers in the backyard at this moment." ”

It seems that for Kong Mingye, the imperial court has already exerted pressure on him at this time, so from the conversation between Yuanfu and him yesterday, he can feel that he feels safe for the imperial court, and he was probably trying to bully himself all day long by letting himself stay in the Night King's Palace, but it happened that during this period, the current emperor issued him a report and important matters of the court, otherwise it would be impossible to make Kong Mingye feel nervous.

It's not that I don't know history, in the 21st century, my history class is to get full marks in every test, such as the events of the Yongzheng Dynasty, and it is also because of the mutual killing of the princes that this situation is made, that is, I don't want to let the people who are hated by the day and night sit on the throne, and it is not for my own selfishness.

That Min Lu served very carefully, whenever Liuyanqing thought about the little bird, this Min Lu hurriedly did something else to interfere with Liuyanqing's attention, and before he knew it, it was night.

Min Lu probably saw that Liuyanqing was very satisfied with his service, so he became even more presumptuous, regardless of whether Liuyanqing wanted to listen to it or not, so he poured out the jokes he wanted to tell in his heart, and said some strange things in the Night King's Mansion to make Liuyanqing happy.

"Why hasn't the little owl come yet?" Liuyanqing listened to Min Lu's joke without thinking, and immediately scolded loudly.

Min Lu was so frightened that she was silent, and she stepped aside.

"Someone!" Liuyan shouted urgently, and two maids immediately rushed from outside the door.

Liu Yanqing continued: "You go back to the Thorn Lan Palace, and if you find Xiao Yu, you want her to come here quickly!" ”

What did you do so late? The little bird is usually not like this, as long as he walks around, no matter where he goes, the little bird will follow closely, and the little bird will discuss with him about anything, but the little bird is a little uncomfortable leaving.

After all, the little bird did not love vanity like other servants, and was loyal to himself, so he was not afraid that the little bird would be tempted by others and betray him.

After a while, the two maids ran in breathlessly, and said breathlessly, "Hui Niangniang, little girl ......."

"How's the little plover?" The smoke was clear and immediately jumped up from the stool.

"Little Owl Girl...... And not in the Hall of Thorns. ”

Liuyanqing's brows tightened: "How can you not be in the Thorn Orchid Palace?" Isn't it okay this morning? ”

The two maids replied resignedly: "The slave maid asked the guards at the door, and they all said that they had seen the little owl girl tidying up in the Thorn Orchid Hall in the morning and walked in the direction of the Night King's Palace, but ......"

"You mean to say that the little bird had already packed up in the Thorn Orchid Hall in the morning, so he wanted to go back to the Night King's Palace, but he didn't know where to go on the way?" Liuyanqing asked.
