Walking through the woods and on the green-covered road, the palace man stopped on a bridge by the lake.

His gaze was in the middle of a large expanse of water.

It was an island in the middle of the lake in the Sealand Palace, and the area was not large, only seven or eight acres of land.

Many years ago, a small building was built on this lake, in the middle of the island.

At this moment, looking in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake, he vaguely saw someone coming ashore.

The pier on the island in the middle of the lake is small, so it stands out as long as a boat comes by.

He was standing right now, and he could see the movement over there at a glance.

His eyes fell on the man in white who came ashore, and Xiao Si's breathing suddenly tightened.

He watched silently for a long time, until there was no one to be seen on the other side of the pier, except for the boat moving slightly on the surface of the lake.

Stretched out his hand and took out the letter to be sent in his sleeve, Xiao Si read it briefly, and then went to the courtyard of the palace maid's training without looking back

The morning of training is coming to an end, whether it is Wei Mingzhu, Gu Lan, Gu Qimei, or another girl who is training together, everyone is hungry and tired.

At noon every day, the female officials gave the girls some time to rest, so that these delicate girls could have a breather and adapt to life in the palace.

For them, in the days to come, they will miss their life in the training ground.

The training came to an end, and after saying the order to disperse, Wei Mingzhu sat on the stone with an exaggerated ass, his mouth cocked high.

Gu Lan walked over and stroked her hair. Knowing that this little sister's joys, sorrows, and sorrows were all on her face, she was most clear at a glance, so she asked her softly: "What made you unhappy?" ”

"Sister Lan. Why did I choose Sister Xiaoling to go to Linde Palace. Wei Mingzhu said with a sad face, "I didn't even have a superfluous word, and I was chosen by the female official." ”

"Why didn't you choose me?"

Gu Lan was stunned and said with a smile: "You and I both know, Xiaoling has no acquaintances in the palace, and the female official chose her on a whim." "It's so strange, I can't even figure it out. Sister. “

Wei Mingzhu looked at the impassable hanging flower door, lowered his head and said dejectedly: "I'm thinking, I probably won't have the opportunity to go to the Lin De Hall to see the emperor." "Maybe you might be assigned to the clothes bureau. Hey, I might also go to the place that Sister Xiaoling wants to go to the most, Shangshi Bureau. "Those who want to go can't go, those who don't want to go. It was a breeze to go. "Sister Mingzhu." Gu Qimei, who was in the distance, saw these two people talking with their heads bowed on the side of the rockery. Coupled with the expression on Wei Mingzhu's face, she guessed that eight or nine was not far from ten.

She straightened her clothes, walked slowly to the rockery, and joined the conversation. "Sister Mingzhu," Gu Qimei said, in a calm voice that was reassuring. "The results of the selection and distribution are not yet in the shadow, don't worry." "Hey. Sister Gu didn't see it, Sister Xiaoling had already gone to the Linde Palace. “

When Wei Mingzhu mentioned this topic, the expression on his face became bitter melon.

Gu Qimei's eyes stayed on her face, and she kept looking at her eyes and said, "Let me ask you, how many palace maids did the female official say she wanted to stay?" “

A trace of confusion slipped through Wei Mingzhu's eyes, as if she was thinking about why Gu Qimei would ask such a wenti at this time, she still thought about it and folded her fingers. "When the female officer came in on the first day, she said that some of us are bound to be eliminated." "Although there is a shortage of people in the palace, there is not so much need." "These days, I learn the rules, and almost every day there are girls going out of the palace." "Yesterday, the female official said that the remaining people will be eliminated at most, and the rest can stay in the palace for at least two years." "That's right." Gu Qimei patiently listened to her muttering before continuing, "You also know what happened last night. "The female officer originally said that three or five more would be eliminated, but as soon as this incident came out, three of them were ironclad and couldn't stay." "According to the number of people she said, it means that our group of people, at most two more will be eliminated, or even two, and they can stay."

Wei Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and she said gloomily: "Sister Gu also knows, I train hard not only to stay in the palace." "I know."

Gu Lan finally couldn't help but interject: "Xiao Mingzhu didn't understand what Sister Gu meant, Sister Gu said, this group of people can generally stay." "According to the number of people left here, even if people have to be selected from everywhere, how can they ignore the Lin De Palace, which is the only one in the harem, I am afraid that there is the right to choose first."

Wei Mingzhu listened and slowly sat up straight.

Gu Lan continued: "Although we don't know why the female official favors Xiaoling alone, but Sister Gu and I have helped you think about it, except for her, Lin Dedian must choose at least two more people among us." "Do you remember what the Emperor said when he passed by that day?" "Remember, he told the female officer who trained him that he would send two people to him after the training." "But, according to him, isn't there only one place?"

Wei Mingzhu raised his head and glanced at Gu Lan and Gu Qimei who were standing in front of her. "How can you be sure that person can't be you?" "Are you bad in terms of appearance? When it comes to the results of these days, are you inferior to many people? “

Wei Mingzhu's eyes fluctuated, looking at Gu Qimei who was looking at her with a smile, and suddenly a surge of energy came up. "Sister Gu is right," Wei Mingzhu suddenly stood up and said, "I'm not bad, I may not be able to choose this place." "What's more," Gu Lan said with a smile when she saw that her spirit was recovering again, "A place, you also think too simply." "You have been in the palace all day long to inquire about the news of the emperor and the noble, haven't you heard about something?" "The emperor said that he wanted two people, how could this group of palace maids only send two to him to choose, there must be a few more people to enter the Lin De Hall together, and then he personally selected them." "Little Pearl. You should take advantage of the last opportunity of these few days, and try to make a good impression on the side of the female instructor, but if you want to send it. It must be the most haode of this group to be eligible to enter the Lin De Hall and be selected by him. "What the two sisters said is very reasonable, but I didn't understand it for a while." Wei Mingzhu smiled, tugged at the sleeves of the two of them, and said, "Now go back to the house and rest, and I'll come back to practice after lunch." “

She took the lead in her steps, but she didn't see the two men follow.

Wei Mingzhu took a few steps and felt that something was wrong. looked back at Gu Lan and Gu Qimei.

The two of them stood dumbfounded, looking ahead, and Wei Mingzhu followed their gaze into the distance. I saw a familiar figure walking this way. "Hey, that's not, that's not" Wei Mingzhu admitted, "The female officer brought it in the morning." It's the brother who took Sister Xiaoling. “

The palace man looked at the three young girls standing on the side of the rockery. Unprovoked was a little nervous, he lowered his head and walked over, stopped in front of Gu Qimei and saluted.

He intuitively felt that this girl looked older, and it might be better to tell her, after all, in the morning, he saw the four of them together.

Gu Qimei reacted immediately, and after returning the salute, she asked, "What's the matter with you?" “

Her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Si without blinking.

Xiao Si took out the letter from his sleeve to send. Both hands were handed in front of Gu Qimei.

Gu Qimei saw that he didn't say a word, and she didn't know whether to answer or not for a while.

Xiao Si raised his head. Helplessly, he nodded his mouth at her, and gestured a few gestures that they couldn't understand.

"You are dumb" Wei Mingzhu exclaimed, the dumb word couldn't be spoken, she realized that it was inappropriate, and reached out to cover her mouth.

Rao was like this, she still couldn't stop muttering in a low voice, "There are still dumb people in the palace." "Little Pearl, no." Gu Qimei glanced at her disapprovingly, Wei Mingzhu straightened her neck and said, "He can't hear it again." “

Xiao Si stretched out his hand and tapped his ears, but Gu Qimei understood, turned back to Wei Mingzhu and said, "You and Sister Lan will go first, and I will come later." ”

Gu Lan saw the clue and hurriedly dragged Wei Mingzhu away.

"I'm sorry," Gu Qimei said apologetically to Xiao Si, "She's young, don't be surprised." ”

Xiao Si shook his head with a smile, and once again solemnly handed the letter to Gu Qimei's hand.

This time, Gu Qimei took it without hesitation.

From his point of view, she read the letter very quickly, and it could be called ten lines at a glance.

Since he arrived in this palace, he has counted all the places he has stayed in.

In addition to the empress, it was the first time I saw a woman who saw things so fast.

"I see." Gu Qimei put away the letter and thanked Xiao Si again, "Please come with me, I'll clean up Sister Xiaoling's burden for her, soon." ”

I was busy in the small kitchen for almost an hour, making haode four dishes and one soup, putting them on a tray and serving them out in turn.

The empress didn't limit the number of ingredients on Scarface's side, and I wasn't sure if the vegetables in that pile were his daily amount.

But for me right now, even if it's all his example, I can't control it.

Who told him that he didn't make it clear to me, don't blame those who don't know.

The moment I brought the food out, several people in the courtyard stood up.

In my busy moments, they had already come and turned around a few times, and they all blamed the food for being so fragrant, and although they were too embarrassed to come in, they were all outside the window, looking outside the door.

"Come on, let's eat together, you haven't eaten, I've made a lot of it, enough for everyone to be together."

I greeted warmly, causing those people to look at each other, just now they said a pass, and now I actually ask them to share their skills regardless of their previous suspicions, no matter who they replace, it will be a little embarrassing.

"Miss Xiaoling, I'm sorry, we were too much just now."

Several people sat around the table in the courtyard, eating happily one by one.

"This craftsmanship is really amazing!"

"This fish and meat, the imperial dining room can't make this taste!"

"You're welcome, eat more, get along well in the future, don't do it again" "How dare you, it was originally our fault." "Well, if it's not enough, there's still one on the stove."

The pleasant sound of talking disturbed the people in the room.

The scar-faced man rushed out when he heard the voice, and saw that it was a scene of gathering at a table for dinner, but no one informed him of the main master, and shouted: "What is this for, what are you doing?" "Where's my share?"

"Mine?"

(ps: I made up the picture in my brain, I don't know how, in fact, I really want to type the last words into Shaanxi dialect, when I went to Xi'an, I think the dialect of Shaanxi children's shoes is very interesting, hehe:) (to be continued......)
