"It's funny." Concubine Chen is like watching a play, and her beautiful eyes are becoming more and more charming. When she saw Qingluan's move, she didn't plan to stop there, under this disparity in level, a small promise couldn't protect Shui Qiao for a while.

"Niangniang, the concubine came today to discuss something, not to disturb it." Qingluan raised her eyes, her pupils had shrunk violently, "Niangniang knows me, when did Qingluan joke." ”

Concubine Chen stopped the people left and right with her eyes, smiled slowly, and said indifferently: "If there is anything, just say it now." ”

Qingluan's eyelashes trembled slightly, falling down like wings, her bright eyes flowed with anticipation, straightened up, stared at the woman in front of her and said: "There are many ears and eyes here, if the mother is obvious, Qingluan will not care." But if some words reach the ears of the Holy One......"

The woman in the snow robe glanced at her sharply, but finally turned around and entered the courtyard, leaving a path sideways for several maids, only allowing Qingluan and Shui Qiao to pass one after another. Qingluan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in the end, she had pinched Concubine Chen's weakness, otherwise today's matter would really be in a dilemma.

This path can barely be regarded as the backyard of Lingxian Palace, because it is rarely tended by people on weekdays, so it is overgrown with grass and trees. Right now, just after the deep winter, dead trees more than one person tall can be seen everywhere, which is even more depressed. Originally, this was the path that Concubine Chen's family passed when they came, but the woman was so spoiled that even if the minister was summoned, she dared to swagger through the front door, and over time it became a hidden place, and there were some people who were inconvenient for people to see.

Concubine Chen let Qingluan pass here, which obviously meant to be demeaning. What's more, Qingluan had been in this Lingxian Palace for three years, and he knew the meaning even more. However, Xing Yan didn't expect that this was actually what Qingluan meant, and it also saved her previous worries.

Xing Yan has always been extremely picky about what she enters, and in order to comply with her wishes, the emperor specially appointed a small kitchen at the back of the palace to provide her with some delicious dishes. Qingluan walked all the way, and saw a lot of vegetables and fruits piled up in front of the firewood door, she heard the faint footsteps on the other side of the kitchen, and at first thought it was a person walking, but the sound was not so much cautious as sneaky. She was suspicious, so she followed the sound and saw a corner of the dark blue skirt quickly brushing behind the pillar, and the original figure disappeared immediately.

Although she couldn't see the face of the person who escaped, a daisy blooming on the skirt was clearly the logo of the Huanyi Bureau. Qingluan knew a little in his heart, but he didn't speak, just followed as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until she entered the side hall and retreated left and right that Concubine Chen turned her head and re-examined her. Compared with the previous eyes, although it is still unfriendly, it is also a little jealous.

She really can't underestimate this character - she is just a maid who was expelled from the palace, but she quickly won the favor of the emperor and queen. If it's not that Qingluan's scheming is too deep, she has a strong personality.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Niangniang knows in her heart how the concubine was made a promise." There is no point in delaying too much, Qingluan knows Concubine Chen's temperament, so she simply goes straight to the point, lest she get impatient. "It's all up to the Queen's mercy."

"This palace knows the way, but this palace also believes that what kind of calculation the queen has in her heart, you won't be unclear."

Qingluan lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding Concubine Chen's sharp gaze: "What Niangniang said is true." Therefore, the concubine wants to repay the great kindness of the queen mother no matter what. ”

When Xing Yan heard this, a cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

The layout of the side hall is complicated, and the layers of hollow partition walls block the light, and the room is gloomy. Although she couldn't see Qingluan's expression clearly at this time, there was indeed something more in her eyes, something that people had to be careful about. It's only been a few days since I left here, but people have changed so much.

These words were bold, but Xing Yan didn't seem to care, and just said: "Since it is to repay the favor, what do you do with this palace." ”

"The concubine knows that the concubine also has a lot of kindness piled up in her heart, you just need a competent person, waiting for a suitable opportunity."

"You're just a small promise, what to join forces with this palace." At this point, she said it brightly. Xing Yan squinted at the woman in front of her with the appearance of heaven and man, calculating the pros and cons between the two.

Qingluan lowered her eyelids, as if pondering this thorny question, but it only took a moment for her to raise her head, her eyes determined. "Niangniang may wish to make a bet with Qingluan, if the concubine can become a noble person within ten days, Niangniang can rest assured to cooperate with the concubine. If not, it will be easy for you to dispose of a promise. ”

Even Concubine Chen, who had experienced a hundred battles, couldn't help but be stunned. From promising to be promoted to a nobleman, she has jumped over the four levels of the royal maid, the selection of waiters, the talented, and the constant presence, although it is not difficult to ascend to the sky, but it is also a woman who is extremely favored or has made meritorious contributions. Qingluan has no family to take care of, and no saint has favored him, how dare he boast of such a sea mouth.

But when you weigh the weight, it's really not a disadvantage for yourself. Even if she really became a nobleman, the difference between her and the concubine was more than tens of millions, and she couldn't make up an opponent.

A change of stance is just a matter of thought.

"You can try it." Concubine Chen slowly hung down the fragrant tea in the cup and raised her eyes to look at her, "But Qingluan, don't be stupid enough to let others grab the handle." ”

"Niangniang can rest assured, Qingluan will not let herself become the target of public criticism."

The woman in the costume was startled, and then chuckled, "Sister Bingxue is smart, then sister is waiting for your good news." ”

Qingluan bowed slightly, said Wanfu and walked out of the palace gate. Although this step is extremely dangerous, it is worth it if you can really get Xing Yan's help. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly - he was caught up in chaos, and if he wanted to stay out of the way before, it might not be easy.

Shui Qiao was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw Qingluan coming out, he trotted up to meet him.

She was born thin, and her limbs were not very coordinated, so she ran a little staggeringly, like a chick waiting to be fed, which was very interesting. Qingluan just wanted to make a joke, but when she saw that the girl's face was pale and her brows were frowning, she smiled and stretched out her hand to support her.

Shui Qiao took a big breath on the soft wattle she stretched out, "Not long after the little master entered, Sister Su E searched all over the place, and the slave maid looked at her with a different expression, as if something big had happened, so let her wait for you in Huawei Palace first." ”

Qingluan helped her smooth her back, and when she saw that Shui Qiao's breathing had calmed down, she said unhurriedly: "Didn't Su E send someone here?" ”

"It's my sister, she went in person, and it's inconvenient for Shui Qiao to ask too much."

The woman nodded, although Su E did not reveal the so-called important things at all, but she still had a general idea in her heart when she heard Shui Qiao's description. Su E has always been a cautious person, and not long ago she co-starred in such a play in the palace, if it wasn't for a major incident, she would never go there in person to provoke people's talk.
