"Xiaoling, you're back," Mingzhu stood up and said with an embarrassed expression, "It's okay, that box of dim sum Emperor Guijun also ate it?" I don't dare to go out if I stay here, I'm always worried about you. ”

"yes," I smiled at her, "I'm worried I'm going to fall asleep." ”

Mingzhu's face turned even redder, and she said embarrassedly: "I didn't sleep well last night, thinking about dealing with that sister this morning." ”

"I was still thinking about how the clothes could be gone for no reason, I obviously put them in the cage underneath." "It's still wrapped in old clothes that I don't wear, how can I not see it, I think about it, it's too late."

I reminded Mingzhu: "Hurry up and tidy up, in case someone sees it, they will know at a glance that you are lazy on duty." "How so?" Mingzhu asked, widening her eyes. "Go in the mirror and see what your hair looks like."

Mingzhu didn't believe it, ran to the mirror and took a look, and suddenly made an "oops".

I watched her hold a comb, and her fingers nimbly picked up the hair one by one, and it didn't take long to make a common hairstyle in the palace.

Seeing that I was looking attentively in the mirror, Mingzhu looked back, smiled at me standing behind her, and said, "Do you want me to help you?" ”

I shook my head until I watched her finish watching ≧▽ finish it, but what came to mind was another person's hand, what a beautiful hand!

Good-looking, slender fingers, without looking at his face, just a pair of hands is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it!

Mingzhu finished picking up herself, and despite my objections, she insisted on re-grooming my hair.

She fiddled with my hair with her hands and whispered, "Don't say you don't have a handy arm right now. I see that when you are not injured, you are also very worried about dressing up. "You can see that?" I wondered. "Needless to say, Sister Gu, Sister Lan. The sisters can see it. "Actually, I really don't know how to do it." I was ashamed and said, "I'm clumsy, so I'll pick the most convenient style, it looks like it's been taken care of, and if I can walk out, it's done." "Mingzhu, after dinner tonight, you go back to bed early." Don't wander around if you're fine. "I had tonight in mind, and I told her about it.

I have learned the kung fu of Xiao Si and know that he is agile. It's a light achievement, but I don't dare to underestimate the hidden guards around He Yanzhi, in case it doesn't go on quietly as I thought, make some big moves. What should I do if it affects others?

At least the pearl. I absolutely don't want to see her implicated. "There are a lot of things in the palace during this time, Xiao Mingzhu, even if you see some chaos outside, remember that as long as it doesn't endanger you, don't be nosy, stay in your own room."

I really want to tell her about the days when I lived in Jijiu East Courtyard by myself, as long as the fight outside didn't hit me, I slept by myself, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it.

What a good example. It's a pity I can't tell her. "Didn't the emperor just change the guard outside the bamboo garden?"

The news was brought to me by Mingzhu, although I can't confirm the reason. But I knew that He Yanzhi would not be a whim, but should be a move only when he was alert to some kind of crisis. "The emperor may also be worried about this period of time, and the palace is not peaceful." I pondered.

In fact, I haven't thought about this matter very thoroughly, what is the reason why He Yanzhi replaced the guards overnight, and the four words are still a little vague in the end.

But He Yanzhi is the only person here who can have the final say, how he arranges the manpower of Lin De Hall and what kind of errands he assigns, he can't be questioned.

If it's for last night's incident, I have concerns about it really having something to do with Xiaosi, I'm afraid that in this way, the difficulty will increase tonight!

Not good news! "Mingzhu, they only have one master to protect, we are not the focus of their protection, at the critical moment, we still have to be clever."

"You're so scary!" She shuddered.

I reached out and put the comb in the mirror into the makeup, looked at Mingzhu calmly and said, "If I don't scare you, I'm worried that you won't remember!" "Xiaoling, I know, I must stay honest after nightfall, and what happens outside has nothing to do with me." Mingzhu nodded when he heard this.

"Not to mention others, it's just that those secret guards themselves are scary enough, and they come and go without a trace, even if we know that they are here to protect the garden." Mingzhu said in a trance.

The cold wind blew from the window, and she stepped closer and carefully closed the window. "By the way, what Xiao Si told you in the morning, don't tell anyone else," I said calmly to Mingzhu, "I don't need to mention this, you know it, right?" “

Mingzhu pursed her lips and said, "Sister Xiaoling, I'm not stupid, don't worry." “

After closing the window, Mingzhu came over and grinned and hugged my uninjured arm. "Sister, you live alone in such a big room, aren't you scared at night?" "When I first arrived at Lin De Palace, there were three people in the same room, and it happened that both of them were busy and often absent, and I always felt a little scared when I was alone." "There are a lot of trees in the courtyard of the Lin De Palace, and when the wind blows, you can hear the sound outside."

I walked around the room, and Mingzhu followed me step by step: "According to me, it's best when it's still a training camp, and I can still sleep with you in a chuang." "If you want, you can stay." I listened quietly to what she had to say, and then I stopped and said happily. "No," Mingzhu sniffed and waved his hand, "You live here, and the emperor treats you differently, I know." “

At dinnertime, Mingzhu stayed in the building to eat with me.

It was still the expressionless palace maid who came to deliver the food, but there were two more dishes in the box.

My first reaction was what He Yanzhi meant, and after thinking about it, I realized that it must be the kitchen master who thanked me for my help in the morning, so I accepted this thank you with peace of mind.

It's just that after a meal, more than half of the dishes went to Mingzhu's stomach.

She's smaller, but she eats more than I do

At nightfall. Pearl leaves.

After she was gone, I went to the window and opened a gap in the closed window.

No sleepiness. I read under the lamp, glancing at the window from time to time, waiting for the person who was about to appear!

Usually, this is when there will be spoilers.

Unfortunately, my hunch came true once again!

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps on the stairs, I realized that He Yanzhi must have come looking for me.

The person I'm waiting for can't come in and find me with such a loud bang.

It didn't take long. He stopped, stood outside, and coughed softly.

I put down my book and went to meet him at the top of the stairs.

He Yanzhi held a box in his hand. My gaze rested on the box he had brought, and I wondered what was inside.

Under the lamp, he sat down at the table and took a sip of the tea I had poured and opened the box.

I looked over. His gaze froze. He turned to him and said, "It's all here, you don't have to send it here." ”

Inside the box were ointment to bandage the wound and a clean white cloth.

I raised my arm and shook it, "It's almost better, I don't need any more medicine." ”

"I actually know a little bit of medical skills, Huang Guijun, I have learned some from people, and there is no problem at all in dealing with a small injury on weekdays."

He Yanzhi lowered his eyelashes and said in a low voice: "Those who are injured by fire can be big or small. ”

"It's really fine, thank you for worrying."

He Yanzhi no longer insisted. Fingers tapped on the edge of the box, and said in a slow tone: "Xiaoling, I was in the study before." Do you have anything else to tell me? ”

"It just so happened that the steward of the palace banquet came and interrupted in the middle of the way, he spoke trivially, it was all chores in the palace, I saw that you couldn't bear to listen, so I let you leave first."

It turned out that he found out the clue!

"You guessed?" I laughed, knowing that sending the medicine was just an excuse he had made for himself, and that he was here to ask about the few words I hadn't finished talking about.

"I want to ask you, are you familiar with that Su Guijun in the palace?" I fixed my mind and asked him.

He Yanzhi was slightly stunned, his eyes looked at me, his dark and deep eyes were puzzled, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiaoling, why did you think of asking this person?" ”

There was hesitation in his eyes, but he still followed my topic and continued: "Su Hyun has a cold personality and doesn't interact with people very much, so he can avoid entertainment in the palace." ”

"He likes to read, and he has more books in that area than I do." He Yanzhi thought for a while.

"It turned out that there weren't so many, but something happened in the palace a few years ago, so"

He Yanzhi closed his eyes, his face was pale, and his fingers trembled a little, "Most of the books left by Emperor Chaohua have been taken away by him. ”

"Lin De Hall also has it, but there are not many left." Having said this, He Yanzhi sighed quietly.

I frowned and looked at him and said, "You are the biggest in our palace, right?" ”

He Yanzhi opened his eyes and looked back at me with a strange gaze, because I seemed to be in a better mood because of my words, and the corners of his mouth opened up and smiled: "Xiaoling, what do you want to say?" ”

"Whether it is Su Guijun or other beauties, will the list of palace people who enter and leave be written down and handed over to you for your review?"

"It depends on who it is," He Yanzhi said, "If you want to be promoted, there will definitely be a booklet coming, such as the promotion of the palace maid to a female official or something." ”

"If it's a small change, is it completely up to them to make their own decisions, I mean the masters of each palace."

"That's right," He Yan said.

"I understand," I said to myself, "for example, in Su Guijun's own place, as long as he doesn't promote the palace maid to be a female official, he doesn't need to report it to someone from outside to do general errands, such as cleaning the courtyard, helping with the kitchen, etc." ”

"Are there any exceptions?" My heart skipped a beat and I asked.

"Let's say"

"For example, if both sides see the same palace maid, they have to choose their own place, will they make trouble and make trouble for you?"

He Yanzhi looked at me in a daze, and the expression on his face was rich for a moment.

I thought that what I just said was a little inappropriate, and it was easy to have some kind of association, so I hurriedly said: "I'm talking about Su Guijun's matter." ”

These things are haunting in my heart, and it seems that only He Yanzhi is the best person to answer in the entire palace, and the affairs of the harem must pass through his hands, right?

"There is no such thing in the palace," He Yanzhi glanced at me and said, "Even if there are some entanglements, no one will hurt and be angry for a palace maid, at least on the surface, there is definitely no such thing, and it is not clear whether it is stumbling in private or something." ”

"However, as far as I know, the Sealand Palace has been quiet for many years, and it is rare for such a thing to happen, and the situation you are talking about is actually not existing."

He Yanzhi stood up, paced around the room twice and stopped in front of me and said, "There really isn't." ”

"Isn't there any precedent?" I couldn't believe it, I asked.

"Xiaoling, there are also palaces that try their best to win His Majesty's attention." "If His Majesty is favored, then from the degree of food and clothing to the selection of subordinates, who will not know how to collide?!"

"With an advantage, there is naturally more room for selecting and even promoting people."

He Yanzhi looked at me and said helplessly: "If you want to say that it is almost impossible to make a stumbling block, which one do you think Your Majesty will maintain?" “

"So no one will waste time doing such meaningless things, the direction of the wind in the palace has always been clear, and whichever side is favored will point to which side."

"If you have the heart to think about your majesty, how can you have the leisure to fight for the people below."

I looked at He Yanzhi blankly, and subconsciously said, "Are you the same?" ”

"I," He Yanzhi sighed, "I'm a little different, but I can't tell you right now." ”

I was stunned when I heard it, and I couldn't help but say, "I can see it, you don't care." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't speak well, I didn't hold my mouth for a while, please don't blame."

I regretted my mistake and looked at him apologetically.

There was a brief silence in the room, and after the silence, I thought for a moment and said, "Did you work hard to get here from the Penglai Pavilion Flower Garden?" “

I was the only one left in the room, and I walked to the window and glanced through the open window to see the garden below.

I saw He Yanzhi standing under the bamboo in the garden, his figure was silent, and it seemed that he was a little out of place with the garden of Lin De Palace, as if he did not belong here.

I watched him and watched him walk slowly into the woods.

The pale cyan robe was hidden in the woods, and somehow, I felt sad when I looked at it.

It felt like he wasn't worth it.

I think he's different from the other beauties I've heard and seen in the palace.

When he talked to me about the principle of survival in the palace and the word competition for favor, he was more indifferent in his eyes, indifference from the outside.

I can't see through He Yanzhi, there are too many mysteries on him!

I lay on the chuang and fell asleep in a daze.

In the fog, I actually returned to the courtyard where I lived in Qibei, a small building near the water, facing the moon and the wind.

In the green courtyard, I watched the butterflies flutter among the flowers.

I sat on the shore of the lake, my own shadow reflected in the water.

This is my face, not the face of the Sealand Palace after deliberately making ugly clothes in order to hide my identity! (To be continued......)
