Immediately, a palace man leaned forward and stretched out his arm to put on the queen mother's white palm. The nail covers on the fingertips are all made of gold, and the rhinestones inlaid with red beads shine brightly, so that people can't open their eyes.

As soon as the Queen Mother got up, the concubines naturally knelt down with her. Qingluan knelt stiffly on the top of the main hall, and even if he didn't listen to it, he could hear all kinds of laughing and sarcastic voices. She just didn't move, her head drooping deeply, her gaze sweeping to the ground burning like a sword piercing her heart as the taunts of the crowd. They never dared to show this unprecedented shame in front of Concubine Chen, and Qingluan, just because she was just a humble palace maid, they could eat away at her dignity without any worries. Yes, I didn't deserve to appear in this palace. However, even the high-ranking concubine is just a sacrifice in the harem. They are all pitiful people, why do they have to be so aggressive.

Qingluan raised his head abruptly, his eyes were still calm as before, but the shadow in his eyes was a little heavier.

As she walked slowly out of Fushou Palace, she saw the painted clouds leaning on the red pillar. Now it is not what it used to be, as the queen mother's personal maid, there is also a side six grades, far above the small masters, and even the clothes of the green cangbu have been replaced by brocade palace robes made of tencel, which looks more graceful and graceful from a distance, and has a unique charm.

Seeing her coming, Qingluan naturally wanted to avoid her head as a sign of etiquette. I didn't want the woman who had never had a relationship to stop in front of her, a pair of beautiful eyes looked her up and down, and her tone was sarcastic and pitiful: "It's really ugly." Do you think that a subordinate in the palace will have the same luck as me, and be chosen by the queen mother by his side? She paused, and saw that Qingluan was silent, but became more and more arrogant, "Look at your usual quietness, and you don't compete for merit before and after, why are you bold today." Rao is the queen, no matter how gentle and demure she is, she is also a woman, you are so surprised, but you want to steal the limelight from the masters? Concubine Chen chose you impartially, I really don't know what her intentions are."

"Xie Lu, Aunt Xie mentioned it, it is indeed Qingluan's overstep."

Unexpectedly, the young maid in front of her was so comfortable with her arrogant duties, and Huiyun was speechless after a moment's pause. It was a war of words to kill time, but at this moment, it ended without a problem, and she felt very bored. The woman holding the temples stretched her neck, hummed a note from her nose as a reply, and walked away with her toes high.

Qingluan didn't have time to care about how she was ridiculed, not because she was stupid, but because that terrible thought was repeated in her mind like a ghost - Concubine Chen wanted to get rid of her, get rid of this slave who controlled her own key points. Once this idea appeared, she couldn't help but ignore it, and even the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was exactly the case.

After all, the emperor just wants to calm things down about Concubine Xin, but it doesn't mean that he won't thoroughly investigate the truth, not to mention that he himself has been noticed by the emperor, and some details are not difficult to find out that there are loopholes as long as they are patiently interrogated. She wants to know this, not to mention Xing Yan who is in the harem.

Concubine Chen doesn't need to do it herself, and hand over the people she wants to execute to the harem, a place of right and wrong, and the jealousy of those palace concubines will burn people to the ground. How could she forget that killing people with a knife was a perfect means for Concubine Chen, and this person had always been cold-blooded and ruthless, how could she naively think that telling a lie would eliminate her worries about herself, so as to sit back and relax.

This fool almost lost his life for a while!

However, even if he didn't want to, Ling Xian Palace still had to go back. As a subordinate, even if he knows that the road is in front of Longtan Tiger's Den, there is no choice. Qingluan let out a long sigh, she only begged Concubine Chen to have a little mercy, for the sake of her three years of service, to give her a good place.

However, it backfired, and Qing Luan, who stepped into the gate of Lingxian Palace, sensed an extraordinary aura.

Concubine Chen was grounded for three months, if it was common sense, the palace gate should have been deserted, and the door could be crowded. The concubines who have always been unfavored have been humiliated, and it is not uncommon for them to be bullied by their subordinates. It's just that the people in the palace are still smart, and it is only a matter of time before they regain favor with Xing Yan's wrist, not only did they not slack off in the slightest, but they were diligent in everything, and they had the potential to catch up with and surpass the past.

Before entering the main palace, a maid stopped Qingluan and persuaded: "Sister, don't return to your life at this time, which has swept the emperor's interest." ”

When Qingluan heard this, his eyes were shocked: "Your Majesty? ”

"Yes, the emperor misses our master, and he just came here today after morning when he didn't even have breakfast," the palace maid paused, and her face was unabashedly happy, "The masters of this side hall have gritted their silver teeth when they see it." ”

is obviously grounded but can still be favored by the emperor, how can she not be jealous. Qingluan smiled lightly and nodded, his eyes looking around seemingly casually. She followed the direction of the little palace maid's side gaze, and sure enough, the masters who were dressed up gorgeously and gracefully were peeking uneasily at the main hall one by one. Qingluan should accept the palace maid on his lips, but his footsteps did not linger for half a moment - since the emperor came to Lingxian Palace by himself, it was the only opportunity.

Concubine Chen has the opportunity to kill, she has to guard against it, not to mention that she is not Concubine Chen's maid who marries, and she has never talked about any master-servant relationship. Recalling the time when he had just served Concubine Chen, he had seen Xing Yan strangle the personal maid who had grown up together since childhood in the dark room, and Qingluan at that time only felt an indescribable chill spread from the back to the whole body.

It was only because the maid's smile attracted the emperor's usual greeting—but because of this trivial act.

She shook her head, as if to banish the unpleasant memory. As soon as he approached the main hall, he saw Concubine Chen sitting on the side crying pear blossoms and rain. Seeing that she was so good at acting, Qingluan only felt funny, but she still walked into the palace door like no one else, and said respectfully: "I have seen the emperor and the mother." ”

"Qingluan, I've made you suffer." When Concubine Chen saw her enter the door, she turned around and hugged her, crying very aggrieved, "Let you suffer this insult alone, this palace is really ashamed of you, and ask the emperor to make decisions for us." ”

Qingluan hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something, but saw that the man's deep eyes were hitting him. The emperor's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, as if he could see through himself at once. I can't help but think of the night I was stopped in the corridor, and the young man in front of me who was in the wind in the jade tree was obviously only at such a shallow age, but he was already the king that all beings looked up to.

"Niangniang, it's not good to be a slave."

"Qingluan, what did the Queen Mother say to you?" The man spoke slowly, his tone flat without a trace of waves.

Qingluan saw the fleeting ruthlessness in Xing Yan's eyes at that moment, yes, a high-ranking emperor actually remembered his name, whether it was just because she was the personal maid of the favorite concubine, this was enough to make Xing Yan kill again.

"Since the emperor asked, Qingluan, you will say it one by one."

"Back to the emperor, the queen mother did not embarrass the slaves and maids, but only taught the slaves and maids to enter the Cining Palace without permission and did not abide by the palace rules. As for bullying, it is really gossip in the palace, and the emperor must not be angry because of it. ”

The man smiled generously, and something seemed to fade from his eyes. He grabbed Concubine Chen's shoulder with one hand and said affectionately: "Have you heard it, but it's not as serious as what people say, it's a rumor spread by someone who has nothing to do in the palace." Concubine Ai is so smart, when is she willing to be instigated by others. ”

"Your Majesty......" The woman still wanted to distinguish between two sentences, but when she looked up and saw the inadvertent cold light in the eyes of the saint, she weakly suppressed her voice and muttered, "Since the emperor has said so, how dare the concubines not listen." ”

Seeing this scene, I am afraid that there is no need for the temple to continue to stay. Qingluan was just about to retreat in amusement, when he suddenly heard that gentle voice sound again, and the hall seemed to become clear.

"The brocade box in your hand contains Laba porridge made by Concubine Ai."

Qingluan subconsciously opened the brocade box, and the new porridge in the small bead flower edge bowl was still faintly steaming, and the longan was shining with an attractive luster, like a perfect white jade pearl, which made people can't help but have a great appetite.

Seeing this, the man smiled again: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, and I'm a little hungry at the moment. Since it was made by Concubine Ai herself, she couldn't afford it. ”

He smiled very broadly, and there seemed to be a ripple in his deep eyes, which made people's hearts feel soothed for no reason. The woman beside her had already smiled, and something called a flattering color spontaneously arose from her smile. "I'm stunned to do something, why don't you bring the porridge quickly."

Qingluan raised his head, and for a moment, his eyes were full of resistance. After a while, he said calmly.

"Your Majesty, you can't drink this porridge."
