Although Chaofeng Palace is not far from Lingxian Palace, it will take a lot of time to walk.

Qingluan chose to walk from Jingfang Road, a path under the palace wall, trying to avoid the princes and ministers of the next dynasty, but he also met many palace maids who used to be on errands together. With different identities, they mostly smiled and saluted, but there was no friendliness in their eyes, which also showed that if the master could not be favored, he would definitely be annoying.

The red tile glazed bricks shimmer in the sun, and although there is some snow on the branches of the dead trees, some of them have sprouts, which are covered on the branches in a fine manner, like vitality in the cold. This spring is really early, and the washed sky is clear and clear, as if it has been dispelled from the haze of winter. Walking all the way, there were some beads of sweat oozing from my underwear, and my body was slightly hot, but my face was much better.

Qingluan didn't feel that he had hummed his hometown tune, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly felt a little out of shape, and two blushes appeared on his face. She turned around, looked at Shui Qiao but seemed to be telling herself, and said with a light smile: "With my temperament, I really can't be a little master." ”

"The little lord should have been happy," Shui Qiao smiled and blinked, his dark eyes shining like pearls, "only I can make myself happy in this world." ”

Seeing her so serious, Qingluan burst out laughing and grabbed her with disgust. Although there was still some morning fog ahead, the top of the heavy eaves of the Lingxian Palace could already be faintly seen. The red eaves are like birds spreading their wings and soaring towards the sky. The above list of rare beasts, shining a golden halo through the sun, gorgeous and magnificent is breathtaking.

They could not enter through the main hall, so they only handed the sign at the side door. After waiting for a long time, the small red door was slowly opened, revealing an unfamiliar face. Concubine Chen has always been difficult to serve, and the palace people have been reprimanded by her, Qingluan has been gone for several months, and it is not surprising that there is a new person here.

The palace maid in front of her is about twenty-four or five years old, dressed slightly higher, and should not be an ordinary subordinate. Seeing that the person who came was Qingluan, he roughly saluted and said, "The little lord is auspicious." However, even though she called the little lord in her mouth, her head was indeed held high proudly, and there was no respect at all.

There is a saying that dogs fight human power, Concubine Chen is also considered to be windy and rainy in the harem, and even the queen is afraid of the master, her subordinates are fake tigers, and it is naturally not an unusual thing to show her teeth and claws. Qingluan only came here for another purpose, so he didn't want to worry about her, so he only nodded to explain his intention.

It's just that the palace maid obviously didn't mean to give in, but leaned on the door frame and looked at the two of them. After being presumptuous like this for a while, she said lazily: "Niangniang has been very unwell recently, and I only see the grade above the nobleman." The little lord is like this...... It is categorically inconvenient for the slaves and maids to let them go. ”

The words have been said to such an extent that even the meaning of contempt is clearly revealed, obviously Concubine Chen specially taught others to ridicule herself. Qingluan was not annoyed, and said tepidly: "Please also inform Concubine Chen, just say that I have something important to do this time." As he spoke, he casually removed an agate hairpin and pinned it to the thick black hair of the other party. Only then did the palace man restrain his anger a little, brushed his sleeves away, and closed the door tightly as soon as he turned around.

It's almost noon at this time, and the warm light roasts people are also itchy. Although you can see the traces of winter snow on the red wall of red tiles, the wind is no longer so cold, and it is like a world away for a while. After years of smuggling, after a few spring and autumn seasons, it has been empty, and most of the people who were in their hearts and minds when they were young will also fade their faces and become less angular.

Qingluan sighed, if she was still well kept in the palace at that time, she would definitely go to see it, the person she once admired had changed a few times.

"One life is displaced, and Sijun is empty day and night."

"Little Lord ......" I don't know how Qingluan could suddenly give birth to a desolation, Shui Qiao took two steps closer and whispered, "Little Lord can't stand the attitude of the palace people?" ”

Qingluan suddenly raised his head, a strand of hair fell on the neck socket, and his smile was already a little jerky. At this moment, the door opened again, but it was still only a thin slit, and there was no intention of letting people through.

The palace man held a wooden plate, and the green thing on it was clearly made of jade into a fishbone-like ornament, which was presented to the woman. "It's still inconvenient for the mother to see people, but she told the slave to come out with a congratulatory gift."

Qingluan immediately understood that this fish bone was originally a spurned thing after others chewed, not to mention that the carving was not exquisite, and the whole body was emerald green to take the word "green", which ironically weighed on a girl like Shui Qiao could also see through it at a glance. Besides, in the face of such a generous gift, Qingluan still accepted it with a smile and behaved very respectfully.

"The fish bone is the jade bone, and the mother takes this homonym, hoping that the little master can also be as flawless as this jade." The people in that palace spoke smartly, and while watching the excitement, their words were seamless. She paused, and when she saw that Qingluan had accepted the reward but still had no intention of leaving, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth. It's just that she only has a lunar calendar between her eyebrows and eyes, and she doesn't see half of the kindness.

"The little master also has to understand his identity, after all, the jade steps of Ling Immortal Palace are not something that anyone can step on if they want to. The slave maid heard that the little master was also born in Baoyi, and now it is rare to get a promise, and people always have to take a few taels of light on themselves. ”

"Sister's words are inappropriate," the aggressive tone made Shui Qiao, who has always been gentle as water, also annoyed, "The little master is a new favorite and the master of the people." Although my sister has a long face for Concubine Chen, how can I see that our little master will not forget you when he is beautiful in the future? ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the palace people immediately turned blue and white, and even Qingluan couldn't help but be shocked, unable to believe that these words came from Shui Qiao's mouth. But in many cases, the subordinate is indeed extremely important, and some words that do not conform to the identity are said by others, which can have a different deterrent effect. It's just that Qingluan knows that Concubine Chen is not a vegetarian, and she doesn't want Shui Qiao to do this for her.

Sure enough, before the other party could reply a few words, a lazy voice sounded behind the door, "This palace also said whose maid is so eloquent." ”

The palace man at the door lowered his head and stepped aside with his waist in his mouth. Dressed in an ink-colored pleated skirt and tassel shirt, Concubine Chen, who was dressed in a white velvet orangutan felt, walked out slowly with her support, her posture was tactful and charming, and her eyes were not angry and arrogant. Shui Qiao's figure was obviously shocked, obviously frightened by Concubine Chen's deterrence. Coupled with this aura, Rao is Qingluan was also a little panicked.

She saw Concubine Chen's eyes looking at her coldly, and she hurriedly leaned over and said, "The concubine has seen Niangniang, Niangniang is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Jin An Wanfu doesn't dare to think about it," the corners of Concubine Chen's mouth raised, and her smile was quite mocking, "Even a subordinate dares to save the face of this palace, why should I be so humble when I promise you." ”

"It's the concubine who teaches no way ......"

"Since it is inconvenient, you must teach it well, come to someone, and bring this person who doesn't understand the rules down to be trained." At the sound of an order, the previously high-spirited palace people beside her seemed to come alive, with a faint light shining in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to get rid of their hatred.

Qingluan didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of Concubine Chen, so after hesitating, Shui Qiao had been buckled by the palace people's arm, and a purple mark was pinched. This palace maid is not very old, but she is full of resentment, and the fierceness in her eyes is enough to burn the delicate water into ashes.

When she increased her wrist strength, Qingluan resolutely stopped in front of the two. Her outstretched arm was as white as a lotus, and the jade bracelet on her wrist shone a beautiful blue color through the light, reflecting Qingluan's delicate eyebrows.
