Hui'er raised the veil to the center of her eyebrows, and waited for a long time without seeing Concubine Lan make any moves, so she raised her eyes to look at it with a puzzled face.

I saw Concubine Lan staring at the square handkerchief and was stunned in place, Hui'er has followed Concubine Lan for more than ten years, and she has never seen Concubine Lan react like this when she encounters anything, Hui'er was surprised at the same time, and said cautiously:

"Mother?"

Concubine Lan turned her head violently, staring at Hui'er with shocked and jealous eyes, and then grabbed Hui'er's emaciated shoulders with a panicked face and asked:

"Where did you get the silk handkerchief in your hand?"

Hui'er was stunned by Concubine Lan's startled performance, she opened her mouth but didn't make any sound, Concubine Lan, who was almost collapsed, couldn't be dignified anymore, and seeing that Hui'er didn't react, she dragged Hui'er's clothes and shook violently, and asked again with a raised voice:

"This palace asks you where this thing came from!"

Hui'er trembled and pointed in the direction of the gate, as if she was about to come out, and stammered back:

"Lord Wang...... Rajah...... The one sent by the prince to convey the message to the slave and maid—"

After hearing this, Concubine Lan's limbs instantly became sore, and she sat down on the ground with a thud, her eyes were sad as she stared at the direction Hui'er was pointing, and if she looked closely, she would find that Concubine Lan's fingertips had sunk into the flesh at the moment, and she was trying her best to restrain her inexplicable out-of-control emotions.

Out of the friendship between the master and servant who have supported each other for many years, even though the sudden madness of the blue concubine scared Hui'er a lot, Hui'er still didn't forget to ask with concern:

"Mother? What's wrong with you? ”

Hui'er's cautious inquiry made Concubine Lan sober up a lot, and she secretly lamented in her heart: It's useless to escape, and self-deception is even more ridiculous, what should come will always come, and I have to face it.

After a while, Concubine Lan looked at Hui'er calmly:

"Bengong didn't scare you, did he?"

Hui'er bit her lip and shook her head, bent down to help Concubine Lan up, and then guessed with anxiety:

"Niangniang, did this veil inadvertently anger Niangniang? The slave will return this thing immediately! Just now, the slave maid also smelled an indescribable incense on this handkerchief, and said, the mother doesn't like incense on weekdays, it's the slave and maid who are careless! It's all bad to blame the slaves! ”

Concubine Lan glanced at Hui'er with a smile, her uneasy mood improved a lot, she raised her hand and rubbed Hui'er's shoulder, and said in a gentle and drizzly manner:

"What a silly girl! Hurt you, right? Count it - you've been following this palace for more than ten years......"

Looking back at Hui'er, who was flattered and grateful, Concubine Lan continued:

"Originally, you and I have been together for many years, and there should be no secrets between each other - but there are some things that I don't let you know, it's for your own good, Hui'er, do you understand?"

Hui'er pursed her lips tightly, her face seemed to understand, but her eyes were extremely firm, and she nodded vigorously:

"Mother, slave understands! Everyone has their own little secrets, and some secrets are not to be shared! Besides, Niangniang thinks so much about Hui'er, Hui'er is fortunate to follow Niangniang to serve Niangniang, and she is already a blessing for Hui'er's ancestors! ”

Hui'er's half-understood reasoning made Concubine Lan smile bitterly when she heard it, and Xu didn't want to explain more, so she nodded in agreement.

"Where's the veil? Take it out and let Hongu take a look. ”

Hui'er saw that Concubine Lan had become normal, so she smiled and went to look for the veil, and found that the handkerchief had been thrown to the ground, and was about to bend down to pick it up, but saw Concubine Lan condescending to kneel down and pick up the handkerchief.

Concubine Lan pinched the handkerchief in her palm, staring at the Qinglian embroidered on the handkerchief, her eyes were red and she was reluctant to look away, so she looked at it for a long time......

When she looked up again, the sadness on Concubine Lan's face was gone, replaced by solemnity, she took Hui'er's hand and looked directly into Hui'er's simple eyes:

"Hui'er, what I just said to you, can you really understand?"

Hui'er looked hesitant when she heard this, on the one hand, she didn't want to disappoint Concubine Lan, and on the other hand, she really didn't understand it thoroughly. After frowning and thinking for a moment, Hui'er decided that it was better to tell the truth, otherwise it would be as simple as disappointing Concubine Lan by doing the wrong errand:

"Niangniang, actually--the slave doesn't quite understand the meaning of what Niangniang Shicai said-"

Concubine Lan sighed helplessly, worried about how to help Hui'er open her mind, otherwise without someone she trusted to help cover up, wouldn't it be a catastrophe.

Just as Concubine Lan lowered her head and thought about it, she heard Hui'er say again:

"But Niangniang, before you ask Hui'er to do anything, you only need to hint at whether Hui'er's matter can be regarded as a secret, and Hui'er can tell. But if the mother doesn't want Hui'er to ask, Hui'er will never mention it! But if Niangniang doesn't want outsiders to know, Hui'er will do her best to keep the secret for Niangniang! Hui'er is stupid, and I hope that Niangniang will not dislike ......"

Hui'er's voice became smaller and smaller, for fear that Concubine Lan would annoy her, and she didn't want Hui'er to muster up the courage to look at Concubine Lan, but Concubine Lan was actually pleased and comforted.

Hui'er's sensibility made Concubine Lan a lot easier, so she could rest assured and boldly meet the old man who had bad intentions. So, Concubine Lan leaned close to Hui'er's ear, told Hui'er that what she was going to do next was a secret, and then instructed Hui'er how to keep the others away, and after all the details were considered, Concubine Lan and Hui'er returned to the main hall.

Concubine Lan leaned on the chaise longue as usual, and after changing several postures, she couldn't help frowning and sighing softly.

After receiving the hint, Hui'er hurriedly approached Concubine Lan and asked:

"Is the mother unwell? The slave maid went to Xuan Taiyi to take a look? ”

Concubine Lan shook her head and complained softly:

"This mattress is too hard, so that the palace is uncomfortable, and I can't sleep well-"

Hui'er cat bent down and rubbed the mattress on the couch, and then scolded with an exaggerated expression:

"Yikes! It must be the wrong one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! The mattress is so hard, it's not like the mother can't sleep well! ”

Concubine Lan lowered her eyelids, pretending to be a compassionate response:

"A while ago, the war was tight, and I was on a tight diet, and of course the Internal Affairs Office had to do things according to the rules, but my body was not angry, and I was spoiled, hey......"

Hui'er was not reconciled when she heard this, and continued to shout with a reluctant face:

"Mother, you are considerate of those stupid minions! Have they ever thought about their mothers? His Majesty regards Niangniang as a treasure, even if the palace advocates frugality, His Majesty will definitely be reluctant to let Niangniang suffer! Why don't you go to the Internal Affairs Office to ask for the guilt, and let the silk spinning lady rush out of a good bed for the mother overnight? ”

Concubine Lan's face was slightly stunned, and she reprimanded softly:

"Confused! If all my sisters had used such a mattress, how could I have no reason? Besides, it is a good thing that Your Majesty treats everyone equally, so why should you bother to embarrass a bunch of minions? ”

"......"

Concubine Lan twisted her face to the side, waved her hand and spoke with an ugly face:

"No more talk!"

Hui'er looked at the maids and eunuchs behind her for help, and sure enough, a young maid stood up timidly and proposed to Concubine Lan:

"Niangniang - the female red of the slave maid is quite passable, if Aunt Hui'er can get some cotton wool, the slave can sew a soft cushion for the maid, and spread the cushion on the mattress, which will make the maid feel a lot more comfortable!"
