Chapter 144: Knowing the face but not the heart
Concubine Lan turned around and looked at the little maid who spoke as if surprised, and praised with a gentle face:
"If we can solve it in this way, it will naturally be the best, we are self-sufficient, and we can be regarded as setting an example for the whole palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Hui'er, just do as she says! β
The other palace people all cast envious eyes at the little maid, and the little maid's heart was also beautiful - to solve Concubine Lan's troubles, her good will be indispensable in the future, so she will become more and more positive.
Hui'er glanced back at Concubine Lan, and deliberately said to herself with a difficult look:
"But where did you get this cotton?"
When the attendants heard this, they immediately thought hard and meditated, if they could talk to Concubine Lan like Ah Chun, they couldn't ask for it.
One of the eunuchs had a gleam in his eyes, and he hurriedly stood up and hung his head and bowed back to Concubine Lan:
"Niangniang, what flowers and plants are planted in the palace, inside and out, if you want to pick cotton, you can only go outside the palace."
Concubine Lan twisted the handkerchief and brushed the tip of her nose, she saw that the eunuch had confidence on his face, and knew that the other party must have an idea, so she gave the other party a chance to show off:
"Really? How good is that? It's especially troublesome to go out of the palace, let alone such a big thing as a sesame mung bean......"
Hearing this, the eunuch took a few steps forward proudly, and Concubine Lan frowned, and raised the veil again to block Qiong's nose.
"Niangniang, although cotton has never been planted in the palace, there are reeds in the Huaqing Pond, and the reed wadding is lighter, thinner and softer than cotton! Why don't you give it a try? β
Concubine Lan nodded at the eunuch with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and was about to send these obstructive people to pick reeds at Huaqing Pond, but unexpectedly, the little maid from before opened her mouth with a nervous expression:
"Niangniang, what the prince said is indeed true, but this reed floc is very easy to get out of the quilt, even if it is gently patted - it will float out a lot. The prince may not know that in the slave and maid's hometown, young children are not allowed to use the bedding made of reed wadding, because it chokes on their mouths and noses and blocks their breathing. The mother is delicate, and this method doesn't seem to work. β
When the eunuch who was called the prince heard the words of the little maid, his face was shocked, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said for mercy:
"Mother's forgiveness! Mother's forgiveness! The minions don't know! I don't know if this reed catkins will have any drawbacks! The slave is just bent on solving the trouble in the mother's heart! I also hope that Niangniangnian will spare the slave for the sake of the minion's loyalty, and this time it will not be an example! β
The prince glared at Ah Chun viciously, obviously blaming Ah Chun for not stabbing Lou Zi. Seeing this, Ah Chun lowered his head at a loss, in response to the saying that good intentions are not rewarded.
Concubine Lan originally wanted to drive this group of attendants to Huaqingchi, and didn't want the child named Ah Chun to be too sincere, but in fact, Concubine Lan was a little unhappy in her heart, thinking that Ah Chun had ruined her business, but she couldn't show it at this time.
And when Concubine Lan saw Hui'er looking at the vestibule from time to time, Concubine Lan was also a little anxious - if the people waiting outside the door thought that she was unwilling to summon her, wouldn't it add another serious sin and make her feel even more guilty.
Besides, Concubine Lan didn't know who was waiting outside the door, and she didn't know what the other person's intention was to find her now, so she couldn't let the other person go, and she needed to see the previous side to know the pros and cons.
Concubine Lan smiled lightly and raised her hand, signaling the princess to get up, and at the same time looked at Ah Chun with a happy face:
"You are both not at fault, you both want to solve problems for the palace, just a careless one, a little more meticulous, but you can make up for each other's shortcomings, but it is perfect!"
Hearing Concubine Lan say this, Ah Chun felt a lot better, so he secretly glanced at the princess, who expected that the other party still had fierce eyes, thinking that Concubine Lan's words were disadvantageous.
From this point of view, Concubine Lan is not as pure-hearted, virtuous, generous, tolerant and decent as she seems. Otherwise, it will not be very obvious to depreciate one and praise the other, and no one can tell what is good about the prince and father-in-law, and perfection is just politeness.
Concubine Lan doesn't like Ah Chun to be troublesome, but Ah Chun doesn't know Concubine Lan's intentions at all, otherwise why would she offend Concubine Lan for the sake of Concubine Lan's physical well-being, wouldn't she be full of food.
Concubine Lan deliberately favored Ah Chun, making the princess angry with Ah Chun, and also solved the depression in her heart, it can be seen that Concubine Lan is very urban and very good at fiddling with people's hearts.
Besides, sending away a group of attendants, Concubine Lan could not have been so troublesome, but in a short period of time, she estimated every detail, so that outsiders would not be suspicious, and her subordinates would not secretly speculate.
Concubine Lan hid too deeply, and almost deceived everyone, I am afraid that only Hui'er knows that Concubine Lan is different from the outside, but the stupid Hui'er is too naΓ―ve, so that she has always thought that her master is very white. Maybe when Hui'er becomes smarter one day, her life talisman will be invalid.
After Concubine Lan made the princess completely hold a grudge against Ah Chun, she looked at Hui'er and said:
"This palace is just used to cushion under the body, there should be no problem, and when the palace needs are not so tight, it will be replaced with a good one, but right now-this palace wants to have a good night's sleep."
Hui'er nodded again and again when she heard this:
"What Niangniang said is that using reed wadding as the filling of the mattress is just an expedient measure, and the slave will be careful for the mother, and will definitely not let the mother be choked by the reeds!"
Lan Fei smiled:
"Good! Tell me to go downβ"
Hui'er took the order, then turned to a group of attendants, and instructed with a stern face:
"Later, you all go with the prince to pick reed flowers, and leave me alone to wait for my mother." There is no need to rush back and forth when you have finished picking it - it is important to clean the cotton wool and sew it out as quickly as possible, and if the reed wool is easy to fly out, wrap it in a few more sheets of satin. All in all - don't ask the mother to wait too long, is it clear? β
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Hui'er nodded with relief, then looked back at Concubine Lan, and then slapped her head and shouted:
"Yikes! I have to get a cloak for the prince! Niangniang, the elm head of the slave, please forgive the mother......"
Lan Feijiao laughed, shook her head and said angrily:
"You girl! Wang Gonggong, now let them go to Huaqingchi, they can't see clearly at night, light a few more palace lights, and call Jin'er's subordinates to the front of the hall to wait when they go out. β
Listening to Concubine Lan's concerned words, the princess guessed that Concubine Lan should not have made a note on him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, greeted Concubine Lan respectfully, and took a group of palace people out of the main hall-
Qi Sheng, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, had an expression on his face that became colder and colder, and he thought that the woman did not want to see her, and even wanted to delay the time so that he had to leave.
However, when Qi Sheng saw the attendants walking out of the hall one after another, he dispelled his previous doubts, only blindly pursed his lips and sneered, and said in his heart - in order to cover up your secrets back then, you really took great pains.
When the prince saw Qi Sheng, he nodded hurriedly and told Qi Sheng to enter the vestibule and wait, and the things that King Zhao wanted would be sent out by Hui'er immediately, Qi Sheng politely thanked him, and entered Yilian Xuan at the right time.
The reason why Qi Sheng was not in a hurry to break into Concubine Lan's inner hall and waited in the vestibule was because he had noticed that the eunuch had mentioned Hui'er, so he was afraid that there was still a maid guarding inside, so he could only be a little calm. (To be continued.) )
