In the Yong'an Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The crown princess Cui put the box of jewelry she got from Lin Yan on the table and showed it to Concubine Cui Xian, and then asked, "Auntie, what do you mean by the queen mother?" ”

If it is a reward, it should also be a new reward, a reward for a box of old jewelry with the queen's mark, what does this mean?

Did the queen want to hint at her with these jewelry?

Cui Shi couldn't figure out what the queen meant all the way, so he had to ask Concubine Cui Xian.

My aunt has been in the palace for a long time, and she may be able to guess what the queen means.

Concubine Cui Xian picked up the jewelry on the box and looked at it, they were all some high-quality hairpins and hairpins, delicate and exquisite, but I couldn't say anything special.

Concubine Cui Xian couldn't guess the queen's intentions for a while, so she had to say to her niece: "Since it was the queen's mother who rewarded you, then you can take it." In the future, I wore it every day to ask my mother to say goodbye, and my mother was happy to see it. ”

Cui had no choice but to say yes.

The day is about to enter June, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the weather is getting hotter.

However, because of a few rains in the past two days, the temperature suddenly cooled, and a few people in the palace fell ill.

First, the second princess was sick with a cough, and within two days, even the eldest princess, who had always been in good health, became ill.

Lin Yan went to Xuanhua Palace to visit the second princess and the eldest princess respectively, and after coming back, she first went to change her clothes and wash her hands before coming out of the inner hall, intending to see Princess Rui.

Princess Rui is now learning to walk, while Mu Zhi is standing at both ends with her hands open, and Princess Rui, who is dressed in red, is standing in the middle, looking left and right at the nurse and then at Mu Zhi, looking like she wants to go but doesn't dare to go.

The nurse and Mu Zhi were coaxing her to take a step, but Princess Rui stood there and looked at the ground and didn't dare to go.

Lin Yan looked at her and called with a smile: "Princess Rui, come to the queen mother." ”

Princess Rui saw Lin Yan coming in from outside, her eyes lit up, and she forgot her fear for a while, and finally took steps in her direction.

Lin Yan stretched out her hand, and before she fell, she picked up Princess Rui, who had pounced on her.

Princess Rui smiled and hugged her mother's legs as she looked very happy, and buried her face in her mother's legs, her face very proud.

Lin Yan also looked very happy, hugged her at once, and kissed her on the face a few times. praised and said: "The queen mother's little girl, Princess Rui can actually walk." ”

Princess Rui smiled with a smug look on her face.

Princess Rui took the first step, and then she was not afraid, and struggled to get out of the arms of the queen mother, wanting to go to the queen mother again.

Lin Yan didn't want to detain her, so she put her down, Princess Rui took two steps on the ground, then turned back to look at the queen mother, and after getting the encouraging eyes of the queen mother, she took two more steps, and then came back to see Lin Yan, and then left.

Lin Yan looked at her with a smile, her face was infinitely gentle.

And at this moment, there was a sudden report from the palace outside: "Niangniang, the palace people of the crown princess ask to see you." ”

Lin Yan's heart moved when she heard this, and thought to herself, it's finally here.

She handed Princess Rui to the nurse and said, "Look at the little princess, don't let her walk on the ground for too long, lest she be tired and hurt her bones." ”

The nurse knelt down and said yes, and then Lin Yan kissed Princess Qinrui again, said goodbye to her, and then came out of the inner hall and went to the side hall.

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old palace maid who came, but Lin Yan remembered that she was indeed the palace maid by Cui's side, and she was one of the few that Cui's brought in from outside the palace.

This kind of palace maid who is equivalent to a dowry is generally a palace maid that the Cui family trusts and reuses.

Lin Yan sat down on the chair, the palace maid came forward to salute her, Lin Yan nodded, and then asked, "What did the crown princess ask you to come to the palace for?" ”

The palace maid smiled and said to Lin Yan: "Back to Niangniang's words, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess asked the slave maid to hand over this letter to Niangniang, and invited Niangniang to the Chunxi Palace in the evening. ”

As he spoke, he held the letter above the head of the country with both hands.

The people of the palace took the letter and handed it over to Lin Yan.

But Lin Yan didn't read the letter, but put the letter on the table casually, and asked the palace maid: "Your master can't come to Changkun Palace to talk to the palace in person, you have to invite the palace to the Chunxi Palace." ”

The palace maid looked at the letter that Lin Yan put on the table at will, and said with a smile: "The slave and maid don't know, it's just that the master tells the slave and maid to do what the slave and maid do." After a pause with a smile, he continued: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess also told the slave maid to tell the maid that the mother must read the letter, and ask the mother to go to the Chunxi Palace in the evening, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will wait for the Niangniang in the Chunxi Palace, if the Lady does not go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that she does not know what she will do tomorrow." ”

Lin Yan said: "The palace knows." ”

The maid bent her knees, and then took her leave.

After the palace maid left, Lin Yan and Mu Qing glanced at each other, and Mu Qing had a flash of light in his eyes.

Lin Yan casually picked up the letter on the table and looked at it, it was indeed Cui's handwriting, but what was the content inside......

Lin Yan snorted coldly, put the letter on the candle and burned it, then beckoned Mu Qing over, and whispered a few words, Mu Qing nodded, and then went out.

And now on the other side.

The prince looked at the eunuch who had stopped him in front of him, and had already retreated from the palace people around him according to his request, and then stared at him with sharp eyes, with a gloomy momentum in his eyes, and asked him: "You said that the queen invited Gu to see him in the Chunxi Palace in the evening?" Gu Ke has never seen you in Changkun Palace, what proof do you have to prove that you are really the queen's mother? ”

The little eunuch said: "The slave is indeed not from Changkun Palace, the slave is the apprentice of Ye Gonggong." ”

Gonggong Ye is the great eunuch of Changkun Palace.

Although Lin Yan trusts Mu Qing and Mu Zhi Mulan the most people who have followed her since childhood, there are some things that are inconvenient for palace maids like Mu Qing and Mu Zhi Mulan to do, and they still need an internal servant like Ye Gonggong to do it, so Lin Yan can also rely on Ye Gonggong.

The little eunuch said again: "By the way, the queen mother still has something for the slave to hand over to His Highness, saying that His Highness will definitely believe it when he sees the token." ”

After speaking, he handed over a hairpin wrapped in a handkerchief, and together with the hairpin, there was a handful of women's hair, and the black and bright hair was braided into a concentric knot, tied with a red rope.

The prince picked up the hairpin and looked at it, it was indeed Yuan Yuan's hairpin, he had seen her wear it, and more than once, there was also a "嫤" character engraved in it.

The prince lowered his eyes, put the hairpin back into the handkerchief, wrapped it in a handkerchief and took it along with the handful of hair, and then said, "Lone knows." ”

After saying that, he left. (To be continued.) )
