It is said that Emperor Hengqing came forward to send away Concubine Hua, which was regarded as relieving Ling'er, but she did not give the emperor any face, and still closed the door.

When he returned to the dormitory, Emperor Hengqing summoned Xiao Maozi and instructed: "You take some ointment from the Western Regions and send it to Concubine Hua, and say that I can't go to see him immediately, and I must go to eat with him when I am done." ”

After listening to the order, Xiao Maozi saw that the emperor did not let himself retreat, so he knelt with his eyes and turned around, wondering if the emperor had anything else to do by himself.

"Spread my edict and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs draft a decree to seal the nobles of Wanxiuju, and all the expenses will come from me, and there is no need to have anything to do with other controls, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to disturb them in private." After a pause, he added: "It's good for you to do it quietly, don't make a noise, the less people know, the better, I know that Ling'er likes to be pure, which can be regarded as in line with her temperament." ”

Xiao Maozi stepped back and thought that today's incident was an opportunity. The matter of sealing the nobles is how to cover up themselves, and those officials of the Horizontal and Vertical Internal Affairs Office need to know, and when the time comes, they will push it to the second and sixth five, and it will be over if they say they don't know. What's more, the law does not blame the public, it is difficult to push so many people out. Thinking like this, I felt that the big stone in my heart was loosened, and I walked towards the palace of the concubine.

This Hua Guifei is not small, she is the eldest daughter of Hua Jincheng, a scholar of the Literature Pavilion, and Hua Rui is the sister of her compatriot. The bachelor of the original literary pavilion is not a senior executive, but Hua Jincheng has studied all his life, and there are many disciples who are officials and knights.

Today coincides with Hua Rui entering the palace to play with her sister. Seeing that my sister was not in the palace, she was playing with a starling hanging under the porch. That starling is also a pleasant thing, and Xuehua Guifei speaks like a god, which makes Hua Rui giggle and laugh non-stop.

I was playing and saw my sister coming back from outside, but after a closer look, I found that my sister had changed a lot today, her clothes were messy, she covered her left face with one hand, and she didn't care about herself when she came to the door, and she lowered her head and went into the room.

"What's the matter, God. Could it be that there are still people in the palace who dare to look for their sister? It's too bold, I'm going to ask the emperor to make the decision for you. Blossom said hatefully.

"Sister come back soon, the emperor already knows. Wouldn't it make people laugh at my Hua family for not knowing etiquette if you go again? ”

Hua Rui listened to what her sister said. I had to stomp my feet back. helped the maid to serve Hua Guifei to change her clothes, wash her face and wipe the ointment to dissolve the bruises.

The room was busy, and there was a report from the little palace maid outside. "Grandpa Mao has come to see the concubine."

"Let him wait, don't you see that we are busy here? No matter who comes, just wait two hours before you talk," Blossom shouted angrily outside.

Hua Guifei held down her sister, motioned for her to stand next to her, and ordered, "Father-in-law, come in, it's okay." ”

Xiao Maozi stepped into the door and said after greeting: "The emperor is worried about Niangniang, so he specially asked the servant to send the ointment to enter the palace, and Niangniang will use it first, if it is good, send someone to get it at any time." The emperor said that when he was done, he would come to see you in person and dine with you. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's concern for the concubine, come here, reward my father-in-law with some wine money." As soon as the words fell, a palace maid took a big seal of ten taels and handed it to Xiao Maozi, which is the old rule.

Concubine Hua Guifei motioned for the palace maid to exit the door, and then asked, "Ask my father-in-law, where did that woman come from, it doesn't look like an ordinary famous lady in the capital." ”

Xiao Maozi replied, "Forgive the slave for being stupid, I really don't know about this, and I don't dare to speculate in private, the slave still has to go on an errand for the emperor, so I won't bother and leave." After saying that, he ran away without a trace.

was so anxious that Concubine Hua shouted a few times, and where could she stay with him, he was faster than a monkey.

Hua Rui walked out from behind the screen, and said angrily: "This must have been told a long time ago, where will you show a little bit of wind to you, you are also foolish, but it's okay how my sister would provoke an unknown woman, it is also in vain." ”

It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he is the emperor, regardless of where, when he sees a woman who agrees with him brought into the palace, he will find a title from the head, so that he can serve himself openly.

Hua Guifei said angrily: "How would I know that the emperor casually brought such a rude and pungent character, but two days ago, I passed by the Yangyi Palace, went in to greet my father, and listened to the palace people there nag a few words, and today I went to see the excitement." ”

Seeing that her sister was ashamed and annoyed, Hua Rui also sympathized, so she had to calm down and comfort, "That's it, you should be bitten by a dog, you are now the status of the imperial concubine, if you can continue to win the emperor's favor, it is only right to be crowned the queen one day." ”

Hua Guifei listened to what her sister said sincerely, but she couldn't swallow this breath in her heart, and said angrily: "What Ling'er? I think it's a fox spirit, if it doesn't fall into my hands one day, she will definitely not be able to survive, she can't die. ”

"What? Ling'er? As if she had been immobilized, she repeated this sentence in her mouth.

"Does my sister know her too, tell my sister about it."

Hua Rui told her sister how she participated in the banquet of Xunyinlou, how she was invited to visit, and what happened later.

The sisters described the image of Ling'er to each other, so it was absolutely right to conclude that this Ling'er was the Ling'er seen in Xunyinlou.

The two sisters of the Hua family here are thinking about how to deal with Ling'er, but Wanxiu Curie is particularly lively over there. First of all, the holy decree arrived, and Ling'er sat on the noble, and then all kinds of rewards moved in, not to mention the gold, silver and jewelry, all kinds of strange and clever things were even more dazzling, even the concubine Niangniang and the other concubines in the palace did not get so much. The eunuch who carried things was also curious, and always wanted to glance indoors twice to see what kind of character this new noble man was. Only Xiao Maozi is alert and manages everyone, and no one dares to take one more step in this graceful center.

"The nobles are overjoyed, the slaves and maids congratulate the nobles!" Qin'er led a group of palace maids who were waiting in the middle and knelt down.

Ling'er listlessly took the book and lay on the spring bench, and said lazily: "You see that if you like it, just pick it." The rest will be left for one day when I will be sent to the cold palace so that I can beg for my life. ”

It is naturally taboo to say such unlucky things on a happy day. Ran Qin'er saw that the master hadn't even looked at her, and she didn't dare to persuade her, so she led the palace maids to retreat quietly.

Ling'er sat up at this time, glanced at the cage on the ground, and sighed secretly, even though he had thousands of family wealth, it was very interesting to be a bird in a cage.

She was feeling sad about herself, and sure enough, someone came to her and pointed her the way, to say who this person was. It's really weird.

"Nobleman. The old lady in the palace has come to see you. Qin'er cautiously entered the door, with a smile on her face, but her hands and feet were very restrained, sparing her is the main thing here. Ling'er took one more look.

It's really weird. I have made friends with a very good grandmother in the palace. Except for the Tranquility Palace Lord and Concubine Wan Niangniang, and then the emperor and the emperor knew each other, and the others never found a reason to speak? Ling'er wondered if she should let the man in and speak. Then at this moment, a figure staggered in, "The old slave hasn't seen Miss for a long time, but she has grown so big." After that, he didn't step forward, just looked at Ling'er standing with a smile, the folds on his face turned out to be like crumpled book paper, and it was rare that his eyebrows and eyes were a little kind.

Ling'er looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who this person was for a while, since the person came in, she had to be polite and said: "Wait for Mama to sit, I'm shabby here, don't be surprised." ”

Qin'er moved a small futon and put it under her, and sat down again, and then went down to pour water.

The old lady didn't speak, but just looked at Ling'er, and saw that she was wearing a snow-white dress, and there was also a jasper hairpin on her sideburns, which set off the person like a snow ball. At this time, the servant Qin'er came in with water, and she took it and put it aside, and said gently: "I groomed Miss that day, it has been more than three years since today, I didn't expect Miss to be a rich and glorious life, his future is immeasurable, it is really gratifying, and my wife has also been blessed by you." ”

Ling'er suddenly remembered, isn't this mother-in-law the grandmother who Emperor Hengqing found to dress up for herself in the past, since she has been old enough to be in this kind of field, it can be seen that the palace is a tormenting place. I was grateful that she had given herself a sandalwood comb in the past, but thinking about the purpose of her trip, I couldn't help but feel that it was boring again. Then he said bluntly: "Mama, don't talk about this, maybe others regard fame and fortune as a lifelong pursuit, but to me it is just a shackle, and I can't wait to leave here immediately." ”

After hearing what Ling'er said, the old lady was immediately shocked, and said in a panic, "The nobles must not say this, there are many people in the palace, and such a big rebellion will harm the family." ”

Family, Ling'er silently recited a sentence, if it weren't for the family themselves, how could they throw themselves into the cage, they lost their spirits, closed their eyes and lay down, and stopped talking.

Seeing that the master was no longer paying attention, Qin'er motioned for her grandmother to leave quickly. The grandmother didn't stop and went out with Qin'er. When they arrived outside the door, the two found a secluded place, and Qin Erfang asked, "Forgive the slave and the maid for being reckless, Mama is a master with status, why did you think of coming to our palace for a walk today, but there is something from above, you are more or less meaningful, and I am good to be this errand." ”

The old lady pondered for a long time, and said: "The old master and the little master have some discord, and the slave was ordered to come out and walk around, to see if there have been some obstructive things in this imperial city, if there is, you and I are both slaves, and we must be filial piety to the master before and after the saddle, do you say that Mama I am thinking about it properly?" ”

Qin'er was already frightened when she heard this, and she trembled and didn't know how to answer, so she replied again and again, "It's appropriate, it's right." It wasn't until the old lady came out for a long time that she came to her senses, and when she looked at it again, it was like in a dream, and she returned to the house in a fog.

When Ling'er saw the old woman go out, she had already sat up, thinking in her heart that she didn't eat a cup of tea when she came, and she didn't say a word for a moment, but the meaning of this did not allow her not to think carefully. At this moment, seeing Qin'er coming back in despair, he was more sure of his guess, but he didn't know the face and didn't know his heart, so he didn't ask directly, but said: "If you feel that you have wronged yourself with me, I will return to the emperor tomorrow, and let you wait for others to find another branch. ”

Although Qin'er listened to his words, it sounded rare, but it meant to drive herself away, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your nobleman must not go back to the emperor, the slave maid was worried about your comfort, not the half-hearted person, since he can serve the nobleman, he is the blessing of the slave and maid, and he dare not have two hearts." ”

Ling'er saw Qin'er's sincere and frightened appearance, and felt pitiful in her heart, she was sincere, but none of the minions dared to appreciate it. I was also afraid that I would do bad things with good intentions, so I beckoned, "You get up and speak, I only ask you, which palace is the grandmother who came just now, and what is the purpose of her coming today, now you and I live in the same room, we should support each other, you don't have to think about it, I will protect you for a day, if I am in trouble, I don't need to say more about your results." ”

Qin'er hurriedly got up and replied, what Ling'er said was exactly what she considered, and now she was relieved when she got the letter, so she said: "Slaves and maids thank you for your master's concern, this grandmother slave looks like she has seen it in the Queen Mother's palace, and it must be for the emperor to come here today, and the rest of the slaves and maids don't dare to think about it." ”

If he didn't guess wrong, Emperor Xuanwen must have disagreed with his own entry into the palace, the daughter of a criminal minister, the remnant of a rebellious person, and now he has entered the palace as a nobleman. This is intolerable to any person in the royal family, and he is really used to being sloppy, since he has forgotten this stubble. Once you figure out your situation, you will be happy and worried. The joy is that he is incompatible with this palace, and Emperor Hengqing wants to give himself the position of queen to keep himself, so his past promises can only come to naught, and he has no face to see him. I am worried that since I am not tolerated by the palace, it will be more dangerous to stay here for one more day. Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to think about dealing with it as soon as possible, and it seems that his original intention of messing around in the palace is about to change.

"Qin'er, who is responsible for the daily diet in our palace now?"

"It's all sent directly from the imperial dining room in front, and the slave maid took it and then sent it in, and did not use the small kitchen here, which is also the emperor's order, all the food and drink are taken from him, there is a share of the emperor, there is a share of ours, this noble person does not have to worry."

It's okay for him to have a conscience, but doing so is too eye-catching, and it's hard to ensure that someone will take advantage of the topic to play and give birth to something. Ling'er thought secretly. (To be continued......)
