Chapter 209: Autumn Water, Autumn Water (1)
The person who shouted was Aunt Cui, who had been watching coldly and silently, she took a few steps away from the besieged people and walked forward to the two of them, and her cold gaze looked directly over Yin Suwen's shoulder and looked at the woman behind.
"Miss Leng, it's a misunderstanding in moderation, it's because your family shouldn't want the water to wash the Dragon King Temple."
"Huh, misunderstanding? Own family? I don't think Grandpa Liu thinks so. ”
Aunt Cui's words and attitude were neither humble nor arrogant, but she gave the other party enough respect, although the woman who was called Leng Qiushui pursed her lips and looked unwilling to agree, she still let go of Yin Suwen's wrist very happily while replying.
"Tsk, Miss Yin is very bold."
The golden hairpin in her hand shook from Yin Suwen and fell back into Leng Qiushui's hands, she took the handkerchief from her cuff and wiped it carefully before returning to her hair, and when she turned around, she didn't forget to show a mischievous smile at Yin Suwen.
The conversation between Aunt Cui and Leng Qiushui happened in an instant, and the atmosphere changed abruptly, and Liu Zhong, who was originally angry, stood aside but was stunned.
"This, this, Aunt Cui, what do you mean by this?"
"Father-in-law Liu is a little restless, Miss Leng is a palace person in the Prajna Palace, so she is naturally considered her own family."
Aunt Cui comforted Liu Zhong with her words, and handed him the flower seal roster in her hand.
"Prajna Temple? The palace people in the Queen Mother's place? ”
Liu Zhong suspiciously grabbed the roster and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became. The roster is detailed and meticulously marked, and the girl Leng Qiushui who angered him is indeed a person who has entered the palace at the age of ten. At the age of fifteen, since the end of the inner court practice, he was assigned to the Prajna Hall and has been serving by the Queen Mother's side.
"The roster is so recorded, but how could the palace people around the Queen Mother come here to participate in the selection?"
Although Leng Qiushui's identity was clarified, Liu Zhong's heart was still full of doubts. According to the usual practice, in addition to being fortunate to have an heir by the Son of Heaven, few ordinary palace people are officially included in the harem, even if they want to be concubines in the harem, they will be directly promoted by the emperor, far from going around such a big circle from the selection of women.
"Father-in-law Liu, her name is 'Leng Qiushui', think about it carefully."
Aunt Cui's words were whispered sideways in Liu Zhong's ear, in a strange tone and not directly explained. A finger deliberately pointed at the upper right corner of the cold autumn water page on the roster.
There is a faint vermilion imprint. The red dot is not large in shape, but the strokes are distinct. The mark was immediately visible, Liu Zhong only felt that his cold sweat was about to come down, which was a mark of Zhu Bi's imperial approval, which meant that the person under the comment must be arranged in the palace selection. He only knew that there was such a mark on the name of the Yin family's daughter, but he never expected that Leng Qiushui was also one of them.
"Cold autumn water. Translucent. Translucent? ”
Liu Zhong muttered a few moments. After a while, I finally remembered it. Leng Qiushui is indeed a palace person in the Prajna Palace, and he is still a well-known palace person.
After being assigned by each other, Leng Qiushui at the beginning was arranged to serve by the Queen Mother's side as a maid. She is not a clever person to attract people, and she is more clever and obedient than her slave maid, and she was even once almost expelled from the Pranya Temple because she broke a few errands. Later, she somehow got the affection of the queen mother, not only allowed her to continue to stay by her side to serve, but also got a high treatment, saying that it was an ordinary palace person but did not need to do any hard work, and even the accommodation and diet were arranged separately, not like a slave but more like a favored little princess.
Leng Qiushui is famous for being taken care of in the inner court, and Liu Zhong also thought about exploring the truth with this person when he was going back and forth with the emperor and the queen mother, but he couldn't see him several times, but he didn't expect to meet in this way today. She is indeed not from a noble family of famous families, but she has more background than those people, and this time she must have come to the selection to serve the queen mother's will.
Since he is favored and favored, he is naturally rich and has no fear, Liu Zhong is willing to admit it, and he only blames himself for being impulsive and unaware of it, and almost caused a big incident. After understanding the identity, all the previous conflicts turned into "misunderstandings" that could be reconciled in an instant.
Liu Zhong's biggest advantage is that he is a smart person who can bend and stretch, both sides are unwilling to make a big deal and Aunt Cui is a middleman, Liu Zhong's attitude is active and humble, and Leng Qiushui also accepted it by default.
The little eunuch was pulled out and stuffed into the miscellaneous service bureau as an unlucky arrow target, and Leng Qiushui didn't have to accept any more raids and went to the side hall to rest. Yin Suwen dispersed as everyone was coaxed, and only in a few sporadic conversations with the palace people, he roughly knew that the cold girl was fighting against the power of the queen mother.
Her wrists were sore, but when she looked closely, she found that the other party had not left any obvious bruises on her. There is a lack of vigor and anger, and it is not a bully, Yin Suwen does not hate the cold girl with a lot of personality.
After such a fuss, the last bit of the selection was carried out quickly and hastily, and even several women who were demoted were all quiet and resigned to their fate. Liu Zhong was upset for a while, and Yin Suwen's inspection work was replaced by Aunt Cui.
The two maids took a ruler and measured the body, and the other took a pen to record, and the action ended quickly, leaving the word "selected" on the roster. The two exited the cubicle and walked towards the last woman, but Aunt Cui went and returned.
"Miss Yin."
"Yes, what does my aunt command?"
"Turn around."
Yin Suwen's hand to redress stopped in place, and after listening to Aunt Cui's words, he slowly retreated.
Turning around and picking up her long hair, Yin Su asked what was different about her back She knew it herself, and the lotus birthmark on the back of her heart was obviously lifelike. Even though she has successfully changed her beautiful skin and flesh, this birthmark still grows without any changes.
An important part of the screening of the woman's posture is to require the body to be white and flawless, and there must be no obvious birthmarks and moles, which the maid who just checked did not mention it, but it was discovered by this Aunt Cui at a glance.
Yin Suwen felt that he didn't have Leng Qiushui's willful ability to refuse the inspection, and on the other hand, he was quite confident in Li Xiuming's prior arrangement, so after a moment of panic, he still decided to take a risk, and obediently turned his back and exposed the obvious birthmark in front of Aunt Cui.
There was a warm touch in the back of her heart, and Aunt Cui's fingers lightly landed on Yin Suwen's birthmark without moving, as if she was surprised by the realistic appearance of the birthmark and seemed to confirm the authenticity of the birthmark. Aunt Cui didn't speak, just stared at the birthmark for a long time, Yin Suwen didn't dare to look back, she didn't know the other party's expression and mood at this time, and she couldn't figure out what her intentions were for a while.
Do you want to report yourself immediately or just think this birthmark is strange? This kind of contact is not annoying but it is also suspicious and unsettling, Yin Suwen is still guessing the other party's intentions, only to feel a warmth on his back, and his shirt is pulled up and draped over his shoulders.
"Miss Yin, congratulations on entering the palace." (To be continued......)
