Chapter 101: Someone Else
Shui Lianyue also stopped, turned around, and gave Hongying a look, she took out a heavy bag of money from her arms and handed it to Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Lingzi was slightly stunned, but she didn't dare to take it again.
Seeing this, Shui Lianyue smiled faintly and said: "Father-in-law Ling doesn't have to excuse himself, if it weren't for Father-in-law Ling's help, the guards at the North Palace Gate would definitely be entangled, not to mention, Father-in-law Ling is often by the emperor's side, so he naturally speculates."
"Fourth Miss, I'm afraid I misunderstood, how can Long Xin be a slave who can speculate at will", Xiao Lingzi listened to Shui Lianyue's words, and interrupted without waiting for her to finish speaking, and the hand that had just been stretched out also retracted, Shui Lianyue saw it in her eyes, and she also understood a little bit in her heart, Xiao Lingzi is Nangong Ling's person, loyal to him, how can it be bought with dozens of taels of silver?
After a pause, she gradually put away her smile, her beautiful cheeks were a little colder, and even her phoenix eyes were full of coldness, and she said coldly: "I only think that Father-in-law Ling is an interesting person, and the emperor called me to enter the palace under the banner of the imperial concubine, how can Father-in-law Ling not understand the meaning?" What's more, these silver taels are just a little bit of my mind, how could Father-in-law Ling be so unreasonable and insult my mind?"
Xiao Lingzi's body stiffened, and after feeling the chill emanating from Shui Lianyue, he had to stretch out his hand to take the bag of silver, and then thought about it, but he couldn't figure out the meaning of Shui Lianyue's words, the emperor did let him lead the fourth lady of the Shui family into the palace under the banner of the imperial concubine, but she was the princess of King Yu, thinking of this, Xiao Lingzi shook her spirit, and suddenly realized, could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to her?
He inadvertently glanced at Shui Lianyue, which confirmed the idea in his heart, this woman's appearance, even if the emperor's harem three thousand beauties combined, can not be compared, such a woman is naturally owned by the Son of Heaven, if this Miss Shui enters the harem with his shallow experience, he can also see that he will definitely favor the harem.
After thinking about it, only to hear a plop, Xiao Lingzi suddenly knelt on the ground, hung his head and seemed to choke up: "The slave's words are disrespectful, and I hope that the fourth lady will not blame."
"Father-in-law Ling, hurry up, how dare I bear such a big gift"? Saying this, Shui Lianyue sighed, and hurriedly went to support Ling's father-in-law, but frightened Xiao Lingzi even more, and without waiting for Shui Lianyue to speak, she stood up on her own, bowed to Shui Lianyue and said: "Fourth Miss, go in quickly, don't let the emperor wait for a long time, the slave slave went to prepare refreshments, and the slave retired."
Shui Lianyue looked up at the back of Xiao Lingzi who left in a hurry, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a sly smile, and then turned around and walked towards the gate of Yong'an Palace.
At this time, on the main hall of Yong'an Palace, an old eunuch wore a flower feather on his head, wearing a chief eunuch uniform, standing calmly at the door and waiting, after seeing the water ripple moon, he took a few steps forward and bowed slightly: "The old slave Li Shan has seen the fourth lady, please follow the old slave into the palace."
Shui Lianyue nodded, didn't say much, followed into Yong'an Palace behind the good manager, she looked at this palace carefully, if Concubine Yun's Yunzhao Palace is luxurious and solemn, then, Yong'an Palace is not as good as Yunzhao Palace, but there is a bit of a fresh and refined feeling, although there is nothing special about the tables and chairs placed in the hall, but Shui Lianyue was surprised to find that each corner of the table and chair is covered with a soft cloth cover.
The good manager seemed to sense Shui Lianyue's gaze, and explained with a slight smile: "The third prince Yun Yu (wen) is now six years old, but he is lively and tight, and the concubine is afraid that he will run around and knock into the corner on weekdays, so she ordered someone to do this, which really plays a big role."
Shui Lianyue was stunned, listening to Li Shan's words, she had the meaning of speaking for Situ Wan, and then said lightly: "The concubine is both virtuous and virtuous, and the style of motherhood is also indispensable, but it has made the people's daughter have some knowledge."
The sycophancy in her words, how could the good manager not hear it, but the flattery of others is very humble, but she is arrogant, and the temperament that is revealed, I don't know which palace I think it is, I am really self-righteous, and I thought, the good manager showed a touch of disdain between his eyebrows.
When he came to the side hall, there was no one to guard him, and the good manager didn't look at Shui Lianyue, but said lightly: "Girl, please come in, don't let the master wait for a long time."
Shui Lianyue didn't care about the voice of Manager Shan's words, and after signaling Hongying to wait for her outside, she pushed the door and walked in, and Manager Shanyin also closed the door casually, glared at Hongying with disdain, and turned around to wait outside the door.
Hongying saw his expression, although there was anger in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously, he was an old man in the palace, naturally a young eunuch like Xiao Lingzi couldn't be compared, but if she didn't give him two sentences, she couldn't bear it in her heart.
"My father-in-law has been in the palace for several years, and I think about it, my young lady can be summoned by the emperor's grace, and he has his reasons, but my father-in-law should not be too obvious, otherwise, it will be seen that my father-in-law will not be able to stand the anger of his master."
The good manager was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Hongying, and saw that she was just a little slave, and dared to speak to him like this, and was immediately annoyed, but he didn't dare to make a loud noise, his eyebrows were twisted, and he had to shout in a low voice: "You are just a lowly slave, you dare to talk to the Sprinkle family in a waiting tone, but you can't do it?"
Hongying saw that he was annoyed, but she was not afraid, and she glanced at the head of Bai and said: "I have been the chief steward for many years, but I didn't think about it, I don't understand the rules like this, how can you slander my young lady"?
"When did the Sprinkle family slander your young lady"? Although the good manager hated Shui Lianyue, he never said anything, how could it be that when it came to the mouth of this cheap slave, it was not a taste.
Hongying took a step forward, leaned forward and whispered: "Don't forget, today, it's not the imperial concubine who summoned my young lady, but anyway, the good manager just knows it, and I don't need to say anything else."
Manager Shan's face became more and more ugly, he had been in the palace for several years, he had always taught others, when had he been taught, and he was still a lowly slave, he felt humiliated at the moment, and suddenly, he raised his hand and hit Hongying in the face.
"I'm a young lady's person, not a palace maid in the palace, if the good manager wants to teach me, but you have to find the right person, if my young lady will see me beaten for a while, say a few words in front of your master, presumably the good manager will not be able to escape punishment."
Hongying squinted her eyes and looked directly at the good manager, her body faintly exuded a chill, she didn't dodge or dodge, she stood in place, she had followed Shui Lianyue for many years, and she didn't learn all the skills, but she also learned a few points, and that was overwhelming.
Sure enough, when the good manager heard this, when the palm of his hand was less than a finger long from his cheek, he suddenly stopped, he only felt that he was about to vomit blood from anger, and when he looked at Hongying again, he saw that she had no fear on her face, and suddenly he was almost angry.
"Hmph", Manager Shanguan snorted coldly, turned around and ignored Hongying, on the contrary, Hongying was full of smiles, and the chill that had just been revealed was also taken back, and kept grimacing behind Manager Shan.
The light in the side hall was a little dim, but Shui Lianyue could vaguely see the person sitting above, it was none other than Nangong Ling.
I saw him drinking slowly with a teacup, his movements were elegant, his demeanor was generous, and he was not in a hurry to talk to Shui Lianyue.
"The emperor really took great pains to find this excuse to lure me into the palace, it really surprised me", Shui Lianyue slowly walked to the center of the side hall, her phoenix eyes looked at Nangong Ling coldly, and mocked in a deep voice.
"Smack", I saw Nangong Ling frown slightly after hearing Shui Lianyue's words, and put the bottom of the teacup on the square table next to him, and the sound echoed in the side hall before disappearing for a long time.
