Chapter Seventy-Eight: Money Comes (1)
Meng Tan sighed helplessly, and said listlessly: "You go and let her go back!" ”
Xiao Song looked at his spiritless appearance, didn't dare to say more, answered, and left the dormitory, and went straight to the study.
When he arrived at the study, he really saw Lin Yuqing kneeling there in an orderly manner, just like other frightened palace maids, which was a bit unexpected.
"Get up!" Komatsu said sympathetically.
Lin Yuqing raised his head slightly, looked at Xiao Song, and also looked behind him, there was no one else, so he boldly asked, "Did the emperor ask you to come?" Is the emperor still angry with his slaves? ”
Xiao Song shook his head and reached out to help Lin Yuqing.
"The emperor is not angry, it's just that he is in a bad mood."
Lin Yuqing wanted to stand up with the help of Komatsu's strength, but because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs were numb, and he just got up a little and fell back to the ground.
"My leg is numb."
Xiao Song looked at Lin Yuqing's aggrieved appearance and couldn't help laughing. In particular, Lin Yuqing called himself a slave for a while, and called me for a while, which was really awkward.
"Alright, you can move around as you please! Hey, the miscellaneous family really doesn't understand, how can you refuse the emperor with such a good opportunity? You have to know how many people are looking forward to this day! ”
Lin Yuqing smiled bitterly twice, thinking that if he conveyed his thoughts to the emperor through Xiao Song's mouth, perhaps, he would be able to be his own palace maid with peace of mind.
So, she shook her head and said helplessly: "Of course Shen Xiu knows the way. The women who enter the palace belong to the emperor. But. Shen Xiu only wanted to live this life in peace and stability, and he didn't have much luxury. The position of concubine. Naturally, it is extremely noble, but corresponding to the high position, there is also the battle in the harem. Shen Xiu doesn't like to fight, and he doesn't like to worry about himself every day, whether he will die in the next moment. Therefore, Shen Xiucai had the courage to refuse the emperor.
Shen Xiu understood that if it weren't for the emperor's tolerant heart, I'm afraid Shen Xiu would have been in a different place long ago. on this. Shen Xiu is very grateful to the emperor, and Shen Xiu is willing to use his life to serve the emperor, but with Shen Xiu's appearance, he really doesn't dare to climb high. ”
Xiao Song understood that Lin Yuqing said so much, and he didn't want to become the emperor's concubine. But it is this indisputable idea that will make the emperor fall deeper and deeper.
"Okay, the miscellaneous family knows. Do you feel a little better now? Can I go on my own? ”
Lin Yuqing smiled gratefully at Komatsu's concern. Then, try to get up, and it's all right.
"Grandpa Xie cares. It's no big deal. Can I, the slave, really go back? ”
Komatsu nodded, smiled warmly and said, "You can go back tonight!" Don't miss tomorrow's breakfast. ”
Lin Yuqing smiled respectfully. Then he limped out of the study and slowly walked to his room.
After a restless night's sleep. Lin Yuqing served the emperor with breakfast with a little tiredness.
Because of what happened yesterday, Lin Yuqing guessed. It may just be the emperor's whim, but she still feels uncomfortable in her heart. So, in front of the emperor, he didn't dare to raise his head anymore, nor did he dare to look at the emperor more.
And Meng Tan, I don't know if I really don't care about yesterday's incident, or I am afraid that Lin Yuqing will feel uncomfortable again, so I just eat quietly, without superfluous movements.
After breakfast, it was Lin Yuqing's leisure time as usual. She was sitting alone in a small pavilion bored, when suddenly someone behind her gently patted her on the shoulder, and she was so frightened that she let out a soft breath.
Lin Yuqing's eyes widened in shock, and when she looked back, she saw Yulan standing behind her with a smile.
"Shen Xiu, when you entered Yuming Palace, did you forget Concubine Yu's mother? Why haven't you seen anyone for months? Niangniang is still thinking about Xie Lu, thank you for your performance at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet! ”
Lin Yuqing didn't think this was a good thing. Besides, she is now on an errand in Yuming Palace, although she is just a small palace maid, but after all, she is a person around the emperor, and she has seen the emperor many more times than others. It's not good, this Concubine Yu Niangniang just saw this benefit of herself, so she let people come to her again.
However, Lin Yuqing would not be so stupid as to get along with a maiden, so he smiled and said respectfully: "Where is Sister Yulan, if there is no Concubine Yu, how can the slave maid enter the palace?" As for the things at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, this is also what Shen Xiu should do, where do you dare to ask for any reward. ”
Yulan giggled twice, like an old friend for many years, and said enthusiastically: "Now, Concubine Yu is enjoying the scenery in the pavilion not far away, since you have met it, go and say hello to Concubine Yu!" ”
Lin Yuqing complained bitterly in her heart, being a slave and maid by herself is enough to make her uncomfortable, and she still wants to be a good slave and maid, and ask her master for peace? If this is for an ordinary palace maid, it may really be extremely honorable, but for her, it is really a suffering. However, she didn't want to offend Concubine Yu, so she had to endure her reluctance and follow Yulan with a smile.
As soon as she entered the pavilion, Lin Yuqing felt that seeing Concubine Yu this time was different from before, because she would no longer make a stinky face to herself, but showed a little smile.
"Shen Xiu, please give Niangniang!" Lin Yuqing bowed respectfully.
Concubine Yu Niangniang stretched out a hand, leaned forward a little, and said with a smile: "Flat!" I haven't seen you for months, and you look like you've lost a lot of weight. ”
Lin Yuqing thought to himself, during this time, if you can't eat or sleep well, can you not lose weight? There were not a few taels of meat in the first place, but now it is even more skinny.
However, she still did the inconsistencies between what she appeared and what she said, and said with a respectful smile: "Xie Niangniang cares." The slave is good. ”
Concubine Yu nodded, then looked at Lin Yuqing with great majesty and said, "I heard that after you came back from Kurosawa Pond, you were transferred to Yuming Palace as a poison test palace maid?" ”
Lin Yuqing thought, what kind of life is this, and now he will take it out and talk about it.
"Back to the mother's words, the slave maid is really on an errand in Yuming Palace now, and she is indeed the position of a palace maid who tests drugs."
When Concubine Yu heard this, she glanced at Yulan.
Yulan nodded at her, and said to Lin Yuqing with a smile: "This poison test palace maid, although it sounds daunting, but the emperor has always loved the people like a son, and he is conscientious and conscientious, and no one will think of murdering the emperor." Therefore, my sister can continue to work in Yuming Palace with peace of mind and serve the emperor well. ”
"Xie Niangniang is worried, and Sister Xie Yulan cares. Slaves and maids must do their part. ”
Lin Yuqing said this on his lips, but in his heart, he hated these two masters and servants who had been selling Guanzi. If there's anything, just say it directly, and pretend to be a good person here. (To be continued......)
