Chapter 045: Raid
"Let's go back, I'll come ......back tomorrow at this time," Leng Chen said, leaning back and leaning on the wheelchair.
Leng An was stunned for a moment, he thought that the eldest prince would say something else to him, but he didn't expect that he would just let himself go back just by grinding ink. Seeing that Leng Chen looked very tired, Leng An couldn't bother anymore, so he had to bow and quietly retreat.
Aunt Qiao'er was waiting at the door, and when she saw Leng An coming out, she hurriedly greeted her: "Is Your Highness done?" Leng An nodded, Aunt Qiao'er was about to push the door in, but Leng An stopped her: "Auntie...... His Highness seems to have something on his mind......"
Aunt Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Leng An's intentions and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll go in and take a look, you go back first......"
Leng An nodded, and watched Aunt Qiao'er go in before leaving. The cold wind outside was really biting, and Leng An felt that the cold hairs all over his body were trembling after standing for a while, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked towards the middle of the room.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the end of the year, these days, the palace has rewarded a lot of things, and Leng An and Ziyan have become more and more busy. At first, Leng An's job was to go to His Royal Highness's study every night to study ink and serve, and when the New Year was approaching, the palaces were gathering for the New Year, and Zhengxiang Palace was naturally no exception. Leng An's body is almost good, so he is busy with everyone, but he is also happy. It's been a while since I've lived here, and compared to the desolate Kunxi Palace, it's much more humane here, and working with Ziyan and Aunt Qiao'er, Leng An won't feel lonely.
The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, this afternoon, Leng An was sitting in the house with Ziyan, cutting window flowers around the stove, suddenly the door was knocked open, Ziyan was startled, the scissors in his hand fell directly into the charcoal fire, Leng An was also shocked and stood up directly from the stool.
The person who came was none other than Tian Rong's father-in-law of Jingren Palace, who took four or five little eunuchs and broke in without even knocking on the door.
"Grandpa Tian! What do you do here? Ziyan shouted dissatisfiedly.
"What to do? The slave was instructed by the queen's mother and took Ruo'an back to lecture, can you dare to stop a little palace maid? Tian Rong's father-in-law raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ziyan. Ziyan was anxious when she heard this, and lowered her voice and whispered in Leng An's ear: "It's troublesome now, Your Highness and Aunt Qiao'er are not there...... The queen lady has seen this time to come! ”
Leng An's heart was also tight, he thought that this matter had passed, but he didn't expect that after so long, the queen mother was still so worried about it and refused to give up......
"Sister...... What to do? Or I'll go to Your Highness right now! Ziyan said anxiously.
Leng An couldn't help but shake his head when he saw her like this: "Far water can't save the near fire......"
"Have you discussed it? To go or not to go? Tian Rong's father-in-law teased. Leng An couldn't help but smile and said, "The slave and maid will go with you, but I don't know what the queen has to explain when she summoned the slave and maid this time?" ”
"When I went, I knew that I was going to do it, what to do with so much nonsense! Someone, take her away for me! Tian Rong gave an order, and several little eunuchs behind him all rushed up, grabbed Leng An and dragged him out.
Ziyan was anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but was pushed by the little eunuchs and fell to the ground. Seeing Ziyan falling, Leng Anxin was naturally angry, and struggled to shake off the hands of several people and shouted, "Let go of me!" I'll go myself! ”
Several little eunuchs still wanted to step forward to catch Leng An, but they saw Tian Rong waving his hand and said, "Since the girl doesn't want to be like this, then please come here......" said with a wicked laugh and made a way.
Leng An glanced at him: "I will go with you, but before that, I have to settle Ziyan first!" As he spoke, he squatted down to help Ziyan, the injury on Ziyan's head was just a few days ago, and this time he was knocked to the ground again, I don't know if he touched the old injury.
"How are you? Did the fall hurt? Leng An asked softly. Ziyan shook her head: "Sister, I'm fine, don't worry about my ......"
"Hmm......" Seeing that Ziyan was fine, Leng An breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and was about to go out, but Ziyan held her hand tightly and was reluctant to let go: "Sister...... You can't go! ”
Leng An smiled bitterly: "The queen mother has an order, how can I not obey the ......" After speaking, he turned around and followed Tian Rong out of the house. The cold wind outside the house drilled straight into Leng An's neck, and she couldn't help but shiver, not only because of the cold, but also because of the fear of the lady in Jingren Palace......
This time, no one could help her, and she had to rely on herself to deal with the queen...... Although she had memorized the contents of the booklet backwards, such a sudden summons still made her very nervous.
After a while, I came to the dormitory of Jingren Palace again, it was still full of cigarette smoke, the bead curtain hung low, and the queen mother was still so lazy leaning on the soft couch, the only difference was that there were a lot of red colored silk in the room, presumably to welcome the spring, deliberately decorated......
"Slave Ni Ruo'an, see the queen's mother, the queen's mother Wan'an......" Leng An knelt on the ground and kowtowed, the queen opened her eyes and glanced at it and asked, "Is your body okay?" ”
"Back to my mother's words, it's almost good...... Thank you for your concern......" Leng An knelt and didn't look up.
The queen sneered: "How long have you been in the palace......"
"Back to my mother, it's been nearly a year......"
The queen's smile was even stronger: "This is about to come to the end of the year, I know that you have been away from home for a long time, and you must miss your relatives, so I specially issued an order to take your parents from your hometown and accompany you for the New Year. ”
Leng An's face turned white in an instant...... The queen was clearly doubting her identity, and brought Ni Ruoju's relatives over, and her fake appearance was exposed at a glance...... If it is not difficult to memorize the booklet, but this has to be recognized, where is the thing that you can control!
Seeing that Leng An lowered her head and didn't speak, the queen's interest became even stronger and she joked: "What, don't you want to see them?" ”
"No, the queen mother, the slave maid is far away from home, and she must miss her family, but the slave maid's family affairs have to be arranged by the queen mother herself, so troublesome...... How could the slave and maid He De let the queen mother be so concerned, and she was really scared in her heart......"
The queen's smile was even stronger: "This is just a gesture for this palace, compared to the thoughtfulness and care of Wanxi Niangniang and the princes, this palace can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket......"
"The queen mother said and laughed...... Leng An lowered her head and smiled, in fact, she was nervous and didn't know what to do, just when she was anxious, she suddenly heard the sound of trivial footsteps at the door, she couldn't help but raise her head and look back, but just one glance, she was stunned......
