"That's what you said, but until the queen returns, she will definitely not betray you, unless she wants to kill herself." The Guerjia clan's words made Ling Ruo's eyebrows sink, and he said, "Sister thinks the queen still has a time to recover?" ”

Guerjia sighed lightly and said: "I don't know what to do, but she is still holding the position of queen, which is always a little uneasy, plus the second elder brother went to Henan again, in case the second elder brother makes meritorious contributions in Henan, and then intercedes for the Nala clan, the emperor may release her grounding." However, it stands to reason that the second elder brother and the queen have such a deep knot that they should not intercede for her. ”

Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "This is too early, originally according to my speculation, the second elder brother should be in a slump, but after he came out of prison, the second elder brother seemed to have changed as a person, and he also took the initiative to ask to go to a dangerous place like Henan, you say it's not strange." ”

Guerjia nodded and said: "It's strange, but people's hearts are unpredictable, we can't guess the reason for this, and let's observe it first, as long as we keep an eye on it, I believe they won't be able to make much of a storm." After a pause, she said, "Then again, have you ever been to see those show girls?" I heard that Hongli and Hongday have their favorite show girls? ”

"I haven't gone yet, why don't I take advantage of today's free time and my sister will accompany me?" In the face of Ling Ruo's invitation, the Guerjia clan would not refuse, and got up and rode with her to the Zhongcui Palace.

When they arrived, more than 100 show girls were learning the etiquette of the palace with Mama Xi in the early autumn sunshine, and when they saw Ling Ruo and Guerjia coming over, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Sister, look, that is Concubine Xi Gui's mother, they all say that she is nearly forty years old, but she still looks young and beautiful." Bianyue pulled Mingyue's sleeve excitedly.

Mingyu knew that there was no city mansion in the moon's chest, and Xingzi, who was straight to the point, hurriedly reminded: "Shhh, be quiet, don't disturb the concubine." ”

At that time, Mama Jiao Xi had already invited Ling Ruo and the two of them to enter, and after the tea was served, she stood aside with her hands down, Ling Ruo was about to speak, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing outside, and hurriedly called Yang Haidao: "You go and see, is the fifth elder brother outside?" ”

Yang Hai went out according to his words, and when he came back, there was one more person beside him, it was Hongday, and he saluted a little uncomfortably: "Hongday to the concubine Niangniang, to the concubine Niangniang, to the concubine Niangniang." ”

Guerjia and Ling Ruo glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Why is Fifth Elder Brother here?" ”

"I ......" Hongday's eyes fluttered, and after a while, Fang said: "I entered the palace to greet Eniang, and then I saw that there was nothing to do, so I walked around at will, but I didn't know that Lu Dao happened to come here." ”

"Exactly?" The smile on the corner of Guerjia's mouth gradually expanded, "How come this palace doesn't know that Yonghe Palace and Zhongcui Palace are so close to each other, so I walked here at will." ”

Guerjia's words made Hongtian's face red, and he didn't dare to answer, but Ling Ruo said: "Okay, sister, don't look for the fifth elder brother anymore, since you are here, let's take a look at those show girls." He turned his eyes to the grandmother who was waiting on the side and said, "Are the show girls all there?" ”

Mama hurriedly said: "If you go back to Niangniang, all the show girls are here, but do you want the slave maid to call them in?" ”

After getting Ling Ruo's consent, Mama hurriedly went out to let those ten show girls come in to give Ling Ruo a salute, although it was not the Golden Palace draft, but those show girls were still very nervous, after all, it was the two ladies sitting inside, if they could get into their eyes, when the time came to say a few good words in front of the emperor, they would have a good chance of being selected.

After watching it a few times in a row, while the show girl hadn't come in yet, Guarjia said: "In terms of appearance alone, this year's show girl is not inferior to the second year of Yongzheng, and it can even be said to be more than that, but I don't know how many people will be selected in the end." ”

Ling Ruo nodded, and said with some emotion: "It's so fast, more than twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I used to live in Zhongcui Palace like them, waiting for others to decide their own fate." ”

As soon as Ling Ruo's words fell, a voice unexpectedly sounded, "Has Niangniang also drafted before?" ”

The voice came from the group of show girls who had just walked in, and after looking at it, it was a woman with bright eyes and bright teeth, looking at that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, even Ling Ruo, who was used to seeing beauty, was slightly stunned when she saw her.

Mingyu said eagerly on the side: "Defective Yue, don't be so rude, don't apologize to Niangniang soon." ”

Mingyu's voice was very soft, but he was still said by the Guerjia clan, and his eyes moved, falling on Bianyue, "Your name is Bianyue?" What's the last name? ”

Hearing this, Bianyue hurriedly bent her knees and said: "Back to Concubine Niangniang's words, the slave's surname is Nala's." ”

"Nala ......" Guerga repeated, knowing in his heart that this woman was Inge's young daughter, but he didn't expect to be so beautiful.

"This palace has seen your eldest sister Lanling, she is a beautiful embryo, I can't imagine that you are better than her, come, come to this palace." Ling Ruo's praise and look at each other made the other show girls more or less jealous.

Slightly flattered, she walked up to Ling Ruo and whispered, "Niangniang, have you really drafted a show?" ”

"It's true, it was when the first emperor was there, but the palace did not enter the palace at that time, but was given to the current emperor." Ling Ruo's kind face made the Guerjia clan secretly wonder, and wondered why she was so gentle with the daughter of Yingge, although this woman seemed to be innocent, but who knew if it was pretended, pretending to be naïve but actually thoughtful, she had seen a lot, and the former Wen Rutian was one of them.

After carefully looking at the flawed moon, Ling Ruowen said, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Back to the mother's words, the slave maid is fourteen this year." Listening to the answer of the moon, Ling Ruowei nodded and said: "Fourteen years old, still a little younger, how, you can still get used to it in the Zhongcui Palace, this palace remembers that the show girl is a room for two people, if you are not used to it, this palace will let the grandmother give you a separate room." ”

Bianyue shook her head again and again and said: "Thank you for your kindness, the slave maid lives in the same room with Sister Mingyu, and she is not unaccustomed to it at all, and Sister Mingyu takes care of the slave and maid very much." ”

"Mingyu?" Hearing this familiar name, Ling Ruo looked at the place where Fucha Mingyu was standing, although he had never seen this woman, but he remembered that she was reminding the moon just now, there should be no mistake, and Mingyu's salute later also confirmed Ling Ruo's conjecture.

For Mingyu, Ling Ruo's attitude was surprisingly cold, he just nodded, but greeted the cold and warm to the moon, and then gave her a bracelet, which made those show girls jealous.
