223 And the concubines came to worship

It was rare to get a good night's sleep last night, while they were busy in the small kitchen, Lan Junyao walked alone in the yard, around the back wall, this almost natural orchard fell into her eyes, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Late autumn is the harvest season, and the fruit trees bear unusually fruitful fruits, like a naughty child pulling the branches to play the swing, and want to bend the branches. The aroma of the fruit is refreshing, and it seems that someone often comes to take care of it, and the garden is not as barren as the front hall.

Regardless of whether the previous owner of the garden would blame, Lan Junyao couldn't help but pick a fruit wrapped in a layer of dewdrops, a bite was sweet and fragrant, the juice was full, and the weeds under the tree had become yellow, Lan Junyao picked up the small hoe on the side of the garden and pulled the weeds off the roots and threw them outside the garden.

Lan Junyao didn't do such a thing for a long time, but she didn't show half of her rustiness, when the sun climbed overhead, she had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, but she smiled happily than usual, this is probably the biggest harvest after arriving in the palace.

When Ling Qixuan stepped into the garden, he saw such a scene, the last time he saw her, she was cold, at this moment she kept moving in her hands, with a full smile on her face, he had a feeling in his heart that such a smile should have been on her face for a long time, compared to that cold, such happiness was suitable for her.

For fear of disturbing her, Ling Qixuan stood on the edge of the garden, and there was another small shovel beside him, and he suddenly felt that the little eunuch's negligence could be forgiven. If they hadn't carelessly left behind the tools to clean up the garden, how could they let him see such a scene?

After about a cup of tea, this rare tranquility was shattered. The sharp voice was a little abrupt, the little eunuch didn't know that Ling Qixuan was coming, he happily came to call the master for breakfast, but when he met the eight princes, his eyes were angry, and even Mo Yi blamed him for not looking, and the little eunuch was a little stunned, standing aside with his head drooping.

Lan Junyao put down the hoe in her hand, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, she had already discovered Ling Qixuan's master and servant, but because of that somewhat unpredictable will, she didn't know how to face him, so she pretended to weed the fruit tree wholeheartedly, although the little eunuch was a little reckless, but she relieved her, and she wanted to reward her later.

The eunuch who delivered the decree had already informed each palace of the contents of the emperor's edict, and what stood in front of her was the emperor who had not ascended the throne. The number of etiquette still has to be complete, she bent her knees slightly, blessed her body towards him, and said, "Jing'an has seen the emperor." ”

Ling Qixuan raised his eyebrows, he was still that lukewarm yesterday, how could he be much more supple when he saw himself today, I don't know what this woman has in her heart, but what she thought in her heart, but her face was unmoved, he nodded and said, "Get up." ”

Ling Qixuan walked out first, Lan Junyao followed behind, and when she arrived at the place where the little eunuch was standing, she gestured to the little eunuch to follow, the little eunuch who had to save his life was a little weak in his legs, and he was a little glad to be behind the master, until this moment there was still a chill in his back from time to time, but he secretly warned himself in his heart not to act so recklessly in the future.

The smell of food wafted far away, and the small kitchen really put a lot of effort into pleasing the master. There were a few small dishes and a small bowl of lily barley porridge on the table, because it was morning, the cook specially made a few dishes with good meaning and not greasy, and the little eunuch came to pass the decree, which really made the whole palace happy for a while.

Honey sturgeon is made of honey, which is not too sweet and retains the umami of the sturgeon to the greatest extent. The stewed crispy chicken with longan purse is served in a white porcelain cup, and the lotus leaves wrap the whole chicken, and there are a few round and plump longans floating around. There is also a congealed snow plum cup, at a glance, it looks like a red plum blooming in the snow, I don't know what ingredients are used to make it.

Walking in with Ling Qixuan one after the other, the servants waiting in the hall were stunned for a moment, and Liangchen hurriedly knelt down to make amends, and said, "Master forgive me, I forgot that the small kitchen should prepare an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

Ling Qixuan waved his hand, his mood today seemed to be much better than yesterday. Liangchen hurriedly went to the kitchen and brought out another pair of chopsticks, and Lan Junyao sat down opposite Ling Qixuan.

Mo Yi was amazed behind Ling Qixuan, he could see clearly, even if the master had become different now, the excitement that came out of his heart when he got along with Miss Lan was only afraid that he had never had it with that Aqin girl.

The master's change seems to have fallen into the southern Xinjiang witch Gu, but he didn't have much to do with it, although he asked his brother to investigate, but the road was long, and he didn't know when he would get a result. He originally thought that Miss Lan was a skilled doctor and wanted to find an opportunity to inform her about it, but she didn't give him this opportunity at all.

Ling Qixuan tasted dozens of side dishes one by one, only to feel that the food was particularly delicious compared to other places, and after eating this meal, he added an extra bowl of rice than usual. When he put down the dishes and chopsticks, everyone in the small kitchen was rewarded, and the group sent him out with joy, secretly deciding in their hearts to serve the master well.

The emperor's registration and the will of the seal spread everywhere, and most of the concubines of the former emperor were stranded in the palace at this time, and these people could no longer stay in the palace after the great mourning of the former emperor. Few of these people have children under their knees, and they don't know how to find a good place for themselves, but now there is an opportunity in front of them.

All of a sudden, the entrance of the Dyeing Ceremony Hall was crowded every day, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit. At the beginning, Lan Junyao could still be patient to deal with them for a few words, but in the end, she was really annoyed, so she simply said that she was sick and sent them by the palace people. Even staying in the backyard is not peaceful for a moment, and how to hide out before these concubines arrive is really a headache for her.

Compared with the courtyard here, the palace of the first queen is bleak and tight, because of the lingering sickbed, she took the opportunity to send many people out, only a dozen people are left to serve, and the huge palace is quiet.

Last time, Lan Junyao was frowning with Liangchen, and came here unintentionally, and was really surprised when she saw their mother and daughter at first glance. There is often a medicinal fragrance wafting in the hall, and the queen's face is pale, her shoulder blades are a little protruding, and her spirit is not good.

An Ning was a little surprised to see her, paused, and smiled at her. is not as wanton as the emperor when he was there, although he was laughing, there was a layer of sorrow between his eyebrows, and his every move seemed much more restrained.

As early as the first day she entered the palace, An Ning knew about it. Now she came to visit, both reasonable and unexpected. An Ning put down the wet handkerchief in her hand and personally invited Lan Junyao to sit in the inner room.

Ling Qixuan is also very good to this sister, and Concubine Mo is under house arrest by him, the first queen is respected as the queen mother, and it may not be impossible to enjoy a moment of glory. Judging from this cold middle palace, Lan Junyao admires this former queen a little, the harem three thousand are just fighting for a lifetime for the "power" to control the six palaces, when the first emperor was alive, even if he favored Yan Guifei for a while, he did not see him delegate the power to take care of the six palaces to her.

If there were no means, how could this former queen control the power of the six palaces for the rest of her life. The docile and modest former queen on weekdays is also her, and so is the woman who is with the beauties of the harem for peace. It can't be said that her friendship with the emperor is not deep, but seeing her husband marry back to a young and beautiful woman, her feelings for her husband will never be as pure as it was at the beginning.

After the first emperor was born, she handed over the power to control the six palaces, intending to compromise with the new queen. Although Lan Junyao was not interested in this power, she couldn't help but praise the wisdom of the former queen.

When I arrived at the door of the main hall, a servant girl came out to report that the queen had fallen asleep. An Ning dragged her to the side hall, and the two chattered for a long time, all of which were from the past. Until the middle of the day, An Ning wanted to leave her here to have some meals together. Estimating that those people should also disperse, Lan Junyao got up and said goodbye.

An Ning kept sending her out of the door, telling her to sit here when she was free, and then turned around and went back to the palace.

Walking along a secluded path towards the Dyeing Yi Palace, Lan Junyao felt bitter in her heart, how could she go back to the past? She smiled a little self-deprecatingly, her father and mother didn't want her to enter this sea-like deep palace one day, and she didn't want her to go against her father's wishes. Fortunately, this is just a temporary expedient measure, as long as she endures a few days, she can always leave with her father.

The strength of the autumn tiger should not be underestimated, and it coincides with the planting plants on both sides of the path, and the coolness is refreshing. Lan Junyao coveted this quietness for a while, and her feet became slower and slower, and the distance that could be completed in half an hour on weekdays took a full hour today.

Before they arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw a person waiting anxiously there, looking in their direction from time to time, it was Ronghua, the little eunuch in her palace. After walking a few steps under the sun, she felt sweat on her back, and she walked slowly, but she was in a hurry.

Ronghua caught a glimpse of his master's figure, and hurriedly trotted all the way towards her. They have been stirred up by those ladies in the past few days, and the master can hide out, but there is no one left in this palace. If it weren't for the one who happened to meet him today, I'm afraid that the Dyeing Hall would not be clean for half a day.

"What does it look like to be so flustered, and I am not afraid of letting outsiders see it and damaging the face of the master. Ronghua just got closer, and Liangchen reprimanded loudly, the two of them were in charge of the maidservants and inner eunuchs in the palace, and Liangchen was afraid that the master would blame Ronghua, so he was embarrassed.

"Good master, spare me this time. Ronghua smiled all over his face and begged Lan Junyao for mercy.

"It's okay, you can tell me what's going on. "This little eunuch is very steady in his work, and if something serious hadn't happened, he would definitely not have acted so frivolously.

"Yes, master, the emperor has been here for a long time, and he has not been waiting for you, so the slave has the courage to come out to find the master. Thinking of the cloudy situation in the palace, the little eunuch still has a lingering heart.
