Ling Yueyan looked back at Li Nannan, stared at her face and said seriously, "Do you really want to go in like this?" ”

"What, I'm afraid I'll steal your limelight? I deliberately put on this makeup for Brother Ye Zheng. Li Nannan snorted, jumping next to Ling Yueyan was very annoying, if it was outside, she would have beaten it with a fist.

Li Nannan is actually very good-looking, but every time the makeup is too thick to be out of place, some people are not naturally suitable for heavy makeup, if it can be a little lighter, it will look much better, and they are going to kneel in Chaoyang Palace when they enter the palace this time, Ling Yueyan thought, now even those concubines who are usually favored may not dare to dress up like this.

That sound of Brother Ye Zheng made Ling Yueyan angry, and he wanted to remind her, so he was so angry that he walked forward, and he didn't want to tell her a word, if he was really found out and punished, it would be revenge for Li Nannan for using the cook to tease her.

When he arrived outside the Chaoyang Palace, he was stopped by the guards at the door, and Ling Yueyan, who was the leader, knew that it was Xiao Fu, the commander of the city guards, and his sister had just married the eldest prince this year and became a side concubine.

The eunuch who led the way behind him stepped forward to negotiate, Xiao Fu looked fierce, and after listening to the eunuch's words, he pointed at Li Nannan and said, "She can go in." Then he pointed at Ling Yueyan: "She can't do it." ”

Ling Yueyan looked directly at Xiao Fu's gaze, not afraid at all, but after all, he hadn't really dealt with such a scene, and he just stood in place and didn't dare to speak easily.

The eunuch's face was embarrassed, but he really couldn't do it, now this Chaoyang Palace was surrounded by the people of the eldest prince and the second prince inside and out, and he didn't dare to say anything about a little eunuch, for fear that his head would be lost if he was not careful.

General Ling didn't know when he came, so he gently grabbed Ling Yueyan's waist from behind and patted her twice to show comfort and give her confidence.

"I don't know how my daughter offended Commander Xiao?" As soon as the words came out, Xiao Fu still looked panicked, and clenched his fists and said, "General Ling." ”

General Ling didn't show any mercy to Xiao Fu, he directly punched Xiao Fu in the shoulder in front of several ministers around him: "Before it was known who the throne was, the dog began to bark. ”

The faces of the people around changed one after another, even Li Nannan, the fool who couldn't understand the good words, was scared into a cold sweat, the ministers were all knowledgeable, and his father's position in the court was stable, after this trouble, the wind direction was about to change.

Father has a heavy responsibility on his body, naturally he can't accompany her all the time, she followed the eunuch to the designated position, and knelt on the ground honestly, surrounded by a few young ladies she knew, Ling Yueyan looked ahead, there were too many people to see Brother Ye Zheng, there was a eunuch beside her to remind her to bow her head, she hurriedly lowered her head again.

It seems that it is in vain, and it is worth it to take a look at the back, but this is good, and it will be two days of kneeling in vain.

The green pomegranate could not come in, but after an hour he would ask the eunuch to come in and bring some food, and he took care of it very carefully, and knelt until it was dark, and then someone came to announce that the hour had come.

It's finally over, after kneeling for a whole day, I'm really tired, Ling Yueyan sat down and got up, his feet were so sore that he couldn't stand firmly, and fell to the side, fortunately he was caught, otherwise he would have fallen ugly, so many people looked really shameless.

Ling Yueyan looked back, it was Zhao Quan, the only son of Lord Zhao, a cabinet scholar, Ling Yueyan hurriedly pushed away and walked away: "Thank you Zhao Gongzi." ”

"It's okay, I've been staring at Sister Yueyan, just for fear that you will fall, but fortunately I caught it, otherwise it won't hurt anywhere." Zhao Gongzi said, his face was still a little flushed.

Ling Yueyan is not very familiar with this Zhao Gongzi, the cabinet bachelor Zhao is old-fashioned and scrupulous, and he is even more strict with his only son, and he usually can't see any trace of Zhao Gongzi in poetry meetings or anything, but once he met at a royal banquet.

"I was negligent, I didn't expect my feet to be sore after kneeling for a long time." She has never knelt for so long since she was a child, and her father has never punished her for kneeling no matter how severe she is, at most she has thought about it for two hours, but she has never been serious.

Zhao Gongzi is honest, this is obviously a coping word, just reply casually and leave, he is very serious: "Naturally, General Ling's love for his daughter is unknown to anyone in the capital, unlike me who is often punished by my father to kneel." ”

"Also, Sister Yueyan, if your feet are really sore, when you get to the place where you sleep in the side hall for a while, remember to ask the maid to find some hot water to compress your feet, and it is best to go to the imperial doctor to ask for some Wei Zi to put in the water, so..."

"Zhao Quan." Someone screamed out out of nowhere, Ling Yueyan turned around and saw a back, it was the back of a guard, no matter who he was, he finally relieved her, her feet were really sore, and she didn't want to stand here and listen to people's chatter.

So Ling Yueyan hurriedly said: "Presumably the son's attendant is urging, then I will leave first." After speaking, before Zhao Quan could reply, he turned around and left.

There is not one way for men and women to go out, presumably in the palace in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, deliberately set up like this, tonight is to stay in the palace temporarily, because tomorrow morning to get up, and have to kneel for half a day.

Lu Liu waited outside for a long time, she was always calm and stomped her feet in a hurry, the ladies of all the families left the half-pillar incense, and when she saw Ling Yueyan, she hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Miss, why did it take so long to come out?" ”

"It's okay, I've met a verbose ghost."

"What... Ghost? Miss, don't scare me. "It's cold at night, it's already cold, no matter how much Lu Pomegranate is taught by Uncle Zhang, she is just a maid who hasn't read a book, and she's as timid as a cat.

I didn't feel it just now, but now that my feet were blown by the wind, her feet hurt, and she was propped up on the green pomegranate, and she staggered to follow the eunuch in front of her to the side hall.

The palace usually does not leave people to live, only in this case, in order to prevent the sons and ladies of the family from running back and forth, will temporarily clean some side halls, naturally it is not as good as their own home, just like the inn of the restaurant, it is estimated that it is usually either empty, or it is the residence of those maids in the palace.

"It's the general's daughter, and I don't want to find a better place for us to live, usually the young lady goes to the palace to stay overnight, but she lives in the palace of Princess Minghua." Green pomegranate muttered as she made the bed.

Green pomegranate has always been silent, and at this time he said such things because the room was really small, maybe he was a little tired after standing outside for a day, and it was inevitable to complain.

"This time the situation is different, so many people have come at once, if I am allowed to go elsewhere, what will those young ladies think?" Ling Yueyan patiently explained, thinking that it was fortunate that he didn't bring a small box, if the small box was there, he might be even more irritable.

"May I ask if this is the residence of Miss Ling, the daughter of General Ling?" A little palace maid outside asked.

Everyone should go to sleep at this hour, she doesn't want to cause any trouble, Ling Yueyan glanced at the green pomegranate, and said that she had slept no matter what she was looking for.

Lu Liu understood what Ling Yueyan meant, and stepped forward and made a slight crack: "Where are you the little palace maid?" ”

The little palace maid took a few steps forward and whispered: "I am from Yuhua Palace, and our mother wants to invite the young lady to talk." ”

"Thank you, on behalf of our young lady, I will make amends to my mother, and after the young lady comes back, I will fall asleep, because I will kneel in Chaoyang Palace tomorrow, and the green pomegranate will not dare to disturb easily." The green pomegranate is an excellent saying, which not only saves face, but also has a good reason not to go.

The little palace maid took a few steps forward and took out a purse from her arms: "Since that's the case, that's it, this is Zhu Weizi, put some in the water where your young lady soaks her feet, it will make the soreness less." ”

The green pomegranate took the word and thanked the little palace maid and left, and the green pomegranate quickly closed the door to prevent the cold wind outside from blowing in a little more.

"Miss, since Concubine Hu has asked the palace maid to come to us, why didn't you agree?" Concubine Hu is the mother of Princess Minghua, and Lu Liu thinks that she must have found a reason to take the young lady to Princess Minghua's Yuhua Palace.

Ling Yueyan didn't reply, and looked at the purse in Lu Liu's hand: "Since someone else gave it, you can go to the palace maid who hasn't slept to ask for hot water." ”

The green pomegranate didn't drag, put down the purse and went.

Ling Yueyan picked up the purse and studied it, the workmanship of the purse was very meticulous, it was a lock silk embroidery method, embroidered a lark, this was not like something in Concubine Hu's palace, and with Concubine Hu's arrogant temperament, how could she send her something.

After thinking about it for a long time, it occurred to me that maybe it was Zhao Gongzi, who should have met the little palace maid who came to her on the road, and asked someone else by the way.

But this Concubine Hu, what is the purpose of coming to her in the middle of the night so late? She fell out of favor after giving birth to five princes six years ago because of rumors with the guards, and in the past two years, the rumors have disappeared before she was favored and crowned a concubine, and now she has five princes and six princesses.

In addition to the second and third princes born to the queen in the harem, the eldest prince and the fourth prince born to Cao Guifei, only she has children, the fifth prince is still young, and the sixth princess is a daughter and is still in infancy.

Waiting for the green pomegranate to come back, Ling Yueyan said while putting on his shoes after soaking his feet: "Clean up, let's go to Princess Minghua's." ”

The green pomegranate was naturally happy, and it was quickly cleaned up, and the little palace maid had not left outside the side hall, and she was very excited to see them come out.

"Niangniang said that Miss is a kind and transparent person, and the slave maid is here to thank Miss for her great kindness." The little palace maid actually knelt down and slammed her head on the ground.

This is not the place to speak, Ling Yueyan asked Lu Gu to help people up and head towards Yuhua Palace.

Concubine Hu did not appear in Yuhua Palace, not even Princess Minghua, she was the only one in the huge Yuhua Palace, the surrounding palace maids served very thoughtfully, Ling Yueyan probably guessed Concubine Hu's intentions, and did not say much, she fell asleep, every time she entered the palace, the emperor would allow her to live in Yuhua Palace, so there would be more contact with Concubine Hu, Concubine Hu was fierce and aggressive on the surface, but in fact she was a woman with a ravine in her heart, otherwise how could she give birth to two heirs safely in this deep palace.
