Lu Huiling was stunned in place, her eyes were flustered and helpless, she was able to gain a foothold in the palace, all relying on Qi Bingyu's favor, without Qi Bingyu's favor, she would be like an unfavored concubine in the cold palace, depressed in the palace, and no one would know if she died.

And she is still young, she still has things to do, and she categorically can't let herself be so negative in the palace.

"Then if you don't go to the emperor, what should the palace do?" Lu Huiling came to her senses and asked Xu Lan, "You can't sit still, right?" The emperor does not come to the palace now, because the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve is with Xia Rongxin, then Xia Rongxin... Xia Rongxin didn't know what bad things to say about the palace in front of the emperor! ”

Lu Huiling lowered her head and wrung her handkerchief, she was in a hurry, she wasn't worried that Qi Bingyu didn't love her, she didn't care at all-, what she loved in her heart had always been Qi Jingqin, and it had never changed.

But now that Qi Bingyu doesn't favor her, she has no way to help her father and His Royal Highness the Prince, so what's the point of her entering the palace?

What Lu Huiling is doing by the emperor's side now is closely related to the court, and only by relying on Lu Huiling to observe the emperor's attitude towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and pass the news to Lu Gaohong, Lu Gaohong can make a judgment on this, so as to establish the image of the prince as diligent in front of the emperor.

If she is not favored, there will be no way to serve by the emperor's side, and if the prince does something inappropriate to displease the emperor, there will be no one to speak for him.

What's more, if Qi Bingyu no longer spoils her, then when Qi Jingqin returns victorious, Liang Huanqing will definitely ride on her head.

Lu Huiling is arrogant, and she doesn't allow anyone to rebel against her, how can she tolerate being low in the future.

Moreover, seeing that Qizhou was recovered, it was a fact that all of them believed that Qi Jingqin would return triumphantly in the beginning of spring, and at that time, it would not be easy to deal with Qi Jingqin, and the crown prince's position as the prince would not be kept.

"Niangniang, isn't there a Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet?" Xu Lan pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up and said, "Do you remember that many years ago, Empress Mingxian danced on the Yaochi light boat at the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet?" ”

"You mean...," Lu Huiling squinted his eyes and said, "Let this palace also follow the example of Empress Mingxian at the beginning?" ”

Xu Lan nodded, she was the one who saw Empress Mingxian dancing on the Yaochi light boat with her own eyes, and Empress Mingxian at that time, both in age and body, was far inferior to Lu Huiling today, if Lu Huiling could dance on the light boat, it would definitely remind Qi Bingyu of Lu Fushuang back then.

"No!" Lu Huiling frowned and turned to say, "This year, she is presiding over the family banquet, but Xia Rongxin, how could she help the palace set up a light boat on the Yao Pond?" What's more, the palace is not favored now, and the internal affairs office will not help the palace anymore because of the punishment of the palace. ”

"Niangniang, it is not difficult to set up a light boat, and more importantly, it is brilliant." Xu Lan looked at Lu Huiling with shrewd eyes and said, "No matter what you do, you have to let the emperor notice you." ”

Lu Huiling pondered for a while after hearing this, and then asked, "Is there any special program for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet?" ”

She had also participated in the preparation of the family banquet before, knowing that this year there would be a special banquet for the general's family and foreign envoys to attend the family banquet, and before the family banquet began on Chinese New Year's Eve, it was natural to have a lively event.

"Dabble." Xu Lan had already inquired about these things, and she was waiting for Concubine Ming to ask.

"Dabbling? In the palace? With so many noble masters, is Xia Rongxin crazy? Lu Huiling asked in surprise with a frown.

"I heard that Mei Guifei Niangniang ordered the Internal Affairs Office to remove the arrows of the feather arrows, wrap them in red cloth, and make them into flat-headed arrows, which are both beautiful and safe, and are used to dabble in the generals, wives and some foreign envoys from the children of the family for fun, and there is also a first prize, so it is also very fun to think of such a novelty." Xu Lan said while thinking carefully.

Lu Huiling listened, frowned and groaned.

"Take off the arrows of the feathered arrows and wrap them in red cloth... Hehe..."Lu Huiling seemed to think of something, and couldn't help laughing, "Our noble concubine really dares to think of anything!" ”

Xu Lan looked at Concubine Ming's smile so madly, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind her, in the cold winter, Xu Lan's profane clothes couldn't help but be soaked with sweat, and I don't know what Concubine Ming thought again, the last time I saw her laughing like this, it was when the two palace maids were killed by the rod.

"Niangniang..."Xu Lan asked with a worried face, "You... What is this going to do? ”

Lu Huiling smiled mysteriously, and looked left and right at the courtyard of Minghua Hall, her courtyard was not as quiet as the Yichun Palace, the snow had already been swept away, and the palace maids and eunuchs performed their duties, one by one, standing under the eaves in the cold wind, such a cold weather, Lu Huiling felt cold just when he ran out for a while, and it was difficult for them to stand under the eaves for several hours.

However, Lu Huiling didn't have time to feel sorry for them, she just saw that there were many people here, and she was worried that someone would hear her next words and go to Mei Guifei to tell them, these words were not like the angry words she had said when she lost her temper before...

Looking at Xu Lan as if she wanted to speak and stopped, Lu Huiling smiled, Xu Lan on the left and right can be regarded as her own people, although she does not say that she is of the same heart and mind as herself, but she can be regarded as a grasshopper on a rope, if something happens to Lu Huiling, the first thing that can be thought of is Xu Lan.

"Go in and say." Lu Huiling smiled mysteriously and glanced at Xu Lan.

Xu Lan looked left and right at the palace maids and eunuchs who were bowing their heads to do things, and then followed Lu Huiling into the dormitory.

As soon as she arrived at the dormitory, Xu Lan hurriedly closed the door, and Lu Huiling was very satisfied with her reaction and pulled her to sit down.

"Niangniang, this is not appropriate..."Xu Lan refused to sit down side by side with Concubine Ming, and she had to stand up alive or dead.

Xu Lan Chengri is so timid that Lu Huiling doesn't like her, but she is also really obedient to the rules, and she doesn't want to sit down, so Lu Huiling won't be too embarrassed for her.

"Okay, then stand and talk." Lu Huiling didn't want to blame so much on such a trivial matter, and seeing that there was no one around, he said to Xu Lan slightly, "On the day of the dabbling, find an opportunity to put the real feather arrow in." ”

"Huh?" Xu Lan had some doubts and asked in surprise, "Niangniang, this... How can this be, there will be a death when the time comes, but the people present are the general's wife and the children of the official family, isn't this good? . ”

She had long known that Xu Lan would react like this, and Lu Huiling didn't feel strange, she smiled and continued: "I'm afraid that this palace won't be able to kill people..."

Lu Huiling's eyes flashed with a strange light, she wanted to put the real arrow in, but before distributing the feather arrow, it must be tested, and it can only be replaced secretly after the distribution.

"Mother, but when hunting, I put some rabbits or something for the entertainment of the masters, probably I can't kill people." Although Xu Lan didn't know what Concubine Ming wanted to do, she also knew that she had to work with her master with one heart and one mind, so she reminded.

Lu Huiling thought that if someone died that day, she could make Mei Guifei responsible, after all, such a dangerous thing was brought up by Mei Guifei, if something happened, she would definitely be troubled, but how could she create an accident?

Lu Huiling pondered for a moment, thinking that if he deliberately hit the feather arrow and was accidentally injured, he could not only make Concubine Mei responsible, but also make the emperor feel distressed.

But as soon as this idea came out, Lu Huiling shook his head: No, in this way, if you accidentally lose your life, the gains outweigh the losses, and besides, you must stay out of this matter in order to kill two birds with one stone.

Xu Lan watched Lu Huiling meditate and keep wiping the red paint on her hands, Lu Huiling accidentally caught a glimpse, so she asked casually: "What's wrong with your hands?" ”

"Huh? Oh. Xu Lan slowed down, looked up at the red paint on her hand, and said to Lu Huiling, "Niangniang, this is the dye for dyeing window flowers, this is not the end of the year, is it almost Chinese New Year's Eve, the slave thought that Minghuatang ushered in Chinese New Year's Eve for the first time, it was necessary to be lively and lively, so she dyed the window flowers with a few palace maids." The self-dyed window grilles are beautiful and clean. ”

Lu Huiling took Xu Lan's hand and wiped it gently, Xu Lan hurriedly pulled it back: "Niangniang, this will be washed off in two days, and it won't get in the way." ”

"Can this dye stick to anything?" Lu Huiling suddenly asked.

"Yes, this dye can stick to anything, that is, it is pasted on the window paper, and a layer of red pigment can be rubbed off with a touch of hands, in the past during the Chinese New Year, the dyes left over by our folk adults, we all use paper and cloth, and there are always some waste leftovers that are not needed, glued with dyes, and thrown to each other to play, and in the end, whoever sticks more pigment on his body will be dead." Xu Lan looked at these red paints and recalled the beauty of her childhood in the past, "Bah, bah, the New Year, you can't say unlucky words, Niangniang forgives you." ”

Lu Huiling looked at the red paint on Xu Lan's hand, and couldn't help but be fascinated, listening to the childhood game she just said, she thought of a wonderful solution.

"Xu Lan, go, please come to the nobles." Lu Huiling said coldly to Xu Lan.

"Nobleman?" Xu Lan couldn't help but ask.

Didn't you say that Chinese New Year's Eve was involved, why did you suddenly call the nobles again?

"Why do you ask so much, just let you go, you go." Lu Huiling couldn't help it, she thought that if this method worked, then it would be interesting to dabble in on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Xia Rongxin, Liang Huanqing, none of them will be better.

Seeing Concubine Ming's expression, Xu Lan also hurriedly said goodbye and ran out.

The nobles live in the side hall of the Lanyuan Pavilion, although they are not the main mother, but the entire Lanyuan Pavilion is only the master of the nobles, and they are also considered to be the days of the main position, and they are bored on weekdays, so they will only deal with the concubines who live nearby, and they are not offended on several sides in the palace.
