The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the Taiwei Mansion, because the close guards sent Bang Chun back first, the Taiwei knew what was going on, and waited outside the palace early to meet the emperor.

"Minister, bring the inner room to welcome the emperor!" As soon as the carriage appeared in sight, Mrs. Li led the ladies in the backyard to kneel down.

After Li Shenlan helped Gonggong Hou get out of the carriage, the emperor turned around and called to get up. After all, it was the king who came in person, and even the captain, who was an old minister of the two dynasties, was inevitably a little frightened.

"It's rare for me to pay a private visit, but I didn't expect to meet the second lady, and the conversation was also speculation. Let the second lady come back late, Taiwei don't blame. ”

said this, let alone come back late, then the captain would like to take Li Shenlan directly into the palace, let alone blame? Besides, this is the king, and the captain is a courtier, how can any courtier blame the king?

"The minister doesn't dare, it's an honor for the little girl to be able to get into the eyes of the emperor." Fortunately, the emperor did not say what happened in public, and the Taiwei could be regarded as a sigh of relief. "The Qin guards arrived first and informed the emperor that he was coming, so they prepared refreshments for you early in the morning and invited the emperor to enter the palace."

Taiwei was also well-intentioned, he wanted to keep the emperor for dinner, but he never thought that the emperor would refuse directly.

"There are still a lot of folds to be approved in the Heart Palace, and besides, the time to come out today is not short, so I won't enter the house. The good things prepared by the Tai Lieutenant should be kept for the second lady. ”

After speaking, without waiting for the captain to react to the meaning of these words, he turned around and got into the carriage, and the group of people knelt down with Li Shenlan to send them off. When the emperor's carriage disappeared at the end of the road, the Taiwei got up and dispersed everyone, Li Shenlan didn't say much, and he was still thinking about Bang Chun, so he hurriedly saluted the Taiwei and hurriedly ran to Xiaoyuxuan.

Xiaoyuxuan and Zangdong waited there early in the morning, and Liuxia followed the doctor to wait in the side room, and from the expressions of the two, it could be seen that the situation of Bang Chun was very bad.

In the house, the doctor was kneeling beside the bed to apply medicine to Bang Chun, Bang Chun had obvious slap marks on his face, and there was a piece of skin on his forehead, not to mention the bruises and purple injuries on his arms. Li Shenlan caught a glimpse of the clothes that Bang Chun took off next to the bed, where is it still called clothes, they have long been torn into strips of cloth. Li Shenlan's eyes looked away as if they had been pricked by needles. She didn't know how to face the broken person on the bed, but when she saw these clothes, she had already guessed Bang Chun's experience.

Blame yourself, if you can be faster, if you don't get into Lu Xin's trap, stay in the theater and don't come out, or enter Yong'an Lane without gambling your life, Bang Chun will be fine.

When there was silence all around, Bang Chun heard someone come in and opened his mouth first.

"Miss is it okay......" Bang Chun's throat hurt very much, and his voice was dumb.

Li Shenlan couldn't hold back her tears anymore when she heard this, and stepped forward to take the medicine for Bang Chun.

"It's all my fault that made you suffer."

Bang Chun pulled the corners of his mouth and shook his head with a smile, "Miss is fine, Bang Chun is a slave and maid is nothing." The face was full of injuries and forced to smile, but the doctor on the side couldn't help but have red eyes when he saw it.

Li Shenlan wanted to reach out and touch Bangchun, but she was injured all over her body and had no way to do it, so she could only cry and take good medicine in her eyes to soothe her and fall asleep.

"Bang Chun's body ......"

After leaving the house, Li Shenlan asked about her worries.

"This girl has lost her body, but the second lady can rest assured, she will prescribe some medicine to avoid the fetus for the girl to take."

"That's good, I'm bothering you to take care of it, and you have to use the best medicine!"

The doctor said yes again and again, and hurriedly went down to prescribe medicine. Li Shenlan asked the two of them to take care of Bang Chun in the autumn and winter, and she led Liuxia to the Taiwei study.

Besides, Li Mingyue and the others, who were still waiting for news in the teahouse, saw that there was no news for a long time, Li Mingyue was so anxious that she couldn't sit still, and kept spinning around the table.

"Don't turn around, I'm dizzy when I turn." Lu Xin was also turned by Li Mingyue with a headache, and she complained about it for an unknown number of times.

"Sister Lu doesn't blame me for complaining, why is there no news after you said that it has been an hour."

As he spoke, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Miss is not good! Li Shenlan was rescued! ”

"What!" The two of them shouted at the same time.

"Miss, the slave maid stayed over there as instructed, but I saw Li Shenlan being ...... Being"

"By what!" Li Mingyue was about to die, and she wanted to ruin Li Shenlan's reputation, but now she told her that she had been rescued!

Lu Xin's maid was also startled by Li Mingyue's roar, and could only tremble: "Yes...... It was saved by the Holy One......"

"Your Majesty!" At this time, even Lu Xin was shocked, and even the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground.

The sound of the tea cup falling to the ground woke everyone up, and the two sides looked at each other in shock, and Li Mingyue panicked. It is also said that everything is arranged without leakage, and the situation is reversed at once.

"How can it be the emperor, how can the emperor be on the street?"

Lu Xin also couldn't believe it, but this maid had entered the palace with her, so the emperor wouldn't be wrong if she wanted to. Realizing the problem, Lu Xin knew that if he didn't pick himself up, if Li Shenlan took care of it, he would be burned to death, not to mention, he was afraid that Shangshu Mansion would be implicated.

"Sister Lu, what now? If the slut told his father, he would only be afraid...... My sister must save me! ”

"Save you from what?" Lu Xin has already changed his original face at this moment, if he wants to say that he just wanted to watch the two sisters of the Li family fight, and he also reaped the benefits while watching the play, but now that he threatens his own interests, Lu Xin will naturally not be polite.

"You came up with the idea, the person who hates her is you, Li Mingyue and not me, what does this have to do with me?"

Seeing that Lu Xin turned her face, Li Mingyue was ashamed and angry, and she couldn't wait to go up and tear Lu Xin's face now.

"It's none of your business! Lu Xin, you found all those ruffians, if your father finds out, do you still want to get rid of it? ”

The two of them, who were originally sisters, were afraid that they would be punished at this time, and they both showed their most primitive faces for a while. If Li Shenlan knew about this scene, she was afraid that she would laugh out loud.

"Li Mingyue, let me tell you, don't say that you can't threaten me, even if you do, you don't look at who I am. My father is a secretary of the military department, and he was an official in the court when the first emperor was there, so he didn't say that the captain and his father were still good friends, but now the saint still has to give his father a thin noodle. ”

Lu Xin didn't care about any sisterhood at the moment, and when she heard that Li Mingyue wanted to drag herself into the water, she directly moved out of the military department to block the gun.

"Besides, what are you, after all, you're just a concubine. I'm an upright concubine, do you think the captain will trouble my father for your concubine? ”

Hearing Lu Xin scolding herself for being a cheap species, Li Mingyue also had red eyes, "Lu Xin!" You have the face to say to me, what do you want yourself, if it weren't for your mother-in-law dying early, it would be your turn to be a concubine! ”

It's funny, the two sisters have known best for many years that what they say will poke each other's hearts, and Li Mingyue is also ruthless, talking about Lu Xin's sore spots.

"Ah~ Or is it that your mother-in-law was killed by you and your mother at all......"

"Shut up!" Without waiting for Li Mingyue to finish speaking, Lu Xin stepped forward and scuffled with him.

While the two were entangled, a familiar voice came from outside the door of the private room.

"Third Miss, the master ordered you to go home immediately." It was the voice of Steward Wu beside Taiwei.

Li Mingyue was almost escorted back to the Taiwei Mansion by Steward Wu, and along the way, I heard from Steward Wu that the two ruffians who were caught had been recruited, and now Taiwei was waiting for Li Mingyue in the study.

As soon as I entered the study, I saw Li Shenlan sitting on the side drinking tea, and the Taiwei didn't know what he was thinking about with his back to Li Mingyue. Hearing the footsteps, the captain slowly turned around, and Li Mingyue could see that the anger in the captain's eyes couldn't be suppressed.

"Where?"

"I was in a panic when I stayed in the house alone, so I asked someone to go to the teahouse to taste tea." Li Mingyue is still holding on to luck, anyway, Lu Xin is not here now, if she puts all the blame on Lu Xin, no one will come to debunk her.

I never thought that Taiwei didn't plan to let her go this time, but seeing that Li Mingyue didn't know the crime, he took the tea cup in his hand and threw it at Li Mingyue's feet as soon as he got angry.

"You don't know what to do! Did I tell you that I don't ask you to respect your second sister, but you must not persecute her! You're acting here for me now, looking at me, am you! ”

After the Taiwei roared, Li Mingyue knelt on the ground in fright, but he still did not admit his guilt.

"Persecution of the second sister? Father! The daughter didn't, the daughter absolutely didn't. Since the second sister entered the house, although my daughter doesn't like her to share your love, she still respects her very much on face, how can she harm her! Father, you must find out! ”

Seeing that the Taiwei was still unmoved, Li Mingyue simply stood up and rushed towards Li Shenlan.

"Li Shenlan is not you, you must be slandering me! You have been against me since you entered the house, and now you are slandering me in front of my father! ”

Li Mingyue roared and beat Li Shenlan with her hands, but this time Li Shenlan didn't want to endure it anymore, so she directly raised her foot and kicked Li Mingyue to the side.

"I slandered you, didn't you join forces with Lu Xin to treat me to death? This time it was my great fortune that I met the saint, so I saved a life, otherwise I am afraid that I will be like Bang Chun, and my reputation will be ruined! ”

Speaking of which, Li Mingyue's brain turned quickly, and after listening to Li Shenlan's words, she stood up and shouted that she was wronged.

"Father, it's really none of my business, it's all ...... It's all Lu Xin's idea, but she can't get used to the second sister, because ...... Because the second sister has always been good friends with Wang Jun'er, Lu Xin can't get used to it, so she asks me for help. ”

I thought that everything was said so clearly, how could Li Mingyue admit her mistake, but she didn't want her to still admit it so stubbornly. Li Shenlan thought of Bang Chun, who was lying on the bed covered in bruises, and when she saw Li Mingyue in front of her, she was angry for a while, and slapped Li Mingyue twice before standing up.

"You are still quibbling, Lu Xin and I have no grievances or hatred, it is nothing more than what you instigated. Li Mingyue, you are afraid that I will compete with you for the place in the palace election, I admit it. So that day, I also begged my father to let you also enter the palace to run, and we will compete fairly. But yours, in order to keep me from entering the palace, you don't hesitate to destroy my body! ”

The more Li Shenlan spoke, the more angry she became, and she raised her hand and wanted to slap Li Mingyue again, but she was restrained by the captain behind her.

"Shen Lan, my father promised you that you would give you justice."

"It's not about giving my daughter justice, it's about giving her a fair life! Bang Chun, a daughter who has not left the cabinet, suffers these sins, I will never swallow this breath! ”

Hearing this, Li Mingyue suddenly laughed. "It's just a maid, and if she destroys it, she's unlucky!"

This is the Taiwei can't help but slap Li Mingyue, the family rules of the Taiwei Mansion are to treat his own subordinates as civilians, and they must not deliberately punish and abuse. Li Mingyue's words touched the anger of the Tai Lieutenant, and the Tai Wei turned around and threw a letter from the table in front of Li Mingyue.

"What is this! Li Mingyue, I told you, don't meddle in my affairs, what's going on with this letter! ”

This letter is nothing else, it is the letter sent by Lu Xin's maid that day, which tells Li Shenlan's life experience and the current place where the second elder of the Song family lives.

Li Shenlan picked up the letter and wrote in her eyes that her father and mother lived in the house of Lane 83 on the outskirts of Beijing, what does Li Mingyue mean by this? It's not enough to inquire about your own background, but you also want to threaten your parents?

Li Mingyue saw that the matter was completely exposed, so she simply stopped pretending, looked at Li Shenlan with a fierce face, and stared at the captain with resentment.

"Yes, I did it. But this is what she Li Shenlan deserves! Obviously, it is not the bloodline of the Li family at all, why should I snatch everything that should belong to me? And as soon as you enter the house, you are the identity of the grandson, why, why! ”

At this moment, Li Mingyue was already a little crazy, her eyes were red and bloodshot from crying, and her hair was tossed back and forth like a crazy woman.

"Father, you are always so partial, you were partial to the eldest sister at the beginning, but she is your own daughter in the end. Now why are you so partial to this slut! She's not your daughter! ”

"Or is it because they're all descendants? Because it was a concubine, it was obviously her Li Mingjin who tore up the excerpt you wanted to play when she was a child, but as long as she didn't admit it, it was all my fault? You asked me not to be jealous, not to really target Li Shenlan, but I don't understand, why don't you let go of a biological daughter and you don't succeed you, but want to find someone for no reason to be your daughter? ”

"You say, how can I not fight for myself!"

Li Mingyue roared, and even Li Shenlan on the side heard the grievances.

"You are pitiful, you could have played fair with me, but you have to use dirty and dirty means, who is to blame?"

"Nonsense! I finally managed to get rid of a Li Mingjin, how can I allow a country girl to fight with me! Li Shenlan, I really hate it sometimes, why are all good things yours, even if I have worked hard to manage the trap for you, there will be a saint who will come forward to save you. This sky is really unfair......"

As Li Mingyue spoke, she seemed to have been suddenly drained of her strength, and fell to her knees with a soft body. It's just that there are still a few ridicules in his mouth from time to time, and he doesn't know if he is really laughing at Li Shenlan or laughing at herself.

"Someone came, the third lady suddenly fell ill, so that her mind went crazy and behaved perversely. Immediately sent to the suburban Zhuangzi, without my orders, you are not allowed to come back! ”

The lieutenant was punished, but in the end Li Mingyue was not allowed to accept the criminal punishment on his body. Li Shenlan also knew that no matter how Li Mingyue was said to be the only daughter of the Taiwei, no matter how she said it, it was impossible to take Li Mingyue's life.

It's just that Lu Xin......

"Father, the person who inquired about my background couldn't do it at all. Besides, the person who invited me to the play this time was Lu Xin, but I was afraid that ......"

Taiwei glanced at Li Shenlan, and felt that the woman in front of him was like two people who had just entered the palace before, which was a good thing, at least she could adapt better after entering the palace.

"The Lu family is also an important minister of the two dynasties, plus I am quite good friends with the military department on weekdays, Lu Xin is his only daughter, I can't move easily." Seeing that Li Shenlan still refused to give up, the captain had no choice but to change her mind.

"You know where your parents live now, in order to avoid people's tongues, don't go to see them privately, I will arrange a carriage to send you there in a few days, and it will be good for you to miss you."

Hearing that she could see her parents again, Li Shenlan was overjoyed, and she also knew that Lu Xin was behind the secretary of the military department, and she couldn't act rashly. But she always has to enter the palace, and things change a lot when she enters the palace, but it is up to the people of Shangshu Mansion to protect her.

After retreating from the study, Li Shenlan rushed back to Xiaoyuxuan to take care of Bang Chun, thinking of Lu Xin who was at large, Li Shenlan secretly swore in her heart:

Lu Xin, we will come to Japan for a long time......

In Bixi Garden, Aunt Xiao, who didn't know what was going on, was holding the soles of her shoes for the captain. This has been a habit for so many years, and when everything is fine, Aunt Xiao will do some embroidery work and give it to Taiwei, who also likes these things.

The soles of the shoes looked almost ready, but the thread in her hand was not enough, Aunt Xiao picked up the sewing box next to her hand and rummaged for a long time but did not find it, so she had to call the maid outside to find it.

"Liu Xiang, go to the storeroom and find some ink-colored embroidery thread! Willow incense! This girl went crazy again. Aunt Xiao saw that no one responded for half a day, so she could only get up and go to the warehouse to find it.

"Auntie! Aunt! Oh no, something happened to Miss Three! ”

Liu Xiang ran in from outside and shouted at the top of her voice, and the embroidery thread that Aunt Xiao had just found fell to the ground, and the thread bag rolled and slipped far away.

"What's going on, what's wrong with Yue'er?"

"The third lady provoked the lord to be angry, and the lord ordered the young lady to be sent to the village in the suburbs, and he didn't give it back if he didn't tell him!"

Aunt Xiao's face turned pale when she heard this, she didn't dare to think how much mistake Li Mingyue had made, so that the Taiwei, who usually doted on her, directly ordered to rush to Zhuangzi.

"Where is Yue'er now?" Aunt Xiao still wanted to go to Taiwei to plead for mercy, even if it was better to be grounded than to be driven out.

"The slave maid also knows, calculating the time, the young lady is afraid that she has already left the house."

didn't have time to think about it, Aunt Xiao ran to the door of the house, because she was anxious to see the woman, Aunt Xiao almost crooked her foot after several steps. ran and jogged like this, and finally arrived before Li Mingyue got into the carriage.

"Yue'er!"

Li Mingyue also heard Aunt Xiao's shout, and hurriedly stopped and turned around and walked towards Aunt Xiao.

"Aunt Xiao, the old slave was ordered by the master to send the third lady to Zhuangzi, and I hope you don't embarrass us to be a slave."

The order of the captain was to send Li Mingyue over immediately, and Steward Wu Xu couldn't get used to this parting scene, and Aunt Xiao took off the bracelet again, crying and begging. Steward Wu was relieved and let the mother and daughter say a few words.

"Yue'er, what the hell is going on. My lord has always loved you, what have you done wrong to suffer this? ”

No wonder Aunt Xiao is worried, the maid around the Xiao family used to sweep there for a while, listening to her description, Zhuangzi is in disrepair and no one lives there, and there are cobwebs everywhere. From time to time, cockroaches and rats will come out of the corner. In such an environment, not to mention a pampered daughter like Li Mingyue, even ordinary people who are used to doing labor errands don't want to live there.

Li Mingyue was naturally unwilling, but the captain gave the order and didn't wait for her to react and plead, and she was dragged out of the house from the study by her subordinates.

"It's all Li Shenlan's slut! Auntie, Yue'er just went out to drink tea with Lu Xin, and Li Shenlan was targeted by thieves for not abiding by women's morals, but she slandered me in front of her father, saying that I framed her. Auntie, I didn't! You must mention Yue'er for revenge, Yue'er was all harmed by Li Shenlan's slut! ”

Aunt Xiao didn't believe that Li Mingyue had provoked the captain, and since she beat Li Mingyue to be sensible, she was very good at pleasing the captain. Now that Li Mingyue said this, Aunt Xiao naturally blamed Li Shenlan for all the blame.

"That slut is not honest when she calls, Yue'er rest assured, she killed you and I but still stayed in the house, as long as I am in the house for a day, I will never let her be happy."

"Take good care, my aunt will ask someone to send you some subsidies every few days, and you can pass it back if you have anything to say."

At this point, Aunt Xiao can only do this. Although Li Mingyue was unwilling, there was no other way. Steward Wu on the side saw that the two hugged and hugged, and refused to separate, and saw that the sky was already dark. After all, he stepped forward to remind and separated the two.

Li Mingyue looked up at the plaque in the Taiwei Mansion, closed her eyes fiercely, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

At night, the early spring wind still feels cooler when the sun goes down, and occasionally one or two jays fly down on the palace wall, and when they fly, they drop a piece of leaves.

"Let's put on a dress, although it's spring, it's still cooler at night." Xiyan has been serving with the queen since she was a child, and it is inevitable that she will nag after a long time.

The queen also smiled lightly and let Xiyan put on herself.

"It's really a big girl, this is such a nagging before you get married, how can your husband stand it if you marry out in the future?" The queen was in a good mood today, smiling and joking.

"Niangniang is a slave again, and the slave has been with Niangniang for more than ten years, but she can't leave Niangniang."

"Could it be that you still have to follow this palace for the rest of your life?"

"As long as the mother doesn't dislike it, the slave will accompany the mother for a lifetime, and the old girl will be the old girl, as long as she follows the mother, it won't be too long for a lifetime."

Xiyan is in the prime of peach and plum this year, although it is already a discord at this age that he has not married at this age of the world, but Xiyan does not feel it at all.

Look at the half-coquettish squatting beside the queen now, with his head slightly leaning on the queen's shoulder.

A master and a servant were happy, and the eunuch guarding the door suddenly came to the courtyard to report, saying that Gonggong Hou and Xiao Dezi had come to deliver something to the queen.

Xiyan was overjoyed when she heard this, and stood up suddenly. "Every time the emperor makes a private visit, he has to bring Yifangzhai's pastries to his mother, and this time he must bring a lot of them, and Xiao Dezi will follow him."

The queen was also happy to hear this, and the smile on her face was even more.

"Please come in, it just so happens that the palace is enjoying the night view with Xiyan, and we can also use the pastries as an after-dinner refreshment."

The eunuch was ordered, but after a while, Father-in-law Hou came in with a food box.

"The slave greets the queen."

The queen looked at the food box in Hou's father-in-law's hand, it was indeed bigger than last time.

"This is the pastry that the emperor specially brought to the mother, and there are several new styles, and the mother has a try. The emperor said that if the mother thinks it is delicious, she will bring you more next time. ”

"The emperor has a heart, and the Hou Gonggong is also tired, this is the lily lotus seed soup prepared by the palace for the emperor, the emperor is tired for a day, and the lily is the most soothing. The main palace has also prepared one for you, and you can take it back to work and drink it later. ”

Everyone in the palace knows that the queen has always been considerate of her subordinates, and everyone in the palace likes to take errands from Changle Palace.

"The mother loves to love people, and the minions are grateful."

After thanking Gonggong Hou, he turned around and planned to leave. I didn't want Xiyan to suddenly stop, "Did you forget anything when your father-in-law walked to the hurry, I heard that Xiao Dezi is outside." ”

Being greeted by Xiyan like this, Gonggong Hou turned around and explained in great embarrassment.

"Back to the queen's mother, the emperor met the second girl of the Taiwei family on the street today, and the speculation of the chat simply sent the second girl home. On the way, the second girl tasted the pastries in the imperial dining room and felt delicious, no, the emperor asked the servants to go to the Taiwei Mansion to send some more pastries to the second girl. This slave took care of the queen's mother, and if he wanted to steal a leisure, he handed it over to Xiao Dezi. ”

After Father-in-law Hou finished saying this, he didn't see the queen speak for a while, as if he thought of something, Father-in-law Hou hurriedly knelt down and confessed.

"What's wrong with my father-in-law, Xiyan just asked, father-in-law don't think about it. It's hard to accompany the emperor on this day, so let's go back early. ”

"The minions are gone."

When Father-in-law Hou came out of Changle Palace, Xiyan knelt in front of the queen with a plop.

"The slave and the maid are talkative, and the slave and the maid are guilty."

"You're curious, too, get up."

Seeing that the queen was not angry, Xiyan slowly stood up and walked to the small table to open the food box. It is indeed filled with fresh pastries, all of which are new products from Yifangzhai. Xiyan tasted the chopsticks and saw that he was okay before he went to the queen's side. But the queen just glanced at it, and then shook her head again.

"I just had dinner and I don't have an appetite to eat." The queen looked up at the sky, and somehow the moon, which was still bright, was mostly obscured by the clouds.

"Well, the evening in early spring is still very cold, and the moon can't be seen when the wind blows. Xiyan, the palace is tired, you ordered someone to prepare water, the palace wants to rest early. ”

"Niangniang...... "Obviously just in good spirits."

"Go ahead." After speaking, the queen got up alone and walked into the house.

In the courtyard, the box of pastries on the table was quietly placed there. A cool breeze blew, and I don't know which tree was the leaf on it, but it was the season of germination, but the dead leaves fell on the pastry early.

In the mirror, the tired queen quietly looked behind her and took off her hair ornaments.

"Niangniang, the second miss of the Li family is really shameless, she hasn't entered the palace yet, she is thinking of a way to seduce the emperor."

"Xiyan, don't go beyond the rules." The queen raised her eyes and looked at the angry Xiyan. "Even if the second girl doesn't meet the emperor, sooner or later she will enter the palace. As long as the emperor likes it, it's not your turn to chew your tongue here. ”

"Niangniang, the slave maid is wronged for Niangniang."

"This palace is the mother of a country and the lord of the six palaces, so naturally it is not worth a short time. Don't say these things anymore, you don't have to laugh at them. ”

Xiyan could only respond, combed the queen's black hair again, and turned around to help prepare water.

The queen looked at the phoenix crown on the table and was stupid, and suddenly sighed for no reason, and was about to get up, but her chest was stabbed with pain, like a needle prick, and she couldn't move.

After preparing the water behind the screen, the queen came out with a painful face, covering her chest with a painful face, and she was even panting carefully.

"! Doctor! Hurry up and call it too ......"

"No need!" The queen grabbed Xiyan's wrist violently, and gasped for a long time before relieving herself. "Lao Mao is sick, and it's useless for the doctor to come. Go and bring the medicine in the drawer, maybe I am tired of accompanying the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha in the past two days. ”

Although Xiyan was worried, in the end, she only took the medicine for the queen to take, and did not call the imperial doctor.

"Or Niangniang canceled tomorrow morning's morning training."

The queen just shook her head, "I made an appointment to discuss the draft with Concubine Xiang and them tomorrow morning, how can I say that it will be canceled." It's just that I'm tired, so it's good to rest early. ”

"!" Xiyan still wanted to persuade her, but the queen couldn't listen to anything, so she walked into the screen and bathed in a wide robe.

Besides, this little Dezi arrived at the Taiwei Mansion in just half an hour, and the door of the Taiwei Mansion was locked early, and Xiao Dezi also detained the steward for a long time before he came to open the door.

In Xiaoyu Xuan, Li Shenlan came out of Taiwei's study and rushed over to take care of Bang Chun. said that it was to take care of it, and Bang Chun fell asleep when Li Shenlan came back, and he had just woken up at this time, and the shredded chicken porridge that Li Shenlan ordered someone to boil was still on the stove, so he could only feed Bang Chun some sugar water first and chat with him.

"Who?"

The sound of chatting was interrupted by the sound of the door slamming outside the door, it was Steward Wu.

"Second Miss, someone from the palace has been ordered to send something to Miss, and the master means that Miss always has to show up."

Li Shenlan didn't want to go, Bang Chun was so seriously injured, and he didn't take care of it personally for fear that they would not pay attention to Liuxia. Bang Chun also saw Li Shenlan's concerns, and opened his mouth weakly.

"Miss, go, the royal gift must be received by myself on my knees, this is the rule. The slave and maid lie down here, and the young lady can go with peace of mind. ”

Li Shenlan couldn't resist the rules, so she had to look back at Bang Chun step by step, and then followed Steward Wu to the living room.

"Father."

When the captain saw Li Shenlan coming, he smiled and nodded. Li Shenlan looked at the captain, as if nothing had happened to Li Mingyue.

"This is the Duke of Virtue who serves in front of the emperor." The lieutenant mentioned.

Xiao Dezi is a eunuch, and it stands to reason that Li Shenlan is the master and does not need to salute the slaves, but in the end, Li Shenlan is still a serious person.

Xiao Dezi felt it in his heart, but he couldn't stand it on this face.

"When the emperor returned to the palace, he was worried about the second lady, no, when he went back, he ordered the master to send pastries from the imperial dining room. However, the master had a lot of errands, and the emperor was too busy to open, so the master asked our family to come over. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Dezi diligently opened the food box. Isn't it, what is in the food box is the sugar steamed cheese that Li Shenlan ate in the carriage. Li Shenlan remembered that the emperor said that the daughters in the palace liked this dish at the time, and personally pushed the plate in front of him.

But in the final analysis, it was just a snack, and the emperor said to Gonggong Hou at that time, but he didn't think that he really took it to heart, and sent someone to send it when he returned to the palace.

Li Shenlan stretched out her hand to pick up a piece, but she didn't expect her tentacles to be warm, this pastry was actually freshly made and hurriedly sent over!

"Please thank the emperor for his grace on my behalf." I don't know why, Li Shenlan felt that there was a place in her heart that seemed to be covered with a layer of sugar, and as soon as the heart was hot, the sugar melted into the atrium, sweet and greasy.

"Second Miss is polite, the emperor is thinking about you, otherwise he wouldn't have let the servants send it to you after the key was placed at the palace gate."

Xiao Dezi is also diligent, and it is also said that which person in this palace is not the rudder when he sees the wind? The emperor attaches great importance to Li Shenlan, whether it is praising the dance at the farewell banquet, or sending pastries today, even the blind can see it. It's no wonder that Xiao Dezi wants to stammer the master in front of him, and if he can't get it, he will be a big pet master in the future.

"The emperor also said that if the second miss likes to eat, the servants will come to bring refreshments to the young lady every day in the future, and then change to a new style when she is tired, and she will not let the second miss get tired of eating."

"The emperor's grace, Shen Lan remembers it in his heart." When she said this, the smile on Li Shenlan's face was a little bigger.

But the captain behind him didn't know what he was thinking, or later Xiao Dezi opened his mouth to go back to the palace, so he came back to his senses and smiled and personally sent Xiao Dezi out of the house.

Li Shenlan didn't send Xiao Dezi, and it was also the captain who said that Li Shenlan should go back to rest earlier. It just so happened that Li Shenlan didn't like to deal with it very much, so she picked up the food box early and went back to take care of Bang Chun.

After returning to Xiaoyuxuan, the shredded chicken porridge cooked in the small kitchen was also ready, and Li Shenlan took the bowl while it was hot and sent it to Bang Chun.

"This is the pastry in the imperial dining room, I eat it sweet but not greasy, you can also taste it, just with the porridge, use more." Li Shenlan's voice was rubbing, and she personally fed Bang Chun with a bowl, which made Bang Chun busy and broke the rules.

Bang Chun is also a stubborn character, but Li Shenlan didn't follow this time, and she had to take care of Bang Chun in person with a straight face.

"You were injured for me, after all, I can't live with you, and I should take care of you."

"Miss ......" Bang Chun is still a little flattered, after all, where is this treatment that a slave should have.

"You really don't have to do this, it's the slave's duty to protect you. Besides, this royal pastry, where can a lowly person like a slave or maid use it, it is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Hearing this, Li Shenlan also ignored Bang Chun, just glanced at her, and then handed over a mouthful of porridge to block Bang Chun's mouth.

"There are no rules in me, no master and servant. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been in a different place a long time ago, and wouldn't it be natural to use some pastries? Besides, whatever was given to me, it is mine. Bang Chun, from now on, mine is yours! ”

"Miss! This is not compliant ......"

"Shut up, you." Li Shenlan gave Bang Chun a chance to reason, and stuffed the glutinous rice cake straight in. "Is it delicious?" Saying that, Li Shenlan ate the half-bitten glutinous rice cake again.

"Good...... Delicious. Bang Chun choked, and his eyes couldn't help but fall.

"Fool." Li Shenlan smiled helplessly, and gently wiped away the tears for Bangchun.

The master and servant in the house were warm, and from time to time there was a slightly crying laughter of Bang Chun, and no one paid attention to the figure that gradually disappeared by the window outside the house......

When Li Shenlan was approaching, she returned to her house from Bang Chun's room, and they were also busy for a day in Liuxia, Li Shenlan only asked people to prepare hot water, so she told them to go back to rest and disassemble the hair accessories alone.

In the mirror, Li Shenlan slowly picked off the hairpin that the Emperor gave him by the White Sun.

"The beauty of the lady's birth, wearing this pearl hairpin is even more beautiful."

The words that the emperor said when he wore a pearl hairpin on himself seemed to have a kind of power echoing in Li Shenlan's ears.

"Maybe the emperor isn't just for Li Mingjin?"

Li Shenlan looked at the mirror and muttered to herself, she knew that she was selected by the Taiwei because she looked like Li Mingjin, but the emperor's preference for her own fairness and integrity made Li Shenlan always have a beautiful imagination.

What shocked and made Li Shenlan even more shocked and happy was that the emperor really asked Xiao Dezi to send newly made pastries from the imperial dining room every day. The daily style is different, and sometimes even the emperor himself will send the meal that he thinks is delicious to Li Shenlan.

Bang Chun's body gradually healed, and the first thing he did after getting out of bed was to run to serve Li Shenlan. Li Shenlan was both happy and distressed in her heart, and all she could make up for was to give most of the pastries sent from the palace every day to Bang Chun.

Early this morning, Bang Chun entered the house early as usual to call Li Shenlan to get up, but this time he was still holding a piece of clothing in his hand.

"This dress doesn't look like mine."

Bang Chun is coiling Li Shenlan's hair, combing her hair every day these days, Li Shenlan will ask Bang Chun to put the pearl hairpin rewarded by the emperor on her head. Bang Chun is also happy for Li Shenlan, after all, she was so favored before she entered the palace, even the Jin Guifei did not have such treatment back then.

"The slave maid was about to tell the young lady that this cloak belonged to the Qin guard, and the slave and maid were not dressed that day, so the Qin guard put the cloak on the slave and maid. A few days ago, the slave maid was lying on the bed and forgot about it, and asked the young lady to hand it over to them the next time the palace people came, and return the slave and maid to the Qin guards. ”

"Qin guards?" Hearing this, Li Shenlan carefully searched for this character in her mind, "But the close guard who was ordered to save you that day?" ”

Bang Chun nodded, but he didn't know why his head was getting lower and lower, and his face was red. Li Shenlan only cared about the appearance of the Qin guards, but she didn't notice it.

"It's okay, I'll ask Xiao Dezi to take him back when he comes back tomorrow. They are all waiting in front of the palace, and they don't want to look up but look down. ”

Unexpectedly, the person who came on the second day was not Xiao Dezi, but Qin Guard. Because of the frequent arrivals in the palace, Taiwei directly sent people to Xiaoyuxuan, so when Li Shenlan saw the Qin guards coming in, she was startled.

"Why are you here today?" Most of the close guards in front of the emperor are close relatives of the official family, and they are comparable to Li Shenlan's identity. In addition, she is the life-saving benefactor of Bangchun, Li Shenlan naturally respects her more.

As soon as the Qin guards came in, they saluted Li Shenlan in a proper manner, and then looked back at Liuxia behind Li Shenlan.

"Today, Father-in-law De accompanied the emperor to the Queen Mother, and Father-in-law Hou also had something to do, so the emperor asked the servants to come and send it." As he spoke, the Qin guard handed the food box in his hand to Liuxia, but he glanced back and forth around the room several times.

Li Shenlan was also polite, and asked the Qin guards to sit down and order someone to serve tea.

"I heard that it was the Qin guards who saved Bang Chun that day, I have always wanted to thank but I couldn't find a chance, you just came over today, I am here to thank you for saving your life."

Qin Guards hurriedly said that they didn't dare, "Second Miss doesn't have to be so polite, this is also an order." The difference between Miss and my master and servant, if the second Miss doesn't dislike calling me Qin Ye, it's fine. ”

"How can there be any master and servant, but since you say so, if I call Qin Ye, we will make this friend." Li Shenlan said politely, but she also saw that Qin Ye was looking around back and forth, as if he was looking for something.

"What are the Qin guards looking for?"

Qin Ye didn't expect Li Shenlan to say it directly, and scratched the back of her head with some embarrassment and smiled.

"I didn't see Miss Bangchun, she was not lightly injured that day, and I don't know how she is doing now......"

Li Shenlan also guessed a few points, so she smiled and said: "You saved Bang Chun last time and left a cloak here, Bang Chun knew that someone from the palace was coming, so he went to the back room to get it, thinking about returning it to you."

As he was talking, Bang Chun walked out with a plate inside. Seeing Qin Ye sitting there drinking tea, he was also stunned, but he smiled in a second.

"Guard Qin, this is the cloak you borrowed from me that day, and I washed and ironed it early. It's just when you come this time, so take it back with you. ”

The Qin guards smiled a little unnaturally again, and when they took the tray, they shrank sharply as if they had touched a snake, but they were still quick to catch their clothes, so that they didn't fall to the ground.

Li Shenlan has never experienced the relationship between men and women, how can she understand this, and she only felt puzzled when she saw the two of them. But he still opened his mouth to break the embarrassing situation and told Bang Chun Qin Ye to ask about her physical condition.

"Lao Qin's guards are worried, Miss treats the slave and maid like a sister, and she has not allowed the slave and maid to get out of bed these days. If it weren't for the slaves, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out now. ”

Hearing this, Qin Ye showed gratitude on his face, turned around and saluted Li Shenlan again, "Thank you to the second lady for taking care of me, it's not too early, there is still something in the slave palace, so go back first." ”

Li Shenlan nodded, and asked Bang Chun to send Qin Ye out. The dinner in the evening was Li Shenlan talking to Bang Chun about Qin Ye, and Li Shenlan was talking to herself with a puzzled face.

"This Qin Ye is also inexplicable, you are my person, so naturally you have to take more care of you, what is he thanking me?"

While speaking, Li Shenlan stuffed another mouthful of glutinous rice meatballs. On the other hand, Bang Chun choked violently, but he still stayed in Xia and patted his back for a long time before he eased up.

The master and servant eat together, this is the rule set by Li Shenlan when she entered the mansion. At first, they refused, but then Li Shenlan couldn't threaten to not eat, so they sat at a table to eat. However, no one else usually comes, and if the Taiwei sees it, he will definitely talk to Li Shenlan again.

After dinner, Li Shenlan was eating snacks from the palace with a girl. Today is lotus root flour cinnamon sugar cake, and I like to eat several pieces in a row in the autumn harvest.

"Don't you dare to eat it again in the autumn, look at your belly, it's almost the size of a watermelon, and it won't break if you eat it again?" Li Shenlan always mingles with them in private, and there are no rules for speaking.

"Miss, you are still laughing at the slave, look at your face, it has become more and more round in the past two days!"

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a man's coughing voice startled five people. When I looked up, it turned out to be Steward Wu, who ran over to deliver the word on the order of the captain.

"The captain asked the second lady to prepare tomorrow morning, and tomorrow morning, the master will order someone to send the young lady to Lane 83."

Lane 83, where the second elder of the Song family lives now! Li Shenlan was surprised and delighted, she didn't expect Taiwei to arrange for her to meet her parents so soon, and she was happy that after eight months, she could finally see her father and mother again.

Even when Steward Wu left, Li Shenlan didn't know. I only knew that I didn't even care about the pastries, so I rushed straight into the bedroom to find the dress I would wear tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Li Shenlan got up early to freshen up. After all, this is the first time I have seen my father and mother after entering the Li Mansion, and I always have to dress up beautifully, so I can't let the second elder of the Song family worry. After packing up for more than an hour, the driver who was in charge of picking up Li Shenlan sent someone to ask several times, and Li Shenlan finally went out.

On the carriage, seeing that Bang Chun was also smiling, Li Shenlan couldn't help but say, "What are you happy about?"

"If the young lady is happy, the slave and maid will naturally be happy."

Bang Chun's answer also amused Li Shenlan, and the two talked and laughed, occasionally discussing the scenery along the way, which was so unpleasant.

In Xiaoyuxuan, because Li Shenlan only brought Bang Chun alone, the three of them stayed in the mansion and were idle and bored, so they simply sat in the courtyard basking in the sun and watching the spring scene. For the subordinates, when the master is not there, it can be said that it is the easiest time.

"It's rare that the third lady is not in the house, and we are also happy."

What Harvest Qiu said was also the truth, even if Li Shenlan was not there, Li Mingyue would always come to Xiaoyuxuan at every turn, and said that she was here to send things to Li Shenlan. In fact, this house was wandered around, that house was overturned, and after leaving, many things were turned into a mess, but it hurt these maids, and they had to hurry to clean up as before.

Zang Dong couldn't help nodding when he heard this, it can be seen that he has suffered from Li Mingyue's sins on weekdays.

"Don't say it, didn't the master order that the name of the third lady should not be mentioned casually in this mansion in the future."

"It's not, it's strange to say, I remember that when Miss didn't enter the house, Miss San was the most popular with the master, why did you throw it away when you said it was thrown into the house this time?"

"Whoever asked her to beat our young lady for her bad idea, she deserves it." Harvest Autumn has a straightforward temperament, and his speech is straightforward.

The two of you chatted word by word, but Liuxia next to him didn't talk much. It wasn't until he heard what Harvest Qiu said that he slowly opened his mouth.

"Anyway, our young lady still treats the third young lady sister, why didn't this old man say anything and didn't see her intercede for the third young lady?"

Shu Qiu looked at Liuxia's appearance, but he was puzzled, "It's obvious that she hurt our young lady, why did Miss intercede for her." Besides, if it weren't for Bang Chun this time, Miss wouldn't know what the situation would be. Why are you helping Miss Three to speak! ”

Liuxia was even more unconvinced, and when she heard this, she threw the freshly folded flower in her hand on the ground and said angrily: "You help Miss speak, but does Miss care about us?" Look at the time the young lady went out and didn't Bang Chun follow, and we still have our share in this close-up service? ”

After saying that, Liuxia didn't care about their reaction, stood up and flicked his sleeves and went back to the bedroom.

Zangdong was the least daring of the four, and when he saw that Liuxia suddenly lost his temper, he shrank behind Harvest Autumn with some fear.

"Hey, it's jealous that people are paying attention to Miss Bangchun. Let's ignore her in Zangdong, Miss loves Bangchun, and that's when someone else took her life to exchange her life. Liuxia was jealous, she went to block the knife for the young lady, I think she was the fastest runner at that time. ”

Shuqiu didn't speak politely, and he shouted coldly at the end, for fear that Liuxia in the house wouldn't hear it.

"Let's pick some flowers in a while, this season is just right for spring, let's pick it back for Miss to make Kodan."

After more than an hour, the carriage finally arrived at Lane 83.

Seeing Li Shenlan get out of the car, the doorman who was waiting at the door early hurriedly opened the wooden door and welcomed Li Shenlan in.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see rockery flowing water, pavilions and flower pavilions, birds and flowers. Although this environment is not as magnificent as Taiwei's Mansion, compared to the small thatched huts in the countryside back then, the current house is really many times better.

Li Shenlan was happy in her heart, but she was even more anxious to see the second elder, and her steps couldn't help but speed up and walk towards the main hall. The news that Li Shenlan was coming, Taiwei didn't tell the second elder of the Song family, so Li Shenlan didn't see the two of them when he entered the door and looked around.

Just as Li Shenlan was pacing back and forth in a hurry, she suddenly heard a long-lost call coming from the back room.

"Yuanyuan? It's really round! "It's Aunt Song," I heard that someone was coming outside when I was embroidering in the back room, and I looked like you, but I didn't expect it to be! Daddy! Come, daddy, and see...... Let's see who's coming. ”

Mother Song suddenly saw Li Shenlan, she was surprised and delighted, and she couldn't even say anything for a while. Uncle Song also ran out in a hurry when he heard the sound, and he didn't know what to say when he saw Li Shenlan. Only the three of them were left with tears in their eyes, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

"Daughter greets her father!" The tears of longing finally welled up in Li Shenlan's eyes the moment she knelt down. Li Shenlan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the second elder three times in a row, reluctant to get up for a long time.

It was still Song's mother who felt sorry for her daughter, so she ran forward in three steps and two steps to help Li Shenlan up, looking up and down.

"Good boy, how can you keep kneeling on the ground and get up quickly, let my mother see, my circle is getting brighter and brighter."

"Mother!"

Li Shenlan couldn't help her temperament anymore, hugged Mother Song in front of her, buried her head deep in Mother Song's neck, and greedily cherished the smell of her mother like a child.

Mother Song was the same, holding Li Shenlan tightly in her arms with both hands, as if if she loosened a little strength, the person in front of her would disappear.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time, before they reluctantly let go of each other. Mother Song only noticed at this time that Uncle Song on the side had been standing there stupidly for a long time, as if someone had pulled his soul and fixed there.

"You see, your father must have seen that you were overjoyed, what are you doing there, and you can't come and kiss Yuanyuan. When his daughter came back, she was stupid to be a father. ”

The mother and daughter were both laughing and crying at the moment, and this reunion scene appeared in Li Shenlan's mind countless times after parting. Now that it has finally come true, it is really exciting and difficult to calm down.

Li Shenlan called Uncle Song several times, which brought him back to reality from the surprise.

"Okay, good, just come back. I've been waiting for this day for so long, and now I'm finally getting my wish, and I'm stupid first. Uncle Song said and stepped forward and hugged Li Shenlan, and looked up and down for a long time, for fear that Li Shenlan would be hurt somewhere.

"Yuanyuan is rare to come back, you father and daughter are chatting well, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare, and make Yuanyuan's favorite hen stewed bamboo shoots."

Without waiting for Li Shenlan to speak, Song's mother ran out, Li Shenlan was afraid that Song's mother would not be able to do it, so she hurriedly asked Bang Chun to follow to help.

For a while, only the father and daughter were left in the house. In the end, it is a man, compared to Mother Song, Uncle Song quickly calmed down. led Li Shenlan to the back room and sat at the chess table.

"These days I have nothing to do with your mother, and I learned to play chess. It's rare for you to come, accompany me to fight a good game. ”

"Okay, it's all up to you."

As he spoke, a black piece landed steadily on the chessboard, and the white child followed closely behind.

"Is the captain good to you? Have you been wronged in the house? Steward Wu will send good ingredients every other month, and we will also ask him about you. It's just that it's good every time, and I haven't talked about it in detail, and I can't let go of your mother. ”

It was the white son falling again, and Uncle Song could see that the daughter in front of him was now everyone's beautiful appearance, and he couldn't see the atmosphere of the countryside at all.

"No matter what Taiwei says, he is also an important minister of a country, so he naturally speaks his word. I promised to enter the house very well for my daughter. The people in the house also recognized the identity of the second lady of their daughter, so naturally no one was embarrassed. ”

"That's good, so we can rest assured. Now that you are the daughter of a high-ranking official, seeing that you have reached the age of saying goodbye, with this identity, you will definitely be able to find a good husband. ”

Li Shenlan was stunned when she heard the movements in her hand, and said after a long time: "My daughter will enter the palace in another month......
