After the little eunuch left, Lu Huiling was still sitting on the high hall with a blank face, playing with the hazelnuts that were newly offered today.

Hazelnuts are not common in Beijing, and every prefecture has to send high-quality hazelnuts to the palace every year, and the rest are brought by merchants when they enter Beijing.

The price of hazelnuts soared, and only some merchants and eunuchs could buy and try it.

Lu Huiling used to love this kind of hazelnut very much, if the emperor rewarded Lu Xiangfu with some high-quality hazelnuts, Lu Huiling would be the first to be ecstatic, Qi Bingyu also heard that Lu Huiling loves to eat hazelnuts, and today it happened to be a new hazelnut, Qi Bingyu asked He Gonggong to send someone to send it as soon as possible.

But the fresh hazelnuts sent today, Lu Huiling didn't have the slightest intention of enjoying them, he took a few handfuls in his hand and played with them, and when he was tired of playing, he casually threw them into the pond in the courtyard to disturb the fish inside.

Aunt Xu Lan followed behind and obeyed the dispatch, but Lu Huiling was reluctant to talk to her. Lu Huiling knew that Xu Lan was the palace maid who stayed in Qianning Palace before the death of the imperial aunt, and Qi Bingyu had always regarded herself as the imperial aunt, but Lu Huiling didn't care, she still loved Qi Jingqin in her heart, Rao had repeatedly hit the wall, but she had always loved her.

The palace people in Minghua Hall panicked when they saw Ming Concubine Niangniang teasing the fish with hazelnuts, this is a royal gift, Rao is Concubine Mei Niangniang has to hold it, this new Ming Concubine Niangniang actually used it to tease the fish? But none of them dared to step forward to dissuade them.

Because Lu Huiling executed two palace maids not long after he entered Minghua Hall early this morning, all the palace maids and eunuchs in Minghua Hall were very in awe of Lu Huiling, and Aunt Xu Lan, who followed on the side, was even more frightened, for fear that she would do something wrong to make this young Ming Concubine Niangniang angry, and accidentally dropped her head to the ground.

Lu Huiling has been silent today, no one knows what she is thinking, she walked to the pond with a saucer, there has been a koi with living water, since Empress Mingxian entered the imperial mausoleum, Minghua Hall was built, and the first thing to move in was these koi.

Lu Huiling looked at these koi fish, swimming freely in the water, seemingly free and carefree, but they could only be imprisoned in this small pool.

The koi in the pool seemed to see this young and beautiful concubine, her face was not shocked, and her eyebrows and eyes were only a touch of indifferent sadness.

Lu Huiling rarely showed a smile, took a few hazelnuts and peeled them off the shell and threw them to eat, and a few koi fish ate happily and danced happily. Although Xu Lan was afraid of Lu Huiling, it was obvious that she rarely laughed, and she also felt very kind, and Empress Mingxian was also an extremely gentle woman before her illness.

But the happiness didn't last long, and Lu Huiling sat in the main hall of Minghua Hall after dinner, with a cold face and no longer spoke.

After the eunuch left, she kept playing with the royal tribute hazelnut in her hand.

Although today is the day when she became a concubine, Concubine Mei was promoted to Concubine Mei, her position is above the concubines in the harem, and she has the power to run the harem in her hands.

"Concubine Ming." Aunt Xu Lan cautiously asked tentatively, "After dinner, I'm going to go and greet Concubine Mei." Today, Concubine Mei was promoted, and all the concubines in the palace went. When are you leaving? The slave and maid will go and prepare. ”

Of course, Lu Huiling knew that Concubine Mei was promoted, and the eunuch Fang Cai also mentioned it, saying that the emperor had newly promoted Concubine Mei today, so he went to Yichun Hall to stay overnight.

She naturally knew.

But since Lu Huiling entered the palace, he has not faced Concubine Mei directly, and has been serving by the emperor's side since he entered the palace as a female official, but he doesn't need to do anything, just watch the emperor from the sidelines, follow from morning to night, and then record what happened to the king in a day.

Although the work is easy, it does need to be followed all day long, and the emperor is reluctant to see Concubine Mei, so naturally she can't see it.

The former Concubine Mei Niangniang, when she wants to see her again today, she will be commensurate with sisters.

Lu Huiling said that it was false not to be nervous, but she didn't show it, she kept playing with the hazelnut in her hand, and as soon as she used her strength, she crushed the shell of the hazelnut.

Lu Huiling turned his eyes to look at the hazelnut in his hand and stared at it without saying a word.

Aunt Xu Lan was very scared, she was worried that Concubine Ming would not be able to arrive at Yichun Hall in time, and she would be targeted by all the concubines in the future.

"Mother." Xu Lan said again, "If you don't go, it'll be too late." ”

Lu Huiling thought that he still needed to stay in the palace for a long time, maybe just a few years, maybe a lifetime, how could he have avoided Concubine Mei all the time, it seemed unlikely.

Thinking so, Lu Huiling let go of the hazelnuts in his hand, put them all on the table, clapped his hands and stood up, looked ahead, and said indifferently as if relieved: "Then let's go." ”

Sooner or later, she is also going to see her, at this time she is in full bloom, presumably Concubine Mei does not dare to do anything to herself.

Hearing Concubine Ming say this, Aunt Xu Lan was so happy that she hurriedly agreed: "Hey! Niangniang, wait a minute, the temperature is low at night, the wind is strong, the slave and maid prepare a blanket for you, and cover your legs on the sedan chair. ”

Lu Huiling didn't speak, Aunt Xu Lan knew that the new Ming Concubine in front of her was unwilling to deal with people, and she didn't say twenty words in Minghua Hall today.

But seeing that Lu Huiling did not object, Aunt Xu Lan hurried to go.

After the soft sedan was ready, Aunt Xu Lan put a shawl on Concubine Ming, and helped her get on the soft sedan chair.

Lu Huiling sat on the soft sedan chair, and several eunuchs carried the soft sedan chair and staggered towards the Yichun Palace.

Lu Huiling looked at the scenery on both sides indifferently.

She sat above all the people, much above them. On the way, the palace people saw Concubine Ming Niangniang coming from afar, and heard the news that she was not pleasing to the eye today, and the two palace maids immediately ordered the cane to be killed, and hurriedly lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.

Lu Huiling has never seen the imperial city at night, and he follows Qi Bingyu on weekdays, and he reviews the folds all night, so he doesn't have time to go out for a walk at all.

I have long heard that the imperial garden in the imperial city has the most beautiful scenery, and now I see that it is true.

The autumn maple leaves are slowly falling down, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers fills the garden, and the pond in the imperial garden is not alarmed, and there are many orange-red maple leaves floating.

Lu Huiling's eyes were full of surprise, but the surface was still as calm as pond water.

Arrived at the Imperial Garden, and then walked for a while to the Yichun Palace, outside the hall stood many concubines and concubines of honor guards of the palace maids, as soon as they saw the sedan chair of the Ming Concubine Niangniang coming, they quickly knelt down and saluted: "Ming Concubine Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Lu Huiling didn't want to pay attention to it, and with the support of Aunt Xu Lan, everyone passed by and walked straight in.

Rong Fu, who was waiting in the palace of Yichun Palace, saw Lu Huiling, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face: "Concubine Ming has arrived, and the slave has lost his welcome." I also hope that Concubine Ming will wait for a while, and the slave will go in and report. ”

Lu Huiling glanced at him, still not wanting to speak.

Aunt Xu Lan, who was holding her, hurriedly said: "Please also ask Rongfu father-in-law to hurry up, the autumn night is cool, and the mother is thin and can't afford it." ”

Rong Fu answered, and then lifted the thick curtain outside the palace and entered.
