Lin Shuyao leaned against the wall and tilted his head to look, only to see He Ling covering his face opposite Xu Qin. Xu Qin is the lord of the first house. From the concubine position of the fourth rank, he was accompanied by four palace maids and two eunuchs, while He Ling, who was the seventh grade, only brought one palace maid with him. He Ling covered his red and swollen face and bowed his head silently, Xu Qin snorted coldly and said: "It's just a seven-grade treasure forest, it was just a thing that was kicked wherever people wanted to go." I dare to stand in the way of this palace today, and I don't see if you are good enough. ”

It was Cui'er who traveled with He Ling, and because of Xu Qin's anger, Cui'er had already knelt down as He Ling's palace maid. Cui'er looked at the arrogant and domineering Xu Qin, and quietly looked up at the hands that shook He Ling's slap and wore armor, and couldn't help but be distracted, if he was appreciated by the emperor...

"It's the concubine's fault, the concubine knows it's wrong, please ask Concubine Xu to forgive her sins." He Ling bowed, his face was red and swollen, but He Ling had no expression and only lowered his eyes.

"Heh, look at it, it's worthy of He Baolin. You slaves learn a little bit, and when you know that you are wrong, you quickly admit your mistakes. A generous person like this palace will naturally forgive. Xu Qin saw He Ling's soft mocking smile, and he was originally in a bad mood, just when He Ling hit the muzzle of the gun, he sprinkled all his brains on He Ling.

"In that case, how about you kneel here and think about it?" Xu Qin saw that there were not many people coming and going in this palace road, so she would not be discovered if she would be here.

"Niangniang..."He Ling gasped, if he knelt down today, the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem would inevitably oppress him, if he didn't kneel, Xu Qin's anger could not be eliminated, and he thought of a more ruthless way to punish himself. I'm thinking about enduring it for a while, and then I'm just looking for revenge in the future... But I heard a female voice.

"Concubine Xu, yo, what's wrong?" Lin Shuyao couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked in a contrived voice. After coming out from behind the palace gate, he looked at He Ling, whose face was slightly raised, and said to Xu Qin twice: "Such a big anger? ”

"What are you?" When Xu Qin saw Lin Shuyao, he was extremely disgusted and disliked in his heart. Listening to Lin Shuyao's contrived voice, he felt sick in his heart, and looked at Lin Shuyao coldly.

"Concubine... The concubine is the emperor's concubine and your sister. The concubine entered the palace late, isn't it an exaggeration to call you a sister? This He Baolin is also our sister, how can my sister be willing to let Sister Baolin kneel here? Lin Shuyao raised his eyes and looked at Xu Qin, who was holding back himself.

"You heard it all, and you came out to ask what happened to this palace?" Xu Qin gritted his teeth and approached Lin Shuyao, and remembered that Lin Shuyao had coincidentally fallen on his face before, and was extremely unhappy, and was about to stretch out his hand to give Lin Shuyao a slap. Lin Shuyao quickly grabbed Xu Qin's hand and said, "Concubine Xu, this is the harem, and there are eyes and ears everywhere. It's better not to be too high-profile, I don't know that day my sister told the concubine that the concubine is very good at being a person. If the concubine advised you today, would you listen? After that, Lin Shuyao squeezed Xu Qin's hand fiercely, Lin Shuyao's hand strength was much greater than Xu Qin's, Xu Qin couldn't resist and had to say dying: "This palace has been taught." ”

Lin Shujiao let go of Xu Qin's hand, Xu Qin took out his sleeve and saw that his wrist was already red, and the place where he was pinched was white. Xu Qin took a deep breath before throwing off his sleeves and leaving.

After Xu Qin took the people away, Lin Shuyao looked at He Ling. The side of He Ling's face that was beaten was swollen high, and the five distinct palms were imprinted on his face. It can be seen how hard Xu Qin shook this slap, He Ling bent down and saluted Lin Shuyao to thank him.

Lin Shuyao waved his hand and said, "You came back earlier, your face is swollen and it hurts to speak." ”

He Ling only hated Xu Qin's slap in his heart for breaking his plan, and his face was swollen and he couldn't sing anymore. I don't know how long I have to wait if I miss this cherry blossom viewing party! He Ling raised his head again and saluted Lin Shujiao to thank him, and then returned to Ning Xuan Pavilion by himself.

Lin Shuyao looked at He Ling's back and remembered the confrontation with Xu Qin just now. I definitely can't go to Zhong Cui Palace anymore, but I can't pass the news to Li Ruoyi. After returning to the Pavilion, Lin Shuyao was anxious and sent Chunsheng to go once, and Chunsheng came back and shook his head and said that he couldn't even enter the door of Zhongcui Palace. He also sent Qian to the palace maid who was born in the face, and was also told that he was not allowed to enter the Zhongcui Palace.

Lin Shuyao watched that the Pavilion was also locked, and his heart was also desperate. I have done my best, sighing, how the battle for favor tomorrow will end depends on luck and creation.

In the Ning Xuan Pavilion, He Ling took some money and asked Jing Yun to ask for a small piece of ice from the Internal Affairs Office. He Ling smashed it with a small hammer and wrapped the crushed ice with a silk handkerchief and put it on his swollen face. He Ling looked at Cui'er who was wiping the tables and chairs in the corner, and always felt that there was something strange about Cui'er, but he couldn't say it. Thinking that Cui'er is under his own hands, there shouldn't be any big mess. can't turn the sky over, He Ling thought of Lin Shuyao, who helped him today.

Concubine Xu has always been unaccustomed to Lin Shuyao, and it stands to reason that Lin Shuyao can't avoid her. even helped himself speak, Xu Qin faced himself with his back to Lin Shuyao. After he was beaten, he saw the exposed skirt corners, and he was embarrassed to be peeped at, but he didn't expect Lin Shuyao to speak for himself. Thinking of this, He Ling smiled, and recalled that the corner of the palace gate of that road seemed to be... Hehuan Palace? Could it be that Lin Shuyao and Concubine Rou are getting closer?

"Master, the slave maid gave you hot water, take a bath and then sleep." Jing Yun saw that He Ling seemed to be thinking about something, and was afraid that He Ling was thinking about being slapped by Xu Qin.

"Well, I have a heart." He Ling put on a smiling face and got up to let Jingyun and Cui'er wait for them to change their clothes.

He Ling thought about it, whether he owed Lin Shuyao a favor. If you can help Lin Shuyao in the future, you should do your best to help her, He Ling let out a long sigh of relief. If you miss this opportunity, you will definitely be despised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs... But I practice hard, and when the lotus flowers of Ning Xuange bloom, I sing songs to attract the emperor, and it's not comfortable to listen to the music across the water... This will surely be favored.

In the side hall of Zhongcui Palace, Li Ruoyi is practicing pipa. Thinking about the flower-viewing banquet on the second day, and thinking of the title given to him by the emperor, I couldn't help but feel ripples in my heart.

"Master, you will definitely be able to win the emperor's favor tomorrow!" Mo'er wiped the table with a smile and turned back to Li Ruoyi and said.

"There are so many talented concubines in the harem, how do you know that the emperor must take a fancy to this concubine." Although Li Ruoyi said so, she knew in her heart that there should be no one in her pipa harem who played better than herself.

"The slave doesn't know the rhythm of music, and they think the master's pipa is good." Mo'er looked at Li Ruoyi with a serious face.

Li Ruoyi wiped her rosewood pipa, thinking of the pipa sent by the Internal Affairs Office, and thinking of using that pipa in her heart. Li Ruoyi asked Mo'er to go to the treasury to take the pipa to the inner room, and she could take it to the flower feast tomorrow.

Mo'er couldn't see clearly from the darkness, so he took a pipa from the storeroom, and didn't look carefully which pipa it was. After returning to the inner room, Mo'er saw that Li Ruoyi had already unloaded the hairpin, so she hurriedly put the pipa into the wooden box. went over to help Li Ruoyi unload the hairpin, Li Ruoyi looked at Mo'er with a smile.

Because of the flower-viewing banquet on the second day, Lin Shuyao was still thinking about Li Ruoyi's affairs and became anxious. didn't sleep well, and he woke up Chunsheng who was keeping vigil on the side of him after tossing and turning in bed.

"Master, didn't you sleep?" Chunsheng asked tentatively in a low voice.

Lin Shuyao didn't want Chunsheng to worry, so he had to lie quietly without a sound, sleepless all night.
