Chapter 507: The Draft
Unexpectedly, Lu Zirui really remembered her Lan Ke's name, so without giving the two guards a chance to speak, Shang Kelan nodded to Lu Zirui, her voice was as soft as before, and she smiled slightly: "Zirui, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if you and Aunt Su are in good health?" ”
Lu Zirui stared at her tightly, as if to confirm and seem to be suspicious: "Are you really, Miss Lan?" Why has even the appearance changed? ”
It's good to meet Lu Zirui, there are many people here, and it's not a way to stay longer, it's better to confess to him quickly.
So, Shang Kelan casually talked nonsense, pretending to be lost: "I don't know what's going on, I became like this when I fell asleep, Zirui, don't you know me anymore?" ”
Seeing the sad look in her eyes, Lu Zirui hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Miss Lan looks better like this, but I want to go to the imperial study first, Your Majesty, I have something to do." ”
For Lu Zirui, he didn't know much about the meaning of life and death, although Aunt Su had told her that Miss Lan was dead, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he didn't believe it.
The reason why he stopped when he entered the palace from here just now was because this woman gave him a familiar feeling.
After chatting for a short time, Shang Kelan was exactly the same as Lan Ke in the past, both in tone and demeanor, so Lu Zirui believed her in his heart, and Lu Zirui didn't care what her appearance would become.
Shang Kelan just wanted to go to see Jin Yantang, but after listening to Lu Zirui's words, a dark light flashed in her eyes, so she adjusted her mood and said to Lu Zirui in an almost pleading tone: "Zirui, can you take me into the palace?" I want to see my old people. ”
"Good! Miss Lan, when will you make me another peach blossom cake? ”
Lu Zirui happily agreed, and took Shang Kelan to the palace gate.
The two guards couldn't help but be stunned, and when they came back to their senses, they hurriedly chased after two steps and stopped: "Wait, Lu Shilang, this woman can't enter the palace, she doesn't have a palace card......."
Although Lu Zirui looks so foolish, he has a strange temper, and he is one of the most trusted ministers around Jin Yantang, and no one in the palace will want to offend him.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Lu Zirui, who had taken two steps towards the palace with Shang Kelan in front of him, stopped, and looked back at them suspiciously: "Then I, can I take her into the palace?" ”
He said this, but his eyes were fixed on them all the time, as if if these two dared to say that one could not, he would give them a bitter taste.
"No...... However, since this girl is your old friend, she must not be a bad person......"
Within a moment, the two of them changed their words when they came to their lips, and bowed their heads and retreated.
Seeing this, Lu Zirui didn't look at them anymore, retracted his gaze and walked towards the palace with Shang Kelan.
Looking at his familiar appearance, it seems that he often comes to the palace to find Jin Yantang.
When he was about to reach the cabinet, the scenery in the palace came into Shang Kelan's eyes, and it looked so familiar, and everything seemed to have changed.
But Lu Zirui can believe that she is the former Lan Ke, so when Jin Yantang sees her, will he believe that she is the former Shang Kelan?
For a while, she was a little uncertain in her heart, and her mood gradually became a little apprehensive.
The cabinet building was just two hundred meters ahead, Shang Kelan hesitated, suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Zirui's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Zirui, can you do me a favor?" Now only you can help me. ”
With Lu Zirui's status and status, with his letter of recommendation, he can also enter the palace draft.
At that time, there was no success in the draft, Jin Yantang did not recognize her, it was not too late for her to leave the palace, Shang Kelan had already thought about the way back, since the old nun knew the way to let herself come back, she would definitely be able to show her the way back.
Today, the sky was clear, Shang Kelan's voice fell into Lu Zirui's ears with the breeze, he looked back at Shang Kelan curiously and said, "What's the busy?" Is it really only me who can help? ”
Although she was a little embarrassed, Shang Kelan bit her lip and still said: "I want to enter the palace for the draft......"
"Draft? Oh yes, how can I help you? ”
I didn't expect Lu Zirui to agree so easily, and for a while, Shang Kelan couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at him in surprise.
But soon, Shang Kelan said, "You just need to write me a letter of recommendation." ”
"Letters of recommendation? Good. ”
After Lu Zirui repeated it, he nodded to Shang Kelan, indicating that he had written it down.
In fact, he doesn't know what the draft means, but it seems that everyone in the palace has been saying these two words recently, and he probably knows a little bit.
When he was in Tianxianglou before, Lu Zirui was not familiar with Jin Yantang, who called himself Ahai, although sometimes he and Shang Kelan were quite close, but Lu Zirui never thought about it in other aspects, so he didn't know the relationship between Shang Kelan and Jin Yantang.
Maybe it was because he didn't think much about it, so he was simple-minded, and he easily believed that Lan Ke was the dead Shang Kelan by feeling.
Seeing that he promised himself, Shang Kelan was really relieved, and couldn't help but thank Lu Zirui: "Thank you, Zirui, then you go to see Your Majesty first, I'll wait for you here." ”
"Okay, Miss Lan, you wait for me first."
Lu Zirui responded obediently, and stepped into the cabinet, and Shang Kelan went to stand quietly under the tree on the side, waiting for him to come out.
The imperial palace is divided into the inner palace and the outer palace, and the inner palace is also commonly known as the harem, which is the residence of the emperor and his concubines; The outer palace is divided into the cabinet and the outer cabinet, the cabinet deals with the government affairs, and the outer cabinet is a martial arts field, covering a very wide area, and there are also projects such as mounted archery.
Therefore, there was no one else around here except for the patrolling Praetorian Guards and the palace people passing by.
At this time, in the hall of the Cabinet.
Jin Yantang was wearing a long black gown with wide sleeves and gold trim, wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, his face was still cold, I saw him sitting on the dragon chair, and threw the table on the floor of the hall with an impatient expression, and said coldly: "I have only been empty in the harem for three years, and these people can't wait to send their daughters to the palace, and they are forced to die, is it really me who makes them too comfortable?" ”
In the first position on the left hand side of the main hall, Chen Shilang, who was wearing a scarlet embroidered elephant court uniform, got up helplessly, and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, the little prince is really too smart, but he has inadvertently offended many villains in the court, which has caused outrage, and many people hope that His Majesty can have another heir, so that the little prince can be more restrained, but ......."
Seeing that he was halfway through his words, Jin Yantang couldn't help frowning, looked at him and said, "But what? ”
Chen Shilang chuckled lightly, bent down and saluted; "But who let His Majesty be in the supreme position, and not have a woman by his side? I believe that those ministers who are forced by His Majesty to death are also selfish, after all, no one can say for sure what is going on in this palace, what if one day the show girl they sent into the palace happens to be favored by His Majesty and becomes the second concubine? ”
