233 Chapter 226 Thoughts

Li Yanxu looked at Xiao Ruo intently, and the contradiction in his eyes became thicker and thicker as time passed. It's just that what responded to him was still Xiao Ruo's decisive and resolute face.

Today, Jiang Ruyue summoned Jiang Qinghua to the palace, which was just a temporary act. Li Yanxu naturally couldn't make extremely thoughtful arrangements for entering the palace this time. Being able to find Xiao Ruo is already a blessing for him. If Xiao Ruo agreed to leave with him, he would naturally try his best to take care of the matter, but Xiao Ruo's resistance was obvious. knocked her personal maid unconscious, and then forcibly took her away, he couldn't do it. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that he has already been discovered before he sends Xiao Ruo to the carriage. Unless he was foolproof, he couldn't afford to take another risk.

The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer warned Li Yanxu that he had to make a decision immediately. Is it to take the risk of forcibly taking Xiao Ruo out of the palace, or let Xiao Ruo continue to stay in the palace? No matter which path it is, it's not what Li Yanxu wants to do, because it's all such an adventure.

"Auntie, what do you tell the slave to do?" At the moment when Xiao'er pushed open the door, Li Yanxu jumped onto the beam.

"The medicine I just took is really bitter. To this day, I still have that taste in my mouth. The tea in the kettle is already cold, you can help me change the pot to a hot one to dilute the taste of the decoction. Xiao Ruo smiled and looked at Xiao'er as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, auntie, wait a minute." With that, Xiao'er turned around and held the kettle from the table in her hand and left Xiao Ruo's room.

Li Yanxu saw that the people had left and stood on the ground again. Let him leave like this, he is not reconciled. But let Xiao Ruo continue to stay in the palace like this, he didn't feel at ease.

"Hurry up and leave, or the queen will suspect you if she can't find your people. Xiao'er will be back soon, if you don't leave, I'm afraid that she will find out when the time comes, and I can't tell! Xiao Ruo's face was full of pleading.

"You ......" Li Yanxu wanted to ask again, whether Xiao Ruo really didn't want to leave. Just as the words came to his mouth, his heart had already clearly told him Xiao Ruo's answer. Suddenly, a feeling of powerlessness surrounded his heart, and Li Yanxu said helplessly: "That's it, since you must stay here, then you must be careful in everything." Just now I was on the beam, and I saw that the little girl named Le'er was smart, and you tried to find a way to take her as your confidant. If you encounter any trouble, let her come to me in person, and I will find a way to enter the palace to save you. ”

Li Yanxu's thoughts do coincide with Xiao Ruo's thoughts. If a person has thoughts in his heart, it will naturally become her weakness. Le'er wants power, wants to be high, wants to make her mother not bullied, and wants to live a good life, all of this has naturally become a place where Xiaoruo can take advantage of it.

"I see, if I'm in trouble, I'll have someone go to you." Xiao Ruo nodded, she couldn't leave, but she wouldn't refuse her friend's help. Of course, all this is under the condition of ensuring that it will not affect others.

Li Yanxu looked at Xiao Ruo deeply for a long time, and after nodding solemnly, he directly lifted his breath and walked towards the outside of the house. Calculating the time, it has been a long time since he left, maybe the queen is already sending someone to look for him at this moment. He also had to come up with a convincing reason, and he would never let people know that he had seen Xiao Ruo.

Seeing that Li Yanxu had left, Xiao Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Ruo closed her eyes, lay down on the bed with peace of mind, and thought carefully.

Le'er has been in the palace since she was a child, and if there are any secrets in the palace, she will naturally know more than others. Looking at the way she treats people, she is also a smart person who can speak well, presumably her popularity in this Lanxiao Palace should not be bad. If she can be taken as her right-hand man, then she should be able to do things more effectively.

It's just that she is still clinging to Xie Danniang now, only Xie Danniang is favored, and her status is becoming more and more stable, Le'er may follow her desperately and help her do things. It's just that if you want to pass the news to Li Yanxu, you still have to wait until Le'er completely becomes her person before you can entrust such a thing to her.

"Auntie, Sister Le'er is here with candied fruit, does Auntie want to drink some water or eat some candied fruit first?" Xiao'er carried the kettle with a smile on her face and walked into the room, with the thoughtful girl behind her.

"Listen to Xiao'er's sister say that my aunt's mouth is bitter and she can't sleep peacefully. There was nothing to do in the kitchen, so the slave came again with the preserves. Le'er said with a smile.

"Let's drink some water first! The medicine was so bitter that it dispelled my sleepiness. It's good if you come, the two of you can sit down and talk to me together, and it will save me from lying on my stomach all day and getting sick. After Xiao'er waited for Xiao Ruo to drink some water, Xiao Ruo beckoned the two of them to move their chairs and sit on the edge of the bed.

"Auntie eat some more candied fruit, this is a good thing that the emperor rewarded the imperial concubine. Niangniang was pregnant in her womb, and she couldn't see such a sweet and greasy thing, so she was divided by the steward of the small kitchen and rewarded to the people who were waiting below. The slave and maid have been working there for a long time, and the relationship with the steward is better, so naturally they will have more. Aunt tasted it, do you like this taste? With that, Le'er opened the jar where the candied fruit was stored and handed it to Xiao Ruo.

Xiao Ruo followed his words, reached out and twisted one and put it in his mouth. The candied fruit is indeed very delicious, although it is candied fruit, but it is not too sweet. How is it also the food that Lan Shikang gave to Xie Danniang, it is naturally a good thing.

"The small kitchen is the place with the most oil and water, and Miss Le'er can get the eyes of Steward Xu again, stay there, and there will definitely be a chance to get ahead in the future." Xiao Ruo seemed to be enjoying the taste of candied fruit, and said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Although the kitchenette is good, what you want to eat and drink, it is naturally convenient. But after all, where is far away from the master, he is busy on weekdays, he is gray all day long, he looks dirty and greasy, even if he is lucky enough to meet the master, he is afraid that he will be disliked. Besides, the highest seat in the small kitchen is the steward Xu. Although she was just a cook in the past, she was also the one sent by Concubine Shu from her after all. No matter how capable the slave is, is it possible that she can still go beyond the Xu Steward? Seeing Xiao Ruo say such things, Le'er naturally had the intention to express her thoughts.

"In the small kitchen, Xu is not able to surpass the manager. Maybe one day the imperial concubine will want to arrange Steward Xu to do other things, look at your cleverness, and when the time comes, maybe it will be your turn to sit on that one! Then your mother and you will really have no worries about food and clothing. Xiao Ruo boasted about the fun, but she was also trying how deep the water she was about to enter was.

Le'er showed disdain in her eyes and said, "That son, no matter how big he is, is just a small kitchen, and it is just an inconspicuous corner of Lanxiao Palace. Let's not talk about whether it is the turn to get the slave or the maid, even if it is really at that time, the slave and the maid really sit in that seat, and they still have to act according to the eyes of people, where is it so comfortable to stay by the master's side? She hopes that one day she can become the personal maid of the imperial concubine. When the time comes, even if it is Steward Xu, he will have to act according to her eyes. With the imperial concubine Niangniang as a backer, she and her mother will never be bullied again.

Xiao Ruo didn't expect that she just wanted to test the depth of the water, but she found that the little girl in front of her didn't even care about the position of the small kitchen manager. Ambition is sometimes a good thing, but it also depends on whether the person is worthy of such ambition. Therefore, when it comes to ambition, we must know how capable we are, and how much we can do it.

"There are only three of us here, you two are joking with me, I just want to ask Miss Shangle'er a sentence 'Serve the master, although you don't need to look at the eyes of that person, it is inevitable that the master will still be angry.' Miss Le'er Fangling, she never thought that she could serve the emperor and have a place in this harem? "Xiao Ruo is tempting, if this person has the mind to sleep on the dragon couch, then it can't help her at all. Maybe one day, it will become a stumbling block for her.

Le'er looked a little surprised on her face, she didn't expect Xiao Ruo to say such a thing at all. Le'er was a little shy, but also a little obviously repulsed, and said: "The emperor doesn't like to come to the harem very much, except for the queen mother in the palace, the queen is the most favored." Among the other concubines, those who are far better than the two abound. But the emperor didn't mean to look at them at all. Concubines who have no heirs, in the end, are not as good as those palace maids and eunuchs. If the slave maid has such a mind, I am afraid that in this harem, there will be no place for slaves and maids for a long time, and even if the slave and maid die, I don't know who harmed them. ”

Xiao Ruo nodded slightly, her face did not change, and she said with a faint smile: "It's hard for you to think clearly." If you can serve your master well and become a powerful person by your master's side, no one will dare to look at you anymore. It's just that Miss Le'er wants to serve by the side of the imperial concubine? "As long as Le'er doesn't put her mind on Lan Shikang, it won't cause this disaster to be brought to her.

Le'er does have such a thought in her heart, but in front of Xiao Ruo, how can she talk to her and want to be on an equal footing with her? I saw Le'er shake her head and said, "Auntie, do you know what the origin of the two aunts around the imperial concubine is Qianyu and Yu?" They are all the dowry girls of the imperial concubine, and their love is extraordinary. The slave didn't dare to think that she could work with them. ”

In fact, what she said was indeed the truth, before Xiao Ruo didn't come, which one didn't look at the faces of the two of them? Who dares to come to the side of the imperial concubine to serve? I'm afraid that before the person arrives at Niangniang's side, he has already been dragged down by the eunuch and punished by the two of them.
