Chapter 298: You Come and I Go
The two walked to the fork in the road and parted again. A battle that requires the emperor's favor to be waged. How long does it take to get started?
Nalan Lan'er and Cailian continued to walk around the courtyard, chatting about some things from time to time, and collecting news from outside had been handled by Wan'er, and Cailian knew even less.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't sent a reliable palace maid to Yun Ziqing's palace, and she didn't take this matter to heart, first, she had little contact with Yun Ziqing now, so she wouldn't let anyone with a heart see it. The second is that Yun Ziqing's grade is not high, and no one wants to be ruthless to her.
Now that I think about it, this was a mistake, she was almost disfigured last time, how can such a big thing be negligent, there have been so many things lately that she has been negligent.
Yun Ziqing's actions just now were also obvious, and she looked very energetic, but she suddenly said that she was sleepy and wanted to go back to the palace to rest. She tilted her head to Cai Lian and ordered. "Later, I will find a palace maid with a vibrant eye in the palace, bring a few boxes of pastries to Yaxin Palace, and by the way, ask the palace maids around Yun Guiren about the current situation."
Cai Lian nodded knowingly, this Yun Guiren is also unlucky, and someone poisoned him when he just agreed, and his life was almost ruined.
Not long after, after the eldest prince finished practicing calligraphy, he ran out of the dormitory, and pulled Nalan Lan'er to play wildly, proposing to see the plum blossoms.
At this time, Lamei is still just a flower bone, and it will bloom when it is colder, since the eldest prince asked to go, Nalan Lan'er has no major event, so she naturally agreed.
led the eldest prince to follow Wan'er, followed by seven or eight minions, and went out of the palace gate.
Cai Lian hurriedly went down to work on the pastries, and then picked out a few palace maids who few people knew among some palace maids, and after carefully explaining them, she was asked to carry the food box from Huayan Palace to Yaxin Palace.
Everyone has their own plans to do it, everyone is quietly going on, and every figure in this palace goes back and forth, you don't know what she's sitting on.
After the palace maid came to Yaxin Palace, the slave guarding the door went in to report, Yun Ziqing painted by herself to pass the time, and suddenly heard that the palace maid of Huayan Palace asked to see her, so she put down the brush and one word: "Xuan"
After the palace maids came in, Yu Guang secretly glanced at those palace maids, and they were all gathered together, this is too unacceptable, and they have to be pulled out for punishment!
But she didn't dare to speak, she could only pretend not to squint and follow the reported minion inside, and as soon as she saw the master who looked like a water spirit and was wearing a noble robe, she saluted. "Slaves and maids see nobles."
"Get up." Yun Ziqing aimed her gaze at the food box in the palace maid's hand.
She hurriedly presented the food box and said, "This is some snacks given to the nobles by the slave master, saying that they will relieve the nobles' hunger." ”
Yun Ziqing looked at Qing He, Qing He stepped forward to take it, put it on the table and opened it, a burst of sweetness came to him, and he wanted to eat it when he smelled it.
There was already a pair of chopsticks in the food box, Yun Ziqing stepped forward and picked up one of the chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, for a moment, she believed that this palace maid who had never seen it in her eyes was from Huayan Palace.
After confirming, Yun Ziqing began to smile, "The pastries are delicious, thank you for your master." ”
The palace maid seemed to be a little speechless, Yun Ziqing took her inside, and Aoba guarded outside.
Yun Ziqing asked, "But what did Sister Guifei ask you to bring?" ”
The palace maid bowed and continued. "The master asks the nobleman about the recent situation, what he has found or what is annoying."
After all, this palace maid is an eye, and Yun Ziqing is not sure, so she doesn't want to tell her that information. Qing He seemed to know her master's concerns, and stepped forward to give her an idea in her ear.
"Master, relying on the three of us alone, it is a little difficult to find the palace maid without manpower, since the concubine Niangniang has taken the initiative to propose, let's let the concubine Niangniang help find it together, the concubine is powerful, and it is easier than us to find a palace maid. Write the information and portrait together and send it over, just seal it on the way. ”
The master and servant bit the whisper for a while, and the palace maid didn't dare to make a mistake, so she stood quietly not far away.
In the end, Qing He said to the palace maid, "Sister, wait here for a while, and the master will prepare something and go back." ”
Yun Ziqing opened the portrait and wrote a few words underneath.
Then after the words were dry, the roll was closed and the dense was marked on the top with a brush at the opening of the writing, Qinghe took it and emptied the food box, put the portrait in it and handed it to the palace maid, "This is a painting painted by our little master for Niangniang, my sister should remember not to take shortcuts on the way back, and go around farther before returning to Huayan Palace." ”
The palace maid was also a clever person, and knew that there must be something coming from this, so she nodded and responded.
He took the empty brocade box and saluted Yun Guiren again and retreated, and walked back normally when he went out of the palace gate, but he turned left and right, not the way he came, and disappeared all of a sudden.
Cai Lian waited for the palace maid to come back in the hall, and after she came back, she told the situation of Yaxin Palace as it was, and Cai Lian frowned when she heard it.
What's going on with this Yaxin Palace? You have to wait until the mother comes back to make a decision.
The palace maid of Huayan Palace can be said to have surrendered to Nalan Lan'er, followed by the biggest master of the harem, and her personality is still so gentle, and she is favored and good to her slaves.
Unless the Queen Mother finds them and threatens them, they will waver in their determination. According to the master's instructions, Cailian tried her best to find those who had passed away and had no palace maids at home, so as to reduce the risk.
This palace maid was very reliable, and after completing her task, she quietly returned to her place and stood, as if she had not gone anywhere.
Cai Lian secretly remembered that useful people should be brought over.
By the time Nalan Lan'er came back from outside with the eldest prince, Cailian had already finished the portrait and everything.
Although I didn't see Lamei, I seemed to be in a cheerful mood after going out and coming back.
Cai Lian greeted the master with a smile at the door and returned to the palace. "The princess is back, and the servant is going to prepare dinner."
Wan'er said. "Niangniang, let's go and prepare?"
"It's okay, dinner has always been prepared by Wan'er." Nalan Lan'er smiled and nodded.
Before the man had gone away, the father-in-law at the door came to report.
Nalan Lan'er and the eldest prince all went out to greet each other, and Grandpa Sun personally came here to salute the prince with a smile and a smile.
"The slave has seen the mother and the eldest prince."
The eldest prince just stared at Grandpa Sun with his eyes and didn't answer, Nalan Lan'er took the eldest prince by the hand, but replied gently, "Grandpa Sun is polite." ”
Father-in-law Sun was also unambiguous, and reported directly, "Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor came to Huayan Palace for dinner tonight, and the slave was specially ordered to report in advance. ”
The eldest prince suddenly looked up at Nalan Lan'er and said happily, "Mother concubine, my father is finally going to dine with us!" ”
Looking at the joy of the eldest prince, Nalan Lan'er also felt happy from the bottom of her heart. She reached out and touched the top of the eldest prince's head.
A scene of the integration of mother and son, the grandfather who watched it was happy for the eldest prince, this matter must go back to the emperor to make it clear, this lady really treats the eldest prince as her own son, and I am afraid that it will be a play on the spot if I change it to another concubine!
Cailian sent her grandfather away, and she was infected by the mood of Nalan Lan'er and the eldest prince, and she also felt very happy. But the matter still has to be announced, Cai Lian came to Nalan Lan'er's side and whispered. "Niangniang, the pastry has been delivered, and the noble man has returned a painting."
Nalan Lan'er's expression remained unchanged: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see it tonight, you hide the painting more carefully, and look at it in the palace tomorrow." ”
Cai Lian answered and walked into the palace with normal steps. If you put it on the desk, mix it in a more hidden place, and only Niang Niang can come here if you want to come here, and Niang Niang is not dealing with any confidential matters, no one should have the courage to turn it over.
When she went out, Nalan Lan'er had already led the eldest prince in and sat on the chair, she hurriedly served tea to Nalan Lan'er and the eldest prince, and nodded to Nalan Lan'er, indicating that it had been done.
The emperor tonight was something that Nalan Lan'er didn't expect, she thought that the emperor would return to this Huayan Palace after continuing to favor Concubine De and them, but she didn't expect to come the next day.
Speaking of which, did he push her to the limelight too high?
Ye Wushuang wants to use his favor to Nalan Lan'er to make other concubines jealous, and he can't provoke the noble concubine Niangniang, plus the most qualified person in the harem is Lan'er, he believes that after his favor, other concubines will not do anything crooked.
This method is actually very dangerous, if Nalan Lan'er is a new concubine, and there are those queen concubines above, the emperor is doing this is nothing more than pushing her to death.
But obviously, Ye Wushuang would not be so reckless in doing things, and if he dared to do so after considering many aspects, it was naturally he who gave Lan'er the highest position and power.
The eldest prince was still thinking about his father with joy, and he suddenly remembered the imperial grandmother, I don't know if the mother concubine is so good, why the imperial grandmother doesn't like it.
There is still a period of waiting for the emperor's arrival, and there is still a period of time for dinner, and there are no more pastries on the table, and all the fruits and peanuts are replaced.
Nalan Lan'er picked up a citrus fruit, the skin was too thick, she seemed to be a little clueless, as the master, eating a fruit has already been washed and cut by the palace maid Xia and sent to hand.
Cailian saw that the master lady had picked up the citrus, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Niangniang, can this citrus slave strip it for you?" The skin is too thick and hurts the nails. ”
Nalan Lan'er smiled, and handed over the citrus in his hand, and the eldest prince was also sitting on the side, and saw Cai Lian take the citrus and undress it in front of them, which was very novel. I also reached out and grabbed a citrus and learned to pick lotus from the thin-skinned ground, but unfortunately the force was still too small, and I could only make some traces.
Nalan Lan'er looked at it and took the orange in his hand.
