Nalan Lan'er smiled when she heard Cailian's words, and then said: "In the future, the palace will not let you go out, so you don't have to go out again." ”

When Cai Lian heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Nalan Lan'er with joy, she was not because of the relationship between her master, she was just moved by her master's trust in her, and she was just happy to be able to do more for her master in the future.

Nalan Lan'er looked up at her who was stunned, and her voice was a little puzzled: "Cailian? ”

"! Cailian will definitely be loyal! Even if you risk the life of a slave! Cai Lian, who came over, immediately expressed her loyalty, this is the best and gentlest master she has ever met.

Nalan Lan'er looked at her serious appearance, and there was calmness between her eyebrows, Cailian's age was not young, she was eighteen years old, but she still hadn't left the palace. The reason is that she has no family and asks to take the initiative to stay in the palace, but she has no connections and status, and her appearance is average, so she has been put on hold in the most bitter and tiring Huanyi Bureau.

"Okay, this palace won't want your little life, but Cai Lian knows that it is not very safe to be around this palace, and if you are not careful, you may die."

Nalan Lan'er told the truth, lowered her head and took a sip of mint tea, which was a little spicy. Observing Cailian's expression again, she has to cultivate a few henchmen.

After Cai Lian calmed down, she didn't feel afraid of this, "Niangniang, the slave has no father, no mother and no favorite person, the only thing to do is to serve the mother with all her heart, if the slave's life can be exchanged for the health of the mother, die without regrets." ”

Nalan Lan'er hooked the corners of her mouth and was very satisfied, not for her nice words but for her sincere eyes.

"From now on, you will be the personal maid of this palace, take care of your life in the future, and don't easily trust anyone, including Wan'er." Nalan Lan'er continued to remind.

Cai Lian was a little surprised in her heart, but she didn't expect that Sister Wan'er would not be trusted by her mother? She bowed and said, "Yes, Niangniang, it's about to be lunch, and the kitchen needs to be prepared, and the slave maid will go and order." ”

Nalan Lan'er nodded and motioned for her to go, still sitting in a chair drinking tea.

But at this time of lunch, a large number of guests were ushered in.

Xiao Zhizi looked more clever, and saw a group of people coming to Huayan Palace in the distance from a distance, and hurriedly ran in to say goodbye.

He stood outside the door and knelt down to beg to see him, "Qi Yu Niangniang, there is a group of people rushing towards Huayan Palace, and the number of people is about twenty. ”

Nalan Lan'er just drank all the cups of warm tea, looked up and heard the report of Xiao Zhizi outside the door, and stood up and went out in confusion, when he came to the door of the palace, the two palace maids immediately bowed, Xiao Zhizi knelt and saw the bottom of the gorgeous clothes in front of him, and continued: "Niangniang, those seem to be the people of the Internal Affairs Office. ”

Nalan Lan'er instructed Xiao Zhizi to get up and speak, and when she heard that it was the Internal Affairs Office's thoughts, she seemed to remember something, and said indifferently: "Just let them in then, don't panic." ”

Xiao Zhizi received the order, ashamed of his frizziness, lowered his head and just wanted to leave, and then heard the master's voice coming: "Xiao Zhizi, this palace doesn't mean to blame you, don't think too much about feeling restrained." ”

Xiao Zhizi really has the mentality of a little girl, and Nalan Lan'er cured him when she said something like this.

"Yes, mother, minions remember." After speaking, he stepped on cheerful steps and went back, without the slightest hint of nervousness when he came.

After telling Xiao Yangzi about Niangniang's instructions, the two of them guarded the gate as always, watching the group of people from far to near, and actually led ten palace maids and ten eunuchs?

This is blowing a big north wind, the palace maid and eunuch are not wearing very thick, and the two grandmothers who are walking in front of them can't wait to stick all the fur to the thick and strong contrast!

But that was the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was also regarded as an official and a half-position, hundreds of times higher than them, who were eunuchs, so they could only bow respectfully and salute.

Fighting a dog also depends on the owner, the two grandmothers led by them are more plump, and when they saw Xiao Zhizi and Xiao Yangzi, they said disdainfully: "Get up, tell the concubine Niangniang, and say that the people from the Internal Affairs Office sent her a maid." ”

With all the materials in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it stands to reason that no one will disrespect him or ignore him. For a long time, the grandmother of the Internal Affairs Office has also developed a proud appearance.

Xiao Zhizi and Xiao Yangzi directly got out of the way and invited someone from the Internal Affairs Office to go in. Seeing these ten palace maids and ten minions walking in front of them, Xiao Zhizi and Xiao Yangzi glanced at each other twice and stayed outside the door again.

Nalan Lan'er sat in the main hall, and the two palace maids around her were waiting on the side, and the two grandmothers accompanied them with a smiling face and saluted as soon as they came in, and more than 20 people said in unison: "Slaves and maids see the concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Jin'an." ”

Nalan Lan'er glanced at the group of people below, and there was some softness in her lazy voice: "Well, get up and speak." ”

"Xie Niangniang." It was another crowd of kneeling thanks.

The two grandmothers took the lead in getting up, looking at the beautiful concubine Niangniang on the stage, and asked: "The internal affairs office has neglected the matter, and I ask the mother to forgive me, the records of the internal affairs office were not distributed at that time, resulting in the lack of two slaves in the mother's palace, and the mother did not go to the internal affairs office to urge, it is really the fault of the internal affairs office." ”

This was said as if he was pleading guilty and complaining that Huayan Palace did not go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find an important person, and Nalan Lan'er glanced at the two of them, and said with a light expression: "It's good to know that it is the fault of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if the emperor hadn't mentioned it himself, the palace would have forgotten about it." ”

The two grandmothers shook when they heard the emperor's name, and it was just because Father-in-law Sun specially came to the Internal Affairs Office to write a document and sharply accused them, so they picked out the ten best palace maids and eunuchs to choose for the mother.

At this time, they could only lower their heads, not daring to speak more.

Nalan Lan'er looked at them and didn't speak, and the cold light in her eyes was fleeting. "If the Internal Affairs Office continues like this, will your group of people be worried?"

The two grandmothers fell to their knees, and at the same time a large group of people behind them also knelt down.

"Niangniang spares her life, this matter is indeed the fault of the Internal Affairs Office, the emperor has severely reprimanded us again, if there is no need to say it next time, the old slave will move in all aspects."

Hearing this, Nalan Lan'er was very satisfied, and did not let them get up, but said: "The palace maid and eunuch in the back raised their heads to show the palace how it was." ”

As soon as the words came out, the twenty palace maids and eunuchs who had originally lowered their heads raised their heads in unison, some looked at Nalan Lan'er with longing eyes, some were very timid and didn't dare to look at Nalan Lan'er, and some looked up and didn't look at Nalan Lan'er.

One by one is not brave enough, Nalan Lan'er was very disappointed when she saw half of it, although she didn't say it clearly, but most of these palace maids have little experience, plus they all have a good appearance, and she seems to understand the role of this posture when she comes to Huayan Palace.

The purpose of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really frank and explicit.

Nalan Lan'er was very angry, but this time she restrained herself, coldly glanced at the two grandmothers with their heads bowed, and then put her eyes on the ten eunuchs. The eunuch is better than the palace maid, and looks more calm.

Looking from left to right, only a eunuch with an indifferent expression and no sense of condescension entered her eyes.

"The ninth eunuch from left to right." Nalan Lan'er said, bowing her head and taking a sip of tea.

The people who were called quietly came out of the column and stood aside and waited. The remaining nine are not blushing, who doesn't know the biggest concubine in the harem of Huayan Palace?

"Alright, let's take the rest." Nalan Lan'er watched the little eunuch walk calmly to the side, and said to the two grandmothers led by him.

This didn't seem to be in line with the rules, and the two grandmothers dared to say: "Niangniang, there is still a palace maid who has not been selected?" ”|

Nalan Lan'er looked indifferently at the talking grandmother, and said expressionlessly: "The palace maids in this palace are abundant, and they don't need them for the time being." ”

Listening to the somewhat piercing tone, the grandmothers hurriedly knelt down: "Back to Niangniang, the emperor sent a message to find the best palace maid for Niangniang, Niangniang still chooses one, right?" ”

At this time, Cailian came back from the kitchen, lowered her head and spared the people from the Internal Affairs Office to Nalan Lan'er's side, poured her a cup of warm mint tea and said, "Niangniang, drink some mint tea, lunch will be ready soon." ”

Nalan Lan'er nodded, then glanced at the people below and said, "Except for the people who were pointed out just now, everyone else will go down, the palace maid needs to be older, if not, there is no need to come again." ”

After speaking, he took the lead in standing up, and the others hurriedly stepped aside to make way for Nalan Lan'er. Nalan Lan'er walked up to the eunuch and said, "Come out with the palace." ”

The eunuch saluted and silently followed Nalan Lan'er out, without looking back at the people in the Internal Affairs Office.

After Nalan Lan'er left the palace gate, the two grandmothers each looked at each other and were full of complaints, but they still reluctantly led people out.

Walking to the door of the side hall and standing still, Nalan Lan'er looked back at the people who had all exited and sneered. looked at the eunuch who had been bowing his head three steps away, and asked out loud: "What is your name and what have you done, tell the palace yourself." ”

The eunuch glanced up at Nalan Lan'er, as if he didn't expect the noble concubine Niangniang to stand at the door of the side hall like this and ask questions. After quickly sorting out his mood, he replied respectfully: "Hui Niangniang, the minion's name is Xiao Xizi, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has been learning things from other fathers in the past few years, and you are the first master of the minion." ”

"Oh?" The first master sounded a little novel, Nalan Lan'er looked at him twice and said, "You have been in the palace for a long time, and you haven't waited for the master?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the slave has been following behind the older father-in-law, and when the time is ripe, he will be assigned to the Internal Affairs Office." Kiko continued to explain, her voice a little immature.

A face is quite good-looking, with a thin body, looking seventeen or eighteen years old, the Sichuan character between the eyebrows has become a landscape.

Nalan Lan'er looked interesting: "Your foundation is naturally presented to the palace, but why do you twist your forehead like this?" ”

Even Cailian kept staring at his forehead, wondering why he kept wrinkling.
