Chapter 227: Waiting for the Queen Mother
Thinking that there will be a matter of Jin Feng tomorrow, Nalan Lan'er still put Yun Ziqing's matter aside for the time being, and when she was lying on the bed and feeling the emptiness around her, Nalan Lan'er suddenly remembered Ye Wushuang, and she hadn't seen him for a day or two, and she felt that it had been a long time.
What is he busy with?
After choosing a show girl, he will go to pamper the other women, and she will welcome him with a smile and welcome him to go. Thinking about it, this kind of life is really not what she wants, what she wants is more than just staying by his side.
In order to take care of Ye Wushuang, in order to find evidence to let everyone know that the former emperor was actually the Empress Dowager Huang herself who designed the killing, she must forbear.
Even if the former emperor was killed by the vicious queen mother, why did her family suffer such a catastrophe? She naturally remembered clearly that she didn't say anything about poisoning people at all.
The originally somewhat tired mood slowly fell asleep after many knots in her mind.
She was back to the dream she had had been a few months ago, on a rainy day, blood was spreading, and her family was in a different place...... Those empty eyes.
Nalan Lan'er's closed eyes suddenly opened, and she gasped for breath, with only a trace of orange in her eyes.
"Wan'er? Lotus picking? She shouted tentatively, she needed someone by her side at this point.
Wan'er and Cailian, who were already resting outside, heard the movement and hurriedly put on their coats and went in.
"Mother, the slave is here...... What's wrong with you? Wan'er didn't dare to pick up the bed tent casually, and stood next to the bed tent and asked.
After Cai Lian heard Wan'er's question, she didn't say anything and waited for Nalan Lan'er to answer.
Nalan Lan'er was already so frightened that she sat up, and when she heard a sound close at hand, she opened the covered bed tent, raised her eyes and looked at the two of them and said, "Pour a glass of water for the palace." ”
Cailian was behind Wan'er, and when she heard Niangniang say this, she turned around and went directly to the table to pour warm water that had been warm.
Wan'er looked at Nalan Lan'er's face and said worriedly: "Niangniang, are you having a nightmare?" ”
Nalan Lan'er nodded very tiredly, "I had a nightmare, I don't know what the dream was, and I was scared after waking up." ”
Of course this is false, she still remembers the content of the nightmare, but she must not say it to Wan'er, it is a secret that belongs to her.
Cai Lian had already come over with tea, and when she heard Nalan Lan'er say this, she guessed: "Niangniang, could it be that you saw the face of the little master of Yun tonight and had a nightmare subconsciously?" ”
Nalan Lan'er was glad that Cailian had found a good excuse for her, she nodded and said, "Probably." ”
In this way, it is not surprising that Wan'er found a suitable reason to wake up from a nightmare to her master.
Wan'er said: "Niang Niang sleep at ease, Wan'er and Cailian are waiting outside the door, if you are afraid, just say it, and the slave and maid will be guarding you." ”
Cai Lian looked at Niangniang's face a little better than just now, and said, "If Niangniang is afraid, how about guarding you here?" ”
Nalan Lan'er held the hot water in her hand, lowered her head and took a sip and shook her head: "No need, this palace is better after drinking water, the weather is so cold, what are you doing here for a night, it's okay." ”
Nalan Lan'er handed the teacup in her hand to Wan'er and put down the bed tent.
Wan'er and Cailian saw that the master's attitude was not easy to force, so they quietly retreated.
Finally spent a night, and the next morning, Wan'er and Cailian washed up, prepared the things that Niangniang wanted to wash, and waited intently for Nalan Lan'er to wake up.
Xu still didn't sleep well last night, Nalan Lan'er woke up shortly after Wan'er got up, and after some waiting, it was not yet time for breakfast, so she had to stand at the door and look at the white fish belly in the sky, feeling the cold morning.
But today, not only the owner of Huayan Palace got up early, in fact, Liu Ronghua, He Wanrong, Lan Wanyi and others all got up early and waited. The news that came before was that the rank of Jin Feng was promulgated today.
Everyone wants to know what kind of concubine their rank is promoted, except for Yun Ziqing, who is sick, she didn't sleep well last night, and it wasn't until midnight when the effect of the medicine took effect that she slowly fell asleep on her side, but she was so bitter that Qinghe Qingye waited for her, and she didn't sleep all night.
When all the palace people were waiting for the notice, Yun Ziqing's palace was still as quiet as ever, it should be said that it was silent.
Because before they entered the palace, Empress Yunshan had already died, even if Empress Yunshan was still there, they were not qualified to go to see them if they were of such a low rank.
After being tired all night last night, Yun Ziqing lay on the bed and slept, and the other two palace maids slept in the outer room not far away. Looks like a deep sleep.
Gonggong Sun only sent a little eunuch to inform all the palace people in the list handed over by Nalan Lan'er, and this large-scale promotion needed to be carried out in front of the Queen Mother. Let all the little mothers be there.
With such a simple sentence, all the concubines became happy, hurriedly finished breakfast, and everyone began to dress up.
And Yun Ziqing continued to fall asleep, and the person ordered by Gonggong Sun only brought this sentence to the little eunuch guarding outside the door, because he heard the eunuch say that the palace maid and the little master had not woken up yet.
It was this negligence that created a bane.
Nalan Lan'er naturally received the notice, but the difference is that she was personally informed by her grandfather. This time, Jin Feng had nothing to do with her, so she wore a slightly new concubine dress, and her makeup was convenient and the same as usual.
Led by Grandpa Sun to Cining Palace in person, Nalan Lan'er followed Grandpa Sun a little lower to the right, and saw the three words of Cining Palace from a distance, and the hand in the wide sleeve grabbed the cuff, it was this feeling that he knew who the enemy was but he still had to be respectful, and he couldn't be in a hurry.
Cai Lian looked at Nalan Lan'er's clothes as she walked, although the master looked good in whatever clothes she wore, but today was the Jin Feng Day of the entire concubine, and those who did not enter the fourth concubine according to the custom did not need to congratulate them, they only needed to change the things they were rewarded and the information from the Internal Affairs Office.
But her master is now the biggest concubine in the harem, second only to the queen in power, and those new and old concubines can't be disrespectful to her, just afraid that some people who don't have long eyes will come to die, so she originally felt that the mother was dressed up more beautifully, and she tried to win the eyes of everyone, knowing that everyone didn't dare to be disrespectful to the master!
Nalan Lan'er obviously thought about it for a long time, and suddenly Yun Ziqing sounded, and Nalan Lan'er asked: "Grandpa Sun, the only one in the last batch of Jin Feng agreed, she suddenly fell ill last night, and the palace had already seen her last night, so she was so serious, she shouldn't be able to come today." You see, how is this handled? ”
Grandpa Sun was leading the way quietly, but when he suddenly heard Nalan Lan'er say this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Go back to Niangniang, and then send the rewarded things directly to the palace that promised?" ”
Nalan Lan'er smiled and said, "When Grandpa Sun said this, the palace was relieved." ”
Gonggong Sun asked again: "What Niangniang is talking about is the one who jumped one level directly from the promised Jin to the noble?" ”
"Well, Grandpa Sun guessed who it was at once, this memory is not ordinarily good." Nalan Lan'er said with a smile, but whether this smile is up to the eye is another matter.
Grandpa Sun is also a good person, so it is naturally difficult to ask anything more at this time, so he had to turn the topic to Nalan Lan'er.
"Niangniang is really a holy favor, the old slave has been in the palace for many years, and has seen two kings, one is the first emperor, the old slave has never seen the first emperor so tempted by a woman. Only today's saints have this kind of feeling. "I sighed for a moment and said something I shouldn't have said.
Nalan Lan'er secretly ridiculed herself, the emperor's personality was so terrifying, he dragged people out and beheaded them at every turn, no matter who he was, there was no way to get along, what he wanted was always to be afraid and obedient, and Ye Wushuang were two different existences.
Of course, she couldn't show that she was very clear, so she kept pretending to be stupid and asked, "Grandpa Sun, what kind of person is the emperor?" ”
Grandpa Sun knew that he was wrong, so he naturally couldn't say anything more, so he smiled and said: "Hui Niangniang, this slave has also seen it from a distance, and has never seen the emperor up close, so he doesn't know very well, and the emperor has passed away, so the slave doesn't dare to say more." ”
Nalan Lan'er nodded: "What my father-in-law said is reasonable. ”
Saying that, I arrived at Cining Palace, I don't know if she was too slow or those concubines were too anxious, and before the time came, the concubines were already waiting in the courtyard, inside Cining Palace, outside the palace gate.
One by one, the flowers and branches were displayed, but the number was pitiful, there were only four people, Liu Ronghua was dressed very noblely, and the white sable fur was wrapped around his neck. He Wanrong wore a brocade dress, and it seemed that she, the concubine, was dressed even better. Lan Wanyi is more elegant, while Hong Fangrong is wearing a simple light blue dress, although she looks a little shabby, but she is on the same level as her concubine.
This made Nalan Lan'er look at Hong Fangrong twice, Grandpa Sun coughed in the back, and the four concubines in front immediately turned around, and when they saw Nalan Lan'er standing at the door, they immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The concubine sees the concubine Niangniang, and I have seen Grandpa Sun." ”
Nalan Lan'er smiled appropriately on the corner of her mouth, and said loudly: "Sisters, please get up quickly." ”
"Xie Niangniang." The crowd knelt down and thanked them.
Even Liu Ronghua, who is usually dissatisfied with Nalan Lan'er, doesn't look at Nalan Lan'er at this time.
Nalan Lan'er also stood aside and waited for the queen mother to come out, the closed door did not move at all, Sun Gonggong walked to the door and waited for the queen mother to come out, only after the queen mother was present to witness the promotion of the concubines he read out and was affirmed, the concubines of these concubines were counted.
After all, the chapter of the harem is still in the hands of the queen mother, although the queen mother no longer cares about the affairs of the harem and wants to concentrate on cultivating Buddhism, but this hand is still stretched out, she doesn't care but she has to know everything.
The emperor is a filial son, so naturally he will not have some objections to what the queen mother does, except that he wants to establish Nalan Lan'er but has not been agreed to still insist.
That's the only thing he's holding onto.
