"What?!" Concubine Chen listened to the palace maid's reply, and the joy on her face was immediately frightened.

"Back to my mother's words." The palace maid saw that Concubine Chen's face suddenly changed, and she was shocked in her heart, and immediately knelt down and replied. "When the slave maid went to the eldest princess's room to spread the word, she found that the eldest princess and the parrot and mandarin duck who were waiting around her were gone, and the people left in the house couldn't tell where the eldest princess was."

"Oops~~" Concubine Chen listened, stood up suddenly, and the sky was spinning for a while, and before the palace maids around her could help her, she had already fallen to the ground.

"Mother, mother!" Concubine Chen fell like this, bluffing the palace maids around her.

Fortunately, Concubine Chen didn't really faint, she just fainted with a momentary surge of blood and energy, and she couldn't catch her breath, waiting for the palace maids to help her half-help her to the bed and half-lie down.

After drinking a cup of tea, he helped her sit up and breathed smoothly on her chest, and after a long time, she waited for Concubine Chen to come over in one breath, and she slowly recovered.

In fact, it's not as good as Concubine Chen thought, I don't know where Xiao Lu went to cause trouble.

It's just that Xiao Lu was bored in the yard, and learned that there was a letter in Linhe that there was news. She couldn't bear to listen to Brother Parrot talk in her yard anymore, so it was better to take the Mandarin Duck and Brother Parrot out to find Linhe in person.

If she prevaricates herself with some trivial things about Xiao Xuan, she will really not be blamed for being polite.

When he arrived at the agreed place, Linhe temporarily entrusted others with the errand at hand, so he had to run out empty.

Waiting for her to run to the place out of breath, she found that it was not just Brother Parrot who came.

"The slave has seen the eldest princess." Seeing Xiao Lu's master and servant standing in the depths of the forest waiting for her, she and Brother Parrot handed over the news of these days, and now that they finally saw the main man behind Brother Parrot, they inevitably panicked, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed down to salute Xiao Lu. "The slave maid is in the river to greet the eldest princess."

"Alright, get up and talk back." Xiao Lu impatiently asked her to get up and talk back. "Linhe, I calculated that you also took a lot of broken silver from Brother Parrot, if you still use some chicken and dog news to prevaricate me this time, don't blame me for being rude to you. I'm not as favored as the princess who serves in your yard, but if I want to rectify a palace maid, I can still come up with a lot of ways, you know? ”

"The slave maid was really unable to do it before, the work in Princess Zhaoyue's house was done by people from the palace, and the slave and maid were too far away from Princess Zhaoyue, so they couldn't hear any news." After listening to Xiao Lu's threat, Linhe's legs became more and more weak, and he couldn't stand up, so he simply continued to kneel on the ground and tilted his head to reply. "If the slave hadn't heard important news today, she wouldn't have dared to come to the parrot girl to reply."

"Oh, what have you heard?" When Xiao Lu heard this, a little smile appeared on her face, and she leaned over and said to her. "Linhe, you have to think about it, if things are really useful to me, I won't treat you badly. If things don't work for me, you're out of luck. ”

"When the parrot girl found the slave maid before, she said that she wanted me to find out about Princess Zhaoyue's dealings with anyone in the palace. In the previous period, Princess Zhaoyue was nothing more than going to His Majesty's courtyard, or gathering and playing with a group of nobles and ladies in the palace, which was indeed nothing unusual. "Linhe is like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw, and tells all of what he has seen today in one breath, for fear that the eldest princess will not believe her words." Today, a lady brought her daughter to greet Emperor Liu, and Princess Zhaoyue called the girl Sister Chu, who seemed to be a very familiar person. The lady stayed at Emperor Liu's place to speak, Princess Zhaoyue took the girl to sit down by the lake, and after a while, an official in a flying fish suit arrived. Princess Zhaoyue invited him to sit down, and the three of them sat together and talked for a long time. ”

Flying fish suits?

The flying fish suit is an official uniform that can only be worn by people of the rank of the pennant guard, who is this person?

Xiao Lu vaguely knew that Xiao Xuan had a cousin, and the second grandson of the eldest princess of Yongshou served in the Jinqi Guard.

"Did you hear anything else?" Xiao Lu frowned secretly and continued to ask Linhe.

"Right...... By the way, the slave also heard the girl shout brother when she saw the official. Linhe's mind was in a mess, and under the forced gaze of Xiao Lu's eyes, it took a long time to sort out his thoughts and tell some of the details he had just seen and heard. The official and Princess Zhaoyue spoke very affectionately, and Princess Zhaoyue personally took the teapot to pour tea for him. The official looks like he is eighteen or nine years old, and he is also well-born, so he should be a child of a family. ”

Yes, the Jinqiwei is a team directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Chu, except for the chamberlains and palace maids who serve by His Majesty's side all day long, it is this group of people who are closest to Emperor Chu.

Therefore, nine out of ten of the Jinqiwei are all children of the family, and the Jinqiwei can be regarded as the personal guard of Emperor Chu, so naturally all of them are handsome and upright.

At this time, Xiao Lu also remembered.

Back then, the pair of brothers and sisters collided with themselves in the imperial garden, and Xiao Xuan wanted to take the lead to stop her, protected the pair of brothers and sisters, and made a fuss about the matter at the queen's birthday banquet, causing herself to be reprimanded by Emperor Chu.

"Okay, I know everything." Xiao Lu thought about it for a while, thinking that it was probably Xiao Xuan who had an affair with the brother of the brothers and sisters, and she was happy. "Linhe, you did a good job today."

Xiao Lu motioned to Brother Parrot to take out a purse containing broken silver from his arms and asked Linhe to accept it.

"The slave doesn't dare to accept the silver money of the eldest princess anymore." Linhe only felt that the silver was so hot at this time, and he dared to accept it again, so he just shook his head and refused. "If the eldest princess has something to tell the slave and maid in the future, the slave and maid will do anything, and the eldest princess will not need to give the slave and maid two silver taels again."

Xiao Lu raised his hand, and Brother Parrot immediately put the purse in Xiao Lu's palm.

"Come, take it." Xiao Lu leaned over and dragged Linhe's hand, Linhe didn't dare to struggle, so he could only let Xiao Lu stuff the purse into his hand. "It's hard to live in the palace, and I know that if you weren't short of money, you wouldn't be able to hook up with Brother Parrot. Rest assured that you will keep the money, and when you wait by my sister's side in the future, you can keep your eyes and ears active. ”

"The slave knows." The purse that Lin He was holding in his hand was like holding a piece of red-hot coals in his palm, and his whole body stiffened, so he had to agree dryly. "The slave knows in her heart, and the next time she hears any important news, she will still tell the parrot girl as soon as possible."

"Well, that's right." Xiao Lu smiled heartily, straightened up with satisfaction and said. "Let's go back."

Xiao Lu's master and servant watched Linhe stumble out of the forest.

"Brother Parrot, what was the name of the brother and sister who treated me disrespectfully in the Imperial Garden back then?" Xiao Lu still remembers that the brother and sister were the concubines of the queen's younger brother's family, but the two brothers and sisters had a good life, and they were recorded in the name of their childless mother-in-law as soon as they were born.

"Back to the princess, the brother and sister are the children of the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion, the elder brother's name should be Duan Shaolan, and the younger sister's big name slave maid doesn't know, but the nickname matches what Linhe Fang just said." Xiao Lu doesn't remember, Brother Parrot is serving by his side.

In that incident, Xiao Xuan relied on the support of Emperor Chu and the eldest princess of Yongshou behind him, and the pair of brothers and sisters also had their mother-in-law Duansu County Lord and Xian Wangfu behind them, which made Xiao Lu suffer a big loss.

"Did their brother and sister still have a relationship with Xiao Xuan after that incident?" Xiao Lu asked.

"Yes, princess." Brother Parrot thought for a moment and replied. After that, the lord of Duansu entered the palace several times and went to Yihua Palace, and His Majesty appointed Duan Shaolan to enter the palace to study and accompany the princes to study. Because not long after, Duan Shaolan sacrificed himself in the racecourse to save the eldest prince and the sixth prince, and lived in the palace of the great emperor for more than a month. Later, the slave maid heard that his personal relationship with the two princes had always been good. ”

"Yes, yes, she likes to go to her two brothers' palaces." Xiao Lu became more and more sure of what she was thinking. "The last time she sneaked out of the palace, she probably had a private meeting with Duan Shaolan."

"Princess, we have been out for a long time, and we see that the sun is getting bigger." The mandarin duck, who had been standing quietly on one side, suddenly spoke. "It's best to go back to your own yard and talk about other things."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Lu suddenly refreshed. "Let's go back."

Xiao Lu hadn't even walked into the courtyard where she and Concubine Chen lived, when she could hear a bustling sound inside.

"Celestia, you're back." At this time, when Concubine Chen's side was looking outside, she happened to see her and hurriedly rushed over. "Niangniang looked for you and didn't see you, I was so frightened that I almost fainted, the princess should go with the slave to see Niangniang."

"The mother concubine is really making a fuss, the palace is a royal garden, and my father and emperor live here, what can happen."

"Princess, the mother has just returned from the queen's courtyard." Qiyun said. "There are also very important matters to discuss with the princess."

"Alright, I got it."

When Xiao Lu walked up to Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen was still caressing her chest with palpitations, panting for breath.

"Well, where did you run again?" Concubine Chen looked at Xiao Lu and couldn't help asking. "Aren't you so bored that you don't want to go out? Why did I think about it today, so I ran out with the mandarin duck and the parrot, and I didn't know where to go. ”

"Mother, I'm not a child who wants to be held, the palace is a royal garden, where do I want to go to relax, do I have to explain my whereabouts to a group of slaves?"
