22. The battle of tongues

Cheng Zhilan looked at the three of them from the side, and she sighed with emotion in her heart. She has been in the palace for so many years, and she has seen some scenes of deep love between master and servant, but she is not as good as these people in front of her. It's just that they are all eighteen or nineteen years old, so they have come out of the predicament of life and death, and they are all burdened with the blood and hatred of their relatives, this kind of trust and tacit understanding in the blood and bones is something that the hearts of the people in the Chen Palace can't afford.

Thinking like this, I didn't feel a trace of coolness on my face, and when I raised my hand to touch it, a teardrop rolled down.

Calculating the time, I had to step forward to interrupt the sentimentality of several people.

Pei Zhenwan sighed and forced a smile: "Senior sister has driven you, let's talk about it next time." Banxia, after a while, I need you here, but my senior sister will send someone to find you. ”

The two responded, carefully wiped the moisture in the corners of their eyes with a handkerchief, in case they were seen abnormally, got up and saluted, and quietly went out to leave.

"Seeing you like this, I like and envy you." Cheng Zhilan sighed.

Pei Zhenwan laughed out loud, turned around and glanced at it: "It's really strange, just like it, what's there to envy, could it be that you Cheng Sile haven't had a few capable sisters over the years, then I'm going to be surprised and disdainful." ”

This was a joke, but I didn't expect Cheng Zhilan to be stunned for a long time, her expression was slightly frozen, and she only stared at her in a daze.

Pei Zhenwan couldn't help but chuckle, and hurriedly explained, "Senior sister, I'm sorry, I didn't really make fun of you......"

"You're just the same as when you were a child." When Cheng Zhilan said this sentence quietly, she was still in a state of distraction.

Pei Zhenwan was also stunned, carefully pondered this sentence, looked up and saw that it was Cheng Zhilan's cherished eyes, and was immediately embraced into the arms of her senior sister.

"Awan, no, Ashu, that smile just now, I know that's your real smile."

"Senior Sister ......"

Cheng Zhilan opened her lightly: "These days, I often see you low your eyebrows and smile, but it is not from the heart, I didn't expect you to smile so easily." ”

Pei Zhenwan understood it completely, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "In front of you, I can't still hold that mask." ”

"Awan, it's so good, we have been with you all the time, waiting for the revenge to be avenged, you are still the Yang Jingshu I know."

Pei Zhenwan was about to answer, when she suddenly heard a trace of movement outside, she couldn't help but look nervous, and immediately signaled silence, walked to the door cautiously, and listened carefully to the situation outside.

A series of slightly hurried steps walked not far away, floating gently, naturally from a thin woman. The footsteps had gone a little farther, but suddenly stopped.

A voice with a sharp mouth and a thin tongue sounded: "Oh, be dead, don't you look where this is, don't you walk without eyes?" ”

Another timid voice was low, with a little unconfidence: "I'm sorry. ”

"Ah, isn't this Xiuyun of Penglai Palace, I haven't seen him for so long, and today I deigned to come to our six monks, it's disrespectful."

It's Xiuyun!

She has been locked in her room since the last time, how could she come to Liushang. Pei Zhenwan was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but glance at Cheng Zhilan, who was also surprised.

Quietly pushed the window lattice to reveal a crack, a few people under the eaves of the corner, no mockers could be seen, but her mean voice could be heard endlessly, and Wan Xiuyun was faintly mixed with a few pale apologies in the middle, and the girl was holding a drawer of utensils in her hand. With a pale face, biting his lip and enduring the humiliation of others.

Cheng Zhilan roughly concluded from her expression that Pei Zhenwan was a little worried about the girl who had won the emperor's luck and was left behind, and met Pei Zhenwan's expression and said with a smile: "I'll go." ”

Gently pushing the door out, Cheng Zhilan straightened her clothes, calmly, calmly, and slowly walked over with the calm and majesty of the director.

"What's the noise?"

Cheng Zhilan's voice was not loud, nor was it stern, it sounded like she was walking here, and she was a little confused. The sarcastic palace maid stepped forward to salute, and Pei Zhenwan saw that it was the costume of the Shang Food Bureau, and she was also holding a food box in her hand.

"Si Le, the slave maid was accidentally bumped, and she was afraid that she would damage the dim sum that she was going to send to Zhengde Palace, so she was persuading Xiuyun to be careful." The palace maid changed her sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and she was obedient and polite.

"I was hit," Cheng Zhilan pretended to be concerned, "Is there any damage?" ”

The palace maid smiled and replied: "The slave and maid are fine, Xie Sile cares." ”

"I mean, is there any damage to the dim sum sent to Zhengde Palace?"

The palace maid was a little embarrassed for a while, "It should be fine." ”

"Oh," Cheng Zhilan's voice dragged on a little long, and she suddenly realized, and said slowly: "This snack was sent to Zhengde Palace, but you and the maid of Penglai Hall had a quarrel here, I thought that the queen ordered you to reprimand the palace people for her." ”

The palace maid didn't dare to call in her mouth, and hurriedly knelt down, and she didn't dare to pick the name of the concubine who didn't match. Wan Xiuyun was like a transparent person on the side, and like this, he also bent his knees and knelt down silently.

Cheng Zhilan stroked the corners of her hair lightly, and said casually: "I have a lot of things to do today, but I just passed by here, I didn't see anything, and you guys, nothing happened." ”

The two bowed their heads, and the palace maid of the Shangshi Bureau got up and fled in a hurry.

Wan Xiuyun leaned over and said softly, "Thank you Cheng Sile." ”

Pei Zhenwan pushed open the door, walked over quickly, saluted Cheng Zhilan, and went to help Wan Xiuyun on the ground: "Xiuyun, why are you here?" ”

Wan Xiuyun hadn't answered, but Cheng Zhilan turned around. She was mentioned by the queen all the way, and she is generally regarded as a person from the queen's side, so naturally she has nothing to say hello in front of the people of Penglai Palace.

Pei Zhenwan took the thing in Wan Xiuyun's hand, it was a long mahogany box, engraved with no special orchid bamboo lines, and gently checked it, the weight was similar to that of the wooden box, and the inside should not be a heavy object, it should be a picture scroll.

Wan Xiuyun's low voice: "It's "You Chun Tu". ”

Pei Zhenwan nodded: "Xiuyun, aren't you in the palace, why did you come out." ”

Wan Xiuyun still bit her lower lip gently, leaned less, and said in a lower voice: "Liang Meiren begged Niangniang to copy the picture, Amber came to find it, if you are not in the room, I will send it out." ”

"Xiuyun, you can wait for me to go back."

Wan Xiuyun raised his head, a hint of bitterness: "I thought that I would come out to meet people after all." Who knows, I overestimated myself. ”

Pei Zhenwan sighed softly: "I'll go." You give yourself a little more time, don't force it. ”

Wan Xiuyun's eyes flashed with stubbornness, struggle, cowardice, and self-pity, and finally stopped at a look of loss, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and nodded again. The lonely figure slowly departed, mixed with the yellowing sunlight that was slightly slanting westward, becoming more and more lonely.
