Chapter 35: Someone from the palace came to deliver the decree

The girl was not annoyed, she finally walked to Nalan Fanghua's side, "Fifth sister, don't you believe me either?" ”

Nalan Fanghua was still young, she shook her head again and again, "You better explain this matter to your mother and eldest sister!" ”

Everyone believed that Nalan Wuyu was a thief, and at this time, Nalan Guangyao also returned, and when he saw that everyone in the mansion had come to Zilanyuan, he also came over to see what was going on.

As soon as Nalan Guangyao came, he saw the chaos in the courtyard, and when everyone saw that the master was back, where did they dare to shout, they all stood aside and said hello respectfully, and even the matter of Ruyi being slapped stopped.

And with Nalan Guangyao, there were three eunuchs, I heard that they came to pass on the message of the queen's mother.

As soon as the eunuch at the head entered the courtyard, he shouted in a thin voice, "The queen's mother has decreed, and all the ladies of Nalan Mansion have come out to receive the order-" The tail voice was long, for fear that others would not hear it.

Everyone in the room instantly fell silent, and they all looked outside, and Li slapped his head, "How did I forget this, in previous years, during the Double Ninth Festival, the queen would always send someone to come three days to deliver the decree." ”

Saying that, the Li family was the first to walk out of the house, and the rest of the people, Nalan Yanqin, Nalan Wuyu and Nalan Xunchun, were all concubines, so several people had to follow behind the Li family in an orderly manner, but just when Nalan Yanqin stepped out of the threshold, she kicked something and fell directly into a dog eating.

This wrestling attracted everyone's attention, and the first person to go up to help Nalan Yanqin was not someone else, but Nalan Wuyu, who came out of her side, she kindly helped people up and said,

"Eldest sister, your toe is just right, you have to be careful when you walk, don't kick it off again."

It's okay not to say this, as soon as the girl mentioned this, Nalan Yanqin was only about to explode her lungs, but because her father-in-law was there, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, she pushed Nalan Wuyu away, sneered and lowered her voice, "The second sister just takes care of herself, Ling Lanxiang's matter is not over yet!" ”

The girl grinned, "My sister is not afraid of shadows, and when the matter is over, the eldest sister can only search my sister's body." ”

After speaking, the two of them had already followed Li Shi and Nalan Guangyao and knelt down to greet him.

When the father-in-law saw that everyone was kneeling, he recited the edict.

It turns out that the queen will hold the Double Ninth Festival in the palace every year, and specially invite some women and nobles to enter the palace to enjoy chrysanthemum flower arrangement, so she will send someone to convey her will three days ago, so that the ladies can make plans to enter the palace as soon as possible.

Nan Qiao was ecstatic in his heart, waiting left and right, finally waiting for such a good opportunity.

After everyone was leveled, the herald was about to leave, but she didn't expect Nalan Yanqin to suddenly go up, ignoring everyone's strange eyes, she pushed a bag of silver into the hands of the chief eunuch.

"Father-in-law stays, this is a little heart, you accept it!"

Because that person happens to be the father-in-law next to the queen, and Nalan Yanqin usually enters the palace a lot, so naturally she often meets this person, and she is familiar with it after coming and going.

The eunuch led by him was surprised for a second, he had already given Fei Nalan Guangyao who had just run an errand, what did this eldest lady mean?

Before asking, Nalan Yanqin said, "Gonggong Li, if someone steals the tribute spices in the palace, what should he be guilty of?" ”

Li Gonggong immediately understood, he glanced back at the many female dependents behind him, and said to Nalan Yanqin with a smile, "Naturally, it's a big crime, could it be that someone in the house has really eaten the gall of an ambitious leopard?" ”

Nalan Guangyao walked up in two steps, "Qin'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

He had just come back and didn't know anything, and he was confused, but it didn't feel like a good thing.

Gonggong Li smelled a familiar fragrance at this time, and he said with some uncertainty, "This fragrance is fresh and smelly, and has a calming effect, it seems to be the Ling blue fragrance used by the queen's mother?" ”

Nalan Yanqin ignored Nalan Guangyao's warning, her eyes lit up, "What my father-in-law said is very true, this is Ling Lanxiang, which was given to me by the queen mother two months ago, and my father-in-law was also there at that time, I don't know if my father-in-law still remembers?" ”

Gonggong Li nodded, "Of course I remember." ”

"I have been carefully cherishing such a precious incense, and I am reluctant to use it, but on the contrary, some dishonest people in the house have the idea of stealing the Ling blue incense that the queen mother gave me, this spice can only be used in the palace above the position of the concubine, if there is no will and reward of the queen, others will not be able to use it, otherwise it is a big crime to encroach on the queen."

If it's just the backyard of Nalan Mansion, Gonggong Li can also ignore it, but once the crime of trespassing is involved, then it will be okay, Gonggong Li will not do it when he hears it, this matter is no longer as simple as a matter in the mansion.

He walked up to Nalan Guangyao, and in order not to brush off Nalan Guangyao's face, he said extremely tactfully, "Lord Nalan, this matter involves the queen mother and the palace rules, and the miscellaneous family really needs to check it out, otherwise it will be difficult for the miscellaneous family to go back and explain to the queen mother, and please forgive Nalan people." ”

What else could Nalan Guangyao say, with a stiff smile on his face, he could only respond to Gonggong Li's meaning.

He glared at Nalan Yanqin with a sharp look, what is there to deal with in private, this kind of matter involving tribute and spices has to involve the people in the palace, one is not good, it is not one person who is involved, but the entire Nalan Mansion, this Nalan Yanqin is really too ignorant.

Nalan Yanqin ignored Nalan Guangyao's gaze, she followed behind Gonggong Li and walked in the direction of everyone, if she didn't do this, how could she give Nalan Wuyu a fatal blow! Her father only knew how to maintain the wild seeds that came back from outside.

Li originally wanted to chop off Nalan Wuyu's two hands and give up, but she didn't expect Nalan Yanqin to calculate that someone would come to the palace today to announce the decree, she was too bold, even the palace people dared to take advantage of it, and now that she put it like this, the situation is a little out of control, and Li Shi also began to panic, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and she must bite to death It is Nalan Wuyu who stole Ling Lanxiang and helped her daughter implement Nalan Wuyu's crime.

Soon, someone moved the chairs for Gonggong Li and others, and Nalan Guangyao and Li also sat on the side to watch, and the whole courtyard was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Gonggong Li slowly sipped the tea and glanced at everyone, "Who stole Ling Lanxiang and stood up by himself, if you wait for the miscellaneous family to find out the person, but you have to bring it back to the palace and hand it over to the queen mother." ”

Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word, for fear that this matter would lead to burning, but they never thought that Nalan Xunchun would stand up.

"Father-in-law Li, I know who stole Ling Lanxiang."

A word stirred up a thousand waves, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Li's forehead, doesn t she know her daughter, when it comes to her mind, Nalan Xunchun is stupid, and the gun shoots the first bird, what kind of mouth does this girl have now.

Feeling the sharp gaze from Li's family, Nalan Xunchun realized that he shouldn't have stood up and said this, at this time, Gonggong Li had already asked who it was, and she couldn't say that she didn't know, so she said, "It was Nalan Wuyu who stole it, and that Ling Lanxiang must be on her." ”

"Who is Nalan Wuyu?" Gonggong Li continued to sip tea.

Hearing this, Nan Qiao stood up and bent down slightly, "The little woman is Nalan Wuyu, but what is Ling Lanxiang, the little woman has never heard of it." ”

The simplicity and ignorance she showed didn't seem to be pretending, a pair of big eyes looked at this and that, for a moment like an innocent little beast.

Gonggong Li didn't expect that the extraordinary-looking girl in front of him was Nalan Wuyu, she really didn't look like the kind of girl with unclean hands and feet, but it was difficult to say everything, people like them who have been in the palace for a long time, many things can't just look at the surface.

He reached out and fanned the aroma to the tip of his nose a few times, then cleared his throat, "You have the smell of Ling blue fragrance on your body, do you dare to say that you didn't steal it?" ”

Nan Qiao raised his hand and sniffed the tip of his nose on his sleeve, "It's strange, there was no such fragrance just now." As if talking to herself, she casually pulled Nalan Xunchun beside her, and sniffed on her shoulder, "Father-in-law, you really wronged me, the fourth sister also has this smell, and it seems that the third sister and the fifth sister also have it, don't believe it, you let them get closer and smell it." ”

As he spoke, Nalan Wuyu sniffed among the crowd.

As soon as these words came out, several young ladies who were named by her turned pale, and the most unconvinced was Nalan Xunchun, who yelled at Nan Qiao,

"Nalan Wuyu, you dare to wronged me, where did Miss Ben get the Ling blue fragrance on her body, it is obvious that you see that the matter is about to be exposed, so you want to pull me as a backing, right?"

Nan Qiao's face was a little unsightly, she pulled the corner of Nalan Xunchun's clothes, and reminded him in a low voice,

"Fourth sister, how can you say that I am also your sister, how can you call my name in public? Even if we are a little unhappy in private, but in public..."You still have to call me second sister on the face, Nan Qiao's words are halfway, this meaning is already obvious.

Although the voice was low, it was still heard by those who should have heard it, Nalan Guangyao's brows furrowed deeper, and his eyes looking at Li Shi were also very sharp.

Li Shi was a little weak-hearted, and shouted in a low voice, "Chun'er, have you forgotten how your mother usually taught you?" ”

Nalan Xunchun immediately realized that he shouldn't be rude at this time, "But mother, Nalan... No, the second sister wronged me, so I was in a hurry..."

"Enough!" Gonggong Li was a little impatient, and pointed to the other young ladies, "You guys, come closer." ”

Half a meter away, the smell of the rest of the people is lighter, only the fragrance on Nalan Xunchun's body is stronger, Li Gonggong gently fanned it with his hand, and after smelling the fragrance, "It seems... The fragrance on the fourth lady is very strong! ”

Nalan Xunchun was directly stunned, and looked around at the other sisters, "Gonggong Li, will you smell it wrong, how can I have it?" ”

"Bold!" Father-in-law Li is also a celebrity next to the queen, and being questioned by a little girl is what he can't tolerate the most, "You mean, the miscellaneous family can't tell the taste of Ling Lanxiang?" ”

Nalan Xunchun waved his hand again and again, "No, the little woman didn't mean that, my father-in-law misunderstood." ”

"Hmph, the miscellaneous family doesn't care about you for the sake of Lord Nalan's face, since you said that the second lady stole Ling Lanxiang, do you have any evidence?"
