Chapter 043: Palace Maiden Bizhu
Na Sheng Xuanyuan gave a congratulatory gift at the general's birthday banquet, and after showing his face, he hurried all the way back to the palace. When he arrived at the palace gate, when he was about to get off the horse and change the sedan chair, he saw Yan Liu'er, the little eunuch in front of him, standing at the palace gate, his neck stretched out and looking out, looking like he had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing that Sheng Xuanyuan was back, Yan Liu'er hurriedly trotted up to meet him, took the horse whip in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are back, Liu'er is almost ready to wear it here!" ”
Sheng Xuanyuan pursed his lips with a cold face, lowered his head and leaned into the sedan chair, without looking at him. Yan Liu'er seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and followed the sedan chair outside to talk to herself: "Zhu'er is unwell today and wants to take a leave of absence for two days." You weren't there, and the slave saw that she was really uncomfortable, so he took it upon himself to grant her leave. Rest assured, the minions promise to serve you comfortably during her absence......"
"What's wrong with her?" The person in the sedan car suddenly asked, which startled Yan Liu'er. Where does the sun come out today? You know, he's always been almost like he's air.
Yan Liu'er swallowed her saliva and replied, "Uh-she didn't say it, the slave thought that Zuo was just a woman's fault, so she was too embarrassed to ask......"
"Hmm. I'll write a message when I go back in a while, and you can take it to the worship room and bring the book of this pearl to me to look at. ”
Yan Liu'er hurriedly nodded and bowed down. After a while, all the information about Zhu'er was sent to Sheng Xuanyuan.
It turned out that this pearl's real name is Huang Bizhu, and she is the daughter of Huang Zicheng, a household servant, who entered the palace as a draft girl four months ago, and was assigned to the third prince as a palace maid after losing the election. The records about her in the booklet are clean, and she is clearly a lady from a good background. Sheng Xuanyuan closed the booklet and couldn't help frowning.
When Yan Liu'er saw his master like this, he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, that booklet has always been an official article, and it can't be true." If you want to know something, just ask Liu'er, and Liu'er must know everything. ”
Sheng Xuanyuan raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "Then you can tell me, how much do you know about this Huang Bizhu?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Yan Liu'er hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "This is the right person to ask!" This pearl, I heard that he was weak and sick when he was young, and Lord Huang and his wife invited many doctors to no avail. Later, a fortune teller said that this child had to lead the hair and practice in the temple for a few years to suppress the evil spirit in his life. Lord Huang had no choice but to send the child to the temple. Who knew that he really let him tell him accurately, this Zhu'er's body has improved a lot, although he is still thin, but it is no longer a big problem. ”
Sheng Xuanyuan listened to the short gossip of the family, but it was very boring, so he lazily asked: "Since you are the daughter of the waiter, why was you chosen here to be the palace maid?" ”
As soon as Yan Liu'er heard his master ask this, he suddenly came to his senses, and his voice was a little excited: "What's this...... But there is a reason. If you want to say that this pearl has a good background and good looks, she can also be promised if she is smooth. It's a pity that she was a little sharp during the election period, and used eighteen martial arts to attract the emperor's attention. Unexpectedly, before she saw the emperor, she annoyed Concubine Chen first. Speaking of this, Yan Liu'er deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Do you think, how can Concubine Chen allow a little show girl to steal her limelight?" So, this pearl hasn't seen the emperor yet, so she was directly selected by Concubine Chen as the palace maid. She also has to be glad that she has a father who is a waiter, and she can be a palace maid here comfortably, otherwise, she will be sent to Xinzhiku to do laundry! ”
Seduce your father? Sheng Xuanyuan's thick eyebrows raised upward, a little disbelieving. Compared to the palace maids around him who always wanted to climb the high branches, this pearl never tried to seduce him. For more than two months, he has been silent and self-contained, and has never taken the initiative to step forward.
Could it be that the charm of my father is so great? Sheng Xuanyuan laughed self-deprecatingly.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't laugh anymore. Could it be that she has other plans for her father?

The more suspicious Guanyun thought about it during the banquet, the more wrong it became, he couldn't sit still, and he couldn't wait until he could go back. Seeing that everyone at the table was drinking happily at this time, no one noticed him, so he quietly got up and left the table to find his sister.
Here, Zhilan had just peeled the crab shell and was about to enjoy her delicious crab roe with a small spoon, but was dragged out of the house by her brother.
"Oops—do you know that it doesn't taste good when it's cold......" Zhilan said as she poked her head into the room and looked at the crab on the table.
"Lan'er, tell your brother the truth, what did you mean by what you said at that time?"
Zhilan looked around, lowered her voice and said, "Didn't you say it when you went back!" There are many people here, and it is inconvenient. ”
"It's okay, you can come and whisper." Guanyun's expression was a little anxious.
"Alas! I wouldn't have given you a letter if I had known......" muttered, Zhilan reluctantly attached to Guanyun's ear and whispered: "That show girl is probably poisoned......"
"Huh?"
Zhilan looked at her brother's stammering appearance with satisfaction, and then attached it and whispered, "It's not appropriate to say that it is poisoned." To be precise, she should have been tricked. ”
