One hundred and three, a battlefield without gunsmoke
"Master, hurry up! If you grind it any more, you'll be late. You must be careful of the queen's punishment when chasing books! ”
"What's the hurry, wait for the master and I will drink this glass of juice, the five kinds of fruits are squeezed together, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't drink it?"
Lan Xi is still wearing the work clothes from yesterday, but all the jewelry has been replaced by the reward of Emperor Wang, and she looks more and more youthful, beautiful, refreshing and capable. Her black and thick hair was coiled into a tight and smooth snail bun, and she was inserted with a hairpin and a step shake, and then she wore the same set of bracelets, pendants and chains, which were transparent and moist, and perfectly lined her beautiful skin and youthful face.
During this time, he no longer worked, his fingers were also delicate and delicate, and he wore a dazzling platinum diamond ring, which was only a jewelry that could only be enjoyed by women and concubines and princesses of the second grade or above.
The most striking thing is the bright red kiss marks on the neck and chest, showing the absurdity and fanaticism of yesterday, the lips are deliberately rubbed for a while, and then the pale red lipstick is applied, which at first glance seems to be swollen, which makes people think that yesterday has added a lot of conjecture.
Lan Xi slowly drank the juice and wiped her mouth under Xiao Tao's anxious and puzzled gaze. Only then did she get up in the sedan chair, this little girl, where did she know her thoughts, she was cautious or swaggering, but in order to protect herself, if no one could rely on it, then she could only rely on herself!
Entering Kunning Palace, Lin Ruoruo greeted her, and couldn't help but blame in a low voice: "Why did the talented person come so late, the queen has been waiting for more than ten minutes!" When she saw Lan Xi's dress and the red spots on her neck, she was stunned, but she was a smart person in the end, and she quickly understood Lan Xi's thoughts, although it was inconvenient to speak, her eyes showed admiration.
"The slave has seen the queen mother! Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother! Lan Xi deliberately knelt down in a ten-twisted posture, looking like she had been overly ravaged by Emperor Wangdi yesterday, but she was slandering in her heart, what kind of system, she was ruined by her husband, and she still had to thank her?
However, according to her conscience, the queen is even more pitiful, and watching her husband snub her and other women, not only can she not be angry, but she must also make a generous and virtuous appearance, and while persuading her to serve her husband more attentively in the future, she will also reward her with real money and silver jewelry.
The queen stayed awake all night last night, looking at Lanxi on the ground, who was belatedly swaggering through the market, and couldn't tell the ups and downs in her heart.
Six years ago. She is just twenty-four years old, in her prime, the age of longing for men, not to mention that her husband is so handsome and excellent, and they have a pair of lovely children, she should be the noblest and happiest woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But one day Emperor Wangdi found the petals of the stunner in the world hidden in the harem, and since then her happiness with other women has come to an end, and all she has left is noble, at first she thought that after his freshness, everything would naturally be the same, but for six years, he never touched her again, that is, the palace rules must come to Kunning Palace, but sit for a while, talk about the court and talk about children, and leave when it is time to go to bed.
In the past six years, her greatest wish is to let the petals fall out of favor, so she does not hesitate to find stunning beauties to send to the Cheng'en bed, but her husband is not interested at all, and occasionally he can't bear to live up to her hospitality, and he only leaves it behind in one night.
Only the woman in front of me. Imprisoned by petals for three years, it was extraordinary from the first appearance, no one thought that Emperor Wangdi ran to the plum garden in the summer, but he was very interested in the little palace maid who worked roughly, regardless of shame and prestige, he was fortunate to be under the plum tree in broad daylight, although she didn't ask again, she still saw a glimmer of hope, according to the system to seal this woman for a change of clothes, and then wait for observation.
This woman slowly relied on various opportunities to show her extraordinary, not only the entire harem looked sideways, but it seemed that Emperor Wangdi was becoming more and more interested in her. Until today, such a big office scandal has been created.
The two of them actually went out from 10 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and in the afternoon... Duocai passed lunch in, and a large basin of pain-relieving soup and snacks for bathing was also sent in the middle. How indulgent are the two? Was he as fervent and tender to her as he was when they were newly married?
Maybe she should be happy, because her wish for six years has come true, and someone has finally broken the situation of petals' exclusive pet, and she still needs to continue to help this woman to fix her pet, so that the petal slut will completely fall out of favor.
As for her, a woman from a slave background, no matter how favored she is, she can't threaten her status, and it's not too late to clean her up when the petal slut completely loses power!
But why is a trace of heartache uncontrollable in my heart?
Lan Xi didn't see her words, and quickly kowtowed again: "The queen mother Mingjian, it's not that the slave is pampered and arrogant and deliberately late, but I really didn't dare to disobey the king's heart yesterday, everything is up to the emperor's temperament, and this morning I am inconvenient to walk because of my physical discomfort." That's why I've been grinding until now, the mother forgives her sins, and the slave doesn't dare anymore! ”
After speaking, he raised his head, although he looked pitiful, but his eyes were full of joy and arrogance.
The queen's heart tightened when she heard this, he loved a woman from a slave so much? When he saw Lan Xi's neck and chest, he was stunned, how ridiculous and fanatical were the two of them yesterday?
Anger welled up in his heart, and in his heart, was the affection of the knot not as good as that of any woman? But you know that love will give birth to hatred, isn't he afraid that he will retaliate against him?
In the future, you don't need to care who he favors, just seek benefits for yourself and a pair of children, not only to master the harem, but also to gradually cultivate your own power in the court with the help of your father, if he dares to be unfavorable to their mother and son, he will abolish him and set up the emperor with a clear and straightforward idea, and call himself the queen mother!
Lin Ruoruo saw that the queen was obviously out of shape, and quickly coughed lightly, Queen Gui came to her senses, waved her hand to signal everyone to retreat, forced back the loss and resentment in her eyes, and said to Lan Xi with an affectionate and decent smile: "Congratulations to the talented person for winning the heart of the king!" I worked hard to serve the emperor yesterday. It's understandable that I'm late this morning, rest assured, this palace won't be so impersonal! This palace has long said that our common enemy is the petals, as long as we can take her favor, this palace will have a lot of rewards! You have to continue to work hard, and your thoughts will impress the emperor and let him summon you to sleep more! ”
A trace of shyness appeared on Lan Xi's face, and there was a smug that couldn't be concealed: "The slave has always kept in mind the instructions of the mother and has done everything possible to please the emperor." The emperor said that he liked the outfit of the slave maid, but yesterday he didn't make it look good. Last night, I specially ordered the servants to clean and iron and wear it this morning, and the queen thought it was good? Why don't you make a few more clothes and wear them every day? ”
The queen waved her hand, still with a light smile on her face: "This is not necessary, no matter how good things are, they are tired of looking at them every day, my sister is a talented person, and this palace allows you to dress up casually, as long as you are beautiful and moving, you don't have to worry about whether it is suitable for the grade." ”
Lan Xi said worriedly, "This is not appropriate, right? The slave is afraid that others will criticize the mother behind her back! ”
Without waiting for the queen to answer, Lin Ruoruo on the side burst out laughing: "Lan Cairen has this heart!" Didn't you realize that your jewelry was out of order? Diamonds are only eligible to be worn if they are above the second grade, and mutton fat jade can only be worn if they are above the fifth grade! Niangniang was afraid that others would see the mistake of catching you, so she specially agreed, so that others would have nothing to say! ”
Lan Xi pretended to be panicked and looked at the ring on his hand, and said embarrassedly: "This is all rewarded by the emperor, and the slave maid thought about how the emperor's reward could exceed the rules, so she dared to wear it." ”
"Lan Cairen is careless, the emperor's reward is a reward, but he has not decreed that you are allowed to wear it, you can also put it away! Well, now that the queen has decreed that you can dress up as you like, others won't be able to figure out your mistakes. ”
Lan Xi was full of surprise: "Thank you for your grace!" Niangniang means that the slave can dress up casually in the future? ”
The queen smiled and nodded: "Of course, although the palace is not as good as the emperor's word, but it is also true to the word, if so, you go and bring out the reward for the Lancai people, remember to add a pair of white pearl heads, these elegant and luxurious ornaments are more lined with Lancai people than real money." There is also a bead-gray Ruyi Yunjin, the palace is old, and I can't wear such a dark color anymore, Lan Cairen's youth and beauty must be good, and I will appreciate it together! ”
Lin Ruoruo turned around and went in, Lan Xi thanked her, and said in a whisper: "The slave begs the queen for something!" ”
"You are a meritorious man, say it, as long as this palace can do it, I will definitely agree!"
Lan Xiqiao's face flushed: "The slave maid wants to ask Niang Niang En to bring hot water to the bathroom in the office, if the emperor comes again, it will be more convenient to bathe......" until you bow your head.
Queen Gui tightly grasped the armrest of the phoenix chair, not letting her emotions be revealed, Lan Xi saw that she was silent, and said a little timidly: "If you don't follow the rules, forget it, the slave maid is also to better keep the emperor, so as to help Niang Niang defeat Hua Guifei, not any selfishness." And in the room bath, the slave is afraid of soaking the wooden floor......"
Lan Xi suddenly remembered the absurdity of the two in the bathtub, and blushed. Empress Gui remembered that when the henchmen came to report the first time they cleaned up the Lancai people's lounge yesterday, the clothes inside were thrown all over the ground, even the pillow towels and silk handkerchiefs were stained and thrown on the ground, and the bedding was spotted and messy.
And at that time, they sent a large bucket of hot water in, and they thought that the two of them would come out after washing, but who knew that from the afternoon... It wasn't until five o'clock that I finished bathing, and the second time I went in to clean it, the barrel was so big, and in order to add hot water halfway, there wasn't a lot of water, but it overflowed all over the floor, probably into the barrel together.
Her hand grasped tighter, but she still smiled and said: "This is very easy to do, Linlang Palace is very close to the Peach Blossom Soup House, just attract hot water and add a double bath bucket!" Hongu is ready! You are so loyal to do things for this palace, how can this palace not treat you well? ”
At this time, Lin Ruoruo came over with a reward, Lan Xi couldn't help grabbing the silver ingot, and said while grateful: "Fortunately, the slave maid had the foresight this morning and brought all the three girls, let them take them back!" It's almost time to go to work, and the slave maid goes to work in Linlang Palace! ”
After saying goodbye and leaving, Queen Gui stared at her back and instantly sank her face: "Ruoruo, do you say that she really doesn't know how to be introverted?" ”
Lin Ruoruo thought for a while and said: "The slave maid sees that Lan Cai is smart and capable, and she is talented, so she shouldn't be so ostentatious, but this is indeed her usual style of acting, whether it was the queen mother who reused her at that time, or the queen mother treated her well, she was high-profile and flamboyant, and never thought of restraint, maybe this is her style of acting." ”
Empress Gui snorted and sneered a few times, and a disdainful smile appeared on her face: "What a smart and capable, but it's just lucky to get someone else's true inheritance!" Even if she is talented, it doesn't mean that she has scheming, talent and scheming are two different things! Such a person can be used by me, but I still have to send someone to keep an eye on it! Don't fool us all! ”。.。
