Chapter Seventy-Eight: Lian Ji (II)

He Lianji's eyes were fierce, and she actually raised the rattan again and wanted to knock it down, and said: "An Lingji and let it go, the sin of this palace maid cannot be forgiven!" The concubine is still merciful, only beat her a few times, if the emperor knows that she broke the concubine's hairpin, she will be executed in anger. ”

said this, but the movement of his hand was extremely fast, and a cane shone down fiercely, hitting An Lingji's back impartially.

An Lingji screamed in pain, and He Lianji was surprised: "Ah, why don't Lingji hide!" You see, I just didn't have an accurate head in my hand, and I accidentally missed it again! ”

An Lingji's gaze looked at her like a sharp blade. Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly, but she didn't step forward to stop it.

Seeing that He Lianji was going to fight for the second time, Lin Yuan said lightly: "It's really boring." An Lingji turned out to be a weak and incompetent person, so strange that she was bullied. He asked left and right: "An's and He's are equal, right?" Why is An so jealous of her, and he doesn't dare to resist! ”

When An Shi heard this, her eyes were stunned, and in the next moment, she reached out and grabbed the rattan in He Lianji's hand.

Although the position is the same, the He family is very favored, and in Su Ri, where does she dare to compete with the He family. But today, with Hui Concubine here, her courage has also increased.

He Lianji was a little annoyed, and An Lingji raised her voice and instructed the palace maids around her: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Hurry up and carry Cai Han back, are you still waiting for Lian Ji to be killed! ”

"Lingji!" He Lianji gritted her teeth: "Ling Ji has also learned to shield his subordinates!" My hairpin ......"

The palace maid beside her was holding a hosta broken into three in both hands.

"Enough, let's go, the emperor should be in a hurry." Lin Yuan yawned and said lazily: "I watched a farce in vain, it's really noisy." But He Lianji's hairpin looks at the water head very well, is it really from the Tianshan Mountains? Chu Xue, you remember it to the concubine, and when you go back, the concubine will also go to the emperor to ask for a hairpin like that......"

He walked away without looking back.

An Lingji was a little stunned, looking at Concubine Hui's appearance, did she refuse to help her?

But what Concubine Hui said...... It clearly means that she doesn't have to be afraid of He's.

She bit her lip and stopped talking. Seeing that the He family was fierce and spicy, she turned around and ordered the palace people: "Go back to the palace!" Take the pickers back! ”

He Lianji was angry behind her, and stomped her feet and said, "This concubine will definitely go and tell the emperor!" broke the concubine's hairpin, hum ......"

***

In fact, if it was in normal times, An Lingji would never dare to turn his face with He Lianji. In this palace, the emperor's favor is more important than position, He Lianji can blow a little pillow wind in front of the emperor, and she can take half her life.

The hairpin, if He Lianji added oil and vinegar to report it, the emperor heard it, and he didn't know what would happen...... An Lingji also wanted to ask the emperor to uphold justice, but she was not favored, and she didn't know who the emperor would believe.

An Lingji returned to the palace here, still uneasy in her heart. According to He's temperament, he will never give up, and it is unknown whether Concubine Hui can shelter her at that time.

An Lingji was uneasy, thought about it, gritted her teeth and instructed the palace maid of her henchman: "Go and take out the 'jade face hibiscus paste' and send it to the Scarlet Smoke Building of Huayang Palace." ”

The palace maid was startled: "Little master, there are only two boxes of those things, and you don't have enough for yourself!" Furthermore, the secret recipe of 'Jade Mask Hibiscus Cream' is an ancestral heirloom of the An family, how can it be revealed to outsiders......"

"The palace is not as good as elsewhere, now that the He clan has bullied me to such an extent, if it goes on like this, not to mention Caihan's life, I can't save my own life!" What happened to the woman who fell out of favor in the palace, An Lingji didn't know. She stood up, with deep hatred and sadness in her eyes: "No matter how good the 'Jade Face Hibiscus Cream' is, it is just something outside the body, and Concubine Hui will be really willing to help me when she gets this." Now I have no other way to live than to beg her. ”

And Lin Yuan carried things to Jianzhang Palace as usual. Tuoba Hong was not in the study, An Gui led Lin Yuan to the inner room, and saw Tuoba Hong dressed in a brocade robe, and his freshly washed black hair was wet and hanging down to his ears, looking at him with the feeling of an idle and uninhibited nobleman.

He beckoned to Lin Yuan and said with a smile: "Why are you late today?" I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I'll go to the bath first. He also advised: "If you feel tired, don't run back and forth, you are really idle and panicked, go to listen to the play with Qi Ronghua and them, why do you have to drill in the kitchen all day and rush over to deliver food against the sun." ”

Lin Yuan sat idly beside him, and said with a smile: "Concubines don't like to listen to dramas, it's very boring." I still cook for the emperor every day, I am happy in my heart, and I pass the time. ”

Tuoba Hong knows her temperament, she is sixteen or seventeen years old, but she is a very idle person, and she doesn't like the ordinary things in the palace. Now that she is pregnant, she still has to cook because she is inconvenient, and she has not been persuaded by herself.

Lin Yuan's cooking skills are not good, but she has a lot of thoughts, and she will always come up with a bunch of novel meals. Whenever she took something, she was sometimes surprised, but more often it was frightenedβ€”but Takubahiro was so good at it that even if she made something unpalatable, it was fun to taste.

"So what is today?" There were already palace people around him who stepped forward to set up a meal, and took out dishes one by one from two huge food boxes. Tuoba Hong pointed to one of the sweet white porcelain bowls containing thick white soup and asked, and reached out to caress Lin Yuan's delicate neck bone.

"Well, it's just a lily boiled with pumpkin and crucian carp...... Lin Yuan was itchy by him, his neck shrank away from his hand, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't ......do it like this."

"You've got eight months in your belly, right? It's a pity that I'll have to wait another two months. Tuoba Hong regretted: "You little goblin, do you know how anxious I waited......"

"There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and it is inconvenient for the concubines to serve for a while, so the emperor is fortunate to invite others." Lin Yuan said in a low voice: "I heard that Lian Ji He is very fond of the emperor, and she is the most fortunate one in the past few days, and even faintly overpowered Concubine Tian." ”

Tuoba Hong didn't know Lin Yuan's thoughts, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist and comfort: "It's just a He family, and it's still worth my Yuan'er to be jealous?" Said and smiled: "Don't worry, no one can match you in my heart." The He family is just new to the palace, and I am fresh. ”

"Where, the He family is young and beautiful, and men will like it when they see it." Lin Yuan's cherry mouth pouted slightly, which provoked Tuoba Hong to take a peck and said with a smile: "It's really delicious!" So good, I won't spoil her anymore, are you happy? You came late today, could it be that you met He's family, and you don't like to delay, right? ”

Lin Yuan glanced at him: "The emperor will say stupid things!" Although the concubine is jealous and hateful, it is only a concubine room, where can the emperor snub the He family for the sake of the concubine's happiness! Moreover, if the He family has a lot of favors and can give birth, it is also a blessing for our Great Qin. ”

said and lowered her voice again: "The concubine did meet her today...... She has a good appearance, a thin figure, and a slender beauty at first glance. ”

"What, she ran into you?" Tuoba Hong was so keen, there was already a trace of annoyance in his voice.

Lin Yuan shook his head again and again: "No." The concubine was just passing by, and Lian Ji was beating An Lingji's palace maid for a hairpin. ”

Tuoba Hong stretched out his hand to take the bowl of lily soup served by the palace people, and said lightly: "If the subordinate makes a mistake, it is good to take him to the Shen Criminal Division, but the He family's temperament is indeed a little more coquettish." ”

There was no mention of An Lingji in his words. In Tuoba Hong's heart, such a woman who can't get the one he likes will not have the slightest attention.

Whether you are favored in the palace or not, there is really a world of difference in treatment.

He Lianji's temperament, Tuoba Hong still likes it. The He family's maiden name is Jiuyang, she is the youngest daughter of the He family, she has been very favored since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to restrain herself when she enters the palace. But there are more meek and humble women beside Tuoba Hong, and one more rude and willful is also interesting.

"She has the emperor's favor, and it doesn't hurt to be a little tricky." Lin Yuan followed Tuoba Hong's words, paused and said, "It's just the hairpin in her hand...... The concubine looked like the Lantian jade produced in the Xihu Lake of the Tianshan Mountains. He Lianji lost her temper for that hairpin and almost beat An Lingji's palace maid to death. ”

When Tuoba Hong heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's just a hairpin, and it's worth Yuan'er's anger?" On that day, the He family always pestered me, and I rewarded her on impulse. Xihu Lantian Jade, if you like it, there is still it in the treasury of the Shanggong Bureau, and I will reward you. ”

"Forget it, the jade produced in Xihu is enjoyed by the concubines and above. The concubine didn't want everyone in the palace to accuse her of being pampered and arrogant. Lin Yuan lowered his head slightly, and suddenly laughed again: "Why don't the emperor reward the Yongchang jasper that Nanzhao paid tribute to the concubines?" Although Yongchang jasper is not as precious as Lantian jade, its color is almost the same. Summer is coming, and the concubines like that translucent emerald green. ”

There was a warm color in Tuoba Hong's eyes: "Yuan'er, I know that you are sensible, but compared to He Lianji's arrogance, even if I reward Lantian Jade to you, others will not say anything." As he spoke, he hugged Lin Yuan tightly: "My will has been made, the head of the Lantian jade in the warehouse is already yours, you don't have to refuse." ”

"Although He Lianji is arrogant, it is good that she can make the emperor happy. Since the emperor insisted on giving it, the concubines were disrespectful. The head of Lantian jade must be very good-looking, and the concubine is not good to wear in front of outsiders, so in front of the emperor, 'women are the ones who please themselves'. Lin Yuan's voice was delicate, and she paused and said:

"The concubine is really sorry for the hairpin. Listening to what He said, it was An's palace maid who didn't hit her, but Leng Buding flashed out of the corner and scared her, so she dropped the hairpin. This He family is also really, a good hairpin is going to be played with in his hand, but he unfortunately met a little palace maid who didn't understand the rules and fell down. There are only a few Lantian jade ornaments in the palace, and she fell like this......"

The rest of the words Lin Yuan didn't say much, but Tuoba Hong kept laughing and coaxing her, saying that no matter what kind of precious jewelry she liked, she was in the heavenly family, and she was worried that she wouldn't get it.
