After Lin Yuan returned to the palace, he ate, drank and slept as usual. In the evening of this day, the emperor did not pass on the bed, but there was a lot of excitement in the palace.

In short, it's Jiaguiren's business. Bai Xiuwei was still smashing the cup in her bedroom.

This matter has nothing to do with Lin Yuan. But in the afternoon of the second day, a father-in-law entered the Jingyue Pavilion with the edict of Changle Palace.

Lin Yuan respectfully accepted Yi's order, and did not hide the look of surprise on her face, and asked the princess: "Didn't the Queen Mother only announce the three nobles?" ”

Eunuch Liu smiled and said: "In short, it is the meaning of the Queen Mother, little master, you should pick up quickly, follow our family." ”

Lin Yuan saw that his mouth was tight, and he didn't ask anymore, and raised his hand to tell Chu Xue and them to make up themselves.

Seeing that Eunuch Liu politely retreated outside the hall to wait, the palace people serving in a room couldn't hide their joy. Xiao Guizi stepped forward and said repeatedly: "The Queen Mother actually summoned our little master, it must be the little master who has the blue eyes of the Queen Mother......"

Chu Xue glanced at him silently, and Xiao Guizi immediately lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

Lin Yuan said lightly: "The thoughts of the Queen Mother are not something we can guess. If you dare to say anything like this again, let's get out of the Mirror Moon Pavilion. ”

All the subordinates knew the majesty of Lin Yuan's control, and knew that she could do what she said, so they held their breath for a while and didn't dare to speak.

Chu Xue stood quietly behind her, scattering Lin Yuan's hair and giving her a hair cream.

After a while, Chu Xue's fingers stopped between her hair, and she asked with some hesitation, "Little master...... Do you want to follow the attire of yesterday's nobles? ”

Lin Yuan paused slightly, and said, "That's it, let's just dress like usual." ”

Lin Yuan didn't think that a plain outfit was a good idea.

Jiaguiren deliberately tried to please the Queen Mother, just to chase fame and fortune, where would there be a bit of sincerity? And for the Queen Mother, who has been immersed in the harem for more than 30 years, she has never seen what kind of methods, and what kind of people have not seen it. Lin Yuan didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to see this kind of deliberateness.

In fact, Lin Yuan couldn't figure out the queen mother's thoughts, and she didn't understand why she fell in love with Jia Guiren, why she passed on the concubine to serve in the past, and why she added herself.

For now, we can only proceed with caution.

Lin Yuan quickly picked up and stopped, and followed Eunuch Liu to Changle Palace.

When she arrived at Changle Palace, she was still greeted by the grandmother from yesterday, Lin Yuan knew her surname He this time, and everyone in the palace called her Mama Yun.

Those who can mix the word "zhi" around the queen mother are all those who followed the queen mother when they were young, and they dare not slack off in either the Changle Palace or the East and West Six Palaces. Lin Yuan left a bottom for Zhiyun in her heart.

Thinking about it, the Queen Mother is indeed too quiet, Zhiyun is a decent palace maid, but she only does the errand of passing on words, which shows how few people are waiting in Changle Palace.

Lin Yuan gathered his mind and entered the main hall, and the first snow that accompanied him was led down by Zhiyun and waited.

There was a young woman's tactful voice in the hall, and the three of Jiaguiren were rumored earlier than Lin Yuan, and they were already laughing with the Queen Mother at this time. Lin Yuan took a look after coming in, and sure enough, these three were as plain as yesterday.

When Jia Gui and Wang Chengyi saw Lin Yuan, they couldn't hide their surprise on their faces, and then they turned into annoyance. Lin Yuan looked at them like this and knew that they had not received the news that they would come to Changle Palace before.

Come to think of it, how rare is the opportunity to serve in front of the Queen Mother, who wants to add one more competitor to themselves? This is the same as the principle of competing for the emperor's favor.

Lin Yuan knelt down to greet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother simply swept her gaze and saw that she was dressed in a Hunan concubine-colored beaded plum blossom embroidered palace dress, and was noncommittal, only nodded and motioned for her to get up.

didn't say a word, didn't have any comments on her outfit, and couldn't see any joy and anger in her eyes, such an inexplicable coldness and gratuitous end gave people a feeling of oppression. This is the majesty of the Queen Mother.

Lin Yuan exhaled before getting up. She only knew that she was ordered to serve, but she didn't know what to do. At this time, the Queen Mother was holding a Buddhist scripture and leaning on the couch to see, Jia Guiren held a jade pot to refill the tea cup in the Queen Mother's hand, and every time the Queen Mother raised her hand, she would obediently hold the tea cup with both hands, and at the same time lose no time in reminding the Queen Mother to pay attention to eye pain and so on; Wang Chengyi peeled pine nuts for the Queen Mother on the side; Ye Chengyi was not in front of the Queen Mother, but in front of Duobaoge in the northwest corner of the room, he was looking for Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother.

Lin Yuan looked at them like this, and felt that there was no work in this house that needed to be done by herself.

But it's not right to stand stupidly by the wall. If you ask the queen mother to say "what am I doing", then it is even more inappropriate, serving people has always been to be clever and have eyes to make the master comfortable, rather than asking the master what he should do.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, went around to the back of the queen mother's couch and winked at the palace maid holding the fan, and the palace maid willingly handed the fan into Lin Yuan's hand.

Jia Guiren and Wang Chengyi couldn't help but look up at her in some surprise. Playing a fan is the most thankless job, because you need to hold the fan with both hands in front of Feng Jia, and your hands are always on the way. Unless it is a palace maid who has been trained all year round, no one can stand it for a few hours. What's more, this fan-making work is behind people, and the Queen Mother can't see it, so she is willing to give up the opportunity to show her face when she finally comes to Changle Palace, and only be a silent slave?

Lin Yuan held the fan with both hands without saying a word, and slowly fought, exactly the same as the palace maid's movements.

Wang Chengyi curiously secretly raised his eyes to look at her, looking at her movements, he couldn't help but smile at Jiaguiren. This Lin seems to be really brainless! Looking at her wearing those brightly colored clothes, I thought she was trying to go off the rails, but looking at her actions now, it was more like she was really stupid. Since you came here to serve the queen mother as a concubine, you have to serve better than the palace maid, but the Lin family replaced the palace maid's duties but did exactly the same as the palace maid, so what use do you want?

The two of them snickered in their hearts, and the work of serving them became even harder. Peeling pine nuts is faster, and the spout of pouring tea is raised higher.

The four young girls each had their own thoughts, and the Queen Mother was just lying casually, her eyes fixed on the Buddhist scriptures.

The Queen Mother has been reading the book for a long time, and the four of them have also done a long time. After some time, Ye Chengyi came back with two books. She bent down in front of the couch, holding the book in both hands in front of the Queen Mother, and did not speak.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but squint at her. Don't speak, do you? Jia Gui and Wang Chengyi were about to speak when they had the opportunity, and they were bent on making the Queen Mother happy.

The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at the book in Ye Chengyi's hand, "um", reached out and took the one on it, and said, "Find another copy of the "Myoho-renge-kyo". ”

Ye Chengyi went down in response. Lin Yuan looked at the books on the top of the Duobaoge and was a little embarrassed, these ancient Buddhist scriptures were all classified and placed in the box one by one, and the box rested on the counter of the Duobaoge on the third or fourth floor, and it was known by visual inspection that each box was at least the weight of a bucket of water. In order to find the books that the Queen Mother needs, you have to move them down and put them up one by one, and you can't make a little sound, let alone smash them, this kind of work is generally done by eunuchs.

It seems that Ye Chengyi's life is not easy. Jia Gui and Wang Chengyi formed a faction, and they specially picked up the most faceless and easy work, presumably Ye Chengyi was also preempted by the two of them, and he didn't know what to do but take the position of a eunuch.

The Queen Mother put down the book in her hand and began to look through the one that Ye Chengyi had just gotten. In the process of getting up, Lin Yuan saw the Queen Mother inadvertently tuck her shirt.

Lin Yuan immediately stopped fanning, and at the same time walked to the side of the magpie-tail-shaped brown glazed lid stove, and used fire tongs to clip a piece of charcoal into it. She felt a little relieved, the fan was really tired after more than an hour, she was barely persevering, but fortunately she didn't have to fight anymore now.

The Queen Mother lifted her eyelids and glanced at Lin Yuan, a smile appeared on her face for the first time, and she said to Lin Yuan: "After playing a fan for a long time, you are also tired, go down to help the mourning family order dinner." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly answered, saluted and walked out of the palace gate. The remaining three girls in the hall looked at her back in disbelief - the Queen Mother didn't speak much this afternoon, even if Jia Gui and Wang Chengyi talked funny, at most they said "um" twice. Why did Lin Yuan come here, and the Queen Mother actually said something of concern?

A low-ranking concubine came to serve the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother still cared if she was tired?

Is it too consequence to be extra affectionate to her?

Lin Yuan went to the side hall to find the lady in charge of Changle Palace and told her that the queen mother was going to pass on the dinner, and the task was completed. When she returned to the main hall, the queen mother said, "Okay, I won't keep you today, just go back." ”

So all four of them withdrew. Mama Zhiyun had already led their respective palace maids to wait outside.

Wang Chengyi and Jia Guiren were the first to go out of the hall, and the two of them followed together to talk small words as usual. Ye Chengyi, who fell at the end, bit his lip, stepped forward to Lin Yuan and said, "The residence of the little master of beauty and the concubine are in the same direction, can you go the same way?" ”

Lin Yuan saw that she said respectfully, it was much more comfortable than the last time when Jiagui kept saying that she was sisters, so it was not easy to refute. Ye Chengyi was overjoyed, so he followed Lin Yuan together, but there was nothing to say along the way.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, she thought that Ye Xiuxin would take the opportunity to talk to her to find out how she liked the Queen Mother. I didn't think she had this heart.

Lin Yuan didn't think that she was born silent, but what she could be sure of was that she was a calm person. Look at the two Jia Gui and Wang Chengyi in front of them, they were talking and looking back at themselves from time to time, obviously because they had just gotten a word of concern from the Queen Mother, and because they had already made a bad relationship with themselves, they were embarrassed to ask.

Ye Xiuxin's actions were just to show that she wanted to be friends with Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan did not object and even somewhat agreed with such an alliance, they would often come to Changle Palace in the future, the two of them had already formed a faction, and it was always not good to be alone.
