Qiao'er picked up a golden hairpin with a tail in her makeup, which was the one that Tuoba Chen personally put on her hairpin when Lan Ruo was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qiao'er even felt as if there was still residual warmth left on it, she subconsciously wanted to put the golden hairpin back, Lan Ruo saw it, and said lightly: "That's it." ”

Qiao'er Nuonuo replied yes, and carefully inserted the hairpin into Lan Ruo's bun, Lan Ruo looked at it in the bronze mirror, and raised a dignified smile with satisfaction.

She only felt as if her life had not been so relaxed for a long time, the woman was driven to the cold palace, Xu Qing'er was in the Bingquan Palace because of her poor health, she shrank in the Ice Spring Palace and did not come out, although His Majesty occasionally went to take a look, but he only sat for a while, and did not leave his master.

In this way, on the contrary, he stayed in himself and the Lanxin Palace more often, and the eldest prince was raised in the palace of Concubine De, and rarely left the palace, so after calculation, isn't this harem much cleaner?

Qiao'er helped Lan Ruo to get up and sat down on the right seat, and the little eunuch knelt down in time, raised a roster in his hand above his head, and said slowly: "Queen Mother, this is the list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs newly drawn up to go to Zhaohua Temple this time, and I also invite Niangniang to take a look." ”

Lan Ruo smiled slowly and said: "The internal affairs government is doing things, this palace has always been at ease, this time, the main thing is to pray for Shuzhong, everything can't be sloppy, can you know?" ”

Although he said it, he still took the roster and flipped through it casually, suddenly the hand that turned the book froze there, the gentle smile between his eyebrows slowly faded, and he gradually became angry, Qiao'er noticed that something was wrong, and glanced at the place where Lan Ruo's eyes were staring, only to see He Xi's name appear on it.

Lan Ruo took a deep breath, and she said coldly: "This Xicai person has committed a crime, and now she has been punished by His Majesty to the Qiulu Palace, and she is the same abandoned concubine, why is there her name on it?" ”

Seeing that the queen's face changed, the little eunuch did not dare to slack off, and replied respectfully: "The queen mother doesn't know something, this list is sent to His Majesty first, and at first the prince also had the same idea as the mother, and did not fill in the name of Xicairen, but Gonggong Fu said that praying for Shuzhong is the responsibility of the entire royal family of the calendar, even if Xicairen is demoted, he should do his best for Shuzhong." ”

The little eunuch replied unhurriedly, Lan Ruo's heart was indeed turning a thousand times, although Fuqing was the chief manager, but in this matter, if there was no indication from His Majesty, he would not dare to do it if he was given a hundred dares.

Thinking of this, she closed the roster in her hand again, and said: "Since this is the case, then follow the list above, since Xicai is also among the travelers, she lightly clicked some clothes that fit her position and sent them over, and when she goes out, she is not as good as the palace, so she has to lose the face of the royal family." ”

The little eunuch smacked the queen's words between his lips and teeth, and he heard a different meaning, he peeked at the queen, only to see that the queen's face was faintly cold, and he was trying his best to suppress it, he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the slave knows how to do it." ”

After saying that, he saluted and took his leave.

Because of this sentence, the queen couldn't help but look at him more, only to see that he was still young, and he thought that he had not been in the palace on an errand for a few years, so he could observe words and feelings, and he would be useful in the future.

Lan Ruo said: "Qiao'er, go out and send it." ”

Qiao'er understood, and hurriedly chased out, the little eunuch's footsteps were also fast, and he had already arrived at the palace gate in a moment's time, Qiao'er quickened her pace, and said in a loud voice: "Father-in-law and slow-"

When the little eunuch heard someone calling him, he stopped, turned around and saw Qiao'er panting and catching up, a pink face turned red, like a ripe apple in autumn, the little eunuch only felt very good-looking, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Qiao'er didn't realize it, she gasped, and then said with a smile: "I don't know my father-in-law's name yet-"

The little eunuch hurriedly smiled and said, "The slave's name is Sun Xiang, and the Qiao'er girl calls me Xiao Xiangzi." ”

He couldn't help but show some simple smiles in his demeanor, Qiao'er was amused by him and laughed out loud, and said: "The queen mother appreciates her father-in-law, and her father-in-law is in a hurry, so my mother asked me to send some reward money to my father-in-law." ”

While speaking, he took out two taels of silver from his cuffs and put them in Sun Xiang's palm, Sun Xiang hurriedly saluted in the direction of Weiyang Palace, thanked Niangniang for her grace, and then said with a smile: "If Miss Qiao'er has nothing to do, the slave will retire first, the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office are complicated, and please forgive the girl." ”

Qiao'er saw that he was polite, and for a while she also felt that Sun Xiang, if the queen wanted to be promoted, she would definitely have a bright future in the future.

As soon as Sun Xiang was sent away, Qiao'er saw a few people in front of her in pink clothes and green shadows coming in the direction of Weiyang Palace, and the little eunuch was carrying a sedan chair with a brisk pace, it was Lan Xin.

Qiao'er simply waited at the gate of the palace, Lan Xin arrived, and when she saw Qiao'er, her expression was a little anxious, but she still had that lofty look, she glanced at Qiao'er coldly and said, "Sister Queen, but in the palace?" The palace has something to discuss with my sister. ”

Qiao'er smiled and said: "Niangniang should be eating at this time, and Concubine Hui Niangniang came with the slave maid." ”

Entering the main hall, sure enough, she saw Lan Ruo having breakfast, Qiao'er stepped forward quickly, took the bowl from the hand of the little palace maid, and slowly stirred the lotus root soup with a silver spoon after half a bowl of lotus root soup, and waited until it felt warm, and then put it in Lan Ruo's hand.

Lan Xin showed the salute, and then found a chair and said, "Sister is really leisurely, if I were my sister, I might not even be able to use breakfast at this time." ”

Lan Ruo's fingers only trembled slightly, but it was only a pause, and then she returned to normal, and she said in a gentle tone: "So you are not me, maybe you will never be me." ”

This is a meaning, Lan Xin's eyes flashed, and she was a little disdainful, she said: "My sister is in a high position, so naturally she can't compare to a favorite concubine like us, but the embankment of a thousand miles can still collapse in the anthill, so sister should be careful." ”

Lan Ruo didn't make a sound until she finished eating, and Qiao'er said after gargling her mouth and cleaning her hands: "You are so anxious, it's not just to remind the palace that the embankment of thousands of miles has collapsed in the anthill." ”

Lan Xin fiddled with her slender armor, and knew that now was not the time to be angry with Lan Ruo, so she straightened up and said, "These days, Your Majesty always shoots Father-in-law Fu to go to the imperial dining room to get some food an hour or two after dinner. And it's not a simple pastry, it also comes with some main dishes, and the portion looks like it's eaten by a few people. ”

"Oh? How did you find out about this? Lan Ruo looked at Lan Xin in some surprise.

Lan Xin was stunned, as if she didn't expect Lan Ruo's focus to be here, she said curtly: "This is not a novelty, my sister wants to find out, so naturally she can find it." ”

Lan Ruo looked at Lan Xin, and said with some sarcasm in her smile: "My sister is really well-intentioned, but since my sister went to investigate, she found something." ”

Lan Ruo took a sip of the flower tea in his hand, I heard that this flower tea was newly picked in the imperial field, and it couldn't be better for beauty and beauty, and it was personally rewarded by His Majesty.

"Naturally, I found out, all those foods were sent to the Qiulu Palace, and they were given to that fox, she really has a way, they have already reached this point, and they can even attract His Majesty's attention."

Lan Xin's tone was sullen, obviously a little really angry, Lan Ruo put down the tea cup in his hand, and only felt that Fang Cai still felt some sweet flower tea, but at this time, there was a bitter taste between his lips and teeth.

She sighed and said, "What is this?" It's just a few dishes, and the really powerful thing is that there is her name on the list sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Zhaohua Temple today. ”

"What did my sister say?" Lan Xin stood up from the chair in surprise, her voice was a little harsh, and she sneered after a while: "It seems that our Xicai person is really not simple, and I don't know how Concubine Xu Shu would feel if she knew?" ”

Lan Xin's tone was a little yin and yang, and she couldn't tell if it was jealousy or because of something.

Lan Ruo looked at Lan Xin like this, although she was not comfortable in her heart, she was always much more comfortable, she said: "What can Concubine Xu Shu do, her father has resigned and been exiled, and now her situation in the palace may not be much better than He Xi, maybe what she can do now is to keep the child in her womb, which is her only life charm." ”

Lan Xin saw that Lan Ruo was not salty or light, and became more and more annoyed: "What big deal can Concubine Xu Shu have, even if Xu Shao doesn't have this kind of thing, I'm not afraid of her, the main thing is this He Xi, sister, how can you sit still?" ”

Her words are quite hateful, and iron is not steel.

Lan Ruo just sighed and said: "If you can sit still, if you can't sit still, you don't have to sit here in this palace, which of us can change Your Majesty's opinion?" ”

Lan Xin got up in an atmosphere and said, "Then my sister wishes my sister to sit on this phoenix seat forever, carefree." As soon as she flicked her sleeves, she didn't have a good amount of etiquette, and with a gust of incense, she fluttered away.

Qiao'er stood in place, looked at Lan Xin's back, and said softly: "Niangniang, do you really let that Xi talent go away?" ”

Lan Ruo's thoughts were still lingering on Tuoba Chen's instructing Fuqing to send food to Qiulu Palace, she pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a low voice: "She is indeed not to be underestimated, but now His Majesty's interest in her is strong, and the last time the incident was so big, it has only been a few months, and she has been entangled like a revived snake, for this kind of person, either not move, or hit with a blow, so that she will never turn over." ”

Her eyes were heavy, and there was an undercurrent surging in it, and Qiao'er said again: "But the posture of Concubine Hui Niangniang——"

"It's up to her to make trouble, and it's her reputation that makes trouble left and right." Lan Ruo smiled.
