Chapter 62: Careful lotus leaves
At the moment, the lotus leaf guarding outside the sleeping hall of the Yilan Hall woke up quietly. As soon as the night wind blew, the chaotic brain of the lotus leaf suddenly woke up, and then handed his gaze to the place where the wind blew.
I saw that the door of the temple, which should have been tightly closed, was left with a small crack a finger's width at this time, and the cool breeze blew into the hall from there.
Lotus Ye shivered and quickly got up from the ground. He lit the candlestick at hand, put on the lampshade, and entered the dormitory.
In the shaking of the candle flame, the lotus leaf lifted the red silk bed curtain, and saw Lingxi lying on the bed, breathing calmly, sleeping soundly.
After helping Lingxi tuck the horns of the quilt, the lotus leaf let out a sigh and put his heart in his stomach. After putting down the bed curtain, the lotus leaf carried the candlestick and softly walked out of the dormitory.
The lotus leaf did not stop after leaving the dormitory, but went directly out of the Yilan Palace. There is a little eunuch on duty every night on the corridor outside the Yilan Palace, and tonight it is Xiao Dezi.
At this time, there were stars hanging in the sky, and the eastern sky had changed from dark blue to deep blue. The lotus leaves were dressed thinly, and I couldn't help but shiver again when the breeze was sent. Lotus Ye took the candlestick and walked more than a dozen steps to the cloister on the left before he saw Xiao Dezi, who was leaning against the thick corridor wood of the cloister, sleepy-eyed.
Lotus Ye was angry at the moment, stretched out her little white hand and grabbed Xiao Dezi's ear, gritted the root of her back teeth and whispered, "Your errand is getting easier and easier, you actually hide here to sleep!" ”
Xiao Dezi was shocked by the pain and woke up suddenly, and when he saw that the person who attacked him was Lotus Ye, he didn't dare to scream, so he only protected his ear with his left hand and begged softly, "Good girl, good sister, you spare me this time, and I will ask someone to bring you fresh beads from outside the palace to wear!" ”
"You don't have a heart!" The lotus leaf grabbed Xiao Dezi's ears and said fiercely, "If something goes wrong with the beauty, you and I will lose my head, and I won't be able to wear any beads and flowers you have at that time!" ”
"Good girl, I was wrong!" Xiao Dezi begged for mercy again and again, "I don't dare next time, I can't wake up the beauty at this time." ”
"And next time?" The fingertips of the lotus leaves are strained.
"No, no, there's no next time, don't dare again!"
Lotus Ye finally let go of Xiao Dezi's ears, sighed, frowned and said, "You and I are clumsy minions who can't please the master, only the beauty doesn't dislike us, and treats us as people on weekdays." If there is something wrong with a beauty, can you have a good conscience? ”
Xiao Dezi knew that he was wrong, and he didn't look up at the lotus leaf, but whispered, "I understand what you say, and I also think about the beauty." But I don't know what happened today, so I was in good spirits and fell asleep all of a sudden. I'll see you when I open my eyes again......"
Lotus Ye and Xiao Dezi are old acquaintances, knowing that he will not tell lies, and returned to the palace after a few more words.
Sitting back on the small table outside the dormitory, Lotus Ye was confused. She had to be on duty at night, and she had already slept enough during the day, but why did she fall asleep for no reason? Even if she is sleepy, why does Xiao Dezi fall asleep when she is in good spirits on weekdays?
She remembered that she had closed the door of the temple before the beauty of the warbler fell asleep, but why did the door of the temple open a small crack......
After another hour, the eastern sky gradually became white, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the Yilan Hall rose one after another. Because Lingxi hadn't woken up yet, they all washed up carefully, arranged the things Lingxi needed after getting up, and didn't dare to touch a single apex.
After another quarter of an hour, Lian Rong carefully pushed open the door of the hall and entered the Yilan Palace. After saying hello to Lotus Leaf, he stayed outside the dormitory, and Lotus Leaf went back to sleep.
Because Lingxi didn't trust the two new palace maids, the lotus seed and lotus leaves took turns to go to the night on weekdays, although they were tired, the two of them didn't complain.
-----------------------------------------------------
From that day on, every three or five days, Emperor Yong'an would go to the Yilan Palace to steal incense. Lingxi naturally would not refuse, firstly because the other party was the emperor, and secondly, she felt that compared with the high-ranking emperor in the Ganlu Palace, the emperor who came to her palace to steal incense at night was easier to get closer.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-September, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the spirit rhino had been grounded for a whole month. Duo Baolin was named a Duocai person of the fifth grade on the fifth day of the ninth month. And on the same day, Chun Meiren slipped tires again. After two small months, Chun Meiren's body is not as good as before, although Emperor Yong'an often goes to see her, he is not as good as before.
When the concubines in the entire harem were speculating about who destroyed the dragon fetus in Chun Meiren's womb, Lingxi was in the center of the study of Yilan Hall
Most of the two hundred times of "Women's Ring" and "Women's Training" Lingxi have come out, although Emperor Yong'an said that she doesn't have to work so hard, but Lingxi is still there at all. It's just because the will to punish her was not made by Emperor Yong'an alone, and there was also Empress Zhu among them. If she can't pay her feet 200 times after the lockdown is lifted, I'm afraid that another March ban awaits her.
Lingxi was tired, so he put down the pen to rest and eat tea. But when he looked up, he found that the lotus leaf who was waiting for the pen and ink looked at him and lost his mind, and his watery eyes revealed seven points of horror and three points of doubt.
Lingxi called the lotus leaf twice but did not respond, so he picked up the brush and clicked a small black dot on the forehead of the lotus leaf, and before he could react, he drew another one. It wasn't until he drew a plum blossom lotus leaf on the forehead of the lotus leaf that he didn't react, and the spirit rhino couldn't help laughing.
The lotus leaf came back to her senses, and asked Lingxi with a confused look in her eyes, "What is the beauty laughing at?" ”
As if feeling an itch on his forehead, the lotus leaf touched it with his hand, and touched the ink on his forehead when he did it, and Lingxi smiled even more happily.
Lotus Ye looked at his little hand, was shocked, and hurriedly went to take a picture of the water mirror again. When I saw the black on my forehead, I understood what was going on, so I also burst out laughing.
Lingxi rubbed his stomach and sat down, beckoned to Lotus Leaf and said, "Okay, okay, don't laugh, what were you thinking just now?" All distracted. ”
As soon as Lotus Ye heard Lingxi's words, his face turned white, in stark contrast to the jet black on his forehead.
Lingxi put away his smile, looked at the lotus leaf with watery eyes, and asked in a slightly cold voice, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”
Lingxi is very kind to palace maids and eunuchs on weekdays, because she is a palace maid and has suffered those inhumane hardships. But when it comes to ruthlessness, she will not be soft.
Lotus Ye hesitated for a while, and suddenly knelt down in front of Lingxi with a pop, "Slave and maid should die, slave and maid should die!" ”
"Since you know it's damn, tell me the cause and effect!"
Lotus Ye kowtowed to Lingxi, ran out of the study under Lingxi's doubts, ran back in the blink of an eye, closed the door of the study, knelt in front of Lingxi again, and said slowly, "Beauty, this matter has been talked about half a month ago." There was a night when the slave and maid were on duty, but I didn't know why I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I saw that the door of the temple that had been closed was actually open......"
Lingxi nodded slightly, motioning for Lotus Ye to continue. If Lingxi is not mistaken, it should have been Emperor Yong'an who came that night, not only the lotus leaves, but also the entire Yilan Palace's minions slept.
"When the slave woke up, she immediately went into the dormitory to check, and when she saw that the beauty was fine, she went out."
"It's not a big deal, maybe the wind blew the door open. You're just going to be a little bit smarter, and you need to scare you like this? Lingxi knew that the fault was not in the lotus leaf, so he didn't think about punishing the lotus leaf.
Lotus Ye's eyes flickered, as if he had made a great determination in his heart, he kowtowed to Lingxi, and said with tears in his eyes, "Beauty, the slave maid has been poor since she was a child, and she was sold into the palace by human traffickers. The slave maid has not lived a day since she entered the palace, until she was assigned to the Yilan Hall to serve the beauty. On weekdays, you are good to the palace people, and the slaves and maids are all in your eyes and in your hearts. Other people's slaves don't know, but slaves and maids will never betray beauties! ”
Saying that, he kowtowed two more heads, and without waiting for Lingxi to reply, he said, "Since that day, the slave and maid have suspected that the servants in the temple are not clean hands and feet, and they have entered the temple at night to steal things, but the slave and maid found that the items in the palace have never been missing......"
"So the slave and maid will make some marks on the temple door whenever they are on duty at night, and the slave and maid find that as long as the slave and maid fall asleep and wake up for no reason during the night, there must be something abnormal ......in the temple gate," said the lotus leaf, the more pale his face became. When she was sure that there was something abnormal in the door of the palace, she watched the movement of the Yilan Hall night and night, until one day, that night was the lotus seed on duty, and the lotus leaf somehow woke up in the middle of the night. She saw through the window that a figure in the moonlight had entered the Yilan Palace, and soon the sound of men and women loving came from the Yilan Palace. Although Lotus Ye is young, after all, he has been taught by the palace rules, and he has been to the Manna Hall with the Lingxi, so he naturally understands what it means. From that day on, Lotus Ye's heart began to become apprehensive, she was afraid that she would find out that the secret of the warbler beauty would be known by the warbler beauty, but at the same time, she was afraid that the secret of the warbler beauty would be known by others.
Lingxi listened to the lotus leaf's words, although there was still a slight smile on his face, but his heart was getting colder and colder. She didn't expect Lotus Ye to be so careful, if Lotus Leaf was a spy sent by someone else......
There was a hint of ruthlessness in Lingxi's heart, and his white right hand clenched into a fist in the wide sleeve.
Lotus Ye closed her eyes and said to Lingxi with a pale face, "Beauty, the slave will definitely not tell me about this." If you don't feel at ease, even if you execute the slave and the slave, you won't complain! ”
Lingxi's hand in her sleeve trembled a little, and after a long time, she spoke up, "Why don't you tell the other concubines about this?" It's a great opportunity to get a reward, and there's no fear that I'll get angry with you if I know about it. ”
Lotus Ye shook her head again and again, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes, "Slave, slave has never thought about it that way." The beauty is the master, and the slave is the slave of the beauty. The slave never thought of betraying her master. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
