The mouth is sticky and sweet, and the heart is only a thin cold. From the most rude maid in the Forbidden City to being able to serve by Concubine Xian's side, Duo Lan only feels that she is finally lucky, she has experienced everything, and she has tried everything. The slave's life is the master's, and she has nothing to regret when she resigns her fate.

Panyu looked at her cheerful appearance, took a breath of cool air and asked, "Why don't you ask the palace to open up?" ”

"The slave can obey the mother's wishes, even if she dies, she is willing to eat." Duo Lan had tears in his eyes, but he only swirled slightly in his eyes, and he didn't flow out of his eyes in the end. It's just that I drank the sweet soup for a long time, and I didn't feel any pain.

"Go down." Panyu's voice is no longer as cold as Fang Cai, like sighing about the rush of time, and as if she sighs that she can't help herself, in short, her heart will no longer have the peace it used to be.

"Niangniang......" Duolan's eyes widened and she looked at Concubine Xian in surprise.

"You don't think white fungus sweet soup is poisonous, do you?" Pan Yu stared and smiled, half desolate and half helpless: "If this palace has the heart to want your life, why bother talking to you, just find a hair to go to the Punishment Division." It's that kind of place, it's easy to get in but hard to get out, how can you not know?

Thinking of the support and care of these years, this palace will want to ask the emperor and queen for a favor to send you out of the palace to choose a good family to marry. In the future, just live the small life of your husband and children, and be harmonious and beautiful, without worrying about food and clothing, it is much better than working hard in this Forbidden City. ”

I envy Duolan very much, at least she can get out of the blue sky in all directions. As for herself, in addition to trying her best to compete with the woman of the Sixth Palace for the favor of the only husband, she really doesn't know what else she can do.

"Thank you, mother." Duolan's lips trembled slightly, she really wanted to ask Concubine Xian, since she didn't want her to die, why couldn't she stay by her side to serve. It's a pity that she swallowed these words back after all, everyone in the palace has their own thoughts, she is just a slave, and she is powerless to change the master's mind.

Jinlan finally squeezed out a smile and walked in slowly. "Niangniang, Imperial Doctor Cao sent a decoction, and it is being warmed on the small stove in the ear room at this time."

Lan Xin put down Yongying in his arms, glanced at the thin Jinlan and worried: "Didn't you say that you should have a good rest." You have to take care of Suo Lan at night, and there are other people waiting around the palace during the day. You are still young, you don't cherish your body, and in a few years, I am afraid that any illness will be found. ”

"Thank you for your care." Jinlan's eyes were slightly hot: "The slave and maid can't sleep even when they go back, it's been three days, Suo Lan hasn't woken up yet, and the slave and maid only feel like they've been hollowed out, and it's uncomfortable." ”

"Don't worry, with Imperial Doctor Cao taking care of it personally, Suo Lan will be fine." Lan Xin knows this kind of taste, if something happens to his relatives, even if it is a small illness of typhoid fever, he will feel worried. "Suo Lan's life is hard, if there is nothing wrong at that time, he will definitely be able to recover. Hongu has asked the Imperial Pharmacy to send the best medicinal herbs to ensure that everything is safe. ”

Jinlan smiled gratefully and said sincerely: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

Xue Guining bowed in and came in, and a thousand children went down: "Niangniang, someone from the Internal Affairs Office sent a girl, saying that she was entering the Chengqian Palace to serve Concubine Xian Niangniang." It's called Ye Lan. ”

"Since it's sent to Chengqian Palace, why don't you just take it directly, what are you doing in our Changchun Palace?" Jin Lan was dissatisfied, and her voice was slightly louder: "Didn't Concubine Xian Niangniang just think that Duolan had served in our palace, so she sent people out of the palace." Isn't the emperor already gracious, since the Internal Affairs Office has chosen a slave and maid, he will hurry over to serve. Come to our palace again, won't Concubine Xian be afraid of anything unclear? ”

Lan Xin glanced at her, signaled her to be restless, and instructed Xue Guining: "Bring someone up." Taking advantage of this effort, Lan Xin had to mention Jinlan: "The emperor is partial to the concubine at this time, and the palace is very clear about various reasons." Since Concubine Xian doesn't like Duolan to serve, it's okay to choose a newcomer. It's not a big deal, why should you be so indignant. ”

"The slave knows it's wrong." Jinlan had no choice but to swallow her grievances and smile calmly: "The slave maid is just not used to the faces of those slaves in the Internal Affairs Bureau, not to mention that such a small matter has to disturb your purity, which is really annoying." ”

"It's not big or small, as long as it's something in the six palaces, this palace has to be careful." Lan Xin's words are more like saying to herself. In fact, Concubine Xian asked the Internal Affairs Office to send someone to Changchun Palace to the queen first, she must have liked this Ye Lan, no matter what her intentions were. Lan Xin only asks for a clear conscience.

"The slave maid greets the queen." Ye Lan is very good at coming to things, and when he saw the queen, he first knelt down and bowed, and gently greeted him while saluting. "May the queen be in good health."

"Look up." Lan Xin smiled gently.

Ye Lan obeyed the queen's instructions and slowly raised his face, but he didn't dare to meet the queen's eyes, still cautiously lowered his eyelids, and watched the hibiscus flowers bloom on the blue brick floor and the woolen blanket.

Jin Lan found that this Ye Lan was not young, but he had a raw face, and he had never seen it before. "How long have you been in the palace, and where did you serve before?"

Although it was Jinlan who opened her mouth to ask, Ye Lan knew that she was asking for the queen, her identity was humble after all, and the queen really didn't have to talk too much to herself. But in terms of etiquette, she wanted to reply to the queen's words, so she said respectfully: "Back to the queen's mother, the slave maid has been in the palace for thirteen years, and has been serving flowers and plants in the flower garden, and preparing rouge, lip grease and fragrant flower dew and other flower-related work for the ladies and little masters of each palace. ”

"No wonder I smell of flowers." Jinlan blocked the back of her hand in front of her nose, in fact, as soon as Ye Lan came in, she smelled a clear fragrance, although it was very light, but it was not light.

"The slave maid should be damned, Xu was stained with the smell when she was serving the flowers and plants, and she came to the queen mother to say goodbye without changing her clean clothes, which is really a dereliction of duty for the slave and maid." Ye Lan heard that Aunt Jinlan's tone was unusual, and hurriedly confessed.

Lan Xin learned that Ye Lan had served in the palace for thirteen years, and he knew it in his heart. The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not choose a small palace maid like a young shoot, but a "flower maid" who had served in the palace in the previous dynasty, and it seemed that it must be the idea of the Queen Mother. Thinking like this, I was slightly unhappy in my heart, and I had been in the palace for less than ten years, but the Queen Mother had been calling for wind and rain in the Forbidden City for decades.

Even if it is a brick and stone in the harem, a pillar, the number of times the Queen Mother looks at it and touches it is much more than her. No wonder the Queen Mother is reluctant to let herself be the master of the Six Palaces. It's just that...... Concubine Xian is really confused.

Is the Queen Mother a person who can follow her allegiance?

"Since the Internal Affairs Office has chosen you to serve Concubine Xian, you should serve with your heart." Lan Xin didn't say anything, thinking that he was just going through the motions, so he didn't say anything else.

Xue Guining led the people out, and Jin Lan frowned and muttered: "How do you think that the slave maid thinks that this Ye Lan has a bit of a hidden taste?" ”

"Leave it alone." Lan Xin was a little overwhelmed, but in fact, it was not that he was tired, but that he was tired of it. "Let the imperial dining room prepare the dishes that the emperor likes and send them."

As soon as he said this, Jinlan's sad look was swept away, and it was replaced by a sweet smile: "Niangniang, don't worry, the slave maid has already ordered a special palace person to serve the dishes." For a few days, the emperor has been used in our palace, but he is really envious of others. ”

Lan Xin smiled gently, but his mouth was a little bitter, did the emperor do this because he owed himself and was uneasy, or was it really out of affection? In the past, I only knew how to be good to him, but now I can't convince myself to trust him. Freezing three feet, the little warmth he gave was not enough to melt the hard ice wrapped around her heart after all.

"Lord Xiao Feng, where are you going?" Wang Jinbao stepped forward unhurriedly, and when he was an arm's length away, he let out a treacherous laugh.

"Father-in-law, in broad daylight, is he trying to scare people?" Xiao Feng glanced at him resentfully, and said with a frown: "As far as I know, didn't my father-in-law get the will of the saint and serve in Cining Palace, how can he still have the kung fu to return to the Heart Cultivation Palace at this time?" ”

"If the adults can come, why can't the minions come?" Wang Jinbao glanced at the familiar Heart Nourishing Palace, and felt a chill in his heart. "The slave was just ordered to reply to the emperor and tell the emperor about the queen mother's phoenix health."

"Then please." Xiao Feng had just come out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, turned sideways slightly, and made way for Wang Jinbao.

"No hurry, no hurry." Wang Jinbao still smiled wickedly, and his voice became lower and lower: "There was an assassin who assassinated the queen among the imperial guards, which is really a headache, but fortunately, Lord Xiao Feng is agile, and it can be solved in the blink of an eye." ”

With a sharp brow, Xiao Feng's face changed suddenly: "How do you know?" ”

"How do minions know!" Wang Jinbao didn't care, and Lai Pi smiled: "The slave is just obeying the master's arrangement." If it weren't for the master's clever calculation, would you be able to be reborn after the catastrophe? Maybe at this time, he has been caught by the queen and soaked in the pig cage with Concubine Xian. ”

It turned out to be the Queen Mother! Xiao Feng finally figured out that the black-clothed assassin was arranged by the Queen Mother, and his own life was also saved by the Queen Mother. No wonder there was such "luck" that day, it turned out that everything was calculated by others. "It seems that my father-in-law has something to bring to me, so I might as well say it bluntly."

"The master said, there should be a lot of them. Now that many things have passed, we should not blame the past. What's more, there is a wrongdoer, there is a debtor, who is the one who really deserves to die, I hope the adults can figure it out. Naturally, if adults still want to avenge Lelan, the master can help you. It's just that adults have to weigh it carefully, how to repay the kindness of the master. Wang Jinbao smiled flatteringly, and after speaking, he bowed down and walked into the Heart Cultivation Palace.
