Back in Luomei Xuan, Mama Qin sent Lu'er back, leaving Lingxi alone.

Mama Qin first asked the palace people to clean her face with water, and then changed out of her clothes that were soaked in cold sweat, and then took a cup of flower tea and sat on a pear wood stool like a master.

Lingxi's eyes didn't dare to look more, and when he looked down, he only heard the sound of Mama Qin drinking tea.

After a long time, Mama Qin said to Lingxi, "Go down and feed that wren brother well." ”

Lingxi said and retreated, but he didn't understand where Mama Qin was singing. Even if you have nothing to say to her, why did you leave her alone?

Mama Qin watched Lingxi retreat in an orderly manner, and felt more and more that this nine-year-old child was not ordinary.

If other palace people had been stopped by her for so long, they would have squeaked and asked something if they were sent back without saying a word. How can a nine-year-old child be so calm and well-behaved that people can't make mistakes?

In the evening, Jasper took a box of swelling plasters and delivered them to Lingxi's hand.

In fact, Shangguan Yan'er's slap was not heavy, and Lingxi's face had long since disappeared. But this is the queen mother's reward, and Lingxi can only accept it with a thousand thanks.

Biyu said before leaving, "Ming'er will bring Brother Wren to the front hall when he is young, but don't miss the time." ”

Lingxi was blessed and said, "Sister Xie mentions, Ling'er knows." ”

When the jasper was sent away, the craftsmen of Luomei Xuan carefully closed the doors and windows of the warm pavilion, and then went back to rest.

In the middle of the night, Chun'er pretended to be a night Izugong and looked around the door, and saw that there was no movement in the courtyard under the moonlight, so she returned to the room and whispered to Lingxi, who had already gotten up, "No one, hurry, see if you are still alive." ”

Hearing this, Lingxi hurriedly got off the kang and took out a bird cage that was tightly covered with cage clothes from a cabinet for winter clothes in the corner of the ear room. Carefully take off the cage coat, and the bird cage contains a snow-white kitten, which is a snowball.

It turned out that when Lingxi was sprinkled with rabbit fur in the Xinuan Pavilion yesterday, he found a few small seedlings that had been eaten in the nursery of several Yueji. Lingxi picked off the leaves of the small seedling and smelled it, and his expression was shocked.

Although Lingxi was a killer in his last life, he was extremely fond of cats. And this little seedling is none other than catnip. No wonder Snowball came to the West Warm Pavilion, it turned out to be attracted by the smell of catnip.

So Lingxi made a set out of the catnip and the bird's cage, and caught the snowball first. I thought that on the second day, when there were many people not paying attention, I would let them out to form a circle for Chun'er, but I didn't think that catnip attracted another cat.

Chun'er naturally knew this, and when she saw Ziyu taking Mama Qin and Lingxi away, she hurriedly returned to the house and hid the snowball, afraid of being discovered by others.

The snowball in the cage stared at Lingxi and Chun'er with bright eyes, and could only make a purr sound because of the strip of cloth tied to their mouths.

Lingxi is afraid of Snowball's struggle, and throws a small catnip under Snowball's nose the moment the cage is taken off. Snowball sniffed the smell and squinted her eyes with great enjoyment, honestly.

Chun'er reached into the cage and touched the pure white hair of the snowball, and her affection was overflowing.

"Sister, this is the Queen Mother's cat, don't say that we are not allowed to raise it, even if we are allowed to raise it, we can't raise it." Lingxi also likes snowballs, but snowballs are much more expensive than them, and they can't afford to raise them.

Chun'er withdrew her hand and said, "Send it out quickly." ”

Lingxi nodded, and took advantage of the night to carry the bird cage to the gate of Luomei Xuan's courtyard and put the snowball. Snowball was already starving, and ran away from the cage.

Lingxi carried the cage back to the east ear room, covered her heart and said to Chun'er, who was also worried and afraid, "Sister Chun'er, this matter can be regarded as the past. ”

Chun'er pulled the Lingxi on the kang and choked with the Lingxi, "Ling'er, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'm not here now." ”

Lingxi took out a handkerchief and wiped Chun'er's tears, "What did my sister say, if it weren't for you, I would have been gone...... Lingxi said after a deep chant, "I don't think Mama wants to do anything to you, otherwise I would have sent you to Grandpa Qian that day, how can I wait for today?" ”

Chun'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and thought about it carefully. If Mama Qin really wanted to send her away, then she took the opportunity to send her away yesterday. But Mama Qin didn't want to send her, so what was the purpose of leaving her behind?

"Think about it, is there something that offended Mama and let her scare you like this?"

Chun'er shook her head after thinking for a while, "No, if I offended Mama, she would have punished me a long time ago...... Yikes! Chun'er whispered, "When I was embroidered one day, my grandmother saw it, could she blame me for this?" ”

After hearing this, Lingxi shook his head and said, "It can't be like this." On weekdays, we all embroider some things and sell them, Mama Qin knows it, why can't you get it when you get there? What did you embroider on which day? ”

"What else could it be, it's not that picture of red plum looking at snow......" Chun'er stopped talking, and then smiled sadly, "Yes, she has taken a fancy to this." No wonder ......"

Lingxi only sighed, lay on the kang and said, "Give it up, I can't keep it." ”

In Luomei Xuan under the moonlit night, Mama Qin watched Lingxi's weak figure pass through and through the courtyard, and finally closed the door of the ear room and did not move. It's like what's clear in my heart, in this Luo Mei Xuan, I'm afraid there will really be a character.

The next day, Lingxi changed the cage for Brother Wren and sent it to the Changle Hall early. After taking the cage, Green Jade said to Lingxi, "This wren brother is waiting for you, and you take the wren's food and stay in the small kitchen." When the hour is right to feed it, you will come to the middle of the room, and I will lead you in. ”

Lingxi was blessed, said yes, and put a few pieces of the broken apples prepared in advance into the small blue and white bowl outside the wren's cage, and said to the green jade, "Sister, if the Queen Mother wants to feed the birds, use the broken apples." ”

Green Jade secretly praised Lingxi's carefulness in her heart, nodded and said to Lingxi, "Go down and wait." ”

From that day on, Lingxi carried Brother Wren to the Changle Hall every day to hang it, and then carried Brother Wren back to Meixuan when Shen Shi. In this way, they are also familiar with the palace maids and eunuchs in the Changle Palace, and even Mama Qin and Lingxi have to call Ling'er girl when they talk.

One day, Emperor Yonghe came to Yongshou Palace to ask for peace, and listened to the Empress Dowager Cui talk about the wren brother who could read words, and specially called the spirit rhino to the palace to let the wren brother perform.

Lingxi slapped the cage twice, and Brother Wren shouted, "Mo Dao is not **, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." ”

Emperor Yonghe laughed, "I have seen a lot of talking birds, and it is nothing more than calling the emperor long live, the queen mother is auspicious, but this bird that can read words is really the first time I have seen it." ”

Empress Dowager Cui saw that Emperor Yonghe was happy, so she said to Lingxi, "Ling'er, look at the emperor's surprise, and then open his eyes." ”

Lingxi respected, stood in front of Brother Wren and stretched out his little jade hand, patted the bird cage twice, and fed another piece of apple. Brother Wren immediately jumped to the highest stand and sang, "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman. ”

Emperor Yonghe clapped his hands and laughed, rewarded Lingxi with the two fine pearls he was playing with, and said, "Tie a bead flower for the palace daughter to wear." ”

Lingxi hurriedly knelt down to thank him and retreated. She has no grade and no rank, and it is a great gift for the emperor to allow her to wear flowers, and she will be a head taller than other palace maids when she goes out in the future.

But Lingxi didn't dare, and as soon as he returned to the middle room, he gave the pearl to the jasper and green jade, and blessed the blessing and said, "The emperor's reward." ”

Biyu took it in his hand and looked at it, wrapped it in a square handkerchief and put it in his arms. Green Jade asked after Jasper left, "Is the emperor rewarding you, or is it for everyone?" ”

Lingxi Muna said, "The slave doesn't know...... The emperor only said that he would tie a bead flower, but he did not say who it was for. Sister Jasper and Sister Green Jade in our palace are tired, so I think they are rewarded to the two sisters. ”

After hearing this, Green Jade hurriedly stuffed the beads back into Lingxi's hand, pointed at Lingxi's forehead and said, "You, be careful too much!" Alas......"

Lingxi looked up at the green jade blankly, and saw that the green jade was looking at him with a worried face.

"With this bead, you are the one who has been rewarded by the emperor, and your life in the palace will be easy. But if not, who can afford to look down on you? ”

Lingxi saw that Green Jade was really anxious for herself, so she stuffed the beads back, held Green Jade's hand and said, "Sister Green Jade can look down on me and hurt me......"

Green Jade reluctantly put away the beads and poked Lingxi's head hard with his hand.

Lingxi didn't know the truth of what Green Jade said. But she is a bird trainer, a palace maid with no grade and no rank, and she is rewarded by the emperor, I am afraid that she will be embarrassed to death by the big palace maid in the Yongshou Palace before others can afford her. Who will she go to cry out for injustice at that time? Is it the Queen Mother or the Yonghe Emperor who rewarded her pearls?

Lingxi is not unrare for those two beads, but with her current status and ability, it is not enough to take those two beads.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of April, and the Imperial Garden was in full bloom and the palace was bustling with activity. First, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival soon, and the inner palace and the outer court will celebrate, and the high-ranking concubines in the palace will also be allowed to visit their families in the palace. The second is that after May is June, King Rui's wedding will be in early June.

On this day, Empress Dowager Cui took Mama An, Father-in-law Qian, Biyu and several other intimate palace maids and eunuchs to the imperial garden early in the morning.

Lingxi hung Brother Wren in the Changle Hall and was about to go to the small kitchen, but who knew that he was stopped by Green Jade after walking a few steps.

Green Jade took the spirit rhino to the side room of the Changle Palace, where tea and pastries were prepared for Empress Dowager Cui.

Green Jade let Lingxi stand in the middle room, and didn't say anything, just took care of directing the little palace maid to do things. ｜ ..

"Xue'er, warm up the water on the stove, don't get cold!"

The palace maid named Xue'er hurriedly used a handkerchief to warm the water she had just brought in from the small kitchen on the hearth.

"Xiaoya, put the plate of newly paid grapes on the ice, and serve it when the Queen Mother returns to the palace."

A little palace maid hurriedly put the small fruit bowl with grapes in a large copper box with ice.

"Xin'er, hurry up and go to the imperial dining room to see, did the Queen Mother eat two pieces of crystal pear blossom cake yesterday, if there is a let them send it over, if not, see if there are any fresh pastries, send two things over."

Xin'er was blessed and went out.

Green Jade looked at all kinds of things in the room, and instructed the little palace maid to get them. For a while, although it was busy, it was orderly.
