Chapter 180: The Short Candle Shines Quietly
Xianglian didn't fail to hear Mama Huang's words, and it was because she heard them that she kept silent. Carefully holding the eldest brother in her arms, she bowed her head respectfully and whispered to the queen: "Ask the queen to be gracious and allow the slave to serve by the eldest brother's side." The eldest brother was injured, and he couldn't do without someone to take care of him. When the eldest brother wakes up and is unharmed, the slave is willing to go to the Shen Penal Division to receive punishment. ”
From this point of view, Xianglian has some affection for the eldest brother, and she is not as good as the nurses and grandmothers who are generally taken care of to deal with errands. Lan Xin weighed this strange woman in her heart, and had the heart to agree to her request.
Mama Huang was very annoyed, and walked to Xianglian in a few steps, but whether the force in her hand was too heavy, she insisted on snatching the eldest brother from Xianglian's arms. An eleven-year-old boy is not light, Mama Huang never expected this Xianglian to be so energetic, seeing a stagger, she herself could not stand steadily, and even the eldest brother in her hand was about to fall.
"Oops, not good." Mama Huang screamed.
was so shocked that Lan Xin's heart was about to jump out. "Yonghuang, be careful, don't go and help yet."
Fortunately, Xianglian stretched out her hand sensitively, turned around and grabbed Mama Huang's arm desperately, and steadily dragged the eldest brother into her arms again.
"Oops." Mama Huang was exerting her strength, her arms were light, her waist twisted, and she fell to the ground with a bang. And the back of her hand was also scratched by Xianglian's nails, and the flesh of the wound was slightly rolled up. "You hoof, are you intent on falling me to death......
Realizing that the queen was there, Mama Huang hurriedly changed her words: "It's a small matter for me to fall to death, and I fell to the eldest brother, can you afford it?" ”
"Enough of the noise!" Lan Xin pressed his chest that was throbbing suddenly, and he couldn't calm down for a while. "Mama Huang, if you hadn't robbed it, how could Xianglian have lost her hand and fell on you. Fortunately, the eldest brother is fine, if the eldest brother is injured again because of you, you don't have to eat any more food in this palace. ”
"The queen mother forgives her sins, the queen mother forgives her sins......" Mama Huang endured the severe pain like a spasm in her waist, and the whole person fell to the ground and cried and begged the queen for mercy.
"Xianglian, send the eldest brother back to the room first, and it's not too late to talk about the next things later." Lan Xin glanced at Mama Huang with resentment, only glanced at Suo Lan, and followed Xianglian and the rest of the people to the wing room with Yonghuang in her arms.
Suo Lan glanced at Mama Huang contemptuously, hid her disgust, leaned over and helped the person up: "I said Mama Huang, what's the matter with you." You are an old man who served the eldest brother, and you used to follow you in the mansion. How can you not know the temperament of the queen's mother. I don't even care about the big brother's body. ”
Mama Huang snorted and cried, crying really pitiful: "Auntie, you help the old slave and ask the queen mother for intercession." It's all that Xianglian is not good, since she came, this brother has not had a day of peace. It's good that she showed her face in front of the queen, and there will be no place for the old slave in the future. ”
Gently patting his palm, Suo Lan said disapplausively: "How come, you watched the eldest brother grow up, if you talk about intimacy, it must be with you." How could she call a new nurse from outside to steal the limelight. Besides, this Xianglian is also the person who was drugged last time when the pastries of the pure concubine filial piety to Concubine Hui were drugged, and the entire elder brother cleaned it up before it was sent in. It's only been a few days, and Mama Huang has been defeated? ”
"Not really." Mama Huang rubbed her wrist and twisted her waist carefully, before she said sneakily: "This Xianglian has been here for a long time, but she has always done something inconspicuous. Who knows, it just so happened that the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought the new nurse eldest brother who didn't like it, so he asked her to serve nearby. Counting the days, this Xianglian is the elder brother who came to the palace after entering the palace, and it has been almost three years of hard work. ”
This time it was Suo Lan's turn to be surprised, it stands to reason that he has been serving in the palace for nearly three years, even if he has never seen the queen, he always knows the rules. As for Fang Cai in front of Feng Jia, Xianglian would be so rude.
Either she is cowardly and cowardly, or she is intentional.
The former is almost impossible, just ask a timid person, how dare to make a move on Mama in front of the queen. After all, the few cuts on the back of Mama Huang's hand are not light at all.
So why did she get the attention of the queen?
Suo Lan sighed: "Mama Huang, you are so afraid, I'm afraid it's not for Xianglian." On the contrary, I am afraid of the queen. ”
Mama Huang's face tightened, and she was so shocked that she almost bit her lip: "Auntie, what are you talking about?" In this harem, who is a slave who is not afraid of the majesty of the queen. Pretending to be confused, Mama Huang obviously knew what Suo Lan was going to say. The stalemate was immediately covered by a flattering smile, and Mama Huang said nice things to Suo Lan one by one.
"Auntie, you should be a poor slave and a poor slave, and say a few good words for the slave and maid in front of the queen. You said that the slaves and maids are all old, and this big brother was brought up by the slaves and maids themselves. Even if it is not safe today and the eldest brother is injured, it is not the slave's fault in the end. Auntie, my good aunt, you can think of a way for the slave maid to let the queen mother send Xianglian away......"
With a light snort, Suo Lan hooked his lips disapprenously: "Isn't my words unfinished." Mama, how do you serve the eldest brother all day, can't I see through it? What do you say Xianglian made for the eldest brother is a single boot, if it is really a single boot, it should be made of ordinary black cloth, and how can it be made of black velvet.
The master is high, and he may not understand the tricks in the hands of the slave and maid in private. But Mama forgot, I, Suo Lan, survived from the lower courtyard, and who knows Mama's mind better than me. ”
raised his eyebrows, and Suo Lan's face flashed with a cold light: "You see that the eldest brother is a poor child without a mother, and he dislikes the lack of reward in his hand, so he dares to privately deduct the amount given to the eldest brother by the Internal Affairs Office." It's normal to have no cotton wool in your boots, and the cotton wool is simply stuffed into your jacket. Of course, maybe it's not just cotton wool, maybe even charcoal fire, meals, you do everything you can to pull into your purse, am I right? ”
"Auntie, my aunt, don't dare to say this. If the queen's grandmother hears it, she will inevitably chop off the slave's hands and cut off the slave's head. Mama Huang knelt down in front of her with a puff, ignoring the pain, and repeatedly confessed to Suo Lan. Seeing that the green bag knocked out of his forehead, and the green bag was scratched and the skin was broken, and the blood was faintly oozing out, it was just a few strokes.
It can be seen that this Mama Huang really has no energy and sincerely begs for mercy.
Suo Lan is indeed a little unbearable in his heart, after all, Mama Huang is not young, and it is more than enough to be her own grandmother. But if you make a mistake, you make a mistake, you knew that you would be today, what did you do in the first place. Compared with the queen's lenienness, Suo Lan belongs to the category that must be repaid.
I was used to being angry in the past, but now I can finally raise my head and be a man, how can I compromise because of soft-heartedness. "What is it now? Just find a substitute for the dead at random? It doesn't matter if Mama Huang is confused, don't try to deceive the queen. It's not impossible for me to help you intercede, why did the big brother fall off the rockery, you truthfully show that there is a word deviation, keep it and let your head move. ”
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare ......" Mama Huang's lips were biting blood stains, how dare she say this. The eldest brother hadn't eaten a full meal for several days...... Therefore, I didn't have the strength to fall off the rockery! The afterglow at the end of her eyes secretly crossed Suo Lan's cheeks, she knew that it must be the queen's instructions, and she was afraid that she would not be able to avoid this catastrophe.
"Say it quickly." Suo Lan snorted coldly, like a sharp knife stabbed into Mama Huang's chest.
"It's snowing heavily these days, and the food from the imperial dining room is already cold when it arrives at Brother's house. The eldest brother felt unappetizing and ate very little every day. Maybe because of this, the eldest brother always felt weak, and the slave had already persuaded him not to climb the rockery. But he said that he could see farther when he stood on the rockery. If you look farther, you will be able to draw a majestic picture.
The slave and maid couldn't resist him, so the eldest brother climbed up in danger. Who knows, who knows it will fall. If the slave had expected this catastrophe in advance, she would have to protect the eldest brother and not let him take risks. ”
Before the words fell, I heard a woman crying: "You are talking nonsense! ”
Suo Lan and Mama Huang turned around at the same time and saw that the person who came was Xianglian. Not only Xianglian, but even the queen also returned.
"In the past few days, the snow has been heavy, and the eldest brother is not hungry, and the slave and maid have begged the grandmother bitterly, and asked the imperial dining room for food. Even if it's a cold pastry pad, it's good to cushion your stomach. But Mama thinks that the snow road is not easy to walk, and Brother's diet can't be faked to others, so you are willing to let Big Brother starve and freeze, but also fill your stomach.
The slave couldn't bear to see the eldest brother suffer, so she sent her own food to the eldest brother. You found out, and you smashed them all. Xianglian was teary-eyed, and only then did she realize that the cold wind was like a sharp blade, cutting her face fiercely, and it hurt so much that her heart was broken. Big Brother is still a child after all, why do you treat her like this. ”
Lan Xin took a deep breath of cold air, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. No wonder the eldest brother has such a deep mind at such a young age. It's all forced out by these disrespectful slaves and maids who can only chew their tongues. "The imperial doctor came to see the eldest brother, and he actually said that the eldest brother had a yellow face and thin muscles, and he couldn't eat for a long time. He's only eleven years old, and it's time to grow up......"
Almost roaring, Lan Xin couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart: "Do you know what you did? Endanger the emperor's heir, destroy Brother, Mama Huang, you are not dying, you are going to Huangquan with the whole family! ”
