Lord Fang withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the Queen Mother said to Prince Rong: "Today's astrological abnormality will definitely cause vibrations inside and outside the palace, you go and invite General Li Muguang to come, and say that your mother has something important to discuss with her." ”

"Son, let's go."

Prince Rong walked out of Cining Palace in a hurry, walked to the Mianshou Bridge with a heavy heart, met a little palace maid, and bent his knees to ask for peace: "The slave maid welcomes the spring palace maid Xiaohuan respectfully invites Prince Rong Jin'an." ”

Prince Rong just waved his hand and walked towards the bridge.

The little palace maid got off the Mianshou Bridge and hurriedly walked to the front of the Rongshou Palace, only to see that the palace door was locked, and she wanted to come forward and knock on the door, but she stepped forward a few times, but her hand hesitated and did not move.

"Who are you?"

“……”

"What are you standing there for?"

"Who are you?" Xiaohuan was originally asked, frightened, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a little eunuch who was younger than himself, and the panic just now dissipated, and he dared to ask rhetorically.

"Who is this father-in-law?" Xiao Linzi continued to drink in a childlike voice.

Xiaohuan took a closer look, although the little eunuch was not very old, he was wearing a palace uniform of the eighth grade, and he had to worry about his recklessness just now, and said hesitantly: "If you go back to the little father-in-law, the slave maid is Xiaohuan, the palace maid of the Spring Festival Palace." ”

"This father-in-law is the father-in-law who serves in the main hall of Cining Palace, what is small, it is not allowed to be called this father-in-law and little father-in-law in the future." Xiao Linzi said in a loud tone.

Seeing that he was still a child, Xiaohuan also let down his horror and guard, and teased him: "Back to my father-in-law's words, the slave and maid know, don't call my father-in-law a little father-in-law, please ask my father-in-law's surname, Xiaohuan will not be rude to see him in the future." ”

"My father-in-law's surname is Lin, and I call him my father-in-law Xiaolinzi father-in-law, and you will also call me Xiaolinzi father-in-law in the future."

"Back to Xiaolinzi's father-in-law's words, the slave and maid wrote it down."

"It's not dawn yet, why don't you stay in Yingchun Palace, what are you doing near Rongshou Palace?"

"If you go back to Xiaolinzi's father-in-law, the slave and maid can't sleep, get up early, and want to go out for a walk." Xiaohuan didn't dare to tell the truth. Just a casual lie.

"Nonsense, you are serving in the Spring Palace, this is the northwest office, separated by 108,000 miles? What's more, my father-in-law saw you several times and wanted to knock on the door of Rongshou Palace. ”

Xiaohuan was startled, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Xiaolinzi, I only tell you, don't say it." ”

This set of Xiaolinzi really helped, and he said angrily: "Say it quickly." ”

"I am the little maid next to the nobleman, and I want to come to Rongshou Palace to send a box of snacks to our nobleman's sister."

Xiao Linzi looked around and said, "You lie, what about the dim sum?" ”

"The road was slippery after dark, and the dim sum slave accidentally fell into the Yuquan River."

"Since it is the palace maid of Sister Wanying's sister, then my father-in-law made an exception and helped you, you must keep it in mind, my father-in-law is kind to you."

When Xiaohuan heard this, this little guy was very angry, but since he could help himself, he had to put his hands on his waist and blessed, and said respectfully: "Xiaolinzi's father-in-law's great kindness, the slave and maid must remember it in their hearts, and if they have the opportunity in the future, they will definitely repay their father-in-law's great kindness." After saying that, I couldn't help but want to laugh in my heart.

"Okay, very good......" Xiao Linzi imitated the Queen Mother's tone and said these three words, and then said in his original form: "You come with my father-in-law, there is a convenient road between Cining Palace and Rongshou Palace, just next to this father-in-law's house, and the key is also here in my father-in-law." ”

Xiao Linzi took out the key and shook it in front of Xiao Huan's eyes, Xiao Huan was overjoyed, he didn't expect this little thing that had not dried up to really help him, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and followed Xiao Linzi into Cining Palace.

Prince Beirong returned to the room, and lay down in his clothes, feeling a thousand worries. I fell asleep in a daze, the charcoal fire was exhausted, and a cold war woke up from a light dream, and then I took off my coat and covered it with a quilt.

Lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, listening to the sound of the night outside from far and near, it was already five watches, and it would be dawn in a while, forget it, the night was over, and the sleep was gone. got up lazily, put on a big skirt, took the fire tongs, and put a few pieces of silver charcoal into the brazier, but the charcoal fire was almost burned out, so it couldn't be rekindled for a while.

I went to fetch the oil for ignition, and poured a few spoonfuls of it on the coals with a copper spoon, and when I got there, the fragrance of jasmine was fresh and fresh in the room. With a cup of tea, the brazier will be red. Put the copper basin of the face on it, take out the rose beauty juice and pour some into it, wait for the water temperature to be just right, soak the silk cotton cloth and wring it out, cover it on the face, until the silk cloth cools, and so on several times, the skin is radiant, and it is wonderful.

didn't sleep all night, Wanying was afraid that her appearance would age, so she sat in front of the bronze mirror and confirmed it repeatedly. It wasn't until I confirmed that it was correct that I was relieved.

Carefully dressed, it was originally out of the water hibiscus like a peerless generation, and now the love is beginning to open, pleasing to oneself, but also sinking fish and geese, the country and the city.

Appreciating herself in the mirror, Wanying sighed in her heart: If I am a man, I must also love it, a stunning beauty like myself!

Thinking of this, Wanying's cheeks were hot, a little shyness was accompanied by sweetness, and her heart was full of it.

"Knock knock" Someone knocked on the door heavily, so anxious it would definitely not be Yuyan, hurriedly got up to open the door, and opened the curtain but it was a living face.

"You are?" I asked.

"You are Sister Wanying, I am Xiaohuan, the maid in the Spring Palace, you can go and take a look, Qiu Li is not good." Xiaohuan said anxiously.

Wanying seemed to feel that Xiaohuan was familiar, but she couldn't remember for a while, where she had heard it, and only asked eagerly: "Qiuli, what's wrong with her?" ”

"Last night, I fell and fell on the charcoal stove and hurt my face."

"What did you say?" Wanying couldn't believe that she was fine when she saw her last night, how could there be such a change in one night's hard work.

"Qiuli cried and asked me to tell you, so that you should go and see her quickly. I also sneaked out and waited outside your palace gate for a long time before I came in quietly. ”

"Rongshou Palace hasn't opened yet, how did you get in?"

"Father-in-law Xiaolinzi of Cining Palace helped me."

"What the hell is going on? Speak carefully and listen to me. ”

"My sister is confused, how do I know that I was in the main hall of Zhaoyi Niangniang at that time, how could a slave like us have such a blessing to serve in the palace?" She frowned slightly, and said, "I've been out for a long time, so I have to go back quickly." Girl, let's go with me to see Qiuli. ”

Without further ado, Wanying put on a coat and followed Xiaohuan to Yingchun Palace.

When I saw Qi Qiuli, I couldn't help but cry, and my overnight work turned into this look. Wan Ying leaned on the side of her bed, she hadn't woken up yet, half of her face was stretched with white gauze, and the gauze was slightly imprinted with blood. The other half of his face was crisscrossed with countless tears. There seemed to be a crying voice in his breath.

The quilt was stained with blood. Wan Ying held her hand, extremely cold, and looked around the room, there was no brazier. No wonder her hands are so cold. got up and looked around, but there was no trace of the brazier, and moving the chair woke up Qi Qiuli, she opened her eyes and shed tears before she spoke. The silent sobbing shattered Wanying's heart. My tears followed her like a beaded curtain with broken threads.

With difficulty, she seemed to use all her strength to speak, "Wanying save me." ”
