Before Concubine De could go out, Emperor Yongnian, dressed in regular clothes, had already strode in, and waved his hand when he entered the door: "There is no need to kneel and worship." "The concubines who have already posed are naturally just a blessing.

Yongnian sat straight on the main seat, looked at the large round table in front of him, and nodded: "It's also chic to sit down like this." At a glance, he caught a glimpse of Luo Yan standing there, rolling up her sleeves, revealing half of her arm, raising her eyebrows and smiling: "Ping'an, you haven't drunk yet, why are you so hot?" ”

Cao Zhaoyi hurriedly confessed: "The concubine accidentally wet the princess's sleeve." ”

Yongnian didn't move the corners of his eyes, nodded and said, "It's so wet!" ”

Cao Zhaoyi's face suddenly froze, and everyone also looked at each other, their eyes were wonderful. Yongnian ignored it, and only said to Luo Yan: "It will be the winter solstice in ten days, but you don't have your arms cold, and you won't be able to lift them up then." Concubine De beside him was stunned, her eyes were slightly dark, but she smiled: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Luo Yan offer silk for three years." Concubine Xian was also slightly distracted, and glanced at Luo Yan again.

Yongnian said indifferently: "Then you have to take a good look this year, she is also the last year to offer silk, and the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, who went to Jiafu Temple at the right time, has reported that the Heavenly Master has combined the eight characters of Luo Yan and Wang An Shizi, and approved the four words of 'match made in heaven', which is actually a criticism that has not been seen in recent years." Just wait for the princess's mansion to be repaired in the spring next year, and the palace will have a happy event again. Concubine Jing, the princess lives with you, you have to think more about it. ”

A congratulatory voice suddenly sounded on the table, Luo Yan lowered her head, and kept reminding herself: You should be happy, you should be happy...... Suddenly, I heard Concubine De Yuwen Fangfei laughing: "It seems that I still have to remind my niece that it is my duty to serve the princess well in the future." ”

These words pierced directly into Luo Yan's heart like a spike, but then a kind of coldness swept through, she gritted her teeth slightly, simply raised her head, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Don't dare to be." ”

There was a faint smile on the corner of Yongnian's mouth: "Concubine De is confused today." Ping'an lives in her princess's mansion, where is her turn to be served in the concubine's room, your niece and nephew just stay in the palace and serve Princess Hao'an! ”

Concubine De lowered her head and smiled: "Not really." I'm so confused. ”

While speaking, Gu Yu had already brought a new set of shirts over, Luo Yan asked Gu Yu and Qingqing to follow them to the warm pavilion next to them to change clothes, Luo Yan handed her the white handkerchief in her sleeve, "Go back and see what's weird." ”

When they came out again after changing their clothes, the palace maids had already begun to serve food. After Luo Yan sat down, Concubine De raised her glass and said: "Today is a good day to celebrate the princess's return to the palace. After speaking, I saluted Yongnian first.

Yongnian smiled and drank a cup, Luo Yan stood up and thanked Concubine De and Concubine Xian, and everyone raised their glasses, and they just touched their lips.

Yongnian participated in such a ** party, which has always been just a slight meaning, but today he was very interested, drank two glasses of wine, and sat for half an hour before leaving.

The emperor's figure disappeared into the courtyard, and Cao Zhaoyi hurriedly pulled Luo Yan and said with a smile: "The princess just took my handkerchief by mistake." ”

Luo Yan sighed in her heart: Stupid woman, no wonder she became cannon fodder, I really don't know how to live in the palace to this day! As soon as he touched his sleeves, he smiled and said, "Isn't this in the clothes you changed just now?" When he turned around, he asked Gu Yu, "When you sent the clothes back just now, did you see a handkerchief in your sleeve?" ”

Gu Yu thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "Back to the princess, it seems that there is a handkerchief, because I am afraid that the tea will not be easy to wash when it is dry, and even the clothes with the handkerchief are quickly handed over to the Huanyi Bureau." Cao Zhaoyi smiled and said, "How embarrassing is this." After sitting down for a while, he went out to change his clothes.

Concubine Xian smiled quietly with Luo Yan: "A handkerchief is also worth looking for, in this palace, that is, Cao Zhaoyi is so careful, it is worthy of being taught by Concubine De's mother." Luo Yan smiled silently, sat down for a while, and saw Concubine Jing on the opposite side looking over, so she glanced out. Here, Concubine De is asking what other things are prepared after the banquet. Concubine Jing had already stood up and said with a smile: "It's not too early, Ping An should go back to rest." She stayed on the ship for more than half a month, and in a few days it was a major event to offer silk, and the emperor ordered that she must be mentally nourished in these days. ”

Concubine De glanced at Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian only looked at Concubine Jing and smiled, and Concubine De smiled and said, "What is this!" Gathered just for her, others can go, but she can't. ”

Luo Yan stood up and smiled: "I am reluctant to leave, but if I let my father know, I will definitely blame Concubine Jing Niangniang, and maybe I will even implicate Concubine Xian Niangniang, Ping An does not dare to disobey my father's will and bring trouble to all the mothers, so I will retire." Then he gave a salute to Concubine De and Concubine Xian, and then confessed to the concubines, and walked out with the maid.

The concubines looked at the tall figure that had left, some had sneers on the corners of their mouths, some were secretly relieved, and some bowed their heads and were silent. Concubine De sat on it silently, taking everyone's reactions in her eyes, the smile on her face remained unchanged, but she slowly tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

………………

"Shicai Gu Yu sent back the veil, and I checked it, this veil has been soaked in medicinal powder, and it will turn red when it encounters water." Delan said softly.

Luo Yan looked at the vanity mirror, stretched out her right arm and asked Qingqing to help remove the thick layer of waterproof balm, and her arm faded the jade carving-like luster; I glanced at the handp again, and saw that there were obvious red marks on the corner, thinking that it was the result of Dailan's "experiment" just now.

Sure enough, they deliberately chose to come when their father was about to arrive, and it was not in vain that they chose the banquet in such a warm Spring Return Hall - they were dressed thickly, and they were afraid that the water would not be able to penetrate the clothes! It's just that......

"That's it?"

"Maybe there are other medicinal powders, and the slave can't distinguish them for the time being."

Yun'er flicked some water on the handkerchief with her fingertips, and then picked up the handkerchief with two fingers and sniffed it carefully, before saying: "This smell seems to be somewhat similar to a chronic poison that the slave has seen before, which can make the skin of the poisoned place blister and fester." However, the balsam on the princess's hand was really thick, and if she didn't take the oil and melt the fat first, the poison would not seep in for a while. ”

Gu Yu thought for a while and said: "The two palace maids who rushed up today are both kung fu, and their skills are not much worse than those of slaves. “

Luo Yan nodded: That's right, what's the use of just making the emperor suspicious for a while, naturally it is over to destroy the palace sand - tonight they have calculated every step very well, and the manpower is also sufficient, but they didn't expect that in addition to Qingqing, there would suddenly be two other elite-level bodyguards around them. But this secret will inevitably disappear after today, Luo Yan sighed in her heart, and asked Dai Lan again-"I asked you in the morning, what happened to Concubine Jing and the Shangguan family recently, is there any news coming back now?" ”

"King An and King Pingnan have discussed the family affairs of their children, but the prince must agree to marry a concubine, and King An has not been summoned to see the emperor, so it has been delayed." Dai Lan was originally responsible for document sorting and message transmission, so she was naturally well-informed when she inquired about the news.

Luo Yan smiled bitterly: It's because of him again! King An naturally picked the most precious Shangguan Yueling of the Shangguan family, she is not comparable to concubines like Lan Xin and Lan Ting, back then in the Da Yan nobles, that is, she could suppress her. She and Shantai Yangfei are probably a match made in heaven for anyone to see - stop! Now is not the time to think about that! She no longer has the power to be sad and cranky, but to live first, and to live standing and living, to live better and longer for those who are waiting for her to fall.

"This veil, give it to Father-in-law De now, by the way, there are too many banquets in the palace, I am afraid that it will affect the big sacrifice and sacrifice." Luo Yan instructed Gu Yu lightly.

On the second day, Yongnian instructed that this year was a particularly grand sacrifice, Luo Yan should prepare a good sacrifice and fast in the house for half a month, and the concubines should not disturb her if they have nothing to do, so Concubine Jing pushed down the banquet of the princess. On the third day, news came from the palace that Cao Zhaoyi was demoted to a talented person because of his loss of honor in front of the emperor, and another day later, the two palace maids in the palace of Concubine De were kicked out of the palace for some reason. In the afternoon of the same day, Concubine Xian sent Luo Yan a piece of Nanzhu, saying that she was adding makeup to her.

Luo Yan gently picked up a pearl the size of a lotus seed, and smiled at the visitor: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is too polite, go back and say that I understand her intentions, I am really happy about things, so I am cheeky to thank her for the reward, I remember that Niangniang used to love me the most, and I will ask her to take care of her more in the future." ”

In the next few days, the palace was calm, but Yun'er detected poison powder on the clothes sent by the Huanyi Bureau, and then Luo Yan's clothes were hand-washed by several palace maids in the courtyard and hung in the house; In the kitchen, Aunt Yuan found a whole chicken that had eaten poisonous mushrooms among the ingredients sent, as well as several carefully matched things, she dealt with them silently, and turned around Qingqing to drive away two groups of people who were snooping on the courtyard wall at night...... The only consolation is that the people in this courtyard, including the little palace maid and eunuch who sprinkled the sweep, have never moved.

Luo Yan wrote her own mansion newspaper renovation plan while restarting her physical exercise plan, while coping with this endless tricks, and playing with Xiao Jixianger for a while every day, although she stayed at home, her life was fulfilling.

A few days before the winter solstice, the time of the day suddenly changed, a few days of cold wind, and a snowfall, the world was already full of the cold of winter, Xiao Meng came back and said that the lake in the imperial garden had been frozen, and it seemed that there were concubines discussing to make holes in the ice to fish and play.

On this day, it was only five days before the sacrifice day, coinciding with the day when Concubine Jing went to the Buddha hall to worship the Buddha and offer incense, Luo Yan finished her daily homework, thinking that it was close to the time when Xiao Jixianger got out of school, so she asked the small kitchen to make his favorite Poria cake, and was copying a copy of the "Old Tang Book" that she had read twice recently, and suddenly Xiao Xuezi, who followed Xiao Jixianger all the way, screamed and rushed in: "Oh no, Your Highness, Your Highness has fallen into the lake!" ”
