Chapter 96 Meatloaf

Hearing Concubine Hui ask what the errand was again, Hongluan looked at Concubine Hui with some confusion: "The errand has been explained, it's just to announce the decree, why does my sister still ask?" She suddenly realized: "Sister Huifei, don't you want to ask what is written in the holy decree?" ”

Concubine Hui's face was a little red: "According to the rules, you shouldn't ask, but every proclamator has a number in his heart, lest there be something wrong with the emperor's major affairs, don't you say, sister?" My sister thought that she knew, so she pointed out a few words to her sisters, so that we could do a better job on our first errand. ”

Hongluan shook her head and sighed a few times: "Sister Huifei, this is you, in front of so many sisters, you let me say that you are, or don't you say that you are?" Rules are rules, even if this palace knows what the will is, you can't say it before you announce the will, otherwise what else do you want to do with those rules. Alas, you were also the assistant in the palace, no wonder the emperor asked you to work less, but it was a little ...... when you did things" She shook her head again.

"It's really not that my sister is talkative, it's not that my sister wants to talk about you, this is something that this palace can't say, sister, forgive me." She said that she didn't know whether she should talk about you or not, but in the end, she still counted Concubine Hui down, which made Concubine Hui's face flush and anger flashed between her eyebrows, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

She is no longer from Hongluan, and she has secretly had a few small conflicts with Hongluan, so naturally she will not let Hongluan treat her like before. She swallowed this breath and saluted: "It's my sister who made the time, and my sister taught me a lesson." "It's simply not possible not to bow your head at this time.

The big girl didn't expect that Hongluan just wouldn't say what an errand it was, she and Chun'er collided with each other, and they were all flustered in their hearts; They knew that with what they had done to Hongluan, Hongluan would not be able to let them go. It's just that the big girl thinks that they are already picking girls, and they can live in the palace without dealing with Hongluan.

It's not that she wants to let go of her past grievances, but she wants to find an opportunity to kill Hongluan with one blow; Therefore, she will take refuge in Concubine Hui, just to get close to the emperor through Concubine Hui: only if she is favored by the emperor and can be favored by the emperor, then she will be the second hottest person in the palace.

If the woman in the palace does not have the protection of the emperor, it is of course a dead end; As long as she can win the emperor's heart, she doesn't need to do it herself to get rid of Hongluan at that time, because she knows very well that it is not only she and Chun'er in the palace who want Hongluan's life. For example, Concubine Hui is one.

But she didn't expect that Hongluan would deal with her and Chun'er first this time, and didn't give her a chance to win the emperor's heart at all, so she bothered to make a dress, learn to dance with others, and think deeply about choreographing and practicing dance for a long time, all of which would be in vain. She was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to speak, lest Hongluan would take care of her.

Hongluan looked at the eldest girl and Chun'er: "You are always relieved to be a master in this palace, but do you have anything to say?" For the first time, I followed Concubine Hui to work on an errand and learn more. Some things can be corrected if they are wrong, but if you take a wrong step in some things, you will be in the abyss when you turn back. ”

Her words fell into the ears of the two girls, and they felt that they had ulterior motives but couldn't guess them; Because they are so honest that they have never done anything. Where did the two of them dare to talk casually, Qi Qi saluted and retreated behind Concubine Hui without asking anything, guessing blindly in his heart.

Hongluan got up: "Sister, do you still have to ask?" She smiled as if she was very good at talking.

But Concubine Hui had just been taught a lesson by her, of course Fang Zhaorong and the others would not ask anything again, no matter how curious or worried they were, they couldn't ask, let's see if there is any other way to leave Qinglu Palace for a while: ask again, if the word rules are pressed, they can be flattened.

"Since the sisters didn't want to ask, then I'll trouble you with this matter." Hongluan sent off the guests with tea: "Go early and return early, this is the palace to ask people to set up a banquet, waiting for the sisters to come back to eat wine; Wine, the palace will be well prepared, sisters don't have to worry. Xing'er, you guide the way for the masters; Liu'er, you have to wait for a good life. ”

Concubine Hui and the others had no choice but to get up and salute, and behind Xing'er, they left Qinglu Palace accompanied by Liu Er. Everyone was worried, but because Liu Er and the two couldn't say anything, someone hit the two of them with their ideas; But it was not so easy for Liu Er and Xing'er to pry their mouths open, and they blocked everyone's mouths with a light sentence of not knowing anything.

After passing through the Imperial Garden, Concubine Hui frowned: "Where is this going?" "She has been in the palace for so long, and she has never been to this place. The scenery is not good, and there are towering trees everywhere, which shade the sun and give rise to a somewhat eerie feeling.

Liu Er smiled at her: "Go to the place where the decree is announced." This is the only way to go, and there will be someone in front of you to pick it up in a while, and the mother can rest assured. She raised her voice to Xing'er: "Go a little, Concubine Hui has always been in a hurry, and you can't do it slowly." ”

Concubine Hui frowned slightly and did not speak, she was extremely disgusted with Liu Er and did not dare to attack, so she closed her mouth and followed; Anyway, she is not alone, there are so many people, no matter how bold Wu Hongluan is, he will not dare to blatantly kill so many nobles in the palace.

After turning a rockery, I saw some mottled palace walls, although the sun was shining again, and the surroundings were also bright, but Concubine Hui and the others still felt a little cool: "What kind of place is this?" It's a little cold today, so I knew to let them come out with a cloak. ”

Liu Er shook her head when she heard this: "It's not cold today, how good the weather is." Niangniang's feeling cold may be another reason, well, this place is really dead a lot of people, most of them are resentful, unwilling to die, which may make this place a little gloomy; The slave and maid also heard that if we were not allowed, we should still leave, and go back as soon as possible. ”

Concubine Hui's face turned blue and white when she heard this, and she wanted to reprimand and remembered Hongluan's words, so she had to say: "Don't say something strange and confusing, it's just hearsay, this is a taboo in the palace." Even though she said a few words to Liu'er, she felt the chill worsen.

Not far away, a eunuch came up, which made Concubine Hui's face better, listened to Xing'er and the eunuch say a few words, and led them to the palace gate.

There is a plaque hanging on the palace gate, which reads Siyue Palace.

After seeing the name of the palace, Concubine Hui and the others' faces finally changed greatly, and they now know where this is: Cold Palace! Even if he killed them just now, he couldn't have imagined that the place where Hongluan let them come would be a cold palace. If they knew that they were going to the cold palace to announce the decree, no matter how much Hongluan gave them, they would not come.

Concubine Hui's face changed a few times before she said stiffly: "Let's go in, after announcing the decree, we will go back to the banquet of Concubine Chun." She still didn't know who the decree was for. There were a few concubines of the Empress Dowager in the cold palace at that time, and one or two were concubines from the time of the first emperor - the emperor sent the Empress Dowager in, and now he wants to invite her to leave, or does he want to invite several other concubines to leave?

This will will never be a good thing, otherwise the pure concubine would not let her come; But so far, she still hasn't guessed the pure concubine's thoughts. It's a blessing or a curse, and she can't avoid it now, so let's go in and announce it.

The gate of the cold palace finally opened, and there was no special smell coming from inside, the whole palace was quite clean and tidy, except for the old ones and the cold palace that Concubine Hui usually heard; At the moment, it seems that the people in the cold palace are living a good life except that they have no freedom.

There are still people basking in the sun in the courtyard, their gray hair is neatly combed, the tea is fragrant, the clothes are fluttering, and there are palace people waiting for them: the clothes they wear are okay; And it seems that those cold palace concubines are not much different from the lives they live.

Concubine Hui retracted her gaze and looked at Liu Er: "Receiver, can you say it now?" ”

Liu Er smiled as before: "It's the imperial concubine, please Concubine Hui instruct the head of the cold palace, and the slave and maid can't say more about the next thing." ”

Concubine Hui's willow eyebrows raised: "The imperial concubine? "After the words came out, I immediately understood that the Empress Dowager meant the Empress Dowager; Because the others who should be the crown princess did not get the will to be promoted, and the queen mother was really abolished.

The head of the cold palace bent down: "Wait a minute, the little one will go to invite the princess immediately, and the incense case will be set up soon." He paused slightly: "Do you want to go to the side hall to rest?" There will always be some time. ”

When Concubine Hui heard this, she looked at the old palace concubine who was eating tea in the courtyard: "Set up a seat in the courtyard." She hated the cold palace very much, and she couldn't wait to leave immediately, how could she step into the cold palace. Here, she was extremely uncomfortable.

The eunuch in charge of the palace saluted and retreated, and immediately someone sat down to set up the tea and snacks, but Concubine Hui and the others didn't want to touch those tea and snacks at all, and even the chair Concubine Hui let her personal palace people take out a handkerchief to wipe it, and spread it with a clean handkerchief, before reluctantly sitting down.

The concubine of the palace who drank tea over there kept looking at Concubine Hui and the others, and when she saw them sitting down and bringing people over, she smiled and said: "It's been a long time since so many people have come here at once, well, there is no other way to greet this palace, this is the meat patty I fried myself, you can taste it." ”

The small meatloaf was made extremely exquisitely, but it was made into a small human shape, which made Concubine Hui and the others absolutely have no appetite, and they didn't want to eat the cold palace in the first place, so none of them took the plate of meatloaf; However, they were impressed by the old palace concubine's cooking skills, because the aroma was really attractive, if it wasn't for the cold palace, if it wasn't for the human form, they would really be happy to eat one.
