On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the imperial dining room followed the annual custom and specially cooked dumplings and sent them to the palaces.

Luo Ling just finished combing her makeup, put the small silver comb that Xiahou Yan gave her into the jewelry box, and while Dong'er was not paying attention, she quietly carried it in her arms again, just did it just not to arouse suspicion. I didn't know and thought that she often went out of the palace to buy it back, she was cautious, and with a little joy.

Later, she heard that the emperor disposed of Concubine Zheng last night, abolished Concubine Zheng's position, and sent her to the cold palace.

The emperor originally wanted to directly order Concubine Zheng to be killed, but fortunately, yesterday was the most important festival of the year, and it was read for the sake of the thirteen princes who were still young, and it was really difficult to kill in the palace. This is really not conducive to the national fortune of this year, and Emperor Chu Yu said that it is very taboo for wolves to bite and kill palace people in the palace.

The white wolf heard that it was also ordered by Emperor Chu Yu to be broken into ten thousand pieces, and the wolf meat was fed to those beasts who were imprisoned in the Colosseum all year round.

Earlier, Luo Ling had also heard Feng Xia talk about the Colosseum, but that was when she was in the Great Lord, and Feng Xia had not lost her memory at that time.

The Colosseum is a favorite game of the Liang royal family, which is staged almost once a year, not killing and fighting between beasts, but throwing slaves into animal cages to watch them fight with beasts.

Normally, a beast will always put ten slaves in it, and wear the clothes of various noble names. Then the nobles made bets on whoever had the longest slave to live in it for a certain period of time, and that nobleman would win all the bets.

The beasts that were captured here are basically lions, wild wolves, and brown bears, and almost all of them are hungry for three days, so these beasts often have green eyes and pounce when they see people! It's several times crazier than the usual bloodthirsty attacks.

Such a cruel and inhumane practice is indeed in line with the law of the Liang Kingdom in the royal family of the Liang State, and it is also a high-level play among the nobles. Here, the fate of the slaves is like a mustard, just to satisfy the perverted desires of these nobles, and the bloody fight is just for everyone's pleasure.

So on this day, the powerful nobles in Xuanyang City and outside can enter the palace to participate, of course, this is a later story.

Dong'er brought in the hot dumplings, "Girl, eat it while it's hot, these are the five-color dumplings that the Queen Mother specially ordered the imperial dining room to send you!" It is said that these five colors represent the five blessings, and eating these five colors of dumplings on the first day of the New Year is a good sign that the five blessings are coming! ”

Looking at the bowl of colorful dumplings on the table, the Queen Mother was really very good to her, and even such a trivial matter had to worry about her. Later, she learned that other palaces were ordinary dumplings made of white flour, except for the emperor and the queen mother, who belonged to her to eat these five-color dumplings.

Seeing that the people below were all looking at her so happily, she naturally acquiesced to their kindness, but really hoped that she could be blessed. But when I think of someone in Xuanyang City now, I wonder if he has eaten dumplings?

Luo Ling saw that everyone was watching her eat dumplings, and she couldn't get distracted anymore. She smiled slightly, and didn't forget to say before eating,

"Empress Dowager Xie!"

She pinched the jade spoon with her orchid fingers, scooped a bean-green dumpling, put it to her lips and bit it. The dumplings are tender and delicious, and the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room is good. There is also a hint of green vegetables in it, which must be the unique flavor emanating from this dumpling skin.

After eating a whole bowl of dumplings, Luo Ling's eyebrows were a little tired, but his face was full of red light, and Dong'er and the palace maids didn't think much about it. Xu is Luo Ling was frightened by the white wolf last night, and his blood was up, and his face naturally flushed.

Dong'er has always been able to speak again,

"The girl's face is like a peach blossom today, maybe there will be any happy events?"

As soon as the words fell, the little palace maid outside ran into the house, "Girl, Lord Zhan is here!" ”

"Let him in!"

She thought, it is rare for Murong Zhan to come to Juyuan, usually this is the palace of the Queen Mother, if there is no permission from the Queen Mother, ordinary people really can't see her.

Luo Ling leaned back on the chaise longue, covered with a velvet blanket. It's not that she's pretentious, but she's really not in good shape, and she was tossed by someone again and again last night, and she was really weak.

Soon, Murong Zhan strode in, with a slight sadness between his eyebrows, he was slightly stunned when he saw Luo Ling, and then sat down opposite her unceremoniously.

Luo Ling waved his hand towards Dong'er, "You all go down, I have something to say to Lord Zhan." ”

All the palace maids in the house retreated, and there were only two left, and Luo Ling was not afraid of people gossiping, because she still had less gossip?

"Tell me, did you find anything?"

As if she had guessed what he was going to do, she seemed to know his purpose as soon as she spoke.

Murong Zhan had a slightly cold smile on his face, "As you expected, last night, when I went back to Murong Mansion to reunite with the blessing, someone in my Shangshu Mansion really turned over!" ”

"They're here for my things, and anyone who has some friendship with me will become the object of their suspicion, and you're no exception." She said lightly, and raised her eyes slightly to look at him opposite,

"You didn't show any flaws, did you?"

"Naturally not, that's why I told you about this early in the morning in the name of giving you a gift, and you also have a bottom in your heart."

With that, Murong Zhan pulled out a delicate purple box from his sleeve. Get up and put it on the low table at her hand.

"What you want!"

Luo Ling reached out and took the small purple box, slowly opened it and took a look.

"Thank you! Mo Xiaoyue is still bothering you to take care of it more, and after a few days, you will find a reason to find a time to send everyone in the West Chambers out of Xuanyang City. ”

When she talked about Mo Xiaoyue, her tone was indifferent, and even Murong Zhan didn't explain many things, just asking him to take good care of his friend.

At the end of the Ming Palace, Lin Moyu brought a maid to visit early in the morning, this maid's name is Bing'er, and she is still holding a gift in her hand. Recently, Murong attacked her and saw that she was honest in the house, but in fact, it was ostensibly given to her as a summoner, but in fact it was surveillance.

When the people in charge of the Ming Palace saw Lin Moyu coming, they didn't look at their faces as before, but went in to report respectfully.

After a while, the palace maid looked polite and came out to greet her in person.

"Third Lady, please!"

Lin Moyu carried the soup woman in his arms and walked in satisfied.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Lin Moyu said coldly, "You just wait outside!" ”

This sentence was deliberately said by Lin Moyu to Bing'er.

Bing'er was also knowledgeable and respectful, "Yes, Third Lady!" ”

Because she is Lin Moyu's personal maid, in front of her, she is called Mrs., and there are only slight changes in the presence of other ladies.

In the house, Xiyue saw that the corners of Lin Moyu's mouth raised slightly, and after Lin Moyu sat down, Xiyue instructed the personal palace maid beside her,

"Go, prepare tea for the third lady!"

Lin Moyu took the teacup in his hand, "Thank you, princess!" ”

Before he could drink the tea, he heard Xiyue complain.

"I didn't expect to say goodbye to the third day, you didn't disappoint Princess Ben this time! Merely... The slut is not only fine, this princess heard that the imperial grandmother also instructed the imperial dining room to make five-color dumplings for her, what is she, this princess has not eaten five-color dumplings yet, I thought that yesterday's incident would implicate her. As a result..."

She didn't mean to blame Lin Moyu, who knew that after the wolf was released, Xiahou Luoling escaped, but it wasn't for nothing.

Before she came, she asked Sima Tai, so she just listened to talking to Xiyue at the moment.

"Yesterday's incident, the princess might as well tell her concubine in detail, perhaps... Are there new results emerging? ”

"As long as you can give me some good ideas and let this princess pull out this thorn in the eye, what do you want then? Just open your mouth! ”

Xiyue now hates Luo Ling, she didn't kill her because of Xiahou Yan, and now Xiahou Yan doesn't marry her and pushes her to the emperor of Daxunguo, how can she swallow this breath?

The father agreed to the marriage, but the queen mother did not help her, but the old and immortal queen mother also turned to Xiahou Luoling, she had no other way but to help herself.

So when Lin Moyu came to see her some time ago, she agreed to see Lin Moyu. As long as she can make the current Xiahou Luoling die, she will dare to do anything.

"The concubine doesn't want anything, the concubine's goal is the same as the princess, Xiahou Luoling and her hypocrisy and viciousness. The concubines are all killed by her now, so I can't wait for her to die! ”

Lin Moyu took a sip of tea, with a gloomy smile on his emaciated face.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu frowned, Xu is tea is cool, and she couldn't help coughing after drinking it.

Her body has a root disease, and the harsh winter is a little unbearable for her body, although she wears a thick one, but this cough problem has never been cured.

If it weren't for Sima Tai saying that he had a prescription, she really didn't want to run around the palace for him in and out of the palace this winter.

Xiyue smiled predictively, and both of them had a feeling of embarrassment.

"Last night, Princess Ben had the wolf fed the medicine..."

In the Zhangming Palace, no one outside heard what was being said inside? I only knew that Lin Moyu had been in it for a long time.

As soon as Murong Zhan, the head of Ju Yuan, left, she asked people to put on a heavy cloak for herself and went to the main hall of the Queen Mother against the wind and snow. At this time of the Chinese New Year, the Queen Mother was naturally busy, and when she heard someone inside, she stood at the door outside, signaling the palace maid guarding the door not to report first.

The palace maid nodded, knowing that Xiahou Luoling was a person who knew how to count etiquette.

Luo Ling stood respectfully at the door, there was no intention of eavesdropping, but after her ears were reborn, they were more sensitive than ordinary people, although there was a door, maybe the palace maid didn't really hear it, but she could still hear it.

"The midwife of the year has been found?" The Queen Mother asked the man solemnly.

"Back to the Queen Mother, since Ling Qianxue gave birth, Xiahou Yuan, who was still the crown prince at the time, blocked the news and killed all the people who had delivered babies. So... The day of the girl's birth is still difficult to determine! ”

It was a man's voice, with a slight sense of vicissitudes, and it seemed to be a little old.

"When the mourning family saw her for the first time, they had a different feeling, she looked like Ling Qianxue, but the mourning family always felt that she was a little..."

The man said, "Why doesn't the Queen Mother drop blood for a blood test?" This is also the most effective person who can determine the identity of the girl. If it is really dragon blood, she is a real golden branch and jade leaf, and she will definitely not wronged the real princess. ”
