After passing the palace forbidden levels, from a distance, I met a group of people on the red brick palace road.

Walking in the front is a beautiful woman in an orange dress with beaded hair and a high bun. It's very far away, but even if you can't see her face, you can guess her graceful demeanor.

Wei Qihua immediately greeted him, and he was very familiar with the beauty, and saw that the two of them were talking and laughing happily, and they both looked at each other, and they were all charming.

Subsequently, Wei Qi's personal maid Zhitong was instructed to come back and tell Dong Xuanying and Dong Qianmo, "If the princess wants to talk to the concubine, she will not go to see the queen mother, let the two young ladies wait first." The princess said that the Queen Mother should take a nap at this hour, and she is in the best mood after waking up, and she often likes to listen to some piano music for entertainment. ”

Dong Qianmo sneered in his heart, in this way, he really lied to the coffin - a liar!

The Queen Mother's anger when she gets up after taking a nap every day is the most headache for the palace people, no one dares to touch the Queen Mother's moldy head at this time, Wei Qihua told him like this, it is simply to let Dong Xuanying go blind.

When I came to the Queen Mother's Nianxiang Palace, there was already a palace waiting outside, leading Dong Xuanying and Dong Qianmo to the side hall to wait.

The palace people know that the queen mother has two hobbies, one is to listen to the piano, and the other is to raise birds.

Under the verandah, one person high, all kinds of bird cages are hung in a sparse manner, fragrant wood, black silver, stone carving, jade carving, everything.

In the cage, there are crested ibises, thrushes, embroidered eyes, chins, hibiscus, golden silk, colorful, big white cockatoos and other famous birds, only outside the hall of this verandah, I am afraid that there are nearly 100 birds.

"Hey, Miss, look," Xiangyun stretched out his hand and said curiously, "Isn't that a swallow's nest?" Why do you still have swallows in the palace? ”

It turned out that under a low eaves of the verandah, there was a straw-clustered bird's nest, and in it sat a female bird's nest with four or five small eggs underneath.

Xiangyun thought it was interesting, so she walked over to take a look, and looking at it, she couldn't help but say, "Strange, this bird's nest is really fragrant, more fragrant than the moon flowers!" As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and take the female swallow and smell it.

Just as his fingers had already touched the swallow's feathers, an urgent voice sounded.

"Stop! Don't mess around! ”

A palace lady rushed from the end of the verandah, shouting, "Hey! That's untouchable, and you're going to lose your head if you touch it! ”

Xiangyun was startled and quickly retracted his hand.

A double-bearded palace lady holds a tray full of various kinds of bird food, each particle of bird food is marked with a bamboo stick, which kind of bird food, several times a day.

She glared at Xiangyun and said angrily: "You people from outside the palace, you don't know the rules, how can you mess with the things in the palace?" Do you know that if you reach out and grab this one today, your little life will be taken away from you? ”

Xiangyun was not convinced, and muttered: "I'll take a look at it casually, there are several of this kind of swallow nest in our house." ”

Gong E sneered: "Open your eyes and take a look, is this a swallow's nest?" Look at the five eggs under that swallow, have you ever seen a red-shelled swallow egg? ”

Xiangyun looked at it, and sure enough, the egg hatched by the swallow was dark red, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What kind of bird's egg is this, how can the swallow hatch it?" ”

Gong E glanced at her, didn't explain, only warned in a cold voice: "This is the most precious thing in our Nianxiang Palace, even we don't dare to approach easily, aren't you standing far away?" ”

After Gong E finished speaking, she held her head high and went to the other side of the verandah to feed the birds.

Xiangyun looked at it twice again, and scolded her belly, they are all slaves and maids, I am serving the daughter of the princess, and she is serving a few birds, what is there to be proud of.

"Xiangyun, come back, don't be troublesome." Dong Xuanying said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, miss." Xiangyun returned to the side hall and stood behind Dong Xuanying.

When Wei Qihua left, he took two maids with him, and now there is another person following Dong Qianmo, named Zhitong.

She said: "Our princess said, the king of Hades is so difficult to see little ghosts, and the palace maids in the queen mother's palace think that they are worth a hundred times after being trained by the queen mother, and they all regard themselves as immortals, and even the princess is not in her eyes." ”

Xiangyun widened his eyes and asked, "Really?" Just a palace maid, dare to show the princess's face? ”

Zhitong said: "It's not, our princess was kept by the hospitable Queen Mother a few days ago, and she lived in Nianxiang Palace for several days, and she was fed up with those people's anger." They are one set in front of the Queen Mother, and another set behind the Queen Mother, but they can take people! ”

Xiangyun couldn't help but echo: "That's it, everyone is a slave, who is higher than whom?" ”

Zhitong said again: "Anyway, the Queen Mother will wake up in a while, why don't we stand under the porch and look at the flowers in the garden?" The strange flowers and plants in the Queen Mother's Palace, you haven't even heard of it! ”

Xiangyun wanted to go, so she asked Dong Xuanying: "It's boring to sit, Miss, let's go out to see the flowers?" ”

Dong Xuanying said: "I'm not going." ”

Xiangyun looked at Dong Qianmo again and asked, "Is the fourth lady going?" ”

Dong Qianmo said: "If I don't go, you two will also stay in the palace honestly and close the palace door." ”

Xiangyun was very puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" This is not at home, we are guests in the palace, how can we close the palace door indiscriminately? "I secretly said in my heart, the fourth lady is not like the second lady, she once came to the palace to visit the eldest lady who is a noble person, these four young ladies have lived in the boudoir for a long time, they have never seen the world, and even their ideas are ridiculous.

Dong Qianmo's eyes were clear and bright, the corners of his lips were raised, and he said word by word: "Close the door of the palace, someone asked only that it was windy through the hall, and Miss Dong was afraid of the wind." Then he said, "I know that you are the maid of the second sister, but I usually can't call you." But today is different, I stopped you from standing under the porch, just to save your life, and I don't listen to you. ”

Xiangyun was extremely strange, silent, and looked at Dong Xuanying. Dong Xuanying just glanced at Dong Qianmo in a hurry, then gave up, ignoring it.

On the contrary, it was the maid of the palace who weaved Tong, and after listening to Dong Qianmo's words, her face was indescribably sneaky.

At this time, the four people in the hall were sullen, each with a thought.

"Okay, just Miss Yisi." Xiangyun reluctantly moved to close the door of the temple.

"No, it can't be turned off!" Zhitong stopped, "Even if you want to close the door, you have to say hello to the people in the Queen Mother's palace first, and you can't move without permission!" ”

Xiangyun hesitated at the door, but didn't close the door.

Just as she was hesitating, she only felt a tingling pain on the tips of her fingers, and looked at it with a low cry, and found that a yellow-brown bee had fallen on her fingertips, and she was startled, and said, "Ouch, is this a bee or a wasp?" Why are you still stinging people? ”

When he raised his eyes again, the bird's nest, which had just been cherished by Gong E, was now surrounded by a chaotic swarm of bees. The swallow, which was originally hatching eggs, let out a wail and wanted to break out of the swarm, but was outnumbered.

Zhitong hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, let's go and help!" The palace maid said that this is the most expensive bird's egg, but there must be no trouble. ”

Xiangyun was afraid of bee stings, shook his head and said, "Don't care, bees don't sting eggshells anyway." ”

At this time, the swallow that hatched the eggs was besieged by the bee swarm, and went crazy in pain, and finally kicked its legs and overturned the nest. There were no eggs under the nest, and the next moment, a piece of juice mixed with egg whites and yolks was seen flowing out of the bird's nest that was buckled on the ground.

By the time the lady in charge of feeding the birds arrived, the swallows had already flown away, and the bees had also flown away after the swallows, leaving only this mess on the ground.

Just now, Gong'e, who had taught Xiangyun a lesson, also came, and immediately paused, and said angrily: "You, you said that you should not move, you still move, now you have to pay for your life, and you have to punish us!" ”

As soon as Xiangyun heard the word "loss of life", his legs weakened at that time, and he snorted: "No, it's not me, there are bees, there were a lot of bees just now!" ”

The lady in charge had an ugly face, and ordered the palace people in a deep voice: "Escort this cheap maid, and when the queen mother wakes up later, no one will say anything about the broken bird's egg, when will the queen mother be in a good mood, and then return the matter." ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, several palace ladies and internal supervisors detained Xiangyun with a ten-pound wooden flail and held him under the steps.

Xiangyun was almost frightened and fainted, crying and shouting twice. An internal eunuch told her: "Wake up the Queen Mother, ten of you are not enough to cut." ”

At this time, Xiangyun didn't dare to cry, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the side hall for help. From her point of view, she could only see Dong Xuanying and Dong Qianmo's floor-dragging skirts, one was gorgeous and the other was elegant, but they didn't move at all.

Xiangyun suddenly thought that she was just a slave who sold herself to the Dong family, she had been wronged like this, and she was in the palace where everyone was in danger, how could the two young ladies risk being implicated and help her speak? Suddenly despaired.

The lady in charge glanced at the two Dong family ladies who were still using tea in the side hall, one sat more firmly than the other, and there was a slight doubt in her heart.

But no matter how stable it is, it's useless, these five dark red eggs are the Queen Mother's beloved things, there are only five in the world, all of them have been broken at once, where to find the Queen Mother?

The maid of the Dong Mansion caused such a monstrous disaster in the palace, and her master was also guilty of not restraining her subordinates.

Another maid Zhitong, the lady in charge recognized that she was Princess Yu's maidservant, so she frowned and asked her, "The princess has also entered the palace?" Why don't you follow these two Miss Dong and let them get into trouble in Nianxiang Palace? ”

When something happened before, Zhitong hid far away and hid behind a rosewood shelf. At this time, she ran out, knelt down to the grandmother in charge, and cried: "Mama raised her noble hand, it wasn't Xiangyun who overturned the bird's nest, Xiangyun was innocent." ”

When Xiangyun heard this, there was someone who spoke for herself, and she was immediately very moved, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mama spares her life, it really has nothing to do with the maid, it was made by a group of bees!" ”

The lady in charge naturally didn't believe it, thinking that this was a quibble, not to mention that the palace never kept bees for fear of frightening the concubines, and she had never seen swarms of bees. Even if a swarm of bees did pass by the palace, how much effort would it have to overturn the straw and plaster nests?

Shuang Gong Gong E snorted: "Lie and don't make drafts, how many years have we lived in this palace, and the bees we have seen can be counted on ten fingers." Besides, why don't the bees come early or late, but as soon as you enter the palace, you will summon the bees and destroy the Queen Mother's beloved things? ”

Xiangyun was full of mouths, and she couldn't defend herself, but fortunately, there was a weaving tong next to her who spoke for her: "It's all here, don't hide it for your master, Xiangyun!" Why are you so troubled? ”

At this moment, Xiangyun was confused, and he didn't understand what Zhitong was talking about.

But when the lady in charge heard this, her brows furrowed even deeper. Zhitong said this, it was not the maid of the Dong Mansion who overturned the bird's nest, but ...... A young lady from the Dong Mansion?

This maid who shouted grievances in her mouth was actually a scapegoat pushed out by her master?

The lady in charge showed suspicion in her eyes, first looked at Dong Xuanying, who was holding a silk handkerchief tightly with a little nervousness in her beautiful eyes at the moment, and then looked at Dong Qianmo, who was holding the teacup with one hand and not even trembling at her fingertips.

"You say, you were wronged?" The lady in charge stared at Xiangyun and asked in a deep voice.

Xiangyun nodded vigorously, she was really wronged!

"Which of the two Dong family ladies in the hall is your master?" The lady in charge asked, "Did she push you out to confess?" ”

Xiangyun, who was wearing a wooden flail, was stunned when she heard such a question.
