'Bang! ’

The vase shattered to the ground, reflecting Zhou Cheng's angry face.

"Say! Tell me exactly what happened right away!! ”

"Yes, yes! Here's the thing, yesterday the old man went to the court, I don't know what happened and didn't return for a long time, the coachman went to inquire and was told that the old man had angered Long Yan, and he had been put in prison at the moment! I don't know anything else......"

Angered Long Yan?!

Zhou Chenghu felt that his brain was a little dizzy, although he was the son of Shangshu, he had never been to the palace once, let alone seen the saint, and he never told himself some things about his father...

What's the use of knowing why? Without his father's protection, he is nothing!

Zhou Cheng, who realized this, collapsed weakly on the bed.

Compared with his sad frustration, Wan Lin was very happy at the moment, took the hairpin on the stall and gestured and asked, "Do you think I look good with this?" ”

Ning Ke had already carried a lot of things in his hands, but he still said very firmly, "It's beautiful!" Wrap up! ”

This made the hawker very happy, and he was just about to start packing when he was stopped by Wan Lin, "Hey, I didn't say I wanted it!" ”

Then you sneered at Ning Kejiao, "Why are you like this, I didn't say I liked it, I just asked if you look good!" ”

"I think you look good with it, so I'll wrap it up, why is the shopkeeper still stunned, hurry up and wrap it up, how much silver?"

"Thank you for your patronage, three taels of silver!"

"Just such a hairpin with no beads and no gold, you sell it for three taels?" This shocked Wan Lin, and hurriedly stopped Ning Ke from taking out the money, although she was born with a golden spoon, she was not arrogant.

Fortunately, this old man Wan has been taught well since childhood, and when Wan Lin was seven or eight years old, he let her try to do business on her own, and at the same time made her understand the truth that life is not easy, so even if she has the identity of the eldest lady, she lives very frugally.

At this moment, when she heard that such a simple little hairpin was sold for three taels of silver, she was the first one not to agree.

The stall owner smiled and said, "Girl, my jewelry here is first-class, don't look at its simple style, but it is durable, and now it is this simple style that is popular in the capital, which is eye-catching, and it is said that it comes from the harem!" ”

Wan Lin was a little curious when she heard this, "Then you should tell me, which of this harem is not dressed up and showy, trying to attract the attention of the saint, and someone else has found another way?" ”

"It's the new Li Jieyu, I heard that although her appearance is not very outstanding, her temperament is extremely gentle, everyone is desperately competing for favor, but she takes care of herself to enjoy flowers and drink tea, just like in her own home."

Wan Lin snorted lightly, "What woman doesn't want to jump on the branch and be a phoenix, I think she did it on purpose!" ”

"I don't know about this, I still heard this from others, girl, this silver hairpin looks good with any clothes, you won't regret buying it!"

Wan Lin was in no mood at all at the moment, and put down the silver hairpin and pulled Ning Ke away.

Letting the hawker shout behind him as if he hadn't heard it, Ning Ke whispered, "Don't you really want it?" ”

"What do I want that thing for, I don't lack this hairpin in my jewelry box!" Wan Lin frowned and thought, "The Li Jieyu in his mouth... Do you know what it is? ”

Ning Ke was a little embarrassed, "How do I know this, I don't want to ask about the things in the palace." ”

"What, are you curious about the Lijieyu who comes out of the mud and is not stained?"

Wan Lin snorted lightly, "I just want to see if this woman is really as beautiful as the little trader said, or if she deliberately pretended to attract the saint!" ”

Now although her aunt is the queen, she is not as favored as before in the harem, it is nothing more than that these new women in the palace are more powerful than one another, plus they are young and beautiful, they have a few more chances of winning, no matter how you look at it, her aunt is in a weak position.

What does it say that it is out of the mud and not stained, she doesn't believe that there is such a woman at all!

Which woman who has entered the harem is not willing to sacrifice everything for power? She really didn't believe it!

The next day, Wan Lin found an excuse and handed over the sign to enter the palace.

As soon as I arrived in the palace, I saw my aunt sitting in the hall, and when I saw her coming, I waved to her with a smile on my face and said, "Come over and let the palace take a look, I heard that you have been running around outside all this time, this autumn sun is poisonous, don't get a tan!" ”

Wan Lin obediently approached her, "I didn't run around, Queen Mother, I heard that there was a Li Jieyu in the palace recently, and she is deeply loved by the saints, but is it true?" ”

At the mention of this, the smile on Queen Li Jieyu's face froze, and she stroked her little face and asked in a low voice, "Where did you hear that?" ”

"I just listened to what others said, and said that she was ice and jade, like a lotus flower, she was muddy and not stained, and she didn't like to use any flowers and branches to show off jewelry......"

"Alright." The queen interrupted her words and made a silent gesture, "You don't have to talk about it, the matter of the concubines in this palace can't be discussed casually, if Your Majesty knows about it, it won't be able to escape the board." ”

Wan Lin was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth, she was also angry for a while, and she forgot that there were such rules in the palace, but fortunately her aunt reminded her in time.

Otherwise, if it is really overheard by a mouthy palace maid, and it is spread again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"You!" The queen scratched her little qiong's nose and chuckled, "The palace still thinks that you girl hurriedly handed over the sign into the palace for what's the matter, it turns out that it's for this kind of thing?" ”

Wan Lin smiled embarrassedly, took her arm and said coquettishly, "I'm not worried about you!" ”

"What is there to worry about in this palace?" The queen didn't feel good and said, "It's just a little Jieyu, no matter how powerful she is, she has to climb slowly, this palace is not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry, and you are not allowed to do this in the future." ”

Wan Lin smiled happily at this time, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, more teachings from the queen!" ”

"You girl, Lian'er, bring the new pastries made in the dining room to Lin'er recently, this new chef's pastries are good, especially the red bean paste pancakes, sweet but not greasy."

"It's a mother, slave and maid will go." Lian'er answered, leaving her aunt and nephew whispering in the dormitory, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.

But when Lian'er ran to the dining room to summon her, she was told that the pancakes had been taken by Li Jieyu's maid Ah Tao.

Lian'er was furious, "What are you doing with this minion, this is what the queen mother pointed out, and you dare to give it to others?!" ”

The pastry chef was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Miss Lian'er, spare your life, why don't you make another one?" Soon it will be fine! This thing is fresh and delicious, and the hour just now is a little long, and the taste is not so good, plus the maid begged for it, so the slave gave it to her......"

Lian'er's face became better when she heard this, and she snorted, "Then why are you still stunned, do it quickly, if you delay the hour, I want you to look good!" ”

This pancake is also made quickly, the soft red bean paste cooked on the bread in the bread with milk is added, and then fried in the oil pan until golden brown, and finally taken out and plated.

And Wan Lin in the dormitory also ate this crispy and delicious pie, the red bean paste in it is slightly sweet, and the skin is very crispy, no wonder it is so popular with the queen.

Wan Lin retired after eating snacks, and after she left, Lian'er told her what she had encountered in the dining room today.

The queen took a few sips of the teacup and did not speak, which made Lian'er anxious.

"Niangniang, this Li Jieyu has only been here for less than a month, but she is so fascinated that Her Majesty always stays with her, as Miss Wan said, you still have some measures as well!"
