Chapter 020: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

readx;? As Wei Liangren's words fell, the entire hall of Suochuntai seemed to explode, and the concubines immediately discussed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

What he said was nothing more than that this Lu Liang didn't understand etiquette, didn't distinguish between dignity and inferiority, and had no education. Maybe the women of the harem are used to linking these things with upbringing, and it seems that only in this way can they give people a heavy blow.

After all, they were at the well of the cold palace, and they had all heard that King Yi specially sent a palace maid to serve in Linglong Pavilion for Lu Yingquan, if he didn't take a look at Lu Yingquan, how could King Yi do this?

What's more, Ning Lan died, she could have used this matter to get rid of Lu Yingquan in one fell swoop, after all, she might have been a fine work sent by Ning Palace, but she didn't expect that King Yi would attribute Ning Lan's death to himself, and then avoided talking about it, so that Lu Yingquan easily escaped this catastrophe.

This kind of thing is enough to prove that in King Yi's heart, Lu Yingquan is not important.

Just when everyone was talking, the palace people came in from outside and said, "Qi Qi Empress Dowager, Lu Liangren asked to see him outside the palace and came to ask the Queen Mother for peace." ”

"Let her in. Empress Dowager Jiang listened to the words of the concubines, but she remained silent, and only let the palace people announce Lu Yingquan in.

Soon, under Yun Yao's service, Lu Yingquan stepped into the hall, walked to the center of the hall, and slowly knelt down: "The concubine sees the Queen Mother, and wishes the Queen Mother a long life and good health." ”

The Queen Mother also has a very good heart, and when she saw the marks on Lu Yingquan's neck, she knew that the reason why she was late must be because Shen Che did too much last night, which made her tired. After all, Lu Yingquan's body is delicate and gentle at first glance, and it is not very healthy.

So, she said, "Get up." Come onβ€”get a chair for Lu Liangren and give him a seat. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie. Lu Yingquan thanked him, got up with Yun Yao's support, and sat on the chair.

Because her status is only a good person, and she is a newcomer to the palace, she is naturally placed in the last position, but she doesn't care, she just sits down and listens to the Queen Mother's lecture.

"Sister Lu is such a big shelf, let so many of us wait for you. The other woman in the hall said this, her tone sharp, clearly provocative.

This person is Zhao Meiren, and she is also the most favored of the more than ten beauties in Yiwang's Palace, and she naturally speaks more arrogantly.

When Lu Yingquan heard this, he got up and said, "Let the Queen Mother and the sisters wait for a long time, it's the concubine." The concubines are willing to serve tea to the queen mother and sisters with their own hands to make amends. ”

"Do you know how to make tea?" the Queen Mother asked.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, the concubine's hometown is in Jingguo, where tea is abundant, so the concubine has been in contact since she was a child. Lu Yingquan opened her mouth to explain, but her identity about Jingguo was arranged for her by the Empress Dowager Qin.

When they left Ning Palace, in order to hide her and Ning Lan's identities, everything they lived in Ning Palace was erased by the Queen Mother, and she also had a new identity. She is no longer a criminal minister, but comes from a small family in Jingguo, and her parents are tea farmers.

"I see. Empress Dowager Jiang nodded and said, "It's okay, you come up and let the mourning family see your tea art." ”

After listening to the Queen Mother's instructions, Lu Yingquan walked to the tea table above and began to cook tea.

As for her tea-making skills, although she is not as skilled as those tea-serving female officials in the Ning Palace, she has learned a lot after being by Shen Ze's side for so long, so it is not a difficult task.

Soon, she cooked tea, first poured a cup and presented it to Empress Dowager Jiang, and let Yun Yao take the rest and give it to the concubines.

After the Queen Mother took a sip of tea, a smile flashed on her face, and she said: "Lu Liangren's skills in serving tea are good, and he will come to Suochuntai every morning in the future to serve tea for the mourning family." ”

Yun Yao was serving tea to several beauties at this time, and when she heard the words of the Empress Dowager Jiang, the movements in her hands paused slightly, and she was thinking about what the Empress Dowager meant by this.

Empress Dowager Jiang's words seemed casual, and it seemed that she was really appreciating Yingquan's tea art, but she knew that this was a kind of surveillance in disguise. Let Yingquan come to lock Chuntai every day, firstly, so that she has no extra energy to do other things, and secondly, so that she can get along with Yingquan more, so that she can inquire about the news of Ninggong.

It seems that Empress Dowager Jiang still doubts Yingquan's identity in her heart, even if Yingquan's information is clearly written, she is from Jingguo, and she has only been on an errand in Ning Palace for a few months, and she has never seen Empress Dowager Qin, but Empress Dowager Jiang will not believe it.

After serving the tea, Yun Yao returned to the high platform and stood respectfully beside Lu Yingquan.

"Being able to serve tea to the Queen Mother is a blessing for the concubines. Lu Yingquan said with a smile, "The concubines must come to Suochuntai every day to serve tea to the Queen Mother, and please don't bother the Queen Mother." ”

"How so. Empress Dowager Jiang said, "The mourning family and the mother and daughter of King Yi advocate simplicity, although there are many concubines in the palace, many things are also done by themselves, and the number of palace maids is small." When you come to serve tea, the mourning family happens to have one less palace person to serve, and it also saves a lot of money for the palace. ”

"Yes, the concubine obeys the instructions of the Queen Mother. Lu Yingquan respectfully agreed.

For Lu Yingquan, at this time, she has just emerged in King Yi's Palace, and it is not appropriate to confront many people, and Empress Dowager Jiang is the mother of King Yi, and her status is respected and very important, in the face of these sudden things, she can only obey first, wait until she returns to Linglong Pavilion, and then discuss with Yun Yao.

"Okay, you sit here with the mourning family for a long time, and you are tired, so you should all disperse. After Empress Dowager Jiang finished drinking the tea, she spoke, waved her hand to the people below, and asked them to leave.

Soon, these concubines all retreated, including Lu Yingquan, who also retired and left the main hall of Suochuntai.

When he walked out of the main hall, Lu Yingquan paused slightly, looked back, and then continued to walk forward: "Yun Yao, what do you mean by the Queen Mother?"

"She's still suspicious of you. Yun Yao said, then said her thoughts, and then spoke, "Moreover, if she does this, it can be regarded as killing J as an example." You were late for the first time you asked for peace, and even if she had a good temperament, she was not happy. If I don't let you serve tea, I toss you by the way, it really can't be justified. ”

"That's a clever move. Lu Yingquan said, "I was obviously unhappy in my heart, but I didn't keep quiet and didn't make things difficult for me in front of everyone, so it didn't affect her reputation of kindness, but I tried to summon me alone, but I didn't know what problems she would give me." ”

Both of them understood in their hearts that when the Empress Dowager Jiang was still in the Ning Palace in the past, she was known for her kindness, which was in stark contrast to the ruthlessness of the Empress Dowager Qin. For so many years, Empress Dowager Jiang has maintained such a good reputation, so naturally she is unwilling to break her success in front of their meticulous work.

Walking on the way back to Linglong Pavilion, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yaozai carefully enjoyed the scenery of Yiwang Palace, this was the first time they had wandered outside Linglong Pavilion so openly.

"Isn't this Lu Liangren?Why, please An, don't you go back to your Linglong Pavilion, what are you doing hanging out here?" Suddenly, Zhao Meiren's voice sounded again, disturbing Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao's thoughts.

The two looked back, but saw Zhao Meiren and several other beauties and lovers, blocking their way back to Linglong Pavilion, looking at them with a provocative expression.

"Say hello to my sisters. My sister is going back to Linglong Pavilion. Lu Yingquan blessed his body, and then replied.

"Then please, don't stand here anymore. Zhao Meiren said, and then gave a look to the other concubines, and everyone got out of the way.

Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao glanced at each other, not knowing what this Zhao beauty wanted to do, so they cautiously passed through the middle of this pile of people, wanting to go back to Linglong Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Yingquan walked between them with Yun Yao, this Zhao beauty suddenly rushed out and slammed into Yun Yao. In the next second, she slapped Yun Yao's face:

", you don't have long eyes, can you hit me on such a wide road?"

When everyone saw Zhao Meiren in trouble, they got out of the way one after another, so as not to cause trouble to themselves. And Lu Yingquan looked at this situation, he was angry, and felt aggrieved for Yun Yao, so he immediately rushed up and shouted: "It's clearly your own ......"

But before she finished speaking, Yun Yao grabbed her arm and stopped her.

Then, Yun Yao knelt on the ground and apologized to Zhao Meiren: "Zhao Meiren forgives her sins, it's the slave's fault, the slave didn't see clearly when she walked, and asked the beauty to be gracious." ”

"Hmph! Zhao Meiren listened to Yun Yao's words, and then she was satisfied, and then she said to Lu Yingquan, "Lu Yingquan, you can see clearly, a slave is more interesting than you." Don't think that Your Highness favors you, and you can be in this Yi Wang Palace. How dare you let so many of us wait for you? Let me tell you, next time, this slap will not fall on her face. ”

Lu Yingquan held back the fire in her heart, but when she saw Yun Yao still kneeling on the ground, she knew that Yun Yao's attitude was to temporarily calm things, so she could only suppress her anger and said:

"The lesson of the beauty is that the concubine must pay attention in the future and will not commit it again. ”

"That's pretty much it. Zhao Meiren finished arrogance, then turned around and left with the maidservant Baoqing beside her, "Let's go." ”

With Zhao Meiren leaving, this drama can be regarded as coming to an end, and the remaining few people, no one is as arrogant as Zhao Meiren, and no one dares to be so arrogant, after all, they are either not favored or have already been angry, so no one dares to touch the head when Lu Yingquan is favored.

Everyone else also left, and the road to Linglong Pavilion suddenly widened, Lu Yingquan helped Yun Yao up, touched her face, and tears fell involuntarily:

"I'm sorry, Yun Yao, for making you feel wronged. You don't deserve to suffer like this, it's all for me......"

"I'm fine. Yun Yao smiled, "It's just a slap, I've survived many punishments in the Ning Palace, are you still afraid of this?"

"Zhao Meiren!" Lu Yingquan listened to Yun Yao's words, said these three words fiercely, and then said, "I remember her, it's best not to offend me, otherwise I will definitely be unkind to her!"

"Let's go, let's go back first. Yun Yao knew Lu Yingquan's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The two quickly returned to Linglong Pavilion, and Lu Yingquan instructed Sisi to bring a towel and cold water to cover Yun Yao's face. Zhao Meiren's slap was really hard, obviously sprinkling her anger on Lu Yingquan on Yun Yao.
