Chapter 28: Borrowing Money

When he was woken up by An Lan, it was already dark, and Lin Qingluan sat up and was stunned for a moment, and then remembered to look at the traces on his side.

There was a person who had been lying down, but the temperature had been lost, and it was estimated that he left early.

Lin Qingluan lowered her eyes, she thought that she would not be able to sleep if there was a stranger around her, but she didn't expect that not only did she fall asleep, but she also fell asleep very quickly, and she slept very well.

Is......

She shook her head, no longer bothered with these, and as soon as she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, she heard that Concubine Liang asked to see her.

"Concubine Liang?" Lin Qingluan frowned, she had no personal relationship with the third concubine, and Concubine Liang was even more cowardly, how could she come so early in the morning.

She got up and dressed: "Let her wait." He remembered something again and asked, "Celestia is coming along?" ”

"Yes, Concubine Liang is here with the eldest princess." Mu Tang responded.

Lin Qingluan bowed slightly: "Go pick up a plate of fresh snacks and send them over, don't get those that are easy to choke." ”

"Yes." Mu Tang turned around and prepared.

An Lan waited for this Lin Qingluan to dress and wash, and when she heard her arrangement for the eldest princess, she smiled and said: "The child is cute, the master is still young, and after two years of body conditioning, he can also get a prince and princess." ”

"Huh." Lin Qingluan lowered his eyes and smiled, didn't say anything, just cleaned up and went to the main hall.

Concubine Liang was a little uneasy and only sat on half a stool, and the eldest princess was also sitting there with her, and the snacks on the table showed no signs of moving.

Hearing the palace people announcing the arrival of the concubine, Concubine Liang stood up suddenly, and the eldest princess also got up a little dazed, and the mother and daughter looked at the entrance of the palace together.

Lin Qingluan came in and saw Shangguan Yanglan, who was just five years old, and couldn't help but smile.

The five-year-old girl was white, tender and soft, with bulging cheeks like a mouse, and a pair of big black and bright eyes blinking at her, with some unconscious amazement and admiration.

In the past, the two only met at the banquet, but the child was prone to illness and couldn't sit still for too long, and Concubine Liang was afraid of provoking Shangguan Yan's displeasure, so she never brought a child to participate eight times out of ten.

At this time, it was the first time I had seen each other since I was reborn.

After Lin Qingluan sat down, he waved his hand to let Concubine Liang get up and sit down, and then asked Shangguan Yanglan: "Isn't the dim sum delicious?" ”

"Yes, is it for me?" The child was still a little surprised and surprised, and when he saw Lin Qingluan nodding, he obediently saluted again, "Thank you, concubine." ”

"Eat, don't be restrained." After Lin Qingluan finished speaking, his tone lightened a little when he looked at Concubine Liang again, "Concubine Liang came over early in the morning, but is there something?" ”

"The concubine is, just thank the concubine Niangniang for the birthday gift to the eldest princess......" Concubine Liang smiled with a little confidence, "Niangniang bothered, she is a villain, and she is not worth such many good things." ”

"Concubine Liang's words are not right, the eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the emperor, and she is the first child in the palace, and she can afford to pay any precious." Lin Qingluan said lightly.

Concubine Liang choked, and her cheeks flushed a little: "Yes, yes, it's the concubine who wants to be bad." ”

"Now that there are few children in the palace, the eldest princess, as the emperor's bloodline, is naturally noble, it is you and me, and it is just a concubine in an ordinary family, and it is not as good as a little master." Lin Qingluan made a joke, and the good concubine almost changed her face.

She waved her hand again: "Okay, what else?" ”

Concubine Liang's lips twitched, and after a while, she said worriedly: "Concubine...... Concubine ......"

Lin Qingluan has always acted vigorously and resolutely, very neatly, and the most disliked thing is such a slimy person, and he was a little unhappy at the moment, but looking at the little face of the eldest princess holding a piece of butterfly cake and eating, he showed a little patience: "How are you doing?" ”

"Your mother, my mother wants to borrow some silver." The eldest princess suddenly spoke, and her childish voice was crisp, but it made Concubine Liang's face red in an instant, and the twisted handkerchief was almost torn by her.

Lin Qingluan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Borrow silver?" ”

"Concubine ......" Concubine Liang really has no choice, usually she can find the queen, but now that the queen has just given birth, and the emperor accompanies her every day, she doesn't dare to go.

After thinking about it, the whole palace knew that the concubine was rich and wealthy, so the good concubine could only ask for Wan'an Palace.

It's just that at this moment, Concubine Liang still didn't dare to speak, but Lin Qingluan instantly figured out that Zhai Hanjing had not yet given birth at this time in the previous life, and she thought that Concubine Liang had asked for the queen.

She first glanced at the eldest princess, and then looked at Concubine Liang: "But there is something wrong with my mother's family?" ”

"Niangniang, Niangniang guessed so accurately! It's the concubine's unsuccessful younger brother...... Concubine Liang stammered after finishing the ugly things in the family, and looked at Lin Qingluan with some embarrassment, "Niangniang......"

"Gambling can't be changed for a while, your brother can owe a thousand taels of silver, and he can owe more in the future, how much more can you borrow for him?" Lin Qingluan was helpless, Concubine Liang's father was also a Sanpin Beijing official in the past, but he suddenly died of illness, and now it seems that there is no male in the family who can support it.

Now that she is sucking the blood of the good concubine, when the eldest princess grows up, isn't she going to hold on to the eldest princess?

She tapped her fingers on the tabletop, and after a while, she asked Concubine Liang, who seemed to be a little unconvinced: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, there is a way in this palace, and Concubine Liang is reluctant to do so." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Concubine Liang left Wan'an Palace with a silver ticket, Lin Qingluan gave the plate of snacks to the eldest princess, and the child's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, holding the plate to thank her.

"Concubine Liang really doesn't know what to do, the master is willing to use our family connections to help her brother find a position in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, she is unwilling, it's really ......" An Lan whispered for Lin Qingluan, and Lin Qingluan only shook his head.

He was not afraid of being beaten and intimidated by gambling and breaking his legs, but he was worried that his younger brother would not be able to stand it when he was drilled into the barracks, and Lin Qingluan didn't know what this good concubine thought.

Moreover, the concubine of the first palace is thrifty in food and clothing, and even the princess's share has to be deducted and sent out of the palace to her younger brother who is not successful, once this matter is known by Shangguan Yan, I am afraid that the good life of the concubine will come to an end.

Lin Qingluan shook her head slightly, she didn't have any other emotions except feeling sorry for Shangguan Yanglan, everyone had their own way to go, and she couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.

It's just that Concubine Liang will come again in the future, and Lin Qingluan will not see her again.

In the afternoon, Lin Qingluan went to see the Queen Mother, and selected some good fox skins given to her by Shangguan Yan during the spring hunt to give to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was very happy, took Lin Qingluan's hand and praised non-stop, and finally said: "Don't worry, the mourning family knows that those charms have nothing to do with you." Your heart for the emperor, the mourning family and the emperor have never doubted. ”

Lin Qingluan only lowered his eyes and was shy, but he only sneered in his heart.

Her heart for Shangguan Yan is, of course, sincere.

Suddenly, Lin Qingluan remembered her previous life, remembered Shangguan Yan's domineering and gentleness when she asked to marry, and remembered his warm protection and careful care during her filial piety for three years.

I have to say that I really can't blame her for being deceived, if she is replaced by any woman, she will be treated like this by a high-ranking prince, and she will lose her heart.

"If the concubine has been free recently, why don't you accompany the mourning family to Xinmen Mountain to worship the Buddha?" The Queen Mother said with a smile, "In three days it will be the auspicious day of the Buddha's birthday, and the mourning family wants to go out for a walk, do you want to be together?" ”

"Great, the concubine obeys the order," Lin Qingluan raised a smiling face, "I'm not afraid of the Queen Mother's jokes, the concubine heard that Xinmen Mountain is asking for a son, and the concubine has long wanted to go to worship." ”
