Unexpectedly, Ping'er playfully stuck out her tongue, and whispered to Lin Shuran with some embarrassment: "The slave maid has eaten it secretly before!" ”

"Stealing? Where to steal food? Lin Shuran still wondered if the food given to Xu Junze by the palace was stolen by the little girl.

Ping'er seemed to be suddenly afraid of being mentioned about the past, and said in a hesitant manner: "The slave and maid are stealing food in the imperial dining room!" ”

Imperial Dining Room? Isn't that palace? Ping'er, a maid who is not even a rank, actually entered the palace? What the hell is going on?

Seeing the doubts in Lin Shuran's eyes, Ping'er bit her lower lip, she liked Lin Shuran very much, she felt that she was kind and approachable, and she thought about her as a lowly little girl when she did anything delicious, so what could she not tell her.

So he raised his head slightly and told her that when she was five years old, she was sold into the Qinglou by her father, but she ran out, and later was sold into the palace as a little palace maid, but her life in the palace was very difficult, she was always bullied, and often had no food, and she would sneak into the imperial dining room to steal something to eat when she was extremely hungry.

Once, she was punished by the eunuch on duty for two days not to eat, she was really hungry, and went to the imperial dining room to steal something to eat, but she was found to be almost killed, it was Xu Mingchen and Xu Mingye who happened to be passing by who rescued her, and asked the queen mother for her will, so that she became a slave in her own house.

"Madam, the young masters are all good people, really!" Ping'er is slightly older than Xu Mingchen and Xu Mingye, she is just over thirteen this year, and her appearance is not clear, because of the burning girl, her face is always covered with ash at the bottom of the pot, but her clear apricot eyes are very bright and pleasant.

Lin Shuran saw that she was smiling all day long, a little heartless, but she didn't expect her life experience to be so pitiful, this little girl is really optimistic.

"I know!" Lin Shuran said to Ping'er with a smile while flipping the small twist flowers in the oil pot with long chopsticks.

"Madam, young masters don't really like to get into trouble, every time someone else bullies them first, they have no way to fight back, you don't know, the people outside speak very ugly, they-" Ping'er looked indignant.

"Ping'er, you little girl is still beating lightly, what are you talking nonsense, concentrate on lighting the fire for Mrs.!" The fat aunt in the back kitchen glared at Ping'er and interrupted her next words, and her little eyes frequently gave Ping'er a look, telling her not to talk too much.

Ping'er hurriedly closed her mouth, she just remembered to eat or not, and lowered her head in annoyance and continued to burn the fire, didn't she just learn to keep her mouth shut in the past few years in the palace, so she suffered so many crimes, it was really an old problem again.

Lin Shuran smiled indifferently, in fact, even if Ping'er didn't say it, she could guess what people outside were talking about the stepsons of the Xu family, after all, this is a capital city that pays attention to family background and family background, not to mention Xu Mingchen, these orphans from different backgrounds, even if they are powerful emperors like Xu Junze, they will also be looked down upon and excluded by those families because of their family background.

Perhaps the emperor originally wanted to marry Xu Junze, not only because his father was the prince of the dynasty, but also because the Lin family clan has lasted for thousands of years and has a pivotal position in the Jin Dynasty, which also shows that the emperor is still very concerned about Xu Junze.

Lin Shuran asked Xu Mingchen to send the little twist to them, and he returned to the inner courtyard with a plate, and the maid in the courtyard told her that Xu Junze had left.

Early the next morning, Chunxi combed Lin Shuran with a popular women's bun, because if she wanted to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, neither her clothes nor jewelry should be too shabby, and she must be solemn and decent.

Lin Shuran is from a famous family, the clothes and jewelry for the marriage are specially prepared for her by the Wen family, all of them are of the highest quality, today she entered the palace and wore a gold silk brocade dress, a thick cloak with red plums on a white background, a golden step on her head, beads and flowers of mutton fat jade, earrings, and a delicate makeup, it seems that she is more and more beautiful, bright and gorgeous, like a fairy in the nine heavens.

Xu Junze happened to step into the room, and when she saw Lin Shuran's outfit today, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and she was dignified, elegant, beautiful and lovely after being carefully dressed, and the whole person seemed to exude dazzling light.

Lin Shuran was also stunned when he saw Xu Junze, he changed into a dark blue gold silk dark pattern collared brocade robe today, with a golden crown and tied hair, looking full of spirit and majestic appearance.

"Let's go!"

The two of them walked side by side, stunned by the subordinates of the house, and also caused the Xu brothers who came to send them out with wide eyes, they never seemed to realize that they had a pair of parents with such excellent appearance and temperament.

The carriage carried the two to the direction of the palace gate, and entered the palace, and the two needed to walk to the Queen Mother's Renshou Palace, where the palace eunuch would lead the way.

On the way to the Empress Dowager's Renshou Palace, Xu Junze and Lin Shuran did not speak, but Xu Junze deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with her.

It's just that the two of them met Xiao Chen and his wife Su Wanwan on the way, and today they came to ask for peace for Su Wanwan's aunt Su Taifei.

Su Wanwan obviously didn't expect to meet Lin Shuran in the palace, she saw that today's Lin Shuran was deliberately dressed like a spring flower, and her heart was already full of jealousy, and she saw that since Lin Shuran appeared, Xiao Chen's eyes had never left her, with an affectionate and irrepressible look, and her palms were almost bloody.

"General Xu!"

"Xiao Shilang!"

As officials in the same dynasty, even if they didn't like each other very much in their hearts, Xu Junze and Xiao Chen still greeted each other when they met, and Lin Shuran followed with a slight salute, but Su Wanwan didn't even want to do face kung fu, and glared at Lin Shuran with an unhappy expression.

Xu Junze saw that Su Wanwan's hostility towards Lin Shuran was obvious, her face turned cold, and her eyes narrowed slightly, Concubine Su has always been gentle and kind, but her niece doesn't look very good.

Xiao Chen naturally also noticed Su Wanwan's attitude towards Lin Shuran, he glanced back at her, with coldness and warning, which made Su Wanwan feel aggrieved in her heart, seeing that she was ruthless and indifferent, but seeing other people's wives was gentle and affectionate, today she completely understood how much Xiao Chen cared about Lin Shuran in her heart.

"Husband, let's hurry up, today is my birthday, you promise to accompany me for a day!" Su Wanwan deliberately approached Xiao Chen affectionately, looked at her provocatively with a victorious attitude and said with a smile, "Presumably, General Xu and Mrs. Xu are here to greet the Queen Mother, so we won't delay you, so as not to make the Queen Mother angry!" ”

After speaking, Su Wanwan also grabbed Xiao Chen's arm, but she didn't want to be thrown away by Xiao Chen in the next second, which made her face look ugly, but she quickly kept smiling and said deliberately: "Husband, we are all married, what are you still shy!" ”
