Qingdai nodded and said, "The master said that he had not found it, and you can leave him alone by burying these two dolls in that pot of chrysanthemums." ”

Zhou Man took the two witch dolls in Qing Dai's hands, his face changed, but he didn't say anything.

After Qing Dai left, Zhou Man glanced at Chen An, who was still sleeping, walked lightly to the pot of chrysanthemums, and buried the two witch dolls in it as carefully as possible.

After burying it, Zhou Man turned his head to look at Chen An again, and then picked up the unopened wine on the table and turned around and walked out of Chen An's room.

When Chen An woke up the next day, it was already midday, he rubbed his somewhat stiff and sore neck and got up from the table, looking at the sky outside and startled.

After washing up in a hurry, he changed into clean and tidy clothes and hurried out of the house.

As a result, he came out of the house and happened to meet Zhou Man, who had just come out of the house yawning.

After Zhou Man saw Chen An, he smiled and said: "You just got up, your amount of alcohol is too bad, you didn't finish drinking a jar of wine and collapsed." ”

Chen An was slightly relieved when he saw Zhou Manye's appearance of getting up, he reached out and scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "My amount of alcohol is not good." ”

After finishing speaking, he came to Zhou Man with some worry and asked, "I drank too much last night, and I didn't get up until I slept here, I haven't done the work I should have done, and the master didn't say anything, right?" ”

Zhou Man shook his head and said, "Don't worry, since the master let us go to Le Ho last night, he definitely won't blame us." ”

"That's good, that's good." After Chen An finished speaking, he smiled at Zhou Man and said, "Then I'll go to work first." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Man nodded and said, "It's time for me to go to work too." ”

After that, the two separated as if nothing had happened, and went their own way.

Lu Yuning had already finished saying goodbye to the queen mother at this time, and went to meet the queen mother with the queen and the concubines in the harem.

After staying in Cheng'an Palace for more than half an hour, the Queen Mother waved them away.

When Lu Yuning came out of Cheng'an Palace, the concubine had not yet left, and was standing in front of the Lin family and the Chang family to speak.

Lu Yuning glanced at her and wanted to turn around and leave, but the Lin clan had already seen her and shouted to her: "Yuning! ”

Lu Yuning had no choice but to stop and walk over.

In fact, after the Lin family called out Lu Yuning's name, they realized that it was inappropriate, no matter how Lu Yuning's identity is now, it doesn't matter what she calls in private, but now that so many people are here, it is easy for people to say that she has committed a crime.

But the call has already been called, and it is too late to regret it at this time, it is also because she didn't take Lu Yuning too seriously, so she forgot Lu Yuning's identity for a while, she never called the concubine back then.

Lin thought that Lu Yuning had already walked in front of her, and Lin hurriedly made a salute posture, "Courtier......"

Lu Yuning did not disappoint the Lin family, reached out and touched the Lin family and the Chang family, who were also about to salute, and said: "It's all my own family, grandmothers and aunts don't need to be polite." ”

"Thank you, Jieyu." Lin stood up straight, and asked Lu Yuning with a loving face: "Is everything okay with Jieyu in the palace?" ”

Lu Yuning also smiled and made a mistake with the Lin family.

"Grandmother, rest assured, Wan Ning is taken care of by the concubine in the palace, everything is fine."

When the concubine on the side heard Lu Yuning's words, the expression in her eyes moved slightly, and then she calmed down again.

Chang Shi said with a smile on the side: "Jieyu is fine in the palace, and when we go back, we will tell her to tell her, and she can rest assured." ”

Lu Yuning heard Chang's mention of the Tao family at home, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and before he was discovered, Lu Yuning's eyes had a smile again.

"I don't know if my mother is at home? My mother is weak, and she has to trouble my aunt and grandmother to take care of them more on weekdays. ”

Lin nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will take care of your mother and Simo." ”

Lu Yuning said with a smile: "With grandmother and aunt taking care of them, Yuning is naturally relieved." ”

When the Lin family heard this, they wanted to say something, but the eunuchs in the Shou'an Palace had already asked everyone to prepare to meet the Queen Mother, so the Lin family had to stop talking in a hurry.

"Grandmother and mother hurry up to meet the Queen Mother, Lu Jieyu and I will leave first." After the concubine said something to the two, she turned around and left.

Lu Yuning nodded towards the Lin family and the Chang family, and then left behind the concubine.

"Lu Jieyu, do you want to go to my Zhaoyang Palace to sit down?" After walking for a while, the concubine said to Lu Yuning: "Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it just so happens that our sisters are also sitting together and talking. ”

Lu Yuning smiled and said, "The concubine is invited, how dare Yuning refuse." ”

After Lu Yuning followed the concubine to Zhaoyang Palace, after the concubine let people serve tea and snacks, she kept pulling Lu Yuning to pull around.

"Time flies so fast, it feels like yesterday you were a little child, and today you have reached the best age for a woman."

"Seventeen or eighteen years old is the best age in a woman's life, and the woman at this time is also the most beautiful, you have to cherish the present days." The concubine meant something.

Lu Yuning smiled and said: "What Niang Niang said is that women have a good time in those years, once they reach their thirties, even if they are well maintained, they will add traces of time to their faces, and it will be difficult to be favored again." ”

When the concubine, who was twenty-seven years old this year, heard Lu Yuning's words, her face was not tight, and she almost distorted.

Lu Yuning looked at the concubine's expression, revealing a bewildered expression, and wanted to cover up and said, "Concubine...... The concubine said the wrong thing, the concubine Niangniang is naturally different from us, even if the concubine Niangniang is in her thirties, she is still beautiful and favored. ”

The concubine has hardly slept for more than a year, but Lu Yuning said the word "holy grace continues" at this time, which somewhat pierced the concubine's heart.

The concubine looked at Lu Yuning's eyes and couldn't help but turn cold.

But soon, the concubine smiled again and said, "Then I will borrow my sister's auspicious words, I hope that I can really continue to be favored in the future." ”

As soon as the concubine's words fell, Baoqing walked in from outside and said to the concubine: "Concubine Niangniang, Zhou Man's little father-in-law in Lu Jieyu's palace asked to see Lu Jieyu, saying that there was an urgent matter to report to Lu Jieyu. ”

The concubine smiled happily when she heard this, and said, "Since you have something urgent to see, then let him in." ”

"Yes."

After Zhou Man came in, he first hurriedly saluted the concubine, and then reported to Lu Yuningyu: "Master, it's not good, the eldest princess's newly raised puppy doesn't know what's going on, and ran to our Linglong Pavilion, and also dug out the witch doll from our Linglong Pavilion." ”
