In April, beside the Taiye Pool, pink, purple red, and red are layered on top of each other, the flowers are in full bloom, and the surface of the pool reflects the red light, and the waves are calm.

However, Lan Yin stood on the edge of the liquid pool, but there was an illusion, the red at the bottom of the pool was almost like breaking through the calm pool surface and jumping up.

A trip to the Immortal Palace made her understand that this was not a simple theft, but a competition of a group of people around the highest power in the empire. The only way to stop it is to find the real pearl before the deadline.

"Yang Siji?"

Lan Yin turned around, and a man stood behind her at some point.

Lan Yin was vigilant, she had very good ears, and she was not short of vigilance, but this person could come to her unnoticed?

Seeing that this person is wearing a Taoist robe, and the saint believes in Taoism, I think this person should be a Taoist priest, right?

"May I ask who the alchemist is?"

"I'm Zhao Guizhen."

Zhao Guizhen? He is the saint's most trusted Zhao Guizhen Taoist? Lan Yin always thought that Zhao Guizhen was an old man, but where could he have thought that he was a rather handsome young man, or a successful cultivator?

"Master Zhao Lian is fortunate to meet, fortunately."

Lan Yin made a gesture and wanted to escape, she didn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Guizhen.

"I've always wondered what kind of lady Yang Siji is?"

Unexpectedly, Lan Yin hadn't moved her body yet, but the other party's words surprised her again.

"You know me?" How could she make the number one celebrity around the saint notice?

"Yes, I want to know what is different about you, which made Cui Yuanzao shake his Dao heart." Zhao Guizhen's eyes were sharp, like a blade cutting on Lan Yin's body.

It turns out that this person knows Cui Yuanzao, maybe he knows the marriage contract between her and Cui Yuanzao, so he has the question now?

"Master Zhao Lian, I am no different from other women, I just have a marriage contract with Cui Yuanzao, if he is not strong in Dao heart because of this, it can only mean that he has no Dao heart in the first place."

Lan Yin didn't like Zhao Guizhen's eyes when she looked at her, why should a man's unintentional motivation be attributed to a woman?

Lan Yin looked at Zhao Guizhen without showing weakness, Zhao Guizhen's eyelids jumped, this woman is indeed a little different.

"Yang Siji is fine, Cui Shanggong asked me to take you to the Shanggong Bureau."

Just when the two of them were not showing weakness to each other and the atmosphere was stagnant, a palace maid suddenly approached and saluted Lan Yin.

"Got it." Lan Yin replied.

When Lan Yin looked at Zhao Guizhen again, he had already turned around and left, his robe was flying, and his back was very depressed in the flowers, which made Lan Yin can't help but think of Cui Yuanzao, and sometimes he gives people the feeling that this is the case.

Is this called legacy and independence?

"Yang Siji, go this way." The palace maid's voice woke Lan Yin.

"What is Cui Shanggong looking for me?"

The palace maid smiled, "Cui Shanggong didn't look for you, it was because I saw Zhao Lianshi confronting you, and I was afraid that you would suffer, so I stepped forward to say this." ”

Lan Yin glanced at the palace maid and said, "What's your name?" ”

"The slave's surname is Wu, and she is the pawn of the Shang Palace Bureau." The palace maid lowered her head and said.

Dianji, Zhengqipin, Siji's deputy, this Wu Dianji is also a good person, she hasn't taken office yet, so she came to sell her a favor, Lan Yin is a little excited, she misses the world outside the palace so much.

"Wu Dianji, you lead the way, let's go to the Shanggong Bureau." Lan Yin didn't want to get too involved in the palace life, and she didn't really come to socialize with people and wanted to climb to a high position.

Wu Dianji looked at Lan Yin's expression, and he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he could only say attentively: "Yang Siji, please here, the Shanggong Bureau has arranged a place for you to live, in the persimmon forest courtyard in the west of the backyard, now that the weather is getting hotter, do you want to go to rest and change clothes first?" ”

Lan Yin thought about it, and after half a day, she was indeed thirsty and tired, so she said gently: "There is a memory of Lao Wudian." ”

In the shade of flowers, I walked for another half an hour, and finally arrived at the persimmon forest courtyard.

Stepping through the moon cave gate, a towering persimmon tree came into view, which stood abruptly in the middle of the courtyard, with nothing else beside it.

"Yang Siji, don't think that this place is simple, this place has a meaning."

"Oh?"

"Does Yang Siji know about the three sisters of the Song family?"

Lan Yin had heard of it, but it was not clear what it was, only that the three Song sisters were the best among the female officials.

"Since Shangguan Zhaorong, among our female officials, the three sisters of the Song family are the most successful, and the fourth sister of the Song family has been named Mrs. Liangguo. They used to live in this persimmon forest. Persimmon forest homonym 'Shilin', also means that the people who live here, brilliant writing, presumably Yang Siji was specially recruited by the Empress Dowager, and will definitely be able to soar. Wu Dianji's face couldn't help but show a look of yearning.

Lan Yin didn't want to hear this, and only asked, "Where do I live?" ”

Wu Dianji suddenly let out a sigh of relief and led the way forward: "This way, the West Cross Courtyard." ”

Lan Yin was really impatient to play some useless tricks with Wu Dianji again, and when she entered the door of the West Cross Courtyard, she said, "I'm tired, I want to rest, Wu Dianji will go and get busy." ”

Wu Dianji was stunned for a while, his smiling face tended to be chapped, and finally he stopped it, lowered his head, and retreated.

Lan Yin finally didn't have to hold it anymore, let out a sigh of relief, paced into the door, and collapsed on the bed at once.

In just half a day, she has seen all kinds of people in the palace, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, as if there are mysteries everywhere, and she is so tired!

Did she really doubt that she would be able to get out of it all right? Don't lose your wife and lose your soldiers in the end.

"Knock knock—"

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

Again?

Lan Yin covered her head with a pillow in pain, she wanted to pretend to be dead, and finally reason overcame willfulness, Lan Yin got up from the bed, tidied up her clothes, helped her head with black gauze, straightened her expression, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

The person who came was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old palace maid, carrying a basin of washing water, and saluted Lan Yin in a dignified manner.

"You are?"

"My name is Ling'er, and I am the palace maid who serves you."

Lan Yin didn't expect that she actually had palace maids to serve, which was really not good news for her, and she would have to get rid of this little tail first when she acted in the future, which was a little annoying.

"Aunt Lan Yin."

"What do you call me?" Lan Yin was shocked.

"Aunt Lan Yin, oh, didn't Lang Jun tell you about me?" Ling'er smiled and put down the washing water, twisted a face towel for Lan Yin, and handed it over.

Except for Cui Yuanzao in Chang'an City, no one knows her real name anymore, it seems that the Langjun in Ling'er's mouth should be Cui Yuanzao.

"He sent you? How? ”

"Auntie doesn't have to worry about this, it's just a little more means. All you need to know is that I'm my own. Ling'er said with a grin.

Lan Yin felt that she was afraid that she was not being looked down upon by this child, and her feeling was really right.

"Lang Jun asked me to take care of my aunt, then I have to talk about my aunt, just now my aunt shouldn't treat Wu Dianji like that."

"I annoy her." Lan Yin said helplessly.

"Do you know that before you were specially called as the secretary, Wu Dianji was very hopeful to be promoted to the secretary, and now you still give her no face, look at it, she will stumble on you sooner or later."

"I'm afraid of her?" Lan Yin was only convinced that one force would drop ten.

"I'm afraid she'll come in the dark." Ling'er frowned and said, "I'll pay more attention anyway." ”

Lan Yin glanced at Ling'er, this kid loves to worry about it, she almost feels that there is another Lingcong next to her.

"By the way, there's something for you."

Ling'er smiled and opened the window, whistled, and suddenly a pigeon flapped its wings and flew over.

"You can use it to deliver a message to Lang Jun." Ling'er took out the bird's food from the small cloth bag and fed it to the pigeons.

"Won't Jin Wuwei knock it down?" Lan Yin said curiously.

Ling'er glanced at her, "There are so many birds flying in Daming Palace, do you have to shoot them down?" ”

Lan Yin felt that she was despised again, she couldn't be pinched by this little lady, Lan Yin shook her spirits and said, "Get some paper and pen, I want to write a letter." ”
