"It's been a long time since there has been a sour plum cake in this hall."

When he mentioned this, Lu Cairen was in a bad mood, and Yun Ji was silent, as if after returning from the attic that day, the master had never asked for sour plum cakes again.

Could it be that the emperor doesn't like it?

Yun Xi didn't ignore it, and secretly remembered this in her heart, before shaking her head: "There may not be moon cakes filled with sour plum in the imperial dining room. ”

Lu Cairen's face collapsed for a moment, and after a while, she waved her hand whimsily:

"Forget it, then it's just five kernel stuffing."

Save the imperial dining room and find her difficult to serve.

Yun Xi quickly went to the imperial dining room to get the moon cakes back, Lu Cairen only ate one bite, and the rest was all rewarded to the palace people, Yun Xi was a little puzzled, and later listened to Song Rong's muttering, only to know that the master has always liked sweet and sour, and eating five-kernel stuffing is just to have a good time.

Yun Xi glanced at the pastry in her hand and frowned slightly.

Lu Cairen chose for a long time, and finally decided to wear the lake-green mandarin duck brocade skirt today, adding a little more coquettishness, drawing her eyebrows and lips, and her cheeks were also fainted with powder, which was very bright and moving, she turned around in front of the bronze mirror and led Yun Xi out.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the Taihe Palace, the Taihe Hall did not belong to the harem, they had to go around a long way, and met a team of forbidden soldiers patrolling on the way, led by a tall and tall figure, with a cold face.

Yun Ji's eyes lit up vividly when she saw Lu Cairen:

"Brother!"

Yun Xi followed Lu Cairen's line of sight, and saw that the forbidden army stopped, and the leader had a slightly slower expression on his face, but quickly restrained:

"Wechen has seen a talented master."

Lu Cairen's footsteps suddenly stopped, she was a little dissatisfied with her brother's title, but she also knew that this was the rule, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Is my brother patrolling?" ”

Lu Dongxun saw that his sister looked quite good, so he carefully observed the palace people behind her.

He is a forbidden army, often in and out of the palace, and has some understanding of the harem system, and the position of the talented person is served by six people, two of whom are rough envoys and maidservants, strictly speaking, there are only four people to serve.

There was no song rong with his sister, Lu Dongxun deliberately looked at it more, but the next moment, his hand on the handle of the knife tightened a little.

The palace man glanced at him curiously, and when the four eyes met, she retracted her gaze in a regular manner, under the warm sun, her cheeks seemed to be faint with a light peach pink, and there was green silk hanging on the side of her face, adding a little indescribable demeanor, Lu Dongxun couldn't see her face clearly, and she didn't dare to look closely.

Lu Dongxun quickly retracted his gaze, and when he saw that his sister had no sense of crisis at all, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But there were so many people around him that he couldn't remind him of it.

He still needs to patrol, he can't delay here for a long time, when they separated, Lu Dongxun subconsciously glanced at the palace maid, and his sister was reluctant to stand in place, the palace maid seemed to notice his gaze, and gently obeyed, and the beauty lowered her face.

Lu Dongxun's eyes flashed suddenly, and he pursed his lips and looked back.

In the same place, Lu Cairen still refused to leave, and Yun Ji was a little helpless:

"Lord Lu is a forbidden army, and he often patrols the palace, and the master will also see Lord Lu."

Lu Cairen pursed his lips, and his eyes were a little red:

"Really?"

Whether it's true or not, Yun Ji can only nod at this time.

Lu Cairen sniffed, and finally was reluctant to move his steps, and muttered softly to Yun Ji: "My brother has loved me since I was a child, and often brings me some gadgets in the city, including hair ropes, and sugar people, but I have left them in the house." ”

In the end, Lu Cairen's mood was inevitably low.

When she entered the palace, she could only bring a baggage, and she couldn't bring a lot of things at all, only a box of packing and simple clothes, as well as a silver ticket given by her mother.

As for the rest, no matter how reluctant she is, she can only stay at home.

Yun Ji lowered her eyes lightly, listening to Lu Cairen's words, but she couldn't empathize at all.

I have the impression that no one has ever given her these things.

In recent years, the only gift she has received is a year's worth of silver that Xiao Rongzi has worked so hard to save.

The master and servant were talking, and suddenly, Lu Cairen was knocked and stumbled, Yun Xi was startled, and subconsciously reached out to help her, but he rolled to the ground with Lu Cairen and planted among the flowers, both of them rolled up in the fallen leaves and soil.

Yun Ji's waist was hit by a tree stump, but she still remembered protecting Lu Cairen, and was hit the chest by Lu Cairen, she gasped in pain, and her tears almost fell directly.

But she was used to being able to endure it, she didn't even look at herself, bit her lip and got up, and carefully checked Lu Cairen's injuries:

"How's the master?"

The hosta on the top of Lu Cairen's head was knocked off, she was well protected and was not injured, but her anger did not decrease at all, she raised her head, and saw Yang Jieyu who was being held high by the honor guard, and the new hatred and old hatred were added together, making her eyes spark.

Yun Ji was afraid that she would be impulsive, so she grabbed her tightly, endured the pain, and shouted in a low voice:

"Master, calm down."

Yang Jieyu was condescending and casually admired this scene: "Yo, this is not Lu Cairen, how to walk is not careful." ”

The string in Lu Cairen's mind was directly broken:

"Whether it was the concubine who was careless, or whether Yang Jieyu did it on purpose, Yang Jieyu knew it in her heart!"

Yang Jieyu narrowed her eyes a little:

"Lu Cairen is accusing me?"

Lu Cairen was embarrassed, and when she saw the people watching the play around her, she still had a little sense, knowing that she and Yang Jieyu were just hitting a stone with an egg, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Today's incident, the concubine will ask the queen to do justice for the concubine!"

Yang Jieyu snorted coldly and said lightly: "It's a pity, the queen is busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I'm afraid I don't have time to pay attention to you." ”

"Before that, Lu Cairen knelt here for three hours."

Lu Cairen's whole person froze, and in three hours, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet ended directly.

She suddenly looked up:

"Why?!"

Yang Jieyu seemed to have heard a joke, covered her lips and smiled for a long time, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said lightly: "Because my position is higher than you, because you are disrespectful." ”

That day, she went to the palace to deliver food, and Yidian went in, but she was turned away, and Rong Zhaoyi laughed at her for a long time about it.

Yang Jieyu didn't dare to confront Rong Zhaoyi, but in her heart, she remembered this matter on Lu Cairen's head.

Yun Ji held Lu Cairen's hand tightly, Lu Cairen was finally pulled back to a little reason, she gritted her teeth desperately, so she didn't let herself refute Yang Jieyu again, she was crushed to death by a high grade, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only swallow it all, Lu Cairen had tears in her eyes, and knelt in humiliation a little bit of humiliation.

Yun Ji also knelt down with her.

Waiting for Yang Jieyu's guard of honor to leave, Lu Cairen finally couldn't help crying.

Yun Ji was in pain all over, her shoulders trembled slightly, she supported her body against the ground with one hand, and gently stroked Lu Cairen's back with the other hand, she hid the emotions in her eyes, and her voice was soft:

"Master, the coming day is long."

Chapter 16 "Yun Xi, I don't want to be just a talented person anymore."

In the Taihe Palace, the concubines gradually arrived, the positions of the courtiers and concubines were distinct, even if there were one or two people missing, no one noticed, the palace was still staggered, Yaling glanced at the hall and whispered:

"Master, in case the mother blames ...... later"

Yang Jieyu exhaled and snorted softly, she sarcastically unexplained: "She also deserves it." ”

Every move at the palace banquet represents the face of the royal family, even if the queen mother handed over the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to Concubine De, but if something goes wrong at the palace banquet, the queen still has no face, especially their queen mother is used to being smart, and she will not mess up the palace banquet because of a small talent.

As for after the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Lu Cairen wants the queen to reprimand herself because of her, I'm afraid that her current identity is not enough.

It is precisely because of her understanding of the queen's life that Yang Jieyu dared to punish Lu Cairen before the palace banquet.

Knowing that her master had a plan, Yaling was immediately silenced.

August day, until the evening, the sun will fade, Yun Xi has been protected by Gonggong Liu in the palace after entering the palace, to be honest, she has not experienced the situation of being punished to kneel, she has been kneeling for a long time, her knees from pain to gradual numbness, the pain of being hit in the chest has long been relieved, but the injury on the back is still in pain.

She didn't have the strength to help Lu Cairen anymore, so she drooped her head and gritted her teeth so that she wouldn't collapse on the ground.

Lu Cairen also stopped crying, lowered his head, and was a little quiet and quiet, not knowing what he was thinking.

If it was left on weekdays, Yun Xi would still guess a few times in her heart, but now she has no energy to take care of it.

Tan Yuanchu went to Kunning Palace to pick up the queen, and then went to Taihe Hall together, he knew what the queen needed, and on this occasion, Tan Yuanchu was never stingy with making face for the queen.

The route from Kunning Palace to the Taihe Hall and the place where Lu Cairen's master and servant were punished are not the same road at all, the two are almost missing the palace gate, for a long time, before arriving at the Taihe Palace, there are small palace people who hurriedly ran all the way, but they did not dare to stop the holy car, and after the emperor entered the Taihe Palace, he dared to step forward and whisper a few words to Xu Shunfu.

Xu Shun Fudeng's face changed, and he turned around and followed the hall quickly.

Tan Yuanchu sat down, and when Xu Shunfu stood behind him, he glanced at him and asked with interest:

"What's going on?"

The minions below will not be so blind, knowing that the palace banquet is about to start, they still stop Xu Shunfu in front of the Taihe Hall to report the matter, unless something happens.

Xu Shunfu laughed, and just about to speak, Yang Jieyu over there had already raised her glass to look at Tan Yuanchu, her eyes were shining:

"The concubine salutes the emperor with a cup."

Tan Yuan Chu bowed his head and raised his glass lightly.

Xu Shunfu's words were swallowed by him again, he glanced at Yang Jieyu, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.

Those who are slaves must also have trade-offs, and the emperor's mind is Xu Shunfu's standard of weighing.

The emperor is indeed interested in Miss Yun Ji, but his favor for Yang Jieyu in the past is also clear, a palace person with only a few signs, and a concubine who has been favored for a long time, it seems that it is not a very difficult choice.

He didn't speak for a long time, and Tan Yuanchu didn't urge him, if it was an urgent matter, Xu Shunfu didn't dare to delay.

Halfway through the banquet, the servants changed wave after wave, and the moon cakes were finally delivered, saying that the moon cakes were very similar to pastries, Tan Yuan Chu couldn't help but think of a certain scene again, his eyes were imperceptibly a little darker, and he couldn't help but think of another protagonist.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and she should accompany Lu Cairen to the banquet.

Tan Yuanchu looked in a certain direction without a trace, but he didn't see anyone, he frowned and looked over again.

This time, he could see clearly that the position of the concubine, not only did the woman not come, but Lu Cairen was also nowhere to be seen, and there was a position directly empty.

There are a lot of people at the Mid-Autumn Festival, often two people sit at the same table, even if Lu Cairen does not come, there is another master on the table, and it is impossible to withdraw, so there is such an abrupt scene.

Tan Yuan Chu realized something, he looked at Xu Shunfu, and his tone was cold:

"What about people."

Xu Shunfu was full of excitement, he originally planned to report it after the banquet, but he didn't expect that there were so many people in the Taihe Palace, and the emperor actually paid attention to the two masters and servants of Lu Cairen.
