Chapter 379: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (24)
The emperor had been invited over by Concubine Li earlier on the grounds that he was not feeling well. Inviting someone over now was no different from kidnapping someone.

Luo Mei clearly understood that if she told this matter, the palace maids would be in trouble. After all, when the master was in a bad mood, how could the servants have an easy time?
Anyway, among all the concubines outside the palace, only the Shufei has the highest rank, and the emperor will give her some face no matter what.

The maid was not stupid, but she had been turned away by Lipin several times before, so she was a little confused for a while. But everyone was smart, and they could figure it out after a while.

Lin Yan was not there to serve. She and her roommates squeezed into a small room. Since there was nothing to do, she started embroidering.

Life in ancient times was really boring, and there was no entertainment before going to bed. There were also few things for women to do, so embroidery became one of their activities to pass the time.

The most important thing is, what can a palace maid do?

Lin Yan's embroidery skills don't seem to be very good, but in fact, it's the original owner's embroidery skills that are not good. Maybe she didn't get the knack, so even after many years of learning, the needlework is still crooked.

Seeing this, the roommate couldn't help but laugh, "I've never seen anyone do embroidery like this, Vanilla, yours is too ugly."

It's neither good-looking nor ordinary, it's just ugly. The stitches are crooked, and the duck that was originally in good condition looks like it was electrocuted.

"Good sister, please don't laugh at me. I'm also trying hard to learn. It's just that this thing is really too difficult." Lin Yan looked at her roommate in frustration, pouting, looking very aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, I won't laugh at you anymore. No wonder the queen doesn't want your sachet. If it were me, I wouldn't want it either."

"Sister, what you said is really hurtful. If I hear it again, I will be angry."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I never think before I speak. Can you please forgive me?"

The two of them joked around for a while, and the sky gradually darkened.

Although candles can also illuminate, the light is really not high. In this case, embroidering is really a waste of your eyes. So at this time, basically everyone will choose to go to bed.

You have to get the water for washing feet yourself. There is hot water in the kitchen, but it must be served to the master first. The rest is theirs.

Fortunately, this is a small palace, otherwise it would not be able to supply so much hot water.

After washing up, I lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

Lin Yan opened her clear eyes and looked at the ceiling with some boredom, thinking about the next plan in her mind. In fact, she didn't have a plan, because she didn't know how to take the first step.

But if we really have to talk about a plan, it's just that we'll take it one step at a time and do everything according to the circumstances.

Maybe because she was tired after a long day, she felt sleepy before she even thought about anything. Not long after she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, the team still had to hurry on.

As a slave, you have to be ready before your master wakes up and be able to respond at any time if your master needs anything.

Lin Yan yawned and took some hot water to wash up. At this time, she could only be thankful that she was not a personal maid, otherwise she should be waiting for her master to get up at this time, right?

The team won’t set off so soon, so you can still visit the palace during this period of time.

She was quite brave, so after saying hello to her roommates, she went out directly.

It takes at least an hour for the ladies in each palace to dress up and make up, so it is not a bad idea to use this time to tour the palace.

It was obvious that there were guards all around. They had serious faces, stern images, and tall statures. They looked like they were not easy to mess with, and they also gave people a sense of security. Now Lin Yan was wearing the clothes of a senior palace maid, and they also knew that she was from the Xianyang Palace, so when these people saw her, they did not stop her.

The palace must have been tidied by someone, as every corner was clean. The flowers that should have bloomed in this season were in full bloom, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The osmanthus flowers have bloomed before, and now they are late season flowers. Although beautiful, the fragrance is much less and not as strong.

Lin Yan touched her body and took out the sachet she had just made last night. Then she stood under the osmanthus tree and began to pick flowers openly.

Osmanthus flowers are small in size and take time to pick, but their fragrance is really pleasant. They can smell good for a while when worn on the body and can also refresh you.

Someone passed by and saw it, but didn't say anything. After all, the flower would fall sooner or later. Besides, it wasn't a flower from the imperial garden, nor was it a precious variety.

She was picking flowers peacefully, not realizing that a team was walking towards her from behind.

"Master Ye, there was nothing unusual last night, and everything is under control. The soldiers took turns guarding the post, and now they have replenished their spirits and can set off at any time."

The man in the lead, wearing a black robe, had a cold face, one hand in front and the other behind, and walked forward without looking away.

Although he was a eunuch, the emperor knew his ability, so the task of checking the safety of the surroundings also fell on his head.

Hearing the words of the commander of the Royal Guards, he did not react much, but just said coldly, "Stay alert and do not let your guard down."

The commander of the Royal Guards nodded in agreement, not daring to say a word of rebuttal. But his lowered head betrayed his emotions.

He was just a eunuch, but he acted arrogantly in front of him. It was really... hateful. He was a commander after all, why did he act like a servant around this eunuch?
There were footsteps behind her. Lin Yan initially thought it was the guards passing by, but after listening to the sound, it seemed a little strange. It happened that her sachet was also filled with a lot of osmanthus flowers, so she didn't need to fill it any more, so she planned to leave.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a tall figure walking towards me.

This is an aisle, and her standing here is like blocking the road.

So she quickly stepped aside and saluted the visitor.

"Greetings, Lord Ye." When you are out, you must not lose your manners.

But after she finished speaking, she just waited aside, with her head down, not looking up to peek.

Ye Xiao didn't care about the existence of a palace maid. The way she lowered her head, she must have tried her best to reduce her presence. From this point of view, it was just a coincidence.

I hope it’s not some conspiracy. Even if it is, he can solve it.

I originally wanted to just pass by and leave, but out of the corner of my eye, I felt that her face looked a little familiar.

He glanced at her as he walked, as if he just glanced at her lightly and then quickly looked away.

At one glance, he remembered who it was.

A talented palace maid who used to work in the Imperial Hospital.

But what does this have to do with him?
