The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 206 Provocation ([-])

At the end of the month, on this day Wanyu ordered Linlan to go to Chuxiu Palace for a walk.

It's all because noble Luo Jinfeng Xinxi, even if I don't like her temperament, I still want to reward her with some emerald jewels as a token of my heart.

The congratulatory gift was Ruyi inlaid with gold and ruby ​​with excellent jade color. Lin Lan held it in her hands with a little bit of reluctance and said, "Madam, this Ruyi is extremely precious. Wouldn't it be flattering her to give it to Mrs. Luo?"

Wan Lai's slender fingers only caressed about a pot of green lotuses that bloomed side by side, and asked with a smile: "Why, you seem to dislike Mrs. Luo very much."

Lin Lan pouted her lips and said flatly: "Since she entered the palace, the emperor has not often come to see the empress."

Wanyu's movements froze slightly, and she turned her head to look at Lin Lan's red lips slightly parted: "What does it matter if the emperor comes or not? The important thing is that it is enough for me to know where the emperor's heart is."

Lin Lan thought for a moment, most of the gloom on her face dissipated, and she said with frowning eyes: "That's right, although the emperor doesn't come often, but his heart for the empress has never changed, and it is still a small gift for three or two days. Xuan Ying, who became Empress Daxing won the emperor's favor for a while, and the emperor's friendship with the empress is even more precious."

Wannai raised her face at her, and shook her head with a smile: "It's fine to talk about these things in the palace, but you have to control your tongue when you come out of this door, understand?"

"The slaves understand that the empress is cautious and self-restraining, and the slaves have been swayed by it, so naturally they can't make a mistake." Lin Lan waved the brocade box containing Yu Ruyi, bowed and left.

When Lin Lan entered Chuxiu Palace, it was the time when Luo Fu was taking a lunch break.Chun Yao told her to wait outside the hall, and he would tell her when Lord Luo got up.

Standing under the sun, Lin Lan looked around at every plant and tree in Chuxiu Palace. Seeing the luxuriant flowers and plants in the courtyard, the elegance and pleasantness, and the palace full of jewels and jade, she couldn't help sighing secretly that the emperor's favor was the source of wealth for this palace woman.

The servants of the House of Internal Affairs are accustomed to following others, and because noble Luo is constantly honored and favored, her palace's decoration is more decent than that of Wanyi's palace.

Lin Lan waited outside the hall for about two hours, standing upright for a long time made her back sore and exhausted.

At that time, she heard movement in the hall, and she thought that Luo Fu had already got up, but she communicated a few times, and the maids waiting outside the door only said that Luo Fu was still resting, and asked Lin Lan to wait.

Lin Lan knew that Luo Fu was trying to use this excuse to give Wan Yu a bad impression, and she was not angry, but she couldn't bear to implicate Wan Yu, so she stood impatiently and frowned.

Until Luo Fu announced her to enter, Lin Lan had been waiting outside the hall for more than three hours.

The layout of Luofu's hall is spacious and bright, with many pineapple wooden tables and chairs arranged in an orderly manner, and there are many "phoenix head palace lanterns", "glass flower vases", and "phoenix pattern carpets" that do not fit her identity, which are blatantly obvious. set up.

When Lin Lan came, Luo Fu was reclining on the warm seat, and she was being served by three maids of honor, mashing fresh flowers into mince to cover her face.

Most of her face was covered by bright red flowers, leaving only a pair of black and bright almond eyes. When she saw Lin Lan coming in, she glanced at her disdainfully and said, "If you have anything, just put it down."

Lin Lan was displeased when she heard her words, not because she had waited outside the palace for three hours, but because Wannai was above her, so it stands to reason that she should thank her.So she lowered her face, frowned and said: "Master Luo, the concubine Wan concubine has presented you with a pair of ruby ​​ruyis, congratulations on your congratulations on being a noble person, and please thank you for accepting it, so that the maidservant can reply to the concubine. "

Luo Fu leaned on her body, sneered coquettishly, then winked at Chunyao and said, "Thank you for the reward, concubine Wan, my concubine is very happy. Chunyao, don't you hurry up and accept it?"

Chun Yao responded to Lin Lan and took the brocade box from her, but deliberately shook her hand when Lin Lan let go, and the ruby ​​Ruyi inside fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.

Lin Lan was shocked, she stared at Chun Yao in amazement and said angrily, "This is the wish of Concubine Wan, how dare you break it?"

Luo Fu supported his head and let out a 'huh', and said with a sneer: "During the time you were with Concubine Wan, you only learned these skills of framing? I just saw it was true, it was your hoof I couldn't hold back and smashed Ruyi to the ground, how could I have the face to blame others for this?"

Hearing what Luo Fu said, Lin Lan immediately understood what she meant.

Then Chun Yao let go of his hand accidentally, it was clearly done on purpose.

Lin Lan stared at Chun Yao with gloomy eyes, but she saw Chun Yao yelling: "Bold slave, how dare you smash the wishful gifts that the concubine Wan concubine gave to Luo Gui. Go, don’t you want to lose our little master’s blessing?”

As she spoke, before Linlan could tell her apart, she slapped Linlan's face twice.

But Linlan's temperament is not like that of an ordinary slave. She almost slapped Chun Yao back after being slapped in the face at a very fast speed.

Everyone was surprised by this action, and even Luo Fu got up angrily from the warm seat, the flowers floating on his face rustled down: "Baby maid, are you tired of working? Chun Yao is my personal maid, you How dare you hit her in the face?"

Lin Lan looked at Luo Fu with raised eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Luo's personal maid broke the heart of Concubine Wan, and the servant slapped her twice, it was all for the sake of Luo noble. Such a rough servant is serving her What good can there be, if you stay in our Changchun Palace, you will be sent to do hard labor early in the morning, that is to say, the nobleman doesn't think she is rough, but treats her as a treasure!"

Chun Yao was so angry that she raised her hand to continue beating Lin Lan, but her hand was hanging in the office, and she yelled at her: "How dare you! The slave and maid have come to congratulate Mrs. Luo on her new happiness, if you hit her I beat Madam Wanbi." She narrowed her eyes and said with a sneer, "How many lives do you have, how dare you be disrespectful to Madam Wanbi?"

While speaking, Luo Fu got up and walked to her side, grabbed her chin with one hand, moved her face slightly closer to her, breathed the fragrance on Lin Lan's cheeks, raised her eyebrows and said ruthlessly: "Before I entered the palace in the past, Wan The concubine may still be relying on some degree of favor, but she puts on the airs of her concubine in front of others. But now you see in the eyes of the emperor, is there anyone else besides me? How dare you, a lowly maid, use Wan concubine to suppress me , I want to let you see who is in charge of the harem of the Forbidden City now!"

She let go of her hand quickly, and said with a flick of her sleeve: "Come here, push down this lowly servant girl and kneel outside the main hall door, watch her kowtow to Chun Yao and confess her sins, if you don't kowtow a hundred times, she will not be allowed to get up."

After saying that, several court ladies and eunuchs rushed up, pressed Lin Lan and went to kneel outside the hall.

She was captured by a eunuch on the left and right with both hands, and Chunyao kicked her calf forcefully, and she fell to her knees immediately, losing strength.

At that time, Luo Fu had already ordered someone to come out with a chair and sat down in the corridor of the main hall, looking at her with disdain, seeing her struggling continuously, she smiled coldly, and said lightly: "If you keep tweaking, be careful that your dog leg is hurt. People knocked it off."
