The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 309

This obeisance fully fulfilled the friendship between master and servant, as well as Linlan's guilt towards Wanyu.

Wan Yu quickly walked to her side, leaned over and helped her up: "Now you are all serious young masters, why do you still call yourself a slave?"

Lin Lan bit her lips in tears, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Serving your maiden for one day, you will be your master and servant for the rest of your life. Even if the emperor has registered a servant as a promise today, this servant will never forget how well your lady treated her slaves in the past."

Wanyu wept with joy, and wiped away her tears for Linlan: "Don't stand here and talk, Yunchan and Shuangruo heard the news early in the morning, and happily cleaned up the side hall for you for half a day, just go and see, see Is it to your liking?"

Lin Lan held Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo in her hands, solemnly nodded, and said quite moved, "Thank you."

When entering the west side hall, the wind was rising outside, Wannai ordered Yunchan to close the doors and windows, and undid the hooks of the peacock plain silver curtains, and the veils along the beams fell slowly and lightly, like The soft moonlight cuts off the warm sunlight outside the window.

Wanyu and Linlan were sitting side by side, and they were rushing Shuangruo to fetch mulberry cake and horseshoe soup, which were Linlan's favorite foods in daily life.

Wanyu picked up a piece and handed it to Linlan, then smiled at Linlan, "After that incident happened that day, I always thought you were there." She sighed, shook her head, and said, "These things are all frost." If they make it in a hurry, thinking about your love of food, it adds a lot of sweetness, let's try it?"

Lin Lan took the mulberry cake, took a sip, and cried again: "Mother, I'm sorry for your concern."

Wanna tapped the table lightly with her fingers, pretending to be angry and said: "It's natural to be concerned, you have to tell me what kind of adventure it is. The first time I heard about this during the day, I was so happy that I fainted for a moment, I just thought it was a scene Dream, still not confident."

Lin Lan lowered her eyes and fell into memories: "After I was dragged down by the inner prison that day, I was beaten unconscious when I left the Qianqing Palace. When I woke up, I saw that the surroundings were damp and dark, and I only thought that I had been executed to death. Hell. I was afraid, when suddenly a candle light appeared in front of my eyes, and it was Eunuch Liang who came. After he told me in detail, I realized that the emperor executed the death penalty for me with a guilty palace lady, and my life was spared because of I believe in your character, empress, but I absolutely don't believe that you were the one who poisoned the imperial concubine."

"Later, I lived in the darkroom of the Punishment Department for a few days. One day, Eunuch Liang took a veil to cover my face, and took out new clothes for me to change into. He led me to the Imperial Palace. The emperor asked me I am willing to go out of the palace, I am willing in my heart, but after all, I am an embarrassing person, and I am a disgraceful person who has been convicted. The whole family will be implicated by me. So I stayed in front of the imperial court and became a court lady serving the emperor."

"Later, Concubine An died, and I knew everything about myself, so I wanted to find an opportunity to ask the emperor to allow me to leave the palace. I have repeatedly expressed my feelings, and the emperor agreed, but what can I do?" She said, her voice weakened. Going down, as if remembering something extremely embarrassing, she didn't dare to look at Wanyu again.

Wanyu moved closer to her, with joyful tenderness in her eyes: "It's your blessing to be valued by the emperor."

Lin Lan's black eyes suddenly lit up, she frowned and looked at Wanyu: "Your Majesty, don't you blame me?"

"Blame?" Wanyu smiled lightly, and suddenly took Lin Lan's hand and said seriously: "There are so many people in the palace, the emperor is staying here today, and which concubine is staying tomorrow. If you want to blame, why not?" Complaining against others every day? And through this matter, I have a little more respect for the emperor."

Seeing Linlan's puzzled expression, she raised her eyebrows and said again: "You think about many things too simply. Do you think that if the emperor forgives you to leave the palace, you will be safe in this life? After all, you, Ama, are working in the palace. People can't leave for a while, so where is there an airtight wall in the Forbidden City? In the past, the emperor and the empress dowager had a quarrel with you because of me, but now I have the news that you have moved outside the palace before you died, how can you live? And seeing that you have to go to her palace to pay her respects for two hours after being registered as a concubine, you will know how powerful she is."

Wanyu gently caressed Linlan's beautiful face with her fingers, and said with pity: "There is such a beautiful woman who waits by the emperor's side every day, not to mention the emperor, even me, a woman, will be moved." go."

"I can't care about other things for a long time." Lin Lan clenched Wanyu's hand a little bit, and said seriously: "As long as the empress thinks about the servant, the servant will be happy in her heart." There was a bit of choking, and a thin red color appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Wan Yu's heart was also sour: "I never imagined that we will meet again. Now that you have become a serious little master, what do you mean by calling yourself a slave?"

Lin Lan's expression was serious, and she said respectfully: "The servant is the person who waits by the empress's side. If there was no empress to take care of her in the past, this life would have been folded in Xin Zheku. No matter what the status of the slave is, you are the empress. Master of slaves."

"The palace people in this palace all call my mother or young master when they see me. I really don't need someone to call me master. I do lack one, and I can call her a close friend of my sister." Wannao said Xiao Feixiao glanced at Lin Lan, and said with a smile, "I don't know if Lan is willing to agree?"

She was surprised for a moment, then nodded heavily, smiling with tears in her eyes.

After looking at each other for a moment, Lin Lan suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly: "Concubine please greet Madam Wan, Madam Jin An."

"What is this for? Get up quickly." Wan Yu hurriedly bent over to help her up, and she still joked: "First of all, as soon as we meet, Fang kneels down, saying that he is a slave. I don't know whether it's funny or angry. Your knee is too cheap."

Lin Lan's etiquette department suddenly smiled cleverly, and hurriedly took out a lot of cotton wrapped in plain cloth from her bag and shook it in front of Wanyu: "How valuable is half a tael of cotton?"

Wan Yu was startled, thought for a moment and then smiled: "What a girl, is this how you fool me all the time?"

Lin Lan stuck out her tongue playfully: "An Luo is always asked to kneel in the palace, and the palace maids are even more miserable. It is not easy to be reprimanded to kneel for a few hours. If I don't protect my body, I won't be injured that day. I was a kidnapper, and I had to be selected to work as a semi-crippled hard labor in Xinzheku. I used to secretly give these delicate things to Aunt Yunchan and Shuangruo, but they refused and went to Xiazhi After so much, there is still half a bag left.”

"How can others have more ideas than you?" Wanyu poked her temple lightly with her fingertips, shook her head and sighed: "Tomorrow I will find some careful and appropriate palace servants to serve in your palace, the most important thing is Give out the cotton you make, and let them all wear it."

The two looked at each other and smiled heartily.
