The favorite concubine of the system is in power

Chapter 279

"Meng Lan," Xiao Wanwan said, "Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and ask Eunuch Li if the Emperor wants to eat at Yongxiu Palace at noon today?"

Meng Lan responded, and hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When I walked halfway, I happened to run into Eunuch Li, Meng Lan was overjoyed and rushed to meet him.

"Father."

Eunuch Li also laughed: "It's just a coincidence, the Sa family happened to be going to Yongxiu Palace, and now they met Miss Menglan on the road, so they troubled Miss Menglan to take the emperor's words to the empress, the emperor has a lot of business today, so he will not go to the empress Lunch is already served in the palace, so there is no need for the empress to wait."

Meng Lan nodded, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Eunuch Li's lips moving, hesitant to speak.

She had been working with Eunuch Li for a while, and her mind was clever, so she realized something all of a sudden, and asked along the way: "I wonder if the emperor will come to Yongxiu Palace in the afternoon? The servants should prepare something and wait."

Eunuch Li waved his hand and said, "The person who came to see the emperor today is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and they are discussing matters related to the draft. Every three years, a group of beautiful women will be selected to enter the palace. Now the spring election is only half a month away. , I’m afraid I won’t be free during this time.”

Meng Lan was taken aback for a moment, that's right, she actually forgot that there is such a thing as spring elections!
Meng Lan returned to Yongxiu Palace full of worries, Xiao Wanwan asked her, "What did the Emperor say?"

"Eunuch Li said that the emperor is very busy today, and he won't be going to Yongxiu Palace all day."

Xiao Wanwan nodded: "Let someone pass the meal on."

Meng Lan agreed, but she was a little absent-minded when doing things.

It is quite normal for draft girls to enter the palace, not to mention that the emperor is still so young, and the concubines in the palace have been lost one after another. Now the harem is really cold and lonely, and the spring election is also necessary .

But Menglan was very entangled in whether to tell Xiao Wanwan about this matter.

If any master is changed, Meng Lan will naturally say without any scruples that these ladies in the harem will naturally feel unhappy when facing the new couple, but everyone knows that this is a rule, an ancestral system handed down, and there is no way to disobey it. No matter how unhappy you are, you will keep it in your heart.

But facing Xiao Wanwan, Meng Lan was a little uncertain.

Her empress is right to say that she is calm and rational. She is very sober most of the time, but it is not false to say that she is a bit of a tiger, and she often said some shocking words to the emperor.

Even Cheng Shuang could see Meng Lan's absent-mindedness, and Cheng Shuang said: "Sister Meng Lan, if you are not feeling well, go and take a rest, I will just serve your mother."

Meng Lan shook her head: "No need, I'm fine."

She prepared vegetables for Xiao Wanwan, and put a piece of onion into Xiao Wanwan's bowl.

Xiao Wanwan raised her head and glanced at her: "Menglan, what's on your mind?"

Xiao Wanwan never ate onions, but Meng Lan had never made such a low-level mistake before.

Meng Lan came back to her senses all of a sudden, quickly put down her chopsticks, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, slave..."

"What are you doing kneeling, get up quickly," Xiao Wanwan said, "The weather has been erratic recently, with sunny periods and rainy periods, it's really easy to make people feel irritable, so don't be too tired."

Meng Lan also made a decision in her heart.

It is impossible to hide such a big event from the empress, even if she doesn't tell it now, someone else will say it, even if no one tells the empress, the empress will find out about it because of the emperor's abnormality.
