palace heart

Chapter 22
Li Qianlan didn't care either, slaves like them had to serve their master at any time, it would be nice if they could eat, and there were times when they didn't dare to eat like noon.Even if she became a female official, in the eyes of those high-ranking people, she was just a high-level servant.There's no need for Li Qianlan to embarrass Qiuyun with this, just eat it in a few bites.

At this time, Eunuch Xi came over and said in a flat voice: "My lord, you don't have to wait, the emperor has gone to the Chaoxia Palace to rest." He said this to Li Qianlan in a flat voice without looking at Li Qianlan .Look at the nose with the eyes, and watch the heart with the nose.Although Emperor Ying couldn't see it, he didn't dare to show any signs of getting close to Li Qianlan.

"Thank you, Eunuch Xi." Hearing Eunuch Xi's voice like an endorsement, Li Qianlan pulled the corner of his mouth and gave a wry smile. It seemed that he was really not liked by Emperor Ying. Although Eunuch Xi didn't show too close yesterday, he was not. like this.If Emperor Ying hadn't neglected him for a day, Eunuch Xi would never show his face.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Emperor Ying leaving the imperial study room with the eunuchs and maids in his arms.Said to Qiuyun: "Send me back."

Hearing Eunuch Xi's report, Emperor Ying said playfully, "Really? She didn't say anything, and didn't even show any dissatisfaction?"

He knew before that Li Qianlan was extremely smart and very tolerant.It's rare that she didn't use Empress Dowager Gao to be arrogant when I treated her like that before.If Li Qianlan was not born in the Li Mansion, but in another big family, she must be the head of the house.In fact, Emperor Ying had to admit that if the Li family was still there, he would also be willing to marry Li Qianlan back as the mother of the country.

"Back to the emperor, Li Qianlan thanked her in a very calm tone, and then asked the maid to help her back."

"You go down." Li Qianlan, since you are so knowledgeable, I would be too sorry if I didn't treat you well.Immediately, Emperor Ying hugged Jieyu, who was just sealed off two days ago, and fell on the bed, feeling overwhelmed.

The next day, before Li Qianlan went to the imperial study, she was called by Empress Dowager Gao.Li Qianlan felt a little uneasy in her heart, although she wanted to work hard for a while and didn't want to touch Emperor Ying, but Empress Dowager Gao would not let her never enter the imperial study.It's just that Li Qianlan didn't expect that Empress Dowager Gao would come to look for her in just one day.

Li Qianlan knelt down uneasy, but when she saw Liu Ruyun standing behind Empress Dowager Gao, she was stunned for a moment.

"You also know Liu Ruyun, she is your good friend. It just so happens that you still lack a servant by your side, so the Ai family assigned her to you. In case Qiuyun runs around alone, and she leaves, you have no one to take care of her." people."

Li Qianlan seemed to be unable to understand what Empress Dowager Gao said, and stared blankly at Liu Ruyun who was expressionless.

"Okay, you kneel down."

Li Qianlan and Liu Ruyun agreed in unison, and retreated.

As soon as he went out, Li Qianlan took Liu Ruyun's hand, "Why are you here? The Empress Dowager asked you to come here?"

"Responding to the words of the sage, the empress dowager sees that there is only one servant by your side, so she transferred the slaves to serve the lord." Liu Ruyun lowered her head, and after saying this, she laughed out loud, seeing Li Qianlan's astonished expression, she laughed. Even more proud, "You also said that we are good friends, and you didn't tell me when you were promoted. If Ke'er hadn't told me, would you have planned to keep it from me for the rest of your life? Or, do you think I can't be your friend anymore?"

"No, no." Li Qianlan was sweating anxiously when she heard this, "You know, I won't do this. It's just that my mother just left a few days ago, and I've gone through so much. In fact, I'm afraid of hurting you. Go up to the scenery..."

Liu Ruyun hugged Li Qianlan, and pressed her head on her shoulder, "I also heard about what happened yesterday, you know if you are involved or not, I am an orphan, and I am not as smart as you. It wasn't you, I would have died a long time ago. My life is yours. Are you afraid that you will be involved? Let me tell you, I, Liu Ruyun, lived for three more years, and it was all thanks to Li Qianlan. Even if I die now, I have earned three years Have a good day!"

"What are you talking about!" Li Qianlan hugged her only friend tightly, "You can't die, no one will kill me, I won't die, how can it be your turn!"

"That's not it!" Liu Ruyun sighed softly, and forced a smile: "Everyone says that it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but you are a sage, let's see who dares to bully our sisters!"

Li Qianlan took Liu Ruyun's hand, "A few days ago I was..."

"Let's sisters don't talk about this, go to the imperial study. It's already this hour, whether you need it or not is up to the emperor, but the emperor won't be able to see you in the early morning. If the crime comes down, wouldn't I be guilty of a big crime? You haven't made a mistake yet, you were left out in the cold, if you neglect the emperor a little bit, why don't you take off your fox skin?" Liu Ruyun laughed and ran forward after finishing speaking.

Li Qianlan immediately chased after him, "Who is the fox!"

The two quarreled and left Dexuan Palace, so they stopped arguing.Li Qianlan said to Liu Ruyun in a low voice: "Just tell me what you said just now. It's not something we can discuss about the emperor. I've mentioned you many times, why don't you remember?"

Liu Ruyun stuck out her tongue, "It was just you and me! What are you afraid of!" But she also knew that what she just said was wrong, so she only dared to make a small argument.Seeing Li Qianlan glared at him reproachfully, he stopped talking.

When the two left Dexuan Palace, they saw Qiuyun waiting in front of the door, and took Qiuyun to the imperial study.Qiu Yun followed behind the two of them and remained silent for a long time.

"Autumn cloud?"

"Ah?" Qiu Yun raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, and found Li Qianlan calling her, and asked in a panic: "My lord."

Li Qianlan smiled nonchalantly, "Ruyun and I are good sisters who grew up since we were young. We haven't seen each other for a month, so we kissed a little and forgot about you. The queen mother sent you here. Do what you have to do, don't worry too much Don't worry, we are all working for the Empress Dowager."

After hearing this, Qiu Yun was moved. She didn't expect that Li Qianlan was so easy to talk to, and she knew that she was here to monitor her. Not only did she not exclude her, but she was also so friendly.

The three of them talked and stood in front of the imperial study room.Of course, only Li Qianlan and Qiuyun stood up, while Liu Ruyun and Qiuyun took turns sitting on the side to rest.Anyway, the person Yingdi wants to see is only her.

When Emperor Ying left the morning court, he saw Li Qianlan standing outside the imperial study room, snorted, and went in.

Since the morning, the sky has been gloomy, Liu Ruyun saw that she couldn't pretend well, so she hurried to get an umbrella.As soon as the umbrella was put on, the heavy rain fell.Liu Ruyun was only thankful that she reacted quickly, otherwise, Li Qianlan would definitely have gonorrhea.

But Li Qianlan and Liu Ruyun stood alone in front of the imperial study, the oil umbrella couldn't keep out the wind and rain at all, and after a while, both of them were drenched.

Li Qianlan hesitated for a moment, she knew that Emperor Ying was angry with the queen mother, and she was just the unlucky one caught in the middle.It doesn't matter if she gets wet by herself, but Liu Ruyun and Qiu Yun don't need to get wet with her.Then he took the umbrella and said to Liu Ruyun: "Go and change your clothes, go back and wait for me."

"No!" Liu Ruyun said firmly.

Li Qianlan smiled, "Standing here like this, can you protect me from the wind, or can you also protect me from the rain? Why don't you go back and wait for me, and when I go back, you can wash me well!"

Seeing Liu Ruyun hesitated, he urged: "Go quickly, I will hide for a while."

The two were talking, and Eunuch Xi came out, saw Li Qianlan holding an umbrella and shouted: "Who told you to stand outside with an umbrella!"

Hearing Eunuch Xi's sharp shout, Li Qianlan raised her head, smiled suddenly, and walked up the steps.The wind and rain were too strong, and the umbrella had already lost its function, and the rain was all over my body and face.Rainwater flowed down Li Qianlan's cheeks, and her wet hair stuck to her cheeks. Although she was a little embarrassed, the aura emanating from her body made Eunuch Xi take two steps back slightly.

Li Qianlan stood under the eaves, facing Grandpa Xi. "Everyone is a slave, but slaves are also divided into ranks. No matter what happens to Qianlan in the future, but at this time, I am a fourth-rank sage and female official, and you are just a chief eunuch, and you are still a sixth-rank. Your Majesty But you didn't say let me stand outside, even if I sit in the rest room, what can you do?"

"You!" Eunuch Xi didn't expect that Li Qianlan, who has been patient until now, would be so strong at this time, that he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Now you can ask the emperor to order me to shower outside, otherwise, get out of the way!" With that said, Li Qianlan went to the small room to rest inside.Although there are no dry clothes, it is better to be indoors than outside.

After sitting for a while, Liu Ruyun came in with clothes, and she was also dry. "That girl Qiuyun is smart. When I went to get you an umbrella, she went to the maid in the imperial study to ask for some dry clothes, but you are not allowed to wear the clothes of a court lady. When you are in trouble, Master Shen will send you an official Take it."

Li Qianlan touched the clean clothes, feeling a little sweet in her heart.After he sneezed, he quickly took off his wet clothes, thinking in his heart: Emperor Ying is determined not to let her into the imperial study.If this matter is handled well, then it will show that she is very useful, otherwise, maybe someone else will replace her tomorrow!
Naturally, Eunuch Xi was instructed by Emperor Ying to dare to treat Li Qianlan like this, but Li Qianlan pushed him back mercilessly, and indignantly, he told Emperor Ying again emphatically.

Emperor Ying could hear it naturally, he knew Li Qianlan better, and he would never say anything outrageous.Therefore, he only believed [-]% of Eunuch Xi's words. "Okay, you go down, don't worry about her. She can't enter my imperial study, I don't know how Empress Dowager Gao will make things difficult for her."
