court ladies begging for joy

Chapter 19

It wasn't until a long time later that Wen Xiaowan learned that the eunuchs in Jin'an Kingdom's harem, in addition to the poor children who were bought and sold, also came from the families of many unlucky criminals.

Compared with the previous dynasties and countries, Jin Anguo was more tolerant to the family members of criminal officials who were convicted of the crime of ransacking their families and exterminating their families.

The law of Jin'an State stipulates that minor men under the age of 14 will not be executed.

The infants and half-grown teenagers of these prisoners' family members can choose to be punished to be sent to the Jiaofang Division as official servants, but they will not be redeemed for life, or they can choose to enter the palace as eunuchs—almost everyone chooses the former At that time, Nie Jinyan, who was only ten years old, chose the latter without hesitation—this is simply the only one out of a thousand choices of the same kind.

At this time, Wen Xiaowan didn't know anything, even if she knew in the future, for a while, she couldn't understand why Nie Jinyan would rather choose to be stabbed than to go to the Jiaofang Division where he could be saved for the time being, let alone understand such a thing. A choice, how cruel it is for a ten-year-old child.

At this time Wen Xiaowan, she was already dizzy from work.For the first time, she tasted the tragedy of her master's favor and the sudden increase in her workload.

Because Jin'an Emperor Longyao stayed at her master's place last night, early this morning, the gate of Yongxiao Palace was surrounded by a group of congratulatory ladies and concubines who reunited with her master's sisters under the slogan of visiting , squeezed to burst.

Jin Lan, who was standing with Wen Xiaowan, said to Wen Xiaowan in a low voice: "Look at the faces of these people. When our master was in trouble, they hid faster one by one. Now that our master is exposed to rain and dew, they are one by one. Squeezing up, I simply don't know how to write the word 'shame'."

Wen Xiaowan quietly rolled her eyes. When Jin Lan said this, her face didn't blush and her heart beat, as if she knew how to write the word 'shame'.Last night, I don't know who it was, dressed in red and green, and took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in front of Jin'an Emperor Longyao.

In the harem, there has always been a double sky of ice and fire, there is good luck, and there is bad luck.Inside Yongxiao Palace, there are colorful flowers, but outside Yongxiao Palace, it is bloody and rainy.

Wen Xiaowan only found out at night, she was helping her concubine Huang Peiying remove her makeup, and Jin Lan went out for a walk, and she had already inquired about the gossip comprehensively and in detail.

"Master, I don't know. Early this morning, Sigong Nie led people from the Punishment Department to surround Qianmeiren's Furong Courtyard and searched inside and outside. You didn't see that Qianmei was crying like something. Company Nie is such a law-enforcement person, how could she follow her tricks, after all, she found something."

Jin Lan's eyebrows were beaming, Wen Xiaowan took off Zhuhua's hand, paused, and said that Nie Jinyan reported to the public to enforce the law, so why did he seem to say that the bull's head and horse face were mascots, so unreliable.

As for what was found, Jin Lan didn't know.Gossip can gossip, but when it comes to deep secrets, they have the courage to inquire, and no one has the courage to speak out.Still have to avoid suspicion.

In the smooth polished copper mirror of Linghua, Huang Peiying's face that seems to be worried, worried, delicate and soft is reflected.Her fingers had been removed from the armor and were pressing against her forehead.

Huang Peiying's hands are very good, long and slender without looking skinny.It's the kind of shape with a small skeleton but plenty of flesh, which can wrap around the phalanx and make the whole finger look as tender as scallions.

The bright red cardamom caressed on the white skin, compared with two extreme color differences, in the twilight of the bronze mirror, it is not dazzling, but has a kind of softness.

Wen Xiaowan took a closer look. After the night last night, Huang Peiying's whole person seemed to have changed. It can be seen that Jin'an Emperor Longyao's cultivation was in place last night. This terraced field, which has been dry for a long time, finally ushered in a pouring She was nourished and refreshed, and she was smiling all day today——Lin Daiyu transformed into Xue Baochai, so it turned out that only Jia Baoyu could handle it.

In the daytime today, when facing so many sisters and sisters, she also smiled just right, neither ostentatious nor low-key, her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and she was just right.

Wen Xiaowan, who was standing by the side, sighed, no wonder it was the heroine in the original novel, and she really couldn't match her as a supporting actress.At least, in terms of face-changing, I am absolutely no match for others. If someone changes a face every second, I will have 1 minute at the fastest.

"Company Nie searched the Furong Courtyard? No wonder...a modest lady didn't come here today to please me."

Huang Peiying knows Qianmei people best.

Even before, Qianmei stepped on her when she was in trouble, but once she regains favor, Qianmei will pick her up, the degree of shamelessness can be seen in the entire harem.

"Where does that bitch have time to come to us to make a fool of myself? If she wants to keep it safe this time, it will be difficult."

Jin Lan took the emerald-encrusted gold buddy Wen Xiaowan handed over, and carefully put it in the fifth folder on the second floor of the sandalwood vanity box standing beside her, a person's height, her tone couldn't hide the gloating .

"Oh? What happened?"

Huang Peiying rubbed her fingers on her forehead and slowly took them away.Things like searching the palace are not caused by ordinary small mistakes.Although they couldn't guess and couldn't continue to ask this question, but based on what Jin Lan said, they found something, no matter what it was, I'm afraid it was conclusive evidence.

So many sisters and sisters came here today, and they ate her two big plates of melon seeds, but none of them gossiped about it with her. It must have happened very suddenly.

Furongyuan is located in Yiqing Palace.The main seat of Yiqing Palace is Concubine Qi, who is high and powerful. She is a veteran faction in the harem. She also gave birth to Princess Qingxi, the eldest daughter of Emperor Jin'an Emperor Longyao. She has been favored for several years.

Concubine Qi seems to be a talkative person, with a smile on her lips all year round, but the palace is extremely strict, and everyone knows that there is an accident in Furongyuan, but it is extremely difficult to find out something from Yiqing Palace.

Jin Lan didn't have that ability, she only heard something faintly, "It seems to be related to the assassin at the birthday banquet yesterday, Sister Wan'er, do you know? You went to Ci'an Palace yesterday."

Although Wen Xiaowan didn't interject, she could hear clearly what the two master and servant said. When she was fiddling with the objects in her hands, she occasionally peeked at Huang Peiying's expression.

At this time, Jin Lan asked herself, Wen Xiaowan put the rouge she was pinching into the incense box, and then said: "Yesterday, the Ci'an Palace was very dangerous. The Empress Dowager Qiansui was frightened, and the Lord Long Live will not spare this person lightly." Yes."

About the assassination of Ci'an Palace, Wen Xiaowan told her concubine Huang Peiying yesterday when she returned to Yongxiao Palace.At that time, Huang Peiying thought that only the emperor Long Yao was the only one, and when she heard that the birthday ceremony won the sacred heart, she was both happy and surprised, her mind was confused, how could she think about an assassin.

Today everything is stable, and with the little news from Jin Lan, Huang Peiying feels something is wrong.How could this assassin sneak into the palace single-handedly, and still pretend to be a court lady, so as not to arouse others' suspicion, all the way into the Ci'an Palace, which is under strict investigation.

That's not the cold palace where the dying live, that's the Ci'an Palace where the Empress Dowager lives.

The Empress Dowager's annual birthday banquet, this year's turn is still the whole life. For this reason, the emperor, as early as half a month ago, amnesty the world, how could he not put gold on his face on the day of the birthday banquet, the defense there is afraid that the whole palace , the most formidable.

The most interesting thing is that this assassin not only showed his face on the stage, but also retreated in the end...

Seeing Huang Peiying frowned slightly, Wen Xiaowan continued, "The maid who turned into an assassin was testified to be by the side of Qianmei, and she was also brought into Ci'an Palace. Even if she has ten thousand reasons to explain, she can't explain it. It’s good to get out of the way.”

This is what Xiao Fuzi told her when he sent her back to Yongxiao Palace yesterday.

After listening to it, she was stunned for a moment, and asked how Xiao Fuzi knew that the maid was by Qianmei's side.

Xiao Fuzi is worthy of being someone Nie Jinyan needs by his side, with a careful heart and a poisonous eye.

He said that when Qianmei came in wearing that gorgeous big pink body, he noticed that one of the maids behind Qianmei was too tall.Compared with the maids, it was very unfriendly, but considering that the maids around Qianmei were always surprised, he didn't think much about it at the time.

If you want to say that in this palace, the head of any palace, and the maids with him, like to bring two or three pretty, smart and pleasing ones.

With the exception of Qianmei, her hobbies are different from others.

Maybe it's because she's always thinking about poaching other people's corners, and she's more wary of those around her than anyone else.She was always afraid that one day, she would be betrayed by the people around her.Therefore, she stopped this sign at the source early on.

The court ladies next to Qianmei are not as good as the nuns who sweep in the cold palace.

It's really embarrassing for Qianmei, she has the ability to always find a few weird varieties among a bunch of young girls that can be exhibited in the Alien World Expo.Not to mention that the emperor didn't like it, even the eunuchs in the palace wanted to run away when they saw it.

In the palace, it often happened that after the maid next to the lord climbed onto the emperor's bed, the modest lady was really excited about her brilliance for a while, but this time..., Xiao He was successful and Xiao He was defeated, and she shot herself in the foot.

"In the Palace of Humble Beauty?" Although Huang Peiying wanted to maintain her calm image in front of the servants, she couldn't control her own 'surprise', "She... she is so brave." Then, Staring at Wen Xiaowan with eager eyes.

Wen Xiaowan understands Huang Peiying's mood too well. The modest woman has offended many people in the palace, and there are quite a few people waiting to see her jokes.

"During the day, when the maidservant took the new cook to get the orders from the Supervisor of Food, I heard from Eunuch Huang there that the emperor went back to the study of the Qianqing Palace after the early court, announced to Sigong Nie, and issued an imperial edict. , ordered to investigate this matter strictly, because Qian Meiren belonged to Yiqing Palace, Qi Guifei should have avoided suspicion, the emperor wanted to ask the empress to take charge of it, but it was reported from Qifeng Palace that the empress was frightened by the assassination yesterday , This morning, it was uploaded by Imperial Physician Hu, and Imperial Physician Hu said that the empress should not bother, so the emperor called Empress Concubine Su again, and went to Yiqing Palace with Sigong Nie, "

At the end, Wen Xiaowan added another sentence, "The emperor still trusts Concubine Qi, who has saved face for Concubine Qi, and asked Concubine Su and Concubine Qi to co-host, and Company Nie to cooperate. Be sure to investigate this matter clearly. Find out the flaws in the harem."

Wen Xiaowan must not be able to sort out how many detours and detours were made in the short speech.This assassination matter is by no means what the word 'assassination' can represent.What's inside is too deep.

Fortunately, her master got the grace last night.The world is used to stepping on the low and flattering the high. She went to the food supervisor today, and there was no little Fuzi to accompany her. The head of the food supervisor, Eunuch Huang, also smiled at her like a Maitreya Buddha. Before she could speak, This Maitreya Buddha babbled a lot.

Huang Peiying thought about it several times, smiled lightly, and said softly, "This matter is interesting."

It's a good omen for such a happy event just after she regained her favor.
