concubines are respected

Chapter 101
Thinking of this, Suxian's heart was a little heavy, she never expected to meet this person when she entered the palace for the first time, even though this person did not come for her, it is better to be careful with her words.

While thinking, a middle-aged lady dressed in a golden Luoluan costume, with a high cloud bun, and gilt and flower-playing pearls inserted obliquely between her buns, walked in with a smile.

"See the Empress Dowager." Concubine Lan gave a slight blessing, and after being granted a seat by the Empress Dowager, she got up and sat on the side of the fairy, and said with concern, "I heard that the Empress Dowager's old problem has recurred, I wonder if today is better? "

"Well, it's much better." The Queen Mother nodded, her gaze gently sweeping over Suxian.

Only then did Suxian go forward and greet Concubine Lan, "Lin Suxian, the daughter of the people, kowtows to Concubine Lan."

"You are..." Lan Fei finally noticed the existence of Suxian.

"This child is very good at acupressure, he was recommended by Ze'er, and made a special trip to the palace to serve Ai's family." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Concubine Lan heard that Suxian was brought into the palace by the third prince, so she couldn't help but look at her twice, with a faint expression of displeasure in her eyes.

It's no wonder that Concubine Lan is quite wary of Suxian, who was brought into the palace by the third prince. As far as the power in the court is concerned, the third prince and the fifth prince are in their own faction, and they are in a state of confrontation.The girl in front of her is being held by the Empress Dowager by the Third Prince, so why not let her be more on guard.

The Queen Mother didn't pay attention to Concubine Lan's expression, and asked in a low voice, "Concubine Lan, you came just in time. I heard that the emperor was choosing a concubine for Yu'er some time ago. Why did he go through a lot of trouble, but there was no news? I heard that Yu'er took a concubine instead, so what's the point?"

When it came to the matter of taking in concubines, Concubine Lan was immediately depressed, and said angrily, "Going back to the Queen Mother... This matter is not Yu'er's fault, and Yu'er is also following the advice of the Lin family."

Suxian was not annoyed when she heard Concubine Lan's words like this.The mess between Zijuan and the fifth prince was indeed a trick set up by Zijuan, but the flies were not biting seamlessly. If the fifth prince had no evil intentions, how could he fall so easily under Zijuan's pomegranate skirt.

In the final analysis, neither of them is a good guy.

"The Lin family, which Lin family, could it be that Yu'er took a girl from the Lin Mansion as a concubine?" The noble concubine's family has a very high status in the capital, so how could she be willing to marry the daughter of the daughter of a daughter to the fifth prince as a concubine.

"Queen Mother, that woman is the granddaughter of the Lin family, she is from the Guo family. Yu'er was also fascinated by ghosts for a while, so..." Because the things that the fifth prince did that day were too filthy, Concubine Lan was afraid of mentioning that she would offend the Queen Mother. , Speaking of this, he paused for a while, changed his way of speaking, and continued, "That's why I fell in love with the woman named Guo Zijuan. Today, the Lin family has sent her to the prince's mansion. Because of this, Yu'er Being banned in the prince's mansion by the emperor's decree, I must not be able to serve you by your side in the past few days."

Seeing Concubine Lan pointing her finger at the Lin family, Suxian thought to herself that Concubine Lan must not know her identity, and if she continued to stay, it would be a bit inappropriate, it seems that it is better to withdraw as soon as possible.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, it's getting late, please allow Suxian to leave. Suxian will re-enter the palace tomorrow to treat the Empress Dowager's back pain." Suxian said respectfully with a deep blessing.

The queen mother thought for a while, and Concubine Lan was talking about royal family affairs. Suqian, an outsider, had heard about it, and it was indeed inappropriate, so she nodded, and took out a jade token from her pocket and handed it to Suqian, " Girl, take it, with this waist card, you can enter and leave the palace at any time in the future. It will be much more convenient to treat Ai's family in the future."

Suxian took the smooth and delicate waist card, suppressed her maddened mood, and calmly thanked the old lady for her blessing, and then stepped back to the door of the bedroom before turning around and retreating.

"Empress Dowager, although this girl was recommended by Ze'er, she doesn't know her background. Don't you worry that she has ulterior motives in entering the palace if you give her a badge?" Seeing that she won the waist card, she felt extremely displeased, and couldn't help but speak to the Queen Mother.

"Hehe, Concubine Lan, you are worrying too much. This woman's surname is Lin, and she is the niece of Concubine Yuan's clan. How could she not know the basics, let alone have other intentions." The queen mother said with a smile.

"What? She's from the Lin family?" Concubine Lan was startled, with an uncertain expression on her face, she was stunned for a while, and then gritted her teeth and said inwardly. It turned out that Yu'er was unwilling to make a concubine before, and then went to the Lin Mansion to visit a doctor and made a big mistake, all because of this woman!Ben Gong didn't trouble you, but you sent yourself to the palace. Just wait and see, Ben Gong will definitely make you look good!
Since that day, Suxian has frequently entered and exited the imperial palace, and spent more time in the imperial palace than Lin's residence. The originally deserted Ci Ning Palace became much more lively because of Suxian's arrival.

Under the physical therapy of Su Xianqiao's hands, the queen mother's back pain gradually eased, and she also trusted Su Xian more and more. She would always keep her until very late every day before letting her go.

Fortunately, the Lin Mansion is not too far from the imperial city, and it only takes half an hour to get back and forth by chariot.The queen mother is kind and kind, and Suxian is also happy to be by her side, but occasionally recalls that she approached the queen mother with other purposes at the beginning, and she feels a little guilty in her heart.Simply serve the Empress Dowager more intimately to relieve her shame.

At about [-] o'clock this day, Suxian got up early to wash up under the service of Yanzi, just like in the past.

Vanilla also delivered an exquisite breakfast in time, "Second Miss, today the maidservant has prepared golden cake with jam and two-color horseshoe cake, please try it quickly."

Suxian looked at the golden jam cake and two-color horseshoe cake that were both colorful and fragrant, straightened her cuffs, picked up the small porcelain spoon on the table, scooped a small spoon on the soft pastry, and put it in her mouth. Chewing, "Well, Vanilla's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Recently, I have been working harder and making all kinds of pastries in different ways every day. I don't know when you learned this skill."

Xiangcao put lily and lotus seed porridge into the plain fiber bowl, and said with an embarrassed smile, "That's not a skill. The servant saw that the second lady often went to the palace to serve the queen mother recently, and it was very hard to go back and forth. So I deliberately moved forward Mother He in the dining room asked for some advice, trying to change the taste of the second lady. If the second lady likes it, eat more."

"Well, I like it, I like it." Suxian was not polite, and took another spoonful of jam golden cake into her mouth, and teased Yanzi vaguely, "A few days ago, the breakfast made by Yanzi was delicious. But compared to vanilla, it still owes three points..."

Swallow heard the words, Buyi raised her small mouth, and said coquettishly, "Second Miss has delicious food now, so I forgot about the kindness of the servant girl. A while ago, you said that the lotus paste cake made by the servant girl is fragrant, glutinous and soft. But today, I’m talking about slaves again.”

Seeing Yanzi's little face flushed, Suxian took a sip of the lily and lotus seed porridge, and smiled, "Okay, look at your little mouth, you can put an oil pot on it, so I won't tease you anymore, come here, come too Try the golden cake with jam made by vanilla, it tastes really good."

After finishing speaking, Suxian picked up a piece of golden cake with jam with the bamboo chopsticks beside it, and fed it to the swallow's mouth affectionately.

"It's delicious, Miss Vanilla, you're really good at it. Make some more in another day, and let me satisfy my hunger." Yanzi said to Vanilla with a round face and a smile.

Vanilla pursed her lips and smiled, nodding repeatedly.

"However, under the fine mouth, this golden cake is a bit sour..." Yanzi smacked his lips, reminiscing about the golden cake with jam.

Vanilla glared at Yanzi pretending to be annoyed, "If you have to eat it, you'll be stingy. The jam naturally has a fruity taste, so it's strange to have a slightly sour taste. If you don't like it, I'll make it for Cui Ya to taste some other day. It's not for you." gone?"

"Oh, Miss Vanilla, don't be angry, I'm just talking casually..." Seeing that Vanilla didn't like it, Yan Zi coquettishly held Vanilla's hand and said flatteringly.

"Hey..." Vanilla pulled her hand back in pain.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Suxian put down the bamboo chopsticks in her hand with concern, and asked softly with her head raised.

"I accidentally burned my hand in the kitchen just now. The servant has already given the medicine, so it's okay." Xiangcao tugged at her cuff and continued to speak to Suxian, "Second miss, it's almost time, I think the chariot is already here Wait outside the mansion, don't miss the time to enter the palace."

"Well, it's almost time. Cuiya has prepared the incense." Suxian wiped the corners of her lips with silk, got up and walked out of the bedroom.

In the side room, Cui Ya quickly walked out with a mahogany box, "Second Miss, I have prepared everything according to your instructions, but if you pack it away, there will be very little incense left in the incense pavilion." gone."

"It's okay, I'll make it again when I'm free some other day. Recently, the Queen Mother has been saying that the incense sent by the Royal Fragrance Secretary in the palace is not to her liking. Knowing that I learned some incense-making techniques from my mother back then, she asked me to take it with me. Try entering the palace." Suxian took the mahogany box and said with a self-deprecating, "I don't know if this thing can catch the eyes of the Empress Dowager."

Suxian was walking forward, chatting nonsense, when she just walked to the gate of the courtyard, she suddenly felt dizzy and staggered to the side. Fortunately, she raised her hand to support the gatepost in time, so she didn't fall down.

"Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" Yanzi was shocked, and rushed forward, holding Suxian's arm tightly.

Suxian shook her head, raised her hand to rub her sore temples, and said softly, "I often go out of the house recently, and I always have many dreams at night. Maybe it's because I didn't rest well. It's okay."

After finishing speaking, Qiang cheered up and continued to walk outside the courtyard.

"Second Miss, you are not feeling well, and you have to go into the palace to serve the Queen Mother, so how can you let the slaves rest assured?" Yanzi walked all the way with Suxian, her face wrinkled into a ball, "Why don't you send someone to bring a letter into the palace, another day Let's go again."

Suxian laughed, "You girl, you said it lightly. How can you enter the palace just by saying it? Don't look at me going in and out every day. It's because I have the waist card bestowed by the queen mother. If you change How can I just send someone into the palace to report the news. Besides, I have accepted the Empress Dowager yesterday, and I will bring some incense into the palace today. If I don’t go, I will be breaking my promise.”

Seeing that Suxian couldn't be stopped, Yanzi simply stiffened her neck and said stubbornly, "Then you take your servant and let this servant serve you all the way!"

"You're talking nonsense again, that's the imperial palace, and the current sage lives in it, so you can't just enter it." Suxian smiled helplessly, making sure that the dizziness was gone, and continued to walk forward.

The chariot jolted gently, and hurried to the gate of the palace, Suxian got off the car and walked into the imperial city, walking through the very familiar Yongxiang.
