On the way, Yin Minglu held a kite and chatted with Xie Yan.
Back in the courtyard, among a group of palace servants who usually take care of their own food and daily life, the teenager looked left and right. The curious eyes of the bead were very beautiful, making people want to touch them. He said, "Where's the bright moon that serves me?"
He just remembered that it had been a long time since he had seen that maid with a beautiful voice, a beautiful appearance, and a good hand in massaging and beating her back. Usually accompanied by a group of eunuchs, or plain-looking palace maids, all of them are old, not even young.
So for a while, I miss the young and beautiful Mingyue quite a bit.
Xie Yan said: "The palace maid is old, and the internal supervisor let her go out to marry." It is strange that a maid of ninety-five can remember the name of a palace maid.
Yin Minglu pursed his lips and said, "Where is the age? I remember she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was in the age of cardamom." But within half a year, many palace people went back and forth around him, and there were some new faces, because of this kind of thing It happened a lot, and his sadness for parting has faded a lot.
As soon as the words fell, he fell into Xie Yan's deep eyes. The other party looked at him quietly, with an unquestionable indifference on his face, which made Yin Minglu tremble uncontrollably. He always felt that the other party didn't want to He heard the maid's name from his mouth, and he didn't know what the maid did wrong, which made Emperor Jing so disgusted.
Yin Minglu had no choice but to change the subject and mentioned himself coquettishly, saying that he was thirteen years old this year. At this age, he could marry a wife and have a baby. He could no longer live in the palace. It was time to go out of the palace to live, whether it was to find him a ready-made mansion or build a new one, this matter should be put on the agenda.
After the rankings are released this year, the housing prices in the capital must be tense again. He has to find a good location as soon as possible. Should he choose the bustling East Street or the West Street next to the Flower and Bird Market? Yin Minglu said that he was looking forward to it!
Regarding this matter, Xie Yan smiled, began to perfunctory daily, and said to Yin Minglu: You are still young, you are still young, and you are facing a huge mansion, and no one will help to host the central feed. Let's talk about it when you are older. If the young man showed dissatisfaction, he said lightly: The Ministry of Housing and Industry has included this matter in the itinerary, and will start to investigate Feng Shui and choose the address in a few days. After the location is settled, the construction will begin. As for when it will be completed, I don't know. The construction efficiency of ancient buildings was low. It took 20 or 30 years to build an imperial mausoleum, and it took many years to build a palace. Then, before the project was completed, the emperor would suffocate and the concubine would fall out of favor. It is estimated that if the address is chosen, it will take at least four or five years for the completion of the residence of the prince with the different surname.
Moreover, Emperor Jing also said otherwise, saying that it is not that he will not build it for him, but that in the current prosperous age, the Haihe River Qingyan feasts, but there will be natural and man-made disasters from time to time. The people are displaced, they are pitiful, etc., the money of the Ministry of Finance will naturally be used for those major projects of people's livelihood, and his small house will naturally have to queue up infinitely.
In the face of these claims, Yin Minglu could only watch it eagerly. Although he felt a little wronged in his heart, he wondered how much money it would cost to build a mansion. In the end, I dare not say that I am more important than Guotai Minan.
Seeing that the young man had compromised aggrievedly, Xie Yan smiled, and the emotion in his eyes disappeared again.
On the other side, there is a colorful garden with hundreds of flowers competing for research.
When Xie Yan picked up the purse and threw it back, his attitude was casual, and it could even be said to be flowing, but he actually brought a little internal energy. , smashed a big bag.
The girl clutched her blushing forehead, and gasped because of the pain. When she realized that things were different from what she thought, she cursed her mother secretly in her heart.
In her script, Emperor Jing found this delicate purse beside the cobblestone path, and he couldn't help but be attracted by the lifelike and beautiful butterfly pattern. Holding the purse, he would come back and ask a group of beautiful girls in the garden who embroidered this thing, and praised the people who sewed it for their intelligence.
At this time, she will pretend to be shy and surprised, and stand up generously. She knows that her delicate facial features have no advantage in being a beauty, but her ingenuity will temporarily make up for the shortcomings of her appearance, so that the emperor will notice her at once, and feel that her quiet, melancholy, beautiful and refined temperament, in a crowd How extraordinary is it among the vulgar fans. In other words, it is to excavate her inner beauty, and I feel that she is not at all different from those coquettish bitches who have no specialties other than good looks.
Isn't this the bridge section of many ancient TV dramas! And according to the information detected by the system, Emperor Jing Xieyan likes people with beautiful eyes. So for this moment, she specially spent the only 300 points in exchange for fifteen minutes of "Bright Eyes" in the system mall, hoping that when the emperor looked at her, he couldn't help but be fascinated by her agility. The beautiful eyes of the deer in the mountains.
Even if the time limit is only a quarter of an hour, it is more than enough time for a man to fall in love with a woman at first sight and have a good impression. When the favorability value reaches 100, she can directly own the permanent version of "Bright Eyes", so the sale of these 300 points is completely cost-effective!
But I never imagined that the emperor did not follow her script, nor did he come back to see them, these beautiful girls, as if they were ruthless and ruthless, and the purse was also decisively thrown back. It was extremely powerful and painful. She wanted to swear.
I thought it was wrong, such a beautiful handicraft that seems to be out of this world is enough to make any men and women who appreciate talent stop there. There is no reason for the emperor to do this. Could it be that some eunuch who doesn't understand the style picked it up? Because I don't know how to appreciate it, I threw it back coldly
Qin Manman was puzzled and groaned in pain. After not seeing the emperor for a long time, he secretly regretted that he had wasted the three hundred points.
Across the palace wall, Xie Yan keenly heard the woman's cry of pain, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had seen many such tricks in the palace. However, a mere girl with no grades, who has not officially participated in the selection, dares to use such means to strive for the top, it seems that she has a big heart. Just like the second-class palace maid named Mingyue, who came from a poor family and a wild family, with a very low status, but she dared to rely on the child's favor and love, and wanted to climb up, without seeing whether her humble status was worthy of it, How ridiculous!
But the child is different. He has seen such tricks a lot and is tired of it, but the child is still young, and he has never heard of it. A beautifully crafted trap.
And then be fascinated by an unfamiliar, wily woman. Just like those children of aristocratic families who have never seen the world, who went to the prosperous Hualiu for the first time, they were coaxed by those superb women in the field, so they lost their minds, and they foolishly gave their sincerity.
Thinking of which woman would coax that child into being so willing that he couldn't find Bei, Xie Yan's face froze, his brows knitted, and his thin lips were pursed. He rejected this possibility and couldn't help but go back There were a few courtiers who were good at seeing and winking around that person, so that they would usually watch people closely and try to keep them as far away from the group of women in the harem as possible.
After Yin Minglu climbed out of the steam-drenched tub behind the screen, he suddenly found that there were more people waiting around him, standing in the shadow of the eaves, with their faces lowered and silent, like tool men. , there really is no sense of existence, so Yin Minglu really didn't notice it when it was dazzling.
But when it came time to get dressed, people came out one by one.
One brushes his hair, one stands and puts on his outer robe, one kneels to put on socks for him, the other kneels to tie his belt, and puts them on one by one. He is attentive, but always makes Yin Minglu feel that there is something wrong with him. wrong. And wherever he went, these people followed him.
Holding a wooden comb, Xiao Man stood aside in embarrassment, complaining that his job was not guaranteed.
Yin Minglu also looked strange. He had a lot of people to serve him when he ate, dressed and dressed. Gradually, after getting used to the days when he was fed with clothes and food, he always felt that he was being raised more and more lazily, and wanted more and more. He's out of the palace, otherwise, after he's fully adapted, how will he live when he's out of the palace
You know, in the past, he was also a good boy who carried the water basin, brushed his teeth and washed his face, tidied the bed and bedding by himself, and had enough food and clothing by himself.
So during the dinner, he took the opportunity to say to Xie Yan with a delicate soup bowl that he didn't need so many waiters around him.
The young man who had just finished his bath was dressed in a well-arranged fine attire, with long black hair hanging over his shoulders, his delicate and delicate face was still powdered, his eyes were still misty, and he looked quite cute .
Hearing this, Xie Yan lowered his eyelashes, and asked him calmly, "Do you know how many palace servants and servants I usually have around me?"
This Yin Minglu really didn't know, and he didn't understand why Xie Yan asked such a question suddenly, but when the other party said that there were more than a hundred people serving the emperor's guard of honor, he still clicked his tongue a little.
Xie Yan smiled and said, are there more than twenty or thirty people around you
"It doesn't seem like much." Yin Minglu thought for a while and told the truth.
Xie Yan's smile widened a bit, and then he took it for granted, "I haven't established a concubine, you are the second most noble person in this harem after me. According to this standard, the number of people serving you around you is simply not More, and even less. And if there are fewer people serving, the face of the palace will be lowered.
Seems to make sense! Yin Minglu was holding a small bowl with a dazed face, a little convinced.
Although he was stunned for a while in private afterwards, he always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only let it go resentfully.
Late at night. Except for the patrolling guards, the entire palace was completely silent.
A patrol team of the forbidden army, holding a palace lantern with a weak candle, patrolled from the front door to the harem all the way. This is their range of activities on weekdays, and they did not dare to walk beyond the distance at will.
Today was the same as usual, except that the Chuxiu Palace was still brightly lit, there were no unusual or special circumstances. The Chuxiu Palace is the place where the beautiful women are stored. This group of newly promoted beautiful women all live there.
So even if they heard a woman screaming, the guards of the imperial army were startled suddenly, but seeing that the eunuch guarding the gate outside the palace gate did not come to ask for help, they hurried past as if they hadn't heard it, so as not to bump into anyone and mess up the rules .
There are many rooms in Chuxiu Palace, and the environment is naturally the best. But because there are too many people living in one room, chatting in twos and threes seems noisy and crowded.
The person who screamed was Qin Manman, because after she came back from the shower, she found that her mattress and sheets were completely soaked, which meant that she would not be able to sleep tonight. When she just took a shower, she found that the clothes she had put on the screen had been taken away in the middle of washing. When she suppressed her anger and found them under the stool, she found that the clothes had already become a pile of tattered rags You can't wear it at all. If it is barely hung on the body, half of the body will be exposed, which is no different from being naked.
Think of it as a bikini, she thought.
Feeling aggrieved, she clutched her chest and went back to the room. Several beautiful women looked at her coldly with wooden basins, as if they were admiring her embarrassed appearance, and said sarcastic words in their mouths: "Qin Xiuren didn't wear clothes after taking a bath. How shameless!"
"That's natural. Otherwise, how could you seduce the emperor in public? The emperor ignores her and wants to throw away her purse. Isn't Qin Xiuren just shameless?"
"It's a good thing that His Majesty doesn't like her, and she doesn't even look at what she looks like, but she still wants to attract His Majesty with that flawed embroidery, so beautiful!" Of course they knew that the embroidery was not full of loopholes, but extremely beautiful. Okay, but that's what makes you jealous. After all, His Majesty may be attracted by the exquisitely embroidered purse, and completely follow the vixen's way, and get favored one step faster. How can they not be afraid!
If Qin Manman knew clearly that the emperor was coming, but did not tell them the secret, but chose to dress up by himself and be beautiful alone, it would be annoyed by these beautiful girls. Then the other party will not give up, secretly throwing the purse, and trying to seduce His Majesty with a token of love, it is like pouring a ladle of oil into a hot pan, crackling, and completely blowing up the bad-tempered girls, I swear When I get back to the house, I want to show this foxy girl a good look!
A few beautiful girls talked to each other, and Qin Manman was so overwhelmed that he wished he could pounce on them and tear their mouths apart. But after all, he gritted his teeth and endured it because he was worried about their large number of people, and planned to sleep soundly, out of sight and out of mind.
But when she returned to her bed, she realized something was wrong as soon as she lay down on it. She reached out and touched it. The cold touch and a bucket in the corner clearly told her that her mattress was wet, and she should not sleep tonight. want to sleep.
She didn't know who did it, but the system could detect that it was the concubine of General Wang's family who ordered two other beautiful girls whose family background was not as good as hers to do it.
This means of exclusion is really cheap, but very effective. Qin Manman pinched the damp and musty quilt, and felt a rush of anger rushing into her heart, making her wish to tear up these women who were showing mocking faces at her!
Naturally, she was not the one to let it go, because she knew that it was General Wang's daughter and Wang Qiang did it, so she immediately picked up the bucket, went to the well to fill up a bucket of water, and poured it directly on Wang Qiang's mattress.
What she did was bold, sharp and precise, which turned everyone's sneering eyes into surprise. Qin Manman then breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved a lot. She thought to herself: You think I don't know who it is? What did you do? You make me unhappy, and I make you unhappy!
But unexpectedly, Wang Qiang, who usually acted arrogantly, burst into tears on the spot. She cried so much that she went to the aunt in charge, and said with a sob that she was bullied by Qin Manman.
At that time, Qin Manman was still standing among the crowd, with his hips crossed, carrying a bucket in a rude manner, completely stolen and stolen. The aunt in charge immediately raised her big copper bell eyes, and her wrinkled old face was also stained with a bit of inhumanity.
Qin Manman said indignantly: "Wang Qiang was the one who poured water on me first! I was just 'treating my body with my own way'!"
Wang Qiang burst into tears while crying, "You framed me! Which eye did you see? There are so many beautiful women present, and I have no grudge against you, why do you say that I did it? You have no evidence! Open your mouth to tarnish my reputation, and pour water on me without evidence, so that I can't sleep tonight, you are so vicious!"
She cried very pitifully, and the other beautiful girls surrounded her, patted her on the shoulder, comforted her softly, and helped to accuse Qin Manman: "Yes, yes, Qin Xiuren, what evidence do you have that Wang Xiuren did it? ?”
"That's right, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately! Wang Xiuren is usually so kind in his heart, how could he do such a thing to you? If you can't produce evidence, don't try to slander her out of thin air!" I know, but Qin Manman is their class enemy.
And what she said made sense. It wasn't like Qin Manman was seen by the steward on the spot. She had no evidence at all to say that Wang Qiang poured water on her.
Qin Manman was choked up by these words, and she realized that she had let out a bad breath, but Wang Qiang refused to admit it, and she really had no evidence that the other party did it, and on the surface, Wang Qiang and her had never had any ill feelings, except during the daytime. There is no motive for committing the crime. She couldn't say that the system told her, so facing Wang Qiang's backlash, Qin Manman could only suffer from being dumb.
She still wanted to fight for herself, but the steward's aunt had interrupted her coldly, "Enough!" The steward was old, she naturally understood the methods of these young women, and even faintly noticed that the outstanding beautiful girls were targeting Qin with the same hatred. Manman, she just sees through, but doesn't say anything.
With her shrewd eyes, she looked at Qin Xiunu, who had single eyelids, thick lips, no advantages except fair skin, mediocre appearance, and extremely unpopular, and then looked at Qin Xiunu, who had a face like peach blossoms, eyebrows like a crescent moon, and a face like the sunrise. Mingyan to the extreme, she speaks softly and softly, even crying is pitiful, and a very popular Wang Xiunu, who is more likely to stand out? Needless to say
After scrutinizing this time, the scales in the steward's aunt's heart were completely biased. Seeing Qin Xiunu, who was still trying to argue with Zhang Ya and claws, she slapped her in the face and punished the other party to kneel in the middle of the courtyard tonight and not be able to sleep.
Qin Manman was shocked!
