Chapter 40 Worship the high and step down on the hearts of the little people

In the following days, the emperor was not lucky with the new palace concubines one by one, as Ling Xiao originally expected. In fact, as rumored, the emperor of this dynasty was dedicated to the government and did not spend much time in the harem. And in this little time, it still accounts for the majority of several concubines, and the rest, only a few new little masters have been lucky.

Ling Xiao's worry seemed a little superfluous. Maybe the emperor didn't think of her at all. Recently, Mu Junyao is in the limelight. Many people have not yet seen what the emperor looks like. When she is looking forward to the arrival of the emperor, she has been lucky for the second time.

And Luoshang's top spot was also completely suppressed. In the infinite scenery of Yao's concubine, he fell like autumn leaves on the lake and gradually sank to the bottom of the water. She and the noble concubine are very close, which has long been tacit in the eyes of others, but the noble concubine does not mean to support her, but now she has no choice. I could only watch the noble concubine hold Mu Junyao higher and higher, and she was ridiculed.

As Mu Junyao said, Luo Chang seemed to be smart. She didn't have anything good with the noble concubine, and every time she saw the medicine concubine, she never gave her a good look. Yes, the medicine concubine thought she looked up to her, so she helped her. She was waiting for her to be grateful, but she didn't expect to help a white-eyed wolf and defect to the enemy's flag in front of her. How could she not be annoyed?

However, for Ling Xiao and Lin Xuanyu, these have little to do with them and have little impact on whom the emperor is lucky, who is favored, and who rises and falls. Anyway, no matter who it is, it's not the same. As always, in this complicated harem, they prayed for their own peace in the struggle of many women.

Although as Ling Xiao expected at the beginning, they have already gone deep into the game, and the so-called calm is probably a luxury. It's just that when some things have not really come to face, there is always a hope in my heart. Even if it's self-deception, a moment of peace is precious.

For women in the palace, the consequences of unfavorable are quite terrible, whether it is glory and wealth or family power, or the loneliness of status and spirit in the palace, so they are afraid that they will desperately fight for it, or even to die.

However, for Ling Xiao and Lin Xuanyu, the direct consequence of being unfavored is that the life is detained, the objects are missing, and the goods are broken and the people who call the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair it are always excused...

For example, now, it's a hot summer. When the spoiled women have enough ice to cool down, they can only be hot. Although I don't care much about these material treatment issues, it's still not easy.

Lin Xuanyu is better. The ice game palace is low, and it is full of pine. There is a large forest behind it. What's more, the ice concubine has prepared a lot of windmills and large jars full of ice in the palace to reduce the heat. Naturally, even the Xixi Hall is stained with some light.

"Shunter, you have suffered. The slave of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, looking at us without pets, is so bold. Aren't they afraid that the Queen knows to punish them?" Lin Xuanyu came to Qiluan Hall to visit. After a while, sweat came out of his forehead, which was quite uneven.

Qingwu came with well water, rubbed a clean towel for Ling Xiao and Lin Xuanyu, and said, "This well water has just been drawn from the courtyard. It's cool. The two little masters use it to wipe it. It's more comfortable to think."

Ling Xiao took a towel and put it on his forehead. Sure enough, a feeling of coldness immediately came. His originally hot and drowsy brain was much clearer. He took it off for a while and drank a cup of herbal tea. Then Lin Xuanyu said, "What are they afraid of? They can't take care of everyone. Naturally, they can only First of all, the high-ranking lady came. Can the queen still fight for us?

In fact, it was not so sad for Ling Xiao. In previous years, there was no ice available. Needless to say, she and her mother's small yard. Even later, she listened to her husband's lecture with Yuechan in Lingfu. Yuechan was surrounded by a maid who hit the fan, and there was iced watermelon and iced sour plum soup on the table, and she didn't even have a sweat towel. Yes, it's all here.

However, Phoenix is a watery town, and the rivers in the city are dense. Compared with the dry capital, the climate is naturally better.

"I heard that the queen of this dynasty is kind-hearted. If she knows, she may come up for us." Lin Xuanyu glanced at the direction of Zhaoyang Palace and expected to say.

Ling Xiao refuted, "Sister, don't worry about Xiaoer. Let's just want to be calm. The more things you have, the more unsafe it will be. Even if the queen is willing to stand up for us, won't there be a next time? It's hard for the kid to deal with. At that time, the harem will be restless. I'm afraid it's our fault.

At this time, Zhu Xiang also brought a basin of water in, put it down, and said to Ling Xiao, "Actually, the young lady doesn't know. If the Empress really stood up for us, I'm afraid it would be bad. I just feel sorry for you."

"Sister." Ling Xiao smiled warmly, "It's lucky to have you."

In just a few words, it is full of sisterhood. I was speechless for a moment.

"I'm really pissed off. Sooner or later, those dogs and slaves will let them kneel respectfully at the feet of the little master, so that they also know what the master is." At this time, the voice of the little maid came from the window.

Ling Xiao recognized that it was Zhu Er's voice. Seeing that Qingwu's face had changed, he was about to go out. He waved his hand to stop him and said, "Qingwu."

Qingwu frowned and stood aside.

I only heard the outside continue to say, "You, how many times do you know how to restrain, and sooner or later you will cause trouble for the little master." It's Erlan, with both reproach and helplessness.

"Auntie, I just don't like them. It's just that I usually lack a lot of things. I can bear it without ice, but even the monthly silver will be deducted, so that people can't live?" Zhu Er seemed to put down something in her hand heavily.

Er Lan sighed and aggravated his tone and said, "That's just to put up with it. Thanks to the absence of General Manager Wang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs today, otherwise what do you think it's good for us to offend them easily?"

"Auntie..." Zhu'er called an aggrievedly.

"I'll embroider a purse and send it to you some other day." The voice gradually lowered, and about the two of them walked away. "Also, don't bow your face later, and be careful not to show it in front of the little master, otherwise the little master will be sad if he knows it."

Ling Xiao pushed a little blue screen window sideways. Sure enough, he saw Erlan and Zhu Er walking elsewhere, and there was a small table with broken legs on the ground.

"It's okay, I still have some loyalty here." Ling Xiao smiled and covered the floating trace of sourness. "Sister, how have you been recently?"

Lin Xuanyu shook the ball fan in his hand and glanced at Zhu Xiang and said, "What's wrong? At present, this girl is the only girl who can really trust around her."

When Zhu Xiang heard this, he was not too excited, but looked at Lin Xuanyu with a smile and said, "Miss, we grew up together."

"Miss, so is the maidservant. No matter what happens to the young lady in the future, I will follow the young lady all my life and will never turn my back on her back." Hearing this, Qingwu also hurriedly showed his heart and stared at Ling Xiao with burning eyes. "Although I haven't served the young lady for a long time, I don't have the same friendship as Zhu Xiang and Xuan, I know what it is to repay kindness. The young lady treats me well, and I remember it in my heart."

Ling Xiao was very envious of Zhu Xiang beside Lin Xuanyu. From the time she entered Beijing, she could see that the relationship between the master and servant did not have to be close to each other. Unfortunately, she... was even more chilled to think of the sisters saved before leaving home.

But now when she sees the appearance of Qingwu, the sincerity and sincerity in her eyes make her feel a trace of guilt. Does she no longer trust people after a betrayal? This is unfair to others.

"Good girl, your lady knows how good you are." Lin Xuanyu said with a smile.

"Yes, this girl Qingwu is very good. I remember it all." Ling Xiao smiled and teased, "I was stupid when I first started with you. How long has it been? I don't know how much I can do more than before. If she hadn't suppressed it with Er Lan, the eunuchs in the palace would have turned upside down."

"Miss!" Qingwu blushed with shame and stamped his feet and said angrily, "I'm not stupid!"

With that, several people laughed.

After Lin Xuanyu left, Ling Xiao called Erlan in.

"Elan, sit down." Ling Xiao smiled faintly.

"I dare not." Er Lan was slightly stunned and lowered his head.

Ling Xiao is not reluctant. Palace people like them have been in the palace for a long time. They are extremely cautious and ask casually, "I don't know where Erlan is from? Do you still have family?

"The maidservant was originally from Shencheng, and his parents were no longer there. At the age of five, he fled to the capital with his uncle. Because of the real difficulties at home, he entered the palace." Erlan answered respectfully and rigidly. When he mentioned those past events, his facial expression had not changed much, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him.

They are all miserable people. Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and said, and then looked up, "Then do you blame them?"

Who are you complaining about? The parents who left themselves alone in the world to suffer, or the uncle who sent himself to the palace?

Erlan was silent for a moment and replied, "Don't complain. This is life. What's more, the maidservant is doing well now."

"In the future, unnecessary expenses can be saved. Try to light candlelight as little as possible in the evening. There is no need to make those snacks in the small kitchen. Anyway, the weather is hot and there is no appetite." Ling Xiao suddenly changed the topic.

"Little Lord..."

"It's okay. Go down." Ling Xiao waved his hand and didn't forget to add, "Don't blame Zhu Er. Just pick it up."

"Yes." Erlan nodded and said as if comforting, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, followed by the summer solstice. At that time, the emperor will be rewarded, and it will be better."
