Chapter 43

Qingyan Palace

There are few begonias left, and several snow chrysanthemums at the corridor. The wind of late autumn swept the last maple leaves on the tree tops, and the withered and yellow maple leaves fell to the ground.

The three palace maids sweeping the yard looked at the little eunuch who came in and saw that he was wearing the low eunuch clothes of the imperial study. With a smile on his face, they welcomed him.

The imperial study is the study of the emperor. It is basically there to review memorials and receive dignitaries. Those who can work in the imperial study are low-level eunuchs who have more rights than the big maids in various palaces. Naturally, they can't offend.

Xiaodezi's face was yellow and skinny, and his broad eunuch clothes could not hide the ribs under him. He smiled and looked at one of the palace maids and asked, "what's the mood of the imperial concubine today?"

If the imperial concubine and empress are in a good mood, he will go in and say more good words, and the benefits will not be less. If he's in a bad mood, he'll find a way to make people happy. The benefits still have to be.

Three maids, look at me and I'll look at you. Hum, ah, no one spoke for a long time. Xiaode's face was lost, and her eyes were cold. "Look down on miscellaneous families?"

"Er, er... Ah..." the three maids hummed for a while, but no one spoke. Xiaodezi was angry for a moment, raised his hand and hit a palace maid in front of him, "bitch, do you dare not speak up when asked by a miscellaneous family."

"Ah, ah... Er, er..." the maid covered her cheeks and looked at xiaodezi with tears. She stretched out her hand and pointed to her mouth and shook her head.

Xiaodezi is not stupid. They are all mute. It's not that I didn't listen to manager Li's education before. They said that they would send Princess Leng as a mute if they were not sensible. At that time, manager Li was only used to frighten himself. Now I'm really afraid to see a real person. Fortunately, I'm sensible.

Xiaodezi looked around in the yard again. Her eyes fell on a little maid who was watering flowers. She waved to the maid. The maid also knew the identity of the person. She wiped the water stains on her hands, trotted to xiaodezi and flattered her: "father-in-law, you can tell me if you have anything to do."

"Today, how are you feeling?" xiaodezi glanced at her and said.

"My mother is playing chess with the No. 1 martial arts scholar. Her chess skills are not very good. It is estimated that she will not be in a good mood. Father-in-law will go later!"

Xiaodezi beat his eyes and thought about it. He threw a small silver to the little maid in waiting, and asked, "what's the matter with the three maidens?"

The little maid put the silver into her arms and said in a low voice, "the palace maid talked about the fate of the master." then she went back to water the flowers.

Xiaodezi looked again at the three mute palace maidservants just now, and suddenly regretted running this trip. He thought that he must pay attention to his mother's mood later.

Just arrived at the door, there was a crisp sound of "Yuanlang".

Xiaodezi stepped back three steps, hid behind the door, poked out half his head to see the situation inside. He saw that the ground was full of chess pieces, and the checkerboard flying room was falling in front of the cabinet not far from the door. Xiaodezi breathed and dared not breathe. He watched the martial champion squat on the ground to pick up chess pieces. After picking up chess pieces, he came to him again.

Leng Renbo bent down to pick up the chessboard, stretched out his hand and wiped it lovingly. He caught a glimpse of xiaodezi hiding at the door. He was stunned. He walked over and pulled him in, dragged him to his cold face and said, "little aunt, I caught this guy eavesdropping outside the door. See what to do."

Leng Qingyan was angry and glanced at xiaodezi coldly. "If you dare to eavesdrop in this palace, you must be very bold and fat. Just give it to the Ministry of punishment."

As soon as xiaodezi heard that he was going to hand himself over to the punishment department, he was frightened and knelt on the ground. "The imperial concubine and empress clearly saw that the servant was only a small eunuch who came here to deliver a message, not a spy." with a runny nose and tears, he took out his waist token.

"It's the man in the imperial study. Say it! What's the matter?" Leng Qingyan looked at him and asked.

Xiaodezi took out a yarn pocket from his arms. "Seeing that the Mid Autumn Festival is coming, your majesty asked the queen to prepare some osmanthus balls for you. The queen was busy and ordered her slave to send osmanthus to her mother."

Leng Qingyan's face was cold again. The emperor asked the queen to send sweet scented osmanthus Yuanzi, but the queen asked people to send sweet scented osmanthus. She really didn't look at her. Hum!

"Take away your things, bamboo branch, and orchid branch. You go inside and get a jade for your father-in-law. Fortunately, your father-in-law picked a piece better all the way." Leng Qingyan didn't look at the gauze pocket, opened the lid of the teacup, drank a cup of tea, and ordered the little maid in waiting to say.

The bamboo branch put away the yarn pocket, and the LAN branch threw a small jade to xiaodezi. Xiaodezi was about to retreat, but Leng Qingyan stopped him again.

"Father-in-law, walk more to the palace in the future, and the palace will remember you."

"Slave, remember!" xiaodezi promised and ran away quickly.

Leng Renbo looked at Leng Qingyan and asked, "my little aunt is so generous to reward slaves?" the jade is enough for ordinary people to eat for a year.

"It's just an ordinary jade. Your Majesty gave it a lot last time. It's useless to keep it. It's better to buy people's hearts." Leng Qingyan smiled disapprovingly.

Leng Renbo finally knows why his father is so eager to curry favor with his little aunt. Everyone is jealous of the upstart's posture! Your majesty is really kind to your little aunt. The Treasury is running out of money. His reward is too extravagant!

"Bo'er, have dinner with me today!" Leng Qingyan said.

Leng Renbo nodded and put away the chessboard as usual.

"Clove, go down and order people to set meals!" Leng Qingyan looked at clove.

Clove took orders.

After a while, four or five little maids came up to set up meals. The meals were mainly meat and there were almost no dishes. Leng Renbo ate in Qingyan palace for the first time. He stared at the delicacies on the table and smoked from the corners of his mouth. She really deserves to be your Majesty's favorite Leng Guifei.

"Little aunt, your majesty came here at noon?" Leng Renbo asked when he saw the maid add a pair of chopsticks.

"Your Majesty is busy. How could you expect me to come here? The girl Xiyue is sleeping in the side hall! I thought it would be time to wake up and let people put more chopsticks." Leng Qingyan smiled.

Xiyue!

The smile on Leng Renbo's face disappeared in an instant, "little aunt, if my nephew still has something to do at home, he won't stay here."

"You won't be afraid to see Xiyue!" Leng Qingyan raised his eyebrow.

"Where? It's really something at home. I'd better go back first..." Leng Renbo got up and left the table. As soon as he took a step, he saw Xi Yue coming in, and the girl stared at him.

Leng Renbo wanted to avoid her, but on second thought, she must think that she would be more arrogant if she was afraid of her.

Leng Renbo returned to his position. "Little aunt, this dish is good." he bowed his head and pulled the rice.

Xi Yue stared at Leng Renbo. If she knew he was there, she wouldn't come. She sat down angrily.

Leng Qingyan smiled and looked at the pair of enemies. They all looked like angry little couples. Poking and poking should come true.

"Xiyue, your cousin just entered the palace some time ago. He doesn't know much about the local customs in Beijing. Take time to understand with him!" Leng Qingyan looked at Xiyue and said.
