The beauty of the peasant girl of crossing

Chapter 12 Confused
Ting Lan's eyes were fixed on Xiao Tianmo, and her cheeks felt a little feverish.

Finally, Xiao Tianmo walked in front of her and extended his hand to her.

Ting Lan closed her eyes abruptly, waiting for Xiao Tianmo's next move.

It's just that Xiao Tianmo didn't behave like she imagined.

Instead, he reached out and took the jar in her hand, and placed the jar on the Eight Immortals table on one side.

"Didn't I tell you, you're not a servant in the house, you don't need to do this anymore."

Xiao Tianmo's voice was very calm, almost emotionless.

Seeing this, Ting Lan's excited heart gradually cooled down.

She suppressed the many careful thoughts in her heart, bowed her knees to Xiao Tianmo, and then said:

"Thank you eldest son, I don't do anything in the mansion now. In the jar is the sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup that I simmered for the eldest son. The eldest son has a taste. If it feels good, I will make it for the eldest son to eat in the future. "

Xiao Tianmo nodded and talked about the business, "I called you here to ask you, it will be the Queen's birthday in two days. Would you like to enter the palace with me?"

Ting Lan replied immediately, "I am willing."

Although she didn't understand what the eldest son would do with a humble maid to go to a banquet in a place like the palace where the nobles stayed.

But as long as the eldest son speaks, she will unconditionally agree.

Ting Lan's answer made Xiao Tianmo's calm face show a slight smile, "Okay, you go back and get ready, we will go together then."

After Ting Lan responded again, she raised her eyes to stare at Xiao Tianmo's figure, and saw that Xiao Tianmo had turned her back and walked back to the bed. She raised her hand to pick up the book she was reading, but she obviously didn't want to keep her. plan.

Could it be that the eldest son called her so late, just to ask such a question solemnly?

Although Ting Lan didn't know why, and was unwilling, she still hesitated to leave after wandering for a while.

***
The night surrounded the earth, and there was only a crescent moon hanging in the dark night sky, but at this moment, the palace was brightly lit and looked exceptionally brilliant.

The golden glazed tiles shone with dazzling light under the light. From a distance, the whole palace looked like a bright pearl.

Under a hazy yellow light, a gorgeous palace looks mysterious and quiet.

In the hall, I saw pearls and gold threads as the curtains, and the shark Baoluo as the tent. Amidst the smoke of the lit sandalwood, a graceful and luxurious middle-aged lady was sleeping on a broad bed of agarwood.

After a while, the lady on the bed moved and suddenly sat up, "Pearl!"

Sensing that the person on the bed was awake, the two palace maids who had been standing quietly immediately took a few steps and pulled the curtains forward, "Empress Empress, are you awake?"

It turned out that this was the Kunning Palace, and the lady on the bed was the woman with the highest status in this harem—the Empress Yu.

One of the palace maids helped Empress Yu sit up on the bed, and the other palace maid immediately placed a soft pillow embroidered with silver thread begonia flowers behind Empress Yu.

Unexpectedly, Empress Yu suddenly became anxious.

She lifted the quilt and shouted in a panic, "Pearl, Pearl is in danger! Quick! Quickly take me there..."

Seeing that Empress Yu was about to get out of bed barefoot, the two palace maids hurriedly stopped:

"Niangniang, no! Be careful not to hurt the phoenix body."

"Niangniang, the ground is cold, and let the servants put on your shoes for you..."

……

The hall was in a hustle and bustle, and an extravagant young man dressed in brocade clothes walked into the hall door.

The person who came was none other than the son of Empress Yu, the current prince Yan Zifeng.

After Yan Zifeng entered the hall, he looked around without leaving a trace, and asked, "What happened?"

Seeing that the prince had arrived, a palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Reporting to His Royal Highness, the empress just woke up from her sleep, as if she was caught in a nightmare."

Yan Zifeng nodded, looking at Empress Yu, who was in a moody mood now, waved her hand and asked the two palace maids to step down, "This prince has something important to discuss with the queen mother, you all go down first!"

The maids complied and hurriedly exited the door and closed the door.

The solemn and gorgeous hall soon fell silent.

Yan Zifeng walked to the bed in three steps and two steps, and grabbed the hand of Empress Yu that was randomly grasped in the air.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? It's a child, don't scare the child!"

Hearing Yan Zifeng's urgent call, Empress Yu's confused consciousness gradually became clear.

As soon as she stopped, she slowly turned her head to look at Yan Zifeng, her eyes suddenly wet with tears.

"Feng'er, my mother just dreamed of your eldest sister again. She dreamed of blood all over her, crying and asking me why I lost her?"

When Yan Zifeng heard the words, his mood became heavier.

The disappearance of the eldest sister, Yan Fengzhu, is the mother's heart disease.

Over the years, they have never stopped searching, and have been using various methods to investigate the whereabouts of the eldest sister.

But the eldest sister has been silent, and she can't find any trace.

He sometimes thinks that the eldest sister may have long since passed away. After all, the eldest sister was lost during the war without swords and eyes, and she was still so young at that time.

But he didn't dare to tell his mother this idea.

The queen mother blamed herself for not being optimistic about the eldest sister. She often looked at the eldest sister's old things, sobbing and dazed. She has been living in pain for so many years.

Especially in a dark night like this, there is rarely a time to sleep peacefully.

After returning to God, Empress Yu was still sad, "Pearl, I'm sorry for you being the queen, but it's not good for the queen..."

Yan Zifeng frowned slightly and said comfortably: "Mother, this is just a nightmare, eldest sister Jiren has her own celestial appearance and will be fine.

You have to take care of your health, so that when the elder sister comes back, she will rely on you when she comes back! "

Empress Yu nodded. Although her eyes were red and swollen, she was still energized. She looked up at Yan Zifeng and replied:
"Feng'er is right. If there is no mother to protect her, how can Pearl gain a firm foothold in this cannibalistic harem?"

Seeing that Queen Yu finally stopped crying, Yan Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the flickering candlelight, he couldn't help thinking.

He also hoped that his eldest sister, Yan Fengzhu, was still alive, and that he could have one more relative in this cold palace.

And if someone can help him take care of his mother, who is in a poor state of mind, then he can fight with King Xian and others without any distractions.

……

At noon the next day, in the most lively Juxian Tower in the capital.

A handsome young student in a blue cloth robe is telling a book in the lobby.

She moved her red lips skillfully, chewed her white teeth lightly, and was full of emotion on the storytelling table. She also told the story vividly, which made people feel like they were there, and couldn't help but applaud.

People flow in and out in the lobby, and the business is very busy. The shop assistant is busy serving tea and ordering food for the guests, and is very busy.

A rich man with a fat head and big ears, a folding fan in his hand, and a self-proclaimed romantic, stretched out his hand and grabbed the busy shop assistant, "Huh? When did the storytellers change here?"

The shop assistant smiled and replied:

"Are you talking about Mr. Shen? He also started speaking here at the beginning of this month. Even though he looks young, the stories he tells are very exciting. Whether it's the surrounding people or businessmen, they all love to hear him tell stories. Woolen cloth!"
