imperial psychologist

Chapter 155 Intentionally Approaching

"Qinglian." Bai Ling thought for a while, and seemed to think he had heard this name before, "A new maid?"

The man's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly replied, "Well, I'm—"

"In the future, don't mention the whereabouts of the noble concubine easily, and don't take the initiative to talk about it when no one asks you." Bo Ling glanced at her and smiled, "Forget it this time."

The maid named Qinglian's expression froze, and she suddenly panicked, "Ah, slave, slave is just..."

"If there is nothing else, you can step back first."

Bo Ling didn't say much to her, and then closed the door.

The curtains in the room were all drawn, and it was dark when the door was closed.She opened all the windows in the house, and thought for a while about the maid's name.

Maybe it's not surprising, it's quite normal for me to feel familiar with this name.After all, Granny Shu and Bao Yuan would often call the maids by their names directly when sending people in the courtyard, maybe they heard it at some point.

Bo Ling lit the lamp in the room, picked up the scripture book sent by Fourteen earlier, and flipped through it. After reading a few pages, he remembered that he seemed to have had no water since waking up today, but he never felt hungry. , this is really strange.

She leaned back on the chair with some sighs.

It seems that the pressure these days is really too much. If this continues, even if I have three meals on time, my stomach will definitely go wrong first.

Bai Ling stood up again and walked out of the east side hall, the door was pushed open, and all the palace people in the courtyard looked over.

After looking around, Bai Ling realized that he seemed to only remember Qinglian's name, so he smiled, and waved to the young court lady, motioning her to approach.

She lowered her head a little this time, and her expression became more reserved.

"Bosi Yao... do you have any orders?"

"I'm hungry." Bo Ling said softly, "Is there any snack in the palace, bring me some."

"Ah, the servants go to the imperial dining room and ask them to prepare a good copy for Si Yao."

"No need." Bo Ling waved his hand, "Just bring me some ready-made snacks. It's almost night now, and I'll have dinner with everyone."

"...Ah, good." Qinglian nodded again and again, she leaned the broom against the corner, wiped her clothes on her clothes a few times, and then went to ask the other servants about the dim sum.

It seems that she has been doing rough work in the yard all the time, and she doesn't know much about these things of serving the master.

But she still quickly brought over the snacks. Five pieces of peach blossom crisps the size of shell rouge were stacked together and placed in a blue transparent glass bowl.

There is a red mark like a petal on each piece of peach blossom cake, which is not only beautiful, but also seems to be a bit cold-it seems that the ice has cooled the temperature specially.

"It's hot today, and Bai Siyao ran outside for another day, eating some iced snacks, just to cool off the heat."

Qinglian smiled flatteringly, while looking at Bo Ling's face, but seeing Bo Ling just staring at the glass green plate she put on the table, neither smiling nor touching the dessert, she just felt that her heart was a mess again. Shen.

"Slave... Did the slave do something wrong again..."

Bo Ling glanced at her, and asked softly, "Where did you hear that, I was out running for a day."

Qinglian was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, she really didn't understand what she said was wrong, "...Bai Siyao is indeed not in the palace all day today."

"Then maybe I went to the imperial garden to pray for incense?"

A dazed look appeared on Qinglian's face, she didn't know how to answer, and even forgot to draw back the hand that was stretched out to protect the plate earlier.

After a long time, her throat finally moved, "... slave, slave didn't think so much."

The smile on Bai Ling's face faded, and her expression at the moment actually made people tremble with fear.

"Don't think so much, so don't talk so much." Bai Ling withdrew his gaze, "You go out."

Qinglian shivered at this moment, tightly hugging the wooden tray in her arms, "... yes."

The door was quickly opened from the outside, and the room returned to tranquility. Bai Ling took a bite of the peach blossom pastry—it was indeed like the lady-in-waiting said, the taste of this pastry was very special.The light white meringue on the outside tastes slightly sweet, and the filling in the middle seems to be glutinous rice kneaded with flower paste, which is fragrant and soft but not sticky to the teeth.

Was it a little too rude to her just now... This thought suddenly rose in Bai Ling's mind, but remembering that she had taken the initiative to stop him and inform the imperial concubine where she was just now, Bai Ling narrowed his eyes again.

This Qinglian...is she trying to curry favor with me?
……

"Just to use that glazed flat cup, Lin Po asked me for forty cents! My dear, I just want to borrow it for a while!"

After nightfall in the West Side Hall, there were only two maids arranging everyone's bedding, chatting while working.

Today is a sunny day, and Granny Shu ordered them to take out all their sleeping lives in the sun early in the morning.Everyone has their own duty at night, and the work of collecting quilts falls on the two who have just changed positions and are about to rest.

One of them is Qinglian.

"You are content, you spent a penny before and after, and Bai Siyao already remembers your name." The maid at the side laughed, "When did you see her call someone other than Grandma Shu and Baoyuan?"

Qinglian was startled, "Really?"

"I have nothing to lie to you." The man sat next to Qinglian, "Although this Bai Siyao is young, he is now a very popular figure. Do you know where she went today?"

"Don't dare to ask!" Qinglian said in a low voice, "You didn't see it, I said something more this afternoon, and Bai Siyao's face suddenly fell down..."

"Just say if you want to know." The palace man laughed even harder.

Qinglian's throat twitched, she couldn't help but glance outside, Qu Shi still hadn't come back, the palace people didn't dare to be lazy at this moment, they all yawned and were on duty outside.

She leaned down and asked softly, "Sister Yanzhi knows?"

"Of course I know," the man said with a smile, "A big thing happened outside today, otherwise, why would the empress faint, and why would she go to Xianfu Palace to look after the child as soon as she woke up?"

Qinglian's eyes widened, "...Is this also related to Bai Si Yao?"

The man hooked his fingers, beckoning Qinglian to come closer and listen, and then he talked about the important things about the Bai family's father and son's drug test today, and the imperial concubine's fainting in court, and then said, "I didn't lie to you. Instead of trying to please Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan, it is better to spend more time on this Bo Ling. She is new here just like us, and her foundation is shallow, so she definitely needs more help now."

"Really?" Qinglian scratched her head in confusion, "Why do I feel...she doesn't seem to like people getting close to her at all?"
