Song Dynasty female artist

Qin Lian followed Su Yixin to the palace to investigate, thinking she could sneak in and take a look.

Looking at this formation now, with the two of them's cultivation, even with the concealment talisman, it would be impossible for them to enter quietly.

The person who arranged this formation was an expert, at least one with peak Mahayana cultivation.

This world is truly a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

Qinlian asked: "What should we do now?"

"We can't get in, but there are always people coming out, and when people come out we can get in."

"Yes."

Qin Lian happily waited with Su Yixin at the side door of the palace. It was early in the morning. Most of the servants on the side of the palace were either servants of the palace or going out to buy necessities for the nobles in the palace. At this time, the servants were coming in and out. Su Yixin saw the right opportunity and knocked her unconscious. The two female maids, Qin Lian and Qin Lian transformed into women, searched their memories and entered Prince Yan's palace smoothly.

One of these two maids is Princess Yan’s first-class maid named Xinlan. Princess Yan has always loved to eat hibiscus cakes from Tianjia Shop. Because there are only a fixed amount of ten hibiscus cakes every day, Xinlan has to go early to buy it. .

The other is Xiyun, who is the most favored concubine of Prince Yan. Gao Concubine likes to eat cheese cakes from Tianjia Shop. The hibiscus cake and cheese cakes have been improved and are softer, fresher and sweeter, so you need to queue up early.

Xinlan and Xiyun are the two most beloved maids in the palace's backyard, so there is naturally a fierce competition.

Not to be outdone, the two went out almost at the same time and bought the pastries back at the same time.

So when Su Yixin and Qin Lian entered the mansion dressed as Xinlan and Xiyun respectively, no one suspected anything. When they arrived in the backyard, Princess Yan and Concubine Gao also had no suspicion.

Su Yixin transformed into Xinlan, and Princess Yan was in a good mood after eating the hibiscus cake. She took Xinlan and Mama Lin, who had been with Princess Yan for many years, for a walk in the backyard.

Xinlan is a man of few words, which is why Su Yixin transformed into Xinlan and Qinlian transformed into Xiyun.

Princess Yan was old and felt tired after walking for a quarter of an hour. She sat down to rest in an octagonal pavilion. Princess Yan often came to this pavilion. It was equipped with heavy curtains and a brazier, and her whole body was warm while sitting there.

"Xinlan" boiled water and made tea as usual. After all, it was not the real Xinlan. The method was very different from before, and Mother Lin noticed it.

Su Yixin did not answer Mother Lin's words, but directly said to Princess Yan: "This is a new thing for me to learn. Princess Yan, try it."

Princess Yan picked up the tea cup, first put it under her nose and smelled it, then took a sip, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

When Princess Yan came here, she was also a little thirsty.

After finishing one cup and adding another cup, he felt that the more he drank, the better it tasted: "Xinlan, your tea-making skills have improved. I like it very much, and I will reward you."

"Xinlan" knelt down to thank Princess Yan.

Su Yixin gathered from Xinlan's memories that she and Mother Lin were not at odds with each other. Mother Lin was Princess Yan's confidant, and so was Xinlan. The two of them had a competitive relationship and were not aligned.

On weekdays, Xinlan's attitude towards Mother Lin was also indifferent.

Princess Yan is very aware of this situation.

She didn't take it seriously with the "overt and covert fighting" between the two of them. In her opinion, the servant did not vent his anger through the same nose, and it only had benefits and no harm to her master.

After drinking tea, Princess Yan was in a good mood and talked about her grandson going to Peng Changshi's home to propose marriage in the future.

Chang Shi was an official of the prince, and he and Sima were both fourth-rank officials. He managed all the officials in the prince's palace and was King Yan's right-hand man. King Yan's direct grandson could have married a more noble daughter in the capital, but King Yan He never made this request to the officials, but directly decided to marry Peng Changshi's youngest daughter.

Nothing could be heard from Princess Yan's words.

In the evening, Prince Yan returned to the palace and had dinner with Princess Yan. Su Yixin saw Prince Yan, whom she had met several times. These encounters were all seen when Prince Yan returned to Beijing to attend the palace banquet. She didn't even say hello. I have met several times, the last time I met was two years ago. Princess Yan has not changed much in the past two years, but Prince Yan has a lot more gray hair.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese New Year is in a few days, so it's time for you to take a rest."

After King Yan had finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. The servant who served him brought some tea to rinse his mouth. After rinsing his mouth, King Yan said: "There has been no news about Jia Xian since he went to Guangdong and Guangxi. I am worried."

"With Jia Xian, there are few people in the government who can match him, so he will be fine."

Princess Yan did not ask Jia Xian what he was doing in Guangdong and Guangxi. She rarely interfered with Prince Yan's affairs and only needed to take care of the inner house.

King Yan sighed: "I hope so."

Then he said: "I have something to do later, so I won't go to your yard tonight. The princess will go to bed early."

Su Yixin stood beside Princess Yan. Seeing that Princess Yan didn't look displeased at all, she smiled and nodded, then got up and escorted Prince Yan out of the flower hall.

Standing next to Su Yixin was Xin Meng. When Prince Yan walked out of the flower hall, he said, "The prince will definitely go to Concubine Gao to rest again soon."

Mother Lin glared at Xinmeng: "You are the only smart one, keep your mouth shut."

Xinmeng bit her lower lip and said dullly: "I know!"

I was unconvinced.

She was right. Every time the prince said he had to go to the study to do some work, he always went to Concubine Gao to rest at night and rarely disturbed the princess.

Xinmeng is nineteen years old and has been working as an errand for the princess for five years. In these five years, Xinmeng has not learned to shut up. It is Xinmeng who talks sweetly and Princess Yan is also very generous to her servants.

Princess Yan went to the backyard, and on the way she told Mother Lin to go to the kitchen in half an hour to give Prince Yan a bowl of ginseng soup.

"Xinlan" snatched this job away.

Xinlan just likes to steal Mother Lin's job. Princess Yan and Mother Lin have no doubts. In the past, Mother Lin would never give in, but tonight for some reason, Mother Lin just looked at Su Yixin displeased and didn't say anything else. .

"Okay, you can go later."

Half an hour later, Su Yixin took the ginseng soup from the kitchen to the study.

Seeing that she was the maid next to the princess, the guards did not stop her. Xinlan easily came to the palace study: "Your Majesty, the princess asked the slave to bring you the ginseng soup. The princess asked the slave to watch the prince drink it, so as not to waste her money. A heartfelt thought."

Zhao Zongxing looked at the maid in front of him in surprise.

Because the princess used to ask Mother Lin to deliver ginseng soup, and after delivering it, she would stand aside silently and never say a word.

What happened today.

Zhao Zongxing thought about it and thought it might be because his grandson was getting engaged in the future.

He didn't say much, and drank ginseng soup while reading the letter. By coincidence, Qin Lian, who transformed into Xiyun, also came with ginseng soup.

Su Yixin: "..."

She suppressed her smile and listened to "Xiyun" say: "Your Majesty, the concubine asked your servant to bring you ginseng soup. She said that your Majesty has been working hard these days and needs to take a good supplement."

The atmosphere in the room was very subtle.
