Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 26

Although the Yangxin Pavilion is adjacent to the Cining Palace, it is separated by a tall palace wall and bounded by the Huayang Gate. It belongs to the Changchun Palace in the outer city and is outside the jurisdiction of the inner court.

Empress Dowager Jiang's phoenix chariot was in front of her, and the palace people were mighty and solemn.When the queen mother travels, it is natural that she is not weaker than the concubines in the harem, and has an inviolable dignity.And Su Yan's Huajin walking chariot was accompanied by Lan Ruo and Sang Yu, walking in the middle.

The eldest prince was hugged by the mother, and followed closely behind the empress dowager's chariot, Su Yan only caught a glimpse of it after looking around.

Outside the Huayang Gate, there are high hills and blue waves, and the Yangxin Pavilion is located on the North Mountain. Su Yan is no stranger to this place. She looked up and saw that the mountain gate on the high slope was still old and unrepaired, just like the one she had when she first entered the palace. appearance.

"The empress dowager got off the sedan chair, Xuan Su Wanyi went over." He Lu bowed her body and saluted, Su Yan dressed up slightly, Lan Ruo helped her up, and she didn't show any signs of impatience.

A cast copper plaque hangs above the mountain gate. The red ebony is old, and the Yangxin Pavilion has a simple and solemn atmosphere everywhere. The autumn grass is green everywhere, and the mountain wind is blowing, and the veins are sad.

Empress Dowager Jiang stood under the mountain gate, dressed in the Ziluo Palace, looking back slowly, a pair of quiet eyes were fixed on Su Yan who came from a distance.

There are a lot of rumors in the harem. She has always disliked concubines who are seductive and seductive, and she has already grown bored in her heart. Teaching the Su family to learn Buddhism is also deliberately keeping them away from the inner court to share the emperor's grace.

But the woman in front of her is wearing a plain white silk flower diamond skirt, which is the simplest style, with only a blue-patterned jade plum on her belt to show her identity.The jade sash of the same color tied up her long hair, her natural color was pure and not as gaudy as imagined.

"Concubine Su, I have met the empress dowager, my empress Wanan." Su Yan's words were a little immature, and the empress dowager Jiang saw that the woman in front of her was already charming without makeup, she couldn't help being slightly startled, faintly worried for the emperor .

"Teach you to serve Ai's family, but you feel wronged because you can't meet the emperor?" Empress Dowager Jiang asked immediately.

"Back to the empress dowager, if the concubine says that he would rather serve the empress dowager than get close to your majesty, then it must be against his will." Su Yan didn't look up, and when she heard that the empress dowager Jiang's eyes turned, Su Yan continued, "But the concubine Knowing that I am arrogant and impetuous by nature, I am incompatible with this imperial palace, why not take this opportunity to calm down and hone my mind, it will be worth the empress dowager's painstaking teaching."

"Let's get back down, let's go in with Ai's house." Empress Dowager Jiang went straight into the main hall, where the palace people had already made arrangements, Su Yan looked around strangely, and followed Empress Dowager Jiang obediently, silently.

Empress Dowager Jiang has a cold temper and doesn't like people who talk too much, so she was interested in her family at first, but now she prefers the calm Concubine Jing to Concubine Yi.

Seeing that although Su Yan was young, she was generally not noisy, she felt relieved, and sat down on the high couch, "Go and make a cup of tea for Ai's family first."

Su Yan responded, paused for a moment, then looked back and asked softly, "I don't know where the teahouse is..."

Empress Dowager Jiang nodded, and Na Helu then came down and said, "Your maidservant will take Su Xiaozhu there."

Walking outside the door, Su Yan said, "I've just come to serve the Empress Dowager, and I can't figure out my temper in many places. I hope my aunt will let me know."

"Since the little master said so, he really meant it. The empress dowager chanted sutras in the Buddhist hall for three hours every day. The little master needed to accompany him to serve the incense and pray together. In the afternoon, he went to the side hall. Copying Buddhist scriptures, and finally, visiting the First Prince after dinner."

Immediately, a palace maid brought tea, Su Yan took it casually, but suddenly the faint smell of osmanthus wine wafted from the maid, so thin that it was hard to recognize.

Su Yan lowered her head again, but when she saw a few green goji berries soaked in the tea, she couldn't help but be moved. The Empress Dowager Jiang is very particular about her diet, and she never uses goji berries and other ingredients that make her angry. Jin, how could he not know?

The subtle clues are enough to make Su Yan alert, maybe someone has already arranged for her.

She raised her head calmly, the nanny in front of her was only in her early twenties, her status was not low, she thought she had some status.

She also had a cold expression towards Su Yan, obviously not paying attention to her, but Su Yan saw that she was quite tall, so she got more and more flustered to bring the tea, but unexpectedly her hands trembled, and the cup of tea was empty It splashed on Na Sujin's body, and poured hot water directly along her neckline, making her scream.

"Hey, what should I do!" Su Yan's face wrinkled, and with Sujin's tricks, she might be a bit shallow.

No matter how new Su Yan entered the palace, she was the master after all, so Su Jin had no choice but to swallow her words, grabbed the collar and went to change clothes.

He Lu hurriedly went forward to wipe it for Su Yan, but Su Yan said innocently, "It's all my recklessness, I'll go to the waiter myself."

Empress Dowager Jiang went to the inner hall to offer three pillars of high incense first, then raised her eyes to He Lu and asked, "Then why has the Su family been gone for so long?"

He Lu replied, "Su Wanyi has personally gone to make tea for you."

Empress Dowager Jiang clasped her hands together, read the scriptures of the meeting, and after a while, she saw Su Yan carrying the sapphire case into the hall in a proper manner, "The empress dowager, please have some tea."

Looking down, I saw two chrysanthemums floating in the purple sand cup, paired with freshly picked honeysuckle and rehmannia glutinosa, and served with health treasures. Queen Mother Jiang slightly moved her eyelids, took it and sipped it. With the help of Bingtang, she looked at Su Yan who was standing there, and finally praised him slightly, "You are a caring person, and the tea art is very good, so I will leave all the tea making skills of Aijia to you."

Su Yan was familiar with Queen Mother Jiang's taste, so she happily responded, "As long as you like it, I can make different tricks every day, and I'm sure you will be satisfied."

Seeing her happy face, Empress Dowager Jiang lowered her face and said, "Don't forget that you are here to cultivate, and you have devoted all your attention to other things! It can be seen that serving the emperor on weekdays is all about being careful."

By saying this, he wanted to establish the empress dowager's prestige and give her a warning, but Su Yan muttered in a low voice, "This concubine has only seen His Majesty a few times in total, so why do I have any intentions..."

Although her voice was low, Empress Dowager Jiang listened to all of them, "Then you mean that if you get favored by the emperor in the future, you will be able to use your mind?"

Su Yan was aggrieved, but she didn't dare to refute, she just lowered her head and stared at the hem of her skirt, Empress Dowager Jiang waved her hand, "Today is your first time to visit the Buddha, and you need to kneel and chant sutras outside the Buddhist hall, and I will let you in after the Aijia finished praying. "

He Lu listened quietly, and nodded to Su Yan, who then bowed her body and said, "I've made a note, let's go."

The Buddha Hall is located in the southeast of the main hall of Yangxin Hall, in a secluded location, built next to the hills, and adjacent to the Baiping Hall of the bedroom. When passing by the west gate of the Baiping Hall, you can hear the cry of a baby from a distance. The familiar voice entered her ears, and pierced into her heart.

Her footsteps were disobedient, and she stopped abruptly in front of the palace gate. She tried her best to control her emotions, even when facing Duan Zhaoling, she never lost control like this.

Seeing her sad expression, Sang Yu comforted her, "All the concubines who attend her are like this, so don't worry too much about it, my lord."

Su Yan regained her composure, and saw two maidservants hurriedly approaching.

"The eldest prince has been crying all day, except when he saw His Majesty, he stopped for a while, and now he is making trouble again, and he can't even feed him milk soup. What should we do!"

"In the past, when Concubine Rong was still there, the First Prince was very well-behaved and almost never cried."

"How can the biological mother compare? It's really pitiful to say..."

Lan Ruo saw that Su Yan's face was getting worse, and asked nervously, "Miss is not feeling well, this servant will go report to the Queen Mother."

Su Yan pulled her away, and turned her head with a bright smile again, "It's just that the sun is tired, let's go quickly."

The sun rose from the east to the mid-heaven, and then set in the west. It was shining on the three people kneeling on the futons in front of the Buddhist hall. An hour passed, but Empress Dowager Jiang had no order, so she had to continue kneeling.

Her belly was rumbling and her mouth was dry, cold sweat broke out on Su Yan's smooth forehead. She had just walked through the gate of hell with this body, and she was really not strong. Gradually collapsed, the autumn sun was scorching, she squinted her eyes and looked up, suddenly felt black in front of her eyes.

"Miss, how long are we going to kneel? Can you hold on?" Lan Ruo was so thirsty that she had no confidence to speak. Su Yan turned her head, her wet hair stuck to her cheeks, and her plump lips slightly Pale, "We have been kneeling for so long, if we get up now, it will be in vain..."

A while later, at lunch time, Na Sujin walked through the Buddhist hall with the food, stood up, and looked in Su Yan's direction, with a hint of gloating in her eyes, she asked knowingly, "Why doesn't Su Wanyi go to eat? The servant will bring some for you?"

Lan Ruo gave her a sideways glance, and secretly spat in her heart, it's really a bullshit thing.

Su Yan pursed her lips and smiled, even though she was weak, she was charming, "Then you can bring some for me, remember clearly, I want simmered bird's nest porridge, steamed assorted crispy cheese, roasted deer breast A plate, prepare it immediately."

Hearing what she said, Sang Yu secretly understood it, and couldn't help smiling. That Sujin was originally a way to provoke the general, but unexpectedly, the anti-religious general made an army, and now he couldn't lose face, so he said, "The Empress Dowager has an order to say that Su Wanyi knelt down. You can eat when you're done."

Su Yan licked her lips lightly, and said, "The Empress Dowager only taught me to eat after kneeling, but she didn't say that the kitchen should not be prepared. I kneel down to my Buddha, and you go prepare your lunch. What does it matter?"

That Sujin was bored, she wanted to go down unconvinced, Su Yan called her back again, and asked the two people beside her, "What do you two eat?"

Lan Ruo replied, "Whatever the lady orders, the servants will eat."

Su Yan stretched out her finger and gestured, "Just add three servings to the meal just now."

Su Jin held the hand holding the plate tightly, and Su Yan looked at her innocently, even if she was angry, she couldn't help it, so she left angrily.

Another half an hour passed, and Su Yan was really thirsty. She stroked her hair, only to hear footsteps behind her, gradually approaching.

Su Yan raised her head helplessly, and Ning Wenyuan's slender figure appeared in the field of vision. He bent down, and the tall shadow covered it, covering up the sunlight above Su Yan's head, and immediately became much cleaner.

Su Yan's heart fluttered suddenly. Now that Sang Yu was by her side, she was naturally insurmountable. She called out coolly, "Ning You Envoy is also here."
