Chapter 430 Aunt Lan

She glanced at Han Xiang, and said to Xiao Ninglang:

"Xiao Ninglang, let's not play today, let's go see what the Empress Dowager wants to do?"

He nodded, his face remained normal, and he just explained something nervously.

"Be careful."

"Well, I will, don't worry."

Han Xiang heard their conversation, and said while walking:
"Actually, Miss and Mr. Xiao, don't worry too much. Although I haven't served the Queen Mother before, I have heard many court ladies say that the Queen Mother is kind and gentle, and Aunt Lan is easy to get along with."

Hearing Han Xiang's explanation, she stopped and cried

Can't help but say:

"You girl, since this is the case, why were you so nervous when you first came in? It made us all nervous."

Han Xiang rarely said embarrassedly:

"I, this is the first time I see Aunt Lan, so I am a little nervous. I have never seen a court lady of this level before."

The little girl's words made the two of them almost couldn't help laughing, no, she had already laughed.

"Haha, Hanxiang, don't be so funny, do you have to be graded? Then what kind are you now?"

Speaking of this Hanxiang had a smile on his face, and said with some confidence:

"The servant girl is now a second-class maid."

"What about Aunt Lan?"

When mentioning Aunt Lan, Han Xiang showed a look of longing and admiration on her face, and said:

"Aunt Lanlan is a first-class court lady next to the Queen Mother."

Hearing this, she smiled happily and said in surprise:

"Hanxiang, then you are also very good, you are only one level behind, I believe, you must be fine."

After listening to her, Han Xiang looked lonely and murmured:
"Where is the girl saying it is so easy, the slaves have been in the second-tier court ladies for a long time, in fact, there are a lot of people like slaves in the palace, and many court ladies survived until the day they died without becoming a first-class court lady."

Han Xiang's words surprised her. Could it be different from the court drama she watched?asked suspiciously:
"Dead of old age? Isn't it possible to leave the palace after reaching a certain age here?"

Han Xiang looked at her, smiled wryly and said:

"The girl is right, but the palace stipulates that we can only leave the palace at the age of 40. If we go out at this age, we will neither be able to live nor marry a good family. Therefore, many palace ladies are still willing to stay in the palace and prefer to die of old age."

She was also shocked when she heard this, she always thought that court ladies could leave the palace when they were in their 20s, it seemed that she was too naive.

Now she didn't know what to say, she came to comfort the person in front of her, but she was speechless all the way.

Already in the hall, she saw a person standing inside, wearing a dark brown palace attire, she could tell at a glance that her status was unusual, and she was wearing some jewelry, which was already different from ordinary court ladies.

"I don't know what Aunt Lan wants to do with Minnv?"

Aunt Lan's face was deeply wrinkled, and she could tell she was a certain age, but her smile gave off a kind and polite feeling.

"Are you the girl the emperor invited into the palace to cook?"

She looked at this aunt who was still considered a relative, showing two dimples, and said lightly:
"It's a girl from the people."

Aunt Lan smiled brightly and directly explained the purpose of her visit.

"It's like this. The queen mother heard from the emperor that the Tong girl's cooking is very delicious, so she sent me here specially, and asked the girl to cook a meal for the queen mother, and also asked the girl to go with me."

She was slightly surprised, she didn't expect the Queen Mother to come and invite her to cook, but since Helian Tianjue allowed it, it should be fine, since she entered the palace, she shouldn't have offended the Queen Mother.

Thinking about it this way, my heart became much more stable, and then I smiled and said:

"Since it is the queen mother's order, the daughter of the people will definitely go, and I will trouble Aunt Lan to make a trip."

I didn't expect this girl to be quite good at talking. Is it true that people who can cook are ingenious?

She looked at Xiao Ninglang at the side with a smile, and said:

"The Empress Dowager's Shou'an Palace does not allow outside men to enter, so this son cannot follow."

He frowned, and when he was about to say something, she stopped him. Tong Zhuzhu frantically gave him winks, looked at Aunt Lan and said:
"Auntie, it's okay, I'll go with you."

Aunt Lan looked at her with a kind smile on her face, and said with a smile:

"The girl, come with me, don't let the Queen Mother wait for a long time."

"What my aunt said is, it's just that I need some special seasonings for cooking, so please wait, aunt, I'll get the things and we'll leave."

After speaking, she took a look at Xiao Ninglang, and then headed towards the kitchen.

Xiao Ninglang followed immediately, and Aunt Lan had been watching the little actions of the two of them all the time, a look of amusement flashed in her eyes, it's good to be young.

Han Xiang came up with a pot of tea, a little afraid to look into Aunt Lan's eyes, and said respectfully:

"Aunt Lan, please drink tea."

Looking at the little girl's appearance, she is well-behaved, but she knows the rules, and looking at her clothes, she is actually a second-class court lady, and she admired it a little, so she asked casually.

"What's your name?"

Hearing the aunt she admired the most asked herself, Hanxiang was extremely nervous, her face was still inexplicably hot, and her palms were sweating.

"If you go back to aunt, the slave girl's name is Hanxiang."

"It's a good name."

After saying this, Aunt Lan just concentrated on drinking tea and didn't speak any more.

In the kitchen, Xiao Ninglang watched her looking for seasonings, that cute look made him feel soft, and he simply hugged her in his arms while there was no one around.

This startled her, if they saw her, maybe what would be the reason for others to catch her?
"Let go of me quickly, if someone sees you, you will die."

"I won't let it go, who made you so happy, let me worry for nothing there."

The man's voice, which was half complaining and half coquettish, came into her heart, making her dumbfounded. She struggled to break free, stared at his face, and said seriously:

"Trust me, it's fine, besides, don't I still have the gold medal for avoiding death?"

From the words and deeds of Aunt Lan just now, Xiao Ninglang probably guessed what kind of person the queen mother is, and she didn't have any serious worries in her heart, but she didn't follow her suddenly, and she wasn't used to it.

"Don't you miss me?"

She stared at a pair of round eyes, looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, raised her hand and touched his forehead, and said in surprise:

"Are you not sick?"

Xiao Ninglang's face darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched, it was rare for him to act like a baby, stick to her, and be treated as sick.

"Forget it, you little heartless."

After speaking, he left directly, leaving her standing there inexplicably.

But she didn't have time to think about it, so she directly used the baby basket to pack all the seasonings.

"Aunt Lan, I'm fine, let's go."

So, she followed Aunt Lan all the way to the Shou'an Palace, where the Empress Dowager worked, but she was taken directly to the small kitchen dedicated to the Empress Dowager.
