court ladies begging for joy

Chapter 31

Wen Xiaowan said that she was going to find Nie Jinyan at night, but she absolutely couldn't really go there at night.

Through the incident of her and Xiao Fuzi's food meeting, which was rumored to fill the palace, it can be proved that there are very disturbing potential factors inside and outside the Yongxiao Palace, and she must be extremely careful.

As the sun was about to set and the day was still in the evening, Wen Xiaowan said hello to Concubine Jia, then walked out of the main entrance of Yongxiao Palace in a dignified way, and went to the Department of Punishment.

It is not an exaggeration to say that when people are unlucky, drinking cold water will clog their teeth.Wen Xiaowan didn't expect that on the short journey from Yongxiao Palace to the Punishment Department, she would meet Lin Changhai, the deputy chief eunuch of the Respect Room, who is busy with drafting.

Meeting each other on a narrow road, Wen Xiaowan can't pretend not to know each other.It's even more impossible to go the wrong way, she can only bite the bullet and walk over.

Wen Xiaowan met with Lin Changhai for an ordinary palace ceremony according to the palace system, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that I met Manager Lin here, and our concubine's master also said that Manager Lin left in a hurry last time and did not treat Lin Changhai well." Manager, if you have a chance in the future, please ask Manager Lin to walk around more."

On the scene, Wen Xiaowan spoke better than anyone else, and always had a gentle smile like her name, which somehow gave people a kind of kindness.

Ever since Lin Changhai knew about the matter between Wen Xiaowan and Xiao Fuzi, the way he looked at Wen Xiaowan was much more kind than when he searched Yongxiao Palace.

"Aunt Wan'er is being polite, take care of the concubine Jia for our family, it was really disturbing that night."

The assassin has not been found until now, and it is estimated that he has already sneaked out of the palace.

The eyeliner who died at the gate of Fuhua Palace did not find any clues.The opponent's attack was too sharp, and he killed him with a single sword, and he couldn't tell which sect he belonged to. The wound left was also the sword used by a guard that is commonly used in the palace. According to the assassin's martial arts, he just took one. pretty easy.

Lin Changhai is neither Sherlock Holmes nor Song Ci. He turned the corpse over and over for a long time, but he didn't find any inspiration. Why did he die in the Fuhua Palace according to the eyeliner that was arranged outside Yongxiao Palace? Short-circuit his brains.

The main seat of Fuhua Palace is the ancient Russian princess Zhe Zhe, who came here by marriage, and is now conferred the title of concubine Shun.

Therefore, the appearance is too exotic, and the relatively conservative Emperor Longyao of Jin'an accepted his incompetence for a while, and the number of times he turned over the brand of Concubine Shun was almost the same as the number of times he turned over the brand of Concubine Su Yan.

Jin'an Emperor Longyao could allow two days to sit in the womb of these two concubines in one month, but because of the different status of Concubine Shun Zhezhe, although she did not have a long-term favor in the Jiaofang, Emperor En has always constantly.

Especially at the moment when the soldiers of the Hulu Kingdom invaded the Yumen Pass, the support of ancient Russia for the Jin'an Kingdom was particularly important.

Lin Changhai is a close friend of Jin'an Emperor Longyao, and he is very clear about Longyao's attitude towards Concubine Shun Zhezhe. Recently, if the ancient Russia is willing to send troops to aid Jin'an, he means to promote the status of Concubine Shun again. Promoted to the imperial concubine.

At this moment, someone killed his eyeliner and threw it at the entrance of Fuhua Palace. This incident seems trivial, but in fact...it has a different meaning.

After Jin'an Emperor Longyao heard, Nie Jinyan came to interrogate the confession about Liansheng, the servant of the humble Liu family, with a heavy expression on his face, and told him to put the matter down and not to mention it again.

Wen Xiaowan didn't know about these things. She asked Nie Jinyan that day, and Nie Jinyan sent her away with only three words. The old man said, "It's dealt with."

Look at how relaxed and stress-free people say, moving from Yongxiao Palace to Fuhua Palace, just changing the gate of the palace, things are very different.

"Boss Lin is being polite, but Boss Lin is also doing business, and anyone can understand."

As Wen Xiaowan said this, she already cursed Lin Changhai with novel vocabulary in her heart, from the hair on her head to the hair on the soles of her feet.

"Aunt Wan'er said that, and our family's heart has widened a lot. Oh, by the way, our family hasn't congratulated Aunt Wan'er yet. I don't know if Aunt Wan'er intends to host a few tables. Our family can also ask for a wedding drink."

Congratulations to you, Wen Xiaowan has already burst out the swearing at the bottom of her tongue,

Don't say whether the matter between her and Xiao Fuzi is true or not, even if it is true, is it worthy of being mentioned as congratulations?If it wasn't for being unable to beat Lin Changhai for the time being, Wen Xiaowan would have turned against him long ago.

No wonder when she first saw Lin Changhai, she felt that Lin Changhai was born as a cucumber.
"I made Director Lin laugh at it. It's all rumors. The sisters in the palace are messed up. It's nothing."

Wen Xiaowan pretended to be shy and shy, and it was rare that there was blush on her cheeks, so no one would think it was a 'misunderstanding' if she saw it.

Lin Changhai curled the corners of his lips maliciously, stared at Wen Xiaowan for a long time, and then said: "Our family also thinks it is a misunderstanding. According to Aunt Wan'er's appearance, even if she goes to the draft, she is also an overwhelming beauty."

This is not a compliment. Although the original owner is a cannon fodder female supporting role, she climbed over the dragon bed after all. Naturally, her appearance will not be too bad. It is just that she is overwhelming, but it is a little too much.

Wen Xiaowan hurriedly said humbly that her weedy beauty could not be compared with the well-known ladies in the draft, and Manager Lin admired her.

Seeing Wen Xiaowan's repeated refusal to hide, Lin Changhai didn't say anything, but the cloudy eyes in his mouse eyes became more and more unpredictable.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two passed by.Lin Changhai took his men to the Qianqing Palace ahead, and Wen Xiaowan continued to the Punishment Department.

After turning a corner ahead, Lin Changhai stopped and called the little eunuch Chen Wu who was behind him, "Follow and have a look."

The little eunuch Chen Wu immediately understood, turned around and went back the same way, trotting all the way, following Wen Xiaowan.

Wen Xiaowan's ears are extremely sensitive. The last time she was followed by Lin Changhai's people, she didn't realize that someone would follow her, so she wet a handful of shoes hastily. Moreover, the person who followed her was farther away, and seemed to be more or less martial. The footsteps were softer, not so obvious.

This time, Chen Wu, the little eunuch sent by Lin Changhai, just followed him, and Wen Xiaowan felt it.

Wen Xiaowan lowered her head slightly, and made a mocking sneer, so she walked to the side door of the Punishment Division, and said hello to the eunuch there, saying that she wanted to find Xiao Fuzi, but she didn't go in herself, and asked Xiao Fuzi to come out to meet him. she.

With the rumors that she and Xiao Fuzi had formed a pair in the palace, the little eunuch who received her at the gate of the Punishment Department looked at her with complicated eyes. Wen Xiaowan brainstormed for a while, but she couldn't find a suitable one. Describe in language.

However, apart from the complicated gaze, the little eunuch's attitude was very kind. Seeing that Wen Xiaowan didn't come in, he quickly rushed to the Punishment Department to find the little Fuzi who had been in a state of sorrow and joy for the past few days.

When Xiao Fuzi heard that Wen Xiaowan had come to look for him, he immediately felt a great deal of pressure, and he didn't dare to delay. When he trot all the way to the place where Wen Xiaowan was waiting for him, his whole body was already like a mushroom head swaying in the wind.

It's only been a few days since I've seen each other, how did Xiaofuzi's temperament become so..., Wen Xiaowan swallowed a few times, frowned a few times, and saw that Xiaofuzi was about to salute and bow to herself With a full set of royal gifts, she thought of the tail sent by Lin Changhai who was following behind her, and hurriedly reached out to support him, and said in a very low voice: "What are you doing, I am not your mother, and I am not your mother."

The actions of the two of them, because of Wen Xiaowan's deliberation and the previous rumors, seemed ambiguous and a little anxious to Wei Wei who was hiding in the dark.Seeing Wen Xiaowan grab Xiao Fuzi's hand, even his hand was itchy.

Xiao Fuzi really wanted to cry out sadly, Aunt Wan'er, you are an old man in my heart, not my own mother, but better than my own mother.Then she quickly retracted the hand that Wen Xiaowan held in her hand, shivering slightly.

Wen Xiaowan felt that she was transformed into a scourge in a second. The last time Xiao Fuzi saw her, she didn't look like this.

"You don't have to be afraid..." Wen Xiaowan didn't know how to comfort her, Xiao Fuzi must be the first class comrade she met after entering the palace.

Xiao Fuzi was ashamed, he really didn't want to be afraid, but he couldn't control it.He managed to speak without trembling, "I don't know if Aunt Wan'er is here at this time... is she looking for the old man from the company?"

Wen Xiaowan nodded, "Is he there?"

Seeing Wen Xiaowan being so careful, Xiao Fuzi kept his voice down, and immediately followed up alertly, "The old man, the company, hasn't come back yet, so he should have gone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and the queen mother announced him to go there."

At this time, Xuan Nie said that in the past, it should still be a matter of selecting a handsome man for Yumenguan, and Wen Xiaowan felt that she came at the right time.

"Then I'll go in and wait for him,"

Wen Xiaowan knows the rules of the Punishment Department, the front door is absolutely not allowed to break in, and the backyard is where the palace people who made mistakes in the palace are imprisoned. Only the side courtyard is the place where their internal staff of the Punishment Department rest and stay, and it is also the only place outsiders can enter and exit. The place.

"Okay, let's go with the little one first."

After Xiao Fuzi let Wan'er into the Punishment Division, it was meaningless to follow Wen Xiaowan's tail named Chen Wu, and hurriedly returned to their master Lin Changhai to report.

After Lin Changhai listened to Chen Wu's vivid description, his whole body was divided—although he may not have this ability.

"That girl Wan'er, are you blind?"

It's not that he's not deep, it's just that this matter is so nerve-wracking that he can't bear it anymore.

You have to know that Wen Xiaowan's behind the palm of the hand, her appearance, and her age like a flower, why can't she think about it so hard, what can Xiao Fuzi do?Even people of my level and status have not found such a match.

Last time, a maid in Renxi Palace managed to reveal this meaning, and after several twists and turns, it reached his ears.He even glanced at it secretly, NND, the creases on his face are deeper than those on his face.

With his status and the money that the emperor gave him, if he was outside the palace, he could buy a bunch of young girls, but Jin'an's palace rules are very strict. Eunuchs buying private property outside the palace, marrying wives, not to mention buying and selling women from good families, if they were caught, they would be cut in half.

Not to mention Lin Changhai's degree of favor, he is the most favored personal chief executive beside Emperor Taizu, and he has saved Emperor Taizu's life several times. He bought private property outside the palace, but he still didn't dare to publicly marry a wife.

His subordinate, Chen Wu, also thought so. According to him, his own virtue was stronger than Xiao Fuzi's.

Lin Changhai touched his elongated nose, and could no longer use the words 'interesting' to describe this matter.

Xiao Fuzi didn't dare to let Wen Xiaowan directly into their Sigong Nie's house, the goal would be too obvious, and his "happy water" would be splashed in vain.

This was the first time Wen Xiaowan entered the Punishment Department and came to find Nie Jinyan.

Before this, Wen Xiaowan had never been to Nie Jinyan's room, but looking at Xiaofuzi's decoration, she felt that Nie Jinyan's place should not be too bad. She didn't know that Nie Jinyan's room was actually It is the most transparent of all the rooms in the Department of Punishment.

Wen Xiaowan sat here and waited for about half an hour, when the last ray of light outside was swallowed up by the night, Nie Jinyan came back.

Little Fuzi, who had been guarding the side door, waiting for him to come back, saw him and hurriedly greeted him, saying that Aunt Wan'er had come.

Nie Jinyan nodded, and strode towards Xiaofuzi's room. Xiaofuzi followed behind him. After Nie Jinyan entered, he stood in the dark bitterly and continued to guard the door.

"I just came back at this time, I haven't had dinner yet, let's drink some water first,"

Wen Xiaowan heard footsteps outside and knew that it was Nie Jinyan who came back. When Nie Jinyan opened the door and came in, she smiled warmly and greeted him.

Nie Jinyan was slightly drunk by the warmth that hit his face, and his straight brows could not help but relax, and they became more beautifully curved.

Wen Xiaowan got a cup of warm tea and handed it to Nie Jinyan who just sat down.

"Why are you here?" Nie Jinyan took a sip of tea, held the tea bowl in his hand, and didn't put it back on the table, "Have you encountered any trouble these days?"

Wen Xiaowan smiled slightly, "I'm in trouble, why don't you know?"

Lin Changhai set up eyeliner in Yongxiao Palace, would Nie Jinyan not set it up?It will only be set earlier.

"I have nothing to do there, I just miss you, come and see you,"

Neither of them mentioned the rumors that spread throughout the palace, as if it never happened.

Wen Xiaowan mentioned to Nie Jinyan the personal relationship that their master concubine Jia concubine came up with on a whim, and Nie Jinyan listened carefully, before expressing his own opinion, "Prince Jing is trustworthy, but Jing The prince...he didn't even come to the morning court."

"Why?" This matter.Wen Xiaowan didn't know.

The national law of Jin'an State stipulated that all courtiers who lead Jin'an State to be paid and have enough rank must go to court early, except for the elderly and infirm, who can be considerate as appropriate.

It's funny to say this, but Nie Jinyan can still say sternly: "Sometimes in the early court, the court meeting is too long, it will exceed an hour, which disturbs Prince Jing's habit of changing clothes every hour."

"What? So you don't have to go to court?" Jin'an Emperor Long Yao was a little too easy to talk to.

Nie Jinyan nodded helplessly, "If this habit is violated, Prince Jing will not be able to restrain himself from passing out. After passing out in the morning court for ten consecutive days, His Majesty thought that he was weak and gave him the privilege of avoiding the morning court."

In fact, Jin'an Emperor Longyao really couldn't bear the shock that Prince Jing would bring to the court every time he fainted, and he had to ask the imperial doctor to call for emergency treatment, which was too time-consuming and affected the court proceedings.

Anyway, with Prince Jing present or without Prince Jing, the results of the court discussions are similar - Prince Jing's eyes are always fixed on the clothes of the ministers.

Prince Jing has mentioned in the book several times that the court uniforms of the courtiers of the Jin'an Kingdom are too old, and the colors and patterns are too outdated, so they should introduce new ones.

Jin'an Emperor Longyao forced the matter down because the treasury was empty and the proposal was postponed.

Prince Jing still didn't give up, and was still running downhill. He joined the ministers and asked them to pay for the court clothes out of their own pockets.

At that time, when the ministers saw Prince Jing, they all ran away as if they were seeing a plague god.I deeply feel that the emperor's decision to waive Prince Jing's court proceedings is the greatest and wisest decision.

"Then... that doesn't mean it?"

Wen Xiaowan was a little regretful and depressed, she thought it was a good thing.Who knew Prince Jing was so unreliable and unreliable.

Nie Jinyan couldn't bear to see her lowered eyebrows, "I can't point to..."

Wen Xiaowan regained her spirits, leaned on the edge of the table, stared at Nie Jinyan with wide-eyed Shuilingling eyes, "Is there any other way?"

"Well, we can send a military adviser to Prince Jing." Following Wen Xiaowan's routine, Nie Jinyan was instantly inspired by the spring of inspiration and brought him to the point of no bounds. Don’t worry about it, won’t it be all right?”

Wen Xiaowan couldn't keep up with Nie Jinyan's thoughts for a while, so she stretched out her fingers and made a pair of rabbit ears, "Two princes?"

"Yes, two lords." Nie Jinyan already had a candidate in his heart, and he felt a lot more relaxed. He reached out and touched Wen Xiaowan's forehead, messing up the Liuhai there, "You too Didn't you eat? Let's go together."

Waiting for Nie Jinyan to come back, Wen Xiaowan hadn't eaten yet. When Nie Jinyan mentioned it, she nodded again and again, baring out a row of lovely white teeth and two inconspicuous dimples at the corners of her mouth.

Nie Jinyan likes to see Wen Xiaowan's cute and innocent appearance the most, even he himself seems to be able to become innocent.
