Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 33

Su Yan's cheeks were white and plump, and compared to her previous greenness, she added a touch of charm. It was the alluring look of a man's pampering. Just looking at it made her fragrant.

Lin Qingqing looked at the people in front of her in a daze, as if there was something different, maybe from the first step they stepped into the palace, everything changed quietly without realizing it.

"It's hard for you to still miss Aijia." The Empress Dowager Jiang said indifferently, and Su Yan blessed her, "The concubine never forgets the teachings of the Empress Dowager."

He Lu put the plum blossom cake into a small silver plate with flowers, and divided it into thin pieces with a silver knife. Concubine Jing sat half-sitting gently, her face was still sick, and her rosiness was not enough. Others looked at Liu Hanyan's gentle attitude, "Sister Su has worked hard to serve His Majesty these past few days, and she also has the heart to honor the Empress Dowager, which is really rare."

Hearing these words, Lin Qingqing twitched the corners of her lips, her eyes flickered, and then she smiled quickly, "The Empress Dowager mentioned Yan'er just now, saying that the scriptures you copied are very useful."

Su Yan stood up pretty when she heard the words, her moist eyes were full of aura.

After what they said, Empress Dowager Jiang's tense face gradually relaxed.

The reason why Su Yan went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning first to pay her respects was for two purposes, one was to dispel the Empress Dowager's vigilance, and the other was to win the Empress Dowager's trust.

Calling the servant girl to bring the copper basin, she cleaned her hands carefully, took the silver plate from He Lu's hand, and snuggled up to Empress Dowager Jiang to take her seat, like a cute cat, she said sweetly, "The concubine knows that the Empress Dowager You think about it, come here in a hurry, or the concubine serves you with some plum cakes, and it will lose its original taste when it gets cold."

Empress Dowager Jiang was very pleased with her phoenix face, so she gave a portion of the pastry to Concubine Jing and Concubine Lin Qingqing each. After they tasted it carefully, Concubine Jing wiped the corners of her mouth and praised, "It's so unique and fragrant, and the imperial dining room doesn't have such craftsmanship." .”

"The secret recipe made by the concubine alone cannot be made by others." Su Yan replied proudly, and then fed Queen Mother Jiang together.

Lin Qingqing held the plate and took her time, the plum blossom cake melted in the mouth, it was delicious, just like Su Yan's people, sweet and pleasant.

Su Yan's appearance is quite charming, but there is always a smile on that pretty face, the smile is pure, innocent, and clean, so people can't get bored.

Empress Dowager Jiang was already a little fond of her, and couldn't help her acting like a little girl, so she sighed helplessly, "Concubine Jing, Lin Ronghua, you have been with Ai's family for several hours, go back to the palace to rest, and serve the emperor well, teach me Su Wanyi can just stay."

Su Yan rolled up her sleeves, folded them up, supported them with her hands, and said, "The concubine will not leave tonight, and I will come to talk with the Queen Mother."

After all, Concubine Jing was an old man in the palace, she had never seen any scenes before, she was used to it, she knelt respectfully and retreated.

Lin Qingqing didn't see Su Yan for some days, she was really thinking about it, and she was full of things to tell her, so she reluctantly walked slowly, looked back outside the door, and finally followed Concubine Jing.

Empress Dowager Jiang nodded in satisfaction, "I didn't expect you to have such good skills. The Ai family thought that young ladies like you are masters who don't touch the spring water with their fingers."

Su Yan fetched a brocade handkerchief, wiped her mouth for her, pursed her lips and replied with a smile, "My concubine believes that women should have some skills, and there are always uses that others can't replace."

After saying that, Suiyang said, "Wait a moment, my concubine will have a word with Sister Lin, come as soon as you go."

In the harem, it is well known that Lin Qingqing and Su Yan are sisters.

Empress Dowager Jiang didn't say anything, but she was clear in her heart. This Su family is a real person, and she treats people with a bit of sincerity.If such a beautiful and caring concubine without a city mansion serves the emperor, there will be less troubles.

Just as Lin Qingqing was about to leave the hall, she heard someone calling softly behind her, looking back slowly, it was actually Su Yan curling up the door and walking out in small steps.

"Sister Lin, Yan'er misses you so much, but it's inconvenient to say more today in the Palace of Compassion and Ning." Su Yan's small face showed sincerity, and Lin Qingqing's heart softened, so he held her little hand and straightened her hair for her. Chai, said softly, "During your absence, I would be bored by myself and have no one to sue... Yan'er, when you are free, I will go to my palace and have many things to say to you. "

Su Yan nodded, then took out a warm jade from her sleeve, and stuffed it into her hand, "I know my sister's body is cold, so I took care to find this for you."

"People in the palace are cold, and you are the only one who treats me like a sister." Lin Qingqing did not refuse, sighed softly, raised her eyebrows, and pushed her back, "Go back quickly, don't tell the empress dowager to wait, let's talk about it." How can it be said at this hour and a half!"

"I know my sister loves Yan'er." Su Yanwan smiled slightly, blinked at her, and swayed back to the hall.

"Sister Lin, let's go for a walk with Bengong to the Imperial Garden." Concubine Jing, with her long skirt dragging to the floor, was standing under the ancient pine not far away, beckoning to her.

Lin Qingqing complied, holding the warm jade in the palm of her hand, the winter sun was meager, and the pines and cypresses were evergreen.

The heavy stone on my heart seemed to be much lighter.

The Chenshe decorations of the Compassion Palace are all gloomy rose purple, a luxurious color, which symbolizes the most noble status of the women in the harem.

Su Yan served tea and rubbed her shoulders, serving Queen Mother Jiang very well, she was peeling almonds at the moment, and said some jokes to relieve boredom.

He Lu came in and out several times, seeing that Empress Dowager Jiang had never shown her face and smile like this before, she ordered the palace servants not to enter the palace, leaving only Su Yan to wait on her.

"It's the first time for my concubine to step into the Cloud Palace, and I'm really dazzled. Such a magnificent bedroom, with hot springs like spring, is even more effective than the warm jade incense burner." Su Yan did not hide His Majesty's favor, but He praised Yungong.

What kind of character is Queen Mother Jiang?The favorite concubine of the previous court fought for the throne, and she sat firmly in the second place for ten years. Even the number one beauty, Concubine Yu, who was most favored by the late emperor, could not beat her.

For a person with a deep scheming mind, frankness is a hundred times sharper than whitewashing. The Queen Mother occupies a high position. Although she is far away from the temple, she can see clearly the hidden things. It's worse.

Su Yan's voice was as gentle as a warbler's cry, Empress Dowager Jiang's gaze was long, her old memories were surging like a tide, she patted the back of Su Yan's tender white hand, her voice was extremely soft, "When Ai's family entered the Sixth Palace at the beginning of the year, they were one year younger than you Son, the late emperor doted on me very much, the Yun Palace hadn’t been renamed before, it was called the Hot Spring Palace, the Ai family served the late Emperor for the first time, and it was also in the Hot Spring Palace, just like you, I was dazzled by the prosperity.”

Su Yan listened quietly, and Empress Dowager Jiang continued, "But later, Concubine Yu and Concubine Zhen entered the palace one after another, and there were more and more flowers and plants in the harem, so Ai's family moved into Zifeng Palace. It’s been thirty years since I lived here, but now that I think about it, it’s as fresh as yesterday’s events..."

"Who can live forever? Empress Dowager, what you have is something that no woman in the world can pursue in her whole life."

Empress Dowager Jiang shook her head, "You are still young, the road in this palace needs to be walked slowly, steadily, and you can't miss a single step."

Su Yan's hand paused slightly, yes, one step can't be wrong, not only was she wrong in her last life, and she was wrong so thoroughly.

"After listening to what the Empress Dowager said, the concubine seems to be gradually understanding." Su Yan's expression was extremely serious, with a thin layer of mist on her face.

"The Ai family would like to advise you that the emperor's favor cannot be monopolized, it can only be shared equally, and the rain and dew can last forever."

Su Yan lowered her eyes and remained silent.After a while, he said, "The concubine has made a note."

"Don't dislike what Ai's family said. Go and see Jingwen. The emperor worshiped him as a tutor. When he is two years old, he will learn literature and martial arts. It's a pity that there is no mother and concubine to teach him. What is missing after all? .”

Jingwen's bedroom is in the inner garden of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Su Yan is eager to think about her son, and her pace is also tight, in order to be thorough, she deliberately left Sang Yu at the outer gate to guard.

The hall is spacious, and Jing Wen, as the eldest prince, is very likely to be the emperor's heir in the future, so the treatment is quite high.

The nurse was holding Jing'er's hand, learning to walk on the thick felt blanket, Su Yan pushed the door straight and walked in, but the steps stopped abruptly after she took her steps.

Beside the felt, a slender figure stood sideways, the soft-colored brocade drooping down, showing a handsome face.

"My servants have seen Su Wanyi." The servants were no strangers when they saw Su Yan coming.

Su Yan calmed down, and stepped forward calmly as if nothing had happened, with a beautiful complexion, "Get up, I'm here to take a look at His Highness, there is no need to be polite."

Ning Wenyuan still bowed respectfully, "I have seen the young master."

Su Yan twitched the corners of her lips, then took Jing Wen over, and without looking directly at him, she asked calmly, "Why is Envoy Ning You in the Palace of the Great Highness?"

Every frown, smile, and every move she made, her charming delicacy and the charm between her brows made his heart ache.

"Return to my lord, Your Majesty pardoned this minister as His Royal Highness's Taifu. In the future, he should come here often." Ning Wenyuan looked at Jingwen, but his eyes were locked on the water-red man.

Seeing that Jing Wen and Su Yan were very close, the wet nurse said, "There is meat porridge cooked in the kitchen, please take care of His Highness for a while, my servant will be back soon."

Su Yan smiled lightly, but still held onto that little hand, bent down, and led him to learn how to walk slowly. Jingwen would yell at her from time to time, so Su Yan leaned over, listened carefully, and then taught him seriously. Make a sound.

The chest was filled to the brim with Jingwen, and the heart also melted and warmed.

From the day she entered the cold palace, this situation, perhaps only existed in her dreams.

After the wet nurse stepped back, Ning Wenyuan took a few steps forward, and squatted down with his clothes lifted, "My lord, do you like Your Highness?"

Su Yan raised her eyes, her expression was gentle and tender, and she was meeting Ning Wenyuan's deep eyes. The sudden closeness was like when she was in the Su Mansion. Those carefree and gentle years will never come back.

As they looked at each other, the two of them were silent, for some reason, Su Yan's hand loosened, and it happened that Jing Wen struggled for a while, but Ning Wenyuan was still quick-eyed and hugged him.

But Su Yan's hand was still on Jingwen's waist, and in his hug, he actually wrapped Su Yan's little hand together, and the moment of skin-to-skin contact was vaguely unreal.

"Your maidservant is waiting outside!" Seeing this, Lan Ruo hurried out, fearing that someone would break in at this time.

Su Yan struggled a bit, but Ning Wenyuan grabbed her violently with ten fingers, almost crushing her slender finger bones.

"Emissary Ning You, please let go, don't forget your identity!" Su Yan's face turned red, how many eyeliners and ears there are in the palace, such a bold and transgressive move is too dangerous.

Ning Wenyuan held on tightly, with a push, Su Yan leaned forward and fell straight into his arms.

Su Yan was already angry at this time, but Ning Wenyuan suddenly said, "Yan'er, I miss you very much."

Su Yan, who was struggling violently, stopped suddenly, why was the tip of her nose sour and tight even though she clearly had no affection.

"Master and mistress are all well, and they miss you too." Ning Wenyuan stretched out his hand to caress her back, tenderly out of shape.

Su Yan felt liquid rolling down from the corner of her eyes, so she hurriedly wiped it away, then pushed Jingwen and knelt down on the felt, "Emissary Ning You has become more and more indistinguishable from superior to inferior."

He took out a plain white silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over, "The palace servant will be back soon."

Su Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled, her eyes were moist and bright, "It's just that the dust is blinding my eyes, there is nothing to wipe away."

But Ning Wenyuan quickly reached out to wipe away her tears, just in time, Lan Ruo raised his voice outside the door, "The meat porridge is ready, serve it to Your Highness."

Su Yan hurriedly straightened her clothes, and went straight to sit on the couch with Jing'er in her arms. The wet nurse and the maid pushed the door in, and saw Jingwen sitting in Su Wanyi's arms playing around, while Master Ning looked up at the picture on the wall. Cursive script, as if studying.

"It's getting late, Lan Ruo will send Lord Ning back, Your Highness will have Lord Lao Ning to take care of you in the future." Su Yan issued the order to evict guests politely, her eyes were still rosy, and the maidservants didn't notice.

"Your servant is not polite to me." Ning Wenyuan took a deep look at her, but Su Yan turned his head away.

Looking back, the wet nurse was already waiting with meat porridge, Su Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, held Jingwen's little hand, and carefully taught him how to eat.

Those words echoed in my ears, faintly, without a trace.
