I was reborn by the emperor

Chapter 2

When the autumn rain comes, the temperature drops sharply, and the early chill floats in the air.

Xu Lianlang sneezed one after another, holding a small sachet in her hand, and hurried towards Xiuyunmen slowly.

After she woke up today, the small bed was already completely cold, leaving only a faint refreshing smell of saponins.

The Seventh Prince should have been away for a long time.

Xu Lianlang sighed, wondering where the Seventh Prince could go this morning.

Xiuyunmen is adjacent to Songhezhai, where the residence of the maid in charge of the palace is located.

The roof tiles were broken so much last night, she had to report to the nanny in charge and find the eunuch to repair it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to sleep with such a big hole exposed in the roof tiles.

The steward, Nanny Chen, was having breakfast, and the egg drop soup was served with a small portion of horseshoe cake. She got closer, and only then did she see that the teacup in Nanny Chen's hand was full of milk.

In Rehe Palace, milk can be regarded as a novelty.

Xu Lianlang saluted with lowered eyes, his heart could not stop slandering, the breakfast of Concubine Rong's breakfast was not even as good as that of a nun.

Nanny Chen put down the tea cup, raised her eyes and glanced at her, her tone was unclear, "New to the Tower of Clouds?"

Xu Lianlang responded, and quickly explained the purpose of coming here: "Nurse, there was a rain in the Tower of Clouds last night, and the masters were frightened, so I would like to ask you to send someone to repair it as soon as possible."

Nanny Chen was tall and tall, with her skin hanging on her bones, dangling, she lifted her drooping eyelids vigorously, shook off the folds on her clothes with her fingers, and looked at Solon on Xu Lianlang.

The girl in front of her had a plain face, with curved eyebrows, a plump and smooth oval face that was pleasing and round, like a doll in a New Year painting, with wet eyes that were begging softly, two big blobs of red on her cheeks, and a fair complexion that was inherently delicate.

She is a pretty little girl.

The little girl looked at her, and with a smile, she tore open the sachet bag with her fingers, took out a few copper coins from inside, and stuffed them into her hand respectfully, "Honor to you!"

The voice was cautious, and the pretty and graceful voice could not be suppressed.

Nanny Chen looked at the copper plate in her hand, and the muscles on her face softened a little. She put the copper plate into her sleeve, took out a brush with messy bristles, dipped it in ink, and quickly sketched a few steps on the booklet.

A set of movements, skilled and sloppy.

"Come on, I'll make a note here, go back and wait, and send someone there in the evening."

Nanny Chen waved her hand, as if she was about to send her away.

Naturally, Xu Lianlang didn't stop for a long time, his eyes were mostly on the mellow white and fragrant milk, thoughts arose in his mind, but he finally dismissed it.

This Nanny Chen doesn't seem like a good match, no matter how much private money she brings, she won't be able to stop the other party from talking loudly.

What she wanted had to find a way out.

On the way back, Xu Lianlang deliberately turned a corner, bypassed the main hall, Nanmu Hall, and quietly took a good look at the main entrance of Li.

The main entrance of Rehe Palace is Lizhengmen.

The guards here are heavily guarded, the curfew is strict, and tokens are required for passage.

Xu Lianlang lowered his head, avoiding people and quickly walked towards the large and lush ginkgo forest at the southeast corner of Lizhengmen.

Ginkgo biloba fell all over the ground, the ground was golden yellow, the trunk was rough, mixed with wet mud, with a damp smell.

Going deeper, the field of vision is wide, the ginkgo trees are sparse, and all you can see is a waveless river.

The surface of the river is silent and overgrown with weeds, only a dilapidated wooden boat is spinning and floating, and a man is sitting on the boat with his back facing her. Full of black dirt.

Xu Lianlang pursed his lips tightly, staring at this person without blinking.

She thought about her aunt's description and double-checked.

She bent down, picked up a stone, and threw it into the lake.

The stone sank in, and successfully attracted the eunuch to turn his head away.

The old eunuch squinted his eyes, and the lines on his forehead deepened by three points. He brushed his hair up with his fingers, revealing a half-nail-sized black mole on the tip of his left eyebrow.

The eunuch stared at her up and down, his eyes were straightforward but not revealing.

Xu Lianlang didn't shy away, and took a few steps forward, allowing him to look at him.

She shouted, "Eunuch Li Ri, did you receive my aunt's letter half a month ago?"

When my aunt was on duty in the palace, she once rescued a young eunuch who was disrespectful in front of the Holy One.

Disrespect in front of the palace, the crime can be big or small, my aunt helped him get over it with a few words, and saved his life.

The little eunuch was very grateful, and promised that he would die without hesitation.

Aunt Xu waved her hand and said with a smile, there will always be places that need his help in the future, please return favors, don't be so concerned.

Now, the favor owed to her aunt falls to Xu Lianlang.

Under the sunlight, her eyes were black and bright, the eyes were as clear as glass, with undisguised joy, the girl was so agile, even Li Ri, a rootless eunuch, couldn't help but feel his heart twitch.

Li Ri squinted his eyes, as if seeing Aunt Xu who entered the palace at the beginning of the year again.

Aunt Xu's appearance is graceful and graceful, and she is very attractive.

Compared with Aunt Xu who was by the Empress Dowager's side every day, and even the Holy Majesty tried to please her, her little niece was even more beautiful.

A 16-year-old girl who has just entered the palace is like an immature peach.

Astringent and sweet, seductive without knowing it.

Li Ri spat angrily, and suddenly thought of the bleak situation in the towering cloud pavilion, and cursed, "There are no people in the palace."

He glanced around for a moment, and finally landed on the jade bracelet on Xu Lianlang's wrist.

The little girl's wrist is very slender, and the wrist bones are long and delicate. A thin bracelet is hung on it, and her delicate and moist skin seems to be shining.

Li Ri put down his oars and bowed to the shore. The straw sandals under his feet were torn, and his big toe protruded a lot while walking. He said as he walked, "I've given up your bracelet, so there's no need to come here to suffer."

Xu Lianlang knew what he meant, no matter who looked at it, Rehe Palace was definitely not a good place to go, but she came to serve Concubine Rong who was abandoned by the palace and left to fend for herself.

But she still smiled and said: "Elder-in-law, the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't like this bracelet, even if I give it, I won't get any good job, why don't you just come here, it's so cool in summer. "

The new maids enter the palace and are assigned to various palaces. There are many doorways in the palace. Whether to serve the nobles or stay in the House of Internal Affairs as handymen is a matter of a word from the parents-in-law.

Let the father-in-law and mother say that sentence, it depends on who will be filial.

Xu Lianlang didn't understand these rules. Before entering the palace, her aunt taught her all the rules, both explicit and implicit.

Before leaving home, the aunt held her hand in her palm, looked at the niece's immature body growing like a flower stalk, frowned tightly, and repeated her words over and over again, "Ah Lang, don't take risks when you enter the palace." If we seek wealth and honor, we will go in alive and come out alive. We don’t seek wealth and honor, but seek longevity.”

Wealth and wealth are not something ordinary people can afford. Serving with noble people is to live with your head up. She has no big ambitions. She just wants to hold her own life well before the age of 25. After leaving the palace, find an honest man. When people get married, they go back to serve their parents.

That being the case, it is really a good place to stay away from the vortex of the imperial palace and come to Rehe Palace.

What's more, the master she served had also been kind to her.

She squatted on the shore, stretched out her hand to scoop up some water, and washed the sticky sweat on her hands. She said unhurriedly: "I have seen it secretly. They have stuffed a lot of money. I just want to save money. How can I live after I take it in?"

Li Ri snorted, but did not agree, "You have a hard time living now."

Li Ri sat directly beside her, grabbed two bundles of dogtail grass, twitched them lightly with his fingertips, and asked straight to the point, "What do you want from me?"

"Elder-in-law has been in the palace for a long time, so he must know some ways." She lowered her voice, "The palace doesn't have enough food and clothing. It rained so hard yesterday that the quilt was soaked. I don't know what to cover tonight..."

She stopped her voice at the right time, half of what she said, and the rest of it.

Whether it's smuggling from outside the palace, or the palace people have an affair and then turn to trading, she doesn't need to know these connections, as long as she pays the money, the things can reach her.

In the palace, it has always been said that the more one knows, the sooner one dies.

"Wait!"

Li Ri suddenly got up, threw the little rabbit made of grass with dog's tail on the ground, turned around and left without looking at her.

Xu Lianlang hurriedly followed a few steps, she stood sideways in front of him, and stretched out three fingers, "Elder-in-law, I want three quilts."

Hearing the sound, Li Ri glanced at her fingertips strangely. After thinking about it, he couldn't help mocking: "You are generous."

Xu Lianlang bit his lower lip, feeling a little embarrassed: "Your Highness is young, and the body of Concubine Rong is a thousand gold, it will be bad if you catch the wind and cold."

Li Ri's lips squirmed, and when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them hard again.

That's all, the little girl is young, and she is wise and safe, so if she talks too much, she won't listen.

Aunt Xu's affection is so deep, he just needs to keep an eye out for her in the future.

……

It was already noon when Xu Lianlang walked back with three quilts in his arms.

The sun was shining in the sky, and the chill dissipated a lot. She shook her head, feeling a little dizzy.

Eunuch Li Ri was quick to do things, and the three quilts were soft and thick. She kept leaning back, bent her knees and pushed them up, so that the quilts would not slip off.

She raised her chin, glanced casually at the fallen roof tiles, and thought about what Nanny Chen should say.

The senior nanny in the palace is the best at taking Joe, because the rules of the palace are not strict, she always likes to play tricks on all kinds of small things, such as repairing roof tiles, if she doesn't spend some money, she may have to delay Procrastinate.

The main hall can still make ends meet, but the side hall where the Seventh Prince lives cannot be slack in the slightest.

Xu Lianlang thought of the thin and thin body that was held in his arms last night, and thought of the mellow milk in Mama Chen's tea cup, and felt discouraged.

What kind of milk does Nanny Chen drink at such an old age? The prince is just growing up, and he can't even drink a bowl of egg drop soup.

With a bang, a roof tile fell three inches below her feet.

Xu Lianlang, who was so engrossed in surprise, almost cried out, she subconsciously looked up.

The light is dazzling, shining on the corner eaves and ridges, the rainwater on the roof is still dripping down, and the glazed tiles refract the colorful light.

In the colorful glazed light, the Seventh Prince, wrapped in a white robe, stood on the ridge of the roof, holding a tile and throwing it down with an expressionless front.

"Bang Dang" sounded again.

This time, it hit Xu Lianlang directly in front of him.
