Chapter 68

In the easternmost courtyard of Gandong No. [-] Institute, there is a red plum tree growing, which is thicker than the one in the Towering Cloud Pavilion, with coiled branches, and one branch even reaches the platform.

When Xu Lianlang watered the most blooming chrysanthemums in the courtyard, he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like when the red plums bloomed in winter.

It must be more beautiful than the towering cloud pavilion.

There is nothing more auspicious than this omen.

This year, Lu Jieming might be able to pick a bunch of red plum branches for her with his hand, and she doesn't need to step on her feet.

She put down the watering can and looked around the red plum plant. She was dressed in palace attire, and her hair was combed in the same way as the maids passing by. This was her third day in the palace.

She adjusted well, but...for the past three days, she hasn't seen Lu Jieming again.

When all the palace servants in the courtyard saw her, they would call out, "Miss Xu."

After bumping into the emperor that time, she never had a chance to see Lu Jieming again. After a quick sleep at the inn, she returned to the palace at noon the next day.

Lu Yinan got into Lu Jieming's carriage, and the siblings shared the same carriage until they entered the palace, but Lu Jieming did not show up again, the curtains hanging on the windows of the carriage could be lifted by a breeze, Xu Lianlang Looking at it from a tricky angle, one can barely see Lu Jieming's thin and pale chin.

Later, the curtain was pulled by a hand with strong knuckles, and the wind could no longer blow it.

The noon sun was very strong and drying, and Xu Lianlang was sweating all over.

She could not guess what had happened.

I can only speed up my pace, like all the servants, closely follow the movements of the large army, for fear that if I don't pay attention, I will be left without mercy.

Kyoto is very prosperous, and there are so many novelties, and the vendors are next to each other, but she has lost her mind to look around.

The tall and magnificent Wengcheng at the Zhengyang Gate seems to have emerged from the sun, and the large eaves cover a quarter of the sun. Even so, the sun's rays fall on the magnificent glazed tiles of the palace, still piercing people. Can't keep my eyes open.

Entering the Zhengyang Gate is considered to have completely entered the palace.

Lu Jieming was surrounded at the front and entered the Qianqing Palace together with the emperor, while she followed at the back, and finally Wang Fulu brought them to the Qiandong No. [-] Institute.

Qiandong No. [-] is the residence of the princes, and Wang Fulu took her for a walk, "There are only a few princes who live in this place. It is very clean, but it is also very conspicuous. When you first come to the palace, you must be careful and be careful in everything. "

Wang Fulu's voice is high-pitched and hoarse, and he has cold eyes all the year round, as if the color of the pupils is a little lighter, amber, like a leopard. His back was bent, and he couldn't straighten up anymore.

He squinted at Xu Lianlang, who had a straight back, and raised his hand to hit her on the smooth neck, "Low your head, how can a slave stand up straight, look down at your feet, look at the ground. The seventh highness treats you well, He can ignore everything, but you can't, we slaves are all worthless!"

He sighed faintly, his eyes were gloomy, "You really decided to enter the palace?"

Xu Lianlang rubbed his neck that was sore from his slap, and did not hide it, "This is the second time I have entered the palace, the first time as a family member of my aunt, and the second time as a maid of His Highness, so many people yearn for the palace, I will also come to see it What's so good about it?"

She spoke briskly, and lowered her body to pick up the ginkgo leaves that had just fallen from the branches. The ginkgo leaves were bright yellow and bright, like a feathered butterfly that had just emerged from its cocoon and was finally blown dry by the wind. Hit the wall, maybe the decision was wrong at the beginning, but if you don’t make this decision, there will be no chance of trial and error.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the palace where His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was about to move into. The coincidence of gold and jade is precious, and the young man is a jade lotus in the Buddha's hand. After shaking in the mud pool for several years, he can finally reshape his golden body.

"After the Seventh Prince returned to the palace, the people who stayed with him were carefully selected. In fact, it doesn't make much sense for you to stay." Wang Fulu didn't show mercy. The emperor had such thoughts, and the Seventh Prince could protect her for a long time , at this moment, it is definitely not a good time to enter the palace.

Xu Lianlang paused for a moment, the ginkgo leaves in her hands were still moist with dew, making her palms moist, "What should I do, I promised him."

She blinked, and those hazy eyes were half innocent, half compromised, mostly unwilling to let go, it was agreed, His Highness begged her, and she couldn't let go.

Wang Fulu let out a muffled laugh, "I've known for a long time that you are a stubborn girl, you have reached this point if you don't listen to persuasion, that's all, be careful in everything in the future, rely on yourself in everything, His Royal Highness... is also unreliable, He has a lot of elbows..."

Many words, Wang Fulu can not say very clearly.He stopped in time, and the words he swallowed became only sighs.

Wang Fulu carefully arranged her residence, and he deliberately moved her residence to the side room farthest from the main hall.

Seeing His Highness the Seventh Prince being favored, they lived farther away, so they could save some trouble.

The ear room is not big, but there are no maids living with it, it is clean and tidy, Xu Lianlang himself is not picky, and he doesn't understand the rules in the palace, so he nodded.

Wang Fulu explained the rules of the palace to her again, but the details of the rules still depend on Lu Jieming's attitude.

The five high walls and deep fortifications in Qiandong, how much vision was blocked by the four corners of the sky circle, Wang Fulu has been looking at it all his life, but today he feels cold in vain, he shakes his whisk, resumes his appearance as a chief executive, and finally casts a last glance at Xu Lianlang's small penthouse , I don't know if this side room can become her shelter from wind and rain.

The maid serving in the palace was not sure about Lian Lang's status in the eyes of the master, so she treated her with care, and her care inevitably brought alienation. For the past three days, she had been alone.

Fortunately, she got used to it, she was the only girl of the right age in Suoyun Pavilion, and she was doing well, there was no reason why she couldn't do it when she came to the palace.

But now she really wants to grab someone and ask where Lu Jieming is.

She didn't understand, and no one told her, Lu Jieming didn't show up for three days, so where should he be?

Just like that, when the sun set and it was dark again, there was finally a commotion at the door. Xu Lianlang came out from the ear room and found that the maids and eunuchs had already stood in line. Shining like a hungry wolf.

A maidservant explained, "There is news from Qianqing Palace that His Highness is coming back. Miss Xu, look where she is standing so that His Highness can see it at a glance."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lianlang understood that they had probably held back for a long time, and couldn't tell whether they should hold themselves or step on them.

She is an outsider, and it is difficult for her to blend into the group they have long embraced. If she comes, she will have bad roots, and it has become an instinct to praise the high and trample the low.

Xu Lianlang didn't think it was strange, if it were her, she wouldn't be able to do it very well, the environment affects people's temperament, she has not experienced the grinding of the palace, so she is not qualified to judge other people's survival rules.

But she couldn't help worrying.

Worried about Lu Jieming's attitude.

The sedan chair came from the north, and a small sedan chair followed more than a dozen people. It was a grand occasion. The people in the sedan chair were sitting upright, the curtains were rolled up to let in the wind, and his white and sharp face could be seen vaguely. Wearing the imperial decree on a jade scroll, wearing a brocade robe with cloud patterns, and a fine white jade pendant hanging from his girdle.

Xu Lianlang was suffocated for a moment, and the strange yet familiar boy got up from the coercion. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but felt that the boy's indifferent brows and eyes were even sharper. After not seeing him for a few days, his stature felt a lot taller.

The long legs hurried over the threshold, and the air that was originally as quiet as water instantly became chaotic. The maids beside her saluted in unison. There is always a sense of scrambling to escape famine in front of the new master. No one wants to lag behind. Willing to win the first place in exchange for a better life in the future.

This time Xu Lianlang didn't fall into a daze again, and she also knelt down. Lu Jieming put on a fancy dress, and it seemed that he was no longer the person in her memory, but she was also happy because of this change, That's what Lu Jieming should be like, dressed in fancy clothes, served as a beautiful maidservant, driven in a sedan chair, aloof, able to stand thousands of people bowing down.

Just when Xu Lianlang thought that Lu Jieming would walk past her again and not give her a look, the young man's luxurious robe stopped in front of her.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her, Xu Lianlang could even see his eyelashes, those slightly trembling eyelashes, Xu Lianlang thought, the wind must be too strong today, and his eyelashes were blowing, but why did she feel that Is his breathing also heavy?

She was lifted up by him, the contact between the two of them only fell on the shoulders, and they broke up as soon as they touched, she heard Lu Jieming say, "Sister, you have worked hard all the way, I will go to find you later."

His tone was not half softer than usual, flat, without an inch of intimacy, but Xu Lianlang's heart that had been hanging in the air fell to the ground.

The heart that was stuffed in the soil began to feel astringent from the moment he stopped letting her get into the carriage. She knew that he must have his own reasons, but she was also afraid that because of this reason, the child she raised would really become her own. Talk about the "white-eyed wolf".

Lu Jieming seemed very busy, he spread the imperial decree of the jade scroll on the desk, and Si'er, a servant, made him a cup of hot tea, he hung his pen on his wrist, all his attention was on the paper.

Si'er wanted to speak but stopped, and kept silent, he really didn't dare to say more.

I don't know how long it took, the imperial doctor came over with the medicine box on his back and changed the medicine for him, Si'er went outside to call the maidservant, "Do you want to call Miss Xu?"

The hand holding the tie of the robe paused, Lu Jieming's long hair fell to his shoulders, he turned around and put down the bed curtain, "No need, find another maid."

Si'er smacked his lips, "You...you gave Miss Xu face in front of so many people, and now you call other people in, it's hard to guarantee that Miss Xu won't think too much."

Lu Jieming exposed his upper body, and the wound was no longer serious. He moved his arm and felt a little pain, which was completely tolerable. His voice sounded unhurriedly, "You are right, then There is no need."

"Your Highness, can you do it yourself?"

Scrubbing the body, wrapping gauze, and injuries to the back and shoulder blades all require personal attention.

"When I was in Suoyun Pavilion, there was only my sister. I have to do everything by myself."

He picked up the brocade quilt casually and covered his body, "The Taifu is back, let the Taifu come over."

The author has something to say: Contact the doctor again, and try to finish it before the operation

Send red envelopes to everyone, knowing that everyone is not short of this Jinjiang coin, be careful, thank you!
