A glance at the spring breeze

Yin Jian hadn't appeared at Ruan Lan's side for two days and two nights, and Ruan Lan reckoned that she would not see Yin Jian for a long time.

Due to what happened two days ago, Eunuch Yu has been in shock for the past two days, for fear that his head will fall off one day.Eunuch Yu also told Ruan Lan about the replacement of the medicine powder, and he was even more disturbed.It was not until the third day that Eunuch Yu slowly calmed down.

In the afternoon, Eunuch Yu was reading "Collected Works of Bo Cheng" to Ruan Lan. Ruan Lan felt that the time was ripe, so she pretended to ask casually: "Grandpa, do you know what interesting things happened in the palace? Tell me quickly. It's so boring."

When Eunuch Yu heard that Ruan Lan was going to take the initiative to chat with him about gossip for the first time, he was so excited that he threw away the sage book in his hand. He moved to Ruan Lan's side and said triumphantly, "That's natural. Our family doesn't understand this palace anecdote But I heard that everyone knows the way! Speaking of it, my lord, there was a pair of eunuchs and maids in the Jingyang Palace who were caught by Lin Cairen, and they were beaten severely. The beating was miserable. The beating was bloody, the beating..."

Ruan Lan saw that his words were becoming more and more irrelevant, so she stretched out her hand to interrupt him: "I said, don't you have any interesting anecdotes, father-in-law? Only then can I live up to my father-in-law's ears and ears..."

After being pointed out by Ruan Lan, Eunuch Yu suddenly realized: "My lord, you really understand! You are right! It is interesting to talk about those big people! Let the slaves think about it..." Eunuch Yu slapped his head, "Yes The palace people have been betting in private recently, betting on which one will win the favor, the imperial concubine or the new concubine Wei Wan." Halfway through the speech, Eunuch Yu seemed to have remembered something, and turned to look at Ruan Lan's expression.After all, Eunuch Yu was still guessing a few days ago whether there was any relationship between the imperial concubine and Mrs. Ruan.

Ruan Lan looked very interested, and she was not unhappy at all: "Why didn't you say it halfway through?"

Seeing that Ruan Lan was still enthusiastic about gossip, Eunuch Yu immediately discarded all the previous anxieties and let go: "Your Excellency, you know that the imperial concubine has been favored by Your Majesty since she ascended the throne, so the palace people naturally have a lot of interest." Some support the imperial concubine, but Wei Wanpin has been occupying the holy favor since she entered the palace. His Majesty has spent half of this month staying in Wei Wanpin's Furong Palace. There is also reliable news that in a few days, Wei Wanpin will She is about to be named one of the four concubines by His Majesty!"

Ruan Lan thought to herself, Yin Jian is the most annoying for others to speculate on the holy will, if he knows that you are betting on him, even if he really planned to seal Wei Wanpin, he would not.

Ruan Lan continued to ask him: "Then did your bet come to fruition?"

Eunuch Yu nodded: "Basically the result has been reached. Think about it, my lord. Your Majesty has been staying with Concubine Wei for the past two days, but punished the imperial concubine for seven days. It shows that Your Majesty is liking the new and loathing the old!"

Ruan Lan almost thought that she had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked in a surprised voice: "What? The concubine was grounded... for seven days?!" Yin Jian clearly told him that it was three months, which was different from the rumored time It's too much.

"Speaking of this confinement, my lord, you should go out and chat with the palace people more. No one in the palace knows about this. Just when you were still unconscious, my lord, the eldest prince sneaked out to play without reading. , This time, he ran into the pavilion where His Majesty kept his treasures, and accidentally smashed the white jade vase of colored glaze and peony flowers that His Majesty had treasured for many years. His Majesty punished the eldest prince to kneel in the imperial ancestral hall and hand-copy the "Avatamsaka Sutra" ten times. In addition, the imperial concubine and empress were also punished for seven days on the charge of lax parenting..."

Seeing that what Eunuch Yu said was sound and well-founded, he felt that the rumored seven-day confinement was much more reliable than the three-month confinement that Yin Xian himself said.

If the rumors were true, then he really didn't understand why Yin Jian would lie to him.

Ruan Lan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, thinking deeply.

Eunuch Yu was still eloquent, and then he talked about a long list of anecdotes about the palace. Later, he talked about the old story of Yin Xian, who was only the king of Yu nine years ago, got drunk and molested the maidservant of the palace.

"After she conceived in October, the maid gave birth to His Majesty's eldest princess. Unfortunately, she died of dystocia. His Majesty loved her beloved daughter who lost her mother since she was young, so she passed her to the noble concubine. The eldest princess was raised by the noble concubine since she was a child. The noble concubine Empress treats her as if she is her own child..."

Ruan Lan did know that the imperial concubine was not the birth mother of the eldest princess, but she did not expect such a secret. I am afraid that the truth was not so ups and downs in the first place, but it changed after being passed on by the palace people.

"Let's stop here today. These anecdotes are enough for me to recollect for several days." Ruan Lan told Eunuch Yu, "I'm a little hungry, when can I have dinner?"

The small stove that Yin Jian told him two days ago was not fulfilled because of the dispute between the two, but Ruan Lan obviously felt that the food in the past few days was much better than before, so what Ruan Lan is most looking forward to every day is One of them is eating.

"Slave, I'll go to the imperial dining room to get it." Eunuch Yu ran out the door, "Your Excellency, please wait, and dinner will come after a while!"
