The queen snorted softly, but Ning Dong still had more thoughts: "Your Majesty also said that there are people coming and going here, so I can't calm down, Miss Lin, why don't I go to your place to explain."

"Lao Qi, the queen mother just sent someone to look for you, why don't you go and have a look." The queen's voice was still calm, without any sign of discomfort, and she said to Daiyu, "you should go back earlier, although the palace is very busy. Be calm, but it's hard to guarantee that some people with ulterior motives will cause trouble on purpose, don't you think so, Miss Lin."

"Yes, empress, Daiyu will go back now." Although she knew what the empress was teasing inside and out, Daiyu could only bear it, leaned back and saluted, looked at Baochai silently, and called Zi Cuckoo left.

Ning Dong still shouted unwillingly behind him: "Wait, I'll go there later, I have to untie it today..."

Zijuan didn't dare to look back until she reached the gate of the fifth princess's palace: "Miss, did your empress misunderstand the girl?" Daiyu didn't make a sound, but just looked up at the delicate lintel: "Go back."

For two days in a row, not only did Ning Dong fail to find Daiyu, but even the affairs of the empress and the palace maids were silent. Daiyu finally let go of her uneasy heart, and even felt a little more relaxed on her face.

After lunch, the sunshine in the late spring and early summer made people drowsy, Zijuan was about to clean up and let Daiyu rest, when she saw a middle-aged nanny come in and said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, my mother called the girl over. "

After exhaling, Daiyu turned to the nanny and said, "I'll change my clothes and go there."

Zijuan dressed Daiyu and said worriedly, "Girl, is it because of what happened the day before yesterday that the lady passed on the girl's past?" Juan, you have to face what you have to face.”

After thinking for a while, Zijuan said in a low voice: "It's all His Highness the Seventh Prince who insisted on dismantling the Nine Rings, if it wasn't for him...now it would be better, he hid aside, and he didn't even see anyone, as if deliberately framed the girl Yes, and..."

Looking up at Daiyu, Zijuan said in a low voice: "Everyone is a sister, how can Miss Bao just watch Empress come over without reminding me."

Daiyu didn't make a sound, and looked out quietly: "You are also beside me, why didn't you make a sound, Zijuan, some things and some people can understand it in their hearts, so there is no need to say it."

Although the Kunning Palace is not big, it is full of grace and grandeur everywhere, even the nanny who greeted her has a superior reserve, Daiyu has come here except once when she first entered the palace, this is the second time.

Soothing her mood, Daiyu secretly warned herself that today's summons might not be peaceful.

As the nanny walked in, Daiyu faced the empress who was sitting on the soft couch with a motionless expression. Although she had been prepared in her heart, she still felt an indescribable depression.

After seeing the ceremony, the Queen's graceful face showed a not-too-distant alienation: "Miss Lin is still used to being in the palace these days." Daiyu said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, the princesses take good care of Daiyu. "

Raising the handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, the queen said: "Yingji is an easy-going child and doesn't like to talk too much. When I first entered the palace, I thought Miss Lin was a smart person, so I was relieved to let you go together, but... "

Looking up at Daiyu, the queen's pretty eyes became a little more serious: "One must be self-aware to be considered smart. Now that the princes are all grown up and have reached the age of marrying wives and taking concubines, because they often go in and out of the harem, they are a little ignorant." At any rate, a court lady who underestimates herself or something, just because she has a bit of beauty, thinks...the most important thing in this palace is a beautiful woman."

Leaning on the back, the queen took a sip of tea leisurely: "Miss Lin, I heard that His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness once borrowed from the Lin Mansion when he went to Yangzhou." .”

"No wonder you are so familiar." The queen smiled slightly: "I knew Miss Lin was a smart person, and she was taught by her servant, so how could she do stupid things."

The empress is worthy of being the person in charge of the six palaces. At first, she sarcastically sneered secretly, but she was sharp in secret. Then she changed the subject and gave Daiyu the steps, which not only did not offend others, but also taught others a lesson. Although Lin Hai said that everyone in the palace Not a simple person, but Daiyu didn't really understand this sentence until today when she saw the empress's shrewdness.

Taking a step forward, Daiyu had no choice but to follow along and said, "What the empress taught is that Daiyu must remember her duty."

"I know that Miss Lin is not stupid, otherwise she would not have chosen beside the princesses. When the emperor let the girl into the palace, he once said, 'Like a mother, like a daughter', the girl's mother used to The palace is a well-behaved person, otherwise she would not have married Lin Shilang. For the sake of the old man, I remind the girl that if you want to get along in this palace, it is not enough to be smart. There is an old saying, "Smartness is misunderstood by cleverness", you must understand your own weight, some people are not something you can be with casually, and some things are not something you can promise."

Picking her fingernails, the queen continued: "I seem to have heard that the king of Chu admired Miss Lin's talent very much, and once praised her as a smart person to her face."

With a wry smile secretly, Daiyu suddenly thought of a sentence, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about." No wonder her father wanted to stay away from these princes before entering the palace.

Pulling back her sleeves, Daiyu said lightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Daiyu understands her duty. As for the matter of the King of Chu and His Royal Highness, it may be that your Majesty misunderstood. These things may be a coincidence. Daiyu and the two Although His Highness knows each other, in Daiyu's eyes, His Highness is the master of the palace, the future pillars, Daiyu has no other thoughts."

"It's good that Ms. Lin understands. It seems that Ms. Lin is indeed a sensible person. This palace is relieved. To be honest, your highnesses are getting older, and there are many people with ulterior motives around them, and this palace has to take care of this huge one. In the harem, if you don’t be tighter, how will you explain to the emperor? To be a man in the palace, the most important thing is to understand your own identity, and those who don’t give up until they reach the Yellow River are simply asking for trouble.”

Standing up slowly, the queen turned her head and said to the waiters: "You really don't wink, why don't you give Miss Lin a seat. Although Miss Lin is not a princess or something, she is still a girl from the servant's family now."

"Daiyu thanked the empress for giving me the seat. As the empress said, Daiyu is not a princess or princess. It is Daiyu's blessing that the empress can teach a few words. I am afraid this Daiyu can't bear it." After finishing speaking neither humble nor overbearing, Daiyu Yu deliberately took a step back and stood upright.

Looking at Daiyu with raised eyebrows, the queen suddenly smiled faintly and said, "It's good that you understand, it seems that I don't need to say any more, to be honest, I still admire Miss Lin very much in my heart. It's okay, come and talk to Bengong."

The empress returned to her usual kindness and grace: "If you have any embarrassing things in the future, you can tell this palace yourself. Because of the friendship between this palace and Lingtang, this palace will definitely make decisions for the girl."

"Daiyu thank you for your love."

With a slight smile, the queen said with a smile: "Miss Lin, you don't have to be so polite. Public is public and private is private. This palace is in charge of the harem, so it is natural to distinguish. If this is the case, come and send Miss Lin out of the palace."

After giving a salute, Daiyu said unhurriedly: "Daiyu thanked the mother for her teaching, Lu Daiyu in this palace still remembers it, and dare not bother the mother."

The queen's complexion sank slightly, and then she recovered, and took a sip of tea lightly: "Since that's the case, then I won't force it. There are many people in the palace, so be careful, girl, lest you go the wrong way."

Just a few steps away, she heard someone calling from behind: "Miss Lin." Turning around, Daiyu saw a nun coming up with two handkerchiefs and said, "Miss Lin, this is a tribute from Qianxiang Kingdom." , the empress said to reward the girl."

She saluted with a calm expression, and Daiyu said: "May I ask you to thank your mother for Daiyu's reward, but after entering the palace, your mother has already rewarded me with something, Daiyu asked herself if she hadn't done anything, she won't be rewarded for nothing, Afraid of not being able to bear the great love of the empress, I asked the mother to convey Daiyu's thanks on my behalf."

The nun didn't expect Daiyu to refuse, so she couldn't help saying: "This is what the empress wants, don't you want to resist the order?"

"Mother misunderstood, Daiyu dare not." Daiyu said softly: "Your Majesty can look up to me, Daiyu is sincere and fearful, but as I said just now, you are not rewarded for nothing, and you should be ashamed of it." , when one day Daiyu has finished according to Madam's wishes, then she will definitely come to ask Madam for a reward." After speaking, Daiyu slightly bent her body and stepped back to walk outside.

"Sister Lin." Baochai came over from the corridor on one side, took the handkerchief from Mammy's hand, and said softly, "Mammy is responsible for answering, and just say Miss Lin, thank you for your reward."

"I've been serving my mother for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this." Zilai was used to being flattered in Kunning Palace, and although Daiyu said it tactfully, it still made the nanny brood.

"Don't worry about it, my sister. She just entered the palace and felt that she was rewarded by the empress for no reason. She felt a little uneasy, so she said that. In fact, she didn't know that the empress is an easy-going and generous person. people."

"It's Nvshi Xue who understands the truth. Even the empress praised that time, saying that since Nvshi entered the palace, she has saved a lot of worry about things in the palace."

Baochai said with a smile, "I just entered the palace, and there are many things I don't understand, and I will trouble the mother to give me more pointers." Will do."

"Mammy is too polite. Madam, please say something nice to me about this matter. I will thank Mammy on behalf of my sister." Seeing Mammy leave with a smile on her face, Baochai came over: "Sister Lin, You are usually a winking person, what happened today, how can your mother's things..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Nv Shi. I will take care of my affairs, and I won't bother Nv Shi." Thinking of what happened the day before yesterday, Daiyu still brooded: "I can't say, the queen's reward was given to the wrong person, and it should be given to Nv Shi. If it weren't for the female history's wink, it wouldn't be..."

Baochai smiled awkwardly, "I know you're angry with me, it's true that I didn't remind my sister about what happened yesterday." Sighing, Baochai said in a low voice, "You know I entered the palace not long ago. How could... I was going to speak yesterday..."

"I know Nv Shi is in a difficult situation, and besides, I don't blame Nv Shi, it's my business, you don't have to worry about making your mother unhappy with today's incident." It has softened.

Baochai naturally knew Daiyu's temper: "If I don't remind my sister again, then I will really have no face to see my sister in the future. My good sister, I will accompany you for a crime."

Seeing that Daiyu was silent, Baochai knew that Daiyu was just out of face at this time, so she handed the handkerchief to Daiyu with a smile: "Sister, even if you don't like this handkerchief, take it, for your empress's sake." , I am afraid that no one dares to brush."

But Daiyu gently pushed the handkerchief: "I won't accept it. I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be guilty?" Daiyu knew very well that the empress had already decided this matter in her heart, if Daiyu accepted the handkerchief This is tantamount to acknowledging the suspicion and accusation of the queen: she has ulterior motives, and she is even more obsessed with the prince, but if she refuses...

Knowing that this would offend the queen, Daiyu couldn't accept such a stigma in her heart.

Yinzhen, who is Lin Hai, once told and taught Daiyu that the palace is a place where the weak can prey on the strong. If you encounter problems, don’t be brave and serious, but you don’t want Daiyu to still be deeply rooted in Lin Hai as a literati. The kind of temperament that would rather bend than bend, made her refuse without hesitation.

Although it is necessary to be aware of the trend and seek profit as a human being, there are some bottom lines that cannot be lost, such as this matter.
