Su Fengyao did not come back from Yuanlu Sect alone.
Behind her were the seven disciples of the head of the Yuanlu Sect.
It can be seen that the purpose of the Yuanlu Sect is to send a direct disciple to watch the eldest princess, which not only shows their attention, but also serves as a layer of surveillance.
But, this is not the key to Lu Xianchen, the key is...
The seventh disciple of the sect leader is called Lu Yi. Yes, he is the same as Lu Xianchen. This person is Lu Xianchen's younger brother.
There is no such paragraph in the original work. The Lu family brothers in the original work never left the Yuanlu Sect before they became famous, let alone come to the palace.
In the original work, the Lu family brothers were there to resuscitate the life of the female partner who committed suicide. Although the two brothers had no feelings for such a sister/sister, out of consideration of blood, they still saved the female partner several times, but in the end they were disappointed. downright.
Although they are blood relatives, Lu Xianchen enters the novel at the point of "climbing Holy Medical Peak". After climbing Holy Medical Peak, she never comes down the mountain all year round and has almost never seen her brothers. The relationship is really worse than that of strangers.
Su Fengyao still felt that she had good intentions: "The Holy Doctor has been here for a long time, and she must have missed her family. It just so happened that during this trip, Senior Brother Lu said that she wanted to come, so we came together."
Lu Xianchen was like meeting an unfamiliar colleague in the elevator, leaning side by side. He should say hello, but he also knew that there would be nothing to say after saying hello.
"Hello, brother, long time no see." Lu Xianchen said stiffly.
Lu Yi smiled: "Indeed, long time no see, sister."
The attendant who brought the medicinal materials saved Lu Xianchen from the embarrassment. A question of "Where are these medicinal materials?" brought Lu Xianchen's mind back to business. She bowed to the eldest princess and left, then turned to deal with the medicinal materials.
Su Fengyao was thoughtful, watching the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but shake her head: "Senior Brother Xiao Lu, don't you have a bad relationship with the Holy Doctor?"
"I do want to have a good relationship with her, but the Holy Doctor woman who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the Holy Medical Peak has to pay attention to me," Lu Yi shook his head and said, "She is a disciple of the Holy Medical Peak, and she is extremely talented. , don’t care about my younger brother anymore.”
"Doctor Lu is definitely not that kind of person," Su Fengyao said. "She is considerate and gentle, and she is also knowledgeable about government affairs. She is most talented and admirable."
Lu Yi stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, this sister doesn't pay attention to me, and I don't want to pay attention to her. Anyway, I don't have to stay here for too long. Otherwise, I will really not be able to eat due to the smell of herbs." Lu Yi said.
The prescription was complicated and inconvenient to leak out. Lu Xianchen handled it by himself and spent nearly five hours boiling the medicine. He really felt like he had to suffer for himself.
"System, don't you have a tool that can help me do things? Make an automatic program or something." Lu Xianchen held a small fan and fanned it against the small stove, fanning the sweat on his forehead from time to time.
"I'm sorry, the current plot setting doesn't support me doing this," Maomianduanzi said. "If it were an interstellar setting, I might be able to change an automated program for you, but it's not suitable for ancient novels."
"Ancient novels should have maids," Lu Xianchen sighed, "As a holy doctor, it shouldn't be too much to have a maid. Unfortunately, the heroine in the original novel is a loner, so I don't know anything about it now. Be hands-on.”
"If you need it, I can arrange one for you." The system said.
"Okay, let's choose a maid in the palace. She should have a clean family background, a smart mind, and preferably a true temperament that dares to love and hate. Of course, she must also be loyal to me." Lu Xianchen felt that she needed a helper.
"I have to cook the medicine for a day, so don't waste this day," Lu Xianchen thought, "In this way, the relationship between Su Fengyao and Zhan Jinyou will make progress. Let me think of a reason to let Zhan Jinyou enter the palace..."
"By the way, Zhan Jinlian is the ninth disciple of the leader of the Yuanlu Sect. She heard that the seventh senior brother came to the palace and wanted to come for a visit, so she dragged her brother here." Lu Xianchen snapped his fingers.
The system says it can do it.
So, on this afternoon when Lu Xianchen was busy with medicine, the two senior brothers met in the imperial garden.
"Senior Brother Xiao Lu, are you here specifically to see me?" Zhan Jinlian has a sunny and cheerful personality and is everyone's sweetheart.
"Don't mention it, I met some unlucky people when I came here," Lu Yi said, "That 'sister' was so arrogant when she saw me, she held her head high and put on airs when she spoke, and she didn't want to talk to me on the pretext of some medicinal materials. It's really too much I hate it..."
Zhan Jinlian didn't say a few words before Lu Yi started complaining like a machine gun.
Two younger children were talking here, and Zhan Jinyou raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Su Fengyao.
"Thank you." Su Fengyao said politely and distantly.
"It's a pity that the eldest princess is not in the palace this year. Whether it is the New Year's Eve party or the lantern festival, she has missed it so much." Zhan Jinyou said.
After all, the eldest son of the Zhongxin Palace cannot be neglected at will. Su Fengyao nodded gently: "Was the event well organized? Did anything interesting happen?"
"The holy doctor woman is in charge of the overall situation. It's really like that. The Queen Mother is very satisfied." Zhan Jinyou said.
"That's really good." Su Fengyao nodded slightly. She didn't know what she thought of, but her eyes showed sadness, "She can handle the affairs in the palace well, but I can't do the work of Yuanlu Sect well. Tianji Peak did not neglect me, but also I was not allowed to meet the leader in private, but it’s really…”
"Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has tried her best. It is beyond human power, so there is no need to force it, and there is no need to blame yourself harshly." Zhan Jinyou comforted her warmly.
"I, I have really tried my best. What should I do if the Royal Grandmother blames me?"
"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, don't worry, the Queen Mother can understand the difficulties of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
Liu'er, a palace maid in the imperial garden, heard all this and felt something was wrong.
Liu'er's mother was also a palace maid in the Royal Garden before she got married, and her ancestors were all in the palace. This made Liu'er have a clear understanding of the situation in the palace, and she was also smart and transparent. She knew that the royal family was declining, and both the majesty and the eldest princess had limitations. , and also knew that this loyal prince had great power and was a powerful official in the dynasty.
Not to mention that the prince's previous attempt to marry the eldest princess ended up in a farce. Everyone in the palace said that the eldest princess went to the Yuanlu sect at this time because she couldn't bear the gossip in the palace. Liu'er also thought so.
Several versions of this story were circulated in the palace. The prince of Zhongxin Palace was uneasy and kind-hearted, and the princess brought good reputation to the royal family. Liu'er was filled with indignation when she heard that the prince of Zhongxin Palace entered the palace, so she came over with a broom.
Unexpectedly, she heard two conversations, which made her very angry.
The younger brother of the holy medical woman knows how to make false accusations when he opens his mouth. Do you know how smart, gentle, kind and generous the holy medical woman is? Liu'er was responsible for picking the lotus flowers for the Queen Mother's treatment, and she would say "thank you" every time she took them. No other person in the palace would be so considerate to a palace maid.
If the holy doctor girl is my sister, then I should wake up smiling even when I go to bed, okay?
I don’t know what is good or bad!
And Su Fengyao's attitude.
The prince of Zhongxin Palace is ambitious. You should have kept a distance from him, but because of your emotions, you opened your mouth and said, "I have been wronged by the Yuanlu Sect" and "Tianji Peak does not want to see my royal family surnamed Su". As a princess, you show weakness to your ministers. ,Not appropriate!
Liu'er remembered that when she was a child, she was afraid of dogs and would cry when she saw a dog. Her mother taught her that when faced with vicious dogs, you should not show "fear" or "weakness" under any circumstances, even if it is just pretending. You should walk with your back straight, so that the vicious dog will be restrained.
The more afraid you are, the more ferocious the dog is; the more vulnerable you are, begging the dog not to bite you, the more the dog will bite you.
Nowadays, the Queen Mother does not dress up or go out in the morning. She must appear energetic in the morning and tell others, "My family is still young" and "The lintel of my Su family has not collapsed." How could the eldest princess destroy the Great Wall here!
Liu'er became more and more anxious the more she listened, and watched as Zhan Jinyou comforted her with a few gentle words, allowing the eldest princess to continue talking, and also talked about people and things that the eldest princess knew.
Listening to the two people's voices getting quieter, Liu'er leaned over there and stretched out her ears.
Unexpectedly, her hands shook, and she couldn't hold on. She fell out from behind the bush and fell in front of four people.
Liu'er panicked and quickly kowtowed and admitted her mistake: "You deserve to die. I was passing by here and slipped on my feet. Please forgive me, the eldest princess."
"Can you slip this far with slippery feet?" Zhan Jinyou sneered, "The quality of the maids in the palace is so good, no wonder..."
Su Fengyao's heart skipped a beat when she heard these words. The word "palace maid" vaguely touched Su Fengyao's mind.
Because her mother was a palace maid, a palace maid whom the imperial grandmother disliked so much that she never got her status until her death.
If she and her younger brother were not the only bloodline of the late emperor, it would be almost impossible for them to have the throne and the honor of eldest princess.
Therefore, Su Fengyao was particularly taboo about the word "palace maid". Anyone who mentioned it deliberately seemed to be mocking her mother's humble background.
"What crime do you deserve if you dare to eavesdrop on the conversation between me and the Crown Prince?" Su Fengyao looked unkind.
"Servant, slave, I heard that the crown prince of Prince Zhongxin came to the palace to see the princess. I, I thought, it was..." Liu'er knelt down, her mind went blank and she couldn't find anything to say.
"Although the sky is bright and clear, the eldest princess should still pay attention to her sense of propriety. If it is unreasonable to meet her husband in private, the queen mother will blame you." Liu'er finally spoke.
But Su Fengyao's expression turned even worse.
If you tell the Queen Mother Mingxi about this, she will definitely be angry, not because Su Fengyao's daughter is dating a foreign man, but because this "foreign man" is an ambitious foreigner.
"Okay, all the slanderous remarks have been made about this palace. What are the rules for this palace maid?" Su Fengyao got angry, "Come here, drag me down and give me fifty blows, and expel her from the palace!"
Liu'er kowtowed: "Your Highness, Princess, no, I didn't mean that..."
Fifty big sticks, hitting a weak woman, will kill her!
Zhan Jinyou said from the side: "It's just a 'foot slip', fifty big boards are too heavy."
"We need to impose severe punishments so that no one will realize their mistakes and make mistakes!"
Several people came over and were about to drag Liu'er down.
"No, Your Highness the Princess, please spare this slave. Please, you were the most tolerant in the past..."
Lu Xianchen was passing by here carrying the freshly brewed soup, and this was the scene he encountered.
