After Yinzhen returned home from the morning court, he saw Xiao Linzi waiting in the front yard.
When Xiao Linzi saw Yinzhen, he knelt down to say hello.
"My slave wishes you good luck to your master. May you be blessed with good luck."
Yinzhen said as he entered the house.
"Get up. Why has your master sent you here?"
Xiao Linzi quickly stood up and followed closely.
"Reporting to my master, our master has got some good deer sinews and has ordered them to be cooked in the kitchen. Please show your respect and come to Cheng'en Garden to have breakfast together."
Yinzhen stretched out his hand and let his maid serve him to change out of his court clothes.
"Oh? Deer sinew is difficult to burn and difficult for your master. Did you prepare it last night?"
Xiao Linzi lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Master is wise, it's true. Our master said, master, you like to eat this roasted deer tendon, so he always thought about it and thought of ways to get it to replenish your health."
Yinzhen had changed into black clothes and smiled.
"Your master is willing to give it up. Deer sinews are not easy to come by. I don't know if your master's monthly allowance is enough. She always looks for these for me to eat."
Xiao Linzi thought for a moment and replied.
"Reporting to my master, as far as I know, the monthly silver reward you gave her is enough. Our master is always grateful for your lenient treatment of her, so naturally he thought of a way to find her for you."
Yinzhen lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Linzi.
"You slave, your words are very clever. Let's go to your Cheng'en Garden."
Xiao Linzi quickly opened the way and took Yinzhen to Chengen Garden.
There was a garden between the front yard and the back yard, and Xiao Linzi walked in front. He had good eyesight and watched Jiang Fuhai from a distance walking around the corner of the garden with Han Dew to Xingfuyuan.
Xiao Linzi deliberately and quietly moved to the right, blocking Yinzhen's sight. He waited until Jiang Fuhai could no longer be seen before continuing to walk as usual.
Songzhi stood next to Nian Shilan. Breakfast had been laid out and she was waiting for Yinzhen.
"Master, look, slave, Fujin said that the affairs of the house were left to you to handle, but he was still worried about everything. No, at that time, Zi Hanlu went to send the account book to Fujin for review. Fujin said that she didn't want to read it, so she turned around and sent it away again. Jiang Fuhai came and asked Hanlu to take the account book. Master, tell me, what does Fujin mean by this?"
Nian Shilan was bored while drinking tea and waiting for Yinzhen.
"No matter what she means, just watch it if you want."
The little eunuch at the door announced.
"Master is here~!"
Songzhi helped Nian Shilan stand up and faced the door.
"I have met my master. I am very lucky to you."
Lanjiao, who was young and pretty, bowed to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen had a smile on his face and held Nian Shilan's arm with both hands.
"Get up, this hairpin today is extremely beautiful. It suits your current status, gentle and unassuming, and good-looking."
Nian Shilan stood up, looked at Yinzhen and smiled.
"My master only praises me for my hairpin, but not for my dress today? The material of my body is very new these days~"
Yinzhen took Nian Shilan's hand and entered the house together. Nian Shilan deliberately lagged half a step behind him.
"My king's Shilan looks good in anything she wears, but this hairpin is even more outstanding."
Nian Shilan smiled and greeted the slaves serving in the house.
"Quickly, wait for the master to clean his hands. The master will be very hungry when he comes back next morning."
Yinzhen cleaned his hands, sat at the table, looked at the breakfast table, all delicious and delicious, and laughed.
"Shilan is still considerate and knows what I like to eat. Then let's eat together."
Nian Shilan then sat down and served Yinzhen a bowl of soy milk.
The two had breakfast, and the maid brought tea. Yinzhen and Nian Shilan rinsed their mouths first, and then took the tea cup from the other maid's hand. This was the tea they drank.
Yinzhen sighed.
"It's Shilan who understands my preferences and knows what dishes will suit my appetite."
Nian Shilan responded with a smile on his face.
"Master, I don't think I am stupid."
What I’m thinking about is, I’ve been by your side for two lifetimes, how can I still know your preferences?
Ulanara looked at Han Lu who was kneeling in front of him.
"Raise your head, I only ask, you just answer."
Han Lu slowly raised her head, refusing to look directly at Uranala.
There was no smile on Ulanara's face today, and the words that fell into Han Lu's ears also carried a bit of seriousness.
"May I have your name?"
Han Lu trembled and replied.
"Cold dew."
Jiang Fuhai was standing by and scolded lightly.
"When you answer your master's question, you have to add the word "slave". It's not rude. Are you so disrespectful when you are on duty in front of your master?!"
Han Lu hurriedly knelt down, touched her forehead to the ground, and kowtowed to Ulanara.
"Reporting to Master Fujin, my name is Hanlu."
Ulanara looked at Han Lu and said slowly.
"Hanlu, do you know your guilt?"
Han Lu looked up in shock.
"Master Fujin, I don't know what you are referring to?"
Jiang Fuhai had pushed Xiao Hezi out, and Xiao Hezi knelt in front of Uranala, pointing at the cold dew.
"Master Fujin, my servant was not mistaken that day, it was indeed her!"
Han Lu looked sideways at Xiao Hezi, her face blank. Who is this little eunuch? He looked very unfamiliar.
"Fujin Mingjian, this servant doesn't know him!"
Han Lu opened her mouth to cry out, feeling confused in her heart.
Uranala pointed at Jiang Fuhai.
"You tell me."
Jiang Fuhai said to Han Lu.
"He is Xiaohezi, the guardian servant of Qiongyuyuan. Yesterday was the death anniversary of the deceased Fujin of Qiongyuyuan. The master found that the belongings of Fujin were damaged. Someone pointed out that you were at the gate of Qiongyuyuan a few mornings ago. I asked you to come here because of my probing."
Han Lu said anxiously.
"This slave has been wronged! I beg Master Fujin to see clearly. Except for following Xiu Fujin to Xingfu Courtyard to greet him, or following Xiu Fujin's orders to go to the kitchen to get things, this slave never dares to walk around in the mansion! He doesn't even know any of the slaves from Qiongyuyuan. ! Even Qiong Yuyuan, I only heard about it today!"
In fact, Han Lu did not lie. Qiong Yuyuan was considered a forbidden area of the palace, and ordinary servants could not even approach it.
Ulanara's face was expressionless, he took the tea, took a sip, and said calmly.
"Xiaohezi, did you really see her that day? Did you admit your mistake?"
Xiaohezi kowtowed and said hurriedly.
"I don't dare to lie! I looked everywhere today, and it's her! She has a special hairstyle, which is slightly different from other servants in the house. I will never admit her mistake!"
Han Lu felt a chill in her heart.
The maids of Cheng'en Garden, because Gu Yu's skillful hands always like to invent new hairstyles, and like to secretly change their hairstyles. Master Fu Jin never cares about these trivial things, so the maids of Cheng'en Garden, The hairstyle is always slightly special to the royal family.
And because they don't move around the house much every day, this kind of custom is not popular among the slaves in the house.
Ulanara said to Han Lu.
"Did you hear that clearly? Do you want me to repeat it?"
Han Lu reluctantly cheered up.
"I beg Master Fujin to look into it! I have never done anything to damage the relics of my deceased descendant Fujin! If you don't believe it, you can send someone to ask Fujin. I really don't have any!"
Han Lu thought, Zhou Fujin was usually good to the slaves, so she would probably protect her.
