Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

Now the former dynasty is in turmoil, and memorials impeaching the Tan Tai family are piled up on the emperor's desk like snowflakes. Tan Tai Yinxue in the harem has no one to rely on anymore.

At this critical moment, the palace maid beside Tan Tai Yin Xue actually came to the door. Cai Lian was quite curious about the intention.

The maid named Xiaomeng remained calm. She took out an old jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to Cailian: "Aunt Cailian, your jade pendant has fallen off."

It was a very old jade pendant.

The color is dark, the material is very poor, it is the cheapest jade on the market. It has been weathered for a long time, and it has a history of at least ten years.

Cai Lian's breathing stagnated and she snatched the jade pendant back.

Grandmother's jade pendant!

Cai Lian's lips trembled, and she glared coldly at the palace maid in front of her: "Where did you come from?"

The maid Xiaomeng smiled slightly: "My master picked it up by accident. Aunt Cailian, my master wants to see you."

Cai Lian was silent for a moment, and told the maids behind her: "Go to the flower room, bring two pots of 'Yuhuchun' autumn chrysanthemums, and send them back to Yongning Palace."

The maid took the order and left.

Cai Lian sent the two palace maids away, then looked at Xiao Meng deeply and said, "Take me to see Concubine Xue."

After walking around two bends and through a long corridor, the palace maid Xiaomeng brought Cailian to a secluded garden. There was no one around, and Tan Tai Yinxue, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was admiring the autumn chrysanthemums.

Cai Lian moved over.

Tantai Yinxue picked a beautiful purple chrysanthemum and played with it in her hand. She tilted her head to look at Cailian and said, "Lanpin is stupid and foolish. A few months ago, she suddenly came up with a clever trick to deal with me. At that time, I thought that Lanpin must have received guidance from an expert. Let Xiaomeng investigate and find out you, the rat in the gutter."

Cai Lian said nothing.

That's true.

At first, Lanpin came to Shen Wei to complain, claiming that Tantai Yinxue poisoned her, but she could not produce any evidence. Cailian received instructions from Shen Wei and secretly went to remind Lanpin.

But unexpectedly, Tan Tai Yin Xue found some clues.

Cai Lian had been with Shen Wei for many years, so she remained calm in the face of difficulties. She said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Are you looking for me, Concubine Xue, to bring up old scores?"

Tantai Yinxue shook her head, pinching a chrysanthemum with her slender jade fingers, and walked slowly towards Cailian: "Before your grandmother was taken away, she kept repeating your nickname. Alas, it's really pitiful."

Cai Lian's heart suddenly sank and her brows furrowed.

My grandmother was captured by people sent by Concubine Xue!

Cai Lian secretly clenched her fingers, her tone trembling with a hint of fear: "What do you want to do?"

Tantai Yinxue chuckled as if she was watching something interesting, and looked at Cailian: "As expected of you, you are the most capable maidservant beside the Concubine Chen. You are still calm at times like this. It's a pity that your grandmother is not as calm as you. When she was asked to leave the manor, she fainted."

Cai Lian bit her lips tightly.

Tan Tai Yin Xue spoke slowly: "I'll give you two days to poison Concubine Chen. Otherwise, your grandmother will have to feed the fish."

Tantai Yinxue reached out and pinned the chrysanthemums she had picked into Cailian's hair. The chrysanthemums bloomed in the hair, looking very beautiful.

Tan Tai Yin Xue warned: "You have no way out."

After saying this, Tan Tai Yin Xue, with a cold smile on her face, slowly left with the palace maid.

The chrysanthemums in the garden were in full bloom, peaceful and quiet. Cailian pulled out a chrysanthemum from her hair, stomped on it twice, turned around and ran towards the Imperial Household Department.

She used the excuse of going out of the palace to buy cosmetics for the Concubine Chen, and quickly left the palace in a carriage, heading to the farm where her grandmother lived.

Zhuangzi is not big and is empty.

In the small bedroom where my grandmother lived, porcelain was scattered all over the floor, and there was a faint smell of blood in the room. Cai Lian stood there stiffly, tears streaming down her cheeks.

...

In Huayang Palace, Tantai Yinxue was sitting in the courtyard admiring the flowers. After a while, the maid Xiaomeng came back and reported: "Master, as you expected, Cailian has indeed left the palace."

Tan Tai Yin Xue curled the corners of her lips and fiddled with the chrysanthemums in the yard with her slender hands.

Fortunately, the Tan Tai family did not completely collapse, and they were able to find a few people to kidnap Cai Lian's grandmother.

Having seen the scene with her own eyes this time, Cai Lian will no longer have any luck.

Tan Tai Yin Xue said calmly: "She is a blood relative. For the sake of her only grandmother, she will definitely take action against Concubine Chen."

Once Concubine Chen dies, Tan Tai Yinxue's family will be able to escape unscathed.

Tantai Yinxue slowly stood up and looked back to admire the chrysanthemums in the yard. She smiled helplessly and sadly, thought for a moment, and held the hand of the palace maid Xiaomeng: "Tomorrow, I will find a reason to drive you out of Huayang Palace, and you don't have to serve me anymore."

Xiao Meng's eyes were filled with tears: "Master..."

Tan Tai Yin Xue soothed him, "I have no way out. If you follow me, you will die."

Xiao Meng knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Tan Tai Yin Xue.

At this time, footsteps were heard not far away. Lanpin came over gracefully, holding a golden fan in her hand, and said gloatingly, "Hey, what are you two discussing? Are you struggling to survive?"

Lanpin looked gloating.

Good things have been happening a lot recently.

The Queen's last son is gone, the Tan Tai family is about to fall, the Emperor will most likely depose the Queen, and Tan Tai Yinxue will probably be banished to the cold palace - Concubine Lan is so happy.

When the queen is deposed, one of the concubines will be named queen. Then one of the four concubines will be vacant.

Before, Lanpin had racked her brains to frame Meifei in order to seek the position of imperial concubine, but unfortunately she never had the chance to do it. Now, without framing Meifei, Lanpin only needs to go to the Queen Mother to beg for mercy, and she will have a chance to sit on the position of imperial concubine.

Lanpin has been in a very good mood these days, so much so that her appetite has increased and her face has become rounder.

Tan Tai Yin Xue ignored Lan Pin and turned to leave the courtyard. Lan Pin was still not satisfied and taunted her from behind: "Hey, why are you running? Did my words hurt you? Weren't you very proud when you first entered the palace?"

boom--

Tan Tai Yin Xue closed the bedroom door.

Concubine Lan covered her mouth and laughed so hard that her body shook.

...

It was dark and the lights in Yongning Palace were bright.

The palace servants carried food boxes in an orderly manner and brought plates of delicacies into the house. As autumn was getting cold, Shen Wei had specifically instructed the imperial kitchen to add another dish of chestnut stewed chicken and lily duck soup.

The palace maid carrying the lily and duck soup was about to enter the house but was stopped by Cai Lian.

Cai Lian calmly took the food box and softly told the maid, "Let me serve the two masters dinner tonight."

Cai Lian was the head maid of Yongning Palace, and her words carried weight. The maid did not dare to refute and left with her head down.

The light from the main room spilled out and shone on Cailian's dress. She was half in the dark and half in the light. The night wind blew Cailian's hair on her forehead, and she opened the food box in her hand.

The rich aroma of the soup wafts out.

Cai Lian stared at the soup in the food box with a gloomy look in her eyes.
