A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C147
This time, Leng Qiyue’s departure from the palace went without a hitch. She did not know where the Imperial Family Courtyard was, so she could only go to the Phoenix with a request.
The door of the phoenix asking for the phoenix was always closed during the day.
This time, Leng Qiyue jumped over the wall and entered. Ever since she recovered from her martial arts training, she didn’t like to go through the doors again.
When they arrived at the backyard, Peony had set up a parasol at the edge of the pool outside and was currently sleeping soundly under it. Han Ruoxue stood to the side and fanned herself to make her sleep more comfortably.
Han Ruoxue saw her and put a finger to her lips. Leng Qiyue lightly walked over and asked in a low voice, “Where is the Imperial Family Courtyard?” Is Princess Changle already living inside? ”
Han Ruoxue also said in a low voice, “Let Han Xing take you there. There is still one more person that you will be interested in.”
Leng Qiyue was too embarrassed to disturb him, so she nodded and left the backyard. She could not remember where Han Xing’s room was, so she stood in the yard and shouted, “Han Xing, come out.”
After the roar, there was only silence. Leng Qiyue silently counted in her heart, “One …” “Two …” Before he could count to three, Han Xing jumped down from the second floor and stood in front of Leng Qiyue.
Han Xingyue was originally asleep when he suddenly heard someone call out his name. He thought that someone was here to ruin the situation and jumped down without thinking. However, he saw Leng Qiyue and was immediately at a loss for what to do.
Seeing him in such a sorry state, Leng Qiyue chuckled and naturally went forward to help him tidy up his clothes.
When Han Xing finally regained his senses, Leng Qiyue was tying up his belt. His handsome face immediately flushed red as he jumped onto the second floor and ran back to his room. A moment later, Han Xing walked out, his clothes clean and tidy, his hair tied up in a bun. He looked refreshed.
Leng Qiyue walked up and grabbed his hand, pulling him out. As she walked, she said, “Take me to the Imperial Palace. I want to see Princess Changle.”
Han Xing’s handsome face turned red once more, but he did not retract his hand and allowed Leng Qiyue to hold onto him.
The two of them exited Phoenix Cry Phoenix and Han Xing pulled Leng Qiyue with him as they ran towards the west. It turned out that the imperial courtyard was outside the city. It took the two of them nearly two hours to walk out of the city before they saw a stretch of red walls and green tiles.
This courtyard was built against a mountain. The wall was ten feet high, so it was impossible to see inside.
Leng Qiyue saw that this place was heavily guarded. One person in ten steps, one person in a hundred steps. He could not help but gloomily say, “I never thought that this princess would have such a high profile.”
Han Xing laughed. “This is the emperor’s playground. It is usually so guarded. “Come with me, we’ll enter from the foot of the mountain over there.”
Leng Qiyue nodded and followed behind Han Xing. The end of the wall was buried inside the mountain, and the courtyard looked as if it had grown out of the mountain.
Han Xing looked at the sky and said, “This hour is the time to change shifts. I can enter from here just in time to avoid the guards on both sides. Let’s go.”
When Leng Qiyue saw that Han Xing had flipped over and entered, she did not ask any further and followed him in. They were just curious as to why Han Xing was so familiar with the courtyard.
The scenery in the courtyard was very fresh and filled with flowers. This made Leng Qiyue think of the sea of flowers in Han Xing’s house.
Han Xing smiled. “This guest courtyard is under my father’s care.”
Only then did Leng Qiyue suddenly understand. No wonder this kid was so familiar with the guards of the courtyard. He must have snuck in countless times in the past.
Leng Qiyue did not want to implicate Han Xing, so she said, “You can go back. I’ll take a walk myself.”
Han Xing said worriedly, “Let me accompany you. Even if I were to be caught, it would be good to get out of it.”
Leng Qiyue took out the Wandering Dragon Jade Pendant and said, “I have this, so I’m not afraid. On the other hand, if a commoner were to be caught, they will definitely be punished. You don’t want to make things difficult for your father, right? ”
Han Xing frowned. Indeed, he didn’t want to cause trouble for his father. Therefore, he said, “Okay, I will return to Feng and ask for your news.”
Leng Qiyue nodded and watched as the cold star flipped out of the wall. She looked around and saw that the guards had not arrived yet. She walked towards the house, found a random servant’s room and entered. There was no one inside. She saw a pile of clothes nearby and went to put them on. The servants in the courtyard were also palace maids, but the difference between their clothes and that of the Imperial Palace made them even more plain and light.
She walked over and saw a little girl, about eight or nine years old. She had a small round face, big watery eyes, and a small red mouth. She was a beauty. She was also wearing the clothes of a palace maid and was looking at her nervously.
Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes and asked with a smile, “Who are you?”
The girl blinked her large eyes and said, “I’m a new maid. Who’s big sister?”
Upon hearing that she was a newcomer, Leng Qiyue relaxed and said, “I’m also a newcomer, and haven’t been assigned a place yet. Where are you working from?”
The little girl walked out from behind the screen and said, “I didn’t split it either.”
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she said somewhat disappointedly, “I had originally wanted to ask you to take me for a walk, but you must be a newcomer that is no longer familiar with this place.”
The little girl’s eyes curved as she smiled: “What’s your name, sister?” My name is Xiao-Xiao. ”
Leng Qiyue reflexively replied, “Leng Qiyue …”
Xiaoxiao pulled her hand and said, “Sister Leng, let’s go out for a walk. We are palace maids anyway, so let’s just treat it as familiarizing with the environment.”
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment. She felt that her current attire should be fine. Even if she were to meet the guards, it was impossible for them to remember the appearance of every palace maid. So she nodded and took the smiling hand and went out the door.
This Royal Courtyard was very big. Other than the houses, there were hunting grounds on the mountain behind it. The enchanting scenery coupled with the beautiful palace maids made this place a truly good place for men to amuse themselves. Leng Qiyue couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. But… Earlier, I saw a palace maid that looked like Mu Fei … She must have seen wrongly!
Xiao Xiao suddenly pulled on Leng Qiyue and said, “Elder sister, I’m hungry.”
Leng Qiyue sniffed and said, “There’s the smell of food, the kitchen should be close by. Let’s go look around.”
Ye Zichen smiled and nodded, then sniffed along with Leng Qiyue to find the source of the fragrance.
The kitchen here was very big, just that the courtyard was deserted. It was probably due to the fact that it wasn’t time for lunch yet.
Leng Qiyue walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face. There were only two old eunuchs in the kitchen, drinking tea and chatting. There was a stew on the stove, and that was where the fragrance came from.
A kind-looking old eunuch saw them and laughed, “Are you two new here? It’s not time for dinner yet. There’s rice cakes over there.
She bit her lips and said, “It’s rice cake again. I’m sick of it.”
Leng Qiyue looked at the old eunuch and politely smiled, “Eunuch, can we get ourselves something to eat?”
The old eunuch sized up Leng Qiyue and said, “Go on, as long as you don’t disturb the ingredients. Also, you can’t touch those dried goods. There’s meat over there, go cook it yourself. ”
The old eunuch’s eyes flashed at Leng Qiyue’s smile, and he mumbled to himself, “I’ve never seen such a beautiful palace maid before. If the emperor comes, I’m afraid he’ll be taken into the harem.”
Leng Qiyue did not hear the old eunuch’s mutterings. She cut some thin shredded meat to get some flour and prepared to make a cut with a knife. She mixed up the noodles, put them aside, woke up, and began to make soup. It was minced meat and asparagus soup. The ingredients were simple and the cooking was easy.
After waking up, she began slicing the noodles into the boiling water. A moment later, the fragrant knife cut the noodles out of the furnace.
The old eunuch who had spoken earlier came over and asked, “Can you give me one?”
Leng Qiyue smiled. She simply made them work for four nights, one for each of them. It seemed like it was Xiaoxiao’s first time to eat this kind of noodles, she actually ate half of the bowl, and finally couldn’t eat anymore.
The two old eunuchs were already sweating profusely from eating, but they could not shut their mouths despite the heat. After the old eunuch finished eating, he wiped his mouth and said, “Little girl, this is really delicious. What is it called?”
Leng Qiyue smiled and said, “Cut the noodles!”
The old eunuch thought for a moment, then said, “This is not a good name. All of you look like little fish. Why don’t you call a group of fish to bathe in water?”
Leng Qiyue praised him, “Eunuch is such a literary person.”
The old man laughed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard an angry shout from the entrance: “Which courtyard are you from? This is too presumptuous. “
