I'm the substitute and I'm with the real master

But seeing He Xulan's matter, he had to figure it out slowly.

Xue Ya thought, he must first understand what He Xulan likes and dislikes, what He Xulan is good at and what he is not good at.Although he didn't read much, when they Hongyuelou chose the oiran, they would first understand the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents.

But now he is only a palace man and has no chance to see He Xulan at all.

Xue Ya stared at the dark purple skirt on the table, gritted her teeth, changed into that dress, and walked out of the room.

As soon as she walked out of the room, Xue Ya noticed someone stopped at the door of his room. When she saw him coming out, she was startled for a moment, and then she curled her mouth, as if extremely disdainful, "Your Majesty is in the imperial study."

When Xue Ya saw the man's expression, she was a little angry at first, but then she thought about why he was angry with these little shrimps. His real opponent was He Xulan.

So, instead of making a bad face, Xue Ya smiled at the man, "Thank you."

Seeing him smiling, the man was startled again, but Xue Ya was no longer in the mood to care what the little eunuch was thinking, he was going to Cui Lingjing's place.

Although Cui Lingjing used him as a stand-in, maybe if he did well, the stand-in might become a regular.It would be even better if he could discover some of He Xulan's unknown secrets, such as the fact that He Xulan is actually one of the most infamous...

Xue Ya frowned, no matter how bad He Xulan was, she should be better than him, he didn't even know a few words.

No, he can't grow other people's ambitions, he must be better than He Xulan, and more worthy of liking, such as dancing and singing ditties?

None of these seem to be on the table.

Xue Ya's raised chin slowly pressed down, and he walked to the door of the imperial study with his head downcast, and regained his strength when he entered.It seemed that Cui Lingjing had just left the court, and he didn't even change his dragon robe. He was sitting on the dragon chair, and when he heard the movement, his eyelids slightly lifted, and his eyes swept Xue Ya's face a few times before looking down.

After looking at the whole person, Cui Lingjing withdrew his gaze, "Grind the ink."

Xue Ya's eyes flickered, and he walked slowly to the desk. He looked at the inkstone on the table and the ink ingots engraved with exquisite dragon patterns, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to the ink ingots.

He doesn't know how to grind ink, so he can only try to grind it.

But unexpectedly, after just two strokes, he threw the ink out, leaving a long trace on the table.Xue Ya froze all over, and raised her eyes to look at Cui Lingjing, as expected, the other party was already looking at him with deadly eyes.

Before Cui Lingjing got angry, he took out the handkerchief in his sleeve to wipe the ink on the table, and whispered, "Slaves don't know how to grind."

If he hadn't had the dream last night, Xueya probably wouldn't have said that, but after he had the dream, even though he knew that he would end up wrapped in straw mats, the dream also told him that after he smashed Cui Lingjing and He Xulan expressed his love Before, he couldn't die.

Hearing this, Cui Lingjing frowned, feeling disgusted, "You don't even know how to grind ink, what is Father keeping you by his side?"

"Sing a song." Xue Ya carefully wiped off the ink stains on the table, "Your servant can sing ditty songs, and you can sing ditties everywhere, Your Majesty, would you like to hear them?"

Cui Lingjing sneered, "What kind of skill is singing ditties."

"But the first emperor loved to hear the slaves sing songs..." Before she finished speaking, Xueya raised her hand to cover her head, because Cui Lingjing seemed to be getting angry, she grabbed a memorial on the table and pulled it towards him.

"How dare you block it!" Cui Lingjing squeezed the memorial in his hand, "Let go of your hand."

Xue Ya could only let go of her hand, and sure enough, as soon as she let go, she was hit hard on the head.

After the beating, Cui Lingjing felt a little more relaxed, and even the anger she suffered from the early morning dissipated a lot.Those courtiers gave him advice at every turn, and started to mention the draft again.

What annoyed him the most was that even He Xulan asked him to draft.

Thinking of this, Cui Lingjing looked at Xueya again, and said for a moment: "You go and send this thing to Ningfu Palace."

Cui Lingjing pulled the desk drawer, took out a brocade box and put it on the table.

Xue Ya didn't go there alone to deliver things, besides him, there was someone accompanying him, but that person had to order him to be sent to Ningfu Palace. As for sending the brocade box to He Xulan, that was Xue Ya's business.

Cui Lingjing specifically instructed Xueya to meet He Xulan.

Xue Ya was actually quite happy, after all, he had just dozed off when someone handed him a pillow, but he was also a little worried about He Xulan's attitude when he saw him.He didn't actually dream of He Xulan much in his dreams, but he couldn't give up this hard-won opportunity.

Walking all the way to the gate of Ningfu Palace, Xue Ya and the others explained their intentions to the Ningfu Palace, and specially emphasized Cui Lingjing's oral instructions.

This is Xueya's second visit to Ningfu Palace, and her mood is a little different from the first time.The first time he was only concerned about fear, he didn't look at Ningfu Palace at all. Now that he looked at it, he found that Ningfu Palace was really quiet and elegant. Fengrui Palace is better.

But Ningfu Palace also has a place that makes him very uncomfortable, that is, the town hall ridge beast in the main hall of Ningfu Palace is not an ordinary beast that avoids fire, but a row of four images, neither like a dragon nor like a phoenix. But they seem to have chains on their feet.

Xueya couldn't see clearly, thinking that maybe he had misread the chain.

How could anyone chain up a spine beast?

Just as she was thinking, Xue Ya had already stepped on the steps of the main hall and was about to go into the main hall.The palace guide stopped at the door, "The Queen Mother is inside."

Xue Ya whispered thanks, and went in through the half-open hall door.The hall was quiet, as if there was no one there, and his originally calm mood suddenly became tense. Although he wanted to replace He Xulan, after all, the other party was the Empress Dowager now, mainly because he was not favored by Cui Lingjing.

Thinking of this, Xue Ya changed her mind. He must first establish a good relationship with He Xulan, and then find a way to sow discord between the other party and other people, and finally achieve the purpose of replacing him, instead of rushing forward foolishly at the beginning, let The other party perceives his true thoughts.

Ok……

Just do it.

Walking in step by step, when she reached the inner hall, Xue Ya finally saw the He Xulan who was liked by many people.

He Xulan was wearing a light blue dress with wide sleeves, facing him sideways, holding a brush in one hand, and clutching the cuffs with the other, standing in front of the table, as if she was drawing.The sunlight outside the window shines in through the carved wooden window, and sprinkles half the table with gold.

Even Xue Ya, who regarded He Xulan as an enemy, couldn't help being stunned when she saw this scene.

The exiled fairy that the storyteller talks about is someone like He Xulan?

He shook his head violently, secretly cursing himself for having the ambition of others, and after calming down, he took the brocade box and went to He Xulan's side.Probably hearing his footsteps, He Xulan stopped his movements and looked sideways.

He Xulan's eyes were very pale, and they became even paler against the slightly bright sunlight.When he saw Xueya in Ruqun, his eyebrows seemed to twitch.And Xue Ya couldn't help but pause when the other party saw it like this.

Xue Ya lowered his head, exhaled lightly, and then continued to walk forward. He walked to the table with his head down, saluted first, and then put the brocade box on the table with both hands, "Queen Mother, this is a gift from Your Majesty to the Queen Mother." of."

When playing, he quickly glanced at what He Xulan was drawing.

It turned out to be a landscape painting.

He Xulan didn't look at the brocade box on the table, as if she wasn't interested, she just turned her eyes back to the painting and continued painting.

Xueya found that He Xulan didn't let him go down, and immediately warmed up. He looked at He Xulan's desk, and pretended to be enthusiastic and said: "My slave will help the Queen Mother grind ink."

He Xulan didn't even raise his eyelids, "You know how to grind ink?"

Xueya was beaten on the head by Cui Lingjing just now because of the grinding of ink, and he was a little hesitant when asked by the other party, but he was unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "Yes."

"Then grind it down." He Xulan said.

Seeing this, Xue Ya immediately walked to the inkstone with a smile, and while picking up the ink ingot on the table, he secretly glanced at He Xulan.Some people are good-looking from the front, but not necessarily good-looking from the side, but he sadly found that He Xulan's profile is also very good-looking, the drooping eyelashes hide a lake, like mountains and peaks, under the bridge of the nose, passing over the lips, it is well-curved jaw.

Xue Ya was a little unhappy, and continued to peek at He Xulan, trying to find out the flaws in the other's appearance.But he was so busy taking sneak peeks at He Xulan that he didn't give his attention to his inkstone at all.

When He Xulan frowned slightly and looked at him, he quickly calmed down and looked at the inkstone. Only when he saw the inkstone did Xue Ya realize what he had done.

There was ink all over the side of the inkstone, even his own hands and sleeves were stained.

Xue Ya froze all over, standing where she didn't know what to do, and He Xulan didn't make a sound.

If it's Cui Lingjing, if you don't hit him at this time, you should scold him.

Xue Ya was so nervous that she couldn't help licking her lower lip, and then took out the handkerchief in a panic, but when he took out the handkerchief, he found that the handkerchief was dirty when he wiped the ink on Cui Lingjing's desk.

While he was looking at the dirty handkerchief, He Xulan said, "Come here."

Soon, someone from the palace came in, "Queen Dowager."

"Clean up here." He Xulan said.

Xue Ya saw someone approaching him, so she couldn't help but get out of the way. The man was nimble and quickly cleaned up. Seeing the ink ingot put down by Xue Ya, "Does the Queen Mother need someone to grind the ink? Come here, my servant."

He Xulan said: "No, you take him down to clean it."

Xue Ya looked at her own dirty fingers, so she could only follow the palace man to wash her hands first.After washing his hands, he said again: "Your Majesty asked me to watch the Empress Dowager open the brocade box. The Empress Dowager hasn't opened it yet. I'll go in again."

The palace servants seemed to believe this story, and put Xueya back into the palace.Xue Ya entered the palace again, and found that He Xulan was no longer painting, but was sitting in front of the guqin. Seeing the guqin, Xueya immediately became confident, stepped forward, and summoned up her courage: "Is the queen mother going to play the piano? Slave Can sing ditties, which can cheer up the Empress Dowager."

Finally when it was time for him to show his special skills, Xue Ya couldn't help laughing, and the two dimples on the corners of her lips appeared.

But He Xulan refused.

"Need not."

Xue Ya's face instantly collapsed, he looked at He Xulan eagerly, seeing that the other party ignored him, he turned to look at the table, the brocade box was still there.There is a mechanism lock on the brocade box, which needs to be unlocked to open the brocade box. It seems that the brocade box has not been opened yet.

"Don't the Empress Dowager look at that brocade box?" He whispered.

He Xulan raised his eyes, his eyes seemed a little cold, Xue Ya instinctively wanted to retreat when he met such a gaze, but he held back, and even smiled again, not only smiled, but also proposed again: "The Queen Mother really doesn't want to hear A ditty? The minion sings a ditty very nicely."

"Your Majesty told you to watch me open the brocade box?" He Xulan did not answer Xue Ya's words, but asked instead.

Cui Lingjing did not give such orders.

Xueya used Cui Lingjing's statement that he wanted him to watch He Xulan open the brocade box to deceive the palace people outside, but when facing He Xulan, she changed the statement.

"Your Majesty didn't give such orders, it's a slave... I feel kind to the queen mother when I see it, like my brother." He knelt on the ground immediately after saying this, "I don't dare to have a relationship with the queen mother, it's just... just seeing the queen mother I can't help but get close."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head slightly and looked at He Xulan with watery eyes.

None of Xue Ya's words were true, but he seemed to be very true when he thought he was lying. For example, the first emperor, he always used lies to deceive the first emperor, and the first emperor believed it.

As the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the late emperor could believe his lies, so He Xulan, a pampered son, should be able to believe it.

But Xue Ya didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, he saw the mockery in He Xulan's eyes.

But the sarcasm in He Xulan's eyes came and disappeared quickly, making Xueya wonder if she was wrong.And He Xulan's next reaction made him even more incomprehensible.

He Xulan even smiled, "What a coincidence, I think you feel kind too, since you regard me as an older brother, why don't you sit by my side?"

The author has something to say:

As for why Xue Ya wanted to jump in front of the rightful master He Xulan so much, it was because low-rank vicious green tea cannon fodder all did this.

Xueya:? ? ?I am not cannon fodder!

Xueya (hypocrisy): Brother~

He Xulan (hypocrisy +1): younger brother~

Xueya: ... Hypocrisy! ! !
