Chapter 497 Entering the Lu Palace
Ming Jing was about to speak, when an old man ran over from behind, he smiled submissively and said, "They are my two nephews from the countryside, they only came to the city to help me these two days, they don't understand the rules of the palace, sir, don't blame him."
Ming Jing and Ming Wei looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Menzi obviously recognized the old man, his expression softened a bit, and he said, "You old man Li, you changed someone to deliver the firewood and didn't say a word. If I beat them, who would be the one to be unlucky?"
"Yes, yes, it's all the little old man's mistake. I blame me for not telling them in advance." The old man said as he took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into his hand, then glared at Ming Jing and Ming Wei, "Silly Deng Deng What are you doing in a daze, and you still haven't apologized to others!"
The two brothers hurriedly followed the example of the old man, nodding and bowing their heads to make amends.
The door got the money, and said: "Okay, move the things in, and come out immediately, don't delay. If you bump into the master and nobleman inside, no one will be offended!"
"Yes, we will come out after we put our things down."
The old man winked at the two brothers.
Ming Jing and Ming Wei quickly picked up their things and followed the old man in.
After walking for a while, Ming Jing asked in a low voice: "This uncle, who are you?"
"You two don't need to ask any more questions." The old man waved his hand, "I am Lao Li who often sends vegetables and firewood to Lu Wang's mansion, but Mr. Jin's family is kind to me, and he specially asked me to help you."
Mingjing and Mingwei suddenly realized.
It turned out that Jin Lan was helping them.
Ming Jing sighed: "It is worthy of being a person who is highly valued by His Royal Highness, and he is really thoughtful."
"That's right." Mingwei nodded.
Their Ming family belonged to the feudal officials in the frontier, so they were naturally arrogant in their hearts.
Although he was polite to Jin Lan when he came back, he didn't think he had much ability when he looked at his overly beautiful appearance. I thought the crown prince valued him only because of his relationship with the accompanying student and the crown princess.
Now it seems that Jin Lan is really a talent.
The two brothers carried firewood and entered the palace in silence.
Old Li said: "Whatever you two young masters want to do, go quickly. I'm here to play it perfunctory."
"I'll go by myself. I've been here before, so I know about it. Ming Wei, you take care of it here." Ming Jing said.
Mingwei nodded.
Ming Jing went to the backyard once when he was sending off his relatives, and following the direction he remembered, he quickly found the courtyard where Ming Xuan lived.
But he was dressed as a servant, although he was young, he was still a man, and the maid at the door couldn't let him in casually.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhao, a maid in the mansion who was married as a dowry, saw Ming Jing when she came out to pour water.
Startle her.
Ming Jing hurriedly shook his head at her.
Xiao Zhao covered her mouth, calmed down slowly, and hurriedly reprimanded the little maids loudly: "You lazy bastards, the former princess said to ask the servants to tidy up the plants in the yard, why haven't you found them yet? People? Hurry up and find a boy!"
The little maids didn't dare to talk back after being scolded, so they hurried out to look for it.
As a result, he saw the Mingjing at the door at a glance.
Although Ming Jing said that he was dressed as a servant, he was tall and handsome, and he was still outstanding.
Three or four servant girls immediately surrounded him, chattering: "Brother, which courtyard are you from? We have something to ask here, can you help?"
Ming Jing made it difficult: "I still have something to do..."
"Oh, what could be more important than our concubine's order? Come quickly!" Two servant girls, one on each side, forced him into the yard.
