"Master, did your feet often hurt before?" Xiao Ningzi asked in surprise.
Nala nodded and said, "Well, every time it was windy or rainy, my ankle would hurt like a needle. The imperial doctor looked at it, but said it was a problem in the bones and couldn't be cured." When it came to this, she felt the same.
Somewhat helpless, when Honghui died, she was so sad that she didn't care about anything, but she was left with hidden worries. She was young and didn't realize it at the time, but now that she's getting older, all her original hidden illnesses have surfaced one by one.
Xiao Ningzi was silent for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Master, please allow me to leave for a while."
I don't know if it was because he didn't care or what, Nalash didn't ask any more questions and just waved his hand to tell him to go.
Xiao Ningzi came back very quickly, holding a wooden bucket full of water in his hand, which was still steaming. After placing the bucket in front of Nala, he said: "Master, please listen to what you just said."
He must be suffering from rheumatism, and it happens that the slave knows a way to cure rheumatism, so he asked the master to give it a try."
Hearing that it could relieve the pain that had been bothering him for a long time, Nala couldn't help but become a little interested. He pointed at it and said, "This is the method you mentioned? It's just a little hot water. What effect can it have?"
Xiao Ningzi reached out and fished out a few slices of thickly sliced ginger from the bottom, "Ginger has the effect of promoting blood circulation and promoting qi, and is easier to evaporate in hot water. In addition, the slave has just massaged the master's legs.
, when the skeletal muscles are relaxed, the combination of the two can have an effect on rheumatism. In the past, my grandmother never suffered from rheumatism until she was old because of her daily persistence."
"Does it really have such a miraculous effect?" Nala was quite moved when he heard this.
Xiao Ningzi knelt at her feet and said seriously: "Excuse me, I must be honest. Even if rheumatism cannot be cured, it is definitely beneficial for Master to soak in hot water after pressing your legs."
Nala hesitated for a moment and said: "That's all, let me believe you for once." After saying that, Xiao Ningzi took off her shoes and socks for her and immersed her feet in the hot water. Xiao Ningzi poured a lot of water, and then
In addition, the barrel was deep, and the water reached Nala's calf.
Feeling the heat wrapping around his legs, Nala closed his eyes and said, "Did you get this water from Jade?"
Because the palace regularly supplies water, it is no longer as casual as before. The water sent by the Household Office every day is kept by Jade, and she will prepare it for every need, so I have this question.
"Yes, I went to find Aunt Jade, but what I received was my own water."
His words made Nala open her eyes slightly, "You didn't send much water. I'm afraid it's enough for one day. It's all been used by me. So what do you use?"
Xiao Ningzi hurriedly said: "I'm just a rough slave. All I need is water to drink. There are so many people in the palace and there's no way I can't ask for a mouthful. Master doesn't have to worry about the slave."
"Don't have any delusions about what is not yours, but it is easy to hold on to what is yours. Besides, I am not short of these. I will go to Jade later to get a copy and say it is my wish."
"Thank you, Master." Xiao Ningzi did not refuse anymore, but thanked obediently. Ever since he entered the inner hall to serve, he has been trying his best to please Nala. After the first few lessons, he learned to control his situation.
It is both pleasing to the people and not too displeasing to the Nala clan.
"Master, are you strong enough?" While soaking in hot water, Xiao Ningzi pinched Nala's feet that were not pinched just now.
Nala looked down at him and said, "Do you just want to ask this?"
Xiao Ningzi was startled, and then said with a flattering smile: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the master. I am just a little curious. Concubine Nian has been restored to the throne, and the emperor has allowed her to assist in the sixth palace. Master, aren't you worried?
?”
"Why should I be worried?" This question caught Xiao Ningzi off guard and she didn't know how to answer. While she was chattering, Na Lashi already said on his behalf: "Are you worried that Concubine Nian will get into trouble with me?
?Xiao Ningzi, your control is quite lenient!"
"The slave deserves to die! The slave deserves to die!" Xiao Ningzi heard that something was wrong, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty. The water droplets brought up by her palms when they pulled away from the barrel dripped on the flat gold bricks like a mirror, reflecting like transparent pearls.
Looking at the autumn sun falling into the temple, there is a kind of ignorant and bizarre beauty.
Xiao Ningzi secretly regretted that he talked too much. If he offended Nala and drove him out of the inner palace, then all the hard work he had done before would be in vain. No! He would never go back to the old days. He wanted to
Get ahead!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ningzi's mind suddenly became clearer. She lay on the ground and said in panic: "I am just worried about my master. I think that back then, the noble concubine was arrogant and rude, had no virtue and talent, and repeatedly offended the master. Now she is like this again.
I’m afraid…”
"Afraid of her?" Following these two words, a series of laughter escaped from Nala's mouth. It was not a sneer, nor disdain, nor indignation, just a simple laugh.
After a while, Nala stopped laughing, and her fingers, which were coated with a layer of light gold, crossed the corners of her eyes, and her fingertips were stained with a layer of moisture. Those were the tears from her laughter, "You really think the emperor is willing."
Do you want to be named Fu Nian?"
Isn't it? Xiao Ningzi thought this, but didn't dare to say it. She just raised her head carefully and looked at Nala with doubtful and humble eyes.
"The Emperor is well aware of how many wrong things Nian has done. He demoted her to the throne and was grounded in order to show mercy to her family and their long-standing friendship. If this continues, Nian will at least have a good death. I'm afraid it will be difficult now.
It's over." She flicked her nails and said nonchalantly: "We'll see, I believe it won't be long before we see the results. The higher she climbs, the more miserable she will be when she falls!"
She can't wait for this moment to come, I believe... I believe it will be wonderful.
Hearing this, Xiao Ningzi finally couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Master, are you saying that Concubine Nian has fallen out of favor a long time ago? Her current restoration is not the emperor's original intention?"
He was a little scared. The Emperor is the Son of Heaven and the most respected person in the world. How can someone force him to do something he doesn't want to do? This... this is too incredible.
"The previous dynasty had many obstacles, and there are still many things you don't know!" Although the Nala family was in the harem, they were not indifferent to the affairs of the previous dynasty. They repeatedly asked for Nian Gengyao to be reinstated.
I have heard about the matter.
Having high merit is a good thing, but if it shocks the master and makes you arrogant, it is a bad thing. So she concluded that the Nian family will not be prosperous for long, and without the support of the family, the Nian family will naturally be in this harem.
A complete defeat.
"But..." He ran his fingers through his hair and the beads on it, and said softly: "But I have been sick for so long, and it's time to get better now." He lowered his head and saw Xiao Ningzi still kneeling on the ground, and said coldly.
: "Get up and ask less about things you shouldn't ask in the future. Sanfu will never ask about these things. Learn more."
"Yes, I know." When he mentioned Sanfu, Xiao Ningzi was filled with resentment. He had not forgotten that the good master wanted to drive him out, but he did not dare to show such resentment on his face.
Now, he cannot be compared with the three blessings in terms of status or favor.
