But then I thought about the packed house on the Dragon Boat Festival day, and I felt that Qiu Ming’s words made sense!
"You tell everyone not to tell anyone what happened today. It's just what His Majesty said on the spur of the moment. It's not good for outsiders to know about it. You don't have to think that we, Xianyi Palace, are rushing to get there. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, little master, I will explain this matter myself."
Now that her position has been established, it stands to reason that she can add one or two more rough maids or eunuchs.
But Lin Wanyi felt that four people were enough to serve him. If there were more people, there would be more talk, so it was better to have less contamination.
However, Qiu Ming persuaded her and asked the Inner Court Department to prepare it and wait until the right one was selected before sending it over.
The person who handled it was naturally entrusted to Eunuch Qin.
"My master's position is much more than this. I will have to recruit some people in the future. It is difficult to find servants and maids who are useful and willing to learn, so I'd better let Eunuch Qin keep an eye on you first, so as not to let others take advantage of the loophole."
"Eunuch Qiu, how about you have a bowl of green head soup?"
After a bowl of mung bean soup without sugar, Xia An felt much better.
"I made your mung bean soup alone without adding sugar. Try it."
"Hey, didn't I have time? You always drink cold water as soon as you come in, aren't you afraid of diarrhea?"
On weekdays, I either do needlework or take good care of my body, and don't care about anything outside the window.
"Who knows? Maybe he is remembering things from the past."
Needless to say, Concubine Lin and Concubine Yi are also going, but Concubine Lan and Concubine Ying, who are pregnant, are also going. Now four places are gone, and the remaining ones naturally become the target of competition.
Not surprisingly, Lin Wanyi's name appeared on the list.
The purpose is nothing more than hoping that I can become one of the candidates to accompany the driver.
Throughout May, the city of Shengjing seemed to be roasted by a furnace and immersed in a heat wave.
Xiaoluzi immediately hissed, not daring to make a mistake.
At this point, most of the places have been filled.
As a result, everyone was dumbfounded when she opened her mouth.
On this day, Qiu Ming went straight to the small kitchen and took a bowl of cold water and drank it directly. There were beads of sweat on his forehead at any time, and his face was much darker than the previous few days.
"Okay, you should rest for a while, you have to run for such a long time on a hot day."
Even jokes like "you are old" can often be said.
"It's okay, it's just too hot outside, but it'll be fine when we get to the palace."
"yes."
Chunqi and Xia An couldn't help but admire Qiu Ming's rules.
"How did I explain it before? And I forgot it again?"
Xiaoluzi's words were spoken from the bottom of his heart.
Now, Chunqi and Qiu Ming are quite familiar with each other.
"Where is Xiaoluzi? Haven't you come back from the imperial kitchen yet?"
Qiu Ming frowned and took it and drank it all in one gulp. This mung bean soup was more comfortable than cold water, and he instantly felt that the heat in his body had gone away.
"I just sent Madam He away, and it made my throat hurt."
Leng Buding was stabbed at some point, and she didn't want to die so early, so she immediately nodded and agreed to Qiu Ming's suggestion.
Indeed, if there is a slave in the palace who betrays his master, it is tantamount to leaving his back to the enemy.
"My master is going to look for you as soon as he wakes up. He wants to ask you how Qingmei's preparations are going?"
"Why do you suddenly want to make this green plum wine, little master?"
"Okay, after drinking the mung bean soup, just wait at the gate of the palace. I see that Lady He is not an easy person to get rid of. I don't know when she will come again."
"Eunuch Qiu, are you there too?"
Qiu Ming's reminder made Lin Wanyi alert.
Ice was put on many places in the imperial city, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
It is great to follow this palace rule by example at all times.
Everyone in the palace was lazing around in their own palaces, and there was a rare peace in the entire palace.
Chunqi was afraid of being scolded, so he hurriedly handed over the mung bean soup to relieve the heat.
In the past few days, Qiu Ming had blocked many other concubines who came to see Lin Wanyi. There is no need to explain the purpose.
Qiu Ming was not a harsh person. Although everyone in the palace was aware of this matter, it was better not to say it out of their mouths, otherwise it would be like being too arrogant.
Lin Wanyi didn't even go out much because she was recuperating from her injuries.
She rarely sweats on weekdays, but these past two days it was so hot that she kept wiping her forehead and temples carefully with a handkerchief, which made her really depressed.
Seeing that the three of them were here, Xiaoluzi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and immediately handed the silk package to Xia An.
"No, the young master sent him to go to the satin warehouse and bring back some silk threads. The emperor's daily clothes use a lot of threads, so there is not enough."
"Xiaoluzi hasn't come back yet, so I don't know how much Qingmei can get back?"
Chunqi listened to the two talking and handed a bowl to Xia An.
Xiao Luzi's figure whirled in from outside, holding a wrapped silk thread in his hand and a small backpack on his back, which contained the green plum Lin Wan wanted.
Xia An smiled, Chun Qi looked carefree, but in fact he was very careful, especially when it came to food, he clearly remembered everyone's hobbies and taboos.
Taking advantage of the loophole, he almost didn't mention clearly what Concubine Lin sent someone here last time.
Originally, he was sent to do some other things, but in the end he had to make a trip to the warehouse.
Chun Qi pouted, looked at Xia An and asked curiously.
By chance, while the two were talking, Xia An walked in from outside.
Xia An didn't know many things in the past. Yuan Chunqi grew up with Lin Wanyi, so he should know more.
"You didn't tell me earlier."
No wonder he hasn't come back after so long.
"Eunuch Qiu's ability to block people is really impressive. He has to refuse without making people feel uncomfortable. You are not listening. What you said, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it even if I ask him again. come out!"
"Sister Xia An, please give it to the young master. Don't smoke her because I'm so smelly and sweaty."
Qiu Ming left first, Xiaoluzi stuck out his tongue and looked okay, making Chunqi and Xia An laugh.
Qiu Ming glanced at Xiao Luzi and his expression became serious again.
"Well, come and have a bowl of mung bean soup."
"Come, come, finally I'm back."
After the news spread that the emperor was going to the palace, everyone in the palace seemed to have found a new boiling point and became lively again.
Working under Qiu Ming was a great way to learn a lot, so he hurriedly drank the mung bean soup and trotted outside again.
Xia An shook his head, he was still a child at heart.
"You and I should give the things to the little master to take a look at."
"Okay, this green plum looks good in color, I think my little master will like it."
The two of them walked towards the main house hand in hand, one holding a basket in one hand and the other holding a silk thread.
