Ji Ling entered Jingyang Palace, and as soon as he turned around and stepped into the door of the east courtyard, a group of servants in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and came forward to bow and kneel.
In the dining room, the water in the pot was boiling loudly. Xiao Dazi and Xiao Lezi were making calamus cakes and fan cakes, and they were covered in flour.
Xiao Lezi vaguely heard the movement outside, turned around and propped up the window cover and glanced outside. He immediately wiped his hands on his bib, threw the rolling pin to Xiao Dazi, and said hastily: "You take it first
Stay!".
Xiao Dazi was bending down and laboriously tending the stove fire, with a smoky look on his face. When he heard this, he said anxiously: "You can't leave, the fire is at a critical moment! How can one less person take care of it!"
”.
How could Xiao Lezi pay attention to him? He took off his bib, threw it on the chopping board, and hurried out.
After Nian Fei and Ning Fei, Ji Ling came back and looked at the people in his yard and felt particularly friendly.
She asked her slaves to get up and asked casually: "Did you all get the rice dumplings during the festival today?".
Before Xiao Fenzi had time to reply, Xiao Lezi was coming out of the dining room. As soon as Ji Ling finished speaking, Xiao Lezi stepped forward and said with a smile: "If you want to get back to the master, the father-in-laws in the imperial dining room have given everyone in the twelve palaces in the east and west."
Rewards were distributed, and the slaves took advantage of the master. Naturally, each of them had two rice dumplings, two salt water ingots, two palace ingots, and a bat-wrapped scented medicine bag."
Xiao Fenzi glanced at him coldly.
Xiao Lezi was so familiar with all the family treasures that he wanted to continue talking when he saw that Mr. Ji had already turned to Qixi and told Qixi: "Please share the rice dumplings you brought back to everyone later."
Qixi nodded and said in a low voice: "Master, would you like me to prepare some cakes, porridge and rice, and send them to Kunning Palace when no one is paying attention? I'm afraid Zhang Guiren will not have any food for dinner!".
Ji Ling immediately shook his head and said: "Absolutely not! Since the emperor is punished to kneel, and he is kneeling in such a conspicuous place as Kunning Palace, there are still many informants watching overtly and secretly. If we deliver meals to her and let others see it,
It’s just hurting her!”.
She paused and said: "Fortunately, the Queen was merciful and knelt down until the first quarter of Wu Shi, so it was not too late. Although today was an unintentional disaster, it was a blessing to have such a result. There is nothing we can do about punishing you by kneeling down.
, I can only let Shengjian endure it for a while."
The two of them walked towards the main room while talking.
Bixue opened the curtain and went to arrange hot water towels for her master to wash his face.
Ji Ling leaned forward and sat down on the couch. Only then did he feel that this tumultuous day had finally come to a place where he could finally relax completely.
Not long after, Bixue brought hot water towels in and went to make arrangements for dinner. Only Ji Ling and Qixi master and servant were left in the room.
Qixi whispered: "Master, I really couldn't tell in the past. Although Concubine Ning doesn't like you, Master, Jingyang Palace and Yonghe Palace have always been in harmony with each other. Master, you are tolerant to her, why should you?
Are you going to embarrass the master today? Let alone Zhang Guiren, who is still from her Yonghe Palace!"
While twisting the towel, she whispered: "If there is any special occasion, it is the last birthday of Concubine Nian, the former master of Yikun Palace, you and Concubine Ning just refuted it, and then Concubine Qi came out too.
Got the solution?".
Ji Ling took the towel, lowered his head and wiped his hands, and said expressionlessly: "It has nothing to do with these trivial matters! It must be Concubine Nian's intention to attack me today. Concubine Ning is just following her orders.
You just pushed Zhang Guiren to hit me."
She threw the towel back to Qixi and said: "Concubine Ning is not favored in the first place. Even if she hates me, she doesn't want to risk her life to attack me. This business is not a good deal!
But if it were a Nian concubine, it would be different."
Qixi raised her head and listened to Ji Ling thinking slowly and said: "It is said that Concubine Nian was favored in the past. Although I have not seen the situation before, she should be used to Concubine Nian's appearance and the help of the Nian family.
The stars are holding the moon, and the scenery is infinite."
Your Majesty has been visiting me a lot now. Not only has she received a cold reception, but according to her temperament, I am afraid that she has offended many people in the past. There is never a shortage of people in the harem who can laugh at the jokes. If someone tries to instigate a few words, they have the intention to do so.
Adding fuel to the flames, how could the Nian Concubine not hate me so much?".
She paused, pointed out the window, and said: "In this Forbidden City, there is no fashion. Whoever gets a little favor from the emperor will be on the cusp of the storm. But I really didn't expect that Concubine Nian would be so indifferent."
, the attack was too ruthless!”.
Qixi raised her head to look at her master, and heard Ji Ling say solemnly: "Today, the emperor suppressed it for me. But you have to know, how could Concubine Nian just want to make me look embarrassed?
She instructed Concubine Ning to push Guiren Zhang, who bumped into me in order to make me accidentally shoot and hurt someone. Everyone in the palace was watching. No matter who I hurt, it would be a big disaster, not to mention that the emperor and the empress were also present.
, if I hurt the emperor or the queen...
Qixi only reacted after being exposed by her master. At this moment, Fang felt frightened. She couldn't help but have a look of horror on her face, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Ji Ling said in a low voice: "She came here for the lives of my whole family!".
"She let her do the math, but she didn't expect that it would be Princess Hehui who was hurt in the end! So she followed the trend and said that I was guilty of killing the princess! But she was too impatient, fearing that this statement was untenable! So she pushed her hard again.
The affairs between my father and Prince Yi’s subordinates are delusional and convincing.”
When Ji Ling said this, he swallowed, lay back, put his hands behind his head, but remained silent.
The heart of an emperor is unfathomable. It is said that the emperor has always disliked his concubines talking about the affairs of the previous dynasty. The fact that the concubine Nian was well aware of official promotions was enough to make the emperor suspicious.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
It had already become dark.
The scorching heat of the day has now disappeared, and the evening breeze carries a bit of coolness. I saw the ministers coming in and out, and finally.
After seeing off the last few ministers, Su Peisheng turned around, walked through the palace doors and curtains, walked to the inner room, and reminded Yin in a low voice: "Your Majesty, would you like to have some food? Although political affairs are important, take care of yourself.
The body is also important!".
Yin only said: "I'm not hungry." Then he said with a tired face: "Is the queen still with He Hui?".
Su Peisheng said: "Back to the emperor, the queen has come back a long time ago. She said that the princess fell asleep after drinking medicine in the afternoon. It is rare for her to be obedient!".
After hearing this, Yin's face showed a hint of relief, and said again: "Those servants around the princess are useless and cannot protect the master. Train them well!" Su Peisheng quickly agreed. But the emperor heard
Then he said: "Is Mr. Ji in Kunning Palace?"
Su Peisheng was startled, and immediately turned around and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, the emperor is really good at predicting things! Mr. Ji has gone to visit Mr. Zhang! The Queen wanted to beg someone just now, saying that Mr. Zhang would kneel down until the eighth hour.
It’s over.”.
Yin's face was indifferent and he only said: "It is said that the auspicious nobleman has come to Yangxin Palace."
