After all, he was young. After some time, the wounds and flesh on Zhang Guiren's face had almost healed. With a thin layer of powder applied, nothing could be seen even if he got closer.
On this day, Zhang Guiren went to Kunning Palace with Ji Ling to pay his respects to the queen. On the way back, the two of them chatted casually and unknowingly wandered into the Imperial Garden.
Seeing that their masters were talking happily, Qixi and Maidong walked at full speed, dropped a little distance, and followed behind.
Qixi heard Zhang Guiren, and said to Ji Ling with a hint of coquettishness: "Sister, these days you are worried about the food in the dining room of Yonghe Palace. You send people to bring me meals every two days. You see, I
I have gained a lot of weight and my clothes are tight!"
As she spoke, she opened her arms slightly and spun around in front of Ji Ling.
Ji Ling took a closer look and saw that the waist of the flag dress was already a little tight and stretched on Zhang Guiren. He smiled and said: "I have recently made a few pieces. I want to be comfortable and the waist is not tightened."
, it’s quite loose, it should fit you just right, you can take it later!”
After she finished speaking, she saw Zhang Guiren standing by the lotus pond in the wind, with a rockery next to him.
There was a windy wave passing by, and the pond was filled with green lotuses and there was a west wind. Ji Ling was afraid that she would fall, so she waved and scolded gently: "Shengjian, come here, don't stand so close to the water!"
As expected, Zhang Guiren jumped over obediently and waited until he was beside Ji Ling.
Like a child, she smiled sideways and hugged Ji Ling's arm. She was like a little bear, almost leaning on her.
Ji Ling smiled and stretched out his hand to rub the top of her head, hugged her into his arms, pinched her double chin, and said word by word: "Shengjian...you are indeed fat!"
Maidong was used to his master's usual frown when he was in Yonghe Palace, so he carefully suppressed it. Since Ning Bin's resignation, although his master was much happier than before, there was still a lingering shadow in his eyes.
Only in front of the auspicious nobles, the master will show some girlish childishness.
Maidong thought again of how well Mr. Ji had taken care of his master, and couldn't help but cast his grateful eyes on Ji Ling.
At this time, the sun was rising high. Ji Ling and Zhang Guiren stood in the shadow next to the rockery. They looked at each other for a moment, and both felt warm in their hearts.
In this warm atmosphere, I heard a voice laughing and laughing not far away. The voice was very delicate, and it sounded like the speaker was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Ji Ling originally accompanied Shengjian to visit the Imperial Garden. When she heard someone coming, she took Zhang Guiren's hand and prepared to take her back to Yonghe Palace.
But I heard the man laugh with a bit of disdain, and said in a sweet voice: "No! Although Mr. Ji Gui's nose and eyes are still pretty straight, he doesn't have an outstanding appearance after all. Not to mention the Forbidden City, even on the streets.
If you take a walk, you can find one or two girls like this out of ten!"
The sound on the water was the most distant. The man was standing next to a pavilion by the lotus pond, so naturally he couldn't see Ji Ling and Zhang Guiren behind the rockery.
She probably thought her voice was not loud, but she didn't know it had reached Ji Ling's ears.
When Zhang Guiren heard her talking about Ji Ling like this, he frowned angrily and said in a low voice: "Sister! What kind of palace is this frivolous thing who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth?"
Ji Ling gently raised her hand, put it on Zhang Guiren's mouth, and whispered: "In the harem, there is as much slander as there is favor."
I heard another female voice who was also very young, but her voice was softer. She giggled and said: "An Changzai, you are right! Look at Ji Guiren's face, with a small nose, small eyes and small mouth.
, just blindly petty! In terms of beauty and splendor, who in this harem can compare to our Nian Fei!"
Concubine Nian? Concubine Nian is also there?
Ji Ling frowned, and heard An Changzai, who had spoken earlier, murmur again: "The emperor probably saw too many beauties and got tired of them, so he fell in love with Ji Guiren. He ate too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he also wanted porridge and side dishes.
The horse is always there, don't you think?"
It turns out that the people who spoke were An Changzai and Ma Changzai.
Ji Ling gently raised her toes and rubbed her heels unconsciously on the gravel floor with the bottom of the flower pot. She lined up the women in the harem one by one in her mind, and thought about it for a long time before she remembered that at the birthday banquet of Concubine Nian
One day it seemed that two girls came to greet me.
It's just that the presence of these two Chang Zai is too low on weekdays. The Queen's Kunning Palace greets her, and those with lower qualifications than nobles are not allowed to enter the palace at all.
If her name hadn't been mentioned, she wouldn't have been able to remember it at all.
Just listen to Ma Changzai say: "No! Nian Fei, the maids and concubines are just looking at the emperor for a moment. No matter how delicious the porridge and side dishes are, eating too much will be boring! Treat the emperor well.
After living for a while, I will naturally think of the benefits of my empress."
Ji Ling's heart trembled: Empress? Concubine Nian is here too?
The two young Chang Zai actually got close to Concubine Nian... Could it be that Concubine Nian lost Ning Bin's arm and was eager to recruit talents?
Ji Ling and Zhang Guiren looked at each other.
Zhang Guiren obviously had something in mind with Ji Ling. She put her hand to her mouth, smiled disdainfully, and said, "Sister, Concubine Nian is 'not selective about food' when she is hungry."
Concubine Nian's voice finally sounded slowly, and there was a third part of alienation, a third part of ridicule, and a third part of laziness in her voice.
She said in a condescending and cold voice: "How old are you two? You are trying to learn from the women in the harem, but you can't learn from them. You are like a human and a monkey! I almost burst out laughing after hearing this.
Oh, I’m so embarrassed for you!”
Concubine Nian has always been so merciless when speaking.
An Changzai and Ma Changzai started chatting for a while. You pushed me, and I pushed you for a long time.
Ma Changzai smiled apologetically and said: "Concubine Nian has really wronged me with her words! How can I learn from others? This is the way it should be. The whole palace is looking at this situation, and everyone is thinking about it.
Aren’t you fair?
The empress is so beautiful and beautiful, but her beard was cut off by a nobleman who got up from the hospital bed. If the maid and concubine were to tell me... the nobleman wished that he could occupy the emperor alone. She is a fox at heart! Bah! She is not shy or impetuous.
, very bad!"
Concubine Nian gritted her teeth and said, "Well said!"
An Changzai looked at the happy expression on Concubine Nian's face, fearing that she would fall behind, so he quickly cursed a few words, but his words gradually became unpleasant to listen to.
Zhang Guiren never expected that these two little girls...who were younger than himself, had as rich a vocabulary as a shrew in the city.
She was raised in a boudoir, and some dirty words had never been heard before. At this time, a string of dirty words came into her ears, and she was so angry that her face turned red and she clenched her fists.
She turned to look at Ji Ling, and saw Ji Ling pursed her lips and had a blank expression on her face, which seemed a bit like the emperor's usual look.
But when Concubine Nian screamed in surprise, Ma Changzai and An Changzai quickly grabbed her and said: "Be careful, Madam!"
Ji Ling took a step forward slightly and looked over there, and saw that the concubine was not sitting on the stone stool in the pavilion. Instead, she asked a young eunuch to kneel on her hands and feet to make a human-shaped stool.
He sat directly on the eunuch's back.
The little eunuch must have been holding on for a long time, and his hands and feet were sore and numb. He couldn't hold on for a while and almost dropped Concubine Nian.
