Early on the next morning, Ji Ling accompanied Yin to breakfast in the Yangxin Palace, and then took Qilin back to Jingyang Palace.
Qixi helped her into the back room, knelt down and helped her change into embroidered slippers, then raised her head and asked her: "Master, yesterday I was in the imperial garden. Is it difficult to hear the Queen talking to you? What did the Queen mean?
Do you want to suggest that you intercede on behalf of Lady Hai so that the emperor can restore her to her position?"
She didn't wait for Ji Ling to answer, and frowned again and said: "The slave was listening and thinking in his heart: This should be what he meant."
Qixi couldn't hold back when he said this, and said to himself: "Master, that can't be done! Before you fell ill and didn't go to bed, the emperor would also go to Hai Guiren. How many pairs of pairs in the harem are there?
Looking at it with eyes, he said that Hai Guiren is the next Nian Fei empress!
If you really have the temperament of Concubine Nian, that's all. But Hai Guijun is also a manipulator. Master, if you really intercede for Hai Guiren, you will just shoot yourself in the foot!"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head in frustration: "Alas!"
Ji Ling's eyes had already caught sight of him picking up the milk cake he had just brought back from Yangxin Hall on the table next to him. The milk cake looked like snow and was cut into palm-sized slices.
Use chopsticks to pick up a piece. The two ends of the milk cake are constantly shaking on the tips of the chopsticks. Because there is potato starch inside, it is very elastic.
This was served for breakfast in the rear hall of the Yangxin Hall. Because she liked it so much, the imperial kitchen brought out two large plates in a blink of an eye, put them in food boxes, packed them carefully, and sent them to Jingyang Palace for her.
I had eaten a full plate at the Yangxin Hall just now, and now I feel a little hungry again when I come back.
Ji Ling squinted her eyes and put it into her mouth, feeling the taste of the milk cake blooming little by little on her tongue. The taste was silky and sweet, somewhat similar to the texture of eating cheese sandwich.
She sighed for a long time: "The craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen in Yangxin Hall is really good!"
Qixi said with a bitter face: "Master, are you still in the mood to eat?"
Ji Ling didn't explain much to her while chewing.
Finally, after swallowing the milk cake, she pursed her lips, turned to Qixi and said, "I know everything you said, and I'm not stupid!"
She didn't open her mouth, so the Uranala family naturally had other methods. The gods crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. There was always a way to get the Hai family to come out from the Five Ganxi Institutes.
Ji Ling was not so naive as to think that Uranala was counting on her plea.
But after looking at Haishi's behavior of copying blood menstruation, and then thinking about Yin's expression when someone mentioned his adoptive mother last night, he knew that the path the queen pointed out to Haishi was correct.
Ji Ling thought of the pair of bright moons that the queen had rewarded her with before, and couldn't help but touch her earlobes, and thought to herself: That person from Kunning Palace is planning to keep an eye on Queen Xiao Yiren's surroundings and not let go!
Bixue squatted at the door and said that it was Xiao Dazi who handed over the message. Regarding the lunch menu, I would like to ask your noble master to give me instructions.
As she spoke, she reported the fresh ingredients prepared in the dining room today.
Ji Ling listened attentively to her report, held her head in her hands and thought for a while, then said: "I want hot and sour potato shreds, vinegar lotus root slices... I don't really want to eat meat today, I just want to eat glutinous rice with some sprinkles on it."
The minced dough sticks and glutinous rice must be soft."
Bi Xue responded in a whisper, writing down everything. Seeing that Ji Ling had no other instructions, she turned around, quietly opened the door curtain and went out.
When they arrived at the dining room, Bixue talked to Xiao Dazi. After hearing this, Xiao Dazi patted his head and blurted out: "They are all vegetarian dishes. This is not easy!"
That's the glutinous rice dish. If you want it to taste sticky and sweet, you have to soak it in water in advance. It's morning now, and there are still two hours until noon. At this time... it's enough to barely pour it.
With this thought in mind, he immediately ordered a handy eunuch beside him: "Bring over the hot water you just boiled and soak the glutinous rice in the hot water. It will be faster."
While Xiao Dazi was giving instructions, he saw that the child's movements were not quick enough. He looked worried and simply stepped forward and snatched the hot water bottle.
As soon as the hot water is poured in, the steaming heat will rise.
Xiao Dazi was blinded by the hot water. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, thinking to himself: What the master ordered today...why is it all vinegary? Maybe it's because the weather is hot and I have no appetite. I just want to appetize?
Ji Ling was playing with Qilin in the back room. Qilin had an ungrateful character and ran around the room, very lively, and bumped into Qixi's lap several times.
Because the sun was shining outside, Bi Xue carried the hibiscus bird cage outside, walked in, and hung it at the doorway between the outer room and the inner room.
Qilin suddenly raised his head, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at the hibiscus bird curiously, quite eager to try.
The hibiscus bird huddled on the other side of the cage as if facing a formidable enemy, its wings suddenly spread open, its neck held back, and it just stared at the unicorn without saying a word. The cheerful and melodious bird cry in the past was gone now.
Ji Ling saw it and quickly told Bixue: "Find a cloth to cover it, and then hang the cage higher. It is scared!"
Bixue hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Master, if it were hung a little higher, you would have to look at the bottom of the cage!"
Ji Ling shook his head and said: "That doesn't matter. Wait until next month when the sun is no longer so poisonous, then you can hang up the bird cage and separate it from Qilin."
Qixi was arranging things next to her. After hearing what her master said, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Master, have you forgotten? By this time next month, we may have already left the Forbidden City!"
When Ji Ling was reminded by her, she remembered that she had celebrated the Ghost Festival and had almost forgotten that there was still the Old Summer Palace in the future!
The list of escorts will probably be released in the next few days. Looking at this battle, I am afraid that 80 to 90% of the people in the Forbidden City will have to pass through, and she will be no exception.
If we start counting from today, there will only be forty days left.
It’s time to pack your bags step by step.
Just as Ji Ling was thinking this, Xiao Fenzi came over, bowed in the front hall, and passed a message through the curtain, saying that the eunuch Xiao Yangzi was outside the gate of Jingyang Palace, asking to see Mr. Ji.
Ji Ling was startled: Little Yoko?
She told Xiao Fenzi: "Let him come in and arrange for him to go to the front hall. I'll go out right away."
Little Yoko came in, knelt down, kowtowed to Ji Ling a few times, and said with red eyes: "Slave Little Yoko, please give your regards to noble Ji, noble Jin!"
Ji Ling said softly: "Get up quickly!"
When Xiao Yoko heard this, he raised his head. Ji Ling was so surprised that he almost didn't recognize him.
After not seeing each other for just a month or two, little Yoko's eyes have sunken deeply, and her cheeks have become much thinner, as if she is ten years older than before.
He was originally tall, and he used to have some appearance when he stood up. Now he is so thin and out of shape. His eunuch uniform is fluttering on his body. Looking from the side, it looks like he is wearing a piece of clothing.
On the bamboo pole, he looked very pitiful.
Qixi and Bixue were also shocked by Xiao Yangzi's behavior. Because Hai Guiren and Ji Ling used to live separately in the east and west courtyards of Jingyang Palace. Although the masters did not necessarily have much contact, the slaves below had to work and come in and out every day.
When we meet each other, we all have some kind of friendship.
Because Evian arrived late, he didn't know that Xiaoyangzi was a slave who used to serve the nobleman Hai on the side of Jingyang Palace.
Ji Ling turned to Yiyun and said: "Go to the dining room and see how Xiao Dazi is preparing. Tell him that I ate a lot in the Yangxin Hall in the morning, and I am still a little strong now."
Don't panic, let him postpone some lunch."
Evian responded.
Ji Ling saw that now there were only Qixi, Bixue, and Xiaofenzi in the room, all of whom had been serving him in times of trouble.
She stared at Xiao Yoko and asked him: "You came to me, something must have happened. Don't worry! Speak slowly."
