After sitting quietly for a while, the dusk was getting darker.
All around, the dark fragrance became more and more intense, and the sweet fragrance of summer flowers enveloped Yinzhen and Ji Ling in waves.
The sitting place under the flower gallery had been cushioned with soft mattresses. Now after sitting for a long time, I felt faintly sweaty and hot.
When the wind passed by, broken flowers fell on everyone's head. Ji Ling reached out to brush them away, picked up another petal, held it in the palm of her hand and played with it.
Yinzhen saw the flowers and trees stacked up in layers in the courtyard. Although it was crowded and disorderly, it was colorful and lively, so he casually asked a few questions.
Ji Ling explained to him Xu Xu: "Xiao Dazi also got these flower and grass seeds from everywhere. He was in the kitchen, and he happened to collect all the kitchen scraps to make flower fertilizer!"
When she said this, she thought of Xiaoyangzi - the fourth master just mentioned Xiaoyangzi today, so he was in a very good mood. It would be unreasonable to take advantage of this moment to ask for a favor for other slaves.
Disaster!
She immediately told Yinzhen the key points about Little Yoko, but skipped the part about mice.
Finally, she said: "That child is really pitiful. Besides, he is from the Jinyan Palace. He is familiar with the family, his hands and feet are clean and neat, and he can work very quickly. He is a useful person."
The Emperor knows that there are not many new slaves in my yard. Although Xiaoyangzi has never followed me before, after all, he is different from those who come in from outside.
I thought, if I let him take care of the flowers and plants, he would be able to do a good job. Xiao Dazi would not have to worry about both sides and be too busy. "
She said a lot in one breath without breathing. When Yinzhen heard the back, he laughed.
He held her hand, pulled her up, and then said: "It's not easy. For a slave, it's rare for you to waste your words like this. Forget it, as long as it's someone you think is safe, I'll give it to you.
."
He raised his voice and called Su Peisheng to come over and remember this. He also gave a few instructions to find out the origin of this slave and make sure it was clear and clear.
Su Peisheng naturally had no impression or concept of a low-level eunuch like Xiao Yangzi, but the emperor himself spoke, and there could be no delay in this matter.
He agreed repeatedly and wrote it down.
Ji Ling knew very well - now, Xiaoyangzi's matter was nailed on the iron plate and it was done!
She happily held the fourth master's hand and thanked him randomly.
Yinzhen held her waist to prevent her from actually kneeling down, but Ji Ling insisted on kneeling down, so Yinzhen stretched out his hand to stop her.
She bumped into his chest.
Fortunately, the collision was not serious. Ji Ling rubbed his head and raised his head to look at Yinzhen. Both of them laughed.
In this posture, Yinzhen held her in his arms, caressed her head, lowered his head and kissed the melon on her head, then laughed and cursed: "The person who even dares to shout my name,
Are you pretending to be polite now?"
When he said this, there was a little reproach in his voice.
Ji Ling remained silent and held onto Yinzhen's finger as if it were a flower.
She tugged on it and looked up at him with a smile.
He was helpless by her rogue appearance, glared at her and turned away.
After a moment, she came over and asked with a playful smile: "Your Majesty, are you still angry with me?"
Yinzhen originally had itchy teeth and wanted to say something important to her, but when he saw her look like this, the words came to his lips and suddenly melted away.
He reached out and hugged her again, hugging her tightly, smelling the fragrant scent of rouge and gouache on her body.
It was a sweet aroma, just like her, soft and soft - it reminded people of sunshine, cradle, quilt, cakes...
And all the trivial and ordinary but warm and beautiful moments in life.
He held her in silence for a while, buried his head in her hair, and suddenly murmured in a deep voice: "Lingling, give me a child!"
…
After dinner.
Xiao Dazi saw that the masters were serving dinner and the service was well done, so he returned to the dining room with peace of mind.
Those handy eunuchs had already heard the news. As soon as Xiao Dazi entered the door, the four of them came up to him. With smiles on their faces, they rushed to bring him stools and said one after another like a barrage: "Eunuch Da! Eunuch Da!
"
Another person joined in the fun and shouted: "Eunuch Da, this is the eighth-grade eunuch personally appointed by the emperor, so naturally he is different!"
Xiao Dazi didn't know how to deal with people. At this time, he looked embarrassed, waved his hands again and again, stamped his feet and said: "Stop yelling! Carefully let the master hear you!"
While he was talking, he looked back and saw figures outside the window shaking. Then the door curtain was lifted, and a man came in with a burst of heat outside. He just said casually: "Who is being naughty here? I
You can hear it clearly!"
As he said this, he had already stepped in. It was Xiao Fenzi.
The room became quiet, and a few handymen and eunuchs separated automatically to make way for a path. Xiao Fenzi walked in front of Xiao Dazi and kept quiet. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said: "
Eunuch Da, from now on I will still have to rely on you for support and care!"
Everyone else burst into laughter.
As soon as Xiao Dazi stretched out his hand, he wiped off Xiao Fenzi's fist.
His young face turned red with irritation, and even his tongue seemed to be knotted. He just said: "Xiao Fenzi, even you are teasing me!"
Xiao Fenzi clasped his hands behind his back, raised his head and said with a smile: "Where is the joke? What they said just now is right - he is obviously the eighth-grade eunuch of Long Live Lord Jinkou Yuyan! The phrase 'Eunuch Da' is worthy of it,
Well deserved!"
As he said this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that he was one year older than Xiao Dazi, and he had devoted all his efforts to serving his master, but now Xiao Dazi had become more successful than him.
Xiao Fenzi sat down on the kang table sourly, the sour smell almost overflowing from her body.
He glanced at the Kang table and saw a plate of cakes that the noble master had given him at noon.
The pastry had been left for a long time, and the crust had become slightly hard. Xiao Fenzi picked it up, chewed it silently for a few times, stretched her neck and swallowed it.
He turned his head to the side and saw with cold eyes the few handyman eunuchs, without any explanation, forcefully pulling Xiao Dazi from left to right and pushing him to a chair.
There were those who were beating their shoulders, and those who were beating their legs. There were also people who couldn't wait to fetch hot water with a wooden bucket. They bent over and struggled to carry it to Xiao Dazi, smiling as if he had met his biological father: "
Mr. Da’s feet are soaked!”
Xiao Dazi had never seen such a posture before. His face was red to the root of his neck, and he was still struggling. Those people had already squatted down, and several hands were flying in the sky to grab the boots that held him.
Xiao Dazi turned his head in embarrassment and saw Xiao Fenzi engrossed in eating a piece of cold cake. He couldn't help but said: "Xiao Fenzi, are you hungry? I'll give you a bowl of noodles! Then
It’s a lunch snack, and it’s already so cold that it’s hard inside and out! Don’t eat it, or you’ll hurt your stomach!”
As he said this, he pushed aside those people and stood up. He walked up to Xiao Fenzi and stretched out his hand to take away the plate of cakes. He just whispered: "You have always had a bad stomach. You look like this when you look back."
Last time, the pain was so painful that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so don't blame me for not stopping you!"
As Xiao Dazi spoke, he reached out and grabbed the edge of the plate.
Xiao Fenzi suddenly stretched out his hand, pressed the back of Xiao Dazi's hand, and said calmly: "No need to bother."
Xiao Dazi held his hand down, and the back of his hand trembled.
He didn't move, he just raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Xiao Fenzi very, very slowly.
Xiao Fenzi clearly read a hint of guilt and caution in his eyes.
His heart suddenly softened, and he silently let go of his hand. He watched Xiao Dazi lower his head and silently took the plate of cakes away from him.
Xiao Fenzi felt a sense of shame in her heart.
He has always looked at Xiao Dazi as a naive person. Even when he was bullied by Xiao Lezi who was sent by Changchun Palace, he just tolerated it blindly.
Xiao Dazi is kind to everyone in the courtyard, and even better to him.
Whatever it is to eat or use...as long as it's something good for the slaves, Xiao Dazi always wants to leave a portion for him.
But deep down in his heart, he looked down on Xiao Dazi's cowardice - he even vaguely felt that this partner was too cowardly.
Although the eunuch has no descendants, he is still half a man. He can't be stabbed and lose even half of his blood, right?
