While he was talking, Xiao Dazi had already delivered a bowl of fragrant sauce fish noodles to the door.
Ji Ling was immediately taken away by the scent.
Bixue walked over and took the tray from Xiao Dazi's hand from the door. Seeing that Xiao Dazi was sweating profusely, she couldn't help but whisper softly: "You must be tired, you should be!".
After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips towards the kitchen, meaning: Isn't there a new little eunuch now? Go and send him to beat him!
Xiao Dazi smiled honestly, rubbed his hands without saying anything, and knelt down to greet Ji Ling at the door. After being called up, he went about his own business.
Ji Ling saw Bixue coming up with a bowl of fragrant sauce fish noodles.
The fish is herring, light white in color, tender and delicious, but has a lot of spines, so be careful when eating it.
Ji Ling took the chopsticks and put them into the soup. He saw that the fish was cut into thin slices and served with sweet and spicy sauce. There were also some green-yellow sauerkraut and red pepper in the soup.
There is actually sauerkraut...
There is actually sauerkraut!
Ji Ling’s foodie soul is on fire again!
She raised her head and looked at Qixi and said in one breath: "Qixi, let's have pickled fish for lunch! We need more sauerkraut and more chili peppers. Let him add them as much as he wants! Don't be afraid of burning me. You go and let Xiao Dazi think about it."
The solution is to try it in the small kitchen in the east courtyard. There is no need for other dishes. The small kitchen is small and there is no way to use it."
Ji Ling swallowed and added carefully: "Add two bowls of white rice. By the way, you can also add some vermicelli. If you don't have vermicelli, noodles will do!".
Yanzhi looked sideways and looked down on Ji Ling more and more.
Jigui is about the same age as me, and his appearance is ordinary. At most, he can be called beautiful and decent.
What's more, I think about eating, eating, eating all day long...
His face is full of greed! As a woman, you don’t feel ashamed?
Such a loser can fall into the eyes of the emperor, let alone himself?
This time, I was unlucky and my flattery fell on the horse's leg.
Next time, it may not be the case.
What's more, this time, from beginning to end, the emperor never looked at me seriously... If I find an opportunity next time, I can show my face in front of the emperor and let the emperor pay attention to me.
Maybe everything will be different.
You know, wasn't the emperor's biological mother, the Concubine De of the Kangxi Dynasty, just a servant serving the emperor?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Concubine De's life is really good. She has the right time, place, people and everything.
Emperor Kangxi had so many concubines in his harem, but the emperor was not partial at all, and everyone got the chance to see the emperor once a month. It was a good thing.
But things were different for the Wu Ya clan who was a slave. She served the emperor every day. Naturally, those who were near the water and the towers got the moon first. It was normal for them to have secret feelings and so on.
Rouge couldn't help but blush and her heart beat up as she thought about it.
As long as there is a chance, as long as there is a chance, I can give it to her!
Ji Ling huffed and puffed as she ate the fish noodles.
The fish was at a good temperature, but the noodle soup had just come off the stove and was steaming hot. While blowing on it, Ji Ling looked for sour cowpeas and chopped chili peppers in it like a cloud.
Through the steaming heat, she picked up a handful of noodles and put it into her mouth. While chewing, she took in the changes in the expression on Rouge's face.
In the blink of an eye, five or six days have passed. Spring is halfway through, and the warmth in the air is getting stronger day by day.
In the east courtyard of Jingyang Palace, some early spring flowers withered and fell all over the ground. When walking on it, it felt like a layer of soft cushions. Xiao Fenzi wanted to sweep it, but Ji Ling didn't let it go, saying that it looked pretty nice.
Leave it for a few days and see.
The vines on the verandah now shed their tender green color in early spring and become increasingly green and verdant.
Qixi accompanied Ji Ling in the back room to choose birthday gifts for the Nian Concubine. Bixue and Yanzhi were also there.
After choosing over and over again, Ji Ling seemed dissatisfied. She folded her hands in front of her chest and worried about the pile of silk brocades.
Are there any rare materials in the Yikun Palace? Many of them are fabrics sent by the young general’s disciples. To put it bluntly, some of them are not even seen in the Queen’s Palace. What’s more, she is such a small noble.
So, choose one thing from the emperor's reward?
No, isn't this just plain hatred?
Besides, the emperor would definitely not be happy if he saw the gift he gave him being placed in Yikun Palace.
Ji Ling categorically rejected the plan.
Qixi whispered: "Master, I heard from Jasmine that Concubine Mao has prepared a large set of landscape embroidery for Concubine Nian since the beginning of the year. She stayed up for many nights and her eyes were all red.
.There are also Guo Guiren and Concubine Yu in the palace of Concubine Ning. They all embroidered the flowers and birds that Concubine Nian loved most."
Ji Ling glanced at Qixi. Could it be that the girl's implication was that she should also spend so much effort preparing for Concubine Nian?
No, no...it is absolutely impossible for someone as lazy as her to put in such effort.
"Send some money." Ji Ling waved her hand and said to Qixi neatly.
Thousands of mistakes, but the red envelope is good.
Originally, when concubines in the palace celebrated their birthdays, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would send money on behalf of the emperor.
Isn't it sincere enough for a little noble person like her to use her monthly savings to honor the concubine?
After thinking of a suitable number, Ji Ling asked Qixi to find some soft pink silk from the box, and asked her to wrap each ingot of silver and tie it into the shape of a flower.
She also asked Qixi to put silk thread on each flower and hang it on a small bonsai tree. At a closer look, it looked like a peach blossom tree, as bright as clouds.
When Ji Ling was taking a bath in the evening, Qixi helped Ji Ling remove the bead ring on her head, then combed her hair, took off her shoes, socks, and clothes.
Yanzhi carried a bucket of hot water out of the kitchen and walked quickly along the way, still inevitably splashing water droplets.
Yanzhi had just walked to the door to bring water in, but she heard Ji Ling's furious voice coming from inside: "How could you be so careless!".
Her heart moved and she immediately stopped the hand that was about to lift the mat.
The other new palace maid is not qualified to serve Ji Guiren in bathing. Bixue has gone to get the flower petals for bathing. Who else can be in the room? Naturally, it is Qixi.
Although Yan Zhi only came here for a short time, she could still tell that Ji Gui had a lot of trust and dependence on Qixi, and it could even be said that she loved Qixi. She rarely spoke with such a tone when speaking to Qixi.
What did Qixi do wrong?
Yanzhi put her ear to the curtain and heard Ji Ling, obviously suppressing his anger, saying: "Do you think it is easy for me to be favored? I am trying to figure out the emperor's preferences and earn my future bit by bit! You actually... you
...To be so careless!".
Yanzhi listened to these words and thought about it for a moment. When she turned around and saw that Bixue hadn't come over yet, she gently lifted a crack in the curtain and looked inside.
