Perhaps he dreamed of something happy in his sleep, Qixi saw the corners of his master's mouth curled up slightly.
Qixi's heart suddenly softened: After all, the master is only an eighteen-year-old girl, one year younger than herself! Can't you just relax in your dream?
She stepped forward and gently helped Ji Ling gather the quilt, and covered Ji Ling tightly with the light lake color brocade quilt. Then she put down the bed curtain, blew on one of the longer palace lanterns in the room, and tiptoed out.
.
Ji Ling slept for a long time, and when it was noon, Qixi saw that the rain outside had finally stopped, and there were only leaves and water droplets accumulated on the eaves, still dripping down and hitting the blue brick floor.
There is a dripping sound.
She lifted the door curtain and looked outside, and saw that the eunuchs had already lifted off the oil paper cloth and started to tidy it up again when the weather improved, and she couldn't help but frown.
Bixue followed her gaze and saw those people knocking. She threw down the curtain and walked out quickly. When she got in front of those people, she pointed in the direction of the main room and whispered: "Your Excellency, you are resting now."
Okay, you guys, please be gentler with your movements, but don’t make any noise and disturb the nobles!”
Those eunuchs quickly said yes.
Xiao Fenzi walked under the eaves and stopped when she saw this scene. When Bixue came back, she came forward, brushing the water drops that fell from the eaves on her body, and asked with a smile: "Bixue
Xue, Xiao Chenzi is from the Yangxin Palace, do you dare to teach the people he brought here?"
When Bixue turned her head and saw Xiao Fenzi, she curled her lips and said, "Don't be such a mouthful! I just reminded them a few words, but why did it become a 'teaching'? Do you think it's inappropriate for you to criticize others all the time?"
The master gives you too little work?".
Xiao Fenzi shrank her head and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, tsk! What a temper! Isn't this a lesson? Bixue... You really need to change your temper. Are you afraid that no one will dare to marry you when you leave the palace tomorrow?"
, before he finished speaking, his legs had already been stretched out. When he finished the last sentence, he dodged and slipped away with his feet greased.
Bixue was so angry behind her that she stomped her feet angrily and said, "You are getting more and more unruly now! Your sister Qixi is blindly manipulating you, and sooner or later you will cause trouble!".
As soon as he finished speaking, Qixi opened the curtain and walked out of the room. Xiaofenzi couldn't dodge and almost bumped into Qixi. Qixi stepped aside, grabbed him, looked at Bixue again, and scolded in a low voice.
He said: "You know how to tell the people in the kitchen to hurry up and not make any noise. It's better for you to do it yourself. If I hadn't come out to see, there would be monkeys playing in this yard, right?"
Bixue and Xiaofenzi looked at each other, and then saw Qixi's serious face. They didn't dare to say anything more, so they both fell silent.
After a while, Bixue rubbed her hands and whispered: "I still have to go to Changchun Palace to pick up the meal. If the master wakes up, he will have to eat."
Qixi knew that because the dining room was being repaired and renovated, Xiao Dazi could not cook, so she nodded and said: "Yes, this is a serious errand. Go quickly, the master will definitely be hungry when he wakes up.".
Qixi thought about it for a while, but finally felt uneasy, and then said: "Master was not feeling well last night, I will go and bring some light meals to nourish the stomach." Xiao Fenzi was stunned and said: "What's wrong with you?"
Benefit?" Qixi's face turned red and her expression became tense.
Bixue didn't need to mention the meal, she felt relaxed. At this time, she glared at Xiaofenzi, looked up to see that the sky was about to clear up, and because she was afraid of another rain on the road, she took the oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Qixi.
At that time, another palace maid sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs together with Rouge followed Qixi out.
The palace lady's original name was Manjing, which is actually a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, commonly known as kohlrabi among the people. It can benefit the five internal organs, lighten the body and replenish qi, make people fat and strong, reduce qi and cure coughs, relieve thirst, improve eyesight, and facilitate urination.
.Used to treat swelling and poison.
Ji Ling thought the name Manjing was a bit difficult to remember, so he changed it to Evian. At this time, Evian was carrying the food box, and the two of them walked in tandem.
Qixi learned from Rouge's mistakes and became even more defensive and did not talk much to Evian.
To go to Concubine Qi's Changchun Palace, you have to pass through Yikun Palace. When Qixi arrived here, she felt a little scared and couldn't help but urge Evian to move faster. Evian was panicked by her and just passed the corner of Yikun Palace.
I accidentally knocked the food box over and made a loud noise.
Qixi was just about to complain when she looked up and saw a group of people carrying shoulder carriages walking over from a distance. She knew that this was at least the concubine's master, so she quickly stood under the palace wall, with her hands down and her hands down. She saw the queue.
As they gradually got closer, pairs of eunuch boots made a "creep" sound on the ground. Seeing this battle, Qixi knew which concubine it was, and thought it was near Yikun Palace...
Don’t be the Nian Concubine!
The queue suddenly stopped in front of him. It seemed that the noble man on the shoulder carriage signaled the eunuch to stop. Qixi knelt down quickly, only to hear the woman on the shoulder carriage wonder: "Isn't this the person next to Mr. Ji? His name is..."
.
At this time, Qixi boldly raised her head and saw that it was Concubine Qi who was sitting on the carriage. She breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed out a smile and said, "In response to Concubine Qi, my name is Qixi, and my name is Qixi.
Concubine Qi, please greet me. May your concubine be blessed with peace and happiness!"
Concubine Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! It's called Qixi. I remembered it. Your master's habit of naming names is very interesting!".
She paused, her eyes fell on the food box held by Evian behind Qixi, and she said cheerfully: "I heard that the emperor has renovated a new dining room in the east courtyard of Jingyang Palace. If your master has difficulty eating,
Feel free to come to this Changchun Palace to offer food! Don’t worry about being restrained.”
Qixi kowtowed with great gratitude and said sincerely: "Thank you to Concubine Qi for never giving up and always taking good care of my master. Servant... I would like to thank Concubine Qi on behalf of my master!".
Concubine Qi nodded slightly and raised her hand to signal the eunuchs to lift their shoulders.
Qixi knelt on the side of the road, watching Concubine Qi's carriage go far away, and saw that she seemed to be heading towards Kunning Palace. Then she stood up and took Evian to pick up the meal.
About ten days later, the dining room in the east courtyard was finally completed.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Even though it was evening and the warm sun was shining, it already felt like early summer. Ji Ling wore a thin moonlit flag suit and stood in the yard.
Xiao Fenzi, Xiao Dazi, and another little eunuch named Xiao Kezi were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs together with Yanzhi and Evian. The three little eunuchs were holding a bunch of "luxury version" pots that the emperor had given to Mr. Ji.
The bowls and pans were sent to the dining room. Bixue and Evian were holding the door curtains on the left and right to let them in and out.
There were big beads of sweat on Xiao Fenzi's forehead, and she still didn't forget to say: "Sister Qixi, Xiao Dazi's eyes don't grow on his heels, so it's useless to remind him!".
Bixue covered her mouth and laughed happily. Suddenly she heard a report singing outside, saying that the emperor had arrived.
When Yin walked in, he saw that all the servants in the east courtyard were crowded in the new dining room, and no one was guarding the door.
