Concubine Ning returned to the main hall, and her personal maid Bi Cha helped her sit down on her seat. Seeing that she looked unhappy, she persuaded her: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about Zhang Guiren. That nobleman is just a timid person. Is it possible?"
Is the empress still afraid that something will happen due to her troubles?".
Concubine Ning looked down at the kodan on her nails and saw a slight fade in one area. She frowned slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of the wind and waves. It's just that the way I looked at this girl today, I'm very fond of the Ji family.
It’s hard to guarantee that it’s not…”.
When she said this, she pondered for a moment and did not continue. Seeing her master's silence, Bicha turned to Concubine Ning, knelt down and kneaded her legs carefully.
The palace was like this. It was silent for a while, and then there was movement outside. It turned out that Zhang Guiren had just returned at this time.
Bicha listened to the footsteps of the group of people. Zhang Guiren did not go to the main hall, but went straight back to his side courtyard.
Bicha frowned and raised her eyes to secretly look at Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning twitched the corner of her mouth and sneered: "You said this girl is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. I'm watching... She is becoming more and more frivolous and bold. She went back to the side courtyard talking to herself like this.
But I have never come to the main hall."
Bi Cha heard her stern tone and did not dare to say any more. She just lowered her head and used a pair of jade hammers to gently beat Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning couldn't help but become agitated as she thought about what happened during the day.
She entered Sibeile Mansion early. At that time, there were not as many women around Yin as there are now. Unfortunately, after so many years, there was still no movement in her stomach. Fortunately, the emperor thought that she was an old man living in the mansion, and gave her to him after he ascended the throne.
She became a concubine.
She always felt that the emperor's appointment of her as a concubine was an encouragement to her and a hint: let her work harder and have children, so that she would be worthy of the position of concubine.
Yes! If she could have a son and a half, why would a concubine like her have to keep one eye open and keep an eye on these young nobles?
After beating her for a while, the inquiring eunuch rushed back sweating profusely, trotted all the way to the front hall of the main palace, knelt down in front of Concubine Ning, and then said breathlessly: "Master, I have been wandering around the imperial garden for a long time, and I'm still here."
I didn't see Zhang Guiren, but when I came back, I heard something on the street: It turned out that after Zhang Guiren came out of Kunning Palace today, he went to find Ji Guiren. It seemed that the two were quite close, and Ji Guiren invited Zhang Guiren.
Go to Jingyang Palace...".
Concubine Ning said coldly: "She has already come back. It's useless for you to find out that she is not in the imperial garden." The little eunuch's name was Little Coconut. At this time, he knelt down and said: "He is a slave.
Useless! The slave deserves to die!".
He said "snap", raised his hand and slapped himself.
Concubine Ning frowned and said, "Get out of here and don't yell in front of me!" Little Coconut quickly put her hands on the ground, stood up, and crawled out of the room.
Concubine Ning glanced at the west courtyard where Zhang Guiren lived, and narrowed her starry eyes slightly.
Sure enough, just as she thought, Zhang Guiren suddenly got into the Ji family, a hot celebrity, right under her nose.
Although this girl is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, she is not stupid at all and is very smart!
Six days later.
The sun rises early in the summer, and at 3:30 in the morning, the faint morning light shines into the bedroom in the east courtyard of Jingyang Palace.
The sun is getting brighter day by day, and even though it is morning, the room is very warm and hot.
Ji Ling went to bed early last night. At this time, Qixi was just walking around the door, arranging breakfast arrangements, and Ji Ling woke up. She took off the silk eye mask she wore at night, rubbed her eyes, and turned over. She was going to
Keep sleeping, but...
very hungry!
I went to bed early last night, so I had my dinner early, and the little food was already digested in my stomach.
As soon as Ji Ling turned over and sat up, he got on the bed, lifted the bed curtain and shouted: "Qixi!".
There was movement at the door immediately. Qixi opened the curtain and said softly: "Master is awake? But he needs to wash up?".
Ji Ling nodded and said: "I will wash up in this bed. You ask them to bring the small kang table. I will also eat breakfast in bed."
Qixi was slightly startled, and was about to persuade Ji Ling to get out of bed, wash up, change clothes, and have a serious meal, but after thinking about her master's temper, she swallowed her words.
The small kang table was set up, and fragrant cakes and sweet porridge were also brought up by Bixue and Evian. Today's breakfast was very down-to-earth, with a plate of red and white cakes, four fried dough sticks, a plate of honey cakes, and thin
A plate of sesame cakes, a plate of plum blossom cakes and sesame cakes.
Clear porridge is really clear with less rice grains and more water. It is paired with sweet, sour and slightly spicy things like winter melon slices and pickled melons. It is just right to eat when your throat is choking after eating cakes.
There was also a bowl of jade dew frost. Ji Ling tasted it. It was made of milk and rock sugar. It had been chilled on the outside. Water beads condensed on the edge of the bowl one by one. It melted in the mouth. There were fruit pieces inside.
It's a bit like the fruit mousse I bought in a Western dessert shop before time travel.
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, if there is no milk for nobles and lower rankings, they must follow the regulations of the main palace.
However, here in Ji Ling, he is completely at your disposal and never provides money, which is naturally because he is favored.
On this day, after lunch, Su Peisheng came to deliver a message: The emperor is coming over tonight, and asked for meals to be prepared in the east courtyard of Jingyang Palace...waiting for him.
He asked her to prepare it, which meant that the meal would be served tonight and she would prepare it instead of bringing it from the Yangxin Hall.
Ji Ling wasn't too panicked: anyway, the new dining room was all set up now. If Yin didn't dislike it, she wouldn't be unable to serve decent meals here.
There is just one disadvantage: the kitchen mainly relies on Xiao Dazi, and the manpower is really a bit short.
As if he had read her thoughts, Su Peisheng turned around with a smile, waved his hand back, and signaled Xiao Chenzi to come forward with four handy eunuchs in uniform uniforms.
The four people stood in a row and uniformly knelt down to greet Ji Ling and kowtowed: "I want to pay my respects to Ji Ling! Your noble Jin is safe!"
Ji Ling asked the four people to get up in confusion, and asked: "Eunuch Su, this is...".
Su Peisheng said with a smile: "Blessed are the nobles! This is the grace of the emperor. Although the emperor has been busy with government affairs recently and has no time for the harem. In fact, the emperor has always been thinking about the nobles! The last time he came back from the nobles, he said to the slave: The nobles' meal
The house, the manpower is really too small, the turnover cannot be enough, let the slaves carefully select some handymen for the nobles."
He paused and continued: "I am afraid that the nobleman will not use it smoothly, so I went to the imperial dining room and carefully selected them. These are all clean and honest, nobleman, feel free to use them. If there is anything you don't like, feel free to tell me.
That’s what the servant said.”
Ji Ling was a little worried, so he asked Su Peisheng: "Eunuch Su, according to the rules of the palace, I am just a nobleman, but there are so many people in this courtyard, will I violate the rules?".
Su Peisheng waved his hand and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, what you said is serious! They are just some handymen, not counted as heads." He then said softly: "Your Majesty, please prepare for the evening earlier. I am watching... Your Majesty is here today.
The court is very happy! Maybe I will come to the noble man early, and maybe I will go back soon."
Ji Ling agreed repeatedly, stood up and said, "Eunuch Su, I'll see you off!"
