Ji Ling heard his firm words and said no more. He just lowered his eyes and said, "If you want to help me open my eyes, you don't have to risk your life like this."
She paused and said simply: "I won't force you, just remember: if you can't stand it anymore, you can come to Jingyang Palace to find me at any time, or Qixi!".
Little Yoko nodded silently.
Ji Ling stood up and told Qixi carefully: "I'll go back in a while and ask Xiao Fenzi to privately bring him some ointment to stop bleeding." She sighed, looked at Xiao Yangzi, and said with concern: "Just now
They said you were sick?".
Little Yoko moved her lips slightly. Qixi didn't understand what she heard, so she stepped forward and asked, "What?"
Xiao Yoko repeated it weakly.
This time Qixi understood it, and explained to Ji Ling: "Master, little Yoko is not sick, but he hasn't eaten! He is too hungry, so he has no strength."
Ji Ling was also surprised and couldn't help but said angrily: "Little Yoko, they even deprived you of food and bullied you?".
Little Yoko shook his head and said: "My lord, it's... the slaves were lazy that day and arrived late when the meal started, so they didn't catch up with the meal. It's not that they were cheating!".
Ji Ling frowned, always feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with what little Yoko said, but for a while he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Qixi helped Xiaoyangzi stand up. Xiaoyangzi bowed to Ji Ling unsteadily and said: "My lord, if I delay this for a long time, even if they are not suspicious, the people in charge will ask me for questioning. I...
The slave will resign now!".
Ji Ling nodded, Qixi also looked worried, and warned again: "Remember the master's words, if you need anything, come to Jingyang Palace at any time!".
Little Yoko managed to squeeze out a bleak smile from her bruised and swollen face.
He nodded, faced Ji Ling, bowed and stepped back a dozen steps respectfully, then turned around and staggered away.
Ji Ling and Qixi saw his figure flicker and disappear around the corner.
Ji Ling took Qixi back towards the direction of Jingyang Palace. She didn't go far when she looked up and saw Bixue hurriedly holding a makeup bag and covering on the opposite side.
But she happened to see it twice. Bi Xue's eyes lit up and she immediately raised the bulging bag in her arms. On the other side of the aisle, she smiled and said to Ji Ling: "Master! I brought you the cloak!".
Qixi waved her over and reached out to take the cover. Seeing that the fabric was faintly green and embroidered with a few green bamboos on the lower left, she couldn't help but take a breath and said, "You are really rich. Such good material is enough for you."
Made a bag cover!".
Bixue curled her lips and said: "These are not in my hands. It's good if I can find them! Besides, our master is favored! Do you want any good fabrics? Sister Qixi, don't feel bad!".
Qixi frowned and said softly: "Why did you forget the master's warning again? You are so frivolous with this mouth!".
As she spoke, her hands kept moving, and she had already opened the cover of the package. Inside was a summer cloak, as thin as a cicada's wings. The pale moon-white river silk had patterns of orchids, butterflies, and grass leaves, and it was wrapped in a circle.
The brocade yarn of the same color is smooth and cold in the hand, as if holding a moonlight in the hand.
Qixi picked up the collar of the cloak and shook it. The whole cloak suddenly fluttered like clouds and smoke. She handed the cover to Bi Xue and put the cloak on Ji Ling. The three masters and servants slowly walked towards Jingyang.
Go back to the palace.
A figure slowly poked out from the palace wall in the distance behind him.
It's little Yoko.
He stared at their backs and waited until Ji Ling's cloak turned around the palace wall and disappeared instantly, then he finally walked out from behind the palace wall.
Little Yoko was holding on to the wall, and the injury on his knee was injured again because of the big step he had taken.
He only felt a heartbreaking pain. This time he couldn't hold it back and moaned.
Little Yoko raised his hand and groped for a while from his arms, and then carefully took out a ball of things wrapped in oil paper from the depths of his arms. Little Yoko peeled off the oil paper layer by layer, revealing two crispy golden things inside.
Scallion pancakes with a lot of white sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
The scallion pancake is so fragrant!
Little Yoko lowered his head and smelled it, greedily inhaling a big mouthful of aroma. His throat slipped and he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva. Seeing that the oil paper was faintly stained with blood, he raised his hand and wiped it carefully with his sleeve, and wiped it with his sleeve.
The two cakes were re-wrapped, then put into his arms again, turned to the other direction, and staggered away.
…
On the way back, the sky was getting darker step by step. Xiao Fenzi slept well and brought a lantern early to wait on the aisle in front of the Jingyang Palace.
The lantern stirred up a yellow halo of light in the evening breeze, illuminating the sparse gates of Jingyang Palace.
As soon as she caught a glimpse of her master, Xiao Fenzi immediately trotted up to meet her and said, "I would like to say hello to you, master! Master is back!".
Ji Ling also smiled and said gently: "Okay, get up!".
As she walked into the east courtyard, she raised her hand to fumble with the buttons on her neck. She took off her cloak and handed it to Qixi. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of a dark figure standing quietly in the corner of the small courtyard.
He was holding onto someone! His hands shook in fear.
Qixi was also startled. When she saw the man's face clearly, she took a breath and said to Ji Ling: "Master, it's Xiao Lezi!".
Xiao Lezi came forward at this time, slapped his sleeves, and said: "Slave Xiao Lezi, please give my regards to Mr. Jigui!".
He was also muttering unhappily in his heart that he had just come here to ask Bixue to deliver a cloak to Ji Gui, but the slaves coming and going in the yard treated him like nothing and left him here to dry.
After all, he is also from Changchun Palace!
At this time, other servants in the courtyard heard the commotion and came to pay their respects to Lord Ji. Xiao Dazi also came out of the dining room, his head and face flushed, and his face was covered with beads of sweat.
After Ji Ling called everyone, he explained Xiao Lezi's whereabouts to Xiao Dazi in a few words, and finally said: "Xiao Dazi, you will still be responsible for this dining room from now on. You take Xiao Lezi to place him first.
Bar.".
After all, Xiao Lezi was a favor from Changchun Palace. Ji Ling thought of Concubine Qi's always taking care of him, so he added: "There is no need to rush to get Xiao Lezi started, let him get familiar with it first, and do it slowly, tonight.
Pack up the bedding.".
Xiao Fenzi squinted her eyes, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Lezi, and then turned her eyes back to Xiao Dazi, who saw Xiao Dazi agreeing again and again, with a happy face.
Yes! Finally a helper came! A dedicated cook! He thought.
Seeing the noble master enter the house, Xiao Dazi smiled honestly at Xiao Lezi, rubbed his hands, and said quietly: "Then... then I will take you to the house where you are staying!".
Xiao Lezi raised his hand and cupped Xiao Dazi, without saying anything to him, and tightened the package on his back.
