Chapter 11 As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed
After Di Qianao left, Aunt Mei came in and tapped Luo Changan's forehead with her finger, "Silly girl, the emperor didn't even know how to answer you. What kind of medicine do you think that is?"
Luo Changan had the feeling that everyone was awake but I was drunk alone, "I really don't know."
Aunt Mei came and whispered a few words into Luo Changan's ear.
Luo Changan blushed after hearing this, and after a while he said, "Oh... okay. Then I don't know. I really didn't ask on purpose."
It was originally used between husband and wife to promote feelings and increase interest.
She was really a fool just now, actually asking the emperor what kind of medicine it was. Now, recalling the emperor's expression, she really had the urge to bite her tongue and commit suicide.
Luo Changan buried his head in the quilt, exerted his ostrich spirit, and comforted himself, it doesn't matter, as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
***
The snow had fallen a bit more heavily this morning. Luo Changan thought that he would not be reincarnated in this country of ice and snow in his next life. I wonder if his relatives will still have cold winters in Western Paradise.
The deed of sale that Luo Changan signed when she entered the palace clearly defined her rank and rank. Her rank was that of a ninth-grade maid, and her job was to serve the master's daily life and make rounds every night.
At that time, she thought that at least she was still a genuine ninth-grade servant, a high-ranking slave.
After entering the palace, I realized that among the slaves and slaves in the palace, the lowest rank was the tenth grade.
The little maids who work in the cold palace are from the ninth rank, and the laundry slaves in the Huanyi Pavilion are from the tenth rank. Usually the older ones and those who have made mistakes will be assigned to the laundry pavilion to do menial and heavy work.
In other words, Luo Changan's rank is slightly higher than that of the cold palace maids and laundry slaves.
Aunt Mei entered the palace at the age of fifteen. After fifteen years, she was promoted to the second rank. Her position was imperial attendant, which means the female officer next to the emperor. She managed the maids in the emperor's palace.
Luo Changan scratched his hair irritably. Not to mention getting promoted, he promised to be a concubine. If he didn't keep it, he would be demoted to a slave in the cold palace because he contradicted the emperor. There were so many women trying to compete for the emperor's favor. How could she, Luo Changan, be so special? She looked like this now.
The body has also lost its function, and it has lost its attraction to the emperor, or it has never been attractive.
Aunt Mei entered the dragon's bed holding a fluffy blanket.
"Chang'an, stop scratching your head. If you are young and sigh all day long, your good luck will be sighed away."
"Aunt Mei, what are you holding?" Luo Changan quickly stopped sighing and locked his few luck in his body.
"This is a rare thing. Come and touch this velvet blanket and quilt cover. Gold is very valuable. We are serving in the dragon's bed, so we don't see much more than others." Aunt Mei put the velvet blanket and quilt cover on the
On the dragon bed, he waved to Luo Changan.
Luo Changan also became curious. He hung his hair behind his ears and walked over. He reached out and touched the blanket. It was warm and not cold at all. He smiled and said, "Aunt Mei, this blanket is so warm."
ah."
Aunt Mei had a look on her face and said loudly: "The tribute gift from the Western Regions vassal dynasty came to the palace yesterday. It is said that this blanket is made of twenty white fox furs mixed with wool.
Yes, this set has forty white fox furs on both sides, which are covered with ten thousand pieces of gold. This purebred white fox is a sacred object in the Western Regions. If you kill one, you will lose one, which is extremely precious.
"
"It sounds weird and bloody. The things are good, but there are too many killings behind them." Luo Changan sighed, feeling very fragile and unable to think about killing. His eyes were filled with tears when he thought about it. He had suffered an extermination of his family, and he had no idea what happened to the white-furred fox.
Can easily empathize.
All living things are born to be killed for human enjoyment. Luo Changan's noble nature is the result of reading poetry and books since he was a child.
"You girl are different from others. Others only think that this blanket cover is precious and rare, and they see its bright and beautiful side. You are so calm at this situation. Not only do you not feel that it is precious, but you feel sorry for those foxes."
Luo Chang'an didn't say anything. He grew up in a wealthy family and had seen some rare gadgets and antiques and treasures, so he was not keen on luxury goods. Now that his family is ruined, apart from revenge, he is not keen on anything else.
Aunt Mei continued: "There are two sets in total. The emperor is famous for his filial piety, so he first sent someone to give one set to the Queen Mother. The rest of the sets were wanted by all the ladies in the harem, but the emperor did not give them to anyone.
, but he kept it by himself and taught Eunuch Hai to send it to the Dragon Nest. You are lucky, Chang'an."
"The emperor keeps it for his own use and doesn't give it to me. How can I be so lucky?"
Luo Changan's tone was resentful.
The emperor has always been fair and impartial to the ladies of the palace. Only this way, no matter which palace the queen is given to, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of other palaces. Keep it by yourself to avoid disputes.
Aunt Mei looked at Luo Changan with a meaningful smile for a while, pinched the tip of Luo Changan's nose, "At least you won't be punished when warming the bed. The emperor is busy with the pilgrimage from the Western Regions, but he spends half the month in the side hall of the imperial study in the front hall.
Get some rest. Did you sleep well at night?"
Luo Changan looked at the snow outside the window, then nodded and said honestly: "It's been very cold in the past half month. I don't remember it being this cold in the past. The last half month has suddenly become colder several times. The bedding has been ice cold all night."
Luo Changan thought, it was a coincidence that the emperor had not been here for half a month, otherwise he would have had to replace the bed heater, and her heater was of no use.
Aunt Mei felt funny. It wasn't because the weather was suddenly cold, but because the emperor didn't come to warm her little ice pimple on the bed.
"Look, now that the emperor has kept this blanket for himself, are you lucky? But not everyone can climb onto the dragon's bed."
Luo Changan smiled bitterly, "Aunt Mei, you are making fun of me again. Please don't mention this matter again. If others hear it, they will really think that I don't know my duty. A ninth-grade maid treats me like a green onion."
"Okay, I won't make fun of you anymore. You can spread this blanket." Aunt Mei said and walked out of the house, muttering as she walked, "Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, this damn girl is active when she eats, but she can't find anything when working.
She, I have to go to her mother to ask what this means and teach her mother to give her a spanking. Xiaotao!"
Xiao Tao's nervous voice was heard from far away from the kitchen, "Here it comes, here it comes, Aunt Mei, the servant is here."
Luo Changan smiled for a long time. Although Aunt Mei and Xiao Tao were noisy, they still felt like family members. Xiao Tao's parents were both servants in the palace, and her father was responsible for the kitchen and grocery shopping.
For work, her mother was a tenth-grade laundry slave in the emperor's laundry room. Xiao Tao always went to the kitchen. Sometimes delicacies that did not suit the taste of the masters were sent back. Not a single chopstick was touched, and they were all clean.
It's a pity to lose it, Xiaotao can get something delicious from time to time.
