Xia Qingxin finally woke up at around ten o'clock. She stretched out and immediately felt so comfortable. Sure enough, sleeping can solve everything. She was in a happy mood at the moment and her stomach was growling. She was supposed to eat today in her hometown.
As for dumplings, it’s a pity that the palace only allows eating big fish and meat, so I’d better make dumplings by myself.
"Qingcheng, are you there?" Xia Qingxin put on her clothes and opened the door to look for Xia Qingcheng. Eating dumplings is a group activity, so it would be better to find more talents.
"Sister, why do you dare to come out without washing up? Come in quickly, Bihe, get water for sister to wash up." Xia Qingcheng saw Xia Qingxin with her head exposed at the door and hurriedly pushed her back to the door.
How many concubines are there? They won’t laugh out loud when someone sees them later.
"Give me the simplest hairstyle today, preferably braided or something like that. I have to work, and it can't be too complicated, otherwise it will affect my performance. You will also notify me later that everyone will switch to combat mode and put me in battle mode."
Bring over all the aprons I asked you to make last time, so that none of the group of people who will come later can escape."
It's time for her to play her role as a queen. This is the first time she has held a group activity since she entered the palace. She has already thought of the theme of this team building, let's call it reunion, haha.
"Sister, you have explained so many things in one breath. What are you planning to do?"
What a moth.
"Hahaha, don't worry about it. Clean it up quickly for me. You go and do the good things I told you." Xia Qingxin was excited when she thought about a group of beauties making dumplings later. How could she not be excited for the first team-building activity? It happened to be her own
If you want to eat dumplings, let them work. This will save you the whole day with nothing to do but just intrigue.
"Xiao Lizi, Xiao Xiezi, go to the imperial kitchen and find some northerners for me, and ask whoever is good at the interview to come over."
"Yes, slaves, go right away." It seems that the Queen is going to make delicious food again, so she must hurry up and maybe she can still eat it at noon.
"Sister, I've packed it up, then I'm going to find something."
"Go on, go on, I have to go do some work." Xia Qingxin patted her face and walked to the hall with high spirits. When the concubines saw the queen coming out, they all stood up to pay their respects.
"See you, the Queen. I wish the Queen a happy new year and all the best."
"Come on, I haven't played with the sisters since I came here. Today is the first day of the new year. I suddenly thought that we should do something meaningful together outside. Xiaoqing Xiaokong
, you bring up the aprons and distribute them to all the ladies to wear. Bihe, go find someone to fill the hall with tables and benches, organize the things in the kitchen and move them out, so that everyone can liven up together outside."
Everyone was confused. Originally, a queen was going to hold a snow viewing party. Who knew what it meant to send them these weird things?
After a while, the palace people quickly put the needed things on the case. Xia Qingxin looked at these things and nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao Lizi, write down the names of these people. Everyone who works today has a red envelope."
." Anyway, it's not her money, it's all Baili Mingyu's. If it's not in vain, don't spend it.
At this time, Baili Mingyu got up and brought Hu Xiaorong. Before she got up, the imperial edict had already come down. It said that Hu Xiaorong was knowledgeable and sensible, and so on. Anyway, he just said that she was good, and finally he was granted the title of Zhaoyi. It seems that from now on
It's not far from becoming a concubine.
"The Emperor has arrived! Hu Zhaoyi has arrived!"
Baili Mingyu also came to join in the fun, just in time, let's make dumplings together.
"See you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is here just in time. I am organizing dumplings for my sisters. I also said that they would cook them and deliver them to the Emperor. Your Majesty is here just in time. You can also take a look at your sisters' craftsmanship."
Things will be easier once Baili Mingyu comes over, no one dares to be lazy, haha, this time there is another joke.
"Is that so? I'm still lucky. All my beloved concubines, please come together. The emperor has spoken and everyone should behave well."
When I heard that my brother was as excited as if he had been given a shot of blood, I must perform well this time.
"Your Majesty, I think that since it is an event, there must be a bonus, don't you? What do you think, Your Majesty?" I agree, it will definitely be good for me to hold this event.
"Okay, since it was the queen who said it, let's do it as you want. Your decision is my decision." Baili Mingyu agreed with a wave of his hand. He felt that Xia Qingxin was quite creative, and every time
It was very unusual to organize anything, so he was looking forward to it this time.
"Okay, I would like to thank the emperor first. All the sisters are very kind. Let's see who can make dumplings this time. After half an hour, the third place will be selected. The reward for the first place is to accompany the emperor tonight.
If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
Xia Qingxin stood in front of Baili Mingyu and talked about it. This way, many people will compete for the first place. Not only can she eat enough dumplings, but it will also make them hate each other in the days to come. It's great,
Ha ha.
"Will the queen sister participate?" Concubine Ning spoke first. If the queen does not participate, the first place will definitely be hers. Let's see who among them dares to go against her openly.
Xuanyuan Wulei saw her plan from the side and immediately said: "Sister Queen, is it true that anyone with the ability can be the number one?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone followed and agreed. Everyone wanted to know if it was true. After all, Concubine Ning was here to suppress them. She wanted to win but didn't dare.
"I won't participate. Sisters, don't worry. I will give you this opportunity. Don't hide your strength. The emperor and I are watching here. Anyone of you who is lazy or cheating can see it. I will speak
Do the math, let’s get started.”
Xia Qingxin's explanation gave hope to those in the lower ranks of the imperial concubine below. As long as they could wrap things up quickly and well, they would be able to accompany the emperor to bed. She must show off her special skills.
Baili Mingyu looked at Xia Qingxin's beaming face and was in a very good mood, so he just let her go. It was a lucky draw for the Chinese New Year. Do whatever makes you happy. He hasn't been this happy for many years. This kind of
The atmosphere really feels like home.
"My beloved concubine, come and play backgammon with me for a while." It was rare that Baili Mingyu was interested. Xia Qingxin couldn't refuse. She also felt that playing backgammon was not good. She suddenly remembered that she had made a pair of mahjong in her spare time last time.
Let's play mahjong.
"Your Majesty, I have a new thing, do you want to teach it to the Pope? But four people have to play together. What if two people are missing?"
Xia Qingxin suddenly remembered that every year during the Chinese New Year, she would find a few friends to play mahjong together. Although she couldn't kill everyone, she could still win some pocket money. If she played with these newbies again, she would definitely win but not lose.
Just thinking about it makes my hands itch.
"Your Majesty, can my concubine come and play?" came the sweet voice, which made Xia Qingxin's skin crawl all over. It was Hu Xiaorong who didn't like it when she saw him. She looked like a green tea bitch.
"I said Hu Zhaoyi, don't all the concubines include you? Why are you still standing there? You didn't see Concubine Ning. Concubine Ling is still making dumplings. Yesterday, I praised you for being knowledgeable and sensible. Why are you so confused now?
"
Xia Qingxin frowned and looked at her. Everyone was playing happily together, but she didn't cooperate and ran out to act like a fool. It was really disgusting.
Xia Qingxin's tone was not good to begin with, and because she disliked the involuntary amplification of her voice, all the people making dumplings below stopped what they were doing and looked at her angrily, wishing they could burn two holes in Hu Xiaorong's body.
"Rong'er, why don't you come back soon? What a joke! Are you going to completely embarrass our Hu family?" Xuanyuan Wulei was also very angry. A concubine is a concubine. She really can't stand on the stage. She will dig her own grave.
matter.
Hu Xiaorong burst into tears when she scolded her like this, and looked at the emperor with grievance. Xia Qingxin knew Baili Mingyu's character too well. The woman he wanted was just a whim. She had no intention at all, and women were just...
The thing he used to consolidate his imperial power was no better than a piece of rag for a tired woman.
Hu Xiaorong was looking for death by doing this. The displeasure in Baili Mingyu's eyes flashed away, but thinking that she was really comfortable serving him, his attitude softened: "Rong'er, don't mess around, hurry up and let them compete.
Let me also try Ronger's craftsmanship."
"Yes, my concubine knows." Hu Xiaorong failed to act coquettishly, so she could only go to the table in Chapter 1 to prepare dumplings.
The dumpling-making competition was in full swing in Fengchu Palace, and the servants outside were heard singing: "Prince Xi, Prince Xuan is here."
Hey, Baili Mingxi is here too. I wonder if he brought Qingzhu with him.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I wish you a happy new year." The two of them saluted. Xia Qingxin secretly winked at Baili Mingxi. Is Qingzhu here?
Baili Mingxi smiled and said: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The emperor thought that there is a delicacy that the emperor must have never eaten, so he called the cook to come into the palace to make something for the emperor. It just so happens that we are also brothers.
The three of us haven't had a drink together for a long time, how about we just have a drink together?"
"Oh? The three emperors also brought delicious food today, so we can eat dumplings together."
Baili Mingxuan looked at his brother's busy concubines and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Whose idea was it to let a group of concubines do the work of cooks? It was also very strange.
Xia Qingxin looked at Baili Mingxuan with dissatisfaction and said: "Why is the Fifth Emperor dissatisfied with my actions? My team building is quite meaningful."
"Fifth brother doesn't dare. Just now I was thinking that the person organizing this event must be an interesting person. Unexpectedly, it turns out to be the emperor's wife. Fifth brother really admires her."
That's okay. Xia Qingxin curled her lips and dared to laugh at her team-building activities. Be careful that she would give him laxatives later. (To be continued)
