Chapter 17: Xiao Ji's calculations
Xiao Yiqiu returned to his expression when he left Jifangyuan, Ya'er and Yao'er were stunned for a moment, the two looked at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes, yes! Such a capricious and inscrutable master is the most difficult to wait. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Yiqiu took the maid to Yiqiu Courtyard and happened to meet Xingqi outside Linghui Building, Xingqi naturally knew her, and the scene of that night was still vivid.
"The slave maid has seen Xiao Ji" She bowed to Xiao Yiqiu, and muttered dissatisfiedly, it's too big, why can't she eat much.
Xiao Yiqiu looked at the respectful maid in front of her, she was a little younger, but there was a faint look of a fallen city between her eyebrows and eyes. "Whose maid are you?" Xiao Yiqiu thought, in two years, she will definitely crown the palace, if it is the maid of Tanglin Zhixuan, and it is also a personal maid, when the prince accepts her, he will definitely threaten his status, thinking about her eyes, she can't help but darken, whether she wants to pull her out when she has not yet grown into a towering tree.
"Back to Xiao Ji, the slave is the eldest maid waiting for the prince. Xingqi replied cautiously, not knowing that he had been remembered.
Although it is difficult for Israel to serve people for a long time, she must eradicate any factors that threaten her status, and Xiao Yiqiu has decided to get rid of the little maid in front of her. "What's your name?" she asked again.
"The slave and maid are called Yan'er. ”
How could Xingqi, who was not deeply involved in the world, think that she would be remembered because she might become a beauty in the future, she respectfully watched Xiao Ji brush her sleeves away, feeling strange about the uneasiness in her heart just now, but she didn't think much about it and turned away.
She moved to the room next to Qingqi, and she didn't have many things to clean up quickly. The stale color in the room is very simple, and it is not clear whether it is a man's room or a woman's boudoir. But it was much better than the old Chase shop, and she looked at the room carefully, and it seemed that it was time to add something.
She had just sat down on the delicately carved bed, and the call of calligraphy and painting came from outside the room. She quickly got up and went to open the door, "Sister Calligraphy and Painting, what's the matter?" she said and stepped out of the way, wanting to invite her in and sit down.
The calligraphy and painting hands were folded in front of his abdomen, and the usual smile was on his face, "The prince has returned to the house and passed the lunch, you come with me to the front hall to wait." ”
Xing Yan hurriedly tidied up her appearance, closed the door and followed the calligraphy and painting to the front hall, and the calligraphy and painting were explaining how she should wait along the way. In fact, for these star diaphragms, she had practiced in Tianxianglou before, but her current identity is an ordinary little palace maid in the palace Huanyi Bureau, so naturally she can't show it, she listened respectfully to the calligraphy and painting, and did not speak.
"Every meal of the prince needs to be tested for poison in advance, and then it can be served in front of the prince, and the prince must stand aside and wait when he eats, and use chopsticks to serve the prince's dishes. The calligraphy and painting were explained one by one, and the others didn't say much, as for whether they could do it well, it was not something she should care about.
Listening to the teaching of calligraphy and painting, Xing Yan couldn't help but think of Wen Niang. She was like this at the beginning, teaching herself the same way, and she never tired of it over and over again. I don't know how she is now, why don't I contact myself, thinking that the light in my eyes has dimmed. Xingqi was so engrossed that her expression became sad, and she didn't even notice that the calligraphy and painting in front of her stopped, and almost crashed into her back.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Shushu suspiciously.
"No! nothing. Xingqi replied a little panicked.
Calligraphy and Painting glanced at her deeply, and did not blame her for going in and ordering someone to go to the front hall with a meal. Xingqi didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he put away his thoughts and followed the calligraphy and painting with his head down.
The calligraphy and painting stretched out his white fingers to push open the carved red door, and a screen of white jade embroidered mountains and rivers stood inside. Ten maids with trays came in one by one, standing respectfully in a line.
Calligraphy and painting raised her hand to signal, Xingqi nodded and picked up the porcelain bowl and wooden chopsticks from a maid's tray, she elegantly took the wooden chopsticks and gently picked up a small piece in each dish, and sent it into the cherry-colored mouth.
After tasting everything, Xingqi put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood for a while, before nodding at the calligraphy and painting to indicate that there was no problem. The calligraphy and painting received a look, and waved his hand for the maids to bring in.
Behind the screen, Tanglin Zhixuan sat on the main seat, and Xiao Yiqiu was wearing a light green tunic skirt on the second position, simple but more concave and convex, with a snake bun on his head, and a few white jade hairpins inserted in his hair.
The maids put down the dishes and bowed out, Xingqi followed in only to see that Xiao Yiqiu was also there, Qingqi was already standing aside and waiting, she picked up the silver chopsticks and began to serve Dongling Zhixuan.
Xingqi had to walk to Xiao Yiqiu's side, pick up the porcelain chopsticks on the table, and pick up a piece of squirrel osmanthus fish and put it in the lacquered porcelain bowl in front of Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji glanced at the fish in the bowl and did not move her chopsticks.
Seeing the situation here, Dong Ling Zhixuan put down the jade chopsticks in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Ji got up and blessed Dong Lingzhixuan, "The concubine just has a bad appetite today. ”
Dong Ling Zhixuan didn't raise his eyes and said, "That is the case, if the concubine is not resting well in Yiqiu Courtyard, why take the initiative to accompany this king to eat." ”
Dong Ling Zhixuan said it without being tactful, Xiao Yiqiu was choked and speechless for a while, according to the set plot, it shouldn't be like this, this Dong Ling Zhixuan is too uneasy to play cards!
Xiao Yiqiu blinked her eyes and said affectionately: "Lord Wang, the concubine just wants to see you every day! Only when the prince is by his side, the concubine's careful liver can have a sense of security." The voice is soft and glutinous, full of coquettish little woman posture.
"Oh! Xiao Ji is blaming me for not doing a good job in the security of the palace?" Dong Ling Zhixuan looked at Xiao Ji and said expressionlessly, and then said dissatisfiedly behind him. "Tong Fei, someone is questioning your ability!"
Xiao Yiqiu complained about Dongling Zhixuan in his heart, this Duan Wang is too unlucky, he is so coquettish, he can't afford it. Although I thought so in my heart, I was shy on my face. She leaned on Dong Ling Zhixuan's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Lord, the concubine doesn't mean this, the concubine likes the princess tightly, and people want to see you every day." ”
Dong Ling Zhixuan smiled and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist and put her on his lap, he stretched out his fingers to pick her chin, "Really?"
Xiao Yiqiu nodded shyly and buried her head in Dong Ling Zhixuan's chest. Dong Lingzhixuan, who was holding her, smelled the fat powder on her body, frowned slightly, and a look of impatience flashed in his eyes, if it wasn't for the person behind him, he would have thrown her out a long time ago.
Dongling Zhixuan let her lie in his arms for a while, Xiao Yiqiu thought that he would retreat and make out with himself for a while. Who knew that what was waiting was "Xiao Ji, if she has rested enough, let's get up and eat." ”
