Chapter 10 Chrysanthemum Tea

A gust of wind blew the pomegranate flowers in the courtyard to the ground.

Lu Ji sat on the Luohan bed with one hand on the kang table, watching several little palace maids work in and out of the window, and felt a little sentimental in his heart.

At this time, the plants and trees of the Lu family should also be shaded.

"Sister-"

As soon as Lu Ji heard it, he knew that it was Mei Honeysuckle who was coming.

I have been sick for a few days, and I didn't go out, Mei Ren came to accompany her to relieve her boredom in winter, and Lu Ji was also quite moved in her heart.

It's just that today, I didn't let anyone report it, Mei Honeysuckle bumped in, and she was happy, is there anything good?

"What's so happy?" Lu Ji smiled and pulled her to sit down.

"My sister looks better than yesterday. Mei Honeysuckle looked at her face carefully, and said mysteriously, "Guess what I got?"

Lu Ji smiled and shook his head, "Seeing that I am uncomfortable, you will sell Guan Zi to bully me." ”

"I don't dare to bully my sister!" Mei Rongdong hurriedly waved her hand and asked Gan Yu to call peace and joy in, "I let Gan Yu go to the imperial pharmacy for several days, and today I finally gave it." ”

Mei Rongdong took the medicine bowl from Ping'an's hand, carefully blew a few sips, and was about to feed Lu Ji to drink.

"Little Master Mei, I'll come!" the waiter hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

Mei Honeysuckle smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll treat my sister as my own sister." My sister is careful to burn it, I let them just fry it. ”

After getting along for a while, Lu Ji also knew that she was sincere to herself, so she didn't let her, let her feed herself and drink medicine, and her heart was warm.

It's just strange, how could those people let go of their mouths for no reason?

After serving Lu Ji and drinking the medicine, Mei Rongdong blinked her eyes again, and said with a mischievous smile: "Sister, guess again, what other good things did I bring?"

She likes to play children's tricks, and she doesn't pretend to be, she is really innocent and cute.

Lu Ji smiled and was about to speak, but Mei Rendong had already taken out an emerald blue dotted emerald hairpin from behind Gan Yu and put it on for her with a smile.

"This is ......" Lu Ji was a little surprised.

Mei Rongdong looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Sister looks so good on it." Now we don't have high taste, so we can only wear this. The emperor gave two branches, and I used them to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. ”

Lu Ji looked at her head, and sure enough, there was one too.

Mei Honeysuckle was probably the first to be rewarded by the emperor, so it's no wonder that the people in the imperial pharmacy didn't dare to be embarrassed anymore.

Lu Ji thought about it for a while, then sorted out the clue, and asked her with a smile: "The emperor has been going to you for the past two days, right?"

Mei Nindong was stunned for a moment, "Sister......"

Lu Ji looked at her nervous appearance, and laughed out loud, "What are you afraid of, are you afraid that I will be jealous?"

Mei Honeysuckle smiled and rolled into her arms, "Sister won't, Honeysuckle won't eat sister's vinegar, sister is born beautiful, dance well, the emperor should like sister." ”

Lu Ji hugged her and smiled a little sourly.

It wasn't a serious illness in the first place, but after half a month, Lu Ji recovered as before.

During this period, Zhao Zhiyin came to see her once, and as soon as Lu Ji heard that the palace maid was coming to the emperor, he was busy hiding in the quilt and pretending to sleep, and the palace maids of all sizes also cooperated, some couldn't bear to laugh and not poke her, and some hated in their hearts, and they couldn't say it.

Zhao Zhiyin also understood in his heart that seeing that she still had the strength to pretend to be sick, he didn't care about her, smiled and left.

Except for the servant, everyone didn't understand what she was doing hiding from the emperor, why she didn't take the opportunity to ask the emperor for mercy.

What's the use of such pity? "Even if I don't go, Zining won't come", whether she is in this deep palace or not, Lu Ji doesn't want to be such a complaining woman.

What she wants is to have a clean place in each other's hearts, even if they can't be together all the time, their hearts are like relying on each other.

But now, that's a real hope.

At least at present, Zhao Zhiyin's weight in her heart is really not so heavy.

She would also wonder how she had fallen into this quagmire, and her current situation seemed to be completely contrary to her expectations.

But the matter has come to this, and the cause she planted with her own hands is now only hoping to have time to reap a good fruit.

Fortunately, there is Mei Rendong, who relies on her and trusts her, and Lu Ji will not fall into the predicament of "embattled".

"The plum cakes and green plum preserves sent by the little plum lord yesterday are really delicious. ”

Tingqi sat on a tall pestle on the side of the pedal, holding a thin bamboo embroidered needlework basket to pick up the thread, his legs dangling in the air, seemingly casually speaking.

Lu Ji knew that she was greedy, so he asked Yinyi, "Is there anything left?"

Yinyi brewed half of the tea, looked at the Qi Nunu mouth, and said with a smile: "The little master ate it and ordered us to divide it, and the rest is not all in the stomach of this little ancestor!"

Listening to the chess stick out his tongue and giggle.

The waiter laughed at her: "If they don't send it today, do we still want to go?"

Lu Ji shook his head with a smile, and continued to learn needlework from the waiter with the embroidery bandage.

When the waiter's mother was alive, she was a famous embroiderer in Beijing, and the waiter learned from a young age, and the needlework was also excellent, even many old mothers could not compare.

It's just that Lu Ji has never been attentive to the needle girl, and now she is temporarily clinging to the Buddha's feet, wanting to embroider some flowers, and she is not very confident in her heart, but the waiter has always told her to relax, saying that it is still a long time, and she has time to learn slowly, so she can put her mind at ease.

Between the two of them, there is always one who can stabilize the other.

Tingqi suddenly pouted and said worriedly, "There are also those pearls and gems sent by the little master Mei, so colorful and golden, they look golden, I heard that they were paid tribute by Persia......"

He asked himself again, "Why does the emperor always think about the little master Mei and don't come to see our little master much?" It must be that the little master is always hiding from the emperor, and the emperor is angry. Why does the good little master keep hiding from the emperor......"

"You don't pick up the line well, just say something that you don't have. The waiter reprimanded, paused, and said with a smile, "What the little master does, naturally she has her reason, you don't have to bother guessing, I'm tired of you!"

Lu Ji laughed and listened to the words of listening to chess.

In a few days, in addition to those snacks, Mei Honeysuckle also brought many beaded bracelets rewarded by Zhao Zhiyin one after another, not to mention Lu Ji, no other palace has received so many such valuable rewards.

At first, Lu Ji also guessed that Zhao Zhiyin deliberately approached Mei Honeysuckle for his own sake, so that the people in the imperial pharmacy could relax.

Now it seems that he probably really likes Mei Honeysuckle's cuteness.

It's just that Zhong Cui Palace and Yanxi Palace don't know how to be sour, Lu Ji couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

"Little master, let's have a cup of tea," Yin Yi took the tea, "There are wild chrysanthemums sent by Imperial Doctor Song in it to clear away heat and prevent heatstroke." Imperial Physician Song said that in the future, if the imperial pharmacy does not administer medicine, we should find Imperial Physician Song and Imperial Physician Du, why should we keep delaying it?"

"The Imperial Pharmacy also acts according to orders, and if it troubles them, won't it make them go against others?" Lu Ji shook his head and lowered his head to take a sip.

"Those people are really hateful!" Listening to chess, gritting his teeth and hating.

"This tea is sweet and not astringent, you all drink some to avoid the heat. Lu Ji said, and then turned his head and asked Yinyi, "What about Lingge?"

"Lingge and Honoka went to the room, and the slave maid made another pot for the people below. ”

The waiter stood up: "The slave and maid will inform them." ”

Lu Ji bowed his head, "Shishu, when you come back, you can accompany me to the garden for a walk." Touching the back of his neck and smiling, "After sitting for so long, my neck is really a little sore." ”

As soon as he heard the chess, he immediately put down the sewing basket and jumped off the pestle, and sat behind her obediently and pounded her shoulders for her, "What about me, little master?"

Lu Ji smiled and nodded her nose: "You, obediently divide the silk threads!"

Listening to the chess, he pouted for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "Then when the emperor likes it, he will reward the little master with something delicious, and the little master should think more about listening to chess." ”

Lu Ji nodded her forehead again, smiled and shook her head: "You, you......"

The waiter went out for a while and came in with Lingge Honoka, and said with a smile: "These two are back, and I heard that the little master is hanging, so I am in a hurry to come in." ”

Yinyi carried the pot and said strangely: "I was about to take it to the next room." ”

Lu Jiwaner: "Okay." ”

It's just that Lingge Honoka's expression at the moment is a little weird, and she is a little confused.

Honoka drank a big drink, there were a little fine beads of sweat on her forehead, her round and full cheeks were slightly red, and a hint of cunning flashed in her dark black eyes: "The little master is so good to us, what the slaves and maids do is worth it." ”

Lu Ji was a little surprised, but he had to nod and smile, suspicious in his heart.
