Chapter 44: Overboard
"Even if your master asks you to do something unseemly, will you do it?" Wan Xiu raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were about to shoot arrows.
Li Anyue was a little shocked in her heart, how could this Wan Xiu ask such a question, "Auntie is too worried." The emperor's concubines are all selected after thousands of selections, and their character and temperament are naturally different from ordinary women, so how can they do those things that bother the emperor. ”
"Wan Xiu, you have been in the palace for many years, why don't you even know what to say, what to say and what not to say! How can these questions be asked, and when people with bad intentions hear it, they think that you are destroying the atmosphere of the harem and ruining the reputation of the girls, how can you afford to bear the guilt? . Even Millennium frowned slightly at this time and whispered to her.
"Yes, what Aunt Lian said is that the slave maid lost her words." Wan Xiu also realized his gaffe and quickly admitted his mistake.
"Okay, Li Anyue, you go out first, let the next one come in." Even Millennium didn't blame Wan Xiu much in front of Li Anyue, but her tone was a little serious.
Li Anyue retreated after saluting the two, she was also nervous, especially when Wan Xiu asked a question, her palms were already covered with a thin layer of sweat, but the more nervous she was, the calmer her face must be. After coming out, Ke'er and the others immediately gathered around and asked the aunts what they asked, Li Anyue smiled and said that it was just some ordinary daily problems, nothing, Ke'er believed Li Anyue unconditionally, so she was relieved when she heard it, and the look on her face was not so nervous.
By the time everyone had gone in, two hours had passed, and then it was the assessment of the groups, with ten people in each group, and there were familiar people around, so everyone was not so nervous, so it was almost completed smoothly. After a month of training by the aunts, the girls are already familiar with the rules and etiquette of the palace, so now their posture is much more proficient than when they first entered the palace, of course, there are some who will forget their movements or their movements are not standardized because of nervousness.
Finally, there is a two-person tea pouring and tea serving assessment, which is mainly to assess whether the waiters have mastered the etiquette of pouring tea and drinking tea. According to the law of the first group and the second group, the sixth group where Li Anyue belongs corresponds to the people in the fifth group. Partnered with Li Anyue is a thin girl, with a small face, thin fingers, and a thin waist, the whole person feels soft and weak, and it feels like it will be carried away as soon as the wind blows, from the beginning the eyebrows and eyes have been low, and occasionally looking up and meeting Li Anyue's gaze quickly moved away, Li Anyue thought to herself that this girl is really easy to be shy.
The two of them knelt down at the low table facing each other, and Li Anyue poured tea for her first. Li Anyue pulled up her sleeves a little, revealing Yujie's wrist, put the celadon cup in front of her, lifted the lid and put it on the plate, lifted the teapot with her right hand, the teapot was just served with boiling water, she gently fixed the teapot lid with her left hand, pressed down her wrist and poured the teapot close to the mouth of the teacup, the hot water vapor came up, and then raised the wrist to lift the teapot, so high and low poured three times, and finally poured to almost 7 points when the wrist was broken to collect the water, this action is called the phoenix three nods, Each step must be mastered just right to be perfect. Then hold the index finger and middle finger of the right hand on the outside of the cup, the thumb is close to the inside of the cup, and the left hand holds the bottom of the cup with the index finger and middle finger, and the thumb is gently placed on the side of the cup, and it is firmly handed to the girl.
The girl nodded and took it aside, and poured the tea like Li Anyue did, but sometimes her hands would tremble a little. Li Anyue saw that she was a little nervous, and smiled at her when she served tea, but she didn't expect that the girl shook her hand when Li Anyue took the cup, and the water in the cup splashed on Li Anyue's hand, Li Anyue reflexively let go of her hand, and the teacup fell to the ground.
"It's not even good for a cup of tea, have you learned everything in vain this month?" Wan Xiu looked at the teacup on the ground and questioned the two of them sharply. When the girl saw that she was angry, she quickly knelt on the ground to admit her mistake, and Li Anyue had to kneel down as well, but she didn't say anything.
Wan Xiu saw that she pursed her lips and didn't speak, and the expression on her face couldn't help but look difficult, "Li Anyue, looking at your appearance, do you think I wronged you?" ”
"My aunt is serious, but the slave doesn't dare. It's just that the slave doesn't know what she did wrong, and she still hopes that her aunt will make it clear. Li Anyue didn't understand how Wanxiu was holding on to herself today, as if she wanted her to grow pigtails and hold them firmly in the palm of her hand.
"Hmph, you don't dare? I think you're so bold that you don't even know what's wrong with you? Wan Xiu sneered, and her tone was full of meanness.
"Yes, Aunt Wan, you can tell me what happened to Li Anyue, I also want to hear it." Lian Qianxi took a sip of water from the teacup and watched Wanxiu slowly open his mouth.
Wan Xiu saw that Lian Qianxi opened her mouth, and her tone calmed down a little, "Aunt Lian, you see that Li Anyue doesn't practice well on weekdays, and even if she causes trouble, she is still so reckless in today's exam, is this selection of waiters a game?" If you disturb the emperor like today, how can you get it? How can such a person be suitable to stay in the palace! ”
"What Aunt Wan said seems to make a lot of sense. However, I just saw that Li Anyue's posture of pouring tea and serving tea is very qualified, and I silently praised this kid in my heart for doing really well, and it seems that he usually practices well. I also saw that the teacup was broken just now, it was Fang Qingluo who didn't hold it well and spilled the water, and it was reasonable for Li Anyue to be burned to let go, I don't know if Aunt Wan didn't see the facts clearly before she said these surprising words. Lian Qianxi saw Wan Xiu's embarrassed face, and said, "I know that Aunt Wan loves talents and is very strict with these children, which is a good thing, but it can't be too harsh and hurt their hearts." Lian Qianxi's words were very clever, not only taking care of Wan Xiu's face, but also saying good things for Li Anyue.
"What even my aunt said is that the slave just hates iron and steel, and just now she was in a hurry and didn't grasp the proportions." Wan Xiu didn't expect that even the millennium would speak for Li Anyue, and when she heard her words later, she also went down the steps.
"It's okay, since it's a misunderstanding, don't mind. Li Anyue, you don't have to stay here in the future, let's go to the Tai Hospital to treat the wound first, so as not to leave a scar. Lian Qianxi nodded and said to Li Anyue.
"Yes, thank you, Auntie." Li Anyue hurriedly saluted out, and the burns on her hands were hot at this time, so she could only keep blowing cool air on it, trying to relieve the uncomfortable feeling, but after a while, the burning feeling returned.
Li Anyue's box did not have scalding medicine, she could only go to the Tai Hospital as instructed, and to go to the Tai Hospital, she had to go through the Jing Garden first, which was a small garden, with rockeries, swings, and a lot of begonia flowers. There was a small pond behind the rockery, Li Anyue walked over quickly, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and put the handkerchief wet on his hand, the cold water temporarily relieved the pain on the back of his hand. Li Anyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her frowning brows also relaxed.
But at this time, Li Anyue heard the sound on the other side of the rockery, looked up and saw a purple cloth exposed at the corner of the rockery, and immediately thought of the purple-clothed Shenyue Haoqing he met two days ago, and subconsciously wanted to hide. But after a while, I found out that what came out from behind the rockery was a child dressed in purple, about ten years old.
"Haha, hide here, Xiaohua they will definitely not find me, and I will go out when they all surrender." Looking at the group of people outside who ran to other places to look for him, Shenyue Haozhe couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment, covering his mouth and snickering, while retreating with a cat.
Li Anyue rarely talks about gossip with those women, of course she doesn't know that this is the Twelve Princes Shenyue Haozhe. I just felt that it was fortunate that it was not Shenyue Haoqing, so I let go of my hanging heart, and turned around and planned to leave. But when I heard an exclamation of "ah" and the sound of "plopping" into the water, I realized what was happening, and I secretly screamed in my heart.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Shenyue Haozhe's small body fluttering in the water, shouting for help intermittently, Li Anyue wanted to call someone, but there was no one outside the rockery, and he couldn't take care of it so much in his heart, so he jumped down. It's only early spring now, and at the beginning of April, the water is still very cold, and Li Anyue in the water can't help but shiver, and can't care so much, so she has to wipe the water off her face and quickly swim towards Shenyue Haozhe.
Li Anyue finally realized how the people who went into the water to save people before died, as the so-called opponents who are not afraid of gods are afraid of teammates like pigs, as soon as Shenyue Haozhe grabbed Li Anyue's hand, the whole person hung on her, Li Anyue finally lifted him out of the water to breathe, and was pressed into the water by him and choked a few mouthfuls of water. This bear child, when he goes ashore, he has to be educated well.
After trying his best to push Shenyue Haozhe to the shore, Li Anyue gasped, and he was just about to climb up, but he was kicked back into the water by Shenyue Haozhe's foot, daring to love this bear child is using himself as a stepping stone!
Li Anyue fell back into the water, but he didn't have the strength to move anymore, looking at the surprised face of Shenyue Haozhe on the shore, he slowly sank, the scene when he fell into the water in his previous life actually flashed in his mind, Li Anyue seemed to see the cruise ship for a moment, saw the sky on the other side of the sea, and he came here because he fell into the water, can he also go back in this way? Thinking of this, Li Anyue's face under the water couldn't help but show a smile, Dad, Mom, I'm coming back, Mother, Yue'er can't avenge you, Master, Master, Shen Yue, Ke'er, I'm going to say goodbye to you.
Li Anyue's consciousness gradually blurred, and her body seemed to melt, and there was a feeling of lightness.
