Chapter 33 Jiaofang Palace
Tang Siqi smiled: "This will really be gone, the widow still has to review the chapter, and I will come to see you when I have time."
Xiao Wanyao got up and blessed herself: "Congratulations to the saint."
Tang Siqi pulled the corners of his mouth and raised a faint smile: "You really don't want to keep me......" He didn't say anything, and left after speaking.
After Tang Siqi left, the room returned to quiet, Xiao Wanyao looked at the gradually cool Pu'er tea in the white porcelain tea cup, and was not in the mood to take a sip at all, but just told the licorice to pour it after a while.
There was nothing to do at this time, Licorice took a freshly heated hand stove and put it in Xiao Wanyao's hand, and sat in front of Xiao Wanyao with some sighs, Xiao Wanyao looked at her with a worried look and felt a little funny, looked at her left and right a few more times, and then teased: "Why is our licorice absent-minded?" Who are you thinking about? β
Licorice's cheeks were slightly red, and he tried his best to deny it with his big innocent eyes, and squirmed: "No one thought about it, but just now I felt that there was a thought in my mind, and I couldn't help the second miss." β
Xiao Wanyao looked at her with a stern expression, and couldn't help but smile: "You might as well say it, it's only the two of us here, what can't you say?" β
Licorice hummed and chirped for a long time, Xiao Wanyao didn't understand a word, but she still felt funny, usually licorice would not be too restrained in front of Xiao Wanyao in private, what's wrong today?
"Speak quickly!" Xiao Wanyao scolded her, she was startled, and only after coming back to her senses did she swallow and spit out:
"The slave steals that the saint is still very attentive to the second lady, and the second miss doesn't seem to hate the saint...... Of course, the slave maid is really sorry for Xue Gongzi when she thinks like this......"
After she finished speaking, she saw that Xiao Wanyao was in a daze, so she said with a look of grievance: "The slave is wrong, the slave is ...... Second Miss, don't be angry......"
Xiao Wanyao is not angry, the current Tang Siqi is indeed intimate to her, and she also believes that as long as she has always been right about Tang Siqi's thoughts, she can be favored for a long time, even if she is old and decrepit in the future, then she should at least have a child under her knees, so that she can enjoy the second half of her life and be glorious with her family for the rest of her life.
But that's not what she wants, it's too tiring to please someone, and the battle in the harem is really cruel, you don't know who is a friend and who is an enemy, so you don't know who you should guard against......
Isn't love simple and happy when two people are together?
But how does this qiΔ say to licorice?
"Licorice." When she spoke again, Xiao Wanyao's voice was slightly hoarse, and Licorice was careful, and she wanted to pour water for her to moisten her throat, but Xiao Wanyao pulled her sleeve.
"It takes time to see people's hearts." Xiao Wanyao said to licorice, this is the only thing she can say clearly.
The next day, the queen sent someone to find Xiao Wanyao, saying that she was getting better, and she was in good spirits at this time, and she wanted to meet the friends that Tang Siqi invited into the palace.
Xue Qingyi's palace maid was waiting outside, and Licorice was helping Xiao Wanyao dress up in the house.
Xiao Wanyao knew that it would be a matter of time before she saw Xue Qingyi in Jiaofang Palace, but she always had a fluke mentality, feeling that as long as Xue Qingyi was still sick, she would not look for her for a while, and it would be a day to delay, and Xiao Wanyao didn't expect that she would see her when she was sick.
That woman is thoughtful and poisonous, so she can't help but guard against it.
"Licorice, make up a little plain, that person is not good and can't see others good." Xiao Wanyao looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said in a low voice.
"How does the second miss know? Do you know the Queen? "Licorice is also not loud.
Xiao Wanyao shook her head: "Of course I don't know, but have you forgotten?" She was sick and couldn't hear the sound, so the people in the entire Jiaofang Hall were not allowed to use the carriage, and no matter how cold the day was, she could only take a chariot, how else could you describe her as such a person? β
Licorice felt that it was reasonable after listening to it, so she made Xiao Wanyao's makeup much lighter, Xiao Wanyao was still quite satisfied after looking at it, but thinking about Xue Qingyi, that person is like this, no matter how good the things that are not satisfied, she will find faults.
There is still a certain distance from the courtyard to the main hall of Jiaofang Palace, plus the snow stopped yesterday, and the snow on the ground has melted slightly today, so there is still mud on the road that has not been cleaned up, and it is not easy to walk. And Xue Qingyi summoned her, but did not prepare a walk for her, the meaning was obvious, that is, let her walk on foot, let the mud wet her shoes, socks and skirt corners, and embarrass her.
But thinking about it, this is in line with Xue Qingyi's style, the bad of others is always inconspicuous, the purpose is to let you know that you will suffer a loss, but you can only suffer a loss, but you can't blame her for not.
Xiao Wanyao raised the corners of her mouth, thinking that she was smart all her life, but didn't she lose to Xue Qingyi in the end? In the final analysis, it's not because Tang Siqi is her weakness, and she likes it so much.
At this moment, she just failed to fulfill Xue Qingyi's wish!
Looking at the melting snow that was often visible on the road outside, Xiao Wanyao said to the licorice unhurriedly: "You go to Xiao Zhuangzi and ask him to come out with the jute cloth rewarded by the saint." β
Licorice glanced outside, and then roughly understood what Xiao Wanyao was going to do, glanced at the queen's palace maid, and then trotted to find Xiao Zhuangzi, and soon came back, Xiao Zhuangzi followed behind, holding a batch of jute cloth in his arms.
It may be that the licorice on the road has already told Xiao Zhuangzi about the cause, so Xiao Zhuangzi just came to ask for peace, and didn't ask much else.
"Sister lead the way, the second lady will go and say hello to the queen now." After Licorice finished speaking, the palace maid answered, and the reason why she was waiting at the door was because her shoes and socks were stained with a lot of mud.
Xiao Wanyao whispered a few words to licorice, and licorice nodded and ran back to the house. The palace maid led the way in front, and Xiao Wanyao followed behind Xiao Zhuangzi.
Xiao Zhuangzi is clever, his hands and feet are also nimble, wherever he encounters a place where the snow melts, he will tear open the jute cloth and spread it on it, Xiao Wanyao can step on it, and there is almost no delay on the way, and it will not take long to reach the door of the main hall.
"Xin'er, your shoes and socks are so dirty! Don't go to the main hall, the queen loves to be clean, how can you allow dirty things to enter the hall!? It was the old palace maid next to Xue Qingyi who spoke, and the palace people called her "Aunt Chunhua".
Xin'er's face turned pale, and she quickly lowered her head, and Xiao Wanyao could see it clearly on the side, fortunately, she was prepared in advance and came cleanly, otherwise Aunt Chunhua's words were just for her, so that she was fortunate to come here, but she was blocked at the door and was in a dilemma.
After Aunt Chunhua finished scolding Xin'er, she turned her head to look at Xiao Wanyao, and looked up and down only to find that Xiao Wanyao was neatly dressed, and her shoes and socks were clean, so she couldn't help but show an embarrassed smile: "Miss Xiao Er is here, and the slave maid will go to tell Queen SΓΉ." β
Xiao Wanyao waited at the door with a slight bow, and her heart changed from wanting to avoid at the beginning to wanting to meet, Xiao Wanyao wanted to know that she had been reborn, what was Xue Qingyi like!?
After Aunt Chunhua came back, Xiao Wanyao officially entered the main hall, Xue Qingyi was wearing a red jacket and leaning on the golden throne, and she didn't have the heart to look at Xiao Wanyao at all.
Xiao Wanyao quietly looked at Xue Qingyi with her afterglow.
Xiao Wanyao walked to the center of the main hall before kneeling down and asking Xue Qingyi for peace, but Xue Qingyi waved her hand lazily and asked her to sit on the side.
After a long time, Xue Qingyi said weakly: "The Holy Lord arranged for you to live here with me, and I should have met you early, but I am sick, and I have not done a thorough job in the number of hospitality and have not taken care of your place, please understand." β
Xue Qingyi was embarrassed by Xiao Wanyao, but she was still very polite on her face.
Xiao Wanyao said with a smile: "The courtyard where the folk girl lives is clean and comfortable, with all the food and clothing, the queen's mother is serious, where is there a place where the hospitality is not good." β
Xue Qingyi didn't bother to laugh at the moment, but she was still very polite in her words: "You just feel comfortable, if you need anything, tell SΓΉ Chunhua as much as possible, she is an old man in the palace and knows a lot of things." β
Xiao Wanyao got up and blessed her body, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Queen Xie." β
Xue Qingyi covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and coughed twice, her face could not hide the tiredness: "Okay, my body has been really bad lately, and I don't have much energy to stay here anymore...... Ahem......"
Xue Qingyi is not pretending, Xiao Wanyao vaguely remembered that Xue Qingyi had a serious illness, and it was delayed until the beginning of spring next year, and now it is winter, that is, in a month, Xue Qingyi will be cured.
Xiao Wanyao had to make a decision before she issued an eviction order, because she had to quickly weigh what to do to maximize her interests.
Xue Qingyi waved at her and said, "I'm tired, you can go back......"
"Queen Mother......" Xue Qingyi was about to leave with the support of everyone, but was stopped by Xiao Wanyao, Xue Qingyi glanced back at her, with a tired expression: "What?" Anything else? β
"The imperial doctor has delayed your illness, and no matter how much you drink their medicine, you won't be able to get better." Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath and said.
"Oh?" Xue Qingyi was quite surprised, "Do you know what you're talking about?" β
Xiao Wanyao nodded: "The folk girl knows, because the folk girl is sure that you will be cured of your illness within seven days." β
Xue Qingyi chuckled with disdain in her eyes: "Xiao Wanyao, you are a little rampant when you say this!" Do you know how long Hongu has been sick? β
Xiao Wanyao said with a hint of a smile and full of confidence: "It seems that it has been almost more than a month, Queen Mother, if your condition drags on like this again, at most a month, something will definitely happen, and whether you can survive it by that time is really unknown." β
"Bold! How dare you curse the queen! With this alone, I can behead you! "It's Aunt Chunhua who speaks, Xue Qingyi is what she watched grow up, she naturally doesn't allow others to have any disadvantage to her! I1483
