Chapter Thirty-Eight: Qing Ning is still a child
Bai Zhi followed behind and watched the two enter the inner room. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info herself was guarding outside the curtain, she knew that Xiao Guifei had taken a fancy to Qingning's stability.
Xiao Guifei in the room sat on the chair, looked at Qing Ning who was standing in front of her with her head down, and said with a smile.
"When did you enter the palace?"
"The concubine Niangniang, the slave maid is the palace that Qingsheng has entered for three years." Qing Ning lowered his head and replied in a low voice.
"You don't have to be so restrained, this palace is just looking for you to chat." Xiao Guifei gently tapped the table with her fingers and smiled easily. "I smell the smell of you, but I haven't touched it. Did you make it yourself? ”
"Hui Niangniang, it's all made up by the slaves and maids themselves on weekdays." Qing Ning is not afraid, but he has to remain humble in front of the concubine. Qing Ning is only very fond of spices, and she has no interest in other people or things. Therefore, naturally in the eyes of Concubine Xiao, Qing Ning was different from the palace maid next to her, and she was a little more happy in her heart.
"Where did you learn it?" Xiao Guifei continued to ask, you must know that spices are used well in the harem, but they are extremely powerful blades. "It seems that it was also a craft from childhood."
"The mother has a clear eye, and the ancestors of the slaves and maids are all incense makers. Therefore, the slave and maid gradually learned a little, and it is not a craft. "Qing Ning hides three points, she is not public. Naturally, the real skills will not be revealed.
"Well, it doesn't have to be like this in front of the main palace. Not only can you achieve the position of a second-class palace maid, but you should also understand how important spices are in this harem. Since you have the ability, you don't have to hide it. Xiao Guifei did not hide it, and revealed her thoughts and thoughts.
Qing Ning was a little surprised, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Guifei's beautiful and extraordinary smile, her back was cold, and she didn't know what to say. When I was a child, I did see my father give some spices to the dusty woman. Occasionally, I will learn to make some of them. However, she never thought of using it to harm people, Xiao Guifei said this, wouldn't she force herself to do such things for her.
"What, scared?" Xiao Guifei laughed and said, "Qingning, what do you think?" This palace just wants you to make some special spices, why are you so scared that your forehead is full of sweat. Xiao Guifei took out the handkerchief around her waist and reached out to hand it to Qingning.
"The slave is wrong." Qing Ning hurriedly knelt down, and a little of her own careful thinking was easily noticed by Xiao Guifei, and she was even more frightened. For the first time, I felt the terrible meaning of this noble concubine. Qingning rarely serves Concubine Xiao on weekdays, and she can't figure out her master's thoughts.
"Hurry up, what is this doing."
Xiao Guifei didn't have any other emotions, but said softly to Qing Ning. still handed the handkerchief towards Qingning, I thought that this second-class palace maid didn't need to be trained, but now that I look at it, I still owe some heat.
Qing Ning stood up and raised his eyes to look at Concubine Xiao. Looking at the splendid handkerchief, I don't know whether to take it or not.
"Take it. You have been here since you entered the palace, and you have been doing chores outside for three years now, but you have failed such a smart person as you by doing chores outside. From now on, let's wait by Hongu's side. Follow your sister Bai Zhi and study hard, and when you can be on your own. The palace will promote you to a first-class palace maid. ”
"Thank you, mother." Qing Ning obediently took the veil. The handkerchief was extremely delicate and silky, but in Qing Ning's hands, it felt like a snake in spring, and there was a burst of coolness.
"I wonder if you can bring your own private incense to the main palace to see?" Xiao Guifei continued, looking at Qing Ning's trembling legs.
Qing Ning actually resisted, for Qing Ning, incense making is the supreme thing, and in her selfish heart she didn't want to take out her spices for others to see. However, when people are under the eaves, how dare they say nothing about what the master wants.
"Yes." Qing Ning bent his knees, which can be regarded as the answer to this errand.
But Bai Zhi, who was guarding outside, saw that there was no movement in the house, and seeing that it was dark, he didn't dare to rush in to disturb the master. waited anxiously, and the palace maid in front of him came with news, saying that the emperor had turned over Lin Zhaorong's brand again, such a holy favor. I don't know how angry the mother will be when she hears it.
"Bai Zhi, what are you doing outside?" Just thinking about it, Bai Zhi saw Bai Yao walk in from outside. Bai Yao was holding a box in his hand, which looked like it should be the clothes box of Si Yifu.
"Sister, you're finally back. Niangniang summoned Qingning to talk inside. Bai Zhi said to Bai Yao with a smile, and stretched out her hand to naturally take the box into her hand.
"It's not early, and you don't remind the mother. Even if you don't need to eat, it's time to take medicine. Bai Yao glanced at Bai Zhi with some complaints, Bai Zhi was still too afraid of Xiao Guifei after all. Otherwise, it wouldn't be even a little bit of vision.
"Yes, my sister is right. Or sister, you go, you are bold. Bai Zhi smiled and pushed Bai Yao and said. That's right, sister. The emperor went to Tangchun Palace today, and if the lady asks later, you have to answer carefully. ”
"Why did I go to Tangchun Palace again, just now I saw the eunuch who passed the decree, and tonight I called Lin Zhaorong to sleep, it seems that this Lin Zhaorong is deeply loved by the emperor." Bai Yao frowned and said in a low voice. As the maid that Xiao Guifei has brought with her since she was a child, she cares more about Xiao Guifei's status in the palace than anyone in this broken Qiong Pavilion. Now that Concubine Xiao Guifei is pregnant, the sky is cold again. This broken Qiong Pavilion was originally a place to escape the heat, but in winter, I don't know how to get cold. But even so, the emperor has been delaying the relocation of the palace because of the filial piety. Could it be that the emperor really wanted that Lin Zhaorong to be the lord of the Spring Palace all the time.
Thinking of this, Bai Yao was almost a little angry. The Yuan family did their best for the royal family, and Xiao Guifei was even more so. But the emperor is so partial to a Lin Zhaorong, I really don't know what he means.
"Sister, what's wrong with you." Bai Zhi looked at Bai Yao's face and hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, give me something." Bai Yao came back to his senses, looked at Bai Zhi's puzzled eyes, and smiled reassuringly. Reach out and take the suitcase. Bai Zhi obediently opened the curtain and watched Bai Yao walk into the inner room.
"Mother, you don't look at what time it is. Even if she likes Sister Qingning, it's not too late to talk about it in the future. Bai Yao walked into the room with a smile and said to Xiao Guifei. Mother, I hurriedly got this dress back. You go to eat first, and after bathing, how about the slave and maid change your clothes for you? ”
"You see, you forgot the hour while chatting." Xiao Guifei glanced at the white medicine in a good mood, "The most transparent thing in this broken Qiong Pavilion is also the white medicine." ”
"Xie Niangniang's compliment." Bai Yao hunched his waist, "As long as the mother takes good care of her body, the slave will be grateful to Dade." ”
"Little hoof, relying on the fact that this palace likes you, I have no mouth to cover. Qingning, don't learn from your sister Baiyao. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Don't follow me, I'm the most unruly. Bai Yao chimed in, making Concubine Xiao happy is the most important thing. Xiao Guifei listened to this joke, and her mood was even happier. For a while, there was laughter in the room.
Bai Zhi, who was guarding outside, looked gloomy, she was not as good as Sister Bai Yao after all, and she would never be able to serve her master closely.
