26.026, to observe the after-effect
When he went back to Longxi Pavilion, the emperor explained to Wang Zhi with a cold face: "Go and inform her to come over tomorrow to be on duty and be in charge of the imperial tea in Longxi Pavilion." โ
Wang Zhi blinked and responded, "Yes, the slave will pack up a qiฤ beforehand." โ
Tea is a close service, second only to the night of the sleeper. Even if she was really a fine work sent by King Tan, it was impossible for her to dare to poison or anything, and besides, the palace was strictly forbidden, โกโก couldn't get into the door at all. It's just that the things on the dragon book case can't be seen at will, so you have to pack it up carefully.
"Not necessarily." The emperor said categorically, "There is no need to clean up, and there is no need to warn her, just let her go." I just want to see what tricks she will come up with. โ
It turned out that he wanted to capture the old man, but Wang Zhi understood.
Think about it, Wang Zhidu feels bored for him, the country has reached the autumn of crisis, the master is busy every day, but his brother did not come to help, but was ready to wait for the opportunity to dismantle the stage, what is a good errand to be on the throne? It's not something that the master himself willingly asks for. Ye is taking responsibility to clean up the mess, isn't it a blessing at all?
However, there is no reason for all palaces and courtyards to immediately take up their posts as soon as they come to the capital, at least they must be led by the master for a few months, and then go to serve the master closely. Wang Zhi proposed: "It's just that in such a hurry, I'm afraid it will be easy to make mistakes." โ
The emperor's lips were sarcastic: "What I want is for her to make a mistake." โ
Wang Zhi was stunned: "Is the master trying to send her away?" But it's hard to say whether this girl is the person of the third prince, if she is mistaken, wouldn't it be a pity? โ
"What's the pity?" The emperor glanced back, and his expression and tone were frighteningly cold.
Wang Zhi saw that he was still angry, so he didn't persuade him, and nodded in response. Turning his face, he privately warned Qian Yuanhe: "These days, you must pay attention everywhere, and you have to help that girl, but remember that the slightest persuasion of the master to leave her must not be revealed, especially, it must not be revealed, we all know that the master has taken a fancy to her!" โ
No one is more familiar with the emperor's temperament than Wang Zhi, people are good people, and their hearts are kind, but sometimes it is inevitable to stubbornly admit death, and they don't look back when they hit the south wall. If he is so determined to send people away, then the nine cows will not be able to pull them back.
In the west room of Kunyu Palace, the queen sat on the edge of the Xiangfei couch, with a trace of sadness between her eyebrows, holding a cup of tea that had already been cooled in her hand, motionless. Mama Song, who was standing on the side, was full of worries, wanting to persuade but not knowing how to speak.
The sound of footsteps came, and a palace maid opened the curtain and entered, and the queen stood up in response, took a few steps out and asked urgently: "What's wrong?" โ
The palace maid said: "Yu Niangniang, the eldest princess said that she had been persuaded by her to accept the Yue girl as the palace maid for the tea, saying that it would be retained for the time being, in order to see the after-effects, please rest assured." โ
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as the tense heartstrings were loosened, she simply had no strength to stand. Mama Song waved her hand to send the palace maid out, helped the queen to sit back on the couch, and took down the teacup that she had been holding tightly in her hand for her.
Mama Song rubbed her palms for her and sighed: "Why are you so troubled, it's just a wild girl left and right, it's common for ordinary people to kill and sell at will, let alone in this palace?" โ
"It's a human life, after all." The queen dragged the trill, endured it again and again, and still cried, "Mama, in all fairness, have I become bad?" I heard that people are going to become bad when they enter the palace, I didn't believe it before, but you see, I have this harmful heart now. Thanks to Zhuojin, I persuaded the emperor, if that girl really follows in the footsteps of a talented person because of my arrangement, I ...... What other face do I have to be the queen of this motherly world? โ
Mama Song was speechless, as a nursing mother, she couldn't understand the queen's temperament, let alone killing, even killing a finch and an insect she couldn't bear to start. This time it was just a moment of suffering, so he improvised and moved his wrist, and he just sent the girl over first, and he didn't directly hurt her, but the queen didn't sleep well all night, regretted it, and was worried all morning, if she hadn't dissuaded her, she would have rushed to Longxi Pavilion to talk to the emperor about it, and pleaded with her guilt and pleaded for mercy.
Mama Song understands the queen, but she doesn't understand, as a housemother, she heard that her sister-in-law was going to send a woman to her husband, so she used her wrist to instigate her husband to be disgusted with that woman and kill people with a knife, isn't it common? Why be so conscientious?
The queen sobbed gradually, and said in a daze: "I'm afraid that today's incident has not been revealed on the surface, but it will inevitably lead the emperor to misunderstand that girl and have a suspicion, in the final analysis, it is all my fault." I should go and make it clear to the emperor, the emperor knows that these are my ideas alone, and he will not be angry with the girl. โ
As he spoke, he was about to get up, and there was a matter of He Cairen, Mama Song had already regarded the emperor as a moody stranger, how could she let her touch this moldy head, and hurriedly held her arm to stop her: "Don't be busy, according to the foolish opinion of the slave, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to have more branches at this time, or it is better to settle it with the girl on her own." Anyway, there is no condemnation today, if he really has affection for that girl, he doesn't owe the mother this word. If the mother has the heart to compensate the girl, it is enough to take care of her a little bit. โ
The queen was a person who had no idea and was very easily persuaded, so she was silent for a moment and nodded, "That's exactly how it should be." According to what Zhuo Jin said, that girl is also a hard-working person, after a few days Zhuo Jin got married, Yue Shuhui also left the palace, she was on an errand in Longxi Pavilion alone, and she really needed someone to take care of her. โ
Longxi Pavilion Xin'an palace maid served tea, and this matter was settled. Early the next morning, the first lady of the Longxi Pavilion officially took up her post.
Wang Zhi, the head of Longxi Pavilion, was accompanied by his apprentice Qian Yuanhe, and took advantage of the absence of the pilgrimage to explain to Qiwen in detail all the precautions. The work is not heavy, but it is a trivial task such as making tea and serving tea, burning incense and changing candles.
Wang Da Guan was strict and unsmiling, like a businesslike master with an apprentice, Qiwen listened carefully all the way, and kept whispering that it was.
After everything was finished, Wang Zhi emphasized again: "Our master is not the ruthless master, you are new to the city, you are not familiar with the errand, and it is nothing if you really have a little mistake." The important thing is not to make taboos, what the master handles are all national affairs, and if you see it, you must not see it, and you must always remember the word duty, except for your own mess, it is your fault to even think about it. โ
Qiwen bowed her head: "Master's teachings, Qiwen remember." โ
The palace people always bring apprentices with masters, and as soon as she came, the head of Menglongxi Pavilion was accepted as a high-footed, which was also a lot of decency.
Wang Zhidao: "I've finished what I should say, if there is anything you don't understand, hurry up and ask." โ
"It's just that I want to ask Master more, Master don't be annoyed." Qiwen smiled, the curvature of her eyes was both beautiful and pleasing, "I don't know if the emperor likes to drink tea every day, is it a little hotter or a little cooler?" The incense in the house is changed every two hours, and the aroma is very different when it is first lit and when it is about to be extinguished, will the emperor think it is too strong or too light? Also, the sky is a little dark, should the palm lamp be held in an orderly manner? Otherwise, I'm afraid the light is dazzling, and so many candles are lit in one go, and the smell of smoke is probably a bit big......"
Wang Zhi, as the prince's companion, has served in front of the emperor for nearly 20 years, and he thinks that he has already done everything, but after listening to her question, he couldn't answer it.
He was stunned for a while, his eyes flashed with approval, and he turned his face to Qian Yuanhe and said, "Did you hear it, how else would it be better to take care of it personally or from the girl's family?" Still not good at learning? โ
The most dissatisfied thing with his subordinates was that they were not careful enough, and he was worried that this Miss Zhao would have a little temper and not be able to serve people, but just after listening to Fang Cai's words, he was half relieved.
Qian Yuanhe was expecting to be Master Qiwen yesterday, but he didn't expect to be a senior brother, and he was retreating to the second place to put on the shelf of the senior brother, and when he heard it, he was naturally unconvinced, frowned and said: "Our lord is not the kind of noble person who is the third prince, and he doesn't necessarily like others to be spoiled." โ
Wang Zhi's eyes widened, and he knocked on his head with the dust whisk handle: "You still dare to talk back!" โ
Qian Yuanhe shrunk his neck, his face was sad, and he was even more embarrassed by the loss of face in front of the little junior sister.
Qiwen couldn't help laughing, bowed her head and said: "The woman's family has a short vision, and her vision is all these trivialities, how can she have the ability of the master and brother to help the emperor do great things." I will do my best to do my errands well and share the worries of my master and brother and the emperor. โ
Both the master and apprentice listened very well, and it was hard to believe that this was what a lady of the Hou Mansion could say.
Wang Zhidao: "The trivial matter in front of the master is the big thing for the slaves and maids, you go to the pantry first and ask Zhao Fang there to lead you to recognize things." I can't say the details, you pay attention to the master's preferences, and it's better to explore it yourself. โ
Qiwen answered and left on her own.
Master Wang Zhi looked at her back, and muttered the same sentence in his heart: What a good person? Even if it's really a spy, you have to let the master leave her!
After brewing the first pot of tea under the guidance of Zhao Fang, Qiwen just went to the main hall to pick up the tea set on the dragon book case, and the emperor came back from dispersion, followed by Qiu Yu and Su Qianying.
Business in front, at this time, there is no servant kneeling and bowing to the master to give up the false courtesy, Qiwen was slightly blessed, and then lowered her eyes and retreated to the side, her posture was calm and neat like a waterline, both elegant and low-key, impeccable.
Even Su Qianying couldn't help but glance at her appreciatively, secretly envious, while thinking about how to go back and readjust according to this girl. Teach the two beautiful maids with red sleeves in their own study.
Qiu Yu turned his gaze away and continued to say silently in his heart: I don't know her......
The emperor didn't look at her, and gave Qian Yuanhe a look, and Qian Yuanhe took Qiwen out of the hall without a trace and led her to the apse.
Generally, the men of the big family heads are discussing matters in the front hall, and there are no maids around them, and the former palace maids don't have to avoid the ministers, but Qian Yuanhe thought: The master said that he didn't have to guard against this girl, but at this time he had to push her away, obviously because he had this girl in his heart, and he didn't want her to be looked at by the foreign man.
Qiwen can only keep psychological construction: I want to live, I endure ......
