Chapter 265: Errand (1)
At noon, a clever little palace maid brought a food box over: "This is the lunch that Sister Yao Huang ordered me to deliver." Sister Yao Huang said that today is the first day that Miss Ling entered the palace, and it doesn't hurt if the food is delivered. After today, I asked Miss Ling to send someone to the kitchen to receive the food box. ”
Empress Xu has three meals a day, which are carefully cooked and delivered by the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room.
The meals of all the maids in the Jiaofang Palace were made by the kitchen of the Jiaofang Palace. There are four cooks in the kitchen, and eight of them do chores, all of whom are in charge of Yao Huang.
In addition to meals and snacks, there is also hot water that needs to be used every day, and you have to go to the kitchen to get it. Everything has a fixed time, and if you go late, you won't get anything, and you can't blame others at that time.
This little palace maid who delivered the food box was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she looked honest and honest. Qiao Yun stuffed some broken silver in the past, and soon got close to the little palace maid, and heard a lot of trivial but useful news.
After working for a long time, the three masters and servants were tired.
Ling Jingshu cheered up and smiled: "There is no one else here, just the three of us. Bai Yu, Qiaoyun, don't stand still, come and sit down, and the three of us will have lunch together. ”
Bai Yu and Qiao Yun were both taken aback, and refused to refuse.
Ling Jingshu pretended to be unhappy and raised her face: "I'm still not your master?" As soon as you enter the palace, you won't listen to me, will you? ”
"Slaves don't dare!" Bai Yu Qiaoyun answered with sincere fear, but still refused to sit down.
Ling Jingshu sighed lightly and softened her voice: "I know that both of you are loyal to me. Now that I've entered the palace, I don't even have a familiar person, only the two of you by my side. Fortunately, I have you with me, otherwise, I would be alone and even more dazed. ”
"Follow me, and you will have to work hard in the future. I, as the master, can't do anything else, and I can't bear to make your life more comfortable and comfortable. Just let the two of you sit down and eat with me, won't you? ”
As soon as he spoke, Bai Yu's tears rippled, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and sat down.
Qiao Yun hesitated slightly, and sat down with him.
There were four dishes and one soup in the food box, as well as three bowls of rice.
The dishes are still steaming, two meat and two vegetables, and the rice is also delicious.
The qiē in front of her was much better than Ling Jingshu expected. After filling my stomach, I felt a little tired again. Ling Jingshu didn't have the strength to think nonsense, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
……
Empress Xu stayed in the Zichen Hall all day, and did not return to the Jiaofang Hall until the evening.
Qiushuang respectfully stepped forward and asked, "Queen Mother, Miss Ling entered the palace in the morning, and now she has settled down." I wonder if the mother wants to see her? ”
Empress Xu's eyes flashed, and she said lightly: "If you don't say it, this palace almost forgot." ”
Qiushuang's smile was a little stiff.
Didn't the queen specially summon Ling Jingshu into the palace? Why are you so cold now? The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she felt, she knew that she really shouldn't have said this.
Ruilian lowered her eyes and hid the sarcasm in her eyes. This autumn frost, I have been working hard all day to say goodbye to her, and I will not miss any opportunity to please Queen Xu.
This time, the horse's fart was slapped on the horse's leg!
Qiushuang stubbornly pleaded guilty: "It's all slaves and maids who talk a lot, and ask the queen to forgive the sin!" ”
"That's it! It's just a trivial matter, but what a crime. Empress Xu glanced at Qiushuang with a smile: "You let people run errands, go and call Ling Jingshu!" ”
Autumn Frost resignedly responded. Once again, I secretly hate myself for being troublesome!
It can be said that Queen Xu also gave an order, and she only has to act according to the order.
Qiushuang withdrew from the hall, called a palace maid, and gave an order. The palace maid trotted all the way to call someone, Qiu Shuang waited for a moment at His Royal Highness, and soon saw Ling Jingshu's figure.
Qiushuang hurriedly glanced at Ling Jingshu, and saw that Ling Jingshu had already changed into palace clothes, and the two maids behind her did not follow, so she couldn't help but nod secretly.
Although she is a newcomer, Ling Jingshu is quite measured, and people can't find anything wrong.
"You're finally here."
Qiushuang sighed in a low voice: "Just now the queen mother returned to the palace, I had the courage to open my mouth for you, and the queen mother agreed to see you." I don't seem to be in a good mood when I look at Niangniang, probably because the emperor's dragon body has not healed. You need to be careful when you get in. ”
What you have done, you have to have a favor to be cost-effective!
"Thank you, Sister Qiushuang, for reminding me." Ling Jingshu glanced at Qiu Shuang gratefully.
Qiu Shuang's heart was a little more comfortable, and she laughed in a low voice: "It's also appropriate to be on an errand together and mention each other." Come with me! ”
……
It was not too late, and the inside and outside of the Jiaofang Hall were already brightly lit.
Under the bright candle flame, the wrinkles at the corners of Queen Xu's forehead and eyes were undoubtedly revealed.
Empress Xu sat on the chair and looked at Ling Jingshu, who was still half beautiful in palace clothes, with an unpredictable expression and no distinction between joy and anger.
"The slave has seen the queen!" Ling Jingshu stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
After a while, Empress Xu said slowly: "That's it, let's be polite!" When you see the palace in the future, you don't have to make this big gift. Stay in the palace all day, there are many opportunities to meet, every time you kneel around like this, you don't have to bother, and the palace feels tired when you look at it. ”
It's obviously a word of grace, but the tone is a little weird, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable to listen to.
Ling Jingshu had already been mentally prepared to be made difficult by all kinds of difficulties, and it was unexpected that Empress Xu let her go so lightly.
Ling Jingshu thanked her and stood up, bowing her head, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes were pleasing to her eyes, and the expressions of Ruilian Qiushuang and the others were the same.
It's a pity that no matter how Ling Jingshu behaves, Queen Xu will feel that it is an eyesore in her eyes: "Listen to Qiushuang, you have settled down." ”
Ling Jingshu responded: "The slave maid settled down in the morning, thank you for the queen's concern." ”
"Did Ruilian tell you all the rules in the Jiaofang Palace?" Empress Xu asked idly.
Ling Jingshu nodded: "Yes." On the way here this morning, Sister Ruilian carefully explained the situation in the Jiaofang Hall to the slave maid. I don't know what errand the slave is going to have? ”
Want to do things so actively?
Empress Xu's eyes flashed again and again, and she smiled casually: "You just entered the palace, you have to rest for a few days before you go on an errand." ”
Ling Jingshu said respectfully: "The slave maid is deeply loved by the maid, so she was able to enter the palace to serve, and asked the maid to arrange for the slave maid to be on an errand earlier. Otherwise, the slave and maid really have no shame to stay in the Jiaofang Palace. ”
Empress Xu groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, since you are sincere, if this palace refuses, it will refute your intentions." Hongu asks you, do you like to be good at anything on weekdays? (To be continued.) )
