Chapter 159: Sincerity?!!
When Wei Xiaoxiao arrived at the Jiaotai Palace, there were already palace people guarding the side hall to greet her
"The slave maid has seen Qi Chongyi Niangniang, please Niangniang
It's not that it was left alone in the side hall, but the authentic state banquet was attended by the emperor's women and the minister's family!
Ministers above the fifth rank and their wives and children and harem concubines of the fifth rank and above! It's just that only the three grades that can be entered through the main hall gate are above! In this era, every level is a watershed, and it reminds others all the time that class status determines the threshold, and it also inspires others to climb up at all times!
Wei Xiaoxiao took Yun Xia and followed the palace people into the side hall, "May I ask if Niangniang wants to go directly to the main hall or take a break in the side hall?" ”
"Let's go to the side hall"
After thinking about it, Wei Xiaoxiao decided to go to the side hall first, after all, the state banquet really started at eight o'clock. And before this, the dignitaries and concubines who came one after another, still low-grade first-come, first-served, first-served, the emperor and queen accompanied the queen mother to the finale, this moment is almost the people below the third grade, since you can't meet it on the road, Wei Xiaoxiao doesn't want to go to the main hall to sit and wait!
After all, you can only sit at the banquet, and the sitting posture must be standard, so that after three hours, Wei Xiaoxiao feels that it is enough for her!
As I entered the rest room separated by a screen, there were gong buckets, small tables and soft couches inside.
"Mother, please rest here first. Slave and maid retire"
"Let's get out"
Wei Xiaoxiao did it on the soft couch and lay down on it for a short rest under Yun Xia's service, but fortunately she didn't wear much jewelry. The hair accessories are also neatly combed, otherwise you really can't rest.
"Is the master tired?" Yun Xia helped her press her legs
"It's fine. It's not that delicate, it's just that I've always been impatient with these, and I already feel tired before I even start" Wei Xiaoxiao held her forehead
"Slave and maid, see Niangniang" sounded outside, please be safe
Yun Xia saw that Wei Xiaoxiao got up to open the door, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a little palace maid with a tea tray and snacks in her hand.
"Come in" Yun Xia turned sideways to let her in, and the little palace maid was also neat, and she didn't even raise her head to put all the things in her hands on the small table
Leaning over and saluting "slave and maid retirement"
"Wait"
Yun Xia stopped people, opened the teapot and looked inside, and sure enough, there was tea with tea leaves inside. I was not angry, and looked back at the little palace maid who was stopped and was a little puzzled
"My master has been using medicinal food recently, and it is not suitable to drink tea. I'm tired of my sister to change a pot of white water for us" The talker took the little palace maid's hand affectionately and stuffed a hairpin into her hand
The little palace maid also said, "Please wait a minute," and bowed and withdrew
As soon as she went out, Yunxia's face was cold, she reached out and lifted the plate to take a look, and sneered, "It's just cold, it's still hawthorn cake."
"Okay, you don't have to be so atmospheric, the things at the palace banquet have always been good-looking and not delicious, as for the hawthorn cake, isn't it on the bright side" Wei Xiaoxiao smiled and comforted Yun Xia
Yun Xia didn't speak anymore, and it didn't work on the surface, it was mashed and mixed with flour. So if you're not careful, it's hard to say. However, this hawthorn cake is also cold, so is this intentional or unintentional?
But fortunately, the tea was hot, Yun Xia took the cup, poured the tea, washed it, poured the water away, and then poured the tea and drank it himself, feeling fine. Wei Xiaoxiao watched her movements and didn't stop it. Yun Xiaxue's medical theory is not shallow, and bringing her to the banquet is originally a precautionary measure, who knows what other tricks will be used on her.
After all, the occasion of the palace banquet is simply the best choice for using food with medicine and poison!
Looking at Yun Xia's obviously sunny face, she knew that this tea was no problem, and washed the cup she had tried carefully. Only then did I hear another sound of greeting from outside the door.
Yun Xia got up and opened the door, sure enough, it was the little palace maid just now, but she had nothing but a teapot in her hand. There is also a covered bowl. Yun Xia was a little surprised, but still let her in
Wei Xiaoxiao that Yun Xia saw waited until the little palace maid came in and saw it, but Wei Xiaoxiao didn't speak, just held her forehead and looked at the little palace maid. Compared with the one who led the way, this one is obviously younger, only about fifteen years old, with a round apple face, very delicate and attractive.
"Slave maid to Qi Chongyi, please be safe," Wei Xiaoxiao just looked at it with a smile and didn't speak
Sure enough, the little girl with her head down, quickly looked up, Wei Xiaoxiao lowered her head here, and when she spoke again, she stammered a little, and her nervousness was undoubtedly exposed.
"Back to ...... Back to Niangniang, this is the slave maid and the kitchen manager Li said that Niangniang is resting in the side hall, Li ...... Manager Li asked the slave to send this red date and white fungus soup."
"Oh, you're smart," Wei Xiaoxiao's voice was a little lazy, but it was obvious that the little girl was even more nervous when she heard this voice that could not distinguish between joy and anger, and Wei Xiaoxiao obviously saw her body tremble
"Slave maid, slave maid doesn't dare, but the sister next to Niangniang gives a high reward to the slave maid, and Niangniang is pregnant, so she is afraid that it will not be good to eat at the palace banquet."
"Just because the reward is high?" She didn't put that thing in her eyes, Yun Xia naturally didn't put it in her eyes either, and the person in front of her would not dare to do this because of this reward, not to mention that the head of the kitchen was not something that ordinary palace people could say
"Yes and no" Speaking of this, the tension just now seemed to be put away, and he stopped stammering
"The slave maid is the third-class palace person of Yuxiu Palace, and this state banquet was transferred, and the slave maid doesn't want to fall in Yuxiu Palace for the rest of her life, so she wants to surrender to her mother this time."
"Surrender to Hongu?" Wei Xiaoxiao laughed softly, instantly making cold sweat overflow on the forehead of the little palace maid who had been full of courage. At this moment, Jinxiu realized that this fairy concubine seemed to be Qi Chongyi, and her mother was not good-looking. Yes, the palace people can fight to the death for a good errand, and these masters and mothers are fighting for honor and wealth.
"A red date white fungus soup?" Although the tone of the voice did not change, Jinxiu seemed to feel how cheap her sincerity was, just a red date and white fungus soup, others did not look down on her, and Jinxiu herself felt ashamed.
pinched her fingers fiercely, Jinxiu struggled a little, this is a gamble, she may be able to change places if she wins, and if she loses, she will lose herself!
Wei Xiaoxiao watched the little palace maid hang her head and pinch her fingers, but the beads of sweat on her forehead became more and more silent and she just watched quietly.
Finally, the little palace maid seemed to have finished struggling, thought about it, released and pinched her fingers again, but raised her head to look at Wei Xiaoxiao
"No...... Not only that, slave maid, slave maid also knows ......" (To be continued.) )
