Chapter 079: Mid-Autumn Festival

When Cui Zhangshi heard Qiaohui mention Shang Meiren, he didn't speak anymore, but just poured a cup of tea and motioned for Qiaohui to drink tea.

Qiaohui knew that Cui was changing the topic, but she didn't say anything, but just took the tea and drank it one by one.

Chang Zhaoyi has been deeply dissatisfied with Shang Meiren since she was favored, and Chang Zhaoyi has been in the palace for two or three years, but she has no heirs, and the good news that Shang Meiren came soon after she accepted the favor made her grit her teeth with hatred. Although Chang Zhaoyi didn't say these dissatisfactions, everyone knew the truth that one mountain could not tolerate two tigers.

Cui Zhangshi has indeed entrusted Ru Xuan to bring a little heart to Shang Meiren in recent days, obviously showing favor to Chunhui Palace, Chang Zhaoyi learned of this and sent Qiaohui to come over to beat, which is normal.

Therefore, Cui Zhangshi kept his mouth shut about Chunhui Hall and Shang Meiren, and after Qiaohui drank tea, he changed the topic and talked about the things on the side.

Qiaohui was knowledgeable, and he didn't insist on the topic of Shang Meiren anymore, so he chatted with Cui Zhangshi's words.

But the two had different thoughts, and they didn't know what to say, but they just chatted about some trivial matters in the palace, and Qiaohui casually found an excuse to leave.

"Miss Qiaohui walks slowly, and she has to come and sit often." Before leaving, Cui Zhangshi still had a smile on his face and sent Qiaohui out of the door.

"It's nature." Qiao Hui smiled and walked out the door.

Cui Zhangshi did not send him out of the door, but sent Qingguo beside him to send Qiaohui to the gate of the Huanyi Bureau.

No matter how powerful Chang Zhaoyi is, Qiaohui is just a girl who goes out from under her nose, and Cui Zhangshi is naturally unwilling to bow to a little girl.

Qiaohui also understood, and went out with Qingguo talking and laughing.

It's just that when Qiaohui's figure disappeared from Cui Zhangshi's sight, the smile on Cui Zhangshi's face just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a cold face.

It's just a rough palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, who got the opportunity to climb the high branches, but she also showed off her power in front of me!

The more Cui Zhangshi thought about Qiaohui's high-minded and invincible appearance just now, the more angry he became, and he hurriedly threw all the green jade bean cakes brought by Qiaohui on the ground and stepped on them a few times.

Fang Cai, which was still a mouth-watering delicacy, was already lying on the ground in pieces, stained with a layer of dust, and if you didn't look closely, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to see the original appearance.

Qingguo had just sent Qiaohui back, and when she saw Cui Zhangshi's angry face and the mess on the ground, she understood the reason, and she didn't dare to speak, but just poured a cup of tea and handed it to Cui Zhangshi: "Auntie is angry." ”

Qingguo has always been by Cui Zhangshi's side, loyal, although he doesn't like to talk, but his heart is like a mirror, and he can always guess Cui Zhangshi's thoughts, so Cui Zhangshi also trusts Qingguo. Now seeing Qingguo come to persuade her, Cui Zhangshi's face is a little better, and he took the tea and took a sip gently.

Seeing that Cui was in charge of the matter, Qingguo was a little relieved, and squatted down to clean up the mess on the ground. It's just that the green jade bean cake is stuck to the ground and can't be picked up, a piece of green.

Seeing this, Qingguo hurriedly went to find the broom and planned to clean it up.

Cui Zhangshi frowned: "What do you do, wait until you order the people below to clean up." ”

Qingguo didn't stop the movements in her hand, and replied lightly: "Auntie doesn't know, this sweet and greasy thing is the easiest to provoke ants, and the slave is afraid of disturbing my aunt." ”

Qingguo is careful in his work, thinking about everything for the sake of Cui Zhangshi, even small details will not be left behind, Cui Zhangshi hooked his lips and smiled with satisfaction, and said: "By the way, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, how are you doing?" ”

"Auntie, rest assured, the slave maid has already explained to the cook, add two more dishes on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and make some five-kernel mooncakes to distribute to the palace maids." Qingguo had cleaned up the ground in a blink of an eye and returned the broom to its place.

"Yes, that's good." Cui Zhangshi said: "There are not enough things, and they are not good enough, but it is also the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if it is to comfort the homesickness of the palace maids." ”

"My aunt is thoughtful, and they will be grateful to her." Qingguo replied.

"Gratitude?" Cui Zhangshi raised his eyebrows slightly.

She didn't dare to expect that the people below would be grateful to her, but she begged those palace maids to do their jobs honestly and honestly, and it would be good if they didn't let her work hard.

"By the way, auntie, will you still give the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to Chunhui Palace?" Qingguo suddenly remembered the gifts that had been prepared for the concubines of the various palaces and courtyards in the treasury, and opened her mouth to ask.

Cui Zhangshi did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment.

If it is usual, it is naturally to be sent, there are all palaces and courtyards, if there is no Chunhui Palace, the face will not be able to pass, but just now Qiaohui has already come, and it has also brought the meaning of Chang Zhaoyi, if it is blatantly going again, I am afraid that it will annoy Chang Zhaoyi.

Gifts are small, but they are also a tricky thing that needs to be thought through.

"Auntie, when Qiaohui came just now, I happened to meet Ru Xuan......" Qingguo saw that Cui was at a loss for a clue about this matter, and hurriedly reminded Ru Xuan of this person's existence.

Hearing Qingguo mention Ru Xuan, Cui Zhangshi had an idea: "You have to be free, give the things to Ru Xuan, and let Ru Xuan be free to take them to Chunhui Palace." After all, it's not a generous gift, and you don't have to send it in person. ”

"Yes, Auntie." Qingguo understood, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

In this way, the incompatible relationship between Chang Zhaoyi and Shang Meiren can be balanced, and even the left and right can still live like a fish in water in the harem.

Cui Zhangshi was complacent about his cleverness, and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't forget to tell Qingguo: "Yesterday, I got two new boxes of sunflower pollen, and wiping my face is the most whitening, you take one box, and the other box will be given to Ru Xuan." ”

"Aunt Xie." Qingguo has been working with Cui for a long time, and he has received a lot of rewards from Cui Zhangshi on weekdays, and he is used to it, but he is not too excited, but he just thanked him lightly, served Cui Zhangshi for a while, and then went to prepare the gifts to be distributed to the various palaces and courtyards.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and on the same day, the kitchen was instructed by Cui Zhangshi to add dishes to all the palace maids of the Huanyi Bureau, but there were not many dishes, a braised pork, and a vegetarian fried green vegetables.

However, the palace maids who have not had much oil and water for many years are very easy to satisfy, plus each person also got two moon cakes and a number of dried fruits, all of which were happy, and after dinner, they got together in pairs of threes and threes, chatting while admiring the moon.

But Ru Xuan didn't go to make up the pile, and she didn't even have time to eat dinner, and after sending the things that Cui Zhangshi explained to Chunhui Palace, she carefully packed the food distributed in the kitchen. When it was just dark, we arrived at Huiming Lake.

Today, she has made an appointment with Shiqi to enjoy the moon and the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of family reunion, and she can't go home to see her relatives, and she can only snuggle up to each other to warm up and comfort the pain of homesickness.

The sun has set, and the lights of each palace have been lit up one after another, and the stars are dotted, reflected in the dark evening, but there is a different scenery.

Ru Xuan carried a small paper lantern, sat on the stone bench by the lake, carefully arranged the two dishes and moon cakes she brought, and prepared to have dinner with Shiqi.

Before the plate was neatly arranged, Shi Qi quietly walked over from another path, and when he saw Ru Xuan lowering his head and fiddling with those few light side dishes, he actually stayed there for a while.

Lowered his eyebrows, reflecting the soft light of the lanterns on the side, the side face was full of gentleness, the quiet face with a faint smile, a pair of slender jade hands, was carefully placing the bamboo chopsticks on the edge of the plate.

This is an extremely heartwarming scene, which reminds Shiqi of the beautiful scene when ordinary people cook their meals, set up dishes and welcome their husbands home at night.

And this has always been the life that the world has longed for and looked forward to for a long time.

A warm current slowly flowed through his heart, Shi Qi's eyes were slightly wet, and he whispered in his throat: "Ru Xuan." ”

Hearing Shiqi's voice, Ru Xuan raised her head, saw Shiqi's warm and jade-like face, and smiled and said, "Coming?" ”

"Yes." Shiqi nodded in agreement, his eyes becoming more and more moist.

A sentence is coming, a word of grace.

It's really like an ordinary couple, and there is infinite affection between just a few words.

"Sit down and eat, you're hungry at this late hour." Ru Xuan sat down with a smile and handed Shi Qi a pair of bamboo chopsticks.

"Yes, I'm hungry indeed." Shi Qi touched his somewhat deflated stomach, took the chopsticks, and sat down opposite Ru Xuan.

"Eat more if you're hungry, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we have added vegetables to the Huanyi Bureau, can you taste it, is it delicious?" Ru Xuan said, sandwiching a basket of braised pork and placing it in the bowl in front of Shiqi.

It is a great joy to eat with the person you like, not to mention the treatment of being able to get the beautiful woman to serve him personally, Shi Qi was a little flattered for a while, but he put the piece of braised pork that didn't taste very good in his mouth, and swallowed it with a full sense of happiness.

"Isn't it delicious?" Ru Xuan looked at Shiqi with a "gobble" appearance and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes." Shiqi's mouth was full of pieces of meat, and he couldn't speak clearly, so he just nodded indiscriminately.

To be honest, the meat has been stewed for too long, the meat has become hard, the taste is extremely poor, and the taste is very tasteless, but this is the meat that Ru Xuan personally sandwiched for him, no matter what, it must be said to be delicious.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be a next time.

The dish was not good, and Shiqi also felt that it tasted like chewing wax, so after eating for a while, he stopped his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

"Full?" Ru Xuan saw that Shiqi didn't eat much, so she was a little worried and asked.

"Yes." Shi Qi nodded and replied: "When I was in Chaoyang Hall just now, I ate some of the emperor's leftover snacks, and I wasn't hungry." ”

Although, at the time of saying this, Shiqi's stomach was protesting strictly.

"Oh." Ru Xuan took Shiqi's lie seriously, didn't ask, and ate the rest of the dishes on the plate.

It's not that Ru Xuan eats a lot of food, it's just that she was tired from running around all afternoon, and she ate late dinner, and she was indeed hungry. R1152
