After sending Cheng Wanli away, Gu Yunxi came to the kitchen and began to prepare dinner for the overseer.

The figure outside flashed, and then the fragrant breeze Luo skirt walked in.

Gu Yunxi was chopping vegetables, and a slender person stood next to the wide wooden case, resembling a weak willow in the wind. In the white and slender hand, a large kitchen knife flew up and down, and there was no sense of clumsiness and heaviness of the iron.

In the blink of an eye, a handful of oil beans were cut into slender shreds, and a row of emerald green lay on the board.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Yanwan standing next to her, tilting her head and watching her chop vegetables with interest.

Gu Yunxi was very surprised and immediately stopped moving.

"Miss Yanwan, why are you here?"

"The imperial physician in the palace came to change the dressing for the overseer's wound, and it was inconvenient for the slave and maid to be present. I heard that the son was in the room, so he came to help the son. ”

Yan Wan clasped her hands and smiled softly at Gu Yunxi, speaking in a beautiful voice.

"Oh, it's going to be a lot of smoke here, so I'd better go somewhere else. When dinner is ready, I'll call someone to come and get it. ”

After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and continued to chop vegetables.

Maybe the other party's voice was too pleasant, every time he heard that wonderful voice, Gu Yunxi always felt uncomfortable in his heart, both envious and lost.

She stopped making a sound, blanched the carob shreds in hot water, and stir-fried them in the oil pan, skillfully moving.

Yan Wan raised her nose and sniffed into the air, watching the green smoke in the wok, rolling into the air, instead of hiding, she approached Gu Yunxi a few steps, and praised in a sweet voice:

"Yun Gongzi is worthy of being a fine person, and the work on the stove requires meticulousness and patience. Compared with Gongzi, Yanwan is ashamed. ”

I didn't want to deal with her, but when I thought that she was from the palace, she couldn't be cold. So, Gu Yunxi was busy and chatted casually with Yanwan:

"Miss Yanwan, what were you responsible for in Kunning Palace before?"

Gu Yunxi wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the girls around him.

"The daily work of the slave and maid is not tiring, just need to take care of the flowers, birds, fish and insects in the queen's palace. In winter, it is even more leisurely, and most of the time only serves some plum branches and orchids.

For those green plants that have passed the flowering period, you don't have to worry too much. Therefore, in the winter, I will also be responsible for adding charcoal to the Lord's womb and making fire. ”

"Oh......"

Gu Yunxi casually agreed, and casually put the fried vegetables on the plate.

Yan Wan took advantage of Gu Yunxi's busy hand, and swept by with a silent glance, and then curled up her delicate beauty~ lips, and the seductive smile was mixed with an inexplicable insidiousness. The curvaceous body swayed slightly, looking forward to life.

Yan Wan held the piping of the wide sleeves in her hand, slowly stirring, as if pulling a homely style, and said leisurely:

"In the winter of the first year, there was a time when the slave and maid were making a charcoal stove in the courtyard, and they were encountering the cold master coming out of the master's womb, but they were splashed on the body by the slave and maid with charcoal fire from the whole furnace. At that time, I was so scared that the slave soul was gone! Now that I think about it, the slave and the slave are indeed destined for the cold master! ”

It's a lifetime thing

Gu Yunxi was surprised, he had never heard the Overseer mention it. However, when Yanwan said that she was destined for him, that sentence made Gu Yunxi feel extremely harsh.

"Then, you must have been punished, right?"

Gu Yunxi blinked uneasily and instinctively asked. The trembling voice made Yan Wan beside him easily perceive the anxiety that he couldn't hide in his heart.

So, she smiled silently and said with ulterior motives:

"Why is there no penalty? The slave and maid were almost fined and deducted the monthly money for the whole year by the aunt in charge, but thanks to the cold master interceding for the slave and maid, the penalty and deduction were all waived! ”

Oh, I know how to pity the master of the jade......

Suddenly, Gu Yunxi's heart was unspeakably unhappy!

In her ears, Yan Wan's self-conscious chatter was uninterrupted:

"Slave and slave

I was grateful, and when I saw that the handkerchief was stained with charcoal ash when the overseer wiped his clothes, I specially embroidered a new one, and compensated him when he re-entered the palace......"

Embroidered handkerchiefs? What kind of handkerchief? I've never heard the Overseer talk about it

Gu Yunxi knew that there were many rules in the palace, and the chamberlains and palace maids must not be privately taught and accepted, otherwise there would be heavy penalties waiting for them.

But the identity of the overseer is different from that of ordinary eunuchs, even if there are gifts from admirers, it should be fine.

The heart instantly lost weightless, without direction, and then it was like being pressed by a heavy object, and the painful feeling was almost suffocating. The taste of it is impossible to describe it in words alone.

"Oops! Yan is clumsy in the evening, and she is not good at being a female celebrity at all. I was afraid that the things I made would be too vulgar and the Lord Leng would not like it, so I invited the aunt in the embroidery workshop of the Shanggong Bureau to help the slave and maid draw the embroidery. The slave maid thought that since it was to make amends, things had to be the same, so as to express the slave and maid's gratitude to the overseer......"

Next to him, Gu Yunxi completely turned into a stiff statue on the surface of his body.

Yanwan was close to her, but the voice seemed to be far away in the sky, and to her, it was extremely trance and ethereal.

Gu Yunxi is not a child of a few years old.

What does it mean for a woman to give a man an embroidered handkerchief, it is impossible for her not to understand!

At that time, whenever he went in and out of the tribute courtyard, he always quietly followed a bunch of small tribute girls behind him, and he looked at him from a distance in the dark, and only saw two eyes straight ......"

Gu Yunxi believes that such a handsome character, even if he is a eunuch, will be the focus of attention wherever he goes!

"Ahh

Gu Yunxi was stuck in cranky thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, and a shout next to Leng Buding came suddenly.

Gu Yunxi's body trembled suddenly, and he came back to his senses in an instant.

Yan Wan was frightened, her jade-like fingers pointed towards the position of the wok, and she shouted in a lost voice:

"Yun Gongzi, the vegetables are paste! The dish is mushy! ”

Gu Yunxi thought of the newly added dishes in the pot, and subconsciously looked down, the ball of hibiscus chicken slices was completely scorched, and it was lying on the bottom of the red-hot pot dryly.

Gu Yunxi's cheeks suddenly turned red, and his expression became extremely embarrassed:

"I'm sorry...... Patronizing and talking......"

The corners of Yanwan's lips moved slightly, her smile was thin and thin, and her exquisite face looked inexplicable, as if it was some kind of complexity that was not easy to capture.

The head was deflected at a slight angle, and a pair of watery bright eyes firmly locked on Gu Yunxi's nervous face, and asked her softly:

"Young Master Yun, what were you thinking just now?"

"No, I didn't think about anything......"

Gu Yunxi was uncomfortable by Yan Wan's strange gaze, shoveled off the waste in the pot a few times, and hid next to the water tank with a wok with both hands, deliberately avoiding the other party's scrutinizing eyes.

scooped up a scoop of water and poured it into the pot, but because he was upset, half of the scoop of water was sprinkled outside the edge of the pot, splashing all over the ground.

Gu Yunxi became in a hurry, squatting down to clean up, but he didn't pay attention to the beautiful face opposite, a vicious sneer passed by indifferently.

Brushing the wok, Gu Yunxi raised his head and said to Yan Wan:

"Miss Yanwan, bring the melon oxtail porridge that you have dried on the table to the overseer's room first. When the porridge is cold, the marrow in it will freeze and it will not be eaten. ”

"Good!"

Yanwan happily agreed, closed the lid of the porcelain-white soup cup on the wooden table, placed it in the food box, lifted the food box with a bright expression, and left first.

As soon as Yan Wan left, Gu Yunxi pulled out two more dishes, and felt absent-minded. He pulled over the chair and sat down, with a sad look on his face.

If you are late, should you believe it?

Letter, I have never known her in my life, and I just met and didn't know too much about her.

Don't believe it, innocent girl, who wants to joke about that kind of sensitive thing?

Governor, did you really accept Yanwan's embroidered handkerchief?

Gu Yunxi no longer had the heart to continue preparing dinner, so he sat dry, his mind was in a mess.

Half a moment later, the little maid walked into the kitchen and bowed his hand to Gu Yunxi:

"Master Yun, the Overseer has asked you to come over for dinner."

Gu Yunxi got up, pointed to the three newly cooked dishes on the table, and sent the little servant away:

"Take these things to the overseer's house, and tell him that I am tired, and go back to the house to rest."

As soon as he turned around, the man hurried out of the kitchen.

The Royal Palace, outside the Cold Palace

A man stood in the corner of the ruins, facing the red-pink wall, and whispered for a long time.

After a short while, a dull and gloomy voice came from the other side of the wall, sounding like an older woman:

“…… It's a clever way to kill two birds with one stone. In the name of assassination, he first attacked the dragon fetus in Concubine Xu's womb, and then used the mouth of the assassin to blame the admiral of Dongchang to borrow the initiator, which is really vicious. However, Leng Qingtang is really down, and it will be very detrimental to your future plans! ”

"Please rest assured, I sent that person to secretly assist Dongchang to turn over."

The female voice on the other side of the wall paused slightly, and said casually:

"A man of the Gentiles, a wolf of ambition. Don't trust it all, you need to pay more attention. ”

……

Imperial Palace, Dawn Night

Gu Yunyao wandered around the palace repeatedly, looking anxious.

In the past few days, her sister Gu Yunxi has kept sending informants to get in touch with her in the palace, urging her to get a roster of tribute girls who will present the "Flying Sky" dance at the spring banquet as soon as possible.

Zhao An, the eunuch in charge, stood with his arms hanging on the side, knowing in his heart what the master was worried about.

Zhao An bowed down and persuaded in a soft voice:

"Master, you're in a hurry. The little master entrusted him, and the slave only remembered a trick. ”

Gu Yunjin immediately stopped when she heard this, a trace of sadness appeared on her cheeks, and when she spoke, she was filled with resentment that was difficult to eliminate:

"I can't figure it out! What kind of ** soup did Leng Qingtang pour into Yunxi? When something happened to him, she was so anxious. If it's a matter of the clouds, this palace should help you. But she is for Leng Qingtang! You don't know, Grandpa Leng, what has you done to you and me! ”

Zhao An frowned, as if sighing, and said in a calm tone:

"It's all fate, and it has come to this day, why should the master bother thinking about the past and asking for troubles?

Now you and him are in the same boat, and only by being in the same boat can it be successful. He sank, and you are left alone in the future, and it is not good to cross the river alone! Master, if we help him now, we are helping ourselves. ”

Gu Yunyao looked straight at Zhao An, and there was a clear glow in her eyes, full of indescribable feelings.

"This palace has to think, because this palace can't stand you......"

Zhao An smiled calmly, his tone was softer, and he lowered his eyes and said:

"It's best now, you don't have to hide in Tibet anymore. Slaves, always accompany the master, it is also logical......"

"In the next life, this palace will definitely compensate you well......"

Gu Yunyao's heart ached more and more at this time, and she couldn't help but say something sourly.

Zhao An didn't want to tell Gu Yunyao the truth, he never believed that people would have any next life.

Live well in this life and leave no regrets, so that you can be worthy of yourself and the people you guard.

Thinking of the matter, Zhao An collected his emotions, put his hands between his sleeves, bowed slightly and said to Gu Yunyao:

"Master, the slave came up with a clever plan, just ask the master to give up a gold feather brocade that the emperor only rewarded."

Gu Yunyao was overjoyed and said continuously:

"Willing, willing! For the sake of Yunxi, this palace is naturally willing to do anything. Chant the piano, go and bring the feather brocade rewarded by the emperor"
