The bitter nights of midsummer are short, and the opening is slightly cool.

This year's summer has been exceptionally hot.

However, just after the hour, the sun began to burn people's skin and hurt.

The sisters of Daguanyuan couldn't stand such a sultry weather, so they rushed to Li Kun one by one, and with the help of the big jujube tree in the backyard of Daoxiangchun, while facing the wind and enjoying the coolness, while playing against the female workers, or playing and joking, they could also relieve this hot and boring time.

The maids picked a few lotus pods from the pond and gathered together to peel lotus seeds and eat them. When Xiangyun saw it, he also went to grab some of them, and turned around and asked Daiyu if she wanted to eat them.

Daiyu was playing against Baochai, and she couldn't bear to be disturbed by her, so she said: "Whoever eats this seriously, you just care about eating it now, and you turn around and shout that your stomach hurts, then you can suffer it." ”

Xiangyun snorted at her, turned around and sat down beside Baochai, still eating lotus seeds and watching them play chess.

For a while, Wang Xifeng led the girls over again.

"Yo, you can't find anyone in your respective rooms, so I'll say you might go into a rat hole, but I'll catch you."

Wang Xifeng's consistent fiery temperament offended everyone as soon as he came.

Li Kun saw that the maid behind her was carrying a very large object, so she asked with a smile: "Which one has anything to do with you, a poor-mouthed and rotten household, and don't you say it quickly, what good things did you take this time to honor us?" ”

As soon as Li Kun said this, everyone noticed that Wang Xifeng brought this thing.

Wang Xifeng smiled: "Look at what you can ...... However, this time I really guessed it for you, and it was indeed a good thing! ”

As soon as they heard that it was a good thing, everyone put down what they were doing and gathered around.

Tanchun stepped forward and touched it, feeling cold and cold, and immediately said, "This is Bingjian?" ”

Wang Xifeng nodded.

"Is it Bingjian, what is such a big Bingjian for?"

The sisters naturally knew what Bing Jian was, and it was the holy object that was used to escape the heat in the summer. But most of them have seen it, but they have never seen such a big one.

Shi Xiangyun said: "It doesn't matter what he does, you can see if you open it!" As he spoke, he lifted the cover and revealed a large box.

Tanchun helps to lift the lid together.

"Wow~ It's a fruit!" Xichun exclaimed.

I saw that in this two-foot-square box, there were thick ice cubes all around, and the volume in the middle was less than half the size of the whole box, but seven or eight compartments were opened up in it, and in each compartment, there were cleaned and clean fruits.

Grapes, bayberry, cherries, plums, etc.

On this day, there is still cold air bubbling outside. Just looking at it has already made many people swallow saliva.

"Is the ice coming down in the palace so early this year? It's not yet June. "Tanchun knows that there is no ice cellar in Rongguo Mansion, and in the past, most of the ice cubes used in Rongguo Mansion in summer were to wait until the hottest days, and the palace would give some ice cubes down.

There won't be a lot, it's all used by Jia's mother.

Wang Xifeng replied: "This is not an example in the palace, an example in the palace, I'm afraid it will take half a month before it will be sent down." ”

"And what is this?"

"Could it be that the people below are filial to the old lady?"

The crowd asked.

In the huge capital, it is naturally impossible for only the palace to have ice cellars. With the power of Rongguo Mansion, it is not impossible to get some ice cubes from elsewhere.

"You just have to ask questions and ask questions, I didn't see that Yun Ya's saliva was about to flow out!"

Wang Xifeng wanted to sell it, but happened to see Xiangyun staring at the chilled fruit all the time, and he didn't blink his eyes, so he made fun of her.

Xiangyun smiled embarrassedly.

Wang Xifeng said again: "I advise you to hurry up and try it, there is no good thing, I will return the things to others later!" ”

Wang Xifeng said as he ordered the maids to carry the "refrigerator" to the stone table over there, and asked the maids in Li Kun's courtyard to hurry up and get the fruit bowl.

"What are you going to do with your plate, wouldn't it be more convenient to eat like this?"

Xiangyun couldn't wait, since she was sure that it was something that was sent in for them to eat, she didn't wait, reached out and took two cherries, one of which was handed to Xichun, who was not very reachable, and threw the other one into her mouth.

"That's what the cloud girl said."

Daiyu supported Xiangyun's style this time, washed her hands slightly in the basin brought by the maid, and also reached out to take one.

Wang Xifeng gave up.

So, seven or eight sisters and sisters-in-law gathered around to eat chilled fruits.

It's a treat.

"Second sister-in-law Lian, you see that we have eaten and eaten, you should always tell us who gave this thing this time, right? Don't finish eating by then, and you don't know who the main owner is, it's too unconscionable. ”

After Wang Xifeng also ate a bayberry, everyone couldn't help but ask again.

Wang Xifeng wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and Ying Ying smiled: "Hehe, I'm afraid you won't believe it, this is sent by the princess!" ”

Everyone was surprised.

When Bao Chai heard this, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's the Princess Xingyue who invited us to her house last time." ”

"Bao Yatou guessed it, but it wasn't her. The chief eunuch who sent it said that this thing was specially given to her by the emperor before the emperor, and she only had this one. Early this morning, she ordered someone to fill the palace with fresh fruit from Tegong, and asked her to bring it to the house, saying that she would invite you sisters to taste it together. Hehe, in this way, my sister-in-law and I are still stained with your light, and we have enjoyed the treatment that only dragons and grandsons have! ”

When the sisters heard this, they didn't know how to react.

Although the princess had only been to Rongguo Mansion once, she had a deep impression on them.

Very welcoming, very well-behaved and lovely a princess.

However, no matter how well-behaved she is, she is also a princess, and she is a nobleman.

Originally, although she said that she would invite them to her princess's mansion to play, they also thought that maybe she was just polite. Even if she really lacks playmates, there are many noble daughters in Beijing, and they are not the only ones in Jiafu.

However, who would have thought that she really took them to heart, and specially asked someone to send her good things out of the palace to share with them.

This approach is really puzzling.

Wang Xifeng saw that the sisters were thinking, and said: "Perhaps, we are not just touching your light, you don't know yet, your second brother has been promoted again." ”

Everyone couldn't figure out the princess's thoughts, but they cared enough about Jia Qing.

Tanchun said: "Didn't the second brother only be a dragon forbidden lieutenant for half a year, why was he promoted again?" Where did the ascension go? ”

......

Princess Xingyue Mansion, as soon as Jia Qing walked out of his room, two people led several soldiers of the forbidden army over, clasped their fists and saluted:

"I've seen the Commander!"

Jia Qing nodded, and then said bitterly: "Brother Niu and Zilong, they all said not to call me the commander, have you ever seen the commander of the fourth grade?" ”

The commander, the military title, is the head of the first army, and generally from the second rank. For example, the commander of the forbidden army in charge of the palace ban is an upright second-grade military attaché.

As a leader, it's just that his grade is low, and the key is that there are few people under him......

A total of one hundred and twenty people.

Put it in the army, it's just a centurion!

Seeing the bitterness in Jia Qing's eyes, Niu Zhan and Shao Zilong knew that Jia Qing was not disgusted with his low position......

In fact, before, Jia Qing, like them, was the imperial guard Long Ban Lieutenant, and among the palace guards, he was only a third-class guard, and he only had the fifth grade!

Jia Qingcai worked for half a year, and he was promoted to the second-class guard of the fourth grade, which is two levels in a row. Jumping two levels in a row within half a year, even for them with backgrounds, it is like riding a rocket!

Just like the two of them, they arrived at the Dragon Forbidden Captain earlier than Jia Qing to gild, but this time as Jia Qing came out, their grades did not change at all, and they became Jia Qing's direct subordinates......

In contrast, they should be the ones who should be bitter.

However, as soon as they thought of the danger Jia Qing was going to face next, the two of them felt that Jia Qing's expression was not an exaggeration at all.

"Military discipline cannot be abolished, your Excellency is now the leader of our guards, we should call you the Commander!"

Shao Zilong's eyes were a little playful, and he could faintly see schadenfreude.

Who told them to stay in the palace well, Jia Qing just asked their generals to come out and serve the most difficult lord!

Jia Qing's current identity is still the Imperial Guard, Long Ban Lieutenant, but he has been promoted from a third-class guard to a second-class guard. The full title of his official position should be called: Commander of the Guards of Princess Xingyue Mansion!

As the name suggests, it is for Princess Xingyue. I heard that this is an official position appointed by the emperor, and he is responsible for the safety of Princess Xingyue's Mansion and Princess Xingyue's travel.

The 120 guards under his command were all transferred from the forbidden army, and although the military roster was still in the forbidden army, it was no longer under the jurisdiction of the forbidden army.

In this way, it can be regarded as leading an army by itself, but it is not wrong to call it a commander.

"You guys go down."

Jia Qingzhi walked the guards, took two steps forward and stepped down the steps, hugged Niu Zhan and Shao Zilong's shoulders, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Brother is really a big deal this time, if there is danger in the future, please ask the two brothers to help a lot." ”

Niu Zhan broke away from Jia Qing and said meticulously: "I don't dare to help you with your help, you can ask for more blessings yourself!" ”

"Isn't it, old cow? I regarded you as a lifesaver, and made a special trip to ask Your Majesty to transfer you two out. I have the best relationship with you two among the guards in the palace, if you don't help me, then who can I rely on? ”

"No one can be trusted! You are embarrassed to say that the two of us are on an errand in the palace, safe and sound. Now that you have been transferred to the princess's mansion, we have such a frightening errand, it would be good if we didn't beat you up, and help you? Besides, with the strength of the two of us, it would be good to be able to protect ourselves in front of the princess! It's hilarious to help you. ”

"I can't say that, although I transferred you out, it is not as safe as the errand in the palace. But as long as the three of us work together to tide over the difficulties, are we afraid that we will not be promoted and make a fortune?

With our identity, there is more oil and water outside than in the palace......"

Shao Zilong's eyes narrowed, but he didn't deny this. When he was thrown into the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant by his father, he was a little reluctant. Because he feels that there are too many rules in the palace, which is not suitable for his "easy-going" temperament.

"Don't think about getting promoted and getting rich, the commander should think about how to protect himself. Three days later, the princess is coming, judging from the princess's love for you in the past, you can hold on for a month without being crippled, count me as losing! ”

Niu Zhan said suddenly.

"It's okay, old cow, I can't imagine that you can still say such connotative words, little brother admires!"

Niu Zhan glanced at Shao Zilong, and then said to Jia Qing: "The subordinates retire." ”

Seeing that Niu Zhan was gone, Shao Zilong also wanted to leave. Jia Qing pulled him and said: "Niu Zhan was taught by his father to have little tendons, and he doesn't understand the importance of teamwork, I believe that Brother Zilong must understand, as long as we help each other, even if we are princesses, they can't do anything to us!" ”

Shao Zilong hurriedly cleared up the relationship: "Brother Jia, you are you and I are me, if you tell your brother about anything else, my brother will definitely help you." However, that is the princess of Xingyue, the character of the prince and the dragon grandson who will tremble in front of her, how can I help you?

Who told you to take this job in the first place? ”

"Do you think I want to, I don't know why, the emperor didn't give me a chance to refuse at all, so he made a will, what can I do?"

"It's cold."

Shao Zilong shrugged his shoulders and slipped away from the sky.
