Chapter 63: Is it sick?
Steward Lu is also secretly weighing in his heart, Yu Die'er is a foundationless after all, even if she sits in the position of the supreme female official, at best, she is a high-level maidservant, and she is like a tiger, today's glory, I don't know how to do it in the future, and the queen is different, although there is nothing to do, but her mother's family background is deep, and no matter which prince is the emperor, she is the queen mother, and the status is extremely stable, unless the queen's position is shaken, but it is impossible now, the prince's position has been established for many years, although the prince was born to Rou Guifei, but the queen is still the queen over the years, the status is very stable, there should be no change, so of course you have to listen to the queenγ
The eunuch Youzi was so scheming, he only thought for a moment, and then quickly made a decision: "The slave Xie Queen Mother taught her, and the slave must take good care of Ximian Palace, no matter how big or small, take care of the emperor and the princess, and don't let the queen worry about such things." β
"Well, how can the palace not be at ease about the things that Steward Lu is doing? It's not early, and the palace is a little tired, kneel down!" Seeing that Steward Lu replied quickly, the queen was very satisfied, put down the teacup, and said to the grandmother beside her: "Reward!"
Mama went up to Steward Lu and gave him a purse, which usually contained silver ingots. At this time, whether it is greedy for money or to reassure the master, the slave must be accepted, because only if you accept it, the master thinks that you should do something, and the land steward will accept it, and thank you for it.
"You go to the treasury to pack up a few gifts, tomorrow the Japanese Palace will personally go to Ximian Palace to congratulate, the emperor's decree has been issued for a few days, it stands to reason, the palace should also go to see it." The queen said to the grandmother beside her.
"Yes!" replied Mama. The queen also got up, and the personal palace maid helped her to rest in the dormitory.
After the steward left, Yu Die'er entered the hall and sat in the room, at this time she was a little remorseful, she was only angry at the time, she knew that she should have dinner in Youlanxuan and then moved in, now it is night, there are no rice dishes in the inner dining room of this Ximian Palace, and the ingredients will be sent tomorrow at the earliest, but the stomach is now singing the empty city plan, how to sleep peacefully?
She held her pestle to her forehead and stared at the tea on the table. You can't go to someone else's palace in the dead of night to ask for food, right? It's not called Hanako, if you go, you probably have to be laughed at by the people in this palace in private. may also say that she is a folk begging for food.
Qiu Ying saw her frowning, and she was secretly anxious, the slaves and maids were okay for a night, after all, they were used to being hard-working, and sometimes they made mistakes and were punished for not eating for a few days, but how could it be good to be hungry girls?
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she said in surprise: "Girl, when I was moving things just now, the slave maid saw a few boxes of snacks on the table, and thought that we were all gone, and it would be wasted to leave them there, so they were all put in the baggage, which was just distributed this morning." Now it's just time to fill your hunger. β
"Take it, take it," Yu Die'er immediately came to her senses, and her face was full of energy.
Qiu Ying agreed, and went to the side hall to get snacks.
Yu Butterfly exhaled a long breath, the food has fallen, the mood is better, life in the world, food and clothing, her pursuit is very low, no, in this life she has to add one, revenge! This is a big deal, no matter what, it must be placed on top of food and clothing. But right now, it's more important to eat, how to take revenge if you starve to death?
"Why is Qiu Ying so slow!" Seeing that Qiu Ying hadn't come yet, she muttered anxiously, picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip of tea mat first.
No, there were only teapots and bowls on the table just now, why now I look at how many things to eat on the table, pine nut lily cake, honey and red date cake, pea yolk, egg fragrant rolls, and there is a big plate between a few dim sum plates, and a steaming roast chicken on the plate.
"Wow!" Yu Die'er almost drooled, and said to herself, could it be that Qiu Ying had come in? I just drank tea and didn't pay attention? Impossible, I sat at the table, and when I came in, I put something on the table, how could I not see it?
She frowned, what was going on?
I'm afraid I'm hungry and hallucinating, but I seem to have used a lot of lunch? I ate some fruit in the morning, so I won't be hungry and hallucinate, right? She shook her head, but she couldn't think of why. Xu is moving and walking, so she is more hungry, right? While finding a credible reason, she got up and walked out, just drinking tea and not quenching her hunger, let's go and see why the girl from Qiu Ying hasn't come yet.
"Autumn Warbler, Autumn Warbler. Because she didn't know which room the warbler was in, she went out of the temple door and called a few times under the porch, and her eyes searched everywhere to see which room the warbler came out of the courtyard. When the eyes were scanning, I saw a huge fiery red thing lying on the palace gate of Ximian Palace, with a long tail, and the fish and butterflies looked at it, and the thing rose into the air and flew towards her, seeing that the monster flickered its wings and arrived in front of her, and the sharp mouth was about to peck over.
"Ahh
"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?" The eunuch who was pulling weeds in the courtyard hurriedly ran over, the peony also ran out of the side hall, and the autumn warbler had just found a snack from a pile of burdens, and was taking it over, and she heard the screams of the fish and butterflies and ran over.
"There's a flaming red thing that looks like a bird and a monster, and it's coming to peck me!" said to the crowd in shock.
"The flaming birds, the minions didn't see it. A few eunuchs wondered, a few of them had just pulled weeds on the steps of the courtyard, if there was something, they should have seen it, but the appearance of the adults did not look like lying. Could it be that I didn't pay attention?
"Didn't you see it just now? It was crouching on the gate of the palace, its tail was very long, and its whole body was fiery red, and when I looked at it, it rushed towards me. Yu Butterfly described it vigorously.
The minions all shook their heads, and Qiu Ying also said: "The slaves and maids didn't see anything when they came out, and the girl was a little dazzled by hunger." The slave will help you in with some snacks. β
Yu Die'er stroked her hair, and looked at the palace gate, there was indeed nothing, and the courtyard was also empty, maybe she was really hungry, didn't she see that there was still food on the table in the room just now? Maybe she was really hungry and hallucinated.
Peony helped the fish butterfly to sit down, and Qiu Ying opened a few packs of snacks in her hand and asked her to eat quickly. Yu Die'er was really dizzy when she saw that those pastries were all ghosted.
It seems that eating is the best policy, she ate a few begonia cakes in one go, and a few purple sweet potato and yam cakes before she stopped to take a breath.
"Chuqing Palace's dim sum today is better than usual, and they are all my favorite food. She said with a sip of tea.
"The girl is hungry and thinks it is better than usual, and she lets you eat it in the morning, and you taste it and never move again. Peony covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Oh, is it?" said Fish Butterfly in disbelief. She couldn't seem to remember what had happened in the morning.
She ate several more pieces, felt full, and looked at things again, as if there were no ghosts, she should be hungry.
Seeing that there were still a lot of dim sum, he said to Peony and Autumn Oriole: "You also eat, the taste of hunger is really uncomfortable, this followed me to a new place, I was hungry, I really can't stand you." Give some to the people in the courtyard, first pad their stomachs, they will wait for the business trip, and they don't know what is left to eat when they go back. β
Yu Die'er knows that the meal of doing miscellaneous work is low, and he waits until the errand every day to return to the residence outside the palace, and the errand is punctual, but eats some serious, these few who pull weeds in the yard because they are on errand, and the steward of the land tells them to finish it as soon as possible, in order to work more, they should only go down when the palace gate is about to close, and there must be some soup and water left, and there is nothing to eat. Being a slave is like this, no one thinks about anyone, who cares about whom, who cares about leaving you food or something.
Peony and Qiu Ying understand the character of Yu Die'er, and know that she has always been sympathetic to the subordinates, so they did so, and those working slaves don't know, holding the snacks sent by Peony, they are all grateful and apprehensive, and there will be masters who are afraid that the slaves will be hungry? They don't dare to think about it, this harem is a place of right and wrong, which master doesn't take the slave out of anger when it doesn't go well, beating and scolding is a common thing, if it's annoying, the punishment is normal.
It doesn't matter if you're hungry or not? Even if you're tired and starved to death, they won't look at you squarely. So they were all full of emotion and ate some snacks, and they worked harder.
After eating, after washing, the fish and butterflies will rest, their dinner is solved, tomorrow the emperor's meal still does not know where to do? After thinking about it, I decided to go to the imperial dining room on the side of the Xuanyi Hall to do it, not to mention the complete things, the safety is also guaranteed, get up early tomorrow, so that I can go there to discuss with the consul in the dining room, all for the emperor's errand, I guess it will not be difficult for myself, right?
I made up my mind, and there was nothing to worry about, so I closed my eyes and wanted to sleep, but I always felt that the room was not quiet, and there were some rumbling sounds in my ears, and sometimes it was like the sound of insects, and it was really uncomfortable to listen to the noise, and I was finally groggy in the chaos, inexplicably like I was asleep, and I felt that I was falling from a high altitude, or head-down, and it seemed that I would never fall to the bottom, and the weightlessness of the top-heavy made her head dizzy, and subconsciously seemed to know that it was a dream, and she was trying to wake up but couldn't wake upγ
"Girl, girl?" Peony, who was keeping vigil, saw that the fish and butterflies in her sleep looked uncertain, and hurriedly shook her and called her softly, shouting a few times to wake her up, but it was the same situation when she fell asleep again. The nightmarish sight stirred the fish and butterflies that did not sleep all night.
Lying on the bed until the sky was slightly bright, she simply got up, she wondered in her heart, she didn't know how this happened, no matter how troubled and anxious she was before, she wouldn't be like this?
"Peony, do you think I'm sick?" she sat at the table without saying a word since she got out of bed, and suddenly said dejectedly.
