Chapter Seventy-Nine
Yikun Palace, Xiao Guo's Palace
The palace maid Nian'er was burning something, probably because she was afraid of people peeping, the doors and windows in the house were closed, and the black smoke filled the room, which could choke Xiao Guo's very lightly.
Especially now in July, the weather is already very hot, so the house is like a stove.
Xiao Guo only wore a belly pocket and sat on the bed, at this time she was already a lot thinner than when she was just out of confinement, although her face was still round, but she had already shown a little bit of her original beauty, she covered her nose with one hand, and fanned away the smoke in front of her with the other.
"Ahem, Nian'er, are you okay?"
Nian'er, who was squatting on the ground, replied while stirring the ashes in the oven, "The little master will endure for a while, and it will be soon." β
Seeing this, Xiao Guo's eyes flashed with a trace of dissatisfaction, but he didn't speak again, and simply put down the bed tent and hid on the bed.
After a while, when Xiao Guo was a little sleepy, Nian'er stepped forward and called, "Little master, it's all right." β
Xiao Guo's drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and he pulled the bed tent, "Then don't you hurry up and bring it to this little master!" β
"Yes."
It seemed that Nian'er was accustomed to Xiao Guo's temper, and her tone was still as flat as usual, and then she picked up a bowl of decoction with a color like sesame paste from the table and sent it to Xiao Guo.
Looking at the black and residual decoction in front of her, Xiao Guo had no appetite, and the smell even made her a little disgusting, so she asked suspiciously, "Is this really useful?" β
"Little master, rest assured, this lotus leaf ash is definitely useful."
Xiao Guo tasted it carefully, it was still the usual bitterness, but thinking of what Nian'er said, she couldn't help pinching her nose and poured down this big bowl full of bitter juice.
Nian'er handed over a few plums at the right time to let Xiao Guo slow down.
"Little master, do you want the slave to give you a massage now?"
Xiao Guo nodded, "Then come on." β
Nian'er walked in, and as soon as Xiao Guo looked up, he saw the terrible face under Nian'er's bangs, and he was so frightened that he quickly turned his head away.
However, Nian'er didn't seem to see Xiao Guo's reaction, and there was not even a trace of waves on her face covered under the heavy bangs, she skillfully spread a very thin layer of colorless yarn on Xiao Guo's back, and then poured balm on it, and pressed it carefully for Xiao Guo's son.
Xiao Guo enjoyed this treatment very much, and after a while, he fell asleep under Nian'er's skillful technique.
Feeling that Xiao Guo had fallen asleep, Nian'er behind him couldn't help but show a mysterious smile, just because there was a large scar on his face, it looked particularly terrifying and scary.
Xianfu Palace
Recently, Concubine Li's life can be described as extremely unpleasant, thinking that because the Zhongcui Palace was burned down, she let Wu Ya's move to this Xianfu Palace, and now she is really remorseful.
Originally, she asked Wu Yashi to move over because of selfishness, one is of course for Wu Ya's little brother, although the little brother is not strong, but he is also a child, Li goes to see the poor child from time to time, and her motherly love that has nowhere to be placed can be regarded as an outlet to vent.
The second is for the emperor, originally she thought that after Wu Ya's move here, Kangxi would come to Xianfu Palace a few more times, yes, Kangxi came, but he didn't go to her house once, either to Wu Ya's house, or to Wen's house, she is still very deserted here.
Not only did Wu Ya's move not bring her any benefits, but even Wu Ya's intentionally or unintentionally showed off her favor in front of her, not that the emperor rewarded her with a hairpin last night, or that the emperor gave her a bracelet this morning, which made her angry enough.
So now An Concubine and Wu Yashi are tired of each other, An Concubine doesn't like Wu Ya's favor or Wu Ya's delicate tone when she speaks, and Wu Ya's is jealous of An Concubine's concubine.
On this day, Concubine An's palace maid was grooming her, and yesterday Wu Yashi came to her again to show off her grace, and she didn't fall asleep all night, and she got up this morning.
"Why should the mother bother with that villain, in the end, it is not the mother who suffers."
"Hey, this palace doesn't know this reason."
An Concubine picked out a pair of cloisonnΓ© ruby earrings from the jewelry box, "Let's bring this today." β
"Yes."
An Concubine continued: "Everyone in the palace said that Wu Ya's background was low, but the pair of two-color hibiscus satin shoes that I saw on her feet yesterday in this palace are extremely exquisite, and such good things are not even available in this palace." β
The palace maid who was dressing up behind her was thoughtful, "The slave maid has heard that Wu Ya's grandfather's forehead ginseng is the head of the imperial dining room, and there must be a lot of oil and water in it." β
"Oh, and what's going on?"
An Concubine seemed to suddenly think of something, and fiddled with her long fake nails, Wu Ya's grandfather turned out to be the head of the imperial dining room, and the imperial dining room was in charge of the diet of the people in the first palace, Wu Ya's family had such a grandfather, isn't it like guarding a vault?
If you want to say that the imperial dining room is so powerful, it's really not too powerful, but it's just a place to cook, but if you underestimate it, it's really wrong.
First of all, almost all the food in this palace has to pass through the imperial dining room, what does this mean? It shows that the imperial dining room can grasp the preferences of everyone in this palace, for example, in the past month, An Concubine has always asked people to go to the imperial dining room to get red beans, what does that mean, it shows that An Concubine likes to drink red bean porridge and eat red bean cake.
The concubine's preferences are actually not very important, what matters is the emperor's preferences, although the emperor has been very careful not to expose his true preferences on weekdays, but the things he likes to eat always have to eat two more bites, which can not be hidden from the servants of the shrewd imperial dining room.
Wu Ya's family has a grandfather who is the head of the imperial dining room, which is equivalent to mastering all of Kangxi's preferences, An Concubine clapped her hands, no wonder Wu Ya's family was promoted so quickly all the way, it is strange that there is such a help not to be promoted.
Secondly, there is another convenience in the imperial dining room, that is, the most common poisoning in the palace, there are many poisoning doorways in this palace, and the imperial dining room is one of the most important places.
An Concubine suddenly became a little worried when she thought about it, there would be no problem with the red beans she ate a few days ago, then Wu Yashi would not want to murder her, after all, according to Wu Ya's insidious nature, this kind of thing is not impossible.
She hurriedly called someone to find the imperial doctor, and at the same time did not forget to arrange for someone to spread the news, since Wu Yashi made her uncomfortable, then she simply went to find Wu Ya's trouble.
Wu Ya's grandfather turned out to be the head of the imperial dining room, as soon as the news came out, the six palaces were all frightened, some of them were really timid, and even felt that their stomachs had hurt, or their heads were already dizzy, of course, they also pointed all the fingers at Wu Ya, thinking that Wu Ya's and the people in the imperial dining room must have colluded to murder them.
For a while, the Tai Hospital was overcrowded, and the palace maids and eunuchs who came to invite the Tai Doctor were all crowded into a pot of porridge.
The matter is getting bigger and bigger, and it has been spread all over the palace in less than half a day, and Wu Yashi, who is the central figure, is in Xianfu Palace to appreciate these good things that the emperor has rewarded her these days.
She has a jewelry box made of sandalwood, which is specially used to put these jewelry, and she is leisurely wiping a jasper ring here, just breathing on it, before she can wipe it, she sees Chunhua running in screaming.
"Little master, it's not good!"
"Stop, panic something."
Wu Yashi scolded Chunhua with a loud shout, shook the handkerchief in his hand, and said indifferently: "What's the matter?" Isn't it a little brother? Didn't I already say it, if the little brother continues to cry non-stop, then let the grandmother feed him a sip of soothing soup. β
Chunhua stood aside and tried desperately to argue, but because she was running too quickly just now, she didn't even breathe.
finally took a big breath, and Chunhua hurriedly said: "Little Lord, it's not Little Brother, but..."
Without waiting for Chunhua to finish speaking, Wu Yashi was directly anxious, and the ring in his hand suddenly slipped down and fell to the ground, and two cracks appeared on the originally perfect jasper.
"How, how can this be."
Wu Yashi was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, going back and forth in the house, she really messed up this time, not only was she implicated, but more importantly, her grandfather was also brought in by herself.
Grandfather has been the head of the imperial dining room for many years, and she knows how thick the oil and water are, and because of this, although their veins are coated, their lives are very moist, and even many Manchurian nobles can't compare.
If this time my grandfather really lost the beauty of the head of the imperial dining room because of him, then she would really regret it.
Of course, the Wu Ya clan is not the kind of person who has no opinions, is timid and afraid of things, otherwise he would not have been selected by the crow clan to be sent to the palace.
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Yashi first thought of the most critical question in this matter, that is, whether this matter had reached the emperor's ears or not.
If the emperor doesn't know, then even if it's true, it can be fake, but if the emperor knows, things will be really bad.
In order to be able to grasp the latest situation, Wu Ya even used a spy placed in the Qianqing Palace by the clan, the old eunuch has been serving in the palace for more than forty years, and has also provided her with a lot of information on weekdays.
The Hidden Pavilion
Shu Wan saw that the matter had come out, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and her jade hand gently picked up a sunspot and put it on the chessboard.
That's right, the news that Wu Ya's grandfather Eshen is the head of the imperial dining room is exactly what she 'inunintentionally' revealed to the little palace maid next to An Concubine, so that there is already a gap between An Concubine and Wu Ya's family, and Wu Ya's family will become isolated in Xianfu Palace in the future, this is the situation she wants to see.
I just don't know, how will Wu Yashi deal with it this time?
