Chapter 64: The Empress Dowager will laugh with me
Perhaps seeing what I was thinking, the Empress Dowager said, "Don't be stunned, come and serve the mourning family." β
Seeing that I was still standing stupidly, Aunt Shen said, "Are you deaf?" Didn't you hear the words of the Queen Mother? β
I quickly knelt down and said, "Slave and maid, obey!" β
I ran to the Empress Dowager, and Aunt Shen said, "You pick up the chopsticks, and the Empress Dowager will look at the dish if she wants to eat." What she sees, what you clip. Got it? β
I nodded, indicating that I understood. The Empress Dowager was sitting on a chair, she looked at a dish on the table, and I immediately picked it up and put it in the Empress Dowager's bowl. With this move, Aunt Shen's face changed color in fright.
"Nonsense!"
Aunt Shen hurriedly came over, snatched the chopsticks from my hand, and picked up the dishes in the Queen Mother's bowl as quickly as possible. My heart was beating wildly, did I do something wrong?
"You, you! The dishes must be sandwiched on a silver plate, and after a while, the dishes are sandwiched onto another plate, and then the Queen Mother herself puts them in the bowl. Aren't you fooling around? Come! Change the bowl for the Queen Mother again! β
The Empress Dowager said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, don't blame her." She's been here for a long time, and you don't teach her! β
I knelt down, "The Empress Dowager, everything is the slave's fault." It has nothing to do with Aunt Shen, if the Empress Dowager wants to blame, she will punish the slave maid! β
The Empress Dowager looked at me, "You know the rules." Forget it, the mourners have forgiven you, get up and continue. β
"Slave and maid Xie Empress Dowager!"
"Don't forget! The wine should also be poured into a silver cup and wait for a while! Aunt Shen said.
I thought to myself, it's such a hassle to eat a meal! Didn't a palace maid taste it first? Why does this still have to be tested?
A meal, eaten for almost an hour and a half. I'm sour with chopsticks in my hand! After eating, the Empress Dowager spread her hands, leaned on the phoenix chair, and closed her eyes to recuperate. I was a little stunned, what does this mean?
Aunt Shen said, "Don't prepare yet!" β
I weakly asked, "What are you going to prepare?" β
"Wow! You little palace maid, you really are! β
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and said, "No hindrance, no hindrance." You teach her that's it. β
"Yes! Master, the old slave will teach! β
Aunt Shen looked at me and said, "Once the Empress Dowager leans on the phoenix chair and starts to close her eyes, it means that she is full of this meal." So you should prepare a handkerchief, a small wooden basin for washing your hands, and a cup for rinsing your mouth in advance. β
I nodded like pounding garlic, and hurriedly followed a group of palace maids to bring what Aunt Shen said. The Empress Dowager first took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then put her hand into the small wooden basin to wash. After washing, take a handkerchief and wipe your hands clean. Then pick up the cup and start rinsing your mouth. After doing this, I picked up the Empress Dowager and walked out of the palace.
"Little palace maid, after every meal, the Empress Dowager will go to the palace garden to take care of the flowers she grows, no matter how windy or rainy, you have to remember this!"
"The slave obeys."
Aunt Shen was on the right side of the Empress Dowager, and I was on the left. Behind him is a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs, and this formation is really powerful.
"Hmmγγγγγγ After mourning the family's meal, it will be much more comfortable to come out for a walk. β
"Yes, master, hold the old slave's hand, go carefully!"
I said, "It's great that the Empress Dowager can do this!" We have a saying there, 'Take a walk after dinner and live to ninety-nine'!" That's why a lot of people go for a walk after dinner! Good for the body! β
The Empress Dowager stopped, and Aunt Shen also looked at me with a stunned expression. I was nervous, wouldn't I, say the wrong thing again? Who knew that the Empress Dowager laughed, "If the mourning family had that life to live to ninety-nine, it would be good!" β
I thought I would be punished, but I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to blame me for talking nonsense.
Aunt Shen said: "The master must live a long life!" β
I also said: "Yes, you see that you have become the queen mother, don't say ninety-nine, nine hundred and ninety-nine is no problem!" β
The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Little girl with a greasy mouth, if the mourning family is nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, wouldn't it be a goblin?" βγ
I was a little surprised, after coming here for so long, the Empress Dowager gave me the impression that she was kind and stern, and then she couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes for the ancestral teachings of the palace. I didn't expect the empress dowager of the dignified Cloud Dynasty to laugh with my little palace maid? Looking at her face, I couldn't help but think of my deceased grandmotherγγγγγγ
