Chapter 418: It's Itchy and Unbearable

Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen quickly glanced at each other, and tacitly read the meaning of each other's eyes, and the two of them immediately accelerated the pace of going to the toilet.

The thatched toilet in the Qixing Hall is relatively far, and they have to pass in front of the eunuchs and palace maids of the Royal Forest Army all the way, and in order to maintain their manners, the two of them endured the strange itching on their bodies, and their faces were red before they finally came to the thatched toilet.

Nianzhen quickly scratched her back when she entered the door, "Oops, it's itching me!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu also scratched his chest and back with both hands, and said questioningly: "Me too, why was it fine before, but now my body suddenly itches?" ”

Nianzhen suddenly said vigilantly: "Is there something wrong with our clothes?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu had been thinking about what food was all over the table when she was tickling just now, and what they had eaten before leaving home, but she thought about it for a while but didn't find anything that would cause itching all over her body.

After Fu Xiaojiu eliminated everything, he also suspected the clothes he was wearing.

Fu Xiaojiu lowered his head and sniffed his clothes carefully, then furrowed his brows, "I asked about the smell of nettles." ”

Nianzhen scratched uncomfortably, "What did you say?" Nettle? ”

Fu Xiaojiu said angrily: "Yes, nettles can make people's skin itchy and unbearable, but nettles will quickly make people feel itchy if they touch the body, how can they only attack now?" By the way, I see, this is because these are not intimate clothing, so nettle powder is slowly penetrating into our skin. ”

Nianzhen scratched the itch and asked, "How can there be nettles on our clothes?" Could it be Mrs. Fang's ghost? ”

Fu Xiaojiu was also suspicious of Mrs. Fang, and said as calmly as possible: "First of all, whether it was her ghost or not, let's take off our clothes first!" ”

The thatched room in the palace is extremely clean, and there is water soaked in roses for people to clean their hands, and there are clean handkerchiefs for people to wipe their hands.

Fu Xiaojiu picked up a handkerchief and wiped it cleanly with water, but it could only temporarily relieve the itching on his body.

"No, just rubbing your body with water doesn't work. Jane, wait for me here. ”

Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly put on his clothes again and walked out quickly.

Nianzhen can only wipe her body with a handkerchief first, which can relieve her for a while.

Fu Xiaojiu came back soon, she was holding something in her hand, and smiled easily at Nian Zhen, "With this, we don't have to be afraid!" ”

When Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen went out from the Qixing Hall together, Lu Qianying noticed it, she had seen Fu Xiaojiu twist a few times strangely before, she wanted to go out with Fu Xiaojiu, but she happened to be stopped by another official's daughter.

Lu Qianying wanted to know what happened to Fu Xiaojiu, and finally got rid of the daughter who chatted with her before coming to the thatched house.

"What the hell is this rich Xiaojiu doing?"

Lu Qianying was standing at the door of the thatched house and probing her brain, and saw Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen walking out with calm expressions.

Lu Qianying just wanted to speak, but Fu Xiaojiu ignored her directly, and walked over to her with Nianzhen holding her arm.

At this time, a palace maid also walked over to this side, her eyes kept locked on Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen, and slowly showed an expression of disbelief.

Lu Qianying also showed a puzzled expression, and said to herself: "Are they just going to the thatched house?" ”

Lu Qianying immediately walked in, but found nothing.

After Lu Qianying left, the palace maid also went to the thatched house, and then walked out with a disappointed face.

Fu Xiaojiu returned to his seat and sat down, and Wan Lin immediately asked, "Lady, are you better?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu replied with a smile: "Okay, I'm fine." ”

Wan Lin asked curiously, "What's going on with the itch on your body just now?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu glanced at the gorgeous and delicate dress she was wearing and said: "Mrs. Fang gave me and Xiao Zhen these two clothes, she can actually think of sprinkling castor powder in it, we won't itch immediately when we put on the clothes, we have to wait for a while, the castor powder will penetrate into our middle coat and touch the skin, and Xiao Zhen and I will feel itchy and unbearable." Luckily, I spotted a creeper on one side of the wall of the latrine. ”

"Creeper?" Wan Lin blinked strangely.

Fu Xiaojiu explained: "The juice of the creeper vine can cure itching, so Xiao Zhen and I can come back safe and sound now, otherwise we can't relieve the itching even if we scratch the scaly wounds all over our bodies." ”

Wan Lin said with palpitations: "Fortunately, the lady has thought of such a way. By the way, why did Mrs. Fang do this? Didn't she thank you very much yesterday? ”

Fu Xiaojiu said helplessly: "She may still think that I am the culprit who caused the tragic death of her daughter and grandson, right?" Forget it, it's too painful for her to lose her loved ones, even if she is angry with me, I won't blame her. ”

Fu Xiaojiu really didn't want to complain that Mrs. Fang would do such a thing, anyway, she didn't make a fool of herself in front of the emperor and everyone, this matter will be over, otherwise when will she be wronged?

However, Fu Xiaojiu generously forgave Mrs. Fang, but Wan Lin was not as easy as Fu Xiaojiu thought.

That Jing Zhiye blamed Fu Xiaojiu in the early dynasty, Wan Lin still remembered clearly, he already knew that Jing Zhiye and Mrs. Fang were brother and sister, if the two brothers and sisters had always hated Fu Xiaojiu, then he and Fu Xiaojiu would not want to live a life without stopping.

"Lady, there's something I need to let you know."

Wan Lin had just started when he was interrupted.

"Wan Xiu, I toast you!" Song Xiuneng raised his wine glass and smiled politely at Wan Lin.

Wan Lin had no choice but to politely raise his glass to him.

However, Fu Xiaojiu and Lu Qianying didn't pay attention to anyone, Fu Xiaojiu's body was very comfortable at this time, and he was eating delicious food happily with his head down.

Lu Qianying glanced at her with disdain, and said to herself: "A village woman who has never seen the world, her appearance is really ugly!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't know what was going on, so he suddenly heard this, and immediately stopped his chopsticks and looked at her.

I saw that Lu Qianying's plate only had a small piece of fish on her plate, and the dishes in front of her did not move a few chopsticks.

If Fu Xiaojiu hadn't seen with her own eyes that except for Lu Qianying, everyone was eating hard without losing her temper, she would have wondered if she was too greedy.

Fu Xiaojiu said directly to Lu Qianying: "Since you are a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, then you will be your fairy, why bother with me and other laypeople?" ”

After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, he continued to eat with his head bored.

"You...... It's so vulgar! ”

Lu Qianying swallowed the sentence "I don't know what Wan Lin likes about you" into her stomach.

In fact, about the emperor's hatred of waste, Song Xiuneng also heard from Bachelor Zhu before coming to the banquet, and Song Xiu was a little anxious when he saw that Lu Qianying hadn't eaten much until now.

Song Xiuneng cautiously persuaded her: "Qianying, you better eat some more." ”

Lu Qianying is used to extravagance and waste at home, and before she went out, Mrs. Lu just told her to pay attention to her manners at all times, and she must leave an excellent impression on the emperor.

Mrs. Lu had a small calculation in her heart, she thought that if the emperor took a fancy to Lu Qianying, Lu Qianying would be much better than following a seven-grade editor and waiting a few years before she could be promoted.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to take a fancy to the courtiers and ladies from ancient times to the present, although such a thing has not happened in this dynasty, but there is also such a possibility.

Lu Qianying didn't have such thoughts in her heart, she just wanted to have a long face in front of the emperor and queen and let everyone praise her.

So as soon as Song Xiuneng persuaded her to eat, she also showed disdain to Song Xiuneng.

"Why are you so worthless like a country woman?"

After Lu Qianying finished speaking, Song Xiuneng's face changed, and he hurriedly glanced at her and warned in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense." Didn't you see that everyone, including the emperor, was eating? Your Majesty's most taboo behavior of wasting food, Qianying, don't let Your Majesty find fault with you. ”

"What?"

Lu Qianying was startled, and she quickly glanced around.

Song Xiuneng was right, the emperor and the queen were also eating elegantly when they watched the song and dance.

Lu Qianying believed Song Xiuneng's words this time, but she didn't thank Song Xiuneng for her reminder, but said dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

When Lu Qianying spoke, the emperor looked at her and found that the food in front of her was almost unchanged, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Fortunately, Lu Qianying had already started to eat, and the emperor's face looked better.

Lu Qianying and Song Xiuneng didn't see the emperor's expression, but Wan Lin saw the dissatisfied look in the emperor's eyes.

Although Fu Xiaojiu and Lu Qianying are close, after all, under the emperor's nose, Lu Qianying is currently only concerned about eating, and she has no time to take care of Fu Xiaojiu.

After Nianzhen came back from the thatched house, she also told Wan Zhang about the causes and consequences of the itching on her and Fu Xiaojiu's bodies, and Wan Zhang was also afraid for a while when she heard it.

Thanks to Fu Xiaojiu, who found something to cure itching in time, the two of them were afraid that they would really make a fool of themselves in front of the emperor.

Nianzhen is also a mother, and like Fu Xiaojiu, she didn't blame Mrs. Fang much.

Nianzhen was in a good mood at this time, although she ate something at home before, but now she is a double body, and the palace banquet is delicious, Fu Xiaojiu also told her the emperor's temper, so Nianzhen and Wanlin both ate very happily.

Nianzhen is not only far away from Fu Xiaojiu, but she is also very unlucky to sit in front of Zhou Bingshuang.

Zhou Bingshuang was also restrained and nervous at the beginning because it was the first time she entered the palace, and after a while, she gradually relaxed.

An Yushu didn't want to take her into the palace, for fear that she would be unable to hold back her temper anymore, but after Zhou Bingshuang repeatedly assured An Yushu, An Yushu reluctantly brought her here.

When Fu Xiaojiu was questioned by the emperor, she was very unhappy, and the dresses worn by Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen were unexpectedly delicate and good-looking, which made Zhou Bingshuang crazy with jealousy.

She was pondering what to do to make Nianzhen stink, and a woman sitting on Nianzhen's left helped her.

This woman is the person who chartered the ready-to-wear shop yesterday.

She recognized Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen at a glance when she saw them, and when she learned that Fu Xiaojiu was actually Mrs. Zhuangyuan, a cold breath appeared in her head.

Recalling yesterday's scene, she still felt lucky, fortunately she didn't have any further conflicts with Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen.

Her husband is ranked after Wan Zhang, so she sits next to Nianzhen.

Even if she was glad about yesterday's events, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous when she saw the gorgeous and delicate dresses on Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen today.

She didn't dare to do anything to Fu Xiaojiu, but she couldn't let go of Nianzhen, who was sitting next to her.

She Tan Shiting is the daughter of the governor, how can she be compared to a village woman like Nianzhen?
