In the blink of an eye, the sun was turning west, and it was estimated that the person who was in charge of the dormitory was about to arrive.

The rain and snow made tea early and prepared to greet it.

At present, the master is not favored, and they can't offend people casually. During the day, Pan Zhen'an came in a hurry, so that the two of them didn't have time to prepare, and they didn't even stuff the broken silver into the purse, did they want their father-in-law to carry a small handful of broken silver back to the Taihe Palace?

After thinking about it, Pan Zhenan may not be able to look at those broken silver, after all, he has spent more silver than he has seen in the rain and snow, and the silver of the snowflake flower is not much as long as he follows the emperor?

What's more, the first time he came into contact with his master, he wasn't sure how far the master could go, it was good to be favored, even if his cup of tea was not drunk in vain today, but if he was not favored or provoked the emperor's taboo, then he couldn't ask for him? He wasn't stupid enough to do that.

I was nervous and restless all day, but when it was almost evening, Yao Chuxi felt relieved.

"Little master, why don't you have dinner first? I don't know if I can eat when I go to the Taihe Palace, but don't go hungry. ”

Listening to Luoxue's words, Yao Chuxi felt that there was some truth: "Tell Jiang Liu to go and pass the meal." ”

"What does the little master want to eat?" Luoxue asked again.

This is the first time Luo Xue has asked this sentence, in the past two years, she has always been what she eats in the dining room, where is she to choose?

Yao Chuxi couldn't remember any of the best dishes made by the dining room for a while, so he could only deal with it casually, "Tell the dining room to watch and do it." ”

Looking at the four words let's do it, it suited Yuan Shaoyu's appetite.

He only knew that Yao Cairen liked to eat fish, and he knew that Yao Cairen didn't pick his mouth, so it would be much easier.

He asked his apprentice to prepare a basket of small buns filled with fish and meat puree, saying that it was one cage, but in fact there were only four in one cage, and the buns could be eaten in one bite. I personally made two dishes, thinking that Yao Chuxi would accompany him tonight, and he couldn't eat food that was too heavy and easy to get into trouble, so he only made some light, heavy only a plate of salted cucumbers, or a small dish with a very small amount.

When Jiang Liu came to pick up dinner again, he took two deep breaths at the door before entering the dining room, said a few polite words to Yuan Shaoyu, took the dinner and nodded.

Yao Chuxi was having dinner, Qiu Shanggong walked into Yunyan Pavilion with two palace maids, and when he entered the house, he couldn't help frowning when he saw Yao Cairen eating steamed buns.

"Yao Cairen will accompany you tonight, you don't need dinner, if the emperor is happy, he will leave you to eat together in the Taihe Palace." Qiu Shanggong said while removing the dishes on the square table under his two palace maids, and they did not allow others to resist at all.

Looking at this posture, is it giving Yao Chuxi a horse?

Qiu Shanggong has been the dormitory supervisor for many years, so he naturally understands the emperor's habits and preferences, and also knows that a talented person like Yao Chuxi, who has no status and no family, is just summoned by the emperor occasionally to accompany him.

Since it is an occasional match, what is the long-term reason? It's just to serve them once or twice, and you can't give them a little face? It is difficult for such a small talent to have a chance to turn over, and dare to sue her in front of the saint?

This is different from what she thinks about Yuan Shaoyu, although Yuan Shaoyu doesn't take such talents in his eyes, but he pays attention to doing things without merit, but without fault, there is no need to provoke himself in vain, just to save face?

"What Qiu Shanggong said is that it snows." Yao Chuxi couldn't see Qiu Shanggong's face, and asked Luoxue to serve tea to Qiu Shanggong.

The snow of this tea service is also unwilling.

"Yao Cairen is a sensible person." Qiu Shanggong took the teacup and said such a sentence with an expressionless face that was neither sweet nor sour.

After drinking tea, the Yunyan Pavilion was busy.

Xiao Meiren quietly walked to the door of the east hall, listened carefully to the movement in the house, and couldn't hear anything, so she stomped her feet in a hurry. She wanted to see Qiu Shanggong too much, and even wanted Qiu Shanggong to bathe and change clothes for her, and finally send her to the emperor's dragon bed.

The rain and snow only mixed the bath water, and they didn't have to worry about the rest, led by Qiu Shanggong, and began to bathe Yao Chuxi.

said that it was a bath, but Yao Chuxi felt like he had lost a layer of skin.

I rubbed my whole body carefully twice back and forth before I stopped, and I changed three or four buckets of bathwater alone. I also prepared a bath bucket with various flower petals in it, and added some bath beans for bathing.

This bath bean is something that Yao Chu Xiguang has never heard of. It is said that mung beans are ground into powder, and precious spices and various herbs for skin care are added, which is difficult to find outside the palace.

After taking a bath, the naked Yao Chuxi was smeared with all kinds of fragrant powder and jade dew, and even she felt choked, and she had to hold back when she wanted to cough, which was really uncomfortable.

turned around and put on makeup and changed clothes, and the feeling of shame just now finally went down a little.

It is different from the usual makeup on the rain and snow. Qiu Shanggong first painted a thick layer of bead powder on Yao Chuxi's face, and then painted her eyebrows with the light gray eyebrows he brought, "Yao Cairen has a white complexion, and painting this light-colored eyebrow is also beautiful, unlike some talented people, who have a heavy complexion and can't line their dark blue eyebrows." ”

Hearing this, Yao Chuxi almost burst out laughing.

She knows the talented person Qiu Shanggong refers to, that is, Guo Cairen of Liu Lang Pavilion.

She has seen Guo Cairen a few times, to be honest, Guo Cairen is really not good-looking, dark brown skin, small eyes and thick lips, I heard that she has lived in the back garden for more than six years, and she only went to bed for the first time at the beginning of this year.

Qiu Shanggong was skillful, and he put on his makeup in a short time, and his palace maids brought a bronze mirror, and Yao Chuxi, who was in a daze, was in a daze for a while.

After putting on the makeup, Yao Chuxi changed into this year's new clothes, that is, the light cyan skirt embroidered with begonia flowers, and the upper body was matched with an emerald palace dress, which looked light and elegant overall.

"The new clothes of talented people are limited, if only there was an apricot-red dress." Qiu Shanggong said to himself.

Of course, she knew that the emperor liked women to wear apricot red.

Hearing this, Yao Chuxi was stunned for a long time, and remembered his apricot red embroidered white plum water wave skirt that Cao Meiren asked for.

If she had grace at that time, she must not have asked for things from Yunyan Pavilion casually, right?

After changing his clothes, Qiu Shanggong nodded with satisfaction, "Talented people are naturally beautiful, and it is even more pleasing to the eye after dressing up." ”

Yao Chuxi couldn't answer these words, and he couldn't laugh or not, so he had to nod awkwardly.

Hearing Jiang Liu's report that the Chunluan sedan chair stopped outside, and asked the little master how long it would take, Qiu Shanggong said that it would be fine, and gently helped Yao Chuxi out of the east hall step by step.

Xiao Meiren looked at Yao Chuxi's back at the door of the west hall, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart.

Cao Meicai, who was in Lanyue Pavilion on the side, heard that the Chunluan sedan chair stopped in front of the door of Yunyan Pavilion, and she didn't believe it for a while, so she quickly went out to look, thinking that the eunuch who carried the sedan chair had gone to the wrong door and came to Lanyue Pavilion to pick her up.

But when she was almost at the door, she remembered that Qiu Shanggong did not come to summon her to accompany her today, so why did she take the wrong one?

Seeing Yao Chuxi getting on the Chunluan sedan chair with the support of Qiu Shanggong, Cao Mei's popularity was itchy at all, but she was helpless.

Yao Chuxi found himself nervous when he got on the sedan chair in Chunluan, took two deep breaths, sat up straight, and listened to the words of Qiu Shanggong outside the sedan chair, "Talent people don't have to be nervous, there is nothing to be afraid of, when you get to the Taihe Palace, just listen to the emperor's words, the emperor will not answer if you don't ask, after all, there are many mistakes." ”

"Xie Shang Palace." When she spoke, she realized that her voice had changed tone because of nervousness.

Yao Chuxi simply closed his eyes, and his two fingers turned the handkerchief in his hand in a circle, and he didn't know how long it took, his palms were full of fine sweat, and the handkerchief was mostly wet.

"Cairen, it's here." Qiu Shanggong's voice sounded again, Yao Chuxi opened his eyes suddenly, and quickly picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, not because of the heat in summer, but because of nervousness. After getting off the sedan chair, the two palace maids under Qiu Shanggong hurriedly came over to support her, and thanks to them, otherwise Yao Chuxi's legs and feet at this time were soft and easy to fall to the ground.

Walking into the Taihe Palace, Yao Chuxi didn't dare to look up and look blindly, so he had to look down at the road under his feet, watching his skirt rise and fall with his steps.

It wasn't until she stepped through the third gate and the two palace maids beside her also left that Yao Chuxi realized where she should be.

"How old are you?"

"Back to the emperor, the concubine is seventeen years old this year."

"Hmm... Keep your head up. Adhering to Qiu Shanggong's teachings, everything is listened to the emperor, Yao Chuxi immediately raised his head obediently.

"Don't be afraid, come here." The emperor raised his hand lightly and motioned for her to step forward.

When he stood up, Yao Chuxi accidentally stepped on the skirt, but he didn't fall to the ground, but he felt embarrassed. Every step forward was like stepping on cotton, and step by step he walked to the square table in front of the emperor and knelt down again.

"Have you had dinner?" The emperor's tone was always cold, so that Yao Chuxi couldn't hear his joy and anger, for fear that he would do something to provoke him.

How does she answer this question? Could it be said that the concubine used half of her dinner, and then was withdrawn by Qiu Shanggong? Or did you answer that you hadn't eaten it? This is a deception!

"The concubine used some snacks before coming, but she wasn't hungry."

"I haven't had dinner yet, do you want to accompany me?"

"If the emperor doesn't dislike it, the concubines will naturally be happy."

Hearing this, the emperor showed a hint of a smile, although it was fleeting, but it was also noticed by Yao Chuxi.

Sure enough, Qiu Shanggong's words were answered. The emperor just likes to listen to him and follow his wishes, and he won't answer anything if he doesn't ask, otherwise he will be the one who will suffer a lot if he makes a lot of mistakes.

After a while, Pan Zhenan came over, followed by two eunuchs carrying a square plate, walked to the square table and knelt down, and put the dishes on the table one by one.

Then, Yao Chuxi watched Pan Zhenan pick up an empty plate and chopsticks, and was slightly shocked, now his father-in-law can eat at the same table with the emperor?

I saw Pan Zhenan first pick up a silver needle, tried poison on each dish, and then put some in each dish and put it on the empty plate, picked it up with chopsticks and tasted it, and felt that everything was okay before holding the empty plate down.
