Chapter 3: Before Bedtime
Pan Zhenan didn't wait for her to be in a daze, and followed the rain into the house.
"Congratulations to Yao Cairen." As soon as he saw Yao Chuxi, Pan Zhenan immediately made a gesture.
"What do you mean?"
At this time, Yao Chuxi was in a state of confusion, and he didn't even know the identity of the eunuch standing in front of him, but looking at his dress, he shouldn't be an ordinary person.
"Congratulations to the servant, the emperor specially named you to accompany you today."
Hearing this, Yao Chuxi was completely stunned, and looked at Pan Zhenan with straight eyes, as if he didn't believe it.
"Little master?" Luoxue reminded in a whisper on the side, Yao Chuxi immediately came back to his senses, bowed slightly and said, "I'm tired of Father-in-law Pan's personal run." ”
This person's dress looks like a father-in-law, but it is different from ordinary fathers-in-law, just like the patterns on this palace dress, she has never seen it once. It is the one who came to pass the bed in person, it must have something to do with the emperor, it will not be Ji Linghai and the Shang Palace of the Prison Supervisor, because she knows what they look like, so she dares to conclude that this person is Pan Zhen'an, the father-in-law of the emperor's side.
The rain and snow on the side invariably pinched the handkerchief, trying to control it not to make a sound, but although the face was calm, the calves twitched lightly because they were too excited, and those who paid attention could see it at a glance. This day is two years, and they know the taste best.
"The servant has passed the emperor's will, and later there will be someone from the dormitory to serve the talent to bathe and change clothes, and ask the talent to prepare."
Seeing that Pan Zhenan had the intention of leaving, the rain was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, I didn't know whether it was better to stuff silver or not, and wanted to keep Pan Zhenan to drink tea but was worried that the tea in Yunyan Pavilion would not get into his eyes, so he was really anxious.
"My father-in-law lowered his body and drove the Yunyan Pavilion, I don't have anything to do, if my father-in-law doesn't dislike it, stay and have a cup of tea together." didn't wait for the rain to make a sound, Yao Chuxi left Pan Zhenan in a voice.
What I said just now really made Luoyu unable to find fault at all, and he was modest and respectful, not so hostile that people were afraid that everyone who heard it would be embarrassed to pull out their legs and leave.
It's not that Luo Yu is reluctant to pay for Pan Zhen'an, but he is afraid that his eyelids are high, and he can't look down on those broken silver, and he is afraid that he will think that his master is a person with bad intentions, and it will be really bad when the time comes.
"Look at what the talented man said, the talented man is willing to reward the slave for a cup of tea, which is already giving the slave face."
Listen, what he said is more modest and respectful than the words of his own master, and it is even more impossible to find fault with it.
After drinking tea, Pan Zhenan couldn't stay any longer, thanked Yao Chuxi and left.
Puff puff, rain and snow both knelt on the ground, "Slaves and maids say hello to the little master!" The good days of the little lord are coming! ”
Yao Chuxi didn't know what he felt in his heart, he was a little happy and a little confused, as if he had knocked over the seasoning jar. It stands to reason that she should be happy, but at this juncture, she can't be happy.
"Little master? Little Lord? ”
Yao Chuxi suddenly woke up and stretched out his hand to help the two of them up.
In this palace, she had seen too many women who had served once and had never been summoned again, and she was afraid that she would become like that.
and Xiao Meiren next door. At first, Yao Chuxi just felt that she was estranged, but now she feels pitiful. Presumably she also really loves the emperor, but because she made a mistake, she was rejected by the emperor and never summoned again.
How can a person live in the world without any mistakes? Yao Chuxi only felt nervous when he thought of this, worried that he would not be favored and worried that he would be favored. is afraid of making mistakes, afraid that the palace concubines will regard her as a thorn in the side, unfavored and unwilling, afraid that she can only live a lonely life.
She's different from ordinary women. A woman outside the palace can have true love and be happy with the person she loves, but how can she be happy with a man with three thousand beauties in the harem? It's not plausible to think about.
But no matter what she thought, she was going to bed tonight.
Yuan Shaoyu, the head of the dining room, heard that the emperor had summoned Yao Cairen to accompany him tonight, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, not to mention that the main dish made the largest and fattest fish, but also made four side dishes, two dim sum, and even a few pieces of rock sugar in the mung bean soup that he wants to drink every day at noon.
You must know that his dining room has never put such a talented person without favor and no place in his eyes before, but now it is different from the past, he did not form a good fate earlier, so he had to get on the sedan chair and pierce his ears and eyes, and hurry up to make something good for Yao Cairen, so as to prevent Yao Cairen from going to the dragon bed to blow the pillow wind to the emperor.
The master's good day is coming, Jiang Liu is really happy, he went back to the room and took out the new shoes that he had been reluctant to put on the box, and said that he couldn't wear the old shoes, for fear of stepping on the luck of the little master.
On the way to the dining room, he also straightened his back, not that he deliberately took prestige, but he didn't want to lose the little master's people.
Yuan Shaoyu saw Jiang Liu coming, so he hurriedly walked over and gave Jiang Liu a jump. Seeing him so attentive for the first time in two years, it's no wonder that everyone wants to be favored, and now they have tasted the sweetness without going to accompany the driver, but I'm afraid that the sweeter ones will be behind!
These are just thinking about it, Jiang Liu didn't dare to offend people blindly, Yuan Shaoyu didn't dare to take it seriously when he was polite to him, he was still low, and he hurried away after receiving lunch.
Today's lunch was not good, and Jiang Liuyi, who was on the plates, couldn't take it, so Yuan Shaoyu called his apprentice to send him to Yunyan Pavilion with him.
"Sixth Brother Jiang, Yao Cairen is easy to talk to?"
"The little master has a good temperament."
"What do Yao Cairen like to eat? When I go back, I'll ask the master to make a few dishes and send them to Yunyan Pavilion? ”
"The little master doesn't pick his mouth."
"It's been a long time since the master of the Houyuan has been favored, if Yao Cairen is favored this time, then the Houyuan can also follow the majesty, right?"
Jiang Liu can answer a few words on the side, but this is different.
Other masters go to accompany them but don't get any favors, what do you do to his master? Isn't this a curse on his master? If the master is favored, then the thoughtful and jealous women in the back garden must not eat the master alive? Besides, when others were favored, they didn't see his master follow him, didn't they?
And the person who had never spoken to him on weekdays was now screaming one brother after another, which inevitably made Jiang Liu feel a little embarrassed.
Calculate carefully, Jiang Liu is one year younger than him.
Lunch was served one by one, and I saw Yao Chuxi's brows wrinkling deeper and deeper.
Is this the benefit of being favored?
Gently picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in your mouth as if chewing wax, but it didn't taste anything. I don't know what's going on, but she was very uncomfortable eating this lunch.
"Little master, you taste this mung bean soup."
"Hmm." Yao Chuxi took the bowl handed by Luoxue and took a sip, "Why is today's mung bean soup so sweet?" Got a lot cooler? ”
"The chief manager of the dining room Yuan specially honors the little master."
After listening to Luoxue, Yao Chuxi stared at the mung bean soup for a while, and silently put it back on the table.
It's not that she doesn't understand the rules of high and low in this palace, it's just that she is deeply immersed in it at this time and feels a little difficult to adapt.
After lunch, a rare guest came.
said that it was a rare guest, but it was just Xiao Meiren who had never been to her room.
Entering the east hall, Xiao Meiren first looked at the furnishings in the room, and then reached out and touched the vase on the counter, as if she was very curious about this place.
The flower was picked by Yao Chuxi in the imperial garden yesterday evening, and it was good to feed it by pouring some water into a white porcelain bottle.
She didn't like the smell of incense in the woman's room, and she felt choking for no reason, but it was better to smell the floral and fruity fragrance.
"Good afternoon, Sister Xiao." Yao Chuxi heard that Xiao Meiren was coming, even if she didn't want to deal with it, she had to deal with it, and walked out under the rain and snow.
Xiao Meiren first looked at the furnishings in the room, then looked at Yao Chuxi, and slowed down for a while before saying, "Sister Yao is polite." ”
How to describe Yao Chuxi? Xiao Meiren herself didn't know, she thought about it for a long time and only came up with two words that were pleasing to the eye, and then looked at it carefully and felt that it was just more attractive, anyway, it was not particularly beautiful.
When she came out to bask in the sun at noon, she was still wearing a light orange skirt made last summer, and after lunch, she changed into a pink embroidered Baishui skirt, but the blue and white palace dress on the upper body was not changed.
Xiao Meiren muttered in her heart, she was really an unconscious master.
"My sister goes to accompany her at night, can she be nervous?"
"Fortunately, Sister Lao is worried."
This answer made Xiao Meiren speechless, and the words she was going to say were swallowed back into her stomach.
"The emperor is still quite gentle, my sister doesn't have to be afraid."
"Sister Xie reminded."
After saying a few words, there was no chatter, Xiao Meiren felt that she couldn't just leave, and the purpose of her coming had not been achieved!
"I think my sister and I have lived in this Yunyan Pavilion for almost a year, and we still have some feelings in our hearts, right?"
"That's what my sister said." Yao Chuxi was respectful and polite, and nodded slightly.
The falling snow on the side was so angry that she couldn't do it, she grabbed the handkerchief tightly, and the rain stared at her tightly, afraid that if she didn't look at her, she would open the door and throw Xiao Meiren out.
"My sister is beautiful, and I can't compare to my sister." Xiao Meiren's words were full of temptation.
"My sister is also beautiful, and my sister is so admirable."
"In that case, my sister will mention my sister to the emperor on the dragon bed tonight? In the future, when my sister is in trouble, I will do my best as an older sister. ”
What are these words? Falling rain also wants to throw her out with falling snow at this time.
This is obviously trying to use the master's mouth to win over himself.
But she didn't want to think about it, why was she abolished as a beauty? Never been summoned by the emperor again? Even the flower-viewing banquet where all the concubines were present was not allowed to go?
Mention her on the dragon's bed? The emperor was so angry that he couldn't drag Yao Chuxi out!
I don't know what her head thinks about in a day.
"My sister will try her best to do what my sister said, but if you can't do it, please don't blame my sister."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Meiren would not hate her in the future.
