Chapter 16: Locust Honey
"Then what did the emperor say?" Yao Chuxi asked.
"The emperor didn't say anything, he just stopped summoning me, and there was no movement for several months, and then the queen directly made me a beauty."
"But I don't think it's serious, so there's no need for it, right?"
"It's really not serious, but the bluestone golden hosta was given to the queen by the emperor, and the queen wants to give it to me, is it a big crime to be broken by me? The queen is also really ruthless, and she can even give up this hairpin in order to get rid of me. ”
Yao Chuxi fell silent and did not respond to Xiao Meiren's words.
"What does my sister think?"
"I..." Yao Chuxi paused, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "I'm just a little person in the back garden, it's not worth the queen's mother's trouble to get rid of it, it should be spared." ”
"Sister, you're still young." Xiao Meiren smiled helplessly: "Can you stay in the back garden for the rest of your life?" Can't the queen put her hand in the back garden? Have you ever thought about this? ”
Yao Chuxi couldn't speak.
Xiao Meiren is right.
Sending Xiao Meiren away, Yao Chuxi was worried all afternoon, and Luo Xue watched from the side and thought that Xiao Meiren had just said something unpleasant.
"Did Xiao Meiren say something that disturbed the little master? The slave knows when she looks like that she can't say good things! ”
The snow just fell and was not in the house, and I didn't hear what Xiao Meiren said.
Falling frost looked at the side, but the falling snow still didn't seem to be visible, and still said it sentence after sentence.
Still Luoyu came over and scolded her, and handed a few dirty handkerchiefs to Luoxue and asked her to find someone to wash, so that she couldn't hear her voice.
Luoxue took the handkerchief to the lower house, and found Ling'er to let her wash it, Ling'er also happily took the errand, turned around and asked, "Sister Luoxue, are these all the little master's handkerchiefs?" ”
"Of course, be careful, don't wash it, especially the one embroidered with lotus flowers and this embroidered butterfly, which are the little master's favorites."
"Sister Luoxue really understands the little master, so what else does the little master like?"
The falling snow is real, but it doesn't mean that she is stupid, doesn't this ask her to think that she is real?
"Why are you asking about this? Be your own errand, do your own work, and if you talk more, I will go back to the rain, and let her find Mr. Ji to clean you up. ”
Ling'er touched her nose with ash, and she didn't dare to continue, so she washed her veil with a basin of water.
While washing, he thought that the master and the palace maid were really different, and even the pattern on the veil said.
The master's handkerchief is embroidered with flowers, butterflies, mandarin ducks, and bamboo forests, but there are only a few patterns on his handkerchief, and other palace maids can embroider something by themselves with their own needles and threads, but she has been rough since she was a child, and she can't do meticulous things.
Besides, one or two of the palace maid's handkerchief can be used for a year, but the handkerchief used by the master is basically no longer used after two times of water, where can it be the same as the palace maid?
Who is the best to let the family be reincarnated? There is a family stronger than her, not to mention, born so beautiful, can you live worse than her? That's unreasonable.
Ling'er is not like other palace maids, who are worried about getting the emperor's attention and getting the emperor's favor. She just wants to live a stable life in the palace, strive to save more money, and live a good life on the day she is released from the palace in the future.
The last time Luoxue handed her the handkerchief to wash, she quietly took out a very inconspicuous white plum handkerchief and hid it in her pillow core, planning to save some good things little by little like this, and use them when she leaves the palace.
She has to plan well for her future, she will be twenty-five in two years, and it's time to leave the palace.
Although she is called Sister Luoxue, she is actually more than three or four years older than Luoxue, but she has not been greedy for a good master, and she has no chance of getting ahead, so she has been doing odd jobs.
This time, she secretly pulled out a purple silk embroidered apricot blossom handkerchief, looked around to see that there was no one, and quickly stuffed it into her sleeve, anyway, the master is favored now, there are many things in this matter, and Mr. Ji is taking them to Yunyan Pavilion one by one, and he can't detect one or two missing.
Ling'er's little abacus in her heart was really crackling.
When Jiang Liu went to the dining room to pass the dinner, he met two eunuchs who usually liked to chat with him on the way. Those two eunuchs are under the hands of the cultivators of the Mincui Pavilion, and they can often be encountered on the way to the dining room, and the cultivators of their family are always worried about their masters, and even the eunuchs under their subordinates are also learning to tie up people.
If you want to talk about stammering people, eunuchs may be born with it.
Xiucai and Yao Chuxi entered the palace together, and now she has not slept yet, so she must be in a hurry, so that every time she goes to Yunyan Pavilion, she talks about the love of taking a carriage when she entered the palace together in the past, and asks the emperor inside and out.
Later, after dinner, Yao Chuxi had nothing to do and chatted with Jiang Liu, and Jiang Liu knew that the cultivator was good at home, but he came in a carriage alone, and he said that he was unwilling to put down his body and squeeze with these people, and stuffed two bags of silver into the father-in-law who was in charge of them before he was reluctantly arranged into another carriage.
In this case, can two different carriages still lift the curtain and speak? I must have never said anything, and I may not even see each other from time to time, where does the affection come from?
To say that this cultivator is not very smart, if he lets others go, how can he mention this kind of thing that oppresses the other party to block his heart? But she didn't take it seriously, thinking that Yao Chuxi had forgotten, but she didn't know if she was stupid.
These two eunuchs usually see Jiang Liu, one Jiang brother and one sixth brother have a sweet mouth, and sometimes they take out a small handful of hidden melon seeds from their sleeves and stuff them into Jiang Liu's hands, and the smile on their faces is like writing two words.
But looking at the two of them today, it is obvious that they are not as attentive as before, although they took the initiative to call the sixth brother, they are not enthusiastic.
Eunuchs are really rootless things.
Jiang Liu pondered to himself and continued to walk towards the dining room.
Yuan Shaoyu is still the same, smiling all day long, not pleasing but much better than those who stammer.
"What does Yao Cairen want to use?"
"Manager Yuan looks at it, I heard that there is some new honey in the dining room, and our family said that they want to drink some honey water, so I bothered Manager Yuan."
"That's nature." Yuan Shaoyu responded, turned around and arranged for the apprentice to get honey water.
After a while, the apprentice came over and said a few words in a low voice, as if he deliberately didn't let Jiang Liu listen. Yuan Shaoyu listened to it, maybe felt a little difficult, and said to Jiang Liu apologetically, "It's really unfortunate, those locust honey trees were taken away by someone from Fengluan Palace, saying that they were going to make up for the queen's mother, what else does Yao Cairen want to use?" ”
Jiang Liu is now only afraid that he is going to scold the queen a thousand times, but he can't show anger on his face, "Since this is the case, I can't blame you, our family likes that red plum pearl fragrance, let's use that today." ”
Yuan Shaoyu responded again, probably because he was afraid that this Yao Cairen would be angry, so he deliberately added two more snacks to the food box.
One is a white milk cake, which is soft and delicious when you bite into it, full of milky aroma. One is a green green bean ball, the taste of tea fragrant beans is particularly strong, and it is also Yao Chuxi's favorite dim sum.
As soon as Yao Chuxi saw this snack, he immediately understood Yuan Shaoyu's intentions.
"This canteen is quite good at cooking, and knows how to make some snacks." Luo Xue said as she put the dishes on the table one by one.
"What's the use of dim sum? The little master has an uncomfortable throat, where can he eat this kind of sweet? Falling Frost answered.
may be the relationship between the beginning of autumn, Yao Chuxi always feels uncomfortable in his throat, and he is worried about getting some honey water, who knows that the queen will go?
"Why don't you go and talk to Manager Ji and ask him to help find a doctor?" Luoyu asked Yao Chuxi.
"No need, this is not a disease, it's just that my throat is a little itchy in autumn, so why bother people to visit."
Luo Yu didn't speak again, but his heart was like a mirror.
The master must be very uncomfortable, but he is afraid of trouble, and he is even more afraid that the emperor will know about it.
Now that the emperor is bent on the queen, where can he think of the people in the Yunyan Pavilion who are uncomfortable?
It doesn't matter if there is no honey, the rain boiled some boiling water, scalded a duck pear, chopped it into minced pieces, and soaked it in water for Yao Chuxi to drink.
This is the way her mother taught her. There are many children in the family, and everyone can't take care of it, and the one who was the sister of the rain carried this burden until she entered the palace at the age of twelve, and she didn't know what happened to her younger brothers and sisters.
Yali pears clear the fire and moisten the throat, and it is better to cure this small problem.
When she first arrived at Yunyan Pavilion to serve, Luoyu inquired about Luoxue's family. Luoxue has an elder brother above and a younger brother below, and the matter of these two men marrying wives and building a house is pressed on Luoxue, otherwise she would never want to enter the palace according to her words.
A woman is worthless when she is born, and Luoxue's father and mother plan to take advantage of her young age to send her to the palace as a few years of errand, and then let her go to her home when she is twenty-five years old, and finally make a comparison of the bride price, which is not a vain birth of her.
Listening to Luoxue say that her original name was Xiaolian, her brother's name was Yaolin, and her younger brother's name was Yaohui, you can tell who is favored at home from the name, not to mention that the brothers have not worked since they were children, and they have nothing to do except bully Luoxue.
A few years ago, her father and mother gave all the savings they had saved for a lifetime to her eldest brother Yaolin to invite Mr. to a private school, but he didn't get into the fame, but because he didn't want to make progress, Mr. criticized two sentences and flipped people's tables and smashed other people's private schools, and finally sold Luoxue into the palace to have the money to fill this hole.
Luoyu was really angry after hearing what she said, but seeing that she looked like she was used to it and didn't care, in addition to being distressed or distressed. She asked Luo Xue if she wanted to go out of the palace and go home, Luo Xue shook her head without thinking about it, saying that she had no home, her family was reserved for her brother and brother, and she had to be married out of the palace, so it was better to stay in Yunyan Pavilion comfortably.
