Chapter Ninety-One: Donations Everywhere
"My little master?" Jiang Liu glanced back at his master, and then turned back to look at the little eunuch, "What's the matter?" ”
"Didn't Yao Meiren ask you to go to the dining room and ask for two dishes? Luo Meiren didn't know where to inquire about this, so she felt that it hurt her face, no, she also asked her boss to ask for food in the dining room, so she could talk about it for a while. ”
"That's it?" Jiang Liu was a little unconvinced, more helpless.
After the little eunuch left, Yao Chuxi asked Jiang Liu about this, and Jiang Liu answered truthfully.
Han Shanggong listened from the sidelines, and the corners of his mouth grinned, "This Luo beauty can really toss." ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Jiang Liu said with some disgust, "I'm embarrassed to go to the dining room, it had nothing to do with her, but now most of the back garden is known by her." ”
Yao Chuxi also smiled: "What's this?" Is there a first time or a second time? ”
"That's not for sure." Jiang Liu said.
Dinner served with steamed cheese with sugar, which was sweet and soft, as if it was cotton that would melt in the mouth. The crust is crispy, the crust is baked golden brown, and the center is darker.
Yuan Shaoyu also gave Yao Chuxi a crystal winter melon dumpling, with fish paste filling and three fresh fillings, the dumpling skin is a little transparent, I don't know if it's winter melon.
Yao Chuxi likes to eat fish, which is exactly what Yuan Shaoyu's appetite is, he makes fish when he has nothing to do, and he goes with fish when he has nothing to side with, Yao Chuxi likes it and can't find fault with it.
Half of the square table was set up for dinner, and Yao Chuxi used a small bowl to hold a few delicate and small dumplings, and the rest did not move.
After dinner, Yao Chuxi lay on the bed and read by the candlelight.
The emperor has taught her a lot of knowledge these days, there are poems and words, and now she understands that what she knows is really just a surface, as if she can't even catch up with one percent of the emperor.
I don't know when she has gotten used to having him, and all day except being with him is waiting for him to come, and she begins to crave him, care about him, and especially worry about his body.
The days are not long or short, but every time Yao Chuxi sees him, he has the feeling of seeing him for the first time, his heart is pounding, and his cheeks will be red at any time because of his words or actions.
She had only heard of the Taihe Hall before, and the first time she went was when she first entered the palace, when she was only in her early fifteens, and she didn't dare to look up when she was led in by her father-in-law, and she stared cautiously at the square green bricks in front of her feet.
It was only when she went to the Taihe Temple for the second time that she realized how magnificent this place was, especially the person inside, the one who made all the women fall in love with it.
From the first time she was cautious, uncomfortable, nervous and scared, to now she often sees each other, always talking and eating together, Yao Chuxi understands that she is sewing the other party into her life.
In the past six months, Yao Chuxi realized that he had changed, and he had changed a lot.
What she didn't know was that the emperor had also changed.
Although the birthday banquet is small, it can't be pulled down by comparing meals, so the three of them decided to go to the plum garden tomorrow to enjoy the plum blossoms.
Hu Cairen and Song Cairen have never been favored, and they haven't even seen the emperor's face a few times, and they have been with Yao Chuxi a few times in total.
Hu Cairen likes the emperor very much, but he is not favored, and his appearance cannot enter the eyes of the emperor, and his poetry and knowledge are in vain.
Song Cairen thinks more practically, he just wants to live a good life in peace and stability, and the rest is later. Which woman in the palace doesn't want to be noticed by the emperor? Song Cairen is no exception, but the emperor doesn't favor her, it's useless for her to hate her, and she may lose her current stable life because of this, so it's better to recognize the facts.
Among the three, Deng Cairen was fortunate to be summoned by the emperor, although only those two times were enough for her to show off.
On the way from Houyuan to Luomei Garden, her voice was the loudest, twittering, Song Cairen and Hu Cairen were helpless.
"Don't you know, the Taihe Hall is not magnificent, but the pillars in front of the door are inlaid with gold, think about how rich it is? How many people are enough to see each other in this life! Deng Cairen covered his mouth and smiled as he spoke, "If you are lucky enough to go once, you will know, so as not to think that I am a liar." ”
Song Cairen turned his head away and didn't look at her, and he didn't pick up the stubble, so he didn't want to pay attention to her at all.
It's Hu Cairen, who has nothing to say to her.
It's closer to the New Year, and the courtyard and houses are cleaned everywhere in the palace, and the work is done, and the supervision of the superintendent is not idle.
If you are really idle, I'm afraid it's not these three who have birthdays?
Han Shanggong and Ding Zhou managed Jiang Liuluoyu and the others, and began to get busy, cleaning up from the inside out.
Yao Chuxi was a little tired after getting up early, Xu didn't have a good rest last night, so she lay down for a while, and she didn't get up until breakfast arrived.
After breakfast, she went to the porch to bask in the sun for a while, watching them go about their work.
It's a really nice day, it's warm and sunny, it's not cold at all, and the wind only blows occasionally.
Yao Chuxi sat under the porch, and Luo Xia gently pinched her shoulder.
Luoyu took out everything that should be washed, and Ying'er and Liu'er held a basin and washed their clothes in the courtyard.
The hot water in the tea room is a little insufficient, and the charcoal stove in the firewood room is also used to supply hot water as much as possible.
The frost and snow wrung out the veil, and carefully wiped the lid of the box in the house and the pillars of the cloister outside the house.
Yao Chuxi tilted her head back as much as possible, so that she could be more comfortable.
"Why don't you go in there for a while?" Luoxia asked.
"No need." Yao Chuxi stretched out his hand and pinched his neck, "I'll bask in the sun for a while." ”
"Little master, this is a stiff neck, right?" Han Shanggong came over and instructed Luo Xia, "Go get a hot handkerchief, it will be better to put it on the neck of the little master, be careful not to let the handkerchief blow cold, change it frequently." ”
Luoxia agreed, and went into the house to get a handkerchief.
Han Shanggong walked behind his master and pressed the acupuncture points on her neck with his thumb.
"Have you studied?" Yao Chuxi squinted his eyes slightly, "It's very comfortable." ”
"The queen mother often falls on her neck, and the slave maid is with the Tai Medicine, which can be relieved."
"I don't know what's wrong, I'm just tired."
"It's the New Year's banquet in a while, you can rest more recently, it stands to reason that the concubines who are beautiful and above will be there, and you can't talk about it."
"I know."
The New Year's banquet could have not been went, what Han Shanggong said Yao Chuxi understood, and she agreed more. Now she is really piercing the eyes of others, only afraid that the people who hate her will grab a handful, waiting for an opportunity to drag her down and stomp on her feet, the New Year's banquet is a good opportunity, if she doesn't go, those individuals will be able to say something pampered and arrogant immediately, one or two people say not tight, I am afraid that many people will hear it and mistakenly think it is true, even if the emperor is biased, he can't do it.
The New Year's banquet is in front of him, whether it is counted as catching ducks on the shelves or not, Yao Chuxi has to go.
Han Shanggong pressed Yao Chuxi, and after that, he was relieved a lot, and Yao Chuxi stood up and walked around the courtyard.
There is a fresh scent of soaphorn in the courtyard, which should have been washed by the Huanyi Bureau, but Han Shanggong didn't dare to use the palace people there, in case anyone moved some hands and feet to go in when washing clothes, who could prevent it?
At this moment, Yingxue Pavilion is happy, laughing and playing as if it is not working on an errand, but more like living. Ying'er handed the washed clothes to Xiao Yongzi, who shook vigorously and hung them on the clothesline, and they were full after a while.
Here, even the most stressed people will feel a little lighter.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why the emperor likes to come.
Concubine De sent someone to come and said that the waste products were placed everywhere during the New Year's Festival, and they were sent to the outside of the palace to help the people after the New Year, and Yao Chuxi donated a lot.
Seeing Concubine De doing good deeds, it should be praise and help, but there are many things for women, and many people pour dirty water on Concubine De, saying that she pretends to be a good person to gain favor, just to make the emperor happy.
Fortunately, Concubine De didn't listen to these gossip.
Yao Chuxi let Luoyu turn out the handkerchief that had never been used at the bottom of the box, and Guan Shanggong took it one by one every time he came, and he didn't bring a duplicate one a day.
It's too extravagant.
Those handkerchiefs and old clothes, I picked some that ordinary people could wear and use, and gave them away.
There was no adulteration at all, three large wooden boxes were empty, and even hairpins and silk flowers were missing.
The good things in the palace can't be sent out of the palace casually, so Yao Chuxi put the silk flower hairpin she wore when she first entered the palace, as well as the jewelry she didn't like to wear when it rained and snowed, and handed it to the eunuch.
Listening to what the eunuch said, I had just been to Cao Meiren in Lanyue Pavilion, and after waiting for a long time, I only took out a small cloth bag, except for two handkerchiefs, there was only one cloth dress left, it didn't seem that Cao Meiren was wearing it, and I thought it should be the bed clothes that the palace maid usually wears.
Besides, Luo Meiren, she said directly, who has who donates, why didn't anyone donate to me? With that, he closed the door.
Xia Cairen of Qiuyun Pavilion was generous, and gave two outdated hairpins and bracelets, as well as half a frame of black charcoal.
The little eunuch thought that it was really Xia Cairen's generosity, and when he came out of Qiuyun Pavilion, he found that the black charcoal was all wet, and it should not be donated when it was not needed.
Except for Yao Chuxi, the rest are Guishuang Pavilion and Sanssouci Pavilion who donated more. Xiao Meiren's objects are not many, most of them are leftovers from the previous Zhaorong, what kind of pendant peace charm or something, in addition to two old clothes, there are three pieces of fabric, although the material is not too good, but it is also a part of her heart, compared with the cloth worn by the common people, it is also valuable.
Meng Cairen, who lives with Xiao Meiren, has a very tight life, and he has already been favored, and was promoted from a girl to a talented person by the emperor, but the emperor has never been to her again, and he didn't even bring good things to her with the inner palace supervisor.
This time, she took some fried melon seeds, a whole bag, a few old clothes and two pairs of old shoes, one pair each in summer and winter, and a few pairs of worn old cotton socks.
Today is Laba Festival, I wish you all a happy Laba~
