Chapter 13 Talents

Lingxi stood silently in the corner, not understanding what Green Jade meant by calling her here.

Two quarters of an hour later, the things in the side room were all cleaned up, and Green Jade took Lingxi's hand and sat down on the small stool in the side room.

The sensible little palace maid withdrew early, leaving only two people, Green Jade and Lingxi.

Green Jade took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and took out a plain silver from the handkerchief, and a pearl flower was decorated in the middle. The style is simple, and even the cloth on the heads of other palace maids is not as good as making beads, but it is also just right to make the whole pearl extraordinary.

Lingxi was shocked in her heart, that pearl was given to her by Emperor Yonghe, and asked her to give it to jasper and green jade.

Green Jade put the bead hairpin on Lingxi's bun, and said slowly, "You are young and comb your double bun, this bead flower is exactly a pair." You're too careful, and that's good, it's not good. It will make other palace people look down on you......"

Green Jade grabbed Lingxi's hand and said a lot, which was nothing more than some truths about being a person and doing things in the palace. It's good to be careful everywhere, but you must also be able to bend and stretch, and blindly retreating will only force yourself to the point of being trampled on.

Lingxi listened quietly, his eyes confused and innocent. She didn't understand how Green Jade, who had always been cautious and careful, could say such a thing to her today.

Until Xue'er ran in from the outside and said to Lu Yufu, "The Queen Mother has returned to the palace." Only then did the green jade let go of Lingxi's hand and called up the little palace maids who were waiting outside, ready to serve the refreshments that would be served later.

When making tea, Green Jade whispered to Lingxi, "The Queen Mother likes flower tea, and the flower tea from this water is fragrant, so you should put some pine needles in it to taste." ”

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist up and down, and the hot water first fell into a small blue and white cup, whirling a little foam.

The green jade asked Lingxi to put his hand on the cup, and the hot cup burned Lingxi's fingertips, and finally went numb.

"Remember the temperature, not too high nor too low."

Seeing Lingxi's obedient nod, Luyu took out the best flower tea and pine needles again, and told Lingxi what to pay attention to while making tea.

When a pot of fragrant flower tea was brewed, Empress Dowager Cui happened to return to Changle Palace.

Green Jade handed the blue and white tea cup that had poured the flower tea to Lingxi's hand, and her hand trembled slightly, "Ling'er, you can go and serve tea today, I, I'm a little uncomfortable." ”

Lingxi raised his eyes to look at the green jade, only to see that the green jade's eyes were dead, and he couldn't see a little breath of life.

No matter how stupid Lingxi is, he can see that the green jade must have encountered something that he can't get over. But what is the hurdle, she can't ask. One is that Green Jade won't speak, and the other is that she can't do anything when she asks.

From that day on, Lingxi followed Green Jade to learn to serve tea. This seriously caused Ziyu's dissatisfaction, because the errand was hers.

But the grade of green jade is higher than that of purple jade, and Lingxi is very likable in front of the queen mother, Father-in-law Qian opens one eye and closes one eye, and purple jade can only break his teeth and fall into his stomach. I hated Lingxi very much in my heart, but I also had to say Ling'er sister kindly on my face.

The Dragon Boat Festival is getting closer and closer, and the palace is getting busier and busier, and the palace people are eager to grow three heads and six arms.

In addition to guiding Lingxi to do things in the middle room, Green Jade almost no longer goes in front of Empress Dowager Cui.

Jasper looked at the green jade with a little more smugness in her eyes, and two points of arrogance. When he looked at Lingxi, he became three points nervous and four points wary.

Lingxi served the tea of the Empress Dowager Cui, and she couldn't care about Brother Wren anymore. Fortunately, as long as the wren brother eats and drinks well, he can't have anything to worry about.

On the fifth day of the Dragon Boat Festival in the first month of May, the Empress Dowager Cui got up early in the morning and dressed up, and a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin with a tassel of Dongzhu was in the middle of the bun, which was gorgeous and luxurious.

On this day, the palace people are also dressed brightly. In addition to the hosta given by the Queen Mother, Jasper's hair bun also wore two beaded flowers with novel styles.

Green jade is rare to overwhelm jasper in dress, and the ingenious plum blossom bead hairpin is over the bun, which is very good-looking. and a pair of broken jade earrings that I don't know which palace lady rewarded, which set off the dexterity of the whole person.

When the queen and the concubines of the palace had not yet come to ask for peace, the Empress Dowager Cui's eyes lit up and praised, "Yo, look, our green jade is really clever to dress up today." Although this pearl flower is not inlaid with gold and jade, it can feel comfortable at a glance. ”

The corners of the green jade mouth smiled, and the ink-like eyes glanced at the Empress Dowager Cui shyly, and said, "The slave and maid thank the Empress Dowager for her praise." ”

The heart of Lingxi, who was following the green jade and holding the saucer, shook violently. In the past, Empress Dowager Cui praised the green jade, and the green jade would only be frightened, but today, she took the praise.

Jasper stood behind Empress Dowager Cui and looked at Green Jade's face pale.

In the eighteenth year of Yonghe, the Dragon Boat Festival was a family banquet in the palace. The personal palace maid beside Empress Dowager Cui accidentally knocked over the tea next to Emperor Yonghe's dragon chair.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the eighteenth year of Yonghe, there is no green jade in the palace, only the new favorite of Emperor Yonghe, who is the fifth plum talent who lives in Qingle Palace and listens to the rain pavilion.

Listening to the rain pavilion, Mei Cairen's jade-like fingers touched his flower-like beauty in the water mirror.

If you don't fight for it, you will always be trampled on by others.

Lingxi jumped from a craftsman who fed birds to a second-class palace maid beside the Empress Dowager Cui, which included the promotion of the rich father-in-law, the dredging of Mei Cairen before leaving, and of course, the approval of the Empress Dowager Cui herself.

Lingxi has always wondered why she is just a small, insignificant palace maid, why Mei Cairen would look up to her so highly, so that she opened up all the roads before leaving.

But these words, she didn't have a chance to ask Mei Cairen clearly.

In addition to the fact that the second-class palace maid is more beautiful than the little palace maid and has more moon profits than the little palace maid, there is also an advantage that as long as you move your mouth, there will naturally be a little palace maid to do it.

Lingxi is young, and he belongs to the airborne, so he naturally does not dare to be respected.

She has a kind and humble attitude, and only hopes that everyone will be kind and kind. But those palace maids who entered the Yongshou Palace earlier than her didn't think so, Xu was bold, Xu was provoked, and even threw stumbling blocks at Lingxi in everything.

One day, the Empress Dowager Cui drove back to the palace and saw people at the gate of the palace. But when Lingxi picked up the teapot, he found that the water was warm.

Warm water can't make tea, and a person understands this truth.

This kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice, in the past, Lingxi still wanted to endure, but even if it was a clay person, she had a three-point earthy atmosphere, not to mention that she was a murderer in her previous life?

Lingxi slammed the copper kettle carved with auspicious patterns onto the pear wood table, turned back to Xue'er, who was in charge of boiling water, and said, "Didn't I ask you to put the water on the hearth to warm it, why did it only take a quarter of an hour to get cold?" ”

Xue'er seemed to respectfully give Lingxi a blessing, and replied, "If you return to Ling'er's girl, the slave maid is placed on the stove, but the hearth also has cold times. ”

"Aren't you going to watch the stove and keep it from going out?" Lingxi was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, when the green jade was there before, how could such a thing have happened? This is completely because she is young and has a good temperament, and it is clear that she is embarrassed.

Xue'er lowered her head and muttered, "You asked me to put it on the stove to warm it, and you didn't say that you watched the stove not go out......"

Lingxi smiled angrily, "I haven't let you eat yet, and I haven't seen you starve to death!" ”

Xue'er also knew that she was at a loss, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.

As soon as Lingxi turned around, he saw that two of the four pastries that should have been served to Empress Dowager Cui were the same, and pointed to Xin'er, who was in charge of this matter, and said, "It can be seen that the imperial dining room is getting more and more confused!" Even the pastries of our Yongshou Palace dare to fool around, so I'll go back to my father-in-law to see which dog slave is on errand! ”

Xin'er is already timid, and it was all Jasper's idea to do this. In the past, although they were also angry when they did this, they all resisted in the end. Today, somehow, Lingxi actually persevered.

Xin'er was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a thud, and said tremblingly, "Miss Ling'er, don't be angry, it must have been sent by mistake, the slave and maid will be exchanged, this will be exchanged!" ”

Ling's teeth creaked, and he pointed at Xin'er's brain and said, "Do you think you're embarrassing me?" If the Queen Mother traces it down, all of you will have to move one by one! In this Yongshou Palace, you all came earlier than me, I respect you sister, but if you continue to fool around like this, don't blame me for returning to the Queen Mother and sending you all to the violent room! ”

Xin'er was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything else, so she immediately stood up and ran outside.

Cher stood still, as if she had taken root.

Lingxi was furious, "Why are you still stunned? If you don't bring boiling water now, won't it be possible to let the Queen Mother chew the tea? ”

On this day, the tea was served half an hour later than usual, although the Empress Dowager Cui didn't say anything, Biyu whispered behind her, "I'm getting lazier, I can't do this little thing well!" ”

Lingxi knelt down to ask the Empress Dowager Cui for her guilt, hating Jasper to death in her heart. If it weren't for Jasper behind her back, how could those little palace maids embarrass her?

Empress Dowager Cui didn't blame Lingxi, but Lingxi was still young and she retreated.

The spirit rhino who returned to the middle room was trembling with anger, she wanted to say hello, hello, hello, everyone, but she didn't expect that someone would keep their eyes on her.

Lingxi glanced at Xue'er, who was carrying a large copper kettle to fill the small pot with water, and the anger in his heart did not come to a place.

Look at Ziyu on her face to be respectful to herself, but there is hostility in her eyes......

Lingxi clenched the handkerchief in his hand. It seems that if you want to live peacefully in this palace until you leave the palace, it is not enough to blindly endure it.
