The heavy rain fell intermittently for two days, and Ah Fu couldn't lift his spirits with the weather, he was sick, he was bored, and he didn't eat well. Xing'er thought she was a bitter summer, so she begged for medicinal tea to give her to drink, but it didn't improve.

When Ah Fu stood in front of Mrs. Yang, although he was in a strong spirit, he still looked much bleaker and silent than usual.

Look at the side, Jia Hui, Zimei who has never seen much in the West Courtyard, another Haifang who often serves by Mrs. Yang's side, and even the palace maid sent by Chen Huizhen and Mrs. Rui. The palace maids of the Taiping Palace are almost all here.

Mrs. Yang sat there and looked at them from beginning to end, and when she saw Ah Fu, her brows furrowed:

"What's wrong with you? Lethargy? ”

Ah Fu didn't want to hide what Mrs. Yang meant—some things shouldn't be said, but some things should be said. Especially when this kind of leader takes the initiative to ask, even if she can't make a good impression, she can't be misunderstood, right?

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang listened to what happened to Ah Fu, and really didn't blame her, and comforted her. Ah Fu noticed that there was a large open box on Mrs. Yang's desk, in which were placed several newly made silk palace flowers, such as oblique plums, heavy rhododendrons, and white magnolias, as well as drunken begonias and golden peonies, which were delicate and beautiful, and were clustered together, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Yang smiled and picked up the box: "You all come and pick a branch." ”

Jia Hui is a big palace maid here, faintly with the leader's frame, first said: "Mrs. usually sends, there are a lot of rewards, these flowers are all good, Mrs. keeps them for herself to wear, and it is good to give them to others." ”

"I can't wear these anymore. This is a new needle workshop sent today, come, one person pick a branch, are also dressed brighter, although the Taiping Hall is not as good as other places, but everyone one by one can not be sloppy all day long, let people look grizzled, right? ”

Everyone bowed their knees and thanked them, Jia Hui went up first, and she picked a fairy green orchid.

Mrs. Yang asked, "I chose this because it is because it is your name?" ”

Jia Hui nodded yes.

Zimei picked a wood hibiscus, and Mrs. Yang also asked, "Do you like hibiscus flowers?" ”

Zimei said lukewarmly: "Hibiscus has no fragrance, but it can be used in medicine, dyeing and weaving, and has many uses." ”

Mrs. Yang also smiled slightly and nodded.

Everyone else has picked it in the past. Chen Huizhen picked a gold-edged peony, which is the most colorful and rich one in the box.

When it was Ah Fu's turn, she looked down at the silk flowers that were still left in the box and picked a red pomegranate.

There is no reason, but the mood and weather are so gloomy and dreary, and when I see this bright red color, I feel that my mood seems to be a little better.

Mrs. Yang asked, "Why did you pick a pomegranate?" ”

Ah Fu pondered this reason, and he couldn't say this directly to Mrs. Yang.

"The flowers next to them are thanked when they bloom. When the pomegranate blossom falls, it bears fruit that can be tasted and enjoyed, not just a flower. ”

Ah Fu is not lying when she says this, she used to like pomegranate flowers and eat pomegranates.

Mrs. Yang pondered for a moment and smiled slightly: "That's right." ”

She took the flower, carefully examined Ah Fu's hair, put the pomegranate flower on her hairpin, and took a step back to see: "Yes, it's very suitable." Then he said to the others, "Put on all the flowers." I'm going to Defu Palace to say goodbye, so come along. ”

It was still raining heavily outside, and Ah Fu and Jia Hui held an umbrella, but when they arrived at Defu Palace, they still inevitably got wet shoes, and their feet were wet and cold, and they felt extremely uncomfortable.

Defu Palace, Ah Fu hasn't been here for a long time. The palace was silent and solemn in the rain, which was different from the scene in Ah Fu's memory.

Ah Fu and the others were waiting under the corridor, Jia Hui's expression seemed to be upset about something, Ah Fu glanced at her, and secretly wondered in his heart, he had never seen Jia Hui so uncertain, she had always been calm.

Ah Fu raised his hand and touched the pomegranate flower on his sideburns, what did Mrs. Yang bring them all to Defu Palace for? The weather is so bad again......

Hongjin came out of the hall and whispered to them, "The Queen Mother has summoned you." ”

Ah Fu was a little surprised, and several people quickly tidied up each other's clothes and skirts, and there was nothing untidy and improper, so they stood in a row one after another and slowly entered the hall.

The Queen Mother sat in the hall, and there was a beauty next to her, and Mrs. Yang stood aside.

Ah Fu didn't dare to look at it more, they bowed down together and greeted the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother sounded in a calm voice and seemed to be in a good mood: "Get up." ”

Ah Fu pressed his skirt, stood up, closed his hands and hung his head, his eyes fixed on his toes. The Queen Mother is a person who pays great attention to the rules, and when Ah Fu was first assigned to Defu Palace, Hongjin instructed her on some rules and regulations. Although it is all about the details, there are many things, and it is precisely the details that are the most important. Living in the harem, there is nothing important about it, everyone grinds together every day, don't you have to pay attention to details?

"Heads up."

The palace maids who were standing slowly raised their heads, but raising their heads did not mean raising their eyes.

"Well, you still know how to regulate people, like shallots."

Mrs. Yang replied with a smile in her voice: "The Queen Mother praised it falsely, but the slave maid did not dare to plunder the beauty of others." Here, there are those sent by Mrs. Xuan, He Meiren, and two are rewarded by the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother saw Zimei and nodded: "Zimei is in the Taiping Palace, is she still dedicated to her errands?" ”

"Miss Purple Rose is very cautious and dedicated."

"That's good."

Mrs. Yang picked up the box, and the Queen Mother took a peach: "Who else is in the past of Defu Palace?" I don't think so. ”

Mrs. Yang turned around and signaled, Ah Fu took half a step forward, and curtsied: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the slave maid is on an errand with Zimei from Defu Palace to Taiping Palace." ”

The Queen Mother smiled kindly, looked at her carefully from head to toe, and beckoned: "Come, come close." ”

Ah Fu took a few steps forward, and stopped when he was still three steps away from the Queen Mother.

"Come on again. I'm old, my eyesight is not very good, and I can't see clearly. ”

Ah Fu was apprehensive, and took two more steps forward, his head hanging down.

Mrs. Yang took Ah Fu's hand, and the Queen Mother took a closer look, then looked at her face, and her eyes fell on the silk flowers on her sideburns.

"It's ...... Pomegranates? ”

"Yes," said Mrs. Yang softly, "this child picked it himself, and said that the flowers are fruitful, and there are flowers and fruits." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Well, Pomegranate Baizi, it's good." Then he asked, "What is it called?" ”

Mrs. Yang replied for her: "Her name is Zhu Xi, but she is usually called by her nickname Ah Fu." He is innocent, can read and write, and usually serves very dedicatedly in front of His Royal Highness. ”

The Queen Mother seemed to like it more: "Well, the surname is good, the name is good, and the person is good." ”

Ah Fu was a little confused, and he couldn't show it. Mrs. Yang pressed lightly on her shoulder, and Ah Fu quickly knelt down.

"He is a good boy, and he will serve your Highness wholeheartedly in the future."

Ah Fu hurriedly said: "Thanks to the teachings of the Queen Mother, the slave maid will definitely abide by her duties and do her best in the future." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Yes, you have to do your best, and you have to do your best." ”
