121. Chess mini-game
The meals made by Xiaorou were really delicious, there were six dishes in total, and Jiang Xinyu ate almost half of each of them. When she was in Zhuo's house before, Jiang Xinyu often asked Xiaorou to do it for her, and it is strange to say that this ancient woman has a hand! Although Ziyu is only eighteen years old, she can do everything, and so is Xiaorou, who is not very old, but she makes good dishes, and she only knows how to eat ready-made. But fortunately, I used to be a young lady and is now a mother, otherwise I would have starved to death if I was an ordinary little girl. Jiang Xinyu thought to herself.
After dinner, Jiang Xinyu was full of food, so she asked Xiaorou to bring some tea.
After sitting in the house for a while, Jiang Xinyu felt bored to death, so she called Xiaorou, and the two of them talked about the things they had done in the Zhuo family before.
"Miss, do you remember? In the past, you loved the braised fish I made," Xiaorou said.
"Silly girl, of course Bengong remembers, you make it so delicious, how can Bengong forget! You've been studying for me for a while! Jiang Xinyu smiled.
"yes. In the past, when the eldest lady was not good to Miss, seeing that Miss was wronged, Xiaorou felt uncomfortable, and she felt very sorry for Miss. ”
"Well, these things are over, so let's not mention them!" Jiang Xinyu said. After all, Zhuo Tianxue's relationship with the eldest lady only became better after Jiang Xinyu's crossing, so Jiang Xinyu still didn't know what kind of grievances Zhuo Tianxue suffered before Jiang Xinyu's crossing. However, after she came, the relationship with the eldest lady eased a lot, and it was not like before.
"Well, don't mention that." Xiao Rou scratched her head embarrassedly. "Miss, have you ever seen yourself when you sleep?"
"What do you look like when you sleep? This, as if I've never seen it before, what? Have you seen it? ”
"Of course Xiaorou has seen the appearance of the young lady when she sleeps, and the appearance of the young lady when she sleeps is very pleasant! It's a pity that you haven't seen it yourself, Miss, alas! However, Xiao Rou has never seen what she looks like when she sleeps. ”
"Okay, dead girl, dare to play tricks on me, I think you are getting more and more presumptuous. It's strange that I don't hit you. ”
"Miss, Miss...... Xiaorou doesn't dare to trick you. Xiao Rou is telling the truth. "Huh.
Jiang Xinyu and Xiaorou's laughter echoed throughout the room,
After a while, Jiang Xinyu has had enough? I felt a little tired, so I asked Xiaorou what time it was.
"Miss, it's almost past the hour, Miss, why don't I wait for you to sleep!"
"Well, it just so happens that Hongu also feels a little tired." Jiang Xinyu nodded.
Then Xiaorou made a bed for Jiang Xinyu and waited for Jiang Xinyu to change clothes, and then Jiang Xinyu fell asleep.
The next day
Although Jiang Xinyu slept a little late last night, she woke up yesterday afternoon, and she got up a little early this morning.
"Xiao Rou, Xiao Rou." Jiang Xinyu shouted.
"Miss, I'm coming, I'm coming. Miss, why don't you sleep a little longer, and get up so early? ”
"When you wake up, it's not like you're lying down, so you don't get up."
Xiaorou groomed Jiang Xinyu and then tidied up the room.
"Miss, you wait a while, I'll go get you a basin of water and wash your face." With that, Xiaorou went out.
After a while, Xiao Rou came with washing water, waited for Jiang Xinyu to wash her face, and then took it out again, "Miss, you sit here for a while, and I'll go to the imperial dining room to see if there is anything delicious." ”
"Well, go for it". Then Xiaorou went to the imperial dining room.
Jiang Xinyu felt a little bored sitting in the house, so she went to the yard by herself, thinking that the air was good in the morning, and she would not be sleepy if she went out by herself. So Jiang Xinyu went to the yard. It happened that Mama Li was in the yard, and Mama Li saw Jiang Xinyu coming out, so she hurriedly went up to greet her.
"Mama Li, Xiaorou went to the imperial dining room just now, you can sit here with the palace for a while!"
"Yes," replied Mama Lee.
Jiang Xinyu sat in the yard, breathing in the morning air, feeling very good.
After sitting for a while, Jiang Xinyu asked Mama Li as if she remembered something.
"Mama Li, there are some things I want to ask you in this palace, thinking that you are an old man in the palace, there are some things you should know, so this palace has come to ask for advice."
"Oh, Concubine Xue, you are serious, if there is anything, just ask, as long as the slave knows, the slave will tell you." Mama Li replied respectfully.
"Bengong has thought that Bengong has been here for so long, but he has never seen the Queen Mother, and the emperor has never taken Bengong to visit the Queen Mother."
"Xue Fei Niangniang, this slave knows a little. Because you are the concubine in the palace, it stands to reason that you should go to see the Queen Mother, but when you enter the palace, you are the Snow Concubine, and the level is the same as the other three concubines, so you don't need to visit the Queen Mother. ”
"Oh, that's it!" Jiang Xinyu nodded and understood something.
"Mama Li, there is one more thing in this palace that I don't know if you know."
"Xue Fei Niangniang, you say."
"Everyone in the palace knows that the Queen Mother has gone to Sanqing Temple, but no one knows the reason, do you know?"
"Eh, Concubine Xue, this slave doesn't know either. Xue Fei Niangniang, don't ask about such things in the future, the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to ask about this matter. Mama Li said in Jiang Xinyu's ear.
Since this is the case, Jiang Xinyu did not ask any further. Anyway, she doesn't have that much curiosity about other people's things, and today is just a momentary reminder.
Xiao Rou came back from the imperial dining room and brought Jiang Xinyu breakfast. Then Jiang Xinyu went back to the house to have breakfast.
After breakfast, sitting in the house for a while, Jiang Xinyu felt bored, and Jiang Xinyu felt more and more bored these days. When I first entered the palace, there was still a freshness, and after a long time, I felt that there was nothing to do in the palace, which was very boring.
The Queen Mother is not in the palace, and she can't go to see the Queen Mother. There are also few people in the Piaoxiang Palace, several eunuchs and palace maids are honest, the two grandmothers look a little serious, and Jiang Xinyu usually doesn't want to talk to them more. Only Xiaorou, sometimes she can still play with herself, and occasionally make a small joke, but after all, she is in the palace, and she can't be too presumptuous, otherwise it won't be just a joke. This Fragrance Hall is really a little deserted, there are few people, let alone a few people who can speak.
Jiang Xinyu felt extremely bored. Everything is the same in the palace, and even she, a mother, is bored. Jiang Xinyu regretted entering the palace a little.
Before noon, Jiang Xinyu was sitting by the window, and suddenly remembered some of the games he had often played before he crossed over. So I felt like playing a game from my previous world.
What to play? Jiang Xinyu thought about it for a long time and decided to make her own chess.
So Jiang Xinyu called Xiaorou.
"Xiaorou, you go and find the piece of jade that the emperor gave to the palace before I entered the palace,"
"Miss, what are you looking for that piece of jade?" Xiao Rou was puzzled.
"If you are told to go, you can go, and I will tell you when the time comes!"
"Okay, then Miss wait a minute, I'll go look for it."
Xiao Rou found the piece of jade and gave it to Jiang Xinyu.
This piece of jade was given to her by Nangong Tian when Jiang Xinyu was just named Concubine Xue's mother, and Jiang Xinyu didn't care much about it at that time, so she put it in a box casually. I didn't remember it until today.
Jiang Xinyu said to this piece of jade, "This palace sees that you are also a good jade, or it was given to this palace by the saint today, this palace thinks that you can't waste you in vain and only put it in a box, since it is a good jade, you have to make good use of it and find your own value, right?" Jiang Xinyu smiled evilly.
"Miss, what are you going to do with this piece of jade?"
"Hongu is going to do chess." Jiang Xinyu said.
"Chess? Chess? Xiao Rou had never heard of it yet. Miss, what is chess? Is it OK to eat? ”
Jiang Xinyu laughed, "Dead girl, you know how to eat, your young lady and I, it's really a little game to test your mind, you know?" ”
"Well, Xiaorou doesn't understand either." Xiao Rou scratched her head as she spoke.
Jiang Xinyu asked Xiao to bring a pen and paper, Jiang Xinyu spent a model of chess, and then called Xiao Rou.
"Xiaorou, you go and invite a craftsman who can polish jade to the palace."
"Miss, do you want to make jade?"
"It's just you." Jiang Xinyu sat in a posture to beat Xiao Rou, and Xiao Rou immediately ran away and went back to find the craftsman who polished the jade.
Xiao Rou brought the craftsman back, and then Jiang Xinyu instructed Xiao Rou to let the craftsman wait in the courtyard.
After a while, Jiang Xinyu came out with the drawn model.
"Xue Fei Niangniang Wan Fu Jin'an."
"Well, excuse me."
"I don't know what the little one has to tell the little one?" The craftsman asked.
"There is a drawing here in the palace, and there is something that the palace wants you to do, and you polish this piece of jade to me according to it." As he spoke, he gave the jade in his hand to the craftsman.
The craftsman took the jade, looked at it and said, "Xue Fei Niangniang, this is a good jade, if you polish it........."
"It's okay, this palace asks you to polish it, and you will polish it,"
"Yes." The craftsman replied.
So the craftsman began to polish it by hand.
"Concubine Xue, this is the jade given to you by the emperor, how can you ......" Xiao Rou said anxiously.
"What the emperor gave to this palace is what this palace is, and there is nothing to do. Out of what is the main palace is responsible. ”
In fact, it's just a piece of jade, what can it do! Jiang Xinyu thought to herself.
After a while, the craftsman polished it, and it was also the kind Jiang Xinyu wanted. Jiang Xinyu asked Xiaorou to give the craftsman some reward, and then the craftsman left.
"Miss, is this chess?" Xiao Rou asked.
"Yes, this is chess, and chess is a game that tests the mind."
Xiaorou listened to Jiang Xinyu's explanation for a long time, but she still didn't understand anything.
