A hint of the white belly of a light herring shone in the corner of the vast sky, and a faint ray of light seeped through the thin clouds, and the sky was bright.

There is no need for Xue Hainiang to be on duty in front of the palace today, yes, and she was busy until the second half of the night yesterday, and she should sleep until three o'clock in the morning, if it weren't for the palace maid who was waiting in the pantry to bring breakfast and cause a sound, I was afraid that Xue Hainiang would have to sleep for an hour or two.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Xue Hainiang looked coldly at the palace maid who came to breakfast, but her hoarse voice revealed an extraordinary blandness, "What time is it?"

The palace maid put down the breakfast and smiled: "Just after the hour, I remembered that Miss Hai didn't need to be on duty today, so I guessed that sister, you must have to sleep until three o'clock in the morning, and I thought that the delicious food in the imperial dining room at that time was afraid that someone would pick it up, so I took some of your favorite ones for my sister by the way." ”

Xue Hainiang glanced at the porridge and side dishes she was resting on the coffee table, and bowed her head slightly. Fang Cai fell his gaze to the palace maid, "I'm tired of you." ”

The palace maid's name is called Caimo, if you really talk about the qualifications of serving in the imperial dining room, she is much deeper than Xue Hainiang, Xue Hainiang remembered that she was sent to serve tea in front of the palace three years ago, but she was too obedient, and her appearance was not outstanding, so she only stayed in the pantry for three years.

"Miss Hai is polite, just raise your hands......" She lowered her head and smiled, her facial features were filled with a smile that was not abrupt, although it was not amazing, but it was better to look at it comfortably, "Today's imperial dining room is cooking fish skin porridge, it is very delicious, I remember that my sister likes the smooth elasticity of fish skin the most, but I have to drink up the porridge." ”

"......" Xue Hainiang was silent, raised her eyes and glanced at her coldly, while the latter looked at her with a pair of bright and smiling eyes, as if she was deliberately waiting here.

Xue Hainiang rubbed her head, closed her eyes and meditated for a long time, but when she opened her eyes again, there was still the figure of color ink in front of her.

I don't know if she was too worried, but I always felt that Caimo's words seemed to mean something.

With such confusion, after Xue Hainiang washed up, she put a bun of green silk on her hair, put on a goose down coat to keep out the cold, and walked to the coffee table and sat down.

On the coffee table is a steaming, rice-fragrant fish skin porridge and two plates of refreshing vegetarian dishes.

First, I checked the bottom of the bowl and the bottom of the plate, and there was no abnormality.

Xue Hainiang frowned, picked up the silver chopsticks and flipped over the vegetarian dishes on the plate, and then picked up the silver spoon and reached into the bowl to stir the porridge.

But he still couldn't fish out something that shouldn't exist as he expected.

Xue Hainiang rubbed her forehead, trying to relax her tense nerves slightly. After steadying his thoughts, he picked up the bowl, picked up a silver spoon, scooped up a spoonful of rice porridge and put it in his mouth and chewed it full.

As the color ink said, today's fish skin porridge is very delicious.

After a while, the bottom of the bowl will be empty, and a bowl of fish skin porridge will enter the stomach.

"Ahem-" It took a while of coughing heavily to get better, as if choking on something unknown.

After the itching in her throat eased a little, Xue Hainiang moved her gaze to the handkerchief.

It was a spotless square handkerchief, and there was a thing similar in color to a grain of rice, like a bead.

Xue Hainiang stretched out her hand and rubbed the beads, but the beads were scattered, and there was a thumb-length note mixed between the powders, and the upright handwriting was faintly visible on it.

'Three days later, outside Beijing's vivid color 'a sight'

The location and time are a little bit named, but it is ridiculous that there is no payment.

Xue Hainiang crumpled the note and put it in the brazier, and it burned to ashes after a while.

Since it is an invitation, it is natural that it cannot be missing. Otherwise, who would be stupid enough to answer an invitation from someone who doesn't know whom?

Xue Hainiang tilted her head and thought about it for a long time, and finally only realized this conclusion - the letter came out through the hand of Caimo, and I thought that Caimo could know one or two of them.

Since she had made up her mind, Xue Hainiang did not delay here, got up and sat on the dresser, straightened the bun that she had just pulled up casually, and changed to a hairpin and other hairpins to put on a normal hanging bun. Change into a skirt, put on your shoulders, wrap it in goose down, and go out.

Caimo is the palace maid who waits in the pantry, and she doesn't need to show her face in front of the palace when she is on an errand on weekdays, and her daily job is only to sort out fresh tea leaves in the pantry.

There are a total of four palace maids serving refreshments in front of the emperor, and Xue Hainiang is only one of them.

Seeing the confused and curious eyes of the people around her, Xue Hainiang didn't shy away from it, smiled and met the gaze of a person, and said loudly: "I have something to look for the color ink in the pantry, I don't know if I can call her for me." ”

In less than a year after entering the pantry, he stepped into the sky and became a celebrity. The palace people who are waiting in the imperial study are afraid that everyone knows the woman in front of them who is rumored to be portrayed as a god.

"Wait a minute. Wearing a peach pink skirt, Shi Shiran, a palace maid wearing the color of a Hunan concubine, walked over, and said with a smile.

Xue Hainiang bowed her head and thanked her, and waited aside.

There was no shortage of people in the pantry who had a good conversation with her.

Although the palace maid of the imperial study secretly spit on people like Xue Hainiang who are good at means and tend to be inflammatory, they can clearly hinder her from winning the sacred heart, and moreover, although Xue Hainiang is powerful, she never puts on a show, and treats people easily, so the people around her are also extremely friendly to her.

After about a cup of tea, Caimo, who had just met, hurried over, and she first gave Xue Hainiang a salute.

"I don't know what Miss Hai is looking for me?" she seemed to have no idea that Xue Hainiang would be looking for her, with a simple smile on her face.

Xue Hainiang's sharp gaze as if she could perceive everything carefully tipped her ordinary and unintentional facial features, as if she intended to find something unusual from her honest and simple smile.

Caimo was a little embarrassed by her like this, lowered her eyebrows slightly, and was about to speak, but Xue Hainiang intercepted her one step ahead of her, "After having breakfast, I suddenly remembered that the emperor told me yesterday, and the snow mountain sprouts seemed to be more popular with him recently, I remembered that a few days ago, the local tribute was a batch of snow mountain sprouts, so I thought about coming over to take a look." ”

Caimo listened to it in a daze for a long time, and then reacted in a trance, and immediately nodded like pounding garlic, and said busily: "Okay-the snow mountain sprouts, hey, I seem to have seen this when I just harvested the tea leaves, but I'm not sure, I'll take a look first." After saying that, he turned around and was about to walk away, but the moment he took the step, he seemed to remember that Xue Hainiang was still behind him, and turned around and smiled at Xue Hainiang shyly, "Why don't you come with me." ”

Xue Hainiang smiled without saying a word, and calmly followed.

The little palace maid who was drying the tea set on the side took the appearance of color ink into her eyes, and she sneered, "If you want to come to this pantry, the most responsible second-class palace maid will be color ink, I heard that she has been in the palace for four or five years, and she has been serving in the pantry for three years, how can she be so stupid and dull......"
