There are two reasons why the female official in front of the palace can make the palace people fearful, and the palace maid respectfully calls him a 'female official'. First, the female officials in front of the emperor often walk around in front of the emperor, not only to show their faces in front of the emperor, but also to speak in the emperor's ear from time to time.

Second, many concubines in the harem who rarely see the Son of Heaven had to bribe to listen to the emperor's whereabouts and preferences. Since it is able to climb to the emperor to serve, its mental means are within the reach of very people, and it is that female officials have always been very good at seizing the opportunity to tie up the opportunity of the concubines who hope to be favored but have not yet been favored.

Under such a complex and involving a lot of interests, the palace maids did not dare to easily meet the female officials.

Xue Hainiang is an exception.

Although she is also a person who serves in front of the palace, she is never allowed to go up to the first-class palace maid to the rough grandmother to respect her as a female official, although no one knows what the reason is, but since people have spoken like this, no one will do it again.

Xue Hainiang wore a blue embroidered quilt with blue water, and a blue goose down cloak. When he walked outside the imperial study with Juanhua, a voice higher than one voice made Xue Hainiang convinced that Nan Jiuxi had encountered something that made him angry.

Nan Jiuxi has always been moody and angry, before he ascended the throne, he was only like this in front of people, after ascending the throne, Xu was shackled by the partisan strife of the previous dynasty, even when there was no one, he forgot how to express his true emotions.

Now, listening to his slightly angry voice, Xue Hainiang is sure that the people who are fighting him in the study must be making him troubled.

Seeing that it was her, De'an's old face that was almost wrinkled into pickles was finally a little relieved, only to see him sigh heavily, "You are finally here, the emperor has been fighting with General Ma for a long time over the northwest garrison, and you will have to wait carefully later." ”

Xue Hainiang opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a while and finally said, "Call me here, but what does the emperor mean?"

De'an shook his head, "I haven't had the opportunity to go inside to serve tea to the emperor, and the previous tea maid didn't know what the emperor wanted, so she was sent out." He paused, with a reluctant smile on his face, "I didn't let you go in now to touch the emperor's mold, you can go in again after General Ma comes out." ”

If he ordered Xue Hainiang to go in and serve now, Xue Hainiang would definitely not comply.

In her previous life, she was Nan Jiuxi's concubine, and she was still afraid of Nan Jiuxi in anger, not to mention that in this life, she was just a palace maid who could be punished at will.

Xue Hainiang took advantage of the fact that General Ma was still in the imperial study room and Nan Jiuxi disputed, and asked Father-in-law De'an about the reason for the dispute between the monarch and the minister.

can make Nan Jiuxi so angry, it must be General Ma who has touched his bottom line, and Nan Jiuxi's bottom line has always been the imperial power that he thinks about the most.

Sure enough.

Although Dean doesn't know everything, he can also tell the general idea.

Previously, Nan Jiuxi worked hard to make Nan Shuke voluntarily give up the right to send troops, but now, the hot General Ma actually put his mind on the power of the army.

Xue Hainiang speculated that it seemed that the Ma family was blinded by their expanding ambitions......

I forgot that the imperial power should not be offended, and I forgot the fate of the Xiao family.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, I saw General Ma come out of his sleeves.

Xue Hainiang and De'an were busy saluting according to the palace rules.

"Good life is waiting for ......" The low and hoarse voice came from the top of his head to his ears, Rao has not seen him, but he can be judged from the voice alone, this person is extremely arrogant.

Ma Shirong is the elder brother of Ma Zao embroidery, but it is diametrically opposed to the Bahu grass bag of Ma Zao embroidery.

"The general walks slowly. Xue Hainiang and De'an said in unison.

After Ma Shirong left, Xue Hainiang slowly exhaled a breath, and the tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

"Looking at General Ma's arrogant appearance, you should also know that our emperor is very angry now. De'an snorted coldly, and Xue Hainiang looked up, but saw that his eyebrows and eyes that had experienced vicissitudes of life were faintly disdainful.

It is true that De'an can already predict the decline of the Ma family in the future.

Since De'an prides himself on being able to speculate on the Sacred Heart, he should know Nan Jiuxi's temperament, he has never liked his subordinates to offend, how can he allow Ma Shirong to be domineering now by relying on the favor of the Ma family.

"If you go in so rashly, I'm afraid that you will be beaten and scolded before you see Tianyan...... Can the father-in-law allow the slave to prepare a Gu soup? Xue Hainiang's eyebrows drooped slightly, and she bowed to De'an.

De'an's eyes darkened a little, and although he didn't know what Xue Hainiang's intention was in preparing the soup, he also knew that if it was completely useless, she would definitely not do anything more.

Dean nodded, smiling easily, "You say, I'll tell them to boil it." ”

Xue Hainiang smiled, and a sly look flashed over her phoenix eyes, "In this way, I will bother my father-in-law to prepare a horse's hoof soup for the slave." ”

——

'Squeak'

Xue Hainiang cautiously pushed the door and appeared in the imperial study with a rosewood tray.

Slightly drooping his head, trembling and moving towards the man sitting on the Taishi chair, Rao is gaze that was almost embedded in the ends of his hair was too hot, and Xue Hainiang did not dare to raise his head to look at him easily.

Xue Hainiang knelt down and saluted Nan Jiuxi in a high posture of a tray, "Long live my emperor, long live long live my emperor." ”

Sure enough, Nan Jiuxi's eyes were suddenly attracted by the things on the tray.

He seemed to be quite interested, "I remember that you are not on duty today......"

Nan Jiuxi didn't tell her to get up, Xue Hainiang knelt down respectfully and replied, "Serving the emperor is a matter for slaves and maids." ”

Nan Jiuxi then asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Xue Hainiang's eyes flashed slightly, "It's the soup that the slave specially ordered the small kitchen to prepare for the emperor, and the emperor wants to taste it." ”

Nan Jiuxi closed her eyes slightly, and her interesting gaze kept lingering around Xue Hainiang, but she never allowed her to get up, "Since you specially prepared it, I will take a look." ”

He was really curious, what could make Xue Hainiang specially order the kitchen to be made and sent while he was not on duty. In my impression, Xue Hainiang is indeed not a person who flatters and flatters, and unless she is on duty on weekdays, there is not even a single figure inside or outside the imperial study.

When Xue Hainiang heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still no joy on her face. "Yes. ”

Presenting sweet soup, he walked up the jade steps to Nan Jiuxi, and put the porcelain bowl containing the horseshoe soup in front of Nan Jiuxi.

“...... This is the sweet soup you specially called the small kitchen for me?" Nan Jiuxi didn't care at first, but just raised his eyes lazily and glanced at it, but this glance made the corners of Nan Jiuxi's mouth twitch.

He really didn't know what was so special about this seemingly inconspicuous soup, and even the porcelain bowl with the horseshoe soup was his most commonly used porcelain with gold and rattan patterns.

Nan Jiuxi really couldn't see what was the difference between this horseshoe soup and usual, but she specially called people to boil it and sent it in person.
