Chapter 119: A Guest at the Palace
"Mu Longxian, your meals are too good!" Xiaoxiao's mouth was stuffed with things, and the words he said were also vague.
Looking at Xiaoxiao gobbling up, Murong Xian couldn't help but feel funny, and said: "The girl is an immortal who lives in the god realm all the year round, how can the food in our human world be compared to the god of food in the god realm." ”
"Said I told you that I live in the God Realm?" asked with a smile looking at Murong Xian, slowing down the movements in his hand.
"Isn't it?" Murong Xian gave Xiaoxiao another piece of meat, and the little eunuch on the side was dumbfounded, the emperor personally prepared the vegetables, this girl's blessing was really unusual.
"I live with Master in the mountains, where the spiritual energy is strong, which is conducive to cultivation, I have not yet cultivated to become an immortal, and I still have to eat grains, so I can't do it, so Master needs to cook for me every day, but there are only a few things in the mountains, and I will tell you secretly. Xiaoxiao hooked his finger towards Murong Xian and said softly, "My master is really not a cook's material. ”
"Hahaha......" Murong Xian couldn't help laughing, what came to mind was the scene of Yuhua cooking in front of the stove, such a cold and dustless immortal, willing to wash his hands and make soup for his apprentice, it seems that he really values this apprentice.
"Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth. Smiled and emphasized, patted Murong Xian's shoulder with an oily hand, and a bright dragon robe was stamped with oil, and the little eunuch on the side felt painful.
Murong Xian didn't care about this, and after laughing, he said, "The girl is really blessed, to have such a master who loves her. ”
"That's right, Master's face is a little colder on weekdays, but it's always very good for me. Xiaoxiao nodded, and after finishing speaking, he continued to nibble on the chicken in his hand.
"Is this the first time the girl has come to the palace?" asked Murong Xian.
"Hmm. Xiaoxiao nodded.
"In that case, why don't you stay for a few days before leaving?" Murong Xian asked for Xiaoxiao's opinion.
"Really?"
"Naturally. ”
"Okay, then you're welcome. ”
"Koizumiko. Murong Xian called the little eunuch.
"The minions are here. ”
"Clean the side hall of Zhengyang Palace, and the arch girl lives. Murong Xian commanded.
Xiao Quanzi said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Zhengyang Palace is the residence of the emperor, if this girl lives there, I am afraid that it is not suitable." ”
Murong Xian's expression turned cold when he heard this, and he was about to have a seizure, so he smiled and grabbed Murong Xian and said, "Listen to this father-in-law's land, that place should be very important, Murong Xian, why don't you send me to a clean place, I am not used to the crowds." ”
"It's fine. Murong Xian thought about it, and seemed to have some truth, so he ordered Xiao Quanzi to go to the Jinxiu Palace, which was closest to the Imperial Garden.
"It's Lord Chu Xi's wedding in a few days, and the girl wants to go with me?"
"Chu Xi, who is he?" asked Xiaoxiao.
"Chu Xi is the secretary of Dali Temple, who is in charge of solving cases. ”
I remembered that the man who looked at the corpse by the river that day, listening to the words of the people, seemed to be very optimistic about this Dali Temple, and said with a smile: "Okay, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
"What's the matter?" Murong Xian asked with a smile as he turned his head to look at him.
"In the future, you can no longer call me a girl, my name is Xiaoxiao, it's easy to remember. Xiaoxiao patted his chest and introduced himself.
"Okay, smile. The corners of Murong Xian's mouth curved, and when she saw that the placket of Xiaoxiao's clothes was stained with oil by herself, she instructed the maid to prepare a change of clothes.
After being full of wine and food, Murong Xian ate the pill given by Xiaoxiao and quickly fell asleep, seeing this, he could only be sent to Jinxiu Palace by Xiaoquanzi, on the way, Xiaoxiao asked Xiaoquanzi many questions.
"Xiaoquanzi Xiaoquanzi, can I ask you some questions?" Xiaoxiao pulled Xiaoquanzi in front of him, who was hunched over for himself, and asked.
"But it doesn't hurt to say, girl. Izumiko broke away from the pull of the smile and took a few steps back from the distance between the two.
Xiaoxiao was not annoyed, and continued to ask: "I heard others say that the previous emperors have three wives and four concubines, is it true?"
The corners of Xiao Quanzi's mouth twitched, he didn't expect Xiaoxiao to ask such a question, and replied: "The girl is wrong, the emperor can't use words like three wives and four concubines, it should be three palaces and six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines." ”
Smiled and waved his hand, not caring about these titles, and said, "So it's true?"
"Miss Hui, the current saint is very good compared to the previous emperor, and there are only ten people in the harem. ”
"Ten people, so many?" Xiaoxiao was surprised, but she didn't expect that there were still few people, wouldn't a man be tired if he was matched with so many women? Of course, Xiaoxiao would not ask such a question, he could only think about it in his heart.
"Girl, the first emperor had hundreds of concubines, although there was only one queen in the later period of Emperor Ling, but before the establishment of the queen, Emperor Ling also had many concubines, so ten, it is really very few, and even this palace is not satisfied. Koizumi explained.
"Alas~ It's good to be an emperor, and there are so many people to serve. ”
"Girl, most of the people in the harem are good at scheming, please be careful these days. Xiao Quanzi reminded Xiaoxiao after sending it to Jinxiu Palace.
Xiaoxiao didn't know why, and asked, "Why do you say this?"
"The slave is talking, and the girl goes to bed early. Xiao Quanzi took advantage of the gap of smiling and stunned to leave quickly. I can't even laugh and scream back.
The palace maid in Jinxiu Palace heard the movement at the door, and saw a woman in lilac clothes standing at the door, and the palace maids were amazed, it turned out that the girl who Grandpa Quan said to serve him carefully looked so good-looking, and she was really like a fairy descending from heaven.
An older palace maid stepped forward, looked at it and smiled, bowed her head and saluted, and said, "Hello girl, but the girl is from the imperial study?"
smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, the palace maid summoned all the palace maids and eunuchs, stood in front of the smile and saluted, and then introduced them one by one, including the gatekeeper, the person responsible for washing, the person responsible for eating, and the person responsible for careful waiting.
"Girl, the slave maid Yueyan, who is a little older, is the palace maid in charge of Jinxiu Palace, and is responsible for waiting for the girl's daily life. Yueyan said.
Although Yue Yan is a little older, she still looks good, and Xu has not suffered any grievances in the palace, so this pretty little face can still drip water.
Xiaoxiao heard it in a fog, and saw that a large number of people were kneeling down to him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up one by one, muttering in his mouth: "I'm not a very noble person, you don't want to worship me, I can't stand it, just do things well, there are not so many rules." ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts warmed, and they said, "Miss Xie is compassionate." ”
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Yue Yan dismissed everyone and asked Xiaoxiao: "Has the girl ever had dinner?"
"Used. ”
"What do you have to say about the girl?"
"I want to take a bath. Said with a smile.
Then he asked the girl to sit in the room for a while, and the slave and maid ordered someone to prepare. After finishing speaking, Yueyan went down to prepare, and ordered someone to take Xiaoxiao to the bath of Jinxiu Palace.
Jinxiu Palace is really big, Xiaoxiao lives in the dormitory of the main seat of the first palace, Jinxiu Palace also has a side hall, a bath, a small kitchen and so on.
"Flowing Spring. Xiaoxiao looked at the plaque in front of him and muttered.
Yue Yan followed Xiaoxiao's side and explained: "Girl, the water temperature of the bath here will not cool down for a long time, just like a hot spring in the mountains, so the original builder named this place Lingquan. ”
"I see. Xiaoxiao nodded.
When you enter the room, you can see pink sharman hanging all around, swaying like a woman's skirt.
The temperature is warm, there is a faint mist lingering, and the bath is in the middle of the room, with a screen in front of it and a beautiful couch behind it.
"You go out first, I can do it myself. Xiaoxiao saw that Yueyan hadn't left yet, so he said loudly.
"Girl, let Yueyan serve the girl to bathe and change clothes. Yueyan made a gesture to step forward to help Xiaoxiao undress.
Xiaoxiao stepped back to the side and said, "No need, I'll come by myself, you go out first." ”
"The girl should not shirk, this is the duty of the slave. Yueyan still didn't give up and wanted to step forward.
"You misunderstood, I'm not used to having someone around me when I'm taking a shower, you better go out and wait for me, if there's anything, I'll call you." Said with a smile.
Yueyan was silent for a moment when she heard this, and when she saw that she was still smiling and smiling, she couldn't, so she said: "Okay, then if the girl has something, call for it, and Yueyan is outside the door." ”
"Good. ”
After sending Yue Yan away, Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, the people in this palace are still very troublesome, living like people with broken hands and feet, the rules are even more annoying than those in the divine realm, and it is also thanks to Murong Xian who grew up here since he was a child, otherwise who will be able to stand it.
Xiaoxiao soaked for half an hour in the morning, wiped his body, and unconsciously stroked the pale pink scar on his chest, and suddenly felt a slight pain in his heart, remembering the look of Yuhua when he first changed into a human form that day, and it seems a little strange to think about it now.
Unable to think of a reason, Xiaoxiao took the clothes that were stacked aside, put them on, and left the bath.
Seeing the smile, Yue Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The girl has washed it?"
"Hmm. Xiaoxiao nodded, looked at the goose-yellow clothes on his body again, and said, "Yueyan, can you change into lilac clothes here, I don't like clothes of other colors very much." ”
"Yes, girl. ”
"Thank you. ”
Yue Yan was stunned for Xiaoxiao's thanks, as if she didn't expect Xiaoxiao to thank her as a palace maid, and she was stunned for a long time before turning around and saying, "The girl doesn't have to be polite, these are the duties of slaves." ”
"Okay, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early. ”
