Chapter 013: Meet Mei Ji
According to the rules, Xiao Qi needs to take a bath before going to Fengtian Pavilion, and after a layer of yellowed water stains is wiped off, his delicate and three-dimensional facial features are revealed.
Seeing this face for the first time, Xiao Qi himself was also startled.
Even if I have seen countless beauties in Da Chu, and I have seen many naturally beautiful celebrities or plastic surgery Internet celebrities in modern times, they are not as beautiful as the owner of the body in front of them.
is only twelve or thirteen years old, and her appearance is already extraordinary, and when she grows up, she will definitely be a peerless beauty who captivates the country and the city.
Xiao Qi gently stroked his cheek.
Maybe to others, this face is a gift from God, but for Xiao Qi, it is a scourge that cannot be revealed.
There is no shortage of beauties in the palace, slaves, and there should be no beauty.
Drying his body, Xiao Qi took out the pre-prepared disfigurement powder as quickly as possible and applied it to his face.
This disfigurement powder is made by using the records and techniques of modern Chinese medicine, with corn flour, fragrant ash powder and the juice pressed from the bark of cinnamon trees, and applied to the face to form a dull yellow skin.
With the cover of the skin, her appearance is not so outstanding, and she can only be called attractive. This face was her weapon, and she couldn't let it come back to her until she was ready.
"Is the girl ready? ”
The little slave outside the door saw that the time was about the same, and knocked on the door to urge.
Xiao Qi quickly got dressed, reconfirmed the pill the size of the sycamore hidden on his sleeve, and then pushed the door and walked out.
Fengtian Pavilion is not as magnificent as Kunling Palace, and it is no different from the warm pavilion of ordinary good concubines. Mei Ji advocates frugality, Xiao Qi simply glanced at it, and felt that it was simple and elegant everywhere, and it looked like a female official's place in terms of regulation.
Mei Ji leads by example, and there is nothing wrong with the details, which is why the queen sent her to Mei Ji's side.
Thinking of the palace man who gave Chang Ji to death, and in the end, he was as dead as Chang Ji, Xiao Qi clenched his fists tightly.
In the last life, she couldn't help herself, but in this life, fate gave her a chance to do it again, and she would never let the tragedy happen again.
The queen's words, 'No matter who you were in the past or where you come from, this palace will not hold you accountable' actually put her life in her own hands, and in such a situation, she must think of a feasible way to get out as soon as possible.
"Slave Xiaoqi visits Mei Ji Niangniang, may Mei Ji Niang Niang be happy and Yongtai. ”
Entering the main hall, Xiao Qi saluted in a proper manner, not because he was a slave sent to Fengtian Pavilion by the queen, and he was reckless, nor because of the humble status of the slave, he was trembling timidly.
Mei Ji sat on the soft collapse and looked at Xiao Qi up and down.
Her complexion was calm, her breathing was even, and although she was a slave, her demeanor was very extraordinary. Coarse cloth clothes, simple and neat, the sun shines on her body through the window lattice, as if it is much more gorgeous than the cotton clothes of ordinary palace people. Her hair is black and thick, and she only wears a simple bun on the top of her head, and a wooden stick is inserted between her hair, which is fresh and elegant. A plain face is slightly rough and not fair, but her delicate facial features and beautiful silhouette can still be seen. Especially the pair of watery eyes, dark pupils, thick eyelashes, hanging slightly, every moment of shaking is so gripping.
The corners of Miki's lips slowly hooked.
This female slave Xiao Qi is not wrong from head to toe, but her intuition tells Mei Ji that the female slave in front of her is by no means a good type.
She knew the queen's hostility very well in her heart, and avoided it everywhere, just to avoid a head-on conflict with her and cause trouble for herself.
Now, the queen didn't greet her, so she directly sacrificed her ancestors with the Fengtian Pavilion Lantern Festival, and rewarded Xiao Qi. In front of Xiao Yi and the concubines in the harem, she didn't even have a chance to refuse.
Mei Ji's heart is very uncomfortable.
"Well, get up. ”
No matter how uncomfortable she was, she was also rewarded by the queen, even if it was a slave girl, she had to stay with a pleasant face.
"The queen praised you, saying that you were clever and clever, and that you were an example among slave girls. Now it seems that this is true. When I look at you, I like it very much. ”
The temple is quiet, and there are many people serving today.
"The queen is in love, Xiao Qi only knows how to do her part and serve her master. It is a blessing for slaves and maids to have the honor of serving Mei Ji Niangniang. ”
Xiao Qi still knelt on the ground and replied softly.
"It's not easy to know what you do well, and many palace people don't even know what they do. I like to be quiet, so the people of Fengtian Pavilion have reduced a lot of idlers, leaving only the obedient and diligent ones. Why should I waste money on them if they are not serving with all my heart, you say? ”
"Yes......"
Xiao Qi felt Mei Ji's vigilance.
"Get you up, why are you kneeling down again. Mei Ji said gently: "I don't have more rules here than in the queen's palace, and I have more things to do, except that when the king comes, I am busy, and I usually don't have much work." Listening to Cui Zhangshi's introduction of the good tea you made, the queen was full of praise for using it. The queen is the daughter of the prime minister, everyone is beautiful, and she likes to drink tea and do these vassal and elegant things. But I'm different. I like to sing songs and drink some sweet soup, but I don't need to serve tea from time to time. The tea is bitter, and I can't get used to it. ”
Mei Ji's expression was very embarrassed.
is good at making tea but can't use it to cook tea, that is to say, when Xiao Qi came to Fengtian Pavilion, it was useless.
After entering the main hall, Mei Ji was praising Xiao Qi and thanking the queen on the surface, but in fact, she was telling Xiao Qi that she didn't need Xiao Qi to come over at all.
Hui Chang, the palace maid in charge next to her, reminded smartly: "Niangniang, although Xiaoqi is a slave girl who serves tea, but if she wants to cook tea and cook, she also has the same end, they are all for food, why don't you let Xiaoqi girl go to the small kitchen to try? Niangniang always said that the sweet soup in the palace does not taste like home, this Xiaoqi girl is not a Hunan person, if you want to come to the girl is smart, she will definitely make the taste that Niangniang likes." ”
As soon as Hui Chang finished speaking, he was suddenly slapped by Mei Ji.
Smack-
This slap used full strength, and the sound echoed in the hall, very loud.
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Mei Ji suddenly became angry.
Hui Chang immediately knelt down, trembling and begging for mercy.
"The slave has a lot of mouths, and the mother forgives her sins!"
Hui Chang is in charge of the palace, that is, the head of the first palace, and he also has an official rank among the palace people. And it takes a long time to get to this position.
The heads of the palaces are currently selected by the Queen Mother to be brought to Duanguo, so even if they are palace people, the concubines of each palace are also very respectful.
Mei Ji has always been cautious, but this time, she directly slapped her in front of the entire Fengtian Pavilion Palace......
