Chapter 026: To Meet the Queen
Mei Ji sat in front of the vanity mirror and saw Xiao Qi at a glance.
She knelt in the corner in a proper manner, dressed plainly, but she could be noticed at a glance.
Mei Ji rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Xiao Qi, since you came so early, you learned from your aunt how to comb your hair." Let's come over a little. ”
Xiao Qi obeyed the order and stood beside Hui Chang, and Hui Chang glanced at Xiao Qi: "Give me the peach wood comb." ”
Xiao Qi turned around and wanted to get the peach wood comb on the dresser, but found that many combs of similar material were neatly placed on the table.
She hesitated.
Her identity should not know the peach wood comb, so she chose a rubber comb next to her and handed it to Hui Chang.
Such a move made the corners of Huichang's mouth show a touch of disdain.
"To learn to comb your hair, you must first learn to know your mother's things. ”
Hui Chang pushed Xiao Qi away and replaced the comb with a peach wood comb.
"Oak is good, but when the mother gets up in the morning, her hair is knotted, and the oak comb will involve the mother's. At this time, using a peach wood comb can not only reduce the pain of the mother, but also nourish the hair, which is the best choice. ”
Xiao Qi lowered his head: "The slave has been taught." ”
Hui Chang raised his chin: "Follow Niangniang, you still have a lot to learn, you just go to the side to recognize the material, when you recognize it all, when to serve Niangniang again." ”
Hui Chang knew that Xiao Qi was not easy to deal with, so she didn't want Xiao Qi to get too involved in her and Mei Ji.
Xiao Qi was sent away, and he was not angry, and obediently did what Hui Chang ordered.
She naturally recognized these, not only the difference between mahogany and oak, but also the jewelry in Meiji's dressing box, where it came from, what level of jewelry it used, when it belonged to the palace, and whether it was outdated.
Compared with Hui Chang's approachability, Xiao Qi hopes that she is jealous of herself. In this way, she can 'have a trace'.
Mei Ji usually got up very early, although she didn't decorate too much, but in order to show her respect for the queen, she would not go beyond the frugal rules she had set, and every detail had to be carefully decorated on her body.
Even now, Mei Ji is still ridiculed by the entire palace because of Xiao Yi's anger and serious illness, and she has to appear in the Kunling Hall every day without falling once.
This perseverance and patience are by no means comparable to others.
Hui Chang deliberately opened Xiao Qi, and Mei Ji didn't say a word. After glancing at Xiao Qi, who was kneeling on the side and understanding the jewelry, Mei Ji continued: "Speaking of which, you have been coming to Fengtian Pavilion for a while. I didn't have the mind a few days ago, so I didn't think about this thing, so today, you will go with me to meet the queen mother. Thou hast served the Queen's mother, and thou hast won her love, and she will be glad to see thee. ”
Xiao Qi's heart thumped.
She failed to kill Miki, but Miki wanted to return her to the queen.
Didn't this clearly tell the queen that she knew that Xiao Qi was sent by the queen to kill her, and now that she had seen through it, there was no need to pretend.
Xiao Qi looked at Mei Ji and found that Mei Ji was staring at him meaningfully.
Mei Ji wants a showdown, and she wants the queen to suffer this dumb loss.
For Mei Ji, it's just a warning, but for Xiao Qi, it's likely to be going to die.
"What, don't you want to go?"
Seeing a flash of hesitation and hesitation in the corners of Xiao Qi's eyes and eyebrows, Mei Ji asked knowingly.
"The slave is willing to go. ”
Xiao Qi retracted his gaze and replied calmly.
It's just that on the way, she has to think of a way to stabilize the angry queen.
Today's weather is exceptionally bright, and there has never been such a sunny day in the whole winter, and the sky is blue and cloudless. The morning sun sprinkled on the white snow made people see it, and the whole person was refreshed.
The concubines stood outside the Kunling Palace, waiting for the queen to summon them.
The red plums in the courtyard of the Kunling Palace are even better, and everyone is deeply attracted by such a beautiful scenery, and everyone is in groups of threes and twos, laughing and laughing under the trees.
Mei Ji was as alone as ever, and she didn't care about everyone's greetings and everyone's disdainful glances.
As the sun rises, the temperature warms up a bit. The snow hanging from the branches fell down with a dull sound.
Mei Ji gently touched the cold plum on the branch, and her pure white face looked transparent and lovely. Hanmei is like blood, just like her posture at the moment, bright and moving.
Regardless of Mei Ji's identity, she is indeed wonderful.
Beauty is a woman's weapon, if you add calmness and agility......
Xiao Qi looked at Mei Ji's side face, and strengthened the heart in his heart.
"I haven't seen anyone yet, and when I met the queen's mother, I had slaves with me. Is this Fengtian Pavilion so poor that even the palace people can't afford to use it? ”
Even if Mei Ji doesn't do evil with others, there will still be people who take the initiative to provoke.
"Sister, you don't know, it's not an ordinary slave girl, but the queen gave it to her personally. The Lantern Festival worships the ancestors, and they all praise her for her merit. Others reward gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin or something, but Mei Ji advocates simplicity, and these things are not looked down upon. Or the queen knows how to give favors to others, and chooses her favorite slave girl to give to her. You see, sure enough, she really thinks of her as a baby. ”
"It turned out to be someone next to the queen's mother, I said it, looking so familiar. ”
"Mei Ji is also ridiculous, I think that the little slave with the queen's reward is respected? I heard that the slave did the work of miscellaneous servants in Fengtian Pavilion, a good high-grade tea slave, even the queen's mother was full of praise, and he was reduced to dust in Fengtian Pavilion and did the work of low-class slaves. Now pretending to be, it seems that I respect the heart of the queen's mother. ”
"Sister, don't say that, Mei Ji is already correcting. My sister said last time that she had disappointed, and she had disappointed, so she brought the things that the queen had rewarded. It's just that she is the same as herself, and she can't be on the stage after all. ”
These words made Wang Ji and the others sneer.
At this time, Mama Cui walked out and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the queen invites everyone to come into the palace to talk. ”
According to the rules, Xiao Qi knelt under the porch, waiting for the call. From this angle, she heard a burst of laughter from the hall, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The queen keeps the harem in good order, and prefers to cause trouble, such as Wang Ji, Xiao Ji and Hua Ji, all of whom obey the queen's orders. Therefore, her position in the harem is very solid.
As for others, such as Mrs. Shangguan, she is also a more Buddhist character, with a prominent position in the harem, but she has no sense of existence.
The only difference is Mei Ji.
However, unlike Chang Ji, Mei Ji is more clever and shrewd, so that the queen has no chance to start.
Xiao Qi of Kunling Hall is very familiar, the two palace people who have walked by, Xiao Qi knows each other, and she is still very good to her.
But Xiao Qi was just about to say hello, but they left as if they hadn't seen it.
“......”
When Xiao Qi came to his mouth, he still took it back.
Their attitude, presumably, is the attitude of the queen. It seems that the queen is very unhappy with her current situation. Failing to complete the task assigned by the queen, she has become an enemy of the Kunling Palace.
After saying goodbye, all the concubines came out one after another, and they looked at Xiao Qi with a smile, as if to say, look at what you will do next.
At this time, the little apprentice beside Cui Zhanggong came to pass the word: "Slave girl Xiaoqi, the queen has something to ask you, come in and reply." ”
