Chapter 018: Steward Token
"Everyone is gone, come out. ”
Seeing the guards leave the slave house, and watching the slave girl kneeling on the ground pack up the straw mat and return to the room, Xiao Qi closed the wooden door and opened the firewood stack.
"Thank you for the rescue. ”
The man in black crawled out, his movements a little struggling. Xiao Qi could see that his ankle was twisted, and Xu was injured when he ran away.
"They're supposed to be out there, how do you break through. ”
Xiao Qi asked worriedly.
"It's okay, these guards can't stop me yet. ”
The man in black thought for a moment and took out a wooden sign from his cuff.
"My name is Yuxi, if the girl needs it in the future, even if she comes to His Highness Thirteen to find me, as long as I have the ability, I will definitely give my life to help. ”
Hi Yu?
Xiao Qi was slightly shocked in his heart.
Isn't that the inner prison in charge of playing the board in the slave room?
On closer inspection, these eyes do have a somewhat familiar feeling.
It's just that the light is dim, and he is dressed in black, revealing only a pair of eyes, Xiao Qi didn't think of him.
Xiao Qi took the wooden card, which was a token only owned by the chief of internal supervision.
Yu Xi has reached the position of the head of the first palace, how can he be punished to the point of being grounded.
Before the question in his heart could be asked, Yu Xi had already jumped out of the window and flew onto the beam.
Just now, she saw that this person was the talent of Xiao Xu of His Royal Highness the Thirteenth to help.
However, she was in a hurry to confront the chief of the guard, and she was too eager, not only was the chief of the guard guilty by her, but even the housekeeper of the slave house, Chun Yumin, also had a bad impression of her.
Before coming to Fengtian Pavilion, Xiao Qi focused on inquiring about the situation of Fengtian Pavilion from his master. Especially this Chun Yumin.
She is very famous in the palace, she used to be the right-hand man of the Empress Dowager Duan, and recently because she saw the Empress Dowager Duan, she was punished to the slave room, and later Mei Ji entered the palace, and she entered the Fengtian Pavilion to be the steward of the slave house.
Her status is not as good as before, but her qualifications are still there, and everyone in the palace respects her very much. It is the Shang Palace of the various Shang Palace Bureaus, and they all give her three points of courtesy.
Xiao Qi originally planned to wait for tomorrow to meet Chun Yumin in a regular manner, but he didn't expect to meet in such a situation.
It can be seen that Fang Cai Chun Yumin's expression is displeased.
Moreover, her little thought is just a trick in front of a senior palace mother like Chun Yumin, and it is not worth mentioning.
Chun Yumin's intention to help, but he just didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
After today, her Xiaoqi's name will inevitably be remembered by those who have a heart.
Xiao Qi looked at the moonlight outside the window, sighed softly, and slowly closed the window tightly.
I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.
......
The morning sun slowly rises in the east, and the snow suddenly shimmers with happy crystals. The morning of the slave house is busy, and the slaves need to prepare all the things before the palace people serve, and some of them go to the small kitchen to burn wood before dawn.
Mei Ji's breakfast is the busiest thing for the palace people in the morning.
Chun Yumin commanded everyone under the corridor, and the slaves were quick with their hands and feet, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.
"Is that the little slave who was disrespectful to the chief of the guard last night? She is so bold that she dares to offend even her official status. ”
"It's her, when the chief guard left, her face was very ugly, and she must have been angry. But it's strange that the chief guard got angry and didn't deal with her immediately, so he let her go?"
"Anyway, she was also rewarded by the queen mother herself, and after serving by the queen's side for a year, she has seen a lot more than us, and she is also bold. ”
"Yes, our mother is also very different from her, I heard that she is planning to give her a separate place to live. ”
"Alone? Isn't that an equal to Mama Chunyu?"
"Niangniang values it, no matter what her identity is, the master likes it. ”
When a few sprinkled slaves passed by Xiao Qi's side, they were talking about it.
They were all very curious about Xiao Qi's situation.
Chun Yumin looked over and found that they were chewing on the root of their tongues, and immediately shouted: "Over there, what are you doing there?! What time are you doing, and you are still lazy? The king returned to the palace today and wanted to come to Fengtian Pavilion for breakfast. The ice on the ground, the dust on the stone slabs, and the bottles and cans in the temple were all cleaned up by me. One person is two people, and you still have time to chatter. It's like eating the board, right?"
Several little slaves listened to Chun Yumin's reprimand, shrank for a moment, and immediately ran to the front yard to sprinkle and sweep.
Under the leadership of Chun Yumin, the entire Fengtian Pavilion was cleaned up and renovated.
She turned around and glanced at Xiao Qi.
"Do you know why I made you kneel in the snow? ”
Xiao Qi's cheeks know how to turn white.
"Xiao Qi did something wrong, offended the guard, and Mama punished him so that Xiao Qi could remember it for a long time. ”
Chun Yumin finally let Xiao Qi stand up.
She knew that Xiao Qi was a smart child and understood everything, and this punishment was only a symbolic punishment, so that she could remember it for a long time and stop hitting stones with eggs.
"Mei Ji Niangniang ordered you to go into the temple and reply, dust off the snow and soil on your body, and go in. ”
Chun Yumin said coldly.
Kneeling in the snow for several hours, Xiao Qi's legs were a little unconscious, and he almost fell to the ground when he went up the stone steps.
At this time, Mei Ji slowly walked out of the hall.
Today's Mei Ji is dressed up very grandly, very different from the plain simplicity, with a golden hairpin on her head, wearing Jiangnan embroidery on her body, and even the armor on her hands is decorated with Nanzhu.
This kind of costume is the head of Wang Ji, a good concubine, and she has never worn it.
Mei Ji's makeup is also very exquisite, lining her already fair skin is delicate and pink, blowing can be broken, the fragrance of fat powder hits the face, the taste lasts for a long time, and the tail note is very good.
It must also be a tribute that is not cheap.
Seeing Xiao Qi, Mei Ji was very enthusiastic: "The king said that he was going to come to my side for morning food today, so he was busy dressing up, and almost forgot about you." Xiao Qi, did you rest well last night? What is missing, just tell Huichang and let her help you carefully. ”
Xiao Qi immediately knelt down and replied: "Back to Mei Ji Niangniang's words, everything is fine with the slave and maid, there is no shortage of everything, and the slave and maid thank Niang Niang for her love." ”
"Then it is good, you are the reward of the queen's mother, and I will treat her as a good life. He likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed, so when I serve the king, I only keep Aunt Huichang by my side. However, after all, you are from the queen's side, and if the king asks about you, I am afraid that you will be in trouble if you go to the slave house temporarily......"
The slave knelt under the porch and listened to Hou Niangniang's instructions. ”
The corners of Meiji's lips hooked slightly: "That's very good." ”
Hui Chang personally took Xiao Qi to a path outside Fengtian Pavilion. In fact, this place is not as close as the slave house, but Xiao Qi also knows that the rumor is false, and the punishment is true.
Mei Ji must vent her discomfort and find a high-sounding reason.
"If you see the king, do you know what to say and what not to say?"
Hui Chang looked at her condescendingly.
Xiao Qi nodded: "The king and Mei Ji Niangniang have a meal together to relax, not to be sad." Naturally, the slave and maid will not take their own business and upset the king. ”
"You've got a bit of eyesight. ”
