Chapter Forty-Three: The Snowy Night Boat
Kitchenette:
Under Qiu Tian's "invitation", the palace people in the courtyard inside and outside the Luxury Fragrance Hall came to the small kitchen to taste the imperial food left in the small kitchen.
I am full of joy to eat the imperial meal Qiu Tian, after all, this is an imperial enjoyment, in terms of ingredients, it is extremely high-end and expensive, and even the method is exquisite and the taste is first-class, even the bean sprouts are cut into roots, like a thin thread can be threaded through a needle.
Qiu Tian looked at the ginger shreds that were cut into thin strips by chopsticks, and praised her, just when Angelica left Qiu Tian's side and went to help her pick up vegetables, Xiaoshizi suddenly walked up to Qiu Tian and knelt down, "Miss, thank you for helping the slave in front of Your Majesty." It is also the first time in this life that a slave has met someone who can turn decay into magic, and it is also the first time that he has encountered a person who does not remember the ignorant hatred of the slave, but also helps himself with good words. ”
"Miss! If Xiaoshizi can come to the Luxury Fragrance Palace, the slave will be your person in the future. Xiao Shizi will kowtow to Qiu Tian and plead, "Miss, please let me enter the small kitchen of the Luxury Fragrance Hall as a little cook!" Miss, I beg you to ......."
"Wait!" Qiu Tian grabbed Xiao Shizi who wanted to continue kowtowing, but Xiao Shizi broke free of her hand and continued to kowtow to her and pleaded, "Miss, please ...... you"
And she was forced to give a look Angelica, Angelica immediately buckled the prawns and flashed out of the crowd, pulled the pebble and sat on the ground, and reprimanded viciously: "Woo woo woo......"
(Translation: Miss told you not to kowtow, you still kowtow...... Can't understand people? If you want to enter the small kitchen of the luxury hall, dream of it! )
Qiu Tian looked vicious, but made a "woo" sound like a cat's meow, and felt very cute, and felt that the "helper" that person danced for himself was quite cute, but it was too risky.
It was precisely because of this trouble that the palace people in the small kitchen stopped the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and became melon eaters, but Qiu Tian was not stupid and searched for them.
Suddenly, they turned their backs to each other and continued to talk as if nothing had happened.
Qiu Tian withdrew her eyes, yawned lazily, sat on the bench and raised Erlang's legs, looked at Xiaoshizi without thinking, and a mysterious smile suddenly flashed on her delicate face, Xiaoshizi couldn't help but panic in her heart.
She spared her hair thoughtfully, "If you want to enter the small kitchen of the Luxury Fragrance Palace, do you have a name?" ”
"I ......" Xiaoshizi was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"I don't keep useless people around, and if you want to stay with me as a small chef, you not only have to vote, but also tell me what you can do for me? To what extent? ”
Qiu Tian stood up suddenly, shook his clothes, looked at the hesitation on his face condescendingly, as if he was about to retreat from the pebble, and the corners of his mouth raised a sneer slightly, "Angelica, I'll go for a walk around, you don't have to follow me." You put the bath water for me in the Pian Ran Palace! ”
"Yes!" Angelica finally swallowed the prawn he was holding just now, and glanced at the pebble with disdain, "It's really brazen that you still want to stay with Miss like this." ”
The melon-eating crowd saw Qiu Tian leave the small kitchen, and they all chimed in, "That's right! That's right! ”
"Hurry up and finish this meal and go back to your imperial dining room!"
"Haven't you always looked down on us palace people in the kitchen? Why do you ask for a small kitchen now? What a shame! ”
"Let's get out of here......"
……
Angelica's frowning looked at the group of people who were scrambling to come forward and mock Xiaoshizi, frowned in displeasure, and ordered the expulsion: "When you are full, you will disperse for me." ”
"Let's eat!" Angelica stuffed a bowl with a large abalone into Xiaoshizi's arms with an expression, "How can we say that we are, Miss is Miss." ”
"Why are you helping me?" Xiao Shizi looked at this Angelica with a dead face, and Angelica sneered and smiled, "I'm not helping you, don't be wrong." ”
Immediately, she rolled up her sleeves and nibbled on the chicken leg and said slowly: "Miss is Miss, love and hate are clear, she doesn't raise idlers, and the people who stay by her side are at least capable of proving themselves." Angelica couldn't help but smile when he thought that his name was actually involved in Xiao Shizi, if he let this kid know that he was one of the ingredients of his name, he would definitely show off to himself.
"Think for yourself, what do you want to prove your loyalty to Miss to her." Angelica finished nibbling on the chicken thighs, burped contentedly, and left the small kitchen.
On the other hand, on Qiu Tian's side, she stepped out of the moon and looked at the contrast between the snow and the crimson red walls of the palace.
The moon is in the sky, the stars are dim, the breeze is blowing, and the chill dissipates.
She was bored and wandered around in front of the palace where the three princes sent her away, and found that the three princes were not there, so she followed the road and slowly walked to the river.
The Yuhe River, which was supposed to be frozen, flowed unexpectedly, and Qiu Tian got out of the bushes somewhere, looking at the swarthy Yuhe to reflect this round of Haoyue as big as a jade plate, and recited a certain white poem that was a household name in his previous life, "Look up at the bright moon, and the bright moon misses her hometown!" ”
Suddenly, a melodious and graceful sound sounded from far and near, attracting her attention, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw a young man standing on the bow of a slow-moving boat on the top of the royal river, playing Chang Xiao against the bright moon. Xiao Sheng turned to listen, but with a hint of sadness, but she looked at it and saw that it was the third prince.
The moonlight's silvery-white white veil draped over his royal blue clothes seemed to help him with a layer of brilliance, and his shadow reflected in the royal river was stretched as the small window drove ......
At this time, the breeze blew, rolling up the fine snow on the shore and scattering it, and a picture of a cold winter boy admiring the moon fell into Qiu Tian's mind.
Suddenly, a pipa sound sounded, interrupting Xiao Sheng's melody, and she hurriedly turned her head to find the place where the pipa sounded.
She saw the boat running opposite the three princes slowly passing by, and the sound of the pipa sounded in the boat, and when the three princes asked to see the person in the boat, Qiu Tian found that Zhao Er walked out with the pipa in his arms, and sat on the bow of the boat with the three princes to play.
The sound of the lute is sometimes melodious and sometimes tight, as the verse describes: "The big strings are noisy like a torrential rain, and the small strings are cut like whispers." Noisy and miscellaneous, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate......"
In this situation, she seemed to feel Mr. Bai's "Pipa Xing", cleared her throat, and recited to Haoyue: "Move the boat to be close to each other, invite each other, add wine and return to the lamp to reopen the banquet." After a long time, he came out, still holding the pipa and half covering his face. The hinge plucks the strings three or two times, and there is love before the tune...... The low-brow letter continued, saying that there are infinite things in my heart......"
When she read her feelings, she recited it aloud, "Don't have sorrow and hatred, silence is better than sound at this time." The silver bottle burst through the water slurry, and the iron rider stood out with swords and guns...... The east ship and the west boat were silent, and only the autumn moon in the heart of the river was seen. ”
The royal river is supreme, the third prince heard someone reciting a poem, the emotion in the poem is real and sad, but it is a little suitable for this situation, he can't help but be curious and ask the palace people to drive away to the dark place where the voice is right.
"Who?"
"Who's there?"
"Get out of here!" Suddenly, the voice of the third prince asked eagerly, which frightened Qiu Tian and stopped reciting.
When she relied on the light of the moonlight, she saw that the boat carrying Zhao Er and the third prince was rowing straight towards her, even in the shade of the tree, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her face, but responded, and kicked at the big tree beside her.
Suddenly, the snow on the big tree rose down, blocking the sight of the third prince and Zhao Er, Qiu Tian took this opportunity to escape, the third prince in the diffuse snow fog, with the moonlight, saw that the person was wearing a blue dress, it was a woman.
Woman......
The third prince's mind suddenly flashed Qiu Tian's sweet and handsome appearance, but in the next moment, he quickly shook his head and denied her, after all, even if she has an identity and appearance, she is worthy of being able to walk freely in the harem, but it is impossible for her.
His Dark Soul Pavilion news will not be wrong, Qiu Tian is just a vase with an empty appearance like no poetic talent, and it is absolutely impossible to create such a realistic poem with unpaid ambitions.
"Third prince, can you see who that person is?" Zhao Er hugged the pipa and asked gently, and the third prince shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I only know that it is a woman." ”
"Presumably she is also a strange woman with first-class poetry talent." Zhao Er did not hesitate to praise the woman, but he didn't know that that person was her sworn enemy.
Qiu Tian went around the royal river, but she didn't know where to go to the palace, but she could be sure that the third prince and Zhao Er would never catch up with her in this place.
She leaned against a snow-covered rockery, took a deep breath, frowned and looked around, asking herself, "Why am I running away?" ”
"I didn't do anything?"
"It's not wrong to recite the hot words of the great poet Bai Da to the moon, why do you want to run?"
She looked at the dirty upper of her shoes in confusion, "I haven't broken through other people's adultery, why do I have to run away?" Zhao Er and the third prince are innocent, and they are meeting friends with the piano on the royal river at night......"
As everyone knows, she has forgotten the boundary between men and women, and in the harem, people who are explicitly forbidden to enter the palace are not allowed to meet in private in order to prevent misconduct.
But as soon as she finished speaking, and when she was about to leave, she saw a pink figure flashing in front of her, and she gasped in shock, "It won't be so evil!" ”
She hurriedly recited the 24-character motto in her heart: prosperity and strength, (democratic) master, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness......
But! How so?
Novels and TV series are all played like this - there are many Ah Piao in the deep palace compound, after all, there are many tragic deaths. But people are either white or red, why are they pink?
And a pungent scent? The taste of inferior flavors......
Could it be that Ah Piao used inferior incense powder?
Curious if it was still a cat, she poked her head out to see where Ah Piao had gone.
As a result, as soon as she poked her head out, she saw the man trotting into a dilapidated palace not far in front of her under the moonlight, but under the bright moon, she found that the person had a shadow, so it was not Ah Piao, but a palace maid running around late at night.
But the palace maid didn't sleep well, what did she do when she ran out? Could it be ......
Subsequently, her resignation overcame her gossip, and when she was about to leave, she heard the voice of male and female love, she frowned and spurned, "Hey, ......
But the last gossip made her creep towards the dilapidated palace, in order to verify that her conjecture about the "evil" of the palace maid was wrong. Maybe it was just the sound of the palace maid doing the hard work?
After all, there are many dark things in the palace......
