Chapter 68: Hurry up
Qiu Tian never thought that she and Jiang Chaoye would meet again by the lotus pond, and she still looked like a village girl, and she was laughed at by him for a lifetime.
If time could be repeated, she was willing to use the old emperor's three-year life expectancy in exchange for not meeting Jiang Chaoye today.
[Old Emperor: I will really thank you! 】
Qiu Tian followed the embroidery girl through the back door of the kitchen of the inner court, left the inner court, and followed the narrow palace road to the lotus royal lake where the ministers had to go to the court.
Qiu Tian looked at the so-called lotus royal lake in front of him and couldn't help but smile.
If this is called a lake, the lotus pond on the bank of the big river in a certain film and television drama will not attract the emperor to have a glimpse of the style, but also a fragrance.
Therefore, this lotus lake cannot be called a lake to be precise, but a three-meter by three-meter square, and a row of lotus ponds leaning against the palace wall, nearly a hundred lotus ponds constitute a seemingly elongated lake.
She watched the ministers come up and down from the court not far away, returning in twos and threes, while she was shining on Qiu Qian'an's figure in the vast sea of people.
Xiuniang looked at Qiu Tian's yearning gaze, and sighed helplessly, "Qiu Tian!" ......Shhhh Qiu Tian! Hush...... Qiu Tian ......"
"Huh!?" Qiu Tian suddenly came back to her senses, and looked at the embroidery girl with unpleasant eyes.
Suddenly, the embroidery lady took her hand and lowered her head, avoiding the Wupin master who had just passed her.
"Qiu Tian, we are criminal slaves, and we can't look directly at these court officials." Xiuniang lowered her voice to remind Qiu Tian, Qiu Tianmu nodded, and was about to turn around and leave.
A pair of gorgeous shoes appeared in front of the two, the embroidery girl was startled, "poof", knelt on the ground, "The little ones didn't mean to bump into the adults, I beg the adults not to go to the head of the inner court." ”
"I have something to tell her, you go there and wait." Jiang Chaoye ordered the embroidery girl with an expressionless face and almost in cold blood, and the embroidery girl kowtowed in horror, and glanced at Qiu Tian, who was in trouble when she first arrived, with a little sympathy.
Xiu Niang called Qiu Tian to ask for more blessings in her heart, be smart and smart, don't offend these people, her steps are a few steps faster, and when she is two meters away from the two, she breathes a sigh of relief, and looks at the two of them worriedly, for fear that Qiu Tian will encounter an accident, and she will be very responsible at that time.
Qiu Tian looked at this pair of shoes, she couldn't be more familiar.
This is the shoe that Jiang Chaoye shamelessly sewed from her, and she sewed for her eldest brother.
The gorgeous cloth was crookedly sewn with two sturdy flying eagles, but they were ridiculed by Jiang Chaoye as two fat big chickens in the sky.
"Jiang Shiono!" Qiu Tian couldn't help choking, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
She sniffed, trying not to let the tears fall.
"Don't cry!"
"Suck ......" she flattened her mouth, sniffed, and slowly raised her head to look at Jiang Chaoye under the sun.
She looked up at Jiang Chaoye, who was dressed in battle armor, and bit her lip, wanting to tell him about her grievances on the way to the palace, as well as countless things about him.
Jiang Chaoye saw Qiu Tian in front of him, and his heart hurt, as if he had been stripped of his heart, which made him a little unbearable.
This kind of non-physical injury made him overwhelmed for a moment, and he could only look at her with a straight face, without showing a trace of emotion.
The two looked at each other, isolated from the noise of the periphery, and poured out their emotions to each other after not seeing each other for many days.
Jiang Chaoye never thought that Qiu Tian would lose weight in just a few days, her originally baby-fat face has now turned into a goose egg face, and she is wearing a wide and ill-fitting coarse linen dress, her cheeks are red from the cold, and she is not warm enough at all.
He frowned in distress, clenched his fist under his cloak, and the words that had already been drafted in his heart and cared for her turned into nothingness.
After a long time, his thousand words finally turned into one sentence, "Ann? ”
Qiu Tian looked at Jiang Chaoye's appearance aggrievedly, and greeted him again in his heart, after all, this thing eats so many things from himself, and now not only does he not come to solve himself, but he also wants to come to see his jokes and doesn't care about himself.
She was too aggrieved, but in order not to lose face, she could only hold back her tears and take a deep breath, "It's okay!" ”
Jiang Chaoye looked at Qiu Tian and said in his heart: Dead girl, still hard-mouthed!
He unfastened his cloak and threw it on her. Qiu Tian looked stunned at Jiang Chaoye and threw her cloak in public, her eyes widened, and she shouted in a low voice: "Jiang Chaoye, are you crazy?" ”
Jiang Chaoye looked at Qiu Tian's worry and anger, and the corners of his mouth raised a sloppy smile, his little wild cat couldn't lose his vitality.
When he was about to tell her to take care of herself, his ears moved, and he saw someone walking behind him, and scolded coldly: "You stained my cloak, I don't want it." ”
"Huh?" Qiu Tian frowned and looked at the cloak, there was indeed an inconspicuous stain at the end of the cloak, and he resisted dissatisfiedly: "I didn't get it, you accidentally got it yourself!" ”
"I said it's you, it's you!" After Jiang Chaoye finished speaking, he turned sideways to look at General Zhao behind him, and greeted him with a fist: "General Zhao!" ”
Old General Zhao glanced at Jiang Chaoye and nodded, his eyes fell on Qiu Tian, his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked Qiu Tian up and down, "General Jiang, do you know this slave?" ”
"Old General Zhao, you still call the junior Shioye." Jiang Chaoye raised his eyebrows, and was surprised to find that General Zhao didn't know Qiu Tian, after all, this was the initiator of her baby daughter Concubine Zhao being grounded by the emperor, but now he doesn't know it, which really surprised him.
"I don't know! It's just that she used the cloak of her juniors to dirty it. General Zhao also returned to the cloak, which for us is a symbol of victory and triumph. ”
"Oh!" General Zhao used a "oh" word in a frustrated voice to express that he understood the whole thing, "Since it's dirty, don't do it." ”
"They are also poor people, who have done something wrong, and have been punished to slavery for eternity and will never be able to come out!" Old General Zhao sighed, "Chaoye, I don't know what else is going on today?" ”
"No, I don't know what General Zhao's arrangements are?" Jiang Chaoye saw that the other courtiers saw him meeting with General Zhao, so they hurriedly quickened their pace and came to participate, which would greatly increase the danger of Qiu Tian's identity being exposed.
He pulled General Zhao away, and made a gesture to Qiu Tian to ask her to hurry back to the enslavement team.
Qiu Tian rolled her eyes and gave Jiang Chaoye a roll of eyes, then hurriedly crumpled the cloak into a ball, trotted back to the embroidery girl, and threw the cloak to Angelica, so that she could "take care" of Jiang Chaoye's baby cloak.
Angelica, who has been watching from afar, originally thought that the two who had not seen each other for too long would have a look at the cold and warmth for thousands of years, and get along with each other with affection, but in fact, they were so angry by the dialogue between the two people that they had nowhere to vent.
She slapped the stone wall angrily and gritted her teeth and left, but Qingfeng, who was following her, saw that the stone actually listed a crack, and couldn't help but think of the scene of those people in Angelica's Flying Huanxi Courtyard with fear, and her body shook uncontrollably, "I actually left...... If she were to shoot people on the head, wouldn't their heads be split? ”
"Qingfeng, what do you want?" Angelica impatiently urged Qingfeng who had not kept up for a long time, "What are you doing?" ”
"It's coming! Here it is...... "Qingfeng didn't dare to think about it, and ran quickly to keep up.
Qiu Tian saw that most of the people who went to the lake to pick lotus root were mostly palace maids from the miscellaneous service department, not the father-in-law of the miscellaneous labor department, and she was about to ask a question with a questioning face, so Xiuniang took the initiative to explain: "If the lotus root is broken, it can't be used, and those fathers-in-law who go to the lake to pick lotus root are either not fine enough, or they are not strong enough to pull the lotus." ”
"Where did the lotus root go?"
"The winter lotus root with good color is dug up and distributed to the small kitchens of various palaces in the imperial dining room, and the winter lotus root with poor color is rotten in situ and used to feed pigs and chickens."
Qiu Tian frowned puzzled, picked up a piece of broken lotus root, "Why don't you feed people?" ”
"We didn't want to use it to make a dish, but once the winter lotus root is dug up, the sludge will become fishy when it enters it." The embroidered lady looked at the broken lotus root with a helpless face, "Even if we rinse it with hot water several times and cook it, we still can't get rid of the smell of fishy mud." ”
"Why doesn't the clump of winter lotus root have the fishy smell of silt?"
"We don't know why that's happening." The embroidery girl looked at Qiu Tian and carefully compared the broken lotus root and the complete lotus root segment, "So ......"
"Embroidery girl, I want to go down to the lake to try lotus picking!" Qiu Tian looked at the complete lotus root section and another thin layer of white clothes, if you didn't look carefully, you would think that it was lotus root skin, but the layer of white clothes on top of the broken lotus root was gone.
She wanted to go down to the lake to check in person, whether it was because of this layer of white clothes that there was a difference between the broken lotus root and the lotus root.
"Miss, never!" Angelica was the first to jump out and object, she couldn't let Qiu Tian soak in the cold lake water, if she got typhoid fever, it would not be enough for her to die ten thousand times.
The second one who jumped out to block was Qingfeng, Qingfeng didn't want to see the person who wanted to change, and there was any mistake here, so he hurriedly echoed Angelica's words, "Little master, don't do it!" It's cold, the lake is even colder, and you'll get typhoid fever. ”
"Qiu Tian, don't go to the lake, when you get typhoid fever, there is no doctor to see in the inner court, so you can only stay up." Xiuniang saw that Qiu Tian and the dignitaries could talk a few words, and then saw Qiu Tian's methods and face, and it was not easy to blindly guess her identity.
In order not to get into trouble with the inner court kitchen, he could only persuade Qiu Tian with good words.
Qiu Tian frowned, "I can't verify my conjecture if I don't Lake, unless I ......"
"Unless what?" The embroidered lady and the second uncle looked at Qiu Tian with a mysterious face in confusion.
"Miss, I'll go!"
Angelica knew that Qiu Tian would give this kind of formula, and she had also seen how careful Qiu Tian was in verifying things, instead of letting her fake her hands on others, it was better for her to solve the problem quickly, not only to break Qiu Tian's idea of going to the lake, but also to solve the problem quickly.
"Good!" Qiu Tian nodded in compromise, and the stunned Qingfeng looked at the tacit understanding between the master and servant, Nan Nan said, "Tacit understanding? Or mutual trust? ”
