Chapter 5 Side Quests
From thrift to luxury.
Chi Xia got used to combing her hair and having someone to do it for her, and someone to wash her face and bring water, so she was only puzzled: "Don't we have to go and ask for peace?" ”
"If you want to go, the little master will follow Concubine Qi to ask the queen for peace first, and then the queen will lead everyone in the harem to go to Yonghe Palace to ask for peace together." He Xiang cleaned up for her and chose a plain silver hairpin: "Now that it is still during the national funeral, the harem is all in service, and the little lord and others will gather to guard the spirit after asking the queen mother for peace." ”
Miao Miao handed over a very delicate and small hand stove: "The little master is holding this, and now the weather is cold, and his hands are already frozen when he stays outside." ”
Chi Xia took it and touched it, the temperature was just right, it was hot and not hot, and it couldn't be seen in the sleeve.
Thanks to the brainwashing skills of the TV series, before she met Concubine Qi, Chi Xia only had the impression of "pink and delicate, how old are you now", and when she really saw her in person, she found that this is a bright beauty, even if she is almost thirty years old, she is really not young in the Qing Dynasty, but her appearance is still one of the best in the harem. It can be said that light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate, and it is pink, no matter how gorgeous the color is, her face can definitely be suppressed.
Compared with her, Nian, who is also a concubine, can only be described as delicate, looking a little weak and feeling of helping the wind.
Niu Hulu and Geng are both concubines, and the fourth elder brother Hongli and the fifth elder brother Hongli under their knees are not yet three years old, and they are of the same age.
The remaining nobles were always agreeing, almost completely silent.
The sister-in-law of the queen Wulanala died in the forty-third year of Kangxi, and she has not had any children in the past seven or eight years, and she doesn't look very energetic, although she is about the same age as Concubine Qi, she doesn't look so young in appearance.
But she treated the concubines very kindly, Concubine Qi led everyone to greet her, and Chi Xia's knees had just touched the ground, and she called "no courtesy" over there.
Judging from the first impressions of these people, it should not be difficult to survive in the harem, after all, Emperor Yongzheng is a well-known diligent government, and he doesn't spend much thought and time in the harem, so there is nothing to fight for.
This room is full of old acquaintances, only she is a "newcomer", the queen saw her here, and specially stopped: "Xia Chang is not formal, he will be under one roof in the future, and he will be familiar with it after a long time." Your aunt often comes to the house. ”
It seems that they all tacitly accepted that she took the relationship of her uncle Ortai and stuffed into the harem.
Chi Xiamo acquiesced, ready to play a well-behaved and brainless little Changzai. Follow the queen to say hello to the Queen Mother.
But the system didn't give her a chance and released a list of tasks in one go.
- Main quest: Let Concubine De be named the queen mother and move to Shoukang Palace with a time limit of 30 days.
- Task reward: 300 points, a pack of improved seeds.
- Side quest 1: Plant a test field in the palace with improved seeds.
- Reward: 50 points
- Side quest 2: Protect Prince Yi Yinxiang from injury in Yonghe Palace.
- Reward: 50 points
Chi Xia had done enough psychological construction for herself yesterday, and although the task of planting experimental fields in the palace at this moment sounded outrageous, she just paused in her steps, and then followed the concubines as if nothing happened.
Before I reached the gate of Yonghe Palace, I saw that the palace gate was wide open, and there were several people kneeling in the courtyard.
After a closer look, the person in the lead is still an acquaintance - Prince He Shuoyi, Yinxiang, who just took office today.
Yinxiang knelt upright and kowtowed respectfully: "The ministers respectfully ask the Queen Mother to be entitled." ”
The person kneeling next to him was dressed in the same costume as Yinxiang, thinking that it was another prime minister, Prince Heshuolian, that is, the original eighth elder brother Yinxi.
Seeing that the queen was leading everyone over, both of them got up and saluted, and knelt down on the left side again: "The ministers respectfully ask the queen mother to be enthroned." ”
The queen returned the salute, and was just about to speak, when she heard an angry rebuke inside.
"Are you here to invite or to force the palace? I can't stand this kind of invitation! ”
Chi Xia still remembered his side quest, and moved a little to him without a trace from the time he saw Yinxiang just now, and when he saw that something was smashed out inside, he quickly reached out to block it.
There was a strong slug on her arm, and she couldn't help but "hiss" in pain.
When I looked down, it was actually a glass tea cup.
Good guy, if you hit your head this time, you will have to break your head and bleed.
- Side quest 2 has been completed, and bonus points have been distributed.
Yinxiang obviously didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so stubborn and unwilling to accept the title, and he didn't expect that Concubine De, who usually looked so kind, would lose her manners and smash him directly.
Stunned, he turned his head to look at her. A little surprised.
Chi Xiaxin said don't look at me with this kind of look, I just want to earn more points to draw ten consecutive points, and I will be ashamed.
The harem concubines were also startled, and the Geng family was closest to her, so they hurriedly supported her: "Xia Chang is okay, right?" Do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look? ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Chi Xia moved his wrist and quickly waved his hand: "Xie Niangniang cares." ”
Geng frowned: "The back of the hand is scratched, such a big cut, hurry up and find someone to bandage it, don't leave a scar." ”
The queen didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen when she came to ask the queen mother for peace the day before, and she was still hesitating to pass on the imperial doctor, but she was interrupted by a trotting sound from behind.
Su Peisheng panted and ran towards Yonghe Palace, and before he entered the door, he tore out his voice: "Oh, His Royal Highness King Yi is a slave who is easy to find, and the emperor is in a hurry to discuss with you, why are you still here?" ”
Chi Xiaxin said that this acting skill was a bit exaggerated, most likely because Yongzheng had just heard the side quest released by her system and sent someone over to relieve his thirteenth brother.
Yinxiang was also angry, and glanced at the main hall of Yonghe Palace: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to calm her anger, since the emperor is urgently summoned, the minister will retire first." ”
Yongzheng succeeded to the throne ten years earlier, and now Yinxiang is only twenty-six years old, with extremely high talent since childhood, whether it is homework or riding and archery, he has been valued by Kangxi since he was ten years old.
Although he has been repeatedly reprimanded and neglected by the first emperor in the past three or four years, his fourth brother's succession to the throne immediately gave him a rise and directly crowned Prince He Shuoyi.
Prince Yi in this life is far from being the thirteenth elder brother who has been reused for ten years, and his heart is naturally not so tolerant.
He knelt here for almost an hour, if it weren't for the fear that the Queen Mother's refusal to accept the title would lose the face of his fourth brother, and make the fourth brother bear a reputation of "not being in the right position", he would have gotten up and left a long time ago.
Now he borrowed Su Peisheng's words, patted his sleeves and stood up, and took the opportunity to bow his hand to Yinxi: "The emperor summoned him, and the minister didn't dare to delay, so he asked the starling brother to continue to persuade the queen mother here." ”
That's detrimental.
Chi Xia muttered in his heart, but he didn't think that Yinxiang took two steps and turned around, looking at Su Peisheng: "I remember that Imperial Physician Liu is asking the emperor for peace pulse, this lady is injured, you might as well go to Imperial Doctor Liu with Father-in-law Su to have a look, so as not to let the queen pass on the imperial doctor again." ”
"Yes, yes" Su Peisheng echoed: "Today's weather is cold, Imperial Physician Liu led people to boil cold soup for the clans and ministers outside the Qianqing Palace, Xia Chang is coming with the slaves, please ask Imperial Physician Liu to bandage it." ”
The queen is having a headache here, and the queen mother refuses to be sealed, who should lead the harem to the Qianqing Palace to guard the spirit, and she can't take care of her, nodding again and again: "Xia Changzai is injured, so you don't have to go to gather today, bandage it and go back to your palace to rest." ”
Chi Xia was still a little hesitant, her main quest had to be completed in Yonghe Palace.
But when he received the eyes handed by Yinxiang, he immediately calmed down.
Concubine De prefers her youngest son, and she doesn't like Yongzheng's well-known history, and it is not a day's cold to be frozen for three feet. Anyway, she can't think of a way to solve it for a while, and it is Yongzheng who needs to improve the seeds, not her.
When the sky fell, there was a tall top, and she couldn't think of it, so she let the two of them think about it.
