Chapter 5: Fasting for three days
After Xiao Chengze left, Chifeng Palace returned to quiet.
Xiao Cui has been probing her brain to observe the situation since just now. I was afraid of being discovered by Xiao Chengze, so I didn't dare to get too close.
Finally waited for Xiao Chengze to leave, Xiao Cui quickly walked into the house and closed the door.
Xiaocui said to Zhou Yunyi, who was like a dead fish on the bed, "Miss, don't worry. I also secretly hid a few pieces of your favorite plum cake in my house. ”
"Really?" When Zhou Yunyi heard the plum blossom cake, she immediately got up from the bed.
Xiao Cui nodded like pounded garlic.
"Then why don't you go and get me two pieces." Zhou Yunyi was not hungry now, but because he returned to the unlucky palace, he was very depressed and could only rely on eating some sweets to relieve his pressure.
"Miss, there are only three plum blossom cakes left, if you eat two now. How do you survive the rest of the day? ”
Xiaocui patiently persuaded, "There are three plum blossom cakes in total, and you can only eat one piece a day." ”
Zhou Yunyi began to refute Xiao Cui: "Eating one piece a day is not enough to stuff your teeth." Three days is nine meals. Eat one piece a day, eat one-third of a meal, and starve for nine meals. It's better to eat three pieces at a time, at least this meal is not hungry. ”
Xiao Cui didn't say anything more, just shook her head firmly, and the stubborn expression on her face expressed that she would not compromise.
"Xiaocui, my good Xiaocui, you can bring it to me to eat." Zhou Yunyi's arm swayed from side to side.
Xiao Cui remained indifferent.
"Hmph. If you don't bring it to me, I can change your name to Bailu. ”
Xiao Cui's face flushed with anger, but she still persevered to the end.
Zhou Yunyi, why did he threaten Xiaocui with a name change?
This has to start from Zhou Yunyi's just crossing over, when he first came to the Jia Dynasty, he was not familiar with the whole place. Zhou Yunyi naturally didn't dare to contact people, for fear of missing the stuffing and being regarded as a monster.
But the personal girl of a big family has to stay by the side of the young lady all the time, and Zhou Yunyi has no way to avoid Xiaocui, so she can only get along with her carefully.
After a long time, Zhou Yunyi discovered that the original body was a straw bag that knew nothing. That's right, she doesn't know anything, she fits perfectly, and gradually she grows bold and mingles with the people around her.
Xiaocui is inseparable from Zhou Yunyi's side, so her name is used very frequently, but Zhou Yunyi feels that the name Xiaocui is a bit rustic, and wants to change it to a good-sounding Bailu, but Xiaocui refuses, Xiaocui thinks that Bailu is dew. As soon as the sun comes out, the dew is gone, which is not good, and it is not as rich as jadeite.
The name change is no longer over.
In the future, when something happened and Xiaocui didn't obey her orders, Zhou Yunyi took it out again and talked about it.
If you say it too many times, it will naturally not work.
Zhou Yunyi knew that there was no point in thinking about it if it continued to stalemate. "Okay, I'm surrendering, Xiaocui, you go and get one piece for me, and the remaining two pieces will be eaten tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Xiaocui quickly handed the plum blossom cake into Zhou Yunyi's hands, and Zhou Yunyi didn't care about the image and gnawed on Erlang's legs.
Xiao Cui asked, "Miss, aren't you worried about the old man and the young master?" ”
"The two of them will be fine, I guess in which corner of the palace will they eat and drink, stay there."
Zhou Yunyi leisurely stuffed the last bite of plum blossom cake into his mouth.
After all, his father has been an official in the court for many years, and he still has a certain status, besides, if Xiao Chengze really wants to destroy their whole family. At that time, they directly ordered to shoot by the river, and with such a dense rain of arrows, they would definitely pierce their hearts with thousands of arrows.
Xiao Chengze didn't give such an order, indicating that he didn't want her father to die.
The plum blossom cake eaten at noon provided Zhou Yunyi with energy for about an hour, and after an hour, Zhou Yunyi was hungry again, and her stomach gurgled loudly.
There was no other food in the palace, Zhou Yunyi only drank bowl by bowl of water, and poured his stomach round.
These are not the most boiling, the most boiling thing is that when it comes to the meal, they will put food for the palace maids and eunuchs, because the emperor's order is that there is no food in the Chifeng Palace, so all of them go to the wall outside the palace to eat, all the food is eaten, and after a special person searches, there is no private food before they can come in again.
Outside the house was for food, and inside the house was the sound of stomach rumbling. Zhou Yunyi was upset to death. He found another thick belt from the wardrobe and strangled his waist one by one to reduce his hunger.
"The Dog Emperor." Zhou Yunyi touched his stomach and cursed softly.
Time flies, and three days later in a blink of an eye, in the morning, Zhou Yunyi was happy and wanted to pass the meal, and asked the imperial dining room for many dishes that were not on the breakfast menu.
The chef of the imperial dining room looked at the menu handed over by the little palace maid, and he was also sweating profusely, thinking that the queen mother could really eat it. He had been in the palace for so many years, but he had never seen a concubine, ah no, even the emperors of previous dynasties had never seen such a sumptuous breakfast.
In the imperial dining room, all the dishes that Zhou Yun wanted were prepared in full swing, and then ten boxes were sent to the Chifeng Palace by the little eunuch.
Zhou Yunyi looked at the rich delicacies on the table and began to feast.
After a short three days, Zhou Yunyi figured it out, since he couldn't leave for a while, why didn't he use the queen's rights well?
The ancients said that if they come, they will be safe.
In less than a while, the plates of dishes in front of Zhou Yunyi were swept away.
Zhou Yunyi is now not only physically satisfied, but also mentally satisfied, lazily leaning on the chair and basking in the sun, feeling infinitely comfortable.
But not long after Zhou Yunyi was exposed, an old eunuch she didn't know came to her house.
"Old slave, please say hello to the queen." The old eunuch saluted Zhou Yunyi.
A palace maid who had been in the palace for a long time reminded Zhou Yunyi in a low voice: "It's really Gonggong Zhao next to the Queen Mother." ”
"Father-in-law Zhao, hurry up." Zhou Yunyi said with a pleasant face.
Zhou Yunyi thought to herself that the Queen Mother wouldn't come to her again, right?
As soon as he finished thinking about this, Zhao Gonggong said: "The Queen Mother invites the Queen Mother to go to Shoukang Palace for lunch."
"I see. My father-in-law went back to the Queen Mother first, and I dressed up a little to visit the Queen Mother. Zhou Yunyi was no longer willing to see the Queen Mother, and there was no choice but to agree.
Although Xiao Chengze won't kill her for a while, but in the deep palace, how can she be careless?
The location of Shoukang Palace can be said to be the cleanest place in the palace, and the sound of the little palace maid and eunuch can occasionally be heard in other places, but the surrounding of Shoukang Palace can not be heard at all.
Zhou Yunyi adjusted his mentality and was ready to return to the queen mother, but he didn't expect to be directly blocked out of the door.
Xue'er, the palace maid in the Empress Dowager's palace, stretched out her arm, blocked in front of Zhou Yunyi and said, "It's unfortunate that the queen mother came, the queen mother, she just fell asleep, please stay in the courtyard later."
The palace maid's demeanor seems to be respectful, but in fact, there is a hidden arrogance and pride.
Zhou Yunyi lightly pursed his lips and said, "It's okay."
Obviously, the Queen Mother called her over, the time for her to change her clothes, plus the time of the journey, was just a stick of incense, how could she fall asleep at this juncture so coincidentally, it was obvious that she was deliberately giving her a dismount.
Sure enough, mothers-in-law in the world are the same, whether it is good or bad, the daughter-in-law has to press the daughter-in-law when she enters the door.
The Queen Mother is not Xiao Chengze's biological mother, Xiao Chengze's biological mother died of illness as early as when he was young.
Today's queen mother is just a little nobleman when she was the first emperor, because she took care of the young Xiao Chengze, so Xiao Chengze made her the queen mother after becoming the emperor.
Zhou Yunyi was under the strong sunlight, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Zhou Yunyi took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe off the sweat, and then stared at the aqua blue handkerchief in his hand, lost his mind for a long time.
Since returning to the palace, I haven't seen Xiao Erlang again, and if I have the opportunity to meet him again, I must repair him well. If it weren't for him, I'd be happy a long time ago.
Zhou Yunyi waited for a while, but seeing that the Queen Mother still had no intention of summoning her, she simply stopped standing in the courtyard and waiting.
The queen mother's main hall can't enter, so enter this Shoukang Palace, other rooms.
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Zhou Yunyi walked directly into a small room next to him, and it should be a small room for palace maids and eunuchs on duty.
The area is only about seven or eight square meters, the space is small, but it is quite tidy.
Zhou Yunyi sat on the wooden stool in the room. Xiao Cui saw that there was a pu fan with a hole in the house, and took it to fan Zhou Yunyi, so that she could be cooler.
"How can the queen mother come to such a scary place." Xue'er hurriedly knelt in front of Zhou Yunyi, wanting to ask Zhou Yunyi out.
Xue'er has been in the palace for five years, and she knows all the rules by heart.
The queen mother asked the queen to wait in the courtyard, even if there was a deliberate intention to make things difficult, it was nothing to spread out, in the final analysis, the queen mother was an elder, and the emperor and queen had to pay tribute to three points.
But the queen rested in the fingertip room of the palace maid and eunuch, and it would not be good if this matter was spread.
When the queen of the dynasty is a daughter, when they come to this kind of place, they will be subordinates, if they are not discouraged, they will lose their heads in the future.
Looking at the little palace maid who was very proud just now, now she knelt in front of her in a panic, and Zhou Yunyi's evil taste arose.
"Xiaocui, put down the pu fan, you go out and wait."
Xiao Cui has followed Zhou Yunyi for many years, so she naturally understands what this means, and when she goes out, she closes the door of the room, and then guards in front of the door to prevent others from approaching.
"Here you go." Zhou Yunyi said lazily to Xue'er.
When Xue'er heard this, she immediately picked up the broken pu fan and fanned Zhou Yunyi.
Zhou Yunyi scolded: "Didn't you eat? I don't have any strength in my hands. ”
Cher had no choice but to step up.
In fact, the main reason why there is no wind is because the hole in the fan is too big, so no matter how you fan it, it is not very cool.
Xue'er shook it vigorously, shaking it until her hands were sore, but she still didn't dare to stop, after all, the master didn't speak, and she, as a subordinate, naturally couldn't stop.
Of course, Zhou Yunyi also knew that Xue'er had already slapped her arm pain now, but this was what Zhou Yunyi wanted, so that the next person would have a long memory.
Xue'er is a person in the Queen Mother's palace, and her every move is also acquiesced by the Queen Mother, and it can be seen from her behavior that the Queen Mother is not very satisfied with herself.
I don't know how long it took to go, but someone finally came to spread the word, saying that the Queen Mother had woken up, and Zhou Yunyi calmly got up and walked towards the Queen Mother's main hall.
In the main hall of the Queen Mother's bedroom, there is a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman sitting on the Huanghuali chair, although her face is already covered with fine lines, but it can be seen that she was a white beauty when she was young.
"Concubine, please say hello to the Queen Mother." Zhou Yun saluted.
"Get up and sit down!"
"Concubine, Empress Dowager Xie."
