Chapter 20: Dismounting

Xie Wan waited patiently for a while and still didn't see anyone coming, after thinking for a moment, he knelt down in a heart, and said loudly, "The slave maid came to Ganquan Palace to take office at the order of the Queen Mother." ”

Liu Fu passed the news to Xiao Mingze, Xiao Mingze slapped the table, "Since she loves to kneel, let her kneel, no one is allowed to pay attention to her." ”

Liu Fu opened his mouth to persuade but was glared back by Xiao Mingze, so he could only bow his head and say yes.

Tick-tock-tick-the water in the carved leak in the hall fell drop by drop, and in the blink of an eye, the day was in the middle of the day.

Liu Fu went out of the inner hall and recruited his apprentice Xiao Dezi, he stood under the corridor and raised his chin towards the gate of the palace, holding the dust with both hands, "What's the situation over there?" ”

Xiao Dezi shook his head while holding a cup of tea for Liu Fu, "I'm still kneeling, I just quietly touched it to see, and there was not much blood on my face." ”

Liu Fu couldn't drink the tea anymore when he heard this, turned around and entered the inner hall again, and saw Xiao Mingze playing by himself with a jade chess piece, his expression relaxed. Liu Fu took two steps forward, "Your Majesty, are you still kneeling at the door......"

Liu Fu didn't finish his words before he heard a sound, it was the chess pieces that were knocked the chessboard, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Mingze's eyebrows frowning, "When do you want to go and see it, I said that I would kneel with her." ”

Liu Fu plopped down and knelt down, "Your Majesty wants to punish the slaves and maids, and you have to finish speaking, in the end, it was sent by the Queen Mother, if you kneel down again, you are afraid of provoking criticism, speculating about Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

Xiao Mingze sighed, his heart became even more irritable and he didn't have the heart to play by himself, threw the chess pieces into the box together, and waved his hand impatiently, "Go and shout." ”

Xiao Dezi hurriedly arrived at the gate of the palace with a palace maid, and hurriedly picked up Xie Wan, while laughing with him, "A few people were sent to the palace this morning, and I didn't care about it for a while, and my aunt was offended." ”

Xiao Dezi gave the palace maid on the side a look, and the palace maid stepped forward to take over the burden in Xie Wan's hand, and helped Xie Wan to lead the people to walk in slowly, "The slave's name is Amber, and my aunt has everything she can command." ”

How awkward Xie Wan listened, although Empress Dowager Zhao said lightly just serving tea and pouring water, but this is something that only a first-class palace maid can do, and directly put Xie Wan in a high position.

The eunuchs in Ganquan Palace are naturally managed by Liu Fu and He Wen, and the palace maid is now counting Xie Wan's highest rank.

Xie Wan's legs were not very good, and it hurt like pins and needles when he knelt down like this, but there was still a smile on his face, "Don't be so polite, I don't have much older than you, and I rely on the grace of the Queen Mother to jump above you, this aunt really doesn't dare to be, so you can call my sister." ”

Xiao Dezi and Amber glanced at each other, and said in unison, "Yes, Sister Xie." ”

The emperor has more affairs in front of him, so the big palace maid in front of the emperor does not live in the ear room, but only a small room for two people to live next to the ear room, and the name of the emperor and the former palace maid should also have two according to the rules.

Xiao Dezi only welcomed people in and returned to Liu Fu's side, leaving only Amber and Xie Wan to introduce the situation of Ganquan Palace. Amber put Xie Wan's burden on the table, "Your Majesty should have 12 eunuchs and 10 palace maids around as usual, and the two father-in-law and sisters in charge already know, so let's talk about the palace maids." The original palace maid was driven out today, and the second-class palace maid had pearls, jade, and coral in addition to the slaves, and the rest were sprinkled and swept outside. ”

Xie Wan nodded, after listening to this, she was just here to serve the emperor, and the following things were naturally done according to the rules.

"Don't be busy yet, I'll clean up after a while. Amber, what kind of person do you say Your Majesty is? ”

Xie Wan reached out and pulled Amber and pressed her down on another stool, smiling kindly and her voice soft. Amber first refused, then sat down, and after thinking for a while, he replied to Xie Wan's words, "Your Majesty is extremely lenient and benevolent, but today I don't know how to have a good atmosphere. ”

Amber laughed again, "But Sister Xie don't be afraid, Your Majesty is not like this on weekdays, and Sister is delicate and clear, so naturally Your Majesty will not reprimand." ”

Xie Wan pursed his lips and smiled but didn't answer, and instead took out a small purse and put it in Amber's hand, "You can be regarded as helping me today, this idea is just a pleasure for a few of you to share the silver, and it can be regarded as a meeting gift, and we will take care of each other in the future." ”

Seeing that Amber hesitated and didn't dare to take it, Xie Wan stuffed it into Amber's arms, "As long as you do your duty, I don't want to make trouble with you." ”

Amber laughed at this time, stood up and made a half-salute, "Thank you sister for being kind to us, we naturally take my sister's words to heart." ”

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the wooden door, and both of them looked up, and Amber turned to Xie Wan and said, "This is a pearl." ”

Pearl took two steps forward and also made a half-salute, "Your Majesty called my aunt over." ”

After resting so well, the soreness in Xie Wan's knees has also decreased a lot, and after stopping talking, he stood up on the table, still very gentle, "Got it, I'll go over now." ”

Amber and Pearl looked at Xie Wan and limped outside.

Pearl turned to Amber with a suspicious expression, "This is the new aunt, looking at the harmony, but not as scary as the rumors." ”

Amber slapped the purse into Pearl's hand, "I'll only call my sister in the future." ”

Xie Wan from here also came to the inner hall, and Xiao Dezi nodded to her when he saw it, "Sister just go in." ”

Xie Wan smiled politely, then endured the discomfort in his knees, walked in dignifiedly, and saw Xiao Mingze kneeling again.

"Slaves and maids greet Your Majesty."

The brush in Xiao Mingze's hand was crooked, and he immediately dragged out an ink mark on the rice paper. Xiao Mingze frowned, grabbed the paper, and threw it on the ground at random, seeing that Xie Wan hadn't gotten up yet, he followed again

"What are you doing on your knees, and you can't go down to make tea."

Xie Wanying said yes, and staggered a little when he stood up, but he didn't show the slightest mistake when he walked out. Xiao Mingze stared at the back of Xie Wan walking out, his heart became more and more irritable, and after a pause, a large ink ball blurred on the paper.

Xiao Mingze silently threw the paper aside, I don't know how many pieces were broken, and Xie Wan came with a tea cup. Xie Wan respectfully bent down and held the teacup high, "Your Majesty, please use tea." ”

Xiao Mingze didn't look at her, picked it up and took a sip and threw it back into the tray that Xie Wan was holding, and said coldly, "How can you eat it so hot, redo it." ”

Xie Wan made another one and sent it over, Xiao Mingze tasted it and said it was cold.

If you do it again, it's either strong or light, in short, it's not right anywhere, and you can't drink it.
