Chapter 216: This Morning Was Just a Whim
A little light of the morning glow was projected into the cold palace through the edges and corners of the palace like sharp ice cubes, and the Queen Mother was sitting on it.
Xue Yiyi glanced inside, and stopped in place, Han Xiaoxi was still curious, why didn't Xue Yiyi, who led the way, go forward?
Xue Yiyi originally thought that if Han Xiaoxi really didn't know how to do it, it would be okay to pretend to paint a scoop according to the gourd.
But on this huge palace, except for the maid beside the queen mother, I didn't see anyone......
How?
This morning tea is only drunk by Han Xiaoxi alone?
......
Han Xiaoxi took a deep breath, crossed Xue Yiyi and then took two steps forward, respectfully bowing.
"See the Queen Mother. ”
"Come, morning tea. ”
The queen mother ordered the maid on her side to move the tea tool to Han Xiaoxi, this is to ask Han Xiaoxi to make tea under the eyes of the queen mother.
Han Xiaoxi always felt that this matter was not so simple at all, maybe someone had informed the Queen Mother about herself and the Hou Ye, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have appointed herself to come to this hall alone in the early morning.
Hearing the sound of the collision of bottles and cans, Han Xiaoxi also played a small drum in his heart.
It had been a long time since he had gotten up so early, and Han Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel a little strange when he smelled the fresh breath in the air.
Han Xiaoxi knelt neatly like this, and Xue Yiyi also knelt aside, not daring to remind Han Xiaoxi out loud......
"Why don't you start making tea for a long time? Don't you look down on the mourning family and don't want to make tea for the mourning family?"
The Queen Mother leaned forward, and the phoenix crown on her head swayed gently, and the hanging bead curtain blocked her face, looking very luxurious, but a little more old.
"The Queen Mother, all the women in the palace know how to make tea, and the tea I make is no different......"
Han Xiaoxi thought about it, but still wanted to shirk the task of making tea.
"Since there is no difference, then call me to taste, this morning is just a whim, I want to drink the tea you made. ”
The Queen Mother held on to this point so straightforwardly, maybe she knew something.
Even if Han Xiaoxi remembered the steps that Xue Yiyi had just taught, this tea was not proficient, and the taste was not authentic.
She simply didn't pick up the teaspoon at all, her eyes were gloomy, and she looked very helpless.
"Girl, what should I do......"
Xue Yiyi tried not to pull his mouth, and asked Han Xiaoxi beside him in the lowest volume.
She can make tea, but she can't help Han Xiaoxi.
"Queen Mother, let me dare to guess what someone came to say to you, and deliberately asked me to come to have morning tea. ”
The Queen Mother has her own heart to control the overall situation, so she naturally understands the reason for this, and she looks at Han Xiaoxi with a relieved face.
This woman is really not an idle person, just a few words like this, it can be seen that she knows how to weigh the pros and cons, anyway, she has been caught by the fox's tail, so she simply lifted her skirt and showed it to the Queen Mother.
This straightforwardness and frankness is really the type that the Queen Mother likes.
"Yes, so what?"
The Queen Mother propped her elbows on the armrests of the bench and asked Han Xiaoxi with interest.
"...... The air in this house is not well ventilated, and it is inevitable that it will be a little boring, why don't I accompany you to the garden?"
Han Xiaoxi: Is this a broken can?
Without the permission of the Queen Mother, he stood up, walked forward respectfully, and went down the long steps to meet the Queen Mother.
"Girl......"
Xue Yiyi and the maid beside the Queen Mother all wanted to follow, but the Queen Mother smiled confidently and calmly and waved her hand.
He also signaled to the maid on the side, and removed the phoenix crown on his head, just wearing a gold hairpin and jade bracelet, and there was a little white silk on his meticulous sideburns, which was indeed a little old.
"Let's go. The Queen Mother said, and with the support of Han Xiaoxi, the two went out together.
The afterglow of the early morning was faint, and the high wall had just been reflected a little brightly, and the Queen Mother said as she walked.
"You get the idea. ”
"What does the Queen Mother mean?"
Han Xiaoxi was afraid that he would step on the thunder, so he would find out the meaning of the Queen Mother before he was willing to answer.
This cautious discourse technique is not an ordinary woman, which makes the Queen Mother a little suspicious.
"You are not a person in this palace, where did you come from?"
When Han Xiaoxi heard this, his heart inevitably trembled, it turned out that he ......
The Queen Mother doubted her identity.
After all, she is not a girl from the Zhen family at all, and she does not belong to this world at all, the Queen Mother may have sent someone to investigate herself, but she couldn't find any evidence that matched.
"Back to the Queen Mother, she is just a wild girl in the countryside, and she has some fate with the son of the Zhen family, and she is later recognized as a distant relative. ”
"You are so bold, dare to deceive your superiors and subordinates!"
The Empress Dowager's roar, ordinary people have long been scared, but Han Xiaoxi still supported the Empress Dowager steadily, and had no intention of retreating and kneeling at all.
This indifferent appearance is really fundamentally different from ordinary slaves.
"Queen Mother, you dissipate your anger, I didn't know that you were such a reasonable person, I should have made it clear to you a long time ago before you reused me. ”
Han Xiaoxi said slightly apologetically, his expression was as light as the breeze as always, and the two walked slowly into the garden together.
"Why aren't you afraid of me?"
The Queen Mother held the golden cane in her hand and looked at Han Xiaoxi.
The eyes were a little sharper than the emperor's, Han Xiaoxi was a little dodgy, and explained in a low voice.
"You deliberately didn't let the maid come with you, didn't you just want to let me go? After all, I still have the value of use, it doesn't matter where I come from, the important thing is that I can be used by you, I can help you deal with some tricky affairs in the palace, and there is no bad heart against you at all. ”
Han Xiaoxi gave her full analysis, and the Queen Mother was relieved, she really didn't see the wrong person.
She deduced her intentions from a single act alone.
"I'll just say that you understand very well, but this deep palace is like this garden, competing for beauty, but you never know when the rain will hit the plantains, until they fall into mud. When spring goes to autumn, there will be no trace. ”
The Queen Mother is reminding Han Xiaoxi that this trip may be more dangerous than imagined.
"There is always a bloomer in the garden, and if it does not become the most flowery flower, it will inevitably drown in the flowers, which is the fate of the incompetent. ”
Although Han Xiaoxi's words were a little hazy, it also made the Queen Mother understand that Han Xiaoxi prides himself on not being the weak and incompetent, but the most gorgeous branch of this branch, and he will definitely succeed immediately.
"But it's always the most beautiful flower in the garden, isn't it?"
The Queen Mother breathed in the morning air, and the earthy fragrance contained bursts of different floral fragrances, and the rich fragrance was refreshing, but it was in stark contrast to the heaviness of the conversation.
Han Xiaoxi leaned down and uprooted a peony.
"It's very easy to destroy this peony. For me, uprooting is so easy. It takes months for it to grow, and I destroy it......"
Han Xiaoxi seemed to be inadvertent, and dropped the peony under the shoe, and the peony petals hit the steps of the bluestone slab heavily, and then were repeatedly crushed by the delicate and elegant sole.
Mixed with the power of the mist, the petals were not only crushed into broken clay, but also into fine powder, which drifted away without a trace in the clear breeze......
Only the mottled red traces remained, left on the bluestone slab.
"And this trace?"
The Queen Mother doesn't like to drag things out, and she doesn't even want to have a trace of it.
"All it takes is a rain from the sky, Queen Mother, what do you say?"
The rain that Han Xiaoxi said was rained by the Queen Mother.
When the drops of water are coming, they will wash away all the remaining traces, and when a heavy rain is over, it will only be a few wet days, and after a few days no one will remember what the heavy rain has washed away.
Just like the cleansing of the forces in this palace.
"You're right. Since you've thought it through, I won't interfere much, and I won't pursue your past, but this matter only needs to be successful or defeated. ”
The Queen Mother admired her more than she doubted, and she wanted to see how this foreign wild girl stirred the backwaters of the harem.
"Okay, but does the Queen Mother know something, so she specially called me for morning tea?"
Han Xiaoxi just asked tentatively, and didn't know if the Queen Mother had any news.
But......
The Queen Mother was really deceived by Han Xiaoxi.
"Do you even see that? It's amazing. Regarding Concubine Zhen, she is now under Concubine Jia.
I originally asked Concubine Jia to take you into the palace, so that you could contact her without leaving a trace. But I didn't expect that Jia Guifei's prejudice was quite deep, and she didn't want you to enter the door at all, this line can only be clearly drawn, she is now renamed Yuyao, and let your maid receive orders from me later. ”
"Concubine Zhen?"
Han Xiaoxi had only heard the news from Xuan Mo before, but when the Queen Mother really said it in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart.
"Okay, there are ears everywhere in this palace, let's enjoy the flowers earlier. ”
The Queen Mother followed Han Xiaoxi all the way to the depths of the flowers......
When Han Xiaoxi came back from the Queen Mother, she should have been annoyed and crying, but she didn't expect her beaming appearance to lift the roof together.
Holding Xue Yiyi's swaying, he almost didn't shake Xue Yiyi's brain melon kernels into a mixture of milk tea and pearls.
"Girl, girl, you...... Will you let me go?"
Xue Yiyi is really helpless, the steady and generous master on weekdays, I don't know what kind of madness he is smoking.
If you are good, you will be stupid.
Prince Yu didn't have any special duties, he sat in the house all day, and when he heard Han Xiaoxi's crazy scream, he hurriedly came up to see ......
"What are you doing here?"
"Cook and go!"
Xue Yiyi was stunned, and Wang Ye Yu really turned around and left, touching his nose and cooking.
