Li Zhaoyuan was inconvenient to bother her during her illness, so Mu Jieyu's Chengxin Hall became Xixian's frequent place. On weekdays, Mu Jieyu often took care of Wu Meiren's daily life, and she gradually became acquainted with Wu Meiren.

In the afternoon, Xixian and Fantao brought some delicately baked snacks to Wu Meiren's Rouyi Pavilion. In the pavilion, there was only one court lady quietly packing up the decorations that Wu Meiren got tired of throwing everywhere.

"Is your beauty still taking a nap?" Xi Xian picked up the jade stone at her feet and handed it to the maid.

The palace maid said softly, "The beauty had a good time in the morning, maybe she is tired, please wait for a while, and I will go and have a look."

"No need," Xi Xian said in a low voice, "Let her sleep, there's nothing left and right, I'll just wait here."

After arranging the seats for her, the court lady continued to clean up the mess on the ground, countless beads of sweat oozing from her sallow face.

Seeing that the little maid was struggling, Xi Xian took the teapot from Fan Tao's hand and said, "Go and help her."

After the little maid thanked her in fear, she lowered her head to work in silence.

Xi Xian looked at this thin girl with pity. If a girl of this age was in an ordinary house, which one would not be the apple of her parents' eyes? Looking at the empty and deserted house, Xi Xian put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "Why do you always have a cup of tea?" Every time I come here, I only see you working alone, what about the others?"

The little maid replied hesitantly, "Sisters are all going to take a nap."

"Nap?" Fan Tao looked at the little maid in doubt, and frowned at Xi Xian. The palace has only heard that the masters take a nap, so there is no reason why servants want to take a nap.

Xi Xian waved at the little maid, "What's your name?"

"My servant's name is Yueling." The little maid replied timidly.

"Go and call all the palace people in this pavilion here."

Yueling didn't know Xixian's intentions, so she asked Fantao for help timidly, Fantao smiled back, "Come and call, beauties have their own reasons."

The palace people stood in front of Xi Xian one after another, all with sleepy eyes, and some of them hadn't even wiped off their eye poo.

Xi Xian glanced coldly at the palace people standing in a row and said, "Who are you in charge now?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, no one answered, and finally an elderly maid came out and replied, "Since the emperor dispatched the maid in charge to the violent room, no one has been sent to replace her.

Xi Xian lowered her eyes, thinking that Li Zhaoyuan was still ill and had no time to take care of this matter.

"Even if there is no one in charge, you should still abide by your duties. If the emperor knows that you are so neglectful of beauties, why don't you all be sent to the violence room!"

As soon as he heard the people in the violence palace trembling and kneeling together, Xi Xian's original intention was just to frighten them, but seeing that the effect was achieved, he didn't show any more power.

"I will forgive you this time. If there is another time, I will definitely tell Mistress Zhaoyuan to punish you severely. From today onwards, this little palace maid, Yueling, will be your maid in charge. I will invite Mistress Zhaoyuan later. The handbook has settled this matter, who among you has any objections?"

It was lucky to be able to escape the punishment, even if there were some dissatisfied among the palace people, they did not dare to raise it in front of Xi Xian.Only Yueling said almost in a tearful voice, "This servant is too young to be a maid in charge."

Xixian stepped forward and pulled up Yueling and said, "Whether you can be a steward or not has nothing to do with your age. Fantao in my house is not a few years older than you. As long as you treat your beauty sincerely, you can be a beauty."

After hearing her words, Yueling looked at the elderly palace servant next to her in embarrassment, guessing Yueling's scruples, Xi Xian said again, "I will lend you Fantao for a few days, and let her teach you?"

Yueling looked at the smiling Fantao, and finally reluctantly agreed.

"Sister Xi!" Maybe hearing the voice, Wu Meiren ran out of the inner room excitedly, wearing only a thin layer of pajamas.

"Why did you run out without putting on more clothes? You're not afraid of catching a cold." Xi Xian stepped forward to support her, and while speaking, someone from the palace put on a generous cloak for her.

Wu Meiren said coquettishly like a child, "I want to see you earlier, did you bring me something delicious again?"

"Look at your greed, when have I ever come here empty-handed?" Xi Xian took the food plate, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Huh??? This is delicious." Wu Meiren said vaguely while stuffing it into her mouth.

"This is Furong Chestnut Cake, with some red dates and rock sugar added in, is it sweet?" Seeing her happy look, Xi Xian felt a burst of satisfaction.

After eating enough pastries, Xi Xian played children's games with her again. The two of them were having fun, but a shadow appeared at the door, and the visitor stood against the light, and the sunlight spread behind him to form a shadow. A circle of halo, like a god.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Meiren yelled and threw herself on Yuwen Haoxuan, entangled him tightly, it was more like a daughter meeting her father.

Putting down Meiren Wu, Yuwen Haoxuan said, "See who I brought to play with you today?"

"Xiao Linzi!" Wu Meiren happily grabbed Li Maolin's arm and shook it, "Take me to catch butterflies."

Yuwen Haoxuan gave him a wink, and Li Maolin took Wu Meiren and all other idlers away knowingly.

Seeing that there were only her and Yuwen Haoxuan left, Xi Xian blushed unnaturally, and the intimate images of that night flooded into her mind uncontrollably.

Seeing the snacks on the table, Yuwen Haoxuan picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, tasted it carefully and said, "I'm going to go out to inspect the palace in a few days, you must already know it?"

"Yes, Lady Zhaoyuan once mentioned it to my concubine." Xi Xian nodded and stood, trying to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

"There are very important things to do on this tour. I don't want to reveal my whereabouts, so I won't bring too many people. You choose a reliable person to serve, and you will wait at Zhangqing Gate in the next day. There will be a carriage to take you out of the palace. .”

"What does the emperor mean to bring his concubines on tour?" Xi Xian couldn't believe her ears. She was born in the palace, grew up in the palace, and finally married into the palace. She has never seen what the outside world is like. .

"Is what I said not clear enough? Or are you unwilling to go? If so, I won't force you???"

"No!" Xi Xian denied anxiously, but then she realized that she was a little out of control, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't believe it."

"Then you agreed?" Yuwen Haoxuan picked up another piece of pastry and asked, "What kind of pastry is this? I have never eaten it before."

"This is the ordinary Furong chestnut cake, but with some red dates and rock sugar added." Xi Xian replied with a smile, with a hint of excitement in her tone.

"Sweet but not greasy, very refreshing, let's make more and take it with you in the future." Yuwen Haoxuan's mood is obviously much better, I don't know if it is because of this refreshing chestnut cake, or because of the beauty's invitation.

"It's a little short before we leave the world. Can the emperor let his concubine go back to prepare?" Xi Xian couldn't wait to tell Xue Chun the good news, Xue Chun would definitely be happier than her.

Leaving Fan Tao in Rouyi Pavilion, Xi Xian walked back to the residence alone, wishing to fly happily along the way.The breeze swept the catkins across her face, and at this moment she felt that spring had really come.
