The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 69 Cloak
Xue Li originally wanted to go to the small courtyard that night, first help clean up together, and then live directly.But when she arrived at the small courtyard, everything had been tidied up.

There was nothing in the front yard, but now it has been cleaned up, and some potted plants have been moved to the porch.Because it is winter, there are not many flowers to see in the potted plants, but since they are all evergreen trees, they also add color to the yard.

The first time I entered the yard, Sydney, I passed by once, and I knew that there were weapons everywhere, and there seemed to be books.Now I went in and saw that all the weapons placed outside had been moved into the house, and all the houses were locked.

The third yard is where the "commander" dragged her to take the medicine.The room where the medicine was placed was also locked, while the rest were open. Sydney wandered around, and the main room had all the furniture, obviously all new and just added.The wing rooms on both sides are for the palace people who came with them, and they have all the things, but they are much simpler than the main room.But when we entered the rooms on the left and right sides of the courtyard gate, they were all well-decorated. The stove kept the room warm, making the two small rooms feel comfortable.

The eunuch who was tidying up the bookshelves inside told her: "These two rooms are for imperial physicians and imperial physicians. Your Majesty said that they should stay here, but it is not suitable for them to be too close to the main house."

Well arranged!
Mrs. Lu herself lives in the east side of the main house, and Sydney lives in the west side, with a main room in the middle—similar to how she and Dou Sha live.When Mrs. Lu arrived the next day, she found out that besides her, twenty people had been sent here, fourteen court ladies and six eunuchs, among which six senior female officials were transferred from the Shangbei Bureau and the Shangyi Bureau, and the others were The people in front of the imperial court surprised Sydney that Xu Shishui also came.

All of them looked respectful, making Mrs. Lu look more serious than yesterday.

Helping Mrs. Lu into the room, she directly sat down on the couch. Mrs. Lu looked sleepy, and Xue Li smiled and said, "Ma'am, there are candied fruit just delivered, both sour and sweet, servant girl to get some?"

As soon as the words finished, a voice behind him reprimanded: "Where did you get transferred! There are no rules, so many words!"

Xueli looked back in surprise, and saw Xu Shishui beckoning the six female officials to go out together. He Jiao shook her hand and pretended not to hear the female official's words: "Do you have preserved peaches? I love peaches."

"Yes!" Xue Li responded crisply and ran to fetch preserved fruit for her.

In the shadow of the outer wall of the main room, Xu Shishui didn't look good on the six female officers, and chuckled coldly at the one who spoke just now: "These female officers are all senior female officers, and they are a bit discerning. That little girl, work Going back to work, if something goes wrong, my master dare not speak harshly, so it's not your turn to point her out."

The six people were startled and looked at each other. Si Zan Li from Shangyi Bureau said in a daze, "This is..."

Where did you summon the noble lady who came to accompany you?Or is there something else?
"Have you heard that there is an extra female official in the Zichen Palace?" Xu Shishui Dan watched the faces of several people change from surprise to surprise and surprise. After a pause, he continued, "Ruan's Xueli, that's her."

... thunderous!
All six fell silent.I thought that Xu Shishui had the most power in this courtyard, and the six of them discussed it, and the other court ladies and eunuchs followed orders, it seemed that the idea was too good.

Li Sizan made good friends with the female official of the Shangfu Bureau, and he knew better in his heart that His Majesty specially transferred a sewing maid for this Ruan family.Before that, let alone other female officials, the imperial court had never asked for a needlework maid!
After picking up the candied fruit, Sydney found that the atmosphere in the room seemed... different.

After most of the day, she found that she had nothing to do.

Other court ladies and eunuchs did the dirty work, and Xu Shishui and the six female officials had to make up their minds.His Majesty asked her to come, it seems to be just a decoration? !
The main thing she has to do is to ask Lu He if there is anything he particularly wants to eat, and then inform the imperial dining room.Other than that, the whole room felt uncomfortable watching her together, and when Lu He couldn't stand it, he would directly call her to talk to her, coaxing her like a little sister!
Then Sydney murmured in her heart.When Lu Heshi was having dinner, she hurriedly dragged Xu Shishui out, and asked him, "My lord...is it really bad for me to do this? But no one talks in the room, I'm really bored, why don't you I'll wait outside!"

When Xu Shishui heard this, he covered his mouth and laughed, and then put on a straight face: "Don't. Do you know what the imperial doctor said? Mrs. Lu was weak and depressed, and the imperial doctor was frightened, saying that she had never seen it before. Pregnant woman in such a bad situation. You, what should I do? It’s good to force Mrs. Lu to talk to you, and it’s even better if you can take the initiative to chat with her. I think His Majesty let you come because he thinks you are lively, or else..."

Xu Shishui quickly swallowed his words.He originally wanted to say, "Otherwise, he would be reluctant to let you not stay in front of the imperial court!".

Xue Li didn't notice that he suddenly stopped talking, carefully weighed what he just said, and then went back to the house sullenly.

Mrs. Lu's condition is so bad, then she must try her best to make her happy!
The dinner was directly prepared by the Imperial Dining Room, Madam Lu only ordered a refreshing cucumber.When Sydney went in, she saw that the dishes on the table hadn't moved much, so she ate plain porridge with cucumbers - she only took two or three bites, which showed that she had a bad appetite.

"Ma'am." When Xueli called, He Jiao raised her head, and she stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help her fill the soup, and said with a smile, "This fish soup is made by sister Awan, who taught me female history. Fish is delicious. Madam, try it?"

He Jiao took the bowl and scooped it up, but frowned, and smiled apologetically: "I really can't eat these. I also know that eating porridge alone is not enough, but other things... can't even be swallowed."

Look at the table in Sydney, there are all kinds of meat and vegetables, even the colors are very rich, it looks very attractive...

But she thought about it from Mrs. Lu's point of view, she was pregnant, with a baby in her belly and her appetite, so eating these might be a hassle.

She stopped persuading her and brought a sweet and sour short rib closer, saying: "This is sweet and sour, not fishy or greasy, Madam can eat some, if you can't eat it... this servant will tell the imperial dining room tomorrow Come on, make something appetizing!"

So the first meal was very reluctant, and from the second day on, He Jiao inexplicably began to have some appetite when he looked at the dining table...

The soy milk for breakfast is lightly ground, and becomes sweeter after adding a little sugar.A bowl of six small wontons was served, the thin skin could reveal the color of the stuffing, Xueli rolled up her sleeves, picked up the vinegar and poured it in with pride, and the vinegar was immediately fragrant!

Another fish soup was served for lunch, but this time it was fish with pickled cabbage.He Jiao still felt sick to his stomach when he saw the fish, but he still ate some with sauerkraut.

——This thing is really good for rice, a few slices of sauerkraut mixed with fish meat are put in a bowl, and when the rice is eaten, half of the bowl is unknowingly missing, and the whole room is filled with joy.

For dinner, Sydney served cold noodles and mung bean noodles, which looked more comfortable after making them.Mrs. Lu smiled when she brought it into the room: "It's been a while since I ate this."

"Servant help Madam mix it!" Xueli did her part, filled a small palm-sized bowl with two chopstick noodles, then added vinegar and a little chili, in case Mrs. Lu would find the sesame sauce greasy, so she didn't put it in, and then scooped a spoonful of meat Minced capers, and another chopsticks of shredded fish-flavored pork.

This fish-flavored shredded pork can be made differently on weekdays. It is less spicy and more sweet and sour.And put more crisp shredded bamboo shoots, so it is comfortable to eat sweet and sour.

He Jiao ate two small bowls in a row, and Xue Li was secretly happy.This bowl is not big, if she can eat four small bowls, it is almost a normal appetite.

Seeing her handing over the empty bowl after eating, Xueli turned around to fill it up again, but she stopped her: "Enough is enough."

"..." Sydney was dejected.

He Jiao took her hand and stood up, rinsed his mouth first, then went to sit on the side of the couch, pulled her to sit also, saw her listless, and said: "Thank you... I couldn't eat before, and I was in a hurry. The doctor said that if this continues, the child may not be able to survive, now..."

A cunning flashed in her eyes: "When he is born, let him thank you for saving his life!"

Although she knew that she was coaxing herself, Xueli was still in a better mood, let out a long breath, got up and said to her Shi Wanfu: "I will go back to the Zichen Palace first, and come back later."

"Go ahead and tell Your Majesty that everything is fine with me." He Jiao smiled and said, "It's cold at night, so add more clothes."

Xue Li walked back to Zichen Palace in the dark, not knowing what she was thinking along the way.Not far from the long steps, he sighed heavily inexplicably, raised his head, and saw the warm yellow lights in the hall reflected, and looked carefully, a figure stood with his hands behind his back in front of the hall door, as if he was looking at her.

She walked up with her head down, and said, "Your Majesty."

"Guess you'll be back soon." The emperor snorted, and raised his hand to hold her ear, "It's all red from the cold, but it's just right."

What's right?
Xue Li went in together with him in a daze. He walked to the side, picked up a piece of white on the chair and handed it to her: "Birthday gift. It's still a few days away, so you can wear it first."

It's a fluffy cloak, the whole body is white, Xue Li looked around and avoided her eyes: "Is it rabbit fur..."

Her memory of the rabbit is really deep!Xie Zhao smiled helplessly: "How many rabbits do you need? I beat a few white foxes last autumn."

Chen Jijiang held his breath beside him, silently feeling distressed: Your Majesty, you are so generous!

Those few foxes are not big, but the quality of the fox fur is rare to see, it is thick, soft and white.But even so, after more than a year of letting go, no concubine asked for it, not even Concubine Li who didn't have eyesight.

——The reason is that the process of His Majesty beating these foxes was quite thrilling.

The fox was frightened and ran quickly in the forest, and the road was not smooth. As soon as the emperor put an arrow on the crossbow, Ma Qia was stabbed in the foot by something, and he was thrown out in pain.The emperor didn't panic after a short shock, and when he rolled out with his strength, a few white shadows just passed in front of his eyes, and he subconsciously snapped the hanging knife.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh" Bai Ying didn't move after a few arrows went out, he let out a sigh of satisfaction, and suddenly raised his head to find a huge boulder next to him with sharp edges and corners!
Just now, if he rolled two inches to the side, even if his head hit it, blood would be spattered three feet even if he didn't die.

When the news spread, who would dare to beg for such a thing that almost caused His Majesty to bleed?
Then it was given to Sydney.Chen Jijiang pouted: She even mistook it for rabbit fur!Waste, what a waste!

Xie Zhao went around behind her, unfolded the cloak, and put it directly on her body.

Xue Li felt her shoulders sink, and quickly turned around: "Your Majesty..."

He happened to tie the tie around her neck again.

Sydney: "..." I didn't dare to move.

She seemed to be obedient when she was in a daze, so Xie Zhao tied the belt and was still satisfied. Looking at her, he stretched out the hat behind the cloak and put it on for her.

The hat was worn too far forward, and the fluffy fox fur slumped down to cover a part of the line of sight.Sydney raised her hand and raised her eyes.Originally wanted to ask "Does it fit?", but was taken aback by his slight start.

The moment her watery eyes were lifted up, Xie Zhao felt heartbroken—the girl in front of her was a head shorter than him, and was covered by thick white hair. She looked over with bright eyes, like a pink girl. Carved jade...

Bai, Tuan, Zi!
