The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 91 Play
That night, An Jin couldn't sleep at night.

She is not stupid, she knows why Concubine Hui pointed her to Yuqian during the summer vacation - because the empress dowager was in the palace at Mount Ying, and because the empress dowager had reprimanded concubine Hui for the selection.Concubine Hui's pointing out her family members this year is equivalent to expressing her attitude to the Empress Dowager, proving that she has worked hard, and it is His Majesty's business that His Majesty despises.

But at the same time, she also understood that Mrs. Hui really hoped that she would conform to the holy will.

Otherwise, Mrs. Concubine Hui would not have told her so much before letting her come, and told her His Majesty's likes and dislikes; nor would she have treated her so well. From Mrs. Hui's own case, give it to her.

But to put it another way, Mrs. Hui only hoped that she would be in line with the holy will, and she didn't say she must—she didn't persuade her to do anything on her own initiative, and she didn't help her with any preparations before and after she arrived, otherwise she would Not even in front of His Majesty.

Thinking of this, An Jin felt somewhat bored.

Chen Jijiang is obviously acting based on winks.That night, Lan Xin, who was the most embarrassing lady in front of Concubine Hui, took her up to the third floor of the post house and handed her over to Chen Jijiang. Chen Jijiang let her serve tea without saying a word, but after that, there was no Concubine Hui With the help of some people, she was never able to approach His Majesty again.

It was also a coincidence that day.

She didn't know the girl in the room, but she took a look at the lion and knew it must be the imperial dining lady—not everyone in the imperial court can get a lion to raise.So even though she knew that it was against the rules, she took the risk and greeted the royal dining lady.

The sentence "Don't take offense, female officer. The maidservant, An Jin, is with Concubine Hui." It sounded short, but in fact, she was so scared that her legs were limp.While hoping to make His Majesty look at her with one word, at the same time, I hope His Majesty will not care at all - because she has another idea, which is much safer than letting His Majesty directly notice her disorder.

She wants the kitchen maid to notice her and pave the way.

She heard the rumors in the palace.The rules in Concubine Hui's Roujia Palace are so strict, but even the people in Roujia Palace said in private that His Majesty's heart is on Ruan Shi, the imperial catering lady—the first time she heard this, she thought for a moment, He felt that it would be great if he could make friends with this Ruan family, maybe it would be better than gaining face in front of Concubine Hui.Concubine Hui has the right to have no favours, and the right can be withdrawn at any time; but the Ruan family has favours, and it is not certain that one day they will be able to take over the power of the harem.

With this thought in mind, An Jin did not hesitate to break the rules and take that risky move.She should have succeeded that day.In order to make friends more realistically, she went to visit her yesterday. The roommate of the Ruan family deserves everything, but today it seems that is not the case.

An Jin sighed heavily, no matter how Ruan Shi pulled her to the side to talk today, he felt very aggrieved.

She clearly knew that it was intentional to keep her away from entering the palace, but no matter how anxious and unwilling she was, it was useless, she couldn't talk to Ruan Shi, she could only talk with Ruan Shi with a smile on her face.From where is the house to what kind of snacks are brought in, Ruan's traces of looking for words are too obvious, she even thinks that this is deliberately embarrassing her...

But so what.

The willow shoots on the moon, the people who were on duty earlier in Yuqian can also be regarded as resting.Your Majesty also worked hard all day today, and went to bed early at night without reading the memorial. The people on duty now are just like decorations.

While beating Chen Jijiang's back, Xu Shishui told him everything he heard during the day.At that time, he was hiding behind a big tree, and he could clearly hear the conversation between Xue Li and An Shi. Although the conversation was all irrelevant gossip, he still wrote it down seriously. Did not repeat it with Chen Jijiang.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Jijiang's expression with his head, and thought about it: "Master, what do you mean by this? Is Xue Li's previous stupidity just pretending? She already knows what His Majesty thinks of her?"

"You change the name first, you can't call her that name anymore." Chen Jijiang didn't even open his eyes, so he mentioned this first.

Xu Shishui nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes. Do you think Miss Ruan actually knows everything, so she doesn't want An to come to His Majesty to spoil her good deeds?"

Chen Jijiang still didn't open his eyes, twirling a string of sandalwood beads in his hand for a long time, then shook his head: "I guess it doesn't work that well."

Xu Shishui was slightly puzzled.

Chen Jijiang breathed out lightly: "I reckon...she has been in the imperial court for a long time, and she knows something, so she knows what Mrs. Hui meant by pointing An's here. Seeing that we don't let her in, I don't want to let her in." I don't want to cause trouble."

Xu Shishui thought and nodded hesitantly, on the one hand, he felt that this seemed more like what Miss Ruan could think of, on the other hand, he felt that it should not be so simple.

With his eyes still closed, Chen Jijiang calmed down and thought about something, and asked him, "I asked you to stare at An Shi, did you stare at him?"

"I've been staring at it." Xu Shishui bowed, and then he continued to speak consciously without the master's further questioning. Zisu said that she just left yesterday when she arrived at the palace, carrying some snacks, and said that there are people from her hometown in the palace. She came back before dark, and stayed obediently at night, not running around at all."

The sandalwood beads spinning in Chen Jijiang's hand stopped.

Xu Shishui was slightly startled: "Master?"

"See fellow countryman..." Chen Jijiang bit these three words and chuckled, "She has never been to the palace, how can it be so easy to find someone? Ordinary palace people dare not come to Qingliang Palace without authorization."

Xu Shishui was a little scared when he heard it, and he didn't know what kind of medicine An Jin was selling, so he hurriedly said, "Then Master thinks..."

"She went to find Miss Ruan. They are all in front of the imperial court. It is not difficult to find out where they live."

After Chen Jijiang finished speaking, he heard a sigh of relief from behind.In my heart, I ignored the problem of my apprentice's lack of root strings, but felt that it was good to have a lack of root strings.

Lest the disciple teach the master to starve to death.

But this deeper matter, he had to figure it out by himself.

Tsk...An's doesn't want to post Ruan's name, does she?

If that's the case, she's pretty smart.

Ever since Concubine Hui pointed An's over, Chen Jijiang was hesitant. Concubine Hui was different from other concubines. His Majesty respected her three-pointedly. It was inappropriate for him to reject someone.But if this person stays, he feels really uneasy. What he fears most is that she will naturally become hostile to Ruan with the thought of rushing to the dragon couch—this is not easy to handle.If there is no evidence of guilt, it is impossible to directly punish An Shi, but when there is evidence of guilt, the Ruan family has probably already had an accident, so that is also impossible.

He didn't expect An Shi to have such an idea.Hey, it's easy for him to go past Ruan Shi, what His Majesty thinks, and whether Ruan Shi takes over can be discussed later, and if there is no accident under his nose, he can take a good breath.

Chen Jijiang repeatedly touched this idea in his heart, as if there was a Tai Chi spinning, and he didn't stop until the black and white sides were evenly balanced.

He smiled comfortably: "Listen, if Mrs. An wants to enter the palace to serve, you ignore her and drive her away. But if Mrs. Ruan takes her in, you don't have to stop her."

"No." As soon as Xu Shishui responded, he immediately began to think hard about what kind of chess master was playing.

Chen Jijiang thought about it again, and relaxed the opening a little bit: "If she finds an excuse that she wants to go to the palace to see Ruan Shi, you don't have to stop her. Let her go in and see her. This girl is not stupid, no Like someone playing with fire."

Xu Shishui promised again, held his breath for a while, and gave up thinking about it for the time being--for a while, he would definitely not be able to figure it out, and he would go back to his room and lie down to think about it!

After being busy for half a month, Xie Zhao felt a little more relaxed.

The two vassal kings with different surnames went back to their respective lands, and they were both very respectful, and there was no sign of disagreement.In the meantime, he took a little risk and said that he could give them military power and let them guard one side safely. The two of them knelt down in fear and fear, repeatedly expressing that they did not dare to ask for it, and that it would be fine if the generals of the imperial court guarded it.

This shows that he didn't miss it, which is good.

After Panasonic's strength, he inevitably became a little playful, wanting to relax in this beautiful mountain and river.Someone went to ask the seventh brother to ride a horse together, and the man came back after a while and said that Yi Fengyi was not in a good mood recently, and the seventh king wanted to stay with her.

The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that the seventh brother, you are so promising!Once they become pregnant, they will tie you up and make you unable to leave?A dignified man...

But he can't force him to come if he doesn't want to. Traveling in mountains and rivers has to be voluntary.

That's all, if you don't ride a horse, don't ride a horse, just go for a walk with the lion.

So the emperor calmly called Xueli, and ordered Yang Mingquan to bring the fragrance of fish.

Half an hour later, Xueli stared dumbfounded at Yuxiang having fun in the forest...

It runs really fast, and it is the same color as the land. It disappears as it runs, and then suddenly bursts out from a grass pile or bushes.When I saw a tree with a suitable angle and climbed it to play, I could always judge which branch was strong very accurately, and then I lay down on it and looked at them like a show of strength.

Isn't it just bullying them not to go up!
Xueli stood under the tree and stared at Yuxiang, while Xie Zhao laughed beside him.After Yu Xiang got off the tree and went to play elsewhere, he just sat down under the tree just now, and pointed to the side: "Sit for a while?"

It means to ask.But Xueli was also tired, so she didn't care whether the floor was dirty or not, and sat down a foot away from him.He was leaning against a tree, and she was leaning against a rock behind her. For a moment, it seemed that no one knew what to say.

It was very quiet for a while, Xie Zhao smiled shortly: "Do you like to come out to play?"

"Yeah!" Sydney nodded.

He smiled again: "It's time to take you out for a walk. If you are not afraid, you can also ride a horse."

Sydney was a little surprised, and then wanted to say "I'm not afraid, but I won't".Feeling her shoulders sink at the same time, she shouted without raising her head: "Yuxiang!!!"

Yu Xiang stood on the stone, her claws resting on her shoulders, her head was a bit higher than hers, she was looking ahead and panting excitedly, panting so hard!
"Come down!" Xueli yelled at it, too lazy to move.Yu Xiang ignored it, and continued to look at the scenery from her height.

Xie Zhao looked at it with a smile for a while, then smiled slightly, got up and hugged Yuxiang down.

He sat back, Yuxiang rolled between the two of them, and then sat there looking at Sydney with dark eyes.

Xueli glanced at it in disgust: "I don't want to touch you, it's all dirt! Dirty lion!"

Yu Xiang didn't understand, she tilted her head and waited for a while, but when she couldn't get her wish, she got under her hand by herself.Xueli dodged it with an exaggerated expression. It was startled for a while as if it understood a little. It drooped its head for a while, then turned to look for Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao put on a look of "I don't dislike you" cooperatively, and stroked Yuxiang from the beginning to the end.

Then fuck Sydney who is sitting... I feel that I am disgusted!

With a bitter face, she moved closer, and she also reached out to touch the scent of the fish.Carefully stepping out of step with the emperor, he touched the head and she just touched the end, and when he touched the end, she turned back and started from the beginning.

This time Yuxiang felt comfortable and happy, turned over her belly and lazily stretched her paws towards the sky, Xue Li glared, "You've learned to play your temper with me! You're like a child!"

"It's just a child." Xie Zhao smiled, rubbing Yu Xiang's belly, calmly, "It's wrong for you, a mother, to be angry with it."

Who is its mother!

Xie Li withdrew her hands and sat around her knees, her puffy look made Xie Zhao feel... It's been a long time!
The last time she was clearly unhappy, it seemed that she didn't know his identity.After arriving at the Zichen Hall, except for a few times when she was so emotional that she cried directly, she was always more or less hiding her displeasure at other times. Whenever he asked her what was wrong, she would smile openly, obviously to show him.

——Although she didn't hide it every time, it really made him uncomfortable to see her like that.Unlike the concubine in the harem, she greeted him with a smiling face, maybe she was trying to figure out something, she was just a little scared of him, and when she thought of Xie Zhao, she felt very depressed.

Even a little "wronged".For so long, he hasn't even said a serious word to her, and she is still trembling.

So today's situation made him very relieved.Smiling and looking at her "gasp", after handing it to her for a while, she couldn't help but poke her cheek, and poked her cheek while coaxing: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's not good and disobedient, I don't blame you, Ok?"

Sydney has a flat mouth.Xie Zhao's hand changed from poking to pinching again: "Why don't you let Xiao Quanzi teach it how to kowtow? Let it apologize to you?"

Sydney laughed with a "puchi".

Xie Zhao was still standing beside him solemnly: "It will definitely learn. Look at that day, when it went upstairs, it saw the palace man throwing an elbow at me and followed it. Remember to take you with me and learn to kowtow or something, it's a trivial matter!"

...Your Majesty, please let it go! ! !

Xueli smiled and rubbed Yuxiang's head: "Did you hear that! You study hard, or you will be stewed!"

"Yes, otherwise I'll let you find her little rabbit." Xie Zhao answered the interface just right, and the sudden burst of "previous love" made Xue Li laugh even harder after a moment's hesitation.

Yu Xiang flicked her tail and looked left and right, not understanding what the two humans were laughing at.

When I returned to the palace, the sun was already setting.Both of them were covered in sweat, Xie Zhao went directly back to the bedroom to change, and ordered the palace servants to take Xue Li to the side hall to change first.

Fresh water and handkerchiefs were brought, and Xue Li wiped off her sweat, changed her clothes and combed her hair again, and then opened the door and went out.

Xie Zhao had already ordered dinner, seeing that she had packed it up, he took her away and used it together.

After playing tired, I become very edible, and I am particularly greedy for meat.This meal was well used... Sydney seemed to only see meat dishes, the chicken wings, meatballs, and steamed fish on the table all became very pleasing to the eye, she ate very happily, Xie Zhao didn't care about her rules and let her Pick up any food, and even pointed out a eunuch serving meals to her side to help her, so as not to be unable to eat the dishes that are far away.

In fact, she didn't care much about the dishes that were far away, and the food in front of her was enough.

The eunuch who served the meals was called Wang Yanjun, who had just been transferred to Yuqian not long ago. After a long training, he was able to do his job well, and he was good at serving food.But in fact, people are not smart. Seeing the way of eating Sydney, he was immediately dumbfounded: Didn't it say that there is a rule that each dish can only eat three bites when accompanied by a concubine? !

There are two meat dishes closest to her, one is Sixi meatballs and the other is steamed sea bass.Each of the Sixi meatballs was as big as a child's palm, and she ate the whole thing with rice, and then look at this steamed sea bass...

She had eaten almost all the good meat on the upward side, and there was nothing delicious about the remaining corners.

Then Wang Yanjun stared dumbfounded at her turning the fish over with chopsticks, ready to eat the other side.

... After all, she is the female official of the royal family, and she is very skilled in flipping fish.Turn it over completely, neither spoiling the meat nor splashing the soup.

Xie Li was feasting here, Xie Zhao saw that his appetite increased greatly, and the two of them were eating happily, when a sentence came from afar: "The Empress Dowager is here—"

"Cough!" Xue Li was immediately stuck by the fishbone and blushed.

"Sydney..." Xie Zhao hurriedly stroked her back to comfort her. After coughing up the fishbone, Xueli got up in a hurry.

"Go to the sleeping hall to take refuge." The emperor said calmly, she regained her senses and figured out the direction, and ran in quickly.

I'm afraid of the empress dowager!
Almost as soon as she stood firmly in the dormitory with her front foot, the empress dowager stepped into the threshold of the main hall with her back foot.

"Mother, Wan'an." Xie Zhaoxing stepped forward and bowed, the Empress Dowager glanced at him, and only replied "Yes".

Then the mother and son sat down together, sitting at the two ends of the long case.The Empress Dowager looked at him, glanced casually, and settled on the dishes on the right side of the table.

She frowned: "Do you have a good appetite?"

This speaks volumes.Those few dishes were all set aside, and there were separate bowls and chopsticks in front of them, obviously it was not for him to eat.

Xie Zhao followed his mother's eyes to look at those dishes, and immediately felt like being "caught in bed".He resisted not touching his forehead, leaned back on the chair calmly, and admitted leisurely: "Yes. I went for a walk earlier, I was hungry."

Xueli leaned against the door of the bedroom and listened without daring to take a breath. She folded her hands and looked up at the sky: "Amitabha! The empress dowager must not be here to cause trouble... right!"
