Daqi Emperor's Concubine

Chapter 19 Makes a request for a separate courtyard and grants the Bishui Pavilion

"Okay, I sent him here. Because of what you wrote, and because you fell asleep on the dragon bed before I came here, it is enough for me to send someone to test you Yes, but it seems that your performance has not disappointed me, Shangshu Ban Zeyu's daughter, Ban Qingwu!" Qi Hongyi said after walking in.Looking at this girl who is different from other show girls, he has his own thoughts in his heart.

"Okay, now that your master has come out, then you go down! You wash your eyes with plenty of warm water in time, and then use a towel dipped in white wine around the eyes to moisten the eye frames, which can reduce the hot feeling, pepper Getting into the eyes will not cause damage to the eyes, but it can help you clean your eyes. As for the face, wet it with white wine, and then close the eyes for a quarter of an hour. After opening the eyes, the burning sensation will disappear. " Maba Qingwu saw that the real master had already come out, so there was no need to embarrass Hui Ying anymore, so he told him how to wash off the chili powder, and Hui Ying withdrew after understanding.

"Okay, Your Majesty, what else do you want to ask me now? If not, I will continue to sleep, because it is already midnight, and most people are already asleep at this time. So I don't want to waste my sleeping time!" Saber Qingwu saw that Qi Hongyi took out the piece of paper on which he had written before, and said so first.

"Well, you said you want me to give you a title, but you also said you want me to give you a separate residence. Do you know that if you want a separate residence, you must at least be there often, and you can always be there. You are already at the seventh rank of concubine, do you want to be a permanent presence directly?" Qi Hongyi asked, looking at Macabara Qingwu who had already started yawning.

"No! I just want a separate courtyard, so even if you make me a promise, I don't want to live with other concubines, because living alone is clean, at least you don't need door-to-door to start counting. And I never thought of getting your favor, for me, whether in the palace or outside the palace, the most important thing is to live a good life!" Macabara Qingwu said truthfully.

"Okay, if this is the case, then you can go back now, and I will seal you as a promise, and I will ask Li Shunlai to give you the imperial decree tomorrow, so you can live in [Clear Water Pavilion]!" For some reason, seeing Qi Hongyi suddenly felt a burst of fire in his heart for Ma Qingwu's indifferent appearance, and said a little angrily.

"My daughter, thank the emperor for your grace!" Saber Qingwu didn't know what Qi Hongyi was angry about, as long as she knew that her first purpose of entering the palace had been achieved, which was to live alone in one place.Moreover, this [Clear Water Pavilion] was built on the lake, and if you want to go there, you have to take a boat, so she has to use money to ask the guards in the palace to build a bridge for the road from the residence to this side, which is also convenient for the people in the palace It’s easier to walk when you go to the imperial dining room or imperial pharmacy to pick up things.

The next day, Li Shunlai came to the [Chuxiu Palace] with the imperial decree, and Ma Qingwu was canonized as a promise, and she asked the magpie to pack up, just like when she lived here before, she was carrying a burden just left.I took a boat on the [Bi Shui Pavilion], of course I feel very cool in this season, and this [Bi Shui Pavilion] was originally built near the water, so in summer, it will make people feel very cool, but in winter It should be colder than other places.

"Slave Xiao Xizi (Xiao Songzi, Xiao Linzi) has met the young master, the young master is auspicious!" Ma Qingwu and Magpie got off the boat and climbed the steps. The three eunuchs, who had been waiting for a long time, knelt down and saluted .

"Get up! Go ahead, Xiao Xizi, show me [Bi Shui Pavilion], tell me about the history of this place, how long has it been built? And I think this is the only place in the palace that was built like this , and it’s far away from other palaces, so it’s very quiet, right?” Maca Qingwu said as she walked in.

"Returning to my lord, [Bi Shui Pavilion] has been built for 130 years. Up to now, there have been four generations of emperors. Of course, it also includes the new emperor who has only been on the throne for half a year. At the beginning, it was Emperor Anzu who gave to Concubine Li who was afraid of the heat. It was specially built because it was built next to the water, so it will be much cooler than other places in summer. The reason why it was built in this way is because Concubine Li would vomit in a carriage and feel too shaken in a sedan chair, so even if There is a place to escape the summer heat outside the palace, and Emperor Anzu couldn't take Li Taifei there, so he thought of a way to build a residence on the water.

However, after the death of Concubine Li, Emperor Anzu was no longer there. After passing the throne to Emperor Xiangzu, from that generation onwards, no one lived in this [Bi Shui Pavilion], only Emperor Xiangzu would come here occasionally, and then arrived. The first emperor, he didn't like places with a lot of water, so he didn't go there much.It wasn't until the new emperor asked his father-in-law to pass the news yesterday, and also asked the three servants to come and serve, that the servants cleaned up the [Clear Water Pavilion]. "Xiao Xizi carefully explained the history of [Clear Water Pavilion], which naturally included when it was built, why it was built, and the current situation.

"Well, it's very good! No matter which room you live in, you can see the lotus as long as you open the window, especially now, it's already June, and the lotus has already bloomed, and the fragrance of the lotus is wafting over. It's very good Ah! The lotus is not only beautiful, it is said that the lotus is "out of the mud but not stained", so there are treasures hidden in the mud, which are those sweet and delicious lotus roots. By the way, Xiao Xizi, this [Clear Water Pavilion] should also have a small kitchen, right? Take me to see it!" Maca Qingwu pushed open the window and said, smelling the fragrance of the lotus.

"Go back to my lord, if there is a small kitchen, please go this way. In addition to the small kitchen, there are also study rooms and theaters here. Because Concubine Li likes to read books and listen to operas, Emperor Anzu built [Bi Shui Pavilion] At that time, a special stage was also built, but after all these years, of course, it has been abandoned." While talking, Xiao Xizi also brought Ma Qingwu to the small kitchen.

"Well, this small kitchen is fairly clean. I think you have spent a lot of time cleaning it up. You must have come early in the morning, right? There are two stoves here, which are enough for the few of us to eat. .But Xiao Xizi, are my rations all in the big kitchen? If you want to make food in the small kitchen, you have to pay for it yourself, right?" Maca Qingwu thought of a rule in the palace , so I asked.

"Back to my lord, yes! In addition to the regulations issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if the masters of each palace want to cook other dishes, or make other clothes and jewelry outside of this regulation, they have to ask for it themselves. The one who pays the money. My lord, walk over to the small kitchen, and within a hundred meters is the stage, and then you will go to the study and your residence, my lord, so come with the slave!" Xiao Xizi said, and took With mackerel light dance and magpie out of the small kitchen, because the small kitchen is only so big, it is almost enough to see here, and then it is better to look at other places.
