Gongmen Chunhan

Chapter 18 Draft

Lafayette was resting at noon, and Jiu Yue had nothing to do, walking around the door, and finally couldn't bear the monotonous atmosphere, so he sat by the door and dozed off.

After Eunuch Li returned to the palace, the two young eunuchs who followed him also came back. Xiao Guizi leaned next to Eunuch Li and said in a low voice, "Master, this servant saw those Mr. , the servant of Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Rites".

Eunuch Li took a deep breath. Hearing these names, he thought that the two beauties of Nalan's family would suffer in some time, and his heart trembled.

The three of them walked quickly and arrived at Chuxiu Palace. When they entered Chuxiu Palace, they saw a few people standing at the door, and Jiu Yue, who was dozing off against a pillar.

Several people greeted Eunuch Li when they saw Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Li kept silent, then tiptoed close to Jiuyue's side, calling "Ge Ge" in a low voice.

Hearing Eunuch Li's shout, Jiuyue, who had her eyes closed, opened them lazily, blinked her tired eyelids, and stood up straight, but she was hiding the airs of a master." came back".

"Yes, Gege will go to rest first when he is tired, and the slave will just wait here." Nodding his head, he said with a smile.

"No, I have to go to see the draft place later." After yawning, he put his hands on his hips, shook his head, and smiled soberly.

"By the way, Prince Rui asked the servant to bring you a vase, saying that this flower arrangement is the most suitable. If there is still any shortage, please send someone to pass the message." Backing up and making way, the little eunuch on the side came up with the vase, and every step he took They are all careful for fear of breaking.

"The color is really good, it's a pity to arrange the flowers." Without any pity, he took the vase and looked around, sighed, wondering if this person had too much money and no place to use it, so he took it here and squandered it.

"Ge Ge, this servant has something to say, Prince Rui is good to Ge Ge, Ge Ge don't show Prince Rui's face anymore." Eunuch Li knows that it is best to marry Prince Rui in September, so There is no need to get involved in politics, but it's a pity that Lafayette refused, so he had to secretly arrange and use Prince Rui's feelings for Jiu Yue to muddy the water.

"Send a message to Prince Rui, just say don't waste time on me, I hate him" came out with rare ruthlessness, and when passing by Eunuch Li, he pushed the Jingdezhen girl into his arms Ceramic vase.

Seeing that his temper came up again, Eunuch Li had no choice but to call someone to follow him, sighed, and handed the bottle to the little eunuch beside him to be sent to Yikun Palace.

Kou Liancai, who was serving in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, had been serving the emperor with fear since he left in September, but last night he was punished badly, and none of the servants who served him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was spared. Traces of being smashed.

The breakfast meal was not satisfactory, the lunch meal was not satisfactory, and he beat up the royal cook on duty and another. This made Kou Lian so miserable that no one in the imperial dining room dared to cook for the emperor.

Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor was dealing with the memorial, Kou Liancai hurriedly sent someone to send a message to Jiuyue, telling Jiuyue to come over no matter what, even though he risked being beheaded by the emperor, Kou Liancai would invite someone, otherwise it would be too late. The one who died was the servant of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Nine Palm Cases, this is the draft list for tomorrow. There are [-] in total. Please have a look at it." Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Rites handed over the draft list with a look of hospitality.

Who doesn't know the celebrities around Lafayette, one is Li Lianying, the second-rank supervisor, and the other is the third-rank Jiuzhang case. Eunuch Li is fine. It's the first day we have dealt with this Jiuzhang case. I heard from people in the palace that this Jiuzhang case is kind and kind. Well, looking at her like this today, I don't think so, I always feel like a master, and there is a hidden nobility, which makes people feel so hard to get close to.

Master Liu looked at the beautiful face under the red pimple, as if he lost his soul, he felt more and more beautiful, and the more he looked at it, the closer he became.

The clever little eunuch at the side saw that something was wrong, so he smiled lightly, "Master Liu, what are you looking at!"

There was a bit of coldness in that soft voice, as expected of Chuxiu Palace, and the one who followed Lafayette was very important, Master Liu who was on the side quickly recovered and smiled, "Just looking at the Nine Palms Case is so handsome." .

"Master Liu has won the prize. If you want to read the book, you might as well use this effort to find the [-]th beautiful girl." Using the fastest arithmetic method, she calculated that there is one person missing from the roster, and smiled. Also with some airs.

"Ah! One person is missing." Nervously, he took the roster and looked at it. I'm afraid it will be too long to count. The number next to the name is pretty good!

Seeing Mr. Liu who couldn't find anything wrong after searching for a long time, he blushed when he was in a hurry, turned his head in Jiuyue and looked a little helpless, and then moved to look at the place where it was arranged.

Master Liu, who stayed on the spot, pointed line by line with his trembling fingers. He was anxious and afraid, and he couldn't calm down for a while, and the anxious sweat flowed into three eyes.

After inquiring for a long time, I finally arrived at Shufangzhai. When I arrived at the gate of Shufangzhai, I saw the eunuch guarding the gate, so I had to ask someone to pass it on. Finally, I walked back and forth anxiously at the gate before I was allowed to enter.

When I entered inside, I saw a beautiful courtyard, many court ladies and eunuchs were busy, and then saw that there were many high-ranking officials busy inside, it seemed that it was all for tomorrow's draft.

"Nine Palms Case??? Nine Palms Case" finally saw Jiu Yue who was talking to a senior official, and then he let go of the stone in his heart.

Hearing someone yelling, Jiu Yue turned his head and saw Wu Zi, then stopped and waved to Wu Zi.

Master Liu, who was talking to Jiuyue, saw the little eunuch coming, and felt a little more relieved, and was preparing for a conversation later.

"Fifth son, why are you here?" Jiuyue walked down the platform and saw the fifth son was sweating on his face and panting, so he knew that he was leading him along the way.

"The Nine Palms Case??? Eunuch Kou asked the slave to come??? The slave??? The slave??" He couldn't breathe for a while, holding his chest and screaming.

"Come here, get him a glass of water" hurriedly called the eunuch beside him to serve tea.

Then he pulled Wuzi to a chair beside him and asked him to sit down. The little eunuch who came over with tea looked at Wuzi before handing the tea to Wuzi.

The fifth son didn't care about anything, and drank the tea as soon as he brought it. This is a rule that Jiu Yue was used to when he was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and now there is no rule.

After drinking the tea, he handed the empty cup to the little eunuch beside him, wiped his mouth with his sleeve carelessly, and laughed loudly, "It's much more comfortable now."

He started to let the little eunuch on the side go down, then he stood up straight, looked around, and then looked back at the fifth son, "What did Kou Lian ask you to do?" There was no kindness in the past, but more airs.

"On the day when Jiuzhang An was not here, Lord Long Live rewarded everyone with things. You see, this is all rewarded by Lord Long Live." Standing up and leaning on his face, the originally pale face became a little clearer. silt.

"Oh!" He replied without any sympathy.

"Long live Lord didn't sleep last night and made a fuss all night. The breakfast and lunch were not suitable. Now, anyone in the imperial dining room who dares to serve Long live Lord is afraid of being rewarded. Eunuch Kou asked the servants to invite Jiuzhang to go A trip to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after all, Jiuzhangan has a way to deal with Lord Long Live." The fifth son finally saw that Jiuyue's face was expressionless, more indifferent, and his anxious words became more serious.

"Didn't Long Live drive me out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation! What am I going to do?" Turning around with a slight anger on her face, remembering what happened that day, Jiuyue's heart aches and sorrows .

"I beg you to be a slave in the case of Jiuzhang, only you can calm the anger of Lord Longevity. If you don't look at the present, you have to think about the friendship between Lord Longevity and you in the past." The five sons saw that Jiuyue didn't make any statement , just walked in front of Jiuyue, knelt down, and pulled Jiuyue's clothes. He knew that it was very bad for Jiuyue now that the emperor lost his memory, but the two used to be so good. Is the relationship so bad?

"Fifth son, it's not that I won't go, it's that Long Live Lord doesn't want to see me. If I go, I'll only make him angry. You go back and tell Eunuch Kou that you don't want to come to me again. After all, many things have passed. "Let's go." Without any nostalgia, he strode past Wu Zi's side, and the hatred in his tone broke Wu Zi's heart.

"Nine Palms Case??? Nine Palms Case???" the five sons moved their knees and shouted, who would have thought that the kind Nine Palms Case would be so cold.

After leaving Shufangzhai in September, I originally planned to go back to Chuxiu Palace, but I didn't know that my feet were uncontrollably heading towards the imperial dining room. When I thought of the moment when the eyes of the Hall of Mental Cultivation looked at each other and felt tender, September There was a bit of fear and inexplicable heartbeat in my heart.

Squeeze the sleeves in your hands tightly, and after entering the imperial dining room, start cooking porridge. It is said that the eunuch is not allowed to cook meals, but this is not the first time that the case of Jiuzhang, Lafayette also allowed it as a special case, otherwise those who will be on the sidelines Busy chefs won't be so calm and busy with their affairs.

After preparing the meal, she asked the little eunuch who followed her to help her keep up. In fact, Jiuyue didn't hate the emperor so much in her heart, but was afraid that he would look at her with indifferent and gloomy eyes.

The little eunuch at the side asked softly, "Ge Ge, where are you going?"

"Yangxindian, I can't be so unfavorable, can't I" sighed, as if it was because of this favor that I went to Yangxindian.

"The slave will go back to Chuxiu Palace to report to Lafayette later, and Gege will go back later." The little eunuch was tapping on the topic, and his eyes kept looking at the expression on Jiuyue's face.

"Tell Lafayette, I'll go directly to Shufangzhai tomorrow." Thinking of Wuzi saying that the emperor didn't sleep last night, and making troubles all day today, Jiuyue couldn't help but want to go and see, she Heartbroken and entangled, in the end I still can't let go.

"Yes" the little eunuch accepted the expression on Jiuyue's face, then retracted his head, and responded softly.

He didn't speak any more along the way, and followed behind in a decent manner. When he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the eunuch at the door saw that it was Jiuyue, and there was hope on his face, "Jiu Zhang An, you are here." .

"Long Live Lord is there now" looked inside with a bit of worry, and said softly.

"Long live Lord is in Wujuanzhai, you have to go in and have a look at the Jiuzhang Case" asked with a bit of urgency.

"En! Don't make any publicity about this matter today, I'll go in and take a look." Turning around, he took the food plate from the little eunuch's hand, carrying it with a bit of weight, so that she could struggle.

The little eunuch nodded his head and then stepped back. Jiuyue turned around and stepped into the threshold towards the inside. Along the way, he saw a few faint smiles on the face of the little eunuch in Jiuyue.

When they arrived at the door of Wujuanzhai, Jiuyue Jiu heard that it was quiet inside, but it stopped making noise, but there was a little eunuch kneeling on the ground beside him, but it made Jiuyue laugh so much.

The little eunuch saw Jiu Yue coming in, and wanted to shout, but Jiu Yue made a gesture, so he didn't dare to make a sound, and retreated.

Annoyed to see that everything is wrong, looking at the memorial is full of boredom, throwing away the paper, leaning back "it's all rubbish"

A few curses echoed Wujuanzhai.

"Long Live Lord, the jasmine tea is not bad today. Do you want to drink the scented tea first or have a meal!" Jiuyue didn't have any smile on her face, she stood aside with a plate of food, and there was something in her cold words mind.

"Why are you here!" Instead of asking, he said in surprise, sitting up straight, with no other expression on his face except surprise.

"Lafayette asked the servants to deliver meals to the Long Live Lord." In desperation, he had no choice but to put out the words of the Lafayette. He stepped forward and put the plate on the desk, picked up the teacup and handed it to the emperor, "This is jasmine tea."

"Jasmine tea" was a little surprised, and took the scented tea with some doubts. The lid just exposed a little, and the fragrance of flowers lingered in the nose. After taking a sip, countless familiar images flashed in my mind, as if it happened somewhere This kind of thing is the same.

"Yes" answered, and then opened the delicate white porcelain bowl lids respectively.

There is a cup of jasmine tea, a bowl of white porridge, a bowl of sour radish, and a bowl of hot and sour kelp on the food plate. It is appetizing just looking at it. After the plate and the shape of this ordinary dish, it changes from the vulgarity. A little more refined.

After drinking that sip of tea, I felt a little more at ease. Seeing such a beautiful food in front of me, I didn't do anything anymore. I picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of white jade. In the middle of it, the appetite was aroused, and the other hand picked up the spoon and took a sip of porridge and drank it.

He drank a large bowl of white porridge in three or two sips, but he was not satisfied with the sight, so he licked his lips, feeling a bit dissatisfied, "Go get some more"

"Long live God forgive me, that's all I have to say." He stepped back a little and lowered his head, even though it was a word of forgiveness, the tone was still indifferent.

He burped, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and asked somewhat dissatisfied, "Aside from asking you to come and deliver meals, Lafayette has something else to say."

"No, Lafayette only told me to watch the Lord Long Live eat, and the servant went back and replied," walked up to cover the lid, fiddled with it, and then returned to the original place with the food plate.

"Tell Lafayette, I like these meals very much. Thank you, Lafayette, for the reward. I will go there later to say hello and thank you." The emperor still looked at Jiuyue, seeing that there was no expression on Jiuyue's face, and changed his previous smiling face.

"Your servant leads the decree. If there is nothing wrong, this servant will go back and answer." He nodded his head and tightened the food plate in his hand.

"En" replied softly, probably because Jiuyue didn't have any expression on her face, and felt a little more uneasy in her heart.

Seeing that Jiuyue was about to leave the gate of Wujuanzhai, the emperor called out, "When I go to pay my respects later, you can go back together!"

Jiuyue stopped walking, straightened her body, turned around, and nodded, "I know, I will back down first."

Kou Lian, who came back from looking for things, saw Jiuyue holding a plate of food as soon as he entered the door of Wujuanzhai, with a smile on his face, "Nine palm cases"

When Jiuyue saw Kou Liancai's cheerful face, she immediately relieved her embarrassment, and responded with a slight smile.
