The people haven't arrived yet.

Li Siqi already knew why they were here.

He immediately told the people around him to go to the small kitchen and prepare a few more snacks.

Since Xiaoyanzi likes these snacks.

She can't be stingy either.

after a little while.

Xiaoyanzi came to Kunning Palace.

"Little Swallow (the servant Ziwei Jinsuo) pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress."

They bowed and said, "Good luck to the Queen."

"Everyone, get up."

Li Siqi nodded, "Xiaoyanzi, why are you here at this time?

Is there something urgent?"

"Empress, Concubine Yu has gone too far."

Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but complain.

Pulling Xia Ziwei next to him, he said, "Look, Concubine Yu ordered someone to beat Ziwei.

Ziwei’s face was beaten like this.

How could she be so hateful?"

"Little Swallow, don't be rude."

Li Siqi showed a helpless look, "Concubine Yu is your elder, you are not allowed to disrespect your elders."

"What elder?"

Xiaoyanzi was full of dissatisfaction, "Who would like her if she hits people at every turn?"

"No matter what, she is your elder."

Li Siqi still warned, "You should be more careful in the future."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Xia Ziwei's face again, "Your face is injured.

Why don't you ask someone to apply medicine to her? She should stay in Shufangzhai and have a good rest.

Why did you bring people here?"

"There's no more ointment."

Xiaoyanzi quickly said, "Empress, I have used up all the ointment you gave me last time.

Now Ziwei has no use even if she wants to.

Queen, can you give me another bottle?

It would be bad if Ziwei got a scar on her face."

"For this minor injury, the ointment from the Imperial Hospital will do."

Li Siqi had to remind her, "Although the effect of the pharmacy I asked someone to make is better, it is not easy to make.

There aren't many here.

Since you have asked, I will give you another bottle.

If you ask for it next time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to give it to you.”

"why."

Xiaoyanzi was puzzled. "If there is no ointment, just ask someone to make it for you."

"Because this ointment requires a lot of good medicinal materials."

Li Siqi explained to her, "Besides, this kind of medicinal material is becoming increasingly scarce, and it is difficult to gather it together to make it.

It's a rare opportunity to get together and make it, and the portion isn't too large.

There isn't much left here.

If you come to me for it next time.

I really can’t give it to you.”

Then she instructed the people around her, "Yuqin, go get a bottle of ointment."

"Yes!"

Yuqin responded.

Turn around and go in to get the ointment.

"So that's it."

Xiaoyanzi showed regret on her face, "It would be such a shame if I can't use it in the future."

"If there is no quick effect, then there is no such thing."

Li Siqi smiled and said, "The ointment made by the imperial doctors is actually not bad, but the effect is slightly worse.

It’s not a big problem actually.”

“After using the good ones, who would want to use the mediocre ones again?”

Little Swallow muttered.

Just then I saw Yuqin taking out a familiar bottle.

She took it immediately, “Yuqin, give it to me quickly.

I'm going to apply it to Ziwei first."

"Yes, Grid."

Yuqin naturally gave it to her first.

Xiaoyanzi helped Xia Ziwei apply the medicine busily.

The golden lock next to it is really unbearable to look at.

Take it over quickly.

Xiaoyanzi looked at her expectantly, "Ziwei, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Well, much better."

Xia Ziwei nodded in response.

As soon as I applied the ointment, my burning and painful cheeks instantly felt cool.

And there was no pain at all.

This medicine is really effective.

Xia Ziwei immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for the medicine."

"You don't need to thank me."

Li Siqi glanced at her calmly, "You should thank your master.

She is willing to give you such a good ointment."

Xia Ziwei responded meekly, "Princess, you have been so kind to me. I am deeply grateful."

"Ziwei, there's no need to be polite between us."

Xiaoyanzi waved her hand and said, "We are good sisters, there is no need to thank each other."

"Xiaoyanzi, you are talking nonsense again."

Li Siqi shook her head slightly. "If your emperor heard your words that were so disrespectful and without distinction between superiors and inferiors, I'm afraid he would punish you again."

"The Emperor will never punish me."

Xiaoyanzi said as if it was a matter of course, "He said he allowed me to be free from the constraints of etiquette."

"The Emperor's grace is nothing more than giving you an excuse to avoid being hurt when you do something wrong."

Li Siqi pointed out: "It doesn't mean that you can disregard age and hierarchy, contradict your elders at will, and act lawless.

If you have this mentality, you will sooner or later get into big trouble and suffer a great loss."

"Empress, it's not that serious, okay?"

Xiaoyanzi felt guilty for a rare moment, so she quickly changed the subject, "Empress, I miss the snacks in your palace."

"Eat if you want."

Li Siqi laughed, "How can I be without a snack from you?"

Then he ordered the people around him, "Yuxuan, give the order.

Go to the kitchen and get some of Gege's favorite snacks."

"Yes!"

Yuxuan took the order and left.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Xiaoyanzi returned to Shufangzhai with a lunch box and a bunch of snacks.

"Ziwei, Jinsuo, please sit down quickly."

Xiaoyanzi beckoned them, "Let me tell you, the snacks in the Queen's palace are really delicious.

Come and try it."

"Xiaoyanzi, this is a snack given to you by the Queen."

Xia Ziwei's smile was a little forced, "You should keep it for yourself."

"Yes."

Jinsuo then said, "The Queen never said we could have some snacks."

"What's wrong?"

Xiaoyanzi didn’t understand why they were going to refuse, “The Queen gave me the snacks.

I can give it to whoever I want.

The Queen doesn't care about these things."

"This one……"

Xia Ziwei couldn't find an excuse to refuse.

Looking at the various snacks on the table.

A sweet smell wafts into the air.

Her stomach couldn't help but growl.

A hint of embarrassment instantly appeared on his face.

Xiaoyanzi was bold and shouted directly, "If you're hungry, eat quickly.

Are you blaming the Empress for not letting you have some snacks in Kunning Palace?"

Xiaoyanzi says whatever she thinks.

I didn't even realize whether I should say this or not.

"Xiaoyanzi, don't talk nonsense."

Xia Ziwei's expression changed slightly.

Although she did not grow up in the palace, she knew more about etiquette than Xiaoyanzi.

Especially those who have participated in the training of Xiaoxuan.

She was more aware of the huge difference between her status as a palace maid and her master.

Even though she never considered herself a slave.

Even if she regains her status as a princess.

When facing the Empress, her stepmother, she could only respect her and not be negligent in the slightest.

Not to mention having any complaints or disrespect towards the Queen.

Even though I was ignored just now, I felt a little uncomfortable.

She didn't dare to show it so blatantly.

"Then why don't you eat?"

Xiaoyanzi looked puzzled, "I'm so hungry that I don't even want to eat the snacks given by the Queen.

Isn't it because you don't like her?

I think the Queen is very nice.

She is beautiful and gentle.

And they are pretty good to us.

The ointment is so precious that the Queen was willing to give it to us for use.

Why don’t you like her?”
