Stir up a pool of spring water
Chapter 59
The visitor was dressed in a pale pink palace dress, with appropriate makeup on his face, swaying as he walked, and was walking towards them step by step.
When she got close, she squatted down~ and saluted: "Xinying welcomes the emperor and the holy master."
Both Xuanyuan Qi and Han Jinli waved their hands to flatten her, Tang Xinying stood up straight, smiled and walked over to pull Han Jinli's sleeve, "Sister Jinli, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard you have Daughter-in-law? It should be the beautiful sister next to her, right?"
Han Jinli pulled back one sleeve calmly, pulled Long Xi over and introduced: "My wife Long Xi, and my daughter Momo."
Long Xi nodded to her as a greeting, while Hong Momo looked at Tang Xinying with her round eyes, and after looking at her for a while, she said obediently, "Hello, beautiful sister."
Tang Xinying laughed, squatted down~ and met her gaze, "Hello, little girl, if you grow up, you will be prettier than me."
Hong Momo smiled embarrassingly, her little face was flushed, but the narcissistic talent inherited from Long Xi has not changed at all, and she said modestly: "It's okay, I'm just a little prettier than ordinary children little bit."
As soon as the words came out, the other adults laughed, including Tang Xinying, who took out a lotus seed candy wrapped in oil paper from her purse and handed it to Hong Momo, "Please eat the candy, it's delicious, I will make it myself made."
Hong Momo glanced at Long Xi, saw Long Xi nod, then took the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed it into his little mouth and ate it happily.
The Empress Dowager glanced lightly at the two people, one big and one snacking on candy, with a smile on her face, but she was generally peaceful and introverted. She said softly: "Xinying is my adopted daughter. Simple, but I hit it off with this little doll of yours, and we can play together."
Tang Xinying stomped her feet in disbelief, "What Erniang said, she was just teasing the children, what do you mean playing with the little dolls? It's like I'm a king of children."
The queen mother tapped her forehead lightly with her fingertips, "She is a king of children, and she doesn't like to listen to others."
Although the words are so, but from the expressions and actions, it can be seen that the Empress Dowager loves this adopted daughter very much, and is much closer to her than to her own son Xuanyuan Qi.Or maybe it was because of Xuanyuan Qi's status as the ruler of a country, so she couldn't get too close to him, lest she be accused of meddling in politics in the harem.So all the mother's love was invested in Tang Xinying.
The surname Tang was the Empress Dowager's surname. Her real name was Tang Hao. She was born noble. As soon as she entered the palace, she was appreciated by the late emperor. She became the empress directly and gave birth to her son Xuanyuan Qi. She became the crown prince smoothly.After her son succeeded to the throne, she became the Empress Dowager, and her life went smoothly. It can be said that her fate was very good.
Judging from Tang Xinying's name, the Queen Mother treated her very well and personally gave her her surname.But she didn't give her surname Xuanyuan, firstly because she was afraid of outsiders making irresponsible remarks, and secondly, she was only an adopted daughter after all. In fact, her own son and Sheji Jiangshan were more important.Tang Xinying was not given Xuanyuan's surname because he was afraid of confusing the blood of the Xuanyuan family and because he was afraid that outsiders would influence the government.
Thirdly, in fact, the queen mother had the idea of marrying Tang Xinying to Xuanyuan Qi and getting closer. Anyway, the two are not related by blood. If Tang Xinying became Xuanyuan Qi's concubine, she could always be with her Left and right, you won't get married when you get old.
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Qi really didn't have this intention, the queen mother hinted it several times, but Xuanyuan Qi beat Tai Chi to push it over.But other empress dowagers looked down on her and were reluctant to marry off her adopted daughter for fear that she would suffer outside the palace.Come and go, Tang Xinying is getting older and older, she is already in her twenties this year, she is considered an older girl, but she still stays in the palace.For a while, many gossips were spread, but because of Tang Xinying's identity, these gossips did not reach her ears.
Long Xi had just arrived here, so he definitely didn't know these things. He just saw a red mole on the center of Tang Xinying's eyebrows, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Sister Xinying, is this red mole on the center of her eyebrows natural or painted? The president is long."
Tang Xinying smiled and said, "I was born with this red mole, so I was picked up by Er Niang, otherwise I would have stayed in the mountains to feed the wild wolves."
The Empress Dowager smiled lightly and said, "You are the only one with a poor mouth."
After laughing, I roughly talked about what happened back then.
It turned out that when the Queen Mother went to the mountain to worship the Buddha, she heard a baby crying on the road, and she followed the sound curiously to see what happened.I saw a baby in swaddling clothes crying hoarsely.He looks pink and jade-carved, with a little red mole between his eyebrows, like a boy under the seat of Guanyin.When she saw the queen mother, she stopped crying and started giggling instead.The empress dowager was overjoyed, she picked her up and brought her back to the palace, she was regarded as her adopted daughter, and she was brought up to her present age.
Usually Tang Xinying is in the palace, and her food and clothing are no different from the real princess princess. It can be considered that she has a lot of blessings. She was originally an abandoned baby, but she became such a noble person overnight. I am envious Many others.
Even Longxi was amazed when he heard this, and said that sister Xinying's fate is really good, but he can repay the Queen Mother for her upbringing by learning the favor.
Tang Xinying said with a smile: "That's natural. I plan to stay by Queen's Lady's side and serve her all my life. No one else can talk to Queen's Lady. If I get married, Queen's Lady can only I've been knocking on wooden fish all day."
The queen mother smiled at her and said, "Whoever likes to talk to you is like a little sparrow, chirping all day long."
Tang Xinying coquettishly tugged at the Queen Mother's sleeve and shook it, "The Empress Dowager is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. If you don't have this little sparrow, you will be lonely to death in the harem."
The Queen Mother smiled and patted her on the back of her hand, she didn't say anything, but there was relief in her eyes, obviously it was very useful.
Tang Xinying continued: "I saw my sister-in-law on the road just now, and she is about to come over to say hello to you. She must have been delayed by something on the road and she hasn't arrived yet."
As soon as the words were finished, a charming voice was heard, "Sister Laoxinying is worried, and I will be here soon."
A gorgeously dressed beautiful woman walked over, who looked about the same age as Long Xi, and after bowing to them, she took the initiative to stand behind Emperor Xuanyuan Qi, and said softly, "Your majesty, you haven't come to see me for a long time. Now, I met you in the Queen's Niang's bedroom instead, so it can be considered fate."
This woman is the empress of the current dynasty, named Yuwen Shuxian, she has been married to the palace for five years, but she has never been married, and she is also secretly worried.But Emperor Xuanyuan Qi has always been lukewarm towards her, and he made her a queen at the beginning to balance the rights of all parties, but he didn't have much true love.Therefore, Yuwen Shuxian's status in the palace has become more and more embarrassing in recent years. Seeing that other concubines have given birth to princes one after another, but she has never had one, she feels more and more anxious.
So he ran towards the queen mother more diligently, hoping to please the queen mother and stand by her side to support her.If it wasn't for the order that the Emperor lived in Zichen Palace, the harem could not be entered. I am afraid that she would have to think of a way to visit the emperor every day in Zichen Palace.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Qi saw her acting like a coquettish and angry gesture, so he just nodded lightly and didn't say much.
The queen was a little bit embarrassed for a while, but Tang Xinying was understanding and suggested with a smile: "It's the first time for sister Jin Li to bring her daughter-in-law to the door, otherwise we can take them around the palace. Although most of the scenery in the palace It is man-made, but it is also carefully built by skilled craftsmen from all over the world. There are also one or two scenic spots to see. Sister Longxi must have never seen such a large-scale building complex. Why don't you take a stroll with us today ?”,
Long Xi smiled and nodded, "It's so good, I'm really curious."
Han Jinli also nodded, anyway, she bases everything on her daughter-in-law's preferences, if she wants to go shopping, she will accompany her.
The queen mother smiled and said: "I won't be with you in my body. You young people, go for a stroll. Just remember to come to my place for dinner at night. It hasn't been this lively for a long time."
Several people nodded, Tang Xinying smiled and said: "I know that Queen Mother still likes to be lively."
Empress Yuwen Shuxian hurriedly said: "Then I will accompany the distinguished guests today, the Holy Master rarely enters the palace, so I have to entertain the emperor well.
This is well said, and there is nothing wrong with it.Han Jinli's status is unusual, she usually goes to the palace to face the saint, but rarely goes to the harem, and several concubines have never even seen her face.Although she can't control the affairs of the harem, there is no harm in being friends with her. On the contrary, it is a great thing to gain some face in front of the emperor.
Han Jinli could also see what she was thinking, but didn't say anything. There were no fewer battles in the harem than in the imperial court. Anyway, she didn't intend to participate, so let her senior brother have a headache.She just wanted Long Xi as a lady, but there were not so many troubles.
So Han Jinli brought Long Xi and Hong Momo, accompanied by Tang Xinying and the queen, plus a few maids and guards, and the group started to wander around the palace in a mighty manner.
Long Xi took Hong Momo's little hand and walked slowly, admiring the surrounding scenery while walking. Tang Xinying and the queen took turns explaining to her wherever she was a little interested. They were very enthusiastic and exhausted. The friendship of the landlord.
After walking through several famous scenic spots, a few people came to a temple door with colorful cloth hanging outside and a lot of embroidery.
Tang Xinying said: "This should be the Caiyi bureau in the palace that is responsible for tailoring clothes. I haven't come in and seen it before. I heard that there are skilled embroiderers recruited from all over the place. Outside, they usually wear The clothes are all from here. The place where the servants stay, if you are interested, Sister Longxi, you can go in and have a look outside, right?"
Long Xi smiled and nodded, "Look at it, I'm clumsy, I don't know how to do embroidery all the time, and I'm often disliked by Momo. Come in and see if I can become a better teacher, so I can give it to my family. Momo makes a shirt."
Although Hong Momo has no shortage of clothes, and there is an organization in Yunlu Palace that specializes in making clothes, which mother wouldn't want to make clothes for her children herself?Every stitch and every thread is filled with their painstaking efforts.
So several people filed in.
After walking inside, there was no peace and tranquility of the embroidery room, but a burst of depressing crying.
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, especially Long Xi, who was a little embarrassed, she was the one who suggested to go in and have a look just now, wouldn't this be the dark side of the palace?I've heard people say before that the battle in the palace is fierce, and it's a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.She just listened to it as a story before, but she didn't expect to witness it with her own eyes now?
The crying sound became more and more tragic, Hong Momo was a little frightened, and stretched out two small hands towards Long Xi, "Mother, give me a hug."
Long Xi picked her up and patted her on the back to comfort her, "Momo is not afraid, it's fine."
Hong Momo buried her head in Long Xi Xiangxiang's soft embrace and didn't mess around.
Empress Yuwen Shuxian's expression was a bit ugly, the Empress Dowager was in charge of all matters in the harem, big or small.It's rare to take a distinguished guest out for a while now, and I didn't expect to be bumped into such a thing. This is a slap in the face for her, the queen!
She walked forward quickly and was the first to enter the embroidery room. She saw a chief eunuch holding an embroidery needle and viciously piercing the fingertips of an embroiderer.
It is said that the ten fingers connect to the heart, and the ten fingers of the embroiderer are already covered with dense needles, so it is no wonder that she is crying like this.
Then Long Xi and the others also walked in.
Curiously, Hong Momo poked her head out of Long Xi's arms to have a look. When she saw the needle hole in the embroidered lady's hand, she was frightened and cried immediately, and said to Long Xi: "Mother, that sister is in so much pain. .”
Long Xi pressed her little head back and didn't say much.
The queen is the master of the harem, she is a guest, so it is not easy to say too much.
Seeing Long Xi and Hong Momo's reaction, the queen's face became even more ugly, and she asked sharply, "What's going on?"
The chief eunuch is usually in charge of the affairs of the embroidery room, rarely goes out, and has never seen the queen, but the palace master wears clothes according to rank, and the phoenix pattern on the queen is not something ordinary concubines dare to wear.
The eunuch hurriedly knelt down, and hurriedly explained: "I don't know that the empress is here, and the little one is welcome. It was the maid who committed a crime just now, trying to steal the embroidery from the palace and sell it in the palace. The slave is In order to teach her a lesson, and also to let other embroiderers understand the rules in the palace, she was punished lightly, as a warning to others."
Seeing this, the palace maid who was lynched hurriedly knelt down and cried and said: "The empress is aware that the servant did not steal the embroidery from the palace. I can't even get out of the palace gate. It's useless to ask for this embroidery. Yes. Eunuch Wei Rong is jealous of the young and beautiful maidservant, so he finds excuses to make things difficult for the maidservant from time to time. This is not the first time. I beg the empress to be the master of the maidservant, the slaveservant’s life is miserable!"
The queen glanced at the embroidered lady indifferently, and she was indeed born with a natural beauty, and her appearance was not inferior to her at all.
She was not happy at the moment, if she happened to be seen by the emperor, and she would be named a noble talent or something, she would have another competitor.
But now in front of the honored guests, it is not easy for her to show her jealous side, so she just said to Wei Rong, the chief eunuch, "You said she stole the embroidery from the palace, do you have evidence?"
Wei Rong hurriedly presented a picture of peonies, "It is this embroidery. This embroiderer is so bold that she tried to smuggle it out of the palace and sell it for money. The slaves discovered it in time to prevent the treasures in the palace from being lost."
The servant girl kept crying and said: "No servant girl, that peony picture was embroidered by my good sister and I, and it is not worth much at all. If the slave girl wants to sell the embroidery and can go out of the palace, why not?" Why don't you embroider a few pieces in private, and steal the recorded embroidery?"
What she said was well-founded, it can be seen that this embroidered girl should have been a knowledgeable girl before entering the palace, and she was born so beautiful, it would be a pity to enter the palace to be an embroidered lady.
The queen asked the chief eunuch, "Do you have any other evidence?"
Wei Rong faltered: "This... At that time, the court lady was stolen and obtained, and I think... this is enough evidence."
The queen looked around at the other embroiderers in the room for a week, and said in a dignified tone: "Is it stolen by someone? You tell the truth, and if you find a liar, you will slap your mouth twenty times."
Those embroiderers were terrified, and finally they all said in terrified way: "The slaves didn't see it."
There were dozens of embroidered ladies present, but no one agreed with eunuch Wei Rong's statement.
It is probably because he usually lynches these embroidered mothers at every turn, so these embroidered mothers are usually afraid and hate him. Now it is rare to have the support of the queen. They probably feel that the opportunity has come. Can they bring down this perverted eunuch chief? , in one fell swoop.
One of the embroiderers came out and said bravely: "The empress is very aware that the chief manager, Wei Rong, often finds excuses to beat and scold us, and takes pleasure in torturing us every day with a little power. The empress is in charge of us."
When Wei Rong saw this, he was furious at the moment, seeing him as a quail-like embroiderer, she dared to ride on his head, it was really unreasonable.
So he cursed: "Bold bitch, dare to spread rumors in front of the empress, I don't think you want your mouth anymore!"
The queen said lightly, "Did I let you speak?"
Wei Rong tremblingly said, "Emperor... Your Majesty, the servant is just teaching the lowly slaves who don't know how to behave."
Queen: "I'm here, when will it be your turn to teach me a lesson?"
Wei Rong: "That's right... What the empress taught me is that the slaves overstepped."
"If one or two say this, I still don't believe it. Since you are the chief eunuch and are in charge of the Caiyi Pavilion, it is reasonable for me to interfere too much, but today, it seems that you are unpopular as the chief eunuch. Still If you dare to use lynching, I don’t think it’s you who don’t care about the rules of the palace. You offended a distinguished guest today, if the palace doesn’t punish you lightly, I’m afraid you won’t be able to convince the public.”
When Wei Rong heard this, he was in a cold sweat. The so-called thin punishment in the palace has never been thin.
Sure enough, the queen said indifferently: "Wei Rong, the chief eunuch, used lynchings against the maids of his subordinates, and his command was not effective. Now, one of his fingers will be cut off, and the official will be demoted to a higher level, and the execution will be carried out immediately."
When Wei Rong heard this, tears and snot came out.
He was a eunuch, and he was originally a handicapped person, so he paid more attention to his body.I don't even grow a beard at ordinary times, and I don't want to cut my hair.If one finger were severed, it would simply kill him.
So he kept crying and begging for mercy, but the queen was used to the drama in the palace, so she couldn't sympathize at all. The eunuch's finger was cut off very quickly, and the blood flowed continuously.
During the whole process, Long Xi was afraid of scaring the child, so he covered Hong Momo's ears, and held her in his arms to prevent her from seeing.
But Wei Rong's cries were too loud, Hong Momo still heard a lot, and his little body trembled with fright.
After the eunuch had his finger cut off, he cast a vicious look at the embroidered lady who was tortured by him just now, and also the embroidered lady who came forward to accuse him just now.It is estimated that when the queen leaves, the two embroiderers will be in great trouble.Although Wei Rong was downgraded by one level, his rank is still higher than that of ordinary embroidered girls. If you want to punish them, there are many ways.
This scene happened to be seen by Long Xi, and she couldn't bear it when she saw the bloody hands of the embroiderer, and said softly to Han Jinli: "Husband, I... If I ask two embroiderers to give I can be a maid, can I? I see that they hit it off."
Han Jinli didn't know that her wife had an outburst of kindness again, but it was just two mothers-in-law, a trivial matter.So she said to the queen: "Why don't I let my wife choose two, she just married to my Yunlu Palace, and there is indeed a shortage of maids. I heard that the maids who can enter the palace have been strictly trained and are good at serving people."
The queen hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Naturally, whichever sister Longxi likes, just choose. It's rare for the Holy Master to ask me for a gift. This is the first time that I have encountered it. I will definitely satisfy you."
Han Jinli signaled Longxi to pick someone.
Long Xi handed Hong Momo to Xiao Hongzao to hold her, passed Wei Rong, picked out the two embroiderers she had just taken a fancy to, and asked them: "Are you willing to come out of the palace with me?"
Although the two embroidered ladies didn't know the identities of Long Xi and Han Jinli, seeing that the queen treated them with respect, they also knew that their identities were definitely not simple.Rather than staying here to be tortured by this perverted eunuch, it is better to go out of the palace, and the left and right are also servants for others, where is it different?A mouthful of food is enough.Moreover, the beautiful woman in front of her has a kind face, so she should be a good master. It is a blessing that they can go out with her.
So he nodded quickly, "I am willing!"
Long Xi: "Well, that's good. Get up, after you follow me, you can go to the embroidery room to help. We also have a colorful clothing bureau in Yunlu Palace. This girl with an injured hand, you can get someone to help you first." Let’s bandage it briefly, fortunately it’s just a needle site, the bleeding is not much, so it shouldn’t hurt the muscles and bones.”
He said and threw a bottle of medicine to her.
The two quickly thanked each other and were extremely grateful.
Long Xi didn't say anything more, and let the two embroiderers follow behind her.
Seeing this, Han Jinli smiled and pulled Long Xi's hand, "Satisfied?"
Long Xi blushed, "What are you talking about, I... I just want two maids casually."
It was as if she was so proud of being favored and asked for gifts casually, and this was in front of a queen and half a princess.
Han Jinli doesn't make trouble with her anymore, the daughter-in-law doesn't look careless and thin-skinned at ordinary times, if there is too much trouble, she will have to turn against her when she goes home.
The queen said: "I didn't expect this trip to be disturbed, why don't we continue to look at other places, and don't stay in this filthy place anymore."
The rest of the people nodded, but they couldn't help the queen's kindness, and walked out together.
No one noticed, the eunuch looked at Long Xi's back, his eyes became more and more vicious.
There was a small episode, and no one cared about the big shots. The two embroiderers who had been begged followed Long Xi step by step, and accompanied her around the palace.
Even though they have been in the palace for many days, they are only active in the Caiyi Pavilion, and they dare not mess around in other places. Unexpectedly, following Longxi now, they have the opportunity to enjoy the scenery in the palace.My heart was full of emotions for a moment, it is true that people have different fates, they are all human, they can only enter the palace as embroiderers, their fingers are bald, they can't get much wages, and they have to worry all day long, tortured by the eunuch .But Long Xi is loved by thousands of people, what she wants, someone will give it to her with both hands.
And just now I saw the queen calling another person the Holy Master. Although they didn't know what the Holy Master was, they must be extremely honorable.Seeing that the Holy Master and Long Xi were acting intimately, but both of them were women, this made the two embroidered women very puzzled.She even began to secretly think that if someone treats them so well, it's a woman, and it doesn't matter.Moreover, the Holy Master has an excellent appearance, like a fairy, which is pleasing to the eye.
Along the way, they even saw that the Holy Master was caring and caring for Long Xi, which made them even more envious.
Xiao Hongzao hugged Hong Momo, but the little fat pier was too heavy, and she became tired after holding it for a while, so she gave it to Qing Yi: "Come and give me a hug."
Qingyi took it helplessly, and gave her a light look, but there was pampering and indulgence in his eyes.Xiaohongzao smiled and walked close to her, chattering and asking: "Have you been in the palace before? Have you seen the scenery in the palace? It's really unique."
Qing Yi: "I've been in, but I haven't looked carefully."
Xiao Hongzao nodded, "I think so, if it weren't for my wife, how would you be so lucky to come to the palace to enjoy the scenery?"
Qingyi nodded helplessly, "Yes."
Xiao Hongzao giggled: "Stupid wood, he will say yes."
Qing Yi ignored her, just hugged Hong Momo and followed Han Jinli's footsteps.
When the two embroiderers saw each other, they were puzzled again, why were their words and deeds so intimate?And it is reasonable to say that these two are also servants, why can they make fun of it so easily?Aren't you afraid of offending your master?
They were very surprised, but they didn't dare to ask questions, they could only observe secretly.
After walking around for a long time, everyone felt tired, so they set off for the Empress Dowager's Hall of Yihe.
Long Xi said softly to Han Jinli: "Husband, my feet are sore."
Han Jinli gently pinched her nose, "Squeamish, how long have you been gone?"
Long Xi: "It's just my feet are sore."
"Go back and squeeze it for you." Han Jinli hugged Long Xi's waist, and whispered in her ear: "Let's go to the Queen Mother to perfect it first. The imperial chef's skills in the palace are still good. Don't eat too much later. I can't hold a piggy."
Long Xi poked her arm lightly with a smile, "I won't eat too much, you're talking about Momo, right? She eats like a pig, snorting, it's fun."
Han Jinli smiled and nodded, "It's true, you mother and son are in the same line."
Long Xi snorted coldly, "It's not like you were born, of course not like you."
Han Jinli coaxed with a good temper: "But I raised two piglets."
Long Xi laughed and teased her, the two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Although they didn't make a lot of noise, they didn't deliberately lower their voices. Others smiled knowingly when they heard it. Tang Xinying said, "Sister Jinli and Sister Longxi have such a good relationship, which makes people very envious. If I To be able to find such a beloved man is considered a lucky one.”
Long Xi returned to her with a blushing face: "Sister Xinying is so good, so naturally she can be found."
Tang Xinying smiled and said, "According to elder sister's precious words, if I get married by then, you must come to have a wedding wine."
"That's natural, I'll give you a big gift package, especially big ones!"
Han Jinli glanced at her indifferently, "Are you rich?"
If you don't have money, your husband has it, but you have to please him to get the money.
Unexpectedly, Long Xi ignored her at all, "When I was in charge of the Hong Tian Gang, I saved a lot of private money. Your wife has no other skills, but making money is quite powerful, and she has been financially independent for a long time."
As he spoke, he straightened his back proudly, waiting for praise.
Han Jinli looked at her dotingly, "Young lady is amazing."
It made Long Xi laugh out loud.
This move made the two embroiderers who came with them even more astonished. Is the relationship between the two really that kind?And it looks... quite harmonious?
After arriving at the Hall of Yihe, the dishes have been laid out one after another, waiting for them to come back.
Long Xi felt sorry for Xiao Hongzao and the imperial guards who had been walking around with him all day, and couldn't bear to stand beside them and suffer while they were eating, so he said to them: "Why don't you go and eat first, and come back after eating."
Several people nodded, thanked Long Xi, and went out.
The two embroiderers followed suit.
There is another place for the servants to eat. Of course, the dishes are not comparable to those of the masters, but they are still suitable for both meat and vegetables.
Without the master in front of them, the servants became much more lively.
Xiaohongzao asked the two embroiderers: "What are your names? My name is Xiaohongzao, and my wife's name is Longxi. It's the one who ordered you just now. Just call me Madam."
Xiu Niangyi: "The servant's name is Li Jun."
Xiu Niang [-]: "The servant's name is Liu Mei."
Xiaohongzao laughed loudly: "Oh, what a coincidence! From now on, one of you will be called Xiaolizi and the other will be called Xiaomeizi. Let's get the three together, and you can eat them all!"
Li Jun and Liu Mei: "...Yes."
Qing Yi looked at her helplessly, as a little red date, what can you be proud of?Now I still help others to name without authorization, what little plum and little plum, really uneducated!
But Xiaohongzao is Long Xi's big maid, and the other maids are under her care, and naming the two maids is also part of her job.
Xiaohongzao saw Qingyi's expression of disapproval, and walked over to pull her, "What's your expression? Is the name I chose not good?"
Qingyi: "...OK."
Xiaohongzao: "You don't look like you, give me a kiss before I believe it!"
Qingyi: "..."
Xiaohongzao looked at her watery: "Are you kissing?"
Qingyi ignored her at all.
But who is Xiaohongzao? It is an existence that becomes more and more courageous, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to kiss, then I will."
As he spoke, he tiptoed and kissed Qingyi on the cheek with a paw.
Qingyi: "..."
In fact, she could dodge it, but it feels like it's not bad, then... Forget it, I'll kiss anyway.
The two little maids next to her were dumbfounded.
Xiaohongzao looked at it and smiled: "Hahaha... Did you scare you? Just get used to it. My wife and the Holy Master are legitimate couples, and the emperor personally bestowed the marriage. And this one you see now Mu Mu, Qing Yi, the leader of the Qing Banner Guards, is also the person I am pursuing, and sooner or later we will be husband and wife!"
Qing Yi: "...Are you still shameless?"
Little Red Date didn't care: "Why do you need face? I can do it with you."
Qingyi: "..."
Little plum, little plum: "..."
Zi Yi, who was originally protecting secretly, also walked in, while Lan Yi went out to do the task.
Looking at the crowd, Zi Yi said, "It's quite lively."
"Zi Yi, are you here? Let's eat quickly." Xiao Hongzao warmly greeted her.
Zi nodded, "Little Red Date is still as lively and cute as ever."
With a blushing face, Little Red Zao glanced lightly at Qing Yi, "Someone doesn't know how to hurry up yet."
Qingyi: "..."
What's the matter with her?
The dinner in the mortal world was also a warm atmosphere, and Xiao Lizi, the embroiderer who was pricked by the needle, asked Xiao Hongzao with a blushing face, "Sister Xiaohongzao, this... where are we going with Madam? I just heard what my wife said about Yunlu Palace, what kind of place is it?"
Xiaohongzao said: "Yunlu Palace is the gate of the palace where the Holy Lord is. It is a Jianghu sect, but it is independent of the Jianghu. In short, it is very mysterious."
Without Long Xi's instruction, Xiao Hongzao would definitely not be able to reveal the identities of Yunlu Palace and Han Jinli. She usually looks confused and has no intentions, but she is actually very shrewd, otherwise she would not be able to be Long Xi's big maid.
Xiao Lizi continued to ask: "Then...in Yunlu Palace, can two women...be married as husband and wife?"
"This..." Xiaohongzao was stunned, "I don't say what is allowed or not, even if the Holy Master and my wife are married, if there are other homosexuals in Yunlu Palace who want to get married, they should not object. yes."
Xiao Lizi nodded, with an envious look on his face: "Madam and Holy Master have such a good relationship."
"That's right, the Holy Master loves my wife, the kind that hurts to the core of my heart, and I don't want my wife to suffer the slightest grievance."
Xiaomeizi came in and said, "Madam is also from Jianghu? Can you know martial arts? I heard people say that Jianghu is fun. Riding a horse and whipping a whip is very chic."
Xiao Hongzao: "Madam is indeed a person in the Jianghu, but her martial arts are mediocre, but the Holy Master's martial arts is quite powerful, superb, you will know it when you see it."
The two nodded quickly, looking forward to it.
Qing Yi calmly put a chopstick dish into the small jujube bowl, "Talk as much as you can, hurry up and eat, you have to go back to serve after eating."
Xiaohongzao happily picked up the bowl and started to eat, not forgetting to greet Xiao Lizi and Xiaomeizi, "Hurry up and eat too, you are welcome."
She seemed to forget that she was the guest, and Xiao Lizi and Xiao Meizi had already stayed in the palace for a long time.
As they ate, they thought in their hearts that the Yunlu Palace seemed to be a pretty good place after hearing the description, and they didn't know what would happen after they went there.It would be even better if he could find a lover there.
They have been embroiderers in the palace for the past few years, but they are not young anymore, but they were not allowed to leave the palace, and they forcibly wasted their years.
After eating, several people returned to the master's side.
Long Xi and the others had a full meal, and they were even slower to take care of Hong Momo, a chubby little man.
The maid was peeling the prawns for Hong Momo. Hong Momo had a chubby prawn in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right. His face was full of greasy food. He really looked like a pig.
Long Xi was pleased to see his daughter eating, feeling very happy in her heart, how easy it is to raise, she can eat whatever is stuffed, and she is not picky about food, and she is getting stronger and stronger.
Han Jinli picked food for the mother and son, "Are you really reserved? Eat quickly, don't be hungry."
Long Xi glanced at her with a smile, "It's not good to be reserved and save some face for you."
Han Jinli: "Face is not as important as you."
The queen mother looked at the two with a smile, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I know that Jin Li can also speak sweet words. After finding a daughter-in-law, her mouth has become sweeter. The way she loves her is really different from before. Two people."
Han Jinli said as a matter of course: "Daughter-in-law is for pain."
Long Xi smiled and picked up a chopstick dish for her, "I know you're alright."
The queen mother nodded with satisfaction, "Husband and wife should get along like this, love each other, and stay together forever."
The queen sighed softly at the right time, "It would be great if the emperor and I could get along like this."
The Queen Mother glanced at her indifferently: "You two have different identities, how can you treat them equally."
The queen quickly said: "What the empress taught me is that Shuxian lost her mind for a while."
A meal can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host.
After the meal, the empress went back to her own Fengluan Hall and Tang Xinying continued to accompany Longxi and the others.
"Sister Longxi, why don't you arrange the wedding in the palace? Call more people to come over, it will be lively. Your Yunlu Palace is so high, you will be exhausted to climb up, probably not many people climb it It's been a long time since there was a wedding in this palace, if we can hold one, Emiang will definitely be happy."
Long Xi looked at Han Jinli: "Everything is up to my husband."
On the outside, she still knows how to save face for Han Jinli, after all, Han Jinli's status is also extraordinary.
Han Jinli pondered for a while and said: "I'll ask the emperor and queen mother again, if they agree, it's fine."
Tang Xinying said happily: "That's good, they will definitely agree. To be honest, when I saw Sister Longxi, I felt that I hit it off very well. She is beautiful and has a gentle and kind temper. If I were a man, want to
When she got close, she squatted down~ and saluted: "Xinying welcomes the emperor and the holy master."
Both Xuanyuan Qi and Han Jinli waved their hands to flatten her, Tang Xinying stood up straight, smiled and walked over to pull Han Jinli's sleeve, "Sister Jinli, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard you have Daughter-in-law? It should be the beautiful sister next to her, right?"
Han Jinli pulled back one sleeve calmly, pulled Long Xi over and introduced: "My wife Long Xi, and my daughter Momo."
Long Xi nodded to her as a greeting, while Hong Momo looked at Tang Xinying with her round eyes, and after looking at her for a while, she said obediently, "Hello, beautiful sister."
Tang Xinying laughed, squatted down~ and met her gaze, "Hello, little girl, if you grow up, you will be prettier than me."
Hong Momo smiled embarrassingly, her little face was flushed, but the narcissistic talent inherited from Long Xi has not changed at all, and she said modestly: "It's okay, I'm just a little prettier than ordinary children little bit."
As soon as the words came out, the other adults laughed, including Tang Xinying, who took out a lotus seed candy wrapped in oil paper from her purse and handed it to Hong Momo, "Please eat the candy, it's delicious, I will make it myself made."
Hong Momo glanced at Long Xi, saw Long Xi nod, then took the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed it into his little mouth and ate it happily.
The Empress Dowager glanced lightly at the two people, one big and one snacking on candy, with a smile on her face, but she was generally peaceful and introverted. She said softly: "Xinying is my adopted daughter. Simple, but I hit it off with this little doll of yours, and we can play together."
Tang Xinying stomped her feet in disbelief, "What Erniang said, she was just teasing the children, what do you mean playing with the little dolls? It's like I'm a king of children."
The queen mother tapped her forehead lightly with her fingertips, "She is a king of children, and she doesn't like to listen to others."
Although the words are so, but from the expressions and actions, it can be seen that the Empress Dowager loves this adopted daughter very much, and is much closer to her than to her own son Xuanyuan Qi.Or maybe it was because of Xuanyuan Qi's status as the ruler of a country, so she couldn't get too close to him, lest she be accused of meddling in politics in the harem.So all the mother's love was invested in Tang Xinying.
The surname Tang was the Empress Dowager's surname. Her real name was Tang Hao. She was born noble. As soon as she entered the palace, she was appreciated by the late emperor. She became the empress directly and gave birth to her son Xuanyuan Qi. She became the crown prince smoothly.After her son succeeded to the throne, she became the Empress Dowager, and her life went smoothly. It can be said that her fate was very good.
Judging from Tang Xinying's name, the Queen Mother treated her very well and personally gave her her surname.But she didn't give her surname Xuanyuan, firstly because she was afraid of outsiders making irresponsible remarks, and secondly, she was only an adopted daughter after all. In fact, her own son and Sheji Jiangshan were more important.Tang Xinying was not given Xuanyuan's surname because he was afraid of confusing the blood of the Xuanyuan family and because he was afraid that outsiders would influence the government.
Thirdly, in fact, the queen mother had the idea of marrying Tang Xinying to Xuanyuan Qi and getting closer. Anyway, the two are not related by blood. If Tang Xinying became Xuanyuan Qi's concubine, she could always be with her Left and right, you won't get married when you get old.
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Qi really didn't have this intention, the queen mother hinted it several times, but Xuanyuan Qi beat Tai Chi to push it over.But other empress dowagers looked down on her and were reluctant to marry off her adopted daughter for fear that she would suffer outside the palace.Come and go, Tang Xinying is getting older and older, she is already in her twenties this year, she is considered an older girl, but she still stays in the palace.For a while, many gossips were spread, but because of Tang Xinying's identity, these gossips did not reach her ears.
Long Xi had just arrived here, so he definitely didn't know these things. He just saw a red mole on the center of Tang Xinying's eyebrows, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Sister Xinying, is this red mole on the center of her eyebrows natural or painted? The president is long."
Tang Xinying smiled and said, "I was born with this red mole, so I was picked up by Er Niang, otherwise I would have stayed in the mountains to feed the wild wolves."
The Empress Dowager smiled lightly and said, "You are the only one with a poor mouth."
After laughing, I roughly talked about what happened back then.
It turned out that when the Queen Mother went to the mountain to worship the Buddha, she heard a baby crying on the road, and she followed the sound curiously to see what happened.I saw a baby in swaddling clothes crying hoarsely.He looks pink and jade-carved, with a little red mole between his eyebrows, like a boy under the seat of Guanyin.When she saw the queen mother, she stopped crying and started giggling instead.The empress dowager was overjoyed, she picked her up and brought her back to the palace, she was regarded as her adopted daughter, and she was brought up to her present age.
Usually Tang Xinying is in the palace, and her food and clothing are no different from the real princess princess. It can be considered that she has a lot of blessings. She was originally an abandoned baby, but she became such a noble person overnight. I am envious Many others.
Even Longxi was amazed when he heard this, and said that sister Xinying's fate is really good, but he can repay the Queen Mother for her upbringing by learning the favor.
Tang Xinying said with a smile: "That's natural. I plan to stay by Queen's Lady's side and serve her all my life. No one else can talk to Queen's Lady. If I get married, Queen's Lady can only I've been knocking on wooden fish all day."
The queen mother smiled at her and said, "Whoever likes to talk to you is like a little sparrow, chirping all day long."
Tang Xinying coquettishly tugged at the Queen Mother's sleeve and shook it, "The Empress Dowager is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. If you don't have this little sparrow, you will be lonely to death in the harem."
The Queen Mother smiled and patted her on the back of her hand, she didn't say anything, but there was relief in her eyes, obviously it was very useful.
Tang Xinying continued: "I saw my sister-in-law on the road just now, and she is about to come over to say hello to you. She must have been delayed by something on the road and she hasn't arrived yet."
As soon as the words were finished, a charming voice was heard, "Sister Laoxinying is worried, and I will be here soon."
A gorgeously dressed beautiful woman walked over, who looked about the same age as Long Xi, and after bowing to them, she took the initiative to stand behind Emperor Xuanyuan Qi, and said softly, "Your majesty, you haven't come to see me for a long time. Now, I met you in the Queen's Niang's bedroom instead, so it can be considered fate."
This woman is the empress of the current dynasty, named Yuwen Shuxian, she has been married to the palace for five years, but she has never been married, and she is also secretly worried.But Emperor Xuanyuan Qi has always been lukewarm towards her, and he made her a queen at the beginning to balance the rights of all parties, but he didn't have much true love.Therefore, Yuwen Shuxian's status in the palace has become more and more embarrassing in recent years. Seeing that other concubines have given birth to princes one after another, but she has never had one, she feels more and more anxious.
So he ran towards the queen mother more diligently, hoping to please the queen mother and stand by her side to support her.If it wasn't for the order that the Emperor lived in Zichen Palace, the harem could not be entered. I am afraid that she would have to think of a way to visit the emperor every day in Zichen Palace.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Qi saw her acting like a coquettish and angry gesture, so he just nodded lightly and didn't say much.
The queen was a little bit embarrassed for a while, but Tang Xinying was understanding and suggested with a smile: "It's the first time for sister Jin Li to bring her daughter-in-law to the door, otherwise we can take them around the palace. Although most of the scenery in the palace It is man-made, but it is also carefully built by skilled craftsmen from all over the world. There are also one or two scenic spots to see. Sister Longxi must have never seen such a large-scale building complex. Why don't you take a stroll with us today ?”,
Long Xi smiled and nodded, "It's so good, I'm really curious."
Han Jinli also nodded, anyway, she bases everything on her daughter-in-law's preferences, if she wants to go shopping, she will accompany her.
The queen mother smiled and said: "I won't be with you in my body. You young people, go for a stroll. Just remember to come to my place for dinner at night. It hasn't been this lively for a long time."
Several people nodded, Tang Xinying smiled and said: "I know that Queen Mother still likes to be lively."
Empress Yuwen Shuxian hurriedly said: "Then I will accompany the distinguished guests today, the Holy Master rarely enters the palace, so I have to entertain the emperor well.
This is well said, and there is nothing wrong with it.Han Jinli's status is unusual, she usually goes to the palace to face the saint, but rarely goes to the harem, and several concubines have never even seen her face.Although she can't control the affairs of the harem, there is no harm in being friends with her. On the contrary, it is a great thing to gain some face in front of the emperor.
Han Jinli could also see what she was thinking, but didn't say anything. There were no fewer battles in the harem than in the imperial court. Anyway, she didn't intend to participate, so let her senior brother have a headache.She just wanted Long Xi as a lady, but there were not so many troubles.
So Han Jinli brought Long Xi and Hong Momo, accompanied by Tang Xinying and the queen, plus a few maids and guards, and the group started to wander around the palace in a mighty manner.
Long Xi took Hong Momo's little hand and walked slowly, admiring the surrounding scenery while walking. Tang Xinying and the queen took turns explaining to her wherever she was a little interested. They were very enthusiastic and exhausted. The friendship of the landlord.
After walking through several famous scenic spots, a few people came to a temple door with colorful cloth hanging outside and a lot of embroidery.
Tang Xinying said: "This should be the Caiyi bureau in the palace that is responsible for tailoring clothes. I haven't come in and seen it before. I heard that there are skilled embroiderers recruited from all over the place. Outside, they usually wear The clothes are all from here. The place where the servants stay, if you are interested, Sister Longxi, you can go in and have a look outside, right?"
Long Xi smiled and nodded, "Look at it, I'm clumsy, I don't know how to do embroidery all the time, and I'm often disliked by Momo. Come in and see if I can become a better teacher, so I can give it to my family. Momo makes a shirt."
Although Hong Momo has no shortage of clothes, and there is an organization in Yunlu Palace that specializes in making clothes, which mother wouldn't want to make clothes for her children herself?Every stitch and every thread is filled with their painstaking efforts.
So several people filed in.
After walking inside, there was no peace and tranquility of the embroidery room, but a burst of depressing crying.
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, especially Long Xi, who was a little embarrassed, she was the one who suggested to go in and have a look just now, wouldn't this be the dark side of the palace?I've heard people say before that the battle in the palace is fierce, and it's a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.She just listened to it as a story before, but she didn't expect to witness it with her own eyes now?
The crying sound became more and more tragic, Hong Momo was a little frightened, and stretched out two small hands towards Long Xi, "Mother, give me a hug."
Long Xi picked her up and patted her on the back to comfort her, "Momo is not afraid, it's fine."
Hong Momo buried her head in Long Xi Xiangxiang's soft embrace and didn't mess around.
Empress Yuwen Shuxian's expression was a bit ugly, the Empress Dowager was in charge of all matters in the harem, big or small.It's rare to take a distinguished guest out for a while now, and I didn't expect to be bumped into such a thing. This is a slap in the face for her, the queen!
She walked forward quickly and was the first to enter the embroidery room. She saw a chief eunuch holding an embroidery needle and viciously piercing the fingertips of an embroiderer.
It is said that the ten fingers connect to the heart, and the ten fingers of the embroiderer are already covered with dense needles, so it is no wonder that she is crying like this.
Then Long Xi and the others also walked in.
Curiously, Hong Momo poked her head out of Long Xi's arms to have a look. When she saw the needle hole in the embroidered lady's hand, she was frightened and cried immediately, and said to Long Xi: "Mother, that sister is in so much pain. .”
Long Xi pressed her little head back and didn't say much.
The queen is the master of the harem, she is a guest, so it is not easy to say too much.
Seeing Long Xi and Hong Momo's reaction, the queen's face became even more ugly, and she asked sharply, "What's going on?"
The chief eunuch is usually in charge of the affairs of the embroidery room, rarely goes out, and has never seen the queen, but the palace master wears clothes according to rank, and the phoenix pattern on the queen is not something ordinary concubines dare to wear.
The eunuch hurriedly knelt down, and hurriedly explained: "I don't know that the empress is here, and the little one is welcome. It was the maid who committed a crime just now, trying to steal the embroidery from the palace and sell it in the palace. The slave is In order to teach her a lesson, and also to let other embroiderers understand the rules in the palace, she was punished lightly, as a warning to others."
Seeing this, the palace maid who was lynched hurriedly knelt down and cried and said: "The empress is aware that the servant did not steal the embroidery from the palace. I can't even get out of the palace gate. It's useless to ask for this embroidery. Yes. Eunuch Wei Rong is jealous of the young and beautiful maidservant, so he finds excuses to make things difficult for the maidservant from time to time. This is not the first time. I beg the empress to be the master of the maidservant, the slaveservant’s life is miserable!"
The queen glanced at the embroidered lady indifferently, and she was indeed born with a natural beauty, and her appearance was not inferior to her at all.
She was not happy at the moment, if she happened to be seen by the emperor, and she would be named a noble talent or something, she would have another competitor.
But now in front of the honored guests, it is not easy for her to show her jealous side, so she just said to Wei Rong, the chief eunuch, "You said she stole the embroidery from the palace, do you have evidence?"
Wei Rong hurriedly presented a picture of peonies, "It is this embroidery. This embroiderer is so bold that she tried to smuggle it out of the palace and sell it for money. The slaves discovered it in time to prevent the treasures in the palace from being lost."
The servant girl kept crying and said: "No servant girl, that peony picture was embroidered by my good sister and I, and it is not worth much at all. If the slave girl wants to sell the embroidery and can go out of the palace, why not?" Why don't you embroider a few pieces in private, and steal the recorded embroidery?"
What she said was well-founded, it can be seen that this embroidered girl should have been a knowledgeable girl before entering the palace, and she was born so beautiful, it would be a pity to enter the palace to be an embroidered lady.
The queen asked the chief eunuch, "Do you have any other evidence?"
Wei Rong faltered: "This... At that time, the court lady was stolen and obtained, and I think... this is enough evidence."
The queen looked around at the other embroiderers in the room for a week, and said in a dignified tone: "Is it stolen by someone? You tell the truth, and if you find a liar, you will slap your mouth twenty times."
Those embroiderers were terrified, and finally they all said in terrified way: "The slaves didn't see it."
There were dozens of embroidered ladies present, but no one agreed with eunuch Wei Rong's statement.
It is probably because he usually lynches these embroidered mothers at every turn, so these embroidered mothers are usually afraid and hate him. Now it is rare to have the support of the queen. They probably feel that the opportunity has come. Can they bring down this perverted eunuch chief? , in one fell swoop.
One of the embroiderers came out and said bravely: "The empress is very aware that the chief manager, Wei Rong, often finds excuses to beat and scold us, and takes pleasure in torturing us every day with a little power. The empress is in charge of us."
When Wei Rong saw this, he was furious at the moment, seeing him as a quail-like embroiderer, she dared to ride on his head, it was really unreasonable.
So he cursed: "Bold bitch, dare to spread rumors in front of the empress, I don't think you want your mouth anymore!"
The queen said lightly, "Did I let you speak?"
Wei Rong tremblingly said, "Emperor... Your Majesty, the servant is just teaching the lowly slaves who don't know how to behave."
Queen: "I'm here, when will it be your turn to teach me a lesson?"
Wei Rong: "That's right... What the empress taught me is that the slaves overstepped."
"If one or two say this, I still don't believe it. Since you are the chief eunuch and are in charge of the Caiyi Pavilion, it is reasonable for me to interfere too much, but today, it seems that you are unpopular as the chief eunuch. Still If you dare to use lynching, I don’t think it’s you who don’t care about the rules of the palace. You offended a distinguished guest today, if the palace doesn’t punish you lightly, I’m afraid you won’t be able to convince the public.”
When Wei Rong heard this, he was in a cold sweat. The so-called thin punishment in the palace has never been thin.
Sure enough, the queen said indifferently: "Wei Rong, the chief eunuch, used lynchings against the maids of his subordinates, and his command was not effective. Now, one of his fingers will be cut off, and the official will be demoted to a higher level, and the execution will be carried out immediately."
When Wei Rong heard this, tears and snot came out.
He was a eunuch, and he was originally a handicapped person, so he paid more attention to his body.I don't even grow a beard at ordinary times, and I don't want to cut my hair.If one finger were severed, it would simply kill him.
So he kept crying and begging for mercy, but the queen was used to the drama in the palace, so she couldn't sympathize at all. The eunuch's finger was cut off very quickly, and the blood flowed continuously.
During the whole process, Long Xi was afraid of scaring the child, so he covered Hong Momo's ears, and held her in his arms to prevent her from seeing.
But Wei Rong's cries were too loud, Hong Momo still heard a lot, and his little body trembled with fright.
After the eunuch had his finger cut off, he cast a vicious look at the embroidered lady who was tortured by him just now, and also the embroidered lady who came forward to accuse him just now.It is estimated that when the queen leaves, the two embroiderers will be in great trouble.Although Wei Rong was downgraded by one level, his rank is still higher than that of ordinary embroidered girls. If you want to punish them, there are many ways.
This scene happened to be seen by Long Xi, and she couldn't bear it when she saw the bloody hands of the embroiderer, and said softly to Han Jinli: "Husband, I... If I ask two embroiderers to give I can be a maid, can I? I see that they hit it off."
Han Jinli didn't know that her wife had an outburst of kindness again, but it was just two mothers-in-law, a trivial matter.So she said to the queen: "Why don't I let my wife choose two, she just married to my Yunlu Palace, and there is indeed a shortage of maids. I heard that the maids who can enter the palace have been strictly trained and are good at serving people."
The queen hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Naturally, whichever sister Longxi likes, just choose. It's rare for the Holy Master to ask me for a gift. This is the first time that I have encountered it. I will definitely satisfy you."
Han Jinli signaled Longxi to pick someone.
Long Xi handed Hong Momo to Xiao Hongzao to hold her, passed Wei Rong, picked out the two embroiderers she had just taken a fancy to, and asked them: "Are you willing to come out of the palace with me?"
Although the two embroidered ladies didn't know the identities of Long Xi and Han Jinli, seeing that the queen treated them with respect, they also knew that their identities were definitely not simple.Rather than staying here to be tortured by this perverted eunuch, it is better to go out of the palace, and the left and right are also servants for others, where is it different?A mouthful of food is enough.Moreover, the beautiful woman in front of her has a kind face, so she should be a good master. It is a blessing that they can go out with her.
So he nodded quickly, "I am willing!"
Long Xi: "Well, that's good. Get up, after you follow me, you can go to the embroidery room to help. We also have a colorful clothing bureau in Yunlu Palace. This girl with an injured hand, you can get someone to help you first." Let’s bandage it briefly, fortunately it’s just a needle site, the bleeding is not much, so it shouldn’t hurt the muscles and bones.”
He said and threw a bottle of medicine to her.
The two quickly thanked each other and were extremely grateful.
Long Xi didn't say anything more, and let the two embroiderers follow behind her.
Seeing this, Han Jinli smiled and pulled Long Xi's hand, "Satisfied?"
Long Xi blushed, "What are you talking about, I... I just want two maids casually."
It was as if she was so proud of being favored and asked for gifts casually, and this was in front of a queen and half a princess.
Han Jinli doesn't make trouble with her anymore, the daughter-in-law doesn't look careless and thin-skinned at ordinary times, if there is too much trouble, she will have to turn against her when she goes home.
The queen said: "I didn't expect this trip to be disturbed, why don't we continue to look at other places, and don't stay in this filthy place anymore."
The rest of the people nodded, but they couldn't help the queen's kindness, and walked out together.
No one noticed, the eunuch looked at Long Xi's back, his eyes became more and more vicious.
There was a small episode, and no one cared about the big shots. The two embroiderers who had been begged followed Long Xi step by step, and accompanied her around the palace.
Even though they have been in the palace for many days, they are only active in the Caiyi Pavilion, and they dare not mess around in other places. Unexpectedly, following Longxi now, they have the opportunity to enjoy the scenery in the palace.My heart was full of emotions for a moment, it is true that people have different fates, they are all human, they can only enter the palace as embroiderers, their fingers are bald, they can't get much wages, and they have to worry all day long, tortured by the eunuch .But Long Xi is loved by thousands of people, what she wants, someone will give it to her with both hands.
And just now I saw the queen calling another person the Holy Master. Although they didn't know what the Holy Master was, they must be extremely honorable.Seeing that the Holy Master and Long Xi were acting intimately, but both of them were women, this made the two embroidered women very puzzled.She even began to secretly think that if someone treats them so well, it's a woman, and it doesn't matter.Moreover, the Holy Master has an excellent appearance, like a fairy, which is pleasing to the eye.
Along the way, they even saw that the Holy Master was caring and caring for Long Xi, which made them even more envious.
Xiao Hongzao hugged Hong Momo, but the little fat pier was too heavy, and she became tired after holding it for a while, so she gave it to Qing Yi: "Come and give me a hug."
Qingyi took it helplessly, and gave her a light look, but there was pampering and indulgence in his eyes.Xiaohongzao smiled and walked close to her, chattering and asking: "Have you been in the palace before? Have you seen the scenery in the palace? It's really unique."
Qing Yi: "I've been in, but I haven't looked carefully."
Xiao Hongzao nodded, "I think so, if it weren't for my wife, how would you be so lucky to come to the palace to enjoy the scenery?"
Qingyi nodded helplessly, "Yes."
Xiao Hongzao giggled: "Stupid wood, he will say yes."
Qing Yi ignored her, just hugged Hong Momo and followed Han Jinli's footsteps.
When the two embroiderers saw each other, they were puzzled again, why were their words and deeds so intimate?And it is reasonable to say that these two are also servants, why can they make fun of it so easily?Aren't you afraid of offending your master?
They were very surprised, but they didn't dare to ask questions, they could only observe secretly.
After walking around for a long time, everyone felt tired, so they set off for the Empress Dowager's Hall of Yihe.
Long Xi said softly to Han Jinli: "Husband, my feet are sore."
Han Jinli gently pinched her nose, "Squeamish, how long have you been gone?"
Long Xi: "It's just my feet are sore."
"Go back and squeeze it for you." Han Jinli hugged Long Xi's waist, and whispered in her ear: "Let's go to the Queen Mother to perfect it first. The imperial chef's skills in the palace are still good. Don't eat too much later. I can't hold a piggy."
Long Xi poked her arm lightly with a smile, "I won't eat too much, you're talking about Momo, right? She eats like a pig, snorting, it's fun."
Han Jinli smiled and nodded, "It's true, you mother and son are in the same line."
Long Xi snorted coldly, "It's not like you were born, of course not like you."
Han Jinli coaxed with a good temper: "But I raised two piglets."
Long Xi laughed and teased her, the two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Although they didn't make a lot of noise, they didn't deliberately lower their voices. Others smiled knowingly when they heard it. Tang Xinying said, "Sister Jinli and Sister Longxi have such a good relationship, which makes people very envious. If I To be able to find such a beloved man is considered a lucky one.”
Long Xi returned to her with a blushing face: "Sister Xinying is so good, so naturally she can be found."
Tang Xinying smiled and said, "According to elder sister's precious words, if I get married by then, you must come to have a wedding wine."
"That's natural, I'll give you a big gift package, especially big ones!"
Han Jinli glanced at her indifferently, "Are you rich?"
If you don't have money, your husband has it, but you have to please him to get the money.
Unexpectedly, Long Xi ignored her at all, "When I was in charge of the Hong Tian Gang, I saved a lot of private money. Your wife has no other skills, but making money is quite powerful, and she has been financially independent for a long time."
As he spoke, he straightened his back proudly, waiting for praise.
Han Jinli looked at her dotingly, "Young lady is amazing."
It made Long Xi laugh out loud.
This move made the two embroiderers who came with them even more astonished. Is the relationship between the two really that kind?And it looks... quite harmonious?
After arriving at the Hall of Yihe, the dishes have been laid out one after another, waiting for them to come back.
Long Xi felt sorry for Xiao Hongzao and the imperial guards who had been walking around with him all day, and couldn't bear to stand beside them and suffer while they were eating, so he said to them: "Why don't you go and eat first, and come back after eating."
Several people nodded, thanked Long Xi, and went out.
The two embroiderers followed suit.
There is another place for the servants to eat. Of course, the dishes are not comparable to those of the masters, but they are still suitable for both meat and vegetables.
Without the master in front of them, the servants became much more lively.
Xiaohongzao asked the two embroiderers: "What are your names? My name is Xiaohongzao, and my wife's name is Longxi. It's the one who ordered you just now. Just call me Madam."
Xiu Niangyi: "The servant's name is Li Jun."
Xiu Niang [-]: "The servant's name is Liu Mei."
Xiaohongzao laughed loudly: "Oh, what a coincidence! From now on, one of you will be called Xiaolizi and the other will be called Xiaomeizi. Let's get the three together, and you can eat them all!"
Li Jun and Liu Mei: "...Yes."
Qing Yi looked at her helplessly, as a little red date, what can you be proud of?Now I still help others to name without authorization, what little plum and little plum, really uneducated!
But Xiaohongzao is Long Xi's big maid, and the other maids are under her care, and naming the two maids is also part of her job.
Xiaohongzao saw Qingyi's expression of disapproval, and walked over to pull her, "What's your expression? Is the name I chose not good?"
Qingyi: "...OK."
Xiaohongzao: "You don't look like you, give me a kiss before I believe it!"
Qingyi: "..."
Xiaohongzao looked at her watery: "Are you kissing?"
Qingyi ignored her at all.
But who is Xiaohongzao? It is an existence that becomes more and more courageous, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to kiss, then I will."
As he spoke, he tiptoed and kissed Qingyi on the cheek with a paw.
Qingyi: "..."
In fact, she could dodge it, but it feels like it's not bad, then... Forget it, I'll kiss anyway.
The two little maids next to her were dumbfounded.
Xiaohongzao looked at it and smiled: "Hahaha... Did you scare you? Just get used to it. My wife and the Holy Master are legitimate couples, and the emperor personally bestowed the marriage. And this one you see now Mu Mu, Qing Yi, the leader of the Qing Banner Guards, is also the person I am pursuing, and sooner or later we will be husband and wife!"
Qing Yi: "...Are you still shameless?"
Little Red Date didn't care: "Why do you need face? I can do it with you."
Qingyi: "..."
Little plum, little plum: "..."
Zi Yi, who was originally protecting secretly, also walked in, while Lan Yi went out to do the task.
Looking at the crowd, Zi Yi said, "It's quite lively."
"Zi Yi, are you here? Let's eat quickly." Xiao Hongzao warmly greeted her.
Zi nodded, "Little Red Date is still as lively and cute as ever."
With a blushing face, Little Red Zao glanced lightly at Qing Yi, "Someone doesn't know how to hurry up yet."
Qingyi: "..."
What's the matter with her?
The dinner in the mortal world was also a warm atmosphere, and Xiao Lizi, the embroiderer who was pricked by the needle, asked Xiao Hongzao with a blushing face, "Sister Xiaohongzao, this... where are we going with Madam? I just heard what my wife said about Yunlu Palace, what kind of place is it?"
Xiaohongzao said: "Yunlu Palace is the gate of the palace where the Holy Lord is. It is a Jianghu sect, but it is independent of the Jianghu. In short, it is very mysterious."
Without Long Xi's instruction, Xiao Hongzao would definitely not be able to reveal the identities of Yunlu Palace and Han Jinli. She usually looks confused and has no intentions, but she is actually very shrewd, otherwise she would not be able to be Long Xi's big maid.
Xiao Lizi continued to ask: "Then...in Yunlu Palace, can two women...be married as husband and wife?"
"This..." Xiaohongzao was stunned, "I don't say what is allowed or not, even if the Holy Master and my wife are married, if there are other homosexuals in Yunlu Palace who want to get married, they should not object. yes."
Xiao Lizi nodded, with an envious look on his face: "Madam and Holy Master have such a good relationship."
"That's right, the Holy Master loves my wife, the kind that hurts to the core of my heart, and I don't want my wife to suffer the slightest grievance."
Xiaomeizi came in and said, "Madam is also from Jianghu? Can you know martial arts? I heard people say that Jianghu is fun. Riding a horse and whipping a whip is very chic."
Xiao Hongzao: "Madam is indeed a person in the Jianghu, but her martial arts are mediocre, but the Holy Master's martial arts is quite powerful, superb, you will know it when you see it."
The two nodded quickly, looking forward to it.
Qing Yi calmly put a chopstick dish into the small jujube bowl, "Talk as much as you can, hurry up and eat, you have to go back to serve after eating."
Xiaohongzao happily picked up the bowl and started to eat, not forgetting to greet Xiao Lizi and Xiaomeizi, "Hurry up and eat too, you are welcome."
She seemed to forget that she was the guest, and Xiao Lizi and Xiao Meizi had already stayed in the palace for a long time.
As they ate, they thought in their hearts that the Yunlu Palace seemed to be a pretty good place after hearing the description, and they didn't know what would happen after they went there.It would be even better if he could find a lover there.
They have been embroiderers in the palace for the past few years, but they are not young anymore, but they were not allowed to leave the palace, and they forcibly wasted their years.
After eating, several people returned to the master's side.
Long Xi and the others had a full meal, and they were even slower to take care of Hong Momo, a chubby little man.
The maid was peeling the prawns for Hong Momo. Hong Momo had a chubby prawn in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right. His face was full of greasy food. He really looked like a pig.
Long Xi was pleased to see his daughter eating, feeling very happy in her heart, how easy it is to raise, she can eat whatever is stuffed, and she is not picky about food, and she is getting stronger and stronger.
Han Jinli picked food for the mother and son, "Are you really reserved? Eat quickly, don't be hungry."
Long Xi glanced at her with a smile, "It's not good to be reserved and save some face for you."
Han Jinli: "Face is not as important as you."
The queen mother looked at the two with a smile, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I know that Jin Li can also speak sweet words. After finding a daughter-in-law, her mouth has become sweeter. The way she loves her is really different from before. Two people."
Han Jinli said as a matter of course: "Daughter-in-law is for pain."
Long Xi smiled and picked up a chopstick dish for her, "I know you're alright."
The queen mother nodded with satisfaction, "Husband and wife should get along like this, love each other, and stay together forever."
The queen sighed softly at the right time, "It would be great if the emperor and I could get along like this."
The Queen Mother glanced at her indifferently: "You two have different identities, how can you treat them equally."
The queen quickly said: "What the empress taught me is that Shuxian lost her mind for a while."
A meal can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host.
After the meal, the empress went back to her own Fengluan Hall and Tang Xinying continued to accompany Longxi and the others.
"Sister Longxi, why don't you arrange the wedding in the palace? Call more people to come over, it will be lively. Your Yunlu Palace is so high, you will be exhausted to climb up, probably not many people climb it It's been a long time since there was a wedding in this palace, if we can hold one, Emiang will definitely be happy."
Long Xi looked at Han Jinli: "Everything is up to my husband."
On the outside, she still knows how to save face for Han Jinli, after all, Han Jinli's status is also extraordinary.
Han Jinli pondered for a while and said: "I'll ask the emperor and queen mother again, if they agree, it's fine."
Tang Xinying said happily: "That's good, they will definitely agree. To be honest, when I saw Sister Longxi, I felt that I hit it off very well. She is beautiful and has a gentle and kind temper. If I were a man, want to
