After King Jin left, Yaoniang planned to sleep for a while and get up.
She doesn't have to go to work today, and finally she doesn't have to wake up so early.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he bolted the door and came back to lie down, there was a knock on the door.
Yaoniang thought in her heart that King Jin had forgotten something, but then she thought that he never knocked on the door when he came in. Anyway, she bolted the door tightly every day, so he could always come in easily.
I don't know how it got in.
The door opened, and Ah Xia stood outside.
"What's up so early?"
Yaoniang looked at the sky outside, and it was nothing but bright. Immediately she remembered that not long after King Jin left, A-Xia knocked on the door. Could she have seen something she shouldn't have seen
"Nurse Su..." Axia hesitated.
Yaoniang's heart trembled, she suddenly fell asleep, did she really see it
"What's the matter with you?" Yaoniang's face became a little bit reluctant, but the room was not lit and the sky was dark, so she couldn't see it.
"I went to bed early yesterday, so I woke up early today. Thinking of Qin'er's small days these past two days, I wanted to help her clean the yard, and then... you..." A-Xia hesitated to speak, as if there was something difficult Open mouth thing.
"What's the matter with you?" Yaoniang needed her life to suppress the panic in her heart. After all, two lives were not in vain. She looked surprised and puzzled, as if she really didn't understand A-Xia's intention.
A Xia glanced at her face again, and shook her head: "It's nothing, I must be dazzled. I seem to see a mouse running towards your door, but your door is closed, so it must not be able to get in. But You should pay more attention, if you really find a trace of a mouse, call someone to help you drive it out, so as not to damage your clothes and furniture."
Yaoniang looked at her face and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll pay attention to it. When it's daylight, I'll check around. If it's really there, I'll be so shocked."
A Xia nodded again and again: "You are sleeping, so go on sleeping, I won't disturb you anymore." After finishing speaking, she left in a hurry.
Only then did Yaoniang close the door again, and went back to the room to continue resting.
The sky is slightly bright, the mist is lingering, and the air is still cool and moist, which is refreshing. Whenever it comes to summer, this is the most comfortable time of the day.
A-Xia clenched the broom tightly in her hand a little out of control, sweeping the ground every now and then.
In fact, she just lied to Mrs. Su, she was not dazzled. She was sweeping the floor with a broom, but she bumped into that person head-on.
Wearing a green shirt, with a cold expression, he walked out of the mist, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks.
Of course A-Xia knew who he was, so she dodged subconsciously, but she didn't know that the other party's narrow and cold eyes shot straight at him immediately.
What kind of look is that
It is full of indifference and indifference, like a towering peak that has not melted ice and snow for thousands of years, contemptuous and proud. It also seems to hide countless sharp swords, which are breathtaking.
It was a warning look!
A Xia was shocked on the spot, before he had time to react, that person left lightly.
After a while, her brain slowly turned.
His Royal Highness King Jin came out from the west chamber, and his direction was Nanny Su's room. Immediately, Nanny Su's unique position in Xiaokuayuan, the protection of Yuyan and others, the resentment of Nanny Qian and Nanny Wang, and the incident of the ice cauldron that day, etc., all flashed through Axia's mind one by one.
So there's still something I don't understand, it turns out that Nanny Su and His Highness...
Subconsciously, she knocked on the door of Nanny Su's room, wanting to know if it was true, but after seeing the person, she hesitated.
What should she ask? Ask Nanny Su if there is something between her and His Highness.
She did not forget the look in King Jin's eyes. If she said something wrong, she would not be able to afford the consequences.
She is just a little girl, is there something between Nanny Su and His Highness, and what does it have to do with her
A-Xia sweeps the floor again and again, still thinking about the appearance of Su NaiNiang in her mind—the cloud bun is half tilted, her figure is enchanting, her expression is lazy...
The sun hangs in the sky like a big ball of fire, the flowers and plants in the yard are all sunburned, the cicadas are singing feebly, and the air is almost stagnant and sultry.
Concubine Hu has a body that is afraid of heat, and it is particularly difficult in summer, so ice has been placed in the Liuchun Pavilion.
Even so, Concubine Hu still felt that the heat was unbearable.
Not only is the body hot, but also the heart is hot.
This is the case in summer, whenever there is something in my heart, I feel like I am on fire, revealing a kind of impatience from the inside out.
Concubine Jin recently brought a few maids into the mansion, but I don't know where they got them from, anyway, they are all very beautiful. Concubine Jin's excuse was that many of the maids around her had been let out, and a few more people needed to be added, but if Concubine Hu came to see it, it would be malicious.
Originally, King Jin hadn't set foot in Siyi Courtyard for many days after being angered by Princess Jin. Although the King of Jin is not very close to the concubine Jin, he has never given a lot of respect. Whenever he is in the mansion, he will go to Siyi Courtyard for dinner every Monday or Friday, but since that time, the King of Jin has never I won't go, and Princess Jin is also sick.
Let Concubine Hu see, this is not sick, this is because she can't find a step, and she is looking for a step for herself.
It's a pity that His Highness shouldn't be wronged!
Concubine Hu was so happy in her heart, but before she was happy for a few days, Princess Jin recovered from her illness.
This can't kill the old hag! She cursed in her heart more than once.
Jinwang Mansion is different from other places, because it is the vassal king's mansion, the division of labor is clear, and it is divided into two parts: external affairs and internal affairs.
Externally, there are the Department of Long History, Department of Flattery, and Chaohui Hall, and internally, there is the Office of Internal Affairs. And this internal affairs office is in charge of the internal affairs of the entire mansion, from the large to the mansion's staff, retainers, generals, and guards' chariots and horses, to the small to the mansion's servants cutting the clothes of each season for daily meals and monthly payments Distribution, of course, also includes this back house.
The internal affairs office is in charge of Fu Cheng, the head of the palace, but the back house is the princess's territory, so it is naturally divided separately. However, due to the restraint of the internal affairs office, the power in the hands of Princess Jin has been reduced to a very low level, except for the transfer of servants from various places and the distribution of different courts, there is nothing else.
Even if it is this little right, Concubine Hu has already seen it in her eyes.
These rights do not seem to be many, but they hold the lifeblood of everyone in the back house. Since Concubine Hu does not want to be restrained by others, she naturally wants to fight against them.
After finally taking advantage of Jin Wangfei's loss of power, she was using her momentum to win over and arrange servants, but just after the opening, Jin Wangfei recovered from her illness. This is not the big event that ruined Concubine Hu, otherwise she wouldn't scold her like that. Especially Princess Jin brought in some goblins, obviously these were the second and third concubine Feng.
The more Concubine Hu thought about it, the more annoyed she became, holding a round fan in her hand, fanning herself loudly.
"Taohong, go get my concubine a bowl of cheese and cherries to cool off the heat."
Hearing this, Tao Hong, who was standing next to her, showed embarrassment.
There is nothing unusual about this cheese, and the recipe is simple. The palace is full of gold and jade, and there are no delicacies. But the cherry—
You must know that Jinzhou is located in a frontier fortress, with a vast land, but it is not considered rich, and the local area does not produce cherries. Actually, there was a basket of rewards sent from Beijing a few days ago, but the Internal Affairs Office sent it directly to the Siyi Courtyard, saying that Princess Jin liked it, but Liuchun Pavilion didn't get any of it.
It was also because of this that the wind direction in the mansion changed again. Those who had fallen to Concubine Hu's side earlier changed their attitudes one after another, and once again held a wait-and-see state. Now Concubine Hu is arguing about what cheese and cherries to eat, not to let Taohong take care of Princess Jin.
"Ma'am..."
Of course, Concubine Hu saw the embarrassment on the servant girl's face, she turned her beautiful eyes and landed on the green bamboo who was fanning next to her: "Cui Zhu, go, just say that Xiaojun mainly eats it."
How old is the little princess, can she eat this
This is obviously a disgusting person through the little princess!
Cuizhu's face was embarrassed immediately, but she didn't dare to refute at all, she silently put down the fan in her hand and went out.
Tao Hong looked at her back, and said to Concubine Hu: "She is also really good-tempered, the empress torments her so much, and she suffers like this."
"If you want to accept it, you can accept it. This concubine has a lot of tricks to torment her." Hu Choufei snorted and shook the round fan lightly. Now I am not annoyed anymore, just waiting to see the joke from Siyi Courtyard.
If Concubine Jin gave it, I would be the one who would be disgusted. It was obvious that this was Concubine Hu's messing around. But if you don't give it, then you don't value the little princess.
The little princess is the only heir of King Jin. If you don't value the little princess, you don't value the king!
This is the concept of Concubine Hu's secret exchange, but unexpectedly, this method is very effective. Whenever she loses the upper hand in the fight with Princess Jin, if she sacrifices this card, she will win without losing.
Concubine Hu would not allow the situation to reverse. Even if she missed the opportunity, she would not let Princess Jin win back.
I don't know the reaction from Siyi Courtyard. In the small courtyard separated by a wall, King Jin rarely came to the small building leisurely during the day.
On the second floor of the small building, the windows are wide open, and the breeze blows the purple gauze curtains to the left and right.
In this hot weather, ice is naturally placed in the house, and a huge iceberg surrounded by white smoke is piled in the gilded ice cauldron in the corner of the house. With the breeze blowing, the room is clear and clear.
Behind the desk, King Jin was holding a file and looking at it.
On the armchair not far away, Yaoniang was sitting there, eating bright red, delicious, big and round cherries from the white porcelain plate on the flower table.
The bright color against the slender white fingers, looks surprisingly good-looking.
King Jin glanced sideways, thinking that it was really suitable for her.
A thin layer of ice was placed in the porcelain plate, so there was a layer of cold water vapor on the cherries, sweet and sour, cool and delicious, Yaoniang ate more than twenty at a time before stopping.
She was a little embarrassed, she was not a greedy person, but she was curious about this kind of snack in front of King Jin, and she wondered if he would laugh at her.
But it's really delicious, she hasn't eaten it yet.
She looked at the few cherries left on the plate, and then at King Jin over there, feeling a little ashamed. The food was brought by His Highness, but he didn't eat any of it, and he ate so much by himself.
"Your Highness, do you want to eat?"
King Jin's first reaction was, he is not a woman, how could he eat such a small thing. But looking at her thin white fingers and charming eyebrows, I couldn't help but feel a twitch in my heart.
He raised his eyebrows, and Yao Niang, who knew what he meant, walked over with a porcelain plate.
As soon as he came to the front, he was pulled to sit on his lap, and then the old man raised his eyebrows again, Yaoniang hesitated a little, then lightly twisted one and put it into his mouth.
"It tastes good." King Jin said.
Yaoniang stretched out her hand appropriately, and a small cherry pit rolled into the palm of her hand.
Just one feed, one food, and not forgetting to read the file by the way, it is quite fun.
It's just that King Jin made more movements as he ate, or bit her finger lightly, or passed the tip of his tongue inadvertently. Under the desk, the other hand rubbed Yaoniang's waist intentionally or unintentionally, clearly showing the most serious expression, but doing the most indecent thing.
"Look at what is said in this book, the sweetest thing is that a beauty feeds wine with her mouth." King Jin stretched out his hand and nodded.
Yao Niang was being teased by him, her face was flushed red, when she heard this, she subconsciously looked at the file in his hand.
Only then did I realize what kind of dossier this was, it was obviously a book of stories.
The book is equipped with exquisite illustrations, all depicting the extremely fragrant things. The people in the painting are just like them at this time, one sitting on the lap of the other, but the beauty is half-undressed, and the beauty is faintly visible, and she is feeding the man with wine.
