The two young eunuchs who came with them hurriedly carried a big box in with their hands. There is still one at the foot, waiting for the next trip.
Xiao Dezi turned around and winked at Xiao Tianzi and Cattail, letting them watch, then turned his head and laughed at the eunuch: "Then how dare you bother brother Feng, I'm just a little eunuch running errands for the master, how can I help you?" Busy. There are too many melons and fruits from the dining room today. The master is frugal by nature and is afraid that things will break. Seeing how hot this day is, I ran to the warehouse to delay getting ice. Later It's my brother, I'll go in person, you are so busy every day, how can you bother brother."
"No trouble, no trouble, serving the master is also our duty as slaves."
During the conversation, all the things were moved in, and Xiao Tianzi and the others did not work at all.
Seeing that the errand was finished, the eunuch surnamed Feng grabbed Xiao Dezi's arm, patted it and said, "That's it, I have something else to do, so I won't chat with you. I'll treat you to it when I'm free some other day." Eat wine."
Xiao Dezi sent the three of them away with a smile on his face. After they left, he put away the smile on his face and poohed over there. When he turned his head and faced Cattail and Xiao Tianzi, he had a helpless smile again: "These screwdrivers are all high-handed and low-minded, seeing that our master is favored, so hurry over and heat up the stove."
Cattail scolded him with a smile, turned around and went into the house, and told Pan'er about it.
On the other side, Eunuch Feng walked back with two young eunuchs, and one of the round-headed young eunuchs was a little unconvinced: "Brother Feng, why bother to make this trip, we can just let us come, we have lowered ourselves for nothing. identity of."
Eunuch Feng slapped him on the head and cursed: "What do you know! The dining room and storeroom have been moved, and we can still sit comfortably? You forgot how much benefit the kid usually gave us when he came to fetch ice, you guys How much embarrassment did you give to others? Those of us who manage the ice can only be proud of this weather for two days throughout the year. How can we see our shadows in normal times? We are not so quick to curry favor with this master who is about to soar into the sky. Waiting for people to get proud and come back to trouble us?"
"How did Brother Feng see that she was about to soar into the sky?"
"How did you see that?" Eunuch Feng smiled playfully, and patted him on the head again: "That's why I can be an older brother, and I can still take care of you. Okay, don't talk nonsense, and I will meet you in the future." Be careful about your master's affairs, run faster, maybe you can fly up to the sky if you catch your eyes."
Just like what Eunuch Feng said just now, those who manage ice are considered a rather neglected place in the Eastern Palace. They are only busy for a few months in summer throughout the year, and they are usually idle. If it is used as a place for the elderly, it is naturally good, but eunuch Feng is still young and wants to earn a living, so naturally he does not want to let go of any means.
Let him see, Xiao Dezi is really lucky, he was assigned to such a promising master when he came in, and when the crown prince really ascended the throne in the future, he will also be the chief steward of the first palace when he goes out.
However, being able to stand out was naturally not due to good luck. Thinking of the way Xiao Dezi was arguing with him just now, Eunuch Feng sighed secretly in his heart.
Pan'er likes eating chilled melons and fruits very much.
Anyway, he was fine, and he was sitting idle again, so he asked Bai Zhu to bring a plate to eat, and after eating, the plate was gone, and he was asked to take it again, and Aunt Qing stopped him.
"Even if you relieve the heat, master should eat less of these cold things."
Pan'er took the round fan and fanned the wind, said: "It's such a hot day, and it doesn't rain to cool off, the room is almost suffocating."
Aunt Qing looked helplessly at the windows that were tightly blocked by the bamboo curtains, and saw that even though the bamboo curtains were blocking them, the sun was still shining in from outside. The west wing faced the sun, and it was hot in the afternoon, let alone Feng Yi felt hot, she was actually quite hot.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said: "There are a lot of ice sent today, and there are two places in the room, why don't you ask Bai Zhi and the others to fan you?"
Saying that, she went to call for someone, and asked Bai Zhi and Qing Dai to take a big fan and fan the iceberg, so that the cool air could be blown to Pan'er, and it could also reduce the heat.
After fanning for a while, Pan'er saw that Baizhi and Qingdai were also sweating profusely, and said irritably, "Forget it, don't fan, don't let me cool down, but let you suffer from heatstroke, go to rest, anyway. It will cool off in a while."
After the sun goes down, let someone fetch water to sprinkle water in front of the door, mop the floor in the house again, open the windows wide, and place icebergs... After thinking about it this way, Pan'er suddenly felt much more comfortable.
The two of Bai Zhi went down, and Aunt Qing asked the cattails to put a few pieces of ice in a small basin, and put them on the kang table. She came to the edge of the Kang and sat down, fanning lightly with a fan.
In this way, both of them can feel a lot cooler, and they are also in the mood to talk.
"Why doesn't the master eat the dish of berries from the dining room? I see that you like it very much."
Today, Pan'er ate peaches, plums, and iced watermelon, but he was merciful to the plate of berries, and he ate a few of them when it was iced, and he didn't want to eat any more.
"It's natural to save good things." It's hard to say it clearly, so Pan'er can only talk in circles.
Aunt Qing smiled: "Even if this item is rare, if there is one plate for free at the dining room, there must be a second plate. If you finish eating, you won't be given any more. At worst, you can get some money for it."
Aunt Qing's experience can be regarded as a series of ups and downs. When she was extremely rich, her family fell into ruin and fell into prostitution. When she was beaten in the prostitution, although it was a bit bitter, she never suffered in terms of food and use. Since she was a good man, she has not met a good man, and she has endured the hardships of the world again, so although Aunt Qing is usually very careful, she is not a stingy person.
It could be heard from her breath.
Pan'er smiled affectionately: "I still can't, who knows if there is still money to buy, and besides, I'm not reluctant to eat."
In order to show her willingness, she asked Cattail to bring out the plate of berries from the ice kettle.
It is bright red, tender, and exudes a tempting coolness and sweetness, which makes people appetite when they look at it. Pan'er glanced at it again and again, and said: "Pick up a little in a small bowl, and keep the rest."
Aunt Qing smiled and glanced at her, she was still a little girl.
The plate was eaten with a silver fork, and because the food was rare, I was a little hesitant to eat it. After taking a bite, the sweet juice came out, dyeing her mouth bright red.
After eating one on the plate, he suddenly forked one and fed it into Aunt Qing's mouth: "Auntie will try it too."
Aunt Qing was caught off guard and was fed her mouthful. As the sweet pulp turned into juice and flowed into her throat, she finally understood why Pan Er was reluctant to eat it.
Pan'er wanted to feed her again, but she refused.
"My aunt doesn't eat anymore, she's as young as you when she's an aunt."
These were just words of intimacy between each other, but Pan'er was a little taken aback.
Small
She is not young, the combined age of her two lifetimes is long enough to enter the coffin.
It's just that Pan'er has never forgotten what Aunt Zeng Qing said. If you want to maintain your appearance, you need to rely on external objects. You must also maintain a happy and youthful attitude. This is the secret to a permanent appearance.
This is just a gossip, but it was regarded as good advice by Pan'er in the previous life. It is also because the life in the palace is too lonely. If she can't find fun for herself, her life will probably be difficult for a long time. That's why she thought of this sentence' subterfuge'. Later, she kept it like this, and she really looked younger than ordinary people, and then she kept it like this.
Anxiety is only temporary, after all, you have to live by yourself, it is better to be happy than to be annoyed every day.
After eating a small bowl of raspberries, Pan'er felt extremely satisfied and didn't feel hot anymore. She leaned lazily on Aunt Qing's lap, fanning her to fall asleep.
Aunt Qing kept fanning her like this. She had no children of her own in her life, and Pan Er was like her daughter.
The room was quiet, Qing Dai and Bai Zhi went to tidy up and came back, seeing that the master was asleep, they went down quietly without making a sound.
Another curse came faintly from the opposite side, but no one could hear what it was. As the two looked at each other, there was a sudden tacit understanding, for a slave, having a good master was better than anything else.
When Pan'er woke up, the sun had already set.
Cattail and Xiao Dezi went to get dinner, and here she went to take a bath and changed clothes, and had someone pour water inside and outside the house again, opened the window, put on icebergs, and immediately felt much more comfortable.
Also in the mood to eat.
Today, I didn't eat much on the plate, except I ate some melons and fruits, so I ate more for this evening meal.
After eating, she walked around the house to digest food. Seeing the wind outside, she went outside to cool off.
Seeing her outside enjoying the cool air, the people in the East Wing were very surprised, the servants came in and out, even Zhao Mama stood at the door and looked at the opposite side, and Pan Er pretended not to see her when she saw it.
After eating, Pan'er went back to the house, Bai Zhu was arranging the melons and fruits in the ice kettle, some of them had been cut into pieces and couldn't stay overnight, and Pan'er couldn't eat anymore, so Bai Zhu and the others took them to eat.
Naturally, he brought up the plate of raspberries again, and someone brought out the plate. He couldn't help but look out of the window, and forked one into his mouth.
Yes, Pan'er left this plate of raspberries on purpose, she knew the prince liked to eat it.
But whether the crown prince will come today is still a matter of debate. Pan'er knows in his heart that he will definitely not come tonight. After all, it has been two consecutive nights, but he just wants to stay in his heart.
If you don't come again, I will finish it, and I won't leave a single one for you.
With this in mind, Pan'er ate one after another. The more she ate, the more tasteless she became, and there was still half a plate left. She looked at it and was about to let someone take it away, when there was a sudden commotion in the yard outside.
"Your Highness."
Zhao Xiyue was wearing a water-red summer blouse and a moon-white pleated skirt, which complemented her beautiful appearance, making her look very attractive.
The sky was already dark, only the lamps were hung on the corridors of the East and West Wings, the light was dim, it was the so-called beauties under the moonlight.
The prince frowned very tightly, and Fu Lu was the same as him.
It's just that the master can be silent, it doesn't mean he can also be silent, quietly glanced at the master's expression, Fu Lu decided not to wait for the master to get upset, and hurriedly made a wink, and two eunuchs came up to block Zhao Xiyue .
Then the prince left.
"Your Highness—"
The West Wing had already noticed the movement here, and was furious in his heart. Seeing the prince coming this way, he hurriedly hid himself as an invisible person. Pan'er also listened to the movement and came out to watch. At that time, she didn't realize what she was doing. She didn't react until she heard the shrill "Your Highness".
But it was too late, the prince had already seen her.
The prince glanced at her, as if asking her why she was standing here.
Pan'er by the door touched her bun, a little embarrassed.
Could it be that you want to see if someone can intercept me? I had no choice but to say nothing, still a little annoyed in my heart, turned my head and walked away shyly.
Her awkward look didn't hide from the prince's eyes, making him laugh and follow behind into the house. Seeing that she ignored him, the prince was not good at coaxing others, so he had to sit on the kang by himself.
He stroked the Buddhist beads on his wrist, looked at her back, and was thinking about how to speak, when Pan'er brought over two plates of fruit and put them on the kang table.
"This was delivered by the dining room today. It's fresh. Has Your Highness used the dinner? If it's useless, I'll ask someone to prepare it."
"I came here after eating." The prince cleared his throat and said.
In fact, he came here after having dinner at Jidetang, but he definitely wouldn't say anything about it, and Paner wouldn't ask, so the two of them just focused on the fruit.
One is deliberate and wants to know whether he is happy or not, and the other is accidental, the dining room did not expect this thing to be delivered.
The East Palace also shared a basket of the berries from the tribute this time, except for a plate for Ji De Tang, and a plate for Fu Lu in Yuqing Palace, and nothing else. The prince only knew about this matter, but he didn't know the details, but he knew that if it was according to the position of the plate, there would be no such thing.
These slavish slaves know how to read people's minds!
The prince forked one and fed it into his mouth.
After chilled, there is a cool air in the mouth, which makes the raspberry sweet and delicious. With chewing, the plump juice wetted the thin lips, and the pale white lips were stained with red juice, adding a touch of temperament different from usual to the prince.
Why is it so beautiful
Pan'er didn't find the prince good-looking before. I only thought that he was majestic, decent, graceful, and calm, and the heart of an emperor was hard to guess. Only now did I realize that the prince is really good-looking.
Why is it so beautiful
Seeing her staring eagerly, the prince hesitated for a moment, then forked one and handed it over.
Pan'er glanced at the berry, then at the prince, opened her mouth and bit it.
The author has something to say: A berry is a strawberry.
