Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 95 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger

Zhao Xiwei thought of the prince's eyes again.

It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and the Prince of the East Palace is also a tiger.

As an unfavored concubine, if He Manzhi really entered the East Palace and waited for her, I am afraid it would not be a good fate.

However, this has nothing to do with me.

As soon as his thoughts changed, Zhao Xiwei retracted his thoughts.

The maid served a kumquat ginger honey soup, Zhao Xiwei drank a small half bowl, perhaps because the pungency of the ginger caused the chills, his cheeks started to get hot, and there were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead.

Zhao Xiwei only felt that the sweat became more and more, and it was inconvenient to wipe in front of everyone, so he had to put down his chopsticks and sip the tea slowly.

But suddenly a hand gently pulled her sleeve: "Miss Zhao."

Zhao Xi turned his head slightly in surprise, and saw He Manzhi frowning, his face was pale, and beads of sweat fell from his face, which seemed to be very painful.

Zhao Xi asked in a low voice, "What happened to you?"

"I...my stomach hurts." He Manzhi's voice was weak, and the hand that was pulling her sleeve trembled.

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment.

The sound of the phoenix flute is moving, and the gongs and chips are intertwined. At this time, the stomach hurts, but it is not the right time.

"I... I'm here..." He Manzhi's voice became even lower, full of embarrassment and helplessness: "I've been inaccurate, I didn't expect it to happen at this time..."

Zhao Xiwei looked at her increasingly pale face, then glanced at Mrs. He next to her, and sighed in her heart.

With Mrs. He's vulgar temperament, she might scold her on the spot, and everyone's face would be dull by then.

Zhao Xiwei hesitated for a moment.

He Manzhi's body trembled in pain, and his hand slipped into Zhao Xiwei's palm, both of which were wet.The difference is that one is cold and the other is hot and humid.

The sweat on Zhao Xiwei's body has soaked his back, and his cheeks are as hot as fire.

No, if I stay like this, I'm afraid my makeup will be ruined.

Gotta figure out a way to get out there and get some air.

She quietly held He Manzhi's hand and lowered her voice: "When the palace servants come to serve the dishes, we will go out quietly, and then you can go to the clean room and tidy up by yourself, okay?"

He Manzhi nodded again and again as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

What else was she going to say, the voice of Concubine Xian came over: "What happened to the two of you?"

Just as the song ended, the sound of Sizhu suddenly stopped.

But Concubine Xian didn't care at all, she still had a chatty tone, and asked with a smile, "Look at the sweat on your end, is the earth dragon burning too hot?"

Everyone looked over.

The old lady sat down with the eldest princess, and when she heard this, she turned her head and asked with concern, "What's the matter, are you uncomfortable?"

Zhao Xi replied slightly: "I'm not uncomfortable, but I feel a little hot after drinking the soup, and I want to go out to get some air."

The old lady hesitated a bit: "Drink a cold tea and press it down. You are the first to come back in this palace, so don't go around. If you get lost, how can you find it?"

That's what Zhao Xiwei was afraid of, and was about to persuade He Manzhi to endure more, when Concubine Xian smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll ask the maid by my side to take you there, out of the corridor, and walking forward is Taiye Pond. , There are many hibiscus lanterns hanging there, they are beautiful and bright, even if they don't know the way, they won't get lost. Besides, we will go there to set off fireworks tonight, it's okay."

After speaking, he turned his head and ordered: "Eunuch Chang, take these two young ladies out for a walk."

As soon as Eunuch Chang was mentioned, Zhao Xiwei's nerves that were relaxed suddenly became tense again, and he felt more sweat dripping out.

The old lady was still a little hesitant, but the eldest lady Xu Yunjiao said directly: "Taiye Chi, I used to go there to play when I was a child, you can let her go for a walk, look at the sweat on her face, and then sit here again. It's not like that."

Here they whispered, and the queen mother above noticed the abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"

The eldest princess hurriedly replied with a smile: "It's nothing, we are discussing about setting off fireworks at night."

The queen mother smiled and nodded, and called the palace maid: "Go on and spread the word, and set up the Qinglingtai every moment."

The attention of the concubines and concubines also attracted the past: "The fireworks are really lively, I heard that the fireworks this time are colorful!"

"Really, the last time I saw fireworks was the Lantern Festival last year!"

Everyone chatted happily, and Concubine Xian gave Eunuch Chang a wink.

Eunuch Chang bowed in front of the table and made a please gesture: "Two girls, please come with us."

Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat.

However, He Manzhi stood up vainly: "Thank you father-in-law."

Zhao Xi was slightly helpless, so he supported He Manzhi and quietly exited the banquet.

All the way through the veranda, rockery, and then around a high palace wall, the sound of silk and bamboo gradually disappeared, and came to a relatively quiet palace.

Zhao Xi paid a little attention, and then handed a purse to Eunuch Chang: "I feel sorry for Eunuch Lao. If you have any thoughts, please accept it with a smile."

Eunuch Chang glanced at her one more time, then glanced at the pale He Manzhi next to him, and then showed a arrogant smile before taking the purse: "Miss Zhao is indeed a sensible person."

The implication is that He Manzhi is ignorant and does not know the benefits.

He Manzhi's hand on Zhao Xiwei's body trembled again, she also wanted to do something, but she didn't have any money on her body...

She kept her spirits strong, and was about to apologize, but Zhao Xiwei smiled faintly, and handed a purse from her sleeve, saying, "My father-in-law has passed the award. Miss He is not feeling well. Please ask my father-in-law for more Haihan."

Reach out and don't slap the smiling face, the palace is full of weirdness, it is better to please one person more than to offend one more person.

It's just a little bit of money. It's best to turn big things into small things.

Zhao Xiwei deeply knows a truth:
Problems that can be solved with money are not big problems.

Because in this palace, most of the problems cannot be solved with money.

Eunuch Chang put the two purses in the palm of his hand and weighed them, seeing that they were all heavy, and then he showed a satisfied smile, slowly putting them into his sleeves, and then the smile became a little normal: "Look at the girl is a sensible person, Let’s just say one more word, don’t look at things you shouldn’t see in this palace, don’t listen to things you shouldn’t listen to, and don’t walk around where you shouldn’t go.”

Zhao Xi was stunned for a while, not knowing why he said such a sentence without any reason, but he still smiled and nodded: "Thank you father-in-law for the point."

Then Eunuch Chang gave her a strange and deep look, and then pointed to the front: "There is the clean room over there, the two girls please use it, and we will not disturb our house."

Zhao Xiwei supported He Manzhi and walked towards the front.

The clean room in the palace is very beautiful and elegant, with a high pink wall, clean and slender green bamboos are planted around it, along the road there are narcissus, jasmine and other flower pavements, and there are bursts of crisp bird songs, which makes people feel suddenly. Relaxed.

Zhao Xiwei stood under the corridor and waited.

But I heard two sneaky voices coming from the rockery.

"Hey, have you heard that the violin master who entered the palace today offended the queen mother, and I'm afraid he won't live long."

This sentence alone shocked Zhao Xiwei.
