Chapter 107 The New Escort
"I still have papers to approve, if you don't want to go back, just wait in the side hall."

After fishing two fish with Yun Jiao, Xie Zhixing calculated the approximate time in his mind, and he couldn't be lazy anymore.

He thought she would choose to go back.

After all, there was nothing special in the past, and she didn't like to stay by his side.

"The emperor still has papers to approve? Then the concubine is going, but the concubine doesn't want to stay in the side hall, but wants to be by the emperor's side."

Yun Jiao put down the fishing rod and came over to hold his hand.

She calls him the dog emperor every day in her heart, but in the eyes of the emperor, she is also quite a dog.

Dogs are just dogs who tear down houses all day long and don't do good things. They miss delicious food, and they are still so cute when they act coquettishly.

"You actually want to stay by my side one day on your own initiative?"

He couldn't help the sarcasm.

"I heard what the emperor said, all the concubines want to cling to the emperor someday."

Yun Jiao took his hand, raised her face and smiled at him.

"up to you."

Xie Zhixing don't look away.

He was still surprised. In fact, it is not uncommon for a concubine to want to rub the ink beside him when he is busy, and it is not uncommon for him to stage a scene of red sleeves adding fragrance. What is rare is that this person is Yun Jiao.

When they arrived at Qiankun Palace, Xie Zhixing told her, "Call Yinglu if you need anything."

The two maids who followed her entered Qiankun Palace, their calves were shaking.

Those assigned to serve in front of the imperial court are all first-class smart people.

Here, usually they are not worthy to come.

There was a row of palace lanterns hanging on the corridor, which was brighter than in other palaces. She was not afraid of the emperor's indulgence, so she kept a file and searched everywhere, and found the half-dry inkstone he put on the table.Her hands are very beautiful, with a kind of slender and flexible beauty, and the light smudges a circle of white against the black inkstone, making her skin as white and moving as fresh snow falling outside.

Xie Zhixing's heart moved slightly.

As long as she doesn't say a few words, she is indeed a stunning beauty.

As soon as he sat down in front of the case, Yun Jiao turned his head and asked, "Does Director Su have a reclining chair?"

"This……"

Yinglu looked at the emperor.

"Look at what I'm doing, I'll bring it to Concubine Xi if she wants it."

"Yes, the slave will go here."

Yun Jiao added: "The reclining chair is too hard, put some soft cushions on it."

Hearing this, Yinglu felt bad, but could only follow the instructions.

The two eunuchs brought the reclining chair in, and spread a thick layer of warm pads on it, as well as sheep fur padding, to increase comfort: "The servant is afraid that the mother will feel cold in the room, so I brought a thin blanket."

Everything was arranged, Yun Jiao lay down slowly under the death gaze of the emperor.

She put her hands on her chest, very peaceful.

Xie Zhixing: "You come to accompany the driver, is this how you accompany the driver? I will enjoy it."

It's fine if you don't come to help him grind the ink stick, and lie down in front of him.

Yun Jiao didn't feel sleepy for a while, so she changed her posture, lying down instead of lying down, and looked at him with a pair of autumn water eyes: "Your Majesty, my concubine is hungry."

He almost laughed at her: "What do you want to eat?"

"The concubine wants to eat braised duck and shredded chicken spring rolls."

she said in a low voice.

In the small kitchen of Xianfu Palace, you can cook by yourself, but there are not enough ingredients, and you can’t cook big dishes in the middle of the night. Fried shredded chicken spring rolls are okay, and there is definitely no braised duck.On the side of Qiankun Palace, Yun Jiao could call the imperial cook to work from the dining room at any time.

What's more, it's almost meaningless to sleep in my own palace.

If you want to sleep, you can sleep in front of overtime workers, and the taste will be doubled.

Ying Lu glanced at his master's face that was as heavy as a pan, and called Xi Bin in his heart that he was bold.

"no,"

Sure enough, the emperor has a bottom line!
No matter how much you love Concubine Xi, there is no reason for her to order food at will in Qiankun Palace in the middle of the night.

Xie Zhixing's thin and long eyelids rolled up: "The stewed duck and shredded chicken spring rolls are both greasy, so you can only choose one. Change to a lighter dish. If you are hungry, eat a bowl of small noodles or porridge to warm your stomach."

Yinglu:?
Our family really thinks highly of the emperor.

Xie Zhixing also felt that he was very principled and did not indulge her in any way.

Yun Jiao thought about it too, she frowned and became distressed, both are very good!After a battle between heaven and man, she chose to hang the stewed duck. The duck belly was stuffed with scallions, covered and burned. The imperial chef in the dining room handled the duck superbly. The meat was tender and delicious, which was better than the small kitchen in her palace. .

"Boss Su, I want a bowl of mutton soup with green onions sprinkled on top, and pancakes to go with it."

"Yes, the slave knows."

Ying Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

His concubine Xi seemed completely unaware that every time she reported the name of a dish, the emperor's face turned darker.

"Come on, I'm a little hungry."

Yun Jiao noticed, but just didn't care.

If the emperor turned his back on her, she would read the file, and if he didn't turn his back on her, she would try her best to test the bottom line.

And the relationship between a man and a woman is so wonderful, the more peacefully one party wants to take, the more he will train the other party into a habitual giving character.

"The emperor is watching what the concubines are doing, please approve the papers quickly, otherwise there will be no time to sleep later."

Yun Jiao urged him desperately.

"I have my own measure."

Xie Zhixing glanced at her, lowered his head to critique the papers, turned over the bamboo slips vigorously, he didn't believe that she could lie flat like this.

And it turns out, she really can.

While waiting for the food to be served, she slumped on the recliner leisurely, changing her position from time to time.

Xie Zhixing tried to hint: "Grind ink."

After a while, no one moved.

Yun Jiao couldn't stand it anymore, she said: "Boss Su, I'm calling you, don't just stand still, the emperor has been waiting for a long time."

Ying Lu pupil earthquake.

There is a clear division of labor for serving the imperial court. The work of grinding ink is usually not the turn of the eunuchs. It is all contracted by beautiful court ladies, which is also pleasing to the eye.No matter how much Yinglu won the trust of the sage, he never did anything like grinding ink.On a snowy day, he was sweating profusely and bowed his waist: "It's because the slave has lost his wink. The emperor takes a break and drinks some tea."

Xie Zhixing took the tray that Yinglu handed over, and took the lid to scrape the tea: "Since Concubine Xi said it, then you go grind it."

"Go quickly."

Yun Jiao arched the fire.

The scene in the study was very strange.

The emperor worked overtime before the case, the concubines sat on the couch, and the eunuchs were grinding ink sticks.

"Mistress Xi, first drink a bowl of mutton soup to warm your stomach, the rest is still being made, and it will be presented soon."

After a well-behaved little eunuch greeted the emperor, he presented Yun Jiao with milky white and delicious mutton soup.Not only does it have a meaty aroma, but it also contains Codonopsis ginseng, wolfberry, red dates and ginger, and the chill will disappear after a bowl.

Yun Jiao also broke the pancakes into pieces, soaked them soft and ate them.

Originally, Xie Zhixing didn't eat late-night snacks. Once his stomach was full, the gas would affect his thinking. Even if he ate, he would eat cold food or snacks.Eating snacks is not because of sweetness, but eating sweets to replenish energy quickly, which is more conducive to brain operation.

This donkey is a donkey, and he likes to give himself two whips.

But seeing her eating so deliciously, he also had the idea of ​​having a bowl.

"Is it delicious if you don't eat it?" He asked.

"The dry pancakes soak up the mutton soup, not to mention how delicious it is."

There are octagonal silk lamps hanging in the hall, and the lights in Qiankun Palace are always better than other palaces. There is nowhere to hide people's little thoughts, and it also illuminates the emperor more imposingly, unlike ordinary people.The son of heaven does not eat fireworks in the world, nor does he care about food in the world.

But Yun Jiao didn't treat him as the emperor: "The emperor will also come to some."

She broke off a piece of cake, soaked half of it, and passed it to his mouth.

Xie Zhixing frowned.

How can someone eat like this, so much!

Xie Zhixing went through the etiquette he had learned in the past 20 years in his mind, and every one was flashing red.

But when Yun Jiao fed the pancakes, he still leaned forward and took a bite.

The tender but not stinky mutton soup and the rough cake noodles instantly activated the taste buds in the late night. It is indeed delicious, but unfortunately he is not born to live in gourmet literature. He only tasted mutton This is the taste of puff pastry, nothing else.

"Delicious, right?"

Yun Jiao looked at him with a grin, her little face was full of happiness.

Her happiness is so simple.

"It's passable."

"The emperor is really strict."

Yun Jiao ate a little slowly, watching the overtime emperor eat.

As soon as Xie Zhixing raised his eyes, he saw her licking her hands after eating the pancakes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why would someone eat like this!
"Hurry up and wipe your master's mouth." He said.

It was only then that Xue Ya boldly stepped forward to help her wipe off the debris from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

After eating and drinking enough, she asked the maid to wait for her to brush her teeth, and after rinsing, she spit it out into the cup handed to her, and closed her eyes beautifully.After a while, her breathing became steady and long, and it was obvious that she had fallen asleep.

After a few seconds, Xie Zhixing heard her talking in her sleep.

"...spring rolls..."

Xie Zhixing was speechless.

When she was by his side, she was still thinking about the shredded chicken spring rolls that she hadn't eaten!

With a subtle feeling of resentment, Xie Zhixing wrote vigorously and fought until dawn.

……

"My lord, wake up, my lord..."

When Yun Jiao heard the sound and opened his eyes, he saw a ceiling that was different from usual, and he woke up very quickly: "Where am I?"

"Your Majesty is sleepy. This is the Qiankun Palace. The Emperor went to court early. He specially told the servants not to wake you up. Please don't delay and please be well."

"I remember."

Yun Jiao sat up straight like a carp.

The emperor was still calm and asked her to sleep for a while, but he didn't let her not pay his respects.

"The maidservant also wants the empress to sleep more, but it will be too late to sleep any longer."

"It doesn't matter, wash and change clothes."

Under the service of Xueya Gongmei and the imperial court lady, Yun Jiao quickly dressed neatly, got on a walking chariot and headed for Jianzhang Palace.

She feels that she is very well-behaved, but in Liugong's view, she is pampered.

Even the empress never spent the night in Qiankun Palace.

The emperor had to take her with him all night to read the booklets, what kind of pampering was this?

……

It hasn't snowed much these two days, but it hasn't stopped.

In order to ensure the safety of the masters and children, the snow-sweeping palace personnel are rotated. Almost every quarter of an hour, someone can be seen sweeping the snow on the green bricks.However, it is impossible to keep dry all the time. The road is slippery, and people consciously slow down, which also gives opportunities for confrontation.

Xu Guiren was talking with the palace maid when suddenly he was called out: "Hey, who's that in front!"

Obviously, Xu Guiren didn't substitute himself into that one.

She took two steps forward, and her arm was pulled.

"Hey, our mother is calling you, why are you pretending not to hear?"

Xu Guiren staggered and looked back to see Concubine Lan sitting on the chariot. The one who pulled her was the big palace lady that Concubine Lan brought into the palace from the grassland. Her strength was twice as strong as that of ordinary court ladies, and the ground was slippery, almost knocking her Pulled and fell.

"If you have something to say, let's talk about it. Our little master is a noble person anyway, so what's the point of grabbing it?"

Duo'er, Xu Guiren's maid, was startled, seeing her master almost falling on the brick road, she couldn't help but said in fear.

"Your Majesty," Lan Concubine's maid looked her up and down: "Miss Lan Concubine told her she couldn't hear her, so I had no choice but to remind her. After all, is it because she was disrespectful first?"

"Duo'er doesn't need to argue."

After Xu Guiren stopped the maid, he bowed his knees and saluted: "Concubine concubine pays respects to Empress Lan Concubine."

The chariot moved all the way in front of her.

Xu Guiren felt that Lan Pin's eyes fell on the top of her head: "If you see me and don't come to salute, Xu Guiren didn't learn the rules well."

Lan Pin has learned Yanchi dialect since she was a child, but the people around her always speak a different language, and there are inevitably some laughs in the wording.

I didn't even learn how to speak smoothly, so I started talking about my own palace. It can be seen that I didn't want to serve the bed, and I pretended that I didn't care about the status of the holy favor. In fact, I integrated faster than anyone else.

"It's because the concubine didn't see the empress, and she didn't intend to be disrespectful. I hope the empress will forgive me."

Xu Guiren wanted to laugh a little.

But soon, she couldn't laugh anymore.

"Not on purpose? I think you did it on purpose."

Lan Bin said angrily.

Her pretty face was faintly distorted, and it looked terrifying at first glance.

"Miss Lan concubine misunderstood, concubine has absolutely no disrespect to you, but it's almost time to greet empress empress, concubine walked in a hurry, the ground was slippery, too focused on the road and didn't notice your walking chariot In the back, I hope the empress will be considerate."

As a veteran in the palace, Xu Guiren knew that Concubine Lan was in a bad mood as soon as she heard it, and she came looking for someone to vent her anger.

A hero doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages, and while admitting his mistake, she hinted that the other party should accept it as soon as he sees it.

They are all people who are going to greet the queen, what are they pretending to be!

Life in the harem is boring, and it is very common to find someone whose status is inferior to yours to vent your anger. Xu Guiren is used to it, and accepts half of her fate——she was born under Wei Wei, endured her harsh words, and praised her from time to time. Smelly feet, isn't it just to save her from suffering, so that Concubine Wei can protect her if something happens.

It's not a big deal for Lan Pin to seek her own bad luck.

Recognize yourself as cowardly and let the other party feel comfortable, and the matter will pass.

Concubine Ke Lan is not an old man in the palace, she doesn't understand the unspoken rules of accepting as soon as she sees it, and their "tent fight" on the grassland is chasing and beating hard, and they don't let others down when they get power.She sneered: "If you really respect Ben Gong, then kneel down and apologize to Ben Gong, and Ben Gong will consider whether to forgive you."

If it wasn't for going to ask for peace, Lan Pin's slap had already landed on Xu Guiren's face.

Duo'er was secretly worried.

A round of snow was cleared on the ground, but a little water from the melted snow remained in the cracks between the bricks, still freezing to the core.

"Is Concubine Lan really going to do this?"

Xu Guiren was taken aback.

"Yes, that's what I want to do in this Palace."

Xu Guiren gritted his back molars and was about to kneel down when a lazy voice came from behind him: "I thought who was so powerful, but it turned out that he begged to see the emperor last night, but he couldn't even keep him. Empress Lan, who has woven wedding dresses for others!"

It was Concubine Wei who came, she covered her lips and smiled:
"Does Concubine Lan know this allusion? I'm afraid I'm talking too profoundly."

She glanced at Lan Bin's face: "Oh, it seems that I still understand."
