Chapter 77
On the seventh and eighth day of September, the emperor was busy, and he didn't call himself a pastry at night. He just drank a bowl of milk.

Li Yu and everyone in the imperial dining room were relieved, and Wanxi was even more relieved.

She also happened to be busy these two days.He was busy tearing open the stems of the grass that Master Jiu brought back with his own hands, took out the white inner stem of the grass while it was still wet, cut it into small pieces, and let it dry naturally.With the help of Nian Chun and others, the dried inner stems were cut into slices, and then the slices were wrapped with a damp cloth, and twisted into petals using appropriate humidity.

After two days of busy work, on the morning of the Double Ninth Festival, when Xianchun and a few first-class women found out, Wanxi had already made a small box of weed grass flowers.

Xianchun and the others couldn't help being surprised, they went up to pick up the grass flower and took a closer look: "Although the grass flower book is not uncommon, there are enshrined in Yangzhou every year, and there are craftsmen in the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who can make it, but the girl made it It's not the same as them!"

Even Suchun couldn't help but praise: "Miss Wan is really ingenious."

Wanxi blushed when she was praised, "Because I was born in a flower field, I lived with these flowers and plants all day long, so I just twirled a few flowers with my hand, which is considered pretty. The rest... are all unattractive."

Xianchun laughed: "I'll show the flowers on my head to my mistress!"
.
The queen couldn't help being surprised when she saw that this box was very different from the grass flowers made by craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River.

She tilted her head and looked at Xianchun's expression carefully: "You mean... Wanxi made this specially for me?"

Xianchun couldn't help laughing: "Returning to the master, it is exactly! Miss Wan has been busy for a long time for this box of flowers, from the initial planning to drawing the flower shape by herself, and then begging Master Jiu to find fresh grass , until the seventh and eighth day of the first day, I made it by myself all night long. This morning Miss Wan's eyes are red."

Because of Master Jiu's request, and because he admired Wanxi himself, Xianchun did not hesitate to praise Wanxi in front of the queen: "To tell the truth, master, this servant really sees it. Miss Wan is really sincere to master, and she is really sincere. It is not in vain for the master to take care of her like this."

The queen looked down at the flowers on her head, each petal could be seen to be carefully handcrafted, the queen felt an inexplicable emotion, and she couldn't help but sighed softly again.

After all, she didn't expect this girl to think so sincerely for her.

"Call Wanxi here." The queen finally ordered Xianchun.
.
Wanxi followed Xianchun to the queen's bedroom, feeling both happy and nervous.

Although she has been in the queen's palace for some time, but she is ordering women around, and she has never had a chance to be in front of the queen.The queen never called her, and she only passed on her words through Xianchun and others.

When Wanxi saw the queen, she gave another big gift, and the queen sighed softly: "Qi Ke, just an ordinary greeting is enough."

The queen beckoned Wanxi to come over to the kang, and looked at her closely for the first time: "You have been ill these days, so I didn't ask anyone to bother you. I just heard that you are well, so I have to take care of you." Let's take a good look at you like this. Wanxi, you have done a great job with these grass flowers, I like it, you have a heart."

The queen is more than ten years older than Wanxi, so earnestly speaking, it makes Wanxi think of her mother.

Wanxi took a deep breath, hid the soreness in her eyes, and hurriedly blessed her body: "From the time I was selected into the palace until I was selected into the Changchun Palace, every step was taken care of by the master and empress. I asked myself what virtue and what can I do? It is a great honor to have the master and the empress treat each other like this... The servant does not know how to repay, but does his best."

The queen married into the palace at the age of 16. She has been used to intrigue among women for more than ten years, but she never expected that this girl, whom she was careful to guard against, would have such a clear heart.She didn't feel her eyes were slightly wet, and she felt apologetic in her heart.

She couldn't help reaching out to grab Wanxi's hand.With this catch, Wanxi subconsciously withdrew her hand.The queen quickly turned Wanxi's hand over to look at it - she saw a palm that was originally soft and smooth, but now it was covered with red blood marks vertically and horizontally by the sharp edge of dried grass!
