Chapter 125 Drunken Taiping (15)
Cuiyi laughed, the laughter was tired and dejected, "You forgot how those unfavored concubines gave us this and that, begging us to mention their names in front of the lord, talk Their kind words? Our lord, at home and outside, groups of women are staring at him, and he doesn't even care about it. If he doesn't see it, he throws it aside, and he won't remember it until he bumps into it. As the saying goes,' Three-point love when I meet', rather than being a concubine, guarding that worthless name and getting moldy, I would rather stay by the prince's side and be a maid, so that I can see him every day. They say, "One day, the husband and wife are hundred Rien', not to mention seeing the sky in front of his eyes, serving him from head to toe, it is my wishful thinking, always thinking that he can take care of a little bit of affection, but who knows that he doesn't care about me like this, doesn't treat me as a human being, let me I'll serve the woman he picked up from the brothel!"

Tears overflowed, and Cuiyi covered her face with her hands.Youyan's eyes were also red, she hugged her by her shoulders, hugged and patted her, "If you mention this, I'd rather talk about you. Let's forget about it behind our backs, because you take one bite in front of so many people." 'Bitch', if it gets to that person's ears later, it will be another dispute. I think she looks friendly, but in fact she is very capable. She is not easy to deal with. Why do you have to provoke her? Just say you You didn't tell me about this stupid thing my son did. If I knew, I would definitely not allow you. You put a needle in that girl's shoe, just prick it, and it will be over without pain or itching. But you yourself will be punished to come here to suffer. Look at the black charcoal used in this place. You are used to silver charcoal. How can you bear the smell? The kang is cold and hard, and you may sleep for two nights I'm really going to catch a cold. When a person is under a low eaves, it's better to keep your head down. You just said that the prince has never had any temperament in women, but he has a special liking for this one. You said it was fate Forget it, it doesn’t matter if that woman is clever, but things are already like this, if you insist on going head-to-head, isn’t that hitting a rock with an egg? You’d better bear with it.”

Cuiyi stared blankly and smiled again, her eyes flickering, "I want to bear it too, but you think about it, you Yan, if there is someone, you can't look down on someone at all, but you can get it without any effort, you can't even dream of it." Everything you dare to think about, you still have to face this person every day, kneeling her, begging her, flattering her, how would you feel? Every time it takes my turn to sit on the watch, I huddle alone outside the door on the hard-frozen floor Going up, listening to the woman in the fragrant and warm bed and the lord's love and ecstasy, the thin door between us seems to separate the three realms and six realms[7], she is a human being, and I am an animal ;She is a god, and I am a hungry ghost. How can I be calm when I see her, and how can I not be angry?"

"Cuiyi," You Yanyi ran out of words and finally shook her head, "You really answered that sentence, 'Miss is a maidservant'."

The corners of Cuiyi's lips twitched, "Maid girl, she is also better than a kiln sister who rides thousands of people and spans ten thousand people."

Youyan sighed again, and didn't say anything more, she just let go of Cuiyi's hand and stood up.She patted the plain satin cotton skirt on her body, and the coldness of winter pierced through the corners of the skirt.

"I'll go back to Mrs. Duan tomorrow, and tell her that you have been raised for two days, and the cold is gone. Please let her allow you to move back. You can do it yourself."

11.
When going to bed the next night, Youyan mentioned this to Qingtian.Qingtian didn't ask any further questions, just put a fairy deer enamel back comb in his hand to the dressing table, "Now that it's done, come back."

When Tianming woke up, Qingtian saw Cuiyi knelt under the bed again, and deliberately smiled at her, "I know that my body is prone to cold, so I shouldn't stand in the wind. There is a reason for everything. For this reason, if you turn around and suffer yourself, it is pitiful and no one will be pitiful except for someone to say 'confused'. You are such a smart person, you should know how to take good care of yourself."

Cuiyi was silent at first, when Youyan bumped her shoulder lightly, she responded in a low voice, "Thank you for your teaching, Ma'am."

Qingtian picked up the mouthwash, swirled it in his mouth, and spit it into the silver bowl of happiness and longevity held by Cuiyi, "By the way, Cuiyi, when I was soaking my feet a while ago, you said it wasn't your job. I just remembered, it seems that since the prince returned to the mansion, Youyan and the others are busy inside and out, and you have never seen you do anything. I want to ask, what was yours in the mansion in the past work?"

After waiting for a long time, Cuiyi finally said in a half-dead way: "I don't have much work, but sometimes I just pour tea and water for the prince."

Qingtian turned her beautiful eyes, and then took the initiative to say, "Okay, then from now on, the work of pouring tea and water in the near incense hall will be yours, or let others say that I am too pampered, It is actually more useful than the master."

She did what she said, after washing and grooming, the first sentence was passed on, and the second sentence was evoked: "Cuiyi, Cuiyi, pour tea."

Everyone else was busy with their own things, only Cuiyi and Zaiyu were idle. They put up a small pier to lean against the wall, and the cat crouched under the wall, basking in the sun together.

Hearing the call from the room, Cuiyi only slightly raised her eyelids, and puffed the tip of her nose.You Yan next to him was twirling a net, and with a "beep", he dropped the net and got up to go inside.

On the inlaid kang inside, Qingtian was wearing a leather jacket with big flowers from Baozhao, and he and Zhaohua were sitting facing each other and playing with flowers, their four hands were tied together by a red rope that formed a double cross.When Youyan put the poured tea in front of her, Qingtian smiled and gave her a sideways glance, "I just said that pouring the tea in the future is the job of Cuiyi, what are you busy with?" Then he raised his voice softly, "Cuiyi, pour the tea , Cuiyi!"

In a short while, Cuiyi was swept in by a gust of wind, grabbed the cup of tea that Xiaoyan had just poured, poured it into the tea barrel on the ground, and refilled it into the thermos pot, stepped forward and "bang" straight on the kang table, Twist away.

"stop."

Qingtian spoke indifferently behind her, and glanced at the splash of water, "Is this how you serve those concubines in the palace?"

Cuiyi turned her feet lightly. Today, she is wearing a bright white jacket, an autumn-scented green jacket and a blue satin skirt. She also has a half-moon water wave girdle and a silver bead palace sash, standing like a fairy in Guanghan.

"I just said that in the mansion, I only serve the prince, not even the step-concubine, I have never served the concubines, I don't know how to serve."

This arrogant confession only made Qingtian twitch one corner of her mouth, she turned the knot in her hand into a fish shape, lifted it up, and let go of Zhaohua's bound fingers, "No, Then you have to learn. Zhaohua—"

According to the flowers, the kang came, and took a new teacup from the tea tree, "Come on, Cuiyi, I will teach you. The tea is poured like this, and the floating tea foam cannot be washed away. The empress has a delicate tongue, so you pour it After finishing the tea, remember to blow it, and you have to be careful when you blow it, and you have to be gentle, so don’t let the saliva get into the tea, see it? And when you deliver the tea, you have to watch your steps, why? It’s like that elephant came in? The teacup should be placed firmly, and remember to say: ‘My lady, please use it, and my lady will iron it carefully.’ That’s what it sounds like.”

Qingtian raised his eyelids to the tureen on the table, "Cuiyi, just pour another cup of tea as Hua taught you, and let me see, you are so smart, you should learn it soon."

Cuiyi choked there, but Youyan pulled her hard from the side, winked and pouted, "Cuiyi, tsk, Cuiyi, did you hear what your mother said? Quick, pour another cup. Cuiyi, you Is it a dead person? Move, hurry up."

Cuiyi had no choice but to endure the humiliation, and poured a cup of tea in front of Qingtian as usual, and snorted like a mosquito: "Your Majesty, please use it."

"You've learned well, let's put it aside." Qingtian laughed it off, and sent his hands stretched with knots to Zhaohua.Zhao Hua stretched out her hand to make a hook and knot, and then pulled out a big tea bowl that was connected with each other.

Cuiyi bit her lip and turned out of the room, walked to the place where she was sitting, stared at the pier for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zaiyu nestled next to the pier, smiled ferociously, raised her foot and kicked it.With a sound of "嗤", Yu tucked his tail and ran away.On one side, Yue Po and the others looked at each other silently, and no one made a sound.

As soon as the fifth day passed, the sky became cloudy again.

It looked as if it was going to snow early in the morning, so Qingtian didn't even go out of the door near Xiangtang. He just locked himself in the post room, practicing calligraphy at one end, and at the other end asked someone to pass the news to the ling boy in the garden at the Yingyin Pavilion in the middle of the lake. Sing a song, ordering "no matter what, whatever the master taught recently, just sing as you like".

It didn't take long before Xiao Tuo, the shengdiguan, sneaked in with the wind. First, Shengdan sang "Qin Tiao" and "Broken Bridge", and then Lao Sheng's "Nanlu Yizhi" in "The Palace of Eternal Life". Flower", a full eight revolutions in one go.Qingtian listened fascinatedly under the window, and he hung his pen to admire: "Steward Sun said that these little operas raised in the garden are all teenagers, but I listen to them these days, and they are actually better than the big class outside."

The one rubbing the ink beside him was Zhao Hua, holding the ink ingot and laughing, "I'm also someone who has studied opera for a few days, I'm really ashamed to hear what they said."

Qingtian held the writing brush upside down, and tapped the tip of the white jade pen on his white jade-like forehead, "You, I didn't say that, the few songs I knew were all sung in a nonsensical way, if it wasn't for being a good person, who would be the best?" Call your note."

Zhaohua covered her mouth and laughed, "You're still 'Niang Niang', and your mouth is full of 'Plague' and 'Tiao Zi', what are you talking about?"

Qingtian also laughed, "How dare you play cymbals with me, you little brat? Look at me painting a big turtle on your face."

The two played around for a while, and then heard it again, and there was another Xiao Dan singing in the pavilion. Although the voice was a little immature, it was also engraved with feathers and words, and the words were affectionate.Feeling itchy, Qingtian hummed a few words, then simply dropped the pen, and pushed Zhaohua, "Go and get my pipa."
