royal princess

Chapter 87
Yihexuan.

"Yue Changxin's craftsmanship is really good. The noodles are very strong, and the soup is rich in flavor. Your majesty, please eat more." Si Jin said beside him, and put two slices of beef for Xiao Qi in the bowl.

After morning worship, Xiao Qi came directly to Yihexuan, with a tired look on his face, and asked her what she wanted to eat.Xiao Qi doesn't like desserts, after much deliberation, eating a bowl of steaming noodles is the most comfortable.It happened that she didn't eat much for breakfast, so she didn't eat much at the time.

Xiao Qi came and cried out that he was hungry, and Si Jin's stomach was also hungry. A thought flashed in his mind, and he wanted to eat noodles more and more.There is nothing to say about Yue Changxin's craftsmanship, two bowls of noodles, a plate of thinly sliced ​​beef, a plate of preserved eggs, sprinkled with minced ginger, garlic and coriander, and a small vinegar pot the size of a palm .

Si Jin loves vinegar when eating noodles. It is both appetizing and refreshing. After eating a bowl of noodles, there will be thin sweat on his forehead, refreshing!

Xiao Qi didn't have much appetite at first, if he wasn't very hungry, he wouldn't be able to eat.Seeing Si Jin eating heartily now, he even got an appetite along with him, and the bowl of noodles quickly drained.Sweat broke out on the forehead and back, and the whole person suddenly felt a little better.Looking at the empty bottom of the bowl, even drinking the soup, Xiao Qi subconsciously looked at Si Jin.

Every time I dine with her, I can always whet my appetite.

Si Jin asked someone to clean up the things on the table, and the room smelled of beef noodles, so she dragged Xiao Qi to the small study room, the two of them washed their hands and rinsed their mouths, and Si Jin made tea herself Bring it to Xiao Qi, and ask softly: "Does the emperor want to take a nap here with my concubine? I see that you are not in good spirits. The court affairs are really important, but the dragon body is also important."

Xiao Qi listened to Si Jin's words and didn't mention Qian Cairen, so he raised his eyes and looked at her, "No need, I have something to do in a while, I'll take a rest here with you and I'm leaving."

"Then you drink tea." Si Jin pushed the colorful seaweed-patterned teacup forward, with a slight smile on her face.

Today the sun came out and shone in through the window, falling warmly on the person's body.The golden sunlight fell on Si Jin's face, the fluff on her face was faintly visible in the sunlight, she still looked like a little girl, with a faint smile on her mouth, making her feel comfortable and at ease.

I just hate that she didn't mention anything about Qian Cairen when she knew about it, Xiao Qi picked up the tea cup and took a sip, it was his usual favorite tea.

"You know about money talents?"

Hearing Xiao Qi take the initiative to mention this matter, Si Jin's face froze, she really didn't want to talk about this topic.This is really not a very good topic. I sighed softly in my heart, but said on my mouth: "I have heard about it since I came back from Chongming Palace. It's just that the empress ordered everyone to visit Jingyuexuan, so this concubine That's not over."

It was a routine report, Xiao Qi said, yes, she was naturally unwilling to mention this matter.

"Qingyan, you can rest." Xiao Qi felt that it was boring, so she stood up, she didn't want to tell herself these things, but could she force her to do so.

Si Jin pursed her lips and watched Xiao Qi get up, and she also stood up quickly, not because she couldn't see the disappointment on his face, but she really didn't want to get involved in this matter.Whether Qian Cairen's child was an accident or a murder, what did she do to get involved?

What does Xiao Qi want her to say?She really doesn't want to be the Xie Yuhua for this kind of thing.

"Chen and concubine respectfully send the emperor."

Xiao Qi paused, then lifted the curtain and walked out.

After Xiao Qi left, Si Jin didn't let anyone come in to wait on her. She leaned on the soft pillow and stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze.Qian Cairen's miscarriage was just the beginning, and the person behind the scenes was probably pointing at the noble concubine. She was a small concubine, and she didn't have a strong foundation in or outside the palace. Why would she dare to interfere with this?

In the end, she won't get any benefit from this matter, and if she mixes it up casually, she might be filled with cannon fodder.Xiao Qi wanted to talk to her, but she didn't dare to, and couldn't afford it.

Coming here, the most clear thing Si Jin thought about was that she must know her own weight, what she can do and what she can't do.

Can a soft heart survive?
Qian Cairen's miscarriage cast a shadow over the harem.The emperor was furious and ordered the queen to conduct a thorough investigation. For a while, there was turmoil in the palace.Even the servants in the Yihexuan went to the inner court to ask questions. After several times, the palace became more and more tense.

Although Si Jin was not able to be an interpreter that day, she still diligently delivered soup to Chongming Hall.Xiao Qi also knew what Si Jin was thinking, and he didn't refuse her to let her go, but he felt a bit suffocated in his heart, and he was inevitably a little depressed.

When she raised her head, she saw that Si Jin was doing needlework with her head down, her technique was still so unskilled, she was embroidering a pouch and a clump of green bamboo in her hand, and her figure was straight, she knew it was for him.These small-minded people are quick to turn, knowing that they have made themselves unhappy, so they please themselves from other places.

He was full of anger, seeing such a villain under his eyes every day, even though he was unfamiliar with his skills, he still relentlessly made needlework for himself, and he couldn't help but feel a soft spot in his heart.

Si Jin was trying her best to prick the needle. The embroidery looked really beautiful, but the embroidery needle was a bit mischievous in her hands.In a daze, the purse in his hand was suddenly pulled out.Looking up, Xiao Qi saw that not-so-beautiful purse being looked at in his hand, and layers of shyness suddenly appeared on his face.

Wanting to snatch the purse back, but there is a height limit, looking at the purse held high by Xiao Qi, he could only say: "I practice my hands first, this embroidery is not good, next time I will embroider a better one for you."

"Even if the embroidery is not good, it's still your heart, and it was stitched out by you stitch by stitch. I don't mind it."

Si Jin froze, and the redness on her face became deeper and deeper. Knowing that Xiao Qi took the initiative to pass her the steps, she hurried down the donkey, showing a big smile foolishly, "The concubine still wants to be the emperor's body." As for the clothes, I don’t dare to think about outer clothes based on my skills, so I just want to make you a middle coat, and now I’m learning how to cut clothes from the people in the sewing room.”

Xiao Qi looked down at Si Jin's expression of asking for credit, he was really cheeky, and climbed up the steps.

"Then when will you do it for me?"

"...Concubine, try to be as fast as possible." Suddenly, there was a feeling that she had dug a big hole for herself, and Si Jin was depressed.

"I'm waiting."

Si Jin: ...

Si Jin didn't listen to anything outside the window, and only worked on her clothes.Since that day, when Xiao Qi knew that she was going to make clothes for him, he asked her every time he saw her. She really didn't dare to be lazy, so she could only rush to work every day.The middle clothes are easier to make than the outer clothes. They don't need embroidery, they just need to be cut and then sewn together.It's just that her stitches are not neat.The stitches are not neat, and the clothes that are sewn are turned inside and out, which is really unsightly.Si Jin was going to be overwhelmed by worry, and she agreed that the clothes were sewn by her own hands, so she couldn't let the subordinates move.

In order to solve this problem, Si Jin thought of the simplest and clumsiest way. She drew a line on the edge of the clothes where the stitches were to be sewed, and she sewed along the line. This time it was finally eye-catching.

The aunt in the sewing room saw Xipin's method and was silent for a while, before she said: "If the people in the sewing room dare to do this, they must be beaten and kicked out of the palace."

Si Jin: ...

After Xiao Qi knew about this, it was rare for him to smile like a flower.

Si Jin was even more depressed.

By the time the clothes in Si Jin's hands were finished, the matter of Qian Cairen's miscarriage had also been found out.Under the emperor's instruction, the empress scrutinized, Qian Cairen's conceived empress was supposed to be her own, and when such a thing happened under her nose, the empress's annoyance can be imagined.Even if the emperor doesn't say anything, she will investigate strictly, and with the emperor's will, the empress will naturally interrogate him strictly.

"Master." Yun Chang raised the curtain and walked in gently.

Si Jin put down the clothes in her hands and raised her head to look at Yunshang.

Yun Shang looked into the master's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Fenghuan Palace took Jin Jieyu and Concubine Yugui away."

Si Jin pursed her lips when she heard the words, "I see."

Concubine Yugui has always been attached to the queen, and Jin Jieyu belongs to the concubine, what is going on now?Si Jin didn't understand it either, but at this point, the matter should come to an end soon, and it won't drag on for years.Moreover, in the harem, there should be no rumors of mutual murder between concubines. Even if Qian Cairen's miscarriage was plotted against him knowingly, if it spread outside, it could only be an accidental miscarriage.

With such dirty behavior in the harem, does the emperor Xiao Qi have a pretty face?Not to mention how to deal with the inside, the outside must be full of flowers to block the mouths of the world.

Three days later, Jin Jieyu suddenly became seriously ill and passed away.

A few days later, Jin Jieyu's father was impeached by the censor for corruption of ink. Xiao Qi was furious and ordered Dali Temple to investigate strictly.After a rigorous investigation by Dali Temple, Jin Jieyu's father was found guilty of corruption and dereliction of duty. It was also found out that he used his daughter to enter the palace as a concubine, secretly bribed officials, bought and sold official positions, played ink repeatedly, neglected his duties, and was ashamed of the emperor's grace. , the disaster is even worse.

God, furious!He was denounced for being inconsiderate of public opinion, his corpse was placed on a vegetarian meal, his official uniform was removed, and he was sent to prison to search his home.

In the first year of Si Jinchu's entry into the palace, due to the miscarriage of the rich and talented people in the harem, it was found out that the harem concubine Jin Jieyu had murdered the pregnant concubine, and it was found out that his father Qin Xuewen did not respect the laws of the country.Qin Xuewen was implicated in the crimes of several officials in the court, and from the harem to the front court, Xiao Qi seized the opportunity to rectify it cruelly.

After this incident, the civil and military ministers suddenly realized that the emperor, whom they had never paid attention to in the past, is now showing his skills with full firepower, his voice is like thunder, and his words are like steel needles, shocking the court!
The harem was in turmoil, and the previous court was stormy. Empress Chu was angry because of the money and talent, so the Chu family strongly supported the emperor's handling of Jin Jieyu and her father.With the great help of Duke Wei, Xiao Qi won a complete victory in this battle.

When the wind and rain have subsided completely, it will be the time for spring and flowers to bloom in the coming year.

A year later, as soon as spring came, Si Jin's figure was like a budding branch. The aunt who came to the sewing room for a measurement said with a smile: "Master has grown a lot this year, compared to last year's size. It can grow a bit."

Needless to say, Si Jin could feel her own height.Especially the soreness and pain in the chest, the originally slightly flat figure has also begun to take shape, and it has begun to grow into a big girl.

"What Auntie said is that the spring shirts made by the servants for the girls at the end of last year can't be worn now." Yun Chang said with a smile, picked up a piece of material and put it on her body, "Master, what do you think of this piece of material? It would be unique to cut it into a top, but when Aunt Guan bothered to put two hems on it, the slaves would think it would look better."

Si Jin glanced sideways, and saw that the rouge red lake brocade was covered with balls of patterned material, not to say that it was outstanding, but the color was dyed well, so she nodded casually.

Yun Shang put this piece of material aside, and picked up another piece of elastic ink silk to gesture, Aunt Guan smiled and said: "This is good for a skirt, and it can be made into a mid-color skirt, and it can be seen with a simple and elegant color."

"I think this one looks good too, master, what do you think?"

Si Jin's arrival in ancient times has opened up a lot of horizons, such as this ink silk silk, which is printed with various colors on light-colored silk with the technique of ink springing.The piece in Yunshang's hand is a pattern of a small maple leaf, which is quite generous.Before she could say yes, Yun Chang pulled up another piece of light grass green crepe, and the aunt next to her hurriedly said, "This is good for making a Yuehua skirt, pinch your teeth, and then border it, it's very special when you walk. pretty."

Si Jin simply stopped talking, just sat aside and looked at the two of them with a smile. One picked up the material and draped it on her body, and the other casually said what kind of clothes this material can make, what flowers are embroidered on it, and what techniques are used. Playing the ink or pinching the teeth, or pressing fine folds, or rolling several layers of borders, the more the two talked, the more lively and the better the interest.
