Take out a set of white gold-rimmed soup bowls, put the shaved ice slices on the ice cubes, and then skillfully squeeze out the squeezed grape juice and pear juice with gauze and put them into the soup bowls respectively. After they were done, they were stunned in place.

, there was a trace of hesitation in my heart, wondering if I was being impatient by doing this, but I was also afraid of losing such a good opportunity.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth, picked up the ice-cold sour plum soup and walked out. Before he reached the front hall, he heard his voice: "'If you can't advance to fulfill your loyalty, if you can't retreat, you can protect your wealth. Manage the good side, the king and his ministers.

Two defeats.', 'Kill Daoji and destroy the Great Wall, kill Xiao Yi and Dongfeng faints, Hongwu kills the founding heroes like slaughtering sheep and hogs, Jingnan's army rises but Jinchuan is not defended, it is a victory.'"

He hummed and said: "Speaking of which, as a guest, this person is dedicated to his master, but he chose the wrong master." Thirteen said: "His original intention was to give the master a warning.

It is a pity that Nian Gengyao did not understand his painstaking efforts. However, what is even more despicable is that he should not have written these into the book."

It turned out that it was about Nian Gengyao and the secret agent Wang Jingqi. When I was looking up information before, I had read about this person. Wang Jingqi wrote a book. I can’t remember the specific name, but I can still vaguely recall that the book was very important.

He touted major events and satirized current affairs. The main purpose of the article was to blame the ruler for being jealous and to complain about the meritorious officials. He believed that no matter what the meritorious officials did, they would be punished by the ruler.

While I was thinking wildly, I heard him say in a cold voice: "'The emperor's money is worthless.' Without the support of the master, how dare this little secret servant dare to say such absurd and crazy words."

After a while, the two people's words were no longer serious. I stood there, breathed softly, and walked towards the two of them.

I walked up to the two of them and gently put down the soup bowl. I prepared grape juice for Yinzhen and added a white jasmine flower to the grape juice, while I prepared pear juice for Thirteen and put a few jasmine flowers on top of the pear juice.

Red plum blossoms, compared with that time when I went out to the fortress, only the container for holding sour plum soup was different, everything else was the same.

Yinzhen stared at the soup bowl, and Thirteen frowned at me. I stood aside silently, but my eyes were fixed on Yinzhen's expression, not knowing what was waiting for me. He didn't raise his head and picked up the spoon.

Take a sip.

The spoon fell on the table. His face was a little pale, and he was a little distracted staring at the sour plum soup. Thirteen looked at him worriedly. The three of them were silent for a while, and he suddenly raised his head, stood up, walked to me, and raised his hand with his hand.

I raised my chin. I raised my head and looked back at him, with some heat in my eyes. Gradually, my vision became blurry and I couldn't see his face clearly. The two stood like this for a while, and he sighed softly, let go, and turned around.

Walk outside.

I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip tightly, tears streaming down my face. Thirteen was still sitting upright, slowly drinking spoonful after spoonful. My heart was filled with pain and I stood there dumbly. Thirteen stood up and walked over.

, stared at me and said: "Xiaowen, this sour plum soup."

Before he finished speaking, my mind was empty at the moment and I said calmly: "What's wrong?" Thirteen frowned slightly, stared at me silently and asked: "Where are you from, who are you, and why are you here?

When you come to my house, you have an extraordinary familiarity with the palace, as if you have been living in the palace."

I know the doubts in his heart, and I want to say loudly to him, 'I am Ruoxi, your friend Ruoxi.' But is this realistic? He will think that I am someone with ulterior motives.

I raised my head and said with a wry smile: "Thirteenth Master, since you trust me once and let me accompany Gege into the palace, then don't ask anything. You can trust me just like you trust your friend Ruoxi. You care about me."

People are also people I care about.”

Since I can't explain it, I won't explain it, but I can't harm Thirteen because of it, just like what Fourteen thought.

It has been more than ten days since Kunning Palace came here, and I still can’t figure it out. On the third day after the sour plum soup incident, Ulanara came to Zhenxi Pavilion, talked to Shisan for a while, and then directly took me

I asked for it, saying that there has always been a lack of a girl around me who is smart, clever, clever and intelligent. Shisan took one look at me and agreed.

After arriving at Tishun Hall, Ulanara only asked me to serve tea and did not arrange for me to do other work. This confirmed my guess that she did not simply want a slave. She treated the harem according to Yinzhen.

She should not know what happened in Zhenxi Pavilion these days. She must have also noticed me at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day. But what exactly she meant is unknown. Thinking about the dozen or so people in the palace

Nian cautiously guessed the thoughts of Kangxi and his brothers, but did not observe her carefully. She could tolerate Ruoxi because she knew that Yinzhen truly loved Ruoxi. But I am no longer like Ruoxi.

What will she do to me? I know she loves Yinzhen very much, but who knows what a woman who loves a man who doesn’t love her will do? She shook her head vigorously, thinking no more,

No matter what she wants to do? I'm not here right now. What is he doing now? I haven't seen him since I came here.

Although it has entered autumn, the weather is no different from summer. The leaves on both sides are shining white under the sun, and it looks more and more dazzling. Perhaps the walls in the Forbidden City are too high, and there is no wind to penetrate. As long as the sun is shining,

As soon as he showed his face, the entire palace looked like a big steamer.

After leaving Kunning Palace, I strolled into the alley leading to Yangxin Palace, walking slowly. I looked up at the red palace walls on both sides, then lowered my head and smiled. The prison I wanted to escape from before is now gone.

Come in without hesitation.

There was a faint sound of footsteps, and I raised my head. I felt a little bit regretful, but at the same time I felt a little sad. It had already left its traces, but it was unavoidable, so I stood aside and said, "Your Majesty."

auspicious."

The eighth master smiled lightly and asked: "Go to the Yangxin Palace." I stood up and said with a smile: "The queen has something to report to the emperor." He shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Really?" I panicked.

I hurriedly asked: "Where is the Fourteenth Master?" He raised his eyebrows and said softly: "I'm going back." I sighed and said with a smile: "I will send you off to the prince." He looked at me and left slowly.

As soon as he left, the smile on my face dropped. It turned out that Shi Shi had returned to Jingling.

I was silent in my heart, lowered my head and walked forward slowly. 'Huh!' I sat down on the ground, and I was shocked again. I didn't know who I bumped into. I was about to get up, and when I looked up, a pair of bright yellow boots appeared in front of me.

In front of you.

I stood there blankly, "You are so brave, slave, don't get out of the way." Gao Wuyong behind him scolded me softly. I was stunned for a moment, and felt sour in my heart. I stood up and knelt down: "This slave has seen the emperor." He said softly: "Get up.

Come on." I stood up and stepped aside.

He glanced at me and asked calmly: "Why are you here?" I said: "This slave has just entered the palace and lost his way." He was silent for a while, then asked again: "When did you enter the palace?" I was startled.

, and then I understood in my heart that he didn't know that I was here, I raised my head and looked at him silently, and said: "This slave has been in Kunning Palace for more than ten days."

His eyes darkened, and he glanced at me again: "I'm about to go to Kunning Palace, you can come with me." He still had the same tone as before. I don't know if he doubted what I just said. Gao Wuyong and I

Following side by side, Gao Wuyong looked at him again and again in confusion, but I watched his back getting thinner and thinner, and the pain in my heart became more and more serious. He slept for two or three hours every day, and did everything by himself.

Did he still have a knot in his heart, or did he want to use practical actions to prove that he was a good emperor?

Gao Wuyong next to me touched me with his arm. I turned my head to look at him. He frowned and shook his head slightly. I smiled at him and nodded. Yes, how could a little palace maid have such straight eyebrows?

I looked at the emperor with sharp eyes. I smiled secretly in my heart. I really can't do this anymore. An aunt who has been in the palace for more than ten years cannot lose her life because of the rules.

Reclining on the recliner, looking up at the blue clouds through the gaps between the branches and leaves, meditating on my thoughts.

I, Cuizhu, live in this courtyard. She is the personal slave brought by the Nala clan from Prince Yong's Mansion. Now she is also the leading female official of the Kunning Palace. Although I have just come to the Kunning Palace, the Nala clan even

She has not met me for a few times, but she arranged it this way. Although I don't know her true intention, no one with a discerning eye can see that my identity is different.

Everyone probably thought that I came from Prince Yi's palace, so they didn't have any gossip.

Others don’t know the inside story. Cuizhu has been with Nala for a long time, so how can they not know what Nala is thinking. Therefore, she personally prepared everything for my daily life without any neglect. Everyone in the palace also

He is very kind and polite to me.

Since this was the case, I was happy to cooperate. I had been suffering from cold for the past few days and my head was dizzy, so I asked Cuizhu for leave. Nala promised to have something to say, and she not only readily agreed, but even promised that I could rest for a few more days.

On a day with blue sky, white clouds and clear skies, I should feel refreshed. But a breeze blows, and I feel slightly sleepy.

There was a "bang" sound, and the courtyard door was pushed open with great force. I sighed helplessly to myself. Before I could open my eyes, someone had already squeezed into the lounge chair next to me.

I frowned slightly and scolded Cheng Huan beside me: "Sooner or later, you will tear down this courtyard door." I moved my body so that she could sit more comfortably. She lowered her legs and hugged my arm and said softly.

: "Just take it apart and put it back on, that's what Aunt Ruoxi often says."

I took off the handkerchief and wiped away the fine sweat on her forehead. She raised her head, and after I finished wiping, she waved to the outside and said, "Brother Hongli, are you standing at the door as a doorkeeper? Come in quickly."

It turned out that Cheng Huan did not come alone. I was a little startled and looked around. I saw Hong Li standing at the door with a smile in his eyes. He had obviously been standing there for a long time. He just watched Cheng Huan and I being affectionate without making a sound.

The Hongli in front of him is already a boy of fourteen or five years old. He is completely different from the child whose eyes followed the little palace maid two years ago. He has grown much taller, and his eyebrows look very much like Yinzhen.

I hurriedly stood up and bowed to him: "I have seen Fourth Brother." While Cheng Huan was speaking, he had already run into the room and took out a chair. Hongli took it and put it down.

He waved his hand for me to stand up, and just as he was about to speak, Cheng Huan was already standing in front of me, raising his head and saying, "Auntie, I said the food you cooked is more delicious than the royal food in the palace. Brother Hongli laughed at me for bragging, so I brought him here

, let him see your skills." After saying that, he glanced at the purse on Hongli's waist and smiled proudly.

After entering Thirteen Mansion this time, Cheng Huan had just returned from the palace. Since she had not lived in the mansion for many years, to her, except for Thirteen and Qiao Hui, everyone else was a stranger. She looked depressed and low in energy.

, I have been asking Qiaohui all day long whether Aunt Ruoxi will never come back. I have no other choice but to constantly use modern methods to cook meals for her, and try my best to make her life rich and fulfilling.

These left her with no free time to think about other things. Everything went as she wished, and Chenghuan gradually returned to her former innocence and liveliness. When I breathed a sigh of relief, I discovered another problem. This little girl was obsessed with everything I wanted.

The cooked meals should be eaten from time to time.

Hongli looked down and shook his head with a smile. I stared at Chenghuan with a smile. Chenghuan smiled and pulled my sleeves. I squatted down and she covered her mouth and whispered: "If I didn't brag, he would have to wear it on me."

Give me his purse, which was made by Asang in his palace, and he cherishes it."

I shook my head and stood up. I bowed to him again and said, "My slave, go get ready right now." He glanced at Cheng Huan and said with a smile, "When there are no outsiders in the future, you don't need to be so polite, just like you and Cheng Huan.

It’s the same when we’re together, otherwise, Cheng Huan would feel uncomfortable.”

I whispered, "I don't dare, slave." Chenghuan looked at him, then at me, shook my arm and said, "Why don't you dare? If he wants to use elder brother's pretensions to suppress others, I will just coax him away."

After saying that, he pushed Hongli and said, "I don't want your wallet anymore, you go."

I hurriedly pulled Cheng Huan over and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother Si, don't think too much, I just obey your orders." Hongli raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Huan shaking his head and smiling helplessly. I smiled at him and felt happy in my heart.

After painstaking efforts, Cheng Huan deliberately got closer to him.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Hong Li looked surprised. Cheng Huan, who had already been seated and waiting, took a piece of sweet and sour fish and was about to put it in her mouth. Seeing that I was still standing aside, she put it down again, stood up, and pulled me to sit next to her.

: "Auntie, just pretend that he is not here and we will be as before."

Perhaps he was surprised by my different approach from the palace. At this time, he was holding a handful of garlic mixed with shredded eggplant, and put it in his mouth to slowly taste it. After listening to Cheng Huan's words, he nodded and said: "You are so reserved, I'm afraid

Cheng Huan will never bring me here again."

Cheng Huan hurriedly swallowed it, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here." Hongli untied his purse and handed it across the table, smiling and saying, "You're not bragging, it's delicious." Cheng Huan smiled proudly and put it on the table.

I picked it up and handed it back to Hongli and said: "A gentleman does not take away what others like."

Cheng Huan said while eating: "I don't care about this thing either, I just don't like Asang and I don't want brother Hongli to wear something embroidered by her."
