Chapter 111 Shocking Snakes to Draw Holes
"Yo, why did Miss Yihui come in person?" A flattering inner prisoner stood at the door of the food prison. From afar, he saw a woman in a blue and white palace costume coming and hurriedly greeted her in person.
"The Empress wants to use some fresh lotus root, so she ordered me to choose." Unlike the enthusiasm of the internal prison, Yihui only briefly explained the reason, so there was no superfluous words and went straight in.
The internal supervisors in the palace and the maids of honor usually form an interest alliance. Even if there is no such relationship in it, they will do their best in face. For the favorite concubine or the people in the high-ranking palace, it is natural to flatter, but some internal supervisors who are in charge of the various important ecumen in the palace, many palace people are also polite.
For example, don't despise this food supervisor. Although the status is not high, if you really offend and can't get good ingredients and return to your own children's palace, you will be scolded by the master for being useless. Although you can't give it clearly, the person inside says no, or is predetermined by a high-ranking lady. Can you still grab it? There is a lot of operable space in the middle.
However, although he was not liked by Yihui and lost face, Zhang Xing was not angry. He still followed him and personally ordered his men to choose the freshest lotus root for Miss Yihui.
Although the ice concubine is not the most favored, she is one of the four concubines with the highest rank in the palace except for the queen, and the girl in front of her is the first maid in front of the ice concubine. How can he be offended by his little Zhang Xing?
"Well, relying on the fact that I am a celebrity in front of the ice concubine, I don't pay attention to others. Even Grandpa Zhang has to accompany me with a smiling face like this." On the other side, there is a maid of honor who is squatting on the ground to choose lotus seeds. She seems to be very unaccustomed to the kind of person who is spoiled and proud.
"That is, everyone is a slave. Where is she noble? Not to mention her, what about the Ice Concubine..." Another maid of honor in gray-green clothes quietly agreed and despised.
However, listening to her words that seemed to be humiliating and the ice concubine, the previous maid quickly stopped her, looked around and told her, "You can't say this nonsense. It's okay for us to talk before, but if you are caught, it will be bad."
"Sister Su Xin is too cautious. That's why we just choose to meet here. Isn't it because we like how many people are here?" The maid in gray and green clothes looked at others proudly, "Sister, look, it's too late for these people to be busy with themselves. Some of them have to quarrel with other palaces because of the ingredients. How can anyone pay attention to us?"
"That's what my sister said. I don't know what my sister is looking for me today? Didn't the Empress say that there is no big deal? Don't meet easily, so as not to be found out.
Speaking of this, the two got closer and closer. I don't know what to say, but the woman named Su Xin's face is getting worse and worse. Carelessly, a word of resentment came to the ears of others. She felt something was wrong. She immediately picked up a lotus seed in her hand and frowned, "Why is this lotus seed not as full as the other day before?"
It turned out that it was because of Lianzi, but this person didn't look like a face in the palace and didn't pay attention to her.
"That damn maidservant, I must tell my mother that she can't live or die!" Su Xin lowered his head and crushed the lotus seeds in his hand.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, the other maid showed a touch of joy and came over and whispered. Neither of them noticed that there was a coarse cloth maid with her back to them, with her head buried very low, and her long hair covered most of her face, but the bottom of her eyes were gray.
"Forget it, this lotus seed is not good. Instead of taking it back to be scolded, it's better to go back to the palace and explain to the Empress. It's better to take some plums to make soup." After a while, Su Xin stood up, muttered and walked out.
"Sister, take your time. I came here to choose lotus seeds by the order of the little master. Although these are average, I still take some back and then care about them." The maid in green said goodbye to him with a smile and continued to pick and pick in the basket in front of her, but she looked absent-minded and stood up and left for a while.
"Jiacao, have you got the lotus seeds back?" As soon as she entered Qiluan Hall, the Qingwu girl beside Ling Jieyu came forward and asked in person, "The little master has been a little angry recently, but he is waiting to eat lotus seed cake."
Jiacao quickly took out the lotus seeds he had just received and said, "Sister Qingwu, look, they are full, and the maidservant is the best choice." Although everyone is a slave, she doesn't have to call herself like this, but the person in front of her is the first trusted person of the little master. Of course, we should have a good relationship.
"But how did I hear that the lotus seeds in the food supervisor today are not very good? You girl, aren't you Sister Qingwu?" Zhu Er came out of nowhere and asked rudely.
When Jiacao heard this, she immediately felt guilty, but it must not be seen. She immediately retorted, "Whose nonsense do you listen to? If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself." With that, he handed the bag containing lotus seeds to Zhu Er.
Zhu Er didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at her with a smile. Jiacao's heart was furious, and then he became angry. Zhu Er thought he was something, and he was originally the same as her. By flattering Erlan, Qingwu and others, he also entered the eyes of the little master, and now he actually taught her a lesson.
In contrast, she can only stay in the small kitchen all day long. Even if she goes out, few people know her. For example, Yihui, the great maid of honor around the ice concubine, is that the master is not very favored now. Outside, he can still show off his power and flatter everyone.
And she obviously served Ling Jieyu, the most favored person in the palace now, but she didn't get any benefit. She didn't want to go out. In this case, what does the good or bad of the little master have to do with her? It's better to find another way out than to bury it like this.
Thinking like this, Jiacao's expression changed several times. After handing over the lotus seed to Qingwu, he casually found an excuse and returned to the small kitchen.
"Sister Qingwu, this girl is usually in the small kitchen, silent, but she can't see that she is such a person." Zhu Er gritted her teeth.
"If such a person stays in our palace, is it a scourge, especially in the kitchen and other important places. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, she knows who it is, so she can't do anything more.
Qingwu did not dare to delay, and immediately told Ling Xiao about this matter. Miss, in our palace, the discipline is very strict. The maidservant and Erlan are watching closely, but there is nothing unclean. I just didn't expect that the other side of the small kitchen was really scared. Fortunately, she found it early. Otherwise, if she did something in the little owner's food, it would be really bad.
Ling Xiao is not afraid of this. At least she has studied medicine with Liu Bo for several years, and it is not so easy to be tampering with. Therefore, she didn't pay special attention to this part. Now it seems that she has really ignored it.
"Miss, what are you going to do with Jiacao?" Qingwu asked. Seeing that Ling Xiao was a little hesitant, she quickly advised, "Miss, don't be soft on this kind of person. If you have the first time, there will be a second time. This kind of person can't be trusted. If it is known by other palace people, you may think that you are weak and can be bullied. At that time, there will be more black-hearted people.
Ling Xiao closed his eyes, squinted, and then opened his eyes and said, "Of course I can't bear it." In this life, in addition to the persecution of her aunt, what she hates most is betrayal, especially the betrayal of the people around her. It's just that what is the charge for dealing with her?"
When Qingwu heard this, he also frowned. Yes, although Jiacao sat down and recited the master's matter, this matter can't be said on the surface. And if you say that she and Ling Yuechan fabricate a crime, whether it is Jiacao or Ling Yuechan, they are all the people around the young lady. If they make any mistakes, it will naturally implicate the young lady's reputation.
However, you can't clearly know that someone is unfavorable to the young lady, but you can only watch and have no power to fight back, right? What can I do to punish Jiacao and Ling Yuechan without involving the young lady?
"Qingwu, you can make lotus seed cake first. I want to think about it." Ling Xiao first sent away the blue fog, sat on the soft couch, and thought about the past two days.
Jiacao is easy to deal with, but Ling Yuechan can't stay any longer. She must find a way to get her out of the palace! There are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. This time, she can unite with the medicine concubine to destroy Lingxiao's famous festival. What else can't she do?
It's just that she must find a big handle to pinch her, otherwise, I'm afraid she will take out her mother again to threaten her. By the way, Mingjie... Ling Xiao's eyes flashed. Since you have done such a thing, don't blame me. I'm just treating him in his own way. For the sake of you being my sister, I won't embarrass you too much.
However, before that, let's deal with Jiacao first. It's just that I can't think of any good idea for a while. After a while, without a clue, Ling Xiao planned to go to the small kitchen to have a look.
"Sister Qingwu, your craftsmanship is really good. I don't know if you can teach slaves and maidservants?" As soon as Ling Xiao walked to the door of the small kitchen, there came a fragrance of lotus seeds and the sweet and glutinous fragrance of flour. Qingwu was neatly taking off the first steamed lotus seed cake from the stove. Jiacao wanted to come forward and talk to Qingwu, but was squeezed away by Zhu Er from the side to prevent her from approaching.
Jiacao looked embarrassed and was about to say something. When he saw Ling Xiao coming in, he hurried to salute. How did the little master come to such a place? If there is anything, just tell the maidservant. The little master came in person, but he carefully stained the little master's shoes.
Ling Xiao looked at her. Obviously, she was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. Why was she so big-minded? It doesn't matter if you are big-minded. It's just that it's so unfaithful and unrighteous, but also stupid. It's really self-destructive to be used for nothing. He sighed in his heart and ignored her.
"Little master, why are you here? The lotus seed cake has just been cooked. Just eat it while it's hot. Don't you taste it now?" Seeing Ling Xiao coming, Qingwu also quickly put down the work at hand and simply saluted.
The edge of the pot is filled with fog, and the fog is mixed with a sweet smell, which increases people's appetite. Ling Xiao didn't pay attention to it. He took a piece of lotus seed cake and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and soft. It was really delicious.
"I'll send some to Xuan Xiaozhu and Momi later."
"Yes."
Ling Xiao was about to go out. In a blink of an eye, he suddenly turned his head, looked at the green fog, and looked at Jiacao, and suddenly had an idea.
