Work overtime

Chapter 404 What are your thoughts

When she heard the news, Jiang Jinxiu had just eaten a thin piece of mutton and sighed with satisfaction, "It tastes great. I'm so happy to be with my sister."

Jiang Yuebai picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine, "When you are young, you have to be kind to yourself."

It's fun and particularly festive.

"Follow sister and you'll have meat to eat." Jiang Jinxiu said with a smile, glancing towards the palace gate.

Qian Guiren was walking slowly towards this side, sniffing as he walked.This is so delicious, it smells so good.

When they saw the two Jiang sisters eating hotpot with a washbasin in front of the stove by the pond, they were stunned.

Jiang Jinxiu immediately stood up and saluted, while Qian Guiren waved his hand politely.

She is easy to talk to, but people around her can't afford to offend her.

Mr. Qian paid his respects to Jiang Yuebai as per the law, and Jiang Yuebai accepted it calmly and did not spare him.

Jiang Yuebai glanced at Qian Guiren with a smile, then turned to tell Baitao, "Qian Guiren, come and sit down. Baitao, hurry up and get a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

After he finished speaking, he saw a beautiful gift box in the other person's hand, "Sisters, come here and sit down, bring something else, it looks quite heavy. Susu, why don't you go and help hold it, don't tire yourself, noble man."

Susu immediately stepped forward and respectfully took away Qian Guiren's gift box.

Qian Guiren couldn't tell what was wrong, but he felt that Jiang Yuebai seemed a little too enthusiastic, and he was completely different from the one at this morning's meeting.

As far as Jiang Yuebai's current position is concerned, Sheng Chong Zhenglong doesn't need to please or win over herself at all.

The bruises on Jiang Yuebai's face were so obvious that Qian Guiren couldn't help but notice it, and he knew who did it without even thinking about it.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to pretend not to see it.

After Qian Guiren sat down, Jiang Yuebai took the initiative to say hello, "Eat! Eat it while it's hot. This is a non-spicy sauce plate. If you like spicy food, add it yourself."

Qian Guiren looked at the two plates in front of him, tears filled his eyes, and he felt homesick.

She comes from Sichuan, how could she not be able to eat spicy food?

It's just that after being in the palace for so many years, I was very cautious, and I didn't dare to eat strong-flavored food, including ginger and garlic, for fear of offending the emperor unintentionally, let alone eating hot pot, which was a delicacy stewed by poor people.

With tears in her eyes, she added a tablespoon of spicy seasoning to herself.

Jiang Yuebai was frightened when he saw it, and he kindly advised, "This is very spicy. One tablespoon will make it extremely spicy. Don't add too much first."

She saw the tears in Qian Guiren's eyes, and she thought she could understand him: it was the most sincere love for food, or maybe it was gratitude for being recognized by the people around him due to his humble status.She had a similar moment in her last life, but she pretended to be careless and held back her tears.

Qian Guiren did not explain. He held the chopsticks for a long time without picking up the food, holding back the tears that were about to fall from his eyes.

Jiang Yuebai greeted, "Eat, pick it up yourself!"

Qian Guiren finally picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but they fell into the pot again and again.

"Sister Qian, let me help you pick it up," Jiang Jinxiu, who had been silent until now, said sweetly, "I couldn't pick it up just now."

Qian Guiren's bowl was filled to the brim in no time. She held the bowl with tears in her eyes, and the food in her mouth was filled with the taste of memories and the sadness she had suppressed over the years.

Jiang Yuebai continued to eat hot pot happily, occasionally glancing at Qian Guiren secretly, thinking about the purpose of her coming to Tao Rui Palace.Are you looking for your sister, or are you looking for yourself after getting the news?Since the other party won't tell me, let's start by saying, "Are you just thinking about the injury on my face? It was from Concubine Jing."

Jiang Yuebai looked at Qian Guiren, observed the change in her expression, and said calmly, "After you left, Concubine Jing slapped me four times in a row without saying a word, oh, it seemed like five. A slap. It made my head dizzy and buzzing."

Qian Guiren was startled, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and swallowed.

Jiang Yuebai seemed to be afraid that Qian Guiren would not feel it intuitively. He put down his chopsticks and gestured, "That's it, slap me on the face. Then my face will be hot. Then it will be swollen."

Jiang Jinxiu stared at her sister dumbfounded. She didn't expect her sister to take the initiative to tell the scene at that time, and she didn't expect that she would describe it so vividly, as if she didn't care at all and was telling other people's stories.

Qian Guiren did not expect that Jiang Yuebai would take the initiative to mention it, and her scalp went numb when she heard it. She looked at Jiang Yuebai doubtfully, hesitated, and then said, "My sister has not been in the palace for a long time, so we should try not to offend Concubine Jing. She doesn't As kind-hearted as my sister, she”

Qian Guiren hesitated to speak.Rumor has it that the two concubines who fell into the water and died of illness in the dormitory were the cruel hands of Concubine Jing.And the emperor had always pampered her, turning a blind eye even if she killed someone.

Jiang Yuebai took a bite of hot tofu and asked lightly, "Has she killed a concubine? The emperor doesn't care?"

Qian Guiren lowered his eyes and remained silent as an answer.

Jiang Yuebai thought that it was indeed the case, and said with a smile, "Thank you sister for reminding me. Then why did you come here today? Taori Palace is usually inaccessible, and almost no one comes to this corner."

After all, we can only walk now.Who is willing to travel through most of the palace just to meet once and ask how you are?Either he is too idle, or he loves walking and exercising too much.

When asked about the reason for coming today, Qian Guiren was a little embarrassed, "I, I'm here to thank Sister Chun for helping me write my thoughts last time. And, also, I want to chat with Sister Chun."

Jiang Yuebai said "Oh", this excuse seemed reasonable, "Then when will it be my sister's turn to go to bed?"

This time he asked about Qian Guiren's pain points.

Tears welled up in her eyes and she said sadly, "It was supposed to be today, but it was postponed to tomorrow because of Xie Guiren."

Jiang Yuebai is very sensitive to the words "Thank you, noble man".Not only was she promoted in the same batch this morning, but Xie Guiren was Concubine Jing’s person.

"Thank you, Sir, for staying with me for two days in a row." Jiang Jinxiu muttered, feeling a little uncomfortable. He put down the chopsticks in his hands and found it hard to swallow.

The emperor is so partial.

Qian Guiren sighed in disgust: "I heard that Concubine Jing slept with her for seven days in a row."

Jiang Jinxiu's expression immediately changed, as if she couldn't accept it, and she suddenly looked at her sister.

Jiang Yuebai just said lightly: "No wonder everyone says that Concubine Jing is unparalleled in her favor."

I was thinking in my heart, I just went to bed in the afternoon, went back and forth so many times, my body couldn't bear it, yet I still couldn't satisfy the emperor, and I had to summon other people at night?
This means that the work was not done well and the leader was dissatisfied and asked another colleague to take over.

After Qian Guiren finished speaking, he looked gloomy. The pork belly that he thought was delicious before now no longer tasted good in his mouth.

Jiang Yuebai continued to cook the mutton slowly, wondering in her heart, did Qian Guiren know that he had returned to Taorui Palace, and came here specially to tell him that he was thanking Guiren for sleeping with him tonight, and for the favor that Concubine Jing had received before?Or did he bump into himself by accident?

If it's the former, what is she trying to do?
Jiang Yuebai decided to go straight to the point, "Qian Guiren, you came here specifically to tell me this. What are your thoughts?"

Qian Guiren didn't expect Jiang Yuebai to ask such a direct question, so he was a little flustered and said, "Concubine."

She suddenly fell to her knees on the ground, her face full of tears, "I want to join your side. I am willing to be a cow or a horse, and I can do whatever the queen asks me to do."
