Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 390
On this day, Wanxian was sitting on the warm bed talking to a group of servants.

Wanxian was sitting on the warm Kang, while Nurse Gu, Qiaoguo, Yunxia and Wei Zhu were all sitting on small stools, peeling fresh lotus pods that had just been delivered from the lotus pond in Changchun Garden.

Wanxian nestled against the kang table. On the kang table was a plate of freshly peeled snow-white lotus seeds, as well as many melon and fruit snacks.

Wanxian twisted the lotus seed with her delicate hands and put it into her mouth, and said, "I will take this freshly peeled lotus seed to the small kitchen and make a bowl of lotus seed soup."

"Your Majesty, you want to give it to Lord Long Live, right? Your Majesty still feels sorry for Lord Long Live." Wei Zhu flattered Wanxian while peeling the lotus seeds.

Wanxian did not answer Wei Zhu, but just looked at the vase on the window sill next to the heated kang. There were lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the vase.Wanxian said with a smile: "Last year was also the season when lotus flowers were in full bloom. I was playfully picking lotus flowers in the lotus pond in the Royal Garden, and happened to meet Lord Long Live."

"This is not the fate between the Long Live Lord and your empress. This is called a thousand-mile marriage tied by a thread." Wei Zhu continued to flatter.

Wanxian smiled and ordered: "Okay, I've peeled enough lotus seeds. You don't need to peel them anymore. Let's rest with some fruits." Wanxian said and picked up a plate on the kang table. The cut watermelon and cantaloupe were handed to Qiaoguo.

Qiaoguo quickly stood up, holding the fruit plate, and asked Nurse Gu to take a piece first, then handed it to Wei Zhu and Yunxia, ​​and finally it was her turn.

The melons and fruits in early summer are so rare that even the ordinary masters in the palace cannot use them.However, Wanxian freely rewards the servants, which shows Wanxian's favor.

Naturally, a few people were grateful and used it carefully. It was the utmost honor for the master to reward melons and fruits.When they finished using the melons and fruits, several people quickly wiped them with handkerchiefs.

Wei Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, that servant will take the lotus seeds to the small kitchen to arrange the soup." "

Before Wanxian could nod, Zhao Sanxi's voice rang out from outside, saying: "Slave Zhao Sanxi, please give my regards to the queen."

"Empress, this is Zhao Sanxi." Wei Zhu reported back.

Wanxian nodded and ordered: "Come in quickly." Everyone who was sitting stood up and waited on both sides.

Immediately, Zhao Sanxi walked in carefully.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Zhao Sanxi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.The weather is starting to get hotter in early summer.And there are enough ice cubes in the ice mirror in the dormitory, so it is naturally very cool.Zhao Sanxi wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward to salute Wanxian and said, "Slave Zhao Sanxi wishes to express my condolences to you, may you be safe."

"Get up. It's too hot outside. You can cool off with a piece of watermelon first." Wanxian said, and asked Qiaoguo to hand the fruit plate to Zhao Sanxi.

Zhao Sanxi didn't dare, but it was hot outside and his mouth was a little thirsty.This ice-cold melon and fruit just taken out of the iceberg can soothe the body that is hot due to the hot weather.

Wanxian then ordered: "Bring a stool to Zhao Sanxi. Let him sit and eat."

When Wei Zhu heard this, he immediately moved a spring stool from the side and placed it behind Zhao Sanxi.At present, the relationship between Wei Zhu, Liang Jiugong and Zhao Sanxi, the master and apprentice, is in the honeymoon period, and the cooperation between the two parties is very cooperative.

Zhao Sanxi saw that she couldn't resist, so she hurriedly thanked Wanxian and said, "Then I would like to thank you for your gift." After Zhao Sanxi said this, he carefully sat on the edge of the spring stool, carefully picked up the watermelon and used it.

Wanxian then ordered to the people on both sides: "You all should sit down. Is there nothing else?"

Everyone around him also sat down after hearing this.

When Zhao Sanxijin finished all the melons and fruits in his hand, he stood up and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have come here now because I have something to report to you."

"What's the matter?" Wanxian lowered her head and touched the pink bead tourmaline bracelet on her wrist. As soon as she heard Zhao Sanxi's words, she immediately raised her head and looked at Zhao Sanxi.

Zhao Sanxi said vaguely: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is said that Yiren comes in every now and then with signs, saying that he wants to enter the garden to kowtow to your Majesty."

"So that's what happened." Wanxian then remembered her cousin Gualjia Miaoxian who plotted against her.

In fact, with Kangxi's comfort, Wanxian's anger at Miaoxian's actions was almost gone.As Kangxi said, everyone in the world is bustling for profit.And cousin Miao Xian is just using her own prestige to show off her power.In fact, as long as he doesn't go too far, he should forgive Sister Miaoxian. After all, Sister Miaoxian saved his life back then.Wanxian lowered her head and thought carefully.

Nanny Gu couldn't help but stepped forward to remind her, "Mother?"

After being shouted out by Nanny Gu, Wanxian finally came to her senses, sighed and said: "Forget it, forget it." Wanxian raised her hand to fumble in her hair.

Wanxian first touched a coral-embedded jasper hairpin and was about to pull it off. However, after hesitating for a moment, she pulled out a plum-blossom-bamboo jasper hairpin from another place and handed it to Nurse Gu.Nanny Gu quickly took the hairpin and asked, "Mother, what are you doing?"

"Nanny, go to the warehouse and select some good jewelry, cloth, etc. Later, send it to your cousin along with this hairpin." Wanxian ordered.

Nanny Gu quickly agreed, first carefully placed a plum blossom, bamboo and jasper hairpin on the Kang table, and then went to the warehouse to select gifts.

Wanxian looked at Zhao Sanxi and said: "Zhao Sanxi, I would like to trouble you to leave the palace. Give the things you have prepared to your cousin."

"This is what a slave should do. Please don't worry, Madam." Zhao Sanxi quickly agreed.

Wanxian nodded and said: "I'll go and report to Lord Long Live first." Wanxian said and got off the hot bed, trying to lift her legs and walk out.

Zhao Sanxi quickly stopped him and said, "I'd like to express my gratitude to you, your Majesty. When the servant arrived just now, I gave you the order. He said that everything will be done according to your wishes."

Wanxian breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the warm bed again. She ordered to Zhao Sanxi: "Zhao Sanxi, when you go to Xitala Mansion, give a good shock to those who want to humiliate my cousin. Just say that I have been doing this recently. I feel unwell, and the imperial doctor ordered me to rest. Therefore, I will not invite my cousin into the garden to pay her respects."

"Hey, please don't worry, Madam. I will handle this matter properly." Zhao Sanxi said with assurance.

"When you see your cousin, give her this plum blossom, bamboo and jasper hairpin. I will remember all the things she helped me with in the past. It's just..." Wanxian paused and said, "It's just Don't be so careful next time. Let her teach Dachun and Lingling carefully, and teach the children to have integrity like plum blossoms and bamboos."

"Hey, I'll keep this in mind. Please don't worry, I'll convey it to Yiren word for word." Zhao Sanxi replied.

Wanxian sighed and said helplessly: "Tell my cousin that my anger has not subsided. When I subside, I will call her and the children in to meet." Wanxian's heart finally softened.

"Hey, I'll keep this in mind," Zhao Sanxi nodded.

Just in time, Nanny Gu walked in with a group of eunuchs and maids holding jewelry and cloth in their hands.

Nanny Gu walked up to Wanxian and said, "Mother, do you think these are suitable?"

"Everything is fine. Zhao Sanxi, take these and go." Wanxian waved to Zhao Sanxi and said.

Zhao Sanxi accepted the order and quickly led the people to retreat and exited the palace.

After Zhao Sanxi left, Wanxian leaned against the Kang table and said to Wei Zhu, "Eunuch Wei."

"My Majesty, how can this servant be worthy of being called your father-in-law? Madam, this servant is your eunuch in charge. You just need to call me by his first name." Wei Zhu now dared to ask Wanxian to call herself Eunuch Wei, and hurriedly He declined.

Wanxian had no intention of being polite to Wei Zhu now, so she said unceremoniously: "That's all, then I won't be polite either. Wei Zhu."

"Your Majesty, I'm here, please give me your orders." Wei Zhu half-bent and replied respectfully.

"Go to Galudai's place and tell her that I will invite her to ride a horse tomorrow. By the way, go to Ningchun Hall to greet the Queen Mother first. Ask the Queen Mother if she is interested in riding a horse tomorrow? Wait until you meet the Queen Mother, and then go Please ask Ludai." Wanxian said in a bored tone.

"Come on, I'll go ahead now. I'll leave." After Wei Zhu beat Qian'er, he also left the palace.

Seeing that Wanxian was a little tired, Yunxia quickly sat on the pedal and beat Wanxian's legs.

Qiaoguo quickly put aside several spring stools placed on the ground.

Nanny Gu stepped forward and picked up the celadon plate with lotus seeds, and reported back: "Your Majesty, I will send these lotus seeds to the small kitchen and let them stew a bowl of lotus seed soup. After they are chilled, they will be served to the Long Live Lord and the Queen. you."

"Okay, wet nurse, you can go ahead." Wanxian agreed.

……

Kangxi was sitting on the dragon chair, reviewing the memorial, and told Zhao Sanxi, who was kneeling below him: "Do everything according to the wishes of the empress."
