Chapter 101: Xiaoqing
The hot spring pool was steaming, and Xiaoqing untied her clothes and stepped into the spring water under the service of the two maidservants. With a flattering smile, the two maidservants praised Xiaoqing's tight skin and pretty face.
The wooden tray holds all kinds of melons and fruits, which bubble up with the water in the pool. A maid took a melon, carefully removed the seeds, cut it into small pieces, and served it to Xiaoqing.
"Girl, try this melon, our boss specially got it from the Yun family, it's bigger and sweeter than the others."
In this year, people don't know how to pinch seedlings, and a bunch of melons are hung on a melon vine. If you can grow up, you will be a ghost, Yun Xiao taught the people in the family to pinch off unnecessary melons, and there were only a few melons left on the vine, which naturally grew big and sweet.
Xiaoqing ate the melon sent by the maid with a toothpick, leaned her head against the pool wall and closed her eyes comfortably.
For as long as he can remember, he has been serving others, and he has never been waited on like this. The hot spring pool was washed by itself, but it was never like today. Someone is waiting for him, accompanied by a flattering smile. I used to do this by myself, and it felt so good to be waited on.
"The girl's skin is so good, we all thought our skin was good before, compared to you, we have become sparrows, and the slave knows what it means to be outside the human world."
The maid was very good at talking, and had obviously read some books. The words are not sensible, which makes people feel comfortable listening to it. But if she really entered the palace, then she would know what it means to be outside, the hair of the ladies is washed with egg green every day, and the black and soft fan has a shiny luster, which is called a smooth. Looking at it makes people want to touch it.
Recently, the Yun family presented a thing called soaphorn to Niangniang, and after washing it, there was a good smell on the body. Mother's there. I secretly used it and washed it, and my skin was really slippery and clean. It's just too little, I don't dare to use it more for fear that my mother will find out. I heard Princess Nangong's maid say that there are a lot of princesses, and the girls are useful, and I don't know where they came from. It must have been sent by the king of Jiaodong.
The hot spring water is slippery, but it's also hot. Xiaoqing soaked in it for a while, and then felt unbearable. Seeing that the palms of his hands were already soaked and white and wrinkled, Xiaoqing stood up. The maids hurriedly wiped the water droplets on Xiaoqing's body with white cloth towels and put on a set of wide bathrobes for her. Then he was led into a richly furnished room.
Xiaoqing was a little surprised, people thought that the palace was the most gorgeous. Actually, they were all wrong. His Majesty and the Queen Mother advocated frugality. Whatever you can do, you can make do with it. In fact, the palace is far less gorgeous than people think, and the residences of some low-ranking palace people can only be described as shabby.
The gorgeous Cheng dΓΉ of this room is also better than the elegant small building of the Li Concubine Niangniang, who likes luxury.
Lying gently on the ground, a middle-aged woman in her thirties stepped forward. Powerful hands kept kneading the back of Xiaoqing's shoulders.
"Girl. Is it enough? β
The woman asked Xiaoqing cautiously. This is the boss repeatedly told to wait for good guests. If you get annoyed, the boss will pick your own skin. It's not a joke, he really did it.
"Just right. I think I've been doing it for many years. β
Xiaoqing also learned a good massage, and Wang Huan's favorite thing is to let Xiaoqing massage twice. It was this hand massage that made Liu Qi pay attention to her. It hurt so much when I was lucky, but fortunately my mother smeared some essential oil there, otherwise I heard that it would hurt even more.
"I started learning at the age of six, and after a few years, it will be thirty years."
The woman is very talkative, but she seems to be very scruple about Xiaoqing. didn't dare to speak much, but answered Xiaoqing's question decently.
was six years old, and he was also six years old when he entered the palace. It's really fast, it's been more than ten years, and I don't know what happened to my parents.
The woman pressed it very comfortably, and there was no intrigue environment, which made people feel very relaxed physically and mentally, and before she knew it, Xiaoqing fell asleep deeply.
"Mr. Gongsun, this little young girl, you can be sure to entertain properly. This is my sister's right and left hand, and in my sister's heart, I have a higher status than my younger brother. Even the emperor also values her, do you understand what I mean?
Today I specially begged my sister to invite her to come to you, as long as she nodded, the matter of the Yun family's steaming wine was a sure thing. β
In another room of the Tangquan Pavilion, Tian Wei was drinking with Mr. Gongsun and Han Anguo. Tian Wei's words made Han Anguo's eyes blink again and again, and the pieces of meat on his mouth fell to his legs without realizing it.
Wang Niangniang's left and right hands, will she know about that matter. I'm afraid I can't handle this matter by myself, and I have to let the prince take action.
"Lord Han, Lord Han ......"
Tian Wei called a few times before he woke up the distracted Han Anguo.
Han Anguo said with an embarrassed face: "Some trivial things came up with a god, what will Tian Lang say just now?" β
"Lord Han, you can't beat her idea. That's the emperor's person, if something happens, no one will protect you. β
Tian Wei said to Han Anguo with a serious face.
"Uh...... Where will Tian Lang go. The people in the palace don't dare to be presumptuous if they borrow my two guts. However, I heard that the Marquis of Lintong was rewarded by the Queen Mother with four palace people yesterday, so he must be enjoying boundless blessings now. β
Han Anguo spoke very skillfully, and shifted the topic to Yun Xiao in two sentences.
The three of them talked and laughed, waiting for Xiaoqing. Han Anguo grabbed a gap, walked out of the door and said to his guard: "Go and report to the prince immediately, and say that there is the whereabouts of that thing." I'm afraid that this Xiangguo won't be able to hold the scene, if it is possible, let the prince come in person. Oh yes, tell the prince that this is the people in the palace, and they must return to the palace before sunset. Go quickly, don't delay. β
"No"
The guards took the order and hurriedly walked out. Han Anguo turned around and entered the room and continued to have a banquet with Tian Wei and the others.
Xiaoqing slept soundly this time, and finally didn't sleep in the intriguing place in the palace. After waking up, it was already past noon, and I was unconsciously hungry.
"The girl is awake, if the girl is hungry, Lord Tian and our boss are having a feast. Tell me to come over, saying that when the girl is awake, she can go over to the feast. β
It was still the same middle-aged woman, holding a fan covered with silk in her hand. is fanning Xiaoqing who is sleeping.
"Got it, bring me my clothes. I'll go now, and I should go back to the palace after noon, if the palace gate is closed and I haven't gone back, then it's a big trouble. β
Xiaoqing instructed the woman.
The woman was shocked, no wonder the boss stammered like this. It turned out to be the people in the palace, and the waiters became more and more diligent.
Two young maids brought Xiaoqing's clothes. Waiting for Xiaoqing to dress, her black hair was re-tied in a bun. The beautiful girl has become a palace person again.
Xiaoqing followed the maid out of the room, just turning a corner in the hallway. Seeing two big men in black blocked in the corridor, the maid was startled because these two big men were not from the Tangquan Pavilion.
One of the big men stepped forward with a sword in his arms.
"Girl, someone wants to see her. Please also ask the girl to move and see her. β
He spoke not with a Chang'an accent, but with a foreign accent.
Xiaoqing was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "I am from the palace, you are so bold that you dare to stop me." If you don't want to live, if I call someone, you will be guilty of death. β
"Girl, call to see if anyone will come out."
The man spoke very arrogantly, as if he didn't pay attention to this small hot spring hall at all.
"It's better for the girl to go with our brother, and if she attracts people, it will only hurt people's lives."
This guy is obviously even more crazy, and the meaning is obvious, as long as anyone dares to stop him, he will kill him immediately.
Xiaoqing's face immediately turned pale with fright, and his mind was at a loss, not knowing why someone would deal with him. She is just a palace maid, although she has waited for Her Majesty. But only once, after that, His Majesty threw himself out of the clouds. There are many women like myself in the palace, and I don't know how many there are.
"Girl, please, don't delay the girl's return to the palace."
The man took another step forward and pulled away the maid who was blocking the way with one hand. It seems that if Xiaoqing doesn't follow him, he will use force.
"I'll go with you."
Xiaoqing calmed down and said a little helplessly.
A door opened, and Xiaoqing walked inside.
"Little green girl."
The man with his back to him turned around, and Xiaoqing's eyes almost popped out in shock. (To be continued......)
