Chapter 19 Warming the Wine: Do I want to enter the palace too?
After hearing what Wenjiu said, she happily rolled over twice on the bed. If allowed, she really wanted to do two somersaults.
Two more days of chance to survive, wow.
The Fourth Master, who was putting on his clothes outside, couldn't help but turn around to look when he heard the sound.
Through the dim curtain, you can still see the person lying on the bed laughing heartily.
I don’t know when it started, but the Fourth Master remembered her face particularly clearly.
The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were slightly raised, and when she expressed her grievances, there was calculation in her clear eyes, like a vixen.
When she is happy, her eyes and eyebrows are curved, like a cat that has stolen some fish.
It’s not a big deal, why are you so happy?
The Fourth Master couldn't figure it out and accidentally swallowed the mouthwash whole.
Su Peisheng and the maids beside him didn't even dare to breathe.
Oh, I don’t know what kind of ability the wine-warming girl has, she can make me so dispirited.
Su Peisheng wondered to himself, is Grandpa worried about Sister Wenjiu's illness?
Speaking of which, I finally got a caring person, but she is in poor health, which is really a troublesome thing.
"Master, the court doctor is already waiting outside. Do you think we should let him come in and see Miss Wenjiu now?"
The Fourth Master paused what he was doing, squinted his eyes and looked back at the person on the couch.
She seemed to hear some noise and nervously poked her little head out to look over here.
"Huh, can a doctor save someone who doesn't want to live?"
Throwing the towel on Su Peisheng, the Fourth Master walked away.
After the Fourth Master left, Shanzha also became busy.
"Sister, please take a look at which one to wear. We are going to the palace to see the Empress Defei today, so you must dress up nicely."
"Do I have to enter the palace too?" Wen Jiu exhaled slowly. Is being a concubine so tiring?
Shanzha nodded: "Beile Ye just left and gave instructions, saying that you should dress up well and take you to the palace to see the Virtuous Consort today."
As he spoke, Shanzha moved closer to Wenjiu and whispered, "Eunuch Su said that the Empress specifically instructed Prince to take you with her, saying that she has been thinking about you for several days."
Wen Jiu's brows were furrowed. "Have you heard anything? What is it that the Queen wants me to do?"
Shanzha was surprised: "Sister, what's wrong? You used to be so happy to see the Empress, and the Empress treated you differently, and would reward you from time to time. What is there to worry about, sister?"
Wen Jiu: "How can it be the same? I used to be a loyal servant beside the Empress.
Now, I am her son's concubine, do you think the mentality can be the same?"
Shanzha scratched his head and said, "Is there any difference? Hasn't the Queen always wanted to make her sister proud? Now her wish has come true.
Our prince and the queen accidentally became too close, and my sister happened to be the mediator.
After all, they are mother and son, and they can talk about anything."
Wen Jiu thought carefully and it seemed that Concubine De had high hopes for the original owner.
Shanzha continued confidently, "Besides, your sister's appearance is also what Her Majesty likes. Her Majesty Defei likes beautiful people the most. This is something everyone knows."
"Sister, are you going to wear the hairpin given by the Empress this time?" Shanzha took the hairpin and gave it to Wenjiu excitedly.
Wen Jiu took it and said, "Don't take this one. Just take the wooden hairpin next to it."
Shanzha was quite disgusted: "This is too plain. At the very least, we can bring a plain silver one."
Shanzha picked up a gilded peony hairpin from the tray beside her: "This one is festive and elegant."
Wen Jiu glanced at the tacky big flowers and sighed, "Forget it. I'm just a maid now, so I don't need to wear these. A wooden hairpin will be enough. This pair of light red pearl flowers is also nice. Let me wear them, it will be just as festive."
Shanzha was quite disappointed: "Sister, Lord Beile also holds you in his heart now, so what if you dress better?
As for the rules, they are for outsiders to see.
The one who is favored is the one that is dearest to the master, and the wife is also polite and courteous. Who dares to say anything wrong about you?"
“Arrogant.” Wenjiu tapped Shanzha’s forehead and said, “Shanzha, times are different now, we need to keep a low profile.
Never mess with the women in the Fourth Master's backyard.
Now, I am just a maid who climbed onto the bed and earned the master’s dislike.
If a conflict breaks out, any small incident could result in death, so we must not be careless."
The women here are all tough characters.
She is a modern person, but she has no confidence to survive more than two episodes in the hands of these professional palace fighting players.
Didn't she die three times at the beginning?
Besides, one day has passed in the three-day deadline. If she fails to complete the bed-climbing task within two days, her life will be over.
At this time, I am already busy with my own affairs and must not get into any more trouble.
"I know, don't worry, sister. Shanzha is just talking and will definitely not cause any trouble." Shanzha looked at Wenjiu's expression carefully.
Wenjiu was extremely serious: "Shanzhao, I'm not trying to scare you, this is fatal.
You have been on duty in the backyard for many years. Don’t you know how dangerous it is?
Some so-called feelings and favors are just superficial. People, seeing the essence through superficiality is the way to survive today.
You are usually outspoken, but you are not really simple-minded.
Now is a difficult time. You are the only person I can trust. You must learn to grow your stocks.
Always remember that trouble comes from the mouth.
We sisters want to live a comfortable life in the future, and we can’t let others take advantage of us and wipe us out all at once just because of a small incident.”
"Sister..." Shanzha's eyes were slightly red: "Don't worry, Shanzha knows everything. We will never let anyone catch us by the braid." Shanzha clenched his fists tightly.
Wenjiu noticed that she was worried and breathed a sigh of relief.
Hawthorn is a person who likes warm wine.
What I like is her simplicity and directness, but simplicity and directness are also fatal in this palace.
If you don't like warm wine, just keep 70% and 30% back.
Hawthorn followed her, then she wanted her to grow.
All beings in the world are equal, and no one is subordinate to anyone else.
The so-called partners are those who go through adversity together and only then can they meet at the top.
This time, the two of them were in complete agreement.
The clothes she wore were just the half-new ones she had made when she was a palace maid. She didn't even put on any powder on her cheeks, and she was very low-key.
After packing up, the two went out together.
The remaining eyes of Wen Jiu swept across the wintersweets by the side of the path, and suddenly, his steps stopped.
"Who took the snow from under the wintersweet tree?"
Hawthorn took a look and smiled.
"Sister, have you forgotten? Didn't you make plum blossom tea for the Fourth Master yesterday? It was under this plum tree that you obtained the rootless snow."
"Say it again..."
Wenjiu swallowed his saliva.
If she remembered correctly, the medicine she found on the original owner was the one she had dissolved with water...
It seems like it is sprinkled under this plum tree!
