Gu Yingxia had nothing to do, so she crossed her legs and hugged her arms, watching Gu Yinwei pounding medicine.
There was a pile of dried medicinal herbs in the round bowl, and Gu Yinwei held the pestle and pounded it hard.
Gu Yingxia said, "Third sister, I can do it, let me go."
"Let me make this clear first. If you're ready to help, you have to be beaten into a pill before you stop. Otherwise, go play somewhere else and don't bother me."
"Look at me, who are you looking down on?"
It's just pounding the medicinal herbs, all you need is hands.
Gu Yinwei did not refute her and was busy doing other things.
Gu Yingxia was sitting under the grape trellis pounding herbs. The vines seemed to be particularly fond of her, actively stretching out the paper strips to block the heat from the autumn heat for her.
A cup of tea passed, and Gu Yingxia was full of energy. Half an incense stick of time passed, and Gu Yingxia still persisted. After an hour, Gu Yingxia's arms were so sore that she couldn't lift them.
Why is it so difficult to pound medicine? But I have already made such a promise and I really can't bear to give up halfway.
“Where there is a will, there is a way. Never give up, never give up.”
"Master, you must be exhausted. Come and have some tea."
Ah Qing brought a bowl of eight-treasure lei cha. After drinking the tea, Gu Yingxia felt that a lot of her strength had returned.
"Master, is the tea delicious?"
Gu Yinxia nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
"Gurgle gurgle."
The water in the teapot has boiled and is rolling. The maid holds the teapot and pours water into the teacup. Princess Zhaoyang takes the teacup, takes a sip, and then smacks her lips, savoring the fragrance of the tea.
"Don't smack your lips while drinking tea."
"What do you care about me? I can drink however I want. If you don't like me, please get out of my room."
Mei Fei put her hands on her hips and said, "This is my tea room. You came here uninvited, not only did you steal my tea, but you also refused to listen to my advice."
"Advice, do you know who I am? How dare you give me advice?"
Mei Fei was at her ease, looking at Princess Zhaoyang, "So who are you?"
"I am the beloved princess of the Mobei Royal Court."
"I'm a stranger, and I came to Sanfei Academy to study."
"Hey, are you even listening to me? I said I'm a princess."
"Did I say something wrong? You're not here to study?"
"Of course I'm here to study. Hey, who are you? Why aren't you afraid of me?"
"I am a lecturer in charge of lecturing at the college."
Princess Zhaoyang put down her crossed legs and sat respectfully.
The lecturers at the Three Concubines Academy all come from prominent backgrounds, with the lowest-ranking ones being Zhaoyi. Although Princess Zhaoyang is domineering, she still has to save face for the royal family.
Mei Fei asked, "Why did you leave so suddenly?"
"Excuse me, I suddenly remembered that I still have homework to finish. Bye."
Princess Zhaoyang fled in panic, while Concubine Mei smiled faintly while holding a teacup.
The operation of Sanfei Academy is becoming more and more perfect. Many people come here to study, including many young ladies from famous aristocratic families, and many talented and virtuous women come to take the lecturer assessment.
Concubine Mei sipped her tea slowly, occasionally flipping through the self-recommendation letters on the table. She picked out a few letters with outstanding writing style and took them into the palace to show the empress dowager.
"Xiaolan, tidy up."
The palace maid Xiaolan immediately began to sort out the letters on the table. At this time, a nanny came in from outside the door. The nanny was wearing a light gray-blue coarse cloth dress. She bent over respectfully with a flattering smile on her face.
The nanny was holding a basket of freshly picked melons, which were washed clean. The nanny wanted to say something, but when she saw that Concubine Mei was busy, she hurriedly pushed it away.
Mei Fei asked, "What do you want?"
The nanny said, "My dear, please be busy now. I will come back next time."
"Next time you come, I might still be busy. Since you're here, why not just explain it all at once to save you the hassle of running back and forth?"
"My dear, my granddaughter has been admitted to our Sanfei Academy. Can she come home to live after school? Our home is close to the academy anyway."
"Mammy, you're an old veteran in the academy. You're good at gardening and planting flowers, and you handle both big and small matters properly. Why do you have no idea when it comes to your family?"
Mammy lowered her hands and listened attentively.
After Mei Fei said a few words to her, she gave up the idea of taking her granddaughter home.
Sanfei College was responsible for providing accommodation and food. Many girls drank plain water to ward off evil. They secretly hid the food distributed by the college and took it home. After returning home, the girls had no food to eat and became pale and thin.
Although Concubine Mei values the maids around her, she will never violate the academy's rules because of one person.
Mei Fei glanced at Xiaolan, then her eyes fell on the melon.
Xiaolan immediately chased back with the melon.
"Mammy, you forgot your things."
Xiaoyu chased after her and returned the fruit basket. The nanny looked a little embarrassed and left in a hurry with quick steps.
Concubine Chen walked slowly around the corner and jokingly said, "Wow, what a delicious melon! Why don't you keep some for yourself?"
"Eating people is the softest thing, and taking people is the shortest thing."
"What's the big deal about a few melons? What did Mammy ask you to do just now?"
Mei Fei gave a brief description and Chen Fei understood it immediately.
Then the two of them read the letter together, and finally went to the palace together to report to the Queen Mother.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Gu Yingxia was busy pounding medicine under the grape trellis, and the two concubines Mei and Chen came to greet her.
Gu Yinwei stood up from the desk, and the two concubines Chen Mei explained their purpose, and the three of them sat down and talked.
"Mei Fei, you seem to be in a bad mood today."
"Your Majesty, you have a keen eye. I did encounter an injustice before I came here."
Concubine Chen also began to sigh: "The more people I meet after arriving at the academy, the more tormented I feel."
