Chapter 90 Please be careful
"No." Yuzhui picked at the noodles in the bowl. "You all know what kind of personality Eunuch Zhou has. How could I say such things in front of him?"
Moxiang looked over and said, "If you don't agree, she won't pester you?"
"She certainly wanted to." Yu Zhui snorted. "I can see she's not someone who doesn't worry about you. She didn't ask me for help earlier or later, but now she comes to me as soon as you two are away. Didn't you hear what she said? Do you think I don't know what she's thinking?"
People always have different levels of closeness and distance. Compared to Dong Wu, she naturally prefers Moxiang and Chu Liuzheng.
"I'm glad you have a plan in mind." Moxiang was quite relieved. "You are the only tea-serving maid serving in the Imperial Court now. There will always be a time when you are too busy. Eunuch Zhou will definitely go to the Imperial Household Department to select a new one."
"If he asks you to go with him, just follow him and watch what Eunuch Zhou does. Don't say anything extra."
Yuzhui nodded: "Okay, I'll remember that."
She fed Chu Liuzheng a spoonful of noodles and said with a smile, "I haven't thanked you for the chicken soup you left for me last night. When I got home from work yesterday, my hands and feet were as cold as ice. A bowl of hot chicken soup warmed me up completely."
"You should thank Sister Moxiang. She was worried you'd be cold after your shift, so she warmed some for you on the stove." Chu Liuzheng smiled. "If you don't mind, I'll leave a bowl for you every day."
She and Moxiang, one was recuperating from injuries while the other was taking care of the wounded, so the work in the tea room fell on Yuzhui.
If someone else were to do more work for the same salary, they would have complained bitterly.
Not only did Yuzhui not complain, she also often came to see her. Chu Liuzheng could tell the good from the bad, and was naturally grateful in her heart.
Leaving chicken soup for the jade pendant is like offering a small gift to Buddha, a small compensation.
Moxiang had the same idea as Chu Liuzheng. She was thinking that after Chu Liuzheng's injury healed and he no longer needed care, she would take over Yuzhui's shift for a few days so that Yuzhui could have a good rest.
Isn't the friendship between people the result of you understanding me and I understanding you, a back and forth relationship?
Yu Zhui glared at Chu Liuzheng and said, "I'm not that ungrateful person. If you say something like that again, I won't pay any attention to you."
"I made a slip of the tongue." Chu Liuzheng lowered his eyebrows and deliberately pretended to be pitiful, squeezing his eyes exaggeratedly. "If you ignore me, I will cry in front of you."
When she acted like this, Yuzhui and Moxiang couldn't help laughing, pointing at her and shaking their heads helplessly.

After breakfast, Yuzhui went to work.
After resting for a while, Moxiang heated up the medicine and brought it to Chu Liuzheng.
Chu Liuzheng pursed his lips and had to gulp down the drink under Moxiang's gaze.
When she first entered the palace, she went hungry many times, which caused stomach problems and she was afraid to take medicine on an empty stomach.
"It's bitter." She stuck out her tongue and felt the tip of her tongue was numb.
"Good medicine tastes bitter." Moxiang poured water for her to rinse her mouth.
After a while, Doctor Li came over to change the medicine for Chu Liuzheng.
Just as the gauze was removed, Qiu Sui came with her people.
"Hello, Aunt Qiu Sui." Moxiang bowed and welcomed the person into the house.
"The Empress is concerned about the girl's injury, so she asked me to come and see her and bring her some things." Qiu Sui smiled at Chu Liuzheng and ordered someone to put all the things on the table.
"Thank you, aunt." Chu Liuzheng looked up, his gaze passing over the boxes and falling on the two pieces of silver-red cloth.
Look at the luster, it should be satin.
It is beautiful, but a little too eye-catching.
[Why did Her Majesty the Queen suddenly give me something? ]
Although Chu Liuzheng had doubts in his heart, he did not show them on his face. "Thank you very much for your concern, Your Majesty. When my injury is healed, I will go to kowtow to you and express my gratitude."
Qiu Sui smiled and said, "I will convey your thoughts to Her Majesty."
By this time, the medicine paste on Chu Liuzheng's hands had been washed off, and Qiu Sui lowered her eyes to take a look.
It looked terrible when I was injured. I guess the medicine this time is effective.
After finishing her work, she did not stay for long and said to Chu Liuzheng, "Take good care of yourself, young lady. I will go back and report."
"Take care, auntie."
Moxiang sent the people out and was about to go back to the house when another group of people came.
The leading eunuch looked unfamiliar, but judging by his attire, he must be the eunuch in charge of some palace.
Moxiang bowed and asked, "May I ask who the father-in-law is?"
"Our Zhu Jixiang is from Chengbi Hall." Zhu Jixiang raised his chin slightly, "Cai Baolin has a reward, quickly tell Chu Liuzheng to come out and receive it."
Moxiang frowned when she heard this.
A glimpse of the big picture from the small, the attitude of the master can be seen from the attitude of the servant.
Cai Baolin clearly knew that Liu Zheng was unable to move around easily, but this eunuch actually wanted Liu Zheng to come out to receive the reward, which was really intended to torture him.
I don’t know whether Cai Baolin forgot to give the order or did it on purpose.
Moxiang's mind raced for a few seconds, and just as she was about to respond, she heard Chu Liuzheng say from inside the room, "Sister Lao, come in and help me up."
The two of them were standing in the yard talking. Zhu Jixiang's voice was so loud that Chu Liuzheng, who was in the house, could hear everything.
Regardless of whether Cai Baolin instructed it or not, Cai Baolin is now the master and she is the slave. If he wants her to go out and receive the reward, then she should go out.
As soon as Moxiang heard it, she understood Chu Liuzheng's plan. She asked Zhu Jixiang to wait for a moment and went in to help Chu Liuzheng out.
Doctor Li has already changed the medicine for Chu Liuzheng.
Seeing Moxiang helping Chu Liuzheng up, he secretly shook his head in his heart, but he didn't say much, just warned: "Don't bump your hands, girl."
Chu Liuzheng agreed with a smile and asked Doctor Li to leave first.
Doctor Li picked up the medicine box and left.
Zhu Jixiang saw an imperial physician coming out and bowed politely while holding his whisk.
Doctor Li acted as if he didn't see anything, ignored him and walked out.
Zhu Jixiang's smile froze.
At this time, Moxiang helped Chu Liuzheng out of the door.
When Zhu Jixiang saw her, a hint of arrogance returned to his face. He looked at Chu Liuzheng critically, "Are you Chu Liuzheng?"
"That's right." Chu Liuzheng, wrapped in his coat, spoke politely, "Lao Baolin still cares about me. It's freezing cold out here. Eunuch Zhu, please come in and have a cup of hot tea."
"I don't have the time for that. I have to hurry back to report." The arrogance on Zhu Jixiang's face did not dissipate in the slightest because of Chu Liuzheng's amiable attitude. "You've been delayed for so long. Miss, please kneel down and accept the reward."
Kneel down?
Moxiang frowned and was about to speak for Chu Liuzheng, but saw Chu Liuzheng shaking his head at her.
Cai Baolin is no longer the palace maid Caiyue. She probably did this today to make me realize the difference in status and to stop trying to get close to her.
Chu Liuzheng sighed in his heart, it was just a fake roommate relationship after all.
Just as he was about to ask Moxiang to help her kneel down to receive the reward, he unexpectedly found that there were quite a lot of customers in Nongyun Garden today, and the third wave of people arrived.
"Oh, it's snowing so hard, what are you doing outside?" Zhou Yuande said with concern. "Go back to the house quickly, or you might catch a cold."
【What a coincidence.】
To be honest, Chu Liuzheng really doesn't have the habit of abusing himself unless it is necessary.
It's not impossible for a fox to borrow the power of a tiger to bully others.
So, she smiled at Zhou Yuande and said, "Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Zhou. I will take the reward and go in."
"Come and claim the reward?" Zhou Yuande seemed to have just noticed Zhu Jixiang and the others, and his eyes narrowed unkindly. "Is it Eunuch Zhu from Chengbi Hall?"
Zhu Jixiang quickly bowed and smiled apologetically in response.
Zhou Yuande said sarcastically, "Eunuch Zhu is so arrogant, even my family can't compare to you."
The word "you" frightened Zhu Jixiang so much that he knelt down in front of Zhou Yuande and said he didn't dare.
"Hey, how did he slip?" Zhou Yuande ordered, "Help Eunuch Zhu up quickly. If he falls and gets hurt, we will have to kneel down and apologize."
When Zhu Jixiang heard the words "kneel down and apologize", his face turned green.
Two young eunuchs forcefully lifted him up. Zhou Yuande walked forward with a smile and swept the snow off his clothes with a whisk.
"Eunuch Zhu, it's easy to fall over if your eyes are on top of your head. Please be careful."
