Chapter 258: Well adapted
[What's there to be jealous of? Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The closer you are to the emperor, the more dangerous it is. It's better to be a servant in the tea room.]
Chu Liuzheng patted her head and said to the two of them, "Your Majesty has eaten a bit too much at dinner. I remember we have some fried glutinous rice. Let's make a cup of glutinous rice and persimmon cake frost tea. It will help with digestion."
"How come your head is filled with so many weird things?" Moxiang reached out and poked Chu Liuzheng's forehead. "I've never even heard of this tea. Is it really drinkable?"
"Of course." Chu Liuzheng winked playfully, "Sister, don't you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it." Moxiang smiled. "There is polished japonica rice, but you asked the imperial kitchen to fry it. It has been sitting in a jar and has been useless. But where can I find this persimmon cake cream?"
"The pharmacy has some," Chu Liuzheng said. "Just go to the pharmacy and get some."
Moxiang stood up and said, "I'll send someone to the pharmacy to get some persimmon cream."
Chen Xing looked at Chu Liuzheng curiously: "Sister, how do I make this tea?"
"It's simple." Chu Liuzheng teased her deliberately, "Call me sister sweeter, I'll teach you."
"Sister." Chen Xing's lips curved up, revealing two sweet dimples. She hugged Chu Liuzheng and called out repeatedly, "Sister, sister, sister, my dear sister, please teach me quickly."
This voice was truly sweeter than honey. Chu Liuzheng felt a toothache when he heard it. He rubbed her soft face with both hands and said, "Alright, alright, listen carefully."
"Put water in a small pot, add glutinous rice and bring to a boil. Pour the water into a tea bowl and add half the amount of dried persimmon frosting as the rice. Mix until the water is clear."
"It's simple indeed." Chen Xing wrote it down and went to cook the rice in a hurry.
Chu Liuzheng smiled and gave her a few instructions before returning to the main hall.
In the main hall, the lights were bright, and the emperor was busy reviewing memorials.
Chu Liuzheng stopped beside Zhou Yuande and asked softly, "Eunuch Zhou, will I return to Yiran Garden later?"
Zhou Yuande had actually overlooked this. He glanced at the emperor and said to Chu Liuzheng, "Miss, please return to Yiran Garden tonight. We will make arrangements after consulting His Majesty."
Chu Liuzheng nodded, "Thank you, eunuch."
Seeing that there was very little ink left on the inkstone, she rolled up her sleeves and went to grind the ink.
Adapt well to the job transfer.
After a while, Moxiang brought in the tea. As soon as the lid was opened, a faint rice aroma could be smelled.
Xiao Jingfan had never tasted this tea before. Looking at the golden rice at the bottom of the tea bowl, he subconsciously looked at Chu Liuzheng, and his intuition was that it was another trick of Chu Liuzheng.
Chu Liuzheng said, "This is a kind of medicinal tea I've read about in a book. It stimulates the appetite, strengthens the spleen, and helps digest food. It doesn't hurt the stomach, and drinking it at night can also refresh you."
There are still so many memorials on the table that he hasn't reviewed yet. Given the tyrant's temper, he will definitely have to finish them before he can rest. This medicinal tea is just the right amount of refreshing. Even if the tyrant wants to sleep later, he won't be unable to fall asleep because of drinking too much tea.
She is a truly competent assistant.
Well worth the raise.
Xiao Jingfan's eyes moved slightly, he took two sips of tea, and continued to review memorials.
Before I knew it, it was midnight.
Chu Liuzheng leaned against the pillar and flipped through the system.
She had already written the anonymous letter and had to find a suitable time to deliver it to the Jinyiwei's duty room.
[The Jinyiwei's shift changes... If the system is constantly monitoring them, they can only sneak in around 3:30 a.m.]
She looked at the emperor behind the desk. Naturally, the sooner the poisonous insect problem was resolved, the better. But looking at the emperor's attitude, it seemed that he would have to stay up all night again.
The Jinyiwei's duty station is not far from Wenhua Hall. I'll pretend to have a stomachache and sneak out. I'll be back after delivering the anonymous letter.
Xiao Jingfan glanced out the window and asked, "What time is it?"
Zhou Yuande said: "Your Majesty, it is already midnight." You should rest quickly.
Xiao Jingfan nodded and waved to Chu Liuzheng who was standing next to the pillar, asking her to come to the Yangxin Palace to serve him tomorrow morning.
[So being a Master Attendant means I don't have to stay up late with the Emperor? ]
Chu Liuzheng was overjoyed and immediately bowed and took his leave.
Almost at the same time as she walked out of Wenhua Hall, Xiao Jingfan called out to the empty space, "Eleven."
A dark shadow flashed.
Xiao Jingfan stretched out two slender fingers and tapped the table, "Go do it."
Zhou Yuande: ? ?
What to do?
He didn't understand, but Xiao Shiyi did. In a moment of distraction, the black shadow in the hall disappeared.
At the same time, Chu Liuzheng avoided people all the way and sneaked towards the Jinyiwei's duty room.
She kept an eye on the system, using it as a surveillance device again.
It was just past three quarters past midnight when Chu Liuzheng arrived near the duty room. He perked up and was just about to wait for the Jinyiwei to change shifts so that he could slip in. However, he did not expect a commotion to break out in the duty room. A group of Jinyiwei chased a dark shadow away.
[Frog fun, why are all the Jinyiwei chasing the secret guard brother? ]
Chu Liuzheng glanced at the message refreshed by the system, but didn't bother to look at it carefully. She knew that this opportunity was rare and would never come again. She quickly ran into the duty room, put the anonymous letter in a conspicuous place, picked up two stones to press it down, and ran out quickly.
I ran all the way to Wenhua Hall before I dared to stop.
She covered her pounding heart, bent over and gasped for breath, beads of sweat slid down her cheeks and stuck to some of her hair.
[Hey, I haven't run this fast in a long time. It's exciting!]
Chu Liuzheng adjusted his breathing, raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his face, and slowly walked towards Yiran Garden.
After she left, Chen Xing poked his little head out from behind a pillar not far away, his big eyes blinking with curiosity.
She was bored in the tea room and came out for a stroll. Unexpectedly, she ran into Chu Liuzheng nearby, who should have returned to Yiran Garden long ago.
She glanced in the direction Chu Liuzheng was running towards and smiled.
Hehehe, go and take a look.
At the same time, Chu Liuzheng walked while clicking on the gossip about the Jinyiwei chasing the secret guards.
[Hmm… Eleventh Brother actually tried to tease the Jinyiwei while on a mission. Are you a cat? By the way, does your leader know about your mischievousness?]
Chu Liuzheng closed this post and kept scrolling through the latest gossip until he saw one.
An anonymous letter with horrifying contents was found in the Jinyiwei's duty room. The Jinyiwei are now tracking down the person who wrote it.
Hey! It's done!
Chu Liuzheng whistled inwardly with joy. She had deliberately written the letter with her left hand, and although it was difficult to read, she believed in the Jinyiwei's ability.
Now that everything is done, you can go back and have a good sleep!
*
At the hour of Yin the next day, it was still dark, but Chu Liuzheng had already struggled to get out of bed.
[Ah!!! Why does the emperor have to go to court at the hour of Mao?]
She stepped into her soft shoes, closed her eyes, and instinctively groped her way to the wooden rack, then washed her face with last night's cold water.
She shivered from the cold and finally opened her eyes.
After rinsing her mouth with green salt, she wandered to the dressing table to comb her hair.
Moxiang sat up when she heard the noise and yawned: "What time is it?"
"It's the Yin hour, I can still sleep for an hour." Chu Liuzheng found a tinder and lit the candlestick next to the mirror, then quickly tidied himself up in the dim candlelight.
Moxiang was on duty last night and was really sleepy at the moment. Seeing that Chu Liuzheng could handle it, she hugged the quilt and fell back to sleep.
After a while, he began to breathe deeply and fell asleep again.
Chu Liuzheng patted his face to cheer himself up, and without even having time to drink a sip of water, he hurried to the Yangxin Palace.
