Fuling nodded in understanding.
She took the tray from the table, then the porcelain pot and cups, and filled them with hot tea.
Finish this series.
Fuling picked up the tray and walked to Dongfang Xunyi.
She knelt down, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, please have some ginger tea."
"Um."
Dongfang Xunyi reached out and picked up a teacup from the tray.
His robe was soaked and water kept dripping down as he ran, leaving a circle of water on the ground under his feet.
"A-choo——" Dongfang Xunyi just took a sip of ginger tea and couldn't help sneezing again.
"Your Majesty, you have caught a cold."
Xiao Luzi said.
"Yuzhu, take them to the west wing. The hot water for bathing is in the big pot in the kitchen. Go and get it yourselves." Li Xia said.
When it comes to her, she doesn't indulge him.
If she wanted to act like an emperor in the palace and have a large number of palace servants at his disposal, she really couldn't do it.
Since Li Xia moved into this small courtyard, in addition to Yuzhu and Fuling who served her, she also hired a cook and a maid to do odd jobs. Together with Dabao and Xiaobao, there were usually seven people living in the courtyard.
"Miss Li, you only need to tell someone to tell me the location of the kitchen. I have the strength to fetch water for the emperor."
Xiao Luzi nodded and bowed.
Even though he was very brave, he didn't dare to let his master fetch water himself.
"Yuzhu, take him there later." Li Xia said to Yuzhu.
It’s Xiao Luzi’s business if he’s willing to help his master. As long as he doesn’t make her people do the work, she won’t interfere.
Dongfang Xunyi saw that Li Xia had given all the instructions, so he had to follow Yuzhu to the west wing, looking back every few steps.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Xiao Luzi, we have arrived at the west wing."
Yuzhu led the two of them, turning left and right, and finally stopped in front of a door.
“Squeak—”
“Cough cough cough…”
Xiao Luzi walked forward, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.
The west wing is an unused room in the courtyard. Normally no one lives there. Although it is cleaned occasionally, a thin layer of dust inevitably accumulates in the room.
The wind from opening the door blew up the dust inside.
Xiao Luzi inhaled some dust into his throat, choking him and causing him to cough continuously.
"Eunuch Xiao Luzi, are you okay?" Yuzhu pulled off the handkerchief from her waist, raised her hand and twisted it in front of Xiao Luzi, fanning away the dust floating in the air.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough... I'm fine."
Xiao Luzi raised one hand and waved it, tears coming out of his eyes as he coughed.
Yuzhu explained embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry, I forgot that the west wing was only cleaned last month. I haven't been in to clean it for almost a month."
He remembered it only belatedly.
"Your Majesty, it's all because of my bad memory. Please forgive me."
Yuzhu lowered her head and said.
Dongfang Xunyi waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
Although he was soaked to the skin, it was a blessing in disguise as Xia Xia let him in.
Dongfang Xunyi was in a very good mood at the moment.
He would be happy to grant amnesty to the entire world.
"Sister Yuzhu, the young lady asked me to come and give the emperor and his family some clean clothes."
Fuling came over with two sets of washed men's clothes in her hands.
This was the last time Dongfang Xunyi fainted in the snow. He had a high fever and Li Xia asked the master and servant to come in and find the clothes he had left here when he was recuperating in the courtyard during those days.
After his fever subsided, before he regained consciousness, Li Xia notified the secret guards of Dongfang Xunyi and brought him back to the palace.
She forgot to give the clothes to Dongfang Xunyi and asked his people to take them back.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Luzi quickly reached out to take it, "Thank you so much, Miss Li, you are so thoughtful."
He began to praise.
"Your Majesty, it's very dusty inside. Please wait outside for a while. I will put away the clothes that Your Majesty will change into and clean the room. Your Majesty can come in after the room is clean."
Xiao Luzi held the robe he received from Fuling.
He raised his eyes and looked at Dongfang Xunyi and said.
Dongfang Xunyi nodded and said, "Well, go ahead."
Xiao Luzi went into the house alone.
Fuling and Yuzhu also left one after another.
Only Dongfang Xunyi was left standing outside the wing room waiting.
Xiao Luzi spent some time to roughly tidy up the room.
After cleaning the house, he went straight to the small kitchen that Yuzhu had pointed out to him on the way.
Since he followed the emperor, he has been responsible for taking care of the emperor's food, clothing and daily life.
He hasn't done such rough work for many years.
Xiao Luzi did it himself today and he realized firsthand how difficult life is for the lowest-level palace servants in the palace.
"Your Majesty, the water is ready. Your Majesty can go take a bath now."
After fetching water, Xiao Luzi was exhausted and out of breath. It took him a long time to recover.
"Okay." Dongfang Xunyi replied.
He looked at the room after Xiao Luzi cleaned it and it looked brand new.
It is indeed uncomfortable to feel sticky all over.
Dongfang Xunyi stepped into the room.
Behind a simple and elegant screen, wisps of white smoke floated up on the internet.
The frame of the screen was fogged up by moisture.
When he was away from home, Dongfang Xunyi was not particularly satisfied with the layout of the room, but he was not too disgusted with it either.
Just taking a bath.
It doesn't take too long.
After a while.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Dongfang Xunyi walked out from behind the screen, feeling refreshed.
"Xiao Luzi, go clean up and change into clean clothes."
