Chapter 7 I Want to Eat Pork Knuckle
The three palace maids, Xia, Qiu and Dong, lowered their heads and dared not breathe.
They thought that An Jiu was crazy and was looking for death.
They shrank their necks, waiting for the emperor to get angry and kill An Jiu, they just hoped that An Jiu would not implicate them.
An Jiu felt much more at ease.
Because she heard the emperor's voice.
[I’m hungry…]
very good.
An Jiu stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to have a meal?"
This job is usually done by Eunuch Li.
No one else dared to ask, not even Eunuch Li.
But Anjiu asked.
The two palace maids Qiu Dong took a deep breath and lowered their heads even more...
"use……"
The emperor didn't say what he wanted to eat.
But he thought about it.
He wants to eat roast chicken and pork knuckle.
For a moment, An Jiu thought he had heard wrongly. Why did the emperor like to eat such greasy food...
But she didn't dare to say it and went to find Eunuch Li.
When Eunuch Li heard that the emperor had woken up, he prepared food without An Jiu's instructions. When An Jiu saw the dishes, he couldn't help but frown.
Congee and side dishes...
However, An Jiu did not dare to say anything. After all, Eunuch Li was a popular figure around the emperor. Was it necessary for her, a palace maid, to guess the emperor's intentions?
Eunuch Li turned around and glanced at the four people standing there. He wanted to point at An Jiu, but maybe he thought she was still useful, so he pointed at Xiao Xia who was beside An Jiu and said, "You, come here."
Today, Xiao Xia became a poison tester.
She walked over tremblingly, picked up the chopsticks tremblingly, and picked up the food tremblingly...
After waiting for about a cup of tea and seeing that she was fine, the emperor began to eat.
However, he put down his chopsticks after eating two bites.
Because there was no pork elbow or roast chicken that he wanted to eat... uh, this time there was also a braised fish.
They are all greasy and heavy dishes...
"Retreat." The emperor sighed.
An Jiu heard him swallowing his saliva, and heard him wanting to eat...
But he just didn't say anything. He sat in front of the desk in silence and read the memorials.
Eunuch Li sighed and muttered to Aunt Qu as he left the room, "Your Majesty's appetite has been getting worse and worse. He didn't even touch the dishes that were served."
An Jiu "?"
what?
How can I have an appetite if I eat grass every day?
My two close friends, have you ever thought that the food is just too bad?
What about this emperor? He is the emperor. Can't he tell me what he wants to eat? People can be killed at will, but rice cannot be eaten at will?
Even though he complained in his heart, An Jiu didn't show any sign of being wrong on his face.
Having watched countless palace fighting dramas, she still understands that one should keep a low profile in the palace, listen more and talk less...
However, some people are quite good at speaking.
【Hungry……】
【bother……】
An Jiu "..."
For a moment she thought that the emperor's annoyance was caused by hunger.
Finally, it was time to get off work. An Jiu dragged her tired body to get her employee meal, found a corner, ate the tasteless meal, went back to her room and fell asleep...
During this time, she heard the door open and the three palace maids Xia, Dong and Qiu came back, whispering to each other.
An Jiu turned over, and she dreamed that she dressed up carefully and ran to the emperor to flirt with him, and then was stabbed by the emperor...
"ah……"
An Jiu woke up from his dream.
"What are you yelling about?" Xiao Xia glared at her unhappily.
An Jiu looked around and saw that it was almost dawn.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, got up and washed up without sleeping.
She is still on duty today. After all, Guanghua Palace is in short supply of palace maids and new ones cannot fill the vacancies.
The emperor also got up very early. He frowned and looked impatient. The maid who was combing his hair might have been nervous and pulled a hair of the emperor. The maid knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy...
But the emperor looked at her and strode away.
An Jiu watched and guessed in his heart, as expected... this emperor was different from the emperor when he was killing people.
What disease is this?
After the emperor left, the palace maid who was combing her hair breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
During the time when the emperor was in the morning court, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong were responsible for cleaning the palace. They were all silent and worked quickly. Then An Jiu discovered that she was isolated by the other three.
Just because she poured water for the emperor yesterday, in their opinion, it was an act of flattery and also an act of seeking death.
Trying to please the emperor shows that An Jiu is restless.
Are you seeking death?... They want to stay away from Anjiu, so that if Anjiu dies, she can die far away, so that her blood will not splash on their freshly washed clothes.
After the room was cleaned, she left the hall. Outside, the eunuchs were cleaning. They bent their waists and worked skillfully. Soon, they cleaned the yard as well.
At this time, the emperor came back.
