The moment of passing through the fragrance

Chapter 26

In the main hall of the Qingxi Palace, Xi was sitting right above, taking the account book in his hand and flipping through it leisurely. A cup of tea was curling up on the low ebony table beside him, and Li Jiashi was sitting on the lower right. With a humble expression, he didn't dare to speak out, but listened attentively to what Xi Ze asked Chen Kang, the director of the incident office.

"This year's Bing Jing is [-]% more than in previous years." Xi Ze finished the last item, handed the account book to the side, and Chunhua immediately stepped forward to hold it, and then stepped back to stand aside.

Chen Kang lowered his head, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "This is because the adults outside know that the prince is married, and they are filial to the master."

Xi understood, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Eunuch Chen, for working hard."

Chen Kang hurriedly bowed and said, "It's all a slave's job, and I dare not take credit for it."

Xi Ze picked up the teacup, took a sip, and talked about other things: "The birthdays of Empress Concubine De and Empress Rong are just a few days away, just add [-]% to each according to the previous years."

Chen Kang slapped a thousand: "Hey."

After finishing all the affairs in her palace, Xi Xi put down the teacup. The light pink hibiscus jade porcelain fired by the imperial kiln was clear and clear, and when it touched the ebony table, it made a pleasant ding-dong sound. She turned her head to look To Li Jiashi, Li Jiashi hurriedly straightened her body.

"Sit down again and it's time for lunch. Just tell me why you came today." If it was normal, Xi would not mind playing tricks and playing Tai Chi with her—this Li Jiashi every now and then Flying in front of her for a few days, she is delicate and weak, but has a strong sense of presence. Xi Ze believes that she comes from a noble family and has a superior status. No matter what Li Jiashi's ideas are, she can Cope with it—however, for some reason, I was very tired today, and after sitting for a while, I felt that my waist was so sore.

Li Jia's description is more respectful, with a virtuous face: "I sat here for noon this morning. Seeing that the princess is so tired, this servant is really uneasy. You are virtuous and considerate, but this servant has to know what is good and what is bad. Share your worries."

No matter how humble and mean she was, it was really disrespectful to say that.

There was no change on Xi Ze's face, as if she felt that what she said made sense, after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "What do you think?"

Li Jiashi is timid, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she has a beautiful appearance. This timidity shows a little bit of beauty, and she replied softly: "The slave is dull, and he only wants to do his best for the crown prince." Thin."

This is just a humble word, but Xi Ze smiled lightly when he didn't want to, and said: "Since you are dull, you can rest easy and just stick to your duty." Ren can also be regarded as Yinreng's legal partner, maintaining a calm but graceful face.

Li Jia obviously didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so rude, her pretty face turned red and white alternately, she resisted to get up, and gave a respectful blessing: "Yes."

Xi Zefu smiled kindly again: "It's my job to take care of the general affairs of the Eastern Palace. It's really not hard work. Besides, as long as the prince is with me, I will never miss you."

The deep meaning in the words can be understood by inadvertent careful reading, Li Jiashi said yes with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, full of bitterness.

As soon as she left the Qingxi Palace, Yun'er whispered with worry and fear: "What happened to Fujin today?" Which concubine would ask to intervene in general affairs?Even if it was the emperor's family, which was more noble than ordinary families, it was not her turn to speak up.Although Fujin is timid, he has always been measured, why today...

Yun'er has served Li Jiashi since she was a child, and she dared to ask her aloud because of her affection for her master.

Li Jiashi sighed quietly, her supple eyebrows and eyes instantly became firm, and said in a deep voice: "I thought this princess was born soft and pleasing to the eye, and her temperament should also be soft and gentle, but I didn't expect to be so tough."

Yun'er was terrified, and stammered: "You, you are, want to..."

Li Jiashi's resolute expression eased, and immediately it was that delicate Shu Fujin again, she looked around, and asked Yun'er softly: "Do the math, how many days has the Crown Prince not stayed in the Qingxi Palace?"

Yun'er didn't know where the crown prince lived, Xie Fangxuan seldom paid attention to it, she counted with her fingers, and said: "It's been seventeen or eight days." After saying that, Yun'er was quite surprised: "Prince After Grandpa got married, everyone in the palace rested in the Qingxi Hall, why didn't they go these days?"

"There are two reasons," Li Jiashi said in a condensed voice: "The first is that the princess concubine offended the Lord and was rejected by the Lord. Today I watched with cold eyes. She behaved calmly. It seems to be anxious; secondly," Li Jiashi smiled strangely, "always facing a person, no matter how beautiful he is, there will always be a day when he will get bored."

Yun'er listened to her master's well-founded analysis and nodded repeatedly, Li Jiashi turned to look at her and said, "Yun'er, look, no matter why the crown prince is going to the Qingxi Palace or not, my time has come."

Yun'er heard what she meant, she was taken aback, but seemed relieved, she said: "Are you going to meet the crown prince here?"

"Time does not wait for me. Right now, there are only the Crown Princess and me in the Eastern Palace. The Crown Princess is not afraid. Even without the Lord's favor, she is still the emperor's appointed daughter-in-law. In the future, she will be a justifiable empress in the palace, and she will have a noble family to rely on." Hold—I am different," Li Jiashi said, revealing a deep sense of loneliness and bewilderment, "If you don't hurry up now, when newcomers come in one after another, there will be no place for me in this East Palace. It's over. At that time, I will really lose all the feelings of suddenly dreaming about my youth in the middle of the night, and dreaming of crying, makeup and tears."

Yun'er couldn't help but burst into tears, looking at Li Jiashi's distressed face, she slowly corrected her expression, and said sincerely: "No matter how difficult the future is, Yun'er will always be by Miss's side!"

Li Jiashi smiled and said very sincerely: "You are the only one I can trust."

As soon as Li Jiashi left, Huayin and Chunhua were full of anger, while Xi glanced at them and smiled quietly.In the end, Hua Yin couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "Shu Fu Jin is so frivolous, why don't you punish her, Crown Princess?"

"What did she do wrong? How should I punish her?" Xi Ze looked at her and asked.

Hua Yin was even angrier: "Her, what is her identity? Dare..."

Xi Ze didn't care, and said leisurely: "What kind of idea did she have? When she knows it, she will be on the defensive. What do you say?" From the mistress to the little maid beside her, she is the most aware of such things.But what if it is clear?Even if she could really deal with this Li Jiashi, she couldn't do it.

It's all about survival.

Huayin and Chunhua both lowered their eyebrows and said yes.

Xi gently moved his more and more lazy waist. After lunch, he went to the kitchen to look at the black chicken soup with Beiqi Codonopsis ginseng that had been simmering all night. He ordered the cook to watch the fire carefully, and then went back to his room to rest.

This rest lasted until the end of the hour, when Dun Bendian came to report that the crown prince had returned to the palace.Xi rubbed her drowsy eyes, opened her hands to let Huayin fiddle with her clothes, and didn't wake up until she cleaned her face with a veil.

"It's getting hot, and the princess is getting more and more sleepy." Hua Yin inserted a red gold ruby ​​hairpin into Xi Ze's hair.

make up.

Xi Ze supported her hand and stood up, quite helplessly said: "Spring is sleepy and summer is exhausted, I really want to just sleep like this until tomorrow morning, and none of you will call me."

Hua Yin covered her mouth and smiled: "The Crown Princess loved to sleep in when she was in her boudoir, and she still does so now."

"I didn't know until I entered the palace, Ama Erniang would be tolerant of me."

"If the old lady hears what the princess said, she must be happy that you have grown up and understood."

"If you don't sleep late, you will know something?" Xi Ze said slowly.

The two master and servant grind their teeth as they walk, and after a while, they stand outside Jide Hall.When Xiao Yuanzi, who was waiting in front of the door, saw her, he rushed forward to greet her, and said, "Good luck, Crown Princess!"

"Get up. Is the prince in there?" Xi Ze asked.

Xiao Yuanzi stood up, with a cautious smile on his face, and respectfully said: "Yes, the master just came back." He led Xi Ze in as he spoke, and retreated in front of the door of the inner study.

Seeing Xi Ze coming, Yinreng dropped the memorial in his hand, stepped forward and sat down facing her, saying, "Why are you here?"

Xi put the food box in her hand aside, looked at him and said, "There are some things I can't decide, I want to tell you." She took out the chicken soup in the food box as she spoke, lifted the lid, and it was full of water. room fragrance.

Yinfeng took the spoon with a smile and said, "Say it."

There was a touch of fatigue in his handsome brows and eyes. Kangxi was sick and had been lingering on the sick bed. Yinfeng had to pay attention to the court and wait on the bed. For seven or eight days in a row, he didn't have a good night's sleep.Xi Ze couldn't bear it, and didn't want to bother him anymore, so he changed his mouth and said, "Is Huang Ama feeling better?"

"It's much better. The imperial doctor said that it will be fine after a few more days." Yinreng scooped up a spoonful, smelled the aroma lightly in front of his nose, and then drank it. It was fat but not greasy. , didn't feel bitter, he couldn't help taking another sip, and then said: "You said just now that there is something that cannot be decided?"

When Xi Ze saw him asking, he had no choice but to truthfully say: "Businessmen in Beijing passed in name cards through the business office, and wanted to use the name of the crown prince."

"Oh," Yinfeng seems to be very familiar with such things. It is not easy to live in the capital. Doing business in the capital requires someone to support them. Those businesses often find high-ranking officials to buy shares. The business can be smoother, and the dividends they give are naturally very considerable. Donggong has a huge expenditure, and the salary alone is not enough. This is also one of the sources of money. It's just that I have been busy before and after, and I have never had time to tell Xi. I don't know, "Let Chen Kang check the details of these people. If they are clean, it doesn't matter if you donate a few."

The merchants who can get in touch with the East Palace are also somewhat capable, as long as they don't cause trouble, Yinfeng doesn't mind lending his name to them.

Xi Xi made a note that if there are similar things in the future, he will act accordingly.

A cup of soup soon bottomed out, Yinfeng wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "I still have some notes to read, you should go back first."

The words were tactful, but it was the first time Yinreng drove her away so clearly.Xi felt sad, but still gave a light blessing, turned and walked out.
