Vol 5 Chapter 35: The whereabouts of the husband

In the main hall, Yunxi wrapped the boiled egg with a clean veil, giving Zhiqi a thin face.
The maidservant used to serve Yu Concubine Gu Yunyao in Jingyang Palace. After Yunxi returned to her face, she visited her sister several times in the palace, and he had a relationship with Zhiqi.
Sitting on the corner stool, Zhiqi wandered around every inch of the brick wall and every ornament in the hall with his injuries, and he cried and stated the past slowly:
"When the slave and maid arrived here, I always remembered the time when she used to serve Concubine Yu. That year, she went to the Jiangnan fief with the seventh prince. She could only take Gonggong Zhao and Aunt Songqin, and we were assigned to other places in the palace. Fortunately, I met your master today. If you change to someone else, you will surely kill the servant."
Yunxi felt miserable when he heard it. He took the panax notoginseng safflower oil on the table and carefully rubbed her wounds.
Zhiqi moved his eyebrows with pain, but bit his lip and endured silently.
Yunxi admired her strength, her nose couldn't help but sour, and she said while painting:
"Be patient, this panax notoginseng safflower oil can cure bruises. Later, I will take some shark pearl powder for you. After cleaning the face in the evening, apply glycerin on the face, and the marks on the face will disappear the next day. ."
Time is like water, and within a year, it is a matter of fact to step into this huge deep palace again.
It is indeed better to have to meet the deceased, and that is why Yunxi brought Zhiqi to Jingyang Palace and gave her medicine by himself.
Zhang Shi Dongzhu stood aside and watched, squinting at Zhiqi, laughing and saying coldly:
"You are so lucky, a ninth-tier maid from the Garment Bureau can help our lady to give you medicine in person."
Zhiqi was moved to tears and got up hurriedly:
"The lady is kind to others, and the slave and maidservant have nothing to pay for, so I'm here to give you more bangs."
He knelt down and smashed his head like garlic while speaking, and knocked his head with sincerity every time, hitting the ground with a "boom, boom" sound.
Dongzhu shook his shoulders and turned his eyes triumphantly.
Yunxi was so frightened that he pulled people up directly, looked at her blue and red forehead with distress, and stuffed the half bottle of Panax notoginseng safflower oil into her hand one by one.
Rong Se Wu Wen turned to Dong Zhu, Yun Xi commanded:
"Go to the small kitchen to see if lunch is ready. Tell the cook that I want to eat the bird's nest sweet soup after lunch, and ask them to prepare it in advance."
Dong Zhu pressed the corners of his mouth, gave a perfunctory blessing, and left the hall.
Yunxi joins hands with Zhiqi:
"You come with this palace and have something for you."
Zhiqi was sincere and frightened, bowed his head and said:
"Yes."
The two entered the bedroom, and Yun Xi took out an oval silver gilt carved box from the small drawer of the sandalwood dressing table.
There is a sufficient amount of Donghai mackerel pearl powder in it, and the powder is mixed with apricot pollen to wipe the face extremely beautiful.
Adding a small spoonful of it into a bath of milk and rose juice can also heal Yunxi's scars.
East China Sea shark pearls are produced by huge human-like fishes unique to the East China Sea. One bead is colorful, as strong as colored glaze, which is one of the reasons why it is more cherished than mussel beads.
In order to obtain this pearl, the Zhuzhu people in the East China Sea need to go to sea in groups, risk catching mackerel mermaid on board, and then injure them with a sharp weapon.
At that time, the mackerel mermaid felt pain, and the tears would condense into seven-colored beads in the air when they flowed. This is the legendary wonder of "spreading tears into beads".
There are also rumors that the mackerel mermaid is the holy spirit of heaven and earth, and there are many storms in the sea. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the fleet to be killed when catching mackerel and fetching pearls.
This is the second reason why shark pearls are precious.
The box of shark pearl powder in Yunxi's hand is the latest one from the East China Sea. He selected a round-shaped and the size of a pigeon egg. It was sent to the palace without rest until it was sent to the palace by the South China Xinming Shanggong Bureau. After turning into powder, it was repeatedly sifted with a fine grate made of haze gauze, packed in a beautiful box and served to Jingyang Palace to please his beloved woman.
And Yun Xi changed hands and gave it to an inconspicuous palace maid, and said boldly:
"Take it, this is the newly made shark pearl powder, for you."
Knowing the preciousness of this box of things, Zhiqi quickly backed away and did not dare to pick it up easily.
"The master has a kind heart, so please ask good people to do it to the end and accept the slaves."
The girl knelt down again and started crying.
Yunxi's face was slightly startled, staring at her and slowly asking:
"Do you want to follow this palace?"
"Yes Yes."
Zhiqi seemed to have caught the life-saving straw, climbed a step forward, and kowtowed hard:
"Master Mingjian, the servants never want to go back to the clothing bureau again. The stewards there are people with dark hearts and wealth. In the past, the concubine Yu was favored by the first emperor, and they were a lot of fawning.
Now that the new emperor has been changed, Master Yu has also gone out of the palace. The servants and maidservants are helpless, and work in the coat bureau on weekdays.
Niang Niang is the younger sister of Master Yu, and the slave and maidservant see you as if they have met relatives. You do your best to accept the servants, the servants really want to serve the master. "
Yunxi looked at the door of the bedroom sideways, and stepped forward to help Zhiqi.
"Really decided?"
Zhiqi nodded his head, hesitatingly looked at Yun Xi and humbled his head quickly:
"I just don't know if it will cause you trouble."
Yun Xi smiled:
"I'm not afraid to trouble this palace, but if you really want to come, this palace has something to tell you. Except for this palace, anyone in Jingyang Palace who asks you anything, you are not allowed to answer truthfully. Be alert to a hundred and twenty hearts , Don’t be smart, you can do it?"
The color of the game is fixed:
"Master, rest assured, you and Master Yu treat people very well, and the slave and maid persevere you, and only recognize you from now on, and the slave and maid will be very loyal to you."
A comforting smile appeared at the corner of Yun Xi's eyes, and said frankly:
"Very well, my palace immediately sent someone to inform the coat of arms bureau. You don't go back, go get your clothes later, and change to serve in front of the palace."
"Maid slave, thank you master."
Zhiqi wiped away his tears, thoughtfully, and nodded his voice to a very low level:
"Master, maidservant... The maidservant still has one thing unclear. I want to ask the master to understand."
Yunxi smiled broadly and delivered the box of shark pearl powder to her hand:
"go ahead."
Zhiqi was embarrassed and said:
"...In the past, when the old emperor was alive, the palace knew you that you had a good relationship with Governor Leng of Dongchang. Now you enter the palace as a concubine, but for the sake of Governor Leng assassinating the emperor?"
Yunxi's face was slightly positive, and he didn't answer immediately.
Zhiqi's face became more frightened, only to kneel and kowtow violently:
"The servant girl it, the servant girl is talking too much..."
Yunxi frowned, turned around and sat on the rose chair, and spoke lightly:
"Get up, I have something to ask you."
Seeing the girl obediently do it, she was taken aback for a moment and continued:
"In this year's time, there are any new rumors in the palace, about Dongchang and Governor Leng, let me talk about it."
"Slaves obey orders."
The girl stood upright and answered in a low voice:
"While the slave servant was still serving Master Yu, the new emperor returned to Beijing from Guiping, and one day he ordered the king to enclose the land, and soon sent the Seventh Prince and Master Yu to Jiangnan.
At first, the inside of the palace was fairly peaceful, but afterwards, the people in the palace were rumored to replace officials on a large scale, and even the Dongchang and various divisions were also changing blood. Then I heard the news from the previous dynasty that Governor Leng of the East Factory had failed to ambush people and horses on Kunhuang Island to assassinate the new emperor, and he was secretly executed with a few big heads.
There is nothing going on, mostly because you were named a third-rank noble concubine by the emperor and cultivated in Yonglu Temple..."
Yun Xi leaned quietly on the chair, and the hem of the lotus leaf skirt showed a pattern of double carps playing in the water embroidered with cyan satin silk.
Her face was clear, and her long, slightly hanging eyelashes blocked the faint light of hatred and determination in her eyes.
"Zhiqi, do you believe those rumors?"
Seeing the tears gleaming in Yun Xi's eyes, the girl shook her head in surprise:
"What's wrong with the master? The slave and maidservant do not believe what others say, but the slave only believes the master's words."
Yun Xi happily curled his lips, stroked the corners of his wet eyes, and sighed deeply:
"In the past, my sister always heard from my sister that she was a bird whose wings were broken and was trapped in this square city. At this time, the palace finally realized her suffering."
The eyes of the water patrolled around, and there were clear tears coming down:
"Zhiqi, although this palace is the most magnificent palace inhabited, the food and clothing costs are among the best in the world, but this palace is not free. All day, every pair of eyes in this Jingyang Palace is Staring at this palace, it is like a pair of cold shackles, firmly restraining every move of this palace."
"master……"
What Zhiqi realizes is sad but sure, and vowed:
"From now on, the maidservant will be your eyes, your hand, and the maidservant will protect you wholeheartedly, even if you go through water and fire!"
Yun Xi sore his nose for this, and smiled:
"So, my palace, thank you. One more thing, the Japanese Palace heard that a prince in our palace went to the northwest. I wonder who is the emperor's brother?"
This was originally the information revealed by Huanan Xin who came to see her and had a conversation with the newspaper eunuch.
Yunxi was puzzled about this. In the past, when she used "Tu Muxue" as an errand in the palace, she knew that apart from the Seventh Prince Hua Nanlin, Hua Nanxin had no other brothers.
How could there be an extra brother beside him in vain after a year?
Yunxi knew well that in Jingyang Palace, from the head of Dongzhu to the little who guarded the gate, Hua Nanxin sent her to monitor her, which is absolutely unbelievable.
Therefore, she would never ask them any doubts in her heart.
Zhiqi didn't hide it, and replied directly:
"Back to the master, the prince you asked about is not the brother of the emperor, but his uncle, the Ninth King Hua Nanhe.":,,
