Vol 2 Chapter 21: Out of nothing

After sending away Cheng Wanli, Gu Yunxi went to the kitchen and set about preparing dinner for the governor.
There was a flash of figures outside, and then the Xiangfeng Luo skirt came in gracefully.
Gu Yunxi was cutting vegetables, and a slender person stood beside the large wooden table, resembling a weak willow in the wind. A large kitchen knife flew up and down on the white and slender hand, and it didn't show the clumsy and heavy feeling of iron.
In the blink of an eye, a handful of sour beans were cut into long slender shredded beans, and a row of emerald green lay on the chopping board.
Just raising her eyes, she saw Yan Wan standing by, tilting her head and watching her cutting vegetables with interest.
Gu Yunxi was very surprised and stopped immediately.
"Girl Yanwan, why are you here?"
"The imperial physician in the palace came over to change the dressing of the superintendent's wound, and the servants were inconvenient to be present. I heard that the son was in the house, so he came to help the son."
Yan Wan joined hands and smiled softly at Gu Yunxi, her voice murmured.
"Oh, there will be a lot of fumes here, the girl should go elsewhere. When dinner is ready, I will ask someone to come over and get it."
After speaking, Gu Yunxi lowered his eyes and continued cutting vegetables.
Perhaps the other party's voice was too pleasing to the ears. Every time he heard that beautiful smiling voice, Gu Yunxi always felt uncomfortable in his heart. He was both envious and disappointed.
She stopped speaking, and sullenly blanched the shredded beans in hot water, then fry them in a frying pan, skillfully.
Yan Wan raised her nose and sniffed the air, watching the blue smoke rolling into the air in the wok. Instead of hiding, she approached Gu Yunxi a few steps, her voice sweet and praised:
"Young Master Yun is worthy of being a fine person. What you need to do on the stove is meticulousness and patience. Compared with Young Master, Yan Wan is inferior."
I didn't want to talk to her, but when I thought that she came from the palace, I couldn't be cold. So, Gu Yunxi was busy while chatting with Yanwan at will:
"Girl Yanwan, what were you responsible for in Kunning Palace before?"
Gu Yunxi wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the girls around him.
"The daily tasks of slaves and maids are not too tiring. You only need to maintain the flowers, birds, fish and insects in the Queen's Palace. In winter, it is even more leisurely. Most of the time, they only serve plum branches and bluegrass.
For those green plants that have passed the flowering period, you don't have to bother too much. Therefore, in winter, I am also responsible for adding charcoal to make fire in the Lord’s womb. "
"Oh……"
Gu Yunxi casually agreed, and put the fried dishes on the plate.
While Gu Yunxi was busy on hand, Yanwan glanced obliquely without making a sound, then raised her delicate lips, and her bewildered smile was mixed with inexplicable sinisterness. The graceful body swayed slightly, Gu Pansheng.
Yan Wan curled the piping of her wide sleeves and stirred slowly, as if she was doing her usual routine, and said leisurely:
"When the first year entered the winter, there was a slave servant who was making a charcoal stove in the courtyard. When Governor Leng came out of the master's womb, he was accidentally thrown on him by a whole stove of charcoal fire. At that time, the slave servant soul was scared. No more! Now that I want to come, the slave servant and Governor Leng are indeed predestined!"
What life is this
Gu Yunxi was surprised, but he had never heard of the supervisor mentioning it. However, when Yanwan said that she was connected to him, those words made Gu Yunxi feel very harsh.
"Then, then, you must have been punished afterwards?"
Gu Yunxi blinked anxiously, and asked instinctively. The trembling voice made Yanwan around her easily notice the unconcealed anxiety in her heart.
So she smiled silently and said with ulterior motives:
"Why not punished? The slave and maidservant were almost fined by the aunt in charge to deduct monthly money for the whole year. Thanks to Governor Leng's intercession for the slave, the deduction is free!"
Oh, the master who knows how to pity and cherish jade...
Suddenly, Gu Yunxi couldn't express his unhappiness!
In my ears, Yan Wan’s self-conscious chanting is uninterrupted:
"Slave
I was grateful, and saw that the handkerchief was soiled with charcoal when the governor wiped his clothes, so he embroidered a new one, and paid him back when he reentered the palace..."
Embroidered handkerchief? What kind of handkerchief? I've never heard the governor talk about this stuff
Gu Yunxi knew that the rules in the imperial palace were cumbersome, and the maid and the maid could never give or accept each other privately, otherwise there would be heavy punishments waiting for them.
But the status of the superintendent is different from the general eunuch, even if there are admirers giving gifts, it should be fine.
The heart lost weight instantly, lost its direction, and then it felt like being pressed by a heavy object, that kind of pain, almost suffocating. The taste in it, it is simply impossible to describe it in words.
"Oh! Yan Wan Su Ri Li is clumsy, she is not good at female red at all. She was afraid that the things she made would be too vulgar, and Governor Leng looked down on it, so she asked the aunt in the embroidery workshop of Shanggong Bureau to help the slaves and maids describe Xiuxianger. The slave and maid thought, since it is to apologize, things must always look like things to express the slave and maid’s gratitude to the governor..."
Beside, Gu Yunxi completely turned into a stiff statue.
Yanwan was close at hand with her, but her voice seemed to be far away. To her, she was extremely dazed and ethereal.
Gu Yunxi is not a few years old.
It's impossible for a woman to understand what it means to give a man embroidered handkerchief!
His own superintendent was dignified, and every time he went into and out of the tribute courtyard, he always quietly followed a bunch of small tribute girls behind him. Looking at him from a distance in the dark, only his eyes were straight..."
Gu Yunxi believes that such a Langhua Zhuojun character, even an eunuch, must be the focus of attraction wherever he goes!
"what"
Gu Yunxi was trapped in random thoughts, unable to extricate himself, and a sudden shout came from the side.
Gu Yunxi was so shocked that his body was trembling suddenly, and he recovered in a flash.
Yan Wan was panicked, with jade-like fingers facing the position of the wok, she cried out:
"Master Yun, the food is gone! The food is gone!"
Only then did Gu Yunxi think of the new dish, and looked down subconsciously, the ball of hibiscus chicken slices was completely burnt, and he was lying on the bottom of the hot red pot black and black.
Gu Yunxi's cheeks flushed suddenly, and his expression became extremely embarrassing:
"I'm sorry...I just talked..."
The corners of Yanwan's lips moved a little, smiling as if there were no details, and the exquisite face was inexplicable, which seemed to be some kind of complexity that was not easy to capture.
Turning her head to a small angle, a pair of bright, watery eyes firmly locked in the nervousness of Gu Yunxi's face, and asked her softly:
"Young Master Yun, what were you thinking of just now?"
"No, nothing..."
Gu Yunxi was uncomfortable with Yanwan's strange gaze. He shoveled away the waste in the pot a few times, took the wok with both hands and hid beside the water tank, deliberately avoiding the other's scrutiny eyes.
He scooped up a scoop of water and poured it into the pot, but because he was upset, half of the scoop of water was spilled on the edge of the pot and splashed all over the place.
Gu Yunxi became frantic and crouched to clean up, but didn't pay attention to Ting Ting Yuli's Yan Wan opposite, a vicious sneer passed by indifferently on that exquisitely beautiful face.
After brushing the wok, Gu Yunxi raised his head and said to Yanwan:
"Girl Yanwan, please take the melon and oxtail porridge hanging on the case to the superintendent's room first. When the porridge is cold, the ox marrow inside will freeze and you can't eat it."
"it is good!"
Yanwan happily agreed, closing the lid of a porcelain-white soup cup on the wooden table and placing it in the food box. He lifted the food box brightly and left first.
As soon as Yan Wan left, Gu Yunxi felt absent-minded after pulling out two more dishes. Pulled over the chair and sat down, his face looked sad.
If Yanwan, should I believe it?
Xin, I have never been with her in my life, and I just met and don't know her too much details.
Believe it or not, innocent girl, who wants to make a joke about such sensitive things?
Governor, did you really receive Yanwan's embroidered handkerchief?
Gu Yunxi no longer had the intention to continue preparing dinner, sitting in a daze (gan gan), a mess in his mind.
After half a moment, the young man walked into the kitchen quickly and gave his hand to Gu Yunxi:
"Master Yun, the governor wants you to go over for dinner."
Gu Yunxi got up, pointed at the three newly cooked dishes on the case, and sent the little servant:
"Take these things to the master's house, tell him I'm tired, and go back to the house to rest."
As soon as he turned around, he hurried out of the kitchen.
The palace, outside the cold palace
A man stood in a corner of the ruined building, facing the wall where the pink powder fell, and whispered for a long while.
After a short while in silence, across the wall, a dull and haggard voice came out, sounding like an older woman:
"...This is a trick with one stone and two birds. In the name of assassination, it is really vicious to attack the dragon fetus in the belly of Xu Fei first, and then use the mouth of an assassin to frame the admiral of the Dongchang admiral by the instigator. However, Leng Qingtang is really bad. It will be very detrimental to your future plans!"
"Please rest assured, I will send that person to help Dongchang stand up secretly."
The female voice on the opposite side of the wall had a brief meal and said casually:
"Gentiles, wolf ambitions. Don't believe it all, you need to pay more attention."
...
Palace, Xiao Ye Xuan
Gu Yunyao wandered repeatedly in the palace, looking anxious.
For several days, my sister Gu Yunxi kept sending informants to get in touch with her in the palace, urging her to get a roster of tribute girls who performed the "flying" dance at the spring banquet as soon as possible.
Zhao An, the chief eunuch, stood with his arms down, knowing what the master was worried about.
Zhao An bowed and persuaded in a soft voice:
"Master, you don't have to be anxious to get angry. What the little master entrusted, the minion just remembered a trick."
Gu Yunjin stopped immediately when she heard the words, her cheeks filled with sorrow (color), and when she spoke, there was an insurmountable resentment:
"My palace can't figure it out! So what exactly did Leng Qingtang pour Yunxi's soup? She was so anxious when he had an accident. If it was Yunxi's matter, my palace would help. But she did. For Leng Qingtang! Don’t you know, Father Leng, what did you do to you and me!"
Zhao An frowned, and after a sigh, he said calmly:
"It's all fate, I've come to this day, why bother looking forward to the past, the master?
Now that you and him are in the same boat, you can only succeed in the same boat. He sinks, and you are left behind. It is not easy to cross the river alone! Master, if we help him right now, we are helping ourselves. "
Gu Yunyao looked directly at Zhao An, her eyes were full of unspeakable emotions.
"I have to think about it, because I can't help you..."
Zhao An smiled calmly, the tone (color) was more soft, and he lowered his eyes and said:
"It's the best now. You don't have to live in hiding anymore. Minions, who are always with the master, can also be logical..."
"In the next life, my palace will compensate you well..."
Gu Yunyao felt more heartache at this time and couldn't help but say something sourly.
Zhao An didn't want to tell the truth to Gu Yunyao, he never believed that people have any future life.
Only by living well in this life without regrets can you be worthy of yourself and the people you protect.
Thinking of business affairs, Zhao An averted his emotions, put his hands between his sleeves, bowed slightly and said to Gu Yunyao:
"Master, the minion thought of a clever plan, but asked the master to give up a golden feather brocade that the emperor only rewarded."
Gu Yunyao was overjoyed and kept saying:
"Reluctant, willing! For the sake of Yunxi, this palace is naturally willing to accept everything. Reciting the piano, go and fetch the feather brocade that the emperor admired"
