Chapter 99

Xia Zixuan's pretty face blushed, she shyly said, "It's nothing, but this servant wants to know, Duke Du, what does he like?"

"Presumptuous!" Chu Jiu yelled angrily, "Is it possible for you to intervene in the matter of Duke Du?"

Xia Zixuan hurriedly raised her head, and deliberately said with an aggrieved and sad look: "Elder-in-law calm down! This servant has no other intentions, it is that this servant treats the Duke...well, he admires him very much! This servant knows that his status is low and has no qualifications." Looking up at Duke Du's demeanor, I just want to know what Duke Du likes to eat, and this servant has a good cooking skill, so I want to cook something for him..."

"Bah—" As the owner of the dark black robe got closer and closer, Xia Zixuan's heart suddenly felt an inexplicable pulling force.

The pulling force was so strong that her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and an indescribable heat began to rise in her whole heart, filling her whole limbs with a warm current.

What's wrong with Aijia?

System: "Host, your heart rate fluctuates a bit strangely. Could it be because the big boss is next to you? Are you a little guilty?"

What's so guilty about Aijia?
"Good cooking skills?" Chu Jiu looked at Xia Zixuan secretly, and a hint of gloom flashed across his handsome face.

Well, it seems that this time the meticulous work is very careful!
He could even inquire about the secret hobby of Duke Du, who likes to eat delicious food!

"Ninth day——" Gong Shuo stopped slowly, and at a distance of one step between the two, he looked down at Xia Zixuan for a few times, then touched his heart subconsciously, his pupils shrank, and his eyes overflowed. An indescribably gloomy and complex color.

It's really strange, why did he feel a strong sense of familiarity in his heart the moment he saw this maid?

Moreover, this strong familiarity was also mixed with a monstrous plunder, which prompted him to rush over, wanting to help the maid up, and take a look at her true face in Lushan.

Fortunately, Gong Shuo has always been very patient, he suppressed the throbbing and inexplicable impulse, and looked at Chu Jiu calmly.

Chu Jiu hurriedly turned around, greeted the ceremony and said, "See Jiuqiantui!"

"Get up!" Gong Shuo raised his hand and pursed his lips, but from the corner of his eye he couldn't help looking at Xia Zixuan who was kneeling down with her head down.

"Mr. Du, this palace maid—" After Chujiu got up, she was in a hurry to remind Gong Shuo that this palace maid might come from an unknown source and might have plots.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zixuan raised her head abruptly, and met Gong Shuo's phoenix eyes without blinking.

It seemed that only she and Gong Shuo were left in the whole world, Xia Zixuan had never felt this strange feeling.Although the man in front of him was wearing the dark black brocade robe of the commander of the Jinyi Guards, but on that cold face full of desolation, there was an incomparably handsome face that was ignored by everyone.

Maybe it's because Gong Shuo gave people the impression of a cold and perverted eunuch leader, so few people noticed that he actually had a face that was even more beautiful than a woman's.

At this time, he was standing not far away, the sweet-scented osmanthus above his head whizzed down with the wind, and the scorching sun at noon cast a layer of bright halo behind him.

If his attire were changed to white, Xia Zixuan thought that Zhilan Yushu was definitely him!

"Slave servant Xiaoxi, see Duke Du!" Xia Zixuan's lips could not help but draw a shallow arc, she stepped forward a few steps, walked in front of Gong Shuo, blessed her body and said, "Don't you know Duke Du likes sweets? The servant wants to make some sweet-scented osmanthus cake and sweet-scented osmanthus soup, Dugong, you—"

"It's ready, send it to the side hall of Tianyin Palace!" Who knew that Xia Zixuan hadn't finished speaking, Gong Shuo immediately turned around and left, his voice was neither salty nor weak.

After listening carefully, Xia Zixuan swore, as if there was a hint of joy in her tone?
"Don't thank Nine Thousand Years Old!" Chu Jiu's eyes widened, and he watched Gong Shuo go far away in a daze, only then did he realize that Duke Du had agreed to the flattery of this little maid of unknown origin!
Oops!
Duke Du is an eunuch just like them, what kind of woman does he need to flatter him?
Eh, no, he knew that Chu Liu and the others seemed to be secretly having a rivalry.

Could it be that Duke Du is also feeling emptiness and loneliness, wanting to find someone to comfort him?

Chu Jiu was taken aback by his own guess. With a stern face, he glared at Xia Zixuan, squeezed his throat and said, "Since our lord Dugong is willing to give you a chance to show off, you should think about it, how can we let you go?" The Duke is very satisfied with you!"

Xia Zixuan is showing off to the system, look, Ai's family is out, and the Duke is still there!

System: "The host is too stinky! The villain is thoughtful and decisive, and the blood stained on his hands is estimated to be less than tens of thousands of people. With your lame excuse, he can see through your tricks at a glance. Willing to give you a performance Most of the chances are to find out the person behind the host!"

The person behind what?
Isn't Aijia some kind of undercover sent by his hostile force to attack?

System: "That's what the villain thinks. The host still needs to work hard on the road to conquering the host. Come on!"

"Yes, please don't worry, Eunuch Chujiu, the slaves will definitely make delicious pastries, which will satisfy the duke and the old man!" After Xia Zixuan blessed her blessing and left, she returned to Chuxiu Palace and asked Yingxiu to help pick them together. Osmanthus, peach blossom, etc.

It's just autumn, the season when all kinds of fruits are ripe.

Xia Zixuan made sweet-scented osmanthus cake and sweet-scented osmanthus soup, and Yingxiu enjoyed eating beside her. She wanted to make peach slices and mung bean cakes, etc.

After Xia Zixuan finished making seven or eight kinds of cakes, Yingxiu touched her chubby belly and said, "Xiaoxi, I didn't expect your dim sum to be so delicious! Let me tell you, your dim sum is better than the imperial meal." The chef, the Golden Knife Royal Chef, made even more delicious food!"

"If you like to eat, I will make more and save some for you every day when I cook for Duke Du." Xia Zixuan didn't intend to say that at first, but when she saw the familiar sleeve robe outside the small kitchen, her eyes flashed , Said deliberately as a young girl Huaichun.

"Hey, what are Xiaoxi and sister Yingxiu doing for food? I smelled a scent from a long distance away, and my stomach is growling non-stop!" Yao Jinse placed a dark chess game in Chuxiu Palace.

Ming Hui is careless, not to mention her family background, she will not be like the other maids from official families who boss around and look down on others.

Therefore, Minghui has a pivotal position among all the maids to be trained in Chuxiu Palace.

Xia Zixuan cast a veiled glance at Yingxiu, and sure enough, she found that her satisfied expression froze for a few seconds, a gloomy look flashed from her eyes, and she quickly returned to her innocent appearance.

Touching her bulging belly, Yingxiu said happily: "Is it sister Minghui? Hehe, you are late! All the snacks have gone into my stomach, and Xiaoxi's food box is going to be sent to me. Tianyin Palace, honor Lord Dugong!"

"Duke?" Reconfirming that he heard it right outside the threshold, Minghui's eyes flashed, and she pretended to say unintentionally: "Xiaoxi, you have always been the least courageous, how could you be with that murderous nine-thousand-year-old... "

Minghui didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but from the suspicious expression in her eyes and her cautious look, it showed that she had doubts about Xia Zixuan's sudden change of character.

Xia Zixuan shivered at the right time, and said in a crying voice: "Sister Minghui, don't scare me! I just bumped into the Duke accidentally when I got up at night. I was bound to die, but luckily the Duke is magnanimous and didn't care about me. .”

"I don't have any strengths, but I learned to eat when I was at home." Xia Zixuan said here, a little bit shyly said: "I want to make some food to honor the duke, but I don't know that the duke has a lot of things to do every day." , Will you eat the snacks I made?"

Ming Hui clenched his fists with his hands hidden in his sleeves, and then slowly released them.

Damn girl, you also know that the duke is deeply favored by Long, and he manages a lot of things every day, so where can he have the leisure to eat the country buns you made?

Ming Hui felt very uncomfortable!

Originally, from her point of view, except for her, no one would notice such a handsome man as Duke Du.Although he was just an eunuch, Minghui didn't care. The reason why she did her best to serve Yao Jinse was to ask for grace when the time came.

If you can get the approval of the empress, let Jinshang Jinkou speak well and give her and Gong Shuo a meal, that is a great gift!
But now this inconspicuous Xiaoxi, who usually behaves very ordinary and ordinary, has daydreams about people like Gong Shuo!

Hmph, how can a lowly maid like her covet Gong Shuo?
All the thoughts in Minghui's mind turned into one purpose, that is to teach Xiaoxi, a dead girl who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, who dares to covet her future husband of Minghui, a lesson!
"Sister Xiaoxi, I'm not talking about you. Since you also know that Duke Du is busy every day, then don't bother him in the past." Minghui stared at Xia Zixuan, the corners of her lips raised, showing a caring big sister attitude, He firmly grabbed Xia Zixuan's arm that was holding the food box.

Xia Zixuan broke free twice but did not break free, she couldn't help squinting her eyes, looking at the servant girl in front of her who became the first-class celebrity next to the false heroine Yao Jinse in front of her.

Aijia didn't provoke her, did he?You can analyze the system, what does she do to find fault?

According to her personality, shouldn't she be deeply in love with Aijia's sisters and care about Aijia?

System: "Ahem, host, have you ever seen rivals in love turn fights into friendship?"

What rival?
It's as if Ai's family has robbed her of her man!

No, this Minghui will become the first-class nanny next to the false heroine of the queen mother in the future. She accompanied the false heroine to die in the palace, and she was not married. How did Aijia become her title? Extinct the love rival of the old woman at the level of a teacher?
System: "Host, think about the plot carefully! When the villain finally dies, who will clean up for him?"

Xia Zixuan pursed her lips, she really didn't pay attention to Gong Shuo's final fate in the plot.

After such a deliberate reminder from the system, Xia Zixuan savored the plot carefully, and couldn't help being a little unhappy.

System, didn't you say that Aijia's indirect mission is to defeat the big boss?
System: "That's right."

That being the case, isn't the big boss the future husband of the Ai family?

Now this Ming Hui is self-restraining as if Aijia snatched her man, isn't it a little bit ignorant of Aijia, acting affectionate?

What should I do if I really want to kill her?

System: "Host, apart from the heroine and heroine, the lives of other characters don't matter."

Do you always feel that the system is urging Ai to do bad things?

But I love it!
"Sister Minghui, what are you doing?" Xia Zixuan had already hooked her hands into a hook, and when she was about to attack, Yingxiu suddenly rushed up in dissatisfaction, pushed Minghui away, and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaoxi still wants to take advantage of it." During the rest time, I went to the side hall of Tianyin Palace to deliver food, what are you doing to stop her?"

Minghui was pushed away by Yingxiu, her complexion sank, she didn't know what she thought of, she looked at Yingxiu meaningfully, and said with a cold snort: "You two have gotten a lot closer in one afternoon, and you two have gotten closer. It’s really sisterly love!”

Yingxiu originally just felt that Minghui was a bit yin and yang, which didn't match the usual kind and gentle appearance of the big sister next door.

Hearing Minghui's obviously malicious words now, she immediately realized that she was finding fault on purpose, and said with a bit of a bad face: "Our sisters are deeply affectionate and support each other, it's better than some smiling, hypocritical People are much better!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled Xia Zixuan out of the small kitchen, and said: "Xiaoxi, some people are used to joking in front of their faces and stabbing them in the back. We need to keep our eyes open and don't be plotted against!"

"Yingxiu and we are both court ladies, why bother to make things difficult for each other?" Xia Zixuan and Yingxiu walked out of the small kitchen. Although her voice gradually faded away, it still wafted clearly into Minghui's ears.

"Oh, but don't worry, I will also let those who have ulterior motives to make trouble, I will let them know that I am not easy to mess with!"

"Two lowly maidservants!" Throwing these words viciously, Minghui glanced at Xia Zixuan's leftover ingredients for making all kinds of flower cakes with a sullen face, rolled her eyes, and walked over to pick out a few small kumquats from it , smiled coldly and said: "I heard that the concubine of Zhongcui Palace is the most precious little kumquat in the pot. I plan to dedicate the fruitful kumquats to Concubine Tong. I wish her good luck!"

Ming Hui seemed to be talking to herself, her right hands were tightly clasped together, and the kumquat was immediately crushed by her.

Orange juice flowed down from the gap between her fingers, Minghui twisted her face, and said viciously: "If the concubine Rufei finds out that this birthday gift has been secretly taken away, the original auspicious wish will turn out to be counterproductive. If the imperial concubine is so vicious, the murderer will end badly!"

Sen smiled coldly, Ming Hui turned and left the small kitchen.

Xia Zixuan and Yingxiu left the small kitchen, they took a shortcut and went to Tianyin Palace.

Tianyin Palace is the emperor's residence, and the nearest Yikun Palace is the palace of successive empresses.It's just because Li Qianxun has rejected the minister's proposal for various reasons since he ascended the throne, and canonized her as a queen.

Therefore, at present, this Yikun Palace is still an ownerless palace.

As Li Qianxun's pampered imperial concubine Yao Jinse, the Jingxi Palace and Yikun Palace where she lives are located in the east and west directions of Tianyin Palace, and the distance from Tianyin Palace is about the same.

This was also the reason why the Yao family supported Li Qianxun's enthronement as emperor and his daughter entered the palace as a concubine, but they did not ascend the throne, but instead gave a noble concubine the reason why they did not express their dissatisfaction.

Because Li Qianxun's biological mother, the Empress Dowager, was also the late emperor's noble concubine, and she also lived in Jingxi Palace at the beginning. It was after the late emperor took control of the military power that he was registered as a queen and stationed in Yikun Palace.

If it wasn't for the rebellion of the first emperor's younger brother Mian Wang, which caused three years of war and strife in Tianqi Kingdom, it is estimated that Li Qianxun, the crown prince, would not have grown so much. The premature experience gave him the strategy that an emperor should have.

"The general doesn't understand what Aunt Fang means." At this moment, a purposely lowered voice came from the artificial cave on the side.

Xia Zixuan stopped and turned to look at Yingxiu.

Yingxiu's complexion changed, her eyes flickered, and finally she raised her index finger to tell Xia Zixuan to keep quiet.

The two of them glanced around, then slipped lightly into a nearby cave.

Xia Zixuan was ashamed, is this girl going to listen to the wall?

Damn, Aijia doubts this girl's IQ, how did she become one of the heroine's biggest rivals?

The principle followed in the palace, when encountering such a thing, shouldn't it be too late to dodge?Why is this damn girl pulling herself to eavesdrop?
Aunt Fang, wouldn't it be the Aunt Fang Lan who came to her residence last night to convey the heroine's wishes?
"Hehe, Commander Shi really knows how to joke!" Aunt Fang said, her voice really belonged to Aunt Fanglan, and she said disdainfully: "Our mother didn't expect Commander Shi to help her, but just reminded Shi Tong Commander, no matter what your plans are, don't hold back our empress!"
