Imperial City

After lunch, Wei Qi drank the medicine and his mouth felt bitter, and his eyes couldn't help rolling around the mahogany suitcase on the square table.

It's not that he's spineless, it's that the medicine is too bitter, he made excuses for himself.

If I don't eat for nothing, I can still continue to be stubborn after eating.Hey, it's just that I was quick to talk just now, but now I can't even open my mouth if I want to eat.

He was annoyed by the plate of sour cake.

Xiao Fangzi squatted by the west wall of the room and wiped his boots, humming and humming earnestly.A pair of short plush boots took a full cup of tea to polish, but they haven't finished wiping them yet.

Wei Qi was anxious, this person was too sincere.

"Little Fangzi." He couldn't help it, and the taste of sour cake made his mouth bitter.

"What's the matter, what's your order?" Xiao Fangzi turned his head, dropped the scarf and got up.

"I'm a bit hungry, can I trouble you to heat up the porridge?" Wei Qi kept his expression on and nonsense.

I was hungry, and I just had lunch. Although I only drank half a bowl of fish porridge, it has been like this for the past few days, and it is strange today.

"You're hungry." He suspected he heard it wrong.

"Hmm... a little bit." Wei Qi rubbed his stomach and looked at him innocently.

"Sure, let's go now, little one, just wait for a while." Xiao Fangzi put down his rolled up cuffs, picked up the leftovers from lunch, went out and closed the door.

Wei Qi poked his neck to watch the person go away, quietly lifted the quilt, without any shoes on, and tiptoed down to the square table.

He opened the suitcase, took a bite out of something, and the sour and slightly sweet taste spread between his lips and tongue.

It's been a long time since I've eaten anything with a strong taste, and I was so sour that I covered my teeth for a while.

He ate it in one bite, took another bite, and in the second bite he ate an almond hidden inside.

Ugh! Brother Jia Cai made this dim sum! Only he can stuff almonds in it.

Wei Qi was so happy that his eyes lit up and his brows stretched, but he couldn't tell that he was still ill.

Could it be that he knew that his life was hard, so he asked Mr. An to bring the things in.

Wei Qi grinned and made him worry again, but his mouth really has no taste these days, and he hasn't eaten this stuff for several months.

"Master Wei." Xiao Fangzi went back and forth, pushed open the door and saw Wei Qi standing barefoot in the middle of the room, with the box on the square table wide open, he nodded contentedly, chewing something in his mouth.

Xiaofangzi:. . .Who said he was calm.

Did the eunuch walk without making a sound? Wei Qi was so frightened that he choked on a mouthful of pastry and coughed non-stop.

The five minions behind: . . .

Xiao Fangzi entered the room, didn't say anything, poured a cup of tea for him, and obediently followed him with a straight face.

Wei Qi stopped coughing, Xiao Fangzi showed no expression on his face, walked to the edge and took his shoes and put them at the person's feet.

The strange way never sees recovery, he gets sick for a while, and he says that the sickness goes away like a thread, so it turns out that this person doesn't want to get better at all, stepping on the stone slab with bare feet in the cold weather, causing himself to be said by Mr. An.

Wei Qi blushed from coughing, and his face was embarrassing, the corners of his mouth were stiff: "I'm sorry..."

"You're welcome." Xiao Fangzi's tone was blunt, with anger in his heart.

Five eunuchs were standing at the door with charcoal basins and other items, Wei Qi looked at Xiao Fangzi with doubts in his eyes.

"The person from the Hall of Mental Cultivation sent you something to protect you from the cold, and told you to take care of yourself quickly. If it is not good, you will be sent to the Youting Court. The New Year is approaching, and it will be bad luck to stay in our palace."

He happened to bump into this group of people a few steps away from the gate of the hospital, so he turned around and led them back.

On the way, the leading eunuch explained the purpose of his visit with a few words and beat him up.

Originally, Xiao Fangzi was anxious for Wei Qi after hearing this, and felt ashamed in his heart, feeling that he hadn't taken care of him well, so he didn't want to say ugly words.

But now he is angry in his heart, and he can't stop talking quickly for a while.

The leading eunuch was anxious to scold people at this moment, he said this to Xiao Fangzi to tell people to eat more snacks, but he actually said it in front of Master Wei!

Ancestor! If Master An knew, he would slap my mouth!

He hastily changed the conversation between these two people, "Master Wei, the Holy Majesty takes pity on him, and specially bestowed a charcoal basin, Mrs. Tang and other things to keep out the cold.

The charcoal is gold silk charcoal for royal use, and it doesn't smell like smoke when it burns. The little ones will change it for you three times a day, so that he will be warm all the time. "

His face was full of smiles, "Mrs. Tang gave you four, you can use them two by two. It's so hot that you stuff them into the mattress. It's not comfortable."

"Cotton shoes, cotton socks, and satin quilted gowns are all newly made to your size!"

He winked at the back, and his subordinates saluted Wei Qi, and entered the room to put things in order.

There are two charcoal pots under the bed, one under the square table, another under the dressing table, and one at the head and end of Mrs. Tang's bed.

Two servants raised the square table, and the red plum felt blanket painted with gold and embroidered was two feet long (about 6.6 meters) long and one foot wide. When it was spread in the middle of the room, most of the cold air on the bluestone board dissipated immediately.

This posture is nothing more than a cliché to send people to hide in the courtyard to save face, I am really stupid.

Xiao Fangzi watched coldly, feeling even more uncomfortable.

If the emperor took a liking to someone and ordered him casually, the subordinates wished they could confess this person, and everyone would worship together.

What is this?Isn't His Majesty angry?Doesn't it mean that a slave is not worthy of these?Now it seems that you really want to make me better, why didn't my wish come true then?

Wei Qi's heart was twisted and turned, and he turned all kinds of thoughts, but in the end he couldn't feel any resentment.

That's how he is, if anyone sincerely shows weakness to please, no matter how angry he is, he should save some face for others.

Now that the things have been taken away, I don't care about this matter. That person is the emperor, and he is indeed just a slave.

"Slave, thank you for your concern." He lowered his eyes and said.

"I will bring this word for you, my little one!" The leading eunuch was a smart person, and he climbed along the wooden pole before it was thrown out.

Wei Qi choked, it was just an occasional talk, there was nothing to take along.How can the Holy One have time to listen to these trivial matters.

So he just smiled and said no more.

Several people exchanged pleasantries, the eunuchs said their goodbyes, and Xiao Fangzi saw off the guests.

The room was silent for a moment, Wei Qi explained with a smile, "I'm so hungry, I was so hungry just now, even if I put a pile of shit in front of me, I'm afraid I can eat it."

This is like fighting, how can Xiao Fangzi hide his anger, he just put on a face, and said stiffly: "I will bring it for you, little one." After he finished speaking, he ignored others, picked up the food box and went straight Go out to the small dining room.

Wei Qi choked.

It didn't take long for the room to warm up, stepping on the ground with bare feet, how could it catch a cold even if the fluffy felt blanket was so soft, even lying on the ground was very warm.

After a stick of incense, (about half an hour) Xiao Fangzi came back, opened the food box, and set out four silver-inlaid red lacquer bowls, which contained jujube and Poria cocos glutinous rice porridge, sesame and almond porridge, ginger and golden rice and sea cucumber. Congee, perilla fish porridge.

Before it was over, I took out four plates of appetizers and side dishes, shredded papaya, shredded bamboo shoots with pickled cabbage, pickles in plum sauce, and so on.

Wei Qi was dumbfounded.

"The father-in-law in the small dining room said, how can you ask Master Wei to eat the leftovers at noon! Master An ordered, what time Master Wei wants to eat, and when he wants to eat, just let someone come and pick it up."

Xiao Fangzi's yin and yang is strange, learning his tongue, and he is very flattering.

Is this because of firecrackers?Where did you offend him? Isn't it just to lie to him not to eat sour? It's also worthy of anger?

wrong.Wei Qi turned the corner again, the person in front of him was a freak, he liked that one.

This is. . .jealous.

He was a little at a loss as to what I should do, Xiao Fangzi was a nice person, he didn't want to make people feel bad, if only he could change with himself.

change. .Wei Qi was stunned, and quietly looked at the person in front of him.

Big almond eyes, thin lips, straight nose, and fair face.

It's not surprising that they are equally handsome, the people in Qianqing Palace, even the older ones like Mr. An, are neat and tidy.

Wei Qi looked down, Xiao Fangzi also had a slender figure, but a little shorter than himself, with a slender frame.

Only now did he realize that the two were not only about the same age, but also had the same appearance and figure.

Wei Qi wondered again what the Holy Majesty liked about me.

Xiao Fangzi is also very good, he often laughs, he is also pleasing to the eye, and most importantly, he still has meaning.

Could it be because I dangled in front of him the most times?

It's better to push Xiaofangzi out.

This idea came out of nowhere, Wei Qi thought it up for a while, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong.

He is already in the pit of fire, and he will be a backer for whatever he does, so what if he likes that person, that person is very hard-hearted, why send him to suffer.

Wei Qi dismissed the absurd thoughts, and pulled Xiao Fangzi to eat together.

Not long after lunch, where can I eat, do you think everyone is like him?

Xiao Fangzi ignored him with a stern face, Wei Wenwen flattered him, the former knew that he was serving others after all, and most of the anger was due to jealousy, after careful investigation, it had nothing to do with Wei Qi.

After one night, the reconciliation was as good as ever.

In the evening, in the Dong Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Anxi told the emperor what happened at Wei Qi's side during the day, how grateful and guilty he was, and he knew he was wrong.

The latter turned to the second page of the fourth volume of "Qi Min Yao Shu", "Stop talking, did I ask you?"

"You talk too much, master, please don't blame me." An Xi flattered her with a shy face.

The emperor snorted softly, tapped the table with his index finger behind his back, read the book for a while, and suddenly whispered: "It's quite interesting." I don't know if this sentence is referring to the old fox or the little fox.

Anxi thought he was talking about himself, and hurriedly said, "Return to the words of the Holy One. With your pity, Wei Qi will recover in a few days."

The emperor squinted at him, "A slave, can't you make it with water? It's not good, so what's the point of raising it?" He wrapped a dragon-patterned jade pendant around him and lowered the green tassels, "You should be punished as the chief executive, if you don't rule strictly. .”

Blame me too? "The slave is guilty, it is indeed negligence, even if Wei Qi doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, please forgive me, the slave will definitely be disciplined in the future." I am afraid that it will not be my turn to take care of him in the future.

"Oh." The emperor snorted lightly, "I'm afraid you can't control him." It was very noisy, it was a headache, if it wasn't for some fun, such a slave should have been executed long ago.

An Xi thought to himself: Of course I can't control it. Now you are behind the person who is supporting me, so how can I dare to control it. "A slave is not talented and has failed to fulfill his duties. A boy like Wei Qi can only be restrained by your brilliance and martial arts. Your Majesty, you are the emperor, and you are sitting in the world. Naturally, a mere slave should not be taken seriously. Just tick your fingers. He will submit to Tero."

The flattering emperor lacked confidence, because he couldn't be subdued with just a few fingers.

He coughed lightly, "Come on, don't talk nonsense, I'll take it back to work as an errand." The emperor turned a page of the book, "How many days will he be on duty after he has been promoted to his rank? It's a waste of money."

"Whoo."

Three days later, people from the Hall of Mental Cultivation brought him something to keep out the cold. It was as warm as early summer every day in Tanli.

The imperial doctor had seen him, and he was well, and Wei Qi had to go back to work again.

Rest for another two days and return to work.

After recovering from illness, Anxi simply pointed Xiao Fangzi to Wei Qi, and there were people in the personal servants who could help him, so Xiao Fangzi did not move back.

Wei Qiyin was still a little dazed when he got up, and after being lazy for so many days, he often nestled on the bed, and his bones would fall apart.

After a hasty breakfast with Xiao Fangzi, Wei Qi left to clean the house and pack things.

He was promoted suddenly, and he has not yet moved to the servant's courtyard which is closer to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, except for Anxi, all the personal servants live there.

Wei Qi went to the other side of the Hall of Mental Cultivation ahead, and Mr. An must be waiting there at this moment.

Walking to the side hall, the servants had consciously lined up in two rows and stood under the corridor. Seeing this, Wei Qi lowered his head and took something from the long table beside him, and walked to the back to stand in his own place.

After half a cup of tea, the eunuch who had guarded the night in the Hall of Mental Cultivation from the previous day came to report, and Anxi came out from the room, sweeping his eyes lightly towards the queue.

"My little ones, please rest assured, Lord An." Everyone bowed in unison.

"Well, my lord, get up and go with our family as an errand."

"Hey." Each servant's voice was about the same louder, with the same tone.

The cold wind in winter blew past, blowing their loose and thick silk robes rattling.

Although the sky was still as dark as night at the moment, this response signaled the beginning of an ordinary day in Qianqing Palace.

Wei Qi went to Anxi's house to ask for Ann last night, and Master An's attitude at that moment was surprisingly kind.

Smilingly, he patted him on the shoulder, saying that since he recovered from his illness, he would be able to work in peace, how much pity does the Holy Majesty have, so don't bother him any more.

When he said this, he was soft-spoken and never blamed.

Wei Qi wondered, it stands to reason that the Holy Majesty should have sent someone to the inner court to inspect, if he believed himself, he would not fully listen to what was said there, if he did not believe himself, then the evidence was convincing, at this moment, Mr. An would say less Just a few words of scolding.

Perhaps, the Holy Majesty didn't care about this matter at all, and was too lazy to figure it out.

That's right, they all say that I am a slave and not worth it.

But he sent something to support him, although it was just a casual order.

Or maybe the Holy Majesty thinks he is a bit interesting.

With a distance of several zhang, Wei Qi's thoughts were complicated.

The Dongnuan Pavilion was brightly lit, there was no sound, and the warmth greeted him. He calmed down and worked cautiously.

Everyone bowed down, and the bright vermilion lacquer tray was placed beside them, and the horseshoe sleeves were neatly flicked, "Masters, please be safe and blessed, and be safe and blessed."

"Well, get up."

The emperor put on his regular robe and sat on the edge, Anxi said: "My lord, Da'an, Wei Qi, the personal servant in front of the emperor, has recovered from his illness, and he is coming back today to serve as an errand."

The former opened his eyes and looked down, everyone gave way, Wei Qi came out, took two steps forward, knelt down and bowed down again, bowing three times and prostrating nine times.

"Slave Wei Qi, please be blessed with peace and blessings."

It was a little far away, and the emperor couldn't see it very clearly, but his eyes swept around deeply, with the low pressure of getting up in the morning.

It seems to have lost weight.

It's time to make a fuss.

"Hmm." The emperor responded in a low voice, "It's good to be on an errand." It was rare to hold back a sentence early in the morning.

"Whoo."

The emperor got up, and everyone followed behind slowly.

The Holy Majesty did not pursue it, and Wei Qi was relieved.

Has the emperor checked this matter?He didn't check it, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, what to do with such a commotion, once this slave made a request, he saw it thoroughly.

Originally, he was also angry, but he felt that he had exhausted some energy and let others notice it, so that people pushed their noses and slapped their faces.

He also wanted to teach him a lesson, but he just procrastinated. He felt that it was almost time, but the tossing person was still not healed.

That's all, what's the value of the same thing.

The emperor passed by Wei Qi, glanced at it quietly from the corner of his eye for a moment, and his white chin flashed past, becoming smaller and sharper.

For some reason, his heart skipped a beat, and he sighed secretly. It was hard to raise, and he didn't gain any flesh after feeding him.

Anxi saw these things in his eyes, and began to care about them.

During the day and night, there was nothing wrong with each other, except that the emperor called Wei Qi once by name.

At that time, he was writing with a vermilion pen, glanced into the inkstone, and said, "Wei Qi, study ink."

As soon as these words came out, the air in the inner study was inexplicably stagnant, and everyone held their breaths, secretly paying attention to their reactions.

The imperial servant Mo's servant who has been serving for a whole year feels very wronged, what did he do wrong?He originally planned to study ink after a while, but there is still a layer in the inkstone, he usually works like this on errands.

The Holy One had the heart of Sima Zhao, holding a vermilion pen and using cinnabar in his hand, and asked people to grind the ink.

An Xi stood behind her with her head down, and smiled.

This is unbearable lo.

Wei Qi responded with a respectful and steady tone, and his face was calm.

He quietly walked to the Huanghuali Qiaotou table, his steps were still a little wandering, it was hard to notice without looking carefully.

There is a shallow layer of residual ink left in the tiger-shaped inkstone.

There was clear water in a small blue and white porcelain bowl, Wei Qi took some and poured it into the inkstone, which would be one-fifth of the place, held the ink ingot flat on his wrist, vertically the ink ingot, and circled at a constant speed.

The posture is correct, and the technique is also skillful. The horseshoe sleeves are held by the white and slender fingers, and the deep purple is floating.

The emperor glanced at it twice, although his eyes were still on the booklet, his heart could not be calm.

After a cup of tea, the emperor frowned and gestured to look at the inkstone. Wei Qi lowered his eyebrows, his nose was covered with thin sweat.

"Go back, the thickness is uneven."

"Hey." Wei Qi stopped his wrist, he didn't like to serve, his hands were sore and he didn't have a shape.

The ink has not yet been researched, and the waiter who waits for the ink steps forward.

When I saw it, I murmured in my heart: This is not very good, there are a few times, and it is not even.

An Xi thought to himself, thanks to the fact that the Holy Majesty is the emperor, it is really worrying.
