[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

That night, Gu Qianqian had a dream. In the dream, she saw Gui Zhi sneaking into the small kitchen with a medicine bottle. leave quietly.

This dream has no logic and is out of control. As soon as the picture flashed by, the scene in front of me turned into the appearance of myself lying on the bed with my stomach in pain, and the mattress under my body was already wet with blood Everyone in the room panicked, Du Juan and the others were so anxious that their eyes were red, but Gui Zhi quietly went back to their room and took out a pill, and took another pill from the pillow. The silver hairpin was inserted into the hair on the sideburns, and then he lay down on the bed and went away without a sound.

"Dujuan!" Gu Qianqian woke up from her dream and subconsciously called out.

Du Juan, who was lying on the small bed in the outer room, heard the call and hurriedly woke up from the doze, quickly picked up the candle on the table, held it and walked into the inner room. Putting down the candle, walked to the side of the bed, raised the curtain, and looked at Gu Qianqian with concern, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you? You don't look very good."

"I'm fine, I'm just flustered after having a nightmare." Gu Qianqian said in a low voice, she paused, and said to Du Juan, "Go get me a glass of water."

Du Juan went obediently. There were always people staring at the tea room day and night. Naturally, someone boiled water. Du Juan poured a glass of water. After trying it, he felt that the temperature was almost the same, so he sent it to Gu Qianqian.

After drinking water, Gu Qianqian felt much better, and her cheeks were flushed. She looked at the enamel chiming clock in the room. It was not Yin time yet, but she couldn't sleep anymore, so she closed her clothes and got up, changed He took off his clothes and leaned on the couch to read a book.

She was holding the book in her hand, but her mind was not on the book. She was thinking about the dream she had last night. The medicinal powder of Guizhi was poured into the yam paste. These days, she really likes to eat yam cake with date paste. One bite, almost every day.

If nothing else happened, she would very likely want to eat yam cake with date paste today.

Gu Qianqian tapped the back of the book lightly with her fingers, a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

After noon, when the weather was hot, the treetops kept chirping. At noon, it seemed that the air was going to be scalded. In such a hot weather, the people in the small kitchen were very busy.

Concubine Xian had already told them that they wanted to eat yam cake with jujube paste. It took a lot of work to make this yam cake with date paste. It would take an hour to say the least. Concubine Xian hurriedly made it while she was taking a nap, so that the master would not even be able to see the shadow of a yam cake after waking up.

"The father-in-laws are all busy." Gui Zhi walked in with a smile at this time. When a man sees a beautiful woman, he is naturally willing to give him a good look, not to mention that Guizhi is more important in front of the concubine Xian.

"What does the girl want to eat?" A eunuch with a relatively thin face asked with a smile while making peace.

"Eunuch Lin asked this question, and those who don't know are still greedy as slaves." Gui Zhi said with a smile.

"That's right, Eunuch Lin, Miss Guizhi is a respectable person, so she's not greedy." A fat eunuch with a general belly next to her said to Eunuch Lin in a strange way.

Although there are not many people in the small kitchen, there is a lot of intrigue. People say that where there are many women, there are more calculations. They don't know that men's calculations are more undercurrent than in places where there are many women, and the methods are more despicable. .

Over the past month, several eunuchs have done a lot of things like being affectionate on the surface, but stabbing each other behind their backs. Today's talk like this is at best an appetizer.

"Yes, yes, our family made a mistake. Miss Guizhi, please don't take offense." Eunuch Lin said cheerfully, and raised his hand to pretend to slap himself on the mouth a few times, coaxing Guizhi to smile.

Guizhi laughed so hard that the flower branches trembled. After laughing enough, she glanced at the people in the small kitchen. There were not many people in the small kitchen at the moment, only five or six people. She smiled and said: "In the past, there were many sisters Under the care of the father-in-laws, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent watermelons a few days ago, and they have been placed in the well for the past few days. Just now, the slaves cut two watermelons and put them outside. I want to invite you to cool off the summer heat. Please do me a favor .”

Watermelon is not a rare thing in the palace. Every July, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send watermelons to the palaces. Even the maids and eunuchs will occasionally be rewarded to taste the sweetness of watermelon.

However, most of the watermelons that were rewarded did not enter the stomach in the end, but were smashed.

This is not because the maids and eunuchs are spoiling things. Watermelon is cold in nature, and it is hard to guarantee that it will not burst into the stomach if you eat it. On the elegant side, they cannot afford the consequences.

Therefore, every year the watermelons that were rewarded, they would stand on the steps and drop them down heavily.

But this is a normal situation. Today, Guizhi specially came to invite her, and her attitude is so low, and her attitude is so close, it is difficult for her father-in-law to refuse. Anyway, they don’t need to be close to serve them. Respond, go out with Guizhi.

Gui Zhi deliberately slowed down a few steps. Seeing them walking a certain distance, he quickly walked to the side of the yam mud, took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve, quickly poured the abortion powder into the yam mud, and pounded it heavily with a pestle. After mixing, he took back the medicine bottle and left quickly.

She walked quickly, fearing that those thoughtful eunuchs would notice something strange, so she didn't even notice a slender figure standing in the corner.

Gu Le covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound, her whole body trembling because of the scene she saw just now, she hurried back to the apse after seeing Gui Zhi walking away.

Half a cup of tea time ago, Gu Le had just come out of the back hall, and Ning Gui often drank until the honey had just run out. She had a habit of drinking a bowl of honey water after waking up at noon every day, and keeping the branches behind. Temple, Gu Le went to the small kitchen to ask for honey.

Before she came, how could she have imagined that she would encounter this terrible scene.

Because of this, she didn't dare to stay in the small kitchen for a long time, and returned to the apse as if fleeing.

As soon as he entered the back hall, he accidentally bumped into Lian Zhi who had just opened the curtain and came out. With a shake of Lian Zhi's hand, the teacup on the tea tray fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Lian Zhi was so frightened that his face turned pale, he quickly lowered his body to pick up the fragments, and tremblingly said: "Hey, why is this broken?"

"What did you fall?" Ning Guiren's calm voice came from the inner room.

Gu Le squatted down hurriedly, followed by cleaning up the pieces of the teacup, and then went into the house with Lian Zhi.

In the inner room, Ning Guiren half sat up, her eyes were slightly closed, her face was not very good-looking because she was awakened from sleep, she glanced at the tea tray in Lian Zhi's hand, and there was a bit of anger in her eyes, The dropped teacups are not from the other side, but they are Ning Guiren's favorite set of teacups, there are 10 pieces in total, it is a perfect good intention to get it, but it is a bit bad to drop one.

"Why did you drop this teacup?!" Ning Guiren sat up with a very ugly expression on his face.

"It's my servant's fault. I didn't pay attention when I was walking just now, and accidentally bumped into Sister Lianzhi." Gu Le quickly knelt down and kowtowed with a pale face.

Although Mrs. Ning Gui was annoyed, she was not really angry. After all, Gu Le and Lian Zhi were very careful and responsible in their daily affairs, and they were also considered loyal. , she waved her hand and said: "Okay, since it was careless, it's fine, get up."

"Yes, thank you nobleman." Gu Le stood up, but his face was obviously still not very good-looking.

Ning Gui is a careful person. She was angry just now and didn't pay attention to Gu Le's expression. Now that the anger has subsided, she feels that something is wrong with Gu Le. She asked calmly: "Gu Le, you have always done things very safely. , What's the matter today, you are so reckless that you walk inattentively?"

Gu Le was a little hesitant, but she didn't dare to hide the matter from Ning Guiren who had just forgiven her, and told everything she saw in the small kitchen.

Ning Guiren was startled, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated and wonderful in an instant, he didn't know whether it was joy or anger.

She was just trying to find out what was going on with Gu Le, but she didn't expect to catch such a big fish, it was really beyond her expectations.

"Have you been discovered by Guizhi?" Ning Guiren hurriedly asked after being stunned.

"No!" Gu Le shook her head like a rattle, "The servant was afraid of being discovered by her, and came back in a hurry after she left for a while, and didn't even dare to take honey."

"You did the right thing." Ning Guiren nodded, she didn't feel sleepy at all right now, she stood up, held hands and paced back and forth in the room, her mind was in a mess.

In the front hall, Gu Qianqian slightly opened her eyes and called softly, "Dujuan."

With her awakening, Changchun Palace also became lively.

Some of the court ladies helped her dress, and some combed her messy hair. They were busy and orderly, and a cup of Taiping Monkey Cup was delivered to her hand. The faint bitterness awakened the taste buds, and Gu Qianqian also had With some energy, he said to Zhao Sanqi: "Go to the small kitchen to see if the jujube yam cake is ready?"

"Yes." Zhao Sanqi took the order and left.

Gui Zhi standing next to him heard this, pursed his lips subconsciously, clenched his trouser legs on the side of his face with his palms, lowered his head, his heart was beating rapidly, as if it would jump out of his throat in the next moment .
