I'm the substitute and I'm with the real master

The team paused to rest, and the palace people prepared water and meals.Xueya didn't need to prepare meals, but when she saw a stream nearby, she was going to wash her hands and face.He walked to the stream with the hem of his skirt, squatted down, picked up water and splashed it lightly on his face, then took out the handkerchief in his sleeve, wiped his face again after wetting it.

After washing her hands and face, Xue Ya thought that she would have to ride in a carriage for the next afternoon and would not be able to rest at the post station until late at night, so she wanted to wash her feet too.

He straightened up slightly, took off his shoes and socks, and stepped into the stream.The water was ice-cold, and there were pebbles under his feet. Xue Ya thought it was interesting and stepped on it for a while, but when he turned around, he suddenly met a pair of eyes.

Xue Ya was taken aback, and she recognized who that person was slowly——

Yi Ye sealed.

During this trip, Yi Yefeng, the general, was responsible for the safety of the masters, and General Lei, who had just returned from meritorious service, stayed in Shangjing to guard.

Yi Yefeng was also squatting by the stream, and there were bushes next to him, covering most of his body, so Xueya didn't notice him when he came over.Compared with Xue Ya's position, Yi Yefeng is a little further downstream.At this moment, he was staring at Xueya, holding a fruit he had just bitten into in his hand.

Xue Ya saw the fruit in Yi Yefeng's hand, and looked at her feet that were still in the water. She ran ashore quickly and found Yi Yefeng walking towards him. She hurriedly put on her shoes and socks, and said as she put them on: "I didn't know you washed the fruit down there, I didn't mean to."

At this time, Yi Yefeng came to him. When Xue Ya saw Yi Yefeng at the small palace banquet that time, the other party was sitting, and he chased after him, and the other party was also a little away from him.Today when Yi Yefeng walked beside him, he realized that the opponent was extremely high, and he seemed to only reach the chest position of the opponent.

The huge height difference made Xue Ya squat down and hug her head immediately. If Yi Yefeng punched him, he would probably die, "I really didn't mean it, you...don't hit me!"

Xue Ya shrank into a quail, shivering, but he waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the imaginary punch. He raised his head cautiously and found that there was no one beside him.Hearing the sound of water, he looked back quickly and found that Yi Yefeng had walked up to him and washed the fruit in his hand again.

After Yi Yefeng washed the fruits, he got up and left without even looking at Xueya.After being stunned for a moment, Xue Ya went to wash the handkerchief again. He wet the handkerchief and wiped the feet that had just stepped on the ground before putting on the shoes and socks.

The soiled handkerchief, Xue Ya left it in place.

Back beside He Xulan's carriage, Xue Ya saw many people carrying ingredients to the stream, and realized that the team stopped here because of the stream.Although the ingredients for the masters were washed with clean water from the palace, there were also ministers, imperial guards and palace people who accompanied them, and their ingredients had to be washed with stream water.

No wonder Yi Yefeng washed the fruit there.

Xue Ya pursed her lips, thinking that he couldn't be blamed for this, but he didn't know.

Thinking that she couldn't blame herself, Xue Ya also stood outside the carriage with some shame, fearing that she would run into Yi Yefeng again, so she went to the window of the carriage, "Queen Mother, can the servant come up?"

He Xulan's voice came from the carriage, "Come on."

Xue Ya got into the carriage and found that He Xulan was cleaning her hands.

He Xulan put the washed towel into the basin, and asked in a calm tone, "Where did you go?"

"The servant just walked around." Because there were other palace people in the carriage, Xue Ya's tone was respectful.

He Xulan glanced at Xue Ya, "Don't wander around after dinner."

Soon, the meal was presented, Xue Ya thought it would be the same as in the palace, he could eat with He Xulan, who knew that he was just watching He Xulan eat.Xue Ya was always hungry, but seeing other people eating, she got hungry even faster. He rubbed his stomach and stared eagerly at the jade chopsticks in He Xulan's hand. When he saw the jade chopsticks pick up a piece of braised beef, he opened his mouth involuntarily.

But the stewed beef was still in He Xulan's mouth.

Xue Ya closed her mouth and licked her lips unconsciously. When she saw that the plate of beef was almost finished, she couldn't help but approached He Xulan, "Brother, I want to eat it too."

Afraid of being heard by people outside the carriage, he kept his voice very low.

He Xulan glanced at Xue Ya, picked up a piece of braised beef and brought it to his lips.Xue Ya immediately opened his mouth to bite, and finished eating in two bites. After eating, he said: "Brother, I still want it."

Fearing that the other party would disagree, he leaned against He Xulan's right hand, pretending to be dependent on the other party.

He Xulan changed the jade chopsticks to his left hand and continued to pick up a piece of stewed beef, but this piece of stewed beef did not enter Xue Ya's mouth, but was eaten by himself.

Xue Ya's eyes widened a bit, and then her eyes became extremely wronged. He let go of He Xulan, sat back in his original seat, and muttered, "I don't want to sit here anymore, I want to get off the bus."

"The palace is the last meal, you still have to wait." He Xulan said calmly.

Xue Ya frowned upon hearing this.

The palace man is the last to eat, so how long will he have to wait?Those ministers haven't eaten yet, have they?There are also the family members of the ministers, as well as the huge imperial forest army.

He recalled the fear of having the last meal in Fengrui Palace, and immediately decided to take He Xulan's food, so he sat next to He Xulan cheekily and smiled sweetly, "Brother, can't you finish eating?"

"Eat it all." He Xulan said, "Outside the palace is no different than inside the palace. Food is hard-won, so it cannot be wasted."

Xue Ya shook her head quickly, "That's not what I mean, I mean that if my brother can't finish eating, I can help my brother share his worries." Her eyes glanced at the braised beef with only a few pitiful slices.

He Xulan didn't answer this question, Yuzhu continued to pick up the stewed beef, Xue Ya watched He Xulan finished eating this piece, then picked it up again, couldn't help biting her lip, her eyes were pitiful and aggrieved.

But Xueya didn't expect a new piece of stewed beef to reach his lips. He almost didn't think about it, so he opened his mouth and bit it.Because it didn't come easily, he ate a little slower this time.

"Where did you go to play just now?"

While eating, Xue Ya heard He Xulan ask the exact same question as before.

Xue Ya raised her eyes to look at He Xulan, seeing the other person's eyes looking at her, she paused for a moment, finished eating the braised beef in her mouth, and then said: "I went to the stream to wash my hands and face, and..."

He Xulan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xue Ya could only bite the bullet and confess that she had done something wrong, "I washed my feet with stream water, I didn't know which water they used to wash the ingredients."

He Xulan's expression didn't change when he heard that, she just took the clean towel that had been kept by the side and wiped the jade chopsticks before handing it to Xueya.

Xueya looked at Yuzhu, then at He Xulan, and smiled again, "Thank you brother."

He took the jade chopsticks and began to eat.

Xueya eats very quickly, which has something to do with how hungry she was when she was a child.Because he is a young lady, if he did something wrong, the bustard usually would not punish him physically, and most of the punishments were his stomach.

Hungry, Xue Ya is used to eating quickly, afraid that half of the food will be robbed, because he is always robbed.When he was a child, he was thin and weak, and when he was punished, he was locked up with other older children, and the food that he finally shared to barely fill his stomach was always snatched by the older children.

But because I am a young lady, I was specially taught to eat, to be graceful and not vulgar.After Xue Ya was hungry many times, she trained how to eat fast and well.

Xue Ya ate all the rest of the meal like a wind and cloud, and the palace servants who collected the bowls and chopsticks at the back were obviously startled when they saw the empty plates, and the palace servants who brought water for He Xulan to clean his mouth and hands were much smarter. After drinking water, I prepared some for Xue Ya.

Xueya recognized the palace man who brought the water, he was the apprentice brought by Eunuch Huang.

This time, Eunuch Huang did not travel with him, but stayed in the palace to take care of Ningfu Palace.

During the meal in the afternoon, Xueya found that the palace man who brought the meal turned out to be another apprentice of Eunuch Huang.When the team reached Haishi, they finally arrived at the post station.The horses and horses were exhausted, Xue Ya had been sitting in the carriage for a whole day, and felt pain in her waist, she wanted to rest after arriving at the station, but because the rooms in the station were limited, ten of them, the palace servants, had to squeeze into one room.

Some palace people can't even get a room, so they can only sleep outside the post station, looking for a carriage to transport goods for a while.

Xue Ya realized that he might not even have a bench to sleep on, so she left the assigned room.They sleep on the second floor, the third floor is the room of the ministers, the first floor is where the guards are resting, and the fourth floor is where Cui Lingjing and other masters sleep.

Xue Ya went to the fourth floor without hesitation, but unexpectedly, he saw Yi Yefeng again at the stairs on the fourth floor.

Yi Yefeng folded his arms and leaned against the pillar, even though he heard Xue Ya's movement, he didn't respond, but when Xue Ya was about to walk over, a sword suddenly blocked Xue Ya's way.

Xue Ya was almost so frightened that his legs went limp, he didn't even see the sword Yi Yefeng took out from somewhere.

"You...you..." Xue Ya stammered, unable to even complete the sentence.

"What are you doing here?" Yi Yefeng said in a deep voice, his voice seemed to be hoarse.

Xue Ya tried to calm down, "I'm here to watch the night for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother needs to get up to drink water at night."

Yi Yefeng stared at Xue Ya for a while, then slowly retracted the sword in his hand.Seeing this, Xue Ya hurried forward. He actually came up to see if there was a chance to sneak into Cui Lingjing's room, but he didn't know that he would run into Yi Yefeng, so he could only stop at the door of He Xulan's room.

He Xulan was guarding a little eunuch at the gate, and was a little surprised when he saw Xueya coming over, "You are not on guard tonight, why are you here?"

"You walk during the day and keep vigil at night. It's too hard. Go downstairs and rest. I'll keep watch for you." Xue Ya said with a smile.

The little eunuch looked at the door, then looked at Xue Ya, and smiled, "Thank you very much."

After the little eunuch left, Xue Ya glanced at Yi Yefeng, and found that the other party was actually looking at him, as if monitoring him.Xue Ya thought that Yi Yefeng had scared him twice today, rolled her eyes, deliberately pushed open the door of He Xulan's room in front of the other party, walked in slowly, and then slowly closed the door.

Let Yi Yefeng like He Xulan, hum, it's useless to like him, He Xulan likes him.

As soon as the door was closed, Xue Ya heard a voice from behind.

"Who?" It was He Xulan's voice.

The candles in the room have been extinguished.

Xue Ya turned around. After making Yi Yefeng angry on purpose, he was afraid that the other party would suddenly rush in and chop him, so he locked the door with his backhand. The Queen Mother warms the quilt."
