Zhuo Qihua

When Zhuo Ji returned to Jinse Palace, he washed up and went to bed without taking a good look at the whole picture of Jinse Palace.The leisurely life was suddenly broken, and being held by the emperor to do coolies for an afternoon and a night, Zhuo Ji was really tired.Xiaohui and Chang Jing waited for their master to go to bed and rested. Seeing that the master fell asleep soon, the worries in their hearts turned into a little bit of joy.Master can get a good night's sleep is better than anything else.

Deju personally handled Zhuo Ji's entry into Jinse Palace.The Limaidang sent all the palace servants over, some were in charge of sweeping, some were in charge of cooking and decocting medicine, some were in charge of night watch, and some were in charge of delivering messages. There were eight people in total.When Zhang Xian sends over the Caizhang Palace people, the number will increase.Xiaohui and Chang Jing naturally became the first-class court ladies and first-class eunuchs around the Zhuoya people. From now on, ordinary eunuchs and court ladies would call Chang Jing "father-in-law" when they saw Chang Jing.The inside and outside of Jinse Palace were also well arranged.Across the palace road from Jinse Palace is Huayang Palace. These two palaces are the two palaces closest to Fengtian Palace in the eight palaces of servants, and the owner of Huayang Palace is Jiaguixie.

Xiaohui asked Chang Jing to rest, and she came to watch the night.Although there are maids and eunuchs in charge of night watch among the newly added palace people, Xiaohui is worried about letting these newcomers who don't know their backgrounds stay by the master's side.Zhuo Ji slept deeply, and Xiao Hui took a nap on the small couch outside.The gate of Jinse Palace was closed tightly, and the palace was quiet, but under the superficial calm, it was boiling like boiling water.

Lin Yi was called by Emperor Yong'an to be a coolie.Copy the contents of water conservancy projects and drainage and irrigation facilities sorted out by Zhuo Ji.Zhuo Ji also drew a lot of pictures to accompany the description, especially the drainage and irrigation facilities, and marked the size.These figures, too, had to be redrawn.Zhuo Ji wrote with a quill and drew with a pencil, and Emperor Yong'an was not going to show these things for the time being.If you want to send it to the Ministry of Industry, you must use a brush to make a new copy.Zhang Xian was illiterate, and only Lin Yi, who knew part of the inside story, did it.Edward Lam was amazed while copying.Emperor Yong'an didn't rest either, and carefully read over and over again the ones that Edward Lam was not copying.

"Zhuo Ji, Zhuo Ji, your name is so good, it really makes people anxious!"

"What's the rush? Take your time."

"Hehe, take your time, right? So slow that you won't be able to have children in your [-]s and [-]s, are you still in a hurry? My wife is about to give birth to a second child, where is your wife! We agreed that our son will also Let's be brothers!"

"A man has 41 flowers, I'm only 24, and I can spend another ten or eight years."

"Hehe, can you be more shameless, you are three years old! Why don't you say you are underage!"

"Actually, that's what I wanted to say."

"piss off!"

"Zhuo Ji! Zhuo Ji, you come with us! Let's go together!"

"Fatty, take me, none of us can leave! I'm already injured, I hold them back, you guys go!"

"No! Let's go fucking together! When we arrive at the Harbin base, with your information, the old man will soon be able to develop a vaccine, and you won't become a zombie! Come together! Come with us!"

"Fatty fatty! Listen to me, I can't hold on to the Harbin city base anymore. I am a person with brain powers. Once I become a zombie, everyone will be finished. You go away! Promise me, you must hand over these materials to me!" Give it to my old man. Tell him for me that my son is not filial. In the next life, I will marry several daughters-in-law for him and give him dozens of grandchildren. In the next life, I will still be your brother! Go away!"

"No! Let's go together!"

"I hate you! Go away! If you lose the information, I will not let you go even if I am a zombie!"

"Excellent trace!"

"Go away!"

Countless bloody mouths exuding a stench came towards him, and his body was instantly torn into countless pieces.

"what--!"

Xiaohui, who was awakened by the screams, quickly rushed into the bedroom, and skillfully threw herself on the bed to hug the person who was panting violently with a pale face. "Master, master, it's okay, it's okay, you're just a nightmare, master, master..."

Xiaohui stroked her master's back over and over again, and gently whispered comforting words in his ear.The person in the nightmare was gasping for breath, sweating all over his head, trembling all over, and his face was as pale as a ghost.

"Master, it's okay, it's okay, you're just a nightmare, it's okay..."

Zhuo Ji was still breathing heavily as his head rested weakly on Xiaohui's shoulder.Xiaohui's gentle fingers shuttled and comforted his sweaty hair, Zhuo Ji closed his eyes.

"Master, it's all right..."

"Um……"

Xiaohui didn't say any more, but skillfully massaged the master's scalp, so that the master could recover from the nightmare as soon as possible.Outside the door, someone called softly: "Xiaohui, master is awake?"

Xiaohui amplified her voice slightly: "Come in."

Chang Jing came in from the outside with a cup of hot water in his hand: "I heard the master woke up and poured a cup of hot water for the master. Master, please drink some water."

"Okay, I'm really thirsty."

Xiaohui took the water and fed it to her master.The three of them, master and servant, have supported and taken care of each other in the West Third Courtyard for three years, and there is no need to say "thank you" politely.After drinking the water, Zhuo Ji lay down with the help of Xiao Hui and Chang Jing.Xiaohui asked familiarly: "Master, is your body hurting again?"

"A bit."

"The servant will rub it for you."

"it is good."

Xiaohui massaged her master's body.After the master has a nightmare, sometimes his whole body hurts.Xiaohui has also learned a little bit of medical skills by the master's side. After three years, she also knows that the master's problem is not actually a disease, but a kind of psychological pain.As long as the master dreams that his body hurts in his dream, he will feel pain when he wakes up.

Xiaohui massaged for a while, Zhuo Ji said: "Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, you go to sleep."

Xiaohui covered her master with a quilt, and she and Chang Jing left the bedroom.Xiaohui closed the bedroom door, and Chang Jing whispered, "Master, haven't you had any nightmares for a long time?"

Xiaohui nodded worriedly, and said, "It must be something happened when the master met the Holy One."

Chang Jing said: "I won't sleep anymore, I will stay with you."

Xiaohui: "Go to sleep, you still have a lot of things to do at dawn."

Now it's not in the West Third Courtyard, the three of them, the master and the servant, can do whatever they want.Now in Jinse Palace, there are so many people, the master can take a nap, but they can't.After thinking about it, Chang Jing stopped arguing and went back to rest, while Xiaohui went back to the couch and continued to watch the night.

Zhuo Ji on the bed had his eyes open, his fingers lightly scratching the silk curtain next to the wall.It has been a long time since he dreamed of the scene before his death.It must be that the emperor mentioned five horses torn corpses today, which gave him a nightmare.Unexpectedly, a majestic emperor would do such a shameless thing as hiding in the dark and eavesdropping on people's conversations.That guy's hearing is quite sensitive, he didn't find anyone eavesdropping, that guy must be some distance away from him, he can hear their words clearly, don't worry about getting deaf when he's old.

This time, his desire to live in the West Third Courtyard and wait for his death for the rest of his life was completely shattered this time.Who would have thought that Emperor Yong'an would stay up late at night and go to the West Third Courtyard for a walk, or go to the cold palace to catch ghosts?Zhuo Ji chuckled twice.

Zhuo Ji couldn't sleep well at night, and this nightmare made him even less sleepy.In the second half of the night, he tossed and turned in bed, letting himself think about something happy.As soon as the head is quiet, there are big mouths full of stinky blood.It wasn't until dawn that Zhuo Ji felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

Xiaohui closed the door gently, and gave Chang Jing a gesture to go out and say something.The two quietly left the master's bedroom like thieves.After closing the outermost door, Xiaohui said, "Master has finally fallen asleep."

Chang Jing said: "The master has fallen asleep, you should go and rest for a while, I am outside. I am afraid that the master can sleep for at least an hour or two. I will watch so that no one will disturb the master."

"it is good."

Xiaohui covered her mouth and yawned, and went to the next room to rest.Chang Jing walked out, and an eunuch stepped forward: "Eunuch Chang, the noble lords of Huayang Palace, Yuxian Palace, Yunyue Palace, Yanxin Palace, Bixiu Palace, and Lianyi Palace sent someone to send someone to Master Zhuo. The congratulatory gifts came, and the noble lords of the side palaces in the palace also sent people."

Chang Jing nodded, and said: "I'll go out and have a look, you tell me to go down, the master is resting, no one is allowed to approach the master's bedroom, don't blame me for being rude if you don't understand the rules."

"Yes, Eunuch Chang, I will give you my orders now."

Chang Jing went out to entertain guests.All the noble lords in the palace have sent personal palace servants to give gifts, whether it is to build relationships or to test them, the purpose is not pure in the end.

■

Ruyi came back from Jinse Palace in high spirits.Concubine Xi Gui, who was sitting on the couch, saw the appearance of the palace maid next to her, and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't the gift go out?"

Ruyi: "What, master. The one in Jinse Palace is too arrogant. The servants went to give gifts, but no one saw them."

"I didn't see anyone?"

Ruyi said angrily: "My personal eunuch said that my master didn't sleep well at night, and now I'm trying to catch up on sleep, so it's inconvenient to see guests."

Concubine Xi's face turned cold, and Ruyi said: "Let's not talk about our Yuxian Palace, the Huayang Palace has gone and no one has been seen. This is just an elegant person, so arrogant, this will become a sly, I'm afraid it won't happen." I'm going to sit on the head of your master!"

Concubine Xi was furious: "This is too arrogant!"

"That's not enough. The servant girl heard that His Majesty even exempted him from paying his respects to the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Jiagui every day."

"what?!"

Ruyi nodded repeatedly and said: "The servant girl secretly asked the little maid in Jinse Palace, and the other party said that she heard with her own ears that when Director Zhang sent Zhuoya back to Jinse Palace last night, she said that she should let Zhuoya have a good rest, and said that His Majesty spared him Greetings to the Empress Dowager and your concubine, there is no need to get up early or anything."

"Your Majesty, how could you do that!" Concubine Xi covered her chest, and Ruyi hurried over to support her: "Master! What's wrong with you!"

Concubine Xi: "Has your majesty been confused by Cheng's anger? It's all right for your majesty to dote on your maid, but this is too partial. This makes other concubines in the palace so chilling, can't your majesty think that you will be favored in the future?" The people in the palace follow suit, so there are no rules in the palace!"

Ruyi comforted: "Master, Your Majesty must have been fascinated for a while. After a long time, the Queen Mother will definitely show up. Even if Your Majesty pampers him again, the Queen Mother will not sit idly by. It's going to be a mess."

Concubine Xi was so angry that she shed tears: "I thought that His Majesty was enough to spoil the one in Huayang Palace, but I didn't expect that His Majesty could still dote on him so much. I can't even compete with the one in Huayang Palace, so what Compete with this person?" Concubine Xi closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, "How can someone like His Majesty be fascinated for a while? It must be because of that person's extraordinary qualities that His Majesty is willing to make exceptions for him time and time again."

Ruyi immediately said: "Master, you are worrying too much. The servant girl inquired, Zhuo Ji didn't look very good, far worse than Yan Xuan's appearance. Moreover, the servant girl also found out that he seemed to be in poor health, looking sick Even if you pick out a random maid in Danyang Palace, she looks better than him."

Concubine Xi bit her lip, if this is the case, it means that there is something extraordinary about that person.The face is easy to fade, if that person's talent allows His Majesty to completely ignore his appearance and is willing to pamper him like this, it will be the most dangerous for them.

In Huayang Palace, Jia Guixie also had a depressed look on his face.After Changan came back from Jinse Palace, he told the whole story.Chang'an worriedly said: "My lord, Your Majesty treats this Zhuoya person really differently. Not only did he spare him from greeting the Queen Mother and you every day, but he also made an exception and granted the cavalry. The addition of cavalry to the position of the lord of this palace is almost as short as Make him a slave."

Jia Guixie took a deep breath and said, "None of the people who went there saw him?"

"No. Said to be resting."

Jia Guixie: "Ms. Cheng is dead, but someone who is more powerful than Mrs. Cheng has come. There is no empress in charge of the harem, and this palace punishes him with this. , whoever comes, will not be seen."

"master?"

Jia Guixie sneered: "If this palace recovers from illness at this time, it will be inferior. If he doesn't come to pay my respects to this palace, is it possible that this palace will go to visit him in person? If His Majesty spoils him again, this Danyang Palace will not be happy." He is not the only maid. Let me see how much His Majesty can pamper him."

Chang'an was puzzled: "Since Your Majesty has even given the battle, why didn't you just give him the title of 伃?"

Jia Guixie: "This is His Majesty's favor for him. I'm afraid that when he is really conferred the title of 伃, he will receive the palace share of 傛."

"No way! Isn't Your Majesty afraid of the empress dowager's displeasure by doing this?"

Jia Guixie frowned: "I'm afraid, the queen mother can't control it..." Isn't Cheng's right there.If the Empress Dowager can control the whole of the Danyang Palace, how can the Cheng family be able to be arrogant for ten years.

People in Matata eat two meals a day, and the palace is no exception. After the two meals, if you are hungry, you just eat some snacks or something.However, such rules also do not exist in Jinse Palace.It was already noon when Zhuo Ji woke up, according to the rules, at this time, even if the lords of the palaces have a small stove, they can start a business by themselves, and they can't cook during non-meal time, they can only eat snacks.But when Zhuo Ji came together, Xiaohui asked: "Master, are you hungry? Lishantang sent vegetables, fruits and some meat over at noon, saying that master, you can start a small stove in Jinse Palace, or you can order Lishan The hall arranges the meals. The slaves told Uncle Wang that all the royalties of Jinse Palace will be sent directly from now on, and the slaves will do it themselves."

"Just cook a bowl of noodles. Have you all eaten?"

"Eat. Your Majesty gave the master an imperial chef, and he is already waiting in the small kitchen. Master, you can tell the imperial chef to cook whenever you want to eat, and you don't have to worry about the rules in the palace."

How generous.

Zhuo Ji: "Let's make something a little lighter. You and Chang Jing should ask Manager Zhang more about the rules in the palace. There are some things that you don't have to worry about, and some things that you can't give in to."

"Your servant knows, master don't worry."

Zhuo Ji woke up a lot after washing, he left the dormitory and went to the East Pavilion which is equivalent to the living room.Xiaohui went to prepare his lunch, and Chang Jing walked in: "Master, when you were resting, the lords of the various palaces sent people to send a lot of congratulatory gifts. This is the gift list, please have a look at it, master."

Chang Jing and Xiaohui stayed with Zhuo Ji for three years and learned to read and write.In a different environment, both Xiaohui and Chang Jing can read and write, which saves Zhuo Ji a lot of trouble.

Zhuo Ji looked over one by one, he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly became sharp for a moment.Chang Jing was shocked, and saw the master made a silent gesture to him.

Zhuo Ji stood up quietly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You remember so many things very clearly."

"This is what a servant girl should do, and it's also what you taught me well, master."

Chang Jing followed behind his master, walking out silently.Zhuo Ji handed over the gift list to Chang Jing, walked quietly to the door, held the door with both hands, and pulled it open.

"what!"

An eunuch fell to the ground screaming, together with the tray and teacup in his hand.Zhuo Ji didn't even look at who was eavesdropping outside, and stomped hard on it.

"Ah! Master, spare your life! Master, spare your life!"

"Chang Jing, eavesdropping on the master's words, how should I deal with it according to the palace rules?"

Chang Jing: "Thirty boards will be played, and they will be dispatched to Yeting."

"give it to you."

"Master, spare your life! The servants are just here to bring tea to the master! Master, spare your life! Master, please spare your life!"

Zhuo Ji turned around and walked in, turning a deaf ear to the eunuch's begging for mercy.Chang Jing called someone to drag that person out, and in the front yard of Jinse Palace, in front of all the palace servants who had just been assigned to Jinse Palace, beat the eunuch who eavesdropped with a cane.
