Be Modest, My Master of Imperial Guards

?Chu Xiu Palace——

When Gu Yunxi returned from holding the umbrella, he was hitting Lan Xin's surprised face. +++All Tanmei novels: www.sto123.cc网o

"You're back?"

She watched straightly at the friend who raised the umbrella under the corridor and leaned it against the corner of the wall.

On the smooth oily paper surface, the water droplets rolled down to the ground, converging into a slender waterline that stretched under the steps.

"Hey, where did the umbrella come from?

Lan Xin asked.

Gu Yunxi lowered his eyes, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he froze in his mouth:

"Well, I met a sister who was in the palace at the Gongyuan on the road, she gave it away."

Before he had finished speaking, he flashed into the room, hid by the bed, took off his soaked shoes and socks, and changed his clean palace clothes.

Frowning at the umbrella in the corner, Lan Xin was puzzled.

She knew that the umbrellas used by ordinary palace people were of a uniform standard, with orchids and bamboo as the bone, and white paper umbrellas coated with tung oil.

The umbrella that Gu Yunxi brought back was not only a normal white umbrella No. 1, in appearance, but the closed umbrella surface and the umbrella rim were covered with speckled German blue patterns, which must be delicate when opened. Pattern.

The most conspicuous place is the umbrella head and handle, which are actually different from the carved red agate.

What an amazing person Mu Xue met in Gongyuan to use such a superb thing?

This thought only passed through Lan Xin's mind. She didn't ask much, scratched her scalp and went to work.

But soon, Lan Xin discovered that her friend was really not normal.

All night after she was off duty, she had been sitting quietly on the side of the bed without moving, rubbing the gorgeous umbrella in her arms with a clean silk kerchief repeatedly. The expressions on her face were ever-changing, sometimes contemplative, sometimes Happiness and sweet smile, sometimes dull and sad.

Lan Xin looked aside, inevitably worrying about her friend.

My friend’s state of being immersed in his own world clearly means having a good relationship!

That big baby umbrella that she was holding and reluctant to let go was definitely given by her.

But she said that the umbrella came from a sister she knew in Gongyuan.

Oops, my friends, could it be that they couldn't bear to be lonely, and the ladies of the palace considered them "grinding mirrors", right?

Lan Xin was scared into a cold sweat by her own guesswork, and couldn't help feeling anxious. Net o

Men and men are unbelievable, so what is this woman?

Lan Xin made a secret decision:

No, I have to help my friends, and I can't just watch her go astray because of her loneliness and seek same-sex comfort.

Tomorrow, I'm going to see Big Brother Fan and ask him to find a good-looking and fairly old guard in the imperial army, so he has time to introduce him to Mu Xue.

...

The morning light in the spacious and gorgeous palace garden is another day.

For Gu Yunxi, work in the small kitchen is getting better.

Nowadays, she is in charge of Level 5, and she only needs to move her mouth more and less hands.

And because Concubine Xu prefers, she is granted the right to enter and leave the main hall at will, so she frequents the main hall and the kitchen, so that Gu Yunxi's physical exertion is not less than when she was a servant in the 7th-Rank Palace.

At the end of summer and early autumn, the air is less humid and heavy, making people feel more refreshed.

The masters of the harem are more willing to walk out of their own palaces, walk around the garden, or visit each other.

Before lunch, several hosts came to Chuxiu Palace as a guest.

Gu Yunxi didn't dare to delay in the small kitchen. Gu Yunxi personally went into battle with all the cooks under him, baking a few unique pastries in the shortest time, and serving them into the main hall together with honey drinks.

Soon, Yan Gui was asked to bring the words out and told Gu Yunxi to come in and wait.

Gu Yunxi hurriedly combed his clothes under the corridor and followed Yan Gui into the hall.

The hall was full of excitement. Several concubines gathered around the pear flower table, sipping tea and talking and laughing, while the copper stove next to them was scented with spices.

On the way, Gu Yunxi slid his hands together, slightly raised his eyes and saw the masters at the table.

Heh, besides Shu Fei, Li Meiren, Zhao Cairen and the newly promoted gentleman, Jin Jieyu... is actually there?

When Gu Yunxi walked to the table, Li Meiren was presenting a water chestnut cake to the entrance to the concubine Xu and his concubines.

Biting off the little half, her eyes flashed with joy, she praised:

"The pastries in Sister Xu's palace are really not new. The nets are all ordinary Lingfen cakes, how can you get a mouthful of milk after a bite!"

She really knows how to eat it!

Gu Yunxi’s own milk honey water chestnut paste is to chop fresh water chestnut, mix it with glutinous rice flour, sweet-scented osmanthus, and fill it with milk, honey and duck egg yolk. Compared with the traditional Lingfen paste, the taste and texture are naturally improved.

In the production process, it takes a lot of work just to fill the dough with the pulped milk filling.

Concubine Xu took a sip with a tea cup in her hand, smiling lightly:

"What can it be? It's Mu girl's original creation again. Now my palace has called her to serve, if my sister does not eat well, she will be punished by my palace."

After all, how can Xu Fei know Mu Xue's craftsmanship? It is true that she did not want to punish her by half.

Gu Yunxi smiled, knowing that Concubine Xu was praising her publicly and secretly, and very cooperatively walked behind Concubine Xu to beat her back, her voice softly and softly said:

"Even if you want to be punished, it is the slave and maid's gratitude. You give the slave a full face and ask the slave to serve in front of the masters. The slave and maid have the honor to show off on the spot."

"Ouch..."

Concubine Shu raised her eyes, looking elegantly over Gu Yunxi's body, boasting:

"Sister Xu's newly promoted hand is really personal. Not only is she ingenious, she also has a small mouth like honey, which is a bit sweeter than this cake. Well, being young is really great."

Gu Yunxi hurriedly blessed Concubine Shu:

"The concubine Shu is absurdly praised. It is the duty of the servants to serve the master, and the servants dare not take credit."

"I can talk."

Concubine Shu smiled with satisfaction, she looked down and held a peony blossom with sweet fruits, carefully supported it with a shampoo, and chewed slowly.

After Li Meiren had eaten one Lingfen cake and went to get the second one, she said:

"Sister Xu is really joking. My sister will wake up when she dreams of eating such delicious food. How can she still think this snack is not delicious?"

Just after speaking, Jin Jieyu, who was sitting next to her, quickly rolled her eyes, and her tone seemed cold:

"It's lunch time in a while. Carefully, you eat too much and you don't have enough to eat!"

Li Meiren shrugged, her small fleshy mouth was raised, her expression nonchalant:

"It's okay, it's a big deal, no more meals."

His face suddenly sank, Gu Yunjin looked sideways intentionally or unintentionally, and the blade-like gaze glanced at Li Meiren again.

Xu Fei smiled naturally and said to Li Meiren:

"If my sister likes this snack, she can bring some back to the palace when she leaves."

Li Meiren looked happy:

"I am at home with my sister, so you're welcome."

"That's great."

Concubine Xu responded with a smile and continued to chat and laugh with everyone.

Gu Yunxi stood beside Concubine Xu, with a pair of keen eyes staring at Gu Yunjin.

I saw her sitting in a chair, her whole body beautifully dressed. But she didn't talk much, her delicate face was dull and numb, as if suppressing layers of haze.

Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunjin grew up eating and sleeping together when they were young. Who is Gu Yunjin, can Gu Yunxi not know?

Thinking this has always been arrogant, likes to be outstanding, likes to be held by others, and walked there and wished to become the focus of sucking, how could he sit on the bench willingly?

It should have been her friendship with Zhao Cairen and Li Meiren's low-ranking concubines. This time they came to Chuxiu Palace to bring her along.

She just gave birth to Li Meiren's eyes with sinister and ferocious eyes, like a poisoned blade, which made people feel compelled.

As soon as the curtain was raised, the mother walked into the main hall with the little prince Hua Nanlin in her arms and bowed to the concubines.

It's time for the little prince to add a meal before eating.

Gu Yunxi ordered the maidservant to take the steamed custard and give it to the maid. With permission, the mother fed the little prince to the custard in front of Concubine Xu.

According to the internal servant, Yu Zhaoyi of Xiao Yexuan came to greet Concubine Xu.

The scene suddenly calmed down, and several eyes with various expressions gathered towards the door.

Gu Yunyao walked into the main hall with exquisite makeup and a tan colored dress. Behind him was Song Qin and two young maidservants.

When Gu Yunxi saw it, he felt his eyes brightened, and he was sincerely happy for Gu Yunyao's cheer.

Concubine Xu also looked surprised, she got up from the chair and greeted with a smile:

"How did my sister come?"

Gu Yunyao first saluted Concubine Xu and the sisters, and then ordered Songqin to present the things he brought to the attendants of Chuxiu Palace.

"The sky is clear today. My younger sister wants to come out for a walk. I always ask my sister for peace. Secondly, for the Mid-Autumn Festival next month, the harem sisters will have to do some handicrafts. My sister will give my sister some writing, ink and colored paper. I don’t want several sisters to be there. It’s also a blessing to be together."

"It's true. Come on, we'll leave you for a snack at the table."

Concubine Xu said as she pulled Gu Yunyao to the table, the maidservant from the first palace moved in a chair in due course, and Jinzhu added new chopsticks and dishes on the table.

By coincidence, Gu Yunyao's seat was opposite Gu Yunjin. When they raised their eyes, the two looked at each other silently, their expressions both indifferent.

Concubine Shu was located next to Gu Yunyao. Seeing her seated at this time, she burst into a warm smile and asked cordially:

"Seeing that my sister's complexion has improved a lot, I think she's better off?"

Gu Yunyao replied with a low eyebrow:

"Sister Lao is worried, my concubine will be raised for a year, and now my body is fine."

It was deserted for a while, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing and strange.

Except for the concubine Xu, who was teasing Lin'er with an unharmed look, the others were silent, as if they looked like they were divorced, and they were extremely thoughtful.

Everyone knows that although Yu Zhaoyi was born from a humble background, she was a woman who had been a favorite and had a lot of beauty.

That year, she fell ill and was given a green card by the courtesy room. I don't know how many harem newcomers were made.

Now she appears radiantly, with a dignified temperament and a charming appearance. It is not impossible for her to return to favor.

The women in the harem are also pitiful! Regardless of their appearance, they are living in dire straits all day long. Who wants to create a competitor out of thin air and grab a husband from himself?

Gu Yunxi could not ask her to leave without her mother’s instructions, so she stood up and nodded, and occasionally peeked at the concubines present. Every change in the expressions on their faces did not escape her peacefulness. Lan's eyes.
