At the beginning of the day, Chi Su was talking to Qin Meijun at the east corner gate of Tong'an Palace.
"Don't be too sentimental. No one can decide the matter of life and death." Chi Su comforted the red-eyed Qin Meijun, "Your mother must be relieved to know that you are here with the Dowager Empress."
Qin Meijun's mother passed away in exile in Jiangzhou, and it took three or four months for the news to come in.
Chi Su heard about it and stopped by to comfort her.
On the one hand, the two people had been in contact before entering the palace, and on the other hand, they now feel sympathy for each other.
"I know. I cried in the quilt all night last night. When I got up early, Aunt Ningcui specifically asked me not to go to the concubine's room for these two days, which is considered to be considerate of me."
"That's good, the concubine is kind-hearted, and the people in this palace are also kind." Chi Su patted her hand, "You are a contented person, so you are the most suitable here."
"Don't be too scared. You only think about mother and daughter. She gave birth to me and I couldn't fulfill my filial piety at all..." Qin Meijun choked up again when she said this.
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but you have to think about it now. It's not that you can't fulfill your filial piety, it's just that you can't help yourself." Chi Su also thought of his parents, "We are all the same. "
"It's all my fault for making you sad." Qin Meijun was very apologetic, "Thank you for still thinking of me."
"Don't say such things to outsiders. Take good care of yourself. No one can predict what will happen in the future, but you have to live well." Chi Su smiled, "I came to give something to the concubine on the advice of our empress. , then I’ll go in first.”
"Go quickly! I've delayed you for a long time. Come and sit in my room when you're not busy." Qin Meijun said hurriedly, "I'm not very familiar with Miss Xue, but she's close to you. If she's willing, she can I can come with you."
"That girl is very lonely, so you don't need to pay attention to her." Chi Su said, "But she's not bad-hearted, she's just used to being cold."
Chi Su delivered the things, and Concubine Rong sent someone out to get a jar of white tea: "Concubine Concubine Tai asked Concubine Fu to take this. Please take it back, girl."
Chi Su knew that Concubine Fu also liked drinking white tea, so she thanked her and left.
When walking back, I met the Sixth Prince hurriedly passing by with his entourage.
Chi Su stepped aside, lowered his head, and whispered greetings.
The Sixth Prince had already walked over, but suddenly he stopped again, took a few steps back, raised his head and looked carefully, and said with a smile: "So it's you!"
Chi Su had no choice but to raise her voice and greet her again.
"I know that you are a maid in Concubine Fu's palace, and I also know that you are Chi Zhengkang's daughter.
Your Chi family is proficient in riding and shooting, regardless of gender. I have seen your eldest brother's ability to hide in a horse's belly. I wonder if you can do it? "The sixth prince seemed to want to drag Chi Su to the racecourse immediately.
"My slave doesn't know how to do it," Chi Su refused. "It takes ten years of practice to hide under a horse's belly. My slave can only ride a horse, and it doesn't count as having any riding skills."
"I know you are deliberately being modest. Last time you only wandered around the racecourse twice, I could see that you were not just an ordinary person." The sixth prince was naive. He didn't even think as much as Chi Su thought. " Otherwise, you and I can race each other for two laps."
Chi Sujian couldn't get rid of it for a while, and he couldn't speak too forcefully. After all, there was a difference between superiority and inferiority, so he had no choice but to say: "Thank you for your appreciation, Sixth Prince, but I have something to do today, so I won't accompany you for now."
As she was about to leave, the Sixth Prince pulled her from behind in desperation.
The tea can in Chi Su's hand fell to the ground and broke.
"Oh, I was really careless." The Sixth Prince didn't expect it, "It's already broken anyway, so throw it away."
Chi Su felt bitter in her heart: "Sixth Prince, you are really rich and powerful. The concubine asked the slave to take this thing back to our empress. I broke it in the middle and can't deliver it."
"That's right, this thing isn't worth much." The Sixth Prince smiled, "I can get you several cans later. But you have to promise me one thing, otherwise I'll walk away."
Chi Su could only sigh in his heart, wondering why this sixth prince was like a little kid who wouldn't grow up.
But there was no way, she had to do the work.
He happened to see the Sixth Prince's entourage carrying a bow and arrow on his back, so he said, "I can't go to the horse farm, but if the Sixth Prince insists on me showing my skills, I wonder if archery will be possible?"
"Sure, why not?" said the Sixth Prince, "I just don't know if you can draw this bow. Why don't you ask someone to get you a small bow?"
"Don't bother, this bow will do. Although I'm not satisfied with it, please just make sure it's accurate." Chi Su said and took the bow and arrow from the attendant.
A piece of mouse skin hung on the top of a sugar maple tree two feet away, as if it had been drying for some time.
It seems that the owl caught the mouse, ate the internal organs and meat, and left the fur there.
"Slave, let's see if we can shoot down that rat skin." Chi Su said, already lining up her bow and shooting an arrow. The moment she raised the bow and arrow, her whole person became brave and heroic, especially vivid.
"Little girl, can you make it? It's not that easy." said the sixth prince's entourage.
Firstly, it's not close, and secondly, it's on the treetops.
What's more, it's windy at the moment, and the treetops are swaying constantly.
Chi Su didn't say anything at all, he just took aim and shot the arrow. There was a whooshing sound, and the rat skin fell down.
"Excellent archery skills!" The Sixth Prince couldn't help but clapped his hands, "You are really a woman, if you lead troops in war, you can also be a female general!"
Chi Su put down his bow and arrow, and at the same time put away the previous light, and said in a panic: "Sixth Prince, I'm sorry. I don't have that much ability, I'm just doing the same thing."
"You must know that there has been a female general in your family." The sixth prince said, "During the reign of Emperor Jiaying, the one who Ping Xifan was named princess."
How could Chi Su not know? In terms of seniority, she should be her sister-in-law.
However, she still wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she did not accept what the Sixth Prince said, and just said: "Your Highness, it's time for you to fulfill your promise to your slave, right? Please pay me a can of tea, I have to go back to pay for it!"
"Okay, okay, I'll pay you, I'll pay you," the Sixth Prince said over and over again, "Bring me the two jars that the Dowager Empress gave me."
"One jar is enough." Chi Su said, "It will be difficult to deal with too many slaves."
When she took the tea and returned to Furong Palace, Xue Hengzhao asked her, "Why have you been here for so long?"
Because there were others present, Chi Su couldn't say much. He only said: "I saw Qin Meijun, comforted her for a few words, and then delayed."
Everyone also paid attention, so it passed.
