"It's a bit..."
Cui Jinxi almost blurted out, but it was too late to shut up at this time. There is no three hundred taels of silver here...
The young master doesn’t care about martial ethics anymore!
Cui Jinxi said bravely, "When we first met, a few steps apart, the young master did have some similarities with Queen Chunyuan."
"But if you take a closer look, you will see that the young master and Queen Chunyuan are two completely different people."
"Especially with the servants serving you, your temperament is completely different from that of Queen Chunyuan, and they absolutely cannot be classified as the same."
Zhen Huan said, "Jin Xi, I am not favored by the emperor, and this Broken Yuxuan is no different from the cold palace. You do everything properly, but you are willing to be loyal to me, a little Chang Zai. Is it also because of Queen Chunyuan? "
When Cui Jinxi saw Zhen Huan for the first time, she knew that this day would come. Even if Zhen Huan didn't know, the emperor didn't want her to know, but he couldn't stand the fact that there were so many people in the palace who knew about it.
Sooner or later, this matter will be exposed, but Cui Jinxi did not expect it to be so early.
Cui Jinxi said, "This slave has been favored by Queen Chunyuan, but she has passed away, and the young master is my master."
"The only way to serve the master is to be loyal. The little master treats the slave very well. How dare the slave have other thoughts?"
Zhen Huan helped Cui Jinxi up and said, "I'm very happy that you think so."
"If people don't let me down, I won't let them down."

Chuxiu Palace,
Sun Miaoqing sat on the kang by the window, holding her chin with her left hand. Through the half-open window, I looked at the white snow outside and the red lanterns.
"Everyone else is watching the vaudeville show at the palace banquet, but I can only stay here and look at the snow on the ground."
Qiangwei said, "Mother, you cannot go out until you are well."
"There are so many people at the palace banquet. Didn't you find it boring there before? You'd better be comfortable in our own palace. You can do whatever you want."
Sun Miaoqing said, "I haven't even stepped out of the dormitory door for a month. Now everything I see feels fresh."
"Wan Changzai's illness has recovered, so he should be in there too, right?"
Qiangwei said, "Wan Changzai is weak. He said he had a severe headache due to the wind and cold. He is currently recuperating in Suiyuxuan and did not have the New Year's Eve palace banquet."
When Sun Miaoqing heard this, she immediately sat up straight. Zhen Huan came to visit her very angry a few days ago, and she didn't look like she was going to continue to be ill at all. Why did she suddenly change her mind?
Are you really sick, or do you have other plans...
Previously, I thought that Zhen Huan would use this New Year's Eve palace banquet to make a big splash and catch Big Fat Orange's eyes in the palm of her hand.
But since he claimed to be sick at this time, he probably gave up on the idea. Could it be that I want to have a chance encounter with Big Fat Orange, and then do this, that, and this, to cultivate some ethereal feelings...
Ancient people really knew how to play!
Sun Miaoqing asked, "Wan Changzai was ill. Who treated her? Is it still the imperial doctor Wen Shichuwen?"
Qiangwei nodded, "After Wan Chang got sick from fright, it was the disease that Dr. Wen diagnosed for her."
"The Empress asked Imperial Physician Wen to diagnose and treat her. In addition, Wan Chang Zai is not favored, and Sui Yuxuan is located in a remote location. Except for Imperial Physician Wen, no other imperial physician is willing to go there."
"Does the empress think that there is some connection between Dr. Wen and Wan Changzai? That's why she is so dedicated?"
Sun Miaoqing said, "Which concubine doesn't have an imperial doctor she knows well, and Wan Changzai is certainly no exception. This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it."
Qiangwei agreed, "I understand."
"However, Wan Changzai came to visit me several times during the days when my wife was recovering from her illness. She is suffering from the cold at the moment. Can I send you something for you?"
Sun Miaoqing said, "No, I will be able to go out in two days. Then I will go there in person. This will show my sincerity."
"By the way, there's nothing to do tonight anyway. You take people to the imperial kitchen and ask for some milk. Ask for more. It's better to have as much as a water vat."
Qiangwei was puzzled. With so much milk in the water tank, was the empress going to take a bath? But taking a bath doesn’t take that much.
"Are you going to use it to make a milk bath? Or make buttered abalone? But you can't use as much as a big vat."
Sun Miaoqing said proudly, "I'm going to make something new with milk. By the way, I'll get more maltose, at least as much as the basin."
When Qiangwei took several young eunuchs to the imperial dining room, everyone in the imperial dining room was very busy.
The dishes at the palace banquet cannot be delayed, and the dishes and Laba porridge given to the ministers must be delivered as soon as possible.
Tian Zhijing, the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen, stood at the scene, pulling his cheeks and shouting that he should cook and fry with heart. The other side yelled that the speed should be fast and the heat should be steady.
After shouting for a long time, I took some time to come out for a drink of water, but I heard someone below reported that the personal maid of Concubine Cheng of Chuxiu Palace came over to ask for milk and maltose.
Tian Zhijing said, "Since Concubine Cheng wants it, just give it to her directly. Do you still need to teach me? Father-in-law, I am so busy that I don't even have time to drink water. I have to come over and report such a trivial matter. It's such a shameless thing." "
The little eunuch looked like a bitter gourd and said aggrievedly, "If I only wanted one jar, I wouldn't dare come over and trouble my father-in-law. It's really a sincere concubine who wants too much."
"That girl Qiangwei came here with four or five eunuchs. She said she wanted a jar of milk and a basin of maltose."
"It's OK to say that the maltose is well stocked in the imperial kitchen, but milk is delivered from the farm outside the palace at regular intervals every morning early in the morning. It's getting dark now, and it's too late to send it into the palace in time! "
Tian Zhijing was drinking tea when he heard the little eunuch talking about a jug of milk and spit out the tea. He thought he had heard wrongly.
"How much do you think Concubine Cheng will cost?"
The little eunuch replied, "One jar."
Tian Zhijing made a sad face, he knew that none of the masters in this palace were easy to serve!
If it were normal, forget it, but things just piled up. If the little master is not favored, he will pass with a push.
He also brought four or five eunuchs with him, so he came prepared!
Tian Zhijing asked, "How much milk is left? After using it at the palace banquet, is there enough left for a jar?"
The little eunuch said, "That's enough, but Concubine Hua also wants a lot."
"I can't afford to offend either of them. Father-in-law, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Tian Zhijing said, "You little brat, you ask me who I'm going to ask."
"What else can we do? Tell the truth. Except for what Concubine Hua wants, the rest will be brought back to Miss Qiangwei first."
"If you'd like to apologize, I'll wait until the milk is delivered to the palace early tomorrow morning, and then I'll send a jar to Concubine Cheng."
The little eunuch nodded and said, "I understand, let's do it now."
Qiangwei looked at the small half-tank of milk in front of her, thinking that the matter had not been completed. When the ancestor who returned to the palace saw it, he didn't know what to make of it, so he thought he should leave the matter to Suzuran.
The little eunuch said, "Please give me a few kind words in front of the Concubine Cheng, but there is really only so much I can do."
"A lot of snacks were used at the palace banquet. Concubine Hua also asked people to come and ask for a lot. These are all that are left today."
"When the person who delivers the things comes to the palace tomorrow, I will send someone to bring a jar immediately. Concubine Cheng can have as many as she wants. Please be considerate."
Qiangwei knew that it was useless to pester, so she could only nod. As the little eunuch nodded and bowed, he took the things back and went back. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Sun Miaoqing's voice jumping for joy.
"I got it back. I finally have my toffee."
