[Qing Chuan] Koi Little Promise

The seventh day of July.

This day is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the magpie bridge, and it is also a big day for the ladies in the palace.

Although at this moment he moved out of the palace because of Dilong's turning over, but this good day still can't be sloppy.

Early in the morning.

Shaoyao, Lily and others took water bowls and dried them under the eaves of the corridor.

The gospel is also left to them, and they can relax a little bit today in all seasons of the year, so why stop them.

Dozens of water bowls lined up under the eaves of the corridor.

The little girl Lily was impatient and couldn't sit still, she would go to the veranda to see if the water in the water bowl was peeling from time to time.When Shao Yao and the others saw it, they couldn't help laughing.

"Lily, you've read this seven or eight times, but can you see anything?"

Gospel touched the shiny hair of glutinous rice balls, and teased Lily with a smile.

Lily rubbed her nose, a little embarrassed, "I can't see anything."

"Then you'll see."

Shaoyao brought hot tea to Gospel, turned around and said jokingly to Lily, "I see, you're walking on limestone—it's a waste of time. Don't you just want to win tonight's artifice competition?"

"What begging competition?"

Gospel lifted the lid of the tea, took a sip, and asked inexplicably.

Shaoyao replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know, this water bowl is for tonight's begging competition. In previous years, the slaves would play in private, but this year, the imperial concubine showed mercy and allowed us to play next to the Zhaozhu Hall." .Then Liu Ye said, let’s just have a competition. Although the prizes are just some small things, it is also a good intention.”

The gospel is understood at once.

No wonder Lily, the little girl, was so caring when drying the water bowls in previous years.

This year is so positive, dare to go for things.

Sister An accompanied her with a smile and said, "This is interesting, but it's useless if you run around like this. I have a way, you let Xiao Huanzi and the others keep an eye on it. Even if the water is dried successfully."

"Really?" Lily was overjoyed.

The Gospel is also willing to pamper them.

Holding the teacup, she said with a smile: "Then let's see if Xiao Huanzi and the others like it?"

There is no reason for Xiao Huanzi not to agree.

He usually wanted to curry favor with Shao Yao and others, but now that an opportunity came to him, he immediately patted his chest without saying a word, "Leave this matter to the young ones, the sisters can rest assured."

Shao Yao and others thanked him.

Xiao Huanzi was so happy that he almost lost his way, he hurriedly went out to look at the water bowl under the eaves.

Everyone in the room was chatting and laughing, but no one noticed that a caregiver in the yard left quietly.

The nun went all the way to Dingxiangdi along the veranda.

Her expression was as usual, and she bowed to everyone she saw as usual, so no one thought it was wrong.

There is a rockery beside the clove embankment.

Around the rockery is a clear stream.

After walking to the rockery, Mammy looked around, and when she was wondering, someone slapped her on the shoulder.

"what!"

Mammy screamed in fright, almost lost three souls and seven souls.

Grandma Liu hurriedly covered her mouth, "Why are you shouting!"

"Grandma Liu, are you looking for the younger one?"

That nanny patted her chest, looked at Liu nanny in shock and said.

Even though she is a rough envoy, she also recognizes Liu Nanny who is very respectable in front of Concubine Tong Gui.

"It's not who I can be."

Grandma Liu took out the jade pendant from her sleeve.

The nanny saw the jade pendant in her hand, and subconsciously wanted to take the jade pendant.

Nanny Liu also let her take the jade pendant away.

"This, isn't this my son's jade pendant? Why is it in your hand, Mammy!" Mammy looked at Mammy Liu in panic.

Grandma Liu said with a smile: "It's fine that Grandma recognizes this jade pendant, and it saves me a lot of trouble."

That nanny looked at Liu nanny in surprise, "You, what do you mean?"

"Mother Xu, don't be afraid. I just want you to help me."

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "As long as you help get something, I can guarantee that your son will be safe and sound."

That mama looked at mama Liu with trembling pupils.

An hour later.

Aunt Xu returned to Chunfangju in dismay.

Grandma Chen, who also does rough work like cleaning, saw her coming back, and stopped her with a full face of displeasure, "Mother Xu, where are you running to hide from laziness? We have so much work here, but we have to wait." It's up to you."

"I'm going to do it."

Mother Xu came back to her senses, and quickly agreed.

She snatched the broom in Nanny Chen's hand and walked towards the backyard.

Nanny Chen was momentarily stunned by her reaction.

She turned her head and looked in the direction where Madam Xu left, "This Madam Xu used to avoid things whenever she could, why is it so strange today?"

Nanny Chen just muttered a few words and forgot about it.

After dark.

Changchun Garden became lively.

Whether it is a court lady of the age of two girls, or an old mother, on such a day, it is the same joy.

This Qixi Festival is the day of the daughters, even the most tempered concubines will be more lenient to the maids and nuns on this day.

Bowls of sun-dried water were sent to Zhaozhutang.

This bamboo hall is a bamboo forest, and there is a large open space next to it.

Dozens of tables were set up, and the maids of each concubine carefully delivered the water they had dried to the table, and everyone also prepared their needles and threads.

The left and right sides of the Zhaozhu hall are filled with palace lanterns, which are as bright as daylight.

The concubines were all sitting in the pavilion with smiles on their faces.

On such a busy day, Kangxi had no time to come.

Instead, he sent Wei Zhu to be the referee.

Wei Zhu was also happy to join in. He looked around the crowd with a smile, and said, "Girls, our family has the audacity to be the referee tonight. If there is anything inappropriate, girls, please don't worry about it."

"The father-in-law has always been impartial and selfless, how can the servants care about it?"

Shaoyao laughed.

"Yes, Eunuch Wei, I will trouble you later to see which of us is the most dexterous."

Liu Ye said to Wei Zhu not to be outdone.

"Naturally." Wei Zhu nodded.

Gospel couldn't help but find it funny when he heard the words of the people below.

She turned her face sideways, and said to Yipin who was sitting at the bottom: "What's the matter? Is there still a female celebrity competition tonight?"

"Ms. Concubine Fu, is there really a female celebrity competition? I heard that we have to pass the first test first, and then we will compete to see who can embroider a handkerchief within the time of a cup of tea." Yibi explained to Gospel with a smile.

Gospel nodded knowingly, "Then this time is worth seeing. We court ladies are Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, and it may not be so easy for the leader to come out tonight."

This made everyone nod their heads in agreement.

The Gospel is true. For people like them, no one around them has any skills.

The next game has already started.

The maids of various palaces carefully placed embroidery needles in the water bowl.

Some of them sank immediately, and wailed immediately; some of them floated on the water, but they were overjoyed at the moment, but did not dare to cry out loudly, for fear of shocking the embroidery needles in the water bowl.

And at this time.

The people staying in the various residences all looked at Zhaozhutang with anticipation and helplessness.

Even for this kind of festival, there must be guards everywhere, especially those concubines with Argo Gege.

Chunfang Curie.

Several nannies were sitting on the threshold outside, shaking their fans, looking up at the stars in the sky, and they all had smiles on their faces, as if they were all happy that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl would meet on the magpie bridge.

Mother Xu came over with several bowls of milk tea in her hands.

She smiled at the nurses and said, "The nurses have worked hard, let's drink a bowl of milk tea to cool off the heat."

"Where did this come from?"

When the nannies saw the milk tea, their eyes lit up.

They ate and drank with their master, and they couldn't eat freely on weekdays. Now when they saw milk tea for the first time, they really felt a little moved.

"It's all made by slaves."

Madam Xu said while passing the milk tea in her hand to each of the nurses, "It's a handicraft handed down from our ancestors, and it's no worse than the handicraft in the palace. Please try it."

Several nurses took a sip, and it tasted really good.

"It's really authentic." A nanny boasted.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Granny Xu was holding the tray with a smile on her face. She glanced into the room and said in a low voice: "Grandmas, I forgot to change the flowers in the house today, and I want to take advantage of the absence of the master to Go inside and change."

The nurses looked at each other.

They all thought that they had guessed Madam Xu's intentions.

For the sake of the milk tea, the nannies waved their hands and said, "Hurry up and change the flowers earlier, lest the master find out."

"Eh!"

Nanny Xu happily agreed, turned around to get the flowers, and went into the house.

She quickly put on new flowers, and carefully looked at the door. Seeing that the nurses were all staring at the Cowherd and Vega in the sky, she immediately walked towards the back room where Buyechuk lived.

Xiao Yinzhen and Buyechuk are sleeping together tonight.

He was usually sleepy, and when he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes, thinking it was the nanny who came in, but who knew it was a stranger.

Mother Xu didn't notice that Xiao Yinzhen on the couch had woken up.

She is just an ordinary person, she usually has the guts to do some sneaky things, but now she is committing a crime that implicates the whole family, she has no time to pay attention to the little baby on the couch.

While paying attention to the noise, Nanny Xu tiptoedly took out Buyecchuk's little clothes from the box.

She quickly stuffed the little dress into her bosom, and then walked out of the room with the old flowers that she had replaced.

"Thank you, sisters."

When Aunt Xu left the house, she still said to the nurses with a smile all over her face.

The nurses didn't notice, and waved their hands, "Be smarter in the future, just don't make this mistake again."

"Yes Yes."

Mother Xu agreed, and went out with old flowers and small clothes.

house.

Xiao Yinzhen looked in the direction she left, with a serious look on his brows and eyes.

What is the purpose of taking Buyechuk's little clothes for no reason?

Taking advantage of the movement in Zhaozhu Hall to attract people, Grandma Xu quickly gave the little clothes to Grandma Liu who had been waiting nearby.

She looked at Nanny Liu hesitantly, and asked, "What are you planning to do with Little Gege's clothes?"

"This has nothing to do with you, you just do your own thing."

Grandma Liu said coldly, "Tomorrow when Concubine Fu is taking a nap, you can find a chance to come out to Dingxiangdi, and then you can take your things back, and no one will notice this matter, and your son will be fine."

Hearing her son, Madam Xu's face turned slightly pale.

She nana said yes, and watched Liu mama leave.
