Chapter 123
"No." Fen'er said firmly: "The steward said that the queen is polite. That's because the queen is a good person and feels sorry for the slave. But the slave must not be ignorant."
Qi Zi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Defu was worthy of being an old steward in the palace. He trained his slaves in a very orderly and decent manner. But Qi Zi didn't know what the sutra was and actually said: "Am I the master or he is the master?"
Fen'er said: "Of course you are the master."
"Then you won't listen to what I say?"
"I don't dare." Fen'er said in a low voice.
Qi Zi shook his head and got out of bed, helped Fen'er up and said, "Remember my words, don't kneel down when you see anyone in the future."
Fen'er smiled and said: "This slave obeys Yi's decree."
Qi Zi was helpless and speechless and thought: Oh my God, I have learned all this. She didn't want to say anything more and sat in front of the dressing table.
I don’t know whether it’s because there are two sensible girls, Fen’er and Fang’er, around her or for other reasons. Qizi is in a particularly good mood today. She wears the small floral skirt that Zilan prepared when she left the palace, and a band on her head.
The lavender ribbon makes the whole look quiet and elegant, yet solemn.
Fang'er ran in and said, "Sister, it's so lively outside."
Fen'er glared at her and said, "There are no rules. Have you forgotten what the chief supervisor taught you yesterday?"
Fang'er stuck out her tongue naughtily, knelt down and said, "See the Queen, Your Majesty..."
Before she could speak, Qi Zi pulled her and said, "Okay, okay, get up. I just told Fen'er that you don't have to kneel when you see anyone in the future. Do you understand?"
Fang'er smiled and nodded and said, "I follow Yi's decree."
As expected of a sister, Qi Zi gently knocked her on the head and said, "I really lost to you two sisters."
Defu came in and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has a decree. Please come to the living room."
Qi Zi's face turned gloomy. He couldn't guess what Xuan Yi was going to do again. Watching Qi Zi walk out, Fen'er and Fang'er were still stunned. Defu said, "What's wrong? Why don't you hurry up and follow."
"Oh, oh, yes."
In the living room, Fen'er and Fang'er didn't greet Xuan Yi when they saw him. Defu said angrily: "How come you two maids didn't greet the emperor when they saw you?"
Fang'er looked at Qi Zi and said, "Your Majesty said you are not in the palace now, so you don't have to kneel in front of anyone."
"You..." Defu raised his hand and said, "How dare you talk back."
Fang'er was so frightened that she hid behind Qi Zi, and Xuan Yi said, "Forget it, let them go."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Defu said, putting down his hand.
Xuan Yi stood up and walked to Qi Zi. Qi Zi turned his head sideways, feeling extremely conflicted. He didn't know whether he didn't want to look or didn't dare to look. Xuan Yi said: "From now on, we are businessmen from the capital, and De Fu is the housekeeper.
"General Lan is the guardian." Then he looked at Qi Zi and said, "You are the maid."
"Girl?" the two girls said in unison: "Aren't you empress?"
"The emperor is talking, and the slaves are not allowed to interrupt." Defu said, staring at Fen'er and Fang'er.
The two girls fell silent timidly. Xuan Yi continued: "Because someone asked you about your identity before, and I told you that you are a favored maid in my house. To avoid causing more trouble, you should still be
Maid."
Maid? Qi Zi felt a little disappointed in her heart. What was she expecting? Qi Zi said: "It's great. So I can come and go freely now?"
Xuan Yi nodded, held her chin, looked at Fen'er and Fang'er strangely and said, "I know that the empress is kind-hearted. In addition to the minions in Qifeng Palace, the two empresses in front of me will also care.
"
Qi Zi slapped his hand away and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty is really experienced in many dangers. You can find bargaining chips to threaten me anywhere."
Xuan Yi didn't answer her words and said: "Finally, please remember, don't reveal your identity, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."
"According to the decree."
Today's Youyuan is particularly lively, as lively as the Lantern Festival, but the difference is that the people who come to participate are all people with status and status.
Li Yulong, the richest man in Yangzhou, Tian Liyang, a famous family man in Suzhou, Ling Shiqi, the richest man in Luozhou, Xiao Yunsheng of Xiaofu in Luozhou, Han Rushui, the beautiful lady of Qingyin House in Luozhou, etc. gathered in Youyuan.
The tribute wine must have come from Luozhou City, so the wine merchants in the city are now cautious in their words when meeting each other, for fear of revealing the secrets of their wineries, and they can't help but become red-faced. The reception lasted for six days, so the decision was divided into three times.
The first two days are the first round of elimination, the two winning days are the second round of elimination, and the last day will determine the winner and decide which wine will be the tribute wine.
Xuan Yi has been thinking about the use of a large open space in the garden since he moved into Youyuan. Now after seeing Mr. Chen's decorations, he knows that it was originally prepared for wine tasting. Now there is a
The long table is filled with more than a dozen jars of wine. There is no label on the wine to indicate which winery it belongs to. The wine is only marked with serial numbers one, two, three... to six. The wine is from a famous winery in Luozhou City.
They're all on the table, and they can't wait to compete.
Tonight is the first round of the elimination round. The surroundings are full of wine tasting experts. Sitting on the chair are Fang Chaoyang, the eunuch in charge of the palace wine store, and Mr. Liu, the shepherd of Luozhou. These two people are the final wine tasters.
The person who made the decision. Xuan Yi sat in the pavilion aside, with Qi Zi and Fen'er standing behind him. Because the eunuch chief eunuch of the wine store could only stay in the wine store in the palace, he had never seen the emperor and the queen. Ke De
Fu often came in and out of this palace and that treasury, so he met him so that he wouldn't recognize him and stayed at Luluo Garden. Mr. Liu, the governor of the state, had always been in contact with Lan Zihui. Although it was stated that the emperor was in Luozhou, he had never met him.
, if Lan Zihui stands next to Xuan Yi at this time, his identity will be exposed.
The competition has begun. The contestants include fruit wine from Luji Winery, Yipinxiang from Taoji, red date green from Songjiangfu, Zhuyu Tang from Baiji Winery, Fangzi Wine from Yunxuanlou, and Yunzhui from Anqi Winery.
moon.
Dr. Rao Ruo, who was sitting at the table with Xuanyi, asked with interest: "I wonder if Mr. Zheng thinks that the wine shop will win?"
Xuan Yi took a sip of tea and said, "I can't guess that."
"How about this, old minister... ah, no, I asked someone to bring a glass of all the wine for the competition, and you can try it." Dr. Rao suggested.
Xuan Yi nodded, Imperial Physician Rao waved, and a servant came up, whispered something in his ear, and then the man went down. After a while, three servants came up with two wine bottles each. Of course, there were stickers on the wine bottles.
The label indicates which company the wine belongs to.
Xuan Yi glanced at Qi Zi, and Qi Zi poured the wine wisely. Before the wine was finished, Qi Zi suddenly felt that a pair of eyes were like arrows that were about to penetrate her body. She couldn't help but trembled in her heart and knocked down a person.
I was so surprised that I looked around for the cup, but there were people everywhere, so I could find it everywhere.
