Chapter 695: The nobles from the palace are coming
Chirp—chirp—
The next morning, Zhu Pingan woke up to the graceful singing of birds, and opened his eyes in confusion. Suddenly, I felt dazzled by the bright sunshine outside the window. I couldn't help but close my eyes and subconsciously stretched out my hand to cover the sun.
I feel a little breathless, as if there is a heavy weight on my body, as if there is a snake wrapped around me, slippery.
“嘤咛”
There was a lazy groan in his ears, Zhu Pingan was startled, and then the memory of last night came back to his mind.
Open your eyes again.
Li Shu's pretty and fair face rested on her shoulder, her dark cloud-like hair rippling like silk on the pillow, and a slender white lotus-like arm wrapped around her chest, like a beautiful snake, Tangled up in himself.
Two people woke up after a ridiculous night, their eyes met, and they were a little shy.
Li Shu’s pretty face couldn’t help but blush.
"Morning."
Zhu Ping'an stretched out his hand to say hello.
"Morning..." Li Shu said with a blushing face.
"Bad guy, you are not honest this morning, please take your hand away." The next second, Li Shu gave Zhu Ping'an an angry look.
Zhu Pingan withdrew a claw.
"There is another one." Li Shu glared at Zhu Pingan angrily.
"Haha." Zhu Ping'an chuckled and retracted the other dishonest paw.
"There is one more!" Li Shu rolled her eyes and dug into Zhu Ping'an fiercely, "You are dishonest so early in the morning, what are you thinking about."
"You."
Zhu Pingan replied.
The next second
Zhu Pingan begged for mercy, "It hurts, don't bite my aunt. If you bite me again, I will bite you too."
"You dare to bite me and try." Li Shu showed her little tiger teeth and said.
"Hua'er, haven't you and your uncle gotten up yet? It's almost time to say hello to the old lady. The old lady has always had problems with the young lady. If it's late to say hello today, the old lady may not know what to do. "Where's the lady?"
Outside the bedroom, Qin'er trotted into the living room and saw the little maid Baozi waiting in the wing, and asked anxiously.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Baozi's little maid stretched out her little hand and put it to her lips. She was nervous and cautious, and gave a hint in the direction of the bedroom.
What's wrong?
Qin'er saw that the little maid Baozi was so cautious, and quickly stopped talking. Then the sound in the bedroom faintly reached Qin'er's ears. Qin'er's face suddenly turned red, and her ears started to It went to my neck and then all over my body, all the way to my heels.
After a while, Li Shu's voice came from the bedroom, asking Baozi and the other maids to go in and serve.
When the little maid Baozi and Qin'er went in to serve, Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu had already put on their clothes and got out of bed.
There was a faint smell of chestnut flowers in the bedroom.
It was already past the time to greet the old lady, and Li Shu didn't care at all. The old lady had objections to her; Opinions. While the little maid Baozi and Qin'er were serving, he sent a maid to the old lady to tell her she was unwell, and then went to pay her respects to the old lady later.
"Miss is even more beautiful," the little maid Baozi said with emotion while serving Li Shu.
"Yeah, my lady's skin is whiter and more supple." Qin'er nodded and couldn't agree more, "I used to hear people say that skin can be broken by blows, but I always thought it was a lie. Yes, but now after looking at the lady’s skin, I realized that it was not a lie. Laizhen has skin that can be broken by playing.”
“It can be broken by playing. Qin’er is so amazing. I’m still thinking about how to describe Miss’s skin. Qin’er has already thought of such a suitable word, Miss.” Her skin is really tender and can be broken by blows." The little maid Baozi nodded repeatedly.
"Hun said."
Li Shu squeaked and looked at her face in the mirror, which was white and rosy, pink and tender, shiny and elastic, and blinked slightly.
Zhu Ping'an went to wash himself and brushed his teeth with the Daming toothbrush and toothpaste with the characteristics of the times. The toothbrush was the prototype of the modern toothbrush. The toothpaste was boiled into a paste using Poria cocos and other medicinal materials. It was usually placed in a porcelain bottle and poured onto the toothbrush when in use. superior.
After washing up, the girls brought breakfast etc. Breakfast was made by the cook in Ting Yuxuan’s small kitchen.
Porridge, side dishes, shrimp cakes, Poria cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and soup dumplings.
Although the taste is not as good as Li Shu's, it is also a rare delicacy when paired with Li Shu's pickled cucumbers.
Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu were eating at the table. Baozi's maid and Qin'er stood aside to serve Li Shu. After Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu finished their breakfast, the little maid Baozi and Qin'er took the remaining food off the table and gave it to the girls outside. The cook left another breakfast for the two of them in the small kitchen, which belonged to the eldest girl. After receiving the treatment, the two of them filled their stomachs in the small kitchen.
Not long after breakfast, a little girl trotted in to report that the porter sent an urgent message to the inner courtyard, saying that someone was coming from the palace, and there was an order from the emperor to be delivered to Zhu Ping'an.
The emperor’s oral order?
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly adjusted his clothes, told Li Shu not to worry, and walked out quickly.
Why did Emperor Jiajing want to give him an oral instruction? He didn't know what it was. Zhu Pingan thought about it as he walked, and unconsciously left the inner courtyard.
"Uncle, here, the nobles in the palace are in the main hall."
Butler Li from the Linhuai Marquis Mansion was waiting for Zhu Ping'an outside the Chuihua Gate. He had never been in contact with him before The eunuch who came from the palace didn't know whether the tea and gifts offered were appropriate, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. When he saw Zhu Ping'an going out, he felt like he was seeing a savior, so he hurriedly reminded him.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Li."
Zhu Ping'an nodded and went to the main hall with Butler Li.
Because the eunuch from the palace was delivering oral instructions to Zhu Ping'an, the old lady and others in the mansion did not come to visit him.
Zhu Ping'an entered the main hall and saw the eunuch sitting on the seat in the middle enjoying tea. He couldn't help but smile. He cupped his hands and came forward to plead guilty and said: "Hahaha, Eunuch Feng came from afar. Ping'an didn't greet you from far away. I'm rude. Discourteous.”
< br>"Hahaha, Mr. Xiao Zhu is too polite. The Za family hasn't congratulated Mr. Xiao Zhu on joining the cabinet yet." Feng Bao, who was sitting on the seat enjoying tea, saw Zhu Ping'an, smiled on his face, and immediately put down his tea cup, He stood up and bowed his hands to greet Zhu Pingan.
"Eunuch Feng is joking, I dare not claim to be in the cabinet, but I, Si Zhilang, just run errands and serve tea for the cabinet elders. If the cabinet elders sneeze, I will fall down. A somersault." Zhu Pingan shook his head and smiled bitterly. (End of this chapter)
