Chapter 108 The Maid
Emperor Yongjia originally had personal maids in the palace, but they were not as well-served as Qingzhu Qingcao.
Unexpectedly, after Concubine Xin Shu came back, Emperor Yongjia also became "sentimental".
Qingzhu obviously saw Qin Liuse's confusion, and smiled and said to her, "The Concubine Shu was afraid that the emperor would have no one to serve him, so she asked me to come here to serve him. I was used to serving in the northwest before, and the emperor is used to it too."
What do you mean there is no one to serve him? Emperor Yongjia is afraid that there will be no one to serve him. Is there such a shortage of people in the palace?
I don't know why Concubine Xin is so "considerate and attentive". She shouldn't be a Concubine Xin, but a Palace Lady instead?
Qin Liuse nodded, but she felt a little unhappy. She didn't even ask, but Qingzhu kept talking about it.
To be honest, this is not what a servant should do. He spoke before his master asked him, which is unruly.
However, whether it is a rule or not is up to the master. If the master likes it, he will think that the servant knows how to read the emperor's mood, just like Emperor Yongjia. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to let Concubine Xin Shu put people here.
But it was obvious that Qin Liuse didn't get along very well with Qingzhu, so she thought she was unruly.
Qin Liuse couldn't help but think again, it seems that Qingzhu has a certain weight around Emperor Yongjia, otherwise even if Concubine Xin Shu wanted to squeeze someone in, she wouldn't be able to.
Thinking about this, he was also considering how to treat this Qingzhu girl.
"It's getting late. You stay here with me and take some before going back." Emperor Yongjia waved to Qin Liuse.
This time Qin Liuse didn't want to refuse at all, he was so hungry.
When she walked forward, she saw that the table of Emperor Yongjia was full of dishes. There were two soups alone. However, although there were many dishes, they did not look very delicious.
Qin Liuse still remembers the last time she had a meal at Emperor Yongjia's place. The steamed meat almost made her vomit. She will remember it for the rest of her life.
Emperor Yongjia obviously thought of the past, and waved his hand with a smile, asking Qin Liuse to come over. "What do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen staff to cook a few dishes for you."
Qin Liuse smiled and said, "Don't bother. I can just follow Your Majesty and eat. I don't want to eat those two dishes. I can just eat something else."
Although Qin Liuse said this, Emperor Yongjia still called Zhu Wanxi in.
"Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare two dishes and a soup for Qin Zhaoyi, and a bowl of noodles, and send them over as soon as possible."
Emperor Yongjia still remembered that Qin Liuse liked to eat noodles.
Qin Liuse raised the corner of her mouth. She had to admit, even though she said she didn't need it, Emperor Yongjia still insisted on sending her new things, which made her feel very happy.
Girls are like this, they say one thing and mean another.
While waiting for lunch, Qin Liuse sat aside and watched Emperor Yongjia eat. Qingzhu stood beside Emperor Yongjia, pouring her tea and water from time to time.
Qin Liuse thought to herself that although many wealthy families, and even nobles in the palace, had people serve food, but because Emperor Yongjia had not done so before, she felt it was strange to be served by Qingzhu at this moment.
Qin Liuse thought to herself that Qingzhu's way of serving tea and pouring wine made it seem as if Emperor Yongjia was in a brothel.
No matter how much Qin Liuse thought about it, she couldn't say it. After all, if Emperor Yongjia was the benefactor of the brothel Chuguan at this time, then what was she, sitting in front of him?
"Go and prepare water for me." Emperor Yongjia said to Qingzhu.
Qingzhu immediately turned around and walked to the other side, apparently to prepare bath water for Emperor Yongjia.
Qin Liuse also figured something out. Looking at Qingzhu's back, Qingzhu served Emperor Yongjia in every aspect and even had to prepare bath water for him.
Emperor Yongjia tapped Qin Liuse's lips and said, "Your little mouth is pouted like this. Why do you want to be jealous?"
Qin Liuse saw his smiling face and thought to herself that you were overthinking it. But she didn't. She was just curious about why Emperor Yongjia treated this bamboo so specially.
He didn't want a noble lady like Wei Lanxin, so he wouldn't be interested in Qingzhu. But if he was interested, he should have taken her in long ago.
After thinking about it, he felt that she was only capable of being a servant. He didn't know in what aspect this Miss Qingzhu was so outstanding. Qin Liuse was very curious.
However, Qin Liuse still had a pouty look on her face. She thought that Emperor Yongjia didn't seem to mind her being "jealous", so she looked in the direction of the purification room and took the opportunity to ask, "The emperor didn't need anyone to serve him before."
Emperor Yongjia seemed to be in a good mood today and did not hide it from her.
"I was injured before in the Northwest. I was stabbed in the chest."
Although he won in the end, Emperor Yongjia was seriously injured and had to bathe in medicine every day.
At that time, Xin Zhaoyuan didn't have many personal maids around him, and only these two were brought to the northwest. In addition to Xin Zhaoyuan, Qingzhu and Qingcao took care of his daily life.
From then on, the task of managing the potion fell on Qingzhu, and over time, Emperor Yongjia got used to her.
But Qin Liuse was still puzzled, "Is the emperor's wound still not healed?"
When dealing with him, Qin Liuse saw the long scar on his chest.
Because Qin Liuse didn't want to pry into the emperor's privacy, he never asked about it. He didn't expect that there were these stories.
Emperor Yongjia looked at Qin Liuse with a curved mouth corner and still thought that Qin Liuse was jealous.
He had naturally been in bed by now, but since Qingzhu was serving him, it was as convenient and easy to order him around as before, so he let her prepare and take care of these daily chores.
Qin Liuse sensed something different. Regardless of whether Emperor Yongjia had that intention or not, there was definitely something wrong with this Qingzhu.
It’s definitely more than just a little bit, Qin Liuse laughed in her heart again. No wonder Qingzhu dared to treat her like that.
He is a servant, but he doesn't look scary in front of his master.
From this we can see that Concubine Xin Shufei is not as easy to get along with as she appears to be.
Qin Liuse always thought that the servants would be like their masters, just like the owner will have the same dog as the owner.
You can tell what kind of person the master is just by looking at the behavior of the servants.
For example, Zhu Cui, who was beside the Empress Dowager Cixi, had a noisy personality, but she was kind-hearted and straightforward, and she would never bully others by taking advantage of her power.
This Qingzhu is different.
He had only seen her a few times, but she had given Qin Liuse a cold shoulder more than once.
However, Qin Liuse also understood that Qingzhu probably wanted to strike while the iron was hot as soon as he returned to the palace. They hadn't seen each other for so long, so it was just the right time to climb onto the dragon bed as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he delayed it for too long, there would be more trouble.
What's more, the situation is like this now. There are so many women in Emperor Yongjia's harem. It is impossible not to have a sense of crisis.
I think Concubine Xin Shu had the same intention, which is why she sent her here.
However, Qin Liuse now understood the whole story and just wanted to wish her success.
Because she was not optimistic about it at all, Qingzhu was not to Emperor Yongjia's taste at all.
Zhang Baolin was able to rise to the top before because of her good looks and nice figure.
As for this Qingzhu, there is nothing outstanding about him.
However, Qingzhu was used to being a big shot in the northwest. In the past, those people below her could not ask for favors from Concubine Xin Shufei, so they had to curry favor with her, the chief maid, which led to her developing this kind of personality.
Over time, she began to think that she had the same destiny as her master.
While Qin Liuse and Emperor Yongjia were talking, Qingzhu had already asked the servants to prepare the bath water. She walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the bath water is ready. You may come over."
Qin Liuse rolled her eyes in her heart. This Qingzhu was too arrogant. Emperor Yongjia invited her to have dinner here, but the food hasn't even arrived yet, and this Qingzhu came over and wanted to call Emperor Yongjia to take a bath.
What kind of intention is this?
