Chapter 1241 (Updated on June 18)
"Hush, be quiet, I saw it." Ma Jiashi whispered: "Don't keep looking there, let's just gather dew and water."
"Understood, Miss." The maid bent down and collected the dew into the bamboo tube.
Ma Jiashi is the same, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, picking it carefully.
The eyebrows and eyes are curved, and the corners of the mouth always have a sweet girlish smile.
She was still collecting dew until fourth master's guard of honor slowly approached.
Moreover, talking and laughing with the maid.
Not only that, but there was no intention of saluting.
Fourth master was walking along the path with his hands behind his back, but he didn't pay much attention.
But Su Peisheng paid attention, and thought to himself why these two women are still rude.
After all, in the Forbidden City, except for the queen mother, no matter who saw the emperor, they all had to salute.
After the servants saluted, the emperor didn't even have to call out, because it was too common.
But if they are not polite, it is against the rules.
The emperor was in a hurry to go to court, so he didn't pay attention to these two. As the chief eunuch, he had to say a few words no matter what.
So, he scolded in a sharp voice: "You two, what are you doing here, you can't even show respect when you meet the emperor!"
As soon as the voice fell, the maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt down.
Ma Jiashi turned around very calmly and looked at Fourth Master in surprise.
"Your Majesty, I wish you peace." She saluted calmly and gracefully: "It's all because the servant and the court lady were too focused on collecting dew, and didn't see the Emperor, so they forgot to salute. I also ask the Emperor to forgive me."
Su Peisheng frowned, if it was someone else, seeing the emperor not saluting, he would have panicked a long time ago.
This guy can be so calm and calm.
Moreover, if others were so negligent, they would have already apologized.
She actually asked the emperor not to blame him.
He didn't pay attention just now, and thought it was two court ladies.
Now take a closer look, one of them is a palace lady.
Another was wearing this year's Showgirls outfit.
Hehe, she looks like a beautiful girl with a bit of beauty and personality, and she also has a bit of fairy air.
It's just that the morning at this time is very cold.
Strolling in the Royal Garden so early, it is quite elegant.
Fourth Master originally walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony with his hands behind his back.
When something like this happened, he stopped and stopped to look at Ma Jiashi.
Long eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, "Raise your head."
Ma Jiashi raised her head slightly and looked at Fourth Master's chin.
She tried her best to tilt her right cheek slightly.
Because she knows which angle of herself is the most beautiful.
Under the morning light, Qiong's nose was straight and her long eyelashes fluttered.
On a face, the skin is full of collagen and translucent.
Fourth master glanced at Ma Jiashi's face, and then fell on the bamboo tube in her hand.
"What are you doing in this imperial garden so early in the morning?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the servant is collecting dew." Ma Jiashi happily waved the bamboo tube in his hand, as if offering a treasure: "Recently, the weather is getting colder, and the servant's throat is slightly uncomfortable. When I was at home, I often had a throat discomfort. , Er Niang would order people to collect dew to make tea for me, and it would be good every time I finished drinking, so the servant brought the maid to try it."
When speaking, she no longer looked at fourth master's chin, but looked directly at fourth master with her eyes.
In those bright eyes, there was a girl's unique innocence.
"My lady, the palace is no better than your home. The emperor doesn't like the harem concubines or other women wandering around in the imperial garden. If you want to collect dew in the future, it's not impossible. You can just order the maid to collect it. You really don't have to do it yourself. Wouldn't it be worse if you took a trip and you already felt the wind and cold?" Su Peisheng reminded truthfully.
No wonder he said that this person exuded a fairy air, so she was a fairy who grew up drinking dew!
However, Ma Jiashi didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.
She was not afraid at all and said: "But I am not wandering around. When I entered the palace, I only brought a servant with me. If she alone collects dew, it will take a year of the monkey to collect dew. Besides, she is my dowry maid. I'm not willing to let her work so hard alone."
Hearing this, Su Peisheng smiled coyly, and didn't speak any more.
As far as I can tell, you are generous and considerate, okay?
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Ma Jia raised her head and looked at Fourth Master: "Your Majesty, there are many flowers, plants and trees in this imperial garden. Every morning, there is a lot of dew on those plants. Anyway, no one picks them, and the servant just needs them. "
As she spoke, she looked at fourth master with admiration, without any timidity or shyness.
Instead, he said sweetly: "The servant heard that the emperor is a diligent and caring king. Although the servant is not the emperor's concubine, he is still the emperor's citizen, and the emperor loves the people. Wouldn't he disagree?"
Her voice is as clear and melodious as an orchid in an empty valley, which makes people feel very comfortable in the morning.
But in Su Peisheng's ears, these words were really bold, he gritted his teeth and said: "Bold, how did you talk to the emperor!"
Listening to the meaning of this sentence, if the emperor disagrees, he is not a person who loves the people. Is there anyone who speaks like this?
But what they said seemed to be correct.
After all, the first few sentences were flattering.
The art of speaking is quite well mastered.
Fourth Master raised his hand to signal Su Peisheng not to speak.
Seeing this, Ma Jia's face became even more proud.
She had heard a long time ago that the higher the status of a person, the more people around him would be obedient to him, no matter if it was a man or a woman.
As the emperor, the emperor, from his courtiers to concubines in the harem, almost all flattered him.
If she was like those women who only knew how to flatter him, curry favor with him, and please him, she would definitely appear too ordinary and would not get a response.
But if he is a bit more savage, he will be different, and he will also get his attention, which will arouse his emperor's desire to conquer.
Just like now, she managed to get his attention!
At this moment, fourth master looked at Ma Jiashi, his eyes tightened, and he asked lightly, "Which family are you from?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the slave is Ma Jiashi, the daughter of Zhenghuangqi Shangshu A Linbao." Ma Jiashi first took a deep look at the fourth master, and then lowered her eyes.
At this moment, she finally had just the right amount of girlish shyness on her face.
The emperor directly asked her about her family background, does it mean that she is going to be summoned?
In Su Peisheng's eyes, this Ma Jiashi's eyes looked more like a kind of flirting.
It's just that it's not so obvious, but it's natural and unaffected.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart.
I'm afraid this is a clever man.
She doesn't look like a beautiful girl who just entered the palace at all.
On the contrary, it is more like a concubine who has been immersed in the harem for many years, with experience!
Just as Su Peisheng was pondering, he only heard the fourth master give a faint "hmm", and said in a deep voice: "Su Peisheng, tell me, Ma Jia has a throat problem, send a few more maids to the imperial garden to collect dew for her, Until the show girl observation period ends."
