Chapter 374
Mr. Ke is a straightforward person and doesn't go around in circles at all.
The fact that he believed Concubine Zhao so easily made her even happier.
For such a person, wouldn't it be easy to complete the emperor's instructions?
If the masters are close to each other, the servants will naturally be the same.
In addition, since the two of them lived together, their relationship naturally became closer day by day.
Summer evenings are always hot and stuffy.
The position of a noble person does not require much in the way of allowance.
A basin of ice had almost completely melted into water before dawn.
Fortunately, the garden was not as hot and stuffy as the Forbidden City, so it was not that unbearable.
Ever since that day of strolling around, Concubine Ke has become much more proactive in looking for Concubine Zhao.
When I stepped into the room today, I saw Concubine Zhao fiddling with a palm-sized incense burner.
As soon as he stepped into the room, he smiled and asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Concubine Zhao looked up at the other person, without standing up, and asked Concubine Ke to sit down.
Then he smiled and said, "Sister, the weather is too hot. I heard that burning some incense in the palace can help you sleep better."
"I've asked for a few things from the Imperial Household Department. I'm going to try and see if I can come up with something useful."
"spices?"
Noblewoman Ke sat down, a little puzzled. "Won't burning incense make the palace even hotter?"
"Sister, this incense is called Goose Pear Tent Fragrance. I heard that Concubine Rong was very good at making this incense in the past, and it was the late emperor's favorite."
"Although it needs to be lit, the aroma is sweet and refreshing. It won't make people feel stuffy. If combined with the ice we use in the hall, it can add a touch of coolness."
Concubine Zhao's words made Concubine Ke feel extremely novel.
"There's such a thing in the world. If Concubine Rong is proficient in it, why doesn't my sister learn how to make it from the Concubine? Why does she bother to study it herself?"
"Sister, Concubine Rong didn't come with me to the Old Summer Palace this time."
Concubine Zhao shook the silver plate in her hand, a smile on her face.
"Sister, that's about it. Let me try it myself today. If it works, I'll make more and give it to you."
Naturally, Noble Lady Ke would not refuse.
"Then I'll look forward to my sister's good cooking skills."
...
Let’s not talk about what happened to the Old Summer Palace.
In the Forbidden City, the only ones who didn't go with them to escape the summer heat this year were the pregnant Concubine Ling, Concubine Lan (Zi Yan), and Concubine Wen (Lin Yu), apart from Fu Cha Yi Xin, who had just been released from the cold palace.
Needless to say, Lady Wen also has a cold personality.
Except for the time when he presented a few handmade items to Jingren Palace before he gained favor, he rarely interacted with others.
It was because the Hunan official woman went to the Old Summer Palace that the seemingly empty Qixiang Palace welcomed an uninvited guest.
Chunying came out holding a basin of water. When he saw the person coming, his hand shook and he almost dropped the basin.
He quickly calmed himself down and handed the basin of water to the young eunuch beside him.
He casually wiped the water stains on his hands and hurried forward.
"This servant pays respects to the Master, and wishes you good luck, young master."
Fucha Yixin glanced at Chunying and said, "Where's your young lady? Is she free to see me now?"
"My young master, my young master just got up and is having breakfast now."
Fu Cha Yi Xin nodded and said, "That's perfect. I haven't had breakfast yet either. I'll have breakfast with her today."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Chunying to speak, he walked towards the hall.
Chunying was startled and hurriedly followed Fucha Yixin, "My lady, my lady..."
"No need to say more, I won't make things difficult for you."
After saying that, Ziyun reached out and grabbed Chunying, pulling her a few steps away from Fucha Yixin, and then hurriedly caught up.
But after a moment, Fu Cha Yi Xin walked in.
At that time, Lan Changzai had just put down the spoon. When he heard the noise, he looked up and his expression suddenly changed.
Subconsciously, she wanted to stand up, but then she realized that she was no longer the servant who had to be humble in front of Fu Cha Yixin.
