Chapter 192 (1/2)
Bai Jun scorched his brows and frowned, hesitating: ”it's just...”
Apricot's heart was seized and he said, ”Miss, as soon as you say 'just', the maidservant's heart will thump for a moment. Shouldn't the Empress Dowager really hurt you
Bai junzhuo shook his head: ”that's not true. I just think the smell of this fragrance is familiar. It seems that I've heard it somewhere.”
The apricot sucked hard to suck nose, return way: ”maidservant pour is the first time to smell this kind of taste.”
Bai Jun thought about it for a while, but he said, ”it's just spices. Even if I smell it, it's not a big deal. Anyway, it's not poisonous.”
Then the cook sat down with mother Huang for breakfast. Mother Huang went to clean up the bedding. Bai Jun took a bite of red bean cake and asked, ”mother Huang, didn't you just change one side of the quilt the day before yesterday? In winter, it's snowing again. You don't have to wash so often
Mother Huang sighed, but she said with a smile, ”I'm not free to do it? When the LORD was young, he was always taken care of by the slaves. Later, when the Lord grew older, the slaves were also old. The LORD was grateful for the due diligence of the maids and left the slaves to live in the palace. The Lord doesn't care. I can't eat and drink for nothing. So I'll do what I can, and I'll be more comfortable. ”
Listen to her say so, Bai junzhuo unexpectedly some move. Although Yin Xun was raised by the empress dowager, she is not the Queen Mother's own son after all. No matter how fair she does, there will be a gap between her and the emperor. It's just that mother Huang is different. She must have been devoted to Yin Xunhao and raised him as a son.
Bai junhuo said nothing more, but nodded and said, ”well, it's hard for mother Huang.”
Mother Huang was immediately flattered and said, ”no hard work, no hard work. This is what a maid should do.”
After dinner, Bai junzhuo went to discuss with Jia Shantang about planting rice bags, and decided to start planting rice bags in February next year. During this period, she would send people from the chamber of Commerce to collect all rice sacs and black incense that were spread among the people of the state of Li and prohibit their circulation.
After seeing off Jia Shantang, he went to the chamber of Commerce for a busy day, and then returned to the palace in the middle of the night. Bai junhuo could not help feeling that his physical strength was overdrawn.
Although Siwei died, her health has improved, but also can not help the whole day of busy work, the baby's month is growing up, really need to have a good rest, ready for labor.
Apricot picked the hairpin flower from her hair and said to her with concern: ”Miss, people will be fat when they are pregnant. Look at you. If you are so thin, you will be distressed.”
Bai Jun Zhuo pinched his face and nodded: ”I also know that Wu Xiang's problem has been solved. I won't be so busy in the future. I can have a good rest.”
Apricot nodded: ”Miss must eat white fat, in order to have a big fat boy.”
Bai Jun chuckled, but said to her, ”I know. Look at you. You are more important to my baby than me. If you go on like this, I will be jealous.”
Apricot a Zheng, nervous way: ”no, no, miss in maid apricot is the most important, no one can compare with miss.”
Bai junzhuo looked at the apricot in the mirror and said with a smile, ”I'm joking with you. You're nervous.”
Apricot was relieved. After plucking the pearls, he would wait on Bai Jun to wash his face. However, Bai junzhuo picked up a comb to comb his hair. Apricot looked at Bai junzhuo's movement and murmured for a while: ”since the fire, the young lady has changed a lot. Sometimes I even feel that the young lady is not the old one.”
Bai Jun broke the wooden comb in his hand with a burning ”pa” sound, but his heart was tight for a moment. Tell Yin Xun the truth about her, but not anyone else.
She was thinking of using some excuse to excuse her past, and then she heard apricot say, ”Miss used to say that combing her hair at night would cause mildew. She never combed her hair at night. Only after the fire did the young lady like to comb her hair at night. At the beginning, the maid felt strange, but there was no difference between the young lady and the original. The maid pressed the doubt deeply in her heart
Bai junzhuo then found that she had been belittling this little girl. She could feel the difference between her and the original Bai junzhuo, and she also knew to hide the doubts in her heart. She knew better to ask these questions at the right time. Now there is no one around, only their most loyal confidant servant girl, it is really the best time to explain. And if she doesn't want to answer, she won't be angry because of the peaceful atmosphere.
Bai junzhuo was silent for a long time. He looked down and saw the box sent by Jia Shantang on the dressing table. He suddenly remembered something. He picked up the box and said, ”how can I put this thing here, apricot? Go and take this away.”
Apricot also did not tangle the question just now, took over the box, curiously asked: ”Miss, what is this?”
”It's the scroll handed down by the Bai family. Although it's not very useful, it's a treasure of the family. But put it away. ”
Apricot nodded and said seriously, ”don't worry, miss. I'll take it down.”
Bai junzhuo breathed a sigh of relief.This girl is not like Yin Xun. Yin Xun knew her at first, but apricot spent more than ten years with Bai junzhuo. If she really knew that she was not the original Bai junzhuo, she would not be so loyal to herself.
But fortunately, now she doesn't know.
*
before the morning of the next day, Bai junzhuo brought some excellent and precious medicinal materials into the palace to ask the Empress Dowager to say hello and thank the Empress Dowager for her incense.
The Empress Dowager saw her with a big stomach and asked people to sit down. She told her, ”if you get older this month, don't work so hard. You can leave everything to xun'er.”
Bai Jun said with a scorching smile, ”I obey you. In fact, I haven't been very busy recently. I don't need to go to the imperial court. When I'm free, I help the king do what I can.”
