Chapter 109 Green Grass
This is no different from the past when Wen Zhaoyi and Li Chongyuan blatantly came to compete with her for Emperor Yongjia.
However, Qin Liuse did not want to lower her status and argue with a cheap girl, so she smiled and said to Emperor Yongjia, "Your Majesty, please go take a bath. I will just wait here."
Qin Liuse was confident in her heart that Emperor Yongjia would not just leave her there and go take a bath.
As expected, Emperor Yongjia waved his hand towards Qingzhu and said, "You go down first. I'll go over later."
Qin Liuse curled the corners of her lips. Compared to a slave, she really thought too highly of Qingzhu.
She raised her eyes to look at Qingzhu, and saw a hint of displeasure flashing in Qingzhu's eyes.
But since Qingzhu was driven away by Emperor Yongjia, he had to retreat respectfully.
Although he was unwilling, Qin Liuse was the legitimate woman of Emperor Yongjia after all.
Qin Liuse probably also understood what Concubine Xin Shu was thinking, so she sent Qingzhu to Emperor Yongjia and asked her to be the chief maid here.
From the northwest to the capital, she has been served by the most powerful men among the women, which has made her so proud. Her already proud character has become even more annoying.
Qin Liuse had been feeling uncomfortable all morning because of what happened in the Cining Palace.
I felt really unhappy when Qingzhu, such a mean girl, gave me such a cold look.
She glanced at Qingzhu's back as she walked out, then glanced at Emperor Yongjia in front of her, and suddenly something occurred to her. Since she had made herself unhappy, it would be too kind not to take her back. She was unwilling to be a Bodhisattva.
Anyway, she was free now, so Qin Liuse rolled her eyes in her mind, picked up a pair of public chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and fed it to Emperor Yongjia.
She felt annoyed and thought, if Qingzhu were here now, she would serve food to Emperor Yongjia, but could she feed him with her own hands?
Qin Liuse felt unhappy and just wanted to piss her off to death.
Qin Liuse thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Emperor Yongjia, "My coming to Your Majesty's place has disrupted Your Majesty's plan. I don't know how long it will take for the food from the imperial kitchen to arrive. I'm afraid that if I delay Your Majesty's important event, it will be my fault."
In fact, Emperor Yongjia had already eaten his fill. Qin Liuse fed him a bite of sweet and sour pork, pretended to eat, then put down his chopsticks and stopped feeding him.
Qin Liuse went straight to the point and said, "Why don't you let me wait for a while? Your Majesty, go take a bath first, so that you don't have to accompany me in vain. I will not be afraid to sit here."
God knows why she was so scared. She just wanted Emperor Yongjia to come over and let Qingzhu know who Emperor Yongjia listened to more.
Emperor Yongjia looked at Qin Liuse with a raised lip corner, it seemed that he was indeed very busy.
At noon, he would usually just have a quick lunch in the imperial study. But today, he was sweating from practicing boxing in front, so he took some time to return to his palace to eat, change clothes and take a shower.
It won't be long before he has to go out to deal with state affairs, so he is very satisfied with Qin Liuse's understanding.
"Okay, you wait here for a while. The people from the imperial kitchen should be here soon." After Emperor Yongjia said this, he got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
In June, Emperor Yongjia had a hot body and took a bath twice a day.
Qingzhu had indeed prepared everything for him. Inside the bathroom, the wooden tub was filled with water at the right temperature. On the shelf next to it was a bath soap with the scent of plum that Emperor Yongjia preferred.
Cotton handkerchiefs and clean robes were all prepared and neatly arranged.
Qingzhu was a little surprised to see Emperor Yongjia come in, but she lowered her head and felt a little happy, thinking that Emperor Yongjia would listen to her.
She took two steps forward and was about to take off his clothes, but Emperor Yongjia paused, raised his hand to stop her, and said to her, "Go outside and serve Zhaoyi. You don't need to serve here."
Qingzhu didn't expect that she would have to serve Qin Liuse, and felt a little unwilling for a moment.
But Emperor Yongjia had already given the order, and since he was the emperor, she could only obey, so she had to retreat in disappointment.
When he got outside, he heard the little maidservant saying that Qin Zhaoyi was happy and asked the emperor to take a bath first. Only then did the emperor go to the bathroom.
When Qingzhu heard this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.
She asked the maid to serve Qin Liuse and walked out angrily.
After Qingzhu came out of Emperor Yongjia's bathroom, he tidied up the tea set on the table and carried it to the side hall outside.
When he returned to the house, he told Qingcao, "Hurry up and make tea for the emperor. In front, the Concubine Qin is here too."
Qingzhu and Qingcao have now been sent to Emperor Yongjia by Concubine Xin Shu. They are Concubine Xin Shu's right-hand men. When they were in the northwest, they were also the Ninth Prince's right-hand men.
One of them understands the art of making tea, and the other knows a little about pharmacology, but they did not learn it from an elementary school like Zijin did. Instead, Xin Zhaoyuan let them learn it so that the housekeeper would have sensible people.
Qingcao has always been in charge of tea, and Qingzhu is in charge of Emperor Yongjia's medicinal baths. They each perform their duties and become servants that Concubine Xin Shu is able to handle with ease.
After hearing Qingzhu's instructions, Qingcao took the tea set and started making tea for the master in front.
In some respects, Emperor Yongjia was not as fond of literati elegance as the nobles in the capital. He liked to drink heavily and did not like to sip small cups at a time.
So when Qingcao made tea for him, she would first make a large pot and then bring it to him.
Don’t think that making a big pot of tea is as easy as that. It’s not a job that can be done by just putting all the tea leaves in and adding boiling hot water.
If this job was so easy, green grass wouldn't be so useful.
Qingzhu watched Qingcao brew a pot of tea in the special teapot for Emperor Yongjia, and then took a vermicelli white porcelain pot to brew another pot of tea.
She said indignantly, "You are the emperor's maid, not Qin Zhaoyi's. You will not get any good results by being so attentive to her."
Qingzhu meant that she should just make a pot of tea. Qin Zhaoyi would eat whatever the emperor ate. There was no need for so much effort.
