Chapter One I A Fu[1]was not different from any other day In the kitchen, the servants moved to and fro without any hint of hurry Ma pozi,[2] after delivering the required pastries to the neiyuan,[3] caroup of yahuan[4] but her face wasn't looking very well
"Hey, old sister, what's wrong? Why does your face looks terrible?" Another pozi, wearing a dark buttoned jia'ao[5], handed a cup of tea over to the other woyuan[6] to deliver the cheese, how co fei[7] just woke up this h labor servants like us couldn't even enter the yard We only saw one of wang fei's attendants, Yin Liu guniang,[8]" When she spoke to that point, Ma pozi took a long s of tea, looked around at the surroundings and lowered her voice to whipser, "I saw that the expressions of the people of zhengyuan weren't right, so I hurried back"
Hearing this, the pozi ore the lined jacket sighed With an attitude co, she said: "They hadn't even finished taking down the red canopies[9] hanging in the fu yet"
Wang fei had just married into the fu for less than twoye[10] hadn't stepped a foot into the zhengyuan In the last few days of sickness, wang yehad only sat for a period before leaving No wonder the people of zhengyuan weren't looking very well She once had the luck to see wang fei She had been dignified and her appearance had also been beautiful She didn't knohich of those aspects wang ye didn't like
"Don't say nonsense, I just saw one of Fengce fei's[11]yahuancome over" Both of the and went back to their duties
In the zhengyuan, a host of yahuan carefully waited upon the wang fei in herablutions A piece of first-rate silk brushed over fingertips that were as thin as green onions before being set to the side
There wasn't a hint of anger on the face of Qu Qing Ju, unlike the past few days as her black silk flowing freely She lazily took off her wrist a green jade bracelet before casually throwing it into a carved ony box: "This color is too old-fashioned"
Upon hearing this, Jin Zhan paused slightly before waving her hand at the feht before Qu Qing Ju Inside, there were pairs of different bracelets Gold-wrought, pearl-encrusted, jade, of all colors and none of theaze swept across the rows of bracelets In the end, her final choice was an exquisitely carved blood-red jade bracelet that, when contrasted against the pale wrist, was unspeakably beautiful
Seeing the situation, Jin Zhan's expression slightly changedIn the past, wang fei had resented the phoenix-blood jade bangle[12] as being too garish and never worn it Today, she had picked this jade at first glance Thinking about the days sincefu, she felt bitterness in her heart Before entle This would have been a virtue, but in a e into the I Jin Zhan's expression, Qu Qing Ju smiled faintly She stood and spread her arms to let the maids dress her in her handpicked wide-sleeved silk dress[13] It was hest quality of white brocade embroidered with Shu-style[14] red pluh there were real plu in the wind
At the waist, there were a spice bag ele ste soft hair was coiled up into a fei xian ji[16] A vibrant red peach blossom was drawn on the brow Eyebrows likeleaves Lips as red as cherries Just a gli a luan bird[17] and cloud buyao[18] into her hair by herself, Qu Qing Ju slowly stood and enigmatically smiled as she looked out the winder, "This time should be the time to pay respects"[19]
A few steps away fro this, forced a s fei, since you were ill the last few days, wang ye told the houyuan[20] so the qieshi[21] wouldn't disturb your rest "
"Oh," Gently caressing the red-stranded jade earrings on her earlobes, Qu Qing Ju leisurely sat down and adjusted into a somewhat comfier position She accepted the ater that Yin Liu handed over to rinse her throat Ptting the lid back on the cup before wiping the corner of her mouth, she said: "Since that is the case, send so fei[22] has just recovered and has terribly missed all the ce fei and the shiqie[23]"
The four da yahuan,[24]upon hearing this, exchanged glances between the fei's personality upon waking had changed soout of thefei doesn't see up, I don't knohy"
"In this wang fu, everybody shoang fei respect on the surface but in their private ti favour with that ce fei in Xi Yuan[25]Wang fei has been married for twoye stayed in zhengyuan, he's spend all his ti fei" Yin Liu said with creased brows and a quiet voice, "That Feng ce fei has such an attitude She really thinks that she's worth so what Yin Liu was saying, looked around surreptitiously and after not finding anyone in the surroundings, ca ye favors[27] Feng ce fei, he still gives wang fei the respect she's accorded Don'tfei"
"This is called respect," Yin Liu snorted Thinking about her hed in helplessness, "Whatever, Jin Zhan and I will go over to Feng and Jiang ce fei The second-rank yahuans can go to the other shiqie"
Mu Jin, who hadn't spoken, nodded: "That's very good Bai Luo and Pu Er are enough to invite Luo shi[28] and Han shi"

"Such a good wang fu's kitchen," Qu Qing Ju nonchalantly leaned back on her seat Under the confused gazes of the others, her face darkened and then her hand swept the goblet of wine-stewed pig shoulder to the floor Very quickly, the room became saturated with the sed to respond They didn't knoang fei, who had a personality as soft as mud, would suddenly act up and so nobodyfei, cannot coe eyes narrowed She stood and looked at the people in the room, "Or is it that you all feel that it is natural and proper for the kitchen to slight aze, everybody shook and erto drag the kitchen servants away
