Although the bathroom was luxuriously furnished, the experience of bathing this time was exceedingly terrible for Gu Yunxi.
Nanny Yan and Nanny Gui indeed resented Gu Yunxi now, perhaps because they had gotten reprimanded by the servant for Gu Yunxi's intentional frame-up.
After Gu Yunxi became quiet, the two began to serve her to wash, and their actions became even ruder.
Nanny Yan left for a moment, and when she came back, she held a peony-patterned oval white porcelain box in her hand.
She opened it, inside of which was some soap powder scented with hosta flowers.
Nanny Yan reached into the box with her big hand, grabbed a handful of soap powder, and smeared directly on the top of Gu Yunxi's head.
Then, Nanny Gui strode forward. She inserted her thick fingers into Gu Yunxi's hair, scratching violently.
Gu Yunxi couldn't help but wince for their torture.
Initially, her eyes got
West out of the Baishui Gate, thousands of miles away, was the boundary of Udan. Udan was a powerful country more than 20 years ago. It united with many small countries around it and marched eastward with 100,000 troops in five routes, invading the Central Plains' territory.At that time, it was an unprecedented and long-lasting war.To drive the strong enemy, the Country of Dayi had sent several diplomatic envoys and eloquent people to lobby primarily, combat as a supplement, which had retreated three troops.The remaining two armies amount to fifty thousand, precisely the strength of the country of Udan.In the end, the Country of Dayi adopted the strategy of facing the enemy head-on. To boost the morale of the army, the first emperor of Dayi, Huanan Hongyi, regardless of the opposition of his officials, led the army to the front.Outside the Baishui Gate, the two armies of Dayi and Udan fought for many days at the b
Ming Lan sat up straight and watched in amazement as Gu Yunxi stood up the stick, poking the round head of the stick in front of his eyes."My little darling, this is... not for hitting.""Puff!" He also found it very funny. Lying on the bed sideways, Ming Lan covered his face with one hand and spread his fingers to cover his helpless expression.Gu Yunxi's back was tingled with laughter, so she withdrew the stick, turned it around in her hand, and looked at it carefully.The stick was about a foot long and about two inches wide, with a hazy, smoky sheen budding from the sun.Holding in hand, it did not feel like cold jade, but it was smooth and oily and felt warm and delicate. It looked like a precious jade material.But it was so ugly!"What the hell is this?"Gu Yunxi muttered with disgust on her face and looked at Ming Lan. From the other side of the bed, he rolled his eyes co
The pungent smell of green onions choked Xiao Nianzi's nose and eyes, and he sneezed a few times. Then he turned back with difficulty, looked at Gu Yunxi with red and swollen eyes, and asked, "Oh, my little madam, why do you chop so many green onions?""To make shortening green onion pancakes of course!"Gu Yunxi made a valiant attempt to resist the astringent discomfort in her eyes, and put on a joyful face. She said in a low and muffled voice which sounded extremely cute with the handkerchief covering on her face, "Although the green onion smells so spicy, if it is baked into a pie with duck fat and wheat flour, it will taste crispy, soft and so delicious.""But... "Xiao Nianzi looked worried and spoke haltingly.Ignorance could always be forgiven.He expected that Gu Yunxi was the new comer and was not familiar with the Master's eating habits.The Master had strict requirements on diet and
Hearing that Gu Yunxi was clamoring for dessert after dinner in the room, Ming Lan looked towards Xiao Nianzi with resentful cold light in his eyes."What's the dessert she talked about?"Xiao Nianzi gave a sickly smile, shook his head and replied."Master, it is a kind of fruit.""Fruit?"Ming Lan's eyes widened immediately and his face darkened."Isn't it durian?"Durian was a kind of hot fruit brought by the envoys of Man Lajia, an island country in the east, when they sent out to Da Yi.Its husk was hard and it was densely spiky, while its flesh was soft and sweet. However, it had a strange and lingering odor.One day two years ago, when the emperor Jingxiao, who had tasted the sweetness, took half of a durian to Yongning Palace, the Imperial Noble Concubine was frowned by its smell at first. But after that, she gorged herself and kept praising its delicious taste
Maybe because Shiliu was born ugly, when she shouted in scariness at Gu Yunxi, her expression appeared even uglier. As expected, she stopped Gu Yunxi from resisting.Just as she stopped struggling, a maid beside her stretched out her big hand to buckle Gu Yunxi's jaw, forcing her small mouth to open."Umm..."A depressed groan rose from Gu Yunxi's throat. Her expression was extremely painful.Seeing this, Shiliu was satisfied. Her smile appeared grimmer.Her twisted waist bent forward and arched like a straight hook. Smiling coldly with teeth bared, Shiliu took the porcelain basin closer to Gu Yunxi's face."There is plenty of betel nut alkali water here. We specially warmed it for you to clean your mouth and body. Please enjoy it!"Gu Yunxi opened her eyes wide in astonishment. She gazed primly at the water in the big porcelain basin to fall upon her face.She wanted to shout and
Ming Lan's Mansion in Capital.Throughout the afternoon, Gu Yunxi was supervised by Shiliu, who forced her to soak in a spiced bath to cleanse her body thoroughly.During the period, the bathwater and coal were changed four times.Xiao Nianzi once instructed Shiliu and the others not to spare water, charcoal, or spices. In short, they were to get rid of the odor of onion and garlic on Gu Yunxi.The servants in the Mansion were classified. Xiao Nianzi was a close attendant for Master Ming Lan, so he naturally ranked much higher than those who labored in the kitchen.The Master had just warned him that he wished not to smell the odor when he saw Gu Yunxi again.If Nianzi failed at the task, he would be "beheaded" by the Master.Hence, when he dispensed jobs to Shiliu and the others, he naturally passed down the order to the lower ranks."Beheaded" was merely a way of expression, mea
Shiliu closed the door.Returning to the table, she gave a glimpse to the green cup with her beady eyes and scorned."Well, well, aren't you enjoying yourself here?It's getting late. Drink the juice and get to bed. I need to clean up and rest as well.Master Ming might come to your room later."Gu Yunxi's back tightened as her mind was lost in a turmoil.Since she came here, she had used all kinds of tricks to guard against Ming Lan, who had adapted his strategies accordingly.Nonetheless, he had not taken advantage of her.Right now it was the critical period for her to escape from Ming's mansion, and she must not make any mistake.Gu Yunxi cheered up for herself and finally calmed down.Grabbing Shiliu with her little hand, Gu Yunxi raised her thin eyebrow at her. She put on a nervous look on her delicate face and begged Shiliu."Good sist
The resplendent red blaze of flames above the Eastern Residence gradually weakened, and the slanting column of smoke became thinner and thinner.A servant came over. He bowed at Ming Lan's feet and lowered his head."Master, the blaze is under control."After listening, Ming Lan raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a short smile. In an instant, he raised his eyes, which were full of sinister and sharp light.Looking down at Qinger, who was still unconscious, he curled his thin lips to make a weird smile.He slightly raised his head in proud and said with his hands clasped behind the back."Thanks for your hard work tonight. This woman on the ground now is your reward!"Upon hearing his words, those guards immediately understood. They piled forward and surrounded Qinger at once.Gu Yunxi felt a ringing in her ears and her thoughts all went in a muddle as if she had suffered a st
Terra Nova's ninth year of the Daedalic Years, early spring.Kamakawa Yusui is shocked and annoyed when he receives news of a coup at the Imperial Palace and the imminent ascension of Prince Fuchi Yasutaka to the throne as the next Emperor.Since the Kunhuang Island and Huananhe lost a battle, Kamachi sailors suffered a heavy blow, Kamakawa was forced to take the remaining troops retreated to the south of Kunhuang Island, Tsuneoshima stationed.Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to avoid the previous shame and had been intensifying the study of the new combat program, the country had a great turnaround.Can't think too much, Kamakawa by water immediately point all 10,000 Ying army, lead five Anzai ship and a number of ships, with enough artillery Furlong machine fire speed back to Ying, swore to fight with and Shigeru cuts a high and low winners and losers.One night, as Kamakawa's fleet secretly approached Mizumura Harbor in Kyoto, a thick fog sudde
In the banquet hall of the palace, the fire and candles were bright, four dancing girls lined up, green silk buns, colorful makeup, silk sleeves fluttering and swaying, dancing in a slow and rhythmic dance.Two or three male musicians are not far from them, playing strings, flute, drums, each person's face is calm and solemn, but in the eyes of God duh, seems to have the essence of the aura of a hidden flash.The dinner was organized to celebrate the fifteenth birthday of Emperor Fuchi Masaharu, but due to the defeat of the Terra Nova army in Weihai, many of the entertainments were temporarily canceled, and only the traditional Yehime songs and dances were retained.Profound Ya Qing was the main character of tonight's banquet, at this time he was wearing brand new scarlet damask silk clothes kneeling above the chief belonging to him, looking quiet and enjoying the songs and dances.On the seats to his left were the former Emperor's side consort, Daiji, with h
Terra Nova, Kyoto.As night falls, in a short house in the civilian area, the blind man is anxiously waiting for his mother-in-law to return home from work.She hadn't been back for a day and a night, and that definitely hadn't happened in the past.Could it be that the Ninth Princess has encountered something on her end?Rustling footsteps stopped unexpectedly at the door.The blind man's sense of hearing is much more sensitive than normal people, his eyebrows slightly gathered, and without moving, he got up and lightly rubbed his steps to the wooden cabinet, and touched a sharp dagger from the top of the cabinet and quietly hid it in the sleeve of his coat.The door of the room opened, and by the sound of the footsteps coming in there should be two of them."You're Suigo Show's man, aren't you?"The one who asked the question in Terra Nova was a young man.The blind man turned his head sideways, carefully recognizing the source
A cold wind cut through the long, narrow corridor, and the lights flickered dimly.The man's ragged gasps continued to spill out of the closed wooden lattice barricade door, accompanied by the occasional few hushed cries of pain from the woman."Haru, come on, I'll accompany you to your room."Looking at Yuan Ya Qing's stagnant and godless clear face, Yun Shi's heart seized more than just pain as she tugged on one of his arms.The commotion in the room was in no way suitable for a teenager to be listening in.The teenager's eyes were lax as he took two steps with her, speaking quietly in Chinese: ."...Master, you have to trust me as well...it wasn't Mother and I's idea to march into Da Yi."Yun Shi suddenly became miserable inside, opened and closed his nose and said."I believed you, never had a doubt, and it was for that reason that I traveled across the river and across the sea to meet you in person in Terra Nova."The two co
"Yue Xilou, you traitor shall not die!"Qi and blood surged, and a strong hatred that had never been felt before invaded Yun Shi's consciousness.She jumped up with her eyes heavy with red and lunged at her enemy with all her might, reaching for his neck.Yue Xilou laughed scornfully and kicked her backwards with a flying leg.Yun Shi fell out onto the hard floor a few feet away, choking on blood and letting out a pained _groan_.Wamochi stretched his neck to look at it, grinning imploringly.Tsukishiro looks at the samurai on either side :)"Don't just stand there, take her down and keep her under good guard, she'll be of great use in the future.""Slow down ......"Yun Shi forced to endure the pain of bones about to break trembling climbed up, far away from looking at the abyss Ya Qing, the expression of desolate:"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, please send the counselor."Empress Yuanya immediately s
The fact that the mute applicant, Yun, who was originally scrubbed out of the test, has been recognized by the Emperor as the Imperial Chef, shocks the entire Grand Cookhouse early the next morning.The cooks and handymen who had looked down on her earlier were now gathered in front of the stove in the cooking room, watching intently as she operated it herself.Even in the past days always rigid board a big white face of apricot leaf female master, this time all people before and after chasing after Yun Shi everywhere running, flattery, mouth like a river, all do their best to please. At sunrise, Yunshi was wearing a green coat and pants, put on a large apron to the stove to do the work.With white flour rolled out and crabmeat and shrimp mince and red fish roe in the filling, the meat buns are pinched out with absolutely thirty-three folds.Chicken breast, corn and green beans are sauteed in oil, thickened with soy sauce and pan-fried wine, and wrapped in so
He is, after all, the Emperor!Following the direction of Master Apricot Leaf's kneeling, Yun Shi looked at the teenager, his eyes filled with astonishment.The standing tasseled crown and the yellow coat are indeed the symbols of the imperial nobility of Terra Nova.But, this young man, he is actually the Emperor."Mute, why don't you kneel down!"The apricot leaf matron raised her eyes to the unresponsive Gu Yunshi and chided."Eh, forget it, forget it ...... Master Chief, you get up too."Meeting Yun Shi's eyes, the teenager's face flushed red and blushed as he explained: ."Granny, I don't mean to deceive you ...... I, I didn't eat well in the evening meal, and I was really hungry just now."Yun Shi's complexion returned to normal, pursed her lips and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.Heh, how could she mind?She was begging for it!The hostess rises obsequiously and comes up to nod at the tee
The night fell slowly, blotting out the last rays of red light in the sky.The entire Western Garden was silent.Cloudseeker stood in the tiny compound under the endless sky, raising his head to look up at the dark inky colors of the night sky.In the field of vision, that heavy darkness seems to carry some kind of adsorption magic, only teaching people to look at a glance, want to look through.She failed the test to become a chef and lost her chance to enter the palace and meet the Emperor.Such a result directly disrupted all her latter plans.After losing her temper for a while, she thought of Hua Nanhe, who is still fighting in the battlefield, Yingyu, who is trapped in the palace of Dayi, and brother Mu Xiu, who is waiting for them to return home.Yun Shi's eyes burned as she quickly regained her fighting spirit.Now is not the time to be discouraged, since one way does not work, then find another way.The hour was already
Terra Nova, outside the Abyssinian Palace, West Court.The large cooking room was busy with players in white shirts and blue pants around wooden cases and stoves.In five days, Emperor Fuchiya's fifteenth birthday will be celebrated, and not only will there be a large-scale celebration dinner at the palace, but an all-day parade and festival will be organized throughout Kyoto."Faster, faster, the hour for the king to pass the meal is almost here, and later on your handmade delicacies will be the basis for whether or not you can stay as a loose cook."The woman in charge, Apricot Leaf, is in her thirties, with a purple shirt and pants, wandering around every corner of the cooking room with a stern look, urging the contestants with her mouth, and repeatedly scrutinizing their cooking techniques with her cold and warm gaze.The twenty casual chef applicants came from Terra Nova folk, both men and women, and most of their referrals were cooks and assistant
