Chapter 24 Medicinal Musk

In the middle of the night, even the show girls who were watching the excitement couldn't resist yawning and went back to their rooms to sleep. Fulan finally let Mo Xi go, but told her that she would get up to embroider at nine o'clock tomorrow. Her hands were almost broken.

After less than three hours of rest, they had to get up to embroider. It seemed that they were well prepared and would not let go until they tortured themselves to death.

When she returned to her room and fell on the bed, Mo Xi's whole body ached. She raised her head and stubbornly refused to let the tears fall. This was just the beginning. If she started crying now, she would probably have to cry every day in the future. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

, she must seize this rare rest time.

But as soon as he lay down, someone knocked on the door again. Mo Xi thought it was Fulan and the others, but when he opened the door, he saw that it was Grandma Wang beside the Queen Mother.

"My mistress has been wronged today. The Queen Mother asked me to bring this medicine to my mistress." Grandma Wang said straight to the point and handed a box of ointment to Mo Xi.

"Mo Xi thanked the Queen Mother." Mo Xi wanted to bow down, but her body was so weak that she almost fell down, but Grandma Wang quickly helped her with her quick eyes and hands.

"Young master, you don't have to be polite. I'm afraid the queen will often bully you in the future. The queen mother hopes that your little master can endure the calm for a while," said Grandma Wang.

"Mo Xi will remember the Queen Mother's will and will never be dissatisfied."

After Aunt Wang left, Mo Xi opened the box of medicine. It had a very light fragrance. It seemed that it was medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The Queen Mother came to deliver the medicine at this time, which was a good time to win people's hearts.

When Grandma Wang returned to Changle Palace at night, the Queen Mother was taking a bath. The Queen Mother suffered from insomnia, so she had to take a hot bath every day before she could fall asleep. The Queen Mother, who was nearly forty years old, still had smooth and elastic skin, even though she was separated by gauze.

Aunt Wang Curtain saluted the Queen Mother and said:

"Queen Mother, it has been sent over."

"Well, how is she?" The Queen Mother poured some water on her arm, and the water made a gurgling sound.

"I'm so haggard, the queen is too cruel," said Grandma Wang.

"Zuo Li wanted to kill her in Zhongcui Palace so that she would never have a chance to get close to the emperor. Little did she know that there were so many women in the harem. If she could harm just one Moxi, she could also harm hundreds of thousands of others.

?" The Queen Mother said in a contemptuous tone.

"The Queen Mother is right, but Mo Xi is very open-minded and has no complaints." Grandma Wang thought Mo Xi would cry, but she was very quiet.

"Such people are either really cowardly and incompetent, or they are very scheming and can tolerate it. Let's go and see if she has used the medicine tomorrow." After saying this, the Queen Mother asked the maid to dress her, lifted the gauze curtain and came out to say to Grandma Wang:

“Is the portion big enough?”

"It will be enough for you to return to the Queen Mother." Grandma Wang helped the Queen Mother walk towards the inner palace.

"The Ai family doesn't want to fill her with red flowers and make her hate the Ai family, so they will give this medicine to her when there is a chance in the future. If she doesn't use it, then she doesn't need to keep it. Let's get rid of her with the Queen's help.

"The Queen Mother said leisurely, as if she was mentioning something insignificant.

At nine o'clock the next day, Mo Xi dragged his sore body and sat in front of the embroidery frame. The pattern to be embroidered had been assigned early in the morning. Mo Xi opened the pattern and saw that it was a picture of a hundred sons and a thousand grandsons!

The time given is two hours. Even a person who is in good health cannot finish embroidering this picture of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren in just two hours, not to mention that Mo Xi now has to spend a lot of effort to even hold a needle.

, and how can the patterns embroidered by trembling and trembling hands look good?

If the needle is dropped too many times, the embroidered cloth made of fine satin will leave pinholes. Mo Xi has to hold the reverse side of the embroidered cloth under the embroidery frame with one hand and embroider with the other. His trembling hands are not heavy, and he often

If you prick your finger, you must remove it immediately, otherwise the blood beads will stain the embroidered cloth, and you will be scolded again.

Within a moment, her fingers were full of pinholes, her arms were sore again, she had exerted too much force and even her back was covered with sweat. She used her sleeves to wipe away the sweat drops on her forehead, fearing that they would fall on the embroidered cloth.

Two hours passed by in the blink of an eye. Mo Xi's eyes were already sore and he couldn't even lift his arms. The picture of Hundreds of Sons and Thousands of Grandsons was even more crookedly embroidered. Fulan held her embroidery cloth and sneered: "Look at it.

, this is what she embroidered, she is indeed a lowly singer with no education at all!"

Mo Xi clasped his hands in a dignified manner and said calmly: "Auntie was wrong. Mo Xi is a musician, not a singer."

"You dare to talk back, you don't really think of yourself as a noble person!" Fulan scolded, throwing the embroidered cloth in Mo Xi's face, making everyone laugh.

Jin Zixin couldn't bear to watch from the side, so he went up to Fulan and stuffed a piece of broken silver into Fulan's hand and said, "Auntie, sister Mo Xi may not be good at female work. How about I teach her."

"Little Master Zixin, good people in this palace can't do anything casually. Since you said so, you two don't need to have lunch today. When will you finish embroidering the picture of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren here?

." With that said, Fulan put the silver into his sleeve and went out with the other beautiful ladies.

"Sister, how are you?" As soon as Jin Zixin saw Fulan go out, he helped Mo Xi sit down and wiped her cold sweat, and asked worriedly.

Mo Xi slowly sat on the soft stool holding the embroidery frame, then raised his head and asked Jin Zixin: "Why do you want to help me?"

"Because, because I want to learn pipa from you, and you were raped by Aunt Fu last night... it must be very hard for you, so I want to help you." Jin Zixin said hesitantly, probably because he was afraid of mentioning what happened last night again.

This makes Mo Xi sad. Based on the information sent by Shadow, it seems that she really doesn't understand what will happen if she offends the Queen.

"That's all, let's finish embroidering this pattern first." Mo Xi didn't want to think about that now. It was business to deal with the red girl in front of him.

Jin Zixin sat next to her, and the two of them were stroking the threads and stitches. It was much faster with her help. After embroidering for a long time, Jin Zixin suddenly frowned and asked, "Sister, do you smell anything?"

Mo Xi still held up the needle and thread and asked, "What?"

Jin Zixin smelled it twice more, and finally took Mo Xi's hand and put it to his nose and smelled it before saying in surprise: "Sister, why do you use musk to make a sachet?"

The hand holding the needle trembled and almost dropped. Even her breathing was a little short. She suppressed the shock in her heart and said with a smile: "My sister has a good nose. I just like the smell."

"My grandfather was a doctor when he was young. I grew up with my grandfather. He never let me get close to this thing, so I was deeply impressed. Sister, if you use this musk too much, it will cause infertility. You must not use it too much." Jin Zixin

But he said it seriously.

"I know, thank you sister for your concern, I will never use it again. Let's finish this embroidery quickly, otherwise we won't even have dinner." Mo Xi looked at Jin Zixin, she had lowered her head to embroider, and her chubby face was very cute.

, some hot weather made her face turn red like an apple, making people want to take a bite.
