Chapter 6
I was sleeping well and was woken up in the middle of the night. Everyone climbed off the kang with their hands and feet, and stood in front of the kang in panic. The courageous one asked, "Madam, have you left the water?"
The old palace maid looked like cold frost and glanced at the person who asked, "Are you sleeping awkward? Why are you walking on?"
Once you enter the palace and have little qualifications, you have to be convinced. Everyone is lifted up, and even if you are confused, you have to stand up and be scolded.
The old palace maid pulled the three names aside, then turned around and looked at everyone's faces one by one, "I really didn't expect that she looked like a person. Who knew that in the middle of the night, she was the King of Mountains. Some were grinding teeth, some were talking in the sleep, and some were hysterical and punching... Why? Your place is not big enough, so you ran to the palace to practice?"
It was only then that everyone understood that it was suddenly screaming, because of this reason.
But no one can make his own decisions in this way, and it is really not worthy of being taught a lesson because of this.
The old palace maid has been adjusting newcomers for so many times, how could they not know what they were thinking? Then he said coldly: "It's useless to make trouble. Rules are rules and you can't make mistakes at all. I remember telling you earlier that in this palace, every word and action must comply with the norms, speak less during the day, and do more badly during the night, and do not hit the palace god when sleeping at night. Unfortunately, you didn't hear my words in your ears. I had been waiting for you for half an hour at the door and called the three names. It seems that they are a problem caused by the womb. You can't do it when you are in the womb. You can't get out of the palace when it dawns. The rest, get up now and carefully your hands, feet, mouth and nose. At night, don't tilt your teeth, smack your lips, fart, even if you sleep with one eye open, don't fall into this shortcoming. Turn around and drive them out of the palace. It's embarrassing and can't find your in-laws' house, and the matter will be big."
This is true. Because the signs were banned when sleeping at night, it was really bad to spread. So the three girls who were about to be driven out cried and begged the old palace maid, saying, "Madam, we are not alert at night, we are wrong. Please give us another chance. If we do it again tomorrow night, we will have no shame to beg the maid and go out quietly."
But the old palace maid was merciless at all, "If you don't have any movement, I will be responsible, but the three of you joined together and almost lifted the roof, which was impossible to keep. Okay, let alone the rules in the palace are bigger than the sky, and I want to keep my head for dinner." After that, he raised his chin to the grand palace maids next to him, letting them cry, the grand palace maids forced the people out with a sense of arrogant spirit.
A mysterious catastrophe, the remaining people survived the disaster. Yixing only realized that it was so difficult to retain the qualification to serve someone.
The old palace maid hummed twice, and her face applied powder under the oil lamp, looking so white.
"I've said everything I should say. If anyone commits it again next, the rattan will fall directly onto it."
No one dared to disobey. He stood upright, lowered his head and replied, "Yeah".
At this point, the admonition in the middle of the night was over.
When the old palace maid left, everyone dared to breathe a sigh of relief, but no one dared to say a word, climbed onto the bed and lying into the quilt. He lies back to the sky and turns sideways, worried that he will grind his teeth, so he pads the grooves with the corners of the quilt.
Hengshu was very uncomfortable sleeping that night. At the fourth day of the next day, he was urged to get up again. Yixing mixed in the crowd to wash up and went to the kitchen again. While carrying a bowl, she turned her head and looked out. The morning in February was still a little cold, and a layer of mist settled under the eaves. The figures coming and going across from him fell into the milk tea like a flowery date cake.
"Dad, I'll get you a plate of Nanjiao (Suzhoujiao) and eat it quickly." Yin Zhu pushed the dish in front of Yixing, "I heard that the food in the palace is different from that outside, and I don't know how to mess with us when I look back. Don't care whether it's delicious or not, and you have to be full."
Yixing nodded and said sadly: "My niece was full of displeasure on the day she went out. I also said, "What's the sad thing about entering the palace to be an empress? Now look, it's not easy to live well in this palace."
Yin Zhu asked: "Do you regret it?"
I thought that the spoiled old lady could really savor the bitterness of life, but she never thought that she would say no, "I want to know more about what it feels like to be a queen."
Yin Zhu smiled, shaking her head while smiling, "I dare to guarantee you, you don't understand what is the most important thing about being an empress."
Yi Xing really never thought about it, with a look of calmness on his face, "Do you know?"
Yin Zhu looked around and said with a deep voice: "In this palace, except for the Queen Mother and the Emperor, we are actually slaves. We do miscellaneous work and serve the masters. The first thing we need to do is serve the emperor."
Speaking of the emperor, Yixing really doesn't take it seriously. He had had two fights earlier, but he didn't realize that he was three-headed and six-armed, but he blushed easily and looked like a girl. Later, he heard that he had become a treasure, and his image became a little taller in her heart. But the next year he married her niece, and he was shorter in his seniority. In her opinion, he turned back to the little boy who was peeing randomly.
Anyway, I think it’s ridiculous when I think about it. Yixing also hated him. How much mistake can the queen be? He wants to depose the queen? Although he saved his life, it was finally a blessing in disgrace. But isn’t it okay to return the Shang family after his wife? Why did he send her to such a faraway Waiba Temple to practice?
So there is not much to talk about favors in the imperial family. She is determined to climb up because she can never think of any other way except this road, and she has made up her unlucky brother and niece.
Yixing was about to answer the conversation, and Cherry came over next to her and Yin Zhu, and he said happily: "I'm so lucky. The master who was in the Desheng Building in our alley was here to be a chef in the palace. He recognized me and gave me two cakes. You should eat it soon, so that others would not see it."
It was nothing unusual to say that this bee cake was, and Yixing didn't like to eat it at home. But in the palace, this bee cake was at least on the dinner table of the young masters, so the palace maids who just entered the palace really didn't have the blessing to eat it.
Yixing asked: "How do you give it to us, what about you?"
Cherry said: "I have just eaten this. I'll give this to my uncle and Yin Zhu sister. You have enough food and can be a job after you go back."
After all, I am a child, and I can't help but omit it. I just want two pieces of it on one end, and I say I've eaten it on the other end.
I think it's because people are in contact with each other, but they're all right. Rich people have valuable exchanges, but those who don't have money have to exchange for friendship. Yixing is very grateful for Cherry's heart, but he doesn't plan to eat her things. He smiled and said, "I, Qing, don't like to eat pastries, so you keep it yourself. It's the time to grow up, don't lose money."
Just then, a great palace maid came to greet him, so she quickly put down her chopsticks, hurriedly carried her robe and walked out.
The beautiful girl who had just entered the palace was not yet the time to actually assign errands, and now she was just learning the rules with her aunt. Among the girls who were not selected, there were many girls with good backgrounds and good teaching at home. She thought it was not difficult to deal with it, but she only practiced her demeanor and bowed down at night.
"Oh, this body is not mine anymore..."
"If I had known this, I would rather not come into the palace."
He kept crying everywhere, pounding his waist and rubbing his legs, and laying all over the kang.
Cherry and Yixing were separated by several bunks. At the end of the day, she was young and had a round body. When someone was hurting her vitality, she crawled to Yixing and said flatteringly: "Dad, are you exhausted? I will loosen your muscles and bones for you."
Yixing wanted to refuse, but she had no choice but to take action without saying anything. The child's likes and dislikes were not concealed. Yixing was moved and felt distressed, and said warmly: "Everyone is a newcomer, and you have no one to pair up. We are willing to take you with you, so you don't have to please us."
Cherry said no, "I know you and Sister Yinzhu treat me well, but I am alone and have nothing to do for you. I only have the strength to give me the work of getting water and washing clothes in the future. I just want you not to think that I am stupid. There is something I haven't done well. You two teach me, it's better than me eating my aunt's mat."
Alas, such a happy child is so heartbreaking. Yixing and Yin Zhu looked at each other and held her hand, "We are scolded by our aunt, so we can teach you. If you don't dislike us, we'll be together in the future. The palace maids need two people to act, and the three of us will be able to be evenly connected whenever they have something to do. It's a help and a convenient place for us. What do you think?"
Cherry was overjoyed and grabbed their hands and said, "Thank you, I grew up short of weight at home, but I didn't expect that someone would help me when I entered the palace. Daddy, you are my dear dad, I'll kowtow to you..."
Cherry was about to bow down when she spoke, but was held back by Yin Zhu and whispered: "You can't kowtow this head. The master kowtowed to you. No one can tell you gossip. You are grateful to your uncle, just know what to do, and your face is still the same as usual, ah?"
"Hey." Cherry nodded happily and then came to beat Yin Zhu's legs again.
Yin Zhu pushed him a few times, but he really couldn't push him away, so she went there. Before going to bed, she said, "Those who chose the three-choice sign that day will be chosen in two days. They will be chosen by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and we will be chosen by the Madam Yan who is in charge. Madam Yan chose the ones she thought were smart from the new palace maids and sent them to the palaces for the masters to take the lords. The Madam Yan left the people and assigned them to the little masters who were short of people... So whether we can take a step forward depends on Madam Yan." After saying that, he lowered his voice and three heads gathered together, "I heard from Chunshou, who was standing in the shift today that there have always been palace maids to bribe Madam Yan. Madam Yan recognizes money but not people. If he gets the benefits of others, sooner or later, he will think of a way to send you up."
Yixing began to think about it. Such bribes, which cost fifty taels to kill a head of one person. His 200 taels of silver bill was enough for three people.
However, the idea was wonderful, but the change caught people off guard. Yixing's wealth was only a little bit. After all, there were limited things that could be brought into the palace outside, and she had to go through the search level. She was carried in the sock tube to leave behind this little money.
After arranging to sleep in the Datong Shop, she outsourced oil paper in the silver notes and tried every means to stuff them into the cracks of the bricks under the mat. She thought it was foolproof, but just when she was about to cut the silver notes out and clear the relationship, she found that the silver notes disappeared.
