Hong Bingying pulled the palace maid's clothes on her body, she still felt that this dress felt awkward on her body, the tight skirt and high soles on the lower half of her body made him unable to step away, as if half of her body was held by a thread, so that she couldn't walk with her accustomed stride at all.

Pulling the hem of her skirt again, revealing her white calves, Hong Bingying looked at the sky outside.

This is the third day she has stayed in the palace, if she didn't have any scruples, Hong Bingying planned to go out yesterday to see if she could find some clues about her mother, but unfortunately, there was a bit of movement in the palace yesterday, and there was an earthquake, so although Hong Bingying didn't see some serious stewards and eunuchs Lin Bo, nor did she see Princess Peony and Lu Tao, even if she swaggered out, she would not be discovered, but she still stayed quietly in the courtyard and didn't go out.

This is also Miss Hong's extra heart because of the accident that happened before, she really doesn't want to be a hero anymore, those two days of being frightened and afraid that she couldn't even sleep, completely smashed Hong Bingying's heroine dream, and the residue left behind also revealed the sharp sharpness of each side, Hong Bingying was afraid of being stabbed by them.

Until midnight, the movement outside stopped, but fortunately, it didn't seem to care about the small courtyard where Hong Bingying was hiding, and no one was interested in coming in to investigate, which made Hong Bingying breathe a sigh of relief.

Today is much better, Hong Bingying took advantage of the day to walk around, the huge palace seemed to be much quieter than when she first came, and no matter how Hong Bingying walked, she didn't meet anyone, whether it was a palace maid or a eunuch, it seemed that they had disappeared from around this gorgeous building.

If Hong Bingying hadn't found the nearby imperial dining room, it is estimated that she would not be thinking about finding clues left by her mother now.

Hong Bingying thought silently: It's not that she has to run around, she is really hungry and ran out to find food.

It was still daytime, but Hong Bingying was a little hesitant, although she was in the palace, she didn't know how to find the clues that her mother had left here.

Mother is a member of the royal family? A little bit of bare makes Hong Bingying scratch her head, she can be called a person in the royal family, whether it is a princess, a county lord or something else, she is probably a member of the royal family, if there is no restriction on gender, it will probably be even more troublesome.

Hong Bingying shook his head and hurriedly walked out, he wanted to find a breakthrough point while it was still dark, even if there was no breakthrough point, it would be good to find someone to ask.

Yesterday, Hong Bingying was still worried about being discovered by the people around her, and today she can't wait to find someone, she can only say that the opportunities in life are really ever-changing, and she can't predict it.

Walking to the mouth of an alley, Hong Bingying heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the corner in front of her, she was startled, looked left and right, and then pushed open the door next to her and got in, only leaving a gap in the red gate.

After hiding in the gap, Hong Bingying cautiously looked out, and soon, a team of black-clothed people riding tall horses rushed through the alleyway, and the leader glanced in the direction of Hong Bingying, and the sharpness in his eyes was amazing.

Hong Bingying turned around and hid behind the door, her heart was almost jumping out of her chest, she took a few breaths before suppressing the throbbing in her heart, and when she listened carefully, the sound of horses' hooves had gradually faded away, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, are you the palace maid there?"

"Ahh

The little girl on the opposite side, who looked to be only more than ten years old, was also startled by Hong Bingying, she took a few steps back, and one accidentally fell to the ground.

The two successive frightes took Hong Bingying twice as long to calm down, and she looked at the little girl sitting on the ground with some annoyance, not that the little girl scared herself.

Miss Hong Bingying was annoyed, I don't know when she was so timid, thinking that she was the eldest lady of the Black Tiger Hall who was not afraid of heaven and earth! What kind of scene have you never seen?!

The little girl sitting on the ground was wearing a palace maid's costume that was one size smaller, but she still looked a little loose, Hong Bingying stretched out her hand to the little girl: "You didn't fall in pain, did you?"

The little girl reached out and grabbed Hong Bingying's hand, stood up with Hong Bingying's strength, and touched her buttocks with a little blush: "No...... No...... Sister, what's your name?"

Hong Bingying looked at the blush on both sides of the little girl's cheeks, and suddenly felt that this little girl was really cute, she reached out and touched the little girl's hair: "My name is Hong Bingying, what about you?"

The little girl showed a big little face: "Sister Hong! My name is Xiu'er, and I am the palace maid of Biluo Palace! Sister Hong, where are you the palace maid?"

Hong Bingying was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly remembered that she never seemed to have asked Lu Tao or Princess Peony what the original place was called. Looking at the little girl's eyes full of curiosity, Hong Bingying touched her face: "Haha...... Let's not talk about that, Xiu'er, do you know what happened yesterday? I seem to hear a lot of movement!"

Sure enough, the palace maid named Xiu'er was quickly distracted by Miss Hong Bingying's question, and she opened her mouth slightly: "Ahhh

"The emperor is gone?" Hong Bingying was confused: "How could the emperor be gone?"

"I don't know. Xiu'er stared at a pair of confused big eyes: "Sister Juan'er told me so, I'll remember it!" I like Sister Juan'er the most, she will always find a way to leave me some delicious food, and let me eat it in the evening, so that I won't be hungry in the middle of the night." ”

"Who is Sister Juan'er?" Hong Bingying felt like she was about to go crazy: "Is she here now?"

"No, Sister Juan'er and Miss left together, and they haven't been back for a day. Xiu'er said in her mouth, tears began to roll in her eyes, as if she was going to stay in the next moment, she flattened her mouth, reached out and grabbed Hong Bingying's sleeve: "Sister Hong......! Sister Juan'er and Miss don't want me anymore?"

Hong Bingying reached out and pressed the corner of her forehead, and then touched Xiu'er's hair with the same hand: "No, they will definitely come back, maybe they just went out to find food for you?"

Xiu'er raised her head: "Really, not lying?"

The corners of Hong Bingying's eyes twitched, deceiving such a little girl really made her extremely uncomfortable, but if she wasn't coaxed, this little girl would definitely cry, so Hong Bingying nodded, squatted down and wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of Xiu'er's eyes with her fingers: "Really! Soon they will come back, let's wait, if they haven't come back by night, I'll take you to find them, okay?"

"Okay!" The little girl's eyes lit up, but they soon dimmed, she rubbed the corners of her clothes, and asked Hong Bingying in a low voice, "Sister Hong...... I am hungry...... Is it because I eat too much that Sister Juan'er and Miss Juan'er don't want me anymore?"

Hong Bingying's hand was stunned, a little crying and laughing, the child's mood really changed quickly, it was just unexpected.

Speaking of hunger, Hong Bingying also felt that her stomach was empty, she only found some leftover pastries in the imperial dining room yesterday and at noon today, and there were not many pastries, so they had already been wiped out by Hong Bingying.

The imperial dining room I found yesterday has a lot of ingredients in it, but unfortunately Hong Bingying has always been clothed to reach out for food to open her mouth, and she doesn't know how to cook at all, which is a bit troublesome, Hong Bingying looked at the little girl's expectant gaze, and felt that the pressure on her body was a little scary.

"That...... Is there a kitchen around here?" asked Hong Bingying tentatively, of course, it would be better if there was none.

"Hmm!" the little girl Xiu'er nodded: "Yes, Sister Hong, I'll take you!"

As she spoke, Xiu'er jumped and ran back, and the loose palace maid's dress on her body actually looked a little cute.

Hong Bingying held her forehead, is this considered a self-inflicted sin? At this time, she was a little nostalgic for Lu Tao's little follower, at least she could cook, and it tasted good.

Follow the little girl through a long corridor, and then go to the kitchen in the courtyard, after asking, Hong Bingying learned that those who worked in the kitchen had already run clean yesterday, leaving only an empty kitchen, and on the huge board in the kitchen, there were still vegetables and meat left, but most of these things were no longer visible, and they were crawling with flies and smelling bad.

Hong Bingying endured the unpleasant smell, stretched out two fingers, picked up these ingredients that couldn't be seen and threw them outside, and then opened the window for a long time to ventilate, and finally dispersed most of the remaining smell in the kitchen.

Glancing at the little girl standing outside the door, Hong Bingying twitched the corner of her eyes: "...... Xiu'er, what do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat braised pork! It's fragrant with white rice!" Xiu'er's eyes seemed to glow, and Hong Bingying seemed to see a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of Xiu'er's mouth, reflecting a suspicious light in the afternoon sunlight shining through the window.

Hong Bingying twitched the corner of her eyes again, and looked around the kitchen, the meat was definitely gone, and it was all thrown outside by Hong Bingying, and there was a string of black things hanging on her head, which looked like bacon? Hong Bingying recalled for a while, and then remembered that she seemed to have eaten this thing.
