Chapter I
Chapter I
The spring breeze is ten miles, slightly cool and customary, and the flowers in early spring have already bloomed all over the garden, and they are extremely beautiful.
The early morning sun sprinkles, sometimes there are palace maids in light green clothes shuttling back and forth, holding a smooth jade bottle in their hands, cutting a wisp of flower branches and inserting them into the bottle, the charming flowers and the fresh and elegant jade bottle complement each other, minus unnecessary branches and leaves, and wait for the shape to be perfect, then take a small broken step Tingting curled around and walked towards the palace gate.
And in the beautiful spring / color in the garden, only a little girl who is only six or seven years old looks extremely discordant.
People wear light green, and she also wears light green, but people wear it like floating lotus leaves on the lotus pond, slim and graceful, and this little girl looks clumsy like a little crab!
Not long after, another little palace maid also walked to the garden very quickly, looking left and right, when she saw the little girl who was trying to cut flowers, her eyes lit up, she quickly ran over to take the jade bottle, and hurriedly said, "Ouch, Xiaoxing, don't cut flowers, the ancestor is calling you." ”
A bitter look immediately appeared on the face of the palace maid named Xiao Xing, and she couldn't help but hesitate, "But, didn't the ancestor just ask me to come over and cut the flowers?"
Hearing Xiao Xing say this, the palace maid's face couldn't help but be dyed with a touch of sympathy, and she quickly took the special flower scissors in Xiao Xing's hand, "But the ancestor just asked you to go for treatment." ”
Xiao Xing's expression fell, her empty little meat hand stirred on her clothes, she reluctantly moved her steps, and her big eyes looked at the little palace maid pitifully as if she could speak, as if to say, "Are you really going to go, are you really going to go, you must be lying to me." ”
It's a pity that the little palace maid is extraordinarily hard-hearted at the moment, pushed Xiao Xing, who was still grinding, and said in her mouth, "Go quickly, be careful of the old ancestor losing his temper if you go late." ”
Xiao Xing's expression collapsed, and she said to the little palace maid that she wanted a yellow spring, and then she walked towards Cining Palace with her feet.
And the ancestor in the mouth of the little palace maid is the *oss of the entire palace that is almost as big as the emperor - the queen mother.
Thinking of the Queen Mother, Xiao Xing felt a handful of bitter tears in her heart, thinking that at the beginning, when she was selected into the Queen Mother's Palace because she was fat and was said to be blessed, which little palace maid did not envy her?
Although she has a way to curry favor with the female official, and she can also be assigned a good place, but this is not bad -- it is only limited to the position where the work is light and it is not easy to lose her head -- how can there be a good queen mother's palace? No one dares to bully when she goes out.
But after she arrived in the Queen Mother's Palace, she realized that everything can't look at the surface, if she is given another chance, she absolutely must lose weight, and don't be said to be blessed again!
It's a pity that it is difficult to buy a thousand dollars, and Xiao Xing can only speed up and walk towards Cining Palace.
When she walked to the palace gate, the big palace maid in a pink dress was already waiting at the door, and when Xiao Xing's short and chubby figure appeared, her eyes immediately lit up, and she walked up and took Xiao Xing's hand, "Hurry up, the ancestor is still waiting." ”
Xiao Xing was not afraid when she saw the big palace maid in the pink dress, she was very familiar, she asked in a low voice while walking quickly, "Sister Peach Blossom, what did the Queen Mother call me this time?"
The palace maid named Peach Blossom sighed, "It's His Royal Highness the Seventh, I didn't have the energy when I came to ask for peace this morning, and I didn't even accompany the ancestor to eat a few bites, and the ancestor asked you to tell you to take a look." ”
Xiao Xing knew the reason at this time, and couldn't help but have black lines on her face, "But, isn't this Sister Bi Xi's responsibility? ”
Peach Blossom didn't stop, but the expression on her face was a little subtle, she coughed, and her voice became more subtle, "The ancestor called you, you can go, anyway, it's not the first time." ”
Xiao Xing's expression is even more sad, but it's a pity that because of a naturally smiling face, even the sad look looks very gratifying, Peach Blossom looked at Xiao Xing's bun face sympathetically, just because of such a cute baby face was remembered by the ancestors, it is also pitiful.
At this time, the door of the inner palace was already close in front of her, and the peach blossom only gestured to Xiao Xing with her eyes, and waited at the door of the inner palace like a doorpost.
The little eunuch at the gate of the palace didn't stop Xiao Xing, but just made a careful gesture to her when she passed by, Xiao Xing nodded slightly, and then walked into the door.
In front of her is a carved red lacquered door, the pillar of the courtyard at the door is gilded, and there is a beautiful phoenix hovering on it, Xiao Xing walked over cautiously, and only then walked into the inner room after stepping over a pearl curtain.
At this time, at the top of the inner room, an old lady with gray hair and noble eyebrows was sitting upright, and in the lower position, there were two children who were no more than five or six years old, and the one with delicate eyebrows and a stern expression was sitting on a chair.
Xiao Xing didn't look at it much, just kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and then said, "The palace maid Xiao Xing has seen the Queen Mother, the Sixth Highness, and the Seventh Highness." ”
At this time, the Queen Mother couldn't wait for a long time, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and show Xiao Er, what's wrong with him, what's wrong with him today?"
What the hell is this called?
At this moment, there was a row of black lines on the faces of everyone in the hall, and even the expression of the Seventh Highness, who had always been as strict as a little adult, couldn't help but distort, not to mention the Sixth Highness who had always been lively.
The uncontrollable laughter successfully darkened His Highness's face.
His Royal Highness Sixth can laugh, but Xiao Xing can't laugh, but she can't bear to laugh hard, and she can only lower her head and twitch the corners of her mouth to express her cheerful heart.
And when he looked up, he saw the six points in the horizontal row on the dialog box on the head of His Royal Highness the Seventh, and the speechless expression made Xiao Xing Coke very happy.
But she can only be happy for a while, because it will be her turn to be unlucky.
Because she wants to treat His Highness the Seventh.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xing felt bitter, the Queen Mother is majestic and sacred in everyone's hearts, but who knows that the Queen Mother still has such an age-old problem?
That's forgetfulness!
The old lady of other people's family, when she is forgetful, at most she forgets where the rice is, what day it is, whether she eats the morning food or not, and the queen mother forgets it, it is almost a life.
Because she can't remember the name of the palace maid, the queen mother will call a name casually whenever she wants to command, but there are not many others in the palace, there are many palace maids and eunuchs, and there are always one, two, three or four who can match the name that the queen mother said casually.
And since the queen mother is exported, she will naturally not take it back, so there are often those who plant flowers and are instructed to stand guard, and those who sweep the floor are instructed to embroider clothes.
In this era, when the palace maid is mostly to supplement the family, the children of unidentified girls and criminal ministers are not allowed to enter the palace for the sake of safety, and the palace maids are mostly good families, as long as there is no accident, the palace maid can leave the palace when she reaches the age of twenty-five.
And since it is to supplement the family, then the salary is very important, especially after Xiaoxing crossed over, after learning that the original owner had a father who was paralyzed in bed and a seriously ill brother, the salary was even more important to Xiaoxing, because she occupied the body of this girl who was killed by a wind chill, so naturally she had to fulfill her wish and protect her relatives.
After all, Xiao Xing volunteered to be a palace maid for her father and brother.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xing sighed in her heart, how happy she was when she became the first high-grade palace maid among these little girls, but since she was remembered by the Queen Mother, Xiao Xing felt that life was really getting more and more difficult.
Because the Queen Mother has a disease of "calling Xiaoxing when there is something, and still calling Xiaoxing when there is nothing".
Since arriving in the Queen Mother's Palace, Xiao Xing has changed more than a dozen positions non-stop, often before putting down the embroidery needle to clean up the jewelry box, the jewelry box has not finished cooking and going to cut the flowers, and now, the flowers have not been cut, and come to see the doctor.
Xiao Xing feels that she is like a brick in the Queen Mother's palace, where she needs to move, now don't talk about the grandmothers and palace maids around the Queen Mother, even the little eunuchs know her, okay?
It turns out that he also has the potential to become a celebrity, Xiao Xingyu.
And now, she came to see His Royal Highness Seven, but Xiao Xing was not very worried about this.
If it was a disease, he would have been declared a doctor a long time ago, and he would not wait until the queen mother was in the palace to see the disease, and if it wasn't for the illness - thinking of his only golden finger, Xiao Xing still had a trace of comfort.
She walked in front of the Seventh Highness, the Seventh Highness still looked unhappy with a dark face, his dark eyes were as beautiful as pearls, and he glared at Xiao Xing, quite angry.
Xiao Xing ignored it, and just asked calmly, "What did His Royal Highness Seventh eat yesterday night? When did you go to bed? When did you wake up in the morning, did you feel unwell, and what did you eat before you went to the Queen Mother's Palace?"
And just after Xiao Xing's series of questions, the six points on the head of the Seventh Highness immediately changed, as if thinking of something unhappy, the expression of the Seventh Highness became sad again, even the black and bright eyes were no longer shiny, and the dialog box on his head had already shown new handwriting.
"The mother concubine has changed to two new palace maids, so ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, unhappy ̄へ ̄"
Xiao Xing: "......"
