141. Chapter 141
When Fu Yanyu returned to the banquet, the play was almost finished, Qiu Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Fu Yanyu's appearance, and hurriedly covered Fu Yanyu to sit down, as if Fu Yanyu had never left, but there were many people in the banquet hall, and no one would see Fu Yanyu after leaving for so long.
Sure enough, as soon as the play was finished, someone was in trouble, and it was none other than the queen who spoke.
"Princess Xuanyue doesn't like this play?"
Fu Yanyu was displeased when she heard this, but she didn't want to express herself too much, "Erchen doesn't understand what the queen mother means. β
The queen smiled softly, "The palace saw that the princess left the table from the beginning of the play just now, and she didn't come back until the end of the play, so I wondered if this play was not pleasing to the birthday star." β
The empress's words caught the emperor's attention, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Does Bao'er not like it?" If you don't like it, you can order the one you like. β
Fu Yanyu stood up and walked up to the emperor, "It's not like that, it's just that it's a child's birthday today, and there are too many things to eat, all of which are liked by children, so I ate more greedily for a while." I just sat down and saw this table full of food, and I couldn't help but eat a lot more. I couldn't stand the swelling in my stomach, so I went out for a walk and ate so that I wouldn't be able to sleep. β
"Hahahaha, I thought our Bao'er was very good, but now it seems that it is the same as the usual girl's family, greedy." The emperor's old face was smiling with spring flowers, but the queen's face covered with fat powder was a little unbearable.
The emperor didn't seem to care about the queen's words, and had a drink with everyone before breaking up the feast.
"You go and check what the queen has been doing recently" The emperor who returned to the imperial study quickly changed his face, and he looked a little drunk just now and was already clear, "How about the one in the Shen Penal Division?" It's time to take it out and try the knife. β
"Yes, the minister will do it." With that, the man disappeared into the night.
The emperor was a little tired, and he didn't sleep much, and even if he was tired, he could only sleep for more than two hours a day.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xuanyue is here." The eunuch bent down and walked lightly to the emperor.
"Oh," the emperor paused, "Why are you still here so late, please." β
As soon as she entered and exited, Fu Yanyu walked in with a food box.
"Bao'er hasn't slept so late?" At this time, the emperor lost the majesty of the day, and more or less had the taste of a father.
"Seeing that my father drank a lot of wine, it happened that Qiu Yun cooked a decanting soup and sent some to my father." After speaking, Fu Yanyu opened the food box and took out a soup bowl, which contained half a bowl of brown soup.
The emperor took it and drank it all in one gulp.
"It seems that I smell the smell of chicken soup, what other good things did Bao'er bring to my father?"
Fu Yanyu smiled and shook her head, "Father's nose is smart, like a ......" is probably used to life outside the palace, and when she thought of the rules of speaking in the palace, Fu Yanyu had to swallow the words that came to her mouth again.
"You want to say that my father's nose is like a dog's nose?" The emperor did not get angry because of this, but showed a hint of joy on his face.
"This is what my father said," Fu Yanyu muttered in a low voice, and the shyness of the youngest daughter was on her face.
The emperor looked at his daughter like this, and didn't want to joke anymore, "What delicious food did you prepare for your father?" β
"Chicken noodle soup" Fu Yanyu brought a bowl of steaming noodles to the emperor, "Today's ones are just for others to see, this noodle is made by her daughter, and my father will taste it." β
The emperor held his chopsticks and shook them twice, "You actually said that today's celebration that cost so many silver taels is for others to see, if those old guys know about it, they will scold your father and emperor behind their backs." β
"Let's just talk about it privately," Fu Yanyu dipped the grease remaining on her fingers and wrote two words on the table.
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Fu Yanyu, and then spit out a chicken bone in his mouth on the two words just now. A qiΔ seems to occur naturally, without a trace.
Princess Xuanyue's birthday was passed on in the palace for several days, but it was still calm in the end.
Su Muzhi's body is also slowly recovering, even if Qiu Yun gave silver, but the rules are there, Feng Xiaoyan can't protect it too obviously, and after resting for more than ten days, Su Muzhi still returned to her normal work, but in this way, Su Muzhi's work is still a little less than before. Others may not be able to see it, but Su Muzhi knows.
The Chase Shop, which originally lived for 20 people, was also occupied because of new people moving in, and now Su Muzhi and Li Xiulan temporarily live in a two-person house. This change in qiΔ seems to be a coincidence, but Su Muzhi is not stupid, but there must be a reason for it.
The truth of this qiΔ was inadvertently discovered by Su Muzhi a few days later.
Sister Chun, who was originally going to send the washed clothes to the palaces, could only ask Su Muzhi for this matter because of diarrhea, and Su Muzhi and the other nine female workers in Huanyi went to the palace with Feng Xiaoyan to deliver the clothes. When she arrived at Lan Heyuan in Fuyanyu, Qiu Yun came out and took the clothes, and between handing them over and sending them, a bag of silver fell into Feng Xiaoyan's hands. Su Muzhi stood far away, and the angle was just right, so she really saw it. With such a connection, it is probably clear why my situation is better than when I went.
At night, Su Muzhi took advantage of Li Xiulan's bed and didn't fall asleep and asked, "Sister Li, what should we do if we want to redeem ourselves?" β
"Redemption?" Li Xiulan glanced at Su Muzhi strangely, "Why did you just come in and think about redeeming yourself?" β
"I'm just curious to ask" Su Muzhi's words made Li Xiulan feel strange again, so she asked: "When you entered the palace on an errand, no one sued you?" β
"Sue, sΓΉ me what?"
Su Muzhi's words made Li Xiulan a little vigilant, "You won't be sold here, right?" β
"How can there be" Su Muzhi pulled Li Xiulan to lie down, "The family is poor, I heard that I can earn some silver by coming to the palace on an errand, and I don't know any skills, so I can only ask someone to find a laundry job." It's just that I was in a hurry at the time, and I didn't understand, so I forgot to ask. When I was resting today, I heard someone talking about redemption, and I wanted to ask, but Sister Li, look at me......
Li Xiulan listened to Su Muzhi's changed voice, and also knew that she had low self-esteem in her heart because of her appearance and voice, and she didn't talk to other female workers on weekdays, and only said a few words to herself among so many laundry workers.
"Don't think about it, the female workers who come here are usually three years, and after three years, if you want to go out, you can get out. And don't want to redeem ourselves, our laundry is different from the palace maids inside. β
Three years, by accident, she wants to be in this palace for three years, Su Muzhi really can't cry or laugh.
Seeing that Su Muzhi didn't speak, Li Xiulan thought that she was drilling the horns, "Three years have passed quickly, although there is a lot of life here, but life is quite passable, and there is still silver to take every month." It's no better to work outside than here, you want to open a little. β
"I'm fine, Sister Li" In the dark, I couldn't see Su Muzhi's expression clearly, and I didn't know if Su Muzhi was really fine, but tiredness hit, Li Xiulan said two words like "go to bed early" and didn't take long to hear the sound of even breathing.
Su Muzhi was used to sleeping alone, but now she sleeps in the same bed with others, although it has been a few days, Su Muzhi still can't speak, she got up and put on the coat hanging next to the bed and walked out.
On the night of early winter, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and there was already a chill in the air, Su Muzhi took two breaths and rubbed her hands before walking out of the hospital.
In the northwest of the entire palace, the Huanyi Bureau is a deserted place, and there are few people in and out on weekdays, and the people who come and go are only the palace people of each palace, which is nothing more than to wash the clothes every day.
The palace is very quiet in the middle of the night, especially in winter, and they are afraid of the cold, and there is no one in the palace except for the night patrol of the Imperial Forest Army. The Huanyi Bureau is not an important place in the palace, and the patrol of the Royal Forest Army is only once at night, and the time before dawn, Su Muzhi has mastered their rules after staying here for a long time, so she is not worried about running into the Royal Forest Army.
"Lost again today?" The sudden voice startled Su Muzhi, and she turned around to see Fu Yanyu standing behind her in white clothes.
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess" Su Muzhi knelt down and was pulled by Fu Yanyu, "Without others, these etiquettes are not needed." You've probably heard about it, but I just returned to the palace, and I'm a little unaccustomed to these red tapes. β
"But this is the rule after all" Su Muzhi knew that Fu Yanyu didn't like these, but in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, how many eyes were secretly watching, maybe it would be okay for a while, maybe someone would fall into the well that day.
"Rules are dead, people are alive." Fu Yanyu smiled, looked at Su Muzhi who lowered her head and asked, "What's your name?" There's no princess's birthday tonight, why are you lost again? β
"The slave's name is Xiaocui, it's not that she's lost, it's just that she can't sleep at night and comes out to breathe."
"Your voice ......" In fact, Fu Yanyu noticed it for the first time, Su Muzhi's almost dumb voice, even if there were only two of them in such a quiet place, Fu Yanyu had a hard time listening to Su Muzhi's words.
Voice, Su Muzhi was stunned, and then said slowly: "There was a sudden change in the family, so ......"
"I'm sorry" Fu Yanyu blurted out, "I, I don't know...... Anyway, I'm sorry" Fu Yanyu didn't know how to comfort Xiaocui in front of her, listening to her voice was not only a change, but also looking at the face that was mostly covered and the voice was probably not much better.
"Princess, how can you say such a thing to a subordinate?" Su Muzhi said this, but she was still very happy in her heart, the person in front of her was still the same as at the beginning, but she was ......
"Why aren't you human?" Fu Yanyu asked rhetorically, "The subordinates are also people, there are also happiness and sadness, as the master, you should care more about them." β
Su Muzhi smiled, her hoarse voice couldn't hear joy, but Fu Yanyu could feel the difference, "What are you laughing at?" β
"There is no master like a princess."
"There can't be a special case?"
"You're a princess, you have the final say."
"It's all said that there is no one now, and we don't have a distinction between up and down."
"But a princess is a princess after all."
"You're so tough, I can't talk about you. But I might have a way to cure your throat, would you like to give it a try? β
"Throat?" Su Muzhi was stunned for a moment, did she mind?
Seeing that Su Muzhi was silent for a long time, Fu Yanyu thought that she didn't trust herself, so she spoke again: "Actually, before entering the palace, I was a doctor, a famous doctor, you must know that sometimes many patients need to get up and line up in front of my clinic in front of the clinic in order for me to see them." β
Hearing Fu Yanyu say this, Su Muzhi felt that she was probably thinking too much, and the person in front of her didn't know her identity, but she was just kind, just like Fu Yanyu had boiled medicine and served tea for those seriously ill patients for countless nights.
"Isn't that amazing?"
"It's easy to say, it's too late to thank you when I help you heal." Fu Yanyu smiled at Su Muzhi, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, which made Su Muzhi distracted for a moment.
"Ah sneeze" in the middle of the night, Su Muzhi sneezed three times in a row before stopping, and looked at Fu Yanyu with an embarrassed face.
"It's late at night, and you have to get up early tomorrow to go to work, so go back to sleep quickly! I don't know the way back! β
"Recognize, know" Fu Yanyu used to tease herself, but she didn't expect that after changing her identity, she still couldn't escape, but this kind of teasing made Su Muzhi feel like a world away.
"Clothed" The shoulders suddenly warmed, and seeing that Fu Yanyu actually took off her cloak and put it on herself, Su Muzhi almost didn't stand firm.
"Princess, this ......"
"Wear it, your voice is not good, and it is even more difficult to treat when you catch a cold, I don't want my patient to have any three long and two short in my hands." Fuyanyu's words are high-sounding, and Su Muzhi will be a bit hypocritical if she refuses again. After thanking Fu Yanyu, he flew away, and Fu Yanyu shook his head.
