Chapter 32: The palace maid Xia Xi

After entering the door, there were two eunuchs leading the way, and the eunuch on the side was quite clever and said: "The master's palace is Jingyang Palace, which is quite close to the emperor's Qianqing Palace" I glanced at him and found that she looked pleasing and spoke clearly, so people were rewarded.

I looked at the Qianqing Palace from a distance, and the crimson palaces seemed to be embedded in the snow. The palace is nestled in the trees, revealing glazed tile roofs, just like a golden island. The gorgeous pavilion in the distance of the Qianqing Palace is surrounded by the water of Huaqing Pond, duckweed is all over the ground, green and clear. The two dragons on the cornice, with golden scales and golden armor, were vivid, as if they wanted to fly into the air. Presumably that is the emperor's Qianqing Palace garden.

Kunning Palace in this Jingyang Palace is also close, and it has been entered before, and the difference with others is that these novelties are long gone, after all, the palace has been here many times, but it is quite emotional. From afar, the golden glazed tiles of these palaces shine brightly in the sun. Under the clear blue sky, the golden glazed tile heavy eaves of the Forbidden City looks particularly brilliant. Unlike when I entered the palace, this is where I will live in the future.

Towards the opposite place of the Qianqing Palace, after a lotus pond, walk through a pavilion like the west, and see the palace with golden characters written "Jingyang Palace".

It's just that the scenery in Jingyang Palace is something I haven't seen, the front and back corridors are hard mountain style, the top of the hall is paved with yellow glazed tiles, inlaid with green trimming, and the ridge is decorated with colorful glazed dragon patterns and flame beads. The face is wide, five rooms are deep, and three rooms are deep. The hall is painted with colorful ornaments. Inner Chen throne, screen; There are smokers, incense pavilions, and candlesticks on both sides. Two corners of the platform in front of the palace, the sundial in the east, Jialiang in the west, the osmanthus flowers on both sides of the courtyard are fragrant, and the left and right seem to be plum blossom branches.

In this way, you can smell the fragrance of flowers in all seasons, and those spices are saved, but I don't know what color the plum blossoms are, but I am faintly looking forward to it.

When I entered the room, I saw the maid and eunuch coming up, and when I saw it left and right, I said in unison: "Welcome to Concubine Ping, Niangniang Wanfu."

Because it is a concubine, the coarse ones are not counted as six palace maids, and now I bring three, and there are still three palace maids.

"The slave maid is the sixth product of the Si Ji Xia Xi, knock to see Concubine Ping, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an" A slightly older palace maid asked for Andao.

Seeing that she had good rules and full of etiquette, this was my aunt in charge in the future, so she raised her hand gently and said, "Please get up."

I saw a eunuch also knelt down and buckled his head and said: "Please say hello to Concubine Ping, Niangniang is auspicious" I looked at him carefully, but I was quite surprised: "Father-in-law Wu Qi, how are you now."

"The slave was arranged by the emperor, since the death of the queen's mother, Xia Zhu and Aunt Qiuyun were released, the slave has been on an errand with the emperor, I don't know that the master is here, and the slave begged the emperor to come."

This Wu Qi's father-in-law was the chief eunuch beside his sister, when he was still a little father-in-law, his sister had saved his younger brother, when he entered the palace so that his younger brother could live well, who would have thought that his younger brother was sold to an unbearable place, and when he cried at night, his sister heard it and begged Ama for help, he took care of his sister and did his best, and the most commendable thing was that he was heartfelt, and slowly rose to the chief eunuch under the promotion of his sister.

"The slave should die, it's a good day, but the slave is shedding tears here," he said, rudely wiping the tears from his face with his sleeve.

Seeing her like this, I smiled with tears in my eyes: "You are still so real, how good is the emperor's duty, and he still runs to me with his eyes, just leave you to blame me."

Wu Qi smiled, looking honest and loyal.

"Master, drink some tea and slowly thirst" The poems and paintings on the side saw me pursing my lips and bringing a glass of water, I said to the two palace maids from the palace: "The palace should only bring two maids, but the palace asked the queen mother to bring one, they serve me when they are children, they understand me, you get along well in the future, and the palace will not treat you badly, but there is a name."

"Please give me a name," the two said in unison.

"Xiao Xiao has a few leaves of wind and rain, and it is more bitter to be away from others. The pillow counts autumn, and the toad goes down the morning chord. The night was frightened, and the tears and lights fell. Everywhere is sad, light dust in Yuqin. The poems of Nalan Gongzi have always been liked, so you will be called Yuqin, and you have always been known as Yupei, so you will be called Peiqin." I pointed to another palace maid and said.

These two palace maids have an ordinary appearance, I think the internal affairs office is afraid that I like ordinary palace maids like ordinary palace concubines, so as not to be covered up in color, but it is counterproductive.

"From now on, you are the people of my Jingyang Palace, born to be the people of Jingyang Palace, and the ghosts of Jingyang Palace are dead, the background of this palace must be known to everyone, and it is not impossible to kill one or two minions on their backs" I said sharply, seeing (he) they trembled and said yes, so he continued: "This palace is here to say okay, if someone wants to blackmail your family to frame this palace, sue sรน this palace, this palace will keep your family safe, otherwise even if you pull this palace off the horse, don't think about keeping your family safe, because this palace can't live and others can't live." I paused and saw that they were sweating profusely, and said slowly with satisfaction: "This palace is not an unreasonable person, if you are loyal, this palace will keep you safe, and others will bully you is bullying this palace, and they will definitely help you get justice".

I felt a little tired, so I asked Shiyu Shiyan to serve me to wash, let Shihua take the palace maids and eunuchs to talk to them about my rules, and then take a nap after washing.

When I woke up, it was already noon, and Shihua came over when I heard the sound, and I rinsed my mouth and said slowly, "How are you asking?"

"As the little master expected, this Aunt Xia Xi has a background, before the master entered the palace, in front of Su Ma's mother, it must have been either the queen mother who sent it or the queen mother, the slave and maid were tempted, and she did not hide it, as if she knew that the little master would check her identity, and she was also smart."

"If it's the queen mother's side, it's naturally good, but I'm afraid that others will take advantage of the loophole, the person behind the death of my sister and little brother hasn't been found yet, don't be careless, I'll take a look when I'm done."

After freshening up, I took Xia Xi to Cining Palace, and on the way I asked softly: "Xia Xi is also twenty* this year."

"The master has good eyesight, the slave is twenty-nine years old" Xia Xi replied with a smile, his voice was low and soft, and he glanced at it unconsciously, his white face and delicate posture made people feel comfortable, and he must have been a good-looking woman when he was young, so he was curious: "My aunt should have left the palace at the age of twenty-five, why did she stay in this deep palace and not see the day."

Seeing that she sighed softly, as if she didn't want to answer me, she didn't force it anymore, but she smiled: "There is nothing unspeakable, it's just that there is no one to care about outside the palace, why take a place, and die alone, it is better to have sisters in this palace to take care of each other."

I was very touched by another poor woman, but I also had a good impression of her.
