Chapter 70: The Imperial Garden

Zining was used to staying in the Huanyi Bureau, and woke up before dawn. The new bed www.biquge.info the pen "fun" pavilion is soft and spacious, and the courtyard outside is quiet, and there is no sound of laundry and splashing in the middle of the night, so I slept very well.

She is in the same room with Ling Yu Ling Xue and another palace maid named Minmei. Ling Yu Ling Xue is following Aunt Qiao to do things, Aunt Wei is responsible for managing the little palace maids in Changchun Palace, she has to take care of food, clothing, work and rest, and Ling Yu Ling Xue is by her side.

Zi Ning estimated that Ling Yu and Ling Xue's position was like her serving Aunt Qiao in the Huanyi Bureau, but the place where she stayed was different, and her status was different. Another palace maid is called Minmei, who specializes in running errands to the small kitchen, running well, and recognizing a grandmother as a godmother in the small kitchen.

Minmei is older than all of them, six or seven years older than Zining, and she is about to be released from the palace, and they all guess that if the queen mother gives birth to a little prince in the next year, the mother will be happy and compassionate, and she will be able to be out of the palace at the age of tomorrow. The palace was released at the age of the year, although it was older, but it was strictly trained by the aunt in charge, and it was respected, and after going out, marriage was naturally not a problem, especially the queen who had served the queen in the Changchun Palace, which was also a great honor outside, and it was possible to go out and marry a six- or seven-grade official family.

Zining lay on the bed for two quarters of an hour, thinking about some messy things, and didn't know what chance she would have to see Wen'er again, thinking about her future life in Changchun Palace. Somehow, I thought of the frontier war I heard that day, and naturally thought of Yan Chen, as a general, he should be the busiest person, and I don't know if he will often encounter it in this Changchun Palace in the future, and if he does, how should he face it? Should she be called the fifth master or the fifth prince, the palace maids in the whole palace are called the five princes, is she different? Zi Ning shook her head, thinking about what to do, she would not serve by the queen's side, and the opportunities she encountered were estimated to be very few, thinking about these things that had not happened was really troublesome. She turned over, and remembered that her brother who was assigned to the frontier came, and she didn't know if they were doing well, as well as the second sister, aunt and sister-in-law...... Outside, the sky is getting brighter, and the other beds are moving, just listening to the squirming of the clothes, it is time for the other three sisters to get up.

Zining turned over and got up, cleaned his face with water, and combed his hair. Now she gets a return of oil once a month, as well as pancreatic alabaster and the like. On an errand in this palace, wearing makeup and hair is the most decent, and there can be no mistakes. The four sets of clothes issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also different from those in the Huanyi Bureau, although the colors and colors are also elegant, but the material is much better, and the workmanship is much finer.

After Zining finished cleaning up, they were cleaning their faces. As a new palace maid, when she first arrived, she must be diligent, Zining opened the door, sprinkled the ground with water, swept the small courtyard, brought a pot of hot water, made tea, and wiped the tabletop clean.

"You are busy early in the morning, but you are diligent, and you have robbed all the work of Ling Yu." Minmei smiled and said, "Hurry up and rest, and then go to the dining room for breakfast with us." ”

There will be no shortage of food in this Changchun Palace, a breakfast, vegetarian stuffed buns, rice and flour steamed buns, flower rolls, with some porridge and side dishes, some exquisite.

No one spoke during the meal, and when she left the dining room, Ling Xue said: "One of the advantages of being an errand in Changchun Palace is that you eat well. Niangniang doesn't like to eat meat, and most of those chickens, ducks and fish meat are divided by the girls below. In winter, there are all kinds of pots, mutton pots, pickle pots, beef pots, all the vegetables and meat are stewed, and they are also a flavor. ”

Although Zi Ning had just finished breakfast, he still couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Ling Xue continued, ": We don't have to be on an errand in front of the master's mother, although they don't have more rewards than Sister Miaoling's face, but they can eat enough at every meal without taboos, and most of the people who serve in front of the master's mother can only eat six or seven points full, one is afraid of stomach trouble, the other is afraid of hiccups, and then when they are full, people will be lazy, but we are not good." ”

"It's not easy to serve in front of the master, and those sisters are also admired." Zi Ning said.

Ling Yu": Who's to say it's not. ”

A few people returned to the house, and not long after entering the house, Ling Yu and Ling Xue were called away by Aunt Wei.

Minmei said: "There are not many things here, and it is easy, only the upper sister tells you to do whatever you do, on weekdays, we have nothing to do and embroider and change clothes all day long, at this time the needle and thread can not be used, and it is also boring." ”

"When I was in the Huanyi Bureau, I had to get up and work before dawn, and I didn't sleep until I was on duty, and I only ate for half an hour a day.

"You're not very old, but it's really hard for you......"

While talking, someone came outside, and a palace maid brought two little eunuchs and carried two baskets of things.

"This is an incense-making utensil, Miss Miaoling instructed us to send it, she said that the incense powder was made first, and the incense powder was not so fast, and when the master Niangniang ran out, he would have to continue it, but don't break it."

"I know."

"Also, you will go to the Imperial Garden with me later, see if there are any flowers and plants you need, and after picking them back for the imperial doctor to see, you can start making incense. If nothing else, then I'll go and prepare. ”

"Hey, okay, sister, go slowly."

Zi Ning opened the two baskets of things and saw that these utensils were much stronger than hers, with complete types and fine workmanship, and she knew that she didn't have to bring incense-making utensils all the way over.

After a while, the palace maid came over again, carrying a small incense basket in her hand, and there were still two little eunuchs behind her.

"You called Zining, right?"

"Well, what do you call my sister?"

"Call me Phisu. I was on an errand in front of the master's mother, specializing in incense, before the palace flower ornaments, incense are under my control, and then the flowers are withdrawn, I only care about the incense. Also, Miss Miaoling said to me, the master said that your name is good, and it sounds auspicious, so you won't change your name. Our mother likes flowers, and most of the palace maids in Changchun Palace are named after flowers, either flowers or grass, and you will know it for a long time in the future. ”

Zi Ning nodded, "The master has a great kindness to me, I must make incense well." ”

Fei Su smiled and said: "In the future, we will work together." Changchun Palace is the closest to the Imperial Garden, walk a quarter of an hour out of the palace gate, and when you get there, you don't leave us, just follow me, don't look around. From time to time, some palace concubines in the Imperial Garden visited and appreciated, and they met a salute. ”

"yes, got it." (To be continued.) )
