Chapter 269: Unexpected Joy
After Xia Xue'er went back to the room and slept for a long time, she heard the sound of footsteps outside, turned over, looked outside the curtain and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
When the man heard the question, he knew that she was not asleep, so he walked towards the inner room, but he did not go in, but only replied through the bead curtain: "Princess Qiyu, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is in a hurry, and the slaves and maids did not catch up, and I ask the princess to punish him."

The palace maid's voice trembled a little when she spoke, and she must have been extremely frightened in her heart.
Also, Concubine Sun Guifei is a perfectionist, she can't tolerate a flaw in everything, and the subordinates in her palace are naturally strictly controlled, and she doesn't do what her master commands, how can she not be afraid?
It's just that she is Xia Xue'er instead of Sun Guifei, so she can't lose her temper over such a trivial matter. Besides, it was late at night, and they had just come back, presumably they had already chased them to the gate of the palace, and it was not a dereliction of duty, she was not the kind of master who did not know what to do.
"I see, you go down and rest."
Xia Xue'er commanded softly, but the palace maid seemed to be unable to believe her ears, she was stunned for a long time, and after coming back to her senses, she hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for the princess's forgiveness!" ”
Different from the previous nervousness, this tone was full of joy at this moment, and after speaking, he tiptoed out, and after Xia Xue'er heard the sound of the door closing, she turned around and fell asleep.
The next morning, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar figure in the room busy, putting the clothes she was going to wear today on the clothes rack, and was taking spices and smoking them patiently and meticulously, with skillful movements and gentle techniques.
"Cuizhu?"
She opened her mouth and called softly, and the person turned around when she heard the voice, it was Cuizhu, the person she was thinking about!
"Miss!"
Cuizhu was also happy, put down the guy in his hand and ran to her bed, knelt on the footrest, the master and servant held hands, and both of them were in tears.
There were only a few people left in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion who all followed her into the palace, but since she lived in this Yuehua Palace, she has never seen a few people, Sun Guifei said that they must learn how to serve the future princess of Qi, so they are all handed over to the teaching grandmother in the palace to manage, and they don't have to come to serve on weekdays, and even ask for peace is exempt.
And the people who serve around her are all palace maids from Yuehua Palace, except for an aunt Yunxi she knows, the rest of them have never met before, and they don't know her preferences, and they are trained to be like robots, and it is very boring to follow around on weekdays!
Xia Xue'er only remembered at this time that Cuizhu was supposed to be learning the rules of the royal family, how could she appear here early in the morning.
"How did you get here?"
"Early in the morning, Aunt Yunxi went to call the slave maid, saying that it was the concubine Niangniang's quasi-slave maid who came back to serve the young lady!"
They had asked for a wish before, saying that they wanted to come to greet Miss, but they were severely reprimanded by Aunt Yunxi, and since then, in order not to cause trouble to Miss, and in order not to let people look down on the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, they have never mentioned this request again, and they are only dedicated to teaching Mama to learn all kinds of rules.
She and Xianglan are still good, after all, they are older, and they have experienced more things than Dongmei and the others, and their personalities are calm, so they naturally suffer less crimes. But Dongmei and Li'er are not so lucky, especially Li'er, she has never served in Miss close before, and she doesn't understand many things, which is equivalent to learning from scratch, and if she doesn't learn well, she has to suffer a lot!
As soon as Xia Xue'er heard this, she didn't bother to figure out what Sun Guifei's intentions were, so she hurriedly took Cuizhu's hand and asked, "Where is Xianglan?" What about Mama Gui? Are they all back? ”
"Don't you know, Miss? Mama Gui left the palace ten days ago! There was a letter from the house, saying that most of the subordinates who served before had returned, and she had to go back to take care of it. ”
Earlier, they all thought that the people in the house saw that the master was in trouble, and they scattered and fled, but they just moved to the village in the countryside, although some did return to their hometown, but when they heard that the emperor issued an edict saying that as long as the third lady can marry His Royal Highness the King of Qi as promised, all the guilt of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion can be exempted, so they all rushed back to the capital from their hometown.
The news in the countryside was blocked, and it was not until the third lady entered the palace that the Zhuangzi learned the news that she had returned to the city, so she packed up her burden and went back to the Anguo Marquis's mansion, and learned that the young lady was in the palace at this time, so she sent someone to the palace gate, and then asked the palace maid to send a letter in.
It's just that I didn't expect Sun Guifei to hide this matter, which shows that Xia Xueer is not regarded as a future daughter-in-law, and she can't be fully trusted!
In this regard, Xia Xue'er just raised her eyebrows indifferently, she didn't care if Sun Guifei would trust her completely, after all, she was counting on this Moon Palace life every day!
"What about the rest?"
Now that Mama Gui has returned to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, she is naturally not worried, Mama's prestige among the subordinates is very high, as long as she goes back, she will naturally be able to take care of the mansion in an orderly manner. What she is worried about now is Xianglan and Dongmei, one of them is the heart of a chivalrous woman, and the other is an innocent grin, the people in this palace are not smiling, I am afraid that they can't stand the two of their living ancestors!
Don't be careless about what punishment you will suffer!
Cuizhu knew what she was worried about, and seeing her eager eyes, she held her hand and tightened it again, trying to soothe her restless heart, and then replied: "Miss, don't worry, Xianglan and Qiu Ju will come back after noon, and Dongmei and Li'er have not finished their work, and it is estimated that it will be several days before they come back to serve!" ”
As soon as Xia Xue'er heard that everyone was fine, and they could all return safely, the stone that had been hanging in her heart was half put down, and she muttered repeatedly: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" ”
Already the palace maid heard the voice of the dormitory, fetched water, and brought the freshening guy in, Cuizhu turned his head to look at the neatly lined people, and then stroked the hand held in the palm of his hand, and reminded: "Miss get up and freshen up first, and I have to serve the concubine Niangniang for breakfast in a while!" ”
Xia Xue'er then remembered that she still had something to do, and she was so happy that she almost forgot about it!
Since living in the Yuehua Palace, she has to get up an hour and a half earlier than Sun Guifei every day, and after grooming and dressing up, she has to go to the main hall to greet Sun Guifei, accompany her to breakfast, listen to her teaching, and it is a daily must do homework, and sometimes she will serve her to dress when she goes early, and she really does the duty of a daughter-in-law!
She half-tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and dissipated the tears that had been lingering in her eyes, and then the palace people picked them up. (To be continued.) )
