Early in the morning of the second day, Ruoqing and Huai Ying came to say goodbye to the bamboo basket, Ruoqing embroidered three purses, Huai Huan prepared three white jade rings, and the bamboo basket picked three colorful Biya bracelets. After the three of them exchanged tokens and talked again, it was time to separate.

This early morning passed lively, and Chuxiu Palace also sent someone to take care of the bamboo basket, which made the bamboo basket a little unexpected. The person who came was a young girl, and she looked like she was eleven or twelve years old, very childish. It's just that although the person is not big, he is a little shy, and he is also stable, and he is not a noisy person, but he also feels satisfied. Chunliu is not from a high background, and he is Han, although he is young, he has been in the palace for several years, and he is familiar with the rules and personnel in the palace.

"Sister Zhuzhen, the medicine has been boiled, and I have already dried it for a while, and the temperature will be just right." Chunliu carried a tray and walked into the house gently, on the tray a white porcelain bowl containing bamboo pots of decoction, and there were three or five candied fruits in a shallow dish on the side.

The bamboo basket was not ambiguous, tried the temperature, raised his head and drank the medicine cleanly, then put down the bowl, immediately stuffed two candied fruits into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Today's candied fruit is better than yesterday's, yesterday's rosehips are too sweet, what is this today?" ”

"Back to my sister, today this is a milky plum, not from the dining room, but it just so happened that I have a familiar sister in the dining room, she pickled some plums today and took them with me to taste, I thought that my sister loves to eat plums, so I took the initiative to change some for my sister, my sister is good to eat?" Chunliu whispered slowly.

"It's something that someone gave you something to try, I'm really embarrassed, but I told me to be greedy first." Zhu Zhen said apologetically.

"It's just a few plums, sister, if you like it, just eat it, and I'll ask her for some more." Chunliu's mouth is sweet, and the bamboo basket eats other people's short mouths, but he secretly has a heart for Chunliu.

After the body healed, Zhu Zhen thanked Mama Xi and several palace maids one by one, and when Chunliu returned to Chuxiu Palace to show the good concubine, Zhu Zhen was led by Chunliu to Chuxiu Palace.

Originally, in modern times, she also went to the Forbidden City with her classmates during the summer vacation, when the Forbidden City was full of tourists and the scorching sun, in addition to following the map to look around, she was more fanning fans, holding ice water, complaining about the poisonous sun and China's population. And at this moment, walking in this huge palace city, overhead, is the white clouds and blue sky, under the feet, is the open blue brick and stone wall, as far as the eye can see, are all golden tile Zhu wall, occasionally three or two palace people walk side by side, or a team of attendants bow their heads and hurry.

Something seemed to be hitting Ruolu's heart, knock, knock, knock...... I can't tell what kind of emotion it is, and Ruolu can't tell whether it is caused by the shock brought to him by the vision or the unending soul feeling of the deity.

"Sister Zhuzhen, it's almost here, I can only lead it to the courtyard, and there will be Aunt Hua Shu who is serving in the inner room to lead you to greet Niangniang." Seeing the palace gate of Chuxiu Palace from afar, Chunliu whispered.

"I've made a note of it, and I'm so grateful that you've been taking care of me these days."

"Sister don't want to see outside, serve in the same palace, this is as it should be." Harunagi hurriedly explained.

Zhu Zhen smiled with her and didn't say anything more.

All the way through the palace gate, through the corridor, not long after, the two of them to Chuxiu Palace.

"My sister will stand first, and I'll go and report for my sister." Seeing that the bamboo basket nodded, Chunliu stepped forward and whispered something to a palace maid standing outside the bright room of Chuxiu Palace, and the palace maid glanced at the bamboo basket, then nodded, turned around and entered the house.

Chunliu returned to the bamboo basket, but after a moment, he saw the palace maid who had just opened the curtain and came out, but did not put the curtain down, and another cyan palace dress, a slightly older palace maid, walked towards the bamboo basket.

Chunliu saluted and said, "Aunt is well, the show girl in Zakuta Mansion in the Ministry of Officials, Zakuta Bamboo Basket brought, and the slave and maid retire." ”

"There you go." The person who came responded, and then glanced at Zhu Zhen without a trace, and said with a gentle smile: "I am the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace, Xitara Huashu, you can call me Aunt Huashu in the future." ”

Zhu Zhen blessed his body according to the rules taught by his grandmother before, and said: "Zhu Zhen has seen Aunt Hua Shu, and Aunt Hua Shu is fine." ”

Hua Shuxu helped him and said, "The master knows that you are coming, so please follow me into the house first." ”

"Yes." Zhu Zhen answered, followed behind Hua Shu, lowered his head all the way, and entered the east room.

"Master, the bamboo basket has arrived." Hua Shu sighed softly.

"Hmm." A soft female voice sounded.

"The slave Zakuta Bamboo Basket greets Concubine Liangniang." Zhu Zhen took a half step forward and made a big salute.

"Look up, I'll see."

Zhu Zhen raised his head slightly, his eyes were still looking down, and he saw only a touch of pine green cloud brocade hem, embroidered with longevity group pattern and hibiscus flowers.

"Beautiful, can you read?"

"If you go back to your master, you will recognize some."

"Okay, Hua Shu, arrange for her to go to the top of the Yilan Pavilion to paint the missing children." Concubine Liang commanded lightly.

"Yes, the slave and maid will explain it to Zhuzhen." Hua Shu blessed the body.

"Take her down to settle down, rest for a day today, and then be on an errand tomorrow." After speaking, Concubine Liang took a sip of the cloud tea on the square table beside her.

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." The bamboo hoop bowed with the flowers and left the house.

After a rough placement, Hua Shu explained some of her errand matters to Zhu Zheng. Only then did Zhu Zhen know that the language and painting in Concubine Fang Cailiang's mouth was the eldest aunt in the original Chuxiu Palace, and after this draft, she also went out of the palace when she reached the age of age, and Hua Shu became the oldest palace maid in Chuxiu Palace.

After everything was explained safely, Hua Shu went back to Concubine Liang's house to be on duty, and Zhu Zhen continued to organize her belongings. It is also fortunate to say that Zhu Zhu has only entered the palace on duty, and should have lived in a large shop, but it happened that Aunt Yuhua had just left the palace, and Zhu Zhu took the position of Yuhua and served by the side of Concubine Liang, so Zhu Zhu was arranged to live in the bed of the original Aunt Yuhua, and a room with Huashu.

The bamboo basket folded the clothes she brought and put them in the cabinet, but she was thinking about the things beside her, today was the first time she saw Concubine Liang, and she sent such a good errand to her. Just now, she also tactfully inquired about the arrangements of the palace maid who entered the Chuxiu Palace with her, but she was the one with the best residence and errands among the several people.

"Knock knock!" Zhu Zhen was still thinking about it, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Zhu Zhen said smoothly, suddenly thinking that it was wrong, it was no longer in the bedroom, and hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door, and there was a beautiful woman standing outside the door.

"You are?" The bamboo basket looked at the person who came slightly - goose egg face, apricot eyes and nose, although it is not beautiful, but it is also a middle-class posture, at this moment wearing a unified bamboo and green palace dress of the palace people, it looks lively and sweet.

"You're a bamboo basket? My name is Yingluo, and I entered the palace with you, just because you were sick, and I came to Chuxiu Palace a few days earlier than you. "Someone who came reported to his home was very familiar.

"I was still thinking about finding a time to say hello to you, but it happened that you came first, come in quickly." Zhu Zhen turned to the side and let Yingluo into the room.

Zhu Zhen poured a glass of water for Yingluo, Yingluo took the cup, only to retract her eyes looking around, and said with envy: "Your luck is really good, you can be assigned to Aunt Hua Shu's house, although I have only been here for a few days, I have heard that many palace people praise Aunt Hua Shu for her kind and easy-going heart, presumably your life will be very comfortable in the future." ”

Zhu Zhen smiled, and a little embarrassed, she had never dealt with Yingluo, I don't know what kind of character she is, she can't be sure whether her words are pure envy or pantothenic acid, she should only say kindly: "Aunt is indeed kind." Then he changed the subject, "I wonder where you are on duty?" ”

"I was assigned to the kitchen, and I've been learning how to serve refreshments with my aunt for the past few days." Yingluo fiddled with her fingers, not paying much attention.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhen said: "This is a beautiful difference. ”

Unexpectedly, Yingluo pouted when she heard this: "Where is the beauty difference?" You don't know how fierce Aunt Chu Yi is. Seeing Zhu Zhen's puzzled look, Yingluo leaned closer, lowered her voice and said, "If Aunt Hua Shu is the kindest person in this palace, then Aunt Chu Yi is the most bad-tempered person in this palace." ”

Then, Yingluo seemed to open the conversation, and spit out the bitter water that she had been taught and reprimanded by her aunt in the past few days, and Zhuzhu mostly listened to her, occasionally responding to one or two sentences. It wasn't until a little palace maid came to look for Yingluo that Yingluo wrinkled her little face, and the expression clearly said, look, my first aunt is going to take me over to lecture again.

Zhu Zhen was amused, and urged Yingluo to hurry over, so as not to make the first aunt unhappy when she was late. It wasn't until Yingluo and the little palace maid walked away that Zhu Zhen shook his head with a smile, went back to the house and closed the door. Thinking that there is still half a day to rest today, Zhu Zhen does not plan to be idle in the house, he will be on an errand in this Chuxiu Palace in the future, and the environment in this Chuxiu Palace should be familiar as soon as possible. Especially if he doesn't know the way, this Chu Xiugong is not big, but it is not small, if one day there are some jokes because of this, it will be a shame to lose people.

"The main gate," bypassing the shadow wall, "the side door, this side of the transept, and the farther one is the east room." Zhu Zhen silently remembered in his heart, and went all the way from the verandah to the apse.

"What is this place? Study? "There are not many people in the apse, so I just listened to Aunt Hua Shu's meaning, she will serve Concubine Liang in the study in the future, and this study is in the apse of Chuxiu Palace, but I don't know which of the five rooms is it.

Taking advantage of the fact that others did not pay much attention, the bamboo basket quietly leaned on the window to look inside, but at this time the sun was just right, she looked in from outside the house, but she couldn't see anything, and the bamboo basket had to cover the sides of her eyes with her palms to block some sunlight.

"What are you doing here?" The sudden sound behind him startled the bamboo basket, and he turned around to see that there was a little boy who looked twelve or thirteen years old standing under the half-meter-high steps.

The bamboo basket hurriedly climbed the steps, saluted, and settled his mind, the boy in front of him was very angry, and the bamboo basket could not figure out his identity, so he had to say: "The slave maid asks for peace to the master." ”

"What is the master, there are many 'masters' in this palace, who knows who you are asking for?" The boy was very dissatisfied with Zhu Zong's words, glanced at Zhu Zong, and asked, "I look at you, the new one?" ”

"Yes."

"Remember, this is your fourteenth master." As soon as the fourteenth elder brother raised his chin, anyone could see his pride, but he was indeed the pride of the sky and had this capital.

"Are you...... Fourteenth Master? Hearing this, Zhu Ji couldn't help but look up at the fourteenth elder brother, this little kid who is not as tall as Zhu Zhen turned out to be the fourteenth master? The future general king?

"What, do you still have doubts?" Unexpectedly, a little palace maid dared to refute her own words, and the fourteenth elder brother couldn't help but glare at the bamboo basket.

"The slave doesn't dare, but the size doesn't seem to be right." Zhu Zhen muttered quietly, the fourteenth elder brother is the same year as Zhu Zong, it stands to reason that boys are always taller than girls, but the child in front of him is more than half a head shorter than Zhu Zong, and she can't complain that she doesn't believe it.

"You!" The fourteenth elder brother seemed to have been stepped on by someone's tail, and he was about to have a seizure, when a shrill voice sounded from not far away: "My lord, why are you here?" It can be called a slave and easy to find. ”

The fourteenth elder brother frowned: "What's the matter, what kind of system is so noisy?" ”

"The Fourteenth Master forgives sins." The middle-aged eunuch hurriedly knelt down, "Back to the fourteenth master, the emperor announced that you were going to pass in the cloth treasury room, saying that he wanted to test the homework of several masters." ”

Hearing that it was the emperor's call, the fourteenth elder brother hurriedly said: "Don't leave yet!" After walking a few steps, he walked back to the bamboo basket, raised his hand and pulled the bamboo basket's purse, and said, "You wait for me!" Next time I see you, I'll be taller than you! ”
