16. Chapter 16
Lin Yuqing slept until dawn, if Chunni hadn't woken her up tremblingly, it was estimated that she would have slept until the afternoon.
Since yesterday, after Lin Yuqing intimidated Chunni, Chunni looked at her eyes, all of them were sneaky, as if she was worried that her head would be taken away by this seemingly harmless Lin Yuqing at any time.
Lin Yuqing looked at her, and still couldn't bear to bully her in her heart. However, if this person who lives in the same room with her thinks about putting on her little shoes anytime and anywhere, then she is the one who lives and trembles.
She cleared her throat and didn't speak, just thinking about going to the backyard to fetch water and wash up.
However, Chunni took a positive step forward, lowered her head slightly, raised her eyes slightly, looked at Lin Yuqing and said, "When I washed up in the morning, I fetched some more water, you can use it." Don't work so hard, you have to go to the backyard to fetch water. ”
Lin Yuqing looked at Chunni, her eyes were very complicated, and she had a deep sense of guilt in her heart. To say, this Chunni didn't do anything unfavorable to herself, although she likes to make small reports, but she always feels a little too much about what she said and threatened her.
She hummed, then slowly walked over to the shelf.
"Those of us who are palace maids, although it is said that it is in the palace, this place where dragons and phoenixes gather. However, in the final analysis, we are just servants of others, and we cannot enjoy the glory and wealth like our mothers, and we have to worry about our lives at any time. It is precisely because of this that we should cherish each other, take care of each other, strive to leave the palace alive, and then find a good family and live happily. ”
Lin Yuqing wanted to ease the atmosphere between the two of them, so it seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to mean something.
Chunni smiled, but there was still a little fear in her eyes.
"Of course, if we, the slaves and maids who have a hard time living in the palace, still want to frame each other, wouldn't that make our lives even more difficult? Miss Shen, don't worry, I will never say bad things about you in front of anyone in the future. ”
When Lin Yuqing heard Chunni say this, he knew that at this moment, Chunni was separated from her own unknown Dao by several layers of hearts. Although it is said that he will not tell others about his own affairs, but two people face each other day and night, and one person is very afraid of the other, this kind of atmosphere of getting along cannot make people feel comfortable.
However, Lin Yuqing also knew that these things were in a hurry, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay! I'll clean up first, and you can do whatever you want! ”
Chunni looked around the room, and chose to deliver towels to Lin Yuqing.
Lin Yuqing sighed deeply, and then began to wash without saying a word.
In fact, the Si Yi Division is subordinate to the Shang Shi Bureau, and is mainly responsible for daily necessities such as grain, as well as charcoal for food cooking. Occasionally, when there is a shortage of manpower, there will be work to deliver meals to the ladies of the palace.
Today, Lin Yuqing and a group of palace maids from the Si Yi Division began to help each palace classify food consumption. Only then did she realize that according to the different levels of the girls, these meals also have levels. Some of the top dishes in the imperial dining room, those low-level concubines, unless the emperor and the queen mother take care of them, they can't eat them.
"These are from Fuhua Palace, and these are the ...... of Yuhua Palace,"
A middle-aged woman, dressed like Lord Si Yan, instructed on the side. She's fatter, but she doesn't feel bloated. She has a kind face, always smiling, and smiling, and with a smile on her face, there is a drunken nest of money on her face.
Lin Yuqing heard that the people around her called her Lord Si Yi, and she was at the same level as Si Yi. Although he seemed to be very talkative, Lin Yuqing still accompanied him carefully.
After distributing the ingredients of each palace, the next thing to do is to prepare food for the ladies of each palace. Those palace maids who are in charge of the ingredients of the unfavored concubines are very happy in their hearts, because they are not favored and have fewer ingredients, so their work is easy. On the other hand, those favored concubines need both precious and many ingredients, and those of them who are busy working in the back only have the life of being tired, but they can't even see the face of the mother, let alone think about climbing the high branches.
Lin Yuqing and Chunni were separated again, and the two of them were busy preparing ingredients for a lady who had never met before.
Lin Yuqing was holding a vegetable leaf in her hand, and she felt very strange in her heart, it turned out that ancient vegetables were rarely bitten by insects. In addition, the practical dishes for the ladies are all selected, and each one looks mouth-watering.
"Everyone has to eat, no matter the emperor or the queen mother, there will be no exception. If you have food to eat, you will not go hungry and you will be able to live. This should be the main concern of these rulers, right? yes, that's it. The Queen Mother lacks nothing, what she lacks is nothing more than a heart, as long as the filial piety of the contribution is in line with the Queen Mother's mind, then it's okay. ”
Lin Yuqing thought about it, his eyes kept rolling, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought of the proud place. This made Chunni, who was watching her from the sidelines, chant the scriptures in her heart, praying that this moody woman would not pull anything on herself.
Lin Yuqing thought of the best birthday gift for the Queen Mother, which would not look too shabby, but also enough to show the intentions of the person who contributed. It's just that if you can't wait to tell Concubine Yu today, it will seem that you are too superficial and don't pay enough attention to this matter. So, she decided to talk to Concubine Yu tomorrow.
"Shen Xiu, Chunni, after you finish your work, send this food box to the bamboo forest."
An aunt in charge of the food department, after seeing the two of them, commanded with a blank face.
Lin Yuqing and Chunni glanced at each other, and what they thought was that this was not what they should have done. Although I sometimes help the chef to deliver meals to the palaces, I do it when there is not enough manpower. Now, there is still a long time before the ladies of the palace have dinner, and it is said that the palace maids of the catering department should have free time.
"Auntie, the two of us have finished cooking, and we have to go get charcoal. If this is because of the delivery of meals, the time will be delayed, but Aunt Liu will be punished. ”
Lin Yuqing stood up, thinking about politely declining the errand, so the expression on his face was particularly respectful.
Chunni also stood up and followed Lin Yuqing to do the same, but she didn't speak.
The aunt glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "I will explain this matter to Aunt Liu, the matter of firewood and charcoal will be handed over to others to do, and the two of you just need to deliver the food box." ”
As soon as Lin Yuqing saw that this aunt's attitude was so resolute, she knew that no matter what she said, this errand would still fall on the two of them.
She smiled reluctantly, and then inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chunni standing aside and shivering. So, she reached out to hold Chunni's hand and looked at her suspiciously.
Chunni raised her head, her face was pale, her eyes were staring, and bloodshot appeared.
Lin Yuqing thought that he had scared Chunni, so he wanted to withdraw his hand, but who knew that Chunni actually grabbed her hand at once, as if holding a life-saving grass.
