Chapter 117: Hard and Soft
Feng Yao waited there until she confirmed that she was safe and sound when she returned to Ningshou Palace, and then left with a vague smile.
Even the secret guards beside him sighed, "I have come to Ningshou Palace twice today, but I can be regarded as seeing people, now, Your Highness can rest assured!" ”
Feng Yao glanced at him and said coldly, "Will you die if you don't speak?" ”
In this way, Feng Yao and his secret guard did not say a word, and strode out.
Jin Su returned to the room, and the other palace maids were already there. Obviously, before she entered the door, she was talking and laughing, but after seeing her, she didn't speak, and everyone dispersed back to the edge of their beds, only the palace maid who was the leader continued to wash casually.
The palace maid headed by her is called Yuelan, and she has also inquired during the day, this Ningshou Palace, except for the two grandmothers close to the Queen Mother, she is the only one who is a palace maid.
Looking around at them, no one dared to look her in the eyes, looking like a thief, and he must have come up with some kind of bad trick to deal with her.
Jinsu cautiously walked to her bed, unable to see anything wrong for a while, until she reached out and touched the quilt, and then realized the problem.
Jinsu pulled out the quilt, and a quilt slipped down, dripping and dripping, which shows how wet this quilt is.
"Who did this?" She asked.
The palace maids looked at each other, some sneered, some were surprised, and their expressions were different, but none of them paid attention to her.
"Nobody's talking, is it? Okay, then don't want to sleep," said Jin Su, who stepped forward and brought over the water that the palace maids led by him were combing, and shook it for a while, and the palace maids became nervous all of a sudden.
"Huh"
"Eh, don't, don't!"
At this moment, all the palace maids couldn't sit still, and got up one after another, blocking the bed, trying to comfort her.
"Don't don't, it's not that I'm not me," several of the maids shouted.
Now that there is a breakthrough, Jinsu of course wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue, "Who is that?" ”
"I don't know, it's not me anyway! Eh, don't, don't! It's not me! ”
Jin Su shook again, and finally poured the entire basin of water on Yuelan's bed, followed by the screams of everyone. Probably no one would have thought that she could have such courage.
"Ahh Yuelan screamed, walked in front of Jinsu in two steps, pointed at her and gritted her teeth and shouted, "Miss An, have you forgotten that this is Ningshou Palace, not Xiangguo Mansion!" Let you do whatever you want! ”
"Yuelan! I think you're the one who forgot! No matter where it is, I am the eldest lady of Xiangguo Mansion, and the Queen Mother can deal with the arrangements however she wants, but it will definitely not be your turn to spoil it! ”
Speaking of this, Jin Su glanced at Yuelan and the palace maids sharply, and said calmly, "I'm not a soft persimmon originally, if everyone can get along peacefully; If not, then I will accompany you to the end. ”
"You...... Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Queen Mother about this? Hum! Yue Lanyi said commandingly.
"Heh~" Jin Su snorted coldly, and half of the corners of his mouth smiled evilly, "You go, go now, I'm worried that I won't have a chance to meet the Queen Mother!" ”
"You...... Don't think I dare," Yuelan said as she was about to walk out.
The two palace maids on the side grabbed her and whispered, "You're crazy!" At this time, the Queen Mother is probably about to rest. ”
"Yes, if you anger the Queen Mother again, it is still us who will suffer, don't fall for her agitation."
"Isn't it possible?" Yuelan frowned and said unwillingly.
"Forget it, the future is long, we have a chance......"
The three of them whispered endlessly, Jin Su had no patience, snorted coldly, and deliberately sneered, "Do you dare to go?" If you don't go, I'll rest, and I won't have time to make trouble with you! ”
"You're ......! Have a rest? Is there a resting place for you in this house? Yuelan asked rhetorically.
"Yes, why not, there are so many beds here," Jinsu said, walking over to one of the clean-looking beds.
After yesterday's and today's observations, Jin Su has roughly figured out everyone's bed, and knowingly asked, "Whose bed is this?" ”
One of the palace maids who had comforted Yuelan just now replied unhappily, "It's mine!" ”
"I don't think you mind letting me squeeze with you, do you?" As she spoke, Jinsu unceremoniously opened the quilt and sat down to start tidying it up.
"I ...... I ......" hesitated for a long time, and finally said reluctantly, "How dare I squeeze a bed with Miss An, you can sleep steadily, and I will squeeze with other little sisters." ”
"Oh, thank you very much."
Such a result was expected by Jinsu. Feng Yao is right, the people in the palace are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, even if it is a big palace maid like Yuelan, who looks very powerful, she is just a paper tiger who only looks forward and backward.
She is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and she is not loved by the Queen Mother anyway, so she simply broke the jar and fell. Yuelan and other palace maids are different, they don't think about how to please the Queen Mother all the time, and naturally they don't want the Queen Mother to know that they can't even solve this little thing.
Tonight, Jinsu was the first to lie down. After she lay down, Yuelan and the two palace maids who comforted her, the others seemed to have made an appointment, and without saying a word, they quickly took off their clothes and rested.
She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, listening carefully to the movements of Yuelan and the three of them.
It is estimated that Yuelan was holding her breath, and there was no other movement except for the sound of heavy breathing. The other two palace maids discussed in a low voice how to sleep.
In the palace, the management is very strict, everyone's clothes and bedding are fixed, and the excess is rather put in the treasury to be moldy, and it will never be used by these subordinates at will.
Therefore, the quilt that Jinsu and Yuelan got wet on was not extra to replace. They decided to squeeze with other palace maids tonight, and then see if they could ask for a quilt tomorrow.
When the three of them quieted down and turned off the oil lamp, Jin Su gradually opened his eyes. Maybe I got enough sleep in the afternoon, so I can't seem to sleep at this time.
Soon, there was snoring one after another in her ears, Jin Su suddenly thought of Bai Qi and Bai Zhi, I don't know what happened to them, Bai Qi's temperament is so anxious, if she is not there, what should the people of Guihe Academy deliberately trouble her?
I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, it was already the morning of the third day after entering the palace. According to Aunt Wenli's words, she needs to wait for breakfast today.
After Jinsu got up and cleaned up, he was about to go out, but saw that there were still two people who had not woken up. When she raised her eyes, it was none other than Yuelan and another palace maid who comforted her.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jinsu's mind, she looked back at the neatly arranged quilt on the bed, and then quickly walked over, picked up her baggage, and spread it out to tidy up.
glanced back at Yuelan and the palace maid, and took advantage of her unpreparedness, and quickly exchanged the quilt she had covered last night with the quilt on the bed on the left.
The pattern and color of the two quilts are the same, the only difference is that the quilt she covered last night has an inconspicuous patch on the left corner, and she looked at it when she got up.
Then she put away her burden and put it next to the quilt she had just changed, so that people could see at a glance that this was the bed she slept in last night.
After everything was done, Jinsu walked outside, and when she went out, she looked carefully until she made sure that she couldn't see anything wrong, and then closed the door with a "squeak".
When I turned around, I happened to meet the real owner of the patch quilt, and came over with a basin of hot steamed buns.
The palace maid seemed to be a little afraid of Jinsu, and when she saw her, she immediately lowered her head.
Everything was just right, and Jin Su was thinking about looking for her, and she appeared.
"Eh," Jinsu wanted to call her, but didn't know her name for a while.
The palace maid stood two steps away from Jinsu, "Miss An, what do you command?" The tone was flat and distant.
"What's your name?"
"Poria."
Jin Su nodded, knowing in her heart that the "Ling" was indeed her name, but she muttered, "Poria is a good medicine, it is good for water and dampness, and it strengthens the spleen and calms the heart!" ”
"If Miss An is fine, Poria will retreat."
"Eh, wait!" Jin Su stopped Poria who was about to leave, stepped forward, and took out two pieces of loose silver from her waist, about two or three taels, stuffed them into her hand, and said politely.
"You didn't sleep last night, did you? Even if I'm a little cautious about this, I'm in a hurry this time, and I don't have much to bring, so you can take it first! ”
"This ......" Poria hesitated.
Jin Su pushed her hand, "Besides, I still have to stay in Ningshou Palace for a few days, and I have to trouble you to take care of it." You can take it with confidence, don't get along with the silver! ”
After some lobbying by her, Poria finally accepted the silver happily, her attitude suddenly became good, and she said politely, "Miss An is really polite, if Poria can help, you just have to tell me." ”
"It's nothing, I just hope to spend this time in Ningshou Palace in peace," after a pause, Jin Su leaned into Poria's ear and whispered, "I think, you should know what I mean." ”
After speaking, Jin Su gently patted Poria's shoulder, and then left first.
Fortunately, when she was leaving, Bai Qian gave her all the scattered silver on her body, but she didn't expect it to come in handy. Money can make ghosts grind, this sentence is really a wise saying everywhere, and she even regrets it now that she didn't bring more silver into the palace.
This combination of hard and soft, disintegrating the enemy from the inside, is what Jinsu is best at. Of course, Jinsu didn't expect to use this bit of silver to make Poria turn against her, but at least she could test the water and listen to it.
If she can't even deal with a few palace maids in Ningshou Palace, how can she talk about leaving the palace and taking revenge. The result came faster than she expected, and before noon, the Queen Mother sent someone to escort her back to Ningshou Palace.
