Chapter 105: No Escape
The palace maid decided that Tang Jingchen was a rough palace maid who couldn't be put on the stage, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that the ghost she found was good enough, not only did she not feel suspicious, but said happily: "I'll take you there." ”
Tang Jingchen was helpless, so she had to be dragged away by her and came to Chuxiu Palace.
The palace maid Nunu mouthed, "Oh, Concubine Wan lives in the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, you can go in." ”
Tang Jingchen nodded, making it look like she was going to go in, but she was grinding, thinking that she would slip away when the palace maid left, and throw away the food box at will, so that she could continue to find Xinyun and Chunlan Dongxue, who knew that the palace maid also had similar thoughts, and she must wait for Tang Jingchen to go in to ensure that the plan was successful before leaving.
The two were at a stalemate for a moment.
There was a faint sound of footsteps in the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace, and the palace maid immediately slipped away, but Tang Jingchen was a step slower, and was stopped by the eunuch who heard the movement and came out to check.
"Hey, where are you a slave on an errand, what are you doing in our Chuxiu Palace?"
Tang Jingchen secretly complained in his heart, knowing that something was wrong with the palace maid, but he couldn't say it at this time, and he made up his mind not to give the food box to the eunuch, otherwise if something happened to Shu Ying, he would be in a catastrophe.
Before she could think of her words, the eunuch had already seen the food box, "You came from the imperial dining room to deliver food to Concubine Wan?" Let's go in, Niangniang is in a good mood this time, maybe she will reward you, you get a reward, but don't forget to share half of our family. ”
Tang Jingchen lowered his head, changed his voice and said: "The slave is a rough person, I have never seen my mother, it will be bad if I collide, it will be bad if I collide, let my father-in-law take it in, if my mother has a reward, it is all my father-in-law's." ”
The eunuch sneered in his nose, "It's obvious that you sent the meal, what's the matter with our family taking it in, you go." ”
While speaking, he pushed Tang Jingchen inside.
Tang Jingchen was shocked and scared in his heart, shocked that this eunuch may be all the way with the palace maid, the two conspired to kill Shu Ying, I don't know how many people in this Chuxiu Palace have ghosts, and at the same time, I thought that I was listening to the rain that day, and the dirty thoughts of the people were only afraid that they would be too much.
What I'm afraid of is that once she sees Shu Ying, she will definitely recognize herself, and then she will alarm the Queen Mother, and she will have no good fruit to eat.
But the matter has come to this point, and she can't be allowed to escape, so she can only take one step at a time.
Tang Jingchen stubbornly entered the main hall of Chuxiu Palace.
Shu Ying was sitting upright, eating grapes, and the eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "Qi Yu Niangniang, the imperial dining room has brought you food, can you eat it while it's hot?" ”
Glanced up at Tang Jingchen carelessly, the main hall of Chuxiu Palace was tall and vast, Tang Jingchen was standing at the door with his back to the light and his head down, Shu Ying didn't recognize her, and waved his hand lazily: "Put it there first, this palace is lazy to eat now." ”
The eunuch was anxious, "Niangniang, the food will be cold after a while, and I can't eat it." ”
Shu Ying rolled her eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't look at who Bengong is now, with Bengong's current identity and the dragon fetus in his belly, let the imperial dining room make a new one when the food is cold, what a big idea is worth it for you." ”
Tang Jingchen was overjoyed, hurriedly put the food box on the table not far from the door, and quickly retreated, one foot just stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, and Shu Ying shouted behind him: "Stop." ”
The footsteps immediately stopped, Tang Jingchen went from joy to surprise, just thinking that he was recognized, cold sweat flowed out in an instant, and he soaked his close-fitting clothes.
"Xiangxiu, reward her with silver." After instructing the personal palace maid, Shu Ying said to Tang Jingchen again: "This palace has never been so stingy, you will naturally be rewarded for coming to this palace to deliver food." ”
Xiangxiu took the silver and held it in her hand, seeing that Tang Jingchen did not move, she was not satisfied, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come over and thank you quickly?" ”
Tang Jingchen had no choice but to retract his feet, turned around and walked a few steps into the main hall, recalling the etiquette of the palace maid kneeling down for the master, and forced his voice to say: "Thank you for the reward." ”
Xiangxiu handed the silver to Tang Jingchen, and Tang Jingchen had no choice but to reach out and take it.
Inadvertently, Xiangxiu glanced at Tang Jingchen's hand, and then lost her voice: "Your hand is ......"
Tang Jingchen thought that it would be fine if she accepted the reward, but hearing Xiangxiu shouting like this, she couldn't help but look at her hand, and her heart suddenly tightened, she was a slave in Xinzheku, and she used cold water to brush the toilet in the middle of winter, and her hands were covered with layers of chilblains and cracks.
Although I haven't brushed it for a few days, this chilblain crack and blood can't disappear in a while.
But ordinary palace maids don't have this thing, even if they are palace maids who work on errands in the imperial dining room, as long as they can be sent out to walk around, they won't have flaws such as chilblains, so as not to startle the master.
Shu Ying had already opened her mouth to ask, "What's wrong?" ”
Although Xiangxiu has not served Shu Ying for a long time, she also knows that this master hates fuss the most, and likes pomp, so she knelt down and said: "It's nothing, the slave just saw that she had chilblains on her hands, and accidentally called out, and hoped that the mother would forgive her sins." ”
Sure enough, Shu Ying was a little unhappy, "I'm shocked, I really can't get on the table, what's wrong with chilblains, I scared you to death if I didn't get it." ”
For a while, he said: "The most annoying thing in this palace is these rules, how can people who do work not have chilblains in winter, there is a fuss in the palace, they have the ability, they don't eat pigs raised by the grain grown by farmers!" ”
When Tang Jingchen heard this, he realized that Shu Ying was favored by the emperor so much, and the palace maid was made a concubine in a short time, not simply because she looked like Niu Huijuan.
This kind of empathy for the working people is impossible for other concubines from official eunuchs' families, and they can't think of it at all.
Indeed, Shu Ying was carefully selected by the first queen to be dedicated to the emperor, not only is her appearance three or four points similar, but her background is almost the same, but the first queen is unlucky, she just found Shu Ying to catch up with the draft, and then Tang Jingchen entered the palace to accept the favor, and there was nothing else to do.
However, Indolun also had similar thoughts, and Shu Ying still followed the emperor in the end.
And because she was a real peasant girl, she evoked a lot of memories of the emperor's past, so Shu Ying's favor is related to her appearance, but not entirely related to her appearance.
Because of the chilblains, Shu Ying's memories of her past life, and because the emperor liked her like this, she had to perform again, and said to Tang Jingchen: "You come forward and let the palace take a closer look, poor people, having chilblains is not a comfortable thing." ”
I thought in my heart that when the emperor came to visit him, there was something to say, and the emperor would inevitably pity himself even more.
Tang Jingchen is going crazy, now that he is far away, Shu Ying still can't recognize himself, if he is close, Shu Ying is not blind, where is the reason why he can't recognize it?
She knelt there, unable to think of a way for a while, Xiangxiu had already shouted: "Niangniang asked you to come forward, why don't you come over quickly." ”
