Zili's movements were neat, and the next day news came, saying that Mrs. Luoyan couldn't stand the torture and torture, and had hanged herself in prison. Yifang was watering the flowers when he heard the news, and the soil of the flowers was the red clay of Shanggong, which looked like the dagger that Zili had brought back last night, and it was faintly stained with a large patch of blood.

"After so many years, now that revenge has been avenged and people are dead, there is no regret." Yifang looked at the sunny sky outside, "Zili, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, since Mrs. Luoyan is dead, let's bury her well!" ”

"No." After Zili came to the palace, he was much more respectful to Yifang, and he was no longer as casual as before.

Accustomed to the days of living in the Jiaofang Palace, it has been two months later, and everything in the palace is still the same as many years ago, but things are different from people, and most of the faces today are not recognized.

Yifang was busy and asked Teng Ling to accompany him on the palace road, but he encountered many people bullying a little palace maid. She is new to the palace maids, she looks timid, and her face is stained with some mud, I don't know who is around her to make it bad.

There were eunuchs and palace maids around the little palace maid, and they were all babbling about something, and their voices were messy and inaudible, but they seemed to be accusing her.

Yi Fang waved his hand, and the palace people who followed behind him all stopped. The people over there turned their backs to them, and they didn't know that Yifang had been observing the movement over there, until finally a person caught a glimpse of Yifang's gaze, and then hurriedly beckoned everyone to turn around.

"The slave and maid see the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is happy."

"What are you doing here?" Yifang didn't directly reprimand them for what they did, but asked first.

The palace maids and eunuchs exchanged glances, and one of the leaders stood up and said, "This new girl is not sensible, she even spilled a lot of water in a bucket, we are teaching her!" ”

"Is that so?" Yi Fang looked at the little palace maid and seemed to want to refute, but she didn't say anything after all.

In fact, Yifang also knew that this was not the case, the little palace maid's dress was already wet, and there were some water stains near her shoulders, and the corners of her skirt were still dripping. In the wooden bucket she was carrying, more than half of the water was filled, and after walking such a long way, there was also a long trail on the palace road.

Yifang motioned to Teng Ling to help her up, and led her to her with a bucket.

"How did you get the water on you? Could it be that someone doused you from head to toe? The body is wet like this. Yifang glanced at the other people with his peripheral vision, and when he saw that they were trembling, he immediately understood the whole thing.

"Back to the queen's mother, it was the slave maid who got wet by herself, and it was the slave maid who accidentally fetched water." The little palace maid seemed to be afraid of saying the wrong thing, she should have been bullied by them for a while.

"Really? It's just a piece of water, if you can make it look like you, then isn't it like rain in the whole palace? Yi Fang continued to ask her, "You just fetched this bucket of water, and didn't do anything else?" ”

The little girl bit her lip and said nervously, "The slave has been fetching water all morning, that's why it's like this." ”

Yifang was taken aback, and said curiously: "Why is the amount of water used by your palace maids so large?" Isn't it enough for you to play all morning? What about the others, why didn't they come to help? ”

"Niangniang, the water in our palace maid's house is changed every ten days, and today is the time to change the water, so we need so much water, and it's not like this every day." A palace maid who seemed to be older hurriedly explained.

If so, why let her change it alone? Is there no one else in the palace maid's house but her? ”

"Niangniang, our palace maid has always been a place to employ people, and everyone else has a job, and they are busy! She was the only one left clumsy, and she couldn't do anything else, so the errand was left to her. ”

Yi Fang frowned vigorously and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Do you think this palace doesn't know?" Heavy work such as changing the water should be done by the eunuchs, when is it the turn of the palace maid, or the palace maid who has just entered the palace! ”

"This ...... This is really what the people above meant, the slave and maid just do what they are told, and ask the mother to forgive her sins! The palace maid in the back saw that Yifang was going to be angry, and hurriedly pushed the responsibility to others.

"Really? The people above? Yifang looked at her condescendingly, "Then tell me, who instructed you to do this?" Diligence Mama? ”

Yifang still remembers that when she was in the palace maid's office, she was also taken care of by Mama Qin. Although she has become a human spirit in the harem, she will not wantonly bully these new palace maids.

"No, it's not, it's Mama Gui, and now she is the master of the palace maid."

Although Yifang is taking care of the affairs of the palace these days, he thinks that some of the previous systems are still retained, which is not bad, so he has not set new rules one by one. She didn't know that the grandmothers in the palace maid's house had also changed, and she had never heard of this Gui Mama, she should be a latecomer.

"What about the old Qinma?"

"Mama Qin suffered from a leg disease, which got worse a few years ago, and passed away a year ago." The palace maid said and secretly looked at the Yi room.

Yi Fang's brows furrowed involuntarily, the one who had given her warmth in this palace in the past was now one less person. She sighed: "No matter what, the vicissitudes of life, in life, there will always be a day to leave." ”

"This palace may not have been to the palace maid's house for a long time, so let's go with you today to meet this arrogant and domineering Gui Mama!" Yifang had nothing to do anyway, so he let the palace maid lead the way, and quietly went to the palace maid.

The palace maid's house is still located in the memory position, still the same size as before, but the two trees at the palace gate are getting taller and taller, but the palace wall is more mottled by the rain. Yifang stayed at the door for a while, recalling the past time, and after a moment he retracted his thoughts and quietly stepped inside.

Yifang asked people to stop the eunuch who wanted to go in to report, but she wanted to see what these people were usually doing, whether they were really as busy as the palace maid said before, and even a few people who fetched water couldn't spare it. With such an arrangement, the face of the palace maid who spoke just now was even worse, and Yi Fang knew it in her heart.

There are few people in the courtyard of the palace maid's house, and you can almost only see two little girls cleaning, they both look timid, and they have only just entered the palace. At this moment, a loud laughter came from the back room, where there seemed to be a large number of people gathered, and Yifang followed the sound to go inside.

"Buy big! Buy big! ”

"What a big deal! Buy small! This time it's definitely small, you can't go wrong! ”

There seemed to be people gambling inside, and after a commotion, some people let out excited exclamations, and some people sighed. Then the voice was quiet for a while, and a flattering female voice sounded.

"Mama Gui, this is what we honor you, you have exempted us from the work, and handed it over to that stupid girl to do it, and let us have fun here, we all thank you. These money are some of our small thoughts, and you can definitely accept them. ”

"You still have a little filial piety. Don't worry, with my Mama Gui for one day, there will be a day for you to eat and drink. With a burst of smug laughter, the people inside also flattered.

Yi Fang glanced at the eunuchs beside him, and they kicked the door open, and one of them reported in a high-pitched voice: "The queen has arrived—"

The people inside immediately panicked and hurriedly hid the things on the table, but it was to no avail. Yifang listened to the door for a while, and then he knew what was going on inside, and he also understood that this palace maid's house was indeed going to be rectified.

"The slave and maid see the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is happy." The voices of these people were a little frightened, and they did not have the arrogance of the fun just now.

"The queen mother came over and no one reported it, you dog minions, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!" Mama Gui scolded, but her eyes wandered around.

"Who the hell ate the bear's heart leopard gall?" Yifang felt that it would take a while for the matter here to be resolved, so he simply sat down on the chair, "Even if someone reports that Mama Gui is just playing on the head, I'm afraid she won't realize that this palace is coming, right?" ”

"Niangniang said with a smile, if the slave knows that Niangniang is here, she will definitely bring someone to the door of the palace maid's house to wait." Mama Gui smiled flatteringly, as if she didn't know what her fate would be next.

"It's rare that Mama Gui still remembers that this is the palace maid's house, and when the palace just came in, she thought that this place had been transformed into a gambling house!" As soon as Yifang's words came out, Mama Gui was startled. She had been lucky enough to expect that Yifang would come here suddenly, and she didn't stay outside for long, thinking that she didn't know what was going on in this room.

"Niangniang misunderstood, we just had a few games in our spare time, and today we just let Niangniang run into it." Mama Gui gave the people around her a look, and they said so together.

"Leisure time? Is there no work to be done in the palace maid's house? Yifang deliberately asked this question.

Mama Gui nodded again and again: "Yes, today's work is done." ”

"Come here." Yi Fang waved his hand behind him, and the little palace maid who was soaked just now stepped forward, holding a wooden bucket filled with most of the water in her hand.

"I heard from the people of your palace maid that today is the day when the palace maid changes the water, and there are several large tanks of water to be fetched. Why do you say you're done? ”

"This ......," Mama Gui rolled her eyes, "...... This work is assigned to everyone, and other people's work is done, but this palace maid has not finished it. She is clumsy on weekdays, and it is common for her to procrastinate. ”

"Really? From the perspective of this palace, it is you who rely on your qualifications in the palace for a few years to bully these newcomers who have just entered the palace, right? Yi Fang slammed the table, startling everyone present.
