Chapter 731: The palace maid intercedes
Mu Xiwan saw that the other palace maids had already left, and she recognized it, and it was the palace maid in the northwest corner who called out to her.
Thinking that she might have something, Mu Xiwan stopped and asked:
"But what's the matter?"
Seeing that she did not have any dissatisfaction, the palace maid knelt down at once, remembering her master, she gritted her teeth, and continued:
"The crown princess is benevolent, and the slave has the audacity to ask you to stay this time because of one thing."
After speaking, the palace maid kowtowed.
This time, Mu Xiwan was interested, and she wanted to know what this little palace maid could ask her for.
"Say, listen to this palace, what do you ask for this palace."
The palace maid was overjoyed when she saw that she was willing to listen, and her eyes looked at Mu Xiwan with some fanaticism, as if she was some kind of savior.
"Back to the crown princess, the slave maid's name is Xiurong, she is the palace maid of the Luomei people, this time the slave and maid are not asking for themselves, but for my master, the slave and maid dare not criticize the royal family, but they still want to risk death to ask, all the concubines, do they need to be buried?"
This is unusual, Mu Xiwan originally thought that what she asked for was for herself, but she didn't expect that she actually asked for her master.
But this Lomé? She really hadn't heard of it.
"You palace maid has a heart, I don't know who your master Luo Mei is?"
The palace maid Xiurong felt that there was a play, so she told all the situation of the Lomei people in 1510.
It turned out that this Lomei was named Luo Ling, the daughter of a Shangshu, who caught up with the draft and was selected into the palace and named a Lomer.
This Lomé has no ambition after entering the palace, and he doesn't want to get any favor from the emperor. So after arriving in the palace, he was assigned to a side courtyard, appreciating flowers, composing poems, gentle and kind, treating people very well, and living a life without quarrel in this cold and ruthless deep palace.
But because she doesn't earn anything, she doesn't have any power, and the family slowly gave up on her, and the group of palace maids and eunuchs are the most snobbish, seeing that she is not favored, they will deduct her money, so the life is also poor, but the Luomei people did not complain about anything, and still lived a life without quarrel, and in the end, Xiurong stayed by her side.
Speaking of which, this Lomei is also Xiurong's life-saving benefactor, Xiurong was bullied by other palace maids as soon as she entered the palace, and Lomei saved her when she saw her and kept her by her side.
Xiurong is loyal, in addition to saving her life, seeing that her master is so good, and she is only in her prime for two years, when she is in her prime, why did she go to accompany Tibet in such an unknown way, they have not even seen the emperor a few times, so Xiurong is unwilling, and today she sees Mu Xi and talks well, so she risked death to ask for it.
"Crown Princess, Xiurong has no other extravagant hopes, I just hope to let my master go, I prefer to exchange my life for a life, and go to the funeral for my master."
Xiurong kowtowed to Mu Xiwan again, she was sincere, with determination on her face, and she was not half unhappy, she really wanted to go to the funeral for her master.
In fact, where did she know, if it was really a funeral, there was absolutely no stand-in, she was a palace maid, where could she compare to the concubine Jin, and once the stand-in was discovered, it would be the crime of bullying the king, and it was a big crime of the Nine Clans.
However, Xiurong is from the countryside, illiterate, and has not read, she doesn't understand these rules, she just thinks that since she needs a life to accompany the funeral, it would be good to have one life for another.
Now Mu Xiwan is curious, curious about this Lomé, I don't know what kind of person it is, it can be so good that a person is willing to die for her.
"Get up, you are a palace maid, it is impossible for you to go to the funeral for the concubine, that is a big crime of killing the head."
Mu Xiwan let Xiurong get up and said softly.
In an instant, Xiurong's face darkened, and the light in her eyes dimmed, and she stood up obediently, in a trance, and murmured:
"Can't I save my master?"
After saying this, a line of tears fell from her eyes.
Seeing her crying, Mu Xiwan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly said:
"Don't cry first, I didn't say that your master would go to the funeral, don't worry, the funeral is all rumors, and there is no such thing, so your master will not go to the funeral."
Xiurong's mood that had already fallen to the bottom of the cliff suddenly flew into the sky again, and she couldn't even stand it with big ups and downs, and she grinned with tears.
"Crown Princess, are you telling the truth?"
Xiurong asked her cautiously, and a pair of eyes regained their light with hope in their eyes.
It's rare that she has a true temperament, so Mu Xiwan didn't care about her rudeness, nodded, and said it again.
"Yes, there is no such thing as a burial, there will be no burial, nothing like this will happen."
The smile increased a lot, Xiurong felt that she could jump up, this is really good, her master was able to survive, how could such a good master go to the funeral? She said that the Bodhisattva would bless her master.
"Thank you, Princess, thank you."
Xiurong knelt down all of a sudden, kowtowed several times, and thanked him excitedly over and over again.
Seeing her childlike heart, Mu Xiwan laughed rarely, did not offend her, and reminded her softly.
"Go, report the good news to your master."
After listening to her words, Xiurong nodded heavily, said a word to her, and ran away, probably to report the good news to her master.
After solving Xiurong's matter, Mu Xiwan walked back and came to the pavilion before, and saw the two little guys sitting there obediently, the pastries had been eaten, and the palace maid was guarding the side.
The palace maid saw Mu Xi coming back late, and she wanted to stop talking, she wanted to ask how the palace maids were, she knew Xiurong,
Mu Xiwan saw that the palace maid had something to say, so she came to the child and said a word.
"What do you want to say?"
The palace maid hurriedly knelt down, a little flustered, but still gritted her teeth and said:
"Ask the princess for forgiveness, the slave knows one of the four palace maids, the slave and the maid are brave and want to ask for a favor for her, she is not sensible, she is illiterate, a little stupid, she bumped into the princess, and asked the princess to forgive her sins."
This made Mu Xiwan a little surprised, and asked the palace maid:
"Which one do you know?"
The palace maid did not dare to hide it and replied:
"Back to the crown princess, the slave knows Xiurong."
I didn't expect that the person she knew was Xiurong.
"It's okay, those four palace maids are not at fault, and they didn't punish them, but they just scared them and taught them a long lesson."
The palace maid has been with Mu Xiwan for a while, and she has almost figured out her temperament, knowing that she is kind-hearted and easy to talk to, so she dares to plead, and she will not embarrass them if she wants to.
Immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the palace maid gratefully kowtowed to the crown princess and thanked:
"Thank you, Crown Princess."
Mu Xiwan nodded indifferently, and kept in mind what Xiurong said about the funeral today.
