Chapter 19: Lady Moon's Awesomeness
"Fish girl, please get off the sedan chair, this is the inner city in front, and the sedan chair can't go any further. Grandpa Rui's words pulled Yu Die'er's thoughts back.
Yu Die got off the sedan chair and looked around, it was indeed past the front hall, this huge palace, Yu Die was as small as a piece of dust in it!
Qiu Chi country's palace Evergreen Palace faces south and back to north, the front hall and the harem, the emperor's court, office, and the imperial study, are all located in the south, collectively referred to as the front hall, after the front hall will enter the inner city, the three palaces and six courtyards of the inner city are the royal living area, and the carriages and sedan chairs of the relatives are not allowed to enter, not to mention the nobody. The palace of the emperor and the concubines is located in the north of the inner city and is called the harem.
The princes and princesses lived in the harem in the north with their mothers when they were young, and moved to the residence of the imperial heir in the west after they reached the age of ten. However, although the crown prince lives in the palace, in order to avoid suspicion that the prince will not be summoned or have something to do when he becomes an adult, he is not allowed to enter and leave the emperor's harem at will.
Yu Die'er followed Liyuan and Rui's father-in-law all the way to the east, except for encountering a few patrolling guards on the way, but it was lonely.
A few people didn't walk fast, and it was too late to reach the west.
"Xiao Xizi, take the girl to the backyard to settle down and let the girl rest, find a better place to live, I think it's Zitang Garden." Grandpa Rui greeted a little eunuch.
Father-in-law Rui has always been with the prince, he is the chief eunuch of the East Palace, the prince actually sent him out of the palace to pick up a folk girl, he also can't figure it out, can such a trivial matter use a knife? Maybe this girl has some origins? Maybe it is a relative of which minister? It is always right to arrange some by himself, Zitang Yuan is the residence of a first-class palace maid, and she lives by the side of the master, which is a hundred times stronger than the residence of those girls who burn fire and wash clothes!
"The girl is resting first, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still discussing matters in the Ninghe Palace, our family will go there with the guards to wait, and when His Royal Highness comes back, we will call the girl to arrange errands." "Grandpa Rui is polite.
Father-in-law Rui always thought that Yu Die'er was recommended by someone with a bit of background to enter the palace to do things, but the prince only ordered to pick up people and didn't say any errands, and it was inconvenient for him to do things privately, but looking at the appearance, how could he be a first-class palace maid by teaching etiquette, and he was a little bent in doing rough work, and Grandpa Rui pondered in his heart.
"There's Father-in-law Lao, you should be busy first. Yu Die'er smiled, she just wanted to be a maid when she entered the palace, and kill someone by the way!
"The big and small affairs of the Chu Qing Palace will also be introduced to the girl by the way!" Father-in-law Rui added another sentence to the little eunuch, and then left in a hurry with Liyuan.
Father-in-law Rui said vaguely, but Yu Die'er understood it, saying that it was an introduction, but in fact, he wanted the little eunuch to teach himself the rules, don't make trouble, in the palace, the wealth is extreme, but also the danger, which sentence is not right, which god is provoked, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the life of the upper body, and it will also affect the master!
"Come with me. The little eunuch named Xiao Xizi led Yu Die'er to the backyard.
"You're new here, right?" Xiao Xizi was also the new palace maid sent by the Department of Affairs, but seeing that Grandpa Rui was a little polite to her, he asked uncertainly.
"Yes, my name is Yu Die'er, what about you?" Yu Die'er replied with a smile, this little eunuch named Xiao Xizi looked quite kind.
"My name is Li Shunxi, they all call me Xiaoxizi, I have been in the palace for six years, and I have been in Chuqing Palace for two years. Kiko said.
"There are some things you don't know when you first came, remember that there are a few people in this palace who must not be offended, otherwise you will suffer. Kiko lowered her voice.
"Which people?" asked Yu Die'er curiously!
Xiao Xizi raised his eyes to look around to see that there was no one, and then said: "One is Mama Gui who is in charge of the kitchen and laundry, one is Mrs. Yue of Feiyun Pavilion, and the other is Qin Ruoliu, the steward of Zitang Garden. ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Yu Die'er is sincerely grateful, after all, a newcomer will say these things to you, and he is also taking risks.
Xiao Xizi didn't know why she reminded her, maybe she didn't want this new girl to suffer like Lanxiang!
As they spoke, they arrived at Zitang Garden, and before the two of them entered the door, they heard a woman's scolding, accompanied by miserable cries and begging for mercy.
"Lanxiang?" Xiao Xizi couldn't care about the fish and butterflies after speaking, so she ran in.
When Yu Butterfly entered, she saw this scene.
A man lying on a bench cried out for mercy, and two eunuchs whipped her with whips on the left and the right.
A gorgeously dressed woman sat on a chair not far away, surrounded by several palace maids and eunuchs, and a palace maid kneeling in front of the woman.
"Ruyi, look at you are silent on weekdays, I didn't expect you to have this hand?
"Mrs. Yue, Ruyi doesn't know what you're talking about? The slave has never done anything, she doesn't know anything. The palace maid called Ruyi knelt there, shook her head again and again, her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, she did it secretly, I didn't expect Mrs. Yue to suspect her so quickly, this Mrs. Yue is notoriously ruthless, if you tell the truth, I'm afraid you can't have a life, but don't say it, if Lan Xiang says it, she can't have a life, now she has to carry it hard, not to mention that there is always a glimmer of life.
"If you don't say it, I'll kill Lan Xiang and clean you up!
Speaking of Lanxiang, Ruyi felt guilty in her heart, but people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves! So she gritted her teeth and said: "Mrs. Yue, the slave maid really hasn't done anything, the slave maid really has nothing to say." ”
"Yes? It seems that you won't say anything if you don't suffer a little? Mrs. Yue, who was sitting in the chair, stood up and said viciously.
"Yes!" Several eunuchs came over and put Ruyi on another bench on the side, and the stick was on his body, and Ruyi gritted his teeth without screaming.
"Lan Xiang, you are really honest, she doesn't care about your life or death, and you keep it secret for her, is it worth it? As long as you tell me what you see, I will give you a steward to do, and ensure that you will eat and drink spicy food in the future." Mrs. Yue walked to another bench side by side with Ruyi, inducing Lan Xiang, who was covered in blood on the stool.
Lan Xiang struggled and raised her head: "Madam, the slave didn't see anything, you just killed the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid still said this." ”
Mrs. Yue reached out and grabbed Lan Xiang's hair, and threatened: "Okay, it's all hard bones, see how hard you are, keep fighting!"
"Mrs. Yue, please spare Lan Xiang! The slave kowtowed to you, if you want to beat the minion, Lan Xiang is already like this, and if you beat her again, she will die." Xiao Xizi knelt beside Lan Xiang and kowtowed to Mrs. Yue like pounding garlic!
"Yo, who should I be, little Kiko, get up quickly. Mrs. Yue glanced at Xiao Xizi out of the corner of her eyes, but her attitude was still ruthless!" ”
Xiao Xizi was recently promoted to serve in the Star Picking Hall because of her cleverness and sensibility, and she was also a person who could see the prince every day, and she had a good relationship with Rui's father-in-law, so Mrs. Yue was a little jealous of him, she had always climbed high and stepped low, otherwise I am afraid that even Xiao Xizi would have to fight together! But Xiao Xizi is just a little eunuch after all, Mrs. Yue will not punish him, but she will not take into account his pleas and release him.
"Keep fighting, fight until you say it, I don't believe they are iron-mouthed and steel-toothed!" Mrs. Yue flicked her sleeves, walked back to the chair and sat down, and the palace maid next to her hurriedly handed over tea.
"Bah, bah, I'm going to die, it's so hot, I'm going to burn me, isn't it?" Mrs. Yue raised her eyebrows, and the palace maid who handed the tea trembled and knelt down: "Madame, forgive the sins, spare the slave and maid this time." Madame Moon frowned and glanced at her, then glanced away.
"It's not going down yet, clumsy!" a plump and mellow palace maid beside Mrs. Yue shouted, and said to Mrs. Yue with a happy eyebrow: "Madame, don't be angry, your anger hurts your body, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will feel distressed if he knows!"
This was really useful, and Mrs. Yue raised her pretty face: "Ruoliu, you can talk and make me happy." ”
"What kind of coaxing, His Royal Highness has always been very fond of his wife, who doesn't know?" said the palace maid again.
Yu Die'er understood, it turned out that she was Qin Ruoliu that Xiao Xizi said just now, and her flattering skills were first-class!
At this time, Ruyi had already endured more than a dozen sticks, and she couldn't help screaming.
"Shut your mouth and hit hard!" Lady Moon commanded.
Immediately, someone gagged Ruyi and Lanxiang with rags, and they couldn't shout, only whimpering.
Xiao Xizi cried bitterly, he knew that Lan Xiang and Ruyi were in a catastrophe, and Mrs. Yue had secretly killed more than one palace maid.
"Stop! you're going to beat them to death!" Yu Die'er didn't want to cause trouble when she first came, but she just watched someone killed, and she really couldn't bear to sit idly by!
"Who are you?" Qin Ruoliu asked.
At this time, the people in the courtyard noticed Yu Die'er, and they all looked at Miansheng, and Mrs. Yue also looked at Yu Die'er suspiciously.
