Chapter 219
Yao Doudou slept until dawn, and no one came to serve, and Ma Pan Yongzhu was nowhere to be seen, she walked to the dresser and simply tidied up, not wanting her stomach to rumble again.
"Little Liuzi, Princess Yongzhu."
Yao Doudou yelled a few times at the empty Feixia Palace, but no one responded, so she thought about going out to take a look.
Yao Doudou crossed the threshold of Feixia Palace, and saw Princess Yongzhu in the flower garden as if she was digging something, when Yao Doudou walked in front of Princess Yongzhu, she saw Princess Yongzhu with her hands full of dirt, and in her hands was holding a handful of white unknown rhizomes.
"Princess Yongzhu, what are you doing here?"
Regarding Yao Doudou's curiosity, Princess Yongzhu stood up again and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"I'm making breakfast, this thing is called bellflower, it can be used as medicine, it has the effect of promoting lung and expectorant, and it can also be used as food, although the taste is not very good, but it is better than being hungry."
Princess Yongzhu said and walked towards the water tank, Yao Doudou said that she was confused, thinking that this Princess Yongzhu was probably the most pitiful and depressed princess in the world, and she actually wanted to dig bellflower to make breakfast.
Princess Yongzhu washed the bellflower and ate it with relish, while Yao Doudou swallowed her saliva and called Xiao Liuzi twice in the garden.
"Don't shout, that guy won't appear again, this Feixia Palace is a cold palace, not only is no one to serve, not even a food deliverer, Tiannu, you better come and eat bellflower with me."
After Princess Yongzhu finished chewing two bellflowers, she wanted to give the remaining bellflowers to Yao Doudou, but Yao Doudou didn't appreciate it at all.
"I'm the emperor's own goddess, he shouldn't treat me like this."
Yao Doudou didn't believe what Princess Yongzhu said at all, but in fact, she and Princess Yongzhu waited in Feixia Palace all day, and no one came to talk.
Yao Doudou stood in front of the palace gate and almost fell asleep, while Princess Yongzhu was already lying on the threshold and sleeping like a dead pig.
"I really didn't expect that the eunuchs in this palace are really snobbish, even if they don't treat Princess Yongzhu as a human being, at least they have to take care of me."
Yao Doudou muttered to himself for a while, and felt that it was better to sit back and find a way to survive.
As soon as Yao Doudou walked out of Feixia Palace, he saw Xiao Liuzi chatting with an old eunuch, and the content of their conversation was roughly that Yao Doudou offended Princess Xing'er last night, so Princess Xing'er told Xiao Liuzi not to care about Yao Doudou's life or death, and when Yao Doudou was desperate, he would go to Xingyue Palace to find Princess Xing'er.
Yao Doudou also never thought that the open and secret battles in this palace would be so fierce, although Princess Xing'er was polite to her on the surface, she didn't really treat her as a friend in her bones, she wanted to break the conversation between the two eunuchs, but after thinking about it, these slaves were just instructed by others, even if she scolded these two minions, it would be useless in the end.
Xiao Liuzi and the old eunuch wanted to talk for a while, but when they saw the Yulin guards coming this way, they gave each other their hands and dispersed.
Pei Shaoling walked in front of Yao Doudou and gave Yao Doudou a bow, and Yao Doudou also nodded to Pei Shaoling in return.
"Heavenly Maiden, it's not early this day, you better go back to the palace to rest, thinking about the inner courtyard of the deep palace, this is not the place where you, a folk woman, should come and stay."
Pei Shaoling was about to leave after speaking, but Yao Doudou said with a little embarrassment.
"General Pei, do you have anything to eat?"
Pei Shaoling couldn't help frowning again when he saw Yao Doudou caressing his stomach.
"Are you thinking about peaches?"
Pei Shaoling raised his hand when he said this, and the other Yulin guards went to patrol on their own.
"Peaches?"
Pei Shaoling saw that Yao Doudou was asking knowingly, so he pushed her into the corner of the wall on the side.
"I never thought that the Heavenly Maiden would also like Wushisan."
Pei Shaoling said and took out a packet of medicinal powder from his sleeve.
"If you and I know each other, even if you have five hundred taels and one pack."
After Pei Shaoling finished speaking, Yao Doudou's expression was indifferent.
"General Pei, are you thinking about peaches? Five hundred taels, I have five hundred taels and can still ask you for food. ”
Pei Shaoling saw that Yao Doudou couldn't afford Wushisan, so he took Wushisan back into his sleeve.
"If you don't have money, you still ask for a yarn."
Yao Doudou saw Pei Shaoling's disgusted look, and was instantly stunned, and the young hero who originally existed in her heart was gone.
"Are you very short of money, why do you want to sell five stone powder in the palace."
Yao Doudou said angrily, but Pei Shaoling didn't bother to explain to her.
Pei Shaoling wanted to leave, but Yao Doudou grabbed his sleeve and refused to let him go.
"What are you going to do, if you don't let go, I'll ......"
Before Pei Shaoling finished speaking, Yao Doudou directly choked back.
"Tell me, why do you want to sell five stone powder in the palace, if you don't make it clear, I will immediately shout indecent."
Pei Shaoling saw Yao Doudou's serious face, it shouldn't be like he was joking.
Pei Shaoling was silent for a long time before he sighed lightly.
"Well, for the sake of you not being a person in the court, I am not afraid to tell you the truth, I have a good brother who was born and died in the army, only because of this person is loyal and upright by nature, some time ago he offended Wang Youliang, the prime minister of Zuo, because of his whims, and this Wang Youliang casually found a crime and put him in prison, the world knows, my father and Wang Youliang have always been at odds, so I can't openly ask Wang Youliang to let my brother go, so Wang Youliang's son Wang Mengxi made a price for my brother's family, so ......"
When Pei Shaoling said this, his face showed a hint of rarity.
"How much?"
Yao Doudou asked curiously.
Pei Shaoling hesitated for a moment, and then said 20,000 taels.
"Those of us who were born in the military rely on the court's money to support our families, how can we get silver with a little effort, and the concubines in this palace like to scatter five stones, so I was forced to do this kind of unsightly thing."
When Pei Shaoling said this, he showed a hint of heroic loneliness.
"Even if you're short of money, you don't need to do this kind of thing, can't you go and borrow it from a friend?"
Yao Doudou asked this, and Pei Shaoling showed a trace of helplessness.
"I've been fighting abroad all the year round, and I've met friends on the battlefield, and everyone has difficulties when it comes to money, and my brother is about to pronounce a sentence, if he can't get together the money in time, I'm afraid he will have to send out the frontier and die on the border."
Yao Doudou saw that Pei Shaoling's words were sincere, and it shouldn't seem like he was lying, so he thought about helping him.
"By the way, since you don't want peaches, why are you asking me for them?"
Yao Doudou saw Pei Shaoling's curiosity, so he turned over and pressed Pei Shaoling against the wall.
"Guess what I want to eat?"
