As the night deepened, Lu Qingjin lit a candle by himself.

Usually these things were done by Binglan and the others, and she never had to do them herself.

It's just that Jingshu was forcibly sent by her to take care of Binglan recently, and there is no capable person around her.

She doesn't worry about handing over Binglan to others, plus she is the same Binglan sister as Jing Shuqing, she will definitely take care of it.

There was nothing wrong with her own side, and Qin Zhao also respected her decision, and rearranged a raw maid to serve her.

But for some reason, the maid seemed to be very afraid of her, and usually did not dare to come in and out of her house at will, nor did she dare to come to her without receiving orders.

Lu Qingjin felt very helpless about this, could she be some kind of demon and monster? actually scared the little girl like this.

The master and servant looked a little estranged, but she didn't take this matter to heart, thinking that maybe it was because she had never been in contact before, anyway, she didn't plan to take in the new maids, just wait for Binglan and them to come back.

Lu Qingjin came to the window with a candle, the sound of frogs outside the house appeared from time to time, she raised her hand to push open the window, and the crisp sound of frogs in the night suddenly became clear.

She suddenly became interested, how could there be frog chirping in this place? Could it be that there are paddy fields nearby?

Lu Qingjin put down the candle and walked out, there was a bright moon hanging in the night sky, and the scenery outside looked brighter than the house.

"Niangniang......" The maid suddenly appeared and stopped her tremblingly.

"What's wrong?" She asked, looking back.

The maid pursed her lips in fear and asked, "It's not early, where are you going?" ”

Lu Qingjin suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, is this maid spying on herself?

"Where does this palace go, do I still need to report to you?" She looked at the maid with a blank expression.

"Mother's misunderstanding!" The maid raised her head in a panic, "The slave is afraid that it will be late at night, and it is not safe for the mother to travel alone!" ”

Lu Qingjin didn't believe this statement immediately, she stared at the maid intently, as if she wanted to stare out of the girl's body.

The maid was uncomfortable being stared at, and her body was constantly trembling.

Lu Qingjin retracted her gaze and stopped looking at the maid, she hadn't done anything yet, people were already scared like this, eighty percent of them had ghosts in their hearts, and she didn't poke them, thinking that this maid would always show her feet one day.

"In that case, then you can come with me." She turned around and walked out slowly, and the maid hurriedly followed her when she heard this.

Lu Qingjin wandered all the way, looking for the sound of frogs, and came to a vast paddy field.

She opened her arms, took a deep breath, and exhaled it again.

This kind of relaxed and comfortable life is what she really yearns for, and what she dreams of the most.

In contrast, life in the palace is really too confined and unfree.

However, she didn't think about escaping, because there was only Qin Zhao in the palace.

Now, let's cherish the comfortable life in front of you.

The maid had been following her ever since she came, keeping a distance from her.

Lu Qingjin turned around and beckoned to her, "You come here." ”

The maid trotted closer, and asked, "Niangniang, what do you command?" ”

"There's nothing to say, it's too quiet here, Bengong is not used to it, you can chat with Bengong." She lazily said that maybe she could get something out of the girl's mouth.

"Niangniang, the slave is from a low background, I'm afraid what she says will not be to your liking." The maid hung her head cautiously.

Lu Qingjin was stunned for a moment, and then said earnestly, "Everyone is born equal, and the level of their background is ...... It's not something you can decide, and you don't have to feel inferior because of it. ”

"Thank you for your comfort, the slave understands." The maid seemed relieved.

"I've never seen you before, are you new here?" Lu Qingjin asked.

"The slave was an orphan, wandering alone in this world, and at the age of twelve she was fortunate enough to be adopted by a hunter on the mountain, but unfortunately the hunter was bitten to death by a wolf, and the slave and maid went down the mountain...... One day the slave was almost killed in the street, but fortunately I was rescued by a guard, who took pity on me and told a girl surnamed Lu about me, so I was left behind. The maid recalled.

Lu Qingjin felt a circle of strange ripples in his heart, "Almost killed?" Is there no royal law in this world? She said angrily.

The maid was slightly stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect the queen mother to be angry because she was almost killed in the first place.

After all, she has always felt that a lowly person like herself can't get into the eyes of the queen.

"Why did they beat you?" Lu Qingjin asked again.

The maid's face suddenly turned red, "Slave maid...... I stole a few meat buns from other people......"

Lu Qingjin was slightly stunned, and his original anger was suddenly extinguished, in this case, it seemed that it was indeed the girl's fault.

"But it's still their fault to beat someone! Fortunately, you were rescued, otherwise for a few meatballs to hurt people's lives, wouldn't the law of the Dayu Dynasty be indecent. Lu Qingjin hugged his arms, still a little angry.

She had seen Binglan's injuries, and she herself was almost beaten at the beginning, so she now hated people who used violence to solve problems.

"By the way, what's your name?" Lu Qingjin suddenly remembered that he didn't know people's names.

"The slave is called Baishan."

"White Mountain? Why the name? Lu Qingjin asked curiously.

"This is the name given by the hunters, it is said that when I first met the slave maid, it was winter, and the mountains were white at that time, so I named it White Mountain."

"That's kind of meaningful." Lu Qingjin nodded, "You keep calling me Niangniang, then do you know who the emperor is?" ”

Bai Shan shook his head and said, "The slave maid has had the honor to meet the emperor a few times, and the matter of the slave maid cleaning the queen's courtyard and being sent to serve the queen's mother before was arranged by the emperor. ”

"Cleaning the courtyard?" Lu Qingjin was a little puzzled.

"The emperor once instructed the slaves and maids to clean the yard every day before the queen mother returned." Bai Shan replied truthfully.

Lu Qingjin suddenly remembered what Bai Shan had just said, "You just said that it was the guard who told a girl surnamed Lu about you, and you were left behind, right?" ”

Bai Shan nodded, "Yes, Miss Lu is a good person." ”

Good? Lu Qingjin smiled coldly in his heart, it seems that Lu Youruo sent charcoal in the snow to close the girl's heart, and also planted the maid next to her to make eyeliner.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingjin suddenly felt bad, but she didn't show it on her face.

She looked at Bai Shan with a smile, "Then do you know the relationship between me and the Lu girl in your mouth?" ”
