Chapter 152
Xiao Yezi kowtowed deeply and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, although the little woman is a subordinate of the prince, her status is low, and she doesn't dare to think anything wrong. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died at the beginning of his life, and he was willing to guard the palace in the palace where the prince lived, and did his best for His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Xiao Yezi's words made Wan Yanli, who had already lost his son, more and more useful, and couldn't help but say: "Good, good, it's rare that you are loyal." Let's just be the lantern maid of Yuqing Palace. ”
Xiao Yezi kowtowed to thank the emperor, and then retreated. got Emperor Yanjin's golden words, so naturally she was taught to take her into the harem. Although she is a palace maid, after all, she is the hero who escorted the prince back to the country after a long journey, coupled with the emperor's blue eyes, she didn't dare to embarrass her, and politely took her all the way to the prince's bedroom Yuqing Palace, and patiently taught her some palace rules. Wanyan is dead, this Yuqing Palace is actually the same as the prince during his lifetime, in addition to the regulations, it is basically a cold palace, and its popularity is naturally not as prosperous as the prince's life. She, the palace maid who holds the lamp, doesn't need to serve the master, and she comes because of merit, so to put it bluntly, it's just an ornament. But with Xiao Yezi's sweet words, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, the mouth kept being long and short, and secretly stuffed a lot of silver money into Mama, and naturally gave Xiao Yezi more leniency treatment, and even the housing was unique.
So Xiao Yezi began his "life" in Yuqing Palace. During the day, like ordinary palace maids, she cleaned around with a broom and rag, and at night, while the palace maids were asleep, she secretly wandered inside and outside Yuqing Palace, looking for and finding out Yang Yizhao's whereabouts.
However, after Yan died, Yang Yizhao also sank into the sea. After living in the palace for a few days, Xiao Yezi found nothing.
Did you miscalculate? Yang Yizhao is not in this palace? But Lu Zheng clearly said that Yan Xuan imprisoned him in the palace...... Although Lu Zheng is young, he is talented, and he is also one of the subordinates who has been reused by the end of the face, and his information should not be fake. Since Wan Yan has saved Yang Yizhao, it is naturally because Yang Yizhao is profitable. From the time of Yanjin's destruction to the defeat, Yang Yizhao was still imprisoned in the palace. It stands to reason that as long as there are no major conflicts and accidents, Yang Yizhao should become a dead move that no one pays attention to, and he will continue to stay somewhere in the palace. Well, she needs to be patient and look for more clues.
Her face did not change, and she continued to lurk in this Yuqing Palace, and paid more attention to the words and deeds of the people around her.
Yuqing Palace does not have a main seat, and the small kitchen of this palace has become a private place for the whole palace, and the palace maids take turns to cook for everyone in the small kitchen. On this day, it was Xiao Yezi's turn to be on duty. Xiao Yezi and the other two little palace maids arrived at the small kitchen of Yuqing Palace, calculated the amount of dishes according to the head of Yuqing Palace, and began to cook. But while cooking, the two little palace maids said that Xiao Yezi had miscalculated the account, and the food must not be enough.
Xiao Yezi frowned suspiciously: "The whole Yuqing Palace, together with Mama, father-in-law and us, obviously there are only thirteen people, and I have prepared the amount of dishes for thirteen people as required, how can it not be enough?" Could it be that which father-in-law wants to add extra dishes? ”
The little palace maid is taken care of by Xiao Yezi a lot on weekdays, and she is busy telling Xiao Yezi: "We don't know the reason, but our cooking has always been done by fifteen people." ”
"Who is that extra meal for? Could it be that Mama hid her secrets and brought it herself? Xiao Yezi asked.
The little palace maid Cui'er hurriedly shouted, "Don't you dare to say that...... After the death of the prince of Yuqing Palace, the father-in-law who accompanied him was sent to the mausoleum, and there was only one old man left in this palace. Mama Wang is old and has a background and family background, even if she is a little cheap, we are not good at squeaking, so we can turn a blind eye. You're new here, so don't touch it. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
Quietly thanked the little palace maid Cui'er for reminding her, but Xiao Yezi became more and more attentive - is it the grandmother hiding her secrets? Or is there someone else in this Yuqing Palace? It's better to probe Mama Wang's tone. She found the little eunuch who often went out of the palace, and gave dozens of taels of silver blood, and brought a golden hairpin with a pure texture from outside the palace for her grandmother. Mama Wang is a greedy person, and she likes Xiao Yezi's sweet and sweet personality, which was coerced by Xiao Yezi's words and even pushed and stuffed to accept the golden hairpin.
Taking advantage of the fact that Mama Wang was still happy with the golden hairpin, Xiao Yezi's eyes were dark, and she talked about the kitchen meal the day before yesterday: "When my daughter was working in the kitchen the day before yesterday, I heard Cui'er complaining that there was a lot of work, and thirteen people dined, and she had to prepare a meal for fifteen people. When my daughter first arrived, she didn't understand the rules and didn't dare to speak. Cui'er saw that her daughter was silent, and she was even more annoyed, and she fell and beat her, and actually said some bad things about her godmother, saying that her godmother was favoritist and let them work in vain. The daughter tried to persuade her, but she was pushed back, and she was really angry. ”
When Mama Wang heard this, she raised her eyebrows: "This little hoof, you know the instigation behind it." Daughter, don't listen to their rumors. They are not very old, have a lot of problems, and are used to stealing and playing tricks. ”
Xiao Yezi pretended to be respectful: "I also said that they are not sensible, and I don't stand with them." The daughter knows that the godmother is an old man in the palace, and she is quite qualified and has a unique vision, how can she take this meal and two meals of small favors in her eyes? ”
Mama Wang smiled and touched Xiao Yezi's face: "You are still sensible." ”
"It's just...... There are regulations for each of the money and materials in the palace, so why not save some money and exchange these favors for other resources, wouldn't it be more practical? Xiao Yezi wondered.
Mama Wang sighed: "Daughter, don't you want to live with a solid amount of money?" It's just that I was forced to do it because of an order from above. ”
"Orders from above?" Xiao Yezi was stunned, "Could it be that the top is still waiting for our small kitchen to deliver food?" ”
"It's not the top, it's the bottom." Mama Wang pointed to the ground.
"Down down?" Xiao Ye was even more puzzled.
Mama Wang refused to say any more, only shook her head and said, "Hey...... This officialdom is something that only our little slaves can get involved in. Don't ask, don't ask. ”
Xiao Yezi saw that Mama Wang refused to reveal it again, and she didn't want to ask again. But she thought to herself, Mama Wang didn't refute the mention of delivering food just now, so there must be other people hidden under this Yuqing Palace. Mama Wang took the extra food she cooked, and she will definitely send it to others, as long as she keeps an eye on Mama Wang, she will definitely gain something.
