Chapter 269: Aunt Jinyue

The scene in front of him made Hua Mian feel an inexplicable sadness from the bottom of his heart, looking at the scale of this palace, it must have been a magnificent Qionglou Yuyu back then, and now everything in the past has become smoke, leaving only such an empty shell-like building.

Along the water's edge bypassing the mountains and rocks in the front yard, rows of buildings appeared in front of Hua Mian, and the location was originally just a relatively open place such as the flower courtyard, but now there are more houses that are incompatible with the original buildings of this Jinyue Palace in the place where they should be blooming.

I don't know if it's the wrong time, but no one in this courtyard saw it when the flower sleeped, and it was obviously a good time for the sun.

Hua Mian walked to the row of houses closest to the intersection when she came, and was a little hesitant to push open the door in front of her, and just as Hua Mian's hand was about to touch the door panel, the door "brushed" open from the room, revealing a face that was also surprised.

Hua Mian was frightened and withdrew his hand and took a step back, the other party was more experienced, took the lead in calming down from the panic, looked up and down, and saw that the person who came was dressed as a low-level maid and did not apply powder, and his hair was simply tied back with a strip of coarse cloth, and his whole body was plainly dressed but hung with the palace card of the palace.

Seeing the expressions on these faces, he softened and asked, "This girl came to Jinggong to inquire about the gift?" ”

"Give it away? No, I'm just walking through here."

After listening to Hua Mian's words, the other party's expression that had just eased down showed a little doubt, Jinyue Palace is not a place that can be walked casually.

"I'm not a strange person", seeing the other party's distrustful expression, Hua Mian had to take out Jia Lao's palace card again, "I am the chef of Hejing Palace, I saw that there was a maid in the palace who was sick, and I wanted to find a way to alleviate it, and I heard that people could get the news of this disease here, so I came here to learn about the situation."

"Since he is a person recognized by Jia Lao, then he must indeed have extraordinary ability, please come in first"

The woman's relaxed attitude again made Hua Mian more sure that the palace card given by Jia Lao in this harem was indeed of a higher status, and seeing that the other party made a move to invite in, Hua Mian was not polite, and went straight into the room.

From the outside, it looks like a small and even dilapidated room, but after entering the house, I found that the interior of the house was unexpectedly comfortable, perhaps because there was no hostess in this palace, although it was in the harem of the house, it was not like Hua Mian in other palaces, the furniture inside was unexpectedly simple, but it seemed to be used in the room of the maid's courtyard in the Sikong Mansion.

The curtains hanging by the window and the tent hanging on the bed are simple and neat, and the woman beckons Hua Mian to sit at the table, and pours a glass of water from the kettle on the table and hands it to Hua Mian.

Hua Mian and the woman sat at the table, took the water glass, and Hua Mian had a lot of things to ask in her heart at the moment, so many that she didn't know where to start.

On the contrary, the woman introduced herself generously, "My surname is Chen, but because I have been living in Jinyue Palace, now everyone in the palace calls me Aunt Jinyue"

It was only then that Hua Mian began to face up to this maid who called herself Aunt Jinyue, and the people who could usually be called aunts by others were all veteran female officials who had been in the palace for a long time, and the one sitting next to her did not look young anymore, and there was no trace of makeup on her face like Hua Mian, and her hair was tied up on the top of her head with a cloth towel.
