Chapter 2 has a different picture
We walked along the path for another half an hour, and the two little eunuchs stopped in front of a small courtyard that seemed to be very quiet.
When I looked up, I saw that the plaque in this small courtyard had the words "Maid Lock House" written on it.
Aunt Zhen said that this was originally the place where the palace maids lived, but now, there are very few palace maids living in it.
As I spoke, the two eunuchs had already pushed open the door of the maid's house, and I saw that it was an extremely clean square courtyard, with an empty courtyard in the middle and a house on the other three sides.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is also a large water tank.
"You live there." Aunt Zhen led us to the door on the right, she pushed the door open, and the result was a large bunk in the house, without any furnishings.
However, I entered the palace to find my senior sister and brother, and I don't care where I live.
So, I took Yue Yunxiang into the house and put down the baggage.
"Aunt Zhen, where are you washing here?" Yue Yunxiang asked curiously again.
Aunt Zhen's cold eyes condensed slightly, but this time she did not open her mouth to teach Yue Yunxiang a lesson, but said lightly: "Someone will prepare for you, today, just rest in the house." ”
After Aunt Zhen finished speaking, she was about to leave.
"Gollum." Yue Yunxiang's stomach let out a scream.
Aunt Zhen didn't look back, and left, and we were still dazed.
"Aunt Zheng!" Zhong Ruixue shouted and chased out.
Yue Yunxiang glanced at me and asked, "Sister Ruixue, she chased her out, should we go out too?" Ask Aunt Zheng, where are we going to eat? ”
"Ruexiang, we are the chosen lucky girls, they can't starve us to death, don't worry, the food should be delivered in a while." I comforted Yue Yunxiang.
Although we are not masters, we will not be disposed of by them casually, and if we have any mistakes here, they will not be able to explain it.
"Sister Yan, don't you all say that the palace is good? Why doesn't it seem to be as good as my own home? Yue Yunxiang sat beside me and looked into the room for a long time, very disappointed.
"The place we live in should only be an inconspicuous corner of the palace, not where the masters live, but it is quite spacious." I stood up as I spoke, opening the window next to me to let in some air.
Yue Yunxiang followed me like a little tail, she was young, and when she spoke, she didn't cover it up, and asked me directly if she was coming for the prince.
As soon as I heard that she was so old, I still closed the window, for fear that others would listen to her.
"Sister Yan, my father said, let me seize this opportunity, Prince Bo loves it, but, you say, how can I make the prince love it?" Yue Yunxiang tilted her head and looked at me.
I hurriedly stretched out my hand and covered Yue Yunxiang's mouth to stop her from continuing.
"Ruexiang, we only came to the palace to be a blessed girl, we can't have these non-trivial thoughts, do what they say, don't ask what we shouldn't say, don't say it, otherwise our lives will be lost." I stared at Yue Yunxiang's eyes very seriously, and told her word by word.
She nodded at me, even though there was confusion in her eyes.
At this time, there were also footsteps outside our door, and I thought it should be Zhong Ruixue back.
When I walked to the door, I saw that it was really her, but she was carrying her own baggage and lived in the room next to us.
Yue Yunxiang hurriedly shouted at her: "Sister Ruixue, let's all live here." ”
Zhong Ruixue just glanced at us, and pushed the door into the next room.
Yue Yunxiang walked out of the house curiously and went to Zhong Ruixue to have a look, I didn't want to go over, but I stayed in the house and had nothing to do, so I went with her.
This room, similar to ours, is still a bunk, but the bedding here is not coarse cloth, and there is a bronze mirror and a large wooden table with kettles and cups on the table.
"Why, is this room different from the next door? Can we live like this? Yue Yunxiang looked at Zhong Ruixue and asked suspiciously.
The corners of Zhong Ruixue's mouth raised slightly, and she said lightly: "Aunt Zhen said that I can go to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow." ”
As she spoke, her eyes lit up and the expression on her face was extremely proud.
It's as if she's saying that tomorrow she's going to be the crown princess, and she's forgotten the real reason why we people are here.
"Really? What about us? Yue Yunxiang was a little anxious, and immediately asked again.
"I heard that there are four girls in the opposite room, and they haven't been to Anqian Palace yet, so I'm afraid you will be behind them." After Zhong Ruixue finished speaking, she took out a wooden comb from her baggage, began to comb her hair in the mirror, tidied up her appearance, and inserted a golden hairpin with pearls on her head.
She looked in the mirror and asked us if we looked good, saying that this golden hairpin was her mother's heirloom, treasure.
Yue Yunxiang didn't have the heart to look at her hairpin, with a little suspicion on her face.
"Why? We came together? "Yue Yunxiang hasn't figured out the reason yet, so I pulled her and said goodbye to this Zhong Ruixue and went back to my room to rest.
This Zhong Ruixue obviously stuffed a lot of silver coins, so it was her turn first.
However, it was okay to buy me a little more time.
I also thought about who to find out about my sister's whereabouts.
"Click!"
Just thinking about it, there was another sound of footsteps, I thought it was Zhong Ruixue, but when I looked up, I saw a woman wearing a blue dress, a plain face, and a simple second hair.
She was carrying a wooden food box in her hand, which seemed to be there to bring us food.
I saw her put the food box towards the edge of our shop, and said, "I'll collect it in a while." ”
With that, she left.
Yue Yunxiang was really hungry, and immediately opened the food box, only to find that there were only two steamed buns, heads, and a plate of pickles in this food box.
"This?" Yue Yunxiang looked disappointed.
"Eat, aren't you hungry?" I picked up the steamed bun and handed it to Yue Yunxiang.
This steamed bun has a cold head and is very hard.
Yue Yunxiang is also a girl in Shengjing, their family is not a rich family in Shengjing, but they naturally don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but now they can only eat this if they are cold, and they suddenly have no appetite.
"It's so hard, how can you eat it?" Yue Yunxiang looked aggrieved: "Daddy also said that the palace is full of brocade clothes and jade food, but this? ”
"Okay, don't say it again, if you don't eat it, I can eat it." I took a bite of the steamed bun, the head, it was really porcelain, I couldn't bite it, I was afraid that I had to soak it in water before I could eat it.
"Hey, I knew earlier, I just told Aunt Na Zhen that I would go to serve the prince first, so that even if His Royal Highness the prince doesn't look down on me, I can leave the palace immediately, and I don't have to suffer this anymore." Yue Yunxiang pouted her pout, tender little mouth, and muttered.
I sighed, didn't speak, took out the two steamed buns in the food box, and put them aside, and then covered the food box, waiting for the palace maid to collect it.
