Chapter 761: Staying in the Palace of Liberation
Qingxue wiped her eyes and hurriedly responded, she knew that it would be very hard to leave the East Side Palace, but she didn't know that it would be so embarrassing.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that a few people cleaned the main hall and the east side hall of the Liberation Palace.
Mama Tang went to the imperial dining room to get dinner, and Qingxue helped Murong Hui sort out the quilt.
Fortunately, it's a hot time, and it's not too difficult.
Murong Hui saw that the two of them were busy, so he took two pieces of cotton cloth, walked to the fruit grove next to him, spread the cotton cloth under the osmanthus tree, collected the osmanthus with cotton cloth, and made it into osmanthus sauce at that time, so that he could make do with it.
At least now she was ready to endure hardships, and only after laying out the cotton cloth did she hear footsteps behind her.
The neighborhood was very remote, and even during the day, few people came, and she couldn't help but wonder.
"Your Royal Highness, the courtiers will send you something, and tomorrow your cousin-in-law will also send you something, you hold on for a few days, and when things come out, the queen will definitely give you justice."
Shen Jing glanced at the stains on Murong Hui's skirt, and couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, the princess who was still high yesterday is now doing everything herself, which is really unpredictable.
"Help me tell Sister Ning, don't come to see me if you have nothing to do, so as not to be implicated for no reason."
After all, Sang Ning is the princess of Lan Kingdom, if she has a close relationship with her at this juncture, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be framed by someone with ulterior motives.
said that it was the people of the Lan Kingdom who instigated Murong Hui to murder the emperor's heir, but they would definitely pull Sang Ning into the water.
"The courtiers will tell her cousin."
After Shen Jing heard that Murong Hui was grounded, her mind was messed up, and she didn't think about it so much at all, but now she suddenly thought about it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Sister Tang is inconvenient to come over, please let me bring you something, we will leave the palace in a few days, I am afraid that it will be ...... in the future Your Highness, take care. ”
In the past, she always heard her mother say that the palace is a place of right and wrong, and whoever has a relationship with the people in the palace will be entangled in many conspiracies, and it will be difficult to get out again.
She didn't believe it before, but after this experience, she understood it completely.
After bringing the things sent back to the Jieyi Palace, Shen Jing hurriedly left with the palace maid.
Murong Hui asked Qingxue to see her off, and Qingxue only went out for a long time before she came back with two packets of osmanthus petals.
"Your Highness, Miss Shen is crying, I don't know why? Obviously we are more sad now, why is she crying? ”
Qingxue has a simple temperament, and since she can't figure it out, she simply asks about her Royal Highness.
"There may not be a reason, it's just sentimentality."
After barely eating a few bites of a cold dinner, Murong Hui said with a smile.
"Your Highness, this vegetable oil is all congealed, and you don't have any appetite when you look at it, so it's better for the slave to pour it."
Qing Xue frowned when she looked at the dinner, although the people in the imperial dining room would also deduct Murong Hui in the past.
The fabric or clothes they bring back will always have some defects, and they will have to change it again before they can wear it.
The food is often a little cold, or the amount is a little less, and I always know that it will definitely not be in the taste.
But for the sake of the emperor and queen, they are quite polite to Murong Hui's favor.
Now she is really not even willing to pretend, not to mention Murong Hui for such a meal, she has no appetite for even looking at it.
"Go and fetch a bucket of water from the well, put the rest of the food in the well, and make do with it tomorrow.
It's too late today, get up early tomorrow and go to the lake forest to collect firewood. ”
Murong Hui sighed, although she was a little disappointed in her heart, she knew that her situation in the future would only be worse than now.
"Tomorrow, the old slave and Qingxue can go to collect firewood, and you can copy the scriptures in the palace."
Mama Tang admires Murong Hui's temperament very much, she didn't make any noise in the face of such a predicament, she still accepted it calmly, and tried her best to make her life better, which is definitely rare among all nobles.
In other words, if you are so wronged and you have to be grounded indefinitely, you will definitely make a lot of noise, and you will have to find a short-term or something.
However, Murong Hui accepted it indifferently, and seemed to know that such a thing would happen early in the morning, which made Mama Tang a little surprised.
Although Qingxue was a little reluctant in her heart, she obediently put away the food and put it in ice water to prevent the food from spoiling.
The three of them were a little tired after a busy day's work, and after locking the palace door, they lay down to rest.
The next morning, Murong Hui still wanted to get up with them, but she had never done so much work, and after sleeping and getting up, she was absolutely sore, and she struggled several times and couldn't get up.
"The slave maid and Mama Tang are both people who are used to doing rough work, and they still feel a little tired yesterday, not to mention Your Highness. Your Highness is still lying down for a while, let's go out to collect firewood first. ”
Qingxue helped Murong Hui rub her shoulders and said softly.
"The old slave will lock the door of the Jieyi Palace, and His Royal Highness will stay in the palace."
Mama Tang was worried that after the two left, someone would come to trouble Murong Hui.
After the two left, Murong Hui lay down for another half an hour before gritting her teeth and getting up, eating some half-cold buns and copying Buddhist scriptures.
After she copied a piece of Buddhist scriptures, she looked at the hour and found that an hour had passed, but Mama Tang and Qingxue still hadn't come back, she was a little worried about the two, so she walked to the door to see.
Fortunately, the crack in the door of this palace gate was very large, and she could see the scene outside through the gap, and from a distance, she saw Mama Tang and Qingxue walking over with a piece of firewood.
"Your Highness, do you think it's okay now, do you need a slave to help you massage it."
After the door opened, Qingxue hurriedly asked Murong Hui.
"It's much better, I've got the meal hot, let's make do with some first."
Murong Hui didn't have much appetite, so she only gave them a hot meal, and didn't eat it herself.
"Your Highness is really tormenting the slaves, you must not do this work again in the future."
Qing Xue was startled and hurriedly said to Murong Hui.
Murong Hui didn't think that now that she had fallen into such an end, she still had to take care of all these humilities.
"After eating later, you can send the Buddhist scriptures I copied to my aunt, and we can slowly clean up the rest of the things."
Seeing the two eating, Murong Hui half lay on the edge of the bed and said softly.
Mama Tang answered, hurriedly finished eating, and went to the imperial dining room to bring back lunch, and then returned to Fengyi Palace with the Buddhist scriptures.
"Your Highness, are you still in cold water?"
Qingxue looked at the four dishes and one soup she brought back with a melancholy face, and said helplessly.
The people in the imperial dining room didn't treat His Royal Highness badly in terms of quantity, but it was all cold, and there was no oil star at all, even she had no appetite.
"I will do it in the future, and I don't need to ask more."
Murong Hui took the basin rag and walked towards the west side hall.
After Qingxue finished the meal, she hurried to help clean the west side hall, and Mama Tang came back after half an hour, with half a bag of white noodles and a jar of oil in her hand.
"This is the old slave from the old sister, the old slave saw yesterday that the stove in the palace can still be used, in the future the old slave will make you some cakes to eat, it is better than eating these cold meals."
These things were naturally brought back by Lin Yingxue, not by some old sister.
It's just that Lin Yingxue deliberately confessed and didn't let Mama Tang tell the story, so she had to lie.
"Let's eat what I haven't eaten in the future, and now the food in the imperial dining room can still be eaten."
Murong Hui nodded, and asked Mama Tang to take the east and west rooms to the east side hall, and she urged the two of them to clean the palace with her.
The area of the Jieyi Palace is very large, and it took the three of them half a month to clean the palace and pack up all the things that should be packed.
"The old slave heard from the queen that she would only be grounded for a month, and you wouldn't have to stay in the palace all day after half a month."
After these days of getting along, Mama Tang's impression of Murong Hui has eased a lot, so she can't help but comfort.
"It would be nice if I could be confined for a while, but I think it would be nice not to have to go to school."
Murong Hui said half-jokingly, and after speaking, he lowered his head and took a bite of the reheated chicken thigh.
"Your Highness, it turns out that you don't like to read, and the slave maid thinks that Your Highness likes to read very much."
Qingxue looked surprised, she heard that His Royal Highness was one of the nobles in the study, and the more knowledgeable one was, and the handwriting was exceptionally good.
"Your Highness is afraid that because of this, you will be embarrassed by many noble ladies in the study, don't worry, you are a princess after all, they dare not be too presumptuous."
Mama Tang saw Murong Hui's thoughts and hurriedly reminded.
Murong Hui nodded, and knew that this was not what Mama Tang meant, but what Lin Yingxue meant.
"Your Highness, the slaves and maids are also worried about this, and there are several of those county lords who don't like Your Highness."
Qingxue often listened to Mama Huang and them, and talked about Murong Hui's exclusion in the study.
In the past, she could still use Lin Yingxue's favor for her to suppress these noble girls with eyes on their heads.
But now the situation is different, now without the protection of Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun, Murong Hui's life is not as good as the decent grandmother in the palace, and in front of those noble girls, it is naturally more difficult to raise her head.
Several people couldn't help but feel a little heavy, and they were in a stalemate for a long time, but the sound of the door diverted everyone's attention.
"Your Highness, you have really suffered, this is the rice that the old slave brought back from the imperial dining room, you cook and eat some by yourself, so don't starve yourself."
A few people looked towards the door and saw Mama Zhang quietly walking in with half a bag of white rice.
After only two days of not seeing each other, she felt that Murong Hui had lost a lot of weight, and looking at it made her feel distressed.
"Where did this rice come from? If you take it from the Imperial Dining Room, you won't be able to do it in the future. ”
Murong Hui was a little moved in her heart, and hurriedly walked over to remind.
Mama Tang took it and turned it upside down, it was quite heavy, and it was definitely not easy to get.
"Your Highness, rest assured, there is no clean hands and feet in this imperial dining room, the old slaves know their handles, and they dare not report the old slaves."
Mama Zhang was squeezed out of the imperial dining room in the past, so she was very familiar with the people in the imperial dining room, and they didn't like each other.
But because she was stuffed into the imperial dining room by the queen's mother, everyone didn't dare to make it too difficult for her, and now they are not far away.
"It's better to be careful, you can settle down now, and you will be able to leave the palace in a few years when you catch up with Enfang."
Murong Hui pulled Mama Zhang to sit at the table and reminded in a low voice.
