Chapter Twenty-Three: There is no water in the Lonely Garden
The palace maids and the little eunuchs did not dare to enter the garden, but they did not dare to go away.
When they saw that the princess was sleeping soundly, they did not dare to wake her, so they stood and waited for the princess to wake up.
Yulian woke up and just wanted to stand up, but she caught a glimpse of two figures in the distance, hiding behind the rockery, sneakily looking here.
Yulian stood up and walked slowly towards the gate of the garden, walking and walking, suddenly fell violently, lay on the ground, unable to move, and seemed to faint in pain.
The palace maids hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up, and she stroked her forehead and moaned loudly.
"Beauty, is this Princess Qinglian really blind? She couldn't see such a big stone in front of her, but she stepped on it with one foot. The palace maid of Chun Meiren said disdainfully.
And Chun Meiren carefully observed Princess Qinglian's slender body and said, "It's a pity, such a beautiful skeleton is useless." ”
But at the same time, the woman's intuition told her that this Princess Qinglian might not be as weak and helpless as she saw.
"I heard that the old lady has been living here well because the two wells in the garden suddenly dried up, so she moved away." Mei'er whispered.
"And where's the nearest well?" Chun Meiren's eyes rolled, and she had a new idea.
"It seems that there is a well next to the Agarwood Temple, and it is more than three miles away from here?"
"Mei'er, you immediately find someone to catch two big rats, kill them and throw them into that well." Chun Meiren said lightly.
She thought to herself, this Qinglian princess is very strange! How can you let the emperor personally arrange a residence for her, and let the emperor treat her differently, although this is not a liking, but it is not good to make the emperor hate it.
Because, the emperor has never been so angry because he hated a woman that he wanted to punish her personally.
Therefore, you must try her to see what kind of person she is who can make the emperor's behavior so abnormal.
Qinglian was supported by the palace maids and eunuchs and walked into the garden.
Immediately, her eyes lit up, and she almost widened her eyes, and quickly squinted again.
There is not a single leaf on the stone floor in the garden, it is spotless, the weeds in the flower base are also clean, and several flower pots have no flowers, but they are also wiped bright.
Yulian nodded with satisfaction, and went into the house again to take a look, but was frightened again.
The room was also spotless, because the space was empty, and the furnishings in the hall were too simple: a bed, a table, and a chair.
Yulian went to the east and west wings again, and looked at the wings in the back garden, all of which were like this, and there was no extra household goods.
She was dumbfounded, this place is really as Xuanyuan Xuanling said, it is spacious, and there are not too many obstacles, it should be no problem to turn ten heels in the house casually.
Yulian said in her heart: "Calm, calm, at least there is a bed, there are tables and chairs, everything that must be used."
What's more, it's so spacious in this room! Not to mention, this kind of spacious and bright comfort is Yulian's favorite.
Because in the modern south, housing prices are really sky-high: Yulian has worked for four years, and it is estimated that it is only enough to buy a toilet.
So, she looked at the open garden in front of her, the big room, this is simply a mansion in a mansion, the king of villas!
It's a bit empty, but at least it's an infinite wish!
"Okay, go get ready for water, I'm going to bathe, this stinky sweat." Yulian said to Pearl.
"Princess, the rainwater accumulated in the two large vats in the garden has been used up by us when we cleaned it." Pearl replied in a whisper.
"Wait, the water in the tank is running out, don't you know to go to the well to dig it?" Yulian is really a little angry, this ability to do things is too bad.
"Princess, there was originally a well in the side garden, but there was no water in it, and I heard that it dried up two years ago."
"What, the water in the well will dry up, it's a novelty! Then go to the well next to the dining room in the back garden! I'll just wait. Yulian squinted and sat down.
"How did the princess know that there was a well next to the dining room?" Pearl was amazed.
"I, I guess so, such a big garden, the dining room should be equipped, so it's easy to cook!"
Yulian almost blurted out, I have lived in Xuanyuan Palace, and there are at least two wells in each palace here, which is standard! I am afraid that if there is any problem with one of them, the other can also be an emergency.
"The princess doesn't know that these two wells have no water at the same time, because this garden is far away from the main hall, and it is very inconvenient to get water, so the old lady who lived before moved away."
Yulian wanted to scold Xuanyuan Xuanling again: big, spacious and bright, the subtext is that there is no water, waiting for her here?
No, why did Xuanyuan Xuanling target himself so much? Does Xuanyuan Xuanling hate himself? Or did he see the disguise, so he deliberately made this arrangement?
Thinking of this, Yulian was so irritable that she only felt uncomfortable all over her body, and after tossing for a day, she would only be more irritable if she didn't have water to wash and clean.
"And where's the nearest well?" Yulian won't compromise easily.
"There is a well next to the Agarwood Palace, more than three miles away from here, so I will tell them to pick some back, that is, the princess will have to wait a little longer."
"I can wait, let's go!" Yulian said weakly, and looked at the stream, it was already lying in the corner of the wall, asleep.
Yulian sat on the chair, squinting her eyes and imagining: "When there is water, take a comfortable hot bath, after soaking, the dining room should have prepared a delicious dinner, it is very pleasant to think about." ”
Yulian waited for a long, long time, and fell asleep.
However, after only half an hour of sleep, I woke up again: I was woken up by hunger, and because my body was dirty, I couldn't go into a deep sleep.
At this time, Pearl walked in, and Yulian stood up happily, ready to take a hot bath.
"Princess, they didn't pick up the water and came back." Pearl said dejectedly.
Yulian listened, slammed again, and sat back in her chair, she didn't want to talk anymore, she just kept sighing.
"Zhou Quan, they arrived at the well next to the Agarwood Temple, and were about to fetch water, but they found that there were two big rats soaked in the well, and they didn't dare to call back for you to use such water." Pearl explained carefully.
"Then a little earlier, a little more left and right, and there will be no wells to draw water?" Yulian was almost hungry.
"The first few are the Xishi Palace, where Chun Meiren lives, her palace, and no idle people are allowed to enter; On the right, it was the Purple Cloud Palace where the emperor lived, and they didn't dare to go in. ”
Yulian supported her forehead with her hand: What should I do, did I go to the queen for help on the first night because there was no water? I feel like I'm going to make a fuss again, if I alarm Xuanyuan Xuanling again, it will be troublesome, so let's bear with it!
Yulian saw that it was getting late, and the palace maids and eunuchs had also been running around all day, and they were all tired.
She thought about it calmly, and then caught a glimpse of the boxes piled up in the garden, and then she had an idea.
"You go to my luggage first, get some dry food, there should be two pots of water, let's use some first, then rest early, and think of other ways tomorrow!" Yulian instructed Pearl.
And he went and took the pearls, and distributed them among the people.
Yulian nibbled on the dry and hard dry food, drank cold water, and suddenly became a little depressed.
I pretended to be blind and stupid, thinking that the plan would succeed, but who expected that someone would make a gentle move, and I would almost die of thirst.
But, hey, don't do it, it's a big deal, let's talk about it tomorrow! The old lady is really sleepy and tired, so go to bed first......
