Chapter 248: Sneer
[Chapter 6, Volume 6]
Section 255 Chapter 248 sneering
That night, a gentle breeze blew away a hint of summer heat. On the window paper of a second-class palace maid's double room in the Feng Dynasty Palace, a faint candlelight came in, and faintly, a woman-like person could be seen carefully embroidering something in front of the window.
Le'er looked at the closed door and took a deep breath: It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided! The old man said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and maybe everything today is an opportunity for her to serve the queen in the future. Having made up her mind, Le Er grabbed a small package on her shoulder, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, does Sister Moxiang live here?" Le'er tried to make her voice sound more intimate. If she can't even coax a second-class palace maid to be nice to her, then she can't expect to leave Lanxiao Palace in the future and work in Fengchao Palace.
The figure in front of the window paused, glanced up at the door, and continued to bow his head and swing his hand, ignoring the knock.
Seeing that there was no response, Le'er bit her lip lightly, and continued to shout patiently: "Is anyone there?" I am the queen mother personally mentioned the joy of serving by the imperial concubine's mother, and it was Mama Fang who asked me to come. Le'er tried to hang up the name of the queen's mother, so that she could get closer to the ink fragrance of the Feng Dynasty Palace.
Only this time, the figure in front of the window didn't even look up, and continued the work at hand.
There are people in the house, and Le'er naturally knows it in her heart. Why the people in the house didn't make a sound, she naturally knew it in her heart.
When the queen mother was in Prince Cheng's mansion in the past, she had always been the master of the same word, even if she was just a small slave in the palace at that time, she had already heard of it. But since the emperor ascended the throne, in order to enrich the harem, there have been countless show girls entering the palace. Not only that, after the imperial concubine Niangniang, who was the daughter of the university scholar's mansion, entered the palace, the emperor has been favoring constantly, even if she has not been pregnant, she has already mentioned her position to the first person under the queen, which has never happened in previous dynasties. In addition, above the court, the Xie University Scholar Mansion and the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, which have always been in a relationship with political enemies, have completely deteriorated the relationship between the two masters of the queen and the imperial concubine.
A day on guard against someone thinking about her queen's position, a day after day unwilling someone to step on her head, how can these two most powerful women in the harem coexist peacefully? How could they, the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving the two masters separately, have a good face when they meet?
Ke Le also understands in her heart that she lives under someone else's roof now, and she will bow her head no matter what, even if she complains in her heart, she has to have the most kind smile on her face: "Sister Moxiang, are you here?" If so, can you open the door for my sister? ”
After a few seconds, there was still no movement in the room. Le'er lowered her head and thought for a while, but didn't shout anything higher, but said in a voice that the people in the room could hear: "It seems that I came at the wrong time, but Mama Fang told me that Sister Moxiang doesn't have to be on duty today and must be in the house." But it's dark this day, and Sister Moxiang hasn't come back, so what's wrong? I'd better go and talk to Mama Fang! Le'er looked like she was talking to herself, but her steps didn't move half a minute.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, the sound of Si Xisuo sounded in the room, and the footsteps that were getting closer and closer became clearer and clearer.
The one who opened the door was a woman who was older than Le'er, and she was still wearing the clothes of a second-class palace maid in the palace, and she looked pretty good, but her lips were inevitably thinner, and she looked mean.
"Who are you! What are you shouting outside someone else's house in the middle of the night, you don't sleep, don't let others sleep? Mo Xiang opened the door, and immediately shouted at Le'er at the door, looking extremely bored.
By the queen's side, there have always been four second-class palace maids, and the residence is all prescribed to be two people in one room. Not long ago, a second-class palace maid who was in the same room with Mo Xiang did something wrong, and was transferred to another place after being ordered by the queen to be scolded with a cane, and Mo Xiang's room naturally vacated a place.
Living in a room alone naturally feels very spacious and comfortable. But before she could enjoy it, an inexplicable little palace maid came, and Mo Xiang was naturally uncomfortable. Besides, this afternoon, Mama Fang also deliberately looked for her, saying that she should keep an eye on this little palace maid from Lanxiao Palace. That being the case, why did she give this woman named Le'er any more good looks?
"I'm really embarrassed, I didn't think that Sister Moxiang would rest so early, and I'm really sorry to disturb my sister." Le'er blessed Mo Xiang and said.
Although the other party was displeased, Cola still smiled and was very friendly. Obviously he was still wearing regular clothes, but he said that he had slept, who were he fooling? Even if Ke Er understood it in her heart, she wouldn't point it out, so she naturally had to follow Mo Xiang's words.
When the night is dark, the maids who are not on duty are strictly forbidden to go out and about, and must stay in their quarters until dawn. So when Le'er said that she was going to tell Mama Fang that Mo Xiang was not in the house, Mo Xiang couldn't hold her breath so much and hurriedly ran to open the door.
"I know that it's wrong to disturb other people's rest, but I still have to go my own way like this, the palace maids in Lanxiao Palace, don't they have any rules like you? The skin is really thick! Mo Xiang snorted coldly and turned around and walked towards his bed as he spoke.
"It's Le'er's fault, sister don't be angry, if it's angry, Le'er's fault, then it's even worse." When Mo Xiang turned around, the smile on Le'er's face was as cold as ice. It's just a moment, Le'er's expression has become the same as just now, and she looks cautious, followed Mo Xiang and walked into the room.
"Humph!" Mo Xiang snorted coldly, sat on his bed, pointed to a bed on his right, and said, "You will sleep there in the future!" I don't like to have movement when I'm sleeping, so don't you have to turn over and make some noise after a while, it's annoying! ”
"Yes, I understand, I will definitely not disturb Sister Moxiang's sleep in the future." Le'er smiled and looked at Mo Xiang's hand.
In the place where I came into view, there was indeed a bed-like thing placed there, but the so-called bed was just a wooden plank, plus two benches put together, and the real bed under Mo Xiang was fundamentally the difference between heaven and earth.
This is indeed not a bed, the bed that was originally exactly the same as Mo Xiang's body had already been ordered by Mama Fang to move out of here. There is no other reason, it is just because Jiang Ruyue is unwilling to let the little palace maid of Lanxiao Palace live in her Feng Dynasty Palace so simply.
"This ...... Is it my bed? Le'er pointed to the so-called bed in disbelief, looked at Mo Xiang and asked.
"What, not satisfied? If you are not satisfied with going back to your Lanxiao Palace, do you think who will keep you? Mo Xiang glanced at Le Er contemptuously and said mockingly. Mama Fang has done that, what is she afraid of?
The smile on Le'er's face stiffened for a moment, gritted her teeth, forced herself to squeeze out a smile, and said, "Although the bed is ...... It's a little old, but it's rare that you don't have to live with other palace maids, which is also a good thing! Le'er stepped forward, reached out and pressed the plank to see if it was safe, and then put the burden on it with peace of mind, and sat down.
"Also, the little palace maid who was waiting in a small kitchen suddenly lived in the room of a second-class palace maid, and it was time to steal the fun. Anyway, you really want to thank the queen for her kindness and allowing you to live here! Mo Xiang stopped looking at Le'er, picked up the purse in his hand and embroidered it again.
"Yes! If it weren't for the queen's mother, I wouldn't have been brought up, living in a house where only second-class palace maids can live, and taking the moon silver that only second-class palace maids can get. If you have the opportunity to meet the queen in the future, you should be grateful and thankful. As she spoke, Le'er took out a box of small snacks from her baggage, and walked towards Mo Xiang with it: "Sister is a faceless palace maid in this Feng Dynasty Palace, so naturally she has seen everything." I used to be just a little palace maid, and I didn't have anything left of the monthly silver, and even if I had anything, I was afraid that my sister wouldn't be able to look down on it. This box is a snack just made in the small kitchen today, and I don't know if my sister likes sweet or salty, so I made some, my sister will try it. ”
Mo Xiang raised her eyes and glanced at it, not to mention the taste, looking at those looks, they were indeed quite beautiful, like flowers: "Since you have this heart, let it go!" The queen mother is kind, and often gives us some pastries to the palace maids and eunuchs, and it is not unusual for you to be placed in the Feng Dynasty Palace. Mo Xiang said with a nonchalant look.
The queen is indeed sometimes in high spirits, and will appreciate some pastries, but Mo Xiang is just a second-class palace maid, even if she can eat, she is just eating some leftovers from the queen's personal palace maid. Mo Xiang said this, but he just wanted to take Na Qiao, so that he raised the queen mother and Feng Chao Palace in front of Le'er.
"There is nothing in the Feng Dynasty Palace, and it is natural that my sister can't look down on it." Le'er chuckled, but still didn't take the pastry back, but put it on the Moxiang bed, and continued: "The Feng Dynasty Palace is really much better than the Lanxiao Palace, if there is a chance, I really want to come over to serve the queen!" ”
This is the second time Le'er has said such a thing, which made Mo Xiang stunned. I thought that a palace maid from Lanxiao Palace would live with her, not to mention a big fight, and cold words were always indispensable. But he never thought that a person who wanted to come to Fengchao Palace to do things was really unexpected by Mo Xiang.
