Chapter 4 Stealing and Beating

I looked at Fufeng lying on the kang and felt more and more distressed, this woman who has been with me for ten years has no regrets about the guardian of me, and I can't protect her now

"Miss, Miss, I'm so hungry." Fufeng beside him said in a voice like a mosquito.

"What do you say? Hungry? Then what do you want to eat, I'll figure it out for you. I asked as I secretly wiped away my tears.

Fufeng opened his chapped lips and said slowly: "I dreamed just now, I dreamed of Madame, I really want to eat Madame's Ruyi cake." ”

I had tears falling suddenly, I hurriedly wiped away the tears, half comforted and half thoughtful, and said, "I'll find a way for you, I'll go find you something to eat." ”

Since entering the palace, it is a luxury idea to be able to eat a full meal, just yesterday Fufeng also secretly picked up the rice in her bowl into my bowl silently, just when I was surprised how to just go out to eat more, Fufeng also innocently said I don't know, I was wrong.

Fleur walked in from outside the door, took out a piece of paper from her clothes, opened the paper and inside was a pancake, Fleur said happily: "This is what I stole from Grandpa Liu's room, let's eat it quickly for Fufeng." ”

I glanced at Fluff gratefully, Fleur was the only palace maid who didn't bully us, and she took good care of us all the time.

I took the cake excitedly, but was snatched by the other hand, and I looked up to see Zizhu, who was in the same room, and she looked at me with a malicious face.

"What are you doing here?" I looked at Zizhu and said.

"Where did this thing come from, stolen it, forget it, I'll be a good person and not report you, but the thing belongs to me." Zizhu weighed the cake in his hand and said proudly.

Zizhu relied on the fact that he had served the emperor's favorite concubine before, and felt that he had some face compared to other slaves, and never took us seriously.

"Zizhu, you, don't go too far." I held back the fire in my heart and said.

Zizhu ignored me, sneered, and left.|Fu Rui said helplessly: "Forget it, as the saying goes, it's better to offend a gentleman than a villain." ”

I thought about it for a moment, and thought to myself that maybe I could steal it again. I asked Fleur, "Do you know where the palace's dining room is?" ”

Fleur nodded and said, "I know, what do you want to do?" ”

I made up my mind, and with determination in my eyes, I said, "In that case, you can take me there." ”

Along the way, Fleur kept persuading me, "Tangru, let's go back, what is the place in the imperial dining room, and what if I am caught." ”

Seeing that I did not waver in the slightest, Fleur had no choice but to give up. In front is the imperial dining room, a plaque hangs on the palace door, and the book reads: the imperial dining room, each word is like a bucket.

I crouched behind the wall and waited for a good time, although it was not the time to eat, but there were people constantly shuttling back and forth in the imperial dining room.

I took a deep breath to give myself courage, and Fleur grabbed the corner of my coat nervously behind me to stop me.

Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and when there were finally no palace maids and eunuchs shuttling, I tiptoed in, letting Fleur watch the wind at the door, and I didn't care to be surprised by the huge size of the world's first kitchen, and turned over the steaming pots one by one.

There was a mouth-watering smell wafting from the Imperial Dining Room, and there were some uncut greens and various meats on the board, which I hadn't smelled in a long time.

I secretly wrapped the steaming unnamed dim sum in the pot in a hurry with paper, and then put it in my clothes and put it close to my body, and then took two steamed buns, called Fleur in and stuffed it into Fleur's body in a chaotic manner, and the nervous Fleur broke out in a cold sweat.

I was about to leave when I suddenly heard a few shrill voices outside the window: "Little Liuzi, do you still remember what the master told me yesterday?" ”

Then came a submissive voice: "Master's words, disciples."

Fleur held my hand nervously and panickedly, "What is the matter?" What to do?"

After only a few seconds of panic, I immediately calmed down and said, "Don't panic, let's go." ”

I pretended to walk out of the imperial dining room leisurely, and Fleur followed me nervously without even raising her head, not daring to gasp. and a few fathers-in-law walked over head-on, passing between them, a few steps away, but it felt like a long boundlessness.

I held my breath nervously, and suddenly felt relieved that they were already behind me, "Slow," came my father-in-law's voice behind me.

I closed my eyes and thought to myself, this is over, I slowly turned my head and said respectfully: "I don't know what my father-in-law commands?" ”

A hint of shrewdness flashed in the father-in-law's eyes, and he said, "What are you doing in this imperial dining room?" Which palace? Generally, the palace maids who come here every day know our family, and they all know our family, don't you two know me? ”

My mind is in turmoil, what should I do? How to answer, I had an idea in my head, looked at their back and said, "Second elder brother is auspicious, slave maid to second elder brother to say goodbye." "Now in the palace, I have only seen the master of the second elder brother, so I can think of him as the only one left.

The fathers-in-law turned around and saluted, and I pulled Fleur and said, "Run!" "Before Fleur could react, she was pulled away by me, and a steamed bun fell from her body.

The father-in-law of the leader picked up the steamed buns on the ground and said: "It turned out that I came to steal food, and I asked two more people to chase after our family. ”

Five or six eunuchs caught up with me, and as I ran, I didn't see the bulging tiles under my feet, and I fell to the ground at once, and immediately tore a wound on my hand, bleeding outward.

Fleur stopped and came over to help me, but I didn't think that we were both caught, and the father-in-law ran over panting and said, "Run, run, tell you to run, and dare to steal, you are from that palace?" ”

"From the Labor Bureau." I said stubbornly in my voice.

"It turned out to be from that hellish place, and I didn't repent after being punished, so beat me, beat me hard."

As soon as the father-in-law's words came out, several eunuchs punched and kicked up, and fell on my body like raindrops.

Fleur threw herself on top of me and beat me up, trembling with pain, and said, "Father-in-law, spare us." ”

I took Fleur under me in turn and said loudly to the eunuch, "Fight it, sooner or later I will return you all!" ”

"Stop, how can the queen allow you to be presumptuous here!" A loud shout interrupted their fists and feet, and they all knelt on the ground in fear, shouting: "The queen mother is auspicious." ”

I looked down and only looked at the shoes of a few palace maids and a few eunuchs carrying the sedan chair behind me, only to hear a majestic voice on the sedan chair saying to the eunuch who led the imperial dining room: "Gonggong Sheng, what is this doing, if you want to punish the slaves, you should send them to the Shen Penal Division, what kind of system do you want to do here!" ”

Father-in-law Sheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to reply: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the slaves don't dare, these two palace maids from the labor bureau came to the imperial dining room to steal something to eat, so the slaves did it in a hurry." ”

The voice was still majestic, and he said without a trace of emotion: "Then send it to the Criminal Division, and you will have to be careful in the future." ”

Before the queen's words fell, I opened my mouth and said: "Queen mother, the slave maid is also forced to be helpless, my sister is sick, she wants to eat Ruyi cake, it would be good to eat in the labor bureau, where will there be Ruyi cake, the slave has no choice but to come to the imperial dining room to steal, please forgive the mother." I said with the idea of touching the queen with sincerity.

The queen thought for a moment and said, "How can this palace, a person who values love and righteousness, embarrass you." He also said to Father-in-law Sheng: "Just give her Ruyi cake, and don't beat and scold again." ”

I glanced at the hibiscus happily, before I could thank him, the queen's sedan chair left like this, I looked up and saw the back of the bright yellow phoenix robe, and I was grateful.

The wound on my hand had already scabbed, and Fleur and I limped into the inner room, and gave the Ruyi cake to Fufeng, who wiped away his tears and hugged me and Fleur and said, "I have never seen my father and mother in my life, and I don't have any relatives, you are my relatives." ”

I gently patted Fufeng on the back and said, "I promised you that I would protect you, and I would definitely do it." ”
