As soon as the little palace maid heard this voice, her thin body trembled unconsciously, and her little face showed fear.

"Here we are." The little palace maid shouted outside the door, and then said to Ye Ziqi: "Sister, you get out of here quickly." If they are seen, they will be punished by the governor. ”

Xiao Xijuan hurriedly ran out, Ye Ziqi followed out, and saw a eunuch scolding Xijuan with his head and face, and the little girl lowered her head and silently endured the angry scolding of the visitor.

"You idiot, are you lazy again? If it weren't for the face of Mr. Lei, would you be able to come to our imperial dining room? I don't work hard, and I just want to be lazy. Don't have dinner tonight. ”

After the man finished reprimanding, he explained the heavy task, "The cabbage in the warehouse, wash it before tomorrow, if it can't be cleaned, get out of the imperial dining room." ”

"Yes." The little joy of the cuckoo answered.

When Xiao Xijuan turned around, he saw that Ye Ziqi had not left, "Sister, you leave quickly, don't be discovered." ”

Ye Ziqi glanced at her and touched her little head, "I'll leave now." ”

Originally, I was going to ask her who was Xijuan. Now there is no need to ask, looking at that small body is bearing the oppression of other palace people, doing heavy work, and the indifference of the people around him is even more of a sharp sword.

If you continue to live like this in such an environment, kindness will be worn out little by little, and assimilation will follow.

Ye Ziqi left, and when it was dark, she came to the imperial dining room again. The time for dinner passed, except for the eunuchs who stayed behind in the imperial dining room, the rest of the people went to rest, and in the corner, a small figure was washing cabbage.

Ye Ziqi squatted down and took the cabbage from the side.

Xiao Xijuan raised her eyes, and when she saw Ye Ziqi, her eyes were full of surprise, "Sister, why are you here?" ”

"I had nothing to do left and right, I happened to pass by the imperial dining room, and I saw that you were still busy, so I came over."

Xiao Xijuan seemed to be very happy, "Sister, don't move, I'll just do it." ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Ye Ziqi helped her wash the cabbage, Xiao Xijuan looked at her, a trace of warmth surged in the depths of her heart, and her eyes were slightly red, "Sister, you are a good person." ”

Ye Ziqi smiled and didn't say much.

"My name is Xijuan, sister, what's your name?" Xiao Xijuan asked.

"It doesn't matter what my name is. The most important thing now is to quickly wash these bok choy, and then you can rest earlier. Ye Ziqi changed the topic very successfully, making her forget her name.

An hour later, Ye Ziqi glanced up at the moonlight and estimated the time.

"The hour is getting late. The palace gate is going to be locked, and I have to go back first. ”

Xiao Xijuan nodded, "Sister, go back quickly." ”

Ye Ziqi got up to leave, Xiao Xijuan watched and left, and then returned to the corner to wash vegetables. Soon after she left, Ye Ziqi returned to the imperial dining room again and entered directly.

It was late at night, and there was no one in the dining room.

Ye Ziqi quickly found the ingredients, cooked with his hands and feet, and a sweet and sour tenderloin with full color and flavor was freshly baked.

When she had finished the things, she did not call them the cuckoo, but threw a small stone and led the little magpie over. Xiao Xijuan was very strange to see the extra plate of sweet and sour tenderloin in the kitchen.

The smell of food kept getting into her nose, tickling her back.

There was no one around, and the little Xijuan, who was eating for a day, secretly tasted a piece, and was immediately conquered by the wonderful taste.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, which frightened Xiao Xijuan's face bloodless, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the little Li Zi's father-in-law from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
