The palace does not stipulate how much or what the palace maid eats for dinner, but in order to avoid being hypocritical or having a peculiar smell when waiting for the master, the palace people take the initiative to eat eight points full, and do not eat fish and shrimp and other tasteful things.

A few mouthfuls of tongue desires will save a small life.

However, this does not apply to Luomei Xuan. Because there is no master in Luomei Xuan, few craftsmen in Luomei Xuan have come to the master to wait.

On weekdays, Mama Qin doesn't care about their food, but today she drove everyone back to the house, and she was tired of thinking about it.

The consequences of the palace people whispering in private were very serious, so the craftsmen present stood up one after another and went back to their respective rooms silently.

Although Lingxi has not been in the palace for a long time, he has also noticed the strange smell in it. sighed in my heart, Yuan'er, I'm afraid it's gone......

Chun'er once said that the masters of the palace people are the ladies of each palace, and when the ladies are happy and developed, they will follow the glory. The ladies were left out in the cold, and the palace people who waited for the ladies were also dwarfs.

And the craftsmen of Luomei Xuan, the masters who are waiting for them are flowers and plants. If the flowers and plants live well, they will live well. If the flowers and plants don't live well, then they can only pay for the flowers and plants, and their lives are like grass mustard.

When the spring was cold, a few camellia plants that Chun'er was waiting for were cold, and many leaves were lost. Scared, Chun'er couldn't sleep well for a few nights, and stayed in front of the camellia day and night, almost kowtowing to the flower a few times.

Chun'er said to Lingxi more than once, "How good it would be if I waited for a wren, just throw some fresh insects in exchange for some clean water every day, and I don't need to be as frightened as I am now." ”

Lingxi pretended to be confused on his face, but said in his heart that living things are more difficult to wait for than dead things at any time. Camellia is covered by the cold for a few days, and it is enough to put more flower fertilizer. If Brother Wren gets cold, that's really a terrible thing.

The next day, Mama Qin brought in a palace maid to take over Yuan'er's work. The palace maid was fifteen or sixteen years old, looking stunned, with her head down and not squinting, and was arranged in the room where Yuan'er lived before.

Yuan'er is like a speck of dust, gently blown by someone, and there is not even a trace left.

After feeding Brother Wren on this day, Lingxi asked Chun'er, who was embroidering, "Sister, I'm ...... If we don't leave the palace, what will happen in the end? ”

What Lingxi wanted to ask was where she would have ended up if she hadn't survived that day. She knew that Chun'er was taboo about this, so she changed her words

Chun'er took the right hand of the embroidery needle for a moment, and then raised her eyes to look at Lingxi, and a far-fetched smile appeared in her good-looking eyebrows, "We will all leave the palace, and when Concubine Cui gives birth to a dragon, maybe the emperor will amnesty the world as soon as he is happy, and let a few palace people out." ”

Lingxi listened and stopped talking.

Let's not mention that Cui Guifei is not the mother of the country, she gave birth to a dragon son, and she is not qualified to celebrate with the whole world. Just said that there are thousands of palace maids in this palace, how slim is the chance of going out.

Seeing that Lingxi's little face collapsed, Chun'er smiled, and said with a slightly pale face, "In the corner of the cold palace, there is a dry well......

Lingxi's heart trembled, it turned out that this was the final place where the palace maid went.

The ball chrysanthemums that were newly paid tribute a few years ago are huge, and the yellow chrysanthemums are blooming, which is very festive. What is even more special about this chrysanthemum is that it does not bloom only in autumn like other chrysanthemums, it blooms every month.

The flowers bloom in the first half of the month, fall in the middle of the month, and bear buds the size of a baby's fist in the second half of the month.

Empress Dowager Cui likes this chrysanthemum very much, and every time it blooms, the palace maid puts the ball chrysanthemum in the Changle Hall for Empress Dowager Cui to enjoy, and then sends it back to Meixuan.

Because the flower branch was broken, the ball chrysanthemum was not placed in the Changle Hall in early March, and the Empress Dowager Cui also specially asked two sentences.

For this reason, the flowering period of this ball chrysanthemum in April is particularly important to the craftsmen in Luomei Xuan, for fear that if there is any mistake in the ball chrysanthemum, all the craftsmen will be punished.

But even if Luomei Xuan's craftsmen carefully guarded him day and night, Qiu Ju still made a mistake.

In the West Warm Pavilion, the craftsman knelt on the ground, and the ball chrysanthemum placed on the ground of the Warm Pavilion, a half-opened flower bud was destroyed, as if it had been cut by scissors.

Mama Qin held a bamboo stick in her hand, pointed at everyone and said fiercely, "You are doing death!" A purple jade girl will come over tomorrow. This, this ......"

The new craftsman who came to take care of Qiu Ju was named Lu'er, who knelt on the ground and shed tears vigorously, but he didn't dare to cry, so he could only beg for mercy in a trembling voice, "Mama saves the slave and maid......"

This pot of ball chrysanthemums is well cared for on weekdays, and the fertilizer does not dare to put more or less points, in order to be able to put the ball chrysanthemums in the front hall at the beginning of April for the Empress Dowager Cui to enjoy.

Today, she saw that the sun outside was good, so she thought about letting Qiu Ju go out to see the sun.

But who would have thought that when she came back from taking the cotton mat, Qiu Ju would already be like this. It was only a quarter of an hour before and after, and there were no outsiders in Luo Meixuan's courtyard.

"Mama......" Lu'er kowtowed to Mama Qin, "Mama will definitely save me......"

The bamboo stick in Steward Qin's hand wanted to be pulled down, but in the end he sat down calmly on the chair.

The first time Qiu Ju had an accident, it can be said that the craftsmen were negligent, but this time there was an accident again, and it was obviously deliberately done by someone.

The green child who waits for the ball chrysanthemum is newly dialed, and it is impossible to grudge with others. Speaking of which, this matter is aimed at her Qin Guan.

Mama Qin turned her eyes around the craftsmen's bodies a few times.

Luo Meixuan's steward position is not a fat shortage in this palace, and it can even be said that no one wants to do it. Because there is less oil and water, there are few rewards, but if the flowers and plants are damaged, the punishment is many.

Of course, there are disadvantages and advantages to everything.

This Luo Mei Xuan is located in the Yongshou Palace, although the queen is the master of the harem to take care of all the affairs of the harem, but it can't take care of the Yongshou Palace. This Luo Mei Xuan is comfortable enough, and there is no fear of the outside steward who has to please the masters of several palaces.

After thinking about it for a long time, Steward Qin set his sights on Chun'er, Xiao Tao, and Yuan Chun. sent everyone else back to the house, leaving only Lu'er, Chun'er, Xiao Tao, and Yuanchun.

Xiao Tao is nineteen years old this year, and in another year she will be at the age where she can declare her leave the palace. According to Steward Qin's understanding, Xiao Tao has no relatives outside the palace, and she is helpless when she leaves the palace. Therefore, it is not ruled out that Xiao Tao wants to stay in the palace and seek a stewardship.

Yuan Chun is eighteen years old this year, although the old man outside the palace is sound, but he has a very good idea. Low-level palace maids are not allowed to wear flowers, but Yuan Chun has done enough in her hair bun. She is waiting for a few potted plants with green leaves, and occasionally she can carry a little green leaves on her head to make the finishing touch, which is really much stronger than the plain silver hairpin worn by a high-grade palace maid.

Steward Qin reprimanded Yuan Chun for this, and Yuan Chun replied timidly that he accidentally touched it while waiting for the potted plant, and immediately took the leaf away. But when they saw each other again, Yuan Chun's head was still dotted with green leaves.

Green leaves are not flowers, not gold or silver, Yuan Chun's monthly filial piety is more than others, and Steward Qin slowly acquiesced to Yuan Chun's approach.

Now it seems that this Yuan Chun has put his mind on the steward. I'm afraid that she is calculating in her heart, and after getting rid of herself, she can climb up here step by step.

And Chun'er, Steward Qin has been in love with the red plum and snow picture she embroidered for a long time.

Lu'er knew that she couldn't get out of it, and tears fell down in strings, and her body trembled vigorously.

A few peonies that Xiao Tao was waiting for were placed next to Qiu Ju, but Qiu Ju was in the yard and had nothing to do with her, so she could only slam her head on the ground and shout with teary eyes, "Mama Mingjian, when Qiu Ju had an accident, the slave was fertilizing the peony, and she couldn't go to the yard alone." Lu'er also saw this......"

Lu'er only cried vigorously and did not speak. When she took the cotton mat, she did see Xiao Tao fertilizing the peony, but if Mama Qin could make Xiao Tao's crime true, then she could be regarded as picking up a life.

Yuan Chun knelt on the ground, his long nails buckled into his palms. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and said to Mama Qin, "Mama, as you know, the slave is not here. ”

Dangerous moves, this is a very clever one.

Steward Qin was stunned in his heart, remembering that day he sent Yuan Chun out of Yongshou Palace to look for flower fertilizer, and soon after he came back, a little eunuch came to inquire about Yuan Chun. Although Steward Qin didn't know which palace the little eunuch belonged to, he guessed that the person who asked Yuan Chun must also be a master.

Thinking of this, Steward Qin calmed down and said, "What are you panicking about?" I stayed here because I believe in you, and I want to ask the three of you, have you ever noticed that there is a thief in our Luomei Xuan. ”

The three of them hurriedly shook their heads and said that they didn't know, and Steward Qin asked a few more questions left and right, and then let the three of them go back to the room.

After returning to the east ear room, Chun'er's clothes were already stained with a layer of cold sweat on her back.

Lingxi hurriedly brought a basin of water to let Chun'er wipe her sweat, and asked her to change her clothes by the way.

Chun'er grabbed Lingxi's hand and said, "Ling'er, remember, in this post-1 palace, you must be careful and never trespass." ”

Chun'er's hands were cold, like fresh snow in winter. Lingxi's small hand kicked back, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes, "Sister, you can't scare me, what did Mama say to you?" ”

Chun'er pulled out her hand and inserted it into the cover on the kang, and said with a somewhat empty look in her eyes, "I have been cautious, and I want to stay up until the day I leave the palace." There was an opportunity right now, but I didn't expect it to happen......"

Lingxi had never seen Chun'er like this, so she could only whisper comfortingly. But the Lingrhino man spoke softly, and when the sun was in the west, Chun'er's eyes were red and swollen, and tears had wet the round pillow under her head.

Lingxi couldn't persuade him, so he had to give up.

At dinner, Chun'er said that she was not hungry and did not eat, and Lingxi could not persuade her to go by herself. Due to the late arrival, there was no one in the courtyard anymore.

Suddenly, a white thing flew out of the West Warm Pavilion and went straight to the wall and disappeared.

Lingxi was startled, and a scream of surprise pressed into his throat and did not shout. When I think about it, it's clearly a cat!

Thinking of this, Lingxi hurriedly entered the Xinuan Pavilion, and saw that the flower bud that Qiu Ju was destroyed had been cut off, and the broken branch had also been treated, but the remaining two flower buds were completely intact on the branches.

Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, if this flower was destroyed again, then they really had no way to live.

However, how can there be a cat in this Luomei Xuan?
