Nine Taiping Temple
The emperor didn't leave, and they didn't dare to move, for fear of blocking the way and obstructing their eyes, and they were afraid that if there were orders from above, they would not respond in time, but fortunately, standing under the wall could block the sun, and it was not so hot. When Ah Fudu felt that his legs were sore, and finally the emperor came out of it, and they were all short and kneeling in a row.
Ah Fu is not sad in his heart.
These palace maids, eunuchs...... In fact, in the eyes of these nobles, they probably can't be regarded as human beings at all, right?
Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work, large beads of sweat dripped into the soil under his feet, and his hands were covered with mud and could not be wiped, and the sweat entered his eyes, and the pickled pain was painful.
Ah Fu squatted down and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
Liu Run covered the eyes of others with his body and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" Get up? β
"Sweat is in my eyes......" Ah Fu sniffed, his voice a little hoarse.
Liu Run breathed a sigh of relief - in the palace, these people not only do not have the right to laugh, but also have no freedom to cry.
"You go over there and take a break."
"It's okay, that's pretty much it."
Ah Fu stood up, got up violently, and his head was a little dizzy. Raising his head, the sunlight of the white flowers in front of his eyes also became in a trance for a while.
"Ah Fu, come over for a moment."
Zimei stood under the porch and beckoned to her. Ah Fu walked over to her. Zimei frowned and looked her up and down: "You go wash your face first and change your clothes." β
Ah Fu nodded, she was a little fluttery when she walked, and when she returned to the house, Xing'er had already eaten it, and she also deducted two coarse buns under the bowl. Ah Fu didn't care about eating, poured several mouthfuls of water, and washed his face fiercely, only then did he feel a little lively.
"Sister Afu, I'll be able to ...... in the afternoon"
"You'd better lie down." Ah Fu blocked Xing'er's words back in one bite.
"Why don't you go for a while?"
"Sister Zimei called me over."
"Oh." Apricot was honest right away. She was a little afraid of Zimei.
Ah Fu walked around the corridor, the door of Zimei's house was open, and there were two dotted bags on the table.
Ah Fu didn't think about whether to step in or greet her before entering, Zimei turned her head to look at her and beckoned: "Come in." β
Zimei is the most unassuming one of the palace maids in Defu Palace, usually with a cold face, usually everyone talks about it, and everyone says that she will definitely take over Mrs. Liu's class in the future - although she hasn't picked it up yet, but the pie has already been put out.
Zimei's words were beyond Ah Fu's expectations: "You pack up your things tooβfollow me to the Taiping Hall tomorrow." β
Ah Fu didn't understand, and repeated: "Taiping Palace? β
"Well, you also saw it yesterday, there are no useful people beside Prince Gu, in the words of the Queen Mother, 'I can't lift it and can't put it down, and there is no one who can handle it'......"
Ah Fu's head was empty, and he didn't have any ideas.
Gu Huangzi......
Obviously, he only glanced at it a few times yesterday, but I don't know why, but I remember it firmly, and even the color of the jade crown on his head was so clear as if it was right in front of him.
Ah Fu felt that he probably hadn't woken up from the chaotic dream last night, so he nodded dizzily, and then went back to the house to clean up his things.
To be honest, the little burden was a little more bulging than when she first entered the Defu Palace, and as soon as Xing'er heard that she was leaving, she got up from the bed with a bone, and before she could speak, the tears were falling from the crackles.
"Ah, Sister Afu, what should I do if you leave...... Why don't I go with you? Tell Sister Zimei, let's go over together? β
Ah Fu also felt that his nose was sour, and suddenly he was going to a completely unfamiliar place again. Taiping Temple...... It sounds, why does it make people feel like they have something in their hearts, that is, they can't be peaceful?
Ah Fu made Xing'er reluctant to get it, in fact, the Queen Mother didn't know which green onion Ah Fu was, and she would definitely not let her go to the Taiping Palace to serve by her name. It should have been ordered by Zimei, and then Zimei chose Ah Fu again, and she should be the only one who was selected.
Xing'er and Ah Fu went hand in hand to find Zimei, Zimei was talking to Hongjin, Hongjin's eyes were red, listening to Afu trying to finish his words calmly, Hongjin's voice was blocked: "These two children, enter the palace together...... Otherwise, let them go over together, and take care of each other. We also entered the palace in a year, and after so many years, we came over in a flash......"
Things went surprisingly well, Xing'er was still happy, glad that they didn't have to separate, and went back to pack their bags with Ah Fu. Ah Fu was thinking a lot about it at this time.
The work of Defu Palace is not heavy, they have always only used to do things on flowers and trees, but when they arrive at the Taiping Palace, it is not necessarily. Moreover, whether it is Mrs. Liu of Defu Palace, or the sisters of Lu Ying who are in charge of their small palace, they are all very kind and caring for people, but will the steward of the Taiping Palace be so good? After all, Ah Fu and Xing'er haven't been beaten yet - but the news from Hong Shuxiu and Chen Huizhen that the two of them have been more or less beaten, whether it is the punishment of the housekeeper's wife, or the bullying of the big palace maid, these are inevitable.
Ah Fu glanced at Xing'er and didn't say anything.
Acot was packing up her things, and even the stone that pressed the window screen wanted to be put in the bag and taken away. Ah Fu was worried for a while, and couldn't help laughing when she saw her little bird moving its nest.
Well, the most surprising thing is that they saw Liu Run in the queue of several people at the door.
Liu Run also saw them, unobtrusively, and pursed his lower lip slightly.
When they passed, the surroundings were quiet, still going out from the side door when they came, Ah Fu couldn't help but look back, but except for a belt of palace walls and tiles, he didn't see anything else.
Taiping Temple......
Not far from Defu Palace, Ah Fu didn't know where to start his thoughts, and before he had time to sort out, he had already arrived at the place.
The Taiping Palace sounds very atmospheric, well, it looks quite atmospheric, but compared with Defu Palace, the place is smaller, the palace is older, and there are fewer people. The flowers and trees in the courtyard have probably not been carefully cared for for a long time - not uncared for, but not so carefully cared for, so they do not look as neat as the flowers and trees of Defu Palace, but they look lush and shady, and there is a kind of free and vigorous energy.
"Wait here, I'll go back to Your Highness."
The woman who dressed similarly to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Han, but looked much older, said to them. Zimei bowed politely: "I've seen Mrs. Yang." In the future, I will ask Mrs. to take care of me more. β
"Miss Purple Rose is polite."
Ah Fu waited under the porch, listening to the sound in the room, subtle, gentle, and calm...... Although I couldn't hear what was said, the voice sounded like a gurgling spring on this hot summer afternoon, making people feel that their minds were gradually settling down, and they were floating and disappearing.
Mrs. Yang came out again and said, "I have all come in and seen Your Highness." β
Ah Fu and the others followed behind Zimei and entered the Taiping Palace.
