Lu Ying is in charge of serving the Queen Mother to comb her hair, and at other times she is much more leisurely, seeing that Ah Fu and Jiang Xing'er are both honest children, she taught them a lot of things, and also told them some stories. Ah Fu asked about Yulan Palace, and she also said it cheerfully.

"Yulan Palace is occupied by Mrs. Xuan. She was favored when she entered the palace, and later gave birth to the beauty of the third princess. The third princess is very smart and clever, Yuxue is cute, and the emperor loves her very much. Later, Xuanmei gave birth to the prince of Zhe, was promoted to his wife, and lived in Yulan Palace. How do you remember to ask this? ”

"The two companions I knew when I first entered the palace are now assigned to Yulan Palace, and I met them when I received the meal."

"Oh." Lu Ying nodded: "Probably the prince of Zhe has added someone by his side." ”

Serving the prince, I don't know if it's very hard.

Ah Fu made a pot of tea for Jiang Xing'er, and Lu Ying took it over and poured a cup, the color of the tea was light green, and it tasted slightly sour and sweet, not brewed with tea.

"What kind of tea is this?"

"Xing'er ate too much greasy yesterday and had diarrhea, so I came back from picking up a few grass leaves in the garden, crushing them and flushing them with water for her to drink."

"Yo, there are still herbs in the garden?"

"It's not herbal medicine, it's just that when I was out earlier, I heard people say that this can cure diarrhea ...... stomach," Ah Fu said in a lower voice: "I don't know if it's effective." ”

Someone outside shouted, "Luying, are you in the house?" Then he pushed the door open and walked in.

Ah Fu stood up.

The palace woman who came in obviously did not have the beauty of her voice. The voice of the question outside just now was soft and waxy, but I was a little fatter, and my waist looked like there was no waist.

"The Queen Mother just said that she should find out the set of jade heads and give it to the third princess."

"Ah, here it is." Lu Ying put down the teacup and wanted to go out with her, but the palace maid was about to leave, and suddenly turned her head: "I heard that Mrs. Liu brought back two little girls, is that them?" ”

Jiang Xing'er was lying there sleeping groggily, and Ah Fu bowed her knees slightly: "I've seen my sister, my sister calls me Ah Fu." ”

"Well, I'm Zimei."

Ah Shen said obediently: "Sister Zimei, please teach more in the future." ”

Zimei nodded, her expression was a little indifferent, and she went with Hongying.

In the evening, Xing'er finally got better, although there was meat in the rice, but she didn't dare to touch a piece, and ate it with tea.

"I often hear people say that people are poor and short-minded, but I'm good, poor and thin, and I can't tolerate good food."

Ah Fu wanted to laugh very much, but held back.

Probably there's a reason for that.

"I'll be fine in the future."

"Thank you, Ah Fu."

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

The next day, Liu Run saw them waiting there together, and he didn't say much.

In the hot summer, the flowers and trees in the Defu Palace are deep, which somewhat offsets a bit of the heat. Lu Ying takes good care of them, and does not forget to leave them a mung bean soup in the house every day, and sometimes they can drink a rare chilled sour plum soup.

But Ah Fu knew that not all palace maids had such good luck. One day I met Jiang Shuxiu, she talked about the girls who lived in the same house, but were assigned to Xiangshen Yuan, there were still many people crowded into one room and one bunk, and they couldn't finish their daily work, and they were often scolded and punished.

"Also, although we don't have a lot of money yet, they definitely won't get a few pennies......"

Ah Fu didn't dare to let her say more, and waved his hand at her.

"I know......" she lowered her voice, "You're no one else." ”

"How have you been doing? Are you tired of work? Have you been beaten or scolded? ”

"Fortunately, Sister Huizhen takes good care of me, she is smart, and I didn't make any big mistakes with her mentioning. Mrs. Xuan has a good temper, and the third princess is also very good...... It's Prince Zhe," she suddenly changed the subject: "Anyway, I'm just doing some chores, delivering things, sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard or something." ”

Ah Fu felt that this kind of quiet day of dealing with flowers and plants was not much different from his previous life in the mountains. But...... You can see the vast sky from the mountain, and everything is so comfortable. The sky here is square, tightly framed. You can't speak loudly, you have to walk lightly, and even the most stupid Shuxiu has gradually become more regular. Ah Fu was a little curious about how she had changed so quickly, but at the same time, he vaguely felt that it was better not to explore the reason.

But Xing'er heard the reason, and of course immediately told Ah Fu. Yulan Palace is next to Beiyuan, and there is a little palace maid who has just entered the palace because she speaks carelessly, and she was scolded by the cane for twenty, probably seriously injured, although she could still speak at that time, but she swallowed her breath that night.

"Shuxiu seems to be the same villager as that little palace maid, she must be frightened." Xing'er shrunk her head: "Fortunately, we are in Defu Palace, and the Queen Mother is a good person." ”

Is the Queen Mother a good person?

Ah Fu didn't know that they hadn't seen the Queen Mother yet. They are all menial chores, and they are far away from the nobles.

However, the Queen Mother was also one of the countless beauties in the harem. She has the ability to overwhelm the crowd and have the last laugh - of course, the Queen Mother may be kind now.

Xing'er enthusiastically helped Ah Fu with a job today. Liu Run's sleeve was cut by a flower branch, and Xing'er took the initiative to enthusiastically say that they would help him make it up.

Of course, Xing'er's hand needlework is better than hiding ugliness.

She smiled very flatteringly, and handed the blue-gray coat to Ah Fu: "Sister Ah Fu, please excuse me...... I'll hit the face and foot water! I'm going to get food! You're going to help me ......."

"You."

Even if she doesn't say it, Ah Fu will make it up, and Liu Run takes good care of them.

Liu Run......

Ah Fu thought of him and felt that his mood was very complicated.

The palace maid may have one day to leave, waiting for the grace of the distant emperor, so that these women who have been imprisoned in their freedom and consumed their youth can leave the imperial city. But Liu Run: They had no choice.

Ah Fu's hand trembled, and a drop of blood oozed out, quickly fading a dark red circle on the blue-gray fabric.

Ah, oops! It's hard to wash this light-colored garment with blood! If you scrub too much, the blue and gray color on the top will also be taken off, and the clothes will be gray and white, but you can't look at it!

Ah Fu frowned, what else could he do besides the soap horn......

Ah Fu flipped through the sewing basket, and there was a light gray thread, about silky, which looked a little soft and shiny.

Ah Fu looked at the light, and the thread looked like a cloud of smoke in the light, probably because of this, so it was not easy to embroider any patterns.

Well, it shouldn't be difficult to cover up, and it can be done before dark. It's inconvenient after dark, the candles are precious, the oil lamps have smoke and smoke, don't say it clearly, and the eyes are particularly uncomfortable for a little longer.

Well, start work.

Ah Fu looked at the sky outside, hoping that it would be finished before dark!

The sun was about to set, and it was already much darker in the house. Apricot brought their dinner, and the first thing she saw was the neatly folded dress at the head of the bed.

"Ah, it's already sewn?"

She shook off her clothes and looked at them, flattened them again, and her eyes widened and widened: "This, this is made up...... Ford! You're so good at it! This is seamless! ”

Ah Fu, who was very hungry after working for half an afternoon, took a bite of the wheat cake and said vaguely: "What has been mended is the left placket, what do you look at the right placket?" ”
