Hua Qingrao read the booklet in King Mu's mansion all night, and she had roughly figured out the details of the ladies in the palace. It wasn't until dawn that a carriage at the back gate of King Mu's mansion left quietly.

Hua Qingrao sat on the chair, and the maid behind her held her hair in a bun. She stared at herself in the mirror, her mind drifting back to the wedding day.

On that day, she was as white as snow, as slippery as a clear wave, green silk, ten miles of red makeup, how could the mountains and rivers Xiao Xiao and Jun not care, cold swords and spears, blood-stained wedding dresses.

Hua Qingrao retracted her gaze, waved her hand to call a maid, pointed to the box on the table and said, "Help me clean up the jewelry inside, I'll take it to the palace." ”

With her hair tied up, she took a hairpin from the table and gently stuck it on her head.

The maid took out a piece of jade pendant from a separate layer of the box, put it in her hand and looked at it for a while, then turned her head and asked, "Do you still want this jade pendant?" ”

Hua Qingrao took the jade pendant from her hand and carefully held it in the palm of her hand. This jade pendant looks crystal clear, but it is white and flawed, and the inside of the jade pendant seems to be stained with bloodstains, with pieces of blood-colored marks.

This jade pendant was the last thought left to her by her parents, when the entire Zheng Wangfu was burned to ashes by a fire, and along with its former glory, it dissipated in the air of Beiyan with the cold wind.

She hung the jade pendant on her waist, just like hanging hatred on her waist, this revenge will not be avenged for a day, and the jade pendant will not be taken off for a day.

"Niangniang, the people in the palace are here." A maid walked in briskly and spoke.

Hua Qingrao raised her head and glanced at the maid who was packing up the jewelry. "Everything?"

"Packed up." The maid replied respectfully.

"Then let's go."

Hua Qingrao got up and walked out of the room, and a waiter was waiting outside the courtyard. Seeing her come out, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The little one is see Niangniang." ”

Hua Qingrao waved her hand casually, "The carriage is outside the door?" ”

"Yes, everything is ready for the mother, just move." The chamberlain replied.

Hua Qingrao walked out slowly and got into the carriage with the support of the chamberlain.

The carriage slowly drove out of the alley towards the palatial palace. There was no one in the street at the moment, only the sound of the wheels of the carriage passing by.

After a while, the carriage stopped. Hua Qingrao heard a man outside the car ask, "Who is in the car?" ”

The waiter replied: "Inside the car is Mrs. Ying, who is promoted by everyone." ”

Hua Qingrao knew in her heart that she had arrived at the gate of the palace at this moment. She raised her hand to lift the curtain of the carriage and took one last look at the world beyond the palace walls.

The chamberlain got into the carriage again and continued to run towards the palace.

Hua Qingrao lowered the car curtain, her heart had never been so calm as it was at this moment, and every step she took in the future was thrilling, and she couldn't tolerate a little mistake.

The chamberlain lifted the curtain and said respectfully: "Niangniang, your palace has arrived." ”

"Slave and maid see Niangniang."

Hua Qingrao got up and just got out of the carriage, and the palace maids who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time knelt down and saluted.

She glanced at the kneeling people on the ground, and looked up at the palace's golden plaque, the Changle Hall. She looked down and chuckled, wishing she could be happy until the end.

With the support of the chamberlain, she stepped out of the carriage and said in a faint voice to the palace maid, "Get up." ”

"Xie Niangniang."

Seeing that the palace maids all got up, Hua Qingrao slowly walked into the hall. Changle Hall is bigger than she imagined, as soon as she enters the door is a small garden, although the scale is not large, but the stone bench and small bridge, delicate flowers and flowing water are all available.

Crossing the bridge, you really reach the inside of the Changle Hall, and the entrance to the main hall is directly opposite the main hall, and the side halls are on both sides.

Hua Qingrao stopped her steps, turned her head and asked the maid, "What other master of Changle Hall lives here?" ”

One of the palace maids, who was quite old, leaned over and replied: "If you go back to Niangniang, there are no other masters living in Changle Palace. ”

Hua Qingrao's heart was shocked, but she still said calmly: "This position is just a lady, and I can't live in the main hall in this capacity, so I still live in the side hall." ”

So saying, he will lead the people to the left temple.

The palace maid, who was quite old, stopped Hua Qingrao in two steps, bowed her head and said respectfully: "Niangniang can't." ”

Hua Qingrao raised her eyebrows and looked at her scrutinically, "Why not?" ”

The palace maid lifted the palace skirt, knelt on the ground, and said: "The slave maid thinks that this palace is specially given to the mother by everyone and the queen, if the mother does not live in the main hall, I am afraid that the good will of everyone and the queen mother." Please also think again. ”

Hua Qingrao had a gentle smile on her face, leaned over and helped her up with her hands, "What's your name?" ”

The palace maid still hung her head and said in a low voice: "Slave Fangruo." ”

Hua Qingrao exclaimed: "Yan is more glamorous than peach and plum looking back, and Fang Ruozhilan is in front of the wind." Good name! She glanced at Fang Ruo's face, "From today onwards, you will be a first-class palace maid, in charge of the affairs of the Changle Palace. ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the palace maids showed envious expressions on their faces. Who would have thought that just because of a word, she would be promoted to a first-class palace maid.

The palace maid was also shocked, her face showed joy, and she was busy kneeling down again.

Hua Qingrao stopped her, "There is no need to have too many restraints here, as long as you serve wholeheartedly, this position will naturally not treat you badly." ”

"Yes."

The palace ladies once again responded in unison.

Hua Qingrao turned around and led them into the main hall, which also had a separate courtyard, but it was behind the hall. Although the entire main hall had been cleaned before she came, it could still be seen that it had been uninhabited for a long time.

Hua Qingrao is just a girl in the Qinglou, and the luggage she brings is naturally not as good as other girls, which can be said to be pitiful. It didn't take long for several palace maids to be placed.

Hua Qingrao asked their names and arranged the things she would be responsible for in the future one by one. found a reason, left a palace maid named Snow Kite, and sent the rest away.

When everyone in the house was clean, the snow kite lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice respectfully: "Snow kite see Niangniang." ”

Hua Qingrao blew away the floating tea leaves in the teacup in her hand, took a sip, and a light fragrance of tea spread in her mouth.

She looked up at the snow kite kneeling underneath, looking at about 16 or 7 years old, although her appearance was plain, but because of her fair skin, it added a bit of beauty.

"Who have you served before?"

Xue Kite raised her head, looked at Hua Qingrao, and replied clearly word by word: "Lord Mu." ”

Hua Qingrao looked at her clear eyes, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, "What did the prince explain?" ”

Seeing that she didn't let herself get up, Snow Kite still knelt down and replied, "The master instructed the slave and maid to assist the mother in all her actions." ”
