Shangqing Zhu made a home on Hua Zhuoer's neck.

In the second half of the night, she hugged my arm, her forehead pressed tightly against my arm, and her shallow breath was warm and I never pulled my arm back.

The next day, before dawn, we were woken up.

We were woken up by the hunched old eunuch who led us into the palace yesterday, his ring ruler banging on the bed.

Hua Zhuo'er reacted quickly, pulled me up, the ring ruler did not fall on me, she whispered to me: "Let's be careful, be smart, remind each other, and take fewer beatings!" ”

Whispered to her.

The old eunuch is one of the six monks, Shangyi Fang, and others respect him as a Wen father-in-law, and he is in charge of the position of master of ceremonies and newcomers entering the palace to train them.

After eating simple food and changing into the clothes of the lowest palace maid in the palace, Gonggong Wen took us to the courtyard in front.

There were many palace maids standing still in the courtyard and talking in whispers.

Gonggong Wen stepped forward to the woman in front of him, and even said politely: "Aunt Si Yan (Yan), people, I brought them here, they are all new little girls who came in yesterday, the eldest twelve, good students and trains, and they will all be clever ghosts in the future!" ”

The priest is from the rank of a female official in the Jiupin Palace, under the jurisdiction of one of the six monks, and is in charge of laying the sprinkler sweep.

Aunt Si Xiao is a beautiful woman in her twenties, she bowed slightly, and said politely: "There is Lao Wen's father-in-law, the queen mother is heartbroken on the day the eldest prince gets married, and the manpower in the palace is really more and more insufficient!" ”

Gonggong Wen smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The eldest prince is the queen's mother-in-law, marrying a concubine is a big deal, and the queen's mother is also happy to worry about everything." Time is pressing, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, hurry up and order to go down, don't miss the marriage of the eldest prince, and the queen will blame it! ”

Aunt Si Xiao showed a smile to him, and turned to the palace maids in the upper courtyard, her face was cold: "Take your things well, serve them carefully, make the ladies of the palaces unhappy, Lord Shangyu will not intercede for you, a broken mat is your final destination!" ”

Everyone responded cautiously: "Obey Aunt Si's order!" ”

Aunt Si Xiao waved her hand: "Hurry up, while the palace ladies haven't gotten up yet, do everything that needs to be done!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded, and the fish rushed out.

There were only ten of our new little girls left in the courtyard at once, and Aunt Si Xiao wiped her hands with a handkerchief, slowly moved over, looked at us and said, "You palace maids who have just entered the palace, your hands and feet are sharper, and you have wiped all the places that the masters of the cold palace can see." If any of you want to do well, I will naturally promote you! ”

Aunt Si Xiao changed her words as she spoke, and her voice was as dull as cold: "Of course, if you are treacherous and slippery, and your hands and feet are not good, I naturally have a way to punish you?" ”

Wei Weinuo's voice came and went, and he answered with a trembling: "Understood! ”

Aunt Si Xiao motioned for us to pick up the rags and buckets in the corner of the courtyard, turned around and said, "Follow me, all follow!" ”

Walking silently all the way, the eldest prince married a concubine, there were not enough people in the palace, and Aunt Si Fang divided the ten of us into ten courtyards.

I carried the bucket and went to the yard where Aunt Sifang had told me to clean.

I rolled up my sleeves, my hand just touched the door panel, and with a creak, the door opened from the inside, and I was startled.

A short and a tall eunuch laughed and talked to each other, and when they saw me, they were stunned at first.

Then the taller eunuch raised his toes and put one hand on my shoulder.

I was pushed down on the strip and poured a bucket next to it, and the water poured down the steps, soaking the whole steps.

"Where did you come from, little palace maid, is this place where you should have come?"

got up from the ground and knelt in front of the two young eunuchs: "Father-in-law, the slave and maid were sent by Aunt Si Xiao, and they did the thing of cleaning the room and collided with the father-in-law, please forgive the father-in-law!" ”

The taller eunuch's voice was sharp: "It turned out that Aunt Si Xiao asked you to come, then hurry up and clean up, if you are lazy, we will definitely report to Aunt Si Xiao, so that you can't eat and go around!" ”

"Yes! Be! Slave and maid, clean up! In a panic, I got up and carried the bucket, ran to the well, picked up a bucket of water from the well, poured it into my bucket without looking, and walked to the house.

The shorter eunuch let out a rude laugh, "You said that this little palace maid, will you be scared to death later?" ”

The taller eunuch followed with a smile: "Scared to death, scared to death, are there still fewer dead people in this palace?" Aunt Si Xiao asked her to clean up, we can't help but give face! ”

"Yes, yes!" The shorter eunuch said again and again: "Aunt Si Xiao doesn't give face, but Lord Shangyu has to give face!" ”

The taller eunuch urged: "It's good to know, then let's go quickly, this place is really unlucky!" ”

The voices of the two eunuchs faded away, and I entered the room step by step, which was dim and smelled of rust and feces and urine.

Rubbing the outer hall with the smell, he went to the inner room, the door of which was closed.

I tried to push it twice before I pushed the door open, and the inside room was a little darker than the outer hall, and the smell of feces and urine was a little stronger than the outside.

I went in and started cleaning, until I reached the corner of the wall, and suddenly a huge urn appeared in front of my eyes.

The appearance of the urn jar is that of ordinary people, brewing and storing vegetables, with a thin head and a large body.

The urn jar was also covered with a huge filling, and the smell of rust and feces and urine was the heaviest around.

Frightened, he swallowed his saliva, and reached out to touch the lid of the jar, but before he could pick it up, there was a small moan from inside.

The whimpering and moaning of people?

Sizzle.

I turned around and looked at the window where the sound had come from.

A pair of dark eyes appeared through the cracks in the window.

My heart pounded and I was facing those dark eyes!

"Squeak!" There was a thud from the urn in the corner.

I was so shocked that I quickly followed the sound to see that the urn in the corner was still the same, and I suddenly looked back at the crack in the window.

The pair of pitch-black eyes just now are gone.

The sound of a small moan was gone.

Stabilized his mind, wiped the rag in his hand, wiped the urn and jar, and wondered slightly, how could a vegetable urn be hidden so deep in the palace?

There was a sudden squeak again, like a newborn mouse, pinched in the hand and squeaked in fear.

The hand trembled and put it on the lid of the urn, and the sound came from the urn jar here, and with the fear in his heart, he gently lifted his hand, and he didn't see what was inside.

A cold voice came from behind me, without any emotion.

"It's really noisy!"

A shudder, knelt down with a thud, leaned over and didn't dare to raise his head: "The slave doesn't know anything, please forgive your father-in-law!" ”

My plea for mercy was not echoed in the slightest, and I saw a pair of feet walking in front of me.

Lying on the ground, with his head tilted slightly upward, the owner who saw the cold voice walked to the urn in the corner, knelt down on one knee, and reached out to touch the human head poking out of the urn as if it were a thousand pounds.
