The rough work done by the palace maid was a little more difficult than Su Die imagined.

The royal family is very particular about everything, and under the dignity, it must be the hard work of countless people. Not to mention the daily consumption of the ladies of each palace, even the female eunuchs of this palace are also required to dress neatly and neatly, so as not to damage the royal face. This casual request, to be satisfied, is the hard work of this Huanyi palace maid day and night. When she came in, she didn't have any spare time. As the saying goes, when a tree falls down, it scatters, and when a person falls down, everyone steps on it. The days after she came in were extremely busy and fulfilling. Get up before dawn; When the moon hung in the sky, she was still working. It can be said that it is: 6 to 9, no public holidays.

The people here are at the bottom, and there is no joy or happiness in every day, only endless labor. Because of this, not too many people will buy her arrival. In addition to the leading grandmother, her status as a daughter is somewhat taboo. Others, most of them, think that she is no different from them, and when she comes here, her life is the end.

On the third watch of the month, Su Die was still washing in the courtyard, and what she washed today was two large pots of clothes for the palace guards. The guard's clothes smelled of sweat, dirty and dirty, and the material was hard, making it the most difficult to wash. She was given two pots of the maid's clothes, but when she entered the house, she was changed into the guard's. She didn't say anything, but washed as usual. Debating with them was a waste of time, she didn't want to, and she didn't bother to care. It's normal for people here to dislike her, she sees it thoroughly, and she doesn't have too many emotions in her heart.

These women, in order to serve the royal bureaucracy, have spent their best years. In their hearts, they are already resistant to these classes. But she is the biological daughter of this bureaucrat, the wife of the emperor himself. Today, when they have fallen here, they have a sense of bringing in their hearts, and they feel that the proud girl of this day is nothing more than that, and in the end, she is not just like them, she is a low-level palace maid. While feeling happy in my heart, I will inevitably fall into the well and step on her.

Washing clothes here is the same as in ancient times, soaking clothes, putting soap horns, constantly beating with sticks, rubbing repeatedly, washing and floating, and drying. The process is lengthy, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Su Die glanced at the slender jade hand soaked in the water, and felt sorry for the former master, she must not have thought that her hand would one day be used by Su Die to wash the clothes of her subordinates. She misses the modern automatic washing machine very much, and throws it in casually, and it smells wafting out. Sure enough, this technology is the primary productive force.

The darker the night, Su Die looked at the few clothes left, stretched her waist, and the soreness seemed to be relieved. She looked up slightly at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly became interested in singing. remembered an old song that I used to like very much, coughed lightly twice, and hummed softly:

The night is blank and dark

The crescent moon on the horizon is like a hook

Reminiscing about the past is like a dream

Rediscover where to find your dreams

People are thousands of miles away

I have never asked my heart to be worried

Please greet Mingyuedai

Tears often flow when people are missing

The moonlight is cloudy and the night is not over

The surroundings are lonely and peaceful

The cold light on the table is unknown

Accompany me to sit alone and be lonely

There is no news from thousands of miles away

But there is no basis for asking from afar

Please send the letter on behalf of Mingyue

Send me a piece of paper to comfort the parting feelings

……

Wan Yan Che stood quietly behind the tree, and he had been here for more than half an hour. He listened attentively to the song that Su Die hummed softly, inexplicably familiar, and there was a trace of homesickness in his heart. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, this is his country, his home. Where should he think about his homesickness?

The late autumn wind has brought some coolness, Su Die's body is thin, like a butterfly with folded wings in this night, accompanied by the artistic conception of her song, beautiful and desolate.

The next day, early in the morning, she was summoned. It was said that she was given a cleaning errand in a pavilion today.

She walked with the palace maid who was assigned together, thinking as she walked, wondering in her heart: What happened today, did she leave this beautiful difference that does not need to be wet? Since she came into this North Garden, she has always been doing laundry. She thought that this was Wan Yanche's special instruction, which could be regarded as revenge and humiliation against her.

The emperor in her heart has always been this kind of narrow-minded person who will repay him. She gave him a green hat in public, although it was unintentional, but it was a fact. If what she had suffered today had made him feel better, she didn't really blame him. Cause and effect, the former lord loved the six princes deeply, and jumped into the lake to sweep the emperor's face, and now she is responsible for paying off this debt, which is understandable.

Su Die was still in a daze, and the palace maid beside her called: "Slaves and maids greet all the maids." With that, he knelt on the ground, clasped his hands on the ground, his forehead was against him, his body was tense, and he was extremely careful.

Su Die looked up and saw that in the pavilion, there were several women sitting upright, these women were none other than the emperor's concubines and nobles. Su Die glanced at it lightly, Dong Shaoling, Su Meng, Sima Xiao, Qing He, Ma Xiuxuan, well, all of them are here, there are a lot. There is also an answer to what she just wondered, today's thing is not beautiful, it seems to be a Hongmen banquet.

Everyone looked at Su Die with different thoughts. Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Su Meng couldn't hold back at first, and opened her mouth: "Today, I made an appointment with your sisters to enjoy the flowers in this Luoying Pavilion, and specially instructed the Internal Affairs Office to send a few clever people to come over to serve, but I don't want to, it's actually my sister." After that, he covered his mouth, looking very surprised.

Su Die still didn't say anything, she came all the way, in fact, she felt very sorry for Su Xiang. In addition to the sons who have been fighting outside the country all the year round, only these two daughters are left. One has already returned to the Nine Heavens, although the body is there, but she and Su Xiang do not have half of the father-daughter relationship, nor are they half interested in his court road and power struggle. The remaining one is a brainless one, Su Xiang bet his officialdom future on this Su Meng, which is indeed commendable.

Su Meng saw that Su Die didn't pay attention to her at all, so he was angry, and said angrily: "Now that you are a lowly palace maid, seeing that this concubine doesn't kneel down and doesn't reply to questions, what kind of crime should you know?" ”

Su Die raised her eyebrows, dealing with Su Mengzhi and the others, it seemed that silence was not a good strategy, she said indifferently: "I don't know what my sister is doing, although I am on an errand in this Beiyuan now, I am the same root as my sister after all." If I knelt down and replied to your words this time, I would really admit your lowly words, which would damage the lintel of the Su family and lose my father's face. "After saying a blessing, it can be regarded as a greeting to the other concubines.

Su Meng was choked by her words for a while, and her cheeks were red with anger, but she couldn't say half a word.

I've been in the palace for a long time, and I've seen a lot, but I'm finally different from others. Before the others came back to their senses, Dong Shaoling opened his mouth: "This sister's small gathering, I really don't know that my sister came to serve, and it was my negligence as a sister." The two fluttering sentences declared sovereignty, and the demeanor of the lord of the harem was fully revealed.

Su Die raised her eyebrows again, this is not easy to deal with, it seems to be this one.

Concubine Dong raised her hand slightly, and said to the kneeling palace maid: "If you go to the Internal Affairs Office, just say that it is my intention, let them rearrange the manpower to come over, and go back quickly." ”

The kneeling palace maid kowtowed and retreated, leaving Su Die alone and standing in front of the pavilion. Su Die sighed quietly, and now it seemed that she couldn't hide.

Sure enough, her brainless sister immediately said: "It's still Sister Dongfei's thoughtfulness, it's just ...... It will take some time for this reassignment to be reassigned, and at this time, there is always a person to serve, and my tea is cold. After that, he glanced at Su Die very provocatively, and was secretly happy that he had won back a game.

Just when everyone thought that Su Die would say another word to fight back against Su Meng, Su Die was slightly blessed and came slowly.

This Luoying Pavilion is indeed a good place, and Su Die has never found it before. In front of the pavilion is a bay of lake, although it is not big, but it is very lively. The willow branches around the lake are fluttering, and the flowers are clustered. The water of the lake is crystal clear, and the fish in the water are full of schools and are very free. If you forget these people in front of you, this is really a good place to drink and write poetry.

Su Die added tea for everyone and quietly retreated aside.

From the moment Su Die entered this pavilion, the atmosphere was a little awkward, He Guiren took a bite of the pastry, coughed, got up slowly, and said apologetically: "Sisters, Qing He contracted some wind cold the day before yesterday and has not recovered. After sitting here for a long time today, I was a little dizzy, so my sister retreated first. ”

Concubine Dong raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Oh? I didn't know that my sister was unwell, but it was difficult for you to get together today. It's just that His Majesty heard that all of us had gathered together, and he had instructed Gonggong Liu to pass the word, and I am afraid that it will be coming. Concubine Dong picked up the teacup and glanced at Su Die lightly.

Qing He was silent for a while, and she had no excuse to leave, so she had to sit down again. After she took her seat, she secretly glanced at Su Die, and when she saw that her expression was as usual, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Since ancient times, you have been in a dilemma, and so has your majesty.

When Yan Che entered the pavilion, Su Die knelt down with everyone and did not look up.

Today, the relationship between the two of them is awkward. said that it had nothing to do with it, but in the end it was a little stumbling, that day's Zhaohua Palace, that day's him, that day's delicate kiss, was always in her heart, lingering. But to say that there is a connection, it is reluctant. He's just like him, he's just kissed her, he's not been lucky. Now even the connection between identities has been broken, and if you say goodbye, it will be a strange place in the future, and there will be no more connections.

Su Die was stunned, not noticing that the tea she added to Yan Che was about to overflow. Concubine Dong sat next to Yan Che, her eyes flashed, and she raised her hand and knocked the teacup to the ground. The sound of the cup falling to the ground was crisp, like thunder in the clear sky, and everyone was shocked.

Su Die looked at the broken teacup and Dong Shaoling's reddened hands, and was stunned for a moment.

Wan Yanche's eyes were surging, and he didn't look at Su Die. grabbed Dong Shaoling's hand and looked at it, and instructed Liu Gonggong to go to Xuan Taiyi quickly, pick up Dong Shaoling, and leave in a hurry.

Before leaving the pavilion, he said in a cold voice: "In the future, without my permission, the sinner girl Su Die will not be allowed to step out of Beiyuan for half a step, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." After speaking, he strode away.

Su Die heard his footsteps drift away, and then looked up. She still held the teapot in her hand, and the heat of the tea lingered nearby, spilling over her brows. Everyone looked at her, trying to capture her grief or sadness. And she has no color in her eyes. squatted calmly, picked up the broken teacups piece by piece, and didn't even notice that he had cut his hand.
