Chapter 12: The Trap
A pair of plain porcelain lotus lamps are placed on the small table placed against the west wall in the bright room, which illuminates the room.
Mother Yang was crooked on the brocade couch talking to the strange middle-aged woman.
There was a mat on the foot, and the little maid Ah Bi sat on the mat and took a beauty fist to beat Yang's mother's legs.
Yu Yu went in, first bowed to Mother Yang with a smile, and then looked at the middle-aged woman next to her, and found that the middle-aged woman was very strange, with a sallow complexion, small eyes and a nose, and a long chin sticking out, always looking like she was arrogant to everyone.
She saw that although the middle-aged woman was raw, the red chrysanthemum hairpin on her hair was bright and dangling, and the dresses on her body were all brand new brocade, so she knew that she was a decent mother, so her attitude was very respectful.
Mother Yang said with a smile: "Yuyu, this is the female doctor of the princess!" ”
She put the accent on the word "princess" to remind Yuyu that the female doctor Ma was a close confidant of the princess.
Yu Yu understood and hurriedly curtsied.
Female Doctor Ma had a somewhat arrogant attitude, lifting her chin that was longer than the average person, and looking Yu Yu up and down with a pair of sharp eyes, she had no intention of returning the gift.
She saw that this little maid was about fourteen or fifteen years old, not very old, but she was born stunningly, and her body was beautiful, she couldn't help but smile secretly, and said in her heart: The princess is really smart, any little maid in this Lingxiao Courtyard is so beautiful, and when Lin Jia knows the situation, it is strange not to be hollowed out by these fox spirits!
Mother Yang naturally knew the details of the female doctor Ma, but she didn't know it, and said with a smile: "Yuyu, you take the female doctor Ma to take the water wattle and water lotus to see the injuries!" ”
Yu Yu replied "yes" with a smile, star-like eyes looked at the female doctor Ma, smiled slightly, and waited for the female doctor Ma.
Lady Doctor Ma sat there with her eyelids down, not in a hurry.
She thought about it, looked at Yu Yu with a smile, and asked, "You were just waiting for the second son?" ”
Yu Yu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Exactly." ”
Yu Yu believes that "reaching out and not smiling people", she has never smiled or spoke, and she is born sweet, so even if she is as picky as a horse female doctor, she can't find anything wrong.
Female Doctor Ma pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How is the second son?" ”
Yu Yu's eyes fluttered, glanced at Mother Yang, and saw that Mother Yang shook her head invisibly, so she said: "The slave maid sent dinner to the second son, and she has been waiting under the corridor, but she has never seen the second son." ”
Her words were useless, but she didn't confide in any useful information for the horse female doctor.
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Doctor Ma didn't ask any more, and raised her head and said, "It's too late, let's go to Lingxiao Courtyard!" ”
Yu Yu replied respectfully "yes", and turned sideways to ask the female doctor Ma to come out.
It was late at night.
Lights were lit all over the palace, and lanterns were everywhere, illuminating the whole palace as if it were day.
Ah Chi was lighting the road in front with a lantern, and Yu Yu carried the medicine box of the female doctor Ma, leading the female doctor Ma out of Cuiweiju and walking along the path to Lingxiao Courtyard.
The lights in the Lingxiao courtyard were bright, but it was very quiet, and the door was hidden, and it opened with a slight push.
Yu Yu and his party entered the Lingxiao Courtyard.
After bypassing the big shadow wall, Yu Yu looked up and saw that although the Lingxiao Courtyard was brightly lit, there was no one there, so she knew that the second-class maids such as the brocade curtain and red leaves had already returned to the side courtyard where they lived, and Xiuyun and Vanilla naturally did not come to serve the water wattles and water lotuses who had already made enemies, and they were afraid that they would also hide and be idle.
She directly led Female Doctor Ma and Ah Chi to the west wing where Shui Jing and Shui Lian lived, and raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Qingcha? ”
There was a sound of footsteps inside, and the door opened with a "squeak", and Qingcha greeted him with a surprised face: "Yuyu, you're back!" ”
Yu Yu hurriedly took Qingcha's hand and slowly moved to the side, and introduced with a smile: "This is the female doctor Ma next to the princess, who came to see the injuries of the two sisters Shui Jing and Shui Lian!" ”
Qingcha glanced at the female doctor Ma a little shyly, and saw that she was really strange, so she didn't dare to look at it anymore, and lowered her head and said: "The two sisters Shuilian and Shuijing woke up once, I fed them some warm water, and now they are asleep again!" ”
Doctor Ma advanced to the north dark, picked up the clothes on Shui Jing's body, looked at the wound at random, and then took a white porcelain box from the medicine box and handed it to Yu Yu: "Clean the wound with soju every day, apply it to the wound, three times a day, don't bandage, cover the void with a veil, and don't stick to the bedding!" ”
Shui Xuan woke up, and in a daze, she knew that it was the female doctor who came to see her, and hurriedly muttered thanks.
Yu Yu saw that Lady Doctor Ma had already seen Shui Jing, and hurriedly said: "Lady Doctor Ma, Sister Shui Lian is in the south dark, and the slave maid has accompanied you——"
"No need!" Female Doctor Ma rolled her eyes impatiently, "Zuo is just the same as Shuilian, both butts have been opened and flowered, what is there to see?" Apply this box of medicine too! ”
After that, she looked at Yu Yu: "I'm going back!" ”
Qingcha hurriedly said: "Then I'll send the female doctor out!" ”
The female doctor Ma saw that Qingcha was stupid, so she only looked at Yu Yu.
Yu Yu is a perceptive one, and immediately smiled and groaned: "Female doctor, wait a minute!" ”
She leaned into Shui Jing's ear and whispered, "Sister Shui Jing, I have to pay for the medical expenses and medicine fees ......of the female doctor Ma."
Shui Xuan's tears flowed out, and he closed his eyes and took off the lotus-patterned silver bracelet on his wrist, and handed it to Yu Yu, his voice was weak: "Hemp...... Excuse me......"
She often bullied these little maids, but she didn't expect that the last person to help her was Yu Yu, who was often mistreated by her. But think about it, among these maids, there are also top jade gardenias, who are not small......
Yu Yu gave the jade bracelet to the female doctor Ma, and sent the female doctor Ma out with a slight smile.
Female Doctor Ma followed Ah Chi out of Lingxiao Courtyard, and after walking a few steps, she looked back again, and found that Yu Yu was still standing at the door to see her and Ah Chi leave, so she thought in her heart: Among these maids in Lingxiao Courtyard, this maid is not ordinary, I have to inquire about her details, find an opportunity to talk to the princess, and see if I can buy her......
Back in the west wing, Yu Yu took the tea, cleaned the wounds of the water lotus and the water wattle with soju, and smeared the ointment given by the female doctor Ma.
Because they were afraid that the water lotus water wattle would call people at night, Yu Yu and Qingcha did not leave this night, and the two moved the bunk over, and squeezed on the bamboo couch in front of the water water wattle window and slept all night.
Early the next morning, Yu Yu and Qingcha got up early, washed up and went to clean Lingxiao Courtyard together.
After finishing the work, the two took hot water together, and while they didn't come over, they quietly went back to the small attic of Yu Yu in the small courtyard to take a bath in turn, and went to the big kitchen to get breakfast and sent it to Lingxiao Courtyard.
At this time, Xiuyun and Vanilla also came over.
After they had set up the meal, the four second-class maids of the brocade curtain, the red leaves, Shumei and the graceful came over lazily and sat in the east wing and began to have breakfast.
Taking advantage of the red leaves for breakfast, Yu Yu gathered Qingcha, Xiuyun and Vanilla together, and quietly proposed: "Every day, the four of us will take the meal together and deliver the food box together, it's quite troublesome, I have an idea, is it feasible for you to listen to it, okay?" ”
Qingcha is looking at the jade gardenia horse, naturally there is no objection, Xiuyun has always had no idea, vanilla has always been reasonable, and the three of them nodded.
Yu Yu smiled and said slightly: "In the future, Qingcha and I will be responsible for taking the rice, vanilla, you and Xiuyun will be responsible for sending the used cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks back, okay?" ”
Vanilla thought about it and thought it was feasible, so she agreed.
After the red leaves and they had breakfast, they had their own herbs and Xiuyun to clean up, and the jade gardenia and Qingcha took breakfast comfortably, and then took the porridge left for the water wattle and the water lotus to go to the west wing, and served the water wattle and the water lotus with some porridge.
Yu Yu has a strong sense of responsibility, thinking that since he has taken care of the water lotus and the water lotus, he will be a good person to the end, and it is good to fall into personal favors, so he and Qingcha took a needlework dustpan over, and quietly sat on the bamboo couch in the water wattle room, while guarding the water lotus and water lotus, while doing needlework, it is cheap.
Yesterday every Friday, Lin Tao, the king of the county, rested in Princess Li's room for the night, and left after breakfast in the morning.
Throughout the morning, Princess Li was radiant and in good spirits.
Although the prince has a lot of favorites and concubines, no matter what she says, she is the concubine and the mistress of this Xingping County palace, no matter how favored other women are, they can't get past her!
She held the leaf card in her hand, leaned lazily on the brocade pillow and leaned on the carved couch of yellow rosewood, and said softly: "Five! ”
This lazy appearance of the new grace was so angry that Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Han and Aunt Ding, who were only angry and played the leaf card with her, had a smile on their faces and hatred in their hearts.
Mrs. Xu is the only one among the many concubines who gave birth to an heir for the prince, so she finally has some face here in Princess Li, and after sorting out the leaf card in her hand, she smiled coquettishly: "Hu! ”
After that, she put down the leaf card in her hand, spread it out for everyone to see, and said with a smile: "I won, you guys quickly take out the silver ticket!" ”
Princess Li glanced at Mrs. Xu and lazily put down the leaf card in her hand.
Mrs. Xu has always been a little domineering, but for the sake of Mrs. Xu who had teamed up with her to deal with the Jiang family, she didn't want to move Mrs. Xu for the time being.
After a few more rounds, Mrs. Han saw Princess Li covering her mouth and yawning, and hurriedly proposed: "I'm a little tired, let's find another chance to fight!" ”
The crowd dispersed for a while.
Princess Li was sitting crookedly on the couch, and the little maid Xing'er walked in: "Princess, the female doctor Ma asks to see you!" ”
"Let her in!" Princess Li said lazily.
Female Doctor Ma soon walked in, stood aside respectfully after bowing, and said in a low voice: "Princess, Shui Lian and Shui Jing are quite seriously injured, and now a third-class little maid named Yu Yu is waiting for them in Lingxiao Courtyard. ”
Princess Li glanced at her and did not speak.
Female Doctor Ma understood and continued: "The Yang family seems to value this Jade Gardenia very much, and called Cui Weiju to serve the second child; The slave and maid looked at it coldly, this maid was born very well, and her temperament was stable, but she was a good one! ”
Princess Li glanced at her painted nails, and her voice was calm: "Have you inquired about her background?" ”
Female Doctor Ma hurriedly said: "Inquire, it was sent by the Jin family from Beizhuang outside the city!" ”
Princess Li sat up straight and looked at Female Doctor Ma: "You go to find Xiaoyun to get some silver, try it with Xiaoen Xiaohui first, and see if you can get over!" ”
She was upright and her voice was cold: "Seeing that the second child is about to turn sixteen years old, he can be regarded as the eldest is not small, it is time to know the personnel, and sooner or later I have to arrange a girl for him to sleep!" ”
Female Doctor Ma approached Princess Li with a smile: "Princess, Lin Jia's body is already at the end of the crossbow, and it is not in vain that we have spent so much effort." The color is a bone-scraping steel knife, I don't believe that Lin Jia's blood and qi are just not set. If we can pull this maid over, we can add more force and completely destroy Lin Jia......"
Princess Li smiled slightly: "Don't be too slow, now Your Majesty has no children, listen to the news of Concubine An, Your Majesty is checking the clan!" ”
Female Doctor Ma replied respectfully, "Yes".
