When Zixuan saw Yuan Yiyi asking, she no longer hid it, and she bowed to Yuan Yiyi again.

"Don't hide it from the mother, Zixuan does have something to ask for. Can we say a few separate words? ”

"What can't you say now?" Qingluo was obviously displeased, and asked with a small mouth.

But Yuan Yiyi still smiled at her and motioned for her to go out first. When only the two of them were left in the house, Zixuan Fang continued.

"Niangniang, please save Zixuan!" As he spoke, he asked for another big gift. Yuan Yiyi hurriedly stopped her.

"This palace has already helped you get rid of your sins in Fengluan Palace today, why did you come to ask this palace again?"

"Mother, you don't know. The queen seems to be tolerant and generous in front of her. But after the people, we palace maids and eunuchs are often beaten and scolded. If she is slightly unsatisfactory, her life will be lost. The slave and maid did something wrong today, although the slave and maid were spared at the moment, but after the maids left, the slave and maid would be handed over to the Internal Affairs Office by the queen mother under other excuses. Niangniang, do you know the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It was hell! ……”

The more Zixuan spoke, the more scared she became. His eyes were full of fear. When it comes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I can't help but tremble.

Yuan Yiyi has heard of the Internal Affairs Office, which is to deal with the palace people who make mistakes in the palace. I heard that the cool officials inside were very cruel, and no one could get out alive. Those who come out alive are either crazy or stupid. The horror of torture can be seen.

"But how can this palace save you?"

Yuan Yiyi thought to herself, this is a bit bad to ask the queen directly. What's more, this palace maid named Zixuan has only seen her today. There is no reason to disobey the queen for the sake of a little palace maid.

Seeing Yuan Yiyi asking, Zixuan hurriedly replied, "This is simple. Niangniang has just been promoted to the concubine position, and a few more palace people will be added to the Qiwu Palace. So, just wait a while, and you will receive a roster from the chief eunuch. There will be the names of all the third-class maids and eunuchs in the palace who have not served in the palace. The slave maid has just been removed from Fengluan Palace by the queen mother. So the slave and the maid will also be on the roster. As long as the name of the slave is encircled by the mother at that time, the slave and the maid can serve the mother and the maid. At that time, it will not be very convenient for the queen to move the people in the palace. ”

Zixuan said it clearly, Yuan Yiyi is a smart girl, and she is quite courageous, and she can think of a way to save herself at such a time of crisis.

"Then why does Hongu want to help you, is there any benefit?"

Zixuan pondered for a moment, and then looked outside the door, for fear that someone would eavesdrop. Then gritted his teeth, came to Yuan Yiyi's side, and whispered a few words.

Yuan Yiyi's face changed slightly.

Zixuan continued to kneel, waiting for Yuan Yiyi's answer.

Yuan Yiyi pursed her lips and was silent, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then the palace promises you." ”

"Thank you Concubine Liu! Thank you Concubine Liu! Niangniang's great kindness, Zixuan is toothless and unforgettable! Zixuan was overjoyed, and it was needless to say that she was very grateful.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingluo's voice came from the door.

"Master, the chief eunuch and the prince sent a roster. said that it was for the master to pick a new palace person to come to the Wu Palace. ”

"Got it, tell him in."

Before the eunuch arrived, Yuan Yiyi asked Zixuan to go out first to avoid it.

Sure enough, a father-in-law wearing a navy blue eunuch uniform respectfully entered Yuan Yiyi's room. At this time, Yuan Yiyi was sitting behind the bamboo curtain, and through the bamboo curtain, he could only vaguely see the owner of Qiwu Palace sitting inside. The eunuch who came in did not dare to look up and bowed on his knees.

"Slave Xiao Dezi, please say hello to Concubine Liu."

The person inside whispered, "Get up." I'm tired of my father-in-law for a trip. Qingluo, help this palace bring the booklet. "Xiao Dezi has long heard that the lady of Qiwu Palace is very kind and polite to the people below, and today I saw that it was true. I can't help but feel more good about her.

Carefully handed the roster to the palace maid named Qingluo, and saw her holding the roster into the room. After Liu Concubine took it, she glanced at it casually, and then asked Qingluo to take out the pen and ink.

Liu Concubine dipped in cinnabar-colored ink and randomly circled a few names in the roster. Then he handed it to the green radish beside him without paying much attention.

"Father-in-law De, please send it to the prince again. By the way, thank him for his care for the palace. As she spoke, Qingluo lifted the curtain and came out, just glancing at Concubine Liu's face.

What a young man! Xiao Dezi sighed, but there was a more mature and calm temperament than adults between his eyebrows.

"Oh, the mother is so polite. This is what Xiao Dezi should do. Xiao Dezi was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and took the booklet handed by Qingluo. The names of two palace maids and two eunuchs were circled on it. He carefully tucked it into his sleeve and said goodbye to Concubine Liu.

Qingluo also took him out with him as she had just brought him in, and gave him some reward money when he was about to leave the Wu Palace. said that it was ordered by Concubine Liu.

However, in the evening of this day, the four newcomers entered the Qiwu Palace. One of them is Zixuan. This made Qingluo a little angry. Although his master has a very good temper on weekdays, he doesn't dare to ask about it. There was a trace of sourness in her heart, and she always felt that there were some secrets hidden between that Zixuan and her master. And the master is not going to tell himself at all. Isn't she the palace maid closest to the master? How did the newcomer Zixuan get the master's trust?

She couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, Concubine Liu asked Qingluo to arrange the work of these four people. The master still regards himself as an old man in Qiwu Palace.

"Hey, your name is Zixuan, right?" The four palace people lined up and stood in the courtyard of Qiwu Palace. Qingluo recognized the palace maid named Zixuan at a glance.

Zixuan lowered her head and blessed Qingluo: "Zixuan has seen Sister Qingluo. ”

"Who's your sister! Tell you, don't think that you are great if you have stayed in Fengluan Palace, and be honest with me in the future. Our master has a good heart, but if you dare to do anything wrong, I Qingluo will not let you go! Qingluo crackled and said a lot, but Zixuan just listened sneeringly. It was as if countless arrows had flown into the cotton. Qingluo felt bored, and became more and more angry and didn't fight.

"Sister Qingluo, our master is Zixuan's benefactor, and Zixuan is here to repay her kindness."

"I told you, don't call me sister! Go and sweep the steps at the entrance of Qiwu Palace, I don't want to see you now! ”

"Okay, Sister Qingluo."

"You!"

Before Qingluo could continue to shout, Zixuan slipped away. The other three palace people looked at each other, and they didn't know what the two of them had to do.

In the dead of night, Yuan Yiyi came to the courtyard alone. The clear light of the moon makes the night not dark, but the autumn breeze is cold and bleak. Yuan Yiyi held a bamboo branch in her hand and danced today's sword dance again. Memories poured into my heart like a tidal wave. She thought of her father.
