Princess Yuyao took off her outer clothes, only wore a small jacket, and climbed onto the kang to play with the second prince. Bayi Chinese 乄. The eldest prince also wanted to go up, but he felt that doing so would lose his dignity as a brother.

The children's noisy bodies were sweating, so they changed their clothes and wiped their sweat, and sent them back one by one to settle down, Xie Ning also took off the hairpin ring, and leaned on the side of the bed to read after washing.

To be exact, she was looking at the roster.

There are so many people in the palace, but Xie Ning can't even name the people in the Yong'an Palace. Out of Yong'an Palace, even fewer of those palace maids and eunuchs can recognize.

I really don't know if I don't turn over this roster, there are so many people in the palace.

It is best to discuss these things with Fang Shanggong, but Fang Shanggong's body can't stand up, and it is not appropriate to call her over at night.

There was the sound of someone walking outside, Shainin covered the booklet and put on his shoes on the ground.

The palace was very quiet at night, as quiet as an empty city. Xie Ning could hear the emperor's footsteps, the movement was different from others, she would never hear it wrong.

As soon as he put on his shoes, he didn't have time to greet him out, and the emperor had already come in. The big coat outside had been untied at the door, and the emperor was wearing a dark red robe with dark trim. The emperor usually doesn't like bright colors, and always feels that it is unstable, that is, he can make an exception during the New Year.

The emperor held Xie Ning's hand and didn't let her salute, and asked softly, "Are the children sleeping?" I told you that you don't have to stay up all night and wait. I can't take care of the hour when I'm busy, so I may have rested in the Changning Palace. ”

Xie Ning didn't believe it.

The emperor has come over every day these days, and he just took a nap in the Changning Palace. In fact, Xie Ning wanted to tell the emperor that it was so cold, and the emperor really didn't have to go back and rush over late at night. What's not worth it if you catch a cold when the wind blows?

"What are you doing in the house?"

"Look at the roster book." Xie Ning said with a smile: "There are many people's original names recorded on it, and they were not changed after entering the palace. The concubines have only read a few pages, and there are already five or six people who come to Di and Zhaodi, and there are a lot of prosperous wealth and prosperous fortune. ”

The emperor nodded: "The names of the people's homes are like this, right?" ”

"Almost. It used to be the same in my hometown, and many girls didn't have names, and the eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl screamed. If the son was better, he wouldn't be as indiscriminate as the girl's family. ”

Xie Ning asked people to bring a bowl of soup, which was specially left for the emperor, the round mushrooms and chicken in it were almost boiled, and they were not greasy to drink, but also very nourishing. Xie Ning's background is not too rich, and she is not as extravagant as bird's nest shark fin, she thinks that what her aunt said is very right, people can't eat too finely.

The emperor drank the soup, Qinghe packed up the bowl and went out, the hot water had been brought in, and Qingzhu stood aside with a hot handkerchief.

When the emperor arrived at Xie Ning, Bai Hongqi would not usually go into the house to serve, and Xie Ning led the palace maids to do all the work. She took off her thick clothes outside at this moment, and the emperor asked her to sit on the bed honestly.

Qingzhu's eyes flickered when she handed over the handkerchief, and the emperor reached out to take the handkerchief, but she didn't know what was going on, so she retracted her hand at once, and the emperor didn't grasp it firmly, and the handkerchief fell into the copper basin with a snap, splashing a lot of water.

Qing Yan hurriedly knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave is guilty. ”

The emperor wasn't angry, just waved her down.

Qingzhu knelt there and raised her face, and a few drops of water were splashed on her face, looking at the sparkle under the lamp.

Shainin had already gotten out of bed and came over.

She instructed Qingzhu: "Quickly bring the water out, let people come in and wipe the ground." Then untie the placket for the emperor and take off the wet robe.

Biaozhu got up slowly, took the water and dragged it out step by step.

When Qinghe came back, he saw water splashing on the ground, and he didn't ask much, but just called someone to come in and clean up and serve the master to sleep. and took away the clothes of his master that he had worn during the day. After finishing the matter, he called Qingzhu to him.

Qingzhu's face was pale, one foot stepped into the threshold, but the other foot was still outside the door, and the posture was like a frightened rabbit that was ready to run away.

Qinghe said in a deep voice: "You have learned all the rules in vain? What kind of system is it to cross the threshold like this? In. ”

After Qingzhu came in, she lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "It's my fault, I didn't take the handkerchief just now, and the water splashed out." ”

"Really?" Qinghe's voice couldn't hear joy and anger: "You are also fateful, the emperor is not a man here with the master, and the master is generous." If you want to change to another place, the master will not beat you or scold you, so let you stand outside for half a night and wake up this day, and see that you will not die of freezing. ”

Qingzhu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's all the master's generosity." My sister forgive me this time, I will be extra careful when I am on an errand next time, and I will never go wrong again. ”

Qinghe walked up to her and raised her hand to twist her face.

Qingzhu was startled, but she didn't dare to resist.

"Sister Qinghe?"

Although there was only one light in the house, Qinghe still saw that she had grease powder on her face and drew her eyebrows. At night, the hair is still neatly combed, with two new style gauze palace flowers and two silver hairpins.

During the New Year, the rules in the palace are not so strict, and the palace maids are usually not allowed to wear makeup, and no one takes this seriously during the New Year.

But Qinghe and the palace maids who serve their masters and little masters every day rarely wear makeup. This is the usual rule of Fang Shang Palace, in front of the emperor, you must be steady and not frivolous, not to mention that there is a little master in Yong'an Palace, what should you do if you smoke the little master with fat powder? What should I do if the little master touches and ties it with the ornament?

Qingzhu's eyes dodged, and she stammered a little and said, "Sister, sister? ”

Qinghe slowly let go of his hand.

Her heart was gradually filled with anger, and at the same time she felt very sour, and she was betrayed.

The emperor is heroic, and that's not all. The emperor also represents the supreme power and wealth in the world.

Qingzhu has confused thoughts, and Qinghe doesn't think it's strange. Not to mention those concubines and maidens in this palace, but the palace maids, who has never dreamed, thinking that one day they can climb onto the dragon bed?

But Qingzhu not only has this kind of delusion, she really does things. Dress up more enchantingly and make some movement in front of the emperor...... Maybe the emperor has taken a fancy to it, so won't it be a step to the sky? Since then, he has turned over and become a master, and he is no longer a slave and maid who is allowed to be followed.

But she didn't want to think about where her good life came from. The concubine has always treated the people around her well, never scolded and humiliated, and never deducted their monthly expenses. There are more or less of these things in other palaces, but they don't have them in Yong'an Palace. Does Qingzhu repay the grace of the concubine's master like this?

Qinghe didn't say a word, and Qingzhu was still holding on silently. But the room was as silent as death, obviously it was not hot, but Qingzhu's back was full of sweat. After a while, she finally couldn't hold it anymore, knelt down with a plop, hugged Qinghe's legs and cried: "Sister, good sister." Leave me alone. I was confused for a while, I really didn't mean it just now, and I didn't dare to splash the emperor with a gut......"

"I believe it." Qinghe said slowly: "I believe that you will not dare to splash water on the emperor if you have a gut." But you are dressed and dressed...... Look at your rouge, this is not ordinary rouge, right? The colors are so beautiful. ”

Qingzhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her lips dry.

"I look at this rouge elephant that the master used to use. By the way, a new batch was sent a year ago, and the old ones were replaced. You're using the old box that your master used to use, right? "Can this be called a moment of confusion?

This is simply deliberate, and he wants to use the light of the master to step on the master's momentum and pick it up to the emperor.

Qinghe has already made up her mind.

Qingzhu must not stay any longer.

Qingzhu cried and communicated, she was really scared now.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about what to do if it didn't work out, but she hadn't thought about it too seriously. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she was the best age, she was not as beautiful as the concubine, but after all, the concubine had given birth to a child, how could she be so fresh? Don't people say that men love freshness?

All she was thinking about was how she would behave well if the emperor took a fancy to her. She even thought about what rank the emperor might give her. Isn't Concubine Jin from the palace? She just gave birth to a sick and crooked daughter, and now she is also the head of the first palace, the concubine of the Ba Jing. I may be even better than her in the future......

"Sister, good sister, you spare this time, I won't dare in the future. I will serve well in the future, and serve my master wholeheartedly, if I have another thought, so that I will not die well when the sky thunders and splits......"

Qingzhu was afraid of saying anything, incoherently, and tears washed away the fat powder.

Qinghe usually takes care of one or two of these palace maids, but there are some things she can't bear.

Just like this matter in front of him, Qinghe couldn't bear it.

She has been in the palace for a long time, Qingzhu and they are in front of her every day, Qinghe still knows a little about her, and she can see at a glance that her current words are not sincere at all, just to intercede, no matter how good she says, it is useless, as soon as she turns her head and does not wait to wipe away her tears, she will forget these gambling vows, and her ambitions and delusions will not be dispelled.

Two powerful middle-aged women came in, and the two of them were very skillful in dragging Qingzhu up from the ground, one twisting her arm from behind, and the other gagged her.

Qinghe instructed them: "Qingzhu didn't close the window tightly when she slept tonight, and she caught a cold." There is a little master in Yong'an Palace, she has to move out, otherwise no one can afford to give her illness to the little master. ”

Qingzhu whined in her throat and kicked her feet indiscriminately.

It wasn't the first day she entered the palace, and as soon as she heard this, she knew what Qinghe was going to do with her.

It would have been fine if she had been beaten and punished, but now it was her life. As soon as she gets sick, she moves out again, and what awaits her is the last report of "illness", and she is afraid that she will not even have a place to be buried.
