Once you enter the palace, even if you die, you can't leave the palace.

Concubine Rui was busy in her small kitchen, and Gonggong Hai knocked on the wooden door twice.

"Yo, it's you. Come on in. Ruifei had a smile on her face, and there were still a few places of flour and ash on her generous face.

"The minion has disturbed you." Gonggong Hai is very polite, even though Concubine Rui has been snubbed by Emperor Zhao for many years, and everyone else in the palace looks down on her, but Gonggong Hai's gratitude to Concubine Rui has never changed.

"Where are these words? All you have to do is come in. "Concubine Rui treats people kindly, especially when she sees that the person who comes is Gonggong Hai, she is a little more kind.

Gonggong Hai smiled: "The emperor ordered the servants to come to the small kitchen to see if the mother needs help......"

Don't get me wrong, Emperor Zhao is not a warm man. He didn't have much feelings for Concubine Rui, he just accidentally found that a little palace maid in Concubine Rui's palace looked good, and wanted to tease.

Therefore, I sent my father-in-law to find out when Concubine Rui, who was busy making pastries in the small kitchen, would finish it.

This layer of reason, Hai Gonggong will not say.

Concubine Rui Niangniang wholeheartedly made delicious food for that flowery big radish, but who expected that this flowery big radish hooked up with the little palace maid in her palace. Alas, if you say it, it will really anger people.

Grandpa Hai didn't dare to mention this matter, only said that he had come to help on purpose. I rolled up my sleeves and washed my hands in the basin, helping with a pair of people.

The two of them just worked and didn't talk, which felt weird.

Although Gonggong Hai is a eunuch, he used to be a man after all. So he always felt very uncomfortable getting along with Concubine Rui at such a close distance.

So I can only think about what topics will not hurt my muscles and bones, and can pass the time.

"Do you know that Sun Xiunu is also from our place?" Ruifei spoke first.

"Huh?" Father-in-law Hai didn't react for a while.

"Sun Xiunu, which Sun Xiunu?" Gonggong Hai went through all the women surnamed Sun in his mind.

Shaking his head, he asked, "The slave never knew that there were our fellow villagers among the show girls. ”

Concubine Rui sneered and laughed, "Yes, Gonggong Hai, you are very busy on weekdays, where is you as idle as me, and you like to inquire about everything." In addition, there are indeed not many people who know such a little show girl who is not famous. ”

Gonggong Hai was slightly embarrassed, "That's not it, in fact, the slave is also an idler." ”

Concubine Rui covered her mouth and laughed, "Grandpa Hai is really modest. ”

The flour ash of Concubine Duan's palms was stained on her face, and she instantly looked a little sloppy, which did not match her identity as a concubine.

Seeing this, in order to help her maintain the best posture at any time, Gonggong Hai quickly took out his handkerchief and wiped it for Concubine Rui.

"Concubine Rui, don't think the slave is a eunuch's handkerchief, this one is new, and the slave hasn't used it today."

was afraid that Concubine Rui would dislike her handkerchief, so Gonggong Hai felt the need to explain.

It's okay not to explain, but this explanation feels a little wrong.

In addition, there were other palace maids in this small kitchen, and their eyes were cast at the two of them in all directions, and Gonggong Hai was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand, and even the handkerchief fell directly to the ground.

Oh, he's a eunuch, what is he afraid of?

Could it be that the sentence that men and women do not kiss still applies to him?

No, that's just horrible.

Compared with the panic and anxiety of Father-in-law Hai, Concubine Rui is much calmer. She is not afraid of shadows, so what is she afraid of? What's more, Gonggong Hai is still a veritable eunuch. Could it be that someone would rumor about her and a eunuch?

It's just not possible.

Ruifei squatted down lightly and picked up the handkerchief that had fallen to the ground.

Hand it to Grandpa Hai, "Oh, take it." ”

Gonggong Hai's body trembled, he didn't dare to pick it up, and he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Concubine Rui.

Concubine Rui smiled slightly, rolled the handkerchief into her sleeve, and said to Gonggong Hai: "Gonggong Hai, you didn't expect Sun Dixin Xiunu to be our countryman, right?" ”

"Sun Dixin is our countryman?" Gonggong Hai was suddenly surprised, he raised his head and looked at Concubine Rui blankly, "Is it true?" But Sun Xiunu ......"

Yes, Sun Xiunu is dead.

Ruifei's smiling expression became a little heavy, and she nodded solemnly.

"Actually, if you talk about it, I should have seen Sun Xiunu before I entered the palace. She was a little girl with pigtails, and her father was still my father's subordinate. At a Mid-Autumn Festival, my father invited the family to a dinner at his home, so I met her. ”

Ruifei's voice became deeper and deeper as she spoke, "Alas, it's really a shame to say. I only found out today that she entered the palace to be a show girl, and I wanted to go and see her, but I was told by the little eunuch that she had ...... Already dead...... Finish. ”

The voice paused at the word "death", and Grandpa Hai's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Regarding Sun Xiunu's death, he originally only had a little regret. After all, a big girl who is like a flower, just say that it is gone, and whoever says it has to say "It's a pity". But now it's different, now that I know that she is also my fellow countryman, I feel more guilty in my heart, if I immediately called the imperial doctor to take first aid measures, would there still be a glimmer of life.

"Grandpa Hai, you know our customs there. If someone in the family dies, the body must be buried in the hometown. Otherwise, you can't be reincarnated......"

Grandpa Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded again and again. "Yes, yes, yes. This is indeed a custom in our hometown for thousands of years. ”

However, now Sun Xiunu is dead in the palace. According to the rules of the palace, they were buried on the mausoleum mountain. ”

"That's why I'm worried about how sad Sun Xiunu's family must be. The good daughter was sent to the palace, not only did she die without knowing it, but her body could not be transported back. Alas, one can imagine how painful her parents must have been. ”

Gonggong Hai had never seen Concubine Rui like this, she had a deep sadness on her face, and Sun Xiunu's death had a huge impact on her.

She began to pretend that if she died in this red wall and yellow tile one day, her parents would not be able to bring her body back to her hometown for burial.

That means that you can't be reincarnated.

Bitter, bitter for the rest of my life. I have suffered this life, but I can't look forward to the next life.

Maybe that's the fate of most of the women in the harem.

How can there be a good time, and the present world is stable. All the joys, sorrows, and sorrows are just blocked by this high wall, and outsiders don't know about it.
