Chapter 37 - The Attic on the Water

The smile on her face faded slightly, her eyes were full of vigilance, and while squatting slightly at her, she saluted slightly, and said softly: "That's Mama Liu exalted me, you and I are the same, just a little palace maid in Cining Palace, it's just that I have the honor to work beside the overseer."

There's nothing to spoil or spoil. ”

Jia'er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled back, "Since the girl thinks the slave is offended, the slave and maid will not bother much." ”

She nodded, looking at Jia'er's back slowly leaving, there was always an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Are you thinking too much?

Wouldn't it be bad to keep dismissing other people's kindness in vain?

Her curled eyelashes pressed downward, leaving her eyes with nothing but the white of the silver coat beside the embroidered shoes.

Mo Rui stood in the wind for a long time, until dusk completely came, and the winter sun completely fell on the sky of the imperial city, and her hands and feet were cold to the end, and then she went back to the house in a huff.

Mo Rui sat in the courtyard like this and waited for a few days, and she didn't know whether she was waiting for Qi Wuyu or Mama Liu.

Finally, two days before her brother was about to enter the palace, she waited for Mama Liu.

"Ouch girl, Lord Overseer has ordered the old slave to rectify the atmosphere of the palace maids in the Imperial Garden these days. Your Majesty's illness is also getting better, isn't this going to welcome the son of the Tang family into the palace? It's all too busy at the other end of the garden. Mama Liu's face was full of joyful smiles, and she pulled Mo Rui to sit on the soft floor in the ear room.

Mo Rui's uneasy heart for the past few days finally got a little calm, "It's good that Mama Liu can still remember me, I thought that Mama wouldn't come in the future......"

She was still thinking about it a few nights ago, and she always felt that after Qi Wuyu knew that she had deceived him, she replaced Mama Liu.

Fortunately, it didn't change.

Mama Liu held her hand and never let go, "Ouch, how can I be." Old slave, I forgot whom, I can't forget our Miss Mo, besides. ”

She paused and looked at Mo Rui mysteriously, "Besides, even if the old slave accidentally forgets it for a while, our overseer will always think about it." ”

Mo Rui was stunned, her pale pink cherry lips were slightly open, very cute.

"The Lord Overseer has ordered the old slave to give the girl a job to be idle in the palace." Mama said as she gently patted the back of her hand with her hand.

She listened silently, smiling and not speaking.

"The old slave thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was most appropriate for you to go to Baiyuan Garden to be a flower maid.

This time, as long as the female officer of the Hundred Gardens is responsible for the work of transporting flowers and plants with the Imperial Garden on weekdays, she will be very idle, and she will not tire you.

These two comes, Baihuayuan is very close to Cining Palace, it is very convenient to come and go, even if you are in Cining Palace, those minions will come to you in a hurry.

Naturally, Your Majesty will not find out about you soon, and you will have plenty of time to prepare for Your Majesty's affairs in the future.

What does the girl think? ”

Mo Rui could hear every word very clearly.

She knows the work of the female official of the Hundred Gardens, she is very idle, and she can go to the Imperial Garden to walk around, so that she can help her brother in a few days.

There is another point, she will be able to sleep in the flower room of the Hundred Gardens in the future, and she will not have to sleep in the same room with Qi Wuyu.

One yard for service and one yard for sleep, if the two can be distinguished, it is the best choice for her.

It seems that Qi Wuyu really remembers what he said in the public opinion room last time.

A smile unconsciously climbed up her cheeks, about to spread to the roots of her ears, "Excellent, excellent, the female officer of the Hundred Gardens is the most suitable position."

When are we going? ”

"Girl, don't worry, these days, Lord Overseer has special permission, and orders me to take you to the hundred gardens to see the world first, and then you can be dispatched there in a few days."

"What about the Overseer? Busy lately? It's been a long time since I've seen him return to Cining Palace. She asked softly, tentatively.

Mama Liu thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I heard that these days, there are often some nonsensical cases of murder and arson in the mansions of those high-ranking officials and nobles outside the womb, and the overseer should be busy with this matter." ”

She nodded.

The two of them chatted a few more words in the ear room.

"Mama, tomorrow morning, I will go with you to the Imperial Garden to see the flowers."

Mo Rui made up her mind and pulled Mama to ask.

"In the past few days, the son of the Tang family has entered the palace to accompany His Majesty to practice martial arts, and the imperial garden has deliberately repaired the water pavilion on the Bihu Lake for martial arts.

She held Mama's hand, and her voice was soft, "It's okay, it's okay, let's go back when there are fewer people~ How about evening?" ”

As she spoke, she carried her grandmother into the yard and came to the backyard door.

Mama Liu couldn't resist the delicate little girl in front of her, "Okay, okay, the old slave will pick you up tomorrow." ”

Mo Rui was satisfied and let Mama Liu leave.

She clenched her fist with one hand and lightly hammered it on her palm, her small mouth crooked, "This should be okay, right?" ”

This night, Mo Rui freshened up early and lay on the Luohan bed, looking forward to the arrival of the next day.

Inside the dormitory, the silver filigree carbon in the copper stove was burned red, and as time passed, the light gradually faded and a few wisps of cloud-like green smoke were spewed.

The next day, the weather was surprisingly good, and when the snow melted, the morning sun was already warm, and the sun rose in the east, and the sunlight penetrated through the paper window into the dormitory, filling the whole room with a warm smell.

Mo Rui got up early to arrange everything until the evening, and she walked to the imperial garden with Mama Liu in her arms.

At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the cold wind still stirred the flowers and trees in this imperial garden that had long since fallen and withered.

She tightened her shirt tightly, staring intently at the lonely water loft above the frozen blue lake in the Imperial Garden.

The whole pavilion is made of red lacquered wood, because of the heavy snow, there has been no one for a long time, and the whole Qiongtai attic covered with wind and snow is blown by the cold wind on the ice, which seems to be even more shaky in her heart.

"Mama, you said that Your Majesty and Tang Gongzi will practice martial arts on top in a few days, is this safe?" She had a faint premonition in her heart.

Mama Liu followed her line of sight, and then looked at the worry on her eyebrows, and for a while she didn't know if she was worried about His Majesty or Tang Gongzi.

"This water pavilion has been around for hundreds of years, nothing bad has ever happened, and our imperial concubine often likes to practice dancing on it before her death, and now I think of it, as if the dancing posture is still in front of me." Mama said, her eyes twinkled like stars.

Mo Rui gently held her and did not speak.

Mama Liu came to her senses and pulled Mo Rui to the edge of the Bihu Lake, explaining to her the types of flowers and trees in the Imperial Garden and the preferences of the masters.
