Chapter 3: What does a real concubine look like?

Chu Xin clenched the basket tightly and wanted to leave with some uneasiness, but was pressed to his knees hard.

"The concubine has arrived!"

It's that harsh and ugly shrill voice again, why is this eunuch's voice so ugly?

Chu Xin couldn't see anything with his head down, he could only hear many footsteps, and heard the voice of the aunt again.

"It's so cold today, what is the concubine Niangniang going out for, if it freezes His Majesty, it will be distressing."

Guifei Niangniang, is it that Zheng Guifei?

"Yi'er felt that the palace was too stuffy, and wanted to come out to have a look, and wanted to see the different scenery in this palace, so she happened to come to the Inner Division."

The tone of this speech is really the same as Xie Ruya's pride, no, this is the real concubine, and then I heard Aunt Cui's peach blossom laughter.

"Niangniang really loves Princess Yi, there is really nothing to see in this inner hall, it is all some charcoal, if it smokes the princess, then what can it be?"

Aunt Cui didn't hear an answer for a long time after she finished speaking, and it took a while to hear the crisp little girl's voice.

"Mother, since Aunt Cui said that the Inner Division Hall is very dirty, then let's not go in, let's go to the Imperial Garden to have a look!"

"Or Yi'er is understanding, then let's walk around outside and go back to the palace, there is a good charcoal fire in the palace, and it will definitely not smoke Yi'er."

"Good!"

I heard the sound of the chariot lifting up again, and felt the hands that were pressed on top of my head move away.

Chu Xin seemed to vaguely see a person standing in front of him, with layers of skirts, so he was deeply blocked in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.

After a long time, it was as if I had said a word and got up.

Chu Xin sniffed his nose and touched the snot that flowed out with his hand, this year's winter is really cold, especially kneeling on the cold ground, winter is really a disliked season!

As soon as he held the charcoal basket on the side tightly in his hand, his eyes were attracted by a little girl poking her head out of the walk.

The girl wore a cute flower bun on both sides, and two jasper hairpins were inserted in her bun, and her little face was pink and tender, and she looked really cute.

Looking at the step that had gradually gone away, Chu Xin realized that this was the treatment of the concubine and the princess, who could sit high on the sedan chair and look down at the kneeling people.

And the princess herself has no decent clothes for a few years, and she has to kneel on the snow, it turns out that this is the difference in identity.

I just wanted to leave with the charcoal that I had begged for after being beaten, but I was stopped by Aunt Cui.

Chu Xin raised his head and looked at her vigilantly.

Aunt Cui smiled gently, then took out a handkerchief from her arms and bent down to wipe the snot that flowed out of Chu Xin.

"If there is no charcoal fire in the cold palace in the future, you can take this handkerchief to Chuxiu Palace to find me, and I will get charcoal for you."

put the handkerchief into the basket again, and gently pushed Chu Xin again, "Go back quickly." ”

She couldn't understand the look in Aunt Cui's eyes, she only knew that Xie Ruya had said not to have too much contact with people, so she hurriedly left with the basket.

Before he arrived at the cold palace, he saw Xie Ruya standing at the door from a distance, it seemed that he should have been standing for a long time, and hurriedly trotted over.

"Came back so late!"

Chu Xin handed the charcoal basket forward, grinning with his teeth, but it seemed to be worth it to get so much charcoal fire after just taking a beating.

"Let's go, hurry up and burn charcoal to keep warm."

Looking at Xie Ruyan's flying look, Chu Xin suddenly felt that the beating on his body didn't hurt at all, because it wouldn't be cold if there was a charcoal fire.

Xie Ruyan took the brazier and lit the fire, there has not been a charcoal fire in the cold palace for a long time, and this little warmth is really unwanted.

In the past, I thought that this charcoal fire would never be used up, but now I can be happy with only a few pieces.

I just wanted to talk to the little girl about the scenery in the past, but I caught a glimpse of the scar on her neck, and her face turned cold all of a sudden.

"Who hit you?"

"Nobody, it's the basket that's too heavy, I accidentally fell!"

Chu Xin hurriedly denied it.

But in the next second, I didn't understand why Xie Ruya's face was so terrible after seeing the handkerchief in the basket, it was really rare to stare at herself with a cold face and not speak, it was so scary.

"There really wasn't anyone hitting me, I accidentally fell, the blue bricks and stones were very slippery, and I fell down accidentally!"

"Where did you get this thing from?"

"That Aunt Cui is a good person, and she asked her to give it to me!"

Knowing that Xie Ruya had misunderstood, Chu Xin hurriedly waved his little hand to explain, but saw that the other party's face was even more ugly.

"If you don't pretend to be a good person in front of you, you're fooled?"

Seeing that Chu Xin was still dumbfounded, Xie Ruyan slapped her head fiercely, this stupid girl is always disobedient!

"Do you remember what I told you, there is no good person in this palace, and you still say that she is a good person, then I will tell you, you can have such a surviving life today, all because of her!"

Chu Xin covered her little head that was hurt, she had been beaten many times today, and her body was really painful.

"You're really stupid, you really don't have a little brain, if it weren't for her, you would be a noble princess, a truly noble princess, you don't need to beg to be beaten for such a little charcoal!"

Xie Ruyan was so angry that she was hot, Mu Wan's daughter was really as stupid as her, and she didn't know if she could live in peace in this life.

"I arrived at the real concubine Niangniang today, there are dozens of palace maids who serve her alone, and they all have to be carried by someone to walk, why are you the concubine different from her at all!"

These words made Xie Ruya suddenly calm down, and she no longer had the emotional appearance of Fang Cai, and her face was full of frustration.

Indeed, Zheng Xiyue is the real concubine, and she is just a down-and-out pheasant.

Xie Ruyan didn't pay attention to the villain who looked at her timidly, she didn't have any strength, she didn't want to say anything more, and went to bed directly

Chu Xin laboriously moved the brazier to the side of the bed, and also lay down on the bed.

It's so cold, I don't like winter at all, my mother died in winter.

Leaned closer to Xie Ruya, touched her warm body, but felt a slight tremble, and faintly heard a thin cry.

It turned out that Xie Ruyan was crying, crying because of what she had just said, and reached out to hug her with some guilt.

When he woke up, Chu Xin took the gong bucket and was about to pour it out, but was stopped by a woman, it was Concubine Li, the woman who lived in her mother's room, and her arrogant and domineering appearance was really disgusting.

"I heard that you went to get a charcoal fire yesterday, and send it to me quickly, you are about to freeze to death!"

Chu Xin didn't want to pay attention to her and turned to leave, but she felt that she was pushed, and the and urine splashed out of the gong bucket when she was pushed like this, and Concubine Li became disgusted.

"I feel cold myself, what can you exchange with me?"

"Don't you want to leave your mother's house, so why don't you get me charcoal, and I'll let you live in it!"

Concubine Li immediately changed her face, there is no carbon fire in this winter, so don't you have to be frozen to death like Queen Mu?

The dignified queen was frozen to death in the cold palace, which is really a joke.

"No need, I'll just live with Xie Ruya."

Chu Xin still didn't want to deal with it.

When Concubine Li heard this, she immediately laughed.

"What's the good, Xie Ruyan is bullying you for being young and ignorant, this is using you as a gunman, you go to get charcoal, you must have been beaten and scolded, right?"

"Aren't you the same? You are also bullying me for my young age now, and let me go and get you charcoal! ”

Chu Xin raised her head and asked, she didn't want to hear anyone say that Xie Ruyan was not good, because now she was the only person around her.

Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, and her eyes rolled.

"Chu Xin, you are still young and don't understand anything, your own things in the palace are to be firmly grasped in your hands, you are a princess, there will always be a chance to get out of the cold palace in the future.

But that Xie Ruya has been abolished, maybe she won't have a chance to go out in this life, she asked you to get charcoal, and she also asked you to pour the gong bucket, just bullying you and making you do things! “

Chu Xin took another step forward with the gong bucket, and Concubine Li took a few steps back.

"You are not allowed to say bad things about Xie Ruyan in front of me, she asked me to get charcoal, I am willing to go, bring charcoal fire to you, don't even think about it!"

"It stinks! Get out of the way! Concubine Li covered her nose and pushed Chu Xin hard, "I kindly told you so much, but you really didn't listen to a word, you really don't know the hearts of good people!" ”

Chu Xin fell to the ground unsteadily, and the feces and urine in the bucket were swept out and splashed all over, and the stench was unpleasant.

"I'm here today, if you don't take charcoal to honor me for a day, I'll block you every day, I see how many clothes you can change in winter!"

Chu Xin was lying on the ground covered with feces and urine, he was really weak, and he couldn't get up no matter how he struggled.

After Concubine Li scolded and left, she struggled to get up, shook the dirt on her clothes and went back.

may be because his body is too smelly, and he was reprimanded by Xie Ruya covering his nose as soon as he went back.

"You can't do anything well, why is it like falling into it if you go to pour a bucket!"

Chu Xin sniffed the smell on his body, "I just ran into a dog that was eating!" ”

Xie Ruyan said coolly, "Is there still a dog in this cold palace, I have been in this palace for so many years, but I really haven't seen it." Tell the dog which house this palace is, and be sure to pick up this dog skin and stew dog meat to eat! ”

Chu Xin tilted his head and thought for a while, a little incomprehensible.

"This dog has eaten, why do you want to eat dog meat?"

Xie Ruya sneered, and took off all the clothes on Chu Xin's body very rudely.

"How can you understand that if a dog wants to eat, it is because there is no choice, and if a person eats a dog, then it will really realize its value, because the extreme smell is fragrant!"

There was no charcoal fire left in the cold palace to boil hot water for a bath, Xie Ruyan boiled a pot of hot water with silver bone charcoal, wiped Chu Xin's body, and then stuffed the person into the quilt and fell asleep naked.

Chu Xin was also in a daze, feeling a little chilly on his body, and subconsciously wanted to lean over to Xie Ruya's position next to him, but this was a failure.

Stretched out his little hand and touched the side, the bed over there was cold, as if no one had ever come up to sleep.

Chu Xin woke up suddenly, got up with his clothes on his face, and went out cautiously.

In the dark night, I carefully groped my way forward, and I was flustered, the only person I could trust after my mother died was Xie Ruya, could it be that even ...

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of him, is there any treasure in this cold palace that is worth stealing?

Chu Xin hurriedly followed the black shadow, but found that he had gone to the house where his mother lived, remembering the extremely faint candlelight, and saw that the black shadow was Xie Ruya.

Seeing Xie Ruyan looking around with her hands and feet tied, she took a stick and stuck it on the door, squatted on the ground and lit the fire and put it in the pile of grass ash and dead grass at her feet.

He put the charcoal in the pot, and then covered it with dry grass, and bursts of green smoke came out of the pot.

Chu Xin covered his mouth vigorously, afraid of making any sound.

Then he put the brazier through the window into the room, and then closed the window again.
