Early in the morning, the sky was not yet bright, it was dark and heavy, the cold wind was biting, and the window paper cut by the branches blown by the wind at night had not yet been patched, and the broken window was blowing in the wind, hitting the face, making people shiver.

There was a bulge on the bed near the window, and the bulge was accompanied by the cold wind, undulating and unmoved.

"Squeak~" The old wooden door made a terrible chirp, and a cold wind blew in a thin girl who looked like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old, with a withered face and no nutritional appearance.

"Oh, little master, you can't sleep like this!" As soon as the little maid came in, she turned on the twitter mode, checked the charcoal burned to ashes in the iron basin, and sighed distressedly.

It was generally cold inside and outside, and the charcoal was extinguished in the middle of the night.

Her name is Mint, she is a little palace maid with no grade in the palace, she was sent to the palace by her father and mother at the age of eight, and now she also has five years of experience as an errand boy.

Qingju, the palace maid sister who was with her, had already found a way out and defected to Concubine Qi, who had a head and face in the palace, and heard that there were five or six taels of silver every month, which was somewhat enviable.

However, although she can't earn money to go home, but fortunately, the current master is a compassionate heart, and treats her very well, although there is nothing to eat and drink well, but it is stronger than the osmanthus in the same village who is scolded and beaten every three or five times, although her master is a constant presence, but he is not favored by the same, and the treatment is not much better than her master, and he is high-spirited and harsh.

The queen is frail and sickly, and she has been in charge of palace affairs for many years, and the imperial concubine is called a Buddhist system, as long as the important concubines on the bright side are treated in place, don't cry in front of the emperor and make trouble for her.

It is common for the treatment to be deducted by half, it is good to have two meals a day, and it is good to have hot dishes and hot meals.

Thinking far, she will have to grab vegetables for her master for a while, this person is not enough, she has to do everything by herself, the master is afraid that he will go out first, and it will be difficult to walk with the palace shoes, she has no time to go to the dumpling room to pick up food and then catch up with the master to go to Jingren Palace.

Mint went straight to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of the quilt, and skillfully and ruthlessly lifted the bulging quilt on the bed, revealing the little man who was shrunk inside.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, I promise you that you want to meet the queen's mother, freshen up and freshen up immediately, we are far away, and it will take an hour to walk."

The little man didn't even open his eyes, and was dragged to sit in front of the bronze mirror and was at his mercy.

Mo Xin inexplicably agreed for almost a year, the more mixed it up, the cooler it became, the two palace maids ran away and no one cared, and the rest was about to climb above her head, she was indifferent, on the contrary, she was quite grateful to this little palace maid who would not leave when she was suffering.

At least this seemingly fierce little palace maid washes her clothes every day, grabs food, fights for moon silver, protects black charcoal, cares about her eating and drinking, afraid that she will get sick, without her, she Mo Xin alone in this half-baked place may not be able to live well, at least better than Chen promised his colleagues who heard a few days ago that he was frozen to death because he was unattended.

It's that the distance to go to the queen's work on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month is too far, and there is no bus or subway, so it is really difficult to wear flowerpot shoes to walk for this pair of feet.

Torture, torture.

Eat and lodging, add a free nanny, pay back the salary, and don't have to do any work, that is, twice a month to clock in and listen to gossip, if possible, you have to work overtime to serve the big leader, but fortunately, the big leader is generally busy, basically every night to go to the senior concubines, that is, many of her bosses to work overtime, and there is a high probability that she will not be able to work overtime.

Anyway, I also eat public food, and if I don't be a demon, it's an iron rice bowl that eats until I am old.

It's that the diet is too monotonous, and you can only get one and a half pounds of pork and two pounds of vegetables every day, only old rice and old tea, not to mention seasonings, not even an egg, let's just say that each palace sends a hen to raise by itself, and the treatment of taking an egg every day is also done.

Pork is very good, but I can't even change an egg for a year! It's really not good, tofu is also made!

No, in order to improve the food, she has to work hard...... It's impossible, you have to work overtime if you are favored by big leaders, it's impossible to work overtime as a worker, it's impossible in this life!

She wants! Blend into the back kitchen!
