Chapter 81: The First Day of the Cold Palace

The first rays of the morning sun rose from under the eaves of the east, and Mosin, who had not slept well all night, crunched with difficulty, and the chirping of birds beckoned to each other outside the window and on the roof.

The water vapor of the cold palace is very heavy, the old quilt given by the guards guarding the gate last night touched the tide, but it was quite warm, although there was a heavy musty smell, but there was better than nothing, the wooden bed under the body was hard, and the diaphragm hurt the buttocks and back, especially the part of the tail vertebrae, and I had to fold the quilt in the middle of the night and press half of it under my body before I fell asleep.

It's March and April, and it's time to get warmer, but the cold palace is worthy of being a cold palace, the cold air above the head drills into the brain, and there is a coolness in the blinking eyelids and struggling to sober up.

Revealing a head outside the quilt, with the help of the morning light, Mo Xinzai carefully observed the current living environment.

The emperor still has the blessing of favoring, did not let her live in a rotten house with a broken roof or leaky air, yesterday was temporarily "invited" by Father-in-law Su to move here, and she was able to find a well-preserved good house for her, which was much better than she imagined, and originally heard that the cold palace was in disrepair, and there were dilapidated collapsed houses everywhere.

But it should be said that the environment of this business trip is the worst she has ever seen, that is, the small hotel next to the station can have a hot water bath, there is not even a simple tea set here, let alone a hot water bath, there is no hot water for you to drink.

As far as the eye can see, in addition to the wooden bed lying down, the top of the dusty silk tent is pulled, it looks like red, it is too old, it has become reddish-brown, and there is a set of tables and chairs, the table is empty, two chairs, one chair is a little crooked, but it can still sit, she tried it last night, as long as she supports it with her feet, she can still use it for a while.

Then, there was a wardrobe next to the bed, and there was only half a candle in it, and a damp fire fold that could not be used, and the rest was gone, just so empty, nothing.

The whole room has to be forty or fifty square meters, in fact, the bedroom and the living room are connected together, but because there is nothing to separate, only the ground and the two walls can be seen to be separated, in short, it looks quite wide, the wind can roll freely here a few back and forth, and the words are echoed, so the bird chirping outside the window is also particularly loud.

One thing to say, if it weren't for the fact that the situation looked a little bleak, the feeling of being woken up by the bird's call in the morning was still pretty good.

I can't sleep anymore, Mo Xin plans to open the map and see what can be used around, when I checked in last night, Father-in-law Su said that there were empty rooms all around her and no one lived in them, and the emperor was extra gracious and didn't let her get together with other women in the cold palace.

In other words, even if it is a cold palace, she is a family of her own.

Because she came suddenly, she couldn't pack her luggage, and she went out of the not too far away door that she couldn't go back for a while and a half, and she still had the same clothes she wore yesterday, so she remembered to bring her cloak before going out, otherwise she would have to die of cold and dare not get out of the bed.

Wrapped in a cloak and opening the door, there is a barren flower bed, the branches are empty and crooked, not big, there are two pieces of about 20 square meters on the left and right, and there is a path leading to the main gate in the middle, because it rains from time to time these days and the sky is not very clear, it is very muddy.

The door was simply connected with a wooden door bolt that was slightly broken from the middle, which was still found by Mo Xin after the moonlight was pulled behind the door by the moonlight after Su Gonggong and his party left.

Opening the door, Mursin bent his neck and clenched his arms and rubbed hard, tightened his cloak and put on his windshield, and rummaged through the rooms on the left and right.

The rooms on both sides looked the same as Mosin's, except for the broken doors and windows, or the roof tiles were broken a little, and the layout was exactly the same in size.

I heard that this cold palace was the place where the concubines of the old dynasty lived in the past, and the ancestor was merciful and did not exterminate the royal ladies of the old dynasty, but left them a way to live, so that they could enjoy their old age here, but they had no freedom and no hope to live.

Later, the concubines died, and there were fewer and fewer people living in this palace, so it was deserted, and later, the concubines who made mistakes in the court would be pulled here, except that they could not get out of the palace gate, and the other palace people would not take care of it much.

There were no good things in the room on the left and right, but there were still a few things that could be used in it, a set of broken tea sets, a small bronze mirror and a mahogany comb, all very dirty, Mo Xin did not dislike it, and took the handkerchief wrapped in his hand and took it away.

This matter of peace with the encounter, she comes and goes, she is familiar!

Finally found a well not far away, but was crushed by a boulder, moved to move, had to give up temporarily, fortunately there is a pond, the water is not deep, but the water is flowing, I don't know where the small stream is flowing slowly on the stone wall, into the pond, the strange thing is that the pond will not overflow, the water level has always been about the ankle position.

After making sure that the water was clean, Mursing washed a few things he found in the room, and when he was done, he thought of something, and ran back into the house with a snort, and dragged out a wooden bucket from behind the door, and the barrel had two hands missing one of its ears, but fortunately the water did not leak.

Mo Xin grabbed a few handfuls of vines, rolled them up and brushed them in the bucket of water, and then put the things he had picked up in them, and put half a bucket of water in front of him, for fear that his clothes would get wet and not have to wear them, so he half held and half dragged the barrel and things all the way back.

The water is used to scrub the house, yesterday it was too late and she could barely sleep alive, if she didn't clean and clean today, where would she sleep, and no longer a person who was a cleanliness addict couldn't bear to sleep in this dusty place, and she had to suffocate her illness if she wasn't sick.

This place, if she gets sick, it's over, don't look at her and the emperor's agreement, but she also punched the emperor, it's fake that the emperor is not angry, otherwise he wouldn't have sent her in overnight while the iron was hot.

If she hangs up before the matter is clear, it is estimated that there will be no big storms, maybe the big boss will lay off employees so quietly, and there will be no lawsuit.

But to be honest, if you can punch the emperor and not die, this life is not in vain, in the future, it is said that if there is a future, at least you have to write this matter into your autobiography and show off to your descendants and grandchildren.

After sacrificing the only handkerchief and moving the water three or four times hard, Mo Xin's "new" room can finally be seen, at least there is a place to sit on the ground, and he will not be covered in ashes.

A busy meal, Mo Xin is too tired, when the little master during this time, she is squeamish, just such a small job, can toss her waist can't straighten, if it weren't for the guest appearance of volunteer work a while ago, now she has to be tired.

His stomach was already grunting with hunger, and he didn't know when the cold palace would be served, it didn't look like someone would deliver food, Mo Xin estimated it, and decided to go to the palace gate in the front yard to take a look, and ask where to get food.

People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. No matter how hard you are, you still have to eat the rice.
