"The newcomer is called Mu Ge, right?" Mama Zhao, the steward of the Huanyi Bureau, walked in front of Su Qingyan with an unkind expression.

"Yes, it's the slave."

"Look at your appearance, where do you look like a palace maid, go to the lower room and take off all the jewelry on your head, and scrub off all the rouge and gouache on your face."

"Back to Mama, the slave didn't apply rouge gouache."

Mama Zhang's eyebrows were raised high, "I see that your face is like congealed fat and flawless, could it be that you were born like this?" "She has been in the palace for so many years, and she has never seen such an outstanding little palace maid.

"Back to Mama, slaves and maids are indeed born."

"No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loved you so much before. It's a pity that you don't know how to offend Her Royal Highness the Princess. "The slave and maid have already learned that these things are wrong."

Mama Zhao waved her hand, "It doesn't matter what mistakes you made in the past, the most important thing is that you have to finish all the work that needs to be done now, do you see the big wooden barrels in front of you?" ”

The slave saw it.

"Well, you have to wash all your dirty clothes today, and if you delay drying, you won't have to have dinner in the evening."

"Yes, slave maid understands." After all, Su Qingyan has been trained in Sujia Village, not to mention washing clothes, even if he goes to the ground to plant seedlings, it is not a problem.

She put her burden in a clean corner, buried her head and began to get busy.

Throughout the day, she kept washing clothes, except for a little soreness in her lower back, she didn't feel too much discomfort.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Su Qingyan washed the last piece of dirty clothes and threw it into the empty wooden barrel, supported his waist, and went to the place where the people were eating.

Compared with the Prince's Palace, the palace maids here are much more mature, and at a glance, they are almost a few years older than Su Qingyan.

"Mu Ge, we left you a steamed bun, it's still hot, hurry up and eat it."

"Yes, Mama Zhao is really, letting you do so much work alone, she is obviously bullying you."

"Alas, there are a few palace maids who are not bullied, and they will pass after a while."

This is the first time that Su Qingyan has felt the kindness of the palace maids since he entered the palace for so long.

The eyes of the group of people in front of them were pure and clear, and there was no calculation or cunning at all.

"What are you doing standing stupidly, come over and eat, the steamed buns are going to be cold." A palace maid urged.

Su Qingyan nodded, walked over, and took a big bite on the white-flour steamed bun.

When she was in Daliang, she had never tasted any kind of treasured delicacies, but at this time, a steamed bun was worth all the delicacies in the world.

After filling her stomach, the palace maids took her to the next room to rest, "Mu Ge, look at your body, you must have suffered a lot in the past, let you sleep in this position, lean against the window, and be more comfortable at night." ”

"I just got the help of my sisters when I came here, and I am very grateful, how can I even grab the bed, I sleep the same wherever I sleep."

"It's been a long time since a newcomer has been here in the Huanyi Bureau, so don't be polite to us, rest early after a busy day, there is still a lot of work to do tomorrow."

They showed such enthusiasm, Su Qingyan couldn't shirk it, so she had to agree.

The position against the window was indeed comfortable, and the cool breeze seeped in through the cracks and blew on her cheeks, dispelling all the stuffy breath.

Su Qingyan had a rare solid sleep, and suddenly woke up thirsty at night.

She stepped lightly out of bed, ready to go to the yard to find some water to drink, but before she could find the kettle, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"See Concubine Su."

"Zheng Changliu? How did you end up here?

"Master Su didn't worry about Concubine Su, so he specially asked his subordinates to come over to visit."

Su Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm fine, everyone here takes good care of me." You go back and tell Radiant not to worry. ”

"Yes, today Su Ye specially came to the Huanyi Bureau, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he rewarded all the subordinates with gold and silver treasures, and in the name of Pei Yifei, he told them to take care of you. Concubine Su should stay here in peace during this time, no one should dare to bully you. ”

It turned out that the group of palace maids were so kind to her because Tianhui had paved the way for her in advance.

"I see, you also have to protect Radiant and don't let him get hurt in any way."

"Concubine Su, don't worry, this is what her subordinates should do."

"Well, I have to go back and rest, so you should leave quickly."

Zheng Changliu disappeared into the courtyard in the blink of an eye, Su Qingyan stood in place for a while, found clean water and poured it several times, and then returned to the room and continued to sleep peacefully.

No matter why the palace maids are considerate to her, at least there is no need to worry about this period in the Huanyi Bureau, and she and her children should be able to spend a few days of peace.

Early the next morning, a group of palace maids began their busy cleaning work again.

Today, Mama Zhao assigned Su Qingyan's dirty clothes are still a little more than others, and the palace maids want to help, but they are afraid of offending Mama, so they have to lower their heads one by one and pretend not to see anything.

"Mu Ge, the clothes you washed yesterday were very clean, and you must keep them today, understand?"

"Yes, the slave knows."

"Then keep busy."

Mama Zhang is not young, and the only thing she needs to do every day is to take care of the palace maids under her hands, and drink tea and eat snacks in the room the rest of the time.

Su Qingyan scrubbed his clothes hard, and suddenly found that the one in his hand seemed to be Lu Tianhui's.

She was stunned for a moment, carefully opened her shirt, and sure enough, found a small note in the pocket of the lining.

…… Yaoxin got the news, and he would do it outside the palace two days later, take care of himself, and leave everything to his husband.

Two days later?

It seems that Tianhui has already contacted Mu Yuedan.

She immediately destroyed the note, pretended nothing had happened, and went about washing her clothes.

I don't know what happened to the remaining flint lime, if it didn't get soaked in water, it would still be a deadly threat to them.

I hope that this time God can be on their side as always.

"Master Su, my subordinates have already visited Concubine Su last night, and she seems to be in good shape."

"Well, Qingyan will not feel sorry for herself anytime and anywhere, this is her greatest strength."

Zheng Changliu bowed, "In order to make fireworks for Pei Yiyao before, more than half of the flint lime in the tunnel has been destroyed, and the remaining Yaoxin is still trying to find a way to deal with it." ”

"We don't have much time left, and we have to solve it as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, the chances of digging an underground river in the palace are too low, what if we still can't destroy those flint limes before nightfall tomorrow?"

"Then we can only fight to the death and see if it is us or Pei Yifei who will be killed in the end."

Zheng Changliu's mood is indescribably complicated.

It's shameful enough to accidentally fight a defeated battle, and if you die in the flint lime, you feel aggrieved when you think about it.

"Has Yaoxin informed Mu Yuedan about the flint?"

"Yes, the two of them got in touch outside the city yesterday and have made everything clear."

"Knowing that there will be a worry about his life, Mu Yuedan is still willing to lead the troops to come to help, it seems that I am going to owe him a big favor."

Zheng Changliu said disdainfully: "Where is he helping Su Ye, it is obviously for Concubine Su." ”

"Qingyan and I are husband and wife, no matter who he helps, we have to remember the kindness and find an opportunity to repay it."

"Yes, the subordinates are wrong, Su Ye should not blame." He is really cheap, good-looking, and he has to poke this layer of window paper to do something. But anyone with eyes can see that Mu Yuedan has ill intentions towards Concubine Su, how could Su Ye not know.
