Zhao Yu took the chilblain cream given to her by Bai Yu back to the house, put the chilblain cream under the pillow, and picked up the old clothes of the palace people on the lotus boat case and began to sew them. Bing Tao saw Zhao Yu coming back, and was in a hurry to go to duty, so she hurriedly went out, leaving her in the house to accompany Lianzhou.

Lianzhou took a small stool and sat beside Zhao Yu around the stove, and also took a needle and thread to sew the shabby parts of the clothes.

Zhao Yu said softly: "If you feel tired, go and rest for a while." ”

Lianzhou sniffed, as if he was about to shed tears again, so he finally suppressed the tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister A, am I particularly useless?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled lightly, and two shallow pear vortices appeared on his lips: "Why do you say that?" ”

"I entered the palace with Shaoying, she was smart-minded, clever with hands and feet, and was soon selected to serve in front of His Highness, and I could only stay at the Huanyi place; She went to the palace as a concubine, and I was still in the Huanyi place. All along, she was taking care of me, and I thought she would be reluctant for me to continue to stay at the Huanyi place and endure hardships, and would take me out with her. Lianzhou drooped her eyelids, and her slender eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes: "But I'm too useless, she would rather go to the palace alone than take me." ”

"If she takes me and we take care of each other, maybe she won't die......" Thinking of this, Lianzhou became more and more sad.

Zhao Yu's gaze fell quietly on Lianzhou's face.

"How are you doing at the Raccoon Clothes?"

Lianzhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems that there is nothing particularly bad." ”

"Yes, we are humble and like a speck of dust in Miyagi. In the raccoon, there is no half splash in the clothes for decades. Zhao Yu said: "Because of this, there are few disputes here, everyone fights back and forth, it is nothing more than washing a few clothes and sewing a few clothes less, and they will not fight and fight for the sake of stealing and playing tricks, at most they will quarrel a few words." The higher you go, the more things you have to fight for, and in the face of huge interests, people's hearts will be more ruthless, and they will do whatever they want. ”

"It is said that there is gold all over the palace, and there are many people who rush in with a high heart, but there are only a few who have overcome obstacles and clothed Qiluo all the way. When you get to the nobles, you can get ahead if you do it well, and if you don't do it well, it's the life of cannon fodder. An peace of mind stayed at the Huanyi place, and it was good to stay up until the end of the year and be released from the palace to celebrate An's birthday. I think Shaoying didn't take you to the palace for this purpose. ”

Lianzhou listened to Zhao Yu's words, silently recalled the kindness of these young young people to her, and her heart was sad, and tears gushed out.

Zhao Yu put down the work in his hand, patted her hand lightly and said: "Whether it's my blind guess, or what she really thinks, since the Si people are gone, you have to take care of yourself." ”

The most useless thing in the world is comfort, and no amount of comfort can soothe the pain in my heart.

Lianzhou cried again, crying hoarsely before falling asleep on the bed. After tucking the corners of the quilt for her, Zhao Yu returned to the stove and continued to sew and mend clothes. Although Mama Chen allowed Lianzhou's leave, if she delayed her work, she would be punished again.

Zhao Yu mended her clothes all afternoon, sat with a sore back and legs, and when it was almost dusk, the light in the room was dim, and she put down the work in her hand. As soon as she got up and moved her muscles, the palace maid in front of the palace suddenly called her over.

"Lecture?" Zhao Yu was surprised and asked, "Do you want me to go over now?" ”

Bing Tao nodded: "It seems to be a matter of going out of the palace." ”

Zhao Yu knew in his heart, and knew that he was going to Anguo Mansion tomorrow to ask them to lecture first.

Zhao Yu lived far away, and when he arrived at the side hall, almost all the people had arrived. Yun Feng, who was serving His Highness's daily life, stood aside with a bamboo board in his hand, and there was no sound below. Zhao Yu blessed Yun Feng with his blessing body, and then stood behind.

Yun Feng bowed slightly at Zhao Xuan, and immediately looked at the team again. After a while, when he saw that everyone was almost ready, he walked around them with a bamboo board in his hand, and made a point: "This time, you follow me to the Anguo Mansion to serve the old man, and everyone must do their part." Who can't afford to endure hardship, talk about it as soon as possible. I will lead you out, not for merit, but for no fault, and when you get there, you must listen to what you are told, and you must not be stubborn, and you must be quick in your work, and you will not be in trouble. Not to mention that it is not allowed to push back and do things in an orderly manner, but it will not ruin the face of the East Palace and His Royal Highness the Prince. If anyone dares to make a fuss under my nose, don't expect my precepts to be merciful, and punish them all, do you understand? ”

The big palace maid naturally has the majesty of the big palace maid, her voice is not loud, but every word she spits out is loud. Xu has served His Royal Highness for a long time, and she has also been touched by the kingly spirit on her, and all the little palace maids have bowed their heads and obediently obeyed.

The rules were set, and Yun Feng was about to let everyone disperse, when a person suddenly broke into the hall.

"Cloud Seal!" The woman's face was full of anger, and she rushed straight to Yun Feng, ignoring the presence of others, and raised her hand to "snap" and slapped Yun Feng in the face.

The woman was very colorful, her facial features were fine and white, and her eyes looked like a shelled egg, and she couldn't even find a mole. The body is as slender as a willow, put on a royal blue dress, the slender waist is lightly tied, and the posture that flutters is like a fairy in a painting.

A slap scattered the majesty on her face, and tears of humiliation instantly welled up. She looked at the woman for a moment, her lips and teeth moved, and she knelt down in front of the woman: "The slave is stupid, I don't know what stupid thing I did to offend Miss Wei, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”

The stunning woman frowned slightly, and snorted: "Dog minion, I heard that you told the people of the Guards Division that if I came to find Brother Langshu, let them tell me that he is not in the East Palace, but is there such a thing?" ”

Yun Cover's face was flustered: "Girl forgive your sins...... The slave and maid just obeyed His Highness's orders......"

"Slap", another slap in the face.

The woman said angrily: "Dog minion ......"

Not long after, another big palace maid walked in quickly, signaling Zhao Yu and them to leave quickly. Zhao Yu lowered his head and retreated away, and only when he walked out of the distance did he dare to turn his head slightly, and saw that the beautiful woman was scolding with an angry face, Yun Feng knelt on the ground, his hair was loose and crooked, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked very pitiful.

Zhao Yu guessed from the woman's title and her arrogant and domineering actions that the woman should be the eldest girl of the Wei family, Wei Wanyu.

Zhao Yu is far away in the raccoon clothes, and he doesn't like to chew his tongue with people, and he doesn't know much about the things in the palace, but he has also heard of this Wei girl.

She and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince grew up together since childhood, and they are said to be the best choice for the crown princess.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Wenjian is the most dazzling existence of this dynasty. At the age of fourteen, after being crowned the crown prince, he visited Shikoku in recent years and settled in Anbang; Practicing benevolent government, reducing taxes and loving the people; Self-cultivation and self-cultivation, it is said that there is not even a red sleeve around him.

Zhao Yu has worked in the East Palace for many years, but he has never seen the prince, and only according to what the palace people said when they chatted, he traced in his mind the silhouette of a saint who was as bright as the bright moon.

The woman who was sassy and domineering walked side by side with the saint?

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head speechlessly.

——

Early the next morning, Zhao Yu got up early and went to the west gate to wait.

The female companions who traveled with them were full of expectations for this time to go out of the palace, and more than three or five people chattered together. Before entering the palace, Zhao Yu knew An Guogong. The old man is a great Confucian in Longxi, who is pure and kind, saves the world, and cares for the people, and is an old sage who everyone is called and happy.

When Zhao Yu was eight years old, there was a drought in the capital, and the fields were so dry that no food could grow at all, and the land on the mountains was turned over countless times by the victims, and in the end there was no grass root to eat.

That year, my grandmother was sick, and her life was hanging by a thread without food, and when she was anxious, she heard that the Anguo Mansion opened a warehouse to release grain to help the victims.

Zhao Yu thought that he was like other families, and he used the name of releasing grain to help disasters to gain fame, and went to the public mansion to try his luck without any hope.

In the end, she actually received life-saving food.

She went to many places to try to receive food, but only received it in the Anguo Mansion.

The food provided by the Anguo Mansion for disaster relief supported my grandmother to survive.

Zhao Yu was grateful to him and remembered him for many years.

Although Zhao Yu also admires An Guogong's personality, she knows that her status is low, even if she goes to the mansion, I am afraid that she will not have the opportunity to see her true face. But thinking that he could go to the Guogong Mansion to serve him and do his best, his heart was half nervous and half joyful.

Yun Feng arrived outside the West Gate on time.

Yesterday in the side hall, she was beaten by Wei Wanyu, her cheeks were still a little red and swollen, but there was no misery between her eyebrows.

Serving in front of His Highness, even if he is beaten, he must be upright, and he must not lose the slightest grace.

I'm so tired, Zhao thought to himself.

One by one, Yun Feng led more than 30 palace maids selected by the East Palace to board the car and go to the Anguo Mansion.

Just out of the palace gate, there is still some distance to the place where the car is parked. When they went out, a few people next to them were about to enter the palace, and the two groups of teams happened to bump into each other.

A group of seven or eight people, dressed in brocade clothes, was bowing their heads and digging their waist cards, bowing their heads and laughing at something.

Zhao Yu still saw Bai Yu in the crowd at a glance.

Although Bai Yu is a eunuch, he is very handsome, and he is not wearing a palace dress today, but wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a straight body and outstanding demeanor.

Lianzhou and Bingtao often joked with her, if Bai Yu was not a eunuch, but an ordinary guard, when she survived until she left the palace in the future, she would definitely be a good wishful man.

When Zhao Yu and Bai Yu first met, he was just a lowly little yellow door.

She had just gone through the darkest hour of her life, and she had no one to accompany her. Bai Yu's company soothed her fears.

When she was the least motivated, Bai Yu helped her get in touch with her grandmother outside the palace, so that she gradually had the courage to support herself.

For many years after that, he has been caring for her meticulously.

Zhao Yu is not a young and ignorant little girl, and she will not fail to see the affection in his eyes.

Zhao Yu has no lofty ambitions, he just wants to stay up honestly until he leaves the palace, find a considerate and loyal man to live, and provide for his grandmother who has worked hard all her life.

Maybe it's because she has suffered a lot since she was a child, and she feels that it's good for a man to be gentle and considerate, and she doesn't care about her identity.

After the pain of the last time, she didn't even think it mattered if it was a real man or not.

It was too painful.

She seriously thought about it, when she left the palace, if Bai Yu didn't dislike her things, she would also be willing to live with him.

In a trance, Bai Yu had already entered the palace with his companions.

Zhao couldn't help but glance sideways at his back.

Time flies so fast, the timid and cowardly little yellow door at the beginning is free to enter and leave the palace gate in a blink of an eye.

The vigorous aura of a young man exuded from his body made Zhao Yu can't help but feel sorry.

If he is not a eunuch, he must also be a high-spirited person with lofty ideals, rather than being trapped in the East Palace and being a subordinate sent by others.

Zhao Yu didn't ask him what he was doing now, but he could enter and leave the palace freely, and talk and laugh freely in front of the palace, so he must at least be someone who could talk to His Highness.

Zhao Yu pulled his thoughts back, his ethereal gaze lowered, landed on the tip of his shoe, and quickly caught up with the team in front of him.

Let's talk about it later.

She won't be out of the palace until next year.

When I arrived at the Guogong Mansion, it was because it was a person given by His Royal Highness the Prince. The wife of the princess, Liu, personally received them, first thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness, and then distributed them everywhere.

Zhao Yu and several other maids were assigned to the medicine room and were responsible for decocting medicine for the old man.

The palace maids who came out of the East Palace, after all, represent the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the steward did not dare to call them to work like his own maids. They went, but in fact, most of them were chatting about melon seeds in the second time.

Zhao Yu had received the favor of her husband, and she wanted to do something for him in her selfish heart.

She knows very well that with her status as an old man, there are very few things she can do for him. Maybe this is the only thing I can do for him in this life.

Therefore, she personally watched the decoction of the furnace for her husband in front of the stove every day.

On the third day of Zhaoyu's arrival at the Gongfu, there was a spring snow.

The sound of the snow was urgent and dense, and in a short time it was covered with a light white layer everywhere.

It went down for two or three days in a row, and the posture still didn't stop, and there was a vast expanse of all around.

On the day of the public mansion, as if there was something important, there were maids and servants hurrying by outside the house from time to time.

After a while, Hui Niang, the steward of the medicine room, almost ran in, and the people in the house immediately looked towards the door. She breathed a sigh of relief, looked around the room, and finally walked up to Zhao Yu and said, "Your honor, forgive me, there is something in the house today, and I need to move a few maids to help elsewhere, and I also ask the nobleman to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the medicine room." ”

The maids and servants of high-ranking families have a fine division of labor, and the medicine room only needs to decoction and medicine, and there is no need for so many people. Zhao Yu has been familiar with the affairs here in the past few days, and a few people are also busy, so he nodded and said, "But listen to the steward's orders." ”

After getting along for a few days, who is doing things and who is not doing things, Hui Niang can see clearly in her eyes. But he didn't expect that Zhao Yu didn't have the slightest shelf, and he was immediately even more grateful, and hurriedly bowed her deeply, said words of thanks, left a fire girl, and led the rest of the people away.

The palace maid across the door in the second room heard their conversation.

One of the housekeepers in the flower room rolled his eyes and mocked: "Look at what she can, as long as she is here to work, we are all here to eat idle meals in the mansion." ”

The rest of the people hid their lips and snickered, muffled their voices and whispered.

Zhao Yu pretended not to hear, and watched the fire in front of the medicine stove in a proper manner.

The hourglass on a stoveside plan is nearing the end, and this piece of medicine should be sent in time to avoid delaying the effect.

The next few people couldn't count on it, she silently put on her cloak, and said to the girl who was burning the fire: "I'll go deliver the medicine, you look at the fire." ”

The little girl "belched", opened the door for her, and sent her out.

The old man moved out of the wing room before his illness and moved to Jing'an Xiaozhu near the lake in the deep courtyard. Jing'an Xiaozhuwei is built in a corner of the inner lake, remote and quiet, very suitable for recuperation. This place was used as a place for the children of the clan to go to school, and the old man did not like extravagance, so only a few houses were built.

He moved here this time to recuperate, because the place is too narrow, the medicine room is set up in the hope of a water, the two places are connected by a plank road on the water, from the Qiwuju to Jing'an Xiaozhu, the decoction is the palatable temperature.

Zhao Yu walked out of the medicine room with the medicine, it was snowing in the spring, and the weather was even colder than the deep winter, she was excited by the cold wind, and she was hit hard.

Worried that the decoction would cool faster in this weather, Zhao Yu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and walked quickly towards Jing'an Xiaozhu.

When I arrived at the hospital, I saw that many people had gathered outside the hospital.

Looking at the past, most of them are brocade hats and mink furs, and they are extravagant; Looking at their casual appearance, they don't look like guests, but like people with heads and faces in the mansion.

Zhao Yu suddenly chuckled in his heart, wondering if it was the old man's health that the family came to see him off......

But the corner of the eye quietly swept over their faces, and there was no trace of sadness, but they all looked extremely happy, excited, and expectant, and they felt that they were thinking too much.

When he was puzzled, Liu, who received Zhao Yu and his party that day, came out and asked, "Is the medicine decoction ready?" The prince urged twice. ”

Zhao Yu understood that it was the prince who came to visit the patient.
