The fog is heavy
Early the next morning.
More than a dozen embroiderers carry baskets to collect flowers and bark for dyes on the back mountain, usually indigo, safflower, madder, barberry and perilla, etc., and in some places you can also find cinnabar, ochre, stone blue and other minerals, while other embroiderers carry bamboo baskets to Houshan Lake to go to the yarn, and they have to do these things outside every morning.
In view of the fact that Gong Qianzhu had just arrived and did not know many dyes, she and Ah Zhen went with a bamboo basket and a yarn, which was quite easy to do, and they chatted with each other.
"Were you frightened last night? That scream brought Aunt Cuiwei here. Ah Zhen blamed herself a little, "It's also to blame me for not reminding you, fortunately my aunt didn't pursue it, it would be bad if it went to the king." โ
"The king will also take care of this matter?" This Charm King is really wide enough, she said secretly in her heart.
Ah Zhen hesitated, "The king won't care about this kind of miscellaneous matter, but if it involves Sister Showa......"
Showa, who was not far from them, suddenly raised his head to look at them, his eyes were cold and sharp, Ah Zhen quickly closed his mouth, lowered his head and focused on Huansha, and no longer dared to gossip with Gong Qianzhu.
Gong Qianzhu raised her eyebrows in some surprise, and smiled at her after meeting Showa's unkind gaze, she didn't forget that this girl glared at her coldly after screaming in fright last night, and she was not a good target to mess with at first glance.
Please, she didn't want the screams at night to disturb people's dreams, but the scene last night was really terrifying, not to mention that under the lightning and thunder, the horror coefficient rose straight up.
It's just that this Showa must have something to do with the Charm King, and besides, everyone in this palace must know something, but they just don't want to say it, perhaps, they don't dare to say it.
It's weird.,This Showa is just an embroidery girl like them.,But it seems that everyone else is afraid of her.,Don't dare to approach her.ใ
She suddenly remembered what Ah Zhen said to her yesterday, that she would be killed...... Is that why they don't dare to provoke Showa?
But...... Jiulizhan gave her a hint to find the Charm King, but she hasn't been able to see the Charm King yet, not to mention that her current identity is just a small embroidery girl, how can she see the Charm King?
Just thinking about it, Ah Zhen was already exclaiming, "Oh my God, the yarn was washed away by the water!"
Gong Qianzhu looked up and saw a thin light purple veil washed away by the impact of the waterfall, and soon sank half of it, leaving only the other half barely floating on the surface of the lake.
These yarns are directly for the royal use of the King of Charm, if there is an accident, the King of Charm will not let them go easily, no wonder Ah Zhen is so anxious that she is about to cry. Besides, these embroiderers can only weave and embroider, and there are basically no spells except for their long lifespan, so naturally they will not cast spells to scoop up the purple yarn.
Gong Qianzhu put the bamboo basket to the side, tapped his toes, and walked towards the purple yarn, and fished the purple yarn very easily.
The embroidery girls suddenly opened their eyes in surprise, and Ah Zhen, who was about to cry in a hurry, also burst into tears and laughed, and took the purple yarn handed over by Gong Qianzhu and held it tightly in her hand, for fear that it would be washed away by the water again.
"Qianzhu, it turns out that you know how to do spells, why haven't I heard you say it before?" Ah Zhen asked as she surrounded her, as excited as if she had discovered a new continent.
Gong Qianzhu smiled slightly, "I learned a little before, but I wasn't very proficient." โ
"That's amazing, too!" they don't know at all, Ah Zhen thought excitedly.
What happened here soon caused a commotion, and Gong Qianzhu was surrounded by embroidery girls and kept asking questions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Suddenly felt a complicated gaze shooting straight at her through the crowd, Gong Qianzhu raised his eyes, and only saw the back of Showa carrying a bamboo basket and walking away indifferently.
ยท
After Gong Qianzhu returned to the Tianxiu room, she went to the back side room while the girls were resting, and put the collected Sanqi and Xianhe grass into the medicine jar to boil, these two medicinal materials were inadvertently discovered when she helped other embroidery girls to find dye together after the yarn was finished, which was very helpful to prevent the wound from suppurating, she remembered that her right eye was bleeding when Showa came back last night, presumably the wound was suppurated, and it would cause more trouble if not treated in time.
It was already pitiful to be gouged out of her eyes, and she thought with some sadness in her heart, she didn't know how cruel that Demon King was to do such a cruel thing.
Decocting the herbs into a paste was done, and she packed it in a jade box, but when she returned, she didn't see Showa.
"Ah Zhen. She pulled Ah Zhen's sleeve, "Where did Showa go?"
Ah Zhen looked up at the hour and replied, "It's about to be the time for the king to eat, so I should go back to the heavenly dining room to pass the meal." โ
"What?" Gong Qianzhu was a little surprised, "Isn't she an embroiderer......?" Do you still have to take care of the food?"
"Oh, she's not an embroiderer, she works in the heavenly dining room, she just lives here. โ
"Huh?" Gong Qianzhu became more and more confused, "Since you are working in the Tianshan Room, why do you want to live here?"
"This is the king's will. Ah Zhen's voice suddenly lowered, and she muttered, "Because the conditions here are a little better......
Gong Qianzhu looked at her strangely, but she shook her head and didn't want to say more, quietly bowing her head and threading the needle. Gong Qianzhu didn't ask any more, and asked the aunt of the Tianxiu room for instructions and went to the Tianshan room.
She is getting more and more incomprehensible about the Charm King, saying that she hates Showa, but she lets her live in a Tianxiu room with better conditions, saying that she doesn't hate Showa, but she gouged out her eyes with her own hands, oh, it's really strange enough.
"Qianzhu?" Cui Wei, who was checking the meal, saw her enter the heavenly dining room, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Did you come here to find me?"
Gong Qianzhu was a little surprised when she saw her, it turned out that Cui Wei was the aunt who managed the Tianshan Room, what a coincidence, she quickly shook her head and smiled: "No, I'm here to find Miss Showa." โ
"Looking for Showa?," the emerald willow eyebrows furrowed tightly.
She hurriedly took out the medicine box in her sleeve and handed it to Cui Wei, and begged, "Aunt Cui Wei, this is something for Showa, please help me transfer it." โ
Cui Wei took it and just looked at the box, but didn't open it to look at the contents, smiled and nodded in agreement.
Gong Qianzhu was about to turn around and leave, but Cui Wei suddenly grabbed her and smiled with a bit of pleading, "Qianzhu, can you do my aunt a favor, a girl in the Tianshan room has recently been infected with a cold and can't pass the meal for the time being, so can you take it for her, just today." โ
Gong Qianzhu thought that he would get close to the Charm King anyway, so it was better to take this opportunity to meet what kind of person it was, so he nodded.
The pomp of this ghost king is really big enough, there are more than a dozen maidservants who pass the meal, Gong Qianzhu stood in the second row, Cui Wei led the way in front of her, she secretly glanced at the whole team, and finally saw Showa in the last of the other column, the moment she raised her eyes, she saw that Showa was also looking at her, her eyes intersected, she was shocked, and quickly withdrew her gaze and stopped looking.
Showa also lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes hid the complicated look under his eyes.
