Chapter Twenty-Six: The Maid in the Warm House

Bai Xuanyue lost interest in an instant, waved her hand and said, "That's it, you go down." ”

"Doesn't the girl look down on the slave?" the maid's smiling face instantly dimmed and turned into loss.

"I know you're not willing, after all, no one would be willing to be a pet to a demon, I'm just asking. Bai Xuanyue said with a smile.

"No, the slave is sincere!" The maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, looking nervous, for fear that Bai Xuanyue would not want her.

"I'm a demon, and I sucked the essence of the concubine, aren't you afraid that when I'm hungry, I'll suck you clean?"

"The slave knows that she was not killed by the girl......"

The maid's eyes flickered, her head was lowered, and the corners of her mouth trembled and she continued to speak: "Slave maid...... That night...... I saw the person who killed the noble concubine. ”

Bai Xuanyue asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

"Slave maid...... I didn't dare to say it, and asked the girl not to ask again, that person...... The girl still doesn't know!" The maidservant's head was buried lower, and only trembling shoulders could be seen.

Bai Xuanyue asked speculatively, "That person's status is very high, even above me?"

The maidservant knelt on the ground and said, "Girl...... Slave beg you...... Don't ask. ”

"Get up!" Bai Xuanyue knew in her heart, and she didn't intend to embarrass the maid, so she reached out and helped her up.

"Girl, please take the slave and maid, or the slave and maid will die. The handmaid pinched her sleeves and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Why?"

"The slave maid is the palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, and a few days ago she unintentionally provoked the aunt in the palace, she scolded the slave and maid lightly, beat her severely, and took the slave and maid everywhere to get angry...... "The maid said while wiping her tears, "Please also ask the girl, save the slave and maid!"

"What's your name?" Bai Xuanyue's face was calm, and she looked at the maidservant in front of her seriously.

A small round face with a big palm, thick eyebrows and big eyes, looks like a watery spirit, and her appearance is very pleasing, but she is wearing a gray-blue dress that is very unsuitable for her age, which looks a little old-fashioned.

"The slave maid is called Huang Ying. The maid's eyes lit up, wiped her eyes, and looked at Bai Xuanyue worriedly.

"It just so happens that I don't need a warm house maid over there, so I'll leave it to you. ”

Bai Xuanyue stretched out her hand and took out a handkerchief and handed it to Huang Ying, this handkerchief was the one that Yun Ze wiped her blood on, but it had been washed by her, and she wanted to return it to him before, but now it seems that if he returns it to him, he will be dirty!

Huang Ying took the handkerchief, and after seeing the words embroidered on the handkerchief, a small face instantly lost color, and even the handkerchief fell to the ground in fright.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xuanyue looked at Huang Ying's panicked expression and asked.

"The slave didn't mean it, the slave and the maid picked it up!" Huang Ying hurriedly squatted down, picked up the handkerchief, reached out and patted the dust stained on it, looking extremely careful and serious, as if she was treating a rare treasure.

"It's nothing, the handkerchief is for you. ”

Bai Xuanyue waved her hand, that person wouldn't want it anyway.

"Thank you, girl!" Huang Ying bowed to Bai Xuanyue gratefully.

"My name is Bai Xuanyue, don't be a girl on the left, a girl on the right, call me by my name!" Bai Xuanyue pointed to this side of the palace, "By the way, you are in this palace, you should know where the Internal Affairs Office is, right?"

"Internal Affairs Office?" Huang Ying looked puzzled, lowered her head shyly, and said cowardly, "White girl, there is no Internal Affairs Office in this palace. ”

"There is even a Huanyi Bureau, how can there be no Internal Affairs Bureau?" Bai Xuanyue thinks that she has watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, and it seems that there is a Huanyi Bureau and the Internal Affairs Office in every drama.

Since waking up today, Bai Xuanyue seems to have remembered a lot of memories that belong to her, in those memories, there are no immortals, no monsters, and no emperors, everyone is born equal, there is gold under the paint of men, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to parents and wives.

"White girl, you can tell the slave what she wants, and the slave will take you there. Huang Ying carefully put the handkerchief into the placket of her clothes and replied.

"I'd like to make a few dresses, and I'll have you to lead the way.

"This ...... Shangyi Bureau ......" Huang Ying's eyes dodged, and then she said in a low voice, "White girl, I'll take you there." ”

Huang Ying took Bai Xuanyue around the palace, circled around a long circle, and stopped in front of a palace gate.

The plaque on the palace gate reads 'Huanyi Bureau'.

Bai Xuanyue stared at the purple and gold plaque on the palace, and without saying a word, she walked towards the Huanyi Bureau.

Huang Ying hurriedly trotted in front of Bai Xuanyue, and her voice trembled: "White girl...... Not here, slaves and maids are used to coming here...... Led the wrong way......"

Bai Xuanyue whispered a "hmm", continued to walk inside, and said without annoyance: "Since you are here, you will go shopping, and it will not be in vain to go." ”

"Yes...... But ......"

Huang Ying wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Xuanyue with a smile: "It's nothing, let's go, I'm here." ”

The palace people guarding the door saw Bai Xuanyue walking in, and hurriedly saluted, and another palace person trotted to report to the palace maid who was the steward of the Huanyi Bureau.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a middle-aged palace maid in a gray and black dress to come over, the palace maid didn't look very old, only about thirty years old, the years did not leave any traces on her face, but her eyes were full of vicissitudes.

When the palace maid in charge saw Bai Xuanyue, she greeted her warmly, without a trace of hypocrisy on her face, and saluted frankly.

"Are you the aunt in this palace?" Bai Xuanyue saw that the female official's gaze did not look at Huang Ying behind her, but glanced back at Huang Ying, and saw that she looked uneasy, and did not say anything.

"Miss Hui, it's the slave maid. The palace maid in charge looked at Bai Xuanyue with a real gaze, and said with a smile, "I don't know if the girl comes to the Huanyi Bureau to have clothes that need to be washed? ”

In the entire palace, the portrait of Bai Xuanyue, the third disciple of the national teacher, has already been spread, so there is no one in the palace who does not know her.

"It's okay, I'm just passing by. Bai Xuanyue arched her hand and smiled, "Now that I've finished reading it, you guys can continue to be busy." ”

After a period of greetings, Bai Xuanyue walked out of the Huanyi Bureau, stared at Huang Ying intentionally or unintentionally, with a heavy heart, and continued to follow Huang Ying's footsteps.

After a long time, Bai Xuanyue stopped and said, "Go find a palace maid and ask!"

"Huh?" Huang Ying froze in place, turned her head to look at Bai Xuanyue, her little face was flushed, and a pair of fingers were about to be broken by the placket, "White girl?"

"You look up and see if there is a pavilion over there?" Bai Xuanyue asked good-naturedly, pointing to the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the distance.

Huang Ying shook her head inexplicably, her red lips slightly whitened from the bite of her shell teeth.

"If I'm not mistaken, we've already walked this road three times, and if you don't meet a ghost hitting the wall, you're taking the wrong path. Bai Xuanyue's lips were slightly raised, with a playful smile on her face.
