On this day, Chunlan and a fellow palace maid named Shui Hong went to the pulp washing room to pick up the clothes in the imperial concubine's palace and sent them over together. The two palace maids had to carry dozens of clothes to send over, and they had to walk so far, and when they were halfway through, Shui Hong couldn't hold on.

"Chunlan, let's rest, my two arms are sore. From here to the palace of the imperial concubine, there is still a way to go. Let's just sit under the shade of the tree over there for a while before we leave, and we won't be delayed. ”

At that time, it was the third dog day of June, the scorching sun was in the sky, almost the stone road was sunburned, and the thin soles of her shoes were walking on it, hot and awkward, and Chunlan felt that there were blisters on the soles of her feet. She licked her chapped lips and said, "Alright then, just a moment, we can't afford to delay our errand!"

Shui Hong nodded immediately, and the two walked under the shade of the tree. Although the foliage here blocked out the scorching sun, it was unusually hot because there was not a hint of wind. Shui Hong kept fanning her cheeks with a handkerchief, hoping to cool down, but it didn't work. Layers of sweat beads came out, almost soaking the close-fitting clothes inside.

"Every time there is such a thankless errand, my aunt will hand it over to the two of us to do, it's really partial!" Shui Hong complained in a low voice, "Those little hooves who can please each other, when were they not sent by their aunt to do those light errands, didn't the two of us just stuff silver into my aunt?" Hmph, they all say that the palace is good, but the little bit of silver given every month is not enough for the family!"

"Okay, okay, what's the use of saying this?" Chunlan on the side said with a smile, "Why don't you say it, every time my aunt sends us to the palace of the queen or the imperial concubine to deliver something, we either get some fruit, or we can get some scattered silver." I still remember that once the imperial concubine was directing the palace people to take out the old clothes she wore to dry, and gave you a gift!"

When Shui Hong heard her say this, she suddenly came to her senses, and said with envy in her eyes, "The material of that dress is light and soft, and it looks like you don't wear it when you wear it." It's a pity that that garment is not something that a slave like me can wear. I have already been sent out of the palace to let my father and mother offer up! You say, we are both women, why did we do that when our lives were so bad? We have to work hard every day, serve others without saying anything, and get beaten and scolded are all common things. And those girls, who are high, come to reach out for food and open their mouths, and they wear such good clothes!"

She picked up a lotus-colored embroidered gardenia, gestured twice on herself, sighed and said, "If this is worn on me, it may not be as good as those girls!"

Chunlan saw that the more she talked, the more unruly she became, and hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, is this also what we can say? Quickly put down this clothes, if it gets dirty and damaged, we can't afford to pay for it!"

"Oh, you're too careful, I'm just ......" Shui Hong's words stopped halfway through, and she stared at the corner of the dress with a pair of red phoenix eyes, just on a white gardenia, there was a hole the size of a finger!

"This, how did you get this?" Chunlan also saw the hole, and immediately panicked, "I said I won't let you move, you don't listen, this, what can I do!" Shui Hong's originally hot and red face turned pale with fear at the moment.

"Don't panic first, I'll take a look!" Chunlan took the dress from Shui Hong's hand and looked left and right, the opening on it was not accidentally torn by Shui Hong, but was damaged because she used too much force during the pulp washing.

It's just that at this moment, these clothes are still waiting in the palace of the imperial concubine, and it seems that these clothes are none other than the imperial concubine's. Chunlan's heart was beating wildly, and she knew that this time there was probably a big disaster.

"No, this dress has to be sent back!" Chunlan planned for the worst, thinking that the people who came to the pulp washing room would damage the clothes, and she was worried that the imperial concubine would blame her, so she would mix in the other clothes, and wanted to put this responsibility on to her and Shui Hong.

Shui Hong was already scared to cry, "Chunlan, if this matter is known to my aunt, she will definitely hit my board." What should I do, I don't want to be stripped of my pants and beaten in front of everyone, how embarrassing!"

Chunlan couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, it seems that Shui Hong still doesn't understand, this is no longer as simple as playing the board and not playing the board. Chunlan thought that they could pretend that they didn't know anything and still send the clothes to the imperial concubine's palace. In this way, even if they are discovered, they can excuse themselves and say that they don't know, and they blame each other with the people in the pulp washing room, so that they will be beaten at most and will never worry about their lives.

However, Chunlan really couldn't swallow this breath. It was clearly the people in the pulp washing room who were playing ghosts, bullying her and Shui Hong. But she also understands that she is also half responsible for this matter, why she didn't check the clothes properly when she picked them up, and if she had found the torn clothes at that time, she wouldn't have the trouble she is doing now.

"You are talking, what should we do now?" Shui Hong's anxious six gods have no master, she already has no city in her chest, and she can't help such a thing, and now seeing that Chunlan doesn't speak, her heart is even more panicked.

Chunlan made up her mind that this matter couldn't end like this. She took out the clothes separately and said to Shui Hong, "You send the others to the palace of the imperial concubine, and I will go and ask the people in the pulp washing room who broke the clothes and wanted to frame us!"

"Hey, there are so many, I really can't take it!Chunlan, you wait for me, you come back!" No matter how Shui Hong screamed in the back, Chunlan didn't stop. Shui Hong came to her senses at this time, she thought, those people in the pulp washing room are not easy to deal with, and Chunlan must not be allowed to confront them alone. I must hurry up and send these clothes to the palace of the imperial concubine, and then rush to help Chunlan!

All the way, Chunlan trotted to the pulp washing room, she carefully held the dress, and ran out of breath. When the people in the pulp washing room saw her hurrying over, they pretended that nothing had happened, and they didn't even look at her.

Chunlan took a few steps up the steps, stood at the highest place, held the dress in her hand and said loudly, "Who made this, who broke that dress?" Hmph, don't think I don't know, the hole in this is what you made!" She shouted two or three times in a row, seeing that no one was stubble, Chunlan was angry, she picked up a pot of blooming jasmine, and slammed the pot to the ground, "bang", and the fall was shattered! The people in the yard suddenly turned around together, and looked at Chunlan with unkind eyes!
