Chapter 152

Xiao Yezi kowtowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Although the young lady is a subordinate of the crown prince, she has a low status and dare not have any unreasonable thoughts. Your highness the crown prince has just passed away. As a subject, you should be loyal and loyal. He guarded the palace with a broom in the palace where the prince lived before his death, and did his best for His Royal Highness, and also asked His Majesty to help the little girl, the little girl has nothing to repay."

Xiao Yezi's words made Wanyanli, who had already lost her son, more enjoyable to hear, and she couldn't help nodding her head and said: "Okay, okay, it's rare for you to be loyal. I'll let you be the lantern-bearer maid of Yuqing Palace."

Xiao Ye Zi kowtowed to thank the emperor, and then withdrew.After receiving the golden words from Emperor Yanjin, the mother-in-law led her into the harem naturally.Even though she was a court lady, she was a meritorious official who traveled long distances to escort the prince back to the country. In addition to the emperor's blue eyes, the mother-in-law did not dare to embarrass her, and politely brought her all the way to Yuqing Palace, the prince's dormitory. , and patiently taught her some palace rules.Wanyan Mie is dead, this Yuqing Palace is basically regarded as a cold palace except that the regulations are still the same as before the crown prince was alive, so the popularity is naturally not as prosperous as the crown prince was alive.She, the lady in charge of the lamp, doesn't need to serve her master, and she came here because of meritorious service, so it's just a decoration after all.But with Xiao Yezi's sweet talk, her low eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, she keeps saying that Mammy is long and Nanny is short, and she secretly stuffed a lot of money into Mammy Jiaoyin, and she naturally gave Madam Jiaoyin the flattering flattery. Xiaoye has more generous treatment, and even the housing is the only one.

So Xiao Yezi began her "life" in Yuqing Palace.During the day, like ordinary maids, she cleaned around with a broom and rag. At night, when the maids were fast asleep, she wandered secretly inside and outside Yuqing Palace, looking for Yang Yizhao's whereabouts.

However, after Wanyan Mie died, Yang Yizhao also disappeared.After living in the palace for several days, Xiao Ye Zi got nothing.

Did I make a wrong calculation?Yang Yizhao is not in the palace?But Lu Zheng clearly said that Wanyan Mie imprisoned him in the palace... Although Lu Zheng is young, he is very talented, and he is also one of Wanyan Mie's highly valued subjects. His information should not be false.Since Wanyan Mie saved Yang Yizhao, it was naturally because Yang Yizhao was profitable.From the time Wanyan destroyed Yanjin to the time when he was defeated, Yang Yizhao was still imprisoned in the palace.It stands to reason that as long as there are no major conflicts or accidents, Yang Yizhao should become a dead move that no one pays attention to, and will continue to stay somewhere in the palace.Well, she needs to be patient and find more clues.

Without changing her face, she continued to lurk in this Yuqing Palace, paying more attention to the words and deeds of the people around her.

Yuqing Palace has no main seat, so the small kitchen belonging to this palace has become the private area of ​​the entire palace, and the maids of the palace will go to the small kitchen in shifts to cook for everyone.On this day, it was Xiao Yezi's turn to be on duty.Xiao Ye Zi and the other two young maids arrived at the small kitchen of Yuqing Palace, calculated the amount of food according to the number of people in Yuqing Palace, and began to cook.But while they were cooking, the two little maids said that Xiao Yezi made a wrong calculation and there must be not enough food.

Xiao Yezi frowned suspiciously: "There are only 13 people in Yuqing Palace, together with mother, father-in-law, and us. I have already prepared food for 13 people as required, so how could it be insufficient? Could it be that father-in-law made extra Want to add food?"

The little palace maid receives a lot of care from Xiao Yezi on weekdays, so she hurriedly told Xiao Yezi: "We don't know the reason, but we always cook for 15 people."

"Who is the extra meal prepared for? Could it be that Mammy hid it for herself and brought it herself?" Xiao Yezi asked.

The little court lady Cui'er hastily booed: "I dare not say that... After the death of the crown prince of Yuqing Palace, all the father-in-law who accompanied him were dispatched to the mausoleum, and there was only one old man left in this palace, Wang Momo. With her background and family background, even if she is a little bit cheap, we don't want to talk about it, so we just turn a blind eye and close our eyes. You are new here, so don't touch this bad luck. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat and walk around. "

She calmly thanked the little court lady Tweety for her reminder, but Xiao Yezi became more and more careful—is it the nanny who is hiding something?Or is there someone else in Yuqing Palace?It's better to have a look at Wang Momo's tone.She found the little eunuch who often went out of the palace, donated tens of taels of silver in blood, and brought a pure gold hairpin from outside the palace for the mother, and sweetly asked her to be her godmother.Nanny Wang was originally a greedy person, but also liked Xiao Yezi's sweet-tongued personality, so she accepted the golden hairpin after being coerced by Xiao Yezi's words.

While Wang Momo was happy holding the golden hairpin, Xiao Yezi's eyes were sly, and she talked about the extra meal in the kitchen the day before yesterday: "When my daughter was working in the kitchen the other day, I heard Tweety complain about too much work. There were 13 people eating. I had to prepare a meal for 15 people. My daughter just arrived, and she didn't understand the rules here, and she didn't dare to speak up. Seeing that her daughter didn't say a word, Cui Er was even more annoyed. The mother was playing for selfishness and asked them to work for nothing. My daughter tried to persuade her, but she was pushed back, and she was really angry."

After hearing this, Wang Momo raised her eyebrows immediately: "This little hoof knows how to instigate behind his back. Daughter, don't listen to the rumors about their broken-mouthed hoofs. They are all young and have many problems. They are used to stealing and cheating." .”

Xiao Ye Zi pretended to be respectful: "I also know that they are ignorant, and they don't stand with them. My daughter knows that the godmother is an old man in the palace, and she is quite experienced and has a unique vision. How could she make such a meal?" Xiao En Xiaohui, who eats two meals, sees it?"

Wang Momo smiled and touched Xiao Ye Zi's face: "You are still sensible."

"It's just... there are regulations for money and materials in each palace, why not save some money and exchange these favors for other resources, wouldn't it be more practical?" Xiao Yezi wondered.

Wang Momo sighed: "Daughter, do you think the godmother doesn't want to live on solid money? It's just that she has to do it because of orders from her superiors."

"An order from the superior?" Xiao Yezi was stunned, "Could it be that the superior is still waiting for our small kitchen to deliver the meals?"

"It's not up, it's down." Nanny Wang pointed to the ground.

"Go down?" Xiao Yezi was even more puzzled.

But Wang Momo refused to say any more, she just shook her head and said, "Hey...these official matters are something that we slaves can't meddle in. Don't ask, don't ask."

Xiao Yezi saw that Wang Momo refused to reveal any more, so she couldn't ask further questions.But she thought to herself, since Mother Wang didn't refute the matter of delivering meals just now, then there must be other people hiding in the underground of Yuqing Palace.Nanny Wang took the extra meals and decided to send them to others. As long as I keep an eye on Nanny Wang, I will definitely gain something.
