Chapter 12
The chamberlain next to the fifth prince said with some uncertainty: "I didn't look carefully just now, but I think it must be that one, right?"

Jinse had his head down most of the time just now, and the light outside was dark, so he definitely couldn't see clearly.

But, come to think of it, no one would dare to borrow the name Jinse so openly?
The fifth prince pondered for a while and nodded.

However, he then ordered: "Go back and check out the palace maid named Jinse!".

Naturally, Jinse didn't know that he was already being noticed by the fifth prince.

After she hurried back to the west small room, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. After drinking another cup of cold tea, her mood calmed down.

She didn't know what happened to her just now, but she was actually a little afraid of facing the fifth prince!
It was obvious that she had met His Highness for the first time today!
If she said it was because of the other prince's status, Jinse knew clearly that it was not because of this.

After all, she had met other princes and princesses, but no matter which one she met, she had never felt as strange as before.

After racking his brain, Jinse couldn't figure out what was wrong with him for a moment.

After putting this matter aside, Jinse became upset again.

When she came back in a hurry just now, she couldn't wait for the Twelve Prince and Lin Shun, and the medicine in her hand hadn't been sent out yet!

Look at the sky that has completely darkened outside...

I also know that if I go back now, it will definitely be impossible!
Jinse sighed, thinking that the medicine could only be delivered tomorrow.

After resting for a while, Jinse got up and carried the kettle to the corner room.

But as luck would have it, Jin Se met Chun Ying at the door of the corner room again.

At this moment, Chunying was coming out of the corner room carrying hot water. Probably because she was walking in a hurry and didn't pay much attention, the two of them bumped into each other.

Fortunately, Jinse reacted quickly enough and took two steps back in a hurry to avoid being splashed by the hot water in Chunying's hand.

Chunying also almost fell. When she regained her footing, she looked up and saw Jinse, and said angrily: "What are you doing in such a hurry? You don't have eyes, and you almost hit me!".

Jinse said neither salty nor blandly: "To each other!".

"Who and you are talking to each other, huh!"

Chunying rolled her eyes, looked at Jinse, and suddenly let out a strange ooh, and asked with a half-smile, "Are you here to bring hot water too?"

Jinse didn't want to answer such an obvious question.

Chunying didn't care much, and continued with a smile: "That's really embarrassing. I didn't expect you to come to bring hot water now, but there is no hot water in the water room. I'm afraid you have to heat it yourself. !".

As if on purpose, Chunying said, and gestured to Jinse with the hot water bottle in her hand.

Jin Se paused in her steps and did not look back at Chunying. She just said lightly that it was okay, then walked around her and entered the corner room.

Chunying felt unhappy because she wanted to disgust someone but didn't. After a while of luck, she returned to her east room hummingly.

Chun Ya was cleaning the house. When she saw Chun Ying coming back angrily, she secretly glanced at her.

Chunying put the hot water bottle on and hummed: "Look at what I'm doing. I got the hot water back. Why don't you hurry up and get some cold water? I'm going to bed after washing!".

It's freezing at night, so it would be wise to wash your feet in warm water and go to bed early.

Chunya didn't say anything, nodded and went to fetch water.

In the corner room, there really was no hot water at all.

Jinse didn't care at all. He took a big iron pot, added water and started to boil it.Anyway, it's not a troublesome thing. She just happened to be warming up by the stove and keeping herself warm.

Probably because the stove is often turned on to heat hot water in this hot water room, it is much warmer here than her small room in the west.

While Jinse was waiting for the water to boil, he was passing the time by the fire. While he was relaxing, he saw someone else walking in.

As soon as the visitor entered the house, he stopped when he saw someone else in the water room.

After looking Jinse up and down, the man asked: "I haven't seen you before, so you are the new Jinse who moved here two days ago?".

This person is Dong Ju who lives in the back hall and is the second-class maid of Emperor Zhao Palace.

In this Sui'an Courtyard, in terms of seniority, the one who has lived the longest is Xia He who lives in the east wing.

And secondly, the most senior person is this one named Dong Ju.

However, although Jinse had lived in Sui'an Yuan for a few days, it was only today that he saw Dongju in person for the first time.

Listening to Dong Ju's question, Jinse nodded and replied: "I am Jinse, I wonder who this girl is?".

Dong Ju raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at her up and down, and said, "My name is Dong Ju, and I live in the back room. Maybe I'm usually on duty during the day, so you probably haven't seen me before!" ".

Jinse nodded and called out: "It turns out to be Miss Dongju.".

Dong Ju hummed, looked around, and finally looked at the kettle of hot water that was boiling, and asked, "Why, the hot water ran out so early today?"

Jinse just nodded in agreement and didn't say much else.

Dong Ju didn't mean to ask any more questions, and just said: "Are you keeping the hot water boiling? Since you are here, please help me boil an extra pot. I will come and get it in a moment!"

She said she was troubling others for help, but Dong Ju didn't seem to be troubling others at all, and her attitude could be said to be quite casual.

As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Ju turned around and left without waiting for Jin Se to respond.

Jinse was silent for a moment.

She didn't expect that Dong Ju would have such a temper...

Of course, Jin Se didn't think that being ordered around by Dong Ju was something that hurt her self-esteem and was hard to accept.

Or it can be said that she just doesn't care about this little thing.

So seeing Dongju leaving, Jinse just paused, then naturally poured another pot of cold water, lit the stove and started cooking it slowly.

Anyway, let's boil a kettle of water. It's not a big deal for her to help with such a trivial matter.

However, after Jinse's own pot of water boiled, Jinse naturally picked up the hot water kettle and went back to his small west room.

As for the other pot of water that is still boiling...

Then Dong Ju just asked her to help boil a pot of water, right?The other party didn't tell her that she had to wait until the water boiled, and he even had to remember to bring it to her room.

So, let’s burn it!
So, after Dong Ju went back to her room and rested leisurely for a long time, she started to feel sleepy and her hands and feet felt cold, but she never saw Jin Se bringing her water.

When she couldn't wait any longer, she got up and went to the hot water room to see if she was okay. The pot of water on the stove in the hot water room was almost boiled dry and only half of it was left.

Dong Ju just stared at the half-pot of hot water and stood there for a while before carrying it away with a soft chuckle.
