The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 626 What is the truth?

Ever since meeting Ji Qiong today, Bo Shuang's heart has never been able to calm down.

Bo Shuang went to pour water for a few people, but was stopped by the maid, who did it for her.

And after putting down the boxes in their hands, several maids started to get busy and began to clean up the entire room.

Bo Shuang tried to stop her, but was interrupted by Nanny Hui before she could say anything.

Madam Hui said, "Miss Bo Shuang, we are not strangers, so you don't need to bother us. Sit down and have a rest. This is all Ba Zi's order."

Bo Shuang had no choice but to sit down awkwardly.

Madam Hui smiled and said, "Miss Bo Shuang, you know the situation in our palace. We are short of money and goods. I really have my reasons for not taking good care of you. Please forgive me."

Bo Shuang waved her hands hurriedly: "Madam, what are you talking about? Bo Shuang and I are grateful to the Eighth Son and the elder sisters in the palace for taking care of us. We are grateful and have no other intentions. Bo Shuang knows all the difficulties in the palace."

Madam Hui nodded repeatedly and said with a gentle smile, "Of course, I know that young lady is definitely not that kind of person."

"Today, a eunuch brought some money and goods as a reward for the Eighth Son."

"Bazi asked me to prepare some silk and brocade. I will measure the girl and the child and make them some clothes. I also brought some jewelry and cosmetics. Please pack them yourself."

Madam Hui smiled more and more brightly, and said, "A fairy-like beauty like the young lady is indeed too plain and simple on weekdays. It's not bad to be plain and simple, but the young lady is in her prime, so she should dress up well, so that she can show her elegance more."

"Women, beauty is never a fault. On the contrary, beauty is one of the most important advantages of women."

"How many people would not dare to dream of being as beautiful as a girl like this."

Bo Shuang opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

A gentleman can be deceived.

If faced with oppression from a powerful force, Bo Shuang would rather die than live in disgrace.

But Ji Qiong had been treating her well and taking good care of her during this period, and now he was even more caring and generous in his rewards. He was also very considerate and had taken both her and the child into consideration. She wanted to refuse, but looking at the child, she couldn't say no.

Although she and Ji Qiong had very different identities and lives, they could be said to be in the same boat.

Ji Qiong's father was executed, and her three clans were exterminated. She went from being a favored daughter of heaven to being hated by everyone in an instant. Her status rose and fell greatly, and her son, who was a prince, has now changed his temperament. In a sense, she is even more miserable than Bo Shuang.

But Ji Qiong let it go and stopped thinking about it. The pressure Ji Qiong was under was even greater than hers, but she didn't say anything and just gritted her teeth to get on with her life.

For the sake of the children and the whole family, Bo Shuang's behavior is understandable.

So now Bo Shuang really has no way to refuse Ji Qiong's kindness, even though she knows that it is a kindness with a purpose.

The kindness now was purposeful, but the help before was sincere. Before confirming Ying Zheng's attitude, Ji Qiong took risks in caring for Bo Shuang.

Bo Shuang looked at Jiang Zaoyue in Nanny Hui's arms. The child should be full soon, but he was still greedily eating the milk and honey cheese. The child had never had a sip of milk or eaten anything delicious since he was born, let alone the delicacies specially prepared for babies in the palace.

Looking at her daughter, Bo Shuang's eyes turned red.

Bo Shuang smiled bitterly, gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes trembled, closed and opened again, lowered her head and looked to the side, and said softly:

"Madam Hui, please tell Ba Zi that I will never be able to repay Ba Zi's kindness in this lifetime. I, I want to be transferred to Ba Zi's side as a personal maid, please help me!"

Bo Shuang gritted his teeth and finished speaking.

After hearing this, Aunt Hui was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, saying happily: "Young lady is a sensible person, it's good to let it go. It's good to let it go for many things, not only for yourself, but also for the children."

"In this Xianyang Palace, there is only one sky. Outside of Xianyang Palace, there is also only one sky."

"Only one person can call the shots."

"As long as that person is happy, the sun will shine everywhere. Whoever the sun shines on will have a bright future."

Bo Shuang smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.

Madam Hui looked at Bo Shuang's expression and kindly advised, "Miss, please forgive me for being so nosy. I said something I shouldn't have said. For some things, if you have made up your mind, you should do it well, otherwise it's better not to do it. If you are unwilling to do it, it will only make everyone unhappy, and a good thing will turn into a bad thing."

"I am not forcing you, and no one will force you. I know that no one can force someone like you. It is said that the only difficulty in life is death, but the girl is not afraid of death."

"If you are not afraid of death, why should you be afraid of living? Maybe living is really hard and tiring, but a lot of the hardship and entanglement are self-inflicted. If you think about it carefully, if you look beyond it, many of them are unnecessary."

"Girl, think about it carefully. Even if you become Ba Zi's personal maid, it's not too late to regret it."

"I watched Ba Zi grow up. He is kind-hearted. Even if you don't want to, he will help you."

Bo Shuang nodded and thanked sincerely: "Thank you for your teaching, Madam Hui. I understand everything."

Aunt Hui's eyes narrowed as she smiled, looking even kinder.

"My young lady is very smart. I have said too much. How could you not understand these principles?"

Bo Shuang forced a smile. He understood the truth, but it was too difficult to put it into practice. Moreover, some of the truths in this world were not so reasonable, and some were entangled in other truths, making it difficult to sort out the truth.

After Nanny Hui fed the child, she handed him over to Bo Shuang. Several maids had almost finished cleaning up. The hut was not big, and Bo Shuang was usually diligent and clean. Now they just added some furniture and decorations, and replaced the bedding with better and more comfortable ones.

However, a lot of new furniture and decorations have been added, and at second glance, it does have a brand new feel.

After seeing off a few people, Bo Shuang held Jiang Zaoyue in her arms, staring at the child who was still licking the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that although he was full, he had not eaten enough.

Bo Shuang sat at the table, took out a spoon and scooped up a little bit of the cream cheese. Although Aunt Hui had brought a lot, she only scooped up a little bit, less than the size of her little finger nail, and gently put it into her mouth to taste it.

Very sweet and fragrant. No wonder my daughter likes it.

child, my child.

What is the truth after all?
Bo Shuang hugged Jiang Zaoyue tightly, tears flowing silently without control.

The children, who had eaten their fill, fell asleep contentedly.

She couldn't see her mother's tears.

Everything was fine on Bo Shuang's side. Just as Bo Shuang left, Ju Rong was summoned over by Ji Qiong.

Ji Qiong was not so polite to her.

Ju Rong had a rare good sleep. Every time, only Ying Zheng came over. Everyone in Bugao Palace was worried that Ju Rong and Bo Shuang would anger Ying Zheng, so they asked them to hide in the house and not go out.

Similarly, everyone in the palace focused their attention on Ying Zheng, so people like Ju Rong didn't have to do so much work and could have a good night's sleep.

Last night, Ying Zheng's attitude towards them was relaxed, which allowed them to temporarily avoid being tormented. Although she met Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng's attitude and treatment of them, as well as his treatment of Ju Xin, made Ju Rong grateful, and her emotions were mixed, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

But Ju Rong was really too tired, and her heart was at peace, so she slept well. This was the first time she had a sound sleep since she had hidden in the State of Chu.

But she didn't wake up late, after all, she was used to getting up early. Ju Rong got up shortly after Ying Zheng got up to attend the morning court.

The three younger sisters and daughter were still sleeping soundly. Ju Rong kissed her two daughters carefully, got up, washed up, tidied her clothes, and prepared to continue her busy day.

Although no one called them to get up today, as long as someone saw them, there would definitely be work to do.

Sure enough, I was immediately called over to fetch water.

Under normal circumstances, don't expect to be idle for the rest of the day.

As for eating, I would take some time to go to the cafeteria to get some food and eat while working.

Just when Ju Rong was busy washing clothes, Ji Qiong's personal maid summoned her to meet her.

Ju Rong had no choice but to pack up and rush to see Ji Qiong.

At this time, Bo Shuang had just left not long ago, Ji Qiong had just finished instructing Nanny Hui, and then lay down on the bed again, not wanting to move at all.

It is true that I am so tired that I have no strength left. It is also true that I just said a lot of caring words to Bo Shuang. Now I feel an indescribable melancholy in my heart.

She also felt a little guilty. She felt a little aggrieved for scheming against Bo Shuang.

When Ju Rong entered the bedroom, she just glanced at the bed and immediately lowered her head, not daring to look again.

"This servant greets Ba Zi."

This voice brought Ji Qiong back to her senses. Ji Qiong calmed down and said softly, "Get up."

Ju Rong stood up with her head down, and Ji Qiong shook her jade arm weakly, asking her to come closer.

Ju Rong took small steps forward and smelled the scent that made her blush and her heart beat faster. She turned her head to the side and even slowed down her breathing. She was still five or six feet away from Ji Qiong's bed.

Ji Qiong frowned in dissatisfaction and patted the bed: "Come up, come to me."

Ju Rong looked at the bed and complained bitterly. She only had two sets of clothes, and she hadn't had time to wash the one she took off. If she climbed up now, she would have nothing to wear.

But she had to obey Ji Qiong's order. She sighed in her heart, took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed and knelt down obediently.

When Ji Qiong looked at his sister-in-law, he thought of Yan Dan, and he got angry when he thought of Yan Dan!

It's all because of him!

But there is no need to get angry now, the future is more important.

Ji Qiong looked at her sister-in-law carefully, and admired her secretly in her heart. She had suffered a lot for half a year, and she couldn't even get enough food to eat. She was wearing a straw hat, a cloth skirt, and a coarse linen shirt, and had no makeup on.

She has suffered a lot these days and has become thinner and haggard, but even so simple and clean, she can still be said to be a stunning beauty, pure and elegant, with a firm and bright eyes, which is truly rare.
