Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 145 Little Shunzi

On the day of the Empress Dowager's funeral, the snow that had been lingering for more than a month stopped, and the winter sun was rarely exposed.

The sun shining on the snow is particularly dazzling.The snow and ice that had condensed on the branches seemed to gradually dissipate taking advantage of this opportunity, and everything returned to a prosperous appearance.

Spring, after all, is coming.

Tong Jia Xili stood on the tower, watching the people escorting the golden coffin gradually go away.

In general, life is spent constantly saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Standing on the tower with Tong Jia Xili, Yinzhen put a cloak in his hand on Tong Jia Xili's body.

"It seems that the wind is blowing." Yinzhen looked at Tong Jia Xili's still sad side face, and said, "The funeral procession is about to disappear, let's go back too."

Tong Jia Xili nodded, and followed Yinzhen back to Chengqian Palace.

After the Compassion Palace was vacant, the empress dowager who was originally placed in the Shoukang Palace should have moved there.But the Empress Dowager was used to living in Shoukang Palace, and she didn't want to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to touch the scenery, so she simply stayed in Shoukang Palace.

In Chengqian Palace, the empress leaned on the imperial concubine chair with a haggard face.

When Tong Jia Xili and Yinzhen entered the main hall, the queen lowered her eyes slightly, she seemed to be in a bad mood, and her complexion was a little pale.

Since these days of mourning, the queen led the concubines to bow down every day, and also dealt with various matters in the funeral ceremony, so she was naturally very busy.

Now it's hard to get over it, and I'm back in my palace.Naturally, such a tiredness could no longer be hidden.

"Emperor lady."

When Yinzhen came back, he happened to see such a scene.Heartbroken, she hurriedly stepped forward to the queen's side, and asked in condolence, "Are you tired?"

The queen raised her eyes and saw Yinzhen coming back, she hurriedly restrained her exhausted expression, pulled herself together and said, "I must be a little tired these few days. Rest for a few days, and you'll be fine."

Yinzhen nodded, just as Dongyun outside brought ginseng soup from the small kitchen, he served the queen to drink it.

"After the empress dowager passed away, the emperor talked about Madam Su Mala."

Dong Yun reported what happened before, and said: "I originally wanted Madam Su Ma to go to Shoukang Palace to find a side hall to live in for the rest of her life, but she missed the Empress Dowager, so she said she would stay in Ci Ning Gong sweeps."

The queen drank a bowl of ginseng soup, and said with emotion: "The friendship between Madam Su Ma and the Empress Dowager is extraordinary. But staying in the Palace of Compassion and Peace like this...is not beneficial to the mood after all."

Can you not feel sad when facing the spirit of a dead person?

Tong Jia Xili sighed silently.These days, if anyone is said to be the most devout and mournful person during the vigil, it must be Aunt Su Mala.

"Auntie, why don't you ask your niece to persuade her?" Tong Jia Xili thought for a while and said, "Now the Empress Dowager has just passed the funeral, and there are many things to be busy."

"Aunt Su Mala knows her niece well anyway, so it's only right to persuade her."

"Go." The queen waved her hands and stood up, and with Yinzhen's support, she went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.

Walking out of Chengqian Palace, the sun outside is still so bright, and the snow is still a bit dazzling.

The white lanterns hanging on both sides of the palace road were already being taken down one by one by eunuchs and maids using ladders.It seems to declare that everything is going back to the past.

In the distance, at the corner of the palace road.An older eunuch was reciting the list in a rhythmic tone, as if he was arranging the whereabouts of the young eunuchs and maids in front of him.

Some are new to the palace, and some are separated from the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Tong Jia Xili sat on the shoulders and looked out, and suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure.

That night, the little eunuch who snuggled up next to the charcoal fire and helped Tong Jia Xili get the charcoal basin was standing among the crowd, looking forward to where he was going.

"Xiao Shunzi, the Clothes Bureau—"

When the chief eunuch told where he was going, the young eunuch named Xiao Shunzi obviously had a bitter expression on his face.

Those who came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, logically speaking, their destinations would not be too bad.And a place like the Huanyi Bureau...you have to wash clothes every day, so it's really not a good place.

Xiao Shunzi, who drooped his head, was a little sad.Perhaps because I went to the Huanyi Bureau, there were fewer monthly cases, so I couldn't send them home.

When assigning personnel, he was reluctant to give money out.Now I suddenly feel a little regretful, I would have known that I would have missed it a little bit earlier.

"Get off the sedan chair."

Tong Jia Xili frowned, and stopped in front of the crowd.

The chief eunuch Xu Shi heard the movement behind him, so he turned around and took a look.

Tong Jia Xili's clothes are plain and clean, but she can't see any noble and prominent status.But the people who served her were all of good quality, which made people dare not ignore her in the slightest.

"this…"

"This is Tong Gege." Mu Sang said: "In the former Ci Ning Palace, the Tong Gege who was next to the Empress Dowager."

With such an introduction, no one in the palace would naturally know about it.He didn't deliberately emphasize his identity, but it was just right to make people feel awe.

"It turned out to be Tong Gege." The eunuch said apologetically, "I don't know if Tong Gege has any orders."

Xiao Shunzi raised his head and looked at Tong Jia Xili quietly.Recalling the Gege who cared about him that night, I feel even more grateful in my heart.

"It's nothing." Tong Jia Xi Li said: "I've seen this little Shunzi before, and he did things properly. It's a pity to send him to the Clothes Bureau."

"It just so happens that the empress is planning to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a eunuch to Si elder brother's side. I think Xiao Shunzi is very good."

Recently, there is a lack of a young eunuch who takes care of daily life and does chores around Yinzhen.It was a good choice for this little Shunzi to learn from Su Peisheng's side.

The eldest lady listened to the words, so naturally she would not object, she hurriedly pulled Xiao Shunzi forward and said, "Xiao Shunzi, this is your blessing, why don't you hurry up and thank you?"

Xiao Shunzi didn't seem to have thought that Tong Jia Xili came here for him, and only realized it after being dragged, and immediately kowtowed to Tong Jia Xili in tears of gratitude.

"Thank you Tong Gege, thank you Tong Gege, the little one must devote himself to death!"

Xiao Shunzi kowtowed constantly, looking very sincere.

Tong Jia Xili couldn't help smiling, and hurriedly asked Mu Sang to help him up, and said: "Your master in the future is not me, but the fourth elder brother. When facing the fourth elder brother, you must have this kind of heart, you know?" ?”

"The servant knows!"

PS:

Xi Li: Yinzhen, I found you a reliable little eunuch and come back~
Yinzhen: Mmm, Xili is the best for me.

Su Peisheng: God, am I about to fall out of favor?Brother Si, this servant will help you catch fish~
Yinzhen:? ? ?
