Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 1066 The Extra Story of Chu Mingxuan and Jin He (21)

Zhang Xue'e looked at the two little maids and asked, "Which one of you is serving me?"

"Yes, it's a servant girl." The oval-faced court lady replied tremblingly, "The servant girl's name is Yunyu."

Zhang Xue'e was very satisfied with the fear on Yunyu's face, she stood up and said to Jin He: "Sister Jin, I'm going back to my room first."

"Send off Sister Zhang." After seeing Zhang Xue'e leave, Jin He looked back at the round-faced court lady, "What's your name?"

"My maidservant Qingwen, under the order of Aunt An Lian to serve Young Master Jin." The tone was still neither humble nor overbearing.

The maids are selected once a year, and the number of each time is hundreds of people, to replace the maids who leave the palace every year when they reach their age.Palace ladies come from good families of Baiding origin, most of them enter the palace at a young age, learn etiquette, singing and dancing in the harem, and after passing the assessment, they are assigned to various palaces or bureaus according to their qualifications.Those who can serve in front of Xiu Nu must have been in the palace for at least two years.

This little maid named Qingwen is calm and generous, which suits Jin He's wishes very well.Jin He stepped forward to help Qingwen up, and said with a smile, "I saw all the movements you made just now."

Qingwen froze, quickly raised her eyes to look at Jin He, then quickly looked down at her toes.

When she knelt on the ground to plead guilty just now, she did secretly press Yunyu's hand, implying that Yunyu should not speak, lest she say something wrong in a panic and cause innocent disasters. The reason for the masters, I don't want to be seen by Jin Xiaozhu, and I pointed it out bluntly.

"The intention of Xiaozhu Jin's words is unclear, and it seems to be a beating." Qingwen secretly guessed in his heart, "As Aunt An Lian reminded me before, this job of serving the young master is not easy to do. Zhang Xiaozhu is a powerful person. Suppressing, is it possible that Jin Xiaozhu is a person who makes people smile on the surface, but is actually hiding traitors in secret? If this is the case, wouldn't the future be like walking on eggshells?"

"I like you very much." Jin He's words interrupted Qingwen's meditation, "As long as you treat me with sincerity, I will return it with sincerity."

"Yes, Young Master Jin." Qing Wen respectfully responded, but the doubts in his heart never dissipated.

"Master Zhang came over to talk just now, and I haven't had time to pack my luggage." Jin He pointed to the four black lacquered copper lock boxes placed side by side on the floor, "Come and help me."

"Yes, Young Master Jin."

Qingwen took the key chain and opened the cage, quickly picked up the clothes inside, put them neatly in the closet, and placed the frequently used jewelry box on the dressing table.

Jin He didn't stay idle either, and started to clean up with Qingwen.The things she brought into the palace were basically left where they belonged.One of the cages contained some valuables, so it was not opened, and was moved to a corner with the other cages.

Taking a handkerchief to wipe off the thin sweat on his forehead, Jin He sat down at the table.Qingwen quickly brewed fragrant tea and presented it.

Jin He picked up his teacup and took a sip.This tea has a delicate fragrance, slightly astringent in the mouth, leaves lingering sweetness after swallowing, and the water temperature is just right.She took another sip before putting down the teacup, and asked Qingwen who was standing respectfully aside: "Where are you from, and what year did you enter the palace?"

Qing Wen nodded and lowered his eyebrows and replied: "The servant is from Mulan Village, Anping County, Hedong Road. Jiazhi entered the palace in March of the 18th year."

Jin He also grew up in the countryside, and knows that most of the villagers are simple and honest, especially the girls from Jiji's family, who are more straightforward and cute, without too much scheming.This year is Jiazhi's 21st year, and Qingwen has been in the palace for three years, and he is already familiar with the rules and taboos in the palace.Her cautiousness and distrust of others should have been cultivated by years of living in the palace.
