daughter in power

Chapter 98
The red plum blossoms are in full bloom, and Qiqi walks all the way, just like that day.

That day, in order to save Ruixi who was seriously ill, she came here with a food box.

Now, she is the one who wants to come here to live.

She sighed slightly, thinking of Emperor Wuwei's forgiveness to Gao and Jiang's family, she couldn't help feeling silent.

It would probably be good to go back to Lizhou Mansion after three years of watching the flower maids finish.

After all, she is only 15 years old now, still very young.

At least, the Gao family and the Jiang family are finally safe.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she thought of King Xiaoyang inexplicably, and for some reason, there was an unknown sadness hidden in her heart.

The tile house soon arrived, the door was open, and the cobwebs were still hanging from it.

Everything was still the same as when she was taken away by Eunuch Shun.

The queen said that she sent someone to deliver the medicine, but she didn't deliver it at all?

Qiqi walked in quickly, and hurried into the inner room.

It was pitch black, and a ray of skylight penetrated through the half-closed windows, unable to illuminate the gloomy inner room.

There was no one on the bed.

On the empty bed, there were only two wooden boards, and the quilt and other things had been discarded long ago.

Qiqi blinked, and saw that her salute was on the floor next to the bed.

It was snowing, and there was no earth dragon or heater in this house, so it was so cold to the bone.

Her salute was thrown carelessly on the ground, mixed with the damp in the room, messy like a pile of unowned garbage.

Many brocade boxes and parcels were opened, revealing the miscellaneous things inside.

The clothes and quilts were in a mess, and the jewelry and handkerchiefs were thrown all over the floor.

Apparently, the person who brought her the salute moved her bag and stole her valuables.

She went up, and sure enough, she saw that there was nothing in the jewelry box, and there was no trace of silver bills or ingots.

Even the slightly better juan handkerchiefs and clothes are gone.

"Ah……"

She couldn't help sneering.

The people in this palace are actually more vicious than the hooligans in the outside world.

She raised her head, tried to calm down her breathing, and began to recuperate slowly.

There are only three tiled houses in total, and there is only one bed in total. If she doesn't live here, if she doesn't sleep here, she really has no place to go.

Thinking of Ruixi's scorched face dying that day, her heart couldn't help but tighten.

There is a well in the plum garden, and the well water is warm, just for washing.

Qiqi cleaned the whole tile house, opened the window, and arranged her quilt and clothes neatly, she was already exhausted.

The sky is dark, and I don't know what time it is.

She leaned against the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, the world was pitch black, and the room was also pitch black.

She opened her eyes and looked at the open window, Ruixi's scorched face suddenly appeared in her mind.

that dead man.

She blinked, walked to the table, and lit the half-black candle.

The candlelight was dim, and there was finally a little warmth in the room.

Walking to the window, he stretched out his hand to close the window, so as not to let the cold air invade.

She was going to go out to find something to eat.

She said that food and clothing are taken care of, but she has been here for a day, but no one has explained to her a word.

Not to mention food, half of the candle was Ruixi's before he died.

The people in the palace probably thought she was dead long ago.

Go out, the sky is dark, the wind and snow stop early.

I thought I could walk around under the light of Bai Xue, but who knew that Bai Xue had already turned into a wet place.

The sky was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

With her sharp eyesight, she turned out of the plum garden, followed the direction of her memory, and walked towards the imperial dining room.

Emperor Wuwei removed her name from the Huanhua Pavilion and personally ordered her to come to the Plum Garden to see flowers. The imperial dining room should have her regular meals.

She thought, eating will never be a problem.

Since no one remembers her, she is remembered by others.

When we arrived at the imperial dining room, the whole courtyard was very quiet.

It was probably because the weather was too cold. After dinner, the people here also went back to their rooms to rest.

Qiqi walked into the open door, saw that there was still a light in the west room, so she hurriedly walked over.

After going up the steps, all the wing rooms turned out to be large stoves.

There are no less than twenty stoves, and a red fire is simmering inside, which is very warm.

A palace lady was waiting at the stove by the door to make soup, dozing off while waiting.

Qiqi stepped forward, looked at the other person's appearance, and said gently: "Sister?"

Gong'e was startled, she raised her head, seeing Qiqi's attire, she hesitated and said, "You..."

"I'm a maidservant in the plum garden. I didn't have dinner tonight, so I wanted to find something to eat." Qiqi replied.

Gong'e smiled and relaxed a bit: "Why did you miss the meal?"

Qiqi blinked, but said nothing.

She doesn't even know when the meal is, so how can she say that she should miss it.

She didn't speak, and the maid stood up: "I'm making soup for Concubine Shu. If you want to eat, go to the cabinet and see what else is there. The soup will be ready in a while, and you can heat it up on the stove." One heat."

Qiqi was very grateful: "Thank you very much. I don't know how to call my sister?"

Gong'e smiled sweetly: "I am the last maid in the imperial dining room, and my position is only one level higher than yours. I'm sorry if you call me elder sister, so you can call me Shuang'er."

Qiqi nodded: "My name is...Qiqi."

"Qiqi?" Shuang'er was startled, and said in surprise, "You are that Jiang Qiqi who didn't choose a lady?"

I really didn't expect that she would be so famous, even the lowly palace lady in the imperial dining room knew her origin.

She smiled embarrassedly: "It's me."

With a face full of helplessness, Shuang'er naturally understood.

"Don't think too much, the meal in the imperial dining room is fixed. Let's not talk about the masters of the palaces, just the servants of the whole palace. Get lunch, dinner is at the end of the unitary hour, if you miss it, you will really be gone."

Qiqi blinked: "Do you want me to pick it up myself?"

"I don't need it in the first place. The women who are in the top rank are all delivered by the imperial dining room. The concubines who are not in the rank are all picked up by the maids in the courtyards themselves."

She paused slightly: "As for the servants, if they have official titles, they will be given by the imperial dining room. If they don't have official titles, if there are many people, they will be picked up in shifts. If there are few people, they can only pick them up by themselves."

There is only Qiqi in Meiyuan, who will give her food except herself.

She nodded: "I see."

But, where did the bowls and chopsticks come from?
Shuang'er understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "If you don't have bowls and chopsticks, I'll give you a pair."

After the meal problem was solved, Qiqi was in a good mood, and saluted Shuang'er: "Thank you so much."

If you just take care of Gu Meiyuan, there is actually no heavy work.

It's just guarding the plum garden, don't lose the plum tree, don't lose the tile house.

Or, the empress in the palace came to inform twice and asked her to help cut the plum blossom screen.

Qiqi calmed down a bit, and accompanied Shuang'er to boil soup, picked out a small pot, and put the food found in the cabinet on the stove to heat it up.

Shuang'er said: "I'm going to deliver soup to Concubine Shu, please help me watch for a while."

Needless to say, Qiqi also has to be guarded.She couldn't heat up the food and take it back to the plum garden to eat.

In this cold weather, if I really brought such a small amount of food back to Meiyuan, it must have been frozen into ice.

She nodded in agreement, and watched Shuang'er walk out of the imperial dining room, put up the hot food, and put the stove back on.

With the food in hand, he just sat on the stool and ate.

As soon as she moved her chopsticks, someone said at the door: "Xiu Nu didn't finish her dinner, do you have anything to eat?"

The voice is high and high, it seems to be more noble than the queen.

Qiqi raised her eyes, looked at the two who entered the door, and frowned.

Before she opened her mouth, the person at the door teased: "Hey, where is the vulgar maid who eats like a pig?"

Qiqi's face turned cold, she didn't answer, she turned around with the food in her hand.

She just pretended not to see it.

"Presumptuous! Jiang Qiqi, don't you even salute me when you see my lady? Be careful, I will report to the Empress Empress and put you in the violent room for hard labor!"

This person spoke viciously and kept pestering him. It was Jing Rourou, the beautiful girl from Huanhua Pavilion.

A luxuriant fellow countryman.

People say that when a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears.

It stands to reason that they should be very harmonious friends.

But Jing Rourou's treatment of her was just like another way of saying that a fellow villager sees a fellow villager and shoots in the back.

I wish she was dead.

Qiqi pretended not to hear, turned around and wanted to leave.

She just can't be bothered to pay attention.

however……

Jing Rourou stopped her suddenly, overturned the food in her hand, and said viciously: "My lady is not full yet, you only care about filling your stomach. Hurry up and cook, my lady wants to eat three delicacies, a special product of Lizhou Mansion Sweet water noodles!"

The food was spilled all over the floor, but Qiqi was hungry all day.

Hot air billowed up, like the deepest joke in this cold night.

Through the hot smoke, Qiqi raised her eyes, stared at Jing Rourou, and suddenly grabbed her by the neck.

Jing Rourou turned pale with fright, desperately scratched her fingers, and shouted: "Help..."

Gong'e, who came here with Jing Rourou, saw this and yelled loudly: "Killer, Jiang Qiqi..."

The shouting stopped abruptly.

Gong'e fell to the ground with a bang.

Jing Rourou became more and more frightened, and forgot to scratch Qiqi's fingers.

Not to mention Jing Rourou, even Qiqi herself was taken aback.

Originally, she just wanted to teach this ignorant fellow countryman a lesson, but who knew she hadn't strangled the fellow countryman to death, but killed a palace lady instead.

She let go of her fingers quickly, and Jing Rourou didn't care to make things difficult for her.

The two went to see the fallen Gong'e together.

Stretching out her hand to test Gong'e's breath, Qiqi was startled again.

She turned her head and stared at Jing Rourou: "Dead."

"Ah..." Jing Rourou yelled, staggered and fell to the ground: "I...it's not me, it has nothing to do with me...I just asked her to accompany me to the imperial dining room to make pastries, I..."

She just wanted to be favored by Emperor Wuwei as soon as possible, so she wanted to come here late at night, make cakes for Emperor Wuwei with her own hands, and send them to him tomorrow morning.

She just happened to meet Qiqi who was cooking a meal, so she wanted to bully others.

She absolutely never thought of killing the maid who was close to her, let alone being killed.

But now, her Gong'e died, and both she and Qiqi had witnessed Gong'e's death, so they couldn't be separated.

If Dali Temple comes to investigate tomorrow, she dare not imagine the consequences.

Jing Rourou was shocked: "Jiang Qiqi...you, you..."

Although she has a little money, and even though she has a beautiful appearance, her heart is obviously not peaceful.

Qiqi's eyes flashed, she looked at Gong'e's pale face, and said hesitantly: "Now, we've 'killed' people together, you..."

There are footsteps approaching, I don't know who it is, but it is very light.

The two were startled, and Jing Rourou almost screamed.
