Youxi, the maid of space

Chapter 5

Just after serving the imperial concubine and empress's meal, Ziyue was finally relieved after a meal of disgust, but the next second, the imperial concubine asked Ziyue to find a soft couch and put it in the yard, so she could take a nap while basking in the sun.

Ziyue had never seen such a soft couch since he entered the palace, and he hadn’t even seen its shadow in the cold palace. In desperation, Ziyue had no choice but to go to Aunt Caiqing. Aunt Caiqing was silent for a while, and then let Ziyue Go to serve the imperial concubine first, she will make arrangements.

After a while, when Ziyue was waiting for the noble concubine to come out, there was indeed a soft couch under the densest tree in the yard. Ziyue really admired Aunt Caiqing, how quickly she got a soft couch so quickly, and prepared Tea and fruit were provided.

After serving the imperial concubine to lie down, Zi Yue stood beside her conveniently, which was also a shady place, but it would be great if she could also lie down and take a nap, and she would be served with tea, but I can only think about it.

I don't know if it was just eaten, or what happened today is too annoying, the imperial concubine can't sleep now, Feng Yan picked at Ziyue who was standing next to him like a statue, and asked: "Seeing that you are not young, you used to be Where do you work?"

Zi said his whole body froze, what does the imperial concubine mean? Does she grow old?old!It's a pity that she is only 13 years old, she is as old as a flower bone, how can she be regarded as not young!In fact, Ziyue really thought too much, the concubine was just idle and bored, looking for something to say, in fact, no one had even looked at her directly.

Ziyue recalled that day when the imperial concubine was punished to kneel down in the imperial garden, and looked at the sun outside the shade of the tree, and replied very respectfully: "Before the servant came to Leng Palace, I worked as an errand in the clothing bureau."

"What mistake did you make?" The imperial concubine took a sip of tea and continued to ask.

"When I first entered the palace, I offended a court lady." Zi Yue replied honestly.The imperial concubine is a big boss. Although she is not as good as the emperor, she is still a person. She cannot be offended or lied to. The fact that she just entered the palace can be found out after one investigation, although she doesn't know why the imperial concubine wanted to investigate her.

The imperial concubine put down the teacup, nodded and said: "So there is no backer." She glanced at her sideways, and said: "I think you are good, as long as you serve me honestly, I can take you out of this cold palace."

Zi Yue was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't believe that the pie just fell on her head.It was also at this moment that the imperial concubine thought that Ziyue was questioning her, and said angrily: "What! I don't believe I have this ability!"

The high-pitched voice brought Ziyue back to her senses, she was startled immediately, and knelt down on the ground with a 'plop': "I don't dare, I'm just too happy, I'm so happy, please forgive me!"

There is no way, the official rank crushes people to death, not to mention that there is more than one rank between her and the imperial concubine. When encountering such a thing, she can only abandon her dignity and honestly plead guilty.It has to be said that during the 20 days in the Huanyi Bureau, Ziyue had already accepted the fact that she was a last-class court lady, and told herself to accept this fact.

The noble concubine snorted coldly, and said: "Get up, I forgive you for not questioning what I said." She yawned delicately, and then said: "Do you know why I came back to Lenggong?"

After getting up, Zi said, he lowered his head even more: "This servant is stupid, I don't know why the noble concubine is here in the cold palace."

"It's all that bitch, Concubine Jin!" Speaking of this matter, the noble concubine gritted her teeth and said, as if taking Ziyue as her confidant. Don't look in the mirror to see what kind of thing you are, such a lowly rag, I feel dirty next to it! The emperor believed the word of that bitch, and punished me to copy the female commandment, but I didn't want to punish him. Gong, I will come to the cold palace by myself."

Ziyue was taken aback by the imperial concubine's violent abuse, but after listening to it, she couldn't help but feel ashamed for the imperial concubine, she really has a personality!Facing such a noble concubine, Ziyue couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

"You also think that this palace is doing the right thing!" At this time, the noble concubine had already sat up from the soft couch, staring at Zi Yue.

Immediately, Ziyue felt a little uneasy standing still, and lowered his head even more: "Your servant dare not speak nonsense."

"Forgive your innocence."

After thinking for a while, the Master said: "The imperial concubine is really temperamental, open-minded, not like that kind of hypocritical, pretending person, but the empress is still a little impulsive, the empress is precious, how can she come to this cold palace casually, she should Those who come should be those who are hypocritical and pretending. Your empress must not let the enemies be happy and the loved ones be hurt."

After finishing speaking, Ziyue knelt down on the ground again with a 'putong': "This servant is talkative, and I hope your mother will forgive me."

People like to hear good things. Zi Yue has analyzed that for people in high positions like them, good things must have been heard in the coffin from birth, so they sometimes want to hear the truth, but the truth may not be accepted. , and this kind of high-ranking person is most gratifying to face them with a humble attitude, so after telling the truth, the necessary humility is indispensable.Of course, all of this is due to the fact that she has read novels before.

After hearing Zi Yue's words, the noble concubine's face darkened, and she didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she lay down on the soft couch again and said softly: "Get up, since I forgive you for your innocence, I won't blame you for your words. you."

"Thank you, ma'am." Although what he said was a matter of course, Zi Yue still had to be grateful and grateful.Hey, she has only come to ancient times not long ago, why does she feel more and more like an ancient person!It must be that I read too much ancient Chinese in the past, but now I am personally on the scene, and the sense of substitution is too strong.

Zi said after thinking about it, it must be so!Well, absolutely!

Here Ziyue was thinking wildly, while the noble concubine was muttering to herself: "Enemies are quick, loved ones are hurt, hehe, I have served him for so many years, but he didn't really take me to heart."

Ziyue is not a fool, of course she would not answer the conversation, she is not the imperial concubine's confidant, telling the truth once to get the imperial concubine's attention is already a roll on the knife's edge, and saying the second time is really ignorant, and the life expectancy is really reversed.

However, the concubine's words are very sophisticated, 'he' should refer to the emperor, the concubine has served the emperor for only a few years, how can she say so many years?Could it be that there is something hidden in it, and they have been giving and receiving in secret for a long time?Unable to figure it out, Ziyue didn't think about it anymore, it's none of her business anyway.

The concubine quickly fell asleep after the two of them had nothing to say. Zi Yue could tell from the concubine's sleeping position that she was not sleeping well, and the expression on her face was not at all relaxed.Ziyue is very satisfied with the current life in the cold palace, so he has nothing else to ask for. Now that she sees the imperial concubine like this, she thinks about the intrigues that the concubine and the others said a few days ago, and she has seen so many palace fights, house fights, and family fights. Dou's novel, she suddenly felt that as a little maid in the cold palace, she was considered happy in the palace.

Where did this come from!The master she is serving now has no possibility of turning over, so she doesn't think about calculating this or that all day long, as long as she eats enough and sleeps well, this indirectly causes her to have more free time, and she has time and energy to go to work to earn money. gold coins.

Let's look at the noble concubine again, what about the noble concubine, the first-grade concubine is not reported by the popularity of the cold palace, intrigues all day long, and life is not happy at all.The more he thought about it, Ziyue felt that he was not sad at all. Although life was a bit more difficult, there were fewer worries.

After Ziyue had secretly rejoiced over his own life, the imperial concubine also woke up, and a court lady came in outside, Ziyue felt that she looked familiar, as if she was the big court lady next to the imperial concubine, the one who showed concubine Jin how to greet her.

After Jinran came over, he didn't even look at Ziyue, and directly saluted the noble concubine, who was a little annoyed and said, "Didn't I say that I will stay in the cold palace for three days, what is your order as my palace!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The slaves and servants are here on the orders of the Empress Dowager Shengci to report something." Jinran bent her knees and bowed, very polite.

"Say."

"The Empress Dowager has ordered people to investigate the miscarriage of Concubine Jin. The Empress is innocent, so she specially sent her servants to invite her back to the palace. The Empress Dowager also rewarded her with many things."

The noble concubine raised her eyebrows: "Speak clearly!"

Jin Ran paused, and said: "Miss Jinpin's little day was postponed, she thought she was pregnant, and thought that the month was too shallow, so the doctor didn't find out, it just so happened that on the day that Niangniang bumped into Mistress Jin, Niangniang's little day came. , but the concubine Jin thought that the empress had bumped her into a miscarriage, so she complained to the emperor in tears, and the empress would know what happened after that, even if the servants did not tell her."

"Since the empress came to the Leng Palace, Empress Jinpin cried more and more to the emperor. She didn't say a single bad word about the empress, but said something wrong with herself. The empress dowagers all came, and finally the empress dowager Shengci ordered a thorough investigation. The imperial doctor felt the pulse and found that the concubine Jin did not have a miscarriage at all. .”

Ziyue heard this story, his whole face twitched, this concubine Jin is really unbelievable!

"You idiot, Concubine Jin! Your Majesty, did you just let Concubine Jin go? My grievances are for nothing!" The imperial concubine had a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of ironic smiles, but she did not forget to ask the culprit's ending. how.

Jinran said: "The Empress Dowager Shengci punished the concubine Jin to copy the Buddhist scriptures behind closed doors for three months to comfort the empress who was wronged."

The imperial concubine snorted coldly, waved her hand and said: "I know, you can go back!"

Jinran was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Your Majesty, since the matter has been clarified, is your Majesty still not going back to the palace now? This cold palace is extremely simple, Your Majesty must not be harsh on yourself."

After pondering for a moment, the imperial concubine said coldly: "I want to be quiet for a while, and you can come back at night."

At this moment, Zi Yue suddenly saw that the ironic smile on the corner of the imperial concubine's mouth was very strange.What is the concubine mocking?Sarcastic that the emperor did not make decisions for her and failed to pick her up in person?Ziyue felt that she couldn't get to the bottom of it, because as long as she thought about it, she felt that the imperial concubine was really too sad.

Jinran has followed the imperial concubine since she was a child, and looking at the environment in the cold palace, she frowned and said with concern: "Your Majesty, don't be angry with the emperor. The emperor was only bewitched by the concubine Jin, and the emperor still has his empress in his heart."

At this time, although Jinran was comforting the imperial concubine, she never knew how bitter these seemingly comforting words sounded to the imperial concubine.Have her in your heart?The emperor's heart is cold and hard, and he can't hold anyone!
