A mercenary in the world, a ruthless concubine

Chapter 176 Dismayed
The Leng Palace is far away from the main hall, and there are few people around. No one would pass by that kind of dark and cold place. Qian Yuexin and Qiu Ju originally thought that the Leng Palace was a relatively dilapidated palace, but the palace in reality was different from what they had imagined. Very similar, very different.

The concubines in the harem didn't know how happy they were when they heard the news that Qian Yuexin was thrown into the cold palace. Visitors are all punished with the same crime.Those women don't want to be sidelined for this matter.

Anyway, Qian Yuexin, who was an eyesore, had already been sidelined, so why did they pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.On the other hand, Qian Yuexin only focused on looking at the cold palace in front of her, so she didn't have the heart to think about those women.

Lenggong is actually a relatively cold palace, and it seems to be named Lenggong because of this. It seems that no one has been to this Lenggong for a long time. The yard is full of weeds, and there is a plant of two or three The tall peach tree should have been planted for some years. Because of the arrival of spring, many tender green leaf buds have emerged on the crooked branches, which are very cute like green elves.

The father-in-law who was in charge of leading the way left the two of them in distaste after taking the two of them to the cold palace.She has never had a good impression of this kind of ignorant, villainous person.The things in the cold palace have not been touched for many years, the tables and chairs in the room are covered with dust, and there is an unpleasant musty smell.

Qian Yuexin originally planned to help Qiu Ju clean up, but Qiu Ju didn't agree with anything.Said that she was still pregnant and it was not appropriate to worry about it, because the fetus was not stable in that matter, and she would not forgive herself if something happened.He quickly packed up the tables and chairs made of marble in the yard, put all the luggage he brought on them, and asked Qian Yuexin to sit down before going to work.Qian Yuexin really couldn't talk to her, so she had no choice but to follow her temper.

Because no one came for many years, the ground in the front yard was covered with half-person-high grass.Qian Yuexin personally felt that being idle was idle anyway, so she got up to pull the weeds in the yard.Because the soil in the cold palace is relatively loose, it is easy and effortless to pull it up.

This cold palace is no bigger than Fenglai Palace, it is only one-third the size of Fenglai Palace, it is not too big, and it is not too small.After Qiu Ju had cleaned the room and made the bed, she came out and was about to let Qian Yuexin go in to rest. Unexpectedly, Qian Yuexin had pulled out most of the weeds in the yard in her spare time, and there were still some small wild flowers on the ground. .

Seeing that Qian Yuexin was sweating profusely and panting, Qiu Ju was terrified. Qiu Ju hurried over to help Qian Yuexin sit down, and then went to the well to fetch a bucket of water to soak. After the sweat towel was wet, it was passed to Qian Yuexin.Before Qian Yuexin took the sweat towel and wiped off the sweat, Qiu Ju began to mutter. "Your Majesty, how can you do this? You can leave these rough jobs to your servants to sort them out. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Qian Yuexin wiped off the fine beads of sweat on her forehead before she said, "Qiu Ju, everyone in this world can call me Empress Empress, except you. I hope someone will remember that I was originally from the Kingdom of Yun." The princess of the whole life."

Qiu Ju looked at Qian Yuexin, who was no longer as energetic as she was back then, feeling sad, and felt very uncomfortable. "Yes, princess, this servant has remembered." Qian Yuexin glanced at the weeds as high as the hill piled up in front of her and smiled faintly, for she was really full of energy.

"I'm really tired. Qiu Ju will trouble you to pull out all those weeds later, and then pile them up in the corner. Pull out those wild flowers and plant them all together, and you can use them later when you are bored." Play around." After explaining some things, Qian Yuexin gave Qiu Ju some money.

As a rule, there will be a palace attendant to deliver food later in the meeting. At that time, Qiu Ju will give the palace attendant the silver and ask him to exchange the silver for some vegetables and food. The development of the fetus is very bad, but most of the people in this palace are snobs, and I don't know if the people in that palace will pay attention to their request.

Although the imperial decree did not expressly state that her title of empress would be abolished, but now that she has been thrown into the cold palace, no one would care whether she is still an empress or not.Qiu Ju has been used to these rough jobs since she was a child, and quickly pulled out all the weeds in the yard, and then planted all the wild flowers together.It was the time when the sun was going down, and the person who came to deliver the food was this little maid, who looked like she was only 13 years old.

After Qiu Ju finished her request, the court lady agreed without hesitation, and quickly brought what Qiu Ju wanted, which moved Qiu Ju a lot.After Qian Yuexin woke up, Qiu Ju told her about the matter again, and showed Qian Yuexin those vegetables, rice meat and other things.

Qian Yuexin was also shocked when she saw those things. It seems that there are still many good people in this world.At the beginning, Qian Yuexin would sit in the yard every morning and look at that door. How she wished that the man could come to see her, even if it was just a glance.How she hoped that one day the person who opened that door would be Gu Li.She was really looking forward to Gu Li's visit to her, but time passed day by day, and the only one who opened the door every day was the maid who brought food.

After being disappointed again and again, Qian Yuexin's heart also fell silent, and gradually felt disheartened.What is there to miss about such an indifferent man? Even if she said this to herself like this every day, she still couldn't deny that she still cared about Gu Li in her heart.

She cared about whether he had a good meal and a good rest, whether he took in a new concubine, whether he had a new favorite concubine, whether he had forgotten himself... She used to think that those women in the harem were It's so ridiculous, to live a whole life for a man, fight for a whole life for a man, but still can't get what he wants, and can't end well.Even if she is his queen, no matter what, she can't win his heart.

The food in Lenggong is really light. When it is good, there is a plate of green vegetables. When it is not good, it is two bowls of rice soup, which cannot fill the stomach at all, let alone Qian Yuexin who is still pregnant with her child.Fortunately, the court lady is kind-hearted, and she will exchange food for them every time.Before she got married, Qian Yuexin learned a little from the cook in the imperial dining room, so she still knows how to cook simple dishes.

Although Qiu Ju is very good at serving people and tidying up the room, she has never learned how to cook.Fortunately, Qian Yuexin knows a little bit, so she often follows behind to help. She is quite good at lighting fires and washing vegetables.In their spare time, the two would water the wild flowers in the yard and tidy up the big peach tree in the middle of the yard.

Because of the careful care of the two of them, the small wild flowers bloomed small light purple flowers. The light purple flowers bloomed like a translucent gauze, which is very eye-catching.

A month later, the peach tree with green buds had grown flower buds on the crooked branches, and pink peach blossoms were blooming. In the early morning, the whole Lenggong was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.Because of the careful care of the two people, the original cold palace gradually regained its vitality.

The sturdy branches of the peach tree soon attracted several small birds to build nests on it, and the chirping of the small birds could be heard all day long, and even the dwarf wildflowers on one side welcomed the long, chubby little bees of favor.The entire cold palace was revived.Qian Yuexin gets up early every morning to collect flowers.Said to save it for tea.

She will also pick off some fully open peach blossoms and dry them in the sun to make cakes and the like. Qiu Ju is looking forward to these things, and said that in two or three months, there will be peaches to eat.This made Qian Yuexin look forward to it, as her favorite fruit is the peach.

This peach tree seems to have grown for many years, and I don't know what kind of mood the owner who planted it had in mind when he planted it.But this peach tree is really a treasure to her.Although the life of Qiu Ju and Qian Yuexin is very fulfilling, it is a bit boring if it is like this day after day.This made Qian Yuexin couldn't help but miss the maid who brought her meals every day.

Counting it, when she came out of Fenglai Palace, she brought a few boxes of dowry jewelry, some banknotes and broken silver.If it is used sparingly, those money and goods should be able to last for a few years.But she is going to stay in the cold palace for the rest of her life, and there are also her children and Qiu Ju.After all, this is not a long-term solution. After thinking about it, I decided to ask the maid to help her change some vegetable seeds to plant, so that I can support myself without spending so much money.

When it comes to the maid Qian Yuexin suddenly found something very unusual, the food that the maid bought for them every time was indeed very reasonable with the money she gave.However, most of the food brought each time was beneficial to the fetus during the anti-pregnancy period, which made it hard for her not to be suspicious.

On this day, the palace lady sent the food to the Leng Palace on time. After taking out a plate of green vegetables and two bowls of rice soup, she packed up the food box and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qian Yuexin for no reason. Are the dishes here ordered by His Majesty?"

Hearing that the palace maid's eyes flashed with panic, she smiled unnaturally and said: "Empress, what nonsense are you talking about, these are just wishful thinking of slaves and servants." After speaking, the palace maid was about to leave, but Qian Yuexin held her back again, Qian Yuexin didn't think too much, gave her some broken silver, asked her to help exchange some seeds, and then let her go.

After the maid took Qian Yuexin's money, she left with a pale face, afraid that Qian Yuexin would stop her again and ask her something.Qian Yuexin looked at the direction in which the maid went away for a long time, and couldn't help sighing deeply, maybe she was thinking too much.

Hehe, but it's true, how could that man care about her life and death, he wished he could leave himself here to fend for himself, how could he care about her again, it's really ridiculous.Seeing Qian Yuexin's lonely look, Qiu Ju felt sad in her heart.Ever since Qian Yuexin arrived in this cold palace, she has been moaning and sighing, she is not at all like the high-spirited princess she was in Yunguo.
