Queen's Development

Chapter 13
Yuzhi has her own set of principles for being a person and doing things, one of which is that people and things have to be done from the beginning to the end, so she has been staying in the West Wing of Lingxiao Courtyard to take care of the water dragonfly and the water lotus these few days.

Qing Cha is like a puppy, once he recognizes Yuzhi, he will listen to Yuzhi in everything, but he is also diligent and cautious, and doesn't say much.

Ever since she took off her pants and was beaten in public at Princess Li's place, and was sent back to Lingxiao Courtyard in public, Shui Lian felt ashamed and broke down, crying non-stop, her eyes were swollen, and she was embarrassed to see People, hiding in the room every day, eating lazily every day, watching them haggard day by day.

Shui An was completely different, as if nothing had happened, once she was able to walk, she would let Yuzhi and Qingcha help her out every day, and continued to arrange things in Lingxiaoyuan.

Although Jinlian Hongye and the others were not convinced, they were also unwilling to break their faces easily, so Shui An insisted on maintaining her dignity as a big maid.

When Qingcha met, she quietly said to Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, Sister Shuixi is really thick-skinned!"

But Yuzhi laughed, and said in a low voice: "It's really amazing to be able to do it on your own!"

The small Lingxiaoyuan is also a small world where the weak eat the strong.

Shui An is used to domineering, and everyone disapproves of her.If she hid herself this time because she was ashamed, no one in Lingxiao Court would pay attention to her again.

How can a maid in charge who is ignored by others still gain a foothold in Lingxiao Courtyard?She was torn to pieces by Jinlian Shumei and the others!

Qingcha didn't understand, and looked at Yuzhi flickeringly.

Yu Zhi hugged her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Let's go, you have to remember, thin skin can't be eaten!"

Qingcha stretched out her fingers and gently touched Yuzhi's face, with a confused look on her face: "Huh? Yuzhi, your skin is soft, tender and smooth, but it's not thick at all!"

Yuzhi: "..."

She couldn't help laughing.

That night, Yuzhi and Qingcha were changing the dressing for Shui Xiong, when they heard a knock on the door outside.

Yuzhi and Qingcha were busy, and couldn't move their hands for a while, so they didn't move, thinking that someone else would open the door, but no one would answer.

Because Qingcha was wiping Shui Nian's wound with gauze, Yuzhi had no choice but to put down the ointment in her hand, let Qingcha apply it on Shui Nian, and walked out by herself.

At the back of the gate, Yuzhi put her hand on the latch, and instead of rushing to open the door, she asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" The voice outside seemed familiar.

Yuzhi has a very good memory, as long as it is the sounds she has heard and the faces she has seen, she can basically remember them, even after a while.

She immediately recognized the voice of female doctor Ma, and pulled the latch to open the door.

It was indeed the female doctor Ma with a strange face and an arrogant expression.

Yu Zhi hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted, and said with a smile, "It's so late, female doctor Ma..."

Female doctor Ma still had the same high-spirited appearance: "I am ordered by the princess to take a look at the water dragonfly and the water lotus!"

Yuzhi smiled and said, "Sister Shui Nian and Sister Shui Lian are in the West Wing. Qing Cha and I are changing their dressings! Thanks to Nv Doctor Ma, the wounds of the two sisters are healing very well!"

Female doctor Ma raised her long and big chin, and looked up and down at Yuzhi under the halo of the two flower palace lanterns hanging inside the gate.

Yu Zhi smiled neither humble nor overbearing.

Female doctor Ma saw Yuzhi's openness, but she never flinched, she nodded secretly and said: "Yuzhi, this girl is not stage-frightened!"

She nodded slightly: "You do have a conscience!"

Yuzhi smiled sweetly.

The female doctor Ma said: "You are a good person. The princess heard that you took care of the water lotus and the water lily, and she appreciated it very much. I will reward you with a pair of silver-encrusted white jade pear hairpins!"

She took out a pair of hairpins from her sleeve pocket and handed them to Yuzhi.

Yuzhi took the hairpin and said with a smile: "Thank you, Princess, and thank you, Doctor Ma!"

He said again: "It's so beautiful. It turned out that Qingcha and I took care of the two elder sisters, Shuilian and Shuilian. It happened that Qingcha and I each had a cup!"

Doctor Ma stared at Yuzhi.

Under the cold halo of the palace lantern, Yuzhi's hair was pitch black, her eyes were shining brightly on her white and tender face, and her lips were bright red. They were really picturesque and beautiful.

Female doctor Ma was even more satisfied, and said, "Let's go, let's go see the water dragon first!"

For a while, Yuzhi led female doctor Ma into the north dark room of the west wing.

At this time, Qingcha had already changed the medicine for Shui Xing, seeing Yu Zhi brought the female doctor Ma over, she hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted.

Female doctor Ma glanced at Qingcha lightly, and said: "I have something to say to Shui Xing, you all go back to sleep, you don't have to come here again at night!"

Yuzhi answered "yes" and left with some tea.

Arriving outside Lingxiao Courtyard, Qingcha asked Yuzhi in a low voice: "Yuzhi, what is Doctor Ma doing here to find Shui Xing? Why didn't you let us listen?"

Hearing her childish question, Yuzhi smiled slightly and said, "I'll tell you when I get to my room!"

It was windy outside tonight, the cold wind was biting, Yuzhi and Qingcha were not dressed thickly, they were almost shivering from the cold, so they ran back to Yuzhi's small attic hand in hand.

It was so cold outside, but it was much warmer in the small attic after all.

Qing Cha first sat down on the couch by the east window.

Yuzhi took out the pair of silver-inlaid white jade pear hairpins from the female doctor Ma from her sleeve pocket, and handed them to Qingcha with a smile: "The female doctor Ma said that the princess gave it to us, you choose one!"

Qingcha refused to choose, so he took one at random, put it on his hair happily, and said in his mouth: "What did we two do, that such a good thing will happen to us?"

Yuzhi sat down beside Qingcha, thought for a while, and said: "That's a long story, simply put, Shui Lian and Shui Xing are the princess's people, and we two are serving Shui Lian and Shui Xing, so the princess ordered her cronies Female doctor Ma rewards us!"

Qingcha smiled and said "oh", without thinking too much, she was still happily playing with this silver-encrusted white jade pear hairpin.

Yuzhi glanced at her, and said softly: "Although we accept this hairpin, don't promise anything easily, after all..."

She thought over and over again, and then said: "After all, we are from the Second Young Master's Lingxiao Courtyard!"

Qing Cha smiled and said: "I don't care, anyway, I will follow you, I will listen to whomever you listen to!"

Yuzhi couldn't help laughing, raised her hand and tapped Qingcha's head lightly: "You silly girl! I'll sell you when the time comes!"

"You won't," Qingcha blinked, "this hairpin alone is worth five taels of silver, you are willing to give it to me! If you sell me, it will only be ten taels of silver at most, you will find it troublesome! "

Yuzhi: "..."

Holding her tea, she laughed and said, "I haven't bathed in two or three days, now I'm free, let's get some water for a bath!"

Qingcha clapped her hands in agreement: "Okay!"

The two of them didn't bother, they put on thick clothes and went out, ran back and forth in the big kitchen for several days, brought several buckets of hot water, and took a quick shower.

After taking a bath, Yuzhi put the changed clothes in the tub and put them in the corner of the small attic, ready to wash them tomorrow.

There is a well outside the big kitchen in the inner courtyard of the palace. The maids in the inner courtyard go there to fetch water and wash their clothes. The leading Concubine Jiang simply asked people to surround this place with a flower wall and build a big hexagonal pavilion. Even in rainy and snowy days, the maids can also wash clothes here.

The name of this hexagonal pavilion was chosen by Concubine Jiang, and it was called Shuijing Pavilion.

Early the next morning, Yuzhi got up, ordered Qingcha and went to Lingxiao Courtyard to clean the yard together.

After cleaning the yard, she went to the big kitchen with Qingcha to pick up everyone's breakfast, and placed them in the East Wing of Lingxiao Courtyard.

Jinlian, Hongye, Shumei and Xianjing walked over together after washing their hands.

As soon as she entered the east wing, Shumei took the lead, took a quick step, and took the main seat first.

Seeing this, Jin Lian rolled her eyes, and sat down resentfully with Hong Ye.

Hongye sat down, frowned and told Yuzhi: "Go and prepare some tea for us to rinse our mouths with!"

Yuzhi said with a smile: "Sister Hongye, the tea is ready and it's on the table!"

Hongye glanced at it and saw that there was indeed a tea tray on the table, so she stopped talking.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came through.

Everyone looked over, only to see Shui Xing, who hadn't seen him for several days, slowly walking over.

But I haven't seen her for a few days, Shui An seems to have lost a lot of weight, and her face is also a lot paler. With her face raised high, she walked in majestically, looking at Shumei who took her place: "This is my seat!"

Vanilla and Xiuyun stood aside, looking at the scene before them in surprise.

Hollyhock quietly pulled the tea and took a step back outside the threshold of the East Wing - this is the best place to watch the excitement without being affected.

Shumei sneered and didn't get up: "Your seat? Is your name engraved on it?"

Shui An stared at her with squinted eyes, but reached out to the porridge bowl on the table of the Eight Immortals, ready to pick it up and smash it on Shumei's delicate little head at any time!

Seeing this, Xian Jing on the other side thought of Shui Ning's pungent appearance in the past, and was afraid that Shui Ning would splash over with the hot porridge bowl, so she hurriedly got up and pulled Shumei to sit beside her, then looked at Shui Ning with a smile: "Shui Ning Sister, Shumei is not sensible, please sit down!"

Shui Ning Da La La sat down on the main seat, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the meat buns!"

No one moved around.

Xiuyun was most worried, she was so scared that she almost peed, so she hurriedly took a bun and gave it to Shui Ning.

Shui An took the steamed stuffed bun and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Everyone lowered their eyes.

Everyone ate this meal in an extremely depressing manner, and after breakfast they all got up and left.

Shui Xun glanced at Yuzhi and Qingcha, and her eyes were much gentler: "You two, hurry up and have breakfast!"

Yuzhi and Qingcha agreed, and respectfully sent Shui Xing away.

After Shui An left, Vanilla and Xiuyun dared to go forward to clean up the mess on the table - Yuzhi and Qingcha were in charge of picking up the meals, and Vanilla and Xiuyun were in charge of cleaning up the mess.

In the morning, Yuzhi had nothing to do, so she took the wooden basin and went to the Shuijing Pavilion outside the big kitchen in the inner courtyard to wash clothes.

It was mid-morning at this time, the big kitchen opposite Shuijing Pavilion was closed, the road was empty, and there was no one in Shuijing Pavilion, so it was very quiet.

Yuzhi was washing clothes when she heard light footsteps approaching from far away.

She turned her head and glanced back, seeing that Ai Mei was coming with a wooden basin, she couldn't help smiling: "Ai Mei, come and wash clothes with me!"

Aimei responded with a smile, walked over with a wooden basin, moved a small stool and sat down opposite Yuzhi.

Yuzhi glanced casually, but found that Aimei's laundry tub was full of men's clothes, and they were men's clothes of good quality, including a set of white thin Luo jackets. She couldn't help being stunned: Aimei served Mama Xia, Mama Xia is a single mother, how could Aimei come to wash men's clothes?
When Aimei saw that Yuzhi realized that she was washing men's clothes, she lowered her head shyly and said in a low voice, "These are the second son's clothes..."
