"Empress, princess, empress, wake up..."
"Meet"
Lan Xin feels that he is constantly shaken by a strong force. He slowly opens his eyes and looks at the anxious maid in front of him. Lan Xin is stunned.
"What's the matter with me?"
"Is that a nightmare? I heard that you had been crying in a low voice, but I couldn't wake you up, so I moved my hand... "
Lan Xin subconsciously raised her hand and touched the end of her eye. Sure enough, her finger touched the wet, and she cried
Lan Xin recalled a dream, it's no wonder that he would cry, but he had a dream about the things when he first entered the palace.
"Get me a glass of water. I'm fine."
"Yes, I will go now."
Lan Xin looks at the obedient servant girl who turns around to pour the water. In a trance, the man is himself. He is just as cautious and attentive. He is afraid of being punished and demoted. He is especially worried that he won't get the monthly salary.
Lanxin doesn't have no family. At the beginning, she sold herself to the palace just for her younger brother. Her parents can't afford to have two children. However, she is already sensible, but her younger brother is still young, so she can have a broader future. Lanxin hopes that her younger brother can study hard and have a reliable family.
From the day Lanxin entered the palace, she tried to please everyone, from the discipline of her aunt to the eunuch who was responsible for the distribution of the palace people. Lanxin tried her best to be assigned to the palace of a lady Jieyu, who was still in favor, but she was a little mean. But Lanxin's ability to ingratiate herself quickly promoted Lanxin to be a first-class palace maid.
The first-class palace maid's monthly silver is three Liang more than that of the second-class palace maid's. These silver can be saved well. When we can get together with our family, we can let our parents take it back to find a good private school for our younger brother to study, and we can also buy some good pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The most promising place in the palace is naturally in the palace of the empress and the concubine. But Lanxin knows that those people are not what she can expect. She is so safe to serve the lady Jieyu. It should not be difficult for her to get out of the palace. It's just that people are not as good as heaven. She is a troublemaker.
As a first-class palace maid, Lan Xin has the duty of admonishment, but this Jieyu's temper is not to be heard at all. Because of her youth and beauty, she has been in bed for half a month, and is very proud in the palace. Lan Xin looks at the increasingly domineering Jieyu and is deeply afraid of her future.
"Niang Niang, how beautiful the flowers are
Lan Xin points to the peony in full bloom in the imperial garden and laughs flatteringly. Lu Jieyu always feels that her chest is stuffy these days. Lan Xin proposes to go to the imperial garden to relax. Lu Jieyu didn't intend to come, but she is really suffering in the palace, so she agrees to come out.
Lanxin naturally doesn't want Lu Jieyu to come out to relax. With such a mouth always faster than her brain, Lanxin feels that she will lose her life if she doesn't get out of the palace, so it's up to people to make things happen. Who knows if her fortune will be better if she doesn't gamble.
Lanxin takes the opportunity to go to the dining room to get food for Jieyu, and finds out when the queen comes to the royal garden to enjoy the flowers. Recently, empress Wei loves peony, so she will come to the royal garden to enjoy the peony every three days and pick a few flowers to make a snack. Today, empress Wei is almost due to come.
Lu Jieyu frowned and looked at the blooming peony. Her red prickly eyes were even more uncomfortable, and then she snorted.
"It looks like a peony, but it's not really dignified and rich. It's enchanting and charming. There's nothing to see that can't stand the test."
Lu Jieyu's words fell into the ears of empress Wei, who was walking slowly. Aunt Hong just wanted to scold, empress Wei raised her hand to block it.
"Is that Jieyu who has been in the limelight recently?"
"It's Lu Jieyu who said she wanted the emperor to make her a concubine two days ago. Ah --"
Aunt Hong's latest eyesore is Lu Jieyu. She has a pair of skin bags when she is young. She has become a hot joke in this harem, and Emperor an is willing to spoil her. She really promises to be a concubine in front of the palace people. She's just a little Jieyu. She hasn't given birth to a royal heir. It's like stepping up from Jieyu to a concubine, and even Zhaoyi jumps over it. It's really a big face.
"Lu Jieyu is a wonderful person. There are few people in the harem who can keep the emperor for more than half a month."
Empress Wei commented with a smile but not a smile. Aunt Hong hummed unhappily. Before she could say anything, the voice from there came again.
"I heard that this peony can be used to make porridge. After the white peony is dried in the shade, with japonica rice and a little sugar, the porridge is fresh and delicious. It's mellow and attractive. Why don't you go back and make porridge for you today?"
"You only know that peony porridge is good, but you don't know that peony porridge is a medicated meal, do you?"
Lu Jieyu glanced at Lan Xin with a blank face and explained with a light smile.
"Drinking peony porridge can nourish blood and regulate menstruation. Our lady in the middle palace seems to like peony flowers very much recently. She often comes here and has to pick some back. Now who in the whole harem doesn't know that the empress has a problem that she can't talk about. She has to rely on Peony porridge to recuperate. Since our palace is still young, we won't rob her of peony. Let's have a look at other flowers."
Lu Jieyu knew that empress Wei loved peony, and even picked peony to make it into food. Lan Xin asked about it and said that she was with other maids. Then it came to Lu Jieyu's ears. At that time, Lu Jieyu only heard it as a joke. Now Lan Xin seriously mentions picking peony to go back to cook porridge, which immediately reminds Lu Jieyu of her memory, I just told it as a joke.
"Niang Niang..."
Hong Gugu looked at the dead queen who held her fist tightly and trembled slightly. Her eyes flashed a cold light. Before Wei Wei had already made a speech, Hong Gugu had gone round the plane of Wutong tree first and seized the lutjieyu, who was about to leave the peony flower bush, and slapped him hard.
"Who... Ah --"
Lu Jieyu was seized by a strong arm, subconsciously turned back, so she was slapped. Aunt Hong used all her strength again. At that moment, the hand holding Lu Jieyu's arm was released, and she watched Lu Jieyu fall down with the slap.
"You --"
Lan Xin and others rushed up, looking at Aunt Hong with an angry face, who let Lu Jieyu just finished criticizing the queen.
Lu Jieyu saw clearly who was beating herself. She wanted to scold, but the half of her face that was slapped was burning. Now her cheek was too swollen to touch.
