It was common for rose flowers to be seen in the palace. The Zhong Miao Yi did not like flowers very much, probably because the people of the world always compared the women in the palace to flowers.
These words were like a portrayal of their tragic fate.
She didn't like it, but she remembered that Consort Xian did.
Thus, when Zhong Miao Yi said she wanted to plant the rose, she could see that Concubine Xian was actually looking forward to it.
When Ah Jiu and Shun Cheng came back with their belongings, it was already an incense's time later. Zhong Miao Yi looked at the tools in their hands and frowned: "What about me?"
Ah Jiu and Shun Cheng looked at each other, looked at each other, and said at the same time: "Noble person?"
"Yeah." Zhong Miao Yi walked forward and took the small shovel from Ah Jiu's hands. "Forget it, I'll use this one. Shun Cheng, help me out.
Ah Jiu saw Zhong Miao Yi walking towards the wall with a shovel, and was stunned for a long time before quickly following her: "What is your benefactor doing?"
Zhong Miao Yi lifted her skirt and squatted down. She opened the bag and fished out some seeds, but she didn't turn her head around: "Can't tell? I want all sorts of things. "
"Noble, are you crazy? How can you do this yourself? "Let me do it." Ah Jiu finally reacted, he reached out to grab the thing in Zhong Miao Yi's hands, and frowned. Zhong Miao Yi was simply messing around, if Su Zeyi knew about it, would they still be able to live?
Shun Cheng listened at the side and was extremely frightened. He kneeled in front of Zhong Miao Yi and said, "Honorable person, you must not do such a thing. With a servant here, how can you let your esteemed self do it?"
Zhong Miao Yi looked left and right at Ah Jiu, then looked right and left at Shun Cheng, "You guys want to anger me to death?"
The Ah Jiu did not speak as Shun Cheng lowered his head.
"Where are we? This is the Courtyard! " The Zhong Miao Yi gave some of the seeds to Shun Cheng, "There aren't any important people here, and it wasn't easy for me to come out from that damned place in the palace. What's the difference between that and being in the palace? Su Zeyi couldn't see it again! Who knows what I have done?! "
Ah Jiu had gotten used to it. She stopped calling the Emperor by his big name all of a sudden, just like how the Zhong Miao Yi did, and started calling him 'concubine'. She thought the Zhong Miao Yi was sick.
But Shun Cheng never knew, his face was pale white, as he took the seed and kneeled at the side, unsure of what he should do.
The Concubine Xian, who was watching from behind, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Ah Jiu, you're here."
Hearing that, Ah Jiu stood up, tidied up her skirt and walked over: "Madam."
Concubine Xian looked at Ah Jiu, and could tell that she was truly good to him, and truly for her sake. Xiao Yao had been loyal to her in the past, but now that there was no Xiao Yao, there was no Ah Jiu, so she said: "Let him do it, she hasn't been like this for a long time."
These words were spoken softly, but it really hit Ah Jiu's heart.
Yeah. When had she ever seen such a Zhong Miao Yi?
Only after escaping from the Imperial Palace and arriving at a place without Su Zeyi did she finally remove the armor on his body. He was able to do a few things without being worried.
Her entire body was filled with pain, all from the person who said that he loved her and protected her. Her life was a tragedy, and it was also the person who said that he had her in his heart.
How could there be so many emotions that would not let up? Zhong Miao Yi had long ago stopped believing anything Su Zeyi said.
She had to protect herself, put on a mask, arm herself, cry, laugh, who knew what was real about her.
Now that she was willing to let him off so easily for a few days, why would he use those rules to restrain her? Perhaps in the future, she would never have such a chance again.
"Go over there." Zhong Miao Yi kept Shun Cheng at his side. He always came to his side to help her, and it was really a hindrance.
The Ah Jiu understood what Concubine Xian meant and felt lucky. "I will tell Shun Cheng, thank you Madam for your advice."
It was not tiring to squat like this and release the soil, plant the seeds, and then bury the soil back into the ground. Just squatting there like this made his legs sore.
Zhong Miao Yi felt her legs becoming numb after fiddling with it for a while, she stood up and stretched, then looked at Shun Cheng, who was still working hard.
Concubine Xian waved her hand at Zhong Miao Yi: "Are you tired? Come and rest, have a cup of water, and don't finish it in a hurry. "
Zhong Miao Yi replied as she wiped the mud on her clothes. Ah Jiu frowned and wanted to speak, but she did not.
Consort Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw her actions. "How do you want to put it on?"
"It's already dirty." Zhong Miao Yi laughed and looked at Ah Jiu. She was curious why she didn't say anything about him, to see Ah Jiu holding her breath and staring at the handprint on her clothes, she frowned.
"Ah Jiu, let me help you wash your clothes." She did not say it out loud on a whim, but in earnest as she looked at Ah Jiu with a sincere face.
Ah Jiu took a deep breath, trying his best to sound calm. "My great benefactor, it's fine if you sow the soil and plant the flowers, but why do you still need to wash the clothes? This is not something you should do. "
Zhong Miao Yi pursed her lips, "Embroidery is painful for my eyes all day long. Why don't you let me do something? You teach me how to make things? My food for the Empress is also good. The one in the Empress's stomach is my younger brother, so how can I not do my best? "
Ah Jiu was on the verge of tears as he looked at the Concubine Xian for help.
Who would have known that Consort Xian had hardened her heart to condone Zhong Miao Yi to the end: "Alright, as long as you don't feel tired, you can do it. If you don't want to, then obediently come back and accompany me in making clothes."
Zhong Miao Yi immediately stood up: "It's a deal." She then turned around and continued to do what she had done just now.
Ah Jiu was so anxious that he was about to cry. "Madam, why are you letting this person go as well?"
"What else can she do? Can you screw her? You should know the personality of your master, right? She's had it hard enough, really hard enough, and she's going to put me at ease. I can't bear it, she's a princess that came from my palace, there's no way I can help but to feel sorry for her. " The Zhong Miao Yi wanted to make her happy, she knew that.
Thus, no matter what, for the sake of her heart, for the sake of her hard work, Consort Xian would happily continue to live on.
Ah Jiu bit her lips tightly, unable to refute anything. She did not know what the Concubine Xian and Zhong Miao Yi looked like before, but she knew that the two of them were truly doing it for each other, and that the Zhong Miao Yi no longer had any relatives in this world. It was as Concubine Xian had said, in the end, the only person she could depend on when she grew old was the child in the womb of the Concubine Xian.
Ah Jiu sighed, he picked up the kettle in front of him and poured a cup of water for Consort Xian.
Consort Xian looked at Zhong Miao Yi's back and said, "She has long known in her heart what to do and what not to do."
