Chapter 1
Listening to the howling wind outside, Ruan Mian closed her eyes tightly, her thin body was wrapped in a thick quilt, and she still felt cold.
It seems that tomorrow I still have to go to Ruan Guiren to get another quilt, the weather is really too cold.
Ruan Mian secretly sighed, since she traveled to this unknown ancient time, from curiosity at the beginning to now a pool of stagnant water.
In just a short dozen days, her heart was exhausted. In this harem, where there are people, there are intrigues and intrigues. Luckily, Ruan Mian was dressed as a court lady. There can't be more to the opening song.
The only good thing is that although the original owner is a court lady, the master she serves is her own elder sister, who is also of the same father and mother.
I don't know what happened, my sister became my sister's maid, although Ruan Si never served the original owner, but the disparity in status was too great, the original owner was not allowed to walk around in other places except the palace where Ruan Guiren was. His concubine or empress or something, and nobleman Ruan will suffer together, so you have to be careful in everything you do.
Ruan Mian had been here for more than ten days and hadn't been out of the Mingyue Hall. There were three nobles living in the Mingyue Hall. It was such a small place, and it was divided into three courtyards. Ruan Mian was almost suffocated.
Tomorrow, I should be able to go out for a trip. Ruan Guiren needs to get all the cloths for the New Year. It takes several maidservants to go and get them. With her, it is just enough.
Ruan Mian retracted her small head into the quilt, and her body under the quilt trembled from time to time, mainly because the servants' place did not have a heater, only the master's had it.
She was able to have two quilts because Ruan Guiren was her own sister, and the other maids only had one quilt. Ruan Mian couldn't help shivering at the thought of getting through this snowy winter with such a thin quilt.
Shaking his head and going to bed quickly, he has to get up early tomorrow, close his eyes and gradually fall asleep.
"Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian, wake up quickly." A maid pushed Ruan Mian who was still asleep.
Ruan Mian dazedly opened her eyes and rubbed them. For a moment, she didn't know where she was. Seeing her in a daze, Yanzi shook her head helplessly. She didn't know what was going on these days, and she was in a daze all day long.
"I'm going to the warehouse to get the fabric, get up quickly, I'll have to talk about it if I'm late." Yanzi pushed her, as Ruan Guiren's own sister, she should be more cautious when doing things, otherwise, she would be a target at any time.
Ruan Mian had recovered, quickly dressed and got out of bed, put on her shoes, and followed the swallow out of the palace gate after washing.
Looking up at the slightly bright sky, the sky is still gray, it should be only after five o'clock now? Ruan Mian guessed that she had been in ancient times for more than ten days, but she still couldn't learn to recognize the time, she was a little stupid.
From time to time on the road, I could see groups of palace maids looking towards the direction of the warehouse, probably going to collect the fabrics like them.
Ruan Mian looked left and right from time to time, curious about everything in the palace. The ancient palace buildings were similar to those seen in modern TV dramas.
After successfully receiving the cloth and returning, she carried the lightest one in her hand. Ruan Mian just wanted to carry the heavy one, and the other maids would not allow it. In the palace, the master's relative is another little master.
Ruan Mian held the cloth, lowered his head slightly, and followed the team back to the Mingyue Hall. When he returned, it was already bright, and everything around him could be seen clearly.
"Beggar! You are a beggar, and my prince won't let you eat it! Haha..." A little fat man in brocade clothes yelled with his hips on his hips, and knocked down the buns in the hands of the thin boy in front of him.
The skinny boy looked to be only 5.6 years old, and the clothes he was wearing were also frighteningly thin. Ruan Mian knew from a distance that the boy's shoes had big holes that could be thrown at any time, and he didn't know how he was walking in them.
Ruan Mian felt pain in his heart, what's the matter? Why is such a small child treated like this? The boy's thin face was expressionless, as if he was used to this kind of scene, he bent over to pick up the bun and put it in his arms, turned around and was about to leave.
The little fat man was probably about the same age as the little boy. Seeing that he was about to leave, he quickly blocked him with his chubby body and kicked the little boy's leg.
The little boy didn't seem to be in pain, he just lowered his head and kept silent, allowing the little fat man to scold him, and the servants who served the little fat man remained indifferent, they couldn't bear it, but they had to live.
Ruan Mian, who grew up in a civilized society, how could she stand this scene, holding the cloth and going up to beat the little fat man's ass, her anger went to her head, and she completely forgot that she was in ancient times.
Yanzi had noticed Ruan Mian from the side, felt her behavior, and immediately reached out to stop her, "Are you crazy? Don't die!" Yanzi begged Ruan Mian to let her mind her own business.
"But..." Ruan Mian stopped, the cold wind made her tremble, and when she looked in the direction of the little boy, the little boy had disappeared, leaving only the little fat man holding a snowball and throwing it in a certain direction. , still cursing in his mouth.
The other maidservants quickened their pace to leave this place of right and wrong, Ruan Mian took a second look at the place where the little fat man threw the snowball, saw the little boy had left, so he could only give up, bowed his head and followed Yanzi back to the Mingyue Hall.
Just as she put down the fabric in her hand, Yanzi took Ruan Mian to a corner, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then looked Ruan Mian up and down.
"Xiao Mian, what's wrong with you?" Yanzi asked her anxiously.
Ruan Mian was not the original owner, so she felt a little flustered, "I'm fine, it's just that after I had a fever that day, I didn't remember some things very clearly." He randomly found an excuse to prevaricate Yanzi.
Yanzi remembered that she had a high fever once before, and her tone softened a little, "I tell you, don't go forward when you see anything in the palace, let alone meddle in other people's business, otherwise, you will hurt nobleman Ruan." "Especially Xiao Mian is Ruan Guiren's younger sister.
Ruan Mian nodded pretending to understand, "Then those two children just now are...?"
Yan Zi nervously checked to see if anyone passed by, "It's the fifth and sixth princes, can't they be here?" If others call the princes by other names, their heads will be beheaded."
So serious? Ruan Mian frowned, "Which one is the fifth prince or the sixth prince?" It turned out to be the prince, but if it was only the prince, why is there such a big difference in treatment?
"The fifth prince is the one in brocade clothes. As for the sixth prince..." Yan Zi seemed to be a bit shy when it came to the sixth prince, so he shut up and didn't go on. What..." Ruan Mian hinted at Yanzi to continue talking.
Yanzi observed that there was no one around, so he continued, "The identity of the sixth prince is highly controversial, and no one cares about it in the harem. The emperor...doesn't like the sixth prince." shut up.
Ruan Mian realizes that the topic of the sixth prince really can't be said much, although she really wants to know the cause and effect, but in order not to hurt others, she should put aside her heart of gossip.
Yanzi recalled the poor sixth prince, and sighed, "It's also Prince Murong..." The sixth prince is really pitiful, and he doesn't know if he can survive this winter.
Ruan Mian was familiar with the words "Prince Murong". Ruan Mian seemed to have heard the surname Murong somewhere, and Ruan Mian fell into deep thought again.
Seeing her in a daze again, Yanzi didn't want to say any more, no matter whether she was confused or pretending to be confused, she had already said what she should say.
"Don't be impulsive again, you will be ruined if you hurt Mrs. Ruan." Yanzi didn't understand why the Ruan family sent both daughters to the palace, one was the master and the other was the maidservant.
After ordering Ruan Mian, Yanzi didn't expect her to respond, "I'll do things first, you think about it yourself." He patted Ruan Mian's shoulder comfortingly.
Ruan Mian's head was already blown at this time, Murong's surname, the poor boy's fate, she had to think of that ancient article, she had an accident on the flight in her last life, before the accident she picked up a book and read it because she was bored. When she got up, she felt goosebumps all over her body after watching it.
It seems that the timeline she wears is when the male lead was a child. The male lead was really pitiful when he was a child, even more pitiful than the situation she just witnessed.
It is the tragic experience in childhood that will create the cruel and ruthless tyrant in the future. Ruan Mian did not expect that he would wear a book, and his thoughts were in a state of chaos for a while.
Ruan Mian, who was alone in the corner, couldn't figure out how she could wear books? Ruan Mian was very confused about her situation, forget it, just take a step, and nothing will happen to her one day with Mrs. Ruan around.
"Xiao Mian? Xiao Mian?" Xiao Cui's voice approached from a distance, and Ruan Mian hurriedly exposed her body.
"Xiao Cui, I'm here." Guru Ruan was probably looking for her.
Seeing that Ruan Mian was fine, Xiao Cui breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Ruan Mian a reproachful look, "It scares people to death, don't walk around again." Ruan Mian
nodded, "But Mr. Ruan is calling me?"
"You still know How about it? Ruan Guiren was frightened by you. It came from outside that a maidservant in the Moon Palace was killed. We have all the maidservants in our courtyard, but you are missing. Ruan Guiren will be so anxious that he will cry It's gone." Panting for breath, Xiao Cui dragged Ruan Mian to a certain direction and walked quickly, if Yanzi hadn't ensured that Ruan Mian was in a daze, Ruan Guiren might have killed her maidservant to see what happened.
Ruan Mian sighed, what should I say? It wasn't until she met Ruan Si that she realized that some women were really made of water, and she would cry when she moved. She forced herself to drink warming soup every day, and cried if she didn't drink.
In the past ten days, Ruan Mian was terrified of crying by Ruan Si. If it was in modern times, the Oscar statuette would be hers, and she would cry whenever she wanted to.
Ruan Mian also quickened her pace and walked towards the main courtyard. Before reaching the courtyard, a pink figure rushed over.
Ruan Si was so frightened that she burst into tears, "Is Mian'er okay? My sister is almost terrified. What if something happens to you..." I blamed myself for insisting on bringing my younger sister into the palace, but my younger sister didn't follow her Entering the palace, in the Ruan Mansion, is not much safer than in the palace.
Ruan Mian sighed silently, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Ruan Guiren is already a nobleman, don't call your slaves your sisters, you will attract people who care about you." After Ruan Guiren calmed down, she followed Yanzi to watch
them How to make clothes, Ruan Mian thought that there was a place in the palace to make clothes for concubines.
As a result, Yanzi gave her a naive look, "The garment workshop in the palace is designed to make clothes for the emperor, empress, and concubines and above." The nobleman is not qualified.
Ruan Mian suddenly realized, no wonder everyone had to squeeze their heads upwards, there was a loud bang, the weather was fine just now, and suddenly thunder and wind blew up.
The maidservants hurriedly got up and took back all the clothes hanging outside, as well as the flower pots in the yard.
The whole courtyard was messed up by the sudden heavy rain. Ruan Mian helped put the clothes in. Looking at the torrential rain in front of her, Ruan Mian frowned again. She remembered the plot in the article. When the hero was 5.6 years old, he was also in the During a rainstorm night, when entering the door, I accidentally stepped on a nail. The nail seemed to be placed by a certain concubine, because she just didn't want the hero to live through this winter.
chapter 2
The sky was still flashing with lightning, and all the court ladies and eunuchs who were busy went to the eaves to shelter from the rain.
But Ruan Mian was still looking at the sky that was pouring down with heavy rain. Thunder and lightning kept flickering, and the sky was as dark as night.
Swallow just hid under the eaves from the outside, "It rained so suddenly. Fortunately, the washed clothes were taken back in time, otherwise, it would have been a waste of work." Ruan Mian answered absent-mindedly, because the surroundings were sheltered from the rain
. There were so many people there, Yanzi wanted to chat with Ruan Mian, but he didn't dare to say too much, after all, walls have ears.
After staying quietly for a while, when it was raining heavily, Ruan Mian rushed out suddenly, Yanzi was so frightened that she called her, but she couldn't shout too loudly for fear of disturbing others.
Ruan Mian squinted his eyes from the rain, turned around and said, "I have something confiscated, I have to rush to collect it first, and I'll come back as soon as I go." When the people under the eaves heard what Ruan Mian said, they all
thanked themselves for finishing the work in time It's over.
Otherwise, in such a cold day with heavy rain, you will definitely get sick from the cold. The lives of maids and eunuchs are the most worthless.
Yanzi could only watch and worry, Ruan Mian would definitely get sick like this, what should I do?
Ruan Mian braved the heavy rain to leave the Mingyue Hall. She couldn't bear it. In short, she would never let such a small child suffer such a big punishment.
She ran quickly to the outside of the Mingyue Hall, and stopped at the place where she met the sixth prince in the morning. Fortunately, there was a small pavilion nearby, otherwise, the heavy rain made it hard for her to keep her eyes open.
Hiding in the gazebo, of course she can't ask others where the sixth prince lives, she can only identify it by herself.
In her bosom, there is still a spread of pancakes given by Ruan Si, which are very fragrant. It was still warm in her clothes, but now that it is raining, it is probably almost cold.
The sixth prince ran in that direction, Ruan Mian tiptoed to look there, and there was indeed a palace.
No matter, you can't be stepped on by that child, or you will suffer too much, Ruan Mian gritted his teeth and ran towards the direction of the sixth prince again in the heavy rain.
Not far away, I finally saw the only palace nearby, it was not big, it should be the child's palace.
Hiding smoothly on the outer wall of the palace, Ruan Mian shivered from the cold, fiddled with the rainwater from her hair, and left her body alone for the time being.
"Rupin Hall?" Ruan Mian read out the words on the plaque softly, the name was weird, Rupin...Pinru?
Ruan Mian was speechless, and shook her head, thinking about something messy, she looked in through the crack of the closed door, moved her foot, and accidentally kicked something.
It's a nail! Picking up the nails at his feet, Ruan Mian gasped, the nails were so long, with one kick, his feet would be useless.
Frowning tightly, these people are too vicious, even if they use this kind of vicious tricks on a five or six-year-old child, they will not be afraid of lightning strikes.
Ruan Mian didn't care about spurning their behavior, looked in the house, the child was still inside, and didn't come out.
The sound of rain and thunder just covered up the sound of opening the door. Ruan Mian opened the door cautiously, but the door was not locked at all. Probably the maid who put the nails or the eunuch did not lock it on purpose.
Ruan Mian, who successfully entered Rupin Hall, quickly squatted down and looked around with wide eyes. Fortunately, there were not many nails. She bent over and braved the rain, and carefully picked up the nails she saw.
When we arrived at the door of the hall, there were still a few scattered nails on the door. Ruan Mian quickly picked it up, fearing that the child would find out, so he immediately hid and squatted aside after picking it up.
After waiting outside the door for a while, there was no movement inside. She was about to evacuate, but out of curiosity, she punctured the oiled paper on the window and looked inside.
The hall is very empty, except for a table and a bed, there are almost no other things.
And the sixth prince's small body was curled up on the bed without moving. Ruan Mian looked in for a while, but he didn't move. If she didn't know that he was the hero in the book, she would have thought that something would happen to him.
After pocketing the nails, Ruan Mian decided to go in and have a look at him, and cautiously opened the door, and slipped in.
It was very cold in the hall, Ruan Mian was shivered by the wind blowing in from the open window, stepped forward to close the window tightly, and walked lightly to the side of the sixth prince's bed.
The sixth prince huddled into a ball, the quilt... Ruan Mian frowned, it was too thin, he probably survived because of the hero's aura so he didn't die in the cold palace.
Ruan Mian couldn't bear it, but right now she just wanted to take off the cotton padded coat on her body, it was all wet, and she couldn't keep warm now...
Yes! Ruan Mian's eyes lit up, and she quickly took off her coat, and then took off the cotton-padded underwear inside. The coat was thick enough, but the inner coat inside was still dry and warm.
She covered the Sixth Prince with her underwear, and then folded the quilt to cover him, so it should be much warmer.
Sure enough, as soon as he covered him, the sixth prince immediately stopped shaking so much.
Ruan Mian looked around, the water on the table must be cold, she can't heat it up for him in this situation, and she can't leave Mingyue Palace for so long, it would be bad to make people suspicious.
Put the pancake wrapped in oil paper in his arms under the quilt of the sixth prince, and let him warm himself. At least when he wakes up, the pancake will not be frozen in the mouth.
Ruan Mian was shivering incessantly from the cold, without her coat, the drenched coat seemed to have soaked through her innermost thin coat, and she was so cold that she almost died on the spot.
Let's go quickly, when the cat was about to go out, it happened that at this time, someone knocked on the door outside the hall.
Ruan Mian turned pale with shock, and hurriedly hid in an inconspicuous corner, and must not expose herself.
The sound of knocking on the door gradually became louder, the sound that could not be covered by wind, rain, thunder and lightning. The sixth prince who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and heard the knock on the door outside the hall.
His thin sunken face, his big dark eyes were full of vigilance, he had such an expression at a young age, and Ruan Mian felt uncomfortable when he saw it.
No matter what the sixth prince was, he was just a five or six-year-old child, and there was still a knock on the door outside the palace. The sixth prince did not get up, but quietly waited for the knock to disappear.
Then he went back to sleep, and just when he was about to lie down, he noticed the padded underwear on his body and the warm oil bag, opened the oil bag with his small hand, and inside was food that he had never eaten before.
The sixth prince stared at the pancake in his hand, and then glanced at the inner coat that covered him. He must have struggled a lot in his heart, maybe he was really hungry, and he couldn't help eating one piece after another.
I rewrapped the pancakes, put them in the bed, and lay down again, waiting for the arrival of a huge stomach pain, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't feel anything other than warmth.
The sixth prince gradually fell asleep, muttering, "Mother, are you here..."
Ruan Mian's eyelids turned red when she heard this, the child is so pitiful, after calming down, she will go back, in case It would be bad if the rain stopped.
She went out the door quietly, and after confirming that there were no nails in the hall, she hurried back to the Mingyue Hall in the rain again.
"Ruan Mian, you are back." Yanzi almost stretched her head out of the giraffe, and finally hoped for her to come back.
"Swallow." Ruan Mian patted some water off his clothes.
Yanzi checked that there was no one around, and pulled her to a utility room, and handed her a bowl.
"Hurry up, drink it, and go change your clothes after drinking it." Yanzi urged.
Looking at the steaming ginger soup in her hand, Ruan Mian was moved, and quickly drank it while it was hot. In this ancient times, if one gets sick, one can only wait for death.
"Swallow, thank you." Ruan Mian was very grateful to her.
Yanzi was shy, and bumped into her lightly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
After Ruan Mian changed her clothes, she finally felt more comfortable. She sat on the table and held a pot of hot water to keep warm. The person who framed the hero this time seemed to be trying to get the sixth prince to open the door by knocking on the door.
No, the sixth prince obviously wouldn't get out of bed to open the door, not to mention it was still raining so heavily outside, Ruan Mian remembered that when she first arrived at the Rupin Hall, the hall door was unlocked.
It is estimated that in the original plot, after the palace door was opened, the wind came in, blowing open the door inside, and the sixth prince had no choice but to get up to close the door because of the cold, which was their trick.
But they didn't expect that Ruan Mian blocked the gate with a backhand, and no one would go to it under heavy rain.
Chapter 3
Ruan Mian was stunned for a while, the rain outside was still falling, it seemed that it would not stop for a while.
The work she did was considered small work, and she was honored by the original owner's sister, Ruan Si. In this harem, she had to be extremely careful with every step she took.
Ruan Mian touched her small face, although this face is not as beautiful as a fairy, but it is also like a moon-shame flower, a fish and a wild goose. She is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid that this face will cause trouble.
Women's jealousy should not be underestimated, especially in the harem, appearance is the most important, even her elder sister Ruan Si is not as amazing as her appearance.
"Hey..." Bu Bu was startled, and Ruan Mian couldn't pretend, so he could only leave it to fate.
Swallow dragged open the door and came in, holding needlework and some materials for making shoes.
"Ruan Mian, is your female celebrity still not improving?" Yanzi asked worriedly.
Ruan Mian was stunned, "Well, I'm not too familiar with it." The female red is embroidery, sewing clothes, shoes, etc. It's not that she is not familiar with it, but she doesn't know anything.
"After a while, it will be a small test for second-class maids, you are not familiar with it now." Yanzi said sadly.
A small test by a second-class maid? "There are different levels of court ladies?" Ruan Mian really didn't know, was it not the personal servants of the queen and concubine, or the first and second class maids? Why even try it out?
Yanzi gave her a strange look, and put his hand on her forehead, "I'm not sick. The court ladies are divided into three classes, and we are the third class, so we are not qualified to be close to nobles and talented people. Second class." Wait for the palace lady."
Unless you are too busy, you can help a little.
Ruan Mian was a little puzzled, "But what if a nobleman or a talented person wants a certain maidservant to be his personal maidservant?"
Yanzi didn't answer right away, but tilted her head and thought for a while, "Of course it's possible, but the selected maid has to pass the small test of the second-class maid."
Ruan Mian didn't expect that court ladies would be so difficult to eat and drink, "But what if I don't pass the small test for second-class court ladies?" "
You have already failed twice." Yanzi shook her head helplessly while holding a needle and thread.
Ruan Mian: "..." This...she didn't know about it.
She suddenly thought of the sixth prince's off-heeled shoes, since she has decided, let's help him to the end, if it can change the character of the male lead's future tyrant, it will also save the human Shura one after another.
Most importantly, she knew that a child who was only a few years old was so pitiful, so she let her just watch, and forgive her for not being able to stand idly by.
"Yanzi, can you teach me again, my hands are clumsy and my memory is not good, no, I forgot how to be a female celebrity again." Ruan Mian approached Yanzi, Yanzi was very concerned about her taking the initiative to
study , with some surprise on his face.
"I've been waiting for your words for too long. No matter how much I tried to persuade you before, I didn't listen to you. If you want me to tell you, don't fight against nobleman Ruan." And hold your breath.
Facing Yanzi's words, Ruan Mian was stunned again. Maybe it was because she had been observing for more than ten days since she came here and kept silent, so Yanzi never told her about these things.
"How could I blame nobleman Ruan?" Ruan Mian said softly, wanting to know more about the former owner.
Yanzi shook her head again and sighed, "It's good that you don't complain. Before Ruan Guiren asked you to be her personal maid, you even finished the small test very perfunctorily." Not to mention female red, you can't fold the quilt well.
Ruan Mian listened quietly, it seemed that the original owner still blamed her own sister, maybe because she was very confident in her appearance.
Unexpectedly, it was her sister who was chosen to be a concubine, but she was not even qualified to be her sister's personal maid.
"However, in recent days, I see that you and Ruan Guiren have reconciled, and you must have figured it out. This time, you have passed the second-class maid test, so you should serve Ruan Guiren well." Yanzi was very happy for her.
Ruan Mian hesitated for a moment, then nodded in response to her, "Then... what if I haven't passed the exam?"
"You must pass it this time. If you haven't passed the small test of the second-class maid three times in a row, you may still be able to stay here, but the nurse who supervises the test is very talkative. Or if you are not easy to talk to, then you will be in trouble."
Yanzi finished speaking in one breath, put down the needle and thread in her hand, and looked at Ruan Mian on the side again with a worried face.
Ruan Mian asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"They will be allocated to some unfavorable concubines in the palace, most of them are princes who have been promised and forgotten by the emperor." Yanzi said in a very low voice Tell Ruan Mian.
It was only then that Ruan Mian realized why Yanzi was worried about her. Seeing that she was disturbed, Yanzi added another sentence.
"Even nobleman Ruan can't decide whether you will stay or not, and he promises to do endless work in those palaces every day, and promises that the treatment in the palace is not very good, so if you are assigned to promise, you may not have a meal. Pause."
I don't think she has been in the palace for a long time, but she really saw a lot of maids and eunuchs die unexpectedly.
After listening to Yanzi's words, Ruan Mian had a premonition that she was going to race against the god of death, and prayed that the female celebrity would not be too difficult to learn, otherwise she might return to the harem again.
Chapter 4
Ruan Mian was anxious to ask Yanzi to teach her female red, "Good Yanzi, teach me quickly." Otherwise, she might really die.
Yanzi was naturally happy, "Look carefully, if you don't learn how to learn female red well, it's useless to ask Mrs. Ruan." She was afraid that she would stop learning after a while.
Ruan Mian nodded her head twice, she must practice hard, firstly for herself, secondly, she also has to make shoes for the sixth prince, his shoes will freeze to death in this weather.
"Huh..." Ruan Mian exhaled, she must not fall into the promised places, if she really went to those places, her life might be lost.
Learning how Yanzi knits stitch by stitch, Ruan Mian was very engrossed in learning. Yanzi felt relieved when she saw that she was finally serious, and taught Ruan Mian very carefully.
After studying for a long time, I probably memorized the two kinds of weaving and shoe weaving, and I didn't learn embroidery. According to Yanzi, embroidery is the most difficult.
Ruan Mian turned her sore and limp neck, it was getting late, and she was about to go to bed, as a maid, she didn't have dinner.
So she would hide a steamed bun at noon, and swallow it with cold water and steamed buns at night.
Weaving shoes and clothes is learning faster and faster. She learns and accepts things very quickly. She will practice whenever she has time these days.
Su Moxue warmed the remaining steamed bun in her bosom, and brought it to the sixth prince tomorrow. She made up her mind and gave the sixth prince another thick coat, so that she could resist the cold at least.
And it was gray clothes, which could be worn by both men and women. Su Moxue lay down in the quilt and fell asleep peacefully.
The night wind blew all night, but the rain didn't fall any more. Before dawn, the maids in the same bedroom as Ruan Mian got up to work one after another.
Ruan Mian folded the quilt and went out after Yanzi, washing the clothes and filling the water tank.
"Ruan Mian, you're dressed really thickly today." Yanzi looked a little more cute when she saw that she was dressed chubby, and matched with her beautiful face.
Ruan Mian replied naturally, "I was drenched yesterday, and I was afraid of getting sick, so
I wore thicker clothes. " " Yanzi probably thought of the previous conversation with "Ruan Mian", feeling speechless and shook his head.
Ruan Mian's hands were reddened from the cold, paused slightly, and then continued to rub the clothes on the wooden tray, the original owner loves beauty so much.
Looking at the sky before it was completely bright, Ruan Mian observed how many people entered and exited the Mingyue Hall from time to time, and ran out quietly when he found an opportunity.
"Ouch, Yanzi, my stomach hurts." Ruan Mian covered her stomach pretending to be in pain.
Yanzi hurriedly put down what she was doing, "Are you okay? Do you want to see the imperial physician?"
Ruan Mian shook her head in pain, "It's okay, I'll go and make it easier." After speaking, she ran to the side holding her stomach.
Yanzi worriedly watched her run to the direction of the hut. Ruan Mian found the wall next to the hut, which was the shortest and easy to climb.
She can't always sneak out from the gate of the Mingyue Palace. There is no one who doesn't wet her shoes when she often walks by the river. If she sneaks around a lot, she will definitely be seen by others. If she is discovered, the consequences will be too serious.
Ruan Mian didn't want to take that risk, so she helped Chong climbed up the wall, and fell out after a while. There was a big tree on the other side of the wall, and she ran towards the sixth prince's palace with her waist down.
When she arrived at the Rupin Hall, Ruan Mian pushed open the door, which was not locked, and she entered the courtyard. The sky was a little bright at this time, and she could see clearly. As she walked, she noticed if there were any nails that she hadn't picked up yesterday.
Ruan Mian didn't see any missing nails, so Ruan Mian looked at the hole he poked yesterday, and the sixth prince was still sleeping.
Children are more lethargic. Ruan Mian gently opened the door and took off the jacket. The jacket inside was for the sixth prince, and took it off again to cover the sixth prince's small body.
After stuffing the steamed buns into his bed, Ruan Mian put on the first coat that he took off, hurried out of Rupin Hall, and hurried back to the wall.
Turning over the wall, Ruan Mian saw no one around, jumped down, and walked slowly to the place he left just now.
"Ruan Mian? Are you okay?" Yanzi came up to meet her.
Ruan Mian shook her head, "It's okay, maybe I caught a cold yesterday."
Yanzi felt that she was fine when she heard that she was fine, so she touched her forehead with her hand, "It's fine, you don't need to help the water tank, you go back to the house to rest Go."
Of course Ruan Mian refused, two people had to fill up the water tank, and one person was too tired.
Swallow couldn't resist her, so he had to agree with them to go to fill the water tank together.
After filling up the water tank, it was finally time to have breakfast, and Ruan Mian lined up behind Yanzi to get the breakfast.
A steamed bun and a bowl of batter can fill the stomach. Ruan Mian and Yanzi sat on the stone pier outside the house and ate. The table in the back room was already occupied by other court ladies.
Ruan Mian and Yanzi had no choice but to sit outside and eat steamed buns and batter with their backs to the vent.
Seeing that Ruan Mian was shaking slightly under the blowing, Yanzi noticed that she didn't know when she was not wearing thick clothes.
"Ruan Mian, aren't you wearing thick clothes?" Why did you take them off again?
Ruan Mian was swallowed by Yanzi's question, "It's inconvenient to do things, so I took it off." After speaking, he continued to eat.
Chapter 5
Ruan Mian ate quite quickly, mainly because the weather was really too cold, if she didn't eat quickly, she would soon become stiff from the cold.
When Yanzi heard her answer, she was no longer curious, and ate faster than Ruan Mian.
"What do you want to do after a rest?" Yanzi drank the last mouthful of batter.
Ruan Mian was still eating steamed buns, "Be a female celebrity." She had to learn how to become a female celebrity quickly, and she didn't want to face any unknown dangers.
Yanzi was surprised, "I thought you were going to sneak out again like before."
Ruan Mian stuffed the last mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth, and then looked at Yanzi with puzzlement in his eyes.
Swallow knew she shouldn't say these things, so she stopped talking again.
Ruan Mian was very surprised, the original owner sneaked out of the Mingyue Palace? What is she running out for?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. The original owner refused to accept that she did not become one of the concubines in the harem, and people love beauty. She had a bad premonition...
Ruan Mian took Yanzi to a remote place, but Yanzi didn't know what she was doing. Well?
"How do you know that I ran out?" Ruan Mian couldn't directly ask why the original owner of the swallow ran out of the Mingyue Palace.
Yanzi looked around, "Didn't you tell me?"
Ruan Mian refused to admit it, "When did I tell you this?"
"You told me the other day that you wanted...to go to the Royal Garden." Yanzi I was so anxious that she was the one who told her.
Ruan Mian clenched her palms tightly, as she thought, "I remembered, I almost forgot about it."
Seeing that she remembered, Yanzi heaved a sigh of relief, and lightly bumped her with his shoulder, "You Scared me to death."
Ruan Mian smiled with a serious face, "I'm just kidding, but look straight, you must not spread it, I just want to stay in Mingyue Palace from now on."
Yanzi is so happy, " You finally figured it out, nobleman Ruan treats you so well, you can't let nobleman Ruan down."
Ruan Mian nodded with a smile, but couldn't laugh in her heart, she didn't know what the original owner did after leaving the Mingyue Palace.
No wonder she was worried, it was useless for her to worry now, she could only take one step at a time.
"I'm going back to the house to be a female celebrity." Ruan Mian said to Yanzi.
Yanzi followed Ruan Mian back into the house, correcting some of Ruan Mian's wrong stitches stitch by stitch.
Ruan Mian is concentrating on holding the shoes. What she is weaving now is for the sixth prince. Although the stitches were a little loose at the beginning, they were adjusted by Yanzi and made them tighter.
"Why are the soles of your shoes so small?" Yanzi looked at the soles of her shoes, which were so small that they were worn by five or six-year-old children.
Ruan Mian replied without raising her head, "It's easier to accept the smaller ones."
Yanzi nodded hesitantly, "Okay, then you will be a female celebrity first, and I will take a rest."
Ruan Mian was weaving shoes before weaving. After a while, Mother Chen, who manages the Mingyue Hall, shouted outside the courtyard.
"Come out all of them. Eunuch Liu wants to search the Mingyue Hall one by one."
Ruan Mian was terrified by the yelling, and hurriedly put the shoes in Xiaolou's hand, and quickly called Yanzi up, and the two went out of the house.
Yanzi told her softly, "Ruan Mian, don't look directly at Nanny and Eunuch Liu later." After speaking, she quickly stepped out of the house.
Ruan Mian couldn't help sweating her palms, she had been wearing it for a while, and had seen intrigues in the palace, but this was the first time she had experienced such a big battle.
Standing beside Yanzi, she lowered her head slightly. Eunuch Liu's pale face was a little cold, and he looked at the two rows of court ladies in front of him.
"Search."
"Our family is here today because Concubine Wan Guifei has lost valuables. If you know and tell me, Concubine Wan Guifei will reward you." A sharp voice rang in
Ruan Mian's ears. The father-in-law's voice was somewhat indistinguishable, like scratching glass with fingernails, which made Ruan Mian uncomfortable.
No one answered Eunuch Liu, Ruan Mian pinched her palms a little, she was very nervous, if someone framed Ruan Guiren, it would be a disaster.
She was praying that this kind of thing would not happen, and after a while, the guards who were looking for him bowed their hands to Eunuch Liu.
"Eunuch Liu, I haven't found it here."
"No? Go to Ruan Guiren's Palace." Eunuch Liu said something, turned and left slowly.
Chapter 6
Ruan Mian did not relax her mind at all, she looked at the guard walking away, something was wrong, she always felt that something was going to happen.
As soon as the nanny said to disband, Yan Zi took Ruan Mian's hand, "Ruan Mian, you said Ruan Guiren..." Will something happen?
Ruan Mian shook her head subconsciously, and thought of something for a moment, the maid who was executed in the Mingyue Palace two days ago!
There are too many concubines in the palace, and either she died or someone else died, "Yanzi, let me ask you, which nobleman from Mingyue Palace is the palace maid who was executed a few days ago?" Yanzi thought about it, "It is Ruan nobleman
. The ones in the hall seem to be because they accidentally bumped into the concubine, so... hey! Where are you going?"
Ruan Mian's face turned pale instantly when he heard that it was from Ruan Guiren's hall, it's too bad!
He ran in a certain direction, "My stomach hurts, go to the latrine." After leaving these words, he walked quickly towards Mr. Ruan Gui.
"Why does your stomach hurt again? Did you eat something wrong?" Yanzi muttered, looking at her back suspiciously.
Ruan Mian knew that there was a small path to reach Ruan Guiren's Hall faster than those father-in-laws.
Ruan Mian ran down the path, and arrived at Ruan Guiren's palace in a short while, and closed the door, "Hurry up, the palace maid who was executed two days ago is in charge of some work in the palace?" Without taking a breath, she hurriedly closed the door and
asked Ruan Guiren, who was frightened by her sudden intrusion, and her personal maid.
Ruan Guiren was the quickest to respond, "It's for dressing up and bedding..."
Before she finished speaking, Ruan Mian walked around her and came to her bed, and lifted all the pillows and quilts.
Ruan Guiren's personal maid looked dumbfounded, thinking she was going crazy again, she looked better a few days ago, but now I am afraid that hearing that the emperor is getting interested in Ruan Guiren, she is going to make trouble again.
The act of the personal maid holding Ruan Mian, Ruan Guiren wanted to stop the personal maid from blocking Ruan Mian, but the personal maid took a quick step and grabbed Ruan Mian's hand.
"What are you going to do again? Ruan Guiren is so kind to you? Why are you not satisfied?" the personal maid said with hatred.
Ruan Mian just opened the quilt inside, revealing a delicately embroidered red bag.
"Sure enough." Ruan Mian broke free from her hand, rushed forward and took the red bag in her hand.
The personal maid looked at the bag in her hand, "This is it?" She looked at Ruan Guiren.
With a pale face, Ruan Guiren stepped forward to open the bag, and a lifelike golden butterfly hairpin appeared in the eyes of the three of them.
"This... this is not my master's." Ruan Guiren was a little panicked, she knew that the battle in the palace was terrible, but she didn't know that she was caught in it so quickly, this hairpin might be a gift from the emperor.
"Eunuch Liu sent someone to search my place just now, but he didn't search us, so I felt something was wrong. He and his guards are almost here now." After speaking,
Ruan Mian took the red bag from Ruan Guiren , "Quickly make the bed, I'll take care of this, you just pretend I haven't been here." The
personal servant was so frightened that she hurriedly made the bed, Ruan Mian didn't hear footsteps outside.
"But..." Ruan Guiren held her back, his eyes full of worry.
Ruan Mian didn't have time to comfort her, if it dragged on, everyone would have to finish the game.
"I'm fine, sister, be careful." Ruan Mian rushed out after saying this.
As soon as she left, Eunuch Liu arrived, even if she was a second late, she would be found.
Eunuch Liu looked at Ruan Guiren with contemptuous eyes, but his tone was respectful, "I have seen Ruan Guiren, this time I came to Mingyue Palace because Concubine Wan Gui lost the hairpin given by the emperor, I don't know if Ruan Guiren knows about this Where is the hairpin?"
Ruan Si calmly said with a soft smile, "Eunuch Liu was joking, how could the owner know about the hairpin of Concubine Wan Guifei?"
Eunuch Liu's reaction to her was expected, "That will disturb Ruan Ruan You are a nobleman, search our house." The white face pulled in vain.
Ruan Si didn't give any dissuasion, and calmly watched the guards coming and going in her hall.
Eunuch Liu looked at her with admiration this time, and he really had some guts.
When the search results came out, Eunuch Liu was very surprised and exclaimed, "Why not?"
Then he realized that this sentence was not right, with a pale face, "The secluded places under the table and between the mattresses, Have you found them all?"
The guard who reported back was obviously taken aback, "Eunuch Liu, I have searched these places very carefully, and there are indeed none." Eunuch Liu frowned
, and Ruan Si put down the tea in his hand, "Eunuch Liu, can you Did you find it?"
Eunuch Liu fixed his eyes on Ruan Si, could it be that she had already guessed it?
"Eunuch Liu?" Ruan Si waved his hand in front of his eyes.
Eunuch Liu laughed suddenly, "I didn't find what you said about nobleman Ruan."
Ruan Sirou nodded with a smile, "Mr. Liu, do you want to check it carefully?"
Eunuch Liu shook his head, "That's not necessary. I took my leave."
"Eunuch Liu, go slowly." Ruan Si didn't say much.
Eunuch Liu took a deep look at Ruan Si, waved to the guards, and left.
When Eunuch Liu disappeared in front of their eyes, Ruan Si asked the personal maid to close the door. Once the door was closed, Ruan Si weakly supported the chair. If Ruan Mian hadn't found out, she might be in trouble now.
But Ruan Mian took the hairpin away, what if she was found out?
"Ruan Guiren, I'm going to find you..." When the personal maid wanted to say Ruan Mian's name, Ruan Si stopped her.
Ruan Si covered her mouth, "Don't go, don't talk about it again." The only solution for now is to let Mian'er get rid of the hairpin by herself. If you look for her at this juncture, you will definitely startle the snake and hurt Mian'er. .
The maid nodded, she really misunderstood Ruan Mian.
Ruan Mian was climbing the wall next to the latrine, hairpins could not appear anywhere in Mingyue Hall, so she could only climb the wall to go to another place to deal with hairpins.
There is a lake where I passed by before. Throw it into the lake and let Concubine Wan Gui look for it. She dares to "lose" the things bestowed by the imperial court. It seems that Concubine Wan Gui's family is not as powerful as usual, and she is not afraid that the emperor will blame her.
Ruan Mian jumped off the wall and found a small bucket with several big cracks beside it, and walked quickly towards the lake with the small bucket.
There was no one by the lake, and her feet were covered with mud. It had just rained heavily, and no one came to the lake to step on the mud and go back.
After confirming that there was no one around, she put a few small stones into a red bag and threw them towards the lake.
After seeing the red bag sinking to the bottom, Ruan Mian left the bucket under a big tree and went back to Mingyue Hall.
She planned to go back to Mingyue Hall from the main entrance, and if she went back at this time, no matter if she went back through the gate or through the gate of Mingyue Hall, she would inevitably bump into Eunuch Liu.
□□Bumping into it is tantamount to not calling yourself, and sending it to your door.
As Ruan Mian expected, Ruan Mian bumped into him as soon as he arrived near the Mingyue Hall.
Ruan Mian made way for Eunuch Liu with a low eyebrow. Eunuch Liu was still thinking about Ruan Guiren's palace, why is there no hairpin?
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar maidservant and took a closer look.
"Why are you here?" Eunuch Liu stopped and asked Ruan Mian in a sharp voice.
Chapter 7
Ruan Mian saluted Eunuch Liu with his head, "Responding to Eunuch Liu, the servant just...just now..." blushing in embarrassment.
Eunuch Liu frowned slightly, and asked impatiently, "Speak up if you have anything to say." He didn't have extra time.
Ruan Mian closed her eyes, "The servant found out... Kui Shui, so she hurried out to look for the nurse in charge, asking for some cloth and plant ashes." The roots of her ears were red and hot.
Eunuch Liu obviously didn't expect this to happen, and he was a little embarrassed, "Cough... our family knows." He walked
around Ruan Mian and left. Ruan Mian watched him walk away, then turned around slowly, and let out a sigh of relief. , finally all right.
Ruan Mian returned to her room, drank a cup of hot water, and Yan Zi went back to the house, "Ruan Mian? When did you come back?" Ruan Mian put down the water glass, "Just now, by the way,
Eunuch Liu went to Ruan Guiren's place. Did you search?"
Yanzi nodded, "I searched, but I couldn't find it." It is definitely impossible to find it.
"Where is nobleman Ruan? Have you been disturbed?" Ruan Mian asked again.
Yan Zi just came back from Ruan Guiren's Hall, "It looks okay, but it's a bit out of control, maybe it's still frightened."
Ruan Mian hesitated, "I'd better go and see her."
Yan Zi nodded in agreement, " If Ruan Guiren knew that you missed her, I don't know how happy I would be." "
I'll pass by Ruan Guiren first, Yanzi, you can rest for a while." Ruan Mian patted Yanzi's shoulder lightly.
Ruan Mian went to Ruan Guiren's palace again, but luckily escaped this time, Ruan Si probably had quite a lot of concubines' eyeliner by her side, it's really too easy to secretly want to make trouble.
Take this time as an example, Concubine Wan Gui definitely didn't know that someone would see through her trick. If it wasn't for the guards not searching the maid, Ruan Mian would not have thought about it at all.
Withdrawing her thoughts, Ruan Mian stepped into Ruan Guiren's hall. Ruan Si was anxiously grabbing the handkerchief in the hall, and saw Ruan Mian entering the hall.
"Mian'er!" Ruan Guiren sat up at once, stepped forward and grabbed Ruan Mian's arm.
The personal maid, Xiao Hong, quickly closed the door. Seeing that she was safe and well, Mrs. Ruan finally let go of the big stone in her heart.
"Mian'er?" Ruan Guiren didn't know how to ask.
Ruan Mian asked her to sit down, "Sister, I'm fine."
Ruan Guiren saw that she didn't seem to be lying, and his face looked better.
"However, if this matter is one, it is easy to have another. The maids serving in this hall, Ruan Guiren, are healthy, so only one or two people can be left to serve." Ruan Mian reminded Ruan Si very softly.
Ruan Guiren was stunned for a moment, and naturally understood Ruan Mian's meaning, "My lord knows." She had also thought about it, and she might not only have Concubine Wan Gui's eyeliner in her palace.
Ruan Mian didn't say anything more. Xiaohong was brought by Ruan Guiren from the house, so she must be trustworthy, but...she looked out the window at the casual figure.
Ruan Guiren obviously noticed too, she tightened the veil in her hand, did she really think she was weak and incompetent?
Ruan Mian stopped Xiaohong who was about to go out to check, and winked at her, don't startle the snake, even if the eyeliner is removed, the queen and concubine will not let it go, they will re-install the eyeliner, Ruan Guiren now He is just a nobleman with no power in his family and no backer behind him.
Unless he is favored by the emperor, but the emperor is passionate, how can he be devoted to a concubine for a long time? In the end, it is still the fish in the hands of others, at the mercy of others.
Now I can only keep my composure and don't let other maidservants take advantage of it. It's better to be careful in everything.
Ruan Si pondered for a while. Now she has not even received the favor of the emperor, which means that she can only defend now, but not attack. Her nails are digging into her flesh. Concubine Wan Gui... Ruan Mian does not exist as a maid outside the door
. She really wanted to get up, but the consequences of getting up just backfired, and she could only take one step at a time.
"Ruan Guiren, since there is nothing else to do, the servant will leave." Ruan Mian said to Ruan Si.
Ruan Si restrained her thoughts, and showed a soft smile, "Go back and rest quickly, by the way, Xiao Hong, give Mian'er the food I prepared." Xiao Hong gave
Ruan Mian a small burden, Ruan Mian couldn't Knowing what is inside, "Thank you Ruan Guiren."
When he came out of the hall, Ruan Mian pinched it with his hands, it seemed to be some pies, and the pies could just be sent to the sixth prince, holding the little bundle in his arms middle.
Just as she was walking, a maid rushed over and snatched the little bundle given to her.
Ruan Mian knew that someone was watching her, but what she didn't expect was that this court lady dared to do something.
The maid, who was wearing exactly the same palace maid's attire as Ruan Mian, snatched the small bundle in her hand with a perverted look.
"What are you doing?" Ruan Mian didn't rush back immediately, but asked her calmly.
The maid Xiaoqing snorted coldly, "Looking at you sneaking out of Noble Ruan's palace, don't you have something valuable hidden in your bag?"
Ruan Mian pretended to be a little flustered, "This is just Noble Ruan It’s just snacks for slaves, you...don’t talk nonsense.”
Seeing her flustered look, Xiaoqing was even more sure that the prostitute’s concubine Wan Guifei’s hairpin was in the package, so she said, obviously she saw Seeing Xiaoru put the hairpin under Ruan Guiren's mattress, why was it not found.
"Since you don't think there is any, then ask the nanny to identify it." Xiaoqing shook the burden in her hands a few times.
Ruan Mian frowned because her movement was too vigorous, "Don't be so vigorous."
Xiaoqing sneered again when she saw that she was so precious and burdensome.
"What are you talking about here when you're not going to work?" Mammy happened to pass by here.
When Ruan Mian heard Mammy's voice, she ran to Mammy's side in a crying voice, "Mother, she robs slaves and slanders slaves for stealing things."
Mammy saw the bundle in Xiaoqing's hand, "Say, what happened?"
Xiaoqing was a little anxious, she didn't expect her to cry first, for fear that the nanny would punish her indiscriminately.
"Mum, this servant saw her sneaking out of Ruan Guiren's palace, and thought that Concubine Wan's lost hairpin has not been found so far, so I suspect that it is in Ruan Mian's baggage." Xiaoqing must be confident in her hairpin in the
baggage But the nanny frowned, what Concubine Wan lost was a hairpin? How did Xiaoqing know that what Concubine Wan Gui lost was a hairpin?
"Bring it here." Mammy said with a serious face.
Xiao please quickly put the burden in the hands of the nanny, Ruan Mian is acting as a complete set, trying to snatch the burden.
"This is the dessert Ruan Guiren gave me! Why do you want to slander me carelessly?" Ruan Mian's tears were shining, coupled with this delicate and lovely face, it really made people feel pity.
Mammy had to admit that this little girl was indeed very good looking.
When Xiaoqing saw Ruan Mian's charming face, she wanted to tear it to pieces!
"Okay, since it's for food, it's okay to open it and have a look." Nanny said.
Xiaoqing glanced at Ruan Mian arrogantly, but Ruan Mian was laughing in her heart. She is proud now, and she will not even have time to regret it later.
"It's okay to open it, but she robbed the slave and put such a big crime on the slave's head, ruining the slave's reputation, maybe because of her slave's life, she will lose her life, woooooo!!" Ruan
Mianda Crying loudly deafened the mother's eardrums, "It's alright, alright, stop howling!"
Ruan Mian refused to listen, and was about to cry, the louder the better, it shocked the other two nobles in the other halls Coming out, of course Ruan Si heard her sister crying, her face turned pale, and she ran out in a hurry.
"What's the matter? What are you yelling for?" Yu Guiren's head was aching from hearing this.
Qin Guiren had the same doubts as Yu Guiren, and seeing that Yu Guiren had spoken out, she didn't ask any more questions.
Ruan Mian immediately covered her mouth, her two Qiushui eyes were full of panic and tears, and she dared to choke silently.
Seeing that Mr. Yugui felt guilty that she shouldn't be so cruel to her, she softened her tone, "If you have anything to do, you can ask your master to decide."
Ruan Mian nodded and was still crying, pretending but trying very hard to calm down. mood.
"Back... Hui Yu nobleman's words, this servant just feels aggrieved. She inexplicably robbed this servant of her burden, and... and falsely accused this servant of stealing Concubine Wan's hairpin! This servant is just a stutterer, but she..." Ruan Mian's tears kept
falling Luo, crying very wronged and sad. Mrs. Yu is not very fond of scrambling, so naturally she can't understand this kind of thing, so she glanced at Xiaoqing, "Mother
, what she said is true."
Qing really stole Ruan Mian's baggage."
"Yu nobleman, Qin nobleman, this matter is because the slaves robbed her of her baggage, just because she saw her sneaking out of Ruan nobleman's palace, and she was afraid that there would be something in her bundle. The noble concubine's hairpin, the servants also don't want Mingyue Palace to be wronged by unknown people."
Xiaoqing never knew that Ruan Mian could be so troublesome, but she firmly believed that there must be a hairpin in this bundle.
Eunuch Liu didn't even find it. This hairpin must have been discovered by Ruan Guiren and hidden in a hidden place, and now Ruan Mian was transferred away. After all, Ruan Mian was her sister.
Noble Yu yelled, "Shut up! You know what you're talking about?" This matter is so important, how can you talk nonsense.
Xiaoqing was startled, and immediately knelt down, "Master Yu, please forgive me, this servant begs Mammy to open the bundle to see what's going on." She insisted that Mammy open the bundle.
Ruan Mian wiped her tears, "It's fine to open the bag, but if you don't have what you said, you snatch my bag, slander me for nothing, and almost drag the entire Mingyue Palace, what should you do? I believe that Yimao has always been fair. , I will definitely give an explanation to me and the entire Mingyue Palace."
She was waiting for this moment, and she didn't ask how Xiaoqing would be punished. In front of Yu Guiren and Qin Guiren, he did not dare to show any intention of covering up.
Mammy didn't want to protect anyone, so she naturally treated her fairly.
"Drag it down and beat it hard for thirty boards." This was not said by the mother, but by Qin Guiren, who has been silent all this time.
Ruan Mian didn't expect Qin Guiren to show up. Mammy originally wanted to say that she would play twenty boards hard, but Qin Guiren didn't expect Qin Guiren to speak up.
Xiaoqing's face turned pale, and then she calmed down. The Empress said that if there is any problem, she will send someone to rescue her.
Ruan Si had been standing not far away and listening. She wanted to go forward, but Ruan Mian, who had her back turned to her, stopped her with gestures. She pinched her palms. If she guessed correctly, Xiao Qing was the queen's eyeliner.
Chapter 8
Facing the punishment proposed by Ruan Mian, Xiaoqing took a deep breath, but her body kept shaking. At this moment, she would not let go of the burden in Ruan Mian's hands.
Perhaps even Ruan Mian didn't know that there was a golden hairpin given by the emperor, Xiaoqing was very sure.
Ruan Mian smiled in her heart, she really didn't know where her self-confidence came from, but she showed some uneasiness on her face.
"It's better..." Ruan Mian looked like he wanted to regret it, Xiaoqing immediately snatched it up.
"If there is no imperial concubine Wan's hairpin in the package, the servant is willing to bear this punishment." Xiaoqing was afraid that Ruan Mian would go back on his word, anyway, the empress had promised to help her.
Mommy has been hearing Xiaoqing say it's a hairpin, she doesn't know that what Concubine Wan Gui lost is a hairpin, why is she so sure? And she said so with certainty, as if she had seen Concubine Wan's hairpin appearing in Ruan Guiren's hall.
It is obvious that both Yu Guiren and Qin Guiren heard something tricky from Xiaoqing's mouth.
Ruan Si has been listening, looking at Ruan Mian's back, feeling very uncomfortable. Not only can she not protect her own sister, but she also wants her own sister to protect her...
Mammy doesn't favor anyone at all, "Both In that case, the old slave just unwraps the bundle."
Mammy unwrapped the bundle in front of several people, and there was food inside, nothing else at all.
Xiaoqing's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is that possible?" How could it not be there? Where did the hairpin go? Could it be that he will disappear in Ruan Guiren's palace?
Mammy looked coldly at Xiaoqing, whose face turned pale instantly, and before she could speak, a gentle voice sounded behind them.
"I think I have never treated you badly, why do you slander me and my sister like this?" Ruan Si's face was full of sadness, and her body was even more crumbling.
"Ruan Guiren." Seeing that she was about to fall, Mammy hurried forward to support her.
Xiaoqing looked at Ruan Si in disbelief, then at the package full of snacks, "The hairpin must be in your hall!" If it's not here, it must be still in the hall.
Ruan Si looked at her disappointedly, "I have never seen the hairpin you mentioned before, so why did you say that?"
Yu Guiren felt very strange, "How do you know that Concubine Wan Gui lost the hairpin?" Hairpin?"
Ruan Mian pretended to be puzzled after appeasing Mrs. Ruan Gui, "I remember that when Eunuch Liu searched, he only said it was Concubine Wan's precious thing, but didn't say what kind of precious thing it was." Ruan Mian's words continued
. It turned out that Yu Guiren and Qin Guiren questioned her very much. This matter was related to Mingyue Palace, and they didn't want Mingyue Palace to have the reputation of stealing the imperial gifts.
"Come on, arrest this maidservant first." Yu Guiren frowned.
Xiaoqing never expected that things would develop to this scene, "It wasn't the servant who did it, the servant just saw someone put the hairpin under Ruan Guiren's mattress." "Ruan Guiren!
Ruan Guiren!" Xiaohong was anxious Shouting Ruan Si who passed out.
Among the people Ruan Mian quickly pinched her, Yu Guiren and Qin Guiren were startled by her, and the whole Mingyue Palace was in chaos for a while.
When the emperor heard that Ruan Guiren was unconscious, he was anxious, so he rushed to the Mingyue Hall.
Ruan Si had already woken up and was crying silently. When she saw the emperor coming, she couldn't believe it at first, and then she snuggled into his arms and wept endlessly.
"Woooooo... Your Majesty, this concubine is in the harem and has always kept herself safe, but now she has been framed and almost ruined my innocence." Ruan Silihua was in tears as she was hugged tightly by the emperor.
"I already know about this matter, I sent people to investigate, my concubine don't cry, I feel distressed when I see it." The emperor lovingly wiped away Ruan Si's tears.
Ruan Mian didn't dare to raise her head, it turned out that this was the emperor, and her voice was still very young, which gave her a gentle and elegant feeling.
But thinking about what the Sixth Prince and the Emperor Wenzhong did, one cannot see the surface. As for the Emperor, she seems to remember that his full name is Murong Jin.
The name is not as nice as the Sixth Prince's, and she doesn't need to look up to know the envious and jealous eyes that Yu Guiren and Qin Guiren cast on Ruan Guiren.
It was getting late, and she was worried that the sixth prince would be hungry. Fortunately, the food on the bag was still safe, so she sneaked to give it to the sixth prince at night. He and his children would definitely like to eat these snacks more.
After a while, Ruan Mian and the other maidservants were dismissed, and Ruan Mian walked back to where she lived. What happened next was not something she could know as a third-class maidservant.
But Ruan Guiren felt that every step she took was just right. It seemed that Ruan Si's becoming a concubine was not accidental, she had such wisdom.
Ruan Mian believed that if Ruan Guiren seized the opportunity, she would not easily make those who framed her feel better, and being favored by the emperor was better than anything else.
After letting go of her heart, she carried the little bundle in her arms and entered the house.
Yanzi had been waiting anxiously at the side, and was greatly relieved to see her push the door in without incident.
"I'm back, how is it? Are you okay? Where is Mr. Ruan Gui?" Yan Zi hurriedly stepped forward to grab Ruan Mian's hand.
Ruan Mian calmly put the bundle on the table, and whispered a few words into Yanzi's ear.
Yanzi was terrified when she heard that, but luckily nothing happened in the end, "Be more careful in the future, I'm afraid you will be targeted by others."
Although Ruan Mian's words were general, she could still guess and make a decision. Concubine Wan and the Empress must be responsible for all this. She has seen this kind of thing a lot in the palace.
Concubine Wan Gui and the Queen wanted to deal with the favored Ruan Guiren, and it was not easy to start again, but if they dealt with Ruan Mian, it would be like strangling an ant.
Ruan Mian naturally knew, but what can I do? I can only pray that my luck will be better. Even if something happens to her, who can she turn to as a handmaiden, Ruan Guiren? Maybe she dragged nobleman Ruan into the water, so she could only resign herself to fate, "I know, Yanzi, you are tired today, go to rest early."
Ruan Mian patted her on the shoulder, and later she had to find a chance to go to six In the palace of the prince.
He took out two oiled paper bags and stuffed them in Yanzi's hands. Yanzi wanted to refuse, but Ruan Mian would not take them back.
Night officially fell, snowflakes floated in the sky, and the ground outside was gradually covered with thicker and thicker snow.
The people in the house gradually fell asleep, Ruan Mian quietly opened the door and went out, holding a bundle in her hands, and she tightened her collar. Although it was not as cold when it snowed as when it melted, it was still very cold.
Ruan Mian walked quickly towards the low wall, and skillfully climbed out of the wall. At this time, there was no one in the palace.
She ran in the direction of Rupin Hall. Fortunately, the snow didn't accumulate too much at this time, and there was no big obstacle for her to run.
Arriving outside the Rupin Hall, Ruan Mian looked through the crack of the door, it was pitch black inside, probably because the Sixth Prince didn't have an oil lamp.
She quietly opened the door of the hall and walked in, accustomed to the darkness of the night, Ruan Mian could see the road clearly.
Ruan Mian came to the inner door of the hall lightly, and Ruan Mian gently opened the door regardless of the snow falling on her body.
Murong Chen's small body tensed up, thinking that someone was going to put some rats or snakes in his palace again, he closed his eyes numbly.
Chapter 9
Ruan Mian thought that the sixth prince was sleeping, so she found the table in the dark and put all the snacks from the burden on the table.
It was found that the window was opened again, the window was relatively high, the sixth prince was only five years old, even if he wanted to close the window, he couldn't close it, and could only let the cold wind blow in.
Ruan Mian was shivering from the cold, just as she put down her snack, she hurried forward to close the window.
After the window was closed, it was finally not so cold in the house. Another day I had to think about how to close the window tightly so that it would not be easily blown open by the strong wind.
Murong Chen huddled into a small ball, hearing the sound of closing the window, he was even more uneasy, and the fragrance from the thick cotton coat covering his body was much warmer than before.
After Ruan Mian closed the window, she walked lightly to the side of the sixth prince, and stretched out his hand to cover him again with the padded coat that was askew to one side.
Compared to the first time she came here, he should be warmer now, but he still couldn't withstand the cold wind and heavy snow.
Ruan Mian sighed softly, it would be great if there was charcoal to keep him warm, but unfortunately she was shivering from the cold, where did she get the ability to prepare charcoal for him.
After finishing everything, Ruan Mian quietly went out the door and left.
Murong Chen thought that the man had put the "thing" on his bed, and he was gritting his teeth and waiting to be bitten. He waited for a long time, and then fell asleep in the warmth that came over him.
As soon as Ruan Mian walked out of the Rupin Hall in the snow, she saw a mighty person, Ruan Mian quickly hid, and after a while, she poked her head out there again, and there was someone Guarded near the Mingyue Hall.
It's broken, what can she do? Now in the middle of the night, you can't say that you are looking for plant ash, right? Who would believe it, maybe even the fuss with Eunuch Liu today would be exposed.
Ruan Mian looked again, and there were only guards near the gate of the Mingyue Hall. There should be no one guarding the wall, so it should be fine, just have to go around.
She roughly planned the route in her mind, and ran quickly in a certain direction, bypassing a deserted temple, next to a forest of wintersweet.
You have to go through the wintersweet forest to get around the back wall of the Mingyue Hall.
Ruan Mianmao walked through the forest with her waist down, trying not to let the snow fall on her body, but it was inevitable that most of her body was covered with snow, and her little face was covered with snow. She didn't notice that there was someone in front of her. .
Unable to stand firmly on the snow, she fell down. Fortunately, the snow was not thick, and the snow blurred Ruan Mian's eyes. She wiped her eyes to wipe off the snow so as not to affect her vision. Then she struggled to get up, climbed After getting up, she didn't take a few more steps when Ruan Mian fell again, and she was so anxious that she wanted to scold Xue.
With a chuckle from her side, Ruan Mian stopped breathing for a moment, and paused when she got up, with her heart hanging in her throat.
A slender and fair hand stretched out in front of her eyes. Ruan Mian tensed her body, and slowly moved her gaze upwards. The man's face was like a crown jade, and he looked like Pan An.
It's just that he was wearing a bright yellow robe that was exposed from the inside of the coat, which made Ruan Mian feel like a heavy blow.
And her two autumn eyes were red from the cold, and her small face covered by snowflakes still couldn't conceal the astonishment of her face, like a rabbit spirit in the snow, it was deeply imprinted in Murong Jin's eyes.
Almost choking her throat, she quickly got up and ran towards the distance. Ruan Mian was so frightened that she made no sound at all, and ran towards the wall at her fastest speed.
Originally thought that she would accept his kindness, but she didn't expect that she ignored his helping hand and ran away.
He straightened up and looked at the disappearing figure, Murong Jin didn't set out to chase after him, his eyes were like deep pools, his emotions were unclear.
Ruan Mian's head can't think at all, the bright yellow fabric on that corner is the color only the emperor can wear...
Chapter 10
Her little face was pale, and when it was over, Ruan Mian felt as if she was being strangled by the neck, and she breathed heavily.
She thought someone would chase her, but she hid behind a big tree for a while, but no one came after her, so Ruan Mian quickly took advantage of this time to climb up the wall.
After climbing up the wall deftly, she took a deep breath and shook off the snow on her body. There was so much snow on her body that she almost looked like a snowman.
After patting the snow off her body, Ruan Mian walked into the house where she lived, and the door opened before she opened it. When the sleepy swallow opened the door and saw someone standing at the door, she almost yelled in fright. , was covered by Ruan Mian in time.
Ruan Mian didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her if Swallow yelled and attracted the guards guarding the gate of Mingyue Palace, Ruan Mian was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.
Swallow woke up from the fright, quickly closed the door, and dragged her to the gazebo in front of her through the wind and snow.
"Why is your face covered with snow?" What did Yan Zi think about her?
Ruan Mian heard blood at first, but it took a few seconds to realize that she meant snow.
"I went to the toilet. I didn't know that the snow was falling so deep. I accidentally fell on the snow and my face was covered." Ruan Mian wiped her face with her sleeve, but luckily it was covered by snow. It was another night, and the emperor probably couldn't see what she looked like.
Yanzi couldn't bear to see her treat her face so rough, so she took out a clean handkerchief and wiped it for her.
Ruan Mian took off her clothes, washed her face in hot water, wiped her hands and feet again, and then fell asleep under the covers.
It was another morning, and Ruan Mian got up early to sweep the snow. After one night, the snow on the road was very thick.
A path had to be swept out for the concubines to walk around, and of course Ruan Mian had to join Sweeping Xue's veterans.
Ruan Mian was always restless, afraid that someone would come looking for her. Last night was too dangerous, and she would have to stay as far away from the Lamei Forest in the future.
Absently sweeping the floor, her female celebrity is far from being in place, and she doesn't know when it will be the second-class maid's exam.
"Swallow, when is the quiz for second-class court ladies?" Ruan Mian had to ask for the exact date.
Swallow is sweeping vigorously. Compared with doing other tasks, it is easier to sweep snow, and you can also play with snow.
"About ten... three days, we'll be there soon, you need to hurry up." Yanzi was so anxious that she couldn't speak when she thought of Ruan Mian's female celebrity.
So fast? Ruan Mian frowned slightly, then she must hurry up, the shoes for the sixth prince should be made the day after tomorrow.
Nuhong... She must quickly master it during this period of time. According to Yanzi, the nuns can't see you pass, it's just to see how Nuhong is.
Ruan Mian clenched her fists, no matter what, she had to live this time.
Murong Chen woke up in the Rupin Palace
, the memory of someone entering his palace last night, as the drowsiness subsided, his thin sunken face showed a bit of vigilance.
He checked the bed carefully, but there were no rats or snakes on his bed. From the corner of his eye, he saw the greased paper bags piled up on the table, and his lifeless little face froze for a moment.
He put on a big coat with his body temperature, covered his small body, and smelled the fragrance of the coat, and his heart felt more at ease.
When he came to the table, Murong Chen stared at the oil bag on the table, hesitated for a while, and stretched out his hand towards the oil bag.
He carefully opened the oil bag. It was a pastry he had never seen before. He stared at the pastry. After a while, he untied the other paper bags one by one.
It was all snacks. Murong Chen looked at the closed window with his big eyes, then looked down at the coat on him, and then picked up a snack with his small hand and put it in his mouth. It was very sweet... Two days passed, after Ruan Mian made up his
mind , the female celebrity's progress gradually improved, and the shoes for the sixth prince were made half a day in advance.
Ruan Mian kept looking for opportunities to sneak out during the day, but she couldn't. She was so anxious to wear them for the sixth prince. He even sewed two pairs of cotton-stuffed socks for him, which can be worn while sleeping and walking. After all, cold starts from the feet. .
But she kept busy during the day, and she didn't find a chance to go out until night. She said she had a stomachache and went to the toilet, so that she could have a longer time.
After Rupin Hall arrived, Ruan Mian entered the hall, the window was still open, and she immediately closed the window again.
There were obviously less snacks on the table, Ruan Mian still felt that he didn't eat enough, maybe he was afraid of starving.
Putting the newly made shoes and socks for him in front of the bed, the sixth prince was indeed asleep this time.
Ruan Mian took away his worn-out shoes and put the new ones at the foot of the bed.
She was afraid that the sixth prince was too young to sleep with socks on, so she put thick socks on him after confirming that he was in a deep sleep.
The five-year-old child slept soundly, and Ruan Mian finally felt relieved, and reached out again to take out the three big paper bags in his arms, and put them into the bed of the sixth prince.
I almost forgot to give him the two big chicken legs Ruan Guiren gave today and the two big steamed buns she saved. Although she is very greedy, the sixth prince is growing up and needs to eat something nutritious.
After finishing everything, Ruan Mian quietly left Rupin Hall with the old shoes.
