038 Red Beans
Xiao Hongdou stood up anxiously, and while agreeing, he quickly picked up the letter and blew on it. After confirming that the ink on the letter had dried, he turned the letter upside down on the table, turned around and opened the door.
"Sister Sisi, do you have a problem with me?"
Lu Sisi, who was waiting patiently behind the door, smiled when she saw Xiao Hongdou, poked her head in the door, and asked curiously: "Xiao Hongdou, I don't see you going to eat, what are you doing in this room?"
Xiaohong blushed, lowered her head and whispered: "I'm not hungry tonight, and I'm just about to write a letter to my family."
"You, the food must be delicious, otherwise what will happen if you don't have enough energy tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Xiao Hongdou blinked in confusion.
Lu Sisi then grabbed Xiao Hongdou's hand with a smile: "Someone came to notify me just now, but I couldn't find you in the dining place. Your Highness will call for you to accompany me tomorrow."
"Your Highness, he..."
Xiao Hongdou's eyes lit up, and she was about to say something, when suddenly several palace maids passed by the two of them, and they glanced at Xiao Hongdou intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Hongdou's eyes suddenly lowered a little, nodded and said: "I understand, thank you Sister Sisi for telling me."
She had a pretty good impression of Lu Sisi. Even though Concubine Chi asked her to deliver those unknown pills last time, Lu Sisi herself finally told Xiao Hongdou to take care of her health.
"Hey, Xiao Hongdou, do you live alone?"
Lu Sisi had no intention of leaving, but just stuck her head inside: "I didn't notice it last time I came here, you are really lucky!"
This is not a special treatment. According to the rules, two maids in the Yingchun Palace share a room. But when Xiaohongdou was assigned, there happened to be one vacant, so she was allowed to live in the room of the two of them.
.
"There's no luck, it's just a coincidence. Sister, you'd better come in."
After letting Lu Sisi into the room, Xiao Hongdou packed up a chair for her to sit on and sat on the bed.
Lu Sisi looked around the room, then at the closed door, and suddenly sighed.
"Did the other sisters in Yingchun Palace say anything to you?
She looked at Xiao Hongdou with concern, but Xiao Hongdou just blinked and lowered his head slightly: "It's okay. The sisters in Yingchun Palace are all very nice and never said anything."
"Don't think I'm a fool." Lu Sisi grabbed Xiao Hongdou's hand and said with a frown: "I've seen this matter much more in the past. There are always some people who don't like the good things of others. I was just raped by Concubine Chi.
When I was selected, some people looked at me and felt unhappy!"
Xiaohongdou just smiled after hearing this, but didn't say anything more.
She suddenly thought of Han Dongwen and how His Highness would never answer questions easily.
"...So, hey, this Yingchun Palace is really annoying!"
Xiao Hongdou could not be heard talking to her for a long time, and Lu Sisi just felt a little sulky for her. Now she lowered her head and suddenly came to Xiao Hongdou's side mysteriously: "Hey, Xiao Hongdou, I heard that your Highness these days
Is it possible that you are very close to Concubine Yin?"
Xiao Hongdou was stunned and just shook his head and said: "I don't know this. Sister, you can see that I haven't served His Highness these past few days. After all, what happened before..."
Only then did she realize that Lu Sisi was only here to get information for Concubine Chi.
It's not disappointing. After all, good intentions are good intentions. If there is an intention behind this good intention, it is only human nature.
Lu Sisi did not hide her disappointment after hearing this: "Yes, you don't know what happened in the past two days... Hey, sister, when you accompanied His Highness out of the palace that day and was assassinated...?"
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Hongdou smiled and shook her head, raising a finger in front of her lips: "Sister Sisi, don't forget that this matter is still taboo, and there is still no result. If you say it nonsense
Maybe it’s just lies.”
Lu Sisi quickly nodded in agreement and asked no more questions.
The two talked for a while, and Lu Sisi still cared about Xiao Hongdou's body, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Oh, if I have the chance, I really want to come over and live with my sister!"
Lu Sisi said with a smile and turned to leave.
"Then if I were sister Sisi's roommate now, I would be very sad to death as soon as sister Sisi leaves."
Xiao Hongdou smiled jokingly, and Lu Sisi just twisted Xiao Hongdou's arm jokingly, turned around and left her room.
"call--"
As if a lot of energy had been consumed, Xiao Hongdou let out a long breath, turned around and leaned against the door panel, looking up at the roof.
"Your Highness..."
She murmured, wondering what she would do with His Highness tomorrow?
But no matter what it is, even if I almost got a knife when I went to the teahouse last time, it is a hundred times, a thousand times better than staying in the Yingchun Palace and suffering these inexplicable anger!
Xiao Hongdou patted her cheek and tried to cheer herself up.
Since I have to see His Highness tomorrow, I should go to bed early tonight and prepare everything before going to bed.
There wasn't much to prepare. Xiao Hongdou bolted the door and gently placed it on the chair where Lu Sisi was sitting just now. She reached out and touched the back of the seat of the chair, and unexpectedly took out a gray cloth bag.
She weighed the cloth bag gently, and solemnly opened it and counted it. No more, no less, it was exactly the twenty gold dollars that the silver note was redeemed for.
"This belongs to His Highness."
She muttered, counted out five gold coins, turned around and stuffed them quietly under the mattress, then tied the cloth bag and the remaining fifteen gold coins tightly and put them in her arms, preparing to hand them to His Highness tomorrow.
After finishing this, she straightened her chair, and suddenly her eyes caught sight of the half-written piece of paper.
The last sentence also reads, "Don't worry, Dad, I have made many friends and I don't feel lonely."
She thought for a moment, picked up her pen, and lightly crossed out this line.
Wrote again:
"Dad, don't worry. Many people want to be friends with me and they all miss me."
In this way, Xiao Hongdou looked at the letter paper with satisfaction and finally put down the pen in her hand.
——————
Early next morning.
Before dawn, the general in the east was turning white, and Xiao Hongdou had already changed into a neat maid's robe and skirt, and came to the door of Han Dongwen's bedroom.
The two palace maids had been waiting here all night, holding hands, obviously a little embarrassed by the cold in this early winter morning.
"Two sisters, thank you for your hard work."
Little Hongdou stepped forward, lowered his head and knelt down and gave a salute.
The two palace maids nodded slightly as a return gesture, and moved aside one to the left and the other to the right, letting the door of the dormitory stand in front of Xiao Hongdou.
Xiao Hongdou took a deep breath, knocked on the door gently, and whispered: "Your Highness, the servant has come in to clean up the house in the morning."
There was no response. This was normal. Han Dongwen could not have woken up so early.
But notification must be done.
Xiao Hongdou nodded towards the two maids, raised her hand and gently pushed open the door of the dormitory.
As expected, Han Dongwen was still lying on the bed, snoring slightly.
Xiao Hongdou smiled slightly, turned around, closed the door, and began to pack up many things in the palace.
"Why does it seem like everything has been turned over by His Highness..."
She found that many things had been moved, and the entire enamel mirror had been turned back.
"Little red bean..."
Han Dongwen's voice suddenly came.
Little Hongdou was startled, turned around quickly and ran over gently.
Upon taking a look, he found that Han Dongwen was still asleep, but he was just talking in his sleep.
She let out a breath, smiled, and began to tidy up Han Dongwen's bedside things.
"Little Hongdou, I'll give this back to you... I'll give it to you... I'm coming back..."
Han Dongwen suddenly muttered again and turned over.
The little red head raised his head and was stunned.
What Han Dongwen held in his hand turned out to be the small jade plaque.
"Your Highness..."
She almost forgot that Han Dongwen hadn't woken up yet and murmured.
"you……"
She was about to say something more when suddenly, Han Dongwen, who was sleeping, grinned:
"Then what, brother is in trouble right now, please lend me some money..."
"No, no, it's not easy for you either. You don't need your..."
"The big one has been saved, I'll think of another way..."
Han Dongwen's mumbling soon turned back into incomprehensible snoring.
Xiao Hongdou stood quietly in front of Han Dongwen's bed and gently closed her eyes.
