Chapter 5: Life in the palace like walking on thin ice
Ruyi didn't know her kindness, so she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Sister, don't you also want to rob me?"
Mo Yan laughed and patted her face, "I can't even hide from these things, so why would I fight against you? It's just that Aunt Liu loves you so much, don't you like to stay with her?"
Ruyi thought hard for a while and replied, "Aunt Liu loves me very much, but the syringe room is too poor. Those sisters are right. No matter how good my aunt is in the syringe room, she is still a palace maid, but serving the empress is different.
Yes, she is the emperor’s beloved concubine. She has more palace routines by staying with the empress. She can also hold her head higher when walking in the palace..."
Moyan suddenly thought that Ruyi was because her family was too poor and her father was ill. She also had two brothers and a younger sister who was waiting for food. Fortunately, there was a man in the village who didn't want to enter the palace, so her mother sold her and exchanged her for a
The palace
Thinking of this, she asked gently, "I understand, you are waiting for the money and want to make more money, right?"
After hearing this, Ruyi's eyes turned red and she nodded silently.
Mo Yan sighed softly and asked again, "After we walked out of the syringe room, the harem is as deep as the sea. You have to be careful every step you take. Aren't you afraid?"
Ruyi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Sister Moyan, don't worry, I will serve my empress well. Aunt Liu also said that I am very smart, and your empress will definitely like me."
She said happily, her eyes were clear, her face was flushed, and she was full of expectation.
"Who's talking bad about me, huh?"
An ordinary-looking middle-aged woman walked in. She looked very gentle. She was wearing a dark purple button-down palace dress. As a steward of the Needle Management Bureau, she had steward-like clothes. She wore an ordinary bun and a hairpin on her temples.
Just a simple and elegant hosta
"Aunt Liu!" Mo Yan stood up and greeted him.
Aunt Liu was holding an antique lunch box in her hand. The lunch box was made of sandalwood and had a white orchid carved on it. At a glance, she knew it was the work of Si Shefang.
In the palace, as a palace maid who relies on crafts for a living, Mo Yan feels very proud. At least she has learned how to live by her crafts if she is no longer in the palace one day.
Compared with those maids who tried every possible means to find a good master or tried every means to get the emperor to pay attention to them, Aunt Liu always taught them that they should stick to their duties.
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Why is aunt here? Are they all gone?"
Aunt Liu replied with a gentle smile, "Well, no matter what birthday it is, everyone makes fun of it. Everyone is tired from working every day, and they still come to socialize and thank me. I was embarrassed, so I left early."
She put the lunch box on the table, opened it, and took out two plates of exquisite side dishes and a bowl of hot white rice. "I know you haven't eaten yet, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some for you. Eat quickly."
Ruyi couldn't help but said, "Girl, you are so partial. You only think of sister Moyan."
"You, if I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have had to go there in person. You still have the nerve to blame me for being partial. You just have no heart." Aunt Liu shook her head, looking helpless.
The three of them sat down around the table
Smell the aroma of rice, Mo Yan felt that he was really hungry, so he picked up the bowl and started eating without being polite.
Ruyi wanted to defend herself, but found that she was really in the wrong, and smiled sheepishly, "I was too excited just now, so... I forgot... Hehe..."
