Section 20: Demotion to Palace Maid

In this way, Qi Zi became a palace servant of Yunxiu Palace, and her status changed from a noble to a servant in the mouth of Grandma Wang. Grandma Wang led her to a courtyard and told her: "This is Hui's residence."

, it is specially designed for palace residents to live in, and you will be a member of this place from now on."

Qi Zi didn't speak and was used to answering in silence, because what could she say at this time?

Grandma Wang continued: "Don't think that because you were the empress before, you are superior to others. I have the final say here, and the emperor asked me to teach you the rules. I can't resist."

"Stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you want to say?" Qi Zi said angrily, not wanting to see her talking so arrogantly.

"Humph." She chuckled and said, "You will know later."

Her expression made Qi Zi feel scared. Is there such a terrible person in the world? Grandma Wang didn't look at Qi Zi and shouted to a blank space: "Aunt Duan, Aunt Duan."

"Come here, come here." From the corner of the courtyard ran out a bloated woman in her thirties, wearing an apron around her waist, her sleeves rolled up, and wiping her hands on the apron from time to time.

"What have you been doing? It took you so long to come out." Grandma Wang roared angrily.

"Reply to grandma, I'm doing laundry." Aunt Duan said with a playful smile.

Grandma Wang turned her head and glanced at Qi Zi and said: "Take her down, give her some palace clothes, and tell her some of the rules in the palace, so that I don't have to ask questions in order to train her. I'll come in the evening."

Pick her up and report to Yunxiu Palace."

"Yes, Aunt Wang." Aunt Duan looked at the cold-faced woman and said.

"Yeah." Grandma Wang gave her a hateful look and left.

"Come with me." The person who was smiling playfully just now suddenly lowered his face and said in a stiff tone after Grandma Wang left.

Qi Zi raised the corner of his mouth coldly and thought: The palace is really not a place where one should be alone. Everywhere is a slave and a servant, trying to please everyone.

Following Aunt Duan to a room, she took out a set of clothes from the cabinet and threw them to Qi Zi and said, "Quickly change them, I don't have time to waste time here with you."

Qi Zi silently changed his clothes, and the door suddenly opened. Cui Yi rushed in and said, "My dear, I finally found you."

"Empress?" Aunt Duan looked at Qi Zi and said in surprise.

"You heard wrong, it's not the empress, my surname is Liang." Qi Zi said, pulling Cui Yi and saying, "Why are you here."

"I went to the Imperial Garden and waited for a long time, but you didn't come back. I was anxious and looked everywhere. I just heard about what happened in the Imperial Garden, so I rushed over. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Cuiyi cried and whispered: "My dear, why are you doing this? If you beg the emperor, he won't let you suffer here."

"Cuiyi, you don't understand. I don't care about his sympathy, let alone his charity."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Aunt Duan said loudly.

"Nothing, we have finished talking, what do you want me to do next?" Qi Zi looked at Aunt Duan and said, the temperament of her words made Aunt Duan a little timid.

Aunt Duan calmed down and said, "I will assign you a place to live. Now the palace rooms in the courtyard are full. Let's see who is willing to squeeze into the same bed with you."

"Me." Cuiyi stepped forward and said, "Aunt Duan, I am willing to let her live with me."

Aunt Duan glanced at Qi Zi and said: "Your fortune is good, but you can say ugly things first. Don't think that just because you are good-looking, you can wander around the palace. Be careful that Aunt Wang will break your legs, huh."

"Don't worry Aunt Duan, I will keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't run around." Cui Yi assured her.

"What's your name?" Aunt Duan asked fiercely.

Qi Zi looked at her in confusion and thought: Why do I need to tell you my name? Cui Yi pulled her sleeve corner and said, "This is a rule. All palace people must be on the list."

"Qizi."

"Qi Zi? It's the name of a medicine." Grandma Wang laughed.

Yes, it is indeed the name of the medicine. When Mrs. Yang learned that she might not have any more children, she kindly hoped that the eldest lady would have a child, so she named her daughter a medicine - Qi Zi, which means beggar. How many times?

Years later, the lady gave birth to a son as she wished, but she was kicked out of the house.

Aunt Duan went out after registering, and Qi Zi followed Cuiyi to the room where she lived. It was a small room with a bed, a wardrobe, a small table, and a small dressing room.

Taiwan. It can be seen that the palace guest room in Gong Hui's apartment is very tense.

"Empress, please come in." Cui Yi said with a smile.

Qi Zi walked away, sat by the bed and said, "Cuiyi, don't call me empress anymore. I don't like others calling me that. Besides, I'm just like you now, so you can call me Qi Zi."

"I don't dare, slave."

"Listen, I'm not a queen now." Qi Zi said seriously.

"Yes, yes, Qi...zi."

When Cui Yi called her name, Qi Zi smiled, a very relaxed smile. This smile brought back her great nostalgia for the past.

"Come and sit down." Qi Zi said. Cui Yi walked over and sat down gently. "From now on, we will sleep on the same bed."

"Yeah." Cuiyi nodded with a smile.

Qi Zi asked: "Are you still in Zhilan Garden now?"

"Well, before receiving the dispatch from Grandma Wang, I am still in Zhilan Garden. What about you, Qizi?"

"Me? The emperor asked me to go to Yunxiu Palace." Qi Zi stood up and walked to the dressing table and said nonchalantly. Unexpectedly, Cui Yi reacted greatly, and she said in surprise: "What? Yunxiu Palace?"

"What's wrong? Cui Yi, we are all palace people, isn't it the same wherever we go?" Qi Zi said easily.

"How could the emperor let you go to Yunxiu Palace?" Cui Yi said anxiously.

Qi Zi's attitude and feelings towards Cui Yi are a little puzzling, why can't he go to Yunxiu Palace? "Cui Yi, what's going on?"

"Qi Zi, I don't know what to say. It's just that the emperor asked you to go to Concubine Jin, and I feel very uneasy."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"How can you not be worried? Do you know? Eight palace members have died in Yunxiu Palace."
