Wei Jingxuan glanced at Mrs. Su who was walking over, shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I just wanted to pray for the Queen, so I embroidered a few mugwort leaves, and the Queen sent me to ask what was going on. I didn't know that I offended Madam Song.
Grandma was not happy and punished me by washing so many clothes as soon as I came back."
Xia Qing scolded: "You are so brave. You dare to embroider things on the Queen's clothes. Aren't you afraid that your head will fall to the ground?" When Wei Jingxuan was taken away, she was worried that something would happen.
Wei Jingxuan lightly stuck out her tongue and said: "The Queen is a philanthropic person, and she will always ask for someone's head."
"Having said that, I must never do the same thing again in the future, but not every time I have such good luck." Faced with Xia Qing's words, Wei Jingxuan nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Mrs. Su also came to her side and said: "Okay, everything is over. Let's help Jingxuan wash her clothes quickly. She alone may not be able to finish washing her clothes until dawn.
, In addition, I will call Ying'er as well."
Xia Qing nodded, and the four of them washed the clothes together until midnight. When they were drying, Xia Qing sneezed several times in succession. Su asked with concern: "Did you catch a cold?"
Xia Qing rubbed her red nose and said, "Maybe, my nose always feels itchy."
Su Shi said: "In that case, go back quickly and drink some hot water, then go to bed early. Jingxuan and I will do the rest together."
Xia Qing originally disagreed, but couldn't stand Su's repeated persuasion, so she had to leave. As soon as she left, Su found an excuse to send Ying'er away, and then solemnly said: "Jingxuan, tell your story exactly as it is.
I’ll say it again.”
Wei Jingxuan had been looking for a chance to talk to her, so she quickly repeated what she said, and then said worriedly: "Sister Su, you said that after I followed your words, the queen would keep me by her side, but... the queen...
He didn't say anything, he just ordered me to come back. Sister Su, are all our efforts in vain?"
"No." Mrs. Su said confidently, "If I guess correctly, Kunning Palace will send someone to find you again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Wei Jingxuan didn't have much confidence and said anxiously: "What if she doesn't come?"
"She will definitely come." Seeing that Wei Jingxuan still looked worried, Su comforted her: "It doesn't matter even if the queen really doesn't come. We can find another way. In short, I will definitely let you leave Xinzheku."
Wei Jingxuan nodded gratefully, "Sister Su, why are you so nice to me?"
Su Shi smiled warmly and said: "I don't know, maybe it's fate. I've never been so in love with someone." After a pause, she said again: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, and quickly hang up the clothes.
Okay, then go back to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow."
Wei Jingxuan nodded, and the two of them worked together to dry the washed clothes on the bamboo poles, and then dragged their tired bodies back to sleep.
Every day in Xinzheku is the same, except that work is work and remains the same. There are very few people who are lucky enough to leave Xinzheku; more people are getting older in the work day after day.
until death...
When Nanny Song woke up in the morning and saw the clothes that had been washed as scheduled, she sneered, called Wei Jingxuan and the others over, pointed at Su and Xia Qing, and said, "Did you two help her wash them together?"
"No, the slaves have never done anything." Although the two Su family members repeatedly denied it, Granny Song could not believe it. She sneered: "I have only been here for a few months and you have turned a deaf ear to my words. If this continues,
But it's okay. Someone comes and pulls the three of them down and gives each of them twenty canes as punishment."
Before the supervisor and eunuch had time to reply, a cool voice said: "Hey, Grandma Song is so majestic. She screamed and blamed her so early in the morning. Should she also blame our family?
"
Mother Song quickly turned back to look at the person who made the noise, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Zhu, why are you here?"
Zhu Yong looked at the deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and said, "Don't you want Grandma Song to see our home?"
Nanny Song quickly denied it and said, "Eunuch Song is really joking. I'm so happy that you can come here. It's just that Xinzheku is a cold place. I really didn't expect you to come here for two days in a row."
Zhu Yong smiled faintly, pointed at the Su family and said, "I wonder what mistake the three of them made to make Nanny Song so angry."
"Going back to my father-in-law, these three people are covering up each other's mistakes and treating the rules of the palace as nothing. They are really audacious. I will punish them only when I am angry. After all, this is for their sake. Let them not rely on a little cleverness.
Act wantonly."
"So, Aunt Song has really worked hard." After saying that, Zhu Yong said to the Su family: "Why don't you thank Aunt Song quickly?"
Facing Zhu Yong's words, Nanny Song couldn't figure out his intentions and asked tentatively: "My father-in-law is here today, but what other orders does the Queen have?"
Zhu Yong smiled slightly and said: "The Queen specially asked our family to reward you. Since you took charge of Xinzheku, you have managed Xinzheku in an orderly manner and there has never been any mistakes. The Queen is very happy."
When Nanny Song heard this, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and she bowed and said, "I just did what I should do, how dare I be praised by the Queen."
Zhu Yong glanced at the palace attendant who came with him behind him. The latter immediately stepped forward knowingly and handed the tray in his hand to Nanny Song. On the red lacquered and gold-painted tray were several items embroidered with gold and silver threads.
The Queen's Clothes, "These clothes must be washed carefully, and not a single embroidery thread can be broken. Otherwise, at the least, you will be thrown into the police department to get slapped with a board, and at the worst, you will even lose your life."
Aunt Song agreed repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will keep an eye on them carefully and I will never make any mistakes."
Zhu Yong smiled slightly and said: "Mother Song has misunderstood. The Queen has asked you to wash these clothes. You must not use other people's hands."
"Me?" Nanny Song pointed at herself in astonishment. She had never washed her clothes since she became the steward of Xin Zheku. Even her own clothes were taken care of by the palace staff.
Zhu Yong looked at her and said, "Yeah, what's the matter? Isn't Grandma Song unwilling?"
Aunt Song came back to her senses and said quickly: "I am willing to wash the clothes for the queen, but..." before she could continue, Zhu Yong said: "It's fine if you are willing. The queen will use it in the future."
, it must be washed and dried today and tomorrow, you know?"
Nanny Song said in embarrassment: "But it's snowing today. Looking at the intensity of the snow, I'm afraid it won't stop tomorrow. The two days are really too tight. Can father-in-law give me a few more days?"
Zhu Yong smiled and said: "We understand your difficulties, but this is the queen's wish, not ours. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to wash the clothes quickly.
"After Nanny Song nodded, he said to the little eunuch just now: "You stay here and watch."
