"I have asked the Queen to transfer Sister Xia to Kunning Palace as an errand. Although she will have to do some menial work, it is better than working in Xinzheku." At this point, she looked at Su guiltily, "Actually...
…I really hope Sister Su can leave here, but…”
Mrs. Su interrupted her and said: "You must never mention me in front of the Queen, let alone ask for mercy. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to help me, but you will also hurt yourself."
"I know, that's why I just called Sister Xia, but I feel really guilty. Obviously... you have helped me so much. Even if I can go to Kunning Palace, it is all because of you, Sister Su."
Su Shi held her hand and said warmly: "You have already called me sister, so it is natural for me to help you. Promise me that you will plead for me when you are qualified to speak in front of the emperor."
"Your Majesty..." Wei Jingxuan glanced at her and whispered: "Sister Su, do you really think I can win the Emperor's eyes?"
Su stroked her delicate cheek and said, "It must be possible. Trust me, sister. I won't see the wrong person, unless... you don't want to."
Wei Jingxuan lowered her head and wrung her fingers, not knowing how to answer. In fact, she was willing in her heart. As a woman, she will always marry in the future. Instead of marrying a commoner, she would rather marry the most powerful man in the world. Not only would she not have to worry about
She could still live a prosperous and prosperous life by worrying about daily necessities, but in this case, she was too shy to speak out.
Su is such a shrewd person. Although Wei Jingxuan didn't speak, she had guessed her thoughts and said with a smile: "In short, from now on, just listen to your sister and take the best path for you, okay?"
After Wei Jingxuan nodded, she continued: "Tell me about your stay in Kunning Palace. Also, did the Queen ask you about A Luo?"
Hearing this, Wei Jingxuan quickly recounted what had just happened, and said with admiration: "Sister Su, you are really amazing. You have never met the Queen, but you guessed what she would ask and taught me the answers in advance."
"This is just a way of guessing people's hearts. It's nothing powerful." After saying this, Su Shi added: "Aluo's matter is pretty much over. Next... remember, you must persuade the Queen to endure it.
If you want to deal with Concubine Xian, you must not break up with her, let alone target her openly. Everything is done in secret, and on the surface, you must make yourself in a weak position, so that you can get more sympathy from the emperor. As for the Queen Mother,
side……"
"What's wrong with the Queen Mother?" Faced with Wei Jingxuan's question, Su thought for a moment and said: "These things may not be hidden from the Queen Mother, but as long as there is no real evidence and the Emperor trusts the Queen, there should be no big problem. In short, you must
Always remind the queen not to act out of emotion, you know?" After a pause, she continued: "You solved A Luo's matter for the queen this time. In the future, she should trust you more, so you must firmly hold on to her trust.
"
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said, "I will do it. Sister Su, don't worry."
Su said solemnly: "Also, remember, you must not tell any third person about these things, not even Xia Qing. I think... her thoughts are a bit deep and unpredictable."
Wei Jingxuan said obediently: "Sister Su has said this before. I will definitely keep it secret. However, Sister Xia has always been very kind to me and will not have any thoughts. Sister Su, you are overthinking."
"You are such a simple little girl." Su Shi said: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart. You can't trust anyone except yourself, otherwise you won't even know you are being harmed. In short, you listen to me and don't be too cautious."
But trust Xia Qing."
Although Wei Jingxuan disagreed, she still agreed to her words.
Xia Qing didn't know they were talking about her, so she worked hard with another palace maid named Zijuan to deliver buckets of Yuquan water to the imperial dining room and various palaces and courtyards.
After coming out of Xianfu Palace, Zijuan wiped the sweat from her forehead, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Finally, the transportation is almost done, we can go back."
"And there's Yanxi Palace." Xia Qing said as she pushed the water cart towards Yanxi Palace. Zijuan followed and said, "I remember that you and Wei Jingxuan were very close. Now she has gone to Kunning Palace.
Waiting on the Queen, why don't you talk to her and let her ask for grace in front of the Queen, so that she can save herself from suffering in the treasury. Every time she delivers water, her waist is so tired that it feels like it is broken. As for other tasks
, each one is more tired than the other."
Xia Qing smiled and said: "Forget it, if the Queen is unhappy because of it, wouldn't it hurt Jingxuan? Besides, I am used to Xin Zheku's work. If I suddenly stop doing it, I will feel sick all over.
comfortable."
Zijuan shook her head and said, "You really think about her. You would rather suffer yourself than say this."
"I treat her as my younger sister. If I don't think about her, who else should I think about?" After a pause, Xia Qing said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just finish delivering the water and go back."
Zijuan responded and pushed them together to Yanxi Palace. When they were carrying water in, they happened to meet Xianyue. The two quickly knelt down and saluted. After Xianyue signaled them to get up, they went to carry the barrel again.
Perhaps it was because he was lifted too hastily that the Rhododendron suddenly
She felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the already heavy barrel became even more unbearable at this moment. She wanted to talk to Xia Qing, but it was too late. The barrel tipped over, and water spilled all over the floor.
The clothes of Xianyue that were about to leave were wet.
When Zijuan saw this scene, she was completely frightened. She was stunned and didn't know what to do. Xia Qing should be calmer, pulled her to kneel down, and said tremblingly: "This slave deserves to die, please forgive me."
After Zhichun wiped off the water stains on Xianyue's skirt, she scolded: "You two are really careless, you will also spill it, what should you do now?"
Xia Qing said in a trembling voice: "I will go to Xinzheku to bring another bucket of Yuquan mountain water."
Xianyue smiled slightly and said: "I heard that Aunt Song from Xinzheku is very strict. Aren't you afraid of being punished by her after you go back? Also, the daily portion of Yuquan Mountain Water is fixed, there is no need to have more.
No less, where can you get another barrel to compensate me?"
Xia Qing was speechless by her question. Yes, this is the last bucket of Yuquan Mountain Water.
, I’m afraid it would be useless even if she broke her head.
Thinking of this, Xia Qing said helplessly: "I know my mistake, and I am willing to be punished by my empress."
Xianyue stared at her and said: "I saw that the person next to you let go. The fault lies with her and not you. There is no need for you to plead guilty in such a hurry."
