Chu Qiao slept in a daze until midnight when she was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. When she opened her eyes, she found that the door to the outer room had been pushed open and a woman walked in with her skirt in hand.
"Who? Is it Lan Hui?"
Chu Qiao rubbed her eyes and looked carefully. The moonlight was very faint and unclear, and she could not clearly see the appearance of the person coming in. She seemed to be carrying a luggage.
Calculating the time, Lan Hui has been away for a long time and should be back.
Chu Qiao leaned forward. The man had his back to the door, as if he was looking for something. After a while, there was a chirp, the fire broke out, and the candle at the door was lit.
"It's finally warm." She hugged her shoulders and looked over.
This is a completely unfamiliar face...
Chu Qiao was surprised. It was not Lan Hui who came in, but a plainly dressed palace maid. She had a small nose, small eyes, small mouth, and a doll-like face. Her cheeks were flushed with the cold. She looked like
Chu Qiao is similar in age and looks very kind.
"I'm sorry to disturb your rest. My name is Lianyun. We met in the examination room today. You don't remember me?" The woman named Lianyun introduced herself. Although her eyes were widened, they were still so small.
, but looks very divine.
Have you seen it in the examination room?
Chu Qiao really couldn't remember. There were so many people in the examination room. She only focused on answering the questions. She didn't notice who was participating in the competition and when there was such a woman.
"What are you..."
Chu Qiao looked at her luggage. She didn't go to rest in the middle of the night. What was she doing here? The door was reserved for Lan Hui, but it was not for people to break in casually.
"Haha, I was supposed to have a place to rest, but I walked around out of curiosity, and when I came back, the room was completely empty. Isn't this... My father-in-law said that he wanted me to live here, and he said it was a man named Lan.
Hui's maid is not coming back."
After saying that, she walked in directly, looking at the room with her eyes, looking envious and happy.
"Lan Hui isn't coming back?"
Chu Qiao repeated in shock.
"Yeah, I said I went to the Jingzhao Mausoleum and won't come back. It looks really nice here." Lianyun was very simple, blinking his little eyes. He looked like he had just entered the palace, and his eyes were too busy.
, such a simple room made her so happy, and I also knew that she came from a not-so-rich family.
"It's great...everything here is great, it's really great."
She carried her luggage and walked into the inner room. She stayed in the inner room for a while, then quickly left and stood beside Chu Qiao's bed.
"Chunxiang, Sister Chunxiang, the inner room is so big, you can live in the inner room, I will live outside." She said something strange like her own.
"You want me to stay in the back room?"
Chu Qiao pointed at her nose. When Lan Hui was there, she deliberately let her sleep outside in order to embarrass Chu Qiao. However, this woman named Lian Yun wanted to sleep outside on her own initiative. Their two characters were really geniuses.
What a difference.
Lianyun chuckled, stared at Chu Qiao's face for a while and said.
"You're such a tender-skinned person. It looks like you haven't suffered any crime at first glance. You can sleep inside. I've been used to it since I was a child. It's better here."
After saying that, she unceremoniously threw her luggage directly on Chu Qiao's bed, almost hitting Chu Qiao's body.
Before Chu Qiao could speak, she immediately covered her mouth and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, Sister Chunxiang, I didn't mean it, don't be angry."
Her cautious appearance made Chu Qiao feel embarrassed. She said awkwardly: "My leg is broken and it's inconvenient to move. I'd better sleep outside. You can sleep inside. I don't care about this."
Chu Qiao really didn't want to care about this little thing. It was the same inside and outside. If Lan Hui hadn't been so arrogant at the beginning, she wouldn't have been able to criticize that woman.
Chu Qiao thought that because she said this, Lian Yun would definitely go and live there, but who knew that not only did she not leave, but she even pulled Chu Qiao up.
"If you say that, I'm even more embarrassed. I'll help you up and go inside to sleep!"
After saying that, she pulled Chu Qiao and refused to let go. She was still very strong. Before Chu Qiao could support him, she was pulled off the bed by her, and the book was also exposed from the bottom of the mattress.
"Huh? What is this?" Lianyun grabbed it.
But Chu Qiao was much faster than her. Before her hand could grab the book, the book had already fallen into Chu Qiao's hand.
"Xianshu." Chu Qiao avoided Liao Yun's curious gaze and kicked the book into her arms.
"Sister Chunxiang is so awesome. After passing three levels in a row, how could it be possible that she was reading a leisure book and not a book about cooking?" Lianyun laughed, looking like a sincere and silly little village girl.
"What's so great about me?"
Chu Qiao turned around and walked arduously inside. Since she liked sleeping outside so much, let her sleep well. Maybe she would be eliminated in the fourth round tomorrow.
"Hey, Sister Chunxiang, I'll help you."
She rushed forward recklessly. If Chu Qiao hadn't avoided it in time, she would have been knocked down. How could this girl be so reckless?
Chu Qiao repeatedly said no, and hurriedly went inside and lay down on the bed. Liao Yun then left with a chuckle.
Lying down where Lan Hui had been lying, Chu Qiao felt a little uncomfortable. She stared intently at the row of dark red lace on the curtain in front of the bed, and thought about what Liao Yun said when she came in. Lan Hui unexpectedly
He was sent to guard the mausoleum in Jingzhao, which is far away from the capital. If he went there to guard the mausoleum, he would not be able to come back for a year and a half. Some palace maids even stayed there for the rest of their lives and died alone.
Why was Lan Hui suddenly sent to Jingzhao? It was undoubtedly because of Lan Hui's failure in the imperial dining examination, so Empress Hui made such an arrangement.
This was a very insidious punishment, and Concubine Jin Hui ruined Lan Hui's life in disguise.
Although we still don’t know the purpose of Empress Hui Fei’s arrangement of Lan Hui in the imperial dining room, but if Lan Hui leaves like this, doesn’t Empress Hui Concubine’s efforts to fetch water from the bamboo basket be empty? Has she really given up?
Just when Chu Qiao was thinking hard, the woman named Lian Yun actually came in, hugged Chu Qiao's quilt, and after walking a few steps, she stepped on her skirt and rushed forward, crushing both Chu Qiao and the quilt.
On Chu Qiao's body.
This time, it actually pressed on her injured leg. It took a lot of effort for Chu Qiao to pull Lianyun out. He looked at her with wide eyes. Is she really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Chu Qiao just said
Her leg was injured, how could this woman be so careless?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sister Chunxiang."
Li Yun grabbed his hair and stood aside as if he had done something wrong. He looked like Chu Qiao's servant girl, humble and cowardly, which made Chu Qiao's anger that was about to burst out suppressed again.
"It's okay. You didn't mean it. Go to sleep. It will be dawn in a while." Chu Qiao urged her and told Lianyun to go out quickly to avoid doing something unexpected again.
"Hey, Sister Chunxiang is so kind, she is not angry with me anymore."
She smiled at Chu Qiao, which caused goosebumps all over Chu Qiao's body. He really couldn't be angry anymore, so he had to smile at her. Lian Yun then turned around and went out. The candle went out, and soon she heard from outside.
Loud snoring.
Chu Qiao sighed and covered her ears. She had never seen someone fall asleep as soon as she hit the pillow and snore so loudly. She looked like a silly girl and couldn't argue with her.
