Chapter 36 Who is the noble person in Qingyunfang?
He Guiren has only been in the palace for more than three years. Her background is not high, her father is only a fifth-rank official, and she has not given birth yet.
In this way, he can be named a nobleman, which shows that he is quite favored.
Xue Hengzhao followed the palace maid named Lu Zao, lowering his head and frowning, not looking back or squinting, looking very well-behaved.
Under the corridor of the side hall stood two palace maids, one thin and the other fat, crossing their feet to watch the two young eunuchs pruning the flowers and trees there.
Lv Zao then led Xue Hengzhao over there and said, "This place is no better than the back. You have to walk and talk more lightly. Don't even walk around. It's a big sin to bump into a noble person."
Then he pointed at the thin palace maid and said, "This is Qiuli."
Pointing at the fat palace maid, she said: "This is citron."
Xue Hengzhao greeted the two of them, and by looking at their clothes, he knew that one was a second-class maid and the other was a third-class maid.
The two men looked at Xue Hengzhao and said to Lu Zao with a smile: "Sister, where did you get this sick beauty? Why have you never seen her before?"
"It's from the needlework bureau. Didn't our master say that the purse for the Lantern Festival is good? He told us to learn from it. They sent her over there, and Liu Quan just sent it over." Lu Zao'er said about Liu.
Quan couldn't help but smile, which shows that the two have a close relationship.
"So you are asking her to live here?" Citron asked, "Which house should she be placed in?"
"Let's share a room with the two of you for now! She can't live here for more than a few days." Lu Zao said, "I can't afford to open a separate room for her."
"That's right. We can fit in just by squeezing around." The palace maid named Qiuli seemed to have a very easy-going temperament. "We are both thin, so we can fit in the same bed."
"Sisters Litchi and Chuntao are waiting inside. The empress doesn't like to be surrounded by many people, so let's not go in yet." Lv Zao added, "Don't look at the sunny day today, the wind under the eaves is still cold, so don't go in."
Stand for a long time."
So a few people went to a room, picked up needles and thread, and asked Xue Heng to teach them how to make purses.
Luzao said: "You can make two more new tricks! The ones before are about the same."
"Sister, please tell me something clearly," Xue Hengzhao asked, "Should this purse be given as a gift or should you keep it for yourself? I would like to have a basis for what occasion or what kind of clothes it should be worn with."
"Of course I brought it with me, and I didn't do it for any special occasion. But you have to be very careful, otherwise why would I go to all the trouble to call you here?" Lu Zao said.
Xue Hengzhao then chose from the existing materials and colored threads, and finally made a pouch with folded apricot branches using a pile of yarn technique.
Since there is almost no need for embroidery, it can be finished in just over half an hour.
"This pile of yarn method has always been used to make palace flowers. Who would have thought that it can also be used for purses." Qiuli took the purse made by Xue Hengzhao and was full of surprise, "What a novelty."
"This purse looks really good, and the apricot flower has a good meaning." Citron looked at Qiuli's hand again and again.
"If there is nothing surprising about this method, we can do it. The key is that not everyone can imagine this idea." Lv Zao, who had returned, couldn't help but praise, "It seems that Liu Quan has
You really took it seriously in recommending me here."
It was almost noon, and these people were all busy waiting for He Guiren to have lunch.
Xue Hengzhao stayed in the room, and when everything was finished, Qiuli brought her food and said with a smile: "You must be hungry! Eat your food quickly."
Xue Hengzhao thanked her and chatted with her a few words about home affairs.
I know that she is from Suizhou and has been in the palace for five years.
I also know that the people serving in front of He Guiren brought lychees and peaches from outside.
They are also the most powerful, others have to stay behind.
In addition to these two, Lv Zao is also appreciated because of his ability and strength.
"Lv Zao and Liu Quan are fellow villagers, we are god-brothers," Qiuli said with a smile, "I think you are smart and skillful, and are highly appreciated by Eunuch Liu. You will have a good life in the future."<
/p>
"I just want to be safe in this palace," Xue Hengzhao said with a slightly sad tone, "Sister also knows what my background is, how can I really survive!"
"Don't say such depressing words," Qiuli comforted her, "We are still young, and we always have to have some hope in our hearts to live this life!"
Then he urged Xue Hengzhao: "You should eat your food quickly, otherwise it will get cold.
Luzao has already presented the purse you made, and the nobleman likes it very much.
I might as well see you when I wake up from my nap, so you should pack up in advance and don’t get in a hurry before the battle."
He Guiren is young, so he naturally pays special attention to clothes and jewelry.
Xue Hengzhao calculated in his mind that in a few days it will be three years since the death of the Queen Mother.
In the past three years, the concubines in the palace have all worn plain clothes without too many decorations.
Now that the mourning period is over, it’s inevitable to dress up.
"Thank you, sister, for reminding me. I am such a warm-hearted person." Xue Hengzhao thanked Qiuli.
Qiuli shook her head and said with a smile: "What's there to thank you for? If you want to thank me, you should also thank Lvzao.
If she hadn't told the noble lady that this year's purse was very unique, she should make more for daily use.
No noble person would have thought of this, let alone called you here."
Xue Hengzhao listened to what she said without showing any concern on his face, but his suspicions in his heart were getting heavier.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Citron came over and asked Xue Hengzhao to meet He Guiren.
"The noble lady said that you did a good job in making purses. You have some clothes that you like very much. I want you to make a few more purses based on those." Citron's skin is plump and her cherry lipstick is bright.
Xue Hengzhao agreed and stood up. Citron's eyes couldn't help but stare at her slender waist.
Xue Hengzhao's water snake waist is so graceful and graceful that Citron can't help but feel a surge of sour water in his heart.
Thinking about what Lu Zao said to her, she felt even more unhappy.
He Guiren just woke up from his nap, tied himself up in a lazy bun, and leaned on the soft couch.
Lu Zao knelt on the footrest and rubbed her hands. He Guiren's hands hurt from copying scriptures to the Queen Mother, especially after she woke up.
Xue Hengzhao knelt down and bowed according to the ceremony, but did not dare to come near.
He Guiren looked at her and said, "I saw the purse you made, it's very good.
Come here and kneel down, why are you hiding so far away? I don’t eat people."
Xue Hengzhao followed the instructions and walked a few more steps on his knees.
"Raise your head and let me take a look." He Guiren couldn't see Xue Hengzhao's face clearly, but he noticed something different from her body.
Xue Hengzhao raised his head halfway, still not looking at He Guiren.
This is the rule.
"What's your name? How long have you been in the palace?" When He Guiren saw her appearance, he couldn't help but ask her where she came from, "I see that you are very different from ordinary palace ladies."
"My servant Xue Hengzhao, who entered the palace on the winter solstice last year, is a sin slave." Xue Hengzhao reported truthfully.
"It's a strange way!" He Guiren was stunned after hearing this, "Is it the Xue family of the former Shunning Marquis?"
"Yes." Xue Hengzhao lowered his eyes, keenly aware that another drama was slowly opening.
