That night, when he fell asleep, Xiao Dazi looked at Xiao Fenzi who had just walked in, and wondered whether he should tell him about this matter.
Originally, as the chief eunuch of the first palace, Xiao Fenzi had the privilege of living in a private room. But since the birth of the little brother, the eating time in Chengqian Palace has become much more irregular than before, and the dining room has been closed from time to time.
Both large and small stoves need to be turned on.
In order to make it easier for their master to be at his call as soon as possible, Xiao Fenzi and Xiao Dazi lived in the same wing.
This is the northernmost room, the closest to the master's main hall.
Xiao Dazi thought for a while, but Xiao Fenzi looked at him with an uncertain expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
So Xiao Dazi told the story in detail, and at the end he sighed and added: "Bixue is not that kind of person, but she treated Yiquan like this, I'm afraid it's not just once, but this time.
I met him, but if I didn’t see it overtly or covertly, I don’t know if it was there or not.”
While Xiao Dazi lifted up the quilt and lay down, he turned to Xiao Fenzi opposite and said: "That plate of pastries, that little girl ate all of it in a short time. She is very hungry! It's not like we have never eaten like this before.
It's a bitter experience - if you have time, you still have to talk to Sister Qixi and straighten out the whole story, so as not to cause any trouble later and expose it to the master, which will not be good for Bixue and Yiquan."
Xiao Fenzi was silent for a moment, did not speak, and just nodded.
Xiao Dazi covered himself with a quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Xiao Fenzi did not fall asleep, however, and everything flashed through her mind: Bixue was always playing with her when her master was always around.
Later, when Little Yoko came, Bixue suddenly became indifferent to her, and she just looked for Little Yoko all day long...
In the Old Summer Palace, when the third princess fell into the water, Bixue also asked Yiquan to hold two extremely heavy jars and almost dropped the jars in front of the master; when it rained, she asked Yiquan to wait in the rain...
Needless to say, there are all kinds of calls and calls on weekdays.
Xiao Fenzi thought silently
Early the next morning, Xiaofenzi went to find Qixi and told her the matter in a subtle way. Qixi understood immediately after hearing it. The two of them came out to the corner of the yard. Qixi said: "Even if you don't tell me, I won't."
I see it, and I just wanted to ask you. Now you and Bixue are getting closer and closer. The three of us, plus Xiao Dazi, were not like this when we were in the west courtyard of Jingyang Palace."
Qixi paused, looked at Xiao Fenzi, and said softly: "Fenzi, tell me the truth - do you and Bixue have any misunderstandings? We serve the master in the same palace, and we have both been in difficult times.
Those who came here, seeing how you were fine before and how you are now, I feel really at ease..."
Xiao Fenzi was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said simply: "No."
Qixi sighed and said, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the master's main hall, and said softly: "I don't know what misunderstanding caused you to go further and further away. But I can see more and more when I'm not close enough - the reason why Bixue is like this is because of Yiquan and
It’s because you’re so close.”
Xiao Fenzi raised her head.
Qixi turned around, stared at Xiao Fenzi unblinkingly, and said softly: "Fenzi, I also have a doubt. Yiquan is not the only second-class maid in Chengqian Palace, there are also handy eunuchs.
Quite a few, why do you protect Yiquan so much?"
When Xiao Fenzi was asked about it, her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but look up at Qixi.
Qixi sighed deeply and said: "We are slaves, and serving our master wholeheartedly is the right thing to do. Fenzi, you are young, but your master values you. In the old Summer Palace, the emperor would mention you to the ninth grade."
Have you forgotten about Zhou Qingyan's departure?"
Qixi lowered her eyelashes, as if she was afraid of Xiao Fenzi's rebuttal, and quickly added: "You are now the chief eunuch, but you still call me Sister Qixi, and I am so proud that I agreed - just because this is what we used to do."
mutual affection.
I don’t want to say these unpleasant things to you, but the rules in the palace are strict. Some things can be done, but some things can’t even be thought about. If you make a wrong move, it will be disaster! Fenzi, you have to be measured. "
Xiao Fenzi straightened her back and said nothing.
…
The next day was a rainy day. The rain finally stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. It was late in the evening, and the sky was pitch black, with no stars to be seen.
People tend to lose energy on rainy days, so Ji Ling went to bed early to rest.
As soon as she went to sleep, the slaves also relaxed, leaving Qilin bored in the puppy cage, spinning around and looking out eagerly.
Bixue was afraid that it would make a noise and disturb her master's rest, so she took it out directly and brought it to the yard.
Just then, Yiquan walked out of the dining room with a bucket of water.
For the first-class maids in the palace, the hot water for washing their hair and body was served by the second-class maids. Yiquan carried the bucket and walked halfway to see Bixue sitting next to the goldfish tank in the courtyard.
, holding the fish food jar in one hand, the unicorn was running happily around the goldfish tank.
It's just that the goldfish tank is too small, and it gets a little dizzy after spinning around for more than a dozen times.
Qilin stopped, stuck out his pink tongue, looked at Bixue, and then turned his head to look at Yiquan.
Bixue stared at Yiquan.
Yiquan has been a little scared by Bi Xue these days.
At this time, she raised her head and met Bixue's gaze. She immediately subconsciously shrank her shoulders and whispered: "Sister Bixue."
Bixue slowly stood up and walked over step by step.
Yiquan subconsciously took a step back.
She put down the bucket, pointed inside, and said softly: "This is the hot water for Sister Bixue," while saying this, she tried her best to put on a flattering smile on her face.
Bixue lowered her head and glanced at the bucket, suddenly grabbed a handful of fish food, raised her hand high, and sprinkled the fish food into the bucket in front of Yiquan.
"This bucket is dirty and cannot be used. Please go and get a new bucket." Bixue said calmly.
Yiquan raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and looked into the bucket. Tears had already come to her eyes, but she forced them back again.
She slowly bent down and reached out to lift the handle of the barrel. Her fingertips had already touched the handle. As soon as she lifted it up, Bixue folded her hands in front of her chest and said coldly: "Don't you understand what I said?
Put this bucket down and pick it up again!”
Yiquan gritted his teeth slightly, then suddenly loosened his grip and put the barrel on the ground.
She raised her head and looked at Bixue without showing any signs of weakness, her voice trembling with anger.
She said word by word: "Sister Bixue is the eldest palace maid. There must always be a reason for everything. How can you be looking for excuses to torment people like this day and night!"
Bixue said calmly: "Why do I have to torment you to get a bucket of hot water? Even though Evian is a first-class palace maid, she doesn't look as delicate as you!"
Yiquan pointed at the bucket, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands and said: "Today at noon, Sister Bixue ordered me to wash a lot of clothes. She washed them all in the yard and was not allowed to go in. My hands were so cold that they had many cuts.
I just finally brought the bucket of hot water back, but it was sprinkled with fish food again!
Do you really think that by embarrassing a little second-class palace maid like me, I dare not go to the master and tell you?"
