In the evening, Ji Ling sat in the Nuan Pavilion and wrote. Yinzhen asked people to move a bunch of copybooks here, but she preferred to copy directly according to "Yue Xin Ji".
But tonight, she was obviously absent-minded. She couldn't write a few words and then stopped writing for a while.
I didn't even know that a big drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen and soaked on the paper.
Qixi moved a small stool and sat next to it, accompanying her while carrying a sewing basket and doing embroidery work, and looking up at her from time to time.
Thinking that Bixue might be leaving the palace someday, although they were both in the capital, the palace walls were high, and they would be separated for a lifetime, Qixi couldn't help but sigh softly.
As the night progressed, Ji Ling finally put down his pen and stopped writing. Qixi went over to clean it up, and saw that the first half of the paper was still full of crooked characters, while the second half was filled with paintings of flowers, puppies, and little people.
.
The villain is wearing a flag uniform and holding a letter in his hand. It seems to be a little palace maid.
Qixi stared at it for a while and recognized it was Bixue.
After all, she has been a master and servant for nearly ten years, and she must be very reluctant to part with her master.
Qixi smiled bitterly, pretended not to look carefully, put the drawing paper away, and then went to the door to tell Evian to get hot water for a bath.
Not long after, several large buckets of hot water were brought in. Qixi washed Ji Ling, put on clean clothes, and helped her lie down. Qixi skillfully put down the bed curtain, and then gently
I sat down on the small couch in the outer room with my clothes on.
In the Forbidden City, those who can stay in the palace to watch over the master all night are the maids that the master likes the most, is closest to, and trusts the most.
For the slaves: this is work and glory.
In the spring courtyard of Tiandi Family, the faint moonlight slanted down like mercury, covering up the gorgeous carved beams and painted eaves during the day, adding a bit of tranquility.
Xiao Fenzi walked back and forth in the yard with her hands behind her back.
The thing is actually very simple - Bixue is leaving the palace.
But to him, it was a big deal.
Xiao Fenzi suddenly stood still anxiously, looking down at her toes.
There seemed to be a little person in his heart, constantly probing his head, beating his heart over and over again, screaming: "Go to her! Go to her!"
The door to the palace maid's room suddenly opened with a creak, and Xiao Fenzi subconsciously took a step forward.
Under the moonlight, he could see clearly that Evian held a small copper basin on his waist, yawned, and walked towards the water tank in the corner of the courtyard.
Xiao Fenzi's heart moved, and she subconsciously took a step forward, saying: "Evian!"
Evian had been dozing off, but Xiao Fenzi suddenly jumped out. She was startled. She waited until she could see the face of the visitor clearly, then she patted her heart and said, "Eunuch Fen."
Xiao Fenzi asked: "Has Bixue fallen asleep?"
As soon as Bixue was mentioned, Evian's eyebrows drooped, she pointed towards the room and whispered: "How can it be! In the past two days...at night, Sister Bixue has been crying."
After hearing this, Xiao Fenzi felt even more uncomfortable. She was silent for a moment and then said a little nervously: "Sister Bixue is about to leave. I have a few words to say goodbye to her."
Yiyun had no doubts. When he saw the copper basin filled with water, he turned around and nodded: "I'll call Sister Bixue on behalf of Eunuch Fen."
Xiao Fenzi watched Eyun enter the palace maid's duty room. After a while, the lights in the duty room dimmed and a familiar figure slowly walked out.
Xiao Fenzi clenched her fist, clenched it and released it, stepped forward and shouted in a low voice: "Bixue!"
Bixue didn't look up and walked straight forward until she reached a hidden place in the corridor next to the dining room before stopping.
She didn't speak, she just lowered her head, with a sad look on her face, and her eyebrows curved downwards in a sad arc. She was a rare softness, and she no longer had the usual coldness towards Xiao Fenzi.
Xiao Fenzi has never seen such blue snow.
His throat moved, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say. He reached out and fumbled around in his arms, took out something and handed it to Bixue.
Bixue glanced at it, but did not take it immediately. She just asked numbly: "What is this?"
Xiao Fenzi whispered: "Open it."
Bixue took it, opened it awkwardly, took a look, her expression changed, and she pushed it to Xiao Fenzi and said, "I don't need it!"
It's a banknote, and it's a banknote of considerable denomination.
At least, for a palace maid, it's quite impressive.
Xiao Fenzi suddenly grabbed Bixue's wrist, put the thing into her hand, and said quickly in a low voice: "You keep it, just give it to your mother, and the rest can be used by you to buy a shop or land yourself."
you."
Bixue turned her head and didn't look at Xiao Fenzi. She just pushed his arm out and said hoarsely: "Fenzi, I appreciate your kindness. The master has taken care of my mother's affairs thoroughly, and he also paid tribute to my aunt.
My family gave me a lot of gifts, but I really don’t need them! I know that with your current position, although there are many people who are fawning over you, but for this amount...you have also saved a lot of time, right? Plus we are now relying on
Beside the Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall, where are the ghosts and ghosts that go up during festivals and festivals, where should we not maintain contact?"
She finally turned her head back, looked deeply at Xiao Fenzi, and said: "I have hands and feet, I can support myself, you keep these savings - you are different from me, you have to serve the master for many years,
When you get old in the future, you have to make some plans for yourself."
Xiao Fenzi shook her head, and suddenly showed a bitter smile, saying: "You are gone, what else do I have planned!"
After hearing this, Bixue's whole body trembled.
The two people were so close that they could almost hear each other's breathing. Xiao Fenzi felt her heart pounding in her chest, almost jumping out of her chest. There seemed to be a little person beating drums in her ears.
The voice just now came out again - the villain seemed to be screaming in his ear: "Keep her! Keep her!"
He was almost about to speak when there was a sudden rustling sound beside the firewood behind the corridor, and a dark figure came out.
Neither Bixue nor Xiaofenzi expected that there was someone next to them. They were both startled and subconsciously took a step back.
The person coming is Xiao Dazi.
After seeing his face clearly, Bixue breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought about her words, "Now that you're gone, what else do I have planned?", Xiao Dazi must have heard it clearly.
Her face turned red.
Xiao Dazi, half covered in flour and half covered in firewood ash, reached out to dust his sleeves and said, "I was here picking firewood for tomorrow morning."
He paused, glanced at Xiao Fenzi, shook his head slightly, and said: "Fenzi, it's this time, why don't you tell me clearly?"
Xiao Fenzi finally raised her eyes and looked deeply at Bixue.
Bixue's face turned red.
Xiao Dazi took a step forward and said without hesitation: "Bixue, after all these years, do you really not understand Xiao Fenzi's thoughts about you? In the past, when the master was still a nobleman, he was always teasing me.
Is there anything you said that he didn't remember in his heart when he wanted you to be happy?
Later, Little Yoko came and you ignored him for a while. Do you know how sad he was secretly? How many times did I persuade him?
As for him striving to become the chief eunuch..."
Xiao Dazi raised his eyes and glanced at Bixue, nodded and said every word: "There are many things in there for your sake!"
