Chapter 4 The Huge Vegetable Urn

Shangqingzhu settled home on Hua Zhuoer's neck.

In the second half of the night, she held my arm and pressed her forehead tightly against my arm. She breathed lightly and felt a little warm, so that I never pulled my arm back.

We were woken up before dawn the next day.

What woke us up was the hunched old eunuch who led us into the palace yesterday, and his ruler hit the bed and made a crackling sound.

Hua Zhuoer reacted quickly and pulled me up. The ruler did not fall on me. She whispered to me: "Let's be careful, be smarter, remind each other and get less beaten!"

He nodded to her gently.

The old eunuch was from Shangyifang, one of the six Shangs. Others respected him and said, "Grandpa Wen" and was in charge of the new ceremonials entering the palace to train.

After eating simple food, I changed into the lowest-level palace maid clothes in the palace, and Eunuch Wen took us to the front yard.

There were many palace maids standing in the yard and talking in a low voice.

Eunuch Wen went forward to the woman in front of him and even said politely: "Aunt Siyan (yan), I brought him here. They are all new girls who came in yesterday. The biggest one is the twelve. They are good training and will be smart in the future!"

The Siyan is in charge of laying and cleaning the female official rank in the ninth rank palace.

Aunt Si Yan was a beautiful woman in her twenties. She said politely: "It's my father-in-law, and the Empress was worried about the day the eldest prince got married. The staff in the palace are getting worse and less than enough!"

Eunuch Wen smiled and said, "The eldest prince is the legitimate son of the Empress, and marrying a concubine is a big deal. The Empress is also happy to worry about everything. Time is tight, and seeing that it is about to dawn, hurry up and keep going, don't miss the eldest prince's marriage, the Empress blames the Queen!"

Aunt Si Yan smiled at him, and in a blink of an eye, she looked cold and cold when facing the palace maids in the upper yard: "Take your things and serve them carefully, which will make the empresses in each palace unhappy. Lord Shangyi will not plead for you. A broken mat is your final destination!"

Everyone responded cautiously: "Abide by the order of Aunt Siyan!!"

Aunt Si Yan waved her hand: "Go quickly and do everything you should do before the palace ladies have gotten up!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded and came out one after another.

There were only ten new little girls left in the courtyard. Aunt Siyan wiped her hands with a veil, slowly moved her way, and looked at us and said, "You newly entered the palace maids, have a little quicker hand and foot, and have wiped all the places where the masters of the cold palace can see. Whoever you do well, I will naturally promote you!"

Aunt Si Yan changed her mind and her voice was dull and cold: "Of course, if you are cheating and slipping, your hands and feet are not smooth, I will naturally have a way to punish you?"

Wei Nuonuo's voices came one after another, and he continued with trembling words: "I understand!"

Aunt Siyan signaled us to pick up the rag and bucket in the corner of the yard, turned around and said, "Follow me and keep up!"

The journey was silent and silent. The eldest prince married a concubine. The palace was not equipped with enough people. Aunt Siyan divided ten of us into ten courtyards.

I carried the bucket and came to the yard where Aunt Siyan ordered me to clean.

I rolled up my sleeves and just touched the door panel. With a creaking sound, the door was opened from the inside, and I was startled.

The eunuchs, one short and one tall, laughed at each other, and were stunned when they saw me.

Then the taller eunuch raised his head and pushed it on my shoulder with one hand.

I was pushed to the ground and poured the bucket next to me. The water poured down from the steps and soaked the entire step.

"Where did the little palace maid come from? Is this place you should come from?"

Get up from the ground and kneel in front of the two young eunuchs: "Teacher-in-law, I am sent by Aunt Siyan. I have done the work of cleaning up the house and hitting my father-in-law. Please forgive me!"

The taller eunuch said with a sharp voice: "It turns out that Aunt Siyan asked you to come, so clean it up quickly. If you are lazy, we will definitely report Aunt Siyan, so that you can't afford to eat!"

"Yes! Yes! I will clean it now!" I was so nervous that I got up and carried the bucket, ran to the well, picked up a bucket of water from the well, and poured it into my bucket without even looking at it, and walked into the house.

The shorter eunuch laughed loudly, "Do you think this little palace maid will be scared to death later?"

The taller eunuch smiled and said, "If you are scared to death, you will be scared to death. Are there few people in the palace? Aunt Siyan asked her to clean it up, so we must give face!"

"Yes!" The shorter eunuch said repeatedly: "Aunt Siyan doesn't give her face, so Lord Shangying has to give her face!"

The taller eunuch urged: "It's good to know, then leave quickly. This place is really unlucky!"

The two eunuchs' voices gradually drifted away, and I walked into the room step by step. The room was dim, with a strong smell of rust and feces and urine.

I endured the smell and wiped the outer hall, walked towards the inner room, and the inner room door was closed.

I tried to push it a few times before pushing the door open. The inner room was a little dimmer than the outer hall, and the smell of feces and urine was even stronger than that outside.

I went in and started cleaning, and kept cleaning until the corner of the wall. Suddenly, a huge jar appeared in front of me.

The jar looks like an ordinary family. It makes a jar for storing vegetables, with a thin head and a big body.

The jar is also covered with a huge filling lid, and the smell of rust and feces and urine are the most odor.

I was so scared that I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, and tremblingly reached out to touch the lid of the can. Before I could pick it up, a tiny moan came from it.

People's sobs and moans?

With a hiss.

I turned around and looked at the window where the sound came from.

A pair of dark eyes appeared in the gap in the window.

My heartbeat suddenly became flustered and confronted my dark eyes!

"Squeak!" A sound came from the jar in the corner of the wall.

I was so shocked that I quickly looked at the sound. The jar in the corner of the wall was still the same. I suddenly turned around and looked at the gap in the window.

The pair of painted black eyes just now disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the slight moaning sound disappeared.

After calming down my mind, I wiped the rag in my hand on the jar and wondered slightly, how could a vegetable urn be hidden so deeply in the important part of the palace?

There was another sudden squeak, like a newborn mouse, squeaking fear in his hand.

My hands trembled and placed them on the lid of the urn. The sound came from the jar here. With the fear in my heart, I gently lifted my hand and didn't see clearly what was inside.

A cold voice came from behind me without any emotion.

"It's so noisy!"

He shivered, knelt down with a pounce, leaned over and didn't dare to look up: "I don't know anything, please forgive me for your crime!"

My begging for mercy didn't get any echo, and I saw a pair of feet walking past me.
