Mu Jin did not answer Zhao Chengyuan's words, she just patted Zhao Chengyuan's shoulder with relief.
When the two hugged each other, Cui Xi, who had just recommended herself but was rejected, felt a little jealous when she saw them actually hugging each other.
Although it is impossible for her to be far away from Zhao Chengyuan, why can Mu Jin still be with Zhao Chengyuan.
When she thought of this, Cuixi felt a secret hatred in her heart.
But it is obvious that both Zhao Chengyuan and Concubine Qi have identified Mu Jin in their hearts. Therefore, even if I tell Concubine Qi about the incident between Mu Jin and Zhao Chengyuan again, I am afraid that Concubine Qi may not punish Mu Jin.
Moreover, she had clearly said before that she would help Zhao Chengyuan arrange several concubines in the palace, but she was rejected as soon as she recommended herself. Mujin was also a maid in the palace and was trusted by Concubine Qi. She was afraid that if she told Concubine Qi this, Qi Concubine The concubine still wants to fulfill the two of them.
When she thought of this, Cuixi felt very unwilling to accept it, but what could she do if she was unwilling to do so? Could she still get past Concubine Qi?
Besides, she just offended Concubine Qi today, and she didn't know if Concubine Qi planned to drive her out of the palace, so she felt a little uneasy.
When they returned to the inner room, the maids of the Winter Palace were discussing two major events. One was that His Highness Ninth Prince was being granted a title and that His Highness Ninth Prince was leaving the capital and heading to the Qiang Desert.
One thing is that as the royal highnesses are awarded the title, the maids who have reached the age of two in each palace will be returned home.
Because the second thing is related to their immediate and practical interests, this second thing is also discussed more.
Most people are happy about this matter. After all, they are now senior palace maids. Although they are a little older, they have stayed in the palace and learned the rules and skills that will be their advantage in caring for their husbands and raising children in the future.
Therefore, even if the two are still out of the palace, there are still many people who want to marry them.
They don't have to worry about getting married, and with the savings these few people have gathered in the palace, they can add another dowry.
Of course, some people are happy about this kind of thing, while others are worried about it. After all, each family's situation is different, so it is somewhat difficult to explain.
Cuixi just listened to their discussion and silently made her bed. Although she was not the most popular person on weekdays, she still had her own small group. Within their group, because they are old people like Concubine Qi, the number of second-tier maids in the Winter Palace is the largest. Even within her small group, there are two or three second-tier maids.
Others just sighed and sighed at the two or three people, and some even hugged a ball and cried into tears.
On the contrary, Cui Xi just looked on with a cold eye. At this time, someone asked, "Cui Xi, won't you come to say goodbye to them?"
Cuixi replied unceremoniously, "What's the point of saying goodbye? After all, in a few years, won't we meet again after we leave the palace?"
Upon hearing this, the entire atmosphere suddenly dimmed.
Others want to say a few more words about Cui Xi.
However, a few elders stopped the others and said, "What Cuixi said is right. In a few years, we can meet again outside the palace."
Hearing this, Cuixi didn't say a word.
She made the bed and lay down on the kang and fell asleep.
But before she fell asleep, she seemed to vaguely hear other people discussing that she was not on the list.
After all, there are too many maids in Winter Palace II.
However, some people advised not to think so much. Anyway, when the list is released tomorrow, they will know whether their name is among them.
After hearing their discussion, Cui Xi also felt that maybe Concubine Qi would not send her away because after all, she did not meet the age limit for sending her away.
Although she was lucky, she was not completely relieved. In order to make sure that she was not one of them, she got up early the next morning.
The sky was bright and I had half a day's leisure.
When Cuixi arrived outside the main hall, there was already a huge crowd under the sign. Everyone was crowded together, just looking for their name.
Those who have found their names or those who have not found their names are just crying or laughing.
Suddenly there was a lot of noise under the sign.
Cui Xi spent a lot of effort to get under the notice board. Under it, there were all tiny words.
She was reading while reading, but she could not find her own name among the many names, and soon she breathed a sigh of relief.
She just said, how could she be sent away? If she wanted to leave, it should be Hibiscus.
But even though she could stay here, she still felt a little unwilling in her heart.
For example, if Zhao Chengyuan wanted to be with Mu Jin, she would never agree to it. If she couldn't get someone, why should she give it to others cheaply?
Once she had such an idea, it took root in her heart like a maggot attached to her bones.
Thinking like this while walking, she soon came to the door of a dilapidated palace.
When she stood at the door of the palace, she pushed the door open by accident. @
By the time she realized it, she had already stepped into the palace. At the same time, the door seemed to be able to sense itself. It closed on its own after he entered the inner room.
In this abandoned palace, vines and weeds grew, but the inner palace was in a state of desolation and decay.
Moreover, there is only a kind of huge white flower buds growing everywhere in the palace. Those flowers bloom like double peonies, but they grow on vines, and there is only a faint smell in the whole palace. Sweet aroma.
Cuixi didn't know where this place was, but she still felt that it was very eerie and scary.
Then she slapped the palace door crazily, but no one at the palace door paid any attention to her.
Instead, someone seemed to tap her shoulder lightly from behind.
She turned around in shock and looked over, and saw Zhao Chengyuan smiling at her with a friendly smile, "What are you looking at?"
When she saw that the person was Zhao Chengyuan, she breathed a sigh of relief. She stopped knocking on the door and asked shyly and silently, "Why is Your Highness here?"
Zhao Chengyuan looked around and said, "I don't know either."
Then his eyes fixed on Cui Xi's face.
"But luckily you're here."
Cuixi said shyly, "What did His Highness say?"
"I'm telling the truth, Cui Xi. I heard what my mother said. Do you want to be my concubine?" Zhao Chengyuan suddenly pinched Cui Xi's chin and asked.
"No." Cuixi continued shyly.
"If you don't want to be my concubine, then whose concubine do you want to be?" After the words fell, Zhao Chengyuan just pulled Cui Xi into his arms.
The two looked at each other in silence.
But just when Cui Xi was about to offer her red lips, she saw that Zhao Chengyuan, who had been treating her tenderly just now, suddenly turned into a green-faced and fanged monster.
Cuixi was so frightened that she screamed immediately.
At the same time, she just slapped the monster crazily!
She screamed loudly for help.
But when she was calling for help, she heard someone suddenly ask coldly, "What is your name? What the hell."
That voice seemed to break some confusion.
Before Cui Xi could react, she saw a palace maid who looked like an aunt covering her mouth with a handkerchief and looking at her with disgust.
But there were no green-faced, fanged monsters or gentle and handsome Masako in front of him.
What is shown here is her embarrassing appearance while hugging and kissing a pillar covered with spider silk.
Seeing her current situation clearly, Cuixi quickly let go of the vermilion pillar in embarrassment, but even so, her clothes were stained with a lot of dust.
She really didn't understand what was happening to her.
But the palace maid said to her, "First cover your mouth and nose with your hands and come out with me."
Hear what the other person is saying. Cuixi naturally cooperated and obeyed. After not smelling the fragrance of the flowers, she only felt that her mind seemed to be clearer.
After coming out of the palace, her mind became clearer.
"Don't come here randomly in the future. This is the place where the Ninth Prince's biological mother once lived. This Ninth Prince's biological mother was once a witch from the Qiang Desert. She did many bad things. I'm afraid the things in this house are from the Qiang Desert. The things I brought here are very hallucinogenic."
However, in the face of such persuasion, Cuixi's mind became more active, but she did not dare to let the other party know her thoughts.
She just whispered "I know."
After the palace maid educated Cui Xi, she left.
However, after the palace maid left, Cui Xi's eyes fell on the palace again.
After the palace maid left, she only sneaked into the deserted palace again.
In the wasteland, she only gently picked up a flower bud, and then took a heavy sniff. Instantly, her mind became confused and chaotic again. The hallucination arrives as promised.
By the time she came out of the hallucination, it was already getting late.
It seems that this is what makes people hallucinate.
Although she only had half a day to spare today and would definitely be reprimanded if she went back at this time, she was not uneasy because she was about to be reprimanded.
Her face was full of joy. This time, in order not to be hit by the hallucination, she covered her mouth and nose with an embroidered handkerchief, and then picked a few flowers and hid them in her clothes.
When she returned to her resting place in the Winter Palace, there was no one in the room.
There was no one in the yard.
She thought for a while and sneaked into the room where the eldest palace maid rested. Then she placed only the flower under Hibiscus's pillow, and then put the remaining flowers into her wardrobe.
The day after tomorrow is the farewell banquet for His Highness Ninth Prince.
As the current person in charge of Phoenix Seal, Concubine Qi will naturally attend the farewell banquet the day after tomorrow.
And Mu Jin is the eldest maid next to Concubine Qi, so she will naturally attend the banquet.
When the time comes in the palace, if she loses her etiquette because of this matter, it will be Concubine Qi's face that is lost. When His Highness finds out about this, he will definitely not save any face for her.
Thinking of this level, Cuixi couldn't help but smile proudly.
After doing this, she quietly walked out of the inner room where the eldest maid rested.
She didn't believe that Hibiscus could escape safely this time.
