Clothes Bureau.
"Look at the one next to you. I heard that he serves noble people and doesn't have to worry about being punished to wash clothes."
Several palace maids gathered together to wash clothes and talked quietly.
"Keep your voices down, that person can't afford to offend."
Another palace maid who was dressed better than them gently patted several people's hands.
"Good sister, please tell me what's going on?"
The palace maid in green clothes looked at the leading palace man with her big watery eyes.
The palace man didn't know what to do. He rolled his eyes at the little girl in front of him and said, "According to the person in front, that person is the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Gu's family and the princess's companion. You little hooves, it's okay." Go mess with her."
"Why does the princess' companion come to our place to wash clothes?"
The palace maid in green clothes muttered softly.
The leading worker knocked on his forehead and said sternly: "This is not our business. Anyway, don't provoke that person."
"Okay, Auntie."
Several little palace maids spoke in unison and nodded cautiously at the leading palace man.
The leading bow arm turned towards Gu Shufei and watched Cui He, who was in charge of the affairs with him, go there without saying a word to remind him.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles.
This was the experience I gained from working in the palace for many years, but it was a pity for Gu Shufei.
While the maids were changing their clothes, they couldn't help but look over there. That person was so good-looking.
Gu Shufei looked at the basin of cold water in front of her and carefully put a finger to test the temperature, cursing in her heart.
I still underestimated it.
That Miao princess is really a typical example of knowing people but not their hearts. She looks so good-looking but has such a dark heart.
Although compared to being slapped on the board, washing clothes can be considered a very light punishment.
But after all, the water in winter is freezing cold.
Gu Shufei was preparing herself mentally and hesitated before reaching out to wash——
"Hey, I want to see who is so rich. I have been putting these clothes in front of you for a long time, and I don't even know how to move them."
Cui He, the steward of the Clothing Bureau, looked at Gu Shufei squatting in front of him with a smile.
Gu Shufei was unhappy, so when she was interrupted by this, she asked with a cold face: "Where are you from?"
Cuihe was surrounded by several maids, who looked at Gu Shufei with smiles and told Gu Shufei that Cuihe was the steward of the Clothing Bureau.
Gu Shufei thought for a moment and her tone became much softer: "Since it's Aunt Cuihe, she must have something to give you."
It is better to do less than to do more. Now he was transferred to the Clothing Bureau by the Saint to receive punishment. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and a good man will not suffer the immediate consequences.
Gu Shufei prepared herself mentally.
Who is Cui He? She has been crawling and wallowing in the palace for so many years, and her heart has long been twisted.
Seeing that a noble man was in trouble in front of him and couldn't even come back, it was hard to say, so as soon as he heard the news, he happily brought a few of his lackeys to show off his power in front of Gu Shufei.
"I don't dare to give orders. I heard that you are the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Gu's family and the eldest princess's companion. Who dares to give orders to a noble person."
Cui He saluted Gu Shufei and spoke softly.
Hearing this sinister tone, Gu Shufei's heart trembled and she wanted to take out the silver needle and pierce the man in front of her.
Gu Shufei was really a little angry now. Looking at Cui and the maids behind him, all holding clothes belonging to eunuchs and inferior maids, a clever idea came to his mind.
Then he said to Cui He: "Since Auntie knows that I have been punished by the Holy One, I ask Auntie not to disturb my peace, and let me clean all the clothes of the nobleman, and then I can do business."
How did Cuihe know that Gu Shufei was such a cunning person.
Seeing that it was unrealistic to irritate her, he handed another color to the little palace maids beside him. They all obediently put the wooden basins in their hands directly in front of Gu Shufei.
"In that case, the eldest girl of the Gu family wouldn't mind washing a few more basins of clothes."
Cui He's already slender eyes narrowed with a smile, making him look even more cunning.
Before Gu Shufei could say no to Cui He, he hurried away with a few more maids.
Sure enough, these people saw that she was about to lose power and wanted to bully her. It was really funny.
"Sister, she is so pitiful. Should we go and help her?"
Several palace maids who had been talking about her began to whisper again.
This time she didn't ignore them but smiled at them and shook her head.
"Oh, it's all because your voice was so loud and she heard it."
One of the maids knocked the other maid on the head and smiled shyly at Gu Shufei.
Gu Shufei had already made up her mind that it would be better not to involve other people in this matter.
It's just that a little steward dared to bully her.
Gu Shufei looked at the clothes in front of her and symbolically hit them with a stick a few times.
Not caring whether it was clean or not, he quickly reached out and fished out the clothes from the cold water basin, and then dried them directly. The water kept dripping on the clothes.
Then she went to her own place, where she rested temporarily in the Clothes Bureau.
After eating, she got up from the couch and ran to find Eunuch Wang, the chief eunuch of the Huanyi Bureau.
"Mr. Wang, my daughter has washed and dried all the clothes as required, but..."
Gu Shufei looked at the chief manager in front of him as if he had something to hide and was really embarrassed to speak.
"Girl, please stop being a slave. I don't dare to call myself a slave. If you have something to give me, just say it."
Eunuch Wang was not like those blind people like Cui He. He knew that this girl came to the laundry department just to go through the motions, and he did not dare to actually bring her any clothes to wash.
Under Eunuch Wang's repeated questioning, Gu Shufei slowly started to talk about the affairs of Cui He and others, and then added: "Eunuch Wang, please don't punish them. I think it was Aunt Cui He and the others who had something to do, so they took the clothes away." Throw it to me."
"It must not have been intentional."
Gu Shufei seemed to be relieved, and repeatedly emphasized that Cuihe and the others did not do it on purpose, and asked the prince not to punish them.
The prince's round body bowed to Gu Shufei, and his eyes on his plump face rolled around, "The girl has a good heart."
He didn't say he would punish them, nor did he say he wouldn't punish them. He just smiled and told Gu Shufei to go back and rest, so she didn't have to worry about clothes anymore.
After Gu Shufei left, Eunuch Wang's fat and round face immediately darkened, and he ordered the little eunuch behind him: "Go and call Cui He and the others."
The next morning, when Gu Shufei was pretending to dry the clothes, she heard the gossiping voices of the little palace ladies again.
"Last night, did sister hear the screams of Aunt Cuihe and the others being beaten?"
The palace maid in green clothes thought she was very quiet and spoke to the palace maid next to her.
"Stop talking and get to work."
The other palace maid didn't answer anything, and moved her hands a little faster.
