On the first day of the first lunar month, the New Year was celebrated, and the palace was full of joy. She had no background in pearl fishing, and she offended the aunt in charge. The garden had not been plowed yet, and the aunt in charge refused to give her food.
Hungry and cold, she had no choice but to come to the small hole on the side of Zhaoyang Palace again. She thought that if her luck was gone, it would be gone. Now it was important to fill her stomach and get through this difficulty.
After waiting for a long time, he finally saw Princess Xiyue walking out of the side hall, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Caizhu meowed a few times like a cat, and Princess Xiyue immediately looked over.
When she ran over, Cai Zhu said with a blushing face: "Mommy is making things difficult for me and doesn't give me food. I wonder if the princess... the princess still has... a lot?"
Begging for food with three or four-year-old children is a shameful experience.
Princess Xiyue inside the palace wall didn't have any embarrassment. She nodded, turned around and ran into the palace and came out carrying a food box.
As soon as he handed over a plate of plain silver sandwich cakes, he heard an angry curse coming from the back room: "Little broom star, it's so early in the morning, ping ping ping pong pong, are you running away? You are a rotten broom star..."
The unpleasant curses came one after another, so harsh and extremely vicious that even Caizhu knew that most of her curses were true, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for Princess Xiyue.
This kind of fate is not what Princess Xiyue wants. After all, she is only a three or four-year-old girl.
Cursing and cursing, the nanny came out from the back room and stood by the west corner door with one hand on her hip, pointing at Princess Xiyue and continuing to curse.
Caizhu was even more sympathetic. With this attitude of the nanny, she didn't know how to rub the princess off behind her back.
At this time, she saw Princess Xi Yue's cold face, slowly bending down, picking up a stone, aiming with half-squinted eyes, then rounded her little arms, and threw it out suddenly.
"Ouch! The evil-hearted Sangmenxing deserves to be a short-lived ghost. Believe it or not, I will mix a piece of rat poison and poison you to death..."
She was a bit unable to regain her composure while fishing for pearls. The distance from the corner gate to this side was at least three to four feet. Princess Xiyue was so young and her accuracy was so good!
Coincidence, right?
As she was thinking this, she saw the little girl inside the palace wall picking up stones and throwing them out neatly, hitting her grandma again.
Once can be a coincidence, twice can be...
Zhuizhu's face turned pale, could Princess Xiyue be the reincarnation of a goblin?
She almost ran away.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it has been twelve years. The little palace maid who was bullied by others has now become the aunt in charge.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Suizhu led two rows of little palace ladies to walk slowly along the palace road. When she turned the corner, she saw the Zhaoyang Palace not far away standing quietly in the afterglow of the setting sun, as deserted as before.
Twelve years have passed, and Princess Xiyue is sixteen years old and has only two years left to live.
Caizhu couldn't help but sigh. After surviving the Spring Festival that year, she was spotted by the aunt of the Shangyi Bureau and transferred to the Shangyi Bureau. After several years of experience, she was gradually promoted to the aunt in charge.
After that, she never went to Zhaoyang Palace again. She only heard that the nanny of Zhaoyang Palace passed away three years ago, and no one from the palace was arranged to be on duty.
After sighing for a few words, Caizhu slowly withdrew his gaze and walked forward without squinting.
The little maids behind them unconsciously held their breath and quickened their pace. During the festival, no one wanted to be exposed to the bad luck of the cold palace.
The sun gradually sank into the horizon, the silvery-white full moon slowly rose into the sky, and the orange palace lanterns gradually lit up. The lights in the Zichen Palace were brightly lit, as if it were daytime, and amid the singing and dancing, the Mid-Autumn Night Banquet began.
The sound of silk, bamboo and laughter came from far away, making other palaces seem particularly deserted, and the excitement of the entire palace seemed to be concentrated there.
A dark shadow came in from the northwest corner door, followed the shadow of the eaves corridor, avoided the guards, and nimbly shuttled between the palace buildings.
A quarter of an hour later, he stopped at the door of Zhaoyang Palace. He looked up at the plaque on the door with the faint light of the palace lantern. The moonlight fell into his clear eyes, and he could vaguely identify a young man in his prime.
Lu Fei took out a special rope and threw it up the high palace wall. In just a short moment, he used the rope to easily climb into Zhaoyang Palace. He threw away the rope and turned around, "Ouch!"
He was startled. Under the shadow of the pale sycamore trees in the courtyard, there was actually a person sitting with his chin propped up, looking up at him.
The shock lasted only a moment, but he quickly reacted, stepped forward, and covered the man's mouth.
Caught off guard, the person and the stool were pushed down onto the tree trunk behind him. Through the sparse moonlight falling between the leaves, Lu Fei could see clearly that she was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
Wearing a pale pink dress that is not old yet, her hair is tied into a single snail bun with a simple white jade hairpin.
Apart from that, there are no accessories on her body, and she looks like a palace maid on duty at Zhaoyang Palace.
Lu Fei looked around vigilantly and saw no other palace people. He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "I let you go, don't make a sound, just blink your eyes if you agree."
The girl in pink clothes blinked obediently. Lu Fei moved his hand away a little and saw that she really didn't yell. Then he put his hand down with admiration: "That's right. What can be smaller than mine?" Life is more important. I'll just borrow something and leave as soon as I find it. You can pretend you didn't see it."
The girl didn't speak, just looked at him silently.
Lu Fei took her as acquiescence and turned around and walked towards the main hall, "Which room does your master live in?"
The girl pointed obediently to the side hall on the right.
Entering the hall, the tables, chairs, and boxes are all made of rosewood, and the ancient shelves are filled with rare objects. They are just too crowded, and there is no sense of beauty at all.
Lifting the bead curtain and bypassing the screen where koi fish play in the water, you can see that the bed covered with light gauze curtains is indeed the master's palace.
Lu Fei let go of the palace maid, and first searched for it on the shelf, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, even looking at the bedside and other corners, but he still couldn't find the jade rosary.
Unwilling to give up, he looked for another piece, but still found nothing.
"How could it not be?"
Lu Fei touched his chin and was puzzled, and murmured to himself: "In the book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is clearly recorded that the jade rosary was awarded to Zhaoyang Palace on New Year's Eve three years ago. Could it be that the people who live in Zhaoyang Palace now, Isn’t it the same person as three years ago?”
He tilted his head and asked, "Has Zhaoyang Palace changed its owner in the past three years?"
The girl's eyes flashed, and she moved to the bead curtain that separated the inner and outer chambers, picked up one of the beads, pushed aside the colorful thread under the bead curtain, and took out a bright blue moon-colored bead.
"Jade rosary!"
Lu Fei came over with a lunge and stretched out his hand to get it.
The girl raised her arms back and moved away from him.
"What do you want?" Lu Fei understood instantly. The other party took the initiative to give it to him but didn't give it to him. He could only ask for something.
The girl still didn't speak and only raised her hands to gesture. Lu Fei was stunned and suddenly realized that the palace maid had never spoken a word from the beginning to the end. He almost blurted out: "So you are mute! Ouch——"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt a sudden pain in his feet, but the clear almond eyes of the palace maid across from him remained as calm as before, as if the kick just now was not hers.
Lu Fei hugged his feet and hissed in pain. After a while, he finally regained his breath and said with a fierce face: "You are a palace maid, you are too angry and your strength is not weak."
After he regained his breath, the little palace maid continued to outline her intentions, but Lu Fei was confused and had no idea what she wanted.
He pointed to the table outside and said, "Can you write?"
The palace maid shook her head, a little discouraged, but Xuan Er did not give up and continued to gesture.
For a full quarter of an hour, Lu Fei racked his brains and guessed various answers, and finally guessed the correct one. His eyes widened in shock: "You want to leave the palace?"
The maid nodded.
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Lu Fei quickly agreed. He was just taking one person out of the palace, and the jade rosary was more important.
The palace maid in pink put away the jade rosary and made some gestures. With previous experience, Lu Fei quickly understood this time and gave it to him after leaving the palace.
He squinted his eyes and hummed softly. He was a little mute, but quite cautious.
The two of them left the side hall and returned to the courtyard wall where he came down. Lu Fei was thinking about how to take a girl out with no martial arts background. Suddenly he saw the palace maid broke a branch and placed it under the sycamore tree. After groping for a while, he squatted down and started digging in the soil.
After a while, she dug out a celadon jar and saw clearly what was inside. Lu Fei took a deep breath and said, "Are you maids so rich?"
Good guy, there was a whole jar of gold and silver ingots, all of which were fifty-two pieces each. It almost blinded him.
The little palace maid turned a deaf ear to his fuss. She took out a piece of cloth, wrapped the gold and silver ingot, tied it in a knot and carried it on her back. Then she motioned for Lu Fei to squat down with his back to her.
Lu Fei's mouth twitched. For the jade rosary, he had to hold his nose and squat down to carry her on his back, pulling the rope out of Zhaoyang Palace.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the palace people who were not on duty went to join in the fun outside Zichen Palace. The palace alleys were extremely deserted. Lu Fei was familiar with the terrain inside the palace. He took the girl to avoid the guards and came to the cold palace in the northwest corner. He followed the same method and climbed over the wall. Out of the palace.
As soon as we left the palace, the excitement hit us. The streets were brightly lit, the crowds were bustling, and the cries of small merchants and hawkers kept coming.
Lu Fei stood still and stretched out his hand: "Leaving the palace."
The girl was also very straightforward, handed him the jade rosary, turned around and walked towards the lively street.
"What a strange girl." Lu Fei shook his head and walked into the market with the jade rosary in his arms.
As he walked, he saw the girl in front of him stoop and suddenly walk towards the old man selling candied haws.
Lu Fei couldn't believe that she had spent so much effort to get out of the palace. If she didn't leave quickly, she would still be in the mood to buy candied haws!
In his stunned moment, he saw her taking off the cloth bag from her back and preparing to open it. Lu Fei rushed over and covered her hand.
The girl looked at him, her dark eyes full of surprise.
"Ahem, I'm not following you. Where I want to go, I have to pass through this street." Lu Fei explained, took out two copper coins, bought a bunch of candied haws and handed it to her, and then pulled her Go to a deserted corner.
As soon as he reached the corner, Lu Fei hurriedly scolded: "You don't know how to keep your wealth secret. You are a little girl, what should you do if you are stared at by a bad person?
If you use silver ingots to buy candied haws, you can imagine that even if you buy all his candied haws with your fifty taels of silver ingots, it won't be enough for him to make change. I have really stayed in the palace for a long time, and I don't like the fireworks of the world. "
The girl stared at him blankly, as if she had not recovered her consciousness.
Lu Fei was suspicious: "You're not a fool, are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt her body move slightly. In the flash of lightning, he remembered the kick in the palace and hurriedly moved away.
Boom!
Sure enough, the girl's foot hit the ground hard.
Lu Fei was proud: "If the same move fails twice, wouldn't it mean that my past years have been in vain?"
Lu Fei was holding his left foot and spinning around in circles: "You white-eyed wolf, I'm so kind to help you, but I'm so cruel to you, so I just called you a fool, why are you so vindictive? Ouch, it hurts so much." Me, what did you eat to grow up, you are so strong!"
The girl took a few steps back in disgust, then regardless of his yelling, she picked up the candied haws and took a bite.
Her eyes lit up instantly, shining like stars under the light, and then she bit the candied haws with a loud crunching sound.
Seeing this, Lu Fei couldn't help but mutter: "He has no conscience."
The girl still ignored him and ate the candied haws with relish, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.
He shook his head and took out a bunch of copper coins and stuffed them into her: "I have something important to do and I have to leave first. I'll buy one and get one for free with this bunch of copper coins, so don't leave!"
The girl looked at the copper coins in her hand, then at him, and then imitated his clasping fists. Her posture was very irregular and looked particularly funny.
Lu Fei turned around and left. When he passed by the old man selling candied haws, he suddenly thought of the way she was eating candied haws, which seemed delicious.
He walked over, bought some, and took a bite. Lu Fei's nose and eyes suddenly clenched together, sore!
Lu Fei rubbed his sore gums and turned around to see that the girl was still standing there, half of the candied haws was gone.
He felt that water began to secrete from his mouth again, so he quickly looked away and left quickly.
When he returned to the inn, someone was already waiting for him in the room, "Young Master, have you got it?"
Lu Fei nodded and took out the jade rosary. The man became excited and said, "Now Madam is saved!"
Hearing this, Lu Fei's tense heartstrings relaxed for a moment. He handed the jade rosary to the man and said: "At the earliest tonight, or at the latest tomorrow, the palace will find that the jade rosary is missing. Tomorrow morning, you will take it with you When the jade rosary leaves the city, I will draw their attention."
"Yes, young master."
The man turned and left, and when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said: "These days, the young master has worked hard and worked hard. Now that he has obtained the jade rosary, he can relax for a while. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the young master might as well go out for a walk, Nanming The Mid-Autumn Festival here is very different from the one on the island.”
Lu Fei nodded, "Uncle Lu, be careful on the road."
After seeing the big man off, Lu Fei sighed softly. As long as his mother's poison is not resolved, he will not be able to truly feel at ease and how can he really feel relaxed.
He opened the window, and there was a bright moon and bright lights outside. His eyes were slightly lowered, and people were crowding diagonally across from him. On the high platform, the old man held a piece of paper and read loudly: "This mystery is the two broken flowers by the pool in front of the hall..."
Lu Fei's eyes showed envy. The Mid-Autumn Festival in Nanming was indeed very different from that on the island. Such lively lantern riddle guessing had never happened on the island before.
Suddenly, he noticed a familiar figure squeezing its way into the crowd.
"She's not really out for shopping, is she?" Lu Fei couldn't believe it. She didn't look like a palace maid who escaped from the palace!
