After Eunuch Zhao and others carried the hot water and left, the maid refilled the pot with water and continued to boil it while talking to Yu Xiaoxiao.
"May I have your name?"
Yu Xiaoxiao pretended to be shy and smiled and said, "I don't have a name. Before I was sold, my family called me Liuya because I was the sixth oldest."
"Then I'll call you Liuya too. My name is Chunmei. I'm older than you. Just call me Sister Chunmei."
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and shouted: "Sister Chunmei."
Chunmei nodded in agreement and told Yu Xiaoxiao about the rules here: "Except for the two specified hours, you don't need to ask for hot water. At other times when each palace needs hot water, you must note it down and report it to the manager."
"Okay, I know."
"Well, then go ahead and squint for a while."
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and squinted her eyes to rest like Chunmei did before.
At the beginning of Yinshi, Yu Xiaoxiao was woken up by Chunmei, and the day's work began.
As time went by, Yu Xiaoxiao became more and more proficient in her job and was able to complete it with ease.
On this day, Yu Xiaoxiao finally had a day off, and she planned to lie in bed and sleep all day.
Xiaoyue suddenly came to her. Yu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. He didn't have a deep friendship with her. Why did she come to him?
"Liuya, can you do me a favor?"
Yu Xiaoxiao blinked, a little speechless. Do they have any fatal relationship?
For no reason, I asked if I could do her a favor, or was she acting too stupid in this palace or something?
However, the character still had to stand firm. Yu Xiaoxiao became nervous instantly, hesitating a lot, not daring to look at her, wishing she could shrink her head.
"Xiaoyue, I...I..."
Xiaoyue held Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and begged: "Liuya, I beg you to help me, okay? If you don't help me, I will really die. For the sake of our time together, Help me..."
Yu Xiaoxiao frowned secretly and asked tentatively: "Can you tell me more specifically?"
Xiaoyue seemed a little confused. When she heard Yu Xiaoxiao's words, she hesitated for a moment and then decided to give it a go.
"I was favored by the emperor the day before yesterday, but since that day, the emperor seems to have forgotten me. What should I do?"
Yu Xiaoxiao twitched her lips, how could she help in this matter? She was not the emperor, and she could not instruct the emperor.
Just when Yu Xiaoxiao was speechless to the extreme, Xiaoyue finally said her plan: "Can you give me the prescription of your sachet?"
Yu Xiaoxiao blinked again, becoming even more confused. What does this have to do with the prescription of her sachet?
Could it be that the prescription of my sachet is different?
No, the medicinal materials in this sachet are all picked by myself, and the ingredients are just for sleeping...
When Yu Xiaoxiao thought about the effect of the prescription, she had a bold idea: The emperor might have headaches and insomnia.
"prescription?"
Xiaoyue's eyes were filled with anticipation, and Yu Xiaoxiao could only continue to act, as if she was very innocent, without even thinking about the connection between them.
"What do you want this for? Do you have insomnia?"
Xiaoyue nodded and said: "Since that day, I couldn't sleep all night long, and I remembered that I took a sachet from you before. Didn't I listen to you at that time? The sachet you made was inside Adding medicinal herbs can make people sleep peacefully."
Yu Xiaoxiao still pretended to be stupid and didn't understand: "That's it, then I'll tell you..."
Xiaoyue was very happy after getting the prescription, but she did not leave immediately. She continued to chat with Yu Xiaoxiao and inquired about the source of the prescription.
Yu Xiaoxiao was very naive and easy to deceive, so she told her that she learned about it from a wandering monk, who said that the monk taught her the lesson because of a meal.
After hearing this, Xiaoyue asked Yu Xiaoxiao if she knew where the monk was now. Yu Xiaoxiao said without warning: "That monk was already very old. When I met him, he didn't have much time left. Later, he still I asked someone to help bury him.”
"That's it," there is no proof. Xiaoyue slightly raised her lips. This is her opportunity. Liuya, don't blame me. It's useless even if you keep this opportunity. Why not give it to me? I won't be ungrateful.
Xiaoyue knew everything she wanted to know, so she stood up and said goodbye: "Liuya, thank you, but I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
"good."
Yu Xiaoxiao watched her leave, shook her head, and ignored her.
Half a month later, Xiaoyue came again, but this time she came as a talented person.
After Yu Xiaoxiao greeted her, she took Yu Xiaoxiao to talk alone.
"Liuya, thank you. If it weren't for your prescription, I wouldn't be here today. Just wait for me. When my status is higher, I can take you with me."
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to her, but she still had to cooperate with her performance. She said with joy on her face: "Really? You are so kind to me."
Xiaoyue said with a smile that it was definitely true, and then gave Yu Xiaoxiao all kinds of cakes, saying that the days ahead would be many and wonderful.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn’t want to spoil her character, so she could only continue to pretend to be innocent. She would believe whatever people said and follow them along.
After finally tricking the person away, Yu Xiaoxiao said that she wanted to change jobs.
On the same day, Yu Xiaoxiao began to look for a breakthrough to see what kind of job she could change. After choosing from many options, she focused on the errand of Leng Gong.
After making the decision, she began to contact people intentionally or unintentionally, revealing that she had heard that the job in the cold palace was simple and suitable for retirement, and she wanted to go.
How can I put it, the relationship between personnel in the palace is complicated, Yu Xiaoxiao only revealed it to the people in the imperial dining room, but within a day, someone came from the cold palace, a palace maid who was about the same age as her.
When the person arrived, Yu Xiaoxiao happened to have some free time. As soon as the person arrived, he identified the person and walked straight towards her.
She just came over and smiled at the other three people who were lighting the fire. Chunmei and the others immediately smiled and said, "Sister Yueqing is here."
The palace maid named Yue Qing just smiled faintly at this, and then waved to Yu Xiaoxiao, gesturing for her to follow her out.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Chunmei and the others, but before she could speak, Chunmei said: "Go quickly, that is the daughter of the kitchen aunt, please pay attention, we will help you keep an eye on the stove fire."
Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at them gratefully, then ran after them.
The three of them started gossiping in low voices: "Don't you know why Yueqing is looking for Liuya?"
The look on the other maid's face showed that she knew. Come and ask her what she meant, Chunmei did what she wanted: "You know?"
"Of course, I heard that Liuya was deceived by someone, saying that Leng Palace was a good place to go, so Yueqing came here."
Chunmei's voice became lower and lower: "Didn't Yueqing do something wrong and be sent to the cold palace? Can this be changed?"
"You don't know this, right? I heard that the incident in Yueqing has gone viral, and Aunt Chu is planning to assign a palace maid at will and replace her with someone else."
"So, Liuya fell into someone's hands?"
"Who says it's not..."
