After hearing this idea, Zhao Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and her face was blank. After a while, she burst into laughter, paused for a moment, and shook her head slightly: "Let's forget it."
It's not that she is kind and compassionate, and she still cares about the sisterly love. When Zhao Zhilan wanted to change her marriage to death, she no longer had much sisterly affection for Zhao Zhilan. She just felt that since the relationship would be severed in the future anyway, why bother with this matter?
Furthermore, Shi Yun's idea sounds funny and seems like a simple prank, but if you really think about it, it's not easy to do. First of all, you have to catch a ham. Which of the maids and mothers in this yard can be caught?
Even if she could be caught, how could Shi Yun, the personal maid of an older girl, quietly put something into the second girl's bed?
It’s not that you can’t let it go, it’s that you can’t let people catch it. Once caught, Zhao Ruolan's current grievances will appear to be a joke and an illusion. Maybe even the little guilt that Zhao Yu and Zhao Li felt would be offset.
Looking at it this way, it is not cost-effective at all.
Zhao Ruolan just wanted to sever ties with Zhao Zhilan, not with the Zhao family. The third prince is now useless. If even the Zhao family doesn't lend a hand to help, then she will really be a beggar rather than a princess in the future.
Shi Yun was a little anxious: "This slave is not afraid of being punished. There is a girl protecting this slave..."
Zhao Ruolan waved her hand, with a slight touch of emotion on her face: "Silly girl, I know you have always been loyal and only think about me, but I have to think about you. Even if I can protect you, a beating is inevitable. Seeing that I am about to go out, if you are injured, who will help me get into the sedan?"
She touched Shi Yun's head: "Don't worry, I think I'm at a disadvantage now, but it will last a lifetime. Looking back in the future, maybe who will be at a disadvantage."
Shi Yun found out helplessly that she might not be able to complete her task in a short time.
Otherwise, should we accept our fate and take our time? This was her first time doing a task, and she didn't understand how to complete the task. Secondly, she didn't know where to go after completing it. It was useless to just worry about it. It was better to calm down and treat it as... really has traveled through time.
Anyway, both of her parents were dead and she had no relatives or friends. Even if she died, at most she would be troublesome for the country to collect her body.
When I went out the next day, Mrs. Quanfu came in before dawn. Naturally, the maids like Shi Yun had to get busy, boiling water for the eldest girl to take a bath, preparing personal belongings, and tidying up the things in the house. If you don't want to leave, you have to seal it up, and you have to take it with you again when you return home in three days.
Especially clothes and the like. You can't take old ones with you now. They all have to be packed in boxes and locked to avoid accidents if they are lost.
Shi Yun followed Qingyun to work, and she kept walking all morning, either going to the kitchen to ask for water, carrying breakfast for the maids, or preparing dressing things for the eldest girls.
After finally finishing it, it was already close to noon. The older girls couldn’t eat at noon, and Shi Yun and the others couldn’t eat too much. After all, they were unfamiliar with the place when they entered the palace. If they ate too much, their stomachs wouldn’t be able to bear it. It would be a joke by then. Not good.
Mrs. Zhao Li came to talk to Zhao Ruolan again. This time she couldn't say anything sad, so as not to make the bride cry, and the makeup would have to be done again.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao Li only talked about how to serve her parents-in-law in the future. The royal family is different from the people, so what Mrs. Zhao Li said was also general.
When Shi Yun stood behind Zhao Ruolan, she felt that Zhao Ruolan was a little absent-minded and would look outside from time to time. Shi Yun also looked, but there was nothing outside.
Finally, when it was almost time to apply, the sound of gongs and drums finally came from outside. Not to mention Zhao Ruolan, even Zhao Li felt refreshed and hurriedly got up and went outside. When the sound of gongs and drums came into the courtyard of the deep house, the team welcoming the bride was already at the door.
Zhao Ruolan has an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger brother and younger sister. Now all the men went to the front yard, preparing to embarrass the groom, while the women were all on Zhao Ruolan's side. Without Zhao Zhilan, the rest were probably not very close to each other. After a few dry words, they all It is quite now.
Only the sound of firecrackers and the sounds of guests chatting and laughing came in.
"Third sister, my clothes will be given to you in the future." Zhao Ruolan suddenly said this. The third girl was stunned for a moment and quickly saluted: "Eldest sister is kind and my younger sister understands it. Do you want to give it all to me?"
Zhao Ruolan nodded, and the third girl was a little excited: "Thank you so much, sister."
The fourth girl watched eagerly, and Zhao Ruolan added: "All my rouge, gouache, and spices were given to the fourth sister."
The fourth girl also quickly thanked her. The status of a concubine is low. Zhao Ruolan is the eldest daughter, so the things she wears in daily life must be better than theirs. Even if they are used, why don't you be happy if you get them for free?
After Zhao Ruolan finished speaking here, the wedding team over there entered the door.
Brother Zhao came in from outside and asked Zhao Ruolan directly: "Are you ready?"
When Zhao Ruolan lowered his head, he lifted up the hem of his clothes and squatted directly in front of Zhao Ruolan. Zhao Ruolan leaned forward and lay down. Brother Zhao stood up and warned again: "Be careful and hold on tight."
"One step at a time, husband and wife will be harmonious."
"Two steps will last forever."
"If you take three steps, you will have both children and children."
Xipo hurriedly shouted after her, and Qingyun and Shiyun quickly followed. Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, Shi Yun could hear Brother Zhao's ardent warning: "Be extremely careful. This is the royal family. You need to be cautious, but you don't have to be patient. If you feel aggrieved, remember to tell me and let people go." Send a message home, brother will support you no matter what, but if it doesn't work, let's put a sack on the third prince and beat him up, so that he will be afraid and he won't bully you."
"Although he is a prince, you don't have to be afraid of him."
"The queen may be dissatisfied with you, after all... but you don't have to be afraid. The emperor has granted you the marriage. The emperor must be clear about this matter. Just live your own life in peace."
"Be careful."
When they arrived at the door, all they said was this sentence. Brother Zhao stuffed Zhao Ruolan into the sedan. He couldn't see anything through the hijab, but Brother Zhao felt in a daze that he saw Zhao Ruolan crying. He only had time to say The last sentence: "Okay."
With the sound of gongs and drums, the sedan chair was lifted up, and the third prince was riding a horse outside. The group left the Zhao family and took a detour to the palace.
Due to the distance, Shi Yun could not clearly see the appearance of the third prince. She sat on the carriage and held Qingyun's hand nervously: "Tell me, what should we do if we break the rules in the palace?"
She had never learned any rules and etiquette at all. That is to say, after Zhao Ruolan's marriage was settled, the palace sent two nuns to give guidance for a few days. What could she learn in a few days?
Qingyun comforted her: "Don't be afraid. The rules in the palace are stricter than those in the Marquis' Mansion. If you are afraid, follow our girl, the Queen..."
She stretched out her hand and nodded: "I won't treat our girl harshly."
As for going behind the scenes, as long as you are reasonable, there is no need to be afraid of going behind the scenes.
Shi Yun pursed her lips. She said this lightly. So many Gong Douwen said it. Even if you didn't make a mistake, if the higher-ups want you to die at the third watch, then you won't live until the fifth watch. This place in the palace is not that easy to mess around with.
But she couldn't say anything else, so she could only hope in her heart that her life would be better. Or, the older girl is more blessed and more powerful.
The carriage was shaking, and just when Shi Yun felt that she was about to be knocked apart, she finally heard someone shouting to open the palace door, and then the team paused briefly, and then a eunuch came over to ask them to get out of the car - the palace was Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to pass, unless they have a special status or have received an imperial edict.
Shi Yun and the others were part of the dowry category, so naturally they were not qualified.
The palace walls are very high, and the paths are long and deep enough for two or three people to walk side by side. There were eunuchs and nuns in red leading the way. Shi Yun and the others entered the prince's residence and then entered a small courtyard before finally arriving at the place.
Zhao Ruolan and the third prince are already having their wedding. The emperor is not here, and only the empress is sitting in a high position. Po Xi called to worship the world, and the surrounding guests started cheering in good faith. Before Shi Yun could see anything, someone else came to lead her and Qingyun to the other side.
"This is the wedding room. The third prince and the third prince's concubine will be back soon. Please wait here." The nanny explained carefully: "If you have anything to do, just ask the maid outside, who usually serves the third prince. Yes, they are all familiar with the palace."
After the explanation was completed, the nanny left first.
Shi Yun looked at Qingyun and then at Qinghua, then stretched out her hand to touch her stomach. As expected, her stomach grumbled twice. In fact, they have only eaten one meal from morning to now, and they cannot eat too much. It is not easy to survive until now.
"Ask outside, can we get some snacks?" Qinghua asked. Qingyun was very steady. She was the invisible leader among the three, and she nodded at this moment: "Wait a minute, I'll go ask."
When she arrived outside the door, she first greeted the palace maid: "May I ask your sister's name?"
"You're welcome. My name is Xiuxiu, and I'm the maid of honor here. If you have any questions, just tell me." The maid replied, and Qingyun quickly saluted: "Miss Xiuxiu, can I have a place to wash my hands?" ?”
She smiled sheepishly: "It's too hot today. We came all the way here... If we don't clean up, I'm afraid we'll be rude when we meet the noble man." There was a smell of sweat standing there, how could the master feel better?
Xiuxiu smiled and said: "I had expected it. Come here, don't be in a hurry. It will take a while. You guys wash your face and eat something to fill your stomach first. It doesn't matter if you can't make it in time. Could it be that in this palace? Will there be less people to serve you?"
