Qingyun took Shiyun and Qinghua together, and the three of them went to wash up with Xiuxiu, and were then led to a small room to eat.
"This is the room I usually live in. I also have a sister named Lingling, and we live here together." Xiu Xiu introduced enthusiastically: "In the future, you may share a room with us, or you may live next door. House. These meals are clean, brought from the imperial kitchen, and prepared for the banquet."
Preparing meals can never be just right, it can always be a little too much. Xiuxiu put the food out, and the aroma came out immediately: braised pork, rock sugar elbow, sweet and sour fish, eight-treasure duck, and a roast chicken.
The rice, on the other hand, was a little rough. Xiu Xiu was a little embarrassed: "This is what our normal monthly routine is like."
Qingyun nodded to express his understanding. The monthly schedule of a maid must be different from that of a master. Fine grains are expensive, several times the price of coarse grains. It is impossible for any family to feed their maids with fine grains, but sometimes they are lucky and the master refuses to eat and is willing to reward them, so the maids can enjoy the food.
Shi Yun was a little anxious. The three maids had gone out to eat, and Zhao Ruolan was the only one left with her. She urged Qingyun with her eyes, but Qingyun was not in a hurry and continued to eat slowly.
While Xiuxiu went to pour tea, she lowered her voice and said, "Let's eat, we are not needed tonight."
Shi Yun was not stupid, and she understood instantly - it was not easy for the unmarried maids to serve this kind of thing, so only the close maid was left behind. However, the absence of Lingling means that Lingling is serving in the house?
While eating, Shi Yun thought quickly. If this was the case, then Lingling would probably be the third prince's maid, and she would not be treated the same as Xiu Xiu in the future.
She finished eating here, and as expected, Xiuxiu began to arrange for them to stay. Lingling didn't come back at night, so Qingyun stayed in Lingling's bed for the time being. Qinghua took Shiyun to the next room, which was also a small room with only two beds, quilts and pillows.
But I don't know how long the bedding had been there, and it smelled like a musty smell.
"Girl..." Qing Hua said, Shi Yun quickly corrected her: "I want to call her the third prince's concubine."
"Isn't it just the two of us?" Qing Hua said nonchalantly, while Shi Yun said seriously: "It's not good to call it casually. If you call it smoothly, it will hurt the face of the third prince and concubine if you call it in front of others. what to do?"
Isn’t it good to teach even a little maid?
Qinghua had no choice but to mutter and admit her mistake: "Okay, I understand, let's just rest like this? Don't we need to wait on the third prince's concubine? Who will wait on the third prince's concubine to wash up?"
"Someone should call us, right?" Shi Yun said. Lingling can serve in the house, but for the bathing matter, she probably has to serve the third prince. So isn't Zhao Ruolan alone? Mammy can help, but she can't take care of it alone.
"Let's go and guard the door." After a moment, Shi Yun said. Qinghua was a little surprised. Among the three maids, she and Qingyun were born in the same family. They followed the rules of elementary school and served others. They followed the girl for a long time and she was considered the girl's confidant. When we were at Zhao's house, Qingyun was the leader around the girl, followed by Shi Yun. She talks like this and acts like this. Shi Yun has always been stupid, just doing things and never making decisions. Now, why did Yun suddenly start to make up her mind at this time? How dare she make up her mind?
"Sister Qingyun said..." Qinghua pursed her lips and said, Qingyun just said that they should listen to Xiuxiu and don't have to wait on them at night.
"But we only have the third princess left, will she be afraid too?" Shi Yun deceived. Of course, she felt that with Zhao Ruolan's temperament, she would probably not be afraid, but isn't this a loyal person? Opportunity? When she becomes Zhao Ruolan's confidant, won't she know everything about Zhao Ruolan?
"Will it break the rules of the palace?" Qinghua asked, hesitantly.
"If you are afraid, then just wait here and I will go by myself." Shi Yun said, stood up, put on her shoes rustlingly, opened the door gently, and looked outside - the wedding banquet It had dispersed, and there was no sound outside, not even the footsteps of people walking around.
The room where the maids lived was in the back room. From here, you had to go around a side room to see the main room. At the door of the main room, there were two nuns, a eunuch, and a palace maid guarding the door.
Of the four people, Shi Yun only knew one - Zhao Ruolan's nanny.
She walked over quietly, and the eunuch turned to look at her halfway, but did not stop her. Shi Yun paused for a moment and continued walking forward. Auntie turned her head when she heard the movement. When she saw it was her, she waved: "Have a rest?"
She nodded, lowered her voice and spoke to her mother: "Miss Xiuxiu took us to eat and wash up, and arranged for us to live in the reverse room. Is this Miss Lingling?"
Mammy nodded and raised her voice slightly, just enough for the two people opposite to hear: "This is His Highness's nanny, called Aunt Gu, and this is the person next to His Highness, just call her Miss Lingling."
Shi Yun quickly saluted. She had learned it at the Zhao family. Although it was a bit stiff, it was better than the standard and there was no need to travel.
Aunt Gu is a relatively serious person, and she would only say hello with a slight nod. Miss Lingling smiled and said, "Have Xiu Xiu told you about the rules in this palace?"
"Miss Xiuxiu said something." Shi Yun said quickly, Lingling nodded: "Don't worry, we will serve the master together in the future. If you don't know anything, just ask me. As time goes by, you will know everything. .”
Shi Yun was about to speak when she heard a sound coming from the room, like someone shouting in pain or vague voices.
Shi Yun's face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed. Looking at others, Lingling's face was still full of smiles, Aunt Gu's expression did not change at all, and Aunty Nanny also lowered her head and stared at her toes, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Shi Yun quickly comforted herself. Others were not embarrassed, and she was not embarrassed either.
About half an hour later, a man inside shouted: "Here comes someone."
Lingling hurriedly responded, then tiptoed open the door. Auntie winked at Shiyun, and Shiyun quickly followed her in.
The third prince was sitting on the edge of the bed with his upper body covered with a thin quilt, while the third prince's concubine was lying face-in, with the quilt covering her neck to her toes.
After entering the maid, the third prince only glanced at her with squinted eyes, then stood up and opened his arms. At that moment, Shi Yun almost wanted to dig out her eyes. She turned her head slightly to look at Lingling, and saw Lingling calmly taking a long coat and putting it on the third prince.
The third prince strode outside, and Shi Yun quickly went to help the third prince's concubine. Zhao Ruolan's face was not shy at all, but she was very white. She was shaking a little when she was helped up. The nanny lowered her voice and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Zhao Ruolan pursed her lips and paused briefly before saying, "It's okay."
The third prince was not a pity person. Although he comforted Zhao Ruolan when she cried out that she was in pain, this was the first time. How could she not feel pain?
Over there, Aunt Gu directed people to bring the bathtub in - the third prince went to another room to wash up. It was probably out of sympathy for Zhao Ruolan that they had someone carry the bathtub in to prevent Zhao Ruolan from walking around again.
Shi Yun helped Zhao Ruolan get into the bathtub and helped her wash up with her nanny.
"Where are Qingyun and Qinghua?" Zhao Ruolan asked. Shiyun didn't hide anything and told everything that happened before. Zhao Ruolan nodded: "Qingyun is obedient, Qinghua... is a little timid."
Shi Yun blinked, so Qingyun said there was no need to come over before, but Zhao Ruolan gave the order?
"You are loyal, but your brain is a bit stupid." Zhao Ruolan turned to look at Shi Yun, with a slight smile on her face, and reached out to poke Shi Yun's forehead: "If you don't come, I will have an excuse. Leave the third prince behind."
For some reason, Shi Yun's mind came up with the idea of a couple bathing together.
Thinking about it again, it was really like this. Without a personal maid, Zhao Ruolan could show off her fear, timidity and helplessness when she first entered the palace, and then logically let the third prince stay.
So, Shi Yun, a smart person, did something stupid?
"Forget it, I'll teach you slowly in the future. Loyalty is enough." Zhao Ruolan said with a smile. Shi Yun pursed her lips and quickly wrapped the hair in her hands to avoid getting wet - it was very awkward to wash her hair at night. It is easy to dry, but if you go to bed without drying it, you will definitely have a headache the next day. After making sure that her hair was intact, she took the water ladle next to her and gave Zhao Ruolan a rinse.
The third prince washed up quickly. When he came in, Zhao Ruolan was still bathing behind the screen. When he heard the footsteps, he quickly speeded up.
Shi Yun and Nanny only need to lift the person out and put him on the bed, and then help Nanny Gu get the bathtub out. Lingling still has to stay outside the bed to prevent the masters from asking for water at night. Those who get off can go back and rest individually.
When Shi Yun returned to the room, Qing Hua hadn't fallen asleep yet. He quickly sat up when he heard the noise: "Has the third prince asked about me?"
Shi Yun nodded and did not mention Zhao Ruolan's comments. She only said, "The third prince praised you and Sister Qingyun for being obedient. She said I was stupid and only loyal."
Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief: "There are rules everywhere in this palace. I know you are loyal, but you should be more careful in the future, lest you walk around at will, break the palace rules again, and bring trouble to the third prince and concubine."
"I understand, I won't make my own decisions in the future. It's getting late, and I have to wait for the third prince to get up early tomorrow. Go to bed quickly." Shi Yun said vaguely, covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes, and it was sunny over there. Hua muttered a few more words, but Shi Yun pretended not to hear, and only thought about her own thoughts in her heart - Zhao Ruolan seemed to be feeling proud at that moment just now?
