Cen Xijin crouched down in the corner, stroking the coarse cloth palace clothes on his body with his small, dry and rough hands.
The prickly texture, mottled dyeing, rough collar, and the cuffs and skirt with huge stitches all truly reminded her: You have traveled through time, and you have become a little palace maid.
That's right, the little palace maid is still the kind who just entered the palace and is at the lowest level.
Cen Xijin raised his head without tears, but when he raised his head, he saw the sky in the four corners, the dazzling sun...
Rubbing his eyes, Cen Xijin forced himself to calm down.
It has been three days since she came here.
In three days, Cen Xijin had figured out his situation.
This is an imaginary dynasty, the Dali Dynasty.
In the ninth year of Zhengxing, the world was unified, the seas and rivers were clear, and the world was at peace.
As for her, she was Cen Hongyao, a nine-year-old maid who was sold to human traffickers by her parents in order to save her sick brother, and then sold into the palace along the way.
She suffered a serious illness a few days ago, but she didn't expect that it was Cen Xijin who survived.
"Okay, Cen Hongyao! Auntie asked you to clean up, but you came here to hide! See if I don't tell auntie!"
A delicate, snow-white round face just burst into Cen Xijin's sight.
Facing this young but powerful little palace maid, Cen Xijin had no choice but to give in with a wry smile. She pulled the little palace maid's sleeves and said: "Sister Taohua, I just felt uncomfortable, so I sat down to rest. All of a sudden, no, I’m going to get up and continue cleaning. Sister, please be kind to me out of consideration for sharing the same room.”
Taohua was dumbfounded by Cen Xijin's words. She was not a person who was strong at screwdrivers. She also knew that Cen Xijin had been ill before and was not in good health. She just couldn't bear to see that she was being manipulated like something, but there was someone here. He was being lazy, so he still puffed out his cheeks and said nothing.
Cen Xijin tugged at the corner of Taohua's clothes again, softened his voice into a puddle of spring water, and whispered: "Sister, if you tell aunt, I will definitely be punished. Hongyao, my life is like a piece of grass, even if I am punished, it will not matter. It's nothing important. It's just that with such a big painting hall and so many jobs, I don't know which sister will fall into the hands. The sisters have a lot of things on their hands. I don't have anything to do. I'm just afraid of being tired. Sister."
Saying that, Cen Xijin looked at Taohua with a worried look.
Taohua nodded and thought, the red medicine makes sense, she can't get into trouble like this!
Suiqing coughed a few times, his face became serious, and he said: "You are good at talking today. Okay, I'll just talk for a while and won't tell my aunt. You're such a jerk. If I see you being lazy again next time... …”
Cen Xijin worked hard and looked confident: "There will be no next time. Thank you sister."
After fooling the peach blossom away, Cen Xijin resignedly picked up the copper basin and picked up the rag. Alas, as a psychological counselor in a middle school, he is now being bullied by children. What a bad luck.
Is this the changing of fortunes?
Cen Xijin spent a lot of effort to open the door, holding a basin, and walked into the Huajin Hall in a daze.
This Huajin Hall was Sun Jieyu's residence when she was a beauty.
Now that she has been promoted to the position of Jieyu and is His Majesty's new favorite, she has moved to the exquisite and luxurious Lanruo Pavilion.
Huajin Hall just fell idle.
And she, Cen Xijin, was a little palace maid who was ordered to clean up after the family moved away. What kind of beauty, Jieyu, Your Majesty, are all too far away from her world.
Because Sun Jieyu had just moved out of Huajin Hall a few days ago, the place was not as dirty and messy as Cen Xijin imagined. The empty room was only covered with a thin layer of dust, making it appear empty and quiet.
After Cen Xijin symbolically wiped the conspicuous areas of Huajin Hall, the afternoon passed like this.
She didn't meet any big shot who seemed ordinary but had a mysterious background. She didn't even meet a palace maid or eunuch. Huajin Hall without the beloved concubine would be like a cold palace. How could those people come here?
However, Cen Xijin enjoyed this peaceful and quiet time very much.
A quiet environment helps people think.
Due to her profession as a psychological counselor, Cen Xijin is actually a person who can easily calm down and think.
Time travel has become a fact, she admits it.
She also recognized the identity of the little palace maid.
In Cen Xijin's opinion, no matter how bad a little palace maid is, she is still better than the emperor's woman, right? I spent the whole day fighting with a group of women over a man, and even ended up fighting to the death. I accidentally even lost my life.
Yesterday, she heard Taohua say that if a palace maid wants to leave the palace when she gets older and is not in an important position, she will be released from the palace.
This news made Cen Xijin very excited.
As the saying goes, a monk rings a bell every day.
She is only nine years old now. Staying in the palace is not a bad thing, and leaving the palace is not necessarily a good thing. Cen Xijin can only smile at those Mary Sue heroines who are always making troubles about leaving the palace to be free.
A strong person breaks easily, a big tree attracts the wind, and people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. She just wants to live well and live in a low-key way.
But what Cen Xijin didn't expect was that the legendary palace fight would come so quickly.
For the little maids in Xiangzhang Courtyard, the most relaxing and comfortable moment of the day is when they have dinner.
Cen Xijin's spot-setting skills have been perfected since he was in school.
She lowered her head, held up her sleeves in an orderly manner, and walked along the vermilion palace wall step by step.
At this moment, many young maids had arrived in Xiangzhang Courtyard one after another, so few people noticed her arrival.
Not standing out and not eye-catching is the effect Cen Xijin wants.
"Hongyao, you're here, I've reserved all the seats for you," the speaker was Yingcao, the little palace maid who slept next to Cen Xijin. She was ten years old this year and was from a small family. She was related to her. Not bad, and saw Yingcao pulling Cen Xijin to her side with a smile, and whispered, "I heard from some sisters that there will be some good dishes tonight, so I came here early."
Cen Xijin pursed his lips and smiled, just nodded but said nothing.
Yingcao carefully looked around, then lowered her voice and shared what she heard: "It was rewarded by Sister Nanzhu who is next to the Concubine Xian. I heard that she had the honor to serve His Majesty last night, and today she will be promoted to the title of Chi Luo is such a talented person. I didn’t expect that she is still so kind. Even if she flew up a branch, she would not forget the sisters in each house! She is really like a Bodhisattva!"
Cen Xijin raised her eyebrows and twitched the corners of her lips in admiration: "It's such a blessing to have such talented people. Now we can also be happy." She thought in her heart that she could get thousands of benefactors for such a good meal. Thank you, she really disagrees with this girl's worldview.
Primrose smiled and wanted to continue saying something, but was interrupted by a very unfriendly voice.
"You are still looking forward to the saliva of a barbarian woman. You are really a slave born to be humble."
Hearing this, Cen Xijin secretly raised his head and glanced at this man.
The seven or eight-year-old girl has lively eyebrows and beautiful facial features. She can be happy or angry, and is pretty and cute. Although she is wearing the same blue palace robe as them, the material is made of excellent Hangzhou silk, all around the corners. It is made with exquisite workmanship. In addition, this little girl also has a dazzling pigeon blood stone necklace on her neck. Her every move and every move is like a high-profile lady.
She is indeed different from them.
