Just overnight, the number of maids around the second prince was like a tightly squeezed sponge, and there were only a few left.

I heard that the second prince cried alone on the bed in Linzhi Palace all night.

Cen Xijin didn't bother to care whether the naughty child cried or not. She was still a sick person! So she held Cai Xin's hand, turned around and walked slowly back to her room.

I'm afraid many people in the East Palace won't be able to sleep tonight.

Cen Xijin couldn't leave, and neither could Cai Xin.

On the contrary, Sixi went to Lizheng Hall with Babao. Cai Xin was full of envy for Si Xi's good fortune.

Yonghe will leave the palace in a few days.

Bee and Die'er were determined not to leave, but no one knew whether they were willing or not.

Among the third-class palace maids, Feng'er's glass, pearls and tortoise shells were not left behind. Two of them were transferred away by Cai Si, the Shang Gong Bureau, and one was transferred to serve in Jiang Chongrong's palace. One of Dieer's longan and loquat went to the Sile Division of the Shangyi Bureau, and the other went to the Siling Division of the Shangshi Bureau, but Yingtao didn't make it for some reason.

Kuan'er, Zhui'er and Sui'er, whom Mo'er has personally trained for many years, all followed Mo'er to Shang Bed Bureau. It just depends on luck whether they can be assigned to the same department.

Chun Yan and Xia Ge under Qi Er were all assigned to Liu Cai, who was pregnant. Liu Cai had a gentle temperament, so it was a good place to go. Qiu Juan was the most pitiful, and was transferred to the cold palace to serve those who offended others. Master, and he might even meet Yunxiang.

All the nuns in the kitchen were kicked away, the younger ones were assigned to the concubines of various palaces, and the older ones were preparing to leave the palace. Little court ladies with a little background like Brown Sugar Mung Bean left wherever they could.

Originally, the second prince had dozens or hundreds of palace attendants taking turns waiting on him, but in the end, less than ten people stayed with him.

Cen Xijin made a rough calculation in his mind about the people who followed the second prince to see Xian Guan. There were her, cabbage sum, bee'er, butterfly'er, cherry, and Hui'er and Yingluo among the little maids. , and a vegetable leaf whose name is very similar to that of cabbage heart.

As for the eunuchs, Cen Xijin shouldn't be involved. She only listened to Cai Xin's inquiries, and I'm afraid the situation of the father-in-law's departure and stay was worse than that of the palace maids.

Everyone in the palace knew that although the second prince was young, he was born to be a romantic master, and most of the eunuchs in the East Palace were born to be thick and clumsy. As a result, the second prince never liked having eunuchs close to him. Serving him means doing some hard work and running errands for him, which is fine.

Therefore, there are even fewer eunuchs willing to stay.

When she went back to pack the cabbage, Cen Xijin also tidied up a little, shuffling around in the cabinets and cages, but found that she actually didn't have much to pack.

She had thrown away those three pairs of old-fashioned linen pants long ago. They were too ugly.

After coming to the East Palace, Cen Xijin used her own example to get some materials and asked Wang Xiang Sixi to help her make several new pairs of trousers. Although the style was not much better than the previous ones, the material was really rough. , but the clothes are clean and refreshing.

In addition to trousers, when Wang Xiang had nothing to do, he evened out an extra piece of Suzhou and Hangzhou silk and satin and sewed Cen Xijin a pea green horse-face skirt embroidered with white plums. However, Cen Xijin felt that the material was too rough to wear on weekdays. Not willing to wear it either.

Cen Xijin sighed as she took out the horse-faced skirt from the cabinet and touched the vivid white plum buds on the delicate material.

Wang Xiang was so kind to her. Not only did he give her her beloved mutton-fat jade bracelet, but he also made skirt sachets and other things for her from time to time.

It made Cen Xijin want to make something with her own hands and give it to her.

It is always good to be rewarded by bandits.

It's just...her clumsy stitching skills, after practicing for so long, still can't even embroider a flower, let alone make a skirt or sachet.

The clothes worn by the palace maids are all ready-made. The clothes that the secretary wears are the same ones that come and go. They are either light blue or light pink, and there is no big change.

Cen Xijin was very happy.

The inner clothes are still the same ones she brought with her when she came here. Although they are a little faded, she is a person who only knows how to eat and not how to grow taller. These sets of inner clothes can all be worn for another year and a half, and they are worn inside. Yes, the old one is passable.

After neatly folding the clothes, culottes and pants and putting them all into the box, Cen Xijin suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing else.

Pillows, quilts, etc. should also be prepared at the Jianxian Hall. These are not her personal things and are recorded in the book. Naturally, they cannot be taken away casually.

It seemed that she was so poor that all she had left was the golden beans and the jade bracelet.

It's almost midnight.

At this time, the East Palace was not as sleeping as usual, but there was some low noise.

Who can sleep this night? !

Cen Xijin got into bed, tossing and turning like pancakes and folding the edges. His bright eyes looked at the old curtains and the strings hanging on the curtains. He couldn't sleep.

There was no one in the room, so she really couldn't sleep well.

At least she had Wang Xiang by her side before. Now that Wang Xiang is gone, there are still Sixi and Qiujuan!

But that night, after Sixi packed her things and went to Babao's house, Qiujuan went to cry to her good sister Chunyan and Xiage.

If you go to work as an errand in the cold palace, you will have no future in sight. Cen Xijin felt that she must have offended someone, or knew something that she shouldn't know. It would be better to stay with the second prince than to go to a place like the cold palace where ghosts and wolves howled.

Yes, Cen Xijin has learned from many years of experience watching palace dramas that the cold palace is a place full of crazy women running around and screaming. In that kind of place, it is normal to cry and howl all day long.

But she remembered that the closest place to the Jianxian Pavilion she was going to was the Leng Palace.

Bah, Jianxian Pavilion, Jianxian Pavilion is really not a good place.

unlucky!

Thinking about the crazy women in the cold palace, and thinking about what if those crazy women came out to harass them, Cen Xijin, who was worried about the country and the people, fell asleep in worry.

Even when I fell asleep, I still frowned.

She just likes to think too much, and she always boasts that "people who have no long-term worries must worry about the near future", making herself like a national leader.

To describe a person who is diligent and not lazy but doesn't like to sleep in, people would say: rise when the rooster crows.

But this is unlikely to be seen in the palace.

The palace, this is such a serious and solemn place, can you bear to have the cock crow every morning? For those who didn’t know, I thought pastoral style was popular in the palace recently.

But it just so happens that these days, early every morning, the sky is gray and it is not yet bright, but the rooster crows can be heard from Yaoguang Palace on time.

Cock crowing...what is rooster crow? ! That is the horn of labor and the crusher of dreams!

You said she raises dogs, cats, and fish. What’s wrong with raising them? She has to raise chickens! The most disgusting thing is the cock!

Just because of this matter, everyone in the palace hated Chen Meiren.

Cen Xijin also hates her.

To be precise, he hates the chicken in Chen Meiren's palace.

Whenever the Yaoguang Palace Chicken crows "OoOoOo", she gets scared.

Then he went to work for others full of resentment.

Oh, today I am not working, I am moving.

The second prince also hates those chickens.

At night, he was so sad that he cried loudly. He didn't fall asleep all night. Now that he was dozing off, the roosters in Yaoguang Palace kept him awake.

Moreover, the high-pitched rooster's crow sounded like someone was seriously reminding him in his ear, Your Highness, it's time to move.

He squeezed his fleshy little fist tightly, hum, after a few days, he will kill all the chickens in Chen Meiren's palace! !

Later I found out that not only did he want to kill them all, but he also wanted to eat them all.
