Yun Si slept on Da Hongxi's bed and spent her first night in the palace in fear.
The palace garden is deep. At night, the palace is scary big and quiet.
The bed in the bedroom is also very large, much larger than the bed in Yun Si's boudoir. She was not used to the emptiness. If possible, Yun Si would really like all four maids to come to the bed and sleep with her.
But for their safety, Yun Si would not let them enter her bedroom.
All night long, Yun Si couldn't sleep soundly. I took a few naps half asleep and watched the sky outside the window light up little by little.
It seems that His Majesty will not come.
Yun Si breathed a sigh of relief, and the faint morning light made her feel more at ease. After a day and night of tossing, Yun Si, who was sleepy and tired, relaxed and finally fell asleep on the bed.
I don't know how long it took, but Yun Si woke up to the fragrance.
She took a few deep breaths in her sleep, and her stomach growled. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the maid placing the meals in the food box on the table one by one.
Yun Si slowly sat up and suddenly felt hungry.
All in all, she had not eaten again since the brown sugar eggs yesterday morning. I didn't eat anything for a whole day and night. Under the extreme stress and fear, I didn't even feel hungry.
Now that I smell the fragrance, I feel like I'm going to faint from hunger.
"Hurry... help me serve a bowl of porridge." Yun Si pointed at the porridge on the table and said.
The hot porridge fell into her thirsty stomach, and Yun Si breathed a sigh of relief.
In the fresh shrimp and scallop porridge, the delicious prawns are decapitated and cut into uniformly sized particles. Together with the sweet and slightly salty scallops, they give the porridge a delicious taste with a strong rice aroma.
With every spoonful, there are fresh shrimps, scallops and blooming rice porridge.
Yun Si drank less than half of the bowl in one breath, then stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a delicate and small longan bun.
When you take a bite, you will see that the fluffy dough is filled with rich juices and the common pork and green onion stuffing, which Yun Si often eats in the prime minister's house.
But I don’t know why, but the taste of the food cooked by the palace cook is better than that of the prime minister’s house. It is a delicacy that Yun Si has never tasted.
Next, Yun Si tasted the side dishes on the table one by one, each with its own unique taste.
After eating, Yun Si remembered and asked, "Where did you go to pick up the food?"
Jin Ming replied: "We didn't pick it up, it was delivered from the dining room."
Jin Ming and the others had just entered the palace and didn't even know which way the dining room door opened. They originally wanted to ask for directions. Unexpectedly, when the time came, the maid in the dining room took the initiative to deliver breakfast and told Jin Ming and them the way to the dining room.
"The people in the kitchen also said that if we don't have enough manpower, they can send every meal over."
Jin Ming glanced at Yun Si's face: "The people in the dining room... are very enthusiastic."
In fact, he is very flattering.
A wry smile escaped Yun Si's lips.
The people in the dining room probably regarded her as a noble concubine as a high official.
But only she knows that since entering the palace, His Majesty has never given her a good look, and he might order her head to be chopped off next time...
"There is no need to ask the dining room to deliver it. You can discuss who will pick it up from the dining room in the future."
After Yun Si finished speaking, she saw the four maids looking at her with hesitation, "What?"
Jin Ming said: "There are more than ten maids and eunuchs in Liuyun Palace, waiting to pay homage to the girl."
According to the rules of the palace, work such as fetching meals was not done by the four personal maids.
Yun Si was startled: "So many people?"
But then I thought about it, Liuyun Palace is so big, and it requires a lot of people to clean it daily, which is naturally more than the servants she has in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yun Si cheered up: "Help me dress up, and then call the maids and eunuchs over to see me."
She always wants to see clearly what kind of people serve in her palace.
Yun Si met people in the main hall where the meeting was held. More than ten maids and eunuchs were all extremely respectful when facing her.
Yun Si asked them to talk about their skills in turn. Some of the palace maids could tailor clothes, some could comb their hair, and some could prepare skin-nourishing balms...
Some eunuchs are good at raising flowers, some are good at raising fish, some are good at raising birds...
What surprised Yun Si the most was that a petite, childish-looking little palace maid said to her, "My servant is good at asking for information."
"Oh?" Yun Si asked dubiously, "What news can you find out?"
The little palace maid's name was Douzi. When she heard Yun Si's question, she blinked and told all the news she knew.
"Ever since the imperial concubine entered the palace yesterday, everyone in the palace has paid close attention to what is going on in Liuyun Palace."
"Xu Meiren went to the Queen Mother's Palace to ask the Queen Mother to come forward and reprimand Her Majesty. She did not want Your Majesty to make you a noble concubine, but she was kicked out by the Queen Mother."
"Mrs. Ling has been in charge of the affairs of the harem for three years. Yesterday, after hearing that His Majesty made you a noble concubine, she took out the palace seal she was in charge of. I want to give the palace seal to you, concubine, today."
Yun Si didn't expect Douzi to be so well-informed, so she looked at her with a little more admiration, pulled out a hairpin from her head and gave it to her.
Douzi received the hairpin and was greatly encouraged.
She glanced at Yun Si, then plucked up the courage to continue: "Today morning, many officials sent memorials... to advise His Majesty..."
"Your Majesty kicked out all the officials at Shangshu."
Yun Si nodded. Needless to say, she could imagine how many people scolded His Majesty and how many people scolded her.
"Then my father..." Yun Si wanted to ask but didn't dare.
Douzi lowered his head in shame: "My servant is incompetent and has not heard about Prime Minister Yun."
Yun Si shook her head: "You have done a good job."
Yun Si is most worried about her father and mother outside the palace.
I wonder how my father and mother are doing?
It would be great if father and mother could deliver a message to the palace...
Yun Si didn't expect that her longing would come true that day.
After noon, Yun Si received the letter sent to the palace from her father. She couldn't wait to open it with trembling hands!
The next moment, Yun Si saw only eight words written on the snow-white letter paper——
"Life or death is a small matter, but lack of integrity is a big deal."
Yun Si froze, unable to believe what she saw.
The characters painted with iron and silver hooks on the paper are clearly my father's handwriting.
The copybooks that Yun Si copied from childhood to adulthood were all written by her father himself. She would never mistake his handwriting!
Yun Si's tears fell in large drops, falling on the letter paper and spreading the ink on it.
From childhood to adulthood, her father has always loved her and regarded her as the apple of his eye...
Actually let her die?
