Chapter 8 Dilemma

The little girl cried even more fiercely when she heard this, and a series of tears were like pearls falling on the palm of a bamboo, instantly turning into a pool of warm water.

"I don't leave, and I have no relatives anymore. There is no one to rely on but you. Master, I beg you to take me wherever you go in the future!" Xiaoyou's parents and brother were killed because she angered Concubine Lan.

Speaking of this matter, Qingzhu is also responsible. If she hadn't entrusted Xiaoyou to send letters on her behalf, she would not have been able to implicate her family and leave them forever.

"Hey!" Qingzhu sighed and said impatiently, "I can't get rid of your little tail anymore!"

Xiaoyou immediately burst into tears and smiled, staring at his big red eyes and showing a sweet smile.

"What is this?" Qingzhu changed the topic, pointed to the big pottery bowl beside him, and said doubtfully.

In front of you is a small ceramic black bowl. The mouth of the bowl is large and the enamel is rough. You can tell at a glance that it is not something precious. There are seven or eight golden oranges in the bowl, small and big, and there is a hole in the bottom. At this moment, it is fragrant.

After wiping the tear marks on the powdered cheeks, Xiaoyou picked up one from the bowl and handed it to Qingzhu. "Of course, it's the nest head, Madam, you can taste it. This has just come out of the pot, and the maidservant finally got a few."

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear how you got it?" Qingzhu wondered that Concubine Mei had ordered only thin porridge and pickles every day. Where did this kind of food come from?

Xiaoyou was a little shy. She lowered her head shyly and muttered in a low voice, "Well, since my mother asked, I can't hide it from you. These are... they were given to me by Zhao Shan."

"Zhao Shan? That stunned head? He's not interested in you, is he?" His thumb was put on the eyes at the bottom of the nest, and his voice was clear, and he smiled skillfully, "Then I can't eat it. In case this is a token of love for you, isn't it a waste of his mind?"

"What did you say?" Xiaoyou's cheeks turned red into apples, and her head bent lower. "I have nothing to do with him. Don't talk nonsense! Eat quickly. You are now in your body and eat those unnutritious things all year round. How can the fetus in your belly grow healthily?

Hearing her words, Qingzhu's fragile heart was warm and warm. In times of adversity, even if someone gives her a drop of water and a grain of rice, it will be remembered for a lifetime.

I taste the sweet corn flour in my mouth, and my heart is even more like falling into a honeypot, with rosy eyes and glittering.

"Eat slowly, don't chop. I'll keep all the things Zhao Shan gave me for you later." Xiaoyou helped her carefully smooth her back.

"That silly boy is quite infatuated," Qingzhu joked, "I dare to help you secretly in this kind of bad luck."

"Hmm!" Xiaoyou nodded with a straight look, "I can see the truth in adversity. After this battle, the slave maidservant also understands that it's really human-warming. In the past, when you were beautiful, my companions around me now saw me turn around far away, for fear of getting a trace of bad luck and making Mei noble concubine taboo. Only Zhao Shan always halved his food and secretly accumulated it for his maidservant. I am not a heartless villain. When there is a chance in the future, I will... I will repay him."

"How to repay? Do you want to marry each other?" Qingzhu's eyes are full of water, and his words are full of laughter.

"Mother, you... you still bullied me at this time! I don't care about you..."

Hahaha, the two masters and servants laughed happily and passed through the window lattice to the outside of the house and circled the beam for three days.

At the door, a tall woman embroidered with red plums on the skirt stood with a cold air. Her fingers strangled the embroidered handkerchief in her palm and said angrily, "Come on, tomorrow I will transfer the maid Xiaoyou to the kitchen to work. Lv Qingzhu, I'd like to see if you can still be so happy alone!"

"Yes, I will obey the decree of the noble concubine." The little Quanzi beside him replied respectfully in a low voice, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Concubine Mei doesn't seem to be relieved, "There is also an environment that pregnant women need to clean, and the palace should also be cleaned up. You will throw away all the useless things in this room, so as not stain my eyes." After saying that, she sneered and walked away. Humph! The surname is Lu, and the emperor is far away, and there will be many means to deal with you in the future!

Looking at Meifei's gradually disappearing figure, Qingzhu's expression condensed and restrained the smile on her lips. I won't let you see jokes. If you want to see the pain and sadness of my life, I just can't get what you want!

The next day, it was just dawn. Xiaoyou ran back to the room with a pale face, still holding the black porcelain bowl full of nests, with an anxious expression.

"Mother, from now on, I will go to the dining room to work. I can't serve you. This is ten nests. At least it can satisfy my hunger. You can hide quietly and don't let others see it." Xiaoyou said that he covered the thing with an embroidered handkerchief and secretly stuffed it under the bed.

While talking, there was a noisy noise outside. Then Xiao Quanzi and several mother-in-laws did not report and directly pushed the door in.

"Speaking to your mother!" Xiao Quanzi was a little ashamed and didn't even dare to look at the two tense women in the room.

"The whole father-in-law is polite. In the early morning, the father-in-law led the brigade. What's the matter with such a great momentum?"

"Cough!" Xiaoquanzi coughed twice and was a little embarrassed. "At the sacred order of the noble concubine, I came to help you pick up the house." To be honest, he did not want to offend Qingzhu. What's more, Qin Zheng had issued an order not to harass Qianfei for no reason before he went on the expedition, but he would not be subject to the foreign military order. At this time, Mei Fei was dominant in the harem and specially ordered him to supervise him in person early in the morning. What can a eunuch who listens orders?

"The flowing water is not rotten, and the house should have been returned to this room long ago. Then I will thank my father-in-law first. Later, you can help me say thank Sister Mei for her kindness. The kindness of the water should be repaid. Over time, my sister will definitely repay her!"

How smart Xiao Quanzi is. At present, he understands the voice of Qingzhu's strings and doesn't say much. He said to the attendants beside him, "What are you doing? Hurry up and do it! In this way, I won't delay my mother's rest."

Before the words fell, more than a dozen slaves started to take action and remove everything that could be seen in the room, such as tables, chairs and benches, pots, pots and pans, and even quilts. In a blink of an eye, all the large room was emptied, and it was really empty!

"Father-in-law, do you want to move this out together!" A sharp-eyed woman pointed to a dirty porcelain bowl with a gap in the corner and asked.

This blue and white porcelain was still given when Lanfei punished Xiaoyou. Qingzhu was given it when he pleaded for her, and Xiaoyou kept it for a thought.

Xiao Quanzi glanced at the woman angrily, "I know you are from the noble concubine's room, but what's the use of a broken bowl? Leave it for the lady to adjust the color when painting!"

"What about that?" The woman was extremely pale. She didn't notice the anger hidden at the bottom of Xiao Quanzi's eyes. She pointed to a small needle and thread nape in Qingzhu** and then asked, "There are several children's clothes, needles and threads, and a pair of scissors. The mother accidentally hurt herself."

Xiao Quanzi saw that Qingzhu's face was not good and hurriedly stopped him. "What's the use of taking away that shabby thing? Let's save it for my mother to relieve her boredom in her spare time!"

The mother-in-law wanted to say something, but when she saw Xiaoquan's cold eyes, she didn't talk much. She and a group of servants packed up the things in their hands and left carefully.

"Mother, I have not had a father or mother since I was a child, and no one loves me. I live in the palace as a child. People like us who have been stabbed have never thought of being smooth and soaring. They just want to settle down and live a stable life. In some things, slaves are sufficient but weak, and slaves also have the hardships of slaves. If there is any offense in the future, please take care of it. After saying this, Xiao Quanzi led Xiaoyou and sighed away.

The little girl wanted to say goodbye to Qingzhu again, but the outsider urged her tightly and could only leave with a sad face.

Qingzhu was isolated in the empty spacious room, and a bitter smile raised the corners of his lips, "I want to live and die, but I must live well."

The rest of the days became more and more quiet, and the palace where Qingzhu lived was quiet and there was no voice. She still lacks food and clothing every day, and she doesn't even have a mouthful of water. There is a well in the palace, but her legs and feet are inconvenient and she can't do heavy work, let alone buckets of water.

A few days later, as soon as Qingzhu fell asleep, he heard a steady and heavy footsteps outside the door. As soon as I heard it, I knew that the man was a man. How can a man visit in the middle of the night in this dilemma? Thinking of this, I was completely sleepy and hairy, and I was on twelve points of vigilance.

She leaned sideways, squinted, pretended to be asleep, and hugged the jade pillow with both hands so that she could resist a little when she was in danger.

The door was gently pushed open, and a 17- or 18-year-old man bowed his waist and tiptoed. He seemed to carry a big package on his back and came in carefully.

The room was too dark. People looked around and didn't even see a wooden table or wooden stool in the dark, so they took out a flint from his arms, lit a not-sized candle brought with him after a few impacts, and untied the burden on his back and placed it at the head of the bed of Qingzhu. Then he returned to the door and brought a large shabby wooden basin full of water. He walked slowly for fear of making a little noise, and finally placed the basin of water firmly by the bedside of Qingzhu.

Deeply looking at the woman who seemed to be sleeping, the man sighed and turned to leave.

"Who asked you to come here?" The woman on the couch spoke coldly and suddenly sat up.

When the man heard this sentence, he broke out in a cold sweat and fell to the ground with a "plop". "Mother, it's so late, haven't you slept yet?"

From the time the man entered the room to lighting the candlelight, Qingzhu had already seen his face, but he was curious that he did not have any intersection with the visitor. What on earth was he sneaky in the middle of the night?
