Chapter 169 My Aunt Borrowing the Light

"In that case, the old slave didn't have time to ask..." Lou Ming carefully looked at Jiang Shize's face and saw that his face was dark. He quickly added, "But the old slave has told her to keep quiet..."

Jiang Shize tightened his lips and said nothing.

"Does the emperor want to find the palace man?" Lou Ming became more and more worried, and his voice involuntarily softened a lot. "Although the old slave doesn't know which pavilion she is from, he hurriedly caught a glimpse of a tattoo on her forehead..."

"Hmm?" Jiang Shize looked over.

Lou Ming saw that he looked a little slow and seemed to be a little interested. He hurriedly continued, "That pattern is like a petal, and it will be easy to find her. Emperor, do you want the old slave to send someone to look for it?

"No need!" Jiang Shize said coldly and closed his eyes.

Lou Ming didn't dare to say more when he saw this, but he muttered in his heart. What on earth is the emperor thinking? Was it because the palace man saw him faint and angry that he wanted to shut her up? Or did the palace man help and want to reward her? But no matter the reward or punishment, you have to know who she is. Since you don't want to find her, why did you suddenly mention it?

Sure enough, Tianwei is unpredictable!

Huang Yuejiao got the news from her father-in-law and knew that Hyman had drawn the picture. She hurriedly sent Xiao Ju to send all the things Haiman needed to the raccoon room. There are still ten days before the end of the month, and she is a little anxious.

Hyman has to work during the day, so he can only do it during the time before the noon break and the lights are turned off at night. She lives in the same room with Alan and two other palace maids. It's very inconvenient to do things. She didn't want others to know about it, so she simply moved to Lin Ziqin's room to live with her.

Lin Ziqin has nothing to do all day. She is so idle that she is naturally not happy that she will move here to accompany her, talk to her, and help her kill time.

"This dress is so beautiful. It looks better than any clothes my sister made before. It must look better on me!" Her eyes lingered on the drawing, "Sister, when this dress is ready, can I wear it first? By the way, if you have a chance in the future, why don't you make me a dress exactly like this?"

Haiman was a little upset when she heard this. Speaking of which, she made clothes for many people and a lot of small things such as bags and wrist flowers for Lin Ziqin, but she has never made a dress for her. I always felt that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Unexpectedly, with a thunder on the ground, life would have changed dramatically, and I had no choice but to be separated from her. Now I finally met him again, but I am in the deep palace, and there is no such condition.

"Why do you want to do the same?" She pretended to smile easily and said, "When we leave the palace, I will do something better than this for you. When you get married, I will also design the most beautiful dress in the world to make you the most beautiful bride in the world!"

Hearing the marriage, Lin Ziqin's cheeks flew two blushes. She couldn't help thinking of Mo Zhu, and her eyes slowly faded, "Marry? I don't know if I will have a chance to get married in my life..."

When Hyman saw that she was in a good mood today, he didn't pay much attention to her words. Unexpectedly, he accidentally touched her pain and patted the back of her hand. "Don't worry, there will be a chance!"

"Forget, I don't want so much. Let's hurry up and make clothes. Don't delay Yuejiao's clothes!" Lin Ziqin also knew that she was very depressed some time ago, which made Hyman feel a lot of trouble. Although she still can't let go of her hatred, it's already like this, and she can only take one step.

"Qin Sihua, it's time to turn off the lights. Please rest early!" Aunt's voice came from outside the door. Although she used respectful words, her voice was still cold.

"Oh, I see!" Lin Ziqin hurriedly agreed, blew out the candle, and couldn't help worrying, "It's time to turn off the lights so soon. I didn't do much. Can it be finished by the end of the month?"

Hyman is also a little worried that she has too little free time, which adds up to less than an hour every day. It's really impossible to go on like this.

"Well, if my female red practices more carefully, she can help my sister." Lin Ziqin sighed, "It's too late to practice now!"

"It's okay, there will always be a way!" Hyman smiled and said, "Go to bed quickly."

Near the birthday of Empress Dowager Shu, all places were busy, and more clothes were sent to the laundry room than usual. Almost all the maids of honor were called out to wash things, and even Jing's aunt also reduced the number of patrols and started to do things with everyone. The lunch break was reduced by half, and the work ended much later than usual. It is often the time to turn off the lights after dinner.

Hyman is busy doing needles and threads for a while, and the progress is like a snail crawling. If it goes on like this, not to mention the end of the month, he can't finish this dress by the third year of junior high school. She was worried, but Lin Ziqin was anxious but couldn't help.

There are still three days before the end of the month. Huang Yuejiao couldn't calm down and sent Xiao Ju to ask. Hyman is a trustworthy person. She promised that she must do other people's things to feel at ease. Xiaoju's question made her even more angry.

After the work, I didn't care about eating, so I picked up the needle and thread. As soon as I sewed a few needles, the light-out ringed again.

"What can I do?" When Lin Ziqin saw that she was on fire, she was also anxious, "Why don't we find something to cover the light and do it secretly?"

"No, what if a fire is caused? Even if it doesn't cause a fire and is found by the patrol guards, something big will happen!" Hyman frowned. In the past, when she went to school, she read novels with a flashlight in the quilt. There was no flashlight here. Even if there was, she couldn't do anything in the quilt.

Lin Ziqin also knew that this was not a way, "Yes, what should I do?"

"I'll go out and look for it!" Hyman stood up.

"Ah?" Lin Ziqin was a little surprised, "What are you going out to look for?"

"I came back late that day. I remember that there were stone lanterns on the road near here. I don't know if they will be on all night." Hyman said and took something and went out.

Lin Ziqin hurriedly caught up with him, "I'll go with you!"

The two took out of the room, carefully walked out of the yard of the raccoon room, and glanced around. It was dark everywhere, and there was no light. They couldn't help but be disappointed.

Think about it, there should be thousands of lanterns in the huge palace. If it is lit all night, I don't know how much money will be wasted, let alone in a place like a raccoon room.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The two were sighing at each other, and a cold question came from behind them. They were shocked. Looking back, they saw that it was not someone else, but Jing's aunt.

Jingji also recognized them and was a little surprised, "Qin Sihuan, what are you doing?"

"Ah, we are looking for stone lanterns..." Lin Ziqin said nervously.

"Looking for a stone lantern?" Jinggu looked at them suspiciously.

Hyman knows that he can't hide it from his aunt, and there is no need to hide it from her. "Auntie, I have to finish some needlework before next month. Do you know where the stone lanterns are lit?"

"What? Do you want to make a needle and thread for money? Jinggu's tone was a little unhappy.

Lin Ziqin hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, my sister promised to make a dress for others, but she has been so busy these days that she has no free time at all. As soon as she finished her work, it's time to turn off the lights, so she wants to find a bright place..."

"I know where the stone lanterns are lit, but it's useless to tell you." Jinggu said this to Hyman, "If you leave the place after turning off the lights and are caught by the patrolling soldiers, you will be regarded as an assassin. You want to die without being stopped, but I don't want to be involved by you. Stop messing around and go back to bed!"

"Yes!" Hyman promised to come back to the room with Lin Ziqin. Although Jing's words were not pleasant, they were all true. She was really reckless in a hurry before she thought of looking for a stone lantern. It seems that there is no other way but to pray that there will not be so much work in the next few days and give her some free time to make clothes.

When she prayed, the gods such as God and God probably became collectively deaf. The next day, the clothes sent to the raccoon room were not less, but more.

Not only Haiman was sad, but all the people in the washing room complained bitterly. However, the work still needs to be done. I was busy until the lights were about to go out to finish all the work.

Haiman couldn't take a breath, so he got up and went straight to the raccoon room.

"Wait a minute!" Jing aunt shouted at her coldly.

"Auntie, what can I do for you?" Hyman stopped, but his heart had already flown into the room.

"Take your things and come with me!" Jinggu said coldly.

Hyman looked blank, "Ah?"

"Aren't you going to do needlework? Hurry up and get it. You can't get out after turning off the lights!"

Haiman was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Jing's aunt wanted to help her. She was overjoyed. She hurriedly agreed, went into the room to take everything, and followed Jinggu out of the raccoon room.

"Aunt, where are we going?" She walked behind Jing's aunt for a long time and couldn't help asking.

"You will know when you arrive!" Jinggu's tone is still cold.

However, Hyman felt that she was much more amiable than usual. It turned out that this aunt was a cold and warm-hearted person.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he came to near a palace gate, turned into a small yard, and entered a room without a door.

A gray-haired old eunuch was sitting next to a stove humming a little song. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up and smiled, "Yo, auntie, why are you here? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you had forgotten me!"

"Hmm, you can't forget this virtue." Aunt Jing snorted and pulled Hyman, "I brought this child to borrow it from you!"
