Zhao Meiru looked at Mingzhen, who was beside Mingyu."This is Xia Mingzhen. She's warm-hearted and kind.”She then pointed at Li Mulan." This is Qian Mingzhu. She's not in good spirits sometimes. I don't think the Empress will like her."”
Liu Xiyu smiled at the two of them and said,"Alright, I've made my decision. There were only the two of them, Xia Mingzhen and Qian Mingzhu.”
Everyone was surprised, not because of Mingzhen, but because of Qian Mingzhu.
Zhao Meiru advised," Consort Consort, please think twice. Qian Mingzhu has only entered the palace for a few days and hasn't memorized the palace rules yet. You should choose someone else." You're pregnant, so you should choose carefully.”
"No, I like the two of them to serve me. I'll leave the others to the masters of the other palaces.”Liu Xiyu insisted," Alright, I want to go back. You two come with me."”
"Yes, Empress." The two of them answered happily.
Liu Xiyu took a few steps and turned around."Oh, that's right, bring your bedding and stay in the side hall of Clear Spring Palace.”
"Yes, Empress." Li Mulan was even more delighted. This way, she wouldn't have to sleep on the floor anymore.
The other palace maids could only watch as they gained power. They were unconvinced but had nothing to say. These people were all chosen by the Empress herself, and there was nothing special about them.
"Empress, be careful." Mingzhen supported Liu Xiyu as she walked." I didn't expect that the Empress would really come to ask for him. I'm so happy. Mingzhu, what do you think?"”She looked at Ming Zhu behind her.
Ming Zhu was quite strong. She carried the bedding and bags of the two of them and said with a smile,"Hehe, that's great. Hehe, I finally don't have to sleep on the ground anymore.”
Liu Xiyu laughed." You two, one is kind-hearted, and the other is unsophisticated. I like people like you." However, don't think about becoming rich and noble by following a master like me.”
"Niangniang can choose not to reward this servant. This servant only hopes to follow a reasonable and gentle master. You are such a master.”Mingzhen said,"It's said that good intentions are rewarded. I helped Mingzhu. I didn't expect God to open his eyes so quickly."”
"You can't say this a second time.”"If others hear it, something will happen," said Liu Xiyu.”
"Yes, yes, this servant knows her mistake." "Be careful of what you say!" Mingzhen said.”
Li Mulan followed them. Although the things on her shoulders were heavy, her footsteps became lighter.
"Ming Zhu, you seem to be quite strong.”"You look like someone who has a foundation in martial arts." My father also practiced martial arts, but I didn't learn a single move.”
"I don't know." Li Mulan said as he walked," I only know that you can climb over the wall when you enter. You can walk very quickly. The view on the roof is better."”
Mingzhen looked around and said in Liu Xiyu's ear,"That's right, Niangniang, Ming Zhu is a capable person. With her protecting you, you can rest assured.”
"Alright, I'll take it as accepting a female guard.”Liu Xiyu smiled gently.
"Haha, Niangniang, you look really good when you smile.”Li Mulan praised.
"Yo, Ming Zhu, so you know how to praise people!”Mingzhen was happy and teased him.
The three of them chatted as they walked. This path seemed to be much easier. Before they reached Clear Spring Palace, Liu Xiyu's expression suddenly changed. Mingzhen wanted to ask when she saw this, but when she looked again, she quickly knelt down."Greetings to the Crown Princess!"
Li Mulan didn't dare to be negligent. He put down his things and knelt down.
Liu Xiyu stood up and saluted,"May the Crown Princess Consort be blessed!"”
"Alright, don't bow anymore. Later on, someone will say something bad about BenGong.”Chu Yiyi suppressed the jealousy in her eyes and said,"Have you been eating the tonics that bengong gave you?”
"Thank you for your kindness, Empress." Liu Xiyu said lightly.
"You should watch your mouth. You should know what to eat and what not to eat.”Chu Yiyi looked at the people behind her." You two palace maids, listen carefully. If anything happens to Secondary Consort Liu, you will lose your heads."”
"Yes, Empress." Mingzhen did not dare to breathe loudly.
Li Mulan was obedient this time. He lowered his head and did not move.
"The crown prince consort is truly grateful for your concern. I felt tired and went back to the palace to rest.”Liu Xiyu found an excuse to leave.
Chu Yiyi said coldly,"Go, watch where you're going. Don't fall."”
"Yes, Empress." After Liu Xiyu bowed, she left with the two servant girls.
"It's best if you fall." Chu Yiyi looked at the back view and said indignantly.
Yu Ying stepped forward and said,"Empress, she is really lucky. Even a fire can't hurt her."”
"It's all your fault for being useless! Idiot!" Chu Yiyi looked at Yu Ying,"You have a lot of ideas. Help BenGong think of other ways."”
"Yes, Niangniang, this servant will definitely do my best.”Yu Ying said.
Seeing that he had left the crown prince consort and the others far behind, Liu Xiyu finally calmed down and walked more easily. Mingzhen looked at her expression and said,"Master, you must have suffered a lot.”
Liu Xiyu almost wanted to cry and said,"Being in the harem, my fate is up to people, not the heavens!"”
"Niangniang, since you have become our master, you are our heaven. If you are unhappy, we will also feel uncomfortable.”"Although Mingzhu is stupid, she's also a good person," said Mingzhen.”
"I know that the two of you have no ill intentions and only kindness, but you have to know that kindness can sometimes cause trouble.”Liu Xiyu said.
Then, the three of them fell silent.
The furnishings in Clear Spring Palace were simple and plain. It did not look like the Empress's palace at all. "Empress, you live in such a room?" Ming Zhen couldn't help but feel strange.”
"Is it different from what you think?”"I'm already used to it. As long as no one comes to find trouble with me, I'm happy to be at ease." However, sigh, forget it. I told you that you would only suffer together.”
Li Mulan hugged the things in her arms." Sister Mingzhen, where are we going to sleep tonight?"”
Liu Xiyu immediately said,"Oh, there's a side hall next to it. You can clean it yourself." My place is simple and crude. I've made you laugh at me.”
"No, Niangniang, don't say that. When you give birth to a prince, you will be a great hero. This servant knows that the crown prince still doesn't have any children.”Ming Zhen suddenly realized something.”
"Why? Are you worried about me?”Liu Xiyu looked at Mingzhen.”
"No, it was my mother who said it. She said that the women in the palace have a hard time, especially those who are pregnant.”
"Shh, Mingzhen, you can't say that.”Liu Xiyu's face tightened and she said,"It seems that you are still too young and ignorant."”
Mingzhen did not speak.
" I'm going to the side hall to take a look." Li Mulan hurried out." Sister Mingzhen, are you coming?"”
"You guys go ahead. I want to sit for a while.”Liu Xiyu said to the two of them,"I don't usually go into this side hall. It's always empty. Now that you're here, it's good that you can take care of each other."”
"That's good. This servant and Ming Zhu will settle down first before serving you.”
Liu Xiyu smiled and sat down.
The side hall wasn't big. It was indeed as Secondary Consort Liu had said. Dust was everywhere. The moment they entered, they smelled a strong musty smell. "Sister Mingzhen, are we staying here tonight?" Li Mulan asked excitedly.”
"Yes, I am. However, they couldn't live in it yet. They had to clean it up first.”Mingzhen saw the cleaning tools on the ground and started to move.
Li Mulan was about to bend down to get it when he suddenly saw something jump out.""Look! There's a rat!"
"Ah! Rat! Where? Where?" Mingzhen jumped up in shock. I'm most afraid of rats!"
Hao Zi ran happily in the hall as if he was not afraid of strangers. " Haha!" Li Mulan laughed when he saw this." It's fun!" Hehe, this is really fun." She wanted to catch it, so she ran after it.
"Is it fun?" Mingzhen was really speechless and let her be.
Hao Zi ran out of the side hall and fled along the wall. Li Mulan's lightness skill allowed her to keep up with it. Seeing that she was about to reach a cave, she picked up a stone and threw it at it. She did not hit the rat but hit the corner of the cave.
With a loud rumble, a large part of the wall collapsed, revealing a huge hole. Li Mulan was stunned, but Haozi had already disappeared.
Xia Mingzhen heard the commotion and ran out to take a look. She was shocked! She sat on the ground and muttered,"It's over, it's over. We're definitely going to die this time!”She broke out in a cold sweat.
Liu Xiyu also heard the noise and walked out. Seeing this situation, she said,"What, what's going on? Why did the wall collapse?"
Li Mulan looked very shy. She giggled and said,""The rat ran away, I didn't catch it.”She still didn't realize that she had caused trouble.
Mingzhen knelt and begged," Please calm down, Empress. This is not Mingzhu's fault. It was just an accident. She was originally catching mice."”
Liu Xiyu was stunned and did not say anything. Even if she did, she would not be the one to make the final decision. Sure enough, a head poked out from the other side of the wall. It was the head of the Imperial Clothing Division, Sun Shan Xiu.
Because of her palace dress, Xia Mingzhen immediately understood the other party's identity and said,"Master, please investigate. This matter really isn't Ming Zhu's fault.”
Sun Shanxiu walked up to Li Mulan, looked her up and down, and said,""I heard that there has been a troublemaker in the palace recently. It can't be you, right?”
Li Mulan didn't understand. He didn't nod or shake his head.
Liu Xiyu was impartial and said,"Forget it. This wall has been in disrepair for a long time. If it's broken, then so be it." Why should the master be angry at an insensible servant girl?”
Sun Shanxiu bowed and said to Liu Xiyu,"Your Ladyship doesn't know, but this wall was built on the year of the Emperor and Empress 'wedding. It symbolizes that love is stronger than gold. Now that there is a big hole in it, it is bound to cause anger.”
" What?!" Only now did Liu Xiyu feel that the situation was serious. She said,"Then what else can we do?"
Sun Shanxiu said," This servant happened to pass by and saw that the wall had fallen. That's why I came over to check. This servant's words carry little weight and will not be biased towards anyone. Whoever is at fault should be punished."”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 03PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
