Chapter 126 Not a eunuch but a princess
Unexpectedly, the chief eunuch in the queen's palace came to pick someone up and took Shu Xingmi and Fulai away.
The young man with the appearance of water onion was just right for the empress. The chief eunuch understood it very well, so he picked the two best-looking ones without further ado. Regardless of whether he could do things, it would be good to put them in the middle palace to make the empress happy.
Shu Xingmi and Fulai went to the side hall of the central palace with the small salute rolls on their backs. They met the empress that day, so they had to learn the etiquette and daily duties in the palace.
Due to the small number of eunuchs in the palace, each eunuch has multiple jobs. Although Shu Xingmi is just a low-rank servant in the middle palace with a very meager monthly salary, he has a lot of things to do every day, such as cleaning the palace, Cleaning is done by him, washing clothes and curtains is also part of his job, when the small kitchen is short of people, he is called to arrange dishes, and he is also on duty at night, and the queen also raises three The rabbit has two puppies and a cat. He also does chores such as feeding the rabbits, cats, and walking the dog. After serving the animals, the flowers in the yard are still waiting to be watered with their faces up and their mouths open.
In short, Shu Xingmi is a brick, and he can be moved wherever it is needed, and it is common for the empress to lend him to others when there is a shortage of people.
After finishing the day's work, Shu Xingmi and Fulai passed out on the bed after washing, and fell asleep after touching the pillow.
The two eunuchs in the same room laughed at the two of them while playing chess at night: "What about it? Tired to such a virtue."
"Hey, newcomers are like this, you will get used to it after a few days, come and go."
When getting up the next day, the snow has to be cleared, the middle palace is not small, the eunuchs and maids have to clean up the courtyard and the road as much as possible before the queen gets up, if the queen falls, they will cut off their heads.
The winter clothes could barely keep out the cold, but the cold wind kept pouring into the sleeves and trousers. Shu Xingmi and Fulai's hands were numb from the cold, and their noses and cheeks were red.
After the queen got up, she washed up for a while, and came out of the door with the rabbit in her arms. The eunuch and maid hurriedly stopped what they were doing to greet the queen.
The queen was carrying the hand stove, which was covered with a gold embroidered cotton kerchief, and inside the veil was a little white rabbit, curled up in the queen's arms like a ball of snow, with its eyes closed securely, and the queen's fingers and chest were warm. It's so fragrant, it's so comfortable that I'm about to fall asleep.
Shu Xingmi judged from the queen's beauty that the prince must be very good-looking. With such a mother, it would be difficult for his son to be ugly.
"Pingshen, it's getting cold, so hurry up and enter the house after sweeping. Also, the Inner Palace has brought in two more boxes of good charcoal, which will be delivered to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Everyone agreed, and the queen boarded the sedan chair to pay her respects to the queen mother.
Holding the broom, Fulai stared blankly at the back of the queen going away, and said to himself: "I wish I could become a rabbit in my next life. Being a human is better than being a rabbit."
At least rabbits don’t need to be frozen, and the vegetables they eat are fresher and more varied than what they eat. They don’t do anything every day, just lie on their stomachs and let people touch them.
The little lady sweeping the snow nearby laughed when she heard this: "What if you are caught and made into braised rabbit heads?"
"It's so unlucky!" Fulai frowned.
"Aren't you unlucky enough to be sent to the palace? Haha, we poor people are so poor, and we will be relieved sooner." The little eunuch shrugged.
"Okay, don't gossiping anymore," the chief eunuch raised his hand, looked at Shu Xingmi and Fulai, and handed them the queen's warrant: "As you wish, Fulai, go to the Bureau of Internal Affairs to get the charcoal and send it to the East Palace. Go now."
Shu Xingmi thought for a while, then said: "Master Qian, the little one and Fulai were cleansed yesterday, and the wounds haven't healed yet. I'm afraid they're walking slowly, which will waste time."
Fu Lai was so frightened that he tugged at the corner of Shu Xingmi's clothes, motioning him not to speak.
Shu Xingmi really didn't want to be lazy. From a medical point of view, he must rest and recuperate after the major surgery last night.
"Oh," the chief eunuch's eyes were calm: "Who didn't come here like this? You are more delicate? We all have things to do, and it's New Year's Eve, and some are busy. Of course, this kind of manual work is for newcomers to do. , Why, I can’t order you anymore?”
"Don't dare."
The two of them had no choice but to put down their brooms and head for the Internal Affairs Bureau.
"Simply bold."
The leader eunuch muttered, he patted Xue Mozi on his cuffs disdainfully, thinking to himself, eunuchs are the inferior people among the inferior people, how can they have the right to recuperate?Even if he died of illness, it was just a straw mat thrown into a mass grave. It was a good fortune to be able to enter the palace, and he was picky about his work. .
"Brother, do you remember where the Inner Palace Bureau and the Eastern Palace are located? I, I seem to have forgotten..." Fulai was a bit road-crazy, and the palace was like a big maze. Sometimes it is as helpless as an ant falling in a mosquito coil.
"Let me take a look." Shu Xingmi took out the map of the palace from his pocket, and identified the direction through the sun, "We should go south first, then north."
"...Ah?" Fulai leaned over to look at the map: "The Inner Palace Bureau is at the southernmost point, and the Eastern Palace is at the back. The journey is so far..."
It is equivalent to going through most of the palace to get the charcoal, and then go through most of the palace to send it to the East Palace. Shu Xingmi understands why the other eunuchs don't want to go, this job is too tiring.
"Let's go, go get charcoal." There is no way, this is what I do.
The two of them walked for half an hour before arriving at the Neifu Bureau. Shu Xingmi's wound had long since opened, and the gauze wrapped between his legs was already a little wet, and it was frozen by the cold wind, sticking to his skin , The pain was so painful that every step he took was painful.
After checking the warrant at the Bureau of Internal Affairs, two large boxes of good charcoal were brought out from the storeroom, and Shu Xingmi and Fulai walked back with one box each.
The charcoal box is very thick and heavy to carry. When Fulai lifted the box, he couldn’t even walk. He managed to take two steps, but accidentally slipped and fell to the ground due to the residual snow. The box was also broken and turned into a plum blossom shape Black charcoal spilled all over the place.
"Oops..." Fulai knelt on the ground and picked up pieces of charcoal back into the alley. Shu Xingmi also put down the box to help him pick up charcoal. He suddenly found that there was a dark spot in the middle of Fulai's pants, and the gauze couldn't stop the bleeding.
"Go back and change your medicine first." Shu Xingmi's hands were all black, he stacked Fulai's box of charcoal with his own, and took out the map from his arms and stuffed it into Fulai's hand: "Look at the map, You should be able to find it, but if you can’t find it, ask the maid and eunuch.”
Feeling warm in Fulai's heart, he shook his head, stood up with support, patted the white snow and black charcoal on his body: "I'm okay, let's move the charcoal there first."
Shu Xingmi bent down and picked up two boxes of charcoal, and smiled at Fulai: "Look, it's easy for me to carry it, you can go back."
"Brother, wait here, I'll go back and ask someone to help you move." Fulai was still not at ease.
"It's okay, I'll deliver it if I have the time, don't worry." Shu Xingmi wanted to touch Fulai's head, but seeing his dirty hands, he decided to forget it.
"Then I really went back?"
"How can you be so wordy, kid..." Shu Xingmi smiled and waved: "Hurry up."
When Shu Xingmi moved the two boxes of charcoal to the entrance of the East Palace, his hands and feet were frozen. When he put the wooden box on the ground, he couldn't straighten his fingers. Le's.
After interrogation, the eunuch guarding the gate of the East Palace let him in. The eunuch in charge entered the two boxes of charcoal into the book, and instructed someone to put the charcoal into the warehouse of the East Palace.
The prince was building a snowman with a group of maids and eunuchs in the yard. He had already made four or five snowmen. When he saw the gate opened, he stood up and walked to the gate. He asked as he walked, "Who is here?"
It's your husband!
Baby, do you know how much I paid to see you...
Shu Xingmi's face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with excitement.
The prince wears a big cloak embroidered with green silver and lotus, a crown inlaid with dragon jewels, and red brocade boots with clouds on the uppers.
Sure enough, as Shu Xingmi expected, the crown prince perfectly inherited the queen's beauty genes, and he is a handsome man. Pei Yu's appearance is actually the same in every life, with only minor differences. The biggest feature of his appearance is the straight and beautiful bridge of the nose. , The mouth alone is not the best look, but it is not the same when combined.
"His Royal Highness, Jin'an." Shu Xingmi bowed and saluted, feeling a tingling pain between his legs.
"Get up." When the prince saw this little servant, he felt a familiar and friendly feeling in his heart for some reason.
It feels like a lover from a previous life.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"You moved here alone?" The prince looked at the two boxes of charcoal, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this young man was not big in stature, but he was quite strong. It was far enough from the Neifu Bureau to the East Palace.
"Return to Your Highness, the younger one moved here." I was almost exhausted.
"What's your name? Which palace do you work in?" The prince looked at him strangely, as if he was new here.
"The young one is called Shunyi, and works in the empress's palace."
The prince noticed that the servant's face seemed a little pale and he didn't feel well. Is he sick?Ah, it must have been too cold, and another person was carrying two boxes of charcoal, freezing.
"It just so happens that I have something to return to my mother, so come here, and I will give it to you."
"Yes." Shu Xingmi prayed in his heart, don't make any more big objects, they really can't be moved...
The crown prince brought Shu Xingmi to his study room. As soon as Shu Xingmi entered the room, his bones softened. The temperature was so touching, it was as warm as three air conditioners were turned on at the same time, and it was full of the fragrance of books and ink. .
"You sit down, I still need to look for it." The prince bowed his head and flipped through various books on the desk.
"Sit?" Shu Xingmi was dumbfounded, no one had ever said the word "sit" to him since he entered the palace.
Isn't this some kind of palace test?
"What's wrong?" The prince glanced at the soft and fluffy warm mat: "There is no one there, sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness, but according to the palace rules... you are not allowed to sit."
The prince blinked: "Could it be that the palace rules say that you can disobey the palace's orders?"
"No, no, no, no." Shu Xingmi immediately walked to the warming mat, took off his shoes and socks, and sat obediently.
