Chapter 4 Falling to the Ground

By the time Jin Se arrived at Sui'an Yuan, it was already past dinner time and no one was in Sui'an Yuan.

Jinse was standing in the yard, hesitating where to go, when he saw someone walking out of the corner room carrying a hot water bottle.

Seeing Jin Se, a stranger, the man stopped and looked at her, frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here in our yard?".

Jinse hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit: "Eunuch Xiao Anzi ordered me to live here from now on. I don't know which house I should go to settle down in...".

"So it was Xiao Anzi who gave the order?"

The man looked Jinse up and down, and then pointed to the remote west small room: "Here, there is still an empty spot in our yard right here, so you can live there!".

Jinse took a glance and said nothing, just nodded and said thank you, and then walked in.

This small west room is not only far away from the main house, but also not very spacious inside. The windows are broken, the tables and chairs are scattered, and there is a layer of dust everywhere. It is obvious that no one else lives here.

Jinse didn't mind it.

Although this place was shabby and dirty, it was much better than the full-bed rooms she had lived in before.

Jinse simply tidied up and arranged everything, and it was getting late.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark outside, Jinse could only sigh helplessly.

It seems that she won't be able to eat dinner today.

Jinse sat and rested for a while, then went to rummage through the grain storage, rummaged through two packages, and then dug out a few chestnuts, a small bag of sugar and a few pieces of mung bean cake.

I have been saving the mung bean cake for a while. Although it is not easy to spoil in winter, it is not easy to keep it for a long time.

Jinse thought for a moment, took out the mung bean cake, and put the rest back.

The mung bean cake had been left out for a long time, and she choked. So Jinse took the teapot and planned to go to the water room to fill some hot water back.

When she entered the door just now, she had already noticed the location of the water room.

When Jin Se came closer, he bumped into someone coming out carrying a hot water bottle.

The two of them probably didn't notice that there was someone across from them, and they just bumped into each other. If Jinse hadn't reacted quickly, the other person's pot of hot water would have burned her.

"You don't have eyes. Why are you trying to burn me when you bump into me like this?"

Huang Mei was lectured by the manager when she was on duty today, and she was not in a good mood right now.

After finally finishing her work, she was about to grab hot water to soak her feet and rest. Who would have thought that she would bump into someone as soon as she went out and almost burn herself.

Feeling unhappy, Huang Mei started to curse.

Then he looked up and saw Jin Se's unfamiliar face, and he frowned and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Jinse pursed her lips and said, "I moved in today.".

Huang Mei looked suspicious and asked: "Newly moved in? This is Sui'an Yuan, but not everyone can live in it. Who asked you to move in?"

Jinse was too lazy to talk to the other party. The other party had a bad attitude, and Jinse had no intention of trying to please him.

"Eunuch Xiao Anzi told Eunuch Yang to let me move in!"

After saying this in a cold tone, Jinse walked past Huang Mei and entered the water room, obviously too lazy to talk to the other party.

Huang Mei stared, a little angry, but thought of something and didn't reach out to stop Jinse.

She muttered: "Eunuch Yang asked me to move in? Could it be...".

Not knowing what she was thinking of, Huang Mei turned around and followed her into the water room.

After looking up and down at Jinse who was boiling water for a while, Huang Mei asked with a strange look on her face: "Are you the one named Jinse from Lian'an Courtyard?"

Jinse nodded, looking like he didn't want to say anything more.

Huang Mei clicked her tongue twice, looked at Jinse again, and left carrying her hot water bottle.Jinse didn't know what Huangmei meant, but she didn't pay much attention to it. After boiling the hot water, she carried it back to the west small room.

After eating two pieces of mung bean cake with hot water and washing herself with the remaining hot water, Jinse decided to cover herself with a quilt and fall asleep.

After struggling for a long time, she was exhausted.

I slept until daybreak the next day.

Listening to the sounds of people walking and talking outside, Jinse stared at the roof and blinked.

She had another vague dream last night.

In the dream, she seemed to be sitting and talking with the Twelve Princes.

Listening to the twelfth prince telling himself that his little white cat accidentally fell to death in the imperial garden. It was the kitten left to him by his mother-in-law.

Even though he was already awake, Jinse seemed to still be able to feel the loneliness and discomfort the twelfth prince felt when he said this in his dream.

Inexplicably, Jinse felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

After a while, Jinse got up.

After washing up and having breakfast, Jinse tidied up a little and walked out the door.

She left late, and there was no one in Sui'an Courtyard, so Jinse went directly to the front to find the female officer in charge.

Although she hurt her foot, she couldn't stay idle in the house without doing anything.

In the Emperor Zhao Palace, the person in charge of the errands assigned to the maids below was Ms. Liao.

When Ms. Liao saw Jin Se coming over, she asked, "I heard you woke up before. How about it? Is the injury healed, or is it still hurting?"

Jinse shook his head: "The wound only hurts a little, it's not a problem.".

Ms. Liao looked her up and down: "That's good. By the way, what are you doing here today?".

Jinse asked: "I just want to ask, where should I go on duty in the future?".

After being promoted to second class, the errands were different.

When asked this question, Ms. Liao also frowned slightly.

After a while, Ms. Liao said: "The injury on your foot is not completely healed yet. Let's just rest for two days. I will arrange errands for you later!"

Ms. Liao has a good sense of Jinse. After all, she is a hard-working little girl who doesn't talk much and doesn't do much.

It's just that Jinse was promoted twice in just one month, and Officer Liao had to think carefully before deciding where to place her on duty.

Also, the emperor doesn’t know what his attitude is towards this girl Jinse...

Jinse didn't hesitate and thanked Ms. Liao.

Since he was not on duty, Jinse didn't have to push her away. After coming out of Ms. Liao's place, after thinking about it, Jinse went to the big kitchen.

She hadn't eaten for several days, and she only had two snacks in the morning. If she didn't eat something warm, she would starve to death.

Jinse likes to eat, so she often hangs out in the big kitchen.

Because she is well-behaved and smart, and is willing to spend money on food, the people in the big kitchen are also very friendly towards Jinse.

Especially Chef Jiang from the big kitchen looked at Jinse as if he were looking at his granddaughter.

It was already half noon, and the waiters downstairs were all preparing dishes, but Chef Jiang was not very busy.

Seeing Jinse coming over, Chef Jiang laughed and waved to her: "Jinse girl is here? I heard you were awake. How are you? Are your injuries healed? Also, I heard you have been promoted to Second-class palace maid?"

A place like the big kitchen is full of information!
