Chapter 367

The female officer laughed along with her the whole time, as if she was very afraid of Taosu, she didn't even dare to raise her head.

"Miss, don't worry, these newly selected palace maids have been screened layer by layer. They are innocent, and nothing that the Queen Mother is worried about will happen." The female officer bowed, her neck seemed to be broken, Tao Su Zhengyan never gave her eyes, and walked slowly among the dozens of palace maids, his sharp eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one. When Taosu walked in front of Qing Li, Qing Li tried his best to show A natural timid look came.

Fortunately, Taosu just glanced at her lightly, without much doubt, and it was not until Taosu left that Qingli was completely relieved.

When Taosu walked away, the female officer followed suit, clutching her chest, straightened her waist, and once again resumed her domineering attitude towards them, the maidservants.

"Did you see that? The one just now is the secretary in charge of the empress dowager's palace, so don't offend him!" the female official ordered.

Everyone replied in unison: "Slaves have made a note, thank you for your reminder, aunt!"

The female officer nodded in satisfaction, touched the night pearl in her cuff, and began to distribute errands to everyone with a smile.

Now that the Emperor Zhou Palace is young and unmarried, he naturally has no concubine. The errands that can be assigned are nothing more than sweeping everywhere. Gong Yuan did rough work, and when it was assigned to Qing Li, the female officer hesitated for a moment, her voice became soft.

"Your name is...Qing Li?" The female officer looked at the roster in her hand, Qing Li nodded, "Yes, the servant's name is Qing Li!"

"Very good, you can go to Beiyuan to serve Concubine Zhao up close!" The female officer drew a pen on the roster, and Qing Li stood up and thanked, "Thank you, aunt!"

"Sensible child, go!" Qingli was assigned to Beiyuan, and a young eunuch led her there immediately, but the rest of the people were a little dissatisfied when they saw it, and a bold girl asked directly: "Auntie, why is she Can go to Beiyuan to serve, but we have to stay in various places to do rough work?"

The female officer ignored her, "There are so many reasons, since you have entered this palace gate, you can't help yourself, go back!"

Beiyuan is the most secluded place in the Zhou Palace, different from the splendor and luxury of other palaces.

Since the first emperor Xiao Fan succeeded to the throne, his health has always been poor, so naturally he has no intention of entering the harem, so that besides the Queen Mother Zhong, there is only one Concubine Zhao. Concubine Zhao is Princess Baoyu, she moved to Beiyuan at her own request, only wishing to stay away from disputes.

Qing Li carefully pushed aside the fence and walked in. The entire Beiyuan was empty, with flowers and plants in sight, and few people moved around.

Among the flowers, I faintly saw a petite little girl happily chasing butterflies. No one was looking after her, but she seemed to be enjoying herself.

"Little butterfly, little butterfly, don't run, little butterfly wait for me..." The little girl chased after her, her feet were unsteady, and she fell down after a somersault. Qing Li hurried over, but couldn't help her , the little girl's smiling face was directly planted on the ground. Fortunately, the ground is full of soft soil for planting flowers, otherwise the little girl's face might burst and bleed.

The little girl who fell on the ground squirmed twice, Qing Li knelt down to help her, but she waved her hand and said, "No, I'll get up by myself!" The little girl turned over and sat up, seeing this skillful movement , It seems that I have wrestled a lot since I was a child.

Qing Li let out a "pu chi" laugh, the little girl was glued to Nima all over her face, only showing a pair of eyes rolling around, her pink and white dress was also stained with wet soil, she looked very funny.

"Eh?" The little girl stared at Qing Li for a while: "Sister, are you just assigned... to take over from Nanny Chen?"

Qing Li nodded: "Yes, the aunt in front asked me to serve in Beiyuan."

"Oh." The little girl rolled over twice and got up, dragged Qing Li and walked inside, shouting as she walked, "Mother, mother, a new sister is here to accompany us!"

Qing Li was dragged straight into the room, the room was empty, the decoration was very simple, fortunately there were flowers and plants, it didn't look so shabby.

Xu heard the little girl's call, and a young woman came out from the room. The woman looked about twenty years old, but she had some vicissitudes that did not match her age.

Seeing the little girl's dirty appearance, the woman couldn't help being a little annoyed: "Wen Yu, the dress you just changed in the morning, why did you make it like this again?"

The little girl who was called "Wen Yu" pursed her lips, knowing that her mother was angry, she hastily admitted her mistake and said: "Mother, Wen Yu knew it was wrong, Wen Yu will never dare to make trouble and dirty her dress again!"

Looking at the mother and daughter, Qing Li suddenly realized that this was probably the Concubine Zhao that the little eunuch on the way told her about, and she was also the "master" she was going to serve during this time.

Qing Li took two steps back, knelt down and kowtowed, and said respectfully: "My maidservant Qing Li, kowtow to the concubine and Princess Wenyu."

Concubine Zhao smiled lightly: "This Beiyuan, there are only us, mother and daughter, so how can we still enjoy such vain rituals."

"Yes—" Qing Li got up, glanced at the muddy Princess Wen Yu, and led her down to freshen up with interest.

The Beiyuan is very big, and there are empty rooms everywhere, but there is no one in each room. As Concubine Zhao said, there are only her and Princess Wenyu, mother and daughter in the whole Beiyuan. Garden flowers and plants.

While cleaning Princess Wen Yu, Qing Li couldn't help asking: "Princess, are these flowers and plants outside planted by the concubine herself?"

When Qing Li passed by the Imperial Garden, he had also seen the precious flowers and plants in the Zhou Palace, which were not of the same grade as the flowers and plants in the Beiyuan Garden, so there was such a bold guess. Wen Yu twisted her neck and replied: "Yes, Isn’t my mother very powerful? Many, many little butterflies like the flowers and plants planted by my mother!”

"Yeah, these flowers and plants are very beautiful. They decorate the whole garden. It's so interesting!" Qing Li combed Princess Wen Yu's hair. The hairy Qing Li said: "Sister, you must have just entered the palace, right?"

Qing Li nodded, "Your maidservant can't be called 'sister' by the princess, but the princess is right, the maidservant is indeed a newcomer to the palace, so she was assigned to serve the princess and the concubine!"

"Then it's no wonder..." Princess Wen Yu smacked her mouth twice, "No wonder I see my sister is different from other court ladies, she is much gentler than them all!"

"Are they okay?" Qing Li asked casually.

"Of course it's not good!" Speaking of this, Princess Wen Yu seemed to have endless complaints, "Since Madam Chen passed away, several maids have come to serve in succession. They either complained that it was too deserted here, or Complaining that being alone is too lonely, and then trying to go out one by one, they don't like it here..." Princess Wenyu looked back at Qingli with some frustration, "Sister...do you also dislike it like they do? Wen Yu doesn't like mother, doesn't she like this place?"

"Ah?" Qing Li was asked a little abruptly, "What nonsense did the princess say, how could the servants not like the princess, the princess is so cute and well-behaved, anyone would like it!"

"Really?" Princess Wen Yu tugged at her braid, sat back upright again, and looked at her reflection in the mirror, "Am I really that lovable?"

"Of course!" Qing Li carefully pinned the hairpin on Princess Wen Yu's head, "The princess and the concubine are very similar, she is a little beauty!"

"Sister, you speak so nicely!" After Qing Li finished brushing her hair, Princess Wen Yu jumped off the stool, pulled Qing Li's sleeves and pulled them out, "Sister, it's not scary at all here. It's not difficult to serve my mother, it's just...it seems a little deserted, but...but it's not so deserted, I'll take you to meet my good friend!"

"Ah?" Qing Li was taken aback by this little princess, and Princess Wen Yu couldn't help but drag Qing Li to a small wooden house at the end of the flowers, "Look, this is Dabai's home!" Qing Li Looking in the direction Wen Yu pointed, isn't the cabin just a simple kennel?
It is not difficult to guess that the big white that Wen Yu said must be a big white dog!

Wen Yu stepped forward and pulled open the door of the cabin to poke his head inside, but he didn't see Dabai's figure, sighed a little disappointed, and said, "It seems that it has gone out to play, but don't worry, It will definitely come back tonight!"

Qing Li hadn't figured out the situation, and was dragged to the main house by Princess Wen Yu again. The child seemed to have been alone for a long time, and he didn't want to leave Qing Li for a moment, and he always dragged Qing Li wherever he went.

In the main room, Concubine Zhao was holding a pair of embroidery to pass the time. Wen Yu walked in on tiptoe, and turned her head to silence Qing Li. Qing Li followed behind Wen Yu. Sitting down opposite her, Concubine Zhao looked up at them, did not speak, and continued to embroider.

"What is mother embroidering? Are you going to make new clothes for Wen Yu?" Wen Yu held her chin and looked at Concubine Zhao expectantly. Concubine Zhao stroked the pattern, "Yeah, you are so naughty, you made new clothes." The clothes were scratched by you again, so I can only make new ones for you."

Princess Wen Yu pouted, "Mother is the best, Wen Yu likes mother the most."

Looking at the mother and daughter, Qing Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion, at least she is a concubine, and Wen Yu is the first emperor's daughter, so she can be regarded as a princess, how could this mother and daughter end up in such a situation?Not only does he live in a remote place, but he doesn't even have a waiter, and he has to spend his daily food and clothing by himself. This is too unreasonable. Could it be that the Queen Mother Zhong in the Zhou Palace is such a mean person?Are you too stingy to give Concubine Zhao a little bit of a good life?

Concubine Zhao stretched out her hand to straighten Princess Wen Yu's collar, her face full of pampering.

"I've been crazy all day, are you hungry?" Princess Zhao asked.
