She looked at me for a moment and didn't say anything. She found another barrel and said, "Wait a moment. I'll go find two ropes."
She found me a sturdy wooden stick. "Go, be careful. Don't break the barrel. There aren't many things here."
"Yes, Mammy, I will be careful." I knew she was beginning to accept me.
It was the first time I had ever carried water, so I lifted it up and tested it. It was so heavy, I could barely stand while I was squatting there.
On the grass a little further ahead, two palace maids were laughing. "You can't even pick up the water, look."
"Yeah, her appearance is so ugly."
I took a deep breath, used the back of my neck, and picked it up, swaying a little, so that I gasped for breath, my feet wobbled, and I gritted my teeth and walked step by step toward the courtyard.
On the way, I did not know how many times I took a break and splashed quite a bit of water. Finally, I brought the water back and placed it in the courtyard door. Gently opening the door, I carried the bucket in and poured the water into the vat.
To my surprise, carrying water was also so difficult. The pain in the back of my neck made me unable to straighten my head.
I picked up the broom and was about to sweep through it when Senior Servant Chen came out of the house with two warm buns. "Eat before you start working."
I looked into her eyes and she looked away.
I took it. "Thank you, mama."
She left without saying anything. Consort Ning slept very late today, but didn't come out. When Senior Servant Chen was about to boil some medicine, she let me go in and wait upon her.
She sat at the edge of the table with her shoulders hanging down, looking at herself in the bronze mirror. Her beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow.
Her face was so thin, only the size of a palm, and I pitied her. I stood behind her, holding a comb, carefully combing her long hair. I didn't dare pull on her hair, afraid that even if she lost a single strand, it would be too painful.
The smell of the medicine in this room was so strong that I couldn't stand it any longer. I could only endure it.
"Chu Xue, am I old?" She lowered her eyes and turned the mirror away from the reflection.
"Esteemed wangfei isn't old."
"Are you trying to please me?" She became a bit sharper.
I shook my head. "Esteemed wangfei, I don't know where the old one is defined. Actually, the heart is the most important thing. As long as the heart is young, it will make you feel young."
She tilted her head and looked at me curiously. "How many books have you read?"
I knew that she wouldn't be sharp out of curiosity, so I smiled gently. "Esteemed Ning Concubine, Chu Xue likes to read books since she was young. Chu Xue didn't know how much it was. She always looked when she liked it, but she didn't count it all."
She also laughed softly, "You little girl, I can tell with a glance that you have talent in writing. Can you write?"
"Yes, it's just that Chu Xue's calligraphy is not good." I spoke seriously. I was only interested in painting, and I was inferior in terms of words.
"After that, I'll teach you to write." She was excited, as if she had found something to do.
I swallowed. "I don't dare to do it in the first snow."
She was a little unhappy and frowned. "You don't want to learn from me, or do you look down on my writing? Senior Servant Chen, Senior Servant Chen." She raised her voice to shout, but it wasn't loud, it was still soft and gentle.
Chen mama, who was brewing medicine outside, wiped her hands as she walked in. "Esteemed Empress Ning, what are your orders?"
"Go and take out my sticker and show it to her. My hands can read books. In the past, if others wanted to learn, wouldn't I teach them?"
Senior Servant Chen winked at me, and I hastily nodded. "Empress, it is my fortune to be able to learn from you."
She once again laughed innocently, "That's good. I like obedient palace ladies. In the past, the emperor was lovable when he watched me write. It's a Spring Festival couplet, he wrote notes. No one in the palace writes better than me." She smiled proudly.
My nose hurts. Esteemed Empress Ning only lives in my memories. She's always been lingering in the past. She doesn't want to see the present. When it comes to the emperor, her face was slightly red. I can't guess just how old Esteemed Empress Ning is, but I just feel like she's my little sister.
I will love her, I will pity her, I will follow her, I will honor her.
Luckily, she did not talk about this topic too much, and asked again: "Chu Xue, my Heavenly Jewels have not been watered yet, they are almost all washed clean, and I can't let them fall, so I need to be gentle, and drip some water on them with my fingertips."
"Empress, they have been washed clean. They are comfortably basking in the sun."
She suddenly bent over the table, a little displeased. "Senior Servant Chen didn't even let me go out to look at them. I really missed them."
Was this acting coquettishly towards me? I was stunned.
She just looked at Chen mama like that, her pitiful gaze. Her tears were rising higher and higher, as if they were about to fall off.
Chen mama was helpless. "My esteemed Ning Concubine, ah, we'll wait until we're better before going out to take a look, okay?"
She shook her head. "If I can't see them, I won't be able to sleep. I won't eat." She started to cough again. It frightened Chen mama so much that her face paled. She quickly followed her words and gave me a face, telling me to quickly think of a solution.
I came to my senses and said, "Empress, can I show you the snow painting?"
"You didn't draw well." She rejected it with a word.
I promise, it's exactly the same, very beautiful Heavenly Jewels, string after string, purple, as beautiful as droplets, dipped in water, the sun is shining, and there's even light shining on it, the furry leaves on it dance with the wind, and you can also smell the faint fragrance, and draw two butterflies playing on it in pairs, okay?
In the palace, the palace maids didn't even have the right to write. Since I dared to say it out loud, I wasn't afraid. I didn't want to show that I had the talent to do so. I just wanted to appease her.
Ning Xiaoyao quieted down and looked at me with a pair of deer-like eyes. "Really?"
"En, it's true. Chu Xue will not lie to the Empress." There was something that choked my breath and made me feel terrible.
She smiled, her smile even brighter than that summer flower. "Senior Servant Chen, you heard me. You're not allowed to lie to Chu Xue. Hurry and bring out a brush and ink. I want to watch her draw." She was excited.
Senior Servant Chen let out a sigh of relief and went to get a brush and ink. She glanced at it, as if asking if she could draw.
I nodded, and she smiled, an old face, warm.
I draw very slowly, Ning Fei is like a child, sitting at the side and watching me draw. Chen mama would occasionally stick her head in, and I could still see her face and sigh in relief.
After drawing for a long time, Ning Fei looked a little tired and kept yawning.
"Esteemed Ning Xiaoyao, can I help you sleep for a bit?" I asked carefully.
She shook her head and said: "I want to see the Heavenly Jewels." He opened his tired eyes wide.
I put down the pen. "Esteemed Ning should first sleep for a while. When Esteemed Ning wakes up, put a very beautiful Heavenly Jewel on the table for her to see." I coaxed her.
She looked at Chen mama and asked, "Is that so?"
"That's right, Esteemed Ning. Come, take some medicine first and then sleep. She won't dare to lie to esteemed wangfei."
She obeyed, and drank gently from a large bowl of thick, sour, bitter medicine.
Not long after, she fell asleep.
I heaved a sigh of relief. 'Concubine Ning, there must be some mental problems as well. It seems crazy, yet it's not. It's not like I'm an idiot, nor is it.
Senior Servant Chen looked at me. "Chu Xue, it's almost time to eat lunch. We're used to it, so you should go to the palace gate and wait for lunch. You should come back after that. In the afternoon, finish painting for the Empress!"
"Yes, Chen mama." I put the pen away.
It turns out that the lunch in the Cold Palace was something that I couldn't be bothered to send in, so I had to be carried in. It turns out that the lunch in the Cold Palace wasn't something that I wanted to send in, it had to be carried in.
Fortunately, Esteemed Empress Ning had slept for a long time in the afternoon. She still hadn't woken up when I finished painting the heavenly beads.
Senior Servant Chen told me that Imperial Concubine Ning had a hemoptysis and couldn't be provoked.
I lamented for her. No matter how pampered a woman is, once she becomes ill, she will have no choice but to enter the cold palace.
When I got back to the fall chrysanthemum house, I listened to the men from the laundry room without batting an eyelid. It was strange to hear that an elderly father-in-law had come to the laundry room to ask for a woman named Qingqing, and this news had excited the women of the laundry room. Pear Fragrance had fallen asleep from exhaustion. She had finally learned how to endure.
Qingqing, tell that man to find that damned Qingqing. He will never find her.
Who would still dare to brazenly look for Qing Qing like this? I'm not curious.
However, I met him after that. The man who frightened me in the middle of the night slept soundly. While I was still in a daze, the lights suddenly lit up in the autumn chrysanthemum garden. The sound of the whip cutting through the wind resounded in the sparring room.
I slept lightly, and when the lights were lit I woke up, and I saw a few of the mama coming in with whips, and the palace maid coming down mercilessly, and I was sleeping on my left side, and on my right was Lianchang, and I was sleeping on my right side, and when the mama rushed in, I looked to my right without thinking, and straightening her hand, I quickly pretended to be asleep, and lay down on my side.
I heard the sound of whips cutting through the wind, and I was afraid that if they landed on me, they would burn.
As the wind blew, the people beside him almost jumped up as they screamed. What kind of mournful sound was that? I shut my eyes tight, not daring to look. I know, it's Lianqiu Lake.
With all the lights on, no one dared to move an inch. There was only a whimper, and the sound of it could not help but leak out of their mouths.
Riko was trembling as she shrank towards me. I was scared as well, until she shouted, "Little hooves, get up!"
Therefore, everyone stood up, lined up in a row, and shrank back, afraid that the thick whip would cut their skin. Every pair of eyes watched with fear, like pairs and groups of pitiful lambs.
She found me a sturdy wooden stick. "Go, be careful. Don't break the barrel. There aren't many things here."
"Yes, Mammy, I will be careful." I knew she was beginning to accept me.
It was the first time I had ever carried water, so I lifted it up and tested it. It was so heavy, I could barely stand while I was squatting there.
