Because the Yuan family is now a culprit, the Yuan family, who were assigned to various places as slaves, did not receive preferential treatment from any family. He was kind and treated them as ordinary servants. In order to curry favor with the emperor, he even deliberately made things difficult for them. Therefore, within a month, several juniors of the Yuan family who were usually pampered and favored committed suicide.
Yuan Shuyi was so frightened that she hid in the small room and cried in the middle of the night after hearing that her cousin, who had a good relationship with her in the past, committed suicide.
The rules in Prince Xian's mansion are very strict, and there is very little conflict between the servants, so Yuan Shuyi did not face any difficulties after entering the residence. In these eyes, she is no different from other rough servants.
But also because there is no difference, she has an indescribable embarrassment and embarrassment. She can even guess that these subordinates are mocking with expressionless faces, and the high-ranking county masters have become inferior slaves , how ironic, these people finally have something to talk about after a meal, what a good thing
"You newcomers have been in the palace for almost a month. Although you are still clumsy, you can barely use them. Now I will divide you into different rooms, and the stewards of each room will arrange your responsibilities." A steward glanced in front of him. There are more than ten men and women. Except for three of them who have special identities, the others are selected into the palace after strict screening. They are flexible in mind, fast in mouth, and clean, and can barely be assigned to important positions.
As for the three girls of the Yuan family...
The steward remembered what Chief Manager Mu had said, and said without changing his face: "The person who reads the name will report to the steward himself."
Yuan Shuyi was assigned to a steward who specialized in the care of the palace's flowers and plants. The job was not too tiring, and the people's hearts were simple, but it was not easy to enter the backyard. The servants who are qualified to send flowers and plants into the second gate are basically those who have been in the house for more than three years. For someone like Yuan Shuyi, they can't even touch the threshold of the second gate.
After working in Huacao Pavilion for nearly two months, Yuan Shuyi finally gave up the idea of getting closer to King Xian by sending flowers and plants. She became more and more hardworking on the face, but the desire hidden deep in her heart became stronger and stronger.
If she was deliberately made things difficult for her after entering the mansion, she could find an excuse to forcibly meet her cousin, but no one made it difficult for her, and the people around Hua Xiwan didn't even see a shadow, as if she existed. For Hua Xiwan, it was completely unimportant.
She didn't believe that Hua Xiwan was ignorant of the fact that she cared about her cousin, but when she saw that she had entered the palace, she had no reaction at all. Could it be that Hua Shi is so calm
Just when she was worrying about the future, a manager at the top came and ordered a few of them.
"You guys go to the outside yard and take a closer look to see if there are any weeds. In a few days, the princess will be hosting a crab meat feast for the distinguished guests of the Nie An Hou residence and General Lu's residence at the palace, so there must be no mistake," the steward said. Glancing at the person he ordered, he put his hands behind his back and said, "Princess has been married to the palace for a long time. This is the first time she has entertained guests in such a grand manner. If something is inappropriate and makes the guests unhappy, then you Just be punished honestly."
Although Yuan Shuyi lowered her head, she sneered inwardly, what a distinguished guest, Lu's family is Hua Xiwan's grandfather's family, and Hua's family is her maiden's family, but they are all maiden's family.
Although she was a little disapproving of it, deep down she had to admit that with the importance of King Xian to Hua Xiwan, the status of Hua Xiwan's mother's family in the palace would also rise.
The crab meat in autumn is very plump and delicious. After being honored by her servants, Hua Xiwan originally only planned to send some to her family, but Yan Jinqiu said that he had not entertained her family well, so she wanted to borrow it. The name Crab Feast is very close to her family.
Hua Xiwan didn't refuse, although she didn't know if Yan Jinqiu was really close, or if she had no intentions, she all wanted to let her family have more conversations with Yan Jinqiu. Given the current situation in the capital, even if the Hua family and the Lu family wanted to be alone, in the eyes of others, they would still be kings.
Now that the matter has become so heated, she will not simply think that the Hua family and the Lu family have no ideas, so she simply let the two parties meet. As for the result, she will not interfere.
When Yan Jinqiu spoke, the palace was busy all over, Hua Xiwan just took a nap, and there were many more chrysanthemums in the palace, which were very beautiful.
In the list of flowers whose names were ruined in the previous life, chrysanthemum ranked first. It was obviously a symbol of noble and beautiful, but it was twisted into a synonym for not so crab.
"Princess, the chrysanthemums outside are really beautiful, do you want to go and have a look?" Hua Xiwan has always been lazy, and in the afternoon, she likes to lie on the soft couch and doesn't want to move, so her maids always try to do their best. The way to make her move more, finally found a name for viewing flowers today.
Hua Xiwan looked at the sun in the sky and looked at the expectant eyes of a few confidantes. She had no choice but to nod her head and took a group of maids out of the way.
Needless to say, the scenery inside the second gate is beautiful, three steps and one scene. The chrysanthemums placed are also carefully cultivated and very precious varieties, which can reflect the dignity of the palace.
Walking to the second door, Hua Xiwan didn't plan to go out, but saw a familiar figure in the corner beside the second door. She squinted and looked at the man carefully, and when she heard some slight movement outside, she couldn't help but look up into the distance. Yan Jinqiu was walking towards the second gate with two chief attendants, causing the servants on both sides of the road to salute.
Yan Jinqiu was walking towards the inner courtyard with big strides, and when he saw Hua Xiwan standing at the second gate, he hurriedly accelerated his pace, walked to Hua Xiwan in three steps and took two steps, and held her hand very naturally: "Why are you here? standing here?"
"Just now these girls coaxed me to come out to admire some chrysanthemums. I couldn't help them begging for a while, so I came out to have a look. As a result, I came here unknowingly," Hua Xiwan smiled at Yan Jinqiu. "Why are you back so late today, I overcooked the soup I made for you."
"The soup will be more delicious after simmering for a while," Yan Jinqiu said with a smile, "There are a lot of affairs in the DPRK these few days. When I have some free time, I will accompany you to the hot spring in Zhuangzi." After that, he took Hua Xi with him. Wan's hand is ready to go inside.
'Bang! "The sound of the flowerpot falling to the ground came.
Yan Jinqiu turned his head and glanced at the flowerpot that was torn apart and the chrysanthemum smashed by the mud, and said indifferently, "If you don't work hard, you will be punished for one month."
Yuan Shuyi looked at the broken flowerpot in front of her with a gray face, remembering that her cousin just looked at herself with the eyes of a stranger, her face couldn't help but look even more ugly.
The cold eyes from all around her fell on her, and no one spoke to ridicule her, but this silent embarrassment stepped on her self-esteem to the bottom of the mud.
It shouldn't be like this. My cousin is friendly and warm, and she is talented. Even if my cousin doesn't care about her that much, she should at least have a pity or two. How could he look at himself with those eyes, like he was looking at a real servant, and she had nothing to do with him.
The unwillingness in her heart gnawed at her heart, making it impossible for her to face all this calmly.
What's so good about Hua Xiwan, isn't it that she has a more gorgeous face than other women
And no matter how unhappy Yuan Shuyi was, Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu finished their dinner happily, and then they listened to the piano master comfortably.
With the melodious sound of the piano, Yan Jinqiu looked at Hua Xiwan with a smile on his face: "Tomorrow's grandfather's family and half-father-in-law are coming to our mansion, tell me what they are afraid of?"
"In front of the prince, how can they avoid it?" Hua Xiwan curled her lips, "The only thing you need to pay attention to is probably my grandfather's family.
"The Lu family is loyal and good, and his temperament is normal and upright," Yan Jinqiu said with emotion, "If all the officials in the world are as open-minded as the grandfather's family, then it will be the luck of the common people."
Hua Xiwan shook her head: "My lord's words are bad. The grandfather's family's upright temperament is an advantage, but if all officials have this temperament, then it will not be easy to run business."
For example, in places like the Ministry of Household Rites and the Hanlin, if every official acted like her grandfather's family, I'm afraid there will be constant conflicts every day, and the whole department will be uneasy.
Unexpectedly, Hua Xiwan would say such a thing, Yan Jinqiu smiled helplessly, "You are right, I think too simple."
Hua Xiwan smiled, noncommittal. How could someone like Yan Jinqiu not think of this, but he was just trying to elevate his grandfather's family in front of her. But Yan Jinqiu carried it like this, but she didn't want to let Yan Jinqiu carry it all the time.
The two talked about some gossip about the capital, but it was not a big deal, Hua Xiwan suddenly said, "Did you see Yuan Shuyi this afternoon?"
Yan Jinqiu casually exchanged a cup of hot tea for Hua Xiwan: "Why, she doesn't follow the rules?"
"Fortunately," Hua Xiwan looked away slightly, "I just don't think it's easy for her."
Yan Jinqiu curled the corners of his lips, and seemed to be mocking: "She can be assigned to our house, how can she be someone who is incompetent?"
The emperor didn't want to see the deposed queen, and even the Yuan family who was close to the deposed queen hated it, so how could he want Yuan Shuyi to be sent to his house? This is not the emperor's behavior at all.
So the only possibility is that someone pushed Yuan Shuyi from behind, allowing her to enter the palace of King Xian smoothly.
It's a pity that he doesn't like other people's calculations behind his back the most, not to mention that Yuan Shuyi is just a cousin who is not close to him, even his own sister.
