"Slave Song Huiming, I have seen the concubine."
In the main hall of Changxing Palace where Concubine Kang lived, Hui Ming raised his hands together, and then clung to the ground together with his body in a proper manner.
Concubine Kang is an old woman who is approaching years of age, with silver hair neatly pulled up in a bun behind her head, the folds on her face hang down layer by layer, and the roots of the Buddha tree are placed.
Zheng Geguang was the eunuch in chief of the palaces around him, and he bowed slightly at the moment, explaining from the side: "Ms. Huiming was originally the palace maid of the Qiande Palace, but she made a mistake at the Winter Solstice Palace Banquet. brought to you."
This is actually very unreasonable. The palace maid who made a mistake in front of the imperial court was lightly returned to Ye Ting to be assigned a new hard labor assignment, and the more serious one was escorted to the Shen Xing Division. I have never seen it directly transferred to the next palace. What's more, it was Eunuch Zheng who made a trip in person and sent it over politely.
Having lived to this age in the palace, and having no children all her life, for her, there are few things in this world that can tug at her heartstrings, even for a palace servant like Huiming who has made it clear that there is another way , Hearing this greeting, he just raised his eyes slightly, his face also showed indifferent indifference, and said, "Get up."
Hui Ming got up and stood there obediently, and after waiting for a while, he heard Concubine Kang on the couch speak again in a hurry: "Since she is the person in front of the royal family, she will follow Banping and wait by my side. "
Banping is a maid with a long face standing behind Concubine Kang. She is the most personal person the concubine can use today. Asking Huiming to follow Banping, it almost gives her the dignity of being a close-fitting maid. It can be said that , Except for the female official with the rank, there is no better job than this in the entire Changxing Palace.
Knowing that Eunuch Su's face was there, Hui Ming was not very surprised. Just as he was about to thank him according to the rules, Concubine Kang continued: "I am so quiet, you are fine, and you don't have to. Always watch."
Clearly leading the post of a personal maid, but telling her that she doesn't have to be guarded all the time? Then what kind of person is this serving by the master's side? Isn't it white-collar workers who eat dry rice every month
Hui Ming hesitated for a while, but in an instant, he also understood something from the dissatisfaction and alert on the faces of Concubine Kang and the maid Banping beside him, and bowed his head and obeyed.
Seeing this, Concubine Kang nodded and told them to back out. Hui Ming stood under the steps outside the palace gate and thanked Eunuch Zheng who had specially sent her over. Eunuch Zheng was well-informed and already knew it. The identities of Hui Ming and Director Su were also full of smiles, and politely handed over their farewells.
Turning around, Banping next to the concubine also came out, and showed her a smile that only floated on her face: "Where's your luggage? You came in such a hurry, I was always the only one by the concubine's side. We have few staff in Changxing Palace, and we haven't had time to clean up your place yet."
Hui Ming is also an old man who has accumulated years in this palace. How can he not hear the other party's intentional or unintentional reminder to suppress him
Inexplicably, a palace maid who made a mistake in front of the imperial court and did not know the details would not be happy if she was a master. If you could give her the name of a big palace maid, it was thanks to Concubine Kang that she was young and unwilling to do too much trouble. She was very polite, pointing at the Changxing Palace and sincerely welcoming and loving her, which is indeed unlikely.
However, she came to Changxing Palace for the sake of His Highness the Seventh Highness, and did not intend to compete with Banping for the position of the maid of honor beside Concubine Kang. Trouble, it just so happens that I have a relationship with the aunt Wang in our Jingfang Zhai. It is enough to have a place for her during the day, and there is no need to prepare the residence. I will get a sign in a few days and go out at night. The palace went to live in Jingxiang."
Although Jingxiang has already left the Longwu Gate, it is still in the imperial city, and ordinary people are not allowed to come and go at will. Report it to the palace, state the reason, take out the palace token, call the forbidden army gate at Longwumen to find out the identity, and make sure that there is no entrainment, then it can be regarded as passable inside and out.
But generally speaking, that's just the case. Today, it's not like the eunuchs of the previous dynasty occupy half of the court, and a random eunuch in the sixteenth bureau and twenty-four divisions can buy a house outside. It's time for Hunu to serve as a maid, and even to marry a wife and take concubines.
In this dynasty, counting from the beginning to the bottom, it is only by the side of His Majesty and Empress Dowagers in all dynasties that there have been so few virtuous and respected, or the chief steward and the eldest aunt who have made great contributions to the rescue. Only met such an honor. If they were able to live in a mansion, even after they left the palace at an old age, they could still be buried in the official mansion if they had no relatives to take care of them.
And with Huiming's age and qualifications, no matter what, he can't belong to such an ancestor. Banping's eyes widened and she just stared at her blankly. That appearance was more like a shock than admiration. Suspected that Huiming was bragging, he was embarrassed to expose it all at once.
It was also a coincidence that before Hui Ming's words were finished, Yuanbao led two small inner supervisors from outside the door.
"Auntie An." Since Hui Ming had almost crossed the Ming Road with Su Jin at this moment, Yuan Bao's face was more attentive than before: "The villain has brought your luggage, Master is afraid of you Aggrieved, I ordered to add more quilt skins, and I brought two baskets of silver charcoal, you can use them, and I will send them to you in two days after I use them up!"
This is true. Including Yuanbao, the two little inner supervisors behind him are also big bags and small bags, and they are full of hands.
Although Huiming had no intention of showing off, since it was Eunuch Su's concern, she would not refuse, and she complied immediately, just turned to Ban Ping Fu Yi Fu, and asked politely, "Is there any other orders for my sister? "
Looking at such a style, Banping's secretive, careful thought that she wants to take on a senior's stance in front of Hui Ming, how can she dare to show it again? Naturally, she just shook her head again and again and told her to settle it by herself.
Hui Ming didn't put on airs, and still politely said that if the concubine had an errand here, just give her orders, she would not dare to delay, so she called Yuanbao and went to Jingfang Zhai together.
There are few palace servants in Jingfangzhai, and it is deserted. The advantage is that the place is very spacious. Tian Guiconcubine lives in the main house of Jingfangzhai, and it is easy to leave the room and ignore his son. And the call is not allowed to appear in front of her eyes, so for the convenience of taking care of her, the Seventh Highness has also been guarding the second room and taking care of her since she was a child.
Now, although His Royal Highness is getting older, firstly, no one pays attention in Jingfangzhai, so he doesn't need to be very strict. Second, his situation is different from that of ordinary masters. Therefore, Mammy Wang lives in Shahe like this now. Inside, there is only a carved door between Xiji, where His Highness the Seventh lives in daily life.
Because it was so close, he was afraid that the entry and exit of strangers would disturb the Seventh Highness, so Hui Ming confessed his sin, and just told Yuanbao to put things down and wait outside.
Yuanbao naturally didn't care, and after giving away the things, he only passed on a sentence for Eunuch Su, saying that the master came to see aunt a little later, so he hurried away without even a cup of hot tea.
Huiming sent the ingots away, and then he moved in all the bedding and charcoal he brought in, and packed them up. She couldn't live here for a few days. These things were more for her than for her. Mammy Wang can sleep warmly, so that she can take care of her body as soon as possible.
When I waited and heard that there was no movement outside, Madam Wang brought His Highness the Seventh Highness out of the room. Seeing her pile of things, she naturally understood in her heart. When she was about to say something, Hui Ming had already He put down his things and smiled: "Last time, my mother said that I can't repay you. Look, didn't I come to rely on you so soon?"
A few days ago, Hui Ming deliberately came over in advance and explained his situation to Mammy Wang, so now he looked at her and smiled close: "You can come here, I said yesterday that you will be quiet in the future. Fang Zhai is in, the little highness is only happy until midnight!"
Hearing this, Hui Ming lowered his head, and said to His Highness with a smile: "In the future, His Highness will also need more advice."
The Seventh Highness blinked and lowered his head slightly, but did not speak.
Both Hui Ming and Wang Ma knew that the seventh highness was like this, and it was not surprising. After a while, when the two of them had already packed up their things together, the little highness walked over slowly, reaching out to Hui. Something was placed on the small case beside Ming with a "ding", and then without waiting for Hui Ming to react, he turned around and went back to the next room.
Hui Ming quickly reached out and grabbed the little thing that was about to fall to the ground in his hand. He looked at it, but it was a small round and translucent sandalwood bead.
This bead, Huiming, looked very familiar. After a pause, he immediately remembered that it was one of the beads in the string of beads that His Highness counted in his hand every day!
Mammy Wang, who was on the side, also clearly saw it: "Even this baby is willing to give you a piece. It seems that Your Highness really has a fate with you."
After returning to his senses, Hui Ming was also moved a bit. Sandalwood beads are not a valuable thing, but for the little highness, they are the most important treasures. What's more important is that Huiming naturally knows that the seventh highness is everything. Once you get used to it, you can feel at ease. Originally, there were eighty-one Buddha strings in her hands. She took one off and turned it into eighty. With the temperament of the little highness, I am afraid that it will be particularly uncomfortable. It takes a while to get used to it.
Even so, the little highness is willing to share one, for her, it is really more precious than gold jade beads.
Hui Ming smiled, knowing the temper of His Highness the Seventh, since he had avoided it now, it would not be good to get closer, so he carefully put the sandalwood beads in his purse, and then began to talk to Wang Ma. Come.
When I arrived at a new place, I had to be familiar with a lot of things to worry about. After Huiming set up the things, he went to Banping to ask about Concubine Kang's daily habits, and time passed by in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker outside, Hui Ming had already looked out of the house several times as if he was restless.
Yuan Bao just said that Master would come over at dinner time, and she still remembered it in her heart.
Hui Ming actually knew what Eunuch Su had come to find her for.
His Majesty Long En gave Eunuch Su a reward for the house in Jingxiang, but he has not yet decided where it will be. Although Huiming has already said that she does not need to be taken into account, Eunuch Su still insisted on asking for the map, saying that it would be today. Come here and discuss it with her before making a decision.
Of course, Huiming wouldn't care about the house that Eunuch Su chose, and she didn't even care that Eunuch Su would ruin her reputation in the future when Eunuch Su recognized it in front of the royal family.
But Eunuch Su paid so much attention to her opinion, but he made Hui Ming feel ashamed, but also added a bit of indescribable joy.
Seeing that the sky was completely dark outside, Hui Ming thought for a while, then got up and went out to greet him, until he reached the gate of Changxing Palace, and he had never seen Eunuch Su.
However, Hui Ming was not in a hurry. He just found a clean place and stood there. After waiting for a while, he looked bored at the mist she exhaled. Happily connected, he went out for a few mouthfuls of white mist.
Until someone passed by, Hui Ming quickly stopped and regained his seriousness and calmness, nodded slightly with the palace maid who was somewhat familiar, and passed by.
It wasn't until the passing palace maid walked away that Hui Ming breathed a sigh of relief, regained his senses, and realized that he was laughing at people in their tens of years, and he was not a child. Why is he so naive today...
Hui Ming secretly shook his head with some embarrassment, and found an explanation for his behavior in his heart: Yes, she is indeed too happy to be able to live with Eunuch Su. After all, what she has been thinking about these days is not how to get close to Eunuch Su, to trust Eunuch Su, so that she can persuade Eunuch Su not to be involved in the matter of King Rui's forced palace, and to escape safely in the chaos of Zhongyuan a year later
If she could live with Eunuch Su in the name of "eating each other" like this, what would she worry about? If she couldn't gain Eunuch Su's trust and save Eunuch Su's life, then she really lived her life in vain!
With this thought in mind, Hui Ming only blamed his current expectations and pleasures on being one step closer to saving Eunuch Su's life. At the same time, he didn't dare to admit it was normal, and suppressed another faint thought that floated in his heart. —
It seems that it is not just that.
It seemed... just being able to live with Eunuch Su was enough to make her happy.
