The habit that has been like a day for decades has long been integrated into the flesh and blood of the palace people. The bangzi outside the fourth watch just knocked, and Hui Ming, who was lying on the head of the kang, opened his eyes immediately.
Today is her turn on duty.
In the winter, it was bright and late, and the room was dark and heart-shattering. Qiu Ya, who was beside him, seemed to have noticed the movement of the person next to him. He opened his eyes slightly and glanced at her. After saying hello, he turned over and fell asleep in a daze.
There are not many chances for the maid to sleep in. Huiming didn't disturb her when he saw this. He went down to the kang in the dark and poured the hot water that had been warmed on the brazier last night. He walked out of the house wearing the Tianqing jacket he had just received last month.
The snow has stopped, only the crescent moon is still falling obliquely in the air, and the faint clear light reflects the accumulated yingying white snow. Ming Bian stepped into the cold light of the ground and entered the Qiande Hall from the side door.
It's time for the palace people to change their shifts. Apart from His Majesty's bedroom, there is a quiet darkness separated by layers of curtains. In the west palace, candles have already been lit and they are busy with their errands. Fragmented steps, flowing water-like comings and goings, the huge Qiande Hall, but never made a single sound, there are occasional people who want to talk to each other, and they are all simple and clear words pressed in the throat. , more is just a wink, then they all know what they should do.
Hui Ming stood at the door and was stunned for a moment. When he looked up, he saw Aunt Wei, who was in charge of Qiande Hall, beckoning to her. When Hui Ming walked closer, he lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty woke up twice last night, perhaps to meet someone. You should prepare all the hair tie strings. When you are still in a bad mood, pick up comfortable and lightweight ones, but don't bother with that burden."
Aunt Wei is the aunt in charge of the imperial front. She was born as a female clerk. She has a gentle temperament, but she is careful and cautious in handling things. She has almost never made a mistake. Although she is a little older now and is no longer a clerk, she is still the most convenient messenger by the imperial driver's side. Her Majesty's personal maid, His Majesty promised her a career as a harem noble two years earlier. If it wasn't for His Majesty's inseparable service from such a caring person, she would have already become a serious master.
For this reason, Aunt Wei's status in the Qiande Palace is very detached. Although she still bears the name of a palace servant, she has the air of a master, and ignores the trivial matters. Focusing on His Majesty's food, clothing, housing and transportation, none of the dozen or so female ministers in front of the imperial family asked her to instruct her.
And Hui Ming, who has gone through the road of Su Gonggongmen, is the top priority of Aunt Wei's attention. Not to mention that when she first came here, she had been working in the imperial palace for two years and she was very familiar with the errands. The aunt also told her several times every day, as if she could not be worse without the guidance and help of others.
Remembering this, Huiming didn't say anything, just bowed his knees silently in response, then went to the compartment in the apse, took out a small copper key to open the gilded wooden box, and searched for one according to Aunt Wei's instructions. The pure gold satin headband is wrapped around the head. This is a fine material for the tribute to Yunzhou. The top is only embroidered with a few cloud patterns with feather thread. Concentric warm jade buckle.
The jade button was no bigger than a copper coin, and it was warm jade, so it wasn't too much of a hindrance to say it, but Huiming looked at the jade button for a while, but simply took the needle and thread and took it apart.
It's not that Huiming is troubled, but she suddenly remembered that when she took this hairband out in her last life and waited, Aunt Wei saw it and said that the jade buckle would slap your majesty, and ordered it in front of everyone. She figured it out, so she almost missed the time to serve.
At that time, Hui Ming was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack to get in. He didn't even dare to look up at people for several days after that, but now that I think about it, it was just another river in a river. An ordinary little wave, if she hadn't seen this jade button at this moment, she probably wouldn't have remembered it at all.
But now that he has remembered it, Huiming will naturally not wait for the same thing to do it again. After removing the jade buckle, he will take a closer look at the things he takes out. After confirming that there is nothing wrong, he will take it. The landscape wooden lacquer plate filled with ornaments stood firmly outside the bedroom.
In comparison, Si Ji was considered to be a light worker, and she was also the smallest in the imperial women's division. After Hui Ming stood outside the tent and waited for two more cups of tea, he saw that the two palace maids in the robe had also brought it. Lacquer plates came one after another.
These two are biological sisters, both with round faces and curvy eyebrows, fresh and lovable. Originally, the palace was sent by the palace to supervise the sleeping quarters, but His Majesty has not been good to young girls in recent years. Although they are also watery, they look like a group. Being childish, he simply called for a different job, doing his job first and getting a few years older.
The maids in the imperial court were all named after tea. Hui Ming still remembered that the two sisters were crying bitterly and Yu Gan when they were young, but they were just the same size. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they couldn't tell who was older and who was younger. .
Fortunately, His Majesty was still lying inside, and the maids were not qualified to say hello, talk or laugh, and it was not a hindrance to Hui Ming if he couldn't tell the names. Nodding their heads, they said hello to each other.
If it were an ordinary time, it would be the time for His Majesty to get up now, but now that the dragon's weight has not recovered, it is uncertain when it will be. Come in, just wait outside with a porcelain pot and tea cup, so that you can keep the hot water ready for cash.
People like them have practiced their standing skills since childhood. Hui Ming stood there, recalling the appearance and names of the remaining palace maids. As the light in the hall lit up little by little, finally came the sound from the tent. He heard the delighted voice of the palace maid Yun Hua: "Your Majesty is awake?"
Accompanied by this movement, the entire Qiande Hall seemed to be awakened by something, and a few small inmates entered the door to put away the bed curtains, and the whole hall instantly lit up, and Aunt Wei came out to say hello, The waitresses who were guarding the outside came into the dragon bed one after another with warm water and tea that had been rinsed and washed, and Aunt Wei served and washed them herself.
Hui Ming and the two sisters Kukou Yugan silently took a few steps back. Although His Majesty was awake, he was still ill, and he still needed to be seen by an imperial doctor. Clothes and accessories still have to be put away.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the concubine Xian, who was serving the disease in the side hall, to blow into the inner hall like a gust of wind. After another cup of tea, Eunuch Su brought in, and two imperial physicians with gray beards came in outside. Carrying the medicine box, he respectfully knelt outside the tent and greeted him.
Su Jin apparently also saw Hui Ming on the side, the two eyes met, still he nodded slightly, then immediately turned around and entered the imperial front, and after a few words, he invited the imperial physician to enter.
After a while, the maids who had just held the water and held the handkerchief also withdrew, standing quietly behind Huiming and the others, and then Aunt Wei, who served closely by His Majesty's side, came out to confirm the number of Huimings. The clothes and accessories prepared seemed to have eased a lot, and he had already summoned his foreign ministers in spirit.
Hui Ming stood steadily, allowing Aunt Wei to check the same way, originally thought there would be nothing wrong, but when the other party saw the jade button she removed, she frowned slightly and said worriedly: "You removed it. If you are careful about this concentric buckle, what you know is that you are careful, but if you ask those who don't know to read it, you will be careless, and even use the unbuttoned headband on your Majesty, isn't it our fault again?"
"Serving by His Majesty's side, it's good to be willing to be attentive. I'm afraid that if you use it, you will be smart." Aunt Wei's words are still soft and gentle as always, but the content of what she said is really shocking. The more I heard, the more shocked.
The last time, she took off the jade buckle without any trouble. Aunt Wei said in public that she was not careful enough in her work. This time, she did it according to Aunt Wei's intention, but she fell into a self-consciousness and intention to show off
Hui Ming's complexion did not change, but the palm of his hand holding the lacquer plate was slightly forceful, and he didn't even need to raise his head. He had clearly noticed the displeased glances of the court ladies around him, even the one just now. The two sisters, Kukou Yugan, both consciously or unintentionally gave in, making her a little further away.
Yes, the palace servants in the front of the imperial palace are always one of a hundred, and the most difficult place to go is. She relied on "eat each other" with Eunuch Su, and it's just one step to the sky. Being implicated, which one can be really happy? Anxiety and alienation is simply the most normal reaction.
In this way, she has been isolated by everyone intentionally or unintentionally in the Qiande Hall in her previous life. Apart from her own thoughts and unpleasant behavior, how much is it that others are targeting and provoking with ulterior motives
After a new life, if you still can't detect Aunt Wei's slanderous heart and intentionally slander her, Huiming has really been a poor man for so many years in the imperial court, and he has sensed that it is wrong, and then he will act after Aunt Wei. After a good life in his heart, Hui Ming's eyes became more and more heavy.
Although she also noticed Aunt Wei's anxiety and dissatisfaction with her in her previous life, as a female official in front of the imperial palace, it was indeed normal to dislike her, a palace maid who relied on "contradictory food" to reach the imperial palace. Because of the chance of rebirth, Huiming would never have thought of a future as Aunt Wei, and would secretly slander her as Song Huiming, a little palace maid.
If it wasn't for the wrong time, Hui Ming would be a little flattered.
Many thoughts flashed in his mind, but facing the current situation, Hui Ming just lowered his head and lowered his eyes, waiting to thank the other party for his "kindness" according to the rules. Eunuch Su's slightly deep voice: "What's wrong?"
