Chapter 4 Who met His Highness the Third Prince?
Yeting, also known as Yongxiang, is a side house in the palace where the ladies live.
And I, Yue Qingying, am the most ordinary and humble maid in the imperial palace of China. It has been almost five years since I entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and my life has been very peaceful, as if there is not even a ripple.
The surface of the lake is the same.
But what happened last night completely broke this peace.
With an uneasy mood, I slowly walked to the courtyard in front. There were already many palace maids standing there, talking about each other, and standing at the front of the crowd was facing Eunuch Yu, the supervisor of chambermaids.
Standing next to him is Yao Yingxue, the female official of Yeting. We usually call her aunt. In fact, she is one year younger than me, but because she entered the palace early, she is beautiful, smart, and has quite a lot of assets.
, so he was like a fish in water in this palace, and at a young age he was recognized by the superiors and took charge of Yeting.
As soon as I saw the two of them, my face immediately turned pale.
As soon as Yu'er saw me coming, she pulled me over and whispered: "Why are you so slow? Be careful and you will be punished later."
I forced a smile to her, but my heart felt bitter.
It's not that I'm slow, but the tearing pain in my lower body has not subsided until now. Every step I take is difficult, but I can't express the pain. I slowly raised my head and saw Eunuch Yu taking a step forward.
, looking at us condescendingly, with a shrewd light shining in those slender eyes, which makes people break into cold sweats at the first sight.
My heart beats harder.
At this time, Eunuch Yu coughed slightly, and everyone immediately fell silent. He only heard him say: "His Royal Highness the Prince got married last night, and everyone in the palace was busy for half a night. Thank you for your hard work."
Everyone did not answer the question.
"But there are still some people who sneak out without a moment's notice! Normally our family doesn't control you, but if something big happens, it won't be something our family can get over with just a word!"
When I heard this, I felt my heart beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out of my chest.
At this time, he suddenly changed the topic: "However, the emperor is kind-hearted, so everyone still has rewards. You must know how to be grateful, the emperor's rewards are a great blessing!"
……
It turns out that he is here to pay the reward.
My heart almost rose to my throat, and it sank at this moment. The blood in my body started to flow again, and the surrounding area suddenly became lively.
Then everyone walked up to him to receive the reward. Each person received two coins. The people in front quickly finished receiving and left. When it was my turn, I stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
After receiving the reward, I turned around and walked back, but as soon as I turned around, I heard Eunuch Yu behind me say again: "One more thing, at the prince's wedding last night, some of the maids in your court were not on duty.
When you go to the main hall, have you ever met His Highness the Third Highness elsewhere in the palace?"
Wow——
As soon as Eunuch Yu finished speaking, a sudden sound startled everyone, and everyone looked at me in surprise.
