Tinglu quickly brought a shuttlecock made of a few beautiful chicken feathers, rolled up the skirt, and kicked it in the warm gaze. Her figure was light and agile, like a swallow flying up and down, which was very pleasing to the eye. This is a kind of sports beauty, which is completely different from the feeling given by dance.

Tinglu's skill in kicking shuttlecocks is very advanced. When the shuttlecock is kicked out, it seems to be sucked back by a magnet, and it is firmly stuck to Tinglu's toes.

Su Yiqing slowly counted Tinglu in her heart, counting until a thousand times before Tinglu stopped, so as not to kick the little maid for too long and exhaustion is not good for her health. The weather is cold now and it is easy to catch a cold.

Just when Tinglu stopped, she pulled down a golden ball hairpin inserted on her head and admired Tinglu.

Now the little maids in the warm cabinet are full of admiration. Not only is the precious jewelry worn by the princess, they are also very meaningful. They have been with the princess for a long time. The princess is generous in their daily lives and often rewards others, but they have never seen the princess reward the jewelry she has worn.

Tinglu is really lucky to play shuttlecock. Many maids can play a little bit, not even worse than Tinglu. However, when they entered the palace, everyone was busy learning various more practical tasks, such as needlework, embroidery, cooking, or other jobs that could please their masters. Who has the time to play shuttlecock? Tinglu is a little stupid and can play all day long. I didn't expect that this time I was so lucky that I would be so lucky with such a hairpin, and I would be in the future with a dowry.

Amid the admiration of everyone, Su Yiqing called Tinglu to come forward and asked her carefully how she could kick the shuttlecock so well?

Perhaps because of excitement, Tinglu's previous uneasiness disappeared and she talked too much. She talked in detail about the situation of playing shuttlecock with her friends in the village when she was a child and how she played. She followed the trend and talked about interesting things when she was a child. She entered the royal palace at the age of eight. She used to live in the village and had a deep memory of the village. There were so many children in the countryside that were a way to have fun. Catch grasshoppers, pick wild flowers and weave garlands, blow bamboo whistles, etc.

Obviously, Tinglu was also full of nostalgia for those years, and spoke with emotion and was very beautiful. Su Yiqing listened with relish and asked some trivial matters of rural life that she didn't understand from time to time. Time was so easy to pass.

Finally, Su Yiqing ordered Lu Teng to give Tinglu a big red flower cloth, because Tinglu talked about interesting things in childhood, which was the envy of seeing her sister next door wearing a new clothes for big red flower cloth during the Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, her family was poor, and she had two sisters on her, and all the clothes were given to her by her sister. She had never worn a new clothes before she became a maid in the palace.

Su Yiqing felt sympathy. She thought that the clothes of the maids in the royal palace were of certain standards, and there was no such big red and green flower fabric that the country people liked. Since Tinglu still missed the past, she would definitely want a piece of clothing like that, so she would like to give her a piece of cloth like this. But if Tinglu no longer wants it, it would be easy to exchange for uncut fabrics.

Hearing Lu Huan's joyful reward, he then stepped back as he ordered.

Su Yiqing was also sleepy at this time. She recalled the quiet rural life she had seen before, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, it spread throughout the palace. The princess likes to play shuttlecocks and listens to interesting stories.

Those little maids no longer embroider or do anything else in their spare time. They all gathered together to play shuttlecock in groups of three or three, playing various kinds of fun, but they seemed much more energetic.

Only one day, Yuemian passed by and saw the little maids gathered to play shuttlecocks. When she heard her aunt Xue Niang talk about it, she couldn't help but smile, "These little maids must be on a whim. It's really unnecessary to practice this just for the princess to have a whim. It's better to learn the skills that can be used to live at home seriously."

Xue Niang agreed, but sighed again, "The reason is that, but these little maids can't hear it now. It is said that the hairpin of Lu De is similar, and it costs about 800 taels of silver per piece. Tinglu's is probably more valuable. You can enjoy such a valuable hairpin after kicking a shuttlecock for a while. That little maid is not jealous? Embroidery, cooking, and rouge are not necessary for living at home. Ordinary people know how to make clothes and soles to cook a few home-cooked dishes. They have learned to be appreciated by their master one day. If they are not lucky, they may not be much better than playing shuttlecock. It is also hard."

Yuemian looked at Xue Niang with some surprise, "Auntie is quite thoughtful."

Xue Niang was very helpless, "I am also a veteran. When I was young, I didn't know how to think about it, so I just wanted to make those fancy things that the blogger liked, but if this master liked, I may not like it. Even if the same master liked it when I was young, I may not like it for two years. It took us many years of youth to learn this. It would be better to think about something else at that time. Only when I was old can I understand a little bit. What's the use? I've become old and dirty."

Yuemian could hear the loneliness in Xue Niang's words. Since the princess entered the mansion, the beauties in Linglong Garden and Liuli Garden have completely lost their favor. After the princess entered the door, the few who were ready to move were suppressed. On the contrary, a few of them bravely retreated when they saw the situation was not good, asking for grace, returning home, or getting married with savings, they all heard that they were good.

There was news that the princess was pregnant, and even the legendary Miss Ning, who looked like Princess Ning in front, was kicked out of the princess's mansion. Many people gave up and asked someone to find a way out. Only a few of them were left to stay hard, hoping that the princess would not serve the princess, so they would have the chance.

Those people are really stupid. Even if the princess cannot serve the prince, there are beauties outside who want to squeeze in. Why would the prince still want these people who have already fallen out of favor? It would be better to take advantage of the young and beautiful appearance. Women's youth are limited, and they will be less likely to delay for one more year. Just like a maid as old as her, she couldn't take advantage of the princess' interest in asking for grace. Now she sees the reality clearly and knows that she probably has no chance to be taken away by the princess and wants to ask the princess to make the decision. But when the princess is pregnant, she will give birth to a child in the future and then go to confinement, recuperate, take care of the child, etc. I'm afraid she will not have time to do this in one or two years. It's not that the little maids can't get married, but these things are all arranged by the managers. Where can the princesses do the job personally?

Many maids regret it now, but those people have nothing to do with her. Yuemian looked at Xue Niang, who was in her early thirties and was still charming, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, are you really willing to do this for the rest of your life?"

Xue Niang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "I am at this age, what else can I do if I don't do this?"

Yuemian's voice was lowered, "Auntie, don't you want to leave the house?"

After leaving the mansion, Xue Niang was even more confused. She had been dying after ten years of hard work. She had not thought about getting married in her early years, but she saw the sisters around her. After getting married, she became a wife one by one, just like a slave in the husband's family. She was not as good as a slave. Generally, she had good monthly money and rewards. But after getting married, she was tiring and tired. She was so angry that she was the same age as her, and now she could be called a mother-in-law. She was so lucky that she could survive until her mother-in-law died or her son should enjoy her wife's wife. She also became ferocious.

She has always been cowardly and does not want to live that kind of life. She is even more afraid of that kind of life, so she simply gave up the idea of ​​getting married.

Yuemian said: "Auntie, after I married my husband, I have seen a lot outside, and there are good men outside, and there are also good men like you, and there are also married people like you. It will feel different to have a family. You can have your own children. I know that you like children, so don't you want to have your own children?"

"I'm so old." Xue Niang sighed again. As a woman, how could she not want to have her own child? But she was really afraid.

Yuemian said again: "Aunt, women outside can also go out to do things. As long as they can make money, how can they bear it? If they really can't do it, they can still get along. It's better than staying in the palace for a lifetime and having no support in old age..."

Yuemian is very good at persuading people. After a few words, Xue Niang was a little moved, but she was still hesitant, "What did you... let me say this for a while?"

This is about a lifelong decision. Xue Niang looked at Yuemian and her husband, and Liu'er, who had visited her from time to time, was not unwilling to envy her, but she could not change her belief that she had always insisted on with a few words from her niece.

Yuemian could see Xue Niang's concerns and simply said, "Auntie, I actually think so. Since I have married, it is not good to be a job in the royal palace. The princess is kind-hearted. She saw me uneasy before, and was afraid of being out of the way, so she allowed me to continue working in the mansion. But we can't rely on the princess' kindness to take advantage of this. Since we are married, my husband can support the family. I have some savings, so I shouldn't be staying in the royal palace, so I thought about quitting my job in the outer courtyard."

"Ah!" Xue Niang was very surprised. How many people envied Yuemian for being able to work in the mansion after being released from marriage. Why didn't Yuemian want to do it? Although Yuemian's words make sense, she was old and thought too much, and still worried, "Yuemian, you must think carefully. Once you go out, you can't come back. It's not that simple for the couple to live."

Yuemian looked very resolute, "Auntie, I know. I thought about it long before I got married. Now I have been together for so long. I know that my husband is a good person. He treats me well and has a serious job to support the family. Even if I quit this job, it would be okay for me to quit the job. I just can't bear to leave my aunt. Once I quit my job, it's not that easy to see my aunt. Auntie, I always think you are my real mother, so why don't you go with me? Even if you don't want to do things, we can still respect you for the rest of your life." (To be continued ~^~)
