Chapter Twenty Six

enter the palace

Ji Si and Jin Xiu hurried back to the city, Qin Jun was already asleep, lying on the bed, with one hand protruding from the quilt, hanging on the side of the bed, breathing evenly.The night watchman outside turned into Xing'er, who was also sleeping peacefully.

Ji Si pressed her finger against the edge of the window, glanced sideways, and smiled.Back to the small courtyard next to the East Wing. This courtyard is only separated from the backyard where Qin Jun lives. There is charcoal fire left over from the daytime in the back kitchen stove, and hot water is prepared in the pot. If servants use it, they can take it at willIn short, just take as much cold water as you want.

Ji Si fetched water to freshen up, and when she poured the water on her face, she was taken aback.

Now, she can also use hot water at any time, and snacks are always placed on the table outside to satisfy her hunger. She has three meals a day, and the servants in her own kitchen prepare and deliver the meals on time, so she doesn't have to eat the restpeople left.

There was a screen between the bed and the hall, and on the screen was the portrait of Qin Jun painted by Ji Si as before.

Ji Si folded her arms and looked at the painting for a while before blowing out the candles and resting.Just remembered that a few days ago, Fei once asked if he wanted to go back to Xi Jiang with him, and when he left, he gave himself a meaningful look, Ji Si twitched the corners of his mouth in the dark, and closed his eyes.

"The banquet at Linshui is over, and I can't leave the palace at any time," Qin Jun said to Ji Si while having breakfast in the room in the morning, "You can come back to the palace with me."

Ji Si was taken aback for a moment, the side dishes on the chopsticks did not fall into Qin Jun's bowl for a long time, Qin Jun raised his head and glanced at her, "Don't want to go?"

"No," Ji Si quickly said, "The bamboo garden?"

Qin Jun: "Keep it here. Occasionally, I will come to live here. The servants will also stay here."

Ji Si put down the bowls and chopsticks and got up: "The slave is going to pack things."

"Wait," Qin Jun called to stop her, "Lady Pin, the bamboo garden is still your home, you can stay if you want."

Ji Si turned around and bowed to Qin Jun, "I follow the princess."

Qin Jun quickly lowered her head, avoiding her sight, nodded, and waved her hand to signal her to get busy.

Ji Si went back to her room, found a wooden box, and wanted to remove the portrait on the screen. After thinking about it, she finally gave up. She took some clothes, put the golden black jade on her waist, and went back to the palace with Qin Jun.

The deep palace with high walls and glazed powder is another scene that Ji Si has never seen before.

"Jiuhua Hall, Huiyang Palace, Yulong Pavilion, Red Bridge Pavilion, Duanmen at the rear, Zhaoyang Hall facing outside, Tingzheng Hall inside, Taiji Hall for envoys, and..."

Along the way, Xiao Taozi enthusiastically introduced the layout of the various palaces. She stayed in the palace for several years, followed the sixth princess in and out, and she had almost no scruples wherever she went, and she couldn't clean the high walls of the palace.

Entering through the palace gate, the further you go to the deep palace, you can see groups of palace ladies in gorgeous clothes entering and leaving.Seeing the princess sedan chair from a distance, they huffed and knelt together, and waited for the sedan chair to disappear before getting up and moving forward.

"How big is it?" Xiao Taozi gestured with both hands, "It's nothing more than a bird's-eye view."

Qin Jun smiled, turned her head to meet Ji Si's eyes, and said: "Father is benevolent, although he is not one of the thrifty emperors, but he is not one who pursues extravagance. Qin Zhou's palace is also the same as when my grandfather was there.But I read in the book that a palace with unprecedented splendor covers three hundred miles, towering and tall buildings, hiding the sky and covering the sun, with pavilions and pavilions stretching for thousands of miles."

Xiao Taozi was slightly surprised: "A palace that covers the sky and the sun? How big is that?"

"I haven't seen it either." Qin Jun smiled.

The scene that suddenly appeared in Ji Si's mind, she didn't seem to find the flashy palace strange.

Scenes of gold and jade, pearls and emeralds, bead curtains, precious tents, tall terraces and pavilions, flying pavilions connected and carved pictures flashed chaotically in my mind.

Ji Si's expression was confused, Qin Jun glanced at it suddenly, and her heart was beating like thunder, "Lady Pin!"

Suddenly, those cloud-like fragments dispersed like fog.Ji Si looked at Qin Jun, "Princess?"

Qin Jun grabbed the hem of her skirt, "What... are you thinking?"

Ji Si held her lips: "When I saw the prosperity of the palace for the first time, I lost my eyes."

Qin Jun turned her head away, pursed her lips, looked away and asked, "Do you regret following me?"

"I don't regret it." Ji Si said.

Even if... this might make you lose your chance to be famous in the world and write history books?

Qin Jun sighed, knowing that she couldn't say this.

Speaking of the second half of the journey, Xiao Taozi also said that she was tired, and told Ji Si that she would introduce her next time, and sat quietly in the sedan chair to rest.

Ji Si didn't talk much at first, Qin Jun also frowned and thought about things, and the journey was quiet until Jin Xiu spoke outside, and the sedan chair carried by eight people stopped.

"Go back to the palace, and the fourth brother won't bother you at any time." Qin Jun said, being supported by a court lady who came forward, the maid carefully glanced at Ji Si, then lowered her eyes, reminding Qin Jun to be careful under his feet.

Qin Jun's stature is not enough, and the person who helped her was still bowed, so she said uncomfortably, "I will go by myself."

The maid retreated to the side: "No."

Jin Xiu and Xiao Taozi retreated to the gate of Shufeng Palace and turned to leave at the end. Ji Si followed Qin Jun all the time, seeing that Qin Jun was surrounded by at least seven or eight court ladies behind him, making her do nothing but walk and talk.Dry.

Qin Jun washed his hands, wiped his face, took a bath and changed his clothes again, and the maids who filed in pushed Ji Si aside.Just as Ji Si was about to speak, a maid in red attire stopped her.

"Girl, please come with your servant." The maid said in a low voice.

Qin Jun's voice came from behind the screen. He was very uncomfortable and soft-hearted, so he couldn't refuse these dedicated maidservants, "I, I, it's okay, go down, come in when you change clothes, there are no need for so many people..."

Ji Si was quiet for a moment, then turned around and followed the maid.

Passing through the corridor, the cold winter has not yet passed, and the water under the corridor in the princess hall actually exudes a slight heat.Ji Si took a look, only to realize that the pavilions and water pavilions here should be drawn from somewhere running water.It is not an exaggeration to move the palace building to fill the sea. It will be the Shufeng Palace, and there will be more than a hundred maids and servants from sweeping the courtyard walls to serving Qin Jun's daily life.

Ji Si looked away, followed the maids around east and west, walked through several walls, passed through several arches, and wherever they went, the scene inside changed again and again.

Almost fainting in these palaces, Ji Si finally followed the maids to a small courtyard that was not as luxuriously decorated as the main hall of Shufeng Palace.

Even so, it is much better than the bamboo garden. It is still glazed tiles and powder-extracted walls. The carved walls on the walls in the house are also very beautiful, but the courtyard walls are too high.

It looks like a small palace.

"The maids and servants all live in the same courtyard, but according to what my aunt said, let the girl live in a small courtyard alone, leaving two third-class maids and three sixth-class maids for the girl to drive."

Several maids and servants came in one after another carrying buckets, and some were holding clothes and jewelry.After watching it, Ji Si asked, "Auntie?"

The palace maid bowed towards her, "It's Aunt Jin Xiu."

Ji Si narrowed her eyes slightly: "Go down, wash yourself and change clothes, I will do it myself."

"Aunt said..."

"Get lost." Ji Si said coldly.

The maid had no choice but to follow her and lead people back.The five maids who stayed behind did not dare to touch Ji Si's moldy head, or went to sweep, or went to do laundry, or stood quietly at the door waiting for Ji Si to summon at any time.

After Ji Si took a bath, she changed into the clothes sent by the maid, and looked at the mirror. The clothes she wore were not clothes that could be distinguished by the maid, but rather ordinary clothes worn by some masters.A few new suits came.

After Ji Si changed her clothes, she still wore the software around her waist, tied it with a belt, and then put on the golden crow jade, pushed the door out and went straight out of the courtyard.

A court lady stopped her: "Where is the girl going?"

"Shufeng Palace."

"Auntie has an order. Only if the front summons, the girl can go."

Ji Si narrowed her eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"

The palace maid immediately promised: "...Auntie, miss, don't embarrass your servants. If the princess wants to, she will come!"

After thinking back and forth several times, Ji Si was not a stupid person, so she understood immediately.She was brought into the palace for no reason, and she was treated as someone who was raised here for the princess to play for fun, just like the concubines of the emperor.Gradually forgotten in the deep palace.

Ji Si suddenly smiled, thinking that everyone had already tacitly understood her identity, "How many people are there in the princess mansion like me?"

"Only the girl." The palace maid lowered her head.

Jin Xiu, Xiao Taozi, and Xing'er all changed their palace attires when they returned to the palace. They either served Qin Jun or went off to work separately, keeping the hundreds of people in the Princess Mansion in order.

After dinner, Qin Jun looked at the dishes on the table and remembered that Ji Si had told her not to waste them. She waved a few dishes away and asked, "Where is Lady Pin?"

Jin Xiu tried the dishes, "Princess wants to meet her?"

Qin Jun took a sip of the fish soup, "Where did you arrange it?"

Jin Xiu looked at Qin Jun: "Is this a summons?"

Qin Jun nodded, "Call her over after dinner."

"Still washing?" Ji Si frowned, watching someone come in with a bucket.

"Girl, the princess calls for bed." The maid said with a blushing face, and it was her first time serving a female pet.Unexpectedly, I learned a set of methods of serving the concubines in the harem.

Find a set of thin and thick quilts, let Ji Si lie down and roll her up after taking a bath.

Ji Si raised her eyebrows and pulled the corner of her mouth: "Good."
