Suddenly discovering something, his eyes lit up: "My Heavenly Jewels are so beautiful, how come I didn't notice them? Senior Servant Chen, hurry, hurry and help me take a look. "

When that helpless Senior Servant Chen helped Ning Fei out, I saw that her body was so thin that even a gust of wind could blow her away. Her long hair was almost reaching her ankles.

She walked over to the purple plant and squatted down to look. "My Heavenly Jewels, Senior Servant Chen, did you see them?" My Heavenly Jewels? "So beautiful, so beautiful, the emperor likes it the most."

Grandma Chen turned her head and I saw the tears in her eyes.

"Early Snow." She suddenly called to me.

I stepped forward and bent down. "This servant is here."

"There's no need to call me a servant. There's only the three of us here. "Chu Xue, from now on, take good care of the Heavenly Jewels for me. The Emperor likes the purple Heavenly Jewels the most, and they have to look like this. They are so bright, so clean and beautiful." she said happily.

Senior Servant Chen blinked at me. I understood what she meant and respectfully said, "Yes, esteemed Ning Concubine."

She smiled, squinting her long eyes. She smiled in a very satisfied manner, making people feel that she understood what she was saying.

But a moment later, she was coughing violently again.

Chen mama hurried to help her up, patting her back. "Esteemed Empress, esteemed Empress." Chu Xue, quickly go in and get the medicine. "

I went into my room to get the medicine. As soon as I entered the room, the strong smell of the medicine made me dizzy. When I saw the black medicine still on the table, I brought it out.

Esteemed Empress Ning's face had already turned pale. Chen mama took the medicine and trembled a little, waiting on her to take it.

She had just taken a sip when she spat out a mouthful of blood.

I jumped in fright, but Chen mama stomped her feet. "Chu Xue, take good care of esteemed wangfei, I need to call Imperial Physician Zhang over."

I nodded and took her hand. When I saw the blood, I felt an inexplicable sense of fear. I thought of my father, who was also sick like that.

How thin Ning Fei was. Her fingers grabbed onto my wrist like claws. Her shriveled fingers and wrist revealed a heavy cyan color, making me feel as if my life was slipping away.

My tears slid down my cheeks as well. "Esteemed wangfei Ning."

She leaned into my arms, panting.

I half supported her into the room. She was really light, making me feel sad. Are all the women in the Cold Palace the same? Were all the women of the Cold Palace so infatuated? He was still thinking of planting Heavenly Jewels for the Emperor, but he would never come again, even if he did. The imperial concubines were all gorgeous beauties, and most of them were round and beautiful.

Inside were two interconnected rooms, her bedroom was in there, a simple arrangement, and I could have carried her easily to bed, wiped the blood from her lips in fear, and made her feel better. She stopped panting, poured some water, and carefully allowed her to drink.

She let out a sigh of relief, as if she wasn't that out of breath anymore. "Chu Xue, you sure know how to take care of people."

"Esteemed wangfei, Chu Xue's father was just as sick. Chu Xue was unfilial and served father for a few days."

She smiled and said weakly, "It's been hard on you, first snow."

The long pressure in my heart, the bitterness, poured out, my tears splattered down.

It's been hard on me. I've always kept it in my heart. Her indifferent words are actually the balance in my heart.

Fortunately, that Senior Servant Chen brought the imperial physician over after a while. I stood by the side and listened to her commands, forgetting all my hunger. I hope that nothing will happen to esteemed Ning Xiaoyao. She's a good person. A good concubine, a good mistress.

I tossed and turned until nightfall. Madam Ning's medicine and the like were all personally concocted by Chen mama. She was not lying to others and she didn't allow me to interfere. Only later on did I find out how dark the imperial harem was.

After Ning Fei had fallen asleep, Senior Servant Chen said to me, "Tomorrow, come over earlier."

I nodded. "Yes, Mammy."

"The Empress really likes you. After you clean the courtyard, you will spend more time with the Empress." "Take care of yourself. The Lady likes to be clean." She looked at me.

I realized that I was still covered in dust. "Yes, Mammy."

"Go, go." She waved her hand.

A small bed was set up outside esteemed Ning Xiaoyao's room, so she could stand guard at night. I stepped out of the cold palace in the rising moonlight, listening to the sounds from some unknown courtyard.

Am I making a bet? I made the right bet. Concubine Ning is a good master.

I'll do my best to serve her. For so long, except for the nurse who knows my sorrows, who would say a word. Even the pear blossoms were ignored.

I am strong, but, I am really bitter, my hatred, and my helplessness are always entangled.

I returned to my lodgings. The cold palace had no place for me yet, and I had to return to the resting places of the ladies.

Most of them had returned, but I didn't see Pear Fragrance on my own. I was a little anxious as I hurried to ask the palace maids that were with her.

"Why isn't Pear Fragrance back yet?"

"She still has a lot of clothes to wash." A man said while chewing on a steamed bun.

Everyone has a steamed bun and a bowl of thin porridge. This is our dinner.

Being under the eaves, I had no choice but to lower my head. I wasn't here to be a Miss, I was a palace maid. I drank a thin layer of porridge, found a piece of paper, and wrapped up two steamed buns.

"I advise you not to go. She probably won't be able to come back tonight." Someone grumbled, "She started to lose her temper as soon as she left, and she didn't wash. The mama in charge of the laundry gave her more, and she wanted us to help her wash it. We're all the same, why should we wash her? "She used to be a miss of the Qian Jin, but now that she has entered the palace, she has to look more clearly."

"I'm sorry." "Pear blossoms," I said guiltily.

"It's none of your business." After eating the porridge, he sat on the shared bed and chatted with some of the palace maids.

I carried two steamed buns to the laundry room.

The moon was a little cool, and there were palace lanterns hanging everywhere, but they couldn't light up my heart, and I could hear the faint, deep, and elegant sound of the zither. I stood on tiptoe and looked. Far away, the bright lights of the palace, the sound of singing. Which palace's concubine was doing her best? Probably due to the Emperor's favor. Pity the woman from the Cold Palace, she was even worse than a palace maid. She couldn't even take half a step out of the Cold Palace.

The emperor tried to use the high wall to block out people he didn't want to see.

Accompanying a man like a tiger, I know that there are not many stories like this in books. Who would cry when they smiled at her today?

If she wasn't happy, she would go to the cold palace and wait for the emperor to pamper her. Who would remember that she had once been so beautiful that the emperors' love was always weak? I do not know what love is, love is too far away from me, my beauty, suitable to be a palace maid.

But when I thought of the Ning Consort of the harem with her Heavenly Jewels, my nose soured, and I straightened my shoulders and walked towards the sink where the laundry was being done.

Under the lonely lamp, there was only the fragrance of pear on her cheek. A pile of clothes was beside her.

"Pear fragrance." I called softly.

"Shh." "Don't be noisy, what a good song. The emperor must be there."

I sighed. "Pear Blossom, don't think too much. If we can't even be palace maids, don't even mention that we don't even have the chance to live to see our father. The palace won't raise idle people." In particular, we cannot be idle.

Riko's expression changed and she frowned, "My bones aren't so cheap that you only need to be a palace maid and you want to be a palace maid with just this little bit of improvement. If you can't even raise your head in this life, then you're destined to be a servant, Ni Chuxue. "

I shook my head. "Pear Fragrance, bamboo doesn't grow every day. You're ambitious, but have you thought about it, Pear Fragrance? If you don't wash all of these clothes, tomorrow, you will be whipped. Perhaps, they will ruin your beauty."

She stood up and stepped on the clothes around her fiercely, "How did I, Yin Lixiang, end up like this? Tell me, Ni Chuxue, what's wrong with me compared to that Lian Qiuchi? Why is she able to stay by Lifei's side? Over there, however, one could often see the Emperor. What about me? I actually did laundry, and even those old hooves bullied me to wash, to wash. " She ruthlessly stepped on it, venting the anger in her heart. "One day, I will make you pay double."

"Are you sure that day will come?" I said mercilessly.

I could smell her anger all over her, but I had to break her pride. He was too arrogant. He was afraid that one day, he would see her riddled with wounds. Even her conceited appearance would not be reborn. How many beauties were there in the palace? The beauty of the pear blossom was not exceptional here. The lowest of the maids did not have any beautiful clothes, so she could not put on makeup.

"Ni Chu Xue, are you jealous of me? Do you have to hit me just like they did? You're happy to see me like this, and I know you've always thought I was in your way. " she cried angrily.

"Then did you see it clearly? I don't want to ask for anything. I just want to be able to stay safe, leave the palace, and see father. Don't you want to? Father truly dotes on you. " I was tearful and a little angry, and I hoped she would understand.

I didn't want anything to happen to her. Did she understand? Did she understand?

She bit her lip and sobbed, not saying a word.

I shut my eyes to force the tears back and gave her two steamed buns. "Go and eat something."

I sat by the sink and brought the water up and soaked my clothes and then I rubbed them one by one and learned everything. People don't learn everything from birth, they don't learn anything, they don't know anything, they just know nothing, they go through all these things, and then they know how lucky we were before.

"This steamed bun is cold, hard and unpalatable." she said in a slightly tearful voice.

I knew she had taken my words in, and I was relieved. "Always eat, and if you don't eat you don't have the strength to live."
