Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!
Chapter 214 Songzhi's Repayment
With a little caution, Taxue deliberately answered: "I am just a few new palace maids in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is normal that Auntie does not recognize me."
Songzhi was already over 25 years old, so leaving the palace was impossible. With Liu Hua's deliberate arrangement and Yinzhen and Wuya Chengbi turning a blind eye, she successfully entered the Kunning Palace, which was in charge of sacrifices, and became a steward aunt.
The Kunning Palace was a place used by the Qing Dynasty royal family for sacrifices, with spring sacrifices, autumn sacrifices, daily sacrifices, and the whole month was basically packed with them.
How could she let Taxue fool her so easily? "I'm not trying to get information from you, but you don't tell me the truth. I've been the head aunt of Yikun Palace for so many years, how could I not recognize you in this outfit?
This is clearly what a first-class maid wears, but the pants underneath are autumn shoes. This is strange, a first-class maid is respected in front of the Empress, and the main position is a concubine, how can she live such a miserable life?
Taxue didn't expect that it was her senior. As an insider, she knew how Nian Shilan died and her master's methods.
He just apologized and hurried to the Imperial Household Department, no longer paying any attention to Songzhi.
It was the first time Song Zhi had seen someone look down on her like this. She said loudly in dissatisfaction, "No wonder she is not favored by the Queen Mother. With her temper, who can please her every day?"
The two young palace maids beside her immediately comforted her: "Aunt, don't be angry. She was brought here from outside, so she must be different from us. She is arrogant and wants to learn from Huancheng."
Taxue was in no mood to listen any further, so he hurriedly threw the auspicious dress to the Imperial Household Department, found an embroiderer at random, and gave her a few instructions - it was for Concubine Chang, and she had to mend it carefully with Suzhou embroidery, and there would be a generous reward if it was repaired well.
He decided to wait two days before checking again, and rushed out of the door in a hurry, bumping into a housekeeper.
The housekeeper looked at the maid who was acting so unruly and subconsciously scolded her, "Which palace are you from? The things in here are becoming more and more valuable as the year draws to a close. What should we do if you ruin the ladies' clothes?"
"Madam, please spare him. She looks like a senior maid in some palace. She must have some urgent business.
She must be a little palace maid who doesn't know the rules and deliberately makes Madam angry.
An embroiderer was standing at the side door, holding a large roll of silk thread.
Taxue stood there in a daze. The embroiderer was actually about four or five percent similar to himself.
If it were outside the palace, surrounded by a sea of people, it would certainly be nothing, but in the Forbidden City, it would be particularly eye-catching.
"That's your niece, right? No wonder I spoke up for her. She was in such a hurry to find you just now."
The housekeeper immediately changed her expression and led Taxue to Xunmei.
Taxue looked in disbelief at the woman in front of him who claimed to be his aunt.
His mother was just a maid in the East Palace, and she was originally a foot-washing maid. How could she be an aunt?
Before she could think, Xunmei hugged her and pulled her into a side compartment, crying bitterly.
"Your mother and I are twins. Our family had no money, so when we were sold, we didn't end up together.
We have just met again. I became a self-combed girl and finally had the capital to make a living. I learned Su embroidery and was able to enter the palace today. I didn’t expect to meet you.
Taxue didn't believe in such a coincidental family relationship, so he quickly stepped back and distanced himself from Xunmei.
"Since you are my aunt's palace, how can you know so much about it? I am currently working for Concubine Chang when she was still alive, and you have come to me."
"I was able to find you because you were working for Empress Chang Fei. Back when we were in the Jinling Palace, we made new clothes for you.
You just happened to send it here, and at that time I was not sure. Now I have come to the capital, spent money, found the old maid in the Tong Mansion, and asked again and again before I can be sure. "
Xunmei's words were half true and half false. Taxue did these rough work every day, so how could she remember which time she had gone to deliver the goods?
"There are countless people who look alike in the world, but it doesn't mean that this is my aunt."
"Your mother has a red mole under her breast, but you don't have any birthmarks on your body. You were born well."
Taxue was stunned, and now he had to believe it.
Just as he was about to ask the aunt what she wanted, a bag of silver was stuffed into his hand.
"It's almost New Year's Day. This is your lucky money. I'm leaving now. The palace work is too heavy to finish, and I'll be scolded. You should go back soon too."
After saying that, he left on his own initiative, leaving Taxue standing there in a daze.
The housekeeper's loud voice once again reached Taxue's ears, "Miss Jian, don't hide in our compartment. Doesn't your mother want to talk to you about something?"
"Do you understand? Let's go now." Putting the heavy silver into the thin cotton jacket, one feels particularly at ease.
Yonghe Palace is more lively than usual, with lights and decorations, and two huge snowmen built in the courtyard.
“It’s taken care of.”
"Look at what you said, Madam. You can first use the finest peacock gold thread to mend that auspicious dress. When it is exposed to the light, whether it is sunlight or candlelight, it will sparkle. It is rich and magnificent. It really took a lot of effort.
Just don’t touch the cinnabar, or it will fade and become ugly.”
"Go down, I will remember your kindness. The wedding dress of the Third Prince's wife is up to you, Madam."
Under the floral screen, one inside and one outside, Liu Hua and Nanny Guan were asking and answering questions.
Both parties were very satisfied with what they were able to gain.
After the eager-to-promote nanny left, An Lingrong picked up a palette of lead powder and mixed an eyeshadow.
"Cinnabar is poisonous, yet countless women throughout history have used it as lip balm.
Since I got cochineal, I feel much better. But when I pray in Kunning Palace, I can’t help but use it.
An Lingrong is - A man who has been away for three days will be looked at with new eyes, let alone more than three years have passed.
He is also well-versed in medical and miscellaneous books, and has a good grasp of the benefits of cinnabar.
"Luckily, my sister found a good place for Aunt Songzhi. Now she's working in Kunning Palace, which is convenient for us."
"It's indeed convenient. If she knew the truth, she would want to eat Tong Jia Yunrong alive."
Liu Hua already had the evidence that Yue Axing had let Zhen Huan into Xie Kun's palace, but before she could use it, Song Zhi took the initiative to put forward conditions.
Recalling what he said, one cannot help but sigh.
"Arong, tell me. Our emperor is also very cruel. Nian Gengyao has clearly given up his military power, but his wife, sister, and several older sons are still staying in the capital, and he refuses to let them reunite."
"we."
An Lingrong's tone was slow and she was very dissatisfied.
"Arong, don't worry about these details. What I mean is that Songzhi's condition is that I marry Nian Shishao to the son of the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer."
This condition was beyond Liu Hua's expectations. The chief academic officer of the Imperial College was only a fourth-rank official, and his son was even just a juren, without the title of jinshi.
What does the second young lady of the Nian family like about him?
