Chapter 30 Daily Life of the Maids Around Concubine Fang 3
Speaking of Tian'er, Fang Chang paused in her joy and agreed:
"Besides Tian'er, I think Xiao Xizi is also quite suspicious. He always sneaks out. Apart from these two, the rest of Xiao Luozi seems normal, but he's not entirely trustworthy either."
Although these three people were sent by Su Peisheng to take care of her, who can guarantee that they are not someone else's people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
The longer you serve, the higher the possibility of being bribed.
Fang Chang has neither a distinguished family background nor the ability to see through everything. It is easy for her to avoid being attacked openly but difficult to guard against an arrow from behind.
"However, my lady, you don't have to worry too much. Your pregnancy is not yet known to others, and you are not favored. Others will not focus on you. The Queen always prioritizes pregnant women, so there is no need to worry."
A pregnant woman's mood can affect the health of the fetus. Qu Lian concealed the dangerous undercurrent and picked out good things to comfort Fang Changzai.
When Qu Lian was working every day, she would always take a look at the palace to see if there was anything unusual. She would also carefully check everything sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, for fear that the queen had buried musk somewhere again.
Musk can be used as a contraceptive, can cause miscarriage in pregnant women, and naturally can also cause infertility.
The Queen always loves to do these little tricks, so we have to be on guard.
Qu Lian was familiar with some of the plot and understood the Queen's character, so she always took special care of some large tree roots and grass, fearing that someone would bury something there again.
That night, it snowed heavily. Late at night, Tian'er, who was sleeping next door, opened his eyes and carefully glanced at Qu Lian over there. Seeing that Qu Lian seemed to be sleeping soundly, Tian'er's eyes flashed, and then he carefully lifted the thick quilt on his body, got out of bed carefully, put on his shoes and socks, and went out quietly.
After Tian'er left, Qu Lian, who should have been fast asleep, opened her eyes and looked at the closed door. She quickly put on her shoes and socks with light movements.
Xiao Luozi was the one who was responsible for guarding the first half of the night. After Tian'er went out, he made eye contact with Xiao Luozi. Xiao Luozi naturally took out a small jar and a small gardening shovel from his arms and handed them to Tian'er.
Qu Lian hid sideways behind a thick round pillar, and in the darkness, she could see the little movements of Tian'er and Xiao Luozi.
The candles were all extinguished in the middle of the night, and the place where she was hiding was deprived of the already scarce moonlight, becoming even darker and darker, and she could not see clearly at all. Although Xiao Luozi looked around vigilantly, he did not realize that Qu Lian was secretly observing them.
Tian'er didn't know that her actions had been exposed. She said something to Xiao Luozi and quietly walked to the door of Fang Chang's bedroom. There were four pots of yellow chrysanthemums on both sides of the door. She used a small gardening shovel to dig up the soil of one of the pots of chrysanthemums, carefully buried the small jar in it, and then covered it with soil again.
After carefully flattening the soil, Tian'er breathed a sigh of relief and went back to return the small shovel to Xiao Luozi. The two looked at each other silently and nodded, as if they were giving each other some secret signal; Tian'er went back to rest.
Before Tian'er came back, Qu Lian went back to bed and fell asleep again.
Tian'er was as cautious as she was when she went out. She carefully observed that Qu Lian showed no signs of stirring, and confirmed that she was still sleeping soundly, so she lay back on the bed with peace of mind.
The next day, Qu Lian went to help Fang Chang braid her hair early in the morning.
If the roads are not cleared overnight, they will accumulate thick snow, or even freeze, making it very easy for pedestrians to slip and fall.
Yixiu exempted the concubines from paying their respects every day and only needed to do so on the first and fifteenth day of each month.
Therefore, Fang Changzai doesn't need to go out for the time being.
Fang Changzai had just sent Tian'er to pick up the breakfast prepared by the imperial kitchen for the day; two eunuchs were also sent to clear the snow; there were only two people in the room.
Qu Lian was carefully braiding Fang Chang's hair. With her fingers flying, she created a beautiful bun hairstyle. She was very dexterous.
"Last night at midnight, I saw Tian'er burying something in a flowerpot," Qu Lian said, inserting a hairpin into Fang Chang's hair to fix her hairstyle.
"Since there's no one around, I'll go dig it out and see what it is. Please wait a moment, my dear. I'll make the rest for you later."
Fang Chang was so shocked that she didn't even bother to fix her hair. She just did the rest herself:
"You go and take a look, be careful, I'll put the rest in myself."
Qu Lian directly moved the yellow chrysanthemums into the house, dug out the things, and carefully identified them. She found that they had the smell of musk. She felt speechless and thought, "As expected." The familiar smell and the familiar formula were most likely the work of the Queen.
She hid the things and prepared to find an opportunity to throw them away, while Juhua moved them back.
It takes a lot of time to clear the snow, and the way to the imperial kitchen to get breakfast is not short. When Qu Lian finished the above, Tian'er's shadow had not yet arrived.
Qu Lian washed her hands and dried them carefully before approaching Fang Changzai and saying:
"The contents of the small jar smell like musk to me. They are the same handwriting as the one the queen buried under the osmanthus tree. I think it is related to the queen."
After hearing Qu Lian's speculation, Fang Changzai felt as if the pain and sadness of the past were right before her eyes. She felt weak for a moment and looked at Qu Lian with concern. Tears began to fall from her eyes like pearls falling off a string.
"I haven't even revealed my pregnancy yet, and she's already so eager to harm me? What deep hatred do we have that would warrant her going to such lengths to deal with me?"
Qu Lian had never talked to Fang Changzai about the Queen's past. Fang Changzai just thought that she had displeased the Queen in some way, so the Queen was trying her best to deal with her.
Qu Lian thought about it and decided to reveal the truth with Fang Changzai: "The Queen is not targeting you alone. She targets all the Emperor's children. You are just one of them. Besides, dealing with you now is probably just a matter of convenience. The other concubines are the ones the Queen needs to be most wary of right now."
"Why? Just because she can't have children, does that mean others can't have children either?"
Fang Changzai said resentfully.
"That's not the key. It's because of the eldest prince," Qu Lian whispered. "When the eldest prince fell ill and died, Yixiu never got pregnant again. She hated other children and refused to allow anyone else's children to be born."
Hearing this answer, Fang Changzai felt it was ridiculous. She burst into tears and said:
"She didn't blame the imperial physician, nor the disease, but instead blamed us innocent people. When I had a miscarriage, the imperial physician told me it was a fully formed fetus!"
Qu Lian didn't know how to comfort Fang Changzai, so she could only hug her silently.
Half a minute later, Tian'er came back with breakfast. Fang Changzai tidied herself up and let Tian'er and the two eunuchs who were sweeping the snow go to eat first with a normal expression.
Fang Changzai always asked them to go early when eating. Tian'er looked at Fang Changzai with complicated eyes, then looked at Qu Lian who was serving food to Fang Changzai, then said goodbye in a low voice and went downstairs to eat.
After everyone left, Qu Lian carefully checked the food. After making sure everything was fine, she sat down calmly and ate with Fang Chang.
The food for the palace maids and eunuchs was not as good as that for their masters, so Fang Changzai would always keep Qu Lian to eat with her.
In front of others, the two are master and servant, but behind others, Fang Changzai treats Qu Lian sincerely as a good sister and fulfills her original promise not to treat Qu Lian unfairly.
