Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book

"Today, sister, are you confused?" He Cui laughed and whispered, "Cui'er, remember, it's sister's birthday today!"

When releasing river lanterns last year, Wu Qing said that because it was an extremely yin birthday, her family members never wanted to celebrate it for her, and the elders in the family said it was unlucky.

Wu Qing's frozen expression began to crack. The original body and herself had the same birthday, July 15th. It was truly an inescapable fate.

My family buys river lanterns and releases them. If it were to be discovered that I didn't do this, it would be difficult to explain.

She raised her right arm and looked at it.

Haha, thank God for your grace!

"Let's go back to the house. You make river lanterns and I'll watch." It was impossible to celebrate the birthday of a third-class palace maid in the depths of the palace, but it was nice to release river lanterns here as a way of commemoration.

Wu Qing originally wanted to sit in Xifeng Pavilion and watch He Cui making river lanterns, but unexpectedly He Cui took something to the corner outside Meiwu.

Can't this be done indoors? Wu Qing didn't dare ask, fearing that she would be exposed.

Sitting on the side, I watched He Cui making river lanterns. She first spread rosin evenly on the curved copper surface, then lit a fire underneath. As the high temperature heated the rosin, it softened. She immediately placed pink tissue paper on it, and the rosin seeped into the paper.

While the paper was still hot, He Cui pressed it onto a round wooden stake to shape it, piece by piece. It looked a bit like lotus petals, but it wasn't very pretty.

After He Cui arranged the paper into the desired shape, she began to trim it into the shape of a lotus flower. It was truly lifelike.

I took out the lotus cup and stuck it on the wooden base with white glue used for carpentry.

Then place a candle in the lotus cup.

A lotus lantern is ready.

Wu Qing was jealous and she really wanted to make one for herself to celebrate her birthday.

After He Cui finished one, she immediately made the next one. The difference was that after the lotus flower was shaped, she did not stick it directly to the base. Instead, she added a little something to the tip of each petal.

rouge?!

Wu Qing was shocked. "How dare you, that little bit is given out every quarter, and it's still useful?"

That little bit of rouge on the tip of the petals makes the whole lotus lantern no longer plain, but exceptionally delicate and beautiful.

But Wu Qing also knew that in order to prevent the palace maids from fawning over their masters, only a little rouge was distributed every quarter, and it could only be used at large palace banquets to showcase the splendor of the palace.

He Cui made a hushed gesture. "I saved up this much money all year long, and I'm giving it to my sister. It's her birthday, so it's better to have something festive and red."

Wu Qing poked He Cui's forehead, not knowing what to say. Her eyes reddened. She sniffed hard to stop the tears from flowing.

This girl has been saving this for a year!

"Sister, don't stay in the house today. Let's go to the Imperial Tea House and eat noodles. I'm afraid the noodles won't taste good if we bring them back."

"Okay!" Wu Qing nodded and stood up.

Watching He Cui put away the river lanterns, they left Desheng Hall together and walked to the imperial tea and kitchen.

There was no egg on the noodles. Wu Qing thought a bowl of plain noodles would be nice, but He Cui brought the noodles over and whispered, "Don't let anyone see under the noodles."

When Wu Qing was eating, she found that there was not only an egg, but also a piece of delicious braised meat.

No one around had any, so I guess it’s not something that ordinary palace servants can eat.

It was not convenient to ask in the Imperial Tea and Kitchen. When Wu Qing stood up to leave, He Tian followed her again. Wu Qing thought she should ask after returning to her residence.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the Imperial Tea and Food Room, He Tian looked over at him with a smile and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Wu Qing was confused and didn't wait for her to react.

He Cui turned around and squatted towards He Tian, ​​"Thank you very much!"

Wu Qing: "What's going on? Why do I seem to be the only one who doesn't know?"

"The things you added to your bowl were given by Hetian at the request of his lover Chunying."

Haru Sakura is a powerful character?!

No, He Tian is a eunuch, his lover?!

Although Wu Qing's legs and feet were still moving, she was completely stunned.

There are more melons to eat!

What's going on? Can anyone tell me the reason?

Thinking in her heart, she glanced at the rice field again and again. After looking at it for a while, she realized something was wrong. Could it be that this melon had been eaten before? She couldn't ask again.

She said, "Thank you Hetian, and thank Sister Chunying for me."

I remember that last time she asked He Cui to help apply medicine, she talked about Chunying, saying that she was the top maid in the Empress Dowager's palace and was very trusted by the Empress Dowager.

Nothing else was said.

Wu Qing's gossip fire was already burning in her heart, but she happened to be the first one to eat the melons. She couldn't even open her mouth to ask, which made her extremely anxious.

He Cui saw Wu Qing's eyes and couldn't help laughing. "Don't say too much on the way. I'll tell my sister when I get back."

It was not until the two of them sat in Xifeng Pavilion that Wu Qing realized that so many things had happened in the past few days.

Hetian and Chunying grew up together. Chunying's grandfather was a scholar, but her father failed to pass the imperial examination and refused to go out to work. He didn't study very well but insisted on pretending to be a scholar. In the end, he couldn't make a living, so the palace was recruiting people, and her father sold her to the palace.

When Chunying entered the palace, Hetian said that he would wait for her forever, but he didn't expect that a locust plague would break out three years later. In order to leave a way for his younger brother and sister-in-law to survive, and to be able to see Chunying, Hetian sold himself to the palace.

As soon as Hetian saw Chunying, Chunying burst into tears. After crying, everyone had already arrived, so that was it.

Hetian was very stingy and kept all his monthly salary. When the Ninth Prince came back, he was afraid that Chunying would leave the palace at any time after giving it to the Ninth Prince, so he gave Chunying all the monthly salary and rewards he had received since entering the palace.

Let Chunying take care of herself in the future. He is already in a broken body and will not be a burden to Chunying.

Chunying didn't cry this time, but just said that she would not marry anyone other than Hetian.

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! This is a great story! How can love be purer than this? It’s pure spiritual love.

"Hetian agreed without any excuses?" Wu Qingxue asked with bright eyes.

"They just found a place where no one was around to chat, so how would I know what happened next? Anyway, I saw He Tian was always happy these days, so I knew it was a good thing!" He Cui giggled.

Wu Qing felt that the taste of the melon was a little unsatisfactory.

After eating half of the melon, He Cui took out the dried lotus lantern and asked, "Sister, do you want to pray for blessings?"

Wu Qing didn't know what this meant, so she replied, "You go first, let me think about it." In fact, she wanted to see what He Cui would do.

He Cui took a pen and wrote a few words on the petals, then looked at Wu Qing with the pen in hand.

Wu Qing understood and said, "Please write 'Bring the Beauty Home' for me."

He Cui widened her eyes in surprise, "Sister, do you know what you are talking about?"

Wu Qing said seriously, "I know, I wish everyone in the world to 'marry the beauty', right?"

"Okay, okay, I'll write whatever you say, sister."

"Write it down quickly." I just want to win the beauty, so what? If you knew who I'm thinking about, you would be scared to death!

After it got dark, Wu Qing followed He Cui to the West Palace. Wu Qing had never been here before, and only then did she discover that there was a Jade Belt River running vertically from north to south through the entire palace.

This river is diverted from the mountain behind the palace. The water is clear and cold.

It seems that the lanterns will also flow out of the palace along the river. Wu Qing felt a little sad for no reason: these river lanterns are freer than people.

But in a flash of thought, he thought about the chance he had saved for another life, and his heart immediately jumped up again.

He Cui pulled Wu Qing with one hand and walked to the place closest to the Yudai River. They squatted down and released river lanterns.

He Cui muttered, "There are more people coming. There will be more people soon. Let's go quickly!"

Wu Qing agreed in her heart, she didn't want to squeeze with too many people.

In this kind of place and at this time, the book says: If nothing unexpected happens, another accident will happen.

Don't get yourself into trouble when that happens.

Just as I was thinking about it, a figure flashed past in my peripheral vision.

Not only Wu Qing noticed it, many people stretched their heads to look, because the man was too tall among the palace servants.

Helian Han! Why is he here?

How could he sneak out during the Ghost Festival to worship ancestors?

Since the emperor is not here, shouldn't he be in the Taimiao?

Wu Qing's mind was full of question marks as she stared at Helian Han's figure as he walked further and further away.

This is the palace releasing river lanterns. Most of the people who come are palace servants, and there are not many masters. Seeing this tall and mighty person, no one should want to push anyone into the river.

Wu Qing had chemotherapy for one week every month for the first six months of her life. She couldn't do anything during the chemotherapy and could only watch TV series whenever she was awake. She was poisoned by the TV series. She thought to herself that even if she knew how to use water, she wouldn't be able to use it today, so she had to leave quickly.

She withdrew her gaze and turned to leave when she heard a plop sound behind her...

Wu Qing knew someone had fallen into the water without looking back. How could this be as melodramatic as a TV drama?

Besides, she didn’t remember such a thing…never mind, it’s not important.

When someone fell into the water, Wu Qing couldn't just stand by and watch. And how many people in ancient times could swim?

Wu Qing turned around and ran towards the river. She wasn't far away anyway, so it didn't take her long to get back to the river.

From a distance, one could see a human hand floating in the water, while the shore was in chaos.

As she ran to the river, she began to look at what she could take off. She had already taken off as much of her outer robe as possible, as this thing could drag her to death in the water without saving anyone.

Wu Qing jumped into the water and swam towards the hand. Soon she was near the drowning person.

Although she may not be good at other things, Wu Qing can almost be considered a professional when it comes to rescuing people from the water. Yes, almost.

As a person who lives by the sea, my grandfather was a volunteer lifeguard at the seaside in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and so was my father. They both went to the sea and saved people after work.

Wu Qing is good at swimming. She has often heard her grandfather and father talk about the key points of saving people since she was a child. However, she has a lot of theoretical knowledge and has only practiced with her father, but has never really saved anyone.

This is her first time.

She determined the position of the drowning person's back and waited for a moment. She knew that the strength of a drowning person was enough to drag an adult male to death, let alone her who was not tall.

The person in the water had almost no strength left, so she approached from behind, picked up the person in the water, lifted her head out of the water, and swam with her to the shore.

But the drowning man's clothes were still floating towards her. She dodged left and right and finally pushed the man to the shore.

The person was pushed up here and was received by a palace maid. Wu Qing was also entangled by her skirt... She used her hands and feet to climb up to the shore and fell three times. Cui'er squeezed to the shore, walked a few steps into the water, and reached out to pull her.

But it couldn't help her feet. The skirt was tangled around her legs, making it difficult for her to walk. It would step on her feet after she took every two steps. She wished she could take it off completely.

She struggled to take two steps forward, and when she stepped down, she not only stepped on her skirt, but also slipped.

There were people on the shore just now, but seeing that they couldn't help her or for some other reason, they turned around and left to see the person she had just rescued. Only Cui'er was left there, and she couldn't reach her. Seeing Wu Qing backing up and almost falling into the river again, Cui'er cried out.

"Miss Wu!" Wu Qing usually didn't let Cui'er call her that, because she knew she was not that kind of person at all.

Cui'er was quick-witted and shouted loudly. Her name worked well and someone came over immediately, holding out a long pole to Wu Qing.

Wu Qing grabbed one end of the long pole and was pulled up by everyone on the shore.

After great effort, they finally crawled and dragged themselves ashore. Wu Qing no longer cared about anything else and lay down on the shore as soon as she let go.

The outer robe had been taken off long ago, and the inner collar was now completely stuck to the body.

Wu Qing's breathing had just calmed down a little when a rapid and sad cry suddenly broke through the air: "Sister, sister, Seventh Sister——" This cry was like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the tranquility around her, and making Wu Qing suddenly realize that the person she had just rescued was on the verge of life and death.

Her heart tightened, and before she had time to think, her body had already moved before her consciousness.

Wu Qing struggled to stand up, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her skirt which was extremely heavy due to being soaked. The fabric seemed to have become a heavy shackle, and every movement required a huge amount of strength.

Grit your teeth, bend your knees slightly, and use the momentum to lift the hem of your skirt high to minimize any obstruction as you move forward.

While stumbling, Wu Qing struggled to push through the crowded crowd with a determination that was almost like a fight for survival.

The density of the crowd was beyond imagination, and everyone's face was filled with shock and concern, but at this moment they became obstacles in Wu Qing's way forward.

Every push from Wu Qing was accompanied by rapid panting. The sweat and the water on her hair flowed down her forehead and into her eyes, blurring her vision.

But she had no way to stop, and there was only one thought in her mind - hurry up and save people!

As she stumbled and struggled to push through the outermost layer of the crowd, the scene before her made her heart tremble.

Among the kneeling figures, two palace maids covered their faces and cried bitterly, feeling helpless and desperate.

And a man, his face distorted with sorrow, was holding tightly to the life she had just snatched back from the hands of death.

There was no time to hesitate; every second was crucial. She took a deep breath, steadying her body, which was shaking from the intense exercise, and shouted, "Get out of the way! I can save her!"

The voice was full of determination and unquestionable power, ready to penetrate all obstacles.

Everyone present was startled and unconsciously made way.

A nanny walked over a few steps, but Wu Qing didn't notice her. She held up her skirt and tried to get to the drowning person as quickly as possible.

But she didn't expect that the nanny who came from the side would swing her arm and slap her in the face. "Pa!" The slap was really powerful, and Wu Qing didn't dodge, so she staggered.

But he also heard the old maid screaming: "You lowly slave, you swam to the master, why didn't you save her?"
