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

He Cui nodded to Wu Qing to show her agreement.

Wu Qing watched He Cui pack up her dishes and take them to the table. She then packed up her dishes and walked behind He Cui.

Just as the two were about to leave, a sudden voice broke in between them.

The voice was neither high nor low, but it was an indescribable tone, a bit like an underage child, and it was hard to tell whether it was male or female, which made people look sideways.

The voice came from behind Wu Qing, with a hint of curiosity: "Hey, when did our sister Qing start to learn to care about others? I thought your heart was occupied by those flowers and plants!"

Wu Qing turned her head slightly and saw a little eunuch following behind her. Not knowing the other person's name, she could only smile back.

He Cui walked ahead without looking back, "Have you been to Chunying again? If you don't come back, we're all leaving."

The young eunuch smiled a little embarrassedly and followed He Cui and Wu Qing.

Wu Qing understood immediately that this was also a colleague in the palace.

The young eunuch said, "If I don't go to Chunying to chat for a while, how can I tell stories to my sisters?"

He Cui continued to walk forward, whispering, "What stories can the Queen Mother tell?"

The eunuch's voice was filled with pride. "Of course we have. The Queen Mother is particularly happy today. She was thinking of some of His Highness the Ninth Prince's favorite dishes and even ordered the Imperial Kitchen to prepare the ingredients."

He Cui's voice also became excited, "Hey, does that mean the Ninth Prince is about to come back?" Although it was clearly a question, she said it with great certainty.

The young eunuch was also happy. "The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are both delighted that His Highness the Ninth Prince has returned. Not only will the recent errands be easier, but there will definitely be rewards."

It’s the Ninth Prince again. Half of the people in this palace are talking about the Ninth Prince!

After hearing these words, Wu Qing guessed that the Ninth Prince was most likely the Emperor's biological brother from the same mother, and they had a very good relationship.

I remembered that when the damn emperor saw Gu Shixin dead, he managed not to faint and personally drove the car to welcome Gu Shixin into the palace. He didn't faint until he saw his ninth brother.

She must have fainted after seeing her ninth brother. The two of them really have an extraordinary relationship.

Finally, he adopted his ninth brother's child, named him the crown prince, and became the next emperor.

She remembered that the book introduced the ninth brother, but unfortunately she skipped a lot of content. She only remembered that this man had a bad temper and others thought he was sinister, but the emperor and the empress dowager liked him, and he really cared about the people of Dayu. In the end, he was exhausted to death.

Unfortunately, too much content was skipped, so it’s not clear what kind of person this is.

Wu Qing thought about how she served in the emperor's bedroom, and knowing these things was really a compulsory course.

Only after leaving the Imperial Tea and Kitchen did she realize how wise it was to go with others.

She watched He Cui and the young eunuch chatting with each other as they came out of the imperial tea and food room, and she also heard the young eunuch's name was "He Tian".

Remembering the story about the Ninth Prince in the book, she also mustered up the courage to join the two of them and find something to talk about.

Gu Shixin has not left the palace yet, and he has begun to have constant conflicts with Helian Hao. At this point in time, the Ninth Prince should be sixteen or seventeen years old, and it is time for him to leave the palace and set up his own residence.

Wu Qing asked, "Now that His Highness the Ninth Prince has returned, is the Emperor planning to grant him a house and set up his own residence outside the palace?"

He Tian said, "Yes! The Queen Mother is also concerned about this matter. She wants to pick some useful people for His Highness the Ninth Prince. It would be great if Chunying could be chosen."

He Cui, who had been walking in front, turned around and glanced at He Tian after hearing this: "Are you serious? Are you really willing to let her leave the palace?"

He Tian, ​​who was originally jumping around, suddenly became silent.

This silence made Wu Qing feel something, so she went to look at Hetian as well. But he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Just then the three of them walked around a corner, and the two people they saw suddenly straightened up.

Wu Qing also hurriedly followed suit, thinking to herself: It seems there is still a lot to learn!

The three of them walked together on the way back to Desheng Hall. The stone pavement under their feet was smooth all the way, and the occasional chirping of insects around them intertwined into a melody unique to early autumn.

Wu Qing walked all the way with it, her eyes and brain busy taking notes of the path she had taken.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have an initial map or something, just build one in your mind.

The sun has quietly slipped into the western sky, and the afterglow pours down on the palace walls and glazed tiles like molten gold, coating every bluestone slab and every carved wooden pillar with a light golden edge, while also generously sprinkling the scorching sun, filling this ancient space with a subtle warmth and laziness.

Along the way, Wu Qing also thought of another thing: what position did her previous incarnation serve in this hall?

I only know that she's in charge of the flowers and trees. Does that mean she's solely responsible for all the flowers and trees in this temple? Or is there a division of labor?

Wu Qing was still following He Cui with her thoughts, but He Cui stopped and turned to look at her, "Sister, do you want to come to my room and sit?" After asking this, she pursed her lips and blinked her eyes, obviously very confused.

Only then did Wu Qing realize that He Cui had walked to a row of small houses, and the young eunuch named He Tian was no longer behind her. It seemed that he had returned to his own residence.

Wu Qing was stunned. She stared at the dimple on He Cui's face, trying to figure out what she had done wrong. She asked uncertainly, "It's okay. What's wrong?"

"I thought my sister wanted to come to my room and sit for a while!" He Cui looked disappointed.

"Ah?" Wu Qing thought for a moment and came up with an idea. She looked up blankly and said, "I wanted to ask Cui'er if she has any medicine?"

"What medicine?" He Cui didn't know that Wu Qing had fallen. Although her clothes looked a little dirty, she hadn't asked yet.

Wu Qing turned her head and pointed to the bump on the back of her head. "Cui'er, look at this bump on me. It hurts so much that I feel dizzy."

She felt He Cui's hand gently push aside the hair at the back of her head and touch her scalp. Unexpectedly, that place was particularly sensitive. Wu Qing hissed and instinctively wanted to hide, but stopped.

"Such a big bump?! Was my sister beaten by someone?" He Cui's voice was a little tense.

He Cui said it unintentionally, but Wu Qing was startled. She didn't show it on the surface and said with a wry smile, "I fell while walking."

Wu Qing thought back to the road she'd walked on when she woke up. At least within her sight, there weren't any large rocks. It was a very smooth road. How could she have gotten such a large bump on the back of her head, right at ear level? Had she really been beaten?

"Did he fall on the threshold? That doesn't make sense. It looks like he fell twice. Did he roll down the stairs?" He Cui muttered softly, and without waiting for Wu Qing to answer, she said, "Sister, come in. I really have medicine."

He Cui went into the room and took out a medicine bottle from the cabinet. She turned around and handed it to Wu Qing. Frowning, she asked in embarrassment, "You're supposed to rub the bruises open, but can you rub the spot where you fell?"

Wu Qing took the bottle. This wasn't her main purpose, so she hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you so much. I don't dare rub it either. Could you please come to my room, spread your hair, and help me apply the medicine?"

That’s right, her purpose was to have someone tell her where she lived.

"Okay, I'm not busy right now. I'll help you wipe it and then tidy up your hair." He Cui agreed very readily after hearing this.

Wu Qing really didn’t know how to thank He Cui. She was like a timely helper!

Not only did she follow He Cui back to her residence, but the two of them also chatted intermittently while removing her hair, applying medicine, and combing her hair.

From He Cui, I learned that the other palace maids and eunuchs lived in pairs in a room, but Wu Qing came later and had a room of her own. So as soon as Wu Qing asked for help, He Cui came to help, because she knew that there was no one else in her room who could help her apply the medicine.

I also learned that this original body was mainly responsible for the maintenance of flowers and trees outside Desheng Hall, and the most important task was the small garden outside Xifeng Pavilion.

All the flowers and trees in the palace were originally managed by Fengchen Garden under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and not every small garden had a dedicated person to guard the flowers and trees.

Wu Qing recalled that in the original text, Gu Shixin was practicing martial arts in a small garden. He saw a few dead trees still standing in the garden and said, "Send someone from Fengchen Garden to clean it up."

When Helian Hao found out, he was very unhappy. He felt that Gu Shixin was being neglected. Something was bothering him. How could that be? He punished the people in Fengchenyuan.

The chief eunuch Su He, eunuch Su, immediately arranged for someone to take care of the flowers and trees in this small garden. He also observed the man for a while and found that he was an honest person who only knew how to tend to the flowers and plants. So he kept him in Desheng Hall and was considered a member of this place.

At this point, Wu Qing also thought about why others were given names, but her original name was Wu Qing.

Because the other people basically came into Desheng Hall to serve together, the emperor gave them all names based on what he thought of.

For example: Qinghe, Qingmiao, Hecui, Hetian... Those people were all assigned to the emperor after he moved his bedroom to Desheng Hall. After the emperor listened to the ministers' reports on rainfall and seedling conditions in various places, he came out and saw the new palace maids, so he gave them these green names.

The predecessor was a later person who took care of flowers and trees. It is estimated that he had never appeared in front of the emperor, so he retained his real name.

By the way, Wu Qing thought of the original body, and the author also mentioned it.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer last year, a young palace maid who was in charge of flowers and trees accidentally fell while pulling out a weed. She muttered, "The weeds are not big, but the roots are small." The Ninth Prince happened to hear it while passing by.

The Ninth Prince was assigned the task of repairing the Baihe River embankment outside Beijing. He found out that the embankment there had been damaged in recent years due to strong winds, and the planted trees were always uprooted by the strong winds.

Hearing the maid's words, he became interested and walked up to her and asked, "Is this weed stronger than other grass roots?"

The young maiden didn't realize the person next to her in military uniform was the Ninth Prince. She thought he was a guard and replied, "Not really. It's just a little sturdier than these flowers. If you want sturdier roots, it's the reeds. Before entering the palace, I dug up a whole one. It was twice as tall as me!"

The Ninth Prince's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is only the one you dug out longer, or are they all longer?"

The young palace maid was completely oblivious. "They are all growing. We dig them every year. They are all growing very long."

The Ninth Prince asked again, "Why do you dig up reed roots every year?"

The book says that the ignorant palace maid laughed at the time and said, "Reed roots can be used as medicine. We can dig them up, wash them, dry them, and sell them for money."

After hearing this, His Majesty the Ninth Prince left with light in his eyes.

He was anxious to repair the riverbank before the rainy season came, so he left in a hurry...

Wu Qing couldn't remember anything else about this little palace maiden's previous life. She had a bad habit of only liking to watch the plots involving the protagonist's tragic love and skipping all other plots.

The only reason he could look at the little palace maid a few more times was because she had the same name as him. Now he regrets it so much that his intestines have turned blue and black.

After He Cui left, Wu Qing chose the latter between being familiar with her residence and working environment.

Because it was a palace maid's living quarters, there was a cabinet next to the bed. The room was so narrow that you had to take one step to reach the door after getting out of bed. There was not even a table or chair, so there was really nothing to see.

Wu Qing quietly walked around the entire Desheng Hall, pretending to check the flowers and trees, but in fact she was looking for any passable areas, any small doors, or any areas that were guarded and unable to pass.

Fortunately, she was a palace maid in this courtyard and did not attract the attention of others.

Compared to a palace, Desheng Hall is not very big. In addition to the flowers and trees in front of the main hall, there are also flowers and trees in front of the doors of the side halls on the east and west sides.

The open space between the east and west side buildings and the rear hall is also planted with flowers and trees, and there are more of them than in front of the main hall, making it look like two small gardens.

On the west side of the apse, on the north side of the western backyard, there is a temple with the inscription, "Holy Joy Hall";

On the east side of the rear hall and the north side of the east backyard, there is a hall with the words "Dong'an Hall" written on it.

Wu Qing originally guessed that these two places belonged to the small kitchen and the hot spring, but she couldn't tell anything from the names.

It was He Cui who mentioned that there was a small kitchen behind the Desheng Hall and a hot spring pool exclusively for the emperor.

The small kitchen actually did not prepare imperial meals, but was only used to prepare snacks for the emperor. The emperor was often too busy to make breakfast and dinner, and when he was hungry, meals could not be served at any time, so snacks were specially prepared in this place.

Apart from the imperial chef, only four first-class palace maids and two first-rank eunuchs can enter this small kitchen, and there are guards guarding the door.

As for the hot spring pool used exclusively by the emperor, it was not allowed to be used by the emperor himself, not even by the beauties in the palace. It was only given to generals and kings.

When talking about this, He Cui's face was full of longing and envy, and her eyes were shining. She said: "I dare not even think about bathing there. If I could go in and see what it is like inside, I would be satisfied!"

He Cui didn't dare to think about it, but Wu Qing did. She wanted to experience it in the emperor's private bath... But her mind was full of pornographic garbage. Thinking that the two people might have used it together, she suddenly felt that she couldn't look at that place directly.

Eating melons is eating melons, and supporting couples is supporting couples. They had done it in the bathhouse, forget it, she didn't plan to experience it.

After going around in circles, Wu Qing had an idea in her mind, but she didn't know which tree had withered and blocked Gu Shixin's eyes.

She also thought that she was in charge of flowers and trees, and she really shouldn't show up in front of the two male protagonists. She was probably sent out because one of the male protagonists saw her doing the errand of getting pens and ink in the morning.

Then the two White Bone Demons became jealous. It was not easy to survive in the workplace in ancient times!

At this point, I have roughly figured out the unexpected disaster that I just encountered.

Wu Qing thought about it again. It was not that she judged people by their appearance. Qinghe was a beautiful and kind person, while Qingmiao had eyes and a mind like a fox.

Just now, when she was walking around the perimeter of Desheng Palace, she also saw the residences of other palace servants. Following the pattern of assignment, Wu Qing guessed the residence of the top-ranking palace maid in this palace.

In order to survive in the future, she decided to go and see.
