Chapter 5:

The habit of decades of being like a day has already melted into the flesh and blood of the palace people. The clapper of the fourth watch outside has just knocked, and Huiming, who is lying on the head of the kang, immediately opened his eyes.
Today it is her turn to be on duty.
It’s late in the winter, and after the hour, the room is dark and heart-shattering. Qiuya on the side seems to have noticed the movement of the people around him getting up. She opened her eyes slightly and gave her a vague blow. With a greeting, he turned over and fell asleep in a daze.
There are not many opportunities for the maid to sleep in. Huiming didn’t bother her when she saw it. He touched the black kang, mixed with the hot water that had been warmed on the brazier last night, and gently cleaned up and covered himself. With the azure jacket that had just been brought last month, he came out of the house.
The snow has stopped, and only the crescent is falling diagonally in the air. The faint clear light reflects the accumulated white snow, but it is not worrying to see the foot, accompanied by the creaking and squeaking. Ming then stepped into the Hall of Condemnation from the side door under the cold light of the place.
It’s time for the palace staff to change shifts. In addition to your majesty’s sleeping quarters, there is also a quiet dimness separated by layers of curtains. The western hall has already been lit with candles and busy with errands, and the servants’ palace maids are walking silently. Shattered steps, flowing water, coming and going, the huge Palace of Condemnation, but never made any sound. Sometimes there are people who need to talk to each other, and they are all simple and clear words that are pressed against the throat. , More than just a wink, they all know what to do.
Huiming stood at the door and froze for a moment. He raised his eyes and saw Aunt Wei, who was in charge of the Palace of Gande, beckoned to her. When Huiming walked closer, he lowered his throat and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty woke up twice last night. Maybe you want to see people. You should prepare all the hair straps. When you are not feeling well, you can pick up whatever is comfortable and light. Don't toss about the burden."
Aunt Wei is the aunt in charge of the imperial front. She was born as a female secretary. She has a gentle temperament, but she is careful and cautious. She has almost never made any mistakes. Although she is a little older and no longer sleeps, she is still the most comfortable envoy of the imperial driver. Her Majesty’s personal court lady, her majesty said two years earlier, she promised her the future of a harem nobleman, if it weren't for your majesty's side to be inseparable from such a caring person to serve, she would have become a serious master.
Because of this, Aunt Wei’s position in the Palace of Gande is very detached. Although she still bears the name of the palace, she has a little master's style, and she ignores the trivial matters next to her. He devoted himself to his majesty's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and none of the dozen or so female magistrates in the imperial court had asked her to teach them.
And Huiming, who walked through the road of Su Gonggong, is the top priority of Aunt Wei's attention. Don't say that when she first came, she had been working in the imperial front for two years, and when she was already familiar with errands, Wei My aunt also told her several times every day, as if she was not bad at all without the help of others.
Remembering this, Hui Ming didn't say anything, but silently bowed his knees, and went to the apse compartment, took out a small copper key to open the gilt wooden box, and found one according to Aunt Wei’s instructions. The pure gold satin hairband toe cap, this is a fine material from Yunzhou, and only a few moires are embroidered with thin feather threads on the top. It is properly used, and it will not be horrible. Only a piece of it is dropped under the head. Concentric warm jade buckle.
The jade buckle is not the size of a copper coin, and it is warm jade. It doesn't matter to you to say it, but after Huiming looked at the jade buckle for a while, he simply took out the needle and thread.
It wasn't that Huiming was troubled, but she suddenly remembered that when she took this hairband in her last life and waited out, Aunt Wei saw it and said that this jade buckle might cluck your majesty and give orders in front of everyone. She understood, and almost missed the time of serving.
At that time, Huiming was flushed with embarrassment at the various eyes of the people at that time. He couldn't wait to find a place to get in. He didn't even dare to look up at people for several days, but now that I think about it, it's just a river. The unusual Xiao Langhua, if she hadn't seen the jade clasp at this moment, she wouldn't have thought of it at all.
But now that he remembered it, Huiming would naturally not wait for the same thing to do it again. After removing the jade clasp, he carefully read all the things he took out, and when he was sure there was nothing wrong, he carried it. The landscape wooden lacquer tray filled with ornaments stood firmly outside the bedroom.
In contrast, Si Shi is a light job, and it is also the least numbered among the imperial maids. After waiting for two more cups of tea, Huiming stood outside the tent, and saw that the two court ladies also served. Lacquer trays came one after another.
These two are biological sisters, both with round faces and curvy eyebrows, tender and lovable. Originally, the palace was sent to the house to sleep. It's just that your majesty has not been good for young girls in recent years. Although they are also watery, they are very long. Childish, he simply called for a change of errand, first doing the suit and then a few years older.
The imperial maids all use tea in the name. Huiming still remembers that the two sisters screamed at each other, and the little one called Yugan. They were just like the two of them. They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, but they couldn’t tell who was older. .
Fortunately, your Majesty is still lying in it, and the ladies are not qualified to greet and laugh, and it is not a hindrance to Huiming to be unable to distinguish the names. At the moment, both sides just bowed their heads and gave way, slightly invisible. Nodding, it is considered to have asked each other.
If it was an ordinary time, it would have been the time for your Majesty to get up, but now that the dragon body has not healed from the weight of the disease, I can’t say when it will wait. The rest of the palace maid serving tea and water is afraid of the water. When he came in, he waited outside with a porcelain pot of tea, so that he could cash in the hot water.
People like them, who have practiced standing skills since childhood, stood in the same place, recalling the appearance and names of the remaining maids, and as the light in the hall lit up, finally came from the tent. The secretary's palace lady Yunhua's joyous voice: "Your Majesty is awake?"
Accompanied by this sound, the entire Hall of Qiande moved as if woken up by something, and a few small inner monitors came in at the door to put away the curtains of the bed, and the whole hall instantly lit up, and Aunt Wei came out to say hello. The ladies of the food court guarding the outside gargle and wash the warm water and tea into the dragon bed one by one, and Aunt Wei will take care of the washing.
Huiming and the two sisters of Yukou Yugan took a few steps away in silence. Although your majesty is awake, but he is still ill, he needs to be seen by an imperial doctor first. If you still can’t get up, they are outsiders. Clothes accessories still have to be put away.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the concubine to be sick in the side hall to blow into the inner hall like a gust of wind. After another cup of tea, Grandpa Su took it, and two more white-bearded imperial doctors came in outside. Holding the medicine box, respectfully kneeling outside the tent to bow down.
Su Jin obviously also saw Huiming on the side. The two eyes met, but he still nodded slightly, so he immediately turned and went into the Yuqian, and after a few words, he asked the imperial physician to enter.
After a while, the few palace ladies who had just carried the water and holding the handkerchief all backed out, quietly standing behind Huiming, and then Aunt Wei, who served next to your Majesty, came out to confirm Huiming. The clothes and accessories he prepared seemed to have been relieved a lot, and he was already energetic to summon foreign ministers.
Huiming stood steadily, allowing Aunt Wei to look at it like this. He thought that there would be nothing wrong, but after seeing the jade buckle she removed, she frowned slightly and said with concern: "You remove it. With this concentric buckle, you know it carefully, but if you tell someone you don’t know, you’ll be careless if you don’t know, and even use the buckled hairband on your Majesty. Isn’t it our fault?"
"Serving by your Majesty's side, it's good to be willing to be attentive, I'm afraid that if you have used it, you will be smart." Aunt Wei's words are still soft and gentle as always, but the content of the words is impressive. The more I listened, the more I was shocked.
Last time, she did not take down the jade buckle in a cumbersome manner. Aunt Wei said in public that she was not careful enough when she was a errand. This time, she did what Aunt Wei said, but she lost another clever and deliberate attitude?
Huiming's complexion remained unchanged, but the palm of his hand holding the lacquer tray was slightly hard, without even having to look up, he had clearly noticed the unhappy gazes of the ladies of the palace around him, even the previous ones. The two sisters, Yugan, both intentionally or unintentionally gave in, and moved further away from her.
Yes, the imperial palace maiden was originally chosen from a hundred miles, and the most important place to travel to the pond. She relied on "feeding each other" with Grandpa Su, and that’s it. After being involved, which one can be really happy? Being bored with alienation is simply the most normal reaction.
In this way, she has been isolated by everyone consciously or unconsciously in the Palace of Condemnation in her previous life. Apart from her self-sufficient and unflattering behavior, how many people have ulterior motives to instigate her?
If you live again, if you still can't detect Aunt Wei's stupid heart, and intentionally slander her, Huiming will really be a bad guy in Yuqianbai for so many years, and he has noticed that there is something wrong, and then Aunt Wei's actions afterwards After a good time in my heart, Hui Ming's eyes grew deeper and deeper.
Although she had also noticed Aunt Wei’s dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with her in her previous life, it is indeed normal for her to dislike her as a maid of the imperial chief, if it were not. Because of the opportunity of rebirth, Huiming would never think of her future as Aunt Wei and secretly slander her as a little palace lady, Song Huiming.
If it wasn't the time, Hui Ming would be flattered.
Many thoughts flashed in his mind, but Hui Ming just bowed his head and looked down at the situation, waiting to thank the other party for his "kindness" according to the rules, and then it came again. Grandpa Su's deep voice: "What's the matter?"
