2. The maidservant was rewarded by heaven’s grace
Today is only the end of September, and there are still three months until New Year's Eve. The emperor issued the decree so early, presumably to declare to the world that Princess Jinnian will still be the princess of Yujin Kingdom, even if she has bad luck again.
A man in a green cotton robe came from outside the door, holding a bucket of hot water in his hand. The chilblains on his hands were starting to turn purple and scab, so he must have asked the imperial doctor for the bottle of chilblain ointment to be effective.
"Shui Bi, today, I poured the water I finished washing into Basho, and don't mention it in the ditch outside. The weather is getting colder. You should also wash up and go to bed early. Tomorrow, you can accompany me there.
Moon Lotus Pond."
After a dreamless night, when I got up in the morning, Shui Bi had already prepared a shawl and cotton-padded jacket. Looking again, there were two more maids beside Shui Bi. They were about the same age as Shui Bi. One of them stood with his head bowed and his hair was clean.
Neatly, when one saw Chu Jinnian waking up, he was a little embarrassed, crossing his arms, biting his lip and trembling.
Chu Jinnian looked at Shui Bi, wondering what he meant. Shui Bi took the coat and draped it on her shoulders. The maid with neat buns bowed and saluted, "Slave Qing Yue, Qing He meets the princess." She tugged.
The maids around him all bowed to Chu Jinnian.
"Get up, how long have you been in the palace?" Chu Jinnian opened the quilt and was about to put on her shoes. Qingyue, with quick eyes and quick hands, knelt down and helped her put on her shoes. Her movements were experienced and gentle. Qinghe on one side also picked up her shoes from the sandalwood hanger.
He took her cotton-padded jacket and shawl.
"Reporting to the princess, it has been a year since I and Qing He entered the palace." Qing Yue's answer was neither humble nor overbearing, and she was a man of integrity.
"Which palace did you seek employment in before?!"
"My servant and Qinghe are both in the Huaxiang Bureau. They are the maids in the Huaxiang Bureau."
The Flower and Fragrance Bureau is a place where spices are made for the princes, concubines, empresses and emperors in the palace. Chu Jinnian has almost no dealings with them, and her monthly salary here cannot afford her to put in the effort to make any spices.
After getting dressed, I felt a little warm, and after drinking yellow rice and jujube porridge, Chu Jinnian called Shui Bi to go with her to Yue He Pond, Qing Yue and Qing He. Chu Jinnian asked them to get some flowers and plants for me.
.They stayed at the Flower and Fragrance Bureau for a year. Qingyue was a thoughtful and thoughtful person. She asked them to get some flowers and plants for her, which was more or less a test of their ability.
The Moon Lotus Pond is the largest lotus pond in the palace. Although the more luxurious palaces all have ponds, and some lotus plants are planted in the ponds, when spring comes, only the Moon Lotus Pond has the scene of fields of lotus leaves. Heavy snowfall in winter
The Moon Lotus Pond is covered up. The Moon Lotus Pond looks like a sea of snow. When a layer of snow is peeled away, a thick layer of ice forms on the lotus pond.
"Shui Bi, find a place with a slightly shallower water level. Bring an ice shovel and I'll dig out some lotus roots." Chu Jinnian put cotton gloves on her hands. When winter came, she also made them for Shui Bi.
I bought a pair, and Shui Bi found it troublesome to wear them when working, so she didn't wear them often. The frostbite on her hands still came back as expected.
Shui Bi handed over the ice shovel. Under the snow, the ice was completely transparent, with some grass still green. The water was clear and transparent, and you could see the lotus roots inside. Chu Jinnian used the ice shovel to draw a boundary first.
Then chip away at the ice layer little by little.
The creaking sound came again, and a hundred feet away from Chu Jinnian, the man in the wheelchair turned and left. This was the second time she saw him. His figure was thin, even though he was wearing a thick brocade robe.
But he couldn't hide his thin cheeks.
Thin water seeped out slowly. Chu Jinnian dug hard and a big hole appeared in the ice. The water was not too deep. Half of the lotus roots were in the mud and half in the water. I had good luck today. I only needed my hands.
Simply reach in and pull out the lotus roots. There is no need to use a stick to search for and dig out the lotus roots.
"Princess, it's almost noon. The father-in-law and nanny who are having lunch are about to deliver the food. Princess, if you come back early, you can just let the father-in-law and nanny who are having lunch bring the lotus roots to the royal kitchen, and you can also bring the dinner."
Shui Bi helped Chu Jinnian up, took the lotus root from her hand, and put cotton gloves on her.
"Well, okay. I'll be back soon." Chu Jinnian glanced at the place where the man left.
