Song Qingjin didn't like the word "servant" very much.But so far, she has slowly gotten used to the word.Who made myself fail to time travel well, instead of becoming a daughter of a thousand golds, she became a cannon fodder female supporting role who had no sense of existence and might be laughed at by others!

However, fortunately, his face has become much better now.Be careful what you do in the palace now.The better she handles the things Xiao Yixuan entrusted to her, the more things she will get.Song Qingjin had already made up her mind. When she had saved enough money, she would leave the capital and find a small town with a good environment and scenery in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River. She would open a few shops and be a proprietress. good.

Seeing her lost in thought, Su Jieyu asked again: "Which palace servant are you?"

Only then did Song Qing come back to her senses in a daze, saluted again, and said: "If you go back to your mother, the slaves are the servants of the old concubine's palace."

The expression on Su Jieyu's face changed.However, Song Qingjin lowered her head and couldn't see the change of expression on her face.She quickly turned around again, smiled and helped Song Qingmei up from the ground, and said, "Thank you just now, if it weren't for you, I must have been bitten by a poisonous snake now, and my life and death are unknown."

Song Qingjin thought silently, don't thank me for this matter, it's better to thank Xiao Yixuan, if it wasn't for his order, I probably wouldn't have so much trouble.However, she still said in her mouth: "What did you say? It is because of your auspiciousness that you can avoid this disaster."

Su Jieyu's body trembled slightly, she held Song Qingmei's hand, and thanked her again: "I am Su Jieyu from this palace. What's your name? Today is thanks to having you."

Concubine Song Qing wanted to salute, but she was grabbed by Su Jieyu, preventing her from kneeling down, and said: "Slave, Song Qing, I have seen Su Jieyu." She looked to one side and said, "Slave This morning, at the order of the old concubine, I came to collect morning dew in the imperial garden, and I met you and met a poisonous snake. It was also a coincidence, the servants also had sulfur in their sleeves from other yards to make lighting stones, snakes I’m afraid of sulphur. I just hope that the empress will not blame the servant for offending you.”

Su Jieyu immediately said: "No offense, no offense. It just so happens that I also came to collect morning dew. It is also fate that you and I can meet here."

Song Qingjin replied with a smile: "Su Jieyu, what you said is that when the old concubine was in the palace, she didn't come out often because she was inconvenient. But sometimes she mentioned you to the slaves, saying that you are knowledgeable about books and etiquette. You are gentle and beautiful, and serve His Majesty very well. Every time the old concubine mentions you, she is full of praise!"

Su Jieyu seemed a little surprised. After a while, a joyful expression appeared on her face: "Really? Is the concubine really saying that about me?"

Song Qingjin nodded, and said, "Returning to Su Jieyu, slaves dare not lie. The concubine really said so."

Su Jieyu lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought for a while.After a while, he raised his head again, showing a bright smile, and waited for her to collect the morning dew, then took Song Qingjin's hand and walked out of the imperial garden.Song Qing concubine pondered for a moment, then persuaded: "If Su Jieyu wants to see the old concubine, she can go if she has time. The old concubine is alone, and she is worried that no one will talk to her!"

Su Jieyu shook her head, and said: "I'm going, I'm afraid I will disturb the quietness of the old concubine, let's forget it."

Seeing what Su Jieyu said, Song Qingmei couldn't speak for herself.She sent Su Jieyu to the door, and was about to leave, but Su Jieyu stopped her and said to her: "Young concubine, if you have time, come to this palace often and talk to me."

Concubine Song Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Your servant obeys orders. Whenever I have time, I will go to your palace to chat with you and relieve boredom."

After seeing off Su Jieyu, Song Qingmei stood there, lost in thought.She always felt that there seemed to be some relationship between Su Jieyu, the old concubine and Xiao Yixuan that could not be disclosed to outsiders.

Song Qingjin thought for a while, and felt that this should be the case.Before Su Jieyu entered the palace, there might have been some past events with Xiao Yixuan, but by chance, Su Jieyu still entered the palace.However, Xiao Yixuan was still worried, so he secretly ordered himself to protect her.Perhaps the old concubine also knew about this matter. There was a past between the empress concubine and the prince, and it would definitely implicate him if she revealed it, so she intentionally avoided Su Jieyu to prevent others from discovering it.

It's no wonder that when she told Su Jieyu to ask her to visit the old concubine's palace, Su Jieyu would straight up refuse.Song Qingjin clenched the morning dew bottle in her hand, then retracted her hand, and when she was about to reach the Shouyan Hall, she saw a little girl running out in a hurry.Song Qingjin immediately grabbed her hand and said, "You're such a brat, what are you going to do?"

The little palace lady was already sweating finely on her forehead, and she told Song Qingjin, "If you go back to Miss Qingjin, someone died in the palace! Another one died!"

Song Qingjin held the little maid's hand a little harder, and asked, "What? What do you mean dead again?"

The little maid was yelling anxiously, as if she was rushing to join in the fun.The speaking speed is also very fast: "Yes! Since last winter, four of them have died!"

Song Qingjin was very surprised.She took two steps back and slowly let go of the little maid's hand.As soon as she was released, she was about to run west.But Song Qingjin came to her senses at this moment, brought the little maid back, and said to her, "Don't join in the fun, go back to work honestly!"

The little maid immediately lost her temper.The spirit head just now was gone at all, and he looked at her a little dejectedly.Song Qingjin looked at her looking a little disappointed, thought for a while, then let her go, and said, "Forget it. You can go and have a look. Come back soon."

The little maid's face immediately turned from sadness to joy, and she thanked Song Qingjin.Song Qingjin did not forget to ask: "Remember, don't tell others that you are from the old concubine's palace. Also, look at how that maid died, and remember to tell me what you saw when you come back."

The little maid immediately agreed.After she left, Song Qingjin returned to the old concubine.The old concubine was not in the palace. According to other court ladies, the old concubine went to the Shoukang Palace where the queen mother used to live to burn incense and worship for her.Song Qingjin was delighted that she was finally not groggy and slept half the day.She sealed the collected morning dew in an ice porcelain bottle, sat in the side hall, crushed the petals with a small roller, and thought, why did someone die again in this palace?

Half an hour later, Song Qingjin had crushed all the petals in the small basket, but neither the old concubine nor the maid came back.Song Qingjin was a little anxious.She decided to go to the old concubine first, and after hurriedly changing her clothes, she walked briskly to Fushou Hall.The old concubine's Shouyan Palace is connected to the inner court, and it is usually lively and crowded, but when it comes to the empress dowager's residence, there are not many people.

The sun shines on the vermilion lacquered palace wall, even if the eaves are surrounded by flying eaves and the carved railings are exquisite, it is difficult to conceal the somewhat desolate scene here.A few court ladies and eunuchs in plain clothes were sweeping the street. Song Qingmei walked on the cold stone road, as if she could hear the wailing from the cold palace.

It's obviously in this space, so close, but the high palace wall divides this huge palace into two worlds.Song Qingjin didn't dare to look up, she lowered her head to the entrance of Shoukang Hall, said a few words to the little girl guarding the gate, and then walked in slowly after knowing that the old concubine was inside.

Song Qingjin had never been to the palace where the Empress Dowager lived.As soon as she entered the door, she felt a gust of cool wind sweeping her back.She couldn't help shrinking her shoulders, and walked up an unknown number of stone steps.A door opened.Let her see what's inside.

Even though there were many candles lit inside, it was still a bit dim.Dimly, it reflects the brass Buddha statue inside.Layers of palace gauze curtains have been worn out for a long time, with mottled marks and the dust of time on them.

Song Qingjin stood on the ground, clasped her hands, and saw the old concubine kneeling on the bright yellow futon.She stood in front of the third Buddha statue, kneeling there piously.The incense in the incense burner was half burned.Countless incense ash as small as gypsum fell all around.

She knew that Buddha statue, which was Maitreya Buddha. When she was a child, she heard people say that there are three Buddhas in the West, and Maitreya is the future Buddha.Her eyes looked down and fell on the old dowager.

She was wearing a light brown long dress, thin but still upright, and her gray hair was like a chrysanthemum in the garden, noble but approachable.Song Qingjin looked at her back and unconsciously revealed a faint smile.For some reason, as soon as she saw the old concubine, she felt that she was like her relatives or teachers, which made her feel that she could rely on her and learned a lot.

The sun was hidden behind the clouds, and it had turned into a cloudy sky.A gust of damp wind blows over, which is the unique smell of late spring and early summer.I'm afraid it's going to rain.Song Qingjin stood guard at the door, originally not wanting to disturb the old concubine.

But after a while, the old concubine's voice rang softly in her ears: "Young concubine, come in, the incense burnt is gone, you replace it with a new one."

Song Qingjin walked in lightly.She entered the hall, first knelt on the futon next to the old concubine, bowed to the three Buddha statues, then stood up, washed her hands in the water in the copper basin on the shelf next to her, and lit a fire. A new stick of incense was inserted into the incense burner.

The old dowager opened her eyes.Song Qingjin knelt on the ground beside her, she glanced around secretly, although there were several wide pillars, she did not see the queen mother's coffin.It stands to reason that since His Majesty is extremely filial, he should put the tablet in this palace.
