1, Rong Xi

"Reliance on the Father (Rebirth)" / Wu Fan

The midsummer is not over, and it is early autumn when the rainy season in the capital of Daqi Bianjing suddenly arrives.

For several days, the luxurious red bricks and green tiles of Yongxi Palace in the forbidden city were washed by the continuous autumn rain. The evening mist was early in the morning, and the rain finally seemed to be about to stop.

On the bell tower of Zirui Hall in the palace gate, the official in charge of the Taishi Bureau was responsible for the test and the official who was in charge of the leaked test ordered the updater to hit the bell, and the sound of the bell was heavy and melodious.

It was just as time to Mao, Rong Xi stood up early, facing the bronze mirror in the room.

Rong Xi entered Yongxi Palace at the age of thirteen and has been working in the Forbidden City for three years. This year, he became a female official as soon as he turned 16. Palace maids with low rank have to call her aunt.

On the first day, the warm setting sun shone into Rong Xi's alone room, illuminating half of her body.

The beauty in the bronze mirror is so beautiful that she is beautiful.

The nose is raised and the cherry lips are as delicate as a craftsman. The three courtyards and five eyes are in one place.

He clearly had a peach blossom eyes with endless charm, but the delicate outline of the corners of the eyes was slightly lowered, and the eyebrows were flowing with soft waves.

It was a stunning look at first glance, but because of the slightly innocent beautiful eyes, there was a pure and charming look like desire.

After Rong Xi used a comb to comb his black hair, he took out a wooden box of tangerine and mows. The bottles and jars inside looked like rouge powder that could make his daughter's house beautiful, but in fact it was not.

What are these things used by Rong Xi to cover up her appearance?

Women in the world all hope to have unparalleled beauty. Rong Xi has a beauty that everyone envies, but he knows that her appearance will cause people to fall into the abyss for the unreliable woman.

Rong Xi picked up the fine brushwork and utensils used to make her look, and put in a careful effort on her face.

She used a special paste to pinch the fan-shaped double eyelids into a single one, and then slightly modified them, and the big peach blossom eyes suddenly became much more mediocre.

Then apply skill to the perky nose to make it visually wider and flatter, making it look a little ugly again.

Finally, a little bit of a faint spot on the cheek below, and the person in the mirror becomes an ordinary appearance that is not ugly but has nothing to do with the word "beautiful".

Rong Xi had been hiding her appearance for several years, and after a while, she became more and more comfortable. After a little breakfast, the little palace maids with slightly lower grades in the living room were still sleeping and did not get up.

As the aunt who cares about them, Rong Xi did not call them up like usual.

The servants got up early and wanted to serve their master, but their master Yu Zhaorong died of illness three days ago.

Just a concubine died, so the palace people would not have to wear mourning clothes.

Rong Xi thought about the Lord and respected him. In the past few days, he quietly mourned his old master and dressed very simply.

Yu Zhaorong had a good family background and was born beautiful. His brother also made military achievements. During his lifetime, he was very favored by the current emperor, Emperor Zhuang Qi Zhuang, Mu Zhen.

Thinking of Yu Zhaorong, Rong Xi still felt a hint of sadness in his heart.

Her master was domineering and arrogant, and offended many people in the palace during his lifetime.

Emperor Mu Zhen had few descendants. Yu Zhaorong became pregnant just two years after entering the palace. The prince had not been born in the palace for many years, so the emperor naturally favored her.

After Yu Zhaorong was pregnant, Rong Xi was also happy for her and was more cautious than before.

She always hoped that her master's fetus would give birth smoothly. No matter if it was a prince and a daughter, as long as she had a royal heir, Yu Zhaorong would sit more steadily in the palace.

But in the end, Yu Zhaorong still suffered a fetus.

After Yu Zhaorong gave birth, he became a little confused and absent-minded. Emperor Zhuang of Qi felt deeply sorry for him and had visited Yu Zhaorong several times in person.

But the pain of losing her son made Yu Zhaorong no longer compete for favor. She always felt that someone was harming her and was haunted by nightmare every day.

When Yu Zhaorong was Xiaoyue, his mood was more irritable than before, and he always vented his anger by beating the palace servants.

At that time, Rong Xi was afraid that Yu Zhaorong's actions would cause dissatisfaction with the palace ladies, so she privately comforted the beaten eunuchs and palace maids for Yu Zhaorong. On the other hand, she felt that she was the big palace maid who was close to Yu Zhaorong. Her loss of her son this time was inseparable from her doing things.

If she was more careful, her master might be able to keep her fetus.

That day, Yu Zhaorong was furious because the tea brought by the palace maid was not in line with her wishes. Rong Xi knelt in front of Yu Zhaorong and earnestly let Yu Zhaorong calm down. If he wanted to be resentful, he would punish her alone. It was her child who was a close-to-face palace maid who failed to protect his master.

Yu Zhaorong has a bad temper, but she has never beaten her.

After hearing Rong Xi's words, Yu Zhaorong smiled faintly and miserably, but said, "There are so many of them who want to harm me alone, so I can't be guarded against... What does it have to do with you, a little palace maid?"

Rong Xi felt guilty when he remembered the old master's words.

People in the palace all felt that Yu Zhaorong was arrogant and extravagant and difficult to get along with.

Rong Xi also felt the same when she was serving Yu Zhaorong, but she was never afraid of chewing tough problems.

Two years ago, she started with a maid under Yu Zhaorong. Because of her ability to do things, she comforted her master and slowly climbed to the position of a great palace maid, which was deeply trusted by Yu Zhaorong.

Before his death, Yu Zhaorong left a lot of money to Rong Xi for the money he brought from his mother's house to the palace, and told her to find a new master for life and not to miss her. On the way to the underworld, she must be the most casual beauty.

Rong Xi did not accept the money, but sent someone to Daxiangguo Temple to seek a lot of money to consecrate a few magic weapons. Before Dali eunuch carried the coffin, he placed them in Yu Zhaorong's coffin, hoping that Yu Zhaorong's road would be smoother on the Huangquan Road.

With a creak————, the door was pushed open.

After Rong Xi stepped over the threshold, he stood in front of the tiled window of the little palace maid's room, and silently looked at the eight palace maids who were sleeping soundly on the bed.

The scenery in Fuqi Palace is secluded, and the wisteria climbed in the courtyard winds up along the red wall.

Rong Xi was thinking about her thoughts. At this time, a young eunuch from Fuzhi Palace greeted her and interrupted her thoughts.

——"Aunt Rong got up so early this morning. Where are you going this morning?"

She turned around in a voice and saw two eunuchs wearing heads in Fuqi Palace sweeping in the courtyard. She replied indifferently: "The Palace Minister sent someone to inform me last night that I would go to the internal corps early this morning. It should be that the records under the Shizhong were going to be assigned to me for errands."

As soon as Rong Xi finished speaking, several birds with small bodies and shining hairs fell on the bluestone floor not far in front of Rong Xi.

They are not afraid of people, and are taking turns pecking at the seeds on the ground.

The species of birds in Yongxi Palace are much more precious than outside the palace, and the sound of the cries is beautiful.

Rong Xi left Fuli Palace and told the eunuch to wake up the little palace maids in a while.

The little eunuch respectfully asked Rong Xi to walk slowly, but felt that her voice was even more gentle and pleasant than the chirping sound of the precious bird.

Although the young aunt Rong in Fuqi Palace did not have a good appearance and looked mediocre, her cool voice sounded like a clear stream hitting a stone in a stream, which could be called the voice of a beauty.

When Yu Zhaorong was alive, he always joked about Rong Xi. It was better to learn to sing music than to have this voice, and he could sing her and the emperor to add some elegance.

The eunuch couldn't help but feel emotion when he looked at Rong Xi's slender back.

If Rong Xisheng had a slightly better appearance, with her beautiful voice and graceful figure, she might be lucky enough to be a servant or talented person.

Although Aunt Rong is not beautiful, she is very good-looking, has a good attitude and is very good at dating and getting along with others.

Not to mention the relationship between Rong Xi and other palace ladies in Yongxi Palace, just talking about the eight little palace maids in Fu Zi Palace, they respect and believe Rong Xi.

Rong Xi seems to have a good temper, but she is also a skilled person. She can shock her little palace maids. While she is gentle and gentle in dealing with people, she can also make the little palace maids feel a little afraid of her.

Many great palace maids in their twenties, and even nannies in their thirties, are not as capable as Rong Xi.

When the master passed away, the inner officials had not had time to arrange the places for the people in Fuqi Palace.

Another eunuch was idle, so he put down the broom in his hand and chewed the root of his tongue with the eunuch who was a few years older than him.

His voice was unique to the eunuch, and he said, "Oh, we ordinary palace servants are just waiting to arrange the absent positions in each palace. I hope we will never be assigned to the Meiyuan or the Yeting Court as a rough man. I can't do those hard work now. However, Aunt Rong has a good future. You see, even the internal officials have sent someone to invite her alone. This must be a good job."

The older eunuch's voice was a bit rough as an ordinary man. He sneered, and his tone was a little sigh: "What's the good thing? I'm afraid that the errands will be less than us."

After listening, the young eunuch shouted.

He asked in confusion: "What do you mean? I heard a while ago that the Shangyi Bureau was missing a Fengyu, and the Shangyi Bureau intended to let Aunt Rong take that position."

The older eunuch silently, then waved his hand.

The errands at Shangyi Bureau are naturally good. Rong Xi is smart and learns things very quickly. He also has a foundation in embroidery and craftsmanship, which is much better than ordinary women's clothing.

Working in Shangyi Bureau is based on her ability to make a living. With Rong Xi's talent, she has been a Fengyu for several years. In addition, Shangyi Bureau is determined to promote her to be a successor. By the age of her early twenties, she can become the supervisor of Shangyi Bureau.

At that time, his subordinates will be able to manage dozens of people, and they are still of a rank female official, so their salary will be generous.

It’s a pity that Rong Xi is now unable to become Feng Yu from Shangyi Bureau.

Seeing that the older eunuch didn't say anything, he just tsk a few times. The young eunuch was a little anxious and asked again: "Oh, what news are you hearing again? Don't keep it a secret, talk to me quickly."

The older eunuch glanced at him.

Then he lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "I don't know which master Aunt Rong wants to be with. I can only tell you that what she wants to be with must be a master who is more difficult than our old master Yu Zhaorong."

It's harder to deal with than Yu Zhaorong?

The young eunuch silenced and had already guessed in his heart.

In addition to Yu Zhaorong, there are two other masters in the palace who have a bad temper.

One is the daughter of Concubine Li, the most favored by Yongxi Palace, and the second princess Mu Qian.

The second princess just turned thirteen and was spoiled since childhood. Because Concubine Li is favored and has a huge family power, she doesn't take ordinary palace concubines and princes seriously, so she even has a little respect for the queen.

Although she was young, if the palace maids did not serve her, Mu Qian would slap her and pull out her nails.

If the little palace maid she gave her was more pretty and her limelight was a little overwhelmed by her, Mu Qian would apply red pepper sauce from the Western Regions to destroy her appearance on her fair face.

It happened that a gust of autumn wind blew by. Thinking of Mu Qian's tormenting methods, the young eunuch couldn't help but shivered.

Although Mu Qian's method of torture to the palace ladies was cruel, it was ultimately not as terrifying as the other master of Yongxi Palace.

After all, no one died in Mu Qian's palace.

But I heard that the master's palace had dealt with several palace maids.
