Queen's Development

Chapter 15
The wind outside seemed to be stronger at night, and the copper bells hanging under the eaves of the small attic were jingled by the wind, mixed with the "srusting" sound of the flowers and trees in front of the attic, which was really chilling.

Yuzhi couldn't take it any longer, she hurriedly got up to wash up, unfolded the quilt and fell asleep.

She was so tired today, she felt dizzy and dizzy after lying on the bed, and fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes.

The next morning, Yuzhi woke up at the fixed time.

She got up to dress and wash in the cold, thinking: the nights are long in winter, it would be great if I could find a book to read while lying under the quilt!
When you have a chance, you must buy a few books and put them next to your pillow.

After tidying up, Yuzhi went to order some tea.

Before the sun came out, Yuzhi and Qingcha finished their work, and they helped the maidservants in Lingxiao Court get their meals back.

But after waiting and waiting, seeing that Shui Lian and Shui Ning didn't get up, neither Jin Lian nor the others came over, Yuzhi Qingcha and Xiangcao Xiuyun had breakfast first.

Because the maids hadn't come over to eat yet, Yuzhi and Qingcha stood on the porch of the east wing, talking and watching the movement at the gate.

Unexpectedly, they didn't wait for the big maids to get up, but they waited for Abi who was serving Yang's mother.

Abi was still a child, but she was very smart. She entered the yard, stood by the big screen wall and looked around, and saw that the Lingxiao courtyard was empty, only Yuzhi, Qingcha and two other little maids , I know that the big maids are still sleeping late.

She remembered it all in her heart, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuzhi, I have something to do with you!"

Yuzhi walked over hurriedly, and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Abi smiled and said in a low voice: "Mother Yang told you to come over, she wants to give you some work!"

Yuzhi responded, and said, "Qingcha and I have finished our work, so I will go with Qingcha, is that okay?"

Abi glanced at the corridor of the East Wing and stretched her neck to look at the tea here, and laughed with a "puchi": "How dare you not let her go? Seeing that she is worried that you will grow a neck goose!"

Yuzhi looked back, also smiled, and said softly to Abi: "Wait for me for a while, I'll go talk to the other maids!"

Abbie smiled and nodded.

Yuzhi talked to Qingcha, and then went to find Xiangcao and Xiuyun who were waiting in the East Wing, "Qingcha and I are going back first, you can clean up later!"

It was vanilla and Xiuyun's job to clean up the mess, so they naturally didn't shirk it, and agreed with a smile.

Yuzhi and Qingcha followed Abi out of Lingxiao Courtyard, and went to Cuiweiju along the path around the wall.

Abi was very mischievous, she was walking, and suddenly approached Yuzhi and took a deep breath: "Sister Yuzhi, your body smells so good!"

Yuzhi laughed, gently tugged at Abi's ears, and said, "Little rascal, I've put on the plum blossom balm!"

She naturally likes things like rouge, gouache, jewelry and embroidery, but she doesn't have much money, so she only bought the cheapest plum blossom balm, which is used to smear her hands and face in winter, and it is very moisturizing.

Mother Yang had just sent the second son Lin Jia out, and was sitting in the room drinking tea.

The King of Xingping County invited Fu Xingxiu, a great Confucian, to study in the study outside the palace. Every day, all the princes went to the study outside to study with Fu Xingxiu, and the second son was no exception.

Abi led Yuzhi and Qingcha into the house, and said with a smile: "Mom, you need one person to help, I brought you two!"

Yang's mother knew that Yuzhi and Qingcha had a good relationship, so she also smiled and said: "The more people who help, the better!"

She sized up Yuzhi, and saw that Yuzhi was dressed neatly, her dark black hair was combed in an orderly manner, her small face was as white as jade, her star-like eyes were crystal clear, and she was wearing that half-worn dress embroidered with double petals. Gardenia's dark green satin jacket was tied with a white silk skirt, like a snow-white gardenia blooming in the wind, sweet, pure and delicate.

Such a beauty, such a character, is considered appropriate to be placed in the second son's room!
But house collection is a major event, we have to look again!
Mother Yang thought about it for a while, looked at Yuzhi and said, "Yuzhi, the second young master has been ordered by the prince to go to Zhao County to do some things, and he needs someone to accompany him to take care of him. Zhao County is facing the sea, and it is very hard. Would you like to go?"

Yuzhi was overjoyed in her heart, and immediately said generously: "Mom, I am willing, and I will do my best to serve the second young master."

She is not afraid of hardships, and she is the most curious, so she has long thought of taking a look outside. It would be great if she could leave Lingxiao Courtyard and see the outside world.

After hearing this, Qingcha felt a little reluctant to part with Yuzhi, and looked at Yuzhi eagerly.

Yu Zhi hurriedly looked at Yang's mother, bowed her knees, and begged: "Mom, Qingcha and I have been working together and keeping each other company, can you let us serve the second young master together?"

Mother Yang saw that the two girls had such a good relationship, and that Qingcha was honest and honest, so she smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? Go back and pack your bags, and come over in a while!"

Yu Zhi was careful, and hurriedly said: "Mom, Sister Shui Nian and Shui Lian—"

Mother Yang snorted coldly and said, "I'll go and tell them!"

Both Shui Lian and Shui Xing were arranged by the princess to enter the Lingxiao courtyard. These two maids have always been arrogant and domineering because they are the princess's people, and they have to be served by the little maids. They really think that they are the vice girl and half the master!
After explaining the business, Mama Yang groaned in silence.

Seeing this, Yuzhi smiled and said, "Mom, should Qingcha and I go back to pack our luggage right now, or follow you to Lingxiaoyuan first?"

Mama Yang appointed her and Qingcha to go to Zhao County with the second son to serve her. Mama Yang had to tell Shui Xun and Shui Lian about this matter.

So Yuzhi implicitly reminded Yang's mother.

Mother Yang smiled: "Let's go, I'll talk to Shui Ning and Shui Lian, I'll be on the same road with you!"

Abi stepped forward to help Yang's mother get up, and everyone went to Lingxiao courtyard together.

The gate of Lingxiao Courtyard was ajar, but with a light push from Yuzhi, the gate opened.

The yard was quiet, and there was no one in sight.

Seeing this situation, Mama Yang couldn't help sighing, and said to herself: Ever since Shuiping was taken away by the lord, and the second son's yard was handed over to the two servant girls, Shuiping and Shuilian, it's been a mess day by day—how can there be a prince's mansion? Young Master's courtyard, there is not even a girl answering the door in broad daylight?

Yuzhi said softly: "Mom, I'm going to call the two elder sisters Shui Nian and Shui Lian!"

Mother Yang said with a heavy heart: "Go!"

Yuzhi first moved an armchair and placed it under the porch of the east wing, asking Mama Yang to sit down first, and then went to the west wing to call for Shui An and Shui Lian.

Both Shui Lian and Shui Xing were sleeping in the room, and they got up after being woken up by Yu Zhi.

Mama Yang sat on the armchair under the corridor of the east wing, quietly watching the water lotus and water anemone slowly coming out of the west wing.

She was extremely angry at first, but at this moment she slowly suppressed her anger: These two people were arranged by the princess, and they cannot be dismissed in a hurry, and this matter has to be settled slowly...

Shui Lian looked sick, her hair was loose, and her skirt was half-hidden, and she walked over slowly.

Shui An was well-dressed, with her face upturned, and she walked out swaggeringly with a tired look.

Seeing Mama Yang sitting there, the two of them looked at each other, walked forward slowly, and reluctantly bowed their knees and saluted: "I've seen Mama!"

Yang's mother has suppressed her anger at this moment, and said lightly: "The prince ordered the second son to go out on business, and he had to arrange two maids to accompany him to wait on him. Yuzhi and Qingcha are quite diligent, so I will let them go with them, tomorrow Let's go, come and talk to you."

When Shui Lian heard the words, she was anxious, angry and resentful, and glared at Yuzhi bitterly, but she happened to meet Yang's mother's gaze, and she shivered in fright at the coldness in Yang's mother's eyes.

She has always bullied the weak and feared the strong and bullied the good and feared the evil, so she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to say anything.

Shui Xun took a look at Yuzhi and Qingcha, but she was very calm: "Everything is according to mother's arrangement."

From an emotional point of view, she is indeed a little jealous of Yuzhi; but from a rational point of view, she knows that Mother Yang's arrangement is very appropriate. Although Yuzhi is young, she is cautious, considerate and kind.

More importantly, Yuzhi is only 14 years old, and the second son will not have anything to do with Yuzhi. It is better for Yuzhi to go than Jinlian, Shumei and Xianjing's goblins!

As for Qingcha, anyone with eyes would know that it was Yuzhi's little follower, not a strong rival.

After Yang's mother arranged this matter, she squinted her eyes and looked at the empty but extremely clean Lingxiao Courtyard in front of her. Knowing that it was Yuzhi and Qingcha who cleaned the courtyard every day, she felt even more admirable.

She resisted the plan of persuading Shui An and Shui Lian, got up and told Yu Zhi and Qing Cha, "We're leaving tomorrow, hurry up and pack your bags!"

Yuzhi and Qingcha agreed, said hello to Shui Xie and the others, and went out with Yang's mother.

When she reached the gate of the small side courtyard, Mother Yang stopped in her tracks and told Yuzhi, "Pack your luggage and go to my place."

Yuzhi quickly agreed.

After returning to her small attic, Yuzhi lay lazily on her bed, her body was comfortable, but her brain was analyzing and thinking about what luggage to bring in an orderly manner.

Zhao County is in the northeast of Qingzhou. It is a small city near the sea. It is said that it is colder than Qingzhou City. At least you have to bring warm clothes with you. Besides, this time going out, plus the time on the way back and forth, the time will not be short. Bring more underwear for a change of clothes; you don't know what to do with your son's clothes, so you have to ask Mama Yang for instructions...

When the plan was finalized, Yuzhi got up and tidied up neatly.

After packing her luggage, Yuzhi went downstairs to look at Qingcha, and found that Qingcha had forgotten her underwear, so she smiled and said, "Huh? Do you want to make a new coat, tube top and obscene trousers on the way? I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time!"

Qingcha also laughed when she said it, and hurriedly took her underwear again.

Yuzhi checked Qingcha's luggage again, and found that Qingcha only brought a small jacket, and hurriedly said: "It's getting colder every day, maybe it will snow sometime, you should bring a thicker jacket, Put on your cotton pants!"

After thinking about it, she asked again: "Have you brought the moon letter?"

Qingcha laughed, pointed at Yuzhi and said, "You haven't sent a monthly letter yet, yet you still come to guide me! Haha!"

Yu Zhi blushed from Qing Cha's words, and immediately remembered her worries, so she stopped entangled with Qing Cha, and said with a red face, "I'm ignoring you, I'm going to see Mama Yang!"

It's so strange, Qing Cha is obviously younger than her, yet Yue Xin has already arrived!
She is 14 years old, but Yue Xin is still missing!
Yuzhi changed her mind and thought again: Mother Yang asked me to go there alone, what's the matter?
