That day, Xu Chen'an was drying his herbs, but unexpectedly a strong wind blew and his herbs were instantly blown to the ground.
Seeing that the herbs he had picked with great effort were about to be blown away by the strong wind, Xu Chen'an felt heartbroken, but at this moment a little palace maid suddenly appeared.
Without a word, the young palace maid came to help Xu Chen'an pick up the scattered herbs. Xu Chen'an also joined in immediately.
After the two men gathered the herbs, Xu Chen'an thanked the palace maid. That was how the two met.
Because the young palace maid had not yet been assigned to the palace, she often swept the floor outside. As time went by, she gradually became familiar with Xu Chen'an.
So that's how it is. After hearing Xu Chen'an's words, Su Mengyan became a little curious about the little palace maid.
After returning to her palace, Su Mengyan thought about it and decided to call Bixia over. She asked Bixia to call the little palace maid that Xu Chen'an liked, wanting to see her true appearance.
The little palace maid was cleaning outside when she saw Sister Bixia, who was beside the Queen, coming to find her and asking her to go to the Queen. She was shocked at the moment.
She thought that she was just a nameless little maid, and there were many maids like her in the harem, so how could she let the empress know about it.
He came to Su Mengyan tremblingly, and knelt down to salute Su Mengyan.
Seeing her like this, Su Mengyan knew that she was a little scared, so she smiled and said, "Get up, don't be so frightened. I just asked you to come over to ask some questions."
Hearing the Queen Mother asking her to get up, Yu Xiang did not dare to disobey and got up immediately.
When she got up, she heard the Queen asking her name.
"My name is Yu Xiang."
"Yuxiang, that's a good name," Su Mengyan said. She took a closer look at Yuxiang. She had a pair of bright eyes, a cherry mouth, and willow-shaped eyebrows. Her nose wasn't very straight, and her skin was a little sallow, probably because her family was poor when she was young, but it was still pretty.
Su Mengyan nodded and thought, I didn't expect Xu Chen'an to have such good taste. He could pick out such a pure and lovely little girl from among all the palace maids.
Su Mengyan's original intention was just to see what kind of person Yu Xiang was. Now that she had met him, there was nothing else to do, so she let Yu Xiang go.
"Bixia, I remember that there is a shortage of people in various palaces and the Imperial Hospital. Why don't we arrange Yuxiang to the Imperial Hospital." Su Mengyan thought about it and decided to make things work for them. Xu Chen'an was in the Imperial Hospital, and he was still obsessed with Yuxiang. Why not let Yuxiang go to the Imperial Hospital so that the two of them could be together day and night.
When Bixia heard her own queen arrange this, she knew that the queen was helping others because she had been with Su Mengyan for a long time. "Yes, your majesty, if the queen thinks so, they will definitely be grateful to her."
"I don't want any gratitude from them. Xu Chen'an has helped me a lot. This is just a way to repay his kindness." Su Mengyan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I was too nosy about this matter. I will do it right away." Bixia also knew her queen's temper. She stopped talking nonsense and went to do the task assigned to her by Su Mengyan.
On the other side, after everyone left, Lu Xian did not leave. She knew that even though she might be used by Xu Chuchu, Xu Chuchu did not want to deal with her.
So, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and stayed, watching Xu Chuchu who was silent and crying.
Lu Xian sighed, feeling a little reluctant. She hadn't expected that Xu Chuchu would be so bold as to not only frame Lin Xiangru but also eat the poisoned snacks.
Seeing Xu Chuchu crying so sadly, Lu Xian could only help Xu Chuchu up. Only then did Xu Chuchu realize that she was not the only one in the room.
"You, how could this happen? No matter what you do, you should protect yourself." Lu Xian slowly helped the person up, then put her on the bed and sat opposite her.
Xu Chuchu had regretted it a long time ago, but now she couldn't say anything and could only express her regret with tears streaming down her face.
Seeing Xu Chuchu crying again, Lu Xian couldn't bear to scold her anymore: "Okay, it's okay. I'll find a good doctor to see you later. Maybe your throat can be healed."
She knew that, at the moment, Xu Chuchu's biggest wish was for her throat to heal. Sure enough, when Xu Chuchu heard her words, her eyes lit up and her tears stopped.
"Ah, ah." Xu Chuchu meant to ask if this was true, and if her throat could really be healed.
However, she could only make ah ah sounds when she opened her mouth. Although Lu Xian didn't understand, after a little thought, she understood what Xu Chuchu wanted to ask.
"Don't worry, there will be a way." Lu Xian could only comfort Xu Chuchu in this way.
Xu Chuchu felt mixed emotions when Lu Xian comforted her.
Just as Lu Xian returned to her palace, the eunuchs came over with a group of palace maids: "Greetings, Lu Ying, these are the newly prepared palace maids. We thought you were short of people, so we sent them here for you to choose from."
It turned out that the group of palace maids behind him were sent here for these concubines to choose.
Yu Xiang lowered her head, like the other palace maids, not daring to look up. She didn't know if she would be kept in this palace.
What she didn't know was that if she had been a little later, perhaps her fate would have changed.
Lu Xian looked at the group of palace maids with their heads lowered in front of her, and examined them carefully. After a while, she found Yu Xiang.
This girl seems to be an honest person. Lu Xian thought that she had been having a lot of troubles in the past period of time, and there was still some anger in her heart.
Now that the eunuch had sent her a palace maid, Lu Xian smiled. She then ordered Yu Xiang and a few other palace maids to stay, rejecting all the others.
At the beginning, Yu Xiang was full of joy when she was left behind, thinking that she finally had a home. Yes, if there was a palace in her heart for her to stay in, that was her home.
However, what greeted her joy was a severe beating.
Lu Xian was willing to keep her because she saw that she was honest and easy to bully, so she wanted to let her stay in her palace to vent her anger.
After only a few days at Lu Xian's place, Yu Xiang's body was already covered with bruises, but her face was clean.
In Lu Xian's words, no one would lift up a palace maid's clothes to see if her body was covered with bruises, but her face must not have any injuries, as others could see it at a glance.
Although beating and scolding a palace maid was not a big deal even if others knew about it, as long as they said she had made a mistake, Lu Xian still wanted to maintain her reputation.
