Chapter 209
Fanghua had heard before that not only did ordinary people attach great importance to a woman's reputation, but the wealthy and prominent families even regarded the reputation of their own women as of paramount importance. After all, for these wealthy families, their daughters' reputation and innocence are directly related to the family's face and honor.
In order to protect the chastity of girls in the boudoir, many prominent families spent a lot of money and manpower, and tried all kinds of ways to create some strange and unique things, just to protect the chastity of girls in the boudoir.
Fanghua was naturally well aware of this. She nodded with a smile and responded, "Of course I understand the truth behind this! Especially for a beauty like the Sixth Miss who is so stunning and charming, she should always pay attention to her reputation and protect herself."
At this moment, the light around seemed a little dim. The weak and dim light fell on Yin Zijin, which actually added a hazy and blurred beauty to him. Yin Zijin stretched out her delicate hands like soft catkins and gently placed them on Fanghua's slender arm. Then she spread her small and exquisite three-inch golden lotus feet and walked gracefully into the bathtub filled with rich fragrance.
Two palace maids and two eunuchs hurried forward to help Yin Zijin take a bath. Fang Hua sat aside to help Yin Zijin relax and said with a smile: "Sixth Miss, don't be afraid. The Queen Mother has granted you a bath in the Zhuying Pool. You should be happy. This is a great honor, which proves that the Queen Mother really likes you and values you very much.
Also, the girl will marry into the Eastern Palace in the future, so she needs to slowly adapt to the service of the palace maids and eunuchs. I am a young girl and have been kept in seclusion for many years. We are not in a hurry, just adapt slowly. ”
The steaming pool water flowed as smoothly as silk, gently washing Yin Zijin's delicate and fair skin. It made his already handsome face look even more rosy and charming, as if he was a ripe apple.
Yin Zijin nodded slightly, her movements graceful and light, like a ripple caused by the breeze blowing across the lake. At this moment, he was like a hibiscus flower blooming in the water, fresh and refined.
After the bath, Fanghua served Yin Zijin carefully. She first gently picked up the pink nightgown which was as soft and smooth as silk, and gently dressed him. Then, he took out a thick and soft cloak and carefully put it on Yin Zijin.
After doing all this, Fanghua waved towards a place not far away, and soon a eunuch with a strong and muscular figure walked over quickly. The eunuch came closer, bowed slightly, then bent down and let Yin Zijin lie steadily on his broad and solid back.
Fang Hua followed closely and explained to Yin Zijin softly, "Don't be afraid, young lady. You have just finished bathing and are preparing to go to bed. You are wearing thin clothes. If you walk over there by yourself, you might catch a cold.
So let this strong eunuch carry you on his back, so that you can reach the West Warm Pavilion faster and you, my girl, will suffer less from the cold. "As she spoke, she reached out and gently adjusted Yin Zijin's cloak to make sure there was no air leakage anywhere.
When they arrived at the West Warm Pavilion, Fanghua reminded: "Yundong is on duty in the West Warm Pavilion tonight. If you need anything during the night, please let Yundong know. Yundong, come over and meet the Sixth Miss."
Yundong hurriedly walked forward and bowed: "Greetings, young lady. If you have anything to ask, just tell me."
When Yin Zijin heard this, an indescribable sadness suddenly surged in his heart. His nose felt slightly sour and his eyes gradually became moist. The corners of his mouth, which had been upturned, now turned slightly to one side, as if he would burst into tears in the next second because of the grievance he felt.
I have always heard that the people in the palace are cold and heartless, but at this moment, Yin Zijin deeply feels that this place is much more humane than the Yin Mansion.
Thinking back to the long dozen years he spent in the Yin Mansion, Yin Zijin felt as if he was imprisoned in an invisible cage and could never break free.
Over the past decade, he has only felt depressed and miserable, because it seems that no one has ever truly cared about him or thought about him.
Thinking of this, Yin Zijin hurriedly said, "Thank you, Aunt Fanghua! Zijin is entering the palace for the first time today, and I am really nervous, fearing that I will make a big mistake if I am not careful.
Fortunately, Aunt Fanghua has always been there to give me careful guidance, so Zijin was able to avoid making any mistakes! "After saying this, Yin Zijin looked at Aunt Fanghua with gratitude, tears in her eyes.
Fanghua gently took out a snow-white handkerchief embroidered with exquisite patterns from her bosom, carefully stretched out her hand, and gently placed it on Yin Zijin's face that was as beautiful as a pear blossom in the rain.
Fanghua gently wiped the crystal tears that kept rolling down Yin Zijin's cheeks with a handkerchief and asked softly, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Her words were like the gentle breeze in spring, warm and caring.
Yin Zijin shook her head and said quickly: "It's okay, Aunt Fanghua. It's getting late, you should go back and rest!"
When they returned to the west warm room, Nanny Zhou helped Yin Zijin lie down on the bed. Then, Nanny Zhou got a cup of hot water from the table not far away, and then took out a small porcelain bottle from her body, took out a pill, and put it into the water to dissolve it. He brought it to Yin Zijin and said, "This is a cold medicine, drink it while it's hot!"
Yin Zijin avoided the bowl of cold medicine as much as possible, because as soon as she drank it, her body would become sickly and lifeless like a frost-bitten eggplant.
I don’t know what’s so strange about this cold medicine that makes her so uncomfortable. Over the years, Yin Zijin has been in poor health and suffered from many illnesses, which was caused by drinking this cold medicine for a long time.
At this moment, Yin Zijin was in the palace. Even though he had thousands of words to say in his heart, he finally chose to remain silent.
He silently picked up the teacup on the table, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and resolutely drank the cold medicine in the cup. The bitter taste instantly spread in his mouth, making him frown.
However, not long after, Yin Zijin felt that his body was becoming increasingly weak. He slowly fell onto the bed, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away in an instant.
After a long while, Yin Zijin felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at her body, causing unbearable itching. The golden bee venom that had previously invaded her body became active again, and was even more ferocious than before. Yin Zijin twisted her body in pain and tried to grab it with her hands, but this not only did not help, but made the situation worse.
