Chapter 21 I Really Saw a Ghost

Yun Qin took the monthly salary and said to the chief eunuch, "Thank you, eunuch."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, not giving Qinghe a chance to speak again.

Qing He glared at her angrily and said to the chief eunuch, "Eunuch Zhang, why don't you quickly arrange for someone to carry the things and follow me!"

The weather is warm today, and all the palaces are changing their curtains to thinner ones. Lady Liu thought the old ones were not good enough, so she ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make new ones. She came here specially today to get them.

"How can we trust them with their clumsy hands? We have to go there in person to feel at ease." Zhang Huaide said with a hint of flattery.

"Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Zhang." Qing He was proud of his hospitality, but her face was very reserved.

After leading the group out of the door, Qing He saw that Yun Qin had not gone far yet, so he left the people behind him and followed her, blocking her on the palace road leading to Yu Garden.

Yun Qin didn't expect her to continue to pester him, and immediately frowned slightly.

"I thought you were here for something, but it turns out you're here to collect your monthly salary. You're here to collect only half a month's salary, aren't you ashamed?" Qing He glanced at the purse in her hand and said sarcastically.

Yun Qin was not afraid of her, but did not want to cause any trouble. In addition to the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there were also palace maids and eunuchs walking on the palace road. Looking at them all busy, they were actually secretly staring at this place, waiting to watch the show.

She didn't want to fulfill these people's wishes!

Yunqin looked at the chief eunuch Zhang Huaide.

Zhang Huaide immediately lowered his head and pretended to check the boxes and cages carried by the young eunuchs, groaning in his heart. Don't look at him. On one hand, he is in the limelight, and on the other hand, he is pregnant with the royal heir. He can't afford to offend both.

Seeing his look, Yun Qin snorted in her heart, he was indeed a snobbish man. When she came before, this eunuch was very attentive.

"Why are you so silent today? Where is your arrogance that day?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qinghe became more proud and her words became more unpleasant.

Three times the truth is too much, Yun Qin is not a piece of clay. She looked at Qing He coldly and said, "I am indeed not as far-sighted as my sister. I don't even look down on the half-month salary of a concubine. I wonder how much is Lady Liu's monthly salary?"

The monthly salary of a concubine was two hundred taels, and that of a consort was one hundred taels. Even if Concubine Hui was fined half a month's salary, it was only reduced to that of a consort.

As expected, upon hearing this, Qing He's pretty face darkened instantly, "How dare you mock my beauty!"

When Yun Qin heard this, she immediately pressed her slender fingers to her lips, with a look of panic on her face, "Sister, you are wronging me, aren't you? I was just curious about Lady Liu's salary because you looked down on my wife's salary. You can scold me for being short-sighted, but how can you bring me into the discussion of mocking Lady Liu?"

Her affected manner made Qing He so angry that she fell backwards. She stretched out her finger and pointed her pointed nails at Yun Qin's face, "You are such a sharp-tongued bitch!"

"Not even a cent of my sister's." The more she jumped up and down, the calmer Yun Qin became. "So, sister really doesn't like my wife's monthly salary? I guess sister must have gold and silver mines at home, but why doesn't sister enjoy the good life at home? Don't you want to?"

Every word of these hurt Qing He. She was so angry that her face turned red and she raised her hand to slap Yun Qin in the face.

"You, you, I'm going to tear your mouth off today!"

Yun Qin was prepared and hid behind Zhang Huaide in a flash. Qinghe's slap almost hit him in the face.

Zhang Huaide was startled, but now he had no choice but to show up, so he quickly tried to reconcile, "You two, you two, please talk it out, why are you fighting?"

"Eunuch, please persuade my sister. Lady Liu is a person of great character. How could the palace maids around her be so unreasonable and want to hit people? What kind of rules are these?" Yun Qin stood far away from the two of them, but did not forget to fan the flames.

These words were like a thorn that pricked Qing He to wake up a little. She looked around at the eyes that were looking at her and threw her sleeves in hatred, "I don't like you, a jerk. Don't bring my beauty into this! You can only talk nonsense in front of me. I want to see how long you can be so arrogant!"

Would this scare Yunqin? No!

Even if she really swallowed her anger today, would Lady Liu let her go?

"Sister, please take care of yourself first. I won't bother you anymore." Yun Qin said in a cold tone.

"You!" Qing He didn't dare to take any more action because of what Yun Qin had just said. She couldn't argue with him, so she could only grit her teeth and stare at Yun Qin.

Yun Qin stopped talking and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Huaide again, with some sarcasm in her eyes, "I have to thank you for today, eunuch."

The Imperial Household Department did not receive any less than the Chunxi Palace, and baskets of red charcoal were sent there. This must have been the emperor's special instruction.

This is also the reason why Yun Qin dared to speak to him like this.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaide's face immediately turned into a bitter one. Why was he so unlucky? How did he bump into these two people!

They were blocking the palace road. Yun Qin was too lazy to bother with them any longer, so she turned into Yu Garden, intending to take a shortcut back to Chunxi Palace.

Yun Qin stopped when he reached a deserted place and scratched his forehead in annoyance.

How could I not help myself? Now I have made a big scene in front of everyone!

Judging from the speed at which gossip spread in the harem, by noon, everyone probably knew that there was a sharp-tongued little palace maid named Yunqin accompanying Concubine Hui.

But what she needs now is to keep a low profile, keep a low profile!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Yun Qin couldn't help but reach out and hit a dead branch on the side of the road. However, she didn't expect that the branch was not tough at all and broke at the first blow. The broken end also cut a bloody gash on her index finger.

Yun Qin hissed in pain and looked at the wound on her finger, becoming more and more angry. "It's really like seeing a ghost..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard footsteps approaching from behind and turned around immediately.

What caught her eye was first a bright yellow color, and then a pair of deep eyes.

Yun Qin was shocked, and her body reacted faster than her brain. She immediately bowed and saluted, "Your servant pays respect to the emperor!"

It’s over, this time I really saw a ghost!
