Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

The dusk was getting darker, and the noisy night outside was gradually calming down, but Qu Liang'er, who had escaped from the Zhenguo Marquis' Mansion before, was now kneeling in the Queen Mother's palace with fear.

"Mother...the Queen Mother, I have complied with your instructions, but I didn't expect that his identity would be exposed. The maid who escaped back then is not dead."

The Queen Mother knelt in front of the small Buddhist hall, tapping the wooden fish in her hand. Suddenly, the sound of the wooden fish suddenly stopped, and a cold and deep voice came from the small Buddhist hall.

"Then what's the use of keeping you?"

Qu Liang'er was so frightened that she quickly fell to the ground and kowtowed, "Empress Dowager, please forgive me, Empress Dowager, please forgive me."

At this time, the nanny in the corner of the Buddhist hall came forward and reminded the Queen Mother that Qu Liang'er really had her place.

After whispering a few words in the Queen Mother's ear, he helped the Queen Mother slowly stand up and walked towards Qu Liang'er outside.

Qu Liang'er, who was lying on the ground, glanced at the pair of Shu brocade embroidered shoes in front of him, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Raise your head." The Queen Mother's light and cold voice sounded, but there was an undoubted intimidation in it.

Qu Liang'er raised her head tremblingly, and after meeting the Queen Mother's eyes, she was about to lower her head nervously when the Queen Mother pinched her chin, "Well, she looks very charming!"

Then he shook her away, as if she was contaminated by something dirty, and looked at the grandmother behind him.

Mammy understood and slowly walked forward, leaned over and whispered in Qu Liang'er's ear. Qu Liang'er's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude!

The queen mother rubbed her brows and waved to her, and the nanny called for the guards to send Qu Liang'er out of the palace.

"I'll take care of you, please go and have a rest."

At this time, outside the palace.

It was already very late when Chu Haochen sent Lu Qingqing back to the house. She urged Chu Haochen to go back quickly. The princess needed to pay more attention.

Because he was afraid that the space would be exposed, he simply did not use the medicinal spring to restore the princess's wounds.

"Qing'er..."

"Okay, go back first, be good!" Lu Qingqing didn't know what he was thinking. Before he could react, she quickly kissed him on the cheek, then walked into the room and closed the door.

Chu Haochen outside the door smiled helplessly, and then said he would come see her again tomorrow, and disappeared into the yard as soon as he finished speaking.

In the room, Lu Qingqing was lying next to the door. It was quiet outside. Only when she was sure that the person was gone, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards her big bed. As she walked, she pulled off her coat and threw it on the screen next to her.

I was already very tired after a hard night, so I got into the quilt and fell asleep quickly. I slept deeply that night until I was awakened by the sound of firecrackers in the early morning.

Biyun had already prepared some water and was waiting for her master to wake up.

When she came in the morning, she found that her master was still sleeping deeply, so she did not go forward to disturb him.

Lu Qingqing stretched on the bed and sat up, opened the bed curtain and shouted outside, "Biyun."

"Master, are you awake? I wish you a happy new year, master." After saying that, she knelt down and kowtowed. Lu Qingqing was completely awake at this moment. She chuckled and took out a red seal from under the pillow and gave it to Biyun.

"Get up."

Biyun stood up and walked towards the bed with a smile on her face. She took the reward from her master and happily put it into her arms, and began to help her master dress.

She listened to the sound of firecrackers outside and asked Biyun what time it was. Biyun chuckled and said it was still early.

She nodded, and Biyun took out a set of emerald Yanluo Qiyun skirt, paired with Shu brocade beaded embroidered shoes, and even the small accessories purse and jade pendant Biyun carefully matched.

Soon Biyun's skillful hands helped her clean it up properly.

Looking at the master in the bronze mirror, Biyun pursed his lips and smiled softly, "The master is really like what the painting book said without applying powder..."

Lu Qingqing burst into laughter. When did Biyun learn to read a picture book? While the master and servant were chatting and laughing, Xia Yun walked in with a cup of ginseng soup.

"Happy New Year, Master. This slave wishes Master a Happy New Year." As she said this, she put down the soup cup in her hand and knelt down to kowtow to Lu Qingqing.

The two maids seemed to be discussing it. She raised the corners of her lips and gave Biyun a wink. Biyun smiled and took out the red seal from the inner room and handed it to her.

"Okay, get up quickly." Xia Yunhan stood up with a smile, carefully patted his dress, took the red seal given by his master, covered it in his chest and smiled sillyly.

Biyun smiled and brought the ginseng soup over. She simply drank the ginseng soup and went to kowtow to her grandparents for New Year greetings.

"Let's go." The two maids looked at each other and smiled. They were both wearing new clothes given by their master today and followed happily.

Lu Qingqing walked straight towards her grandparents' yard, and happened to bump into Tiantian on the way, "Sister, happy New Year."

Looking at a pink brocade cloak, the person wearing it was even more playful and fair, and he was leaning toward her playfully.

"I knew I was going to meet you, girl. Come quickly." He said and handed her the red envelope he had prepared before going out.

"Take it, the lucky money."

Looking at today's first lucky money, Tiantian smiled and put it into her bag. Lu Qingqing was still wondering why this girl didn't go out today with a small handbag, so she reached out and tapped her forehead.

"You're such a bad girl, are you trying to save a dowry for yourself?" Tiantian stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and smiled, saying that there was no way! Isn't she just trying to get some luck?

Several maids pursed their lips and chuckled. The two sisters walked into the grandmother's yard while chatting and laughing. Aunt Qi heard the sisters' voices from a distance and stood in front of the door early to greet them.

"This old slave wishes the eldest and second young ladies a happy New Year."

Lu Qingqing stepped forward to support Nanny Qi. She smiled as she heard the auspicious words and said, "Happy New Year, Nanny." Biyun and Xia Shuang behind them both handed a red envelope to Nanny.

"Mommy, I'm asking for good luck, take it." Tiantian stood next to Lu Qingqing and winked playfully.

Aunt Qi nodded flattered, "Hey, hey, I'll thank you two little masters for taking it."

After saying that, she walked sideways to welcome the two young masters into the room. Inside, Mrs. Lu was twisting Buddhist beads in her hands, sitting cross-legged on the Arhat couch and looking toward the door with a smile on her face.

"Happy New Year to Grandpa and Grandma."

The two sisters shouted to Mrs. Lu in the room, took two quick steps, knelt down and kowtowed, but when they stood up, they did not see their grandfather in the room.

"Come in, you two girls got up so early, why didn't you get more sleep?" Old Mrs. Lu looked at the two sisters dressed like flowers with a loving face.

Several maids behind the two sisters stepped forward and bowed to Mrs. Lu, wishing her New Year greetings.

"Okay, okay, get up." The old lady smiled with her lips curved and her eyes narrowed.

Realizing that the two of them had been looking around the room, he curled his lips and explained, "Your grandfather and the others have gone into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, and they will all be in the palace today."
