Chapter 14: The Spirit of the Queen in Heaven

"I only drew three basins of water yesterday, and Ah Xuan used one for bathing. How come there are still three basins of water now?"

Yu'er tilted her head to look at the three basins of water beside the well, counting on her fingers, her little face full of confusion.

"Oh no, Yu'er's math is so terrible that she found out the flaw."

Li Xuan immediately felt guilty.

That's right, he actually drew this water from the well.

Cats draw water, fast and steady.

Usually Yu'er would be exhausted to draw water from the well, but now he can draw it very fast, and the windlass will make a whooshing sound when it is shaken.

He used more than one basin of water when he took a bath before. Before Yu'er woke up, he used a full ten basins of water to wash himself clean.

When Yu'er came, Li Xuan was already doing the final rinse.

But he didn't expect that just because he drew an extra basin of water, Yu'er felt something was wrong.

"Did I draw an extra basin of water yesterday?"

Yu'er tried to recall, but she didn't mean to suspect Li Xuan.

After all, normal people's thinking would never be able to turn to a kitten like him.

"Alas, my brain is getting worse and worse..."

In the end, Yu'er could only attribute it to her poor memory and let it go.

Seeing that Yu'er didn't think about it anymore, Li Xuan was relieved.

"Oh, it's already this time!"

Yu'er saw that the sky was completely bright, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, and hurriedly began to wash.

After washing in a few strokes, she wiped her face and said, "Ah Xuan, you play by yourself for a while, and I will come back to cook when the princess wakes up."

"Be good, go."

After Yu'er gave Li Xuan instructions, she hurriedly walked out of Jingyang Palace by herself.

Li Xuan knew that she would secretly help others do some work in the morning in exchange for some money and food to subsidize the livelihood of Jingyang Palace.

Li Xuan immediately meowed obediently and watched Yu'er leave.

"I was quite tired, but I feel refreshed after taking a bath."

A cold bath certainly refreshed me. Li Xuan didn't feel sleepy for a while, so he tried his new physical strength.

He first drew water from the well and filled three basins again.

It was easy for him to draw water now, which showed that he was stronger than Yu'er.

You know, after completing the ten tiger forms, Li Xuan's body only grew a little bigger.

It was amazing that such a small body contained such strength.

Li Xuan didn't think it was enough to fill three basins of water, so he continued to draw water and filled a water tank in the yard.

This water tank usually received rootless water, and it all depended on God to help fill it with water.

It would be more convenient to store clean water in the water tank, but Yu'er's strength was limited, and filling a water tank was a big project, so she never did it.

Now, Li Xuan was doing the experiment, and he accidentally filled the water tank to the brim.

"The strength test is successfully completed."

Li Xuan bent his arms, flexed his muscles, and showed a satisfied expression.

"Even the eunuchs in the palace should not be able to lift so much water in one breath, right?"

"The next is the flexibility test."

Li Xuan's eyes were deep, and then he rushed into the house, not knowing what experiment to continue.

...

An hour later.

Yu'er dragged her slightly tired body back to Jingyang Palace.

She helped to do the hard work that others were unwilling to do, otherwise they would not specially seek external help for compensation.

But even so, Yu'er was at a disadvantage in terms of price.

After all, everyone knew that she was a palace maid in the cold palace, and she had no backing at all, so she could lower the price as much as she wanted.

These people knew that Yu'er needed these extra rewards.

Of course, there are bad people and good people.

Some people saw that it was not easy for such a little girl, so they did not bargain and treated her kinder than others.

In this cold palace, it was a great blessing to treat a disadvantaged person equally.

Yu'er was busy for an hour, but she only earned ten copper coins.

These ten copper coins could usually be exchanged for some white rice and mixed into brown rice porridge.

But this month, all this money needs to be saved to buy enough brown rice.

Otherwise, Jingyang Palace will not be able to make ends meet this month.

Thinking about this, Yu'er walked towards the kitchen.

She had to make breakfast first, and then wait for Princess Ankang to get up.

But just as Yu'er walked to the kitchen door, she suddenly saw a bright light on the ground.

Her breathing suddenly became rapid. She seemed to be unhurried, but her feet quickened their pace and stepped on the glowing thing all of a sudden.

Yu'er swallowed subconsciously and looked around furtively.

But then he thought that this was in Jingyang Palace, and his nervous mood immediately relaxed.

"Oh, I didn't sleep well last night, and my mind is a mess."

"There are no outsiders here, so I have nothing to be afraid of."

Yu'er patted her head, and then picked up the glittering thing on the ground.

It was a piece of broken silver, weighing at least one tael.

Looking at the broken silver in her hand, Yu'er's throat made a "gulp" sound, and her eyes began to straighten.

You know, one tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins!

She worked hard for an hour in the morning to help others do hard work and only got ten copper coins as a reward.

One tael of silver, how much work would it take to earn it.

Yu'er didn't dare to think about it, just knew that this was a number she didn't even dare to think about.

She couldn't remember when she touched silver last time.

She lived by counting copper coins every day, and suddenly touching silver made Yu'er feel a wave of unreality.

"Isn't it that I haven't woken up yet, and I'm still dreaming?"

Yu'er took the silver blankly and looked around.

This is Jingyang Palace, except for two people and a cat, there is no one else.

But the problem is that even if the three of them were tied together, they would not be able to collect one or two taels of silver in their lifetime.

So who threw the money here?

"Strange, it's really strange."

Yu'er shook her head in confusion, and naturally put the silver into her arms and put it close to her body.

Although she tried her best to control the corners of her mouth, there was always a strange "grunting" sound leaking out of her mouth.

"Today there are so many strange things, puff..."

Yu'er didn't dare to delay any longer, and went straight into the kitchen with her head down.

What she picked up on the ground was broken silver, and there was no mark.

Take a few more bites when Yu'er has time, leaving a few of her own teeth marks, who can say that the silver is not hers.

Yu'er is timid, but she is not stupid.

Not to mention that this one or two pieces of broken silver can solve their food and clothing problems.

At least they don't have to worry about not having enough brown rice to eat.

"A blessing in disguise, your Majesty said it before."

"We had a bad day yesterday, but today we are lucky."

"It must be your Majesty's spirit in heaven, blessing us."

Thinking of this, Yu'er clasped her hands together excitedly, knelt on the ground and silently said: "Majesty Xiao, don't worry, I will take good care of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Thank you for your blessing!"
