Chapter 800

The place where Ye Lizhi was kneeling happened to be on the other side of the courtyard wall, and the gate was on the opposite side. Logically speaking, if they wanted to go out, they would definitely not pass by Ye Lizhi's side.

But there are still a few people who prefer to go far away instead of near, insisting on walking around Ye Lizhi's side, as if doing so will bring them great happiness.

—Happiness built on the pain of others.

His frozen fingers couldn't grasp the silk handkerchief in his palm, and when the wind blew, it slipped from his fingers, wanting to fly far away.

Ye Lizhi was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to grab it, but the back of her hand tightened, and a beautiful embroidered shoe pressed down, trampled on her hand, not only that, but also took the opportunity to spin it hard I rolled it a few times.

"Ah, Sister Ye, I'm sorry, what I said to my sisters just now was too involved, I didn't look at the way, didn't I hurt you?"

The owner of the embroidered shoe was crushed enough, so he 'quickly' removed the small foot, and said with a smile without sincerity.

In fact, it really didn't hurt much, because there was no hand stove to hold Ye Lizhi, and her fingers were already frozen.

She withdrew her hand, and simply didn't want the handkerchief that had abandoned its master without hesitation, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."

"Hehe...it's good that it's okay," Concubine Ning Gui and her companion continued to walk forward with a smile. They didn't know whether it was intentional or not, they stepped on the silk handkerchief that was blown up by the wind and then fell down, leaving a layer of stains.

The wind sent the arrogant and charming smiles of women after they succeeded in doing bad things.

Ye Lizhi listened silently with lowered eyelashes.

The heavy snow soon fell on her, and her whole body became like an ice sculpture, as if she wanted to merge with the world.

"Where's Sister Ye? Why hasn't she come back? Did she leave again? Huh... Sister Ye doesn't want Narcissus anymore..."

In Yingcui Palace, a ten-year-old girl was crying so hard that her heart was broken. The maids in the palace blocked the door, and when they saw her sobbing and crying out of breath, they couldn't bear it, so they couldn't help squatting down. Come on, wiping her tears with a handkerchief while coaxing her softly:
"Narcissus, don't cry. Your Majesty just went to pay her respects to the Imperial Concubine, but she didn't come back... probably because she was left behind by the Imperial Concubine. Your Majesty said that after coming back this time, she will never leave again. I won’t want daffodils~”

The teary-eyed little girl looked up at her, sobbing, "Really, really?"

The maid nodded repeatedly.

"Then why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Uh... this... the servants don't know..."

"Then I'm going to find her!"

Narcissus was like a little ox, about to hit her head on a rampage, the maids rushed up to her for fear of hurting her, and held her down with all hands and feet.

"Narcissus, calm down, the empress will come back!"

"I don't want it! I'm going to find her! It's getting dark outside, and Sister Ye won't be able to see the way when she comes back. I'm going to pick her up!"

"Narcissus!"

The maids screamed, and the little girl under her hands slid out like a loach, opened the carved wooden door, turned around and rushed into the night quickly.

"Quick! Go after him!"

But Narcissus, after rushing out of Yingcui Palace, has no idea where her sister Ye is now.

She ran around and looked around, like a lost deer, looking around in a daze as she ran forward, hoping that the familiar figure would appear in her vision without warning, giving her a sense of belonging. a clear direction.

But the small roads are dense and the corridors are long, each of which seems to have no end, making her walk for a long time without seeing the person she most wants to find at the moment.

The sound of chaotic footsteps came oncoming.

Narcissus looked up and saw a graceful and luxurious woman in a gorgeous dress slowly walking towards her, followed by a group of palace people with their heads bowed and walking hurriedly.

Although the woman was a bit older, Narcissus couldn't feel a trace of kindness and gentleness from her. Instead, she was subconsciously backed up by an invisible coercion before she pressed her back against the vermilion railing. stopped.

The palace lanterns hanging on both sides of the corridor swayed with the wind.

The group of people got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of Narcissus.

"Who are you?" She heard the seemingly unattainable woman asking.

Narcissus widened her innocent and clear round eyes, slowly stood up straight, and replied with some timidity:
"I, I am Narcissus."

"Bold! How can you call yourself 'I' in front of the Queen Mother? You..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a little eunuch with a high-pitched voice jumped out from behind the woman, pointed at the tip of her nose with a whisk and taught her a lesson.

Narcissus was sprayed with saliva by him, raised his sleeve to wipe it, and then continued to raise his face innocently, staring at the woman timidly.

"Okay, it's just a child, what are you fussing over?" The woman's slow tone sounded, and the little eunuch who was still jumping and drooling just now stopped talking, and quietly retreated behind her.

The woman only thought of her as a little palace lady who sneaked out, so she didn't take her seriously. Seeing her dumbfounded look, she just said "go back early, don't run around outside" and wanted to mention her. feet away.

However, as soon as he took two steps, a woman's face that was [-]% similar to the girl he saw just now popped out of his memory!
The Empress Dowager suddenly stopped in her tracks, and looked back. Under the bright palace lanterns, the girl who was frightened by them was still standing there blankly. Seeing her turn her head, she continued to stare at her.

The empress dowager gasped suddenly - who is she? !

The confidant at the side watched her master's words and expressions, and squinted a pair of shrewd old eyes to look at the girl for a long time, and then said in surprise:

"This... this child..."

The Empress Dowager answered in a low voice in surprise: "She looks too much like Concubine Hui..."

"But..." Momo thought carefully for a while before she spoke again: "But Concubine Hui, doesn't she have only one prince under her knee?"

According to the usual practice, after the death of the first emperor, all the concubines in the palace, except the empress, who had no children under their knees, had to be buried with them.

Neither she nor An Ruhui are small-minded people, so they kept all these concubines who had children or daughters under their knees, and did not wantonly kill them because of the death of the first emperor, but raised them in In the harem, unless ordered by the emperor, they are not allowed to step out of their respective palace gates.

And when their sons and daughters grow up, An Ruhui will personally arrange a way out for them. The brothers can enter the court as officials, or go out as generals, and the sisters will find a good marriage that is well-matched and make them look good. Just marry out of the palace.

It can be regarded as being benevolent.
