Chapter 5 Meeting
Chapter 5 Meeting
Today is a beautiful day, refreshing.I was woken up by the girl early in the morning to clean up and dress up. I was so sleepy that I couldn’t even open my eyes, so I just let her do it. When she wanted to make a fuss on my face, I was already awake. I don't want to either.I don't like makeup, so I always touch my face and nose unconsciously. If it is powdered and red, I will reach out and touch it, and it will be a lot of fun.But Xiaotao said again, which beautiful girl entered the palace with a plain face?It doesn't follow the rules either.I think so, so let her go, just remind her to put on light makeup. "Don't worry, after all these years of dressing up for you, don't I know how deep it is?" the girl said with a smile.I just closed my eyes and rested, feeling empty in my mind, and I didn't know what I was thinking. Xiaotao's hands and feet were always nimble, and she got it done in a short time. Let me take a closer look.I looked in the mirror, only to see a beautiful, clear and gentle woman looking at me with a smile, really not the slightest kitsch.
"Well, okay. Xiaotao, you are really amazing, you have made me so much more beautiful." I did not hesitate to praise, and the girl smiled happily: "Oh, but miss, you have changed recently, you are different." I was a little surprised , looking at her, she didn't feel anything, "Really, Miss, anyway, your whole appearance is different from before, I can't tell, it's different anyway." I felt relieved, it seemed that she just felt that my temperament had changed , but didn't think about anything else, so he asked her with a smile: "Is it getting better or getting worse?"
"Of course it's good. I think you've become happier, and you've become a bit like the young master, with a gentle look." I couldn't help laughing: "The little girl's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
"No, I'll show you the breakfast." Xiao Tao smiled and went.
Speaking of that younger brother, I couldn't help but think of the letter I received a few days ago, saying that my younger brother Minghui is now the eighth elder brother's companion, and he often lives in the palace, so we should take care of each other.I have never met the younger brother born to my aunt, nor have my aunt and sister. When I was at home, they went back to Suzhou to visit relatives.I asked Xiaotao from the side, and I just knew that we were getting along well.That younger brother is very smart and capable, and he gets along well with me, so I feel relieved a little, he will not come to trouble me for no reason, as for whether he is smart enough to see through everything, I can only take one step at a time up.Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Xiaochun coming in to have dinner with me, so I smiled and asked her to sit down and eat together.After dinner, the two of us walked hand in hand to gather in the front yard.As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I saw Nalan Rongyue approaching as enchantingly as if being held by stars, she paused in front of me, I smiled and nodded, she was stunned, and then went.I turned around and saw that Xiaochun was also watching her leave in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
"what happened?"
"Ah, it's okay, sister, let's go too." She seemed to wake up from a start, and quickly took my hand and walked away.I was a little puzzled in my heart, I always felt that her emotions were not right, but she didn't tell me that it would be fine, so I had to pay more attention.We all boarded the carriage in groups of two in order, Xiaochun and I were not together, the girl in the same carriage was just familiar, and usually greeted each other when we met, so we had nothing to say along the way.
Setting off towards the Forbidden City, I leaned against the car window and looked at the blue sky outside, thinking that Beijing is so clean now, but for some reason, I really wanted to go back.For the first time since I came here, I miss my family and my original life like this.I don't know what this means, the future is like this sky, clear and transparent but nothing can be seen.After a while, I entered the Xihua Gate.Guards stood all around, holding knives and sabers. The gate of the palace was high and quiet.This is a place I'm used to seeing in the 21st century, but now I feel that it is so majestic, and the sense of oppression is extremely strong. My heart is beating wildly, but my face is fine. Desperately twisting the handkerchief, looking straight at me.
The car was walking slowly, and I looked around. There were pavilions, towers, pavilions, and palaces. Everything was tall, big, and quiet, and I couldn't see a single tree.The red walls and golden tiles set against the blue sky, and the white marble railings are so beautiful, but I can't feel a trace of warmth. I just feel that goose bumps are popping up, and I rub my arms unconsciously.It’s funny to say, I am very familiar with this place, I don’t know how many times I’ve been here before, I see that this path is going to Longzongmen, after passing there and walking forward is the Imperial Dining Room, I wonder where this is going, always Shouldn't it be sent directly to the imperial dining room and chopped up...
With a "chuck", I couldn't help laughing out. When I looked up, I saw the girl looking at me with an incredible expression. I smiled at her, and turned my head to look outside again.Sure enough, as I expected, we all got out of the car after passing the Longzong Gate. After counting the number of people, we lined up and walked in the direction of Chuxiu Palace.The more I walked, the more I felt that this was the same path I took to find Xiaoqiu, so I looked around to see if I could find the mysterious house.But after walking for more than half, they turned westward to a large courtyard, where everyone was assigned to a single room, served by the eunuch Su La, and an old eunuch announced the rules, to the effect that they should not walk around randomly and must obey the rules, etc. wait.Xiaochun and I were a little farther away this time, but it was okay, I heard that we could still drop by during the stipulated hours.
When I entered my own room and looked around, there were only simple beds, tables, chairs, and cabinets.I put my baggage aside and wanted to drink some water, but I couldn't find a kettle. I couldn't help thinking of the time when Xiaotao was serving me, and I sighed in my heart. It really is hard to turn extravagance into frugality!It's only been two months since I became dependent.I pushed the door and went out to see if anyone was watching, but it was very quiet around, and those beautiful girls seemed to be resting. I never liked to take a nap since I was a child, and I was too embarrassed to disturb Xiaochun, so I could only hold the water bottle by myself. Wander around the yard to see if you can find a water house.When I walked to a porch, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a small garden here, with rockery, small bridges, and flowing water. I couldn't help but walked over happily, squatting by the water, watching the koi in the water swimming towards me, maybe thinking that I To feed, I reached out and teased them.
"Hey, you're still so comfortable." A joke came from behind me.I was startled, and immediately turned around to see that face that had vaguely troubled me for two months was smiling at me.I stood up, a little happy in my heart, and some unknown emotions were churning, "Hmph, you are still elusive, kid." He frowned: "Don't call me a kid, we are the same! "
"Hehe, yes." I smiled, no matter what, it's still a happy thing to see someone I recognize here.But then I thought about it, "Why are you here, who are you?" I looked directly at him, only to see him come forward with a rogue smile, "Kiss me once, and I'll tell you." Almost didn't stand up, this little pervert, really...
Just trying to teach him a lesson. "Thirteenth brother, don't make nonsense!" There was a stern voice, very dignified, I turned my head and saw a young man in his twenties, wearing a sky-blue robe and a yellow belt around his waist. Silkworm eyebrows, straight nose and mouth, but a pair of dark eyes are cold and oppressive.And at this moment, those eyes were fixed on me. "Fourth brother, why are you here?" The boy asked with a smile instead of surprise.
Well, that's it, my hair really stood on end, and I'd be a fool if I didn't know who they were.I stood there stupidly, watching the characters that only existed in history books stand in front of me, I suddenly felt like crying, and my mind was in a mess.
"Fourth brother, she is the beautiful girl I mentioned to you..." In a trance, the boy—no—it should be said that it was Brother Thirteen's voice sounded in my ears, and I suddenly came back to my senses, Finding that the fourth elder brother, the future Emperor Yongzheng, was already standing in front of me, I secretly swallowed my saliva.
"From the Yalaltas?"
"Ah, yes." I quickly collected myself and replied quietly. "Do you know who we are?" I was taken aback, looked at him, then at Elder Brother Thirteen, instinctively wanting to avoid this question, I always feel that it is not good to be connected with them.But that Yongzheng's eyes are too scary, I really feel like looking into the depths of my heart, making my heart feel like freezing.Maybe it was because I was too nervous, but instead I calmed down and leaned down straightly: "Now I understand, please greet the two elder brothers, good luck." I followed the rules I had learned meticulously.
"Oh, get up."
I got up and looked up, only to see that the fourth master's eyes were more interesting. "How is she? Interesting." Brother Thirteen asked with a smile. "Hmph." Fourth Master replied coldly.It's the first time for me to be judged face to face like this, but it's okay, I thought that if you treat me as a dead person, then I'll be fine.He was standing there awkwardly, when he suddenly heard a human voice...
"Fourth brother is so excited, he will come here to see the beautiful girl?" A rough voice came, and I followed the voice, and there was a person leaning against the rockery, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a square mouth with a lion nose. , looking at this side carelessly. "It seems that fourth brother is usually a fake Taoist." The man curled his lips.
"Tenth brother, don't talk nonsense." Suddenly another gentle voice came, I blinked and saw another person coming out from behind the rockery.Moon-white robe, slender figure, round face, bright eyebrows, smiling.He looked over.My eyes met his. He was stunned and looked at me. I lowered my head and showed proper etiquette, but I vaguely guessed who they were, and felt a little funny in my heart.God has treated me kindly. On the first day I entered the palace, I saw so many characters. I really don’t know how jealous those historians are about my experience.But thinking about this period of history mentioned in the history books, the battle for the throne between these brothers made him frown secretly.I don't want to stir up this mess, I just want to stay here for the time being, I just want to see it, but I don't want to die here.Thinking about the methods of these people in front of me, I suddenly found that the cold sweat on my body kept breaking out, and I took two steps back unconsciously.In a flash, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang leaned over, I looked up, he was obliquely blocking me, although he was only half a head taller than me, he gave me a sense of security, holding me with one hand His wrist is very tight and a little painful, but I know I can't get rid of his kindness, alas!This child... As for what other people think, they can only ignore it.
"Big Brother, Brother Ten are also in good spirits." I heard him go back sarcastically, Brother Ten hardened his face when he heard this, and opened his mouth to say something, but seeing Brother Si swallowed it back again, that Brother Yinzhen was still so cold Cold, silent. "Hehe, I was just passing by after school and heard someone's voice, so I came over to have a look, but coincidentally I ran into it." The eighth elder brother Yinsi said with a smile.
I watched quietly from the side, obviously they were more scruples about the fourth child.The person next to me doesn't care about it, thinking about it, no matter whether it is official history or unofficial history, the fate of these thirteen elder brothers is very rough, which is pitiful and lamentable.My heart ached, and I couldn't help looking at him, those black eyes were looking at me.I don't know whether my expression contains pity or what, he was stunned, and then smiled happily.I looked at him foolishly, and I just felt that his happy appearance made people feel very warm.
"This girl is..." The gentle voice sounded, and I woke up suddenly. I remembered where I was and who I was with.It's strange to say that the extremely excited mood just calmed down now, maybe because I come from the future, whether it is because I have seen things through, or I have a feeling of staying out of it, facing a group of people I know their fate I have a very detached feeling, a bit like watching a theater, but I am in it.But I still secretly remind myself, try not to affect history, and be careful in what you say and do.But no matter what, I was so calm that I was a little surprised. I took a breath, and went down straightly: "Greetings to the eighth master and the tenth master. The two masters are auspicious. The servant is..." Before I finished speaking...
"Sister?!" There was an exclamation, and I couldn't help standing up and looking around. A boy who was about my age was looking at me in surprise. Nod to him with a smile.
"It's your sister? Minghui." Brother Ten asked in surprise, then turned his head to look at me.
"It turned out to be Lord Yinglu's palm bead." Yinsi said with a light smile.
"Yes, it's the slave's eldest sister. I heard from my father that I'm coming in today, but I didn't expect to meet here." My younger brother said respectfully, looked up and saw Yinzhen and Yinxiang standing there, and hurried up to salute , but my sister didn't dare to pay more attention to it, but there were countless question marks in her eyes.I looked at him and could only smile wryly, what did I say, I don't understand how they all came here.I just feel that the dark tide is raging between them brothers, even though I am standing on the shore, I am also uncomfortably slapped by the wave, it is indescribably awkward, but I can't walk away.I just didn't know how to deal with myself, when I saw a little eunuch running over, and suddenly saw these masters, he was also frightened, and hurried up to greet everyone, saw me, wanted to talk, but stood aside again .
"What's the matter?" Fourth Master asked.
"Ah, back to the master, the slave came out to find this... um... this girl. It's time for all the ladies to gather for Chuxiu Palace."
"Oh, isn't it officially elected tomorrow?" Brother Eight asked.
"Yes, Master Nalan and several other masters are praying for blessings together today. I just want to take a look at the time this afternoon, so..."
"Well, I see, then you can take this girl there quickly." The fourth elder brother said.
The little eunuch ran over and said, "Girl, please." Only then did I react and salute them, knowing that Elder Thirteen had been looking at me, but I knew I couldn't look back.This group of people is fine here, and half a step wrong will cause disaster.I straightened my back and followed the little eunuch away. I don't know if I was nervous, but I felt a few eyes on my back, and my heart twisted, but I didn't want to be seen at all. Anbu walked over like a car.
Turning around the corridor, blocking those sightlines, just breathed a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard Elder Brother Ten say: "Humph, I'm a draft girl tomorrow, I have to go and watch the fun, fourth brother, eighth brother, thirteenth brother, come together?" That tone surprised me, and I only felt that it was full of unknown malice.I just let go of my heart and raised it again. I don't know if tomorrow will...
"Girl, this way."
"Ah." When I looked up, I saw the little eunuch looking at me inexplicably, and then I realized that I stopped unconsciously, and I couldn't hear anything when I turned my head.Sighing, I vaguely realized that some things had gone off my original track, but I was powerless to pull them back.I followed the little eunuch with heavy steps, the sun shone on me hotly, and I felt cold all over. This is the first time I have come here and dare not think about tomorrow's things...
I hurried back and saw that everyone had already lined up. As soon as I showed my face, I shot over.I couldn't control it too much, I looked up and saw Xiaochun was beckoning to me, so I hurried back to my place.I knew that Xiaochun was looking at me with all kinds of doubts, but I really couldn't say anything at this juncture, so I had to turn my head and pretend not to care.As soon as I raised my eyes, I met Nalan Rongyue's gaze, which was cold and deep. I couldn't help shivering, and quickly turned my head to look at it.I thought to myself, since I met her till now, I have never dared to look at her directly, but after these things happened today, I can't look at her eyes that seem to know something.I was angry, confused, and worried. All kinds of emotions were stuffed tightly in my chest like cotton soaked with water, making my breathing heavy.
"Sister?" I was gently pushed on the back. "Ah?" Seeing that Xiaochun was looking at me suspiciously, I realized that the team was already marching, so I smiled gratefully at Xiaochun, and hurriedly followed.I was in a daze along the way, like a cat scratching my heart, but I couldn't say anything, so I could only do psychological construction for myself, and I calmed down after a while.With peace of mind, my mind cleared up, and I looked around carefully, as if I was walking in the direction of Jingren Palace.Thinking back to what the little eunuch said just now, that master Nalan is obviously the elder brother's biological mother - Concubine Nalan.Although Mingzhu is no longer in power, I remember that this empress is still very favored. She is the first concubine who gave birth to a son. Now that the palace is in vain, it is obvious that she is vaguely the lord of the six palaces. This kind of draft thing It was supposed to be presided over by the queen.Then I thought that Nalan Rongyue's self-confidence was probably due to the support of this aunt.Thinking about her gaze just now, I really had to guard against it, I secretly alerted myself.He couldn't help looking up at Nalan Rongyue who was obliquely in front of him, and saw that she was walking elegantly and dignifiedly, with a hidden smile on her face and high eyebrows.Oh, so confident!I secretly sighed, in a few more years, once the eldest brother fell, wouldn't the wealth and glory of the Nalan family disappear in smoke?Can't help but shake his head.After thinking about it, how can I care about others now, thinking of what Elder Brother Shi said just now, it makes people uneasy.As I was thinking wildly, I came to an open space. The eunuch who guided everyone stopped and stood up in a row. I was next to Xiaochun, and seeing her face turned pale, I smiled at her comfortingly, and she also returned. A pitiful smile was given to me, and I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes, this girl's psychological quality is really...
After waiting for a while, no one came over. The six hundred beautiful women stood like wooden sculptures of clay, the sun was burning hot on their heads, everyone was sweating, but no one dared to move.Standing there, I couldn't help but think of the time when the university army trained in military posture, which was similar to now, but at that time there were instructors watching, and I didn't dare to move, but now no one is watching, I still can't move, others are fine, I can't be too out of line, I'm really helpless.I thought that if someone told me now that anyone who couldn’t hold on would be disqualified, I would immediately sit on the ground and let them carry me out, so I wouldn’t suffer from this crime.The only thing on my body that can move is my eyeballs, but I am too tired to look around all the time, so I just close my eyes and rest my mind.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a group of people meandering towards him.The first ones are a few noble ladies, surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, dressed in phoenix crowns and flags, stepping on the bottom of the flowerpot, walking towards this side with their heads held high.I couldn't help being refreshed, and looked carefully at these concubines of Emperor Kangxi. I had read "Biography of Empresses and Concubines of the Qing Dynasty", and I was very interested in some of the characters in it.The first one was a tall woman with apricot eyes, crescent eyebrows, oval face, slender nose, in her thirties, but the corners of her mouth were raised, revealing an indescribable arrogance.I knew in my heart that this must be Concubine Nalan, so I couldn't help taking a peek at Nalan Rongyue, seeing a hint of excitement and complacency on her face, I was even more sure that my guess was right.Looking carefully, there is another empress walking behind Nalan Guifei, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and phoenix eyes, with a serene, dignified and reserved look.The two of them led the way, and the rest of the palace people were separated by a distance.After a while, he walked up to us and stood still. I was guessing the identity of another concubine when I saw the leading eunuch rushing up to ask for his blessings: "My servant greets the imperial concubine and the concubine de concubine." Only then did I understand. It turned out that she was Yongzheng's own mother, the future queen mother, and she couldn't help but take a closer look.Suddenly Concubine De's eyes shot over, and I looked at each other, I was startled, I hurriedly lowered my head, after a while I felt the eyes disappear, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.I heard someone say again: "This is the show girl selected in this year's primary?" I hurriedly listened attentively. "Yes, speaking back to your lord, today there are 580 seven ladies in total, 570 in the Eight Banners, and [-] in the Han Army Banner."
"Hmm... Sister, look, this year's show girls are all beautiful." Concubine Nalan turned her head and smiled at Concubine De.
"Yes." De Fei nodded gently.The two empresses gracefully walked up to the beautiful girls in the front row, and looked at them one by one. When they reached Nalan Rongyue, the noble master paused, and then walked down without leaving a trace.I sneaked a peek and saw that Nalan Rongyue's face was already flushed, but she was trying to calm herself down and her hands were trembling a little.For some reason, I wanted to laugh a little. It seems that this Nalan girl is not a material for cheating. She became excited when she saw an acquaintance.While snickering, a figure flashed, I looked up, and saw Concubine Nalan standing in front of me, staring at me.I was taken aback, and someone next to me immediately reminded me: "Quickly greet your master."
"Ah, my maidservant pays respects to the imperial concubine and empress, the empress is auspicious." I greeted the imperial concubine firmly. "Well, whose family are you a child from?" Concubine Nalan looked me up and down, and at this time Concubine De also came up and stood aside and looked at me.I took a deep breath and replied calmly: "Back to your mother, the servant's father is Yinglu with a yellow flag." Although I lowered my head, I still felt Nalan's breath change: "It's Yalarta My dear, raise your head, let me take a look." There was something clearly in Concubine Nalan's tone, I couldn't tell, I could only raise my head respectfully, and exchanged a glance with her. "Well, it looks really good! What do you think, sister?" Concubine Nalan looked back and asked Concubine De with a smile. "Well, yes, Qinglang Wenxiu, I heard that Mrs. Yinglu's wife comes from a scholarly family. It seems that this girl is really well raised. How old are you?" Six." Ordinarily, it is a good thing to be praised by others, but there are still these people here, I really don't feel very happy, I didn't want to be famous, but I don't know why I asked me if there were any, but I still had to do it on my face smile.Just as I was thinking about it, the words of Concubine Nalan really made me unable to laugh: "That's right, otherwise how could someone snatch it..."
I lay on my back on the bed, looked at the high roof and Chengchen, felt my heart gradually calmed down, and began to think carefully about what happened in the afternoon...
"Elder sister was joking." Empress Defei smiled and glanced at me, but I was already in a daze and couldn't speak, I just felt my scalp was numb, my face was so hot that it seemed to be burning, and my mind was spinning all kinds of thoughts crazily .What does she mean by that, it's only been an hour since I left there, have some rumors spread to the harem?Who told it, what was said, and who else knows?Is this warning me or... I suddenly felt like fainting, but my heart was very clear. These thoughts just flashed through my mind for a moment, and I immediately raised my head to look at Concubine Nalan, But she had already walked forward calmly, and when she looked at Concubine De, she also followed her.I couldn't see anything from their faces, and I had no way of knowing what was wrong.I ordered myself to calm down, took two deep breaths, and felt much better, and then I got a sense of my surroundings...
hehe!It turns out that the feeling of being watched by everyone is like this. Countless eyes shot at me, some of which were very penetrating. I turned my head and looked at Xiaochun, and found that she was looking at me intently. A layer of mist makes it difficult to see what is contained in it.It's just that this is the first time she looked at me with this kind of eyes. I smiled at her, and when I turned around, I didn't want to see her expression, and sighed in my heart, is my only friend going to be lost too? "Ah!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help sighing again, after thinking for a while, I still felt a little confused.
"I really can't tell, her usual appearance..." A burst of whispers came in from the window, I used my toes to figure out that it was talking about me, turned around on the kang, not wanting to listen, I It's already annoying. "Hmph, don't dogs that can bite people bark?" A voice came clearly, and it was not a whisper. It seemed that Miss Nalan was deliberately trying to find trouble because she was afraid that I would not hear her.It looks like I really stole her limelight today, but I really don't want to.I couldn't help but roll my eyes, let her say whatever she likes, it's not her who is killing her now.I sat up, rubbed my temples, and suddenly missed those two girls.well!Now there is no one to serve, so I have to massage myself.
"Keng! Keng!" Someone knocked on the door, "Sister?" I was taken aback, but it was Xiaochun's voice. I thought she wouldn't come to talk to me for a while, but now she... guessed her reason for coming: "Xiaochun? Come in." I quickly stood up.After tidying up, Xiaochun had already come in, stood at the door, looked at me and didn't speak, I also looked at her, subconsciously trying to see something from her expression, it took a while before I realized, "Cough, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Come and sit down." I calmed down first. I am not a person who is good at exhausting all my energy and thinking.I smiled, sat down first, poured two cups of tea, handed a cup to Xiaochun, and slowly blown the tea foam by myself without opening my mouth.I know that this girl's usual patience is forced, and she is not a patient person, so I don't need to say, she will naturally ask.Peeking out of the corner of her eyes, her gaze didn't fall on me, she just lowered her head and rubbed the corner of the clothes vigorously.Suddenly she raised her head, and I quickly turned my gaze away, pretending to concentrate on drinking tea.
"Sister, what's going on today? They're talking about it badly." Xiaochun's face was flushed, her breathing was a little short, and she looked at me nervously.I glanced at her: "Do you believe what they said?" I didn't answer, but asked back. This was obviously beyond Xiaochun's expectation. She was taken aback, and I looked at her calmly. She lowered her head After thinking about it quietly, I resolutely raised my head and looked into my eyes: "I don't believe it, I only believe what you said."
"Oh, that's it..." I looked at her and thought to myself that maybe 100% of what I said was true, but that was enough, as far as our friendship is concerned.After all, that kind of confidant who you trust [-]% is not easy to come across.I smiled lightly: "Actually, I don't really understand it myself, maybe it's because of my father. After all, he also has some power, so as his daughter, it's not surprising that someone wants it." I vaguely gave an explanation.It's been said that people instinctively feel awe of what they don't know or can't do, so while my current father's power may not be able to pull that off at all, I'd say the same.It is expected that this kind of thing about fighting for power and profit is the most ambiguous thing. Xiaochun was born in an official family, so she understands this kind of thing. She may be able to accept this kind of answer. If you really tell her frankly, maybe your friend didn't do it, but instead made something out of it. an enemy is coming.
"That's how it is... Then your master Nalan said that... Is your family on good terms with Nalan's family?" Xiaochun was also a little confused. "There is no friendship. If it was really good, she wouldn't say that..." I made a face at her. "Ah." Xiaochun looked at me stupidly, completely unable to understand what I was talking about.I couldn't help shaking my head, this girl is so straight, how can she mess around in this kind of place, I smiled, and pointed out the window: "Do you think this is a good name?" He said in relief: "It's true. Fortunately, my sister has always been open-minded and doesn't mind." I couldn't help but smile wryly, what can I do if I am not open-minded, if the door of time and space opens right next to me, I will immediately jump out to give those eight people a smile. The mother-in-law slapped each other, and then disappeared.hehe!That must be cool, but now... oh!
Xiaochun saw me laughing and sighing, and didn't know what I was thinking, but he was used to my fugue.She stood up: "Sister?"
"Huh?" I came back to my senses. "Then I won't bother you anymore, I'll pass on the dinner later, how about I bring it to eat with you?" Xiaochun smiled and got the answer, obviously returning to her usual appearance. "Okay, then I'll wait for you." I said with a smile, and stood up to send her out.
"Huh", I let out a sigh of relief, at least I solved a problem, after all Xiaochun is young and innocent, I am not ten years older than her in vain.But when I think of the imperial concubine, those elder brothers, and those who know me but I don't know him, I can't help but have a headache again.Since coming here, I have never wanted to go home as strongly as tonight. This has become my first goal.All I have to do now is to survive in this weird palace and go home.I stretched my waist greatly, and with a goal, there is hope, and I feel a little better.
After having dinner with Xiaochun and chatting for a while, we each went to rest. After all, tomorrow is the top priority. I didn't care about it at first, but now everything is different. I have to deal with it with 12 points of energy.After washing up indiscriminately, I just lay down when there was a light knock on the door. I was surprised, it was so late, who was it?
"Who is it?" I asked, but no one answered.But I was sure I heard it right, so I asked again, but still no one responded.I was a little startled, and swallowed to calm myself down.It can't be Xiaochun, and someone should come to harm me, right?After all, I am famous today, if there is anything, it will be too conspicuous.After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out. I gritted my teeth, put on my clothes, got up and walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door suddenly... There was nothing outside, it was pitch black, and everything was quiet except for the sound of the wind. I couldn't help laughing secretly that I might be nervous, I lowered my head and wanted to close the door...
Huh?What is this, I bent down to see, a small piece of paper was lying quietly by the door. "Boom!" I just felt the blood go straight to my forehead, and I picked it up with lightning speed, closed the door, took off my shoes, and got on the kang, all in one go, with my head covered under the quilt and gasping for breath.
After a while, I felt that my heartbeat was normal. I stretched out my head and looked around in private. I only felt that my body was full of guilty conscience. It was very exciting, but it was not funny at all.I stabilized myself, and didn't dare to light the lamp. I could only walk to the window with bare feet and no sound. I was terrified by the moonlight. I felt cold on the soles of my feet, but my hands didn't shake at all. Open it up, there are only two words...
(End of this chapter)
Today is a beautiful day, refreshing.I was woken up by the girl early in the morning to clean up and dress up. I was so sleepy that I couldn’t even open my eyes, so I just let her do it. When she wanted to make a fuss on my face, I was already awake. I don't want to either.I don't like makeup, so I always touch my face and nose unconsciously. If it is powdered and red, I will reach out and touch it, and it will be a lot of fun.But Xiaotao said again, which beautiful girl entered the palace with a plain face?It doesn't follow the rules either.I think so, so let her go, just remind her to put on light makeup. "Don't worry, after all these years of dressing up for you, don't I know how deep it is?" the girl said with a smile.I just closed my eyes and rested, feeling empty in my mind, and I didn't know what I was thinking. Xiaotao's hands and feet were always nimble, and she got it done in a short time. Let me take a closer look.I looked in the mirror, only to see a beautiful, clear and gentle woman looking at me with a smile, really not the slightest kitsch.
"Well, okay. Xiaotao, you are really amazing, you have made me so much more beautiful." I did not hesitate to praise, and the girl smiled happily: "Oh, but miss, you have changed recently, you are different." I was a little surprised , looking at her, she didn't feel anything, "Really, Miss, anyway, your whole appearance is different from before, I can't tell, it's different anyway." I felt relieved, it seemed that she just felt that my temperament had changed , but didn't think about anything else, so he asked her with a smile: "Is it getting better or getting worse?"
"Of course it's good. I think you've become happier, and you've become a bit like the young master, with a gentle look." I couldn't help laughing: "The little girl's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
"No, I'll show you the breakfast." Xiao Tao smiled and went.
Speaking of that younger brother, I couldn't help but think of the letter I received a few days ago, saying that my younger brother Minghui is now the eighth elder brother's companion, and he often lives in the palace, so we should take care of each other.I have never met the younger brother born to my aunt, nor have my aunt and sister. When I was at home, they went back to Suzhou to visit relatives.I asked Xiaotao from the side, and I just knew that we were getting along well.That younger brother is very smart and capable, and he gets along well with me, so I feel relieved a little, he will not come to trouble me for no reason, as for whether he is smart enough to see through everything, I can only take one step at a time up.Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Xiaochun coming in to have dinner with me, so I smiled and asked her to sit down and eat together.After dinner, the two of us walked hand in hand to gather in the front yard.As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I saw Nalan Rongyue approaching as enchantingly as if being held by stars, she paused in front of me, I smiled and nodded, she was stunned, and then went.I turned around and saw that Xiaochun was also watching her leave in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
"what happened?"
"Ah, it's okay, sister, let's go too." She seemed to wake up from a start, and quickly took my hand and walked away.I was a little puzzled in my heart, I always felt that her emotions were not right, but she didn't tell me that it would be fine, so I had to pay more attention.We all boarded the carriage in groups of two in order, Xiaochun and I were not together, the girl in the same carriage was just familiar, and usually greeted each other when we met, so we had nothing to say along the way.
Setting off towards the Forbidden City, I leaned against the car window and looked at the blue sky outside, thinking that Beijing is so clean now, but for some reason, I really wanted to go back.For the first time since I came here, I miss my family and my original life like this.I don't know what this means, the future is like this sky, clear and transparent but nothing can be seen.After a while, I entered the Xihua Gate.Guards stood all around, holding knives and sabers. The gate of the palace was high and quiet.This is a place I'm used to seeing in the 21st century, but now I feel that it is so majestic, and the sense of oppression is extremely strong. My heart is beating wildly, but my face is fine. Desperately twisting the handkerchief, looking straight at me.
The car was walking slowly, and I looked around. There were pavilions, towers, pavilions, and palaces. Everything was tall, big, and quiet, and I couldn't see a single tree.The red walls and golden tiles set against the blue sky, and the white marble railings are so beautiful, but I can't feel a trace of warmth. I just feel that goose bumps are popping up, and I rub my arms unconsciously.It’s funny to say, I am very familiar with this place, I don’t know how many times I’ve been here before, I see that this path is going to Longzongmen, after passing there and walking forward is the Imperial Dining Room, I wonder where this is going, always Shouldn't it be sent directly to the imperial dining room and chopped up...
With a "chuck", I couldn't help laughing out. When I looked up, I saw the girl looking at me with an incredible expression. I smiled at her, and turned my head to look outside again.Sure enough, as I expected, we all got out of the car after passing the Longzong Gate. After counting the number of people, we lined up and walked in the direction of Chuxiu Palace.The more I walked, the more I felt that this was the same path I took to find Xiaoqiu, so I looked around to see if I could find the mysterious house.But after walking for more than half, they turned westward to a large courtyard, where everyone was assigned to a single room, served by the eunuch Su La, and an old eunuch announced the rules, to the effect that they should not walk around randomly and must obey the rules, etc. wait.Xiaochun and I were a little farther away this time, but it was okay, I heard that we could still drop by during the stipulated hours.
When I entered my own room and looked around, there were only simple beds, tables, chairs, and cabinets.I put my baggage aside and wanted to drink some water, but I couldn't find a kettle. I couldn't help thinking of the time when Xiaotao was serving me, and I sighed in my heart. It really is hard to turn extravagance into frugality!It's only been two months since I became dependent.I pushed the door and went out to see if anyone was watching, but it was very quiet around, and those beautiful girls seemed to be resting. I never liked to take a nap since I was a child, and I was too embarrassed to disturb Xiaochun, so I could only hold the water bottle by myself. Wander around the yard to see if you can find a water house.When I walked to a porch, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a small garden here, with rockery, small bridges, and flowing water. I couldn't help but walked over happily, squatting by the water, watching the koi in the water swimming towards me, maybe thinking that I To feed, I reached out and teased them.
"Hey, you're still so comfortable." A joke came from behind me.I was startled, and immediately turned around to see that face that had vaguely troubled me for two months was smiling at me.I stood up, a little happy in my heart, and some unknown emotions were churning, "Hmph, you are still elusive, kid." He frowned: "Don't call me a kid, we are the same! "
"Hehe, yes." I smiled, no matter what, it's still a happy thing to see someone I recognize here.But then I thought about it, "Why are you here, who are you?" I looked directly at him, only to see him come forward with a rogue smile, "Kiss me once, and I'll tell you." Almost didn't stand up, this little pervert, really...
Just trying to teach him a lesson. "Thirteenth brother, don't make nonsense!" There was a stern voice, very dignified, I turned my head and saw a young man in his twenties, wearing a sky-blue robe and a yellow belt around his waist. Silkworm eyebrows, straight nose and mouth, but a pair of dark eyes are cold and oppressive.And at this moment, those eyes were fixed on me. "Fourth brother, why are you here?" The boy asked with a smile instead of surprise.
Well, that's it, my hair really stood on end, and I'd be a fool if I didn't know who they were.I stood there stupidly, watching the characters that only existed in history books stand in front of me, I suddenly felt like crying, and my mind was in a mess.
"Fourth brother, she is the beautiful girl I mentioned to you..." In a trance, the boy—no—it should be said that it was Brother Thirteen's voice sounded in my ears, and I suddenly came back to my senses, Finding that the fourth elder brother, the future Emperor Yongzheng, was already standing in front of me, I secretly swallowed my saliva.
"From the Yalaltas?"
"Ah, yes." I quickly collected myself and replied quietly. "Do you know who we are?" I was taken aback, looked at him, then at Elder Brother Thirteen, instinctively wanting to avoid this question, I always feel that it is not good to be connected with them.But that Yongzheng's eyes are too scary, I really feel like looking into the depths of my heart, making my heart feel like freezing.Maybe it was because I was too nervous, but instead I calmed down and leaned down straightly: "Now I understand, please greet the two elder brothers, good luck." I followed the rules I had learned meticulously.
"Oh, get up."
I got up and looked up, only to see that the fourth master's eyes were more interesting. "How is she? Interesting." Brother Thirteen asked with a smile. "Hmph." Fourth Master replied coldly.It's the first time for me to be judged face to face like this, but it's okay, I thought that if you treat me as a dead person, then I'll be fine.He was standing there awkwardly, when he suddenly heard a human voice...
"Fourth brother is so excited, he will come here to see the beautiful girl?" A rough voice came, and I followed the voice, and there was a person leaning against the rockery, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a square mouth with a lion nose. , looking at this side carelessly. "It seems that fourth brother is usually a fake Taoist." The man curled his lips.
"Tenth brother, don't talk nonsense." Suddenly another gentle voice came, I blinked and saw another person coming out from behind the rockery.Moon-white robe, slender figure, round face, bright eyebrows, smiling.He looked over.My eyes met his. He was stunned and looked at me. I lowered my head and showed proper etiquette, but I vaguely guessed who they were, and felt a little funny in my heart.God has treated me kindly. On the first day I entered the palace, I saw so many characters. I really don’t know how jealous those historians are about my experience.But thinking about this period of history mentioned in the history books, the battle for the throne between these brothers made him frown secretly.I don't want to stir up this mess, I just want to stay here for the time being, I just want to see it, but I don't want to die here.Thinking about the methods of these people in front of me, I suddenly found that the cold sweat on my body kept breaking out, and I took two steps back unconsciously.In a flash, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang leaned over, I looked up, he was obliquely blocking me, although he was only half a head taller than me, he gave me a sense of security, holding me with one hand His wrist is very tight and a little painful, but I know I can't get rid of his kindness, alas!This child... As for what other people think, they can only ignore it.
"Big Brother, Brother Ten are also in good spirits." I heard him go back sarcastically, Brother Ten hardened his face when he heard this, and opened his mouth to say something, but seeing Brother Si swallowed it back again, that Brother Yinzhen was still so cold Cold, silent. "Hehe, I was just passing by after school and heard someone's voice, so I came over to have a look, but coincidentally I ran into it." The eighth elder brother Yinsi said with a smile.
I watched quietly from the side, obviously they were more scruples about the fourth child.The person next to me doesn't care about it, thinking about it, no matter whether it is official history or unofficial history, the fate of these thirteen elder brothers is very rough, which is pitiful and lamentable.My heart ached, and I couldn't help looking at him, those black eyes were looking at me.I don't know whether my expression contains pity or what, he was stunned, and then smiled happily.I looked at him foolishly, and I just felt that his happy appearance made people feel very warm.
"This girl is..." The gentle voice sounded, and I woke up suddenly. I remembered where I was and who I was with.It's strange to say that the extremely excited mood just calmed down now, maybe because I come from the future, whether it is because I have seen things through, or I have a feeling of staying out of it, facing a group of people I know their fate I have a very detached feeling, a bit like watching a theater, but I am in it.But I still secretly remind myself, try not to affect history, and be careful in what you say and do.But no matter what, I was so calm that I was a little surprised. I took a breath, and went down straightly: "Greetings to the eighth master and the tenth master. The two masters are auspicious. The servant is..." Before I finished speaking...
"Sister?!" There was an exclamation, and I couldn't help standing up and looking around. A boy who was about my age was looking at me in surprise. Nod to him with a smile.
"It's your sister? Minghui." Brother Ten asked in surprise, then turned his head to look at me.
"It turned out to be Lord Yinglu's palm bead." Yinsi said with a light smile.
"Yes, it's the slave's eldest sister. I heard from my father that I'm coming in today, but I didn't expect to meet here." My younger brother said respectfully, looked up and saw Yinzhen and Yinxiang standing there, and hurried up to salute , but my sister didn't dare to pay more attention to it, but there were countless question marks in her eyes.I looked at him and could only smile wryly, what did I say, I don't understand how they all came here.I just feel that the dark tide is raging between them brothers, even though I am standing on the shore, I am also uncomfortably slapped by the wave, it is indescribably awkward, but I can't walk away.I just didn't know how to deal with myself, when I saw a little eunuch running over, and suddenly saw these masters, he was also frightened, and hurried up to greet everyone, saw me, wanted to talk, but stood aside again .
"What's the matter?" Fourth Master asked.
"Ah, back to the master, the slave came out to find this... um... this girl. It's time for all the ladies to gather for Chuxiu Palace."
"Oh, isn't it officially elected tomorrow?" Brother Eight asked.
"Yes, Master Nalan and several other masters are praying for blessings together today. I just want to take a look at the time this afternoon, so..."
"Well, I see, then you can take this girl there quickly." The fourth elder brother said.
The little eunuch ran over and said, "Girl, please." Only then did I react and salute them, knowing that Elder Thirteen had been looking at me, but I knew I couldn't look back.This group of people is fine here, and half a step wrong will cause disaster.I straightened my back and followed the little eunuch away. I don't know if I was nervous, but I felt a few eyes on my back, and my heart twisted, but I didn't want to be seen at all. Anbu walked over like a car.
Turning around the corridor, blocking those sightlines, just breathed a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard Elder Brother Ten say: "Humph, I'm a draft girl tomorrow, I have to go and watch the fun, fourth brother, eighth brother, thirteenth brother, come together?" That tone surprised me, and I only felt that it was full of unknown malice.I just let go of my heart and raised it again. I don't know if tomorrow will...
"Girl, this way."
"Ah." When I looked up, I saw the little eunuch looking at me inexplicably, and then I realized that I stopped unconsciously, and I couldn't hear anything when I turned my head.Sighing, I vaguely realized that some things had gone off my original track, but I was powerless to pull them back.I followed the little eunuch with heavy steps, the sun shone on me hotly, and I felt cold all over. This is the first time I have come here and dare not think about tomorrow's things...
I hurried back and saw that everyone had already lined up. As soon as I showed my face, I shot over.I couldn't control it too much, I looked up and saw Xiaochun was beckoning to me, so I hurried back to my place.I knew that Xiaochun was looking at me with all kinds of doubts, but I really couldn't say anything at this juncture, so I had to turn my head and pretend not to care.As soon as I raised my eyes, I met Nalan Rongyue's gaze, which was cold and deep. I couldn't help shivering, and quickly turned my head to look at it.I thought to myself, since I met her till now, I have never dared to look at her directly, but after these things happened today, I can't look at her eyes that seem to know something.I was angry, confused, and worried. All kinds of emotions were stuffed tightly in my chest like cotton soaked with water, making my breathing heavy.
"Sister?" I was gently pushed on the back. "Ah?" Seeing that Xiaochun was looking at me suspiciously, I realized that the team was already marching, so I smiled gratefully at Xiaochun, and hurriedly followed.I was in a daze along the way, like a cat scratching my heart, but I couldn't say anything, so I could only do psychological construction for myself, and I calmed down after a while.With peace of mind, my mind cleared up, and I looked around carefully, as if I was walking in the direction of Jingren Palace.Thinking back to what the little eunuch said just now, that master Nalan is obviously the elder brother's biological mother - Concubine Nalan.Although Mingzhu is no longer in power, I remember that this empress is still very favored. She is the first concubine who gave birth to a son. Now that the palace is in vain, it is obvious that she is vaguely the lord of the six palaces. This kind of draft thing It was supposed to be presided over by the queen.Then I thought that Nalan Rongyue's self-confidence was probably due to the support of this aunt.Thinking about her gaze just now, I really had to guard against it, I secretly alerted myself.He couldn't help looking up at Nalan Rongyue who was obliquely in front of him, and saw that she was walking elegantly and dignifiedly, with a hidden smile on her face and high eyebrows.Oh, so confident!I secretly sighed, in a few more years, once the eldest brother fell, wouldn't the wealth and glory of the Nalan family disappear in smoke?Can't help but shake his head.After thinking about it, how can I care about others now, thinking of what Elder Brother Shi said just now, it makes people uneasy.As I was thinking wildly, I came to an open space. The eunuch who guided everyone stopped and stood up in a row. I was next to Xiaochun, and seeing her face turned pale, I smiled at her comfortingly, and she also returned. A pitiful smile was given to me, and I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes, this girl's psychological quality is really...
After waiting for a while, no one came over. The six hundred beautiful women stood like wooden sculptures of clay, the sun was burning hot on their heads, everyone was sweating, but no one dared to move.Standing there, I couldn't help but think of the time when the university army trained in military posture, which was similar to now, but at that time there were instructors watching, and I didn't dare to move, but now no one is watching, I still can't move, others are fine, I can't be too out of line, I'm really helpless.I thought that if someone told me now that anyone who couldn’t hold on would be disqualified, I would immediately sit on the ground and let them carry me out, so I wouldn’t suffer from this crime.The only thing on my body that can move is my eyeballs, but I am too tired to look around all the time, so I just close my eyes and rest my mind.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a group of people meandering towards him.The first ones are a few noble ladies, surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, dressed in phoenix crowns and flags, stepping on the bottom of the flowerpot, walking towards this side with their heads held high.I couldn't help being refreshed, and looked carefully at these concubines of Emperor Kangxi. I had read "Biography of Empresses and Concubines of the Qing Dynasty", and I was very interested in some of the characters in it.The first one was a tall woman with apricot eyes, crescent eyebrows, oval face, slender nose, in her thirties, but the corners of her mouth were raised, revealing an indescribable arrogance.I knew in my heart that this must be Concubine Nalan, so I couldn't help taking a peek at Nalan Rongyue, seeing a hint of excitement and complacency on her face, I was even more sure that my guess was right.Looking carefully, there is another empress walking behind Nalan Guifei, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and phoenix eyes, with a serene, dignified and reserved look.The two of them led the way, and the rest of the palace people were separated by a distance.After a while, he walked up to us and stood still. I was guessing the identity of another concubine when I saw the leading eunuch rushing up to ask for his blessings: "My servant greets the imperial concubine and the concubine de concubine." Only then did I understand. It turned out that she was Yongzheng's own mother, the future queen mother, and she couldn't help but take a closer look.Suddenly Concubine De's eyes shot over, and I looked at each other, I was startled, I hurriedly lowered my head, after a while I felt the eyes disappear, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.I heard someone say again: "This is the show girl selected in this year's primary?" I hurriedly listened attentively. "Yes, speaking back to your lord, today there are 580 seven ladies in total, 570 in the Eight Banners, and [-] in the Han Army Banner."
"Hmm... Sister, look, this year's show girls are all beautiful." Concubine Nalan turned her head and smiled at Concubine De.
"Yes." De Fei nodded gently.The two empresses gracefully walked up to the beautiful girls in the front row, and looked at them one by one. When they reached Nalan Rongyue, the noble master paused, and then walked down without leaving a trace.I sneaked a peek and saw that Nalan Rongyue's face was already flushed, but she was trying to calm herself down and her hands were trembling a little.For some reason, I wanted to laugh a little. It seems that this Nalan girl is not a material for cheating. She became excited when she saw an acquaintance.While snickering, a figure flashed, I looked up, and saw Concubine Nalan standing in front of me, staring at me.I was taken aback, and someone next to me immediately reminded me: "Quickly greet your master."
"Ah, my maidservant pays respects to the imperial concubine and empress, the empress is auspicious." I greeted the imperial concubine firmly. "Well, whose family are you a child from?" Concubine Nalan looked me up and down, and at this time Concubine De also came up and stood aside and looked at me.I took a deep breath and replied calmly: "Back to your mother, the servant's father is Yinglu with a yellow flag." Although I lowered my head, I still felt Nalan's breath change: "It's Yalarta My dear, raise your head, let me take a look." There was something clearly in Concubine Nalan's tone, I couldn't tell, I could only raise my head respectfully, and exchanged a glance with her. "Well, it looks really good! What do you think, sister?" Concubine Nalan looked back and asked Concubine De with a smile. "Well, yes, Qinglang Wenxiu, I heard that Mrs. Yinglu's wife comes from a scholarly family. It seems that this girl is really well raised. How old are you?" Six." Ordinarily, it is a good thing to be praised by others, but there are still these people here, I really don't feel very happy, I didn't want to be famous, but I don't know why I asked me if there were any, but I still had to do it on my face smile.Just as I was thinking about it, the words of Concubine Nalan really made me unable to laugh: "That's right, otherwise how could someone snatch it..."
I lay on my back on the bed, looked at the high roof and Chengchen, felt my heart gradually calmed down, and began to think carefully about what happened in the afternoon...
"Elder sister was joking." Empress Defei smiled and glanced at me, but I was already in a daze and couldn't speak, I just felt my scalp was numb, my face was so hot that it seemed to be burning, and my mind was spinning all kinds of thoughts crazily .What does she mean by that, it's only been an hour since I left there, have some rumors spread to the harem?Who told it, what was said, and who else knows?Is this warning me or... I suddenly felt like fainting, but my heart was very clear. These thoughts just flashed through my mind for a moment, and I immediately raised my head to look at Concubine Nalan, But she had already walked forward calmly, and when she looked at Concubine De, she also followed her.I couldn't see anything from their faces, and I had no way of knowing what was wrong.I ordered myself to calm down, took two deep breaths, and felt much better, and then I got a sense of my surroundings...
hehe!It turns out that the feeling of being watched by everyone is like this. Countless eyes shot at me, some of which were very penetrating. I turned my head and looked at Xiaochun, and found that she was looking at me intently. A layer of mist makes it difficult to see what is contained in it.It's just that this is the first time she looked at me with this kind of eyes. I smiled at her, and when I turned around, I didn't want to see her expression, and sighed in my heart, is my only friend going to be lost too? "Ah!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help sighing again, after thinking for a while, I still felt a little confused.
"I really can't tell, her usual appearance..." A burst of whispers came in from the window, I used my toes to figure out that it was talking about me, turned around on the kang, not wanting to listen, I It's already annoying. "Hmph, don't dogs that can bite people bark?" A voice came clearly, and it was not a whisper. It seemed that Miss Nalan was deliberately trying to find trouble because she was afraid that I would not hear her.It looks like I really stole her limelight today, but I really don't want to.I couldn't help but roll my eyes, let her say whatever she likes, it's not her who is killing her now.I sat up, rubbed my temples, and suddenly missed those two girls.well!Now there is no one to serve, so I have to massage myself.
"Keng! Keng!" Someone knocked on the door, "Sister?" I was taken aback, but it was Xiaochun's voice. I thought she wouldn't come to talk to me for a while, but now she... guessed her reason for coming: "Xiaochun? Come in." I quickly stood up.After tidying up, Xiaochun had already come in, stood at the door, looked at me and didn't speak, I also looked at her, subconsciously trying to see something from her expression, it took a while before I realized, "Cough, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Come and sit down." I calmed down first. I am not a person who is good at exhausting all my energy and thinking.I smiled, sat down first, poured two cups of tea, handed a cup to Xiaochun, and slowly blown the tea foam by myself without opening my mouth.I know that this girl's usual patience is forced, and she is not a patient person, so I don't need to say, she will naturally ask.Peeking out of the corner of her eyes, her gaze didn't fall on me, she just lowered her head and rubbed the corner of the clothes vigorously.Suddenly she raised her head, and I quickly turned my gaze away, pretending to concentrate on drinking tea.
"Sister, what's going on today? They're talking about it badly." Xiaochun's face was flushed, her breathing was a little short, and she looked at me nervously.I glanced at her: "Do you believe what they said?" I didn't answer, but asked back. This was obviously beyond Xiaochun's expectation. She was taken aback, and I looked at her calmly. She lowered her head After thinking about it quietly, I resolutely raised my head and looked into my eyes: "I don't believe it, I only believe what you said."
"Oh, that's it..." I looked at her and thought to myself that maybe 100% of what I said was true, but that was enough, as far as our friendship is concerned.After all, that kind of confidant who you trust [-]% is not easy to come across.I smiled lightly: "Actually, I don't really understand it myself, maybe it's because of my father. After all, he also has some power, so as his daughter, it's not surprising that someone wants it." I vaguely gave an explanation.It's been said that people instinctively feel awe of what they don't know or can't do, so while my current father's power may not be able to pull that off at all, I'd say the same.It is expected that this kind of thing about fighting for power and profit is the most ambiguous thing. Xiaochun was born in an official family, so she understands this kind of thing. She may be able to accept this kind of answer. If you really tell her frankly, maybe your friend didn't do it, but instead made something out of it. an enemy is coming.
"That's how it is... Then your master Nalan said that... Is your family on good terms with Nalan's family?" Xiaochun was also a little confused. "There is no friendship. If it was really good, she wouldn't say that..." I made a face at her. "Ah." Xiaochun looked at me stupidly, completely unable to understand what I was talking about.I couldn't help shaking my head, this girl is so straight, how can she mess around in this kind of place, I smiled, and pointed out the window: "Do you think this is a good name?" He said in relief: "It's true. Fortunately, my sister has always been open-minded and doesn't mind." I couldn't help but smile wryly, what can I do if I am not open-minded, if the door of time and space opens right next to me, I will immediately jump out to give those eight people a smile. The mother-in-law slapped each other, and then disappeared.hehe!That must be cool, but now... oh!
Xiaochun saw me laughing and sighing, and didn't know what I was thinking, but he was used to my fugue.She stood up: "Sister?"
"Huh?" I came back to my senses. "Then I won't bother you anymore, I'll pass on the dinner later, how about I bring it to eat with you?" Xiaochun smiled and got the answer, obviously returning to her usual appearance. "Okay, then I'll wait for you." I said with a smile, and stood up to send her out.
"Huh", I let out a sigh of relief, at least I solved a problem, after all Xiaochun is young and innocent, I am not ten years older than her in vain.But when I think of the imperial concubine, those elder brothers, and those who know me but I don't know him, I can't help but have a headache again.Since coming here, I have never wanted to go home as strongly as tonight. This has become my first goal.All I have to do now is to survive in this weird palace and go home.I stretched my waist greatly, and with a goal, there is hope, and I feel a little better.
After having dinner with Xiaochun and chatting for a while, we each went to rest. After all, tomorrow is the top priority. I didn't care about it at first, but now everything is different. I have to deal with it with 12 points of energy.After washing up indiscriminately, I just lay down when there was a light knock on the door. I was surprised, it was so late, who was it?
"Who is it?" I asked, but no one answered.But I was sure I heard it right, so I asked again, but still no one responded.I was a little startled, and swallowed to calm myself down.It can't be Xiaochun, and someone should come to harm me, right?After all, I am famous today, if there is anything, it will be too conspicuous.After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out. I gritted my teeth, put on my clothes, got up and walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door suddenly... There was nothing outside, it was pitch black, and everything was quiet except for the sound of the wind. I couldn't help laughing secretly that I might be nervous, I lowered my head and wanted to close the door...
Huh?What is this, I bent down to see, a small piece of paper was lying quietly by the door. "Boom!" I just felt the blood go straight to my forehead, and I picked it up with lightning speed, closed the door, took off my shoes, and got on the kang, all in one go, with my head covered under the quilt and gasping for breath.
After a while, I felt that my heartbeat was normal. I stretched out my head and looked around in private. I only felt that my body was full of guilty conscience. It was very exciting, but it was not funny at all.I stabilized myself, and didn't dare to light the lamp. I could only walk to the window with bare feet and no sound. I was terrified by the moonlight. I felt cold on the soles of my feet, but my hands didn't shake at all. Open it up, there are only two words...
