Chapter 7
Because I used to dislike the rough hands and carelessness of boys, so I have always been responsible for dealing with Cheng Yu's wounds.Hearing Shun'er call, he put away the album, picked up the medicine and followed.

Along the way, Shun'er always turned around to look at me, and only looked at me with trepidation.

When he arrived at Cheng Yu's room, he was painting at the desk, looking very addicted.

I blessed myself, and said angrily: "Master, this servant is here to give you medicine."

But he didn't seem to hear it, he just stared blankly at the desk, as if he had completely sunk into it.

I'm a little angry. I don't see him working so hard on weekdays. Could it be that he is deliberately embarrassing me now?
When I think about it this way, fire bursts out in my heart.But for some reason, what my aunt said just now suddenly sounded in my brain.

Just stop thinking about it.

Yes, he is the master and I am the servant.Even though she grew up in the same place, but in the end the identity is there.

I feel a little sad.

Sighing, he took the initiative to go over and apply medicine for him.

He approached step by step, but he still didn't notice it.Just looking at the picture on the desk.Holding a brush in hand, there seems to be tenderness in his eyes.

Curious in my heart, I looked sideways at the painting.

But abruptly stopped his footsteps.

What kind of woman is that!The eyebrows are like distant Dai, and the eyes are like autumn water.The mouth is small and delicate, and the bridge of the nose is straight and delicate.She has a graceful figure, and her gestures and gestures are all touching.

Even in the attire of a court lady, she couldn't hide her beauty.

The most rare thing is that those eyes are clear and clear, as if they are not stained with dust, just one glance makes one feel like a spring breeze.

I used to think that Shuangshuang was a rare thing, but compared with the woman in this painting, it is a matter of opinion.

For some reason, a little desolation suddenly appeared in my heart.

It's like being abandoned in the desert, looking around, it's hard to tell the direction.

"Sister Qing'er!" Shun'er said.

I was startled, and just came back to my senses.Looking up, I saw Cheng Yu looking at me.He has put down the pen in his hand, waiting for me to give him medicine.

I curled the corners of my lips, but felt extremely stiff.

In the cold war for so many days, this is the first time I smiled at him.He was a little strange, and looked at me with his eyes open.

Suddenly asked: "Why are you dressed like this today?"

I smiled and said, "It's from Aunt Zhao, do you think it looks good too?"

He curled his lips and said nothing.

"Master, this painting is very good, but who is the girl in this painting? Is there such a beautiful girl in the world?"

Shun'er continued: "That's what the Lord did for her..."

Cheng Yu glared at him, and then swallowed the words abruptly back.

I lightly dispensed good medicine for him, and went straight to Aunt Zhao's room when I left the room.

She and Uncle Zhao were eating, and they were a little surprised to see me coming.

I feel a little weak in my feet, and I seem to be unable to stand still.So he leaned lightly against the door frame and smiled.

"Auntie, I thought about what you said earlier, and I think it's very good. Why don't you explain it for me." It was as if something was suddenly lost in my heart, and the pain came overwhelming.

Coming out of my aunt's room, I just felt a little tired.

Thinking of going back to the house to lie down, but fell asleep at some point.When I woke up, it was already dusk.

Ruyi left a meal for me, and after hastily finished eating, I saw that the moonlight was just right today, so I moved a ladder and climbed up to the roof.

The stars in the sky are sparse and shimmering faintly.A gust of cool wind blows, making people feel that the heat has gone away.The cicadas are constantly humming all around, but for some reason, this sound doesn't make me irritated today.Instead, there is a kind of stability that has never been experienced before.

I thought that I could have nothing but hope to stay by Cheng Yu's side forever.But today, just one painting has made me lose confidence.That sense of desolation, emptiness and sadness.If I really see him get married with my own eyes, I don't know what will happen.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and suddenly I feel a little cold.Afraid of getting sick from the blowing, I wanted to go back to my room to sleep.

But as soon as I stood up, a shadow fell in front of me.

I was startled, but my mouth was quickly covered, and I could only make a thin and weak sound.

"Don't be afraid," Black Shadow said in a low voice.

"Miss Qing'er, it's me."

It sounds familiar.

Calm down, and take a closer look, a pair of black eyes are surprisingly bright under the moonlight.There is indeed some familiarity between the eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing that I was no longer struggling, he slowly let go of my hand.

I thought for a while, and tentatively called out: "Yang Shaoxia?"

He smiled lowly, and pulled off the black veil—it really was Yang Ziyu.

"Why are you here?" I frowned, looking at him dressed in night clothes, wondering in my heart.

He suddenly felt a little unnatural, and suddenly grabbed my waist. "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go down first."

Then his eyes blurred, and he was already in the courtyard when he waited for the stop.

Displeased with my heart, I pushed him and used my strength to get myself out of his arms.He looked at him from a distance of two feet.Although he helped me, but he appeared on the roof of the palace in the middle of the night, which really cannot but make people suspicious.

"You haven't answered yet."

The moonlight poured faintly on the courtyard, and he stood in the light with clear and beautiful eyes.

He was taken aback when he heard my words, and then smiled.A smile is as beautiful as moonlight.

"I'm here to find you." He replied firmly.

"Why are you looking for me?" I folded my arms around my chest and asked with raised eyebrows.

His face seemed to heat up.He just looked at me, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he walked up to me and looked down into my eyes.

"I liked you from the day I first met, so I inquired and came to you."

I didn't expect him to answer like this, so I was stunned for a while.It took me a while to remember what I should say.

"You and I have only met once. It can be said that you don't know me at all, so how can you like me?" I took a step back and looked up at him.

Yang Ziyu didn't seem to expect that I would say that, her brows were together, and she looked stumped.

After a while, he seemed to have thought of the answer, and happily stepped forward to me again.

"Although I don't know girls, I feel joy when I look at girls. I often hear people say that there is something called 'love at first sight' in this world, and I think that's how I treat girls."

His eyes were shining and he looked like he was going to swallow me whole.

I was a little scared immediately, it would not be a good thing to be seen by anyone who is alone and widowed.What's more, he also said such a thing.

Clearing his throat, "Yang Shaoxia, I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first. You can do what you want." After speaking, he turned around and left.

In a blink of an eye, he stopped in front of me again.

"Miss Qing'er, I'm serious!" He put his right hand on his chest, looking very serious.

I nodded, "I see. Let's talk about this another day, let's go back and rest first."

Before he finished speaking, he bypassed him and hurried back to his room.

Early the next morning, Aunt Zhao came to my room with the album in her arms.

I tried my best to look over with her one by one, and looked back one by one.In the end, there was no idea.

In the end, I was really tired, so I asked her to choose one for me.

My aunt's face immediately changed when she heard this.

Seeing that she was about to get angry, I was thinking about what to do when sister Jiang Ruo in the princess' room came to call me, saying that the princess had something to order.

I seized the opportunity and escaped immediately, leaving my aunt alone in the house.

After inquiring along the way, I learned that the princess is going to enter the palace today to pay her respects to the queen mother.But sister Ling Ruo, who was beside the princess, was ill and could not accompany her into the palace.The princess wanted me to take care of her on her behalf.

First went to the princess's room to answer, and then followed Sister Jiangruo to prepare all kinds of things and asked people to move them into the carriage.When the time came, he followed the princess into the palace.

I have never been to the palace, so I am very curious.But the princess was sitting beside me, so I didn't dare to lift the curtain to see it.She could only sit down in a well-behaved manner like sister Jiangruo.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.Someone came and lifted the curtain, and respectfully asked the princess to get out of the car.

I got off with Sister Jiangruo first, and reached out to help the princess get off the car.

After that, the sedan chair was changed, and we carried our things and followed the sedan chair. We behaved well along the way, not daring to look sideways.

When we arrived at the Minghui Hall of the Empress Dowager, Jiang Ruo and I were taken to a side room to rest.There are already more than a dozen people dressed as maids inside, and they must have come with other princesses and wives.

As soon as they saw Jiang Ruo coming, they automatically moved out of the middle position.

Jiang Ruo raised her head and led me to sit down, not polite at all.As soon as he sat down, the people next to him came to make friends with Jiang Ruotao.

I'm not good at handling these relationships, so I'm bored and don't speak.At the beginning, there were people who had nothing to say to me and looked for something to say. It can be seen from my appearance that they gradually lost interest and stopped paying attention to me.

After waiting for a long time, no one came to call me, and I began to feel bored.Counting up and down with his fingers, he suddenly heard Jiang Ruo's voice.

"Is it boring?"

I turned my head and saw her looking at me, the people next to me were talking, but no one paid attention to us.

I nodded, "It's a little bit. I'm used to doing things, but I'm not used to being so idle all of a sudden."

She nodded slightly to express her understanding.Suddenly he took my hand and whispered in my ear: "I know there is a road to the Imperial Garden near here, why don't we go and have a look."

I was a little embarrassed, "This is the palace, if someone finds out, then..."

Jiang Ruo smiled, "If someone finds out, we can be said to have lost our way. Besides, it is only a small corner leading to the imperial garden, and no one usually goes there. The princess and the others don't know how long they will talk, we just go and have a look come back."

Seeing that people around are desperately looking for opportunities to inquire about which wife and concubine are not compatible, which young master or young lady is married, I also feel very blocked.Hearing what she said didn't seem to be dangerous, so he nodded in response.

The two escaped out of the front room by urinating, and took a few steps around to the path.

The flowers were in full bloom, and the trees were lush, shutting out the daylight from the world, with only some soft colors pouring down through the gaps between the branches.

What Jiang Ruo said was right, she walked all the way, but she didn't see any guards or maids.

My heart slowly went from lifting to letting go, and I began to concentrate on admiring the surrounding scenery.Seeing me happy, Jiang Ruo felt a little proud of herself.He kept talking about some interesting things that happened when he entered the palace.

The two talked and laughed all the way, but after a while they came to the corner of the imperial garden she mentioned.All kinds of exotic flowers bloom one after another, surpassing the limitation of seasons.Fragrant.

I took a deep breath and held the fragrance of flowers in my heart.In a blink of an eye, I saw that Jiang Ruo's complexion was not good.

"What's wrong with my sister?" I walked up to her and asked with concern.

She smiled wryly, "Just now I lied to them that my stomach was uncomfortable, but I didn't expect the retribution to come so soon." She rubbed her stomach gently with both hands.

I thought it was funny, but I was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so I suppressed my smile.He just said: "Then sister, go quickly, I will wait for you here."

Jiang Ruo nodded, "I'll come back as soon as I go, you must not wander around."

"I know."

Seeing my promise, she felt relieved and hurried to find a place to relieve her hand.

I looked around and found a clump of half moon chrysanthemums.The half moon chrysanthemums should have withered long ago in this season, but the ones in the palace were still blooming.It's a pity that I can only look at it, if I pick it back to cook, Cheng Yu can eat a few more bites.

I was regretting, but I seemed to hear a faint singing.Puzzled in my heart, I searched along the voice, and the singing gradually became clear.

"What time is it tonight, the boat is in the middle of the boat. What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince..."

The singing seems to be sung according to the heart, without too many skills, but it is clean and bright, which makes people feel comfortable.

"Be ashamed and be loved, don't be ashamed. I'm so annoyed that I know the prince..."

I tried my best to keep my footsteps light, and followed the path to find the direction of the sound.I don't know why, but I feel a little excited.

"There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, and the king doesn't know..."

Bypassing a twilight cloud, there is a pink and white figure among the shadows of flowers.At first glance, you can see that long hair is like ebony, pouring down on your shoulders.

This hair is really beautiful!

With a sigh in my heart, envy suddenly rose.

"Ka"

Accidentally stepped on a dead wood and made a sound of breaking.The woman seemed frightened by the sound, her shoulders shook, she turned around suddenly, and looked in my direction in panic.

An unfamiliar yet familiar face came into view.

It turns out that there is really such a beautiful woman in this world, she looks like a lotus out of water, but otherwise she is slender.It is also like winter plum, and the green frost is moving.Those peerless women mentioned in ancient books are probably nothing more than this.

I was stunned for a moment, there was only such a woman in the center of my mind, only such a pair of clear and clean eyes.All the colorful surroundings lost their color in an instant and became a foil.The flower branches trembled slightly in the wind, and every expression of that woman's surprise or doubt was beautiful and picturesque.

"who are you?"

The woman walked up to me, her fair face was a little red from the sun.The thin sweat on his forehead made his eyes shine brighter.

"I..." The voice came out of his throat, but it was hoarse and bitter.

She frowned slightly, and took a step back defensively.

I cleared my throat hastily, "Don't be afraid, I am the maid who followed the princess into the palace. I accidentally got lost and came here."

Hearing this, she let out a long sigh of relief, burst into a bright smile, and looked at me with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, it's all because I was too suspicious. I thought you were Lin just now..." Suddenly she seemed to realize something, and stopped right there.

"It's okay." A slightly stiff smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, reassuring her.

"The sun is a bit bright, if you don't mind, go and sit there." She pointed to the pavilion where she was standing just now, and said to me.

I glanced behind her and shook my head.

"No need, I guess the princess should find someone now. If she doesn't go back, she should be punished."

She nodded and did not speak again.

I turned around and went back the way I came.Stepping on the stone road step by step, my feet hurt a little.

After walking a few steps, she ran into Jiang Ruo, perhaps seeing that it was getting late, she was a little flustered.Seeing me, he hurriedly dragged me back to Minghui Hall.

As soon as he returned to the side room, he was greeted by someone.

Jiang Ruo and I followed the man into the Hall of Minghui, saluted the Lord, and then walked to stand behind the princess.There are more than a dozen wives of princes and dukes, wives of powerful ministers, and even a noble concubine seems to be there.We are just ordinary maids, no one takes a second look at us, and saluting is just for the sake of complete etiquette.

Seeing us coming, the princess smiled and listened to the Queen Mother's speech, while turning her head slightly.

"Qing'er, follow this aunt to send the things you prepared earlier to the palaces." He pointed to the woman who led us in as he spoke.

I blessed myself, "Yes."

The princess nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Jiang Ruo again.

"A few days ago, I asked the national teacher for a painting, you go and ask, and if you get it, you will take it back."

Jiang Ruo repeatedly responded.

The three of them bowed and left.

After leaving the palace gate, I followed behind that aunt with a lot of things in my arms.She saw me working hard, but she didn't mean to help me at all.

I had no position to ask her to help, so I had to walk under the scorching sun in boredom.

I went to Fengyi Palace for the Empress, Chenghuan Palace for Concubine Rui, Guanju Palace for Concubine Xian, Qianhua Palace for Concubine Li, and Xiaoyue Palace for Concubine De.

In the first few places, the maids came out to accept the things and it was over, but when it came to Concubine De, they all said that Concubine De was not in the palace, so they dared not take it on their own.

I was a little angry, seeing that I would be able to hand in a job right away, but I ran into someone who refused to accept it.So all the good words were said, but they just didn't accept it.I thought it was too careful.

The aunt who led me was already impatient, and stood aside and kept looking at me with her eyes.In the end, seeing that I couldn't solve it, I had no choice but to come forward and speak for me.

She seemed to have some status in the palace, and those court ladies treated her very well.

"Could it be that Concubine De will not accept the gift from Princess Yi? Besides, the other concubines are not in the palace, so the palace staff will still accept it. Could it be that you, Xiaoyue Palace, are the ones who have the most face?"

Just listen to them flattering and authentic: "Zhu aunt, please don't say that! My aunt doesn't know something. Last time, the concubine sent something to her, and a sister took it on her own. After she found out, she was beaten half to death. We are I really dare not."

Hearing this, I immediately cried and looked at Aunt Zhu.

She raised her eyebrows, looking a little annoyed.

Naturally, those little maids also panicked, and hurriedly said: "Why don't you ask the second princess, if the princess agrees to accept it, then there will be no problem."

Aunt Zhu stared, "Why don't you ask quickly?!"

Immediately, someone trotted into Xiaoyue Palace.

After a while, he came out and replied: "The second princess heard that the things were sent by Prince Yi's mansion, so she asked someone to take a look inside."

I turned my head to look at Aunt Zhu, and seeing her nod her head in agreement, I turned around and followed the maid.

After entering the gate, he went around seven times and eight times, and finally came to a side hall.The maid stepped forward to report, and then waved to me.I hurried forward with my things.

Standing in front of the door, she rearranged her appearance slightly, and then raised her foot to step over the threshold.

Through a bead curtain, I saw a beautiful person among them, who was doing makeup in front of the mirror.

"What are you sons doing these past few days?" She asked while drawing her eyebrows.

I blessed myself, "Go back to the princess, the son of the world is reading and painting in the mansion."

She froze slightly, then turned her head.

"It's you?!" She was surprised.

I blessed myself again, "Back to the princess, she is a slave."

Lin Lang stood up, lifted the bead curtain and walked out.

Strings of glazed beads fell behind her and collided together, making a pleasant sound.I thought to myself that it would be great if I could have such a beaded curtain in the future, and I would feel happy just listening to the crisp sound.

"How long have you been serving Cheng Yu?" She passed me and sat down at the table, and immediately a maid stepped forward to pour tea for her.

I turned around, "Go back to the princess, it's been ten years."

Lin Lang rested her chin with her hand, and gently touched her lips with her index finger.

"Ten years? That's a long time. It's by my side. If I think about it, I would have already had something." She talked to herself for a while, and then when she looked at me, her eyes became less cold and defensive.

"Have you heard from your family's family that there is any girl you like?" She finally turned to the topic.

Immediately, the painting by Cheng Yu appeared in my mind, followed by the beautiful woman I met in the Imperial Garden today, and my heart felt sad for a moment.Thinking about how she hurt Cheng Yu, she complained a little.

"Qing'er is a servant, and is not qualified to intervene in the affairs of the master."

"You!" Her eyes widened instantly, as if she could spew out fire to put me out.But suddenly she put on a sneer again, stretched out her hand to hold the teacup and rubbed it in her hand.

"Things are unpredictable. This princess might one day become the mistress of Prince Yi's mansion. If you don't take advantage of the present to be filial, I'm afraid there will be no place for you in the mansion!"

"Slaves are just doing their duty." I replied calmly.

She continued to stare at me and seemed to lose interest after a while.

"A pedantic maid."

I heard her mutter something, but she didn't reply, and continued to stand with a straight face.

After a while, she finally waved me away. "You put your things down and go back."

I blessed myself and saluted, handed the things to the maid, and then walked all the way to the gate of the palace.

When I got to the door, I didn't see Aunt Zhu.I asked someone to ask, and only said that my aunt left beforehand, and asked me to go straight back to Minghui Hall after finishing my business.

Thanks to the elder sister who sent the message, then raised his head and looked around, trying to remember the direction when he came.
