The maid is the queen

Chapter 35 An Embarrassing Identity
I searched around, and finally found a rag and a bucket. If there is no maid, I have to bring everything myself.

Behind the bamboo grove, there is a clear spring flowing from nowhere. I brought the water back and wiped it carefully.

I thought, if he could be wiped off with a rag and washed clean like this dust, that would be great, so I could erase that loathsome emperor from my memory.

He ruined my life, ruined my happiness.

Wiping vigorously, vigorously and vigorously, it made my hands hot and painful, and I was tearful again.

Zhiqiu, don't cry, don't let Xia Juntang know that it hurts even more.

Inhale hard, raise your eyes to look at the tile-blue sky between the thick green leaves, only if you keep your head down and look at it hard, you will not cry, Yun Zhiqiu, you have always been very strong.

Deliberately make myself very tired, so tired that my heart has no chance to stop and hurt.

It only took one afternoon to clean up the small courtyard inside and out.

The bamboo branches are tied into a broom, and the bamboo leaves outside are also swept up.

When the night wind came, it was dark here, and I could only hear the sound of bamboo, creaking, I thought of that bamboo forest, those scratched names, at that time I was looking at his and her past, now, My past is quietly silent.

Fingers written on the bamboo, Yun Zhiqiu and Xia Juntang, Yun Zhiqiu and Xia Juntang, forgive me, under the cover of the night, I dare to think about you unscrupulously, it hurts my bones.

When I enter the palace, I also want to avoid the lottery from Baihuasha.

When he grabbed my hand and called my name, I was thinking, did Hundred Flowers Kill happen when we were so persistent, and the final result was that I left and he had nothing, I don’t want it With that kind of result, I would rather die alone in the palace alone.

The signature says Hundred Flowers Kill, but I Yun Zhiqiu doesn't believe in fate, I want to change, I refuse to take that road, I don't want Xia Juntang to make Yi Taifei heartbroken even more in the end.

Isn't it just me?Gritting your teeth, what can't you pass?
I'm thinking of you, are you thinking of me?How bright the stars are and how cool the wind is. On such a night, if there is a heart of longing, how can a tall wall separate us?It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter if you are far apart, as long as you have the heart and faith to stick to it, then it is good.

I reached out and picked two tender green bamboo leaves, put them in my mouth, and blew softly something called lovesickness. The clear and indifferent tune hovered in the dark night.

Day after day, I stayed here, and after a long time, I got used to it.

At noon, you can get a meal at the gate of the Leng Palace, which is the same as what people in the Leng Palace eat. I am not picky about food, and everything I eat in the palace is indifferent.

But the maids who delivered the food never let go of the opportunity to laugh at me. Maybe this palace is too quiet, and they need to find something to talk and laugh about to make life more beautiful.

I just became the object of ridicule, who told me I was nothing.

"Yun Zhiqiu, I think you might as well live in Lenggong, we have to stop at this gate every day, what a bother!"

I bowed my head to pick up the food, but she let go before handing it to me, and the leftovers fell all over the floor.

Pretending to say loudly: "Oh my God, why didn't you catch it? It's not that we said a word or two to you and threw the rice away. Yun Zhiqiu, it's fine if you don't eat it. Don't waste it. The food prepared in the palace today Not many."

I withdrew my hand and glanced at them lightly. These people are getting more and more excessive, and I will never say anything about them?I will not admit that I am that person's woman, not because I am forgotten in a corner and feel ashamed to say these words, but because I don't want to have anything to do with him at all.

I turned around and walked back, and the palace lady smiled and called from behind: "Yun Zhiqiu, you are so arrogant, please beg us, we will give you another share, ouch, you are really so noble, think yourself Who is it, a woman like you, we have seen a lot in the palace, don't expect the emperor to think of you one day, the emperor will never come to this part of the cold palace, just give up. Don't say yes You are an ordinary and beautiful woman who used to live here, and you fell out of favor and hanged yourself with a rope. Hey, if you want to hang yourself, use a bamboo branch, it's durable."

After the two maids finished speaking, they laughed loudly behind me.

I sat on a swing made of empty bamboo branches and looked at the speechless sky.

She laughs at her, although I don't take it seriously, but in my heart, I feel extremely sad.

Sitting on it, watching the fallen leaves blowing to the ground bit by bit, I thought, isn't time fast?In a blink of an eye, it turns white. Now I blink thousands of times, but I'm still in the same place.

A pair of boots appeared in front of me, I raised my head, looked up slowly, and saw his distressed eyes.

I secretly pinched my own palm and told myself not to cry.

With a smile: "Xia Juntang, why are you here again? You are going to the northwest, are you ready?"

"Zhiqiu." He called in a low voice, approached me, and embraced me in his arms desperately: "Don't laugh like this, Zhiqiu, it will be very hard."

Yes, it is really hard to smile at him and pretend that it is easy.

I buried him in his arms and deeply smelled the clean and refreshing smell of his body. It turns out that I miss you so much.

He raised my face, put his big hands together on my face, and stroked it gently.

He has lost a lot of weight, his face is a bit haggard, and his expression is not very good. I can't help but say softly: "Why don't you take good care of yourself."

"You are not yet." He smiled lowly and pinched my face: "I have lost a lot of weight, Zhiqiu, I have made you suffer. Let's go to find my concubine mother and ask her to help me. I don't want you to stay in the palace anymore For a moment, I miss you, Zhiqiu."

With his words, I don’t regret making me grow old in lovesickness here.I chuckled: "Hehe, don't think so. In fact, it's okay to live here. It's very quiet. It allows me to calm down and listen to various sounds. Do you know what is called the sound of nature? That is The most beautiful and most beautiful sound comes out between heaven and earth, which cannot be conveyed by any musical instrument."

"Zhiqiu, aren't you afraid of the dark at night? Even the maids bully you."

"Don't be afraid, people always have to learn to grow up by themselves. They don't count as bullying me. It's because they haven't reached my level in their hearts, haha. They are not me. Why do I really have to be as pitiful as they say What about it? When I was young, my mother was not in good health, and I knew what it means to be warm and cold when I was very young, Jun Tang, these are nothing."

"Why can you still laugh, Yun Zhiqiu, it's me who made you suffer."

I pulled his hand down and called coquettishly: "You pinched my face so painfully, I don't have much flesh."

He hugged me down and held my hand tightly: "Zhiqiu, let's go to my concubine mother, and concubine mother will find a way for us. I finally regret it now. Why was I always so indifferent before? I don’t want to, and now I want to protect the person, but I can’t do anything.”

"Don't." I looked at him with a smile: "I like your indifference."

There is also a smile in his eyes, so soft that it can knead my bones into a ball, I saw that I was the only one in his eyes, which reflected deeply.

Laughing, pretending to be brisk, he said: "Let's go, go and eat big fish and meat. As a person, my six senses are not pure, and I am destined to be unable to escape the Tao."

He sighed a long time: "Zhiqiu, how can you look at it so easily, should I be angry with you for not caring, or should I envy you for being open-minded?"

I stuck out my tongue: "How long can we see each other, are you going to be angry?"

"That's true." He smiled, and didn't say anything, and he didn't have a gloomy face anymore.

I heard the fixed hourglass, and time was overturned again, rustling and flowing quickly, walking side by side through the garden, the lake, the willow forest and the lotus pond, he pointed to it and said: "One look Seeing you, although I don't know why you are in the palace, but I want to protect you, this may be the beginning of fate."

Walking to Concubine Yi's palace, he saw many father-in-laws standing outside, and his face darkened when he saw the chariots parked outside the palace.

When I went in, I saw several court ladies standing in the corridor of the palace.

He grabbed my hand, so tight it hurt me.

I looked up at him, but he walked forward quickly with an angry expression on his face.

Before I got to the door, the two maids came out with the arms of a woman in a light blue dress. The slight cough made my face turn pale in an instant.

I wanted to struggle to free Xia Juntang's hand, but he restrained me so tightly that I could not escape.

That is the most beloved Concubine Mu in the palace, and the one I hate.

She was also stunned, she didn't expect to come here together after seeing us.

Xia Juntang's lingering eyes couldn't hide some anger, and he said coldly: "Concubine Mu Gui is really caring, to come to this remote place to see my concubine mother. "He greeted her word by word, with his anger in every line.

Concubine Mu Gui's eyes, which were as full as the autumn moon, fell on the hands we held together, and the black eyes were hurt again, filling up bit by bit.

"Juntang..."

He said coldly: "Please call me Jing San Wangye."

"Why are you still with her, Jun Tang, you really..."

"I respect the Third Prince, when will it be Concubine Mu's turn to worry so much, Concubine Mu should not always visit my concubine mother, this is not good, Concubine Mu wants to look more at the Empress Dowager."

When I saw Concubine Mu, I hated it. It was this woman's jealousy that ruined my future with Xia Juntang.

Xia Juntang looked down at my pale face gently, and touched my face with his big hand: "It's very windy here, Zhiqiu, let's go in and see my concubine mother."

"Juntang, I have something to tell you." The delicate words carried Concubine Mu's heartache.

She also looked at me gesturingly, but Xia Juntang hugged my waist and said, "Just tell me if you have anything, it's very windy here, I don't want Zhiqiu to get a cold."

He didn't mean to provoke him. He wanted me to stand here because he didn't want me to think something?
Xia Juntang's thoughts were laid out in front of me like words in black and white. I could easily see through them. I don't know what it is?Anyway, he can see through me, and I can see through him.
