two cold

A piece of glazed tile on the eaves of the palace was slightly loose, swaying dangerously in the sun, and when the wind blew, it would peel off from the row of gold and green and fall to the ground with a clang.Jinying stared blankly at the scars extending from the center like sharp blades, and the scattered broken tiles cut out countless reflections, sharp everywhere.

That's how I feel right now.

Jinying turned around without saying a word while holding the pastry in her hand, the anger in the bottom of her eyes forced back the tears, leaving only the red eyes.

The road from the palace to Yunyan Temple is not far away. Jinying knows that Min Zhenghao was transferred to be stationed here, and also knows that Jang Geum was exiled by Han Shanggong to serve the nanny Shanggong because of his arrogance.Although she was happy to win Jang Geum with sincerity, she was also worried about Jang Geum's situation. This trip to Yunyan Temple actually saw two people she cared about the most.

There was a lot of commotion in the palace for Jang Geum's departure. Ling Lu, Lian Sheng, and even A Chang, every court lady rushed to fill in the position of Shang Zan's wife left by Jang Geum, but no one would last for several months like Jang Geum Fill a hundred bowls of water, pick a hundred kinds of herbs, and even have the ability to draw flavors.Only she and Jang Geum can do it, so Jang Geum can't leave the imperial kitchen!

But now the basket of snacks to be brought to Min Zhenghao was placed on the boulder, his clenched fists were trembling with hatred, and his confidant's heart turned into hatred.Why is it Min Zhenghao, and why is it you who have a crush on the person I adore?

You were exiled to such a remote place by Han Shanggong, why can you smile so heartily at Min Zhenghao?In this way, I, who can only focus on cooking and give up everything, looks even more ridiculous.No, Jang Geum is a court lady, so he has to be like her!

The cold air of the night blew across her cheeks, and Jinying brought up the basket of dim sum again and walked back to the palace, but the words that were intended to comfort Jang Geum were lost in the mountain stream.

The cold wind tonight seemed to be particularly cold. Han Shanggong, who was about to return to his place after dinner, heard a call at the corner.

"My lady, please stay." In the dark night, Jinying's body was extremely low, hiding the resentment on her face.

"I heard that Empress is looking for a wife who can replace Jang Geum. If I can fill a hundred bowls of water, find a hundred kinds of herbs, and even draw flavors, will Empress know? Choose me as your wife?"

She felt Han Shanggong's gaze lingering on her for a long time, and it was rare for her to show a respectful gesture, even though her heart was full of anger.

After a long time, I heard a slight sigh. "Kimyoung, you are an outstanding child."

Hearing Han Shanggong's polite refusal, all the remaining warmth in Jinying's expression disappeared.

Why do all the people I care about care about you, Xu Changjin, why are you?

If Jinying could have been a few years older at that time, maybe she would have understood the inextricable relationship between loneliness, ideals and loneliness, and where did the unusual sense of restlessness come from?But now, it can only be like a wounded cub huddled in a corner and roaring, facing a huge tear in friendship, casting hostile glances at every pair of good-natured eyes, and waving sharp claws that can hurt people.

The smile that Jang Jin showed to her when he finally returned to the palace, and the smile that Han Shanggong re-appointed him as Shangzan's wife, was more like a sharp arrow stained with diabolism piercing into the most painful place in the apex of his heart.What Cui Jinying hates the most in her life is the sympathy of others, especially in front of people who have nothing with the attitude of a winner, she still smiles happily.

"Ms. Zheng Shanggong is leaving the palace due to the plague. I will take over the position of the most noble palace." Cui Shanggong recruited Jinying and said every word in the dark night. "If Mrs. Zheng Shanggong can't return to the palace, then I will naturally become the most noble palace."

Closing the Chinese medicine book in her hand, Jinying did not forget what Cui Shanggong said to her a few nights ago, if the empress of Zheng Shanggong cannot return to the palace due to the epidemic, the empress of Cui Shanggong can become the most noble palace without going through a competition... What a despicable idea!Han Shanggong had been demoted to the Taiping Pavilion at the order of Cui Shanggong, and Jang Geum also lost the chance to meet Lord Min. The tingling feeling in his heart seemed to subside for a while, but it was far from enough.It's like stabbing yourself with a needle, and then you need stronger self-torture to calm down the painful heart. Only when the originally active heart is so painful can you get real relief.

So what she has to do now is to separate Min Zhenghao and Jang Geum. Only when Empress Cui Sanggong is firmly seated in the most noble palace, Jang Geum will stay in the Taiping Pavilion outside the palace.

"Please hand over this medicine list to uncle, as long as you say that Zheng Shanggong's wife is recuperating in Xiong Jingu, he will know what to do." She presented the list to Cui Shanggong, and she was not surprised to see a look of praise.

Is there anything more deserving of ridicule than being appreciated for doing something that one despises the most?When she hid the spell for the first time, she already knew that if the white jade cracked a little, it could only become a rough stone, so she didn't care if there was another flaw.If you choose a wrong path, you can only go on and go to the end to prove that you are right.

Things were not as smooth as expected. Han Shanggong and Changjin were reinstated because they used diet therapy to relieve the Tang Dynasty envoy's thirst. The empress Zheng Shanggong also returned to the palace and proposed that the empress dowager's birthday banquet be the winner of the imperial meal competition.With this order, the two parties went out of the palace to look for ingredients.

Standing in front of the palace gate and looking at each other from a distance.The last time I went out of the palace with Jang Geum was to go back to my uncle's house to look for the golden rooster, but now it's a life-and-death gamble on the future. It's the first time that Jinying feels so far away from such a short distance.Jang Geum, who was following Han Shanggong, only took a brief look at her, but those pure eyes contrasted with the filthiness in her eyes.

Why can't Jang Geum always feel her hatred?She was so straightforward, why didn't Jang Geum look into her eyes again?

---------------------------------------

"Actually, I know that Jinying hates me." Chang Jin said leisurely while the boat was floating on the sea at night, looking at the sky full of stars.

"I don't know when it started, but Jinying's hatred became more and more obvious, and there was a distance between me and her. The sister I was full of admiration for, looked at me with only deep-seated pain. It's so cold, it makes me want to run away from her..." The stars shine on the water, forming two parallel galaxies with the sky. "But Imai still helped me during the imperial meal competition."

"Triane helped you?"

"My lord, do you still remember the mountain strawberry fruit that I presented to the emperor at the end? Actually, it was not in abundance at that time."

"How did Mrs. Xu get it?"

"Only in the orchard of the Cui family will there be."
