you poked my tail

Jiuli can't remember her last name, nor what her parents look like; she doesn't know if she has brothers or sisters, and she doesn't know where she was born; she was trafficked by human traffickers when she was very young up.

She was sold several times in the past few years, and after changing hands several times, she was finally sold into the palace as a maid. The nun who taught her gave her a surname, Mo.

It's to remind her not to talk too much.

Later, he was given another name, Na.It is to tell her to learn to control herself.

Therefore, there is no Jiuli in this world, only Mo Na.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. This is not only about the beauties of the harem, but also about a little maid like her who is so humble in the dust.

Masters have intrigues between masters, and slaves have intrigues between slaves.

Ever since she entered the palace, Mo Na has been cautious in every step and every step. She was born timid and fearful, and because of her years of trafficking and abuse, her temperament was even more submissive. It's really not easy, as a slave, you have to learn to figure out the master's mind, not to mention trying to figure out the master's mind, even if the master said it clearly, Mo Na is a stupid person who doesn't understand.

Therefore, the master disliked her, and the maids and eunuchs who served together didn't like her. Occasionally, when she was bored, everyone would make fun of her.

It sounds nice to call it funny, but in fact it's bullying. All the dirty work is given to her. The monthly money was taken away, and the clothes, shoes and quilts on top of her hair were often taken by other people, and most of the things left to her were old and broken.

Mo Na didn't dare to tell her master what these people did to her, nor did she dare to tell the nanny in charge, so she could only bear it silently.

If she was bullied hard by them, she had resisted before, but the more she resisted, the harder she was bullied. In the end, Mo Ya herself became numb.

Fortunately, the serving master showed kindness, saw her a little pitiful, and knew that she was really clumsy, so he sent her to the flower garden to become a flower slave.

Responsible for taking care of the flowers throughout the year, loosening the soil, fertilizing, watering, cutting... Mo Na likes this position. Although he is only a small flower slave, he is clean.

Mo Ya can find joy in doing these seemingly simple but tedious things every day.

Watching a small seed enter the soil, gradually take root and sprout, a small life gradually grows through the rain, dew and sunshine, and finally blooms into beautiful flowers.

At this time, Mo Na is the happiest time, and feels that the time and patience he has put in for a long time have not been in vain.

There are many kinds of flowers in the palace, many of which she has never seen before, but when all the flowers bloom, her favorite is Jiulixiang.

In her memory, there are many mulberry flowers planted in the alley in front of her house, and when they bloom, she can smell the fragrance in the yard.

This is the only memory she has of home.

Mo Na has a wish, which is to live in peace and security in the palace until the age of 25, and then go out of the palace and be a free person.

With this plan in mind, she started to save money, and she saved all the monthly money paid out every month, except for the necessary ones.

In the dead of night, Mo Na would lie on the bed and think, God is good to her.

With a place to live, a bed, quilts and pillows, and some money to save, she counts her days every day, looking forward to the days when she will leave the palace.

However, she is afraid of troubles, and she always encounters troubles. A Yin, the maid next to Concubine Jing, lost a piece of jewelry. It was a high-quality jadeite bracelet that Concubine Jing gave her a few days ago.

The other maids who were serving were envious, and looked and looked over and over again, and Mo Na also took a few glances from a distance. She was not very interested in these jewelry, but today this jade bracelet is really beautiful. .

Violet emerald, light purple, shining brightly, if paired with a lavender dress, it would really look great.

"Hey, look at you who have never seen the world, do you want to touch it?" Ah Yin saw Mo Ya standing far away in the crowd, and asked with a mocking smile.

Mo Na's face became hot when she told her, and he took two steps back, intending to turn around and leave.

"Do you dare to go?" Ah Yin called her to stop, stepped forward quickly, gritted her teeth and said with staring eyes, "I'm giving you a face! I took the initiative to talk to you and you didn't talk back, do you really feel that you are amazing?"

Her tone was really insolent, but Mo Ya didn't dare to fight back, she only responded timidly, "I, I'm going to get busy."

"Where are you going to do your work? Just now I saw with my own eyes that you came to this yard after you finished your work." Aqian, who had always played well with Ah Yin, opened her mouth, her tone was also contemptuous and arrogant.

Mo Na's face changed, showing timidity on his face, thinking to himself, I'm afraid he will be bullied again today.

The maid named Aqian didn't know where her temper came from. After saying that, she stretched out her hand and pinched Mo Na's arm, and Mo Na took several steps back in pain.

"Hide! Hide again!" Ah Qian shouted.

Mo Na stood still, not daring to say anything, and not daring to hide anymore, she lowered her head and bit her lips tightly, her eyes were red, she looked pitiful.

Seeing this, Aqian seemed even more angry, raised her hand and slapped Mo Ya, and cursed, "I'm so annoyed at you for being so pitiful all day! What kind of delicate status is this!" He said in a vicious voice, "Who are you showing this pitiful appearance to!"

Hearing this, Mo Na was even more wronged, but he didn't dare to speak out, his lips trembled slightly, he sniffed, and said in a low voice, "It's Ah Na's fault, I offended my sisters, and I hope my sisters... "

"Don't talk about one sister, you are the oldest in this courtyard! You are too embarrassed!" That Aqian's mouth was really unforgiving, and she kicked Mo Ya twice as she spoke, "Look at how frustrated you are! The poor master sent you to be a flower slave, if you don't look at your mournful face every day, you will be chased away by any luck!"

Mo Na shrank, not daring to cry or make a sound, but bit her lips tightly, scolding herself for why she came to join in the excitement that she shouldn't have.

Perhaps she was rewarded by her master, but A Yin, who was always arrogant and vicious, said a few words of persuasion at this moment, which made A Qian stop finding fault.

Two days later, Ayin's violet jade bracelet disappeared, and she searched all the maids in the courtyard, but couldn't find it.

Aqian opened her mouth, pointed to the side room and said, "The one surnamed Mo hasn't been searched yet."

As soon as Ah Yin heard this, she hurried to the side room, opened the door and searched for things.

Mo Na had just returned from watering the flowers, and when she entered the room, she saw a group of people looking through her things, and the room was in a mess.

I was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, with some anger, "What are you doing?"

"What are you talking about?" Aqian stared at her, "Ayin's jade bracelet is lost, it is the precious bracelet that the master rewarded two days ago."

After hearing this, Mo Na understood, and said aggrievedly, "I lost the bracelet, what are you doing in my house? I didn't take the bracelet."

"Listen, listen, Ah Yin." Aqian added fuel to the fire, "Hearing this makes people think that she must have taken the bracelet."

"I didn't!" Mo Na tried to argue, "You also know that apart from my own house, I never go to your house, and I rarely even go to the yard. I just work in the garden every day. Besides, No matter how good the bracelet is, I definitely won't take it."

"Who knows if you took it while everyone was away?" Ah Yin opened her mouth, "You have already agreed on my jade bracelet. You were the only one who didn't touch it among the sisters in the courtyard that day. You stood in the distance , the eyes are full of liking for the bracelet." Then he took out the piggy bank that was turned out, "There is so much money in it, could it be that you stole my bracelet and secretly sold it to the palace?" Otherwise, where did you get the money?"

"This is what I have saved for the past two years." Mo Na said as he stepped forward to take back the money jar, but was tripped by Aqian and almost fell into the mud.

Mo Ya was wronged and scared, and even more sad, being accused of being a rogue and a thief, this trumped-up charge made her feel at a loss and flustered.

She couldn't compete with them, so the matter went to her master, Concubine Jing.Concubine Jing's temperament has always been inaccurate, today she may have a kind heart, she treats everyone with a loving look, but tomorrow she doesn't know what kind of temper she will use, beating and scolding slaves is light, and serious enough to kill her without blinking her eyes Without a wink.

After hearing Mo Ya and the others' argument, Concubine Jing leaned on the soft couch with a calm expression, eating melon seeds, wondering what she was thinking.

After a long while, I finally said indifferently, "You have saved so much money in two years, it's a bit strange."

"Master." Mo Na knelt down, "Slaves are indeed saved one by one. In addition to the monthly money, some of them are rewards from the master during festivals. Another time, the queen admired flowers. I think the flowers are served by slaves. , then rewarded the money, and the slaves kept it.”

When the words fell, Concubine Jing changed her face, dropped the melon seeds in her hand, and snorted softly, "So it was rewarded by the queen, I was just wondering, you, a little flower slave, have saved 200 yuan in two years." Two, this is not a small sum." After finishing speaking, he snorted again.

Mo Na's eyebrows were furrowed, and it suddenly dawned on her that Concubine Jing had always been at odds with the empress, and now that she was mentioned as empress, she was courting death.

She bit her lower lip, kowtowed to beg for mercy, and said timidly, "Master, this servant really didn't take that bracelet."

"Do you not know whether to take it or not?" Ah Yin opened her mouth, then knelt down and said, "Master, you want to make decisions for your servants, this is Mo Na, she has always been a loner, it is not easy to talk to sisters. Not clean either."

Mo Na was a little dazed, and was about to open her mouth to argue, but was startled by Concubine Jing's cough.

Concubine Jing took a sip of tea, with a hint of displeasure on her face, "There is no evidence for this, but one person in the courtyard said you had a problem, maybe you were wronged, but what about two or three people? You really have a problem."

These words were clearly addressed to Mo Na, she kowtowed and cried, "Master, there is no servant, the servant was wronged, and the servant was really wronged."

"I didn't mention the Dao's surname. What are you guilty of?" Concubine Jing glanced at her coldly. She had just finished fighting with the queen this morning, and she was so angry that she had nowhere to vent it. She put down the teacup , "If you take it, hand it over. I can save you from death. If not, you will be the one who suffers." He also said, "You also know that this palace has always disliked people with dirty hands, especially those with dirty hands. It was supposed to belong to me, but someone stole it and took it as his own, damn it!" After saying that, he gritted his teeth a little bit, and his eyes turned violent.

Mo Na quail seemed to shrink her neck, and she didn't dare to make a sound.

Concubine Jing snorted coldly, "Relying on the queen to support you, I really can't cure you if I'm the palace!"

Mo Na's frightened body trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to say another word.

Concubine Jing didn't talk to her any more, and asked someone to slap her mouth twenty, deducted the 200 taels, and asked Mo Na to return the bracelet.If you can't take it out, you will pay Ah Yin according to the price of the bracelet.

Mo Na pleaded guilty to this crime, but it was just a trick of torture, moreover, she didn't dare to hit a stone with an egg, because she still wanted to get out of the palace alive.

The price of the bracelet was 600 taels, and 200 taels were paid back, so there were still 400 taels left, so Mo Ya desperately saved money every day and night, hoping to pay off the owed money as soon as possible.

Autumn goes to spring, early winter, the weather is chilly.

Mo Na counted the money in the piggy bank. She saved 20 taels this month. She will be 23 after the new year, and she will leave the palace in two years. Save some money for going out of the palace.

After thinking about it like this, he sighed softly, and suddenly thought of the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace during the Chinese New Year. If you are lucky, you can get some rewards, and the palace will also give annual rewards to every servant who serves.

Turning his mind to this, Mo Na looked forward to the New Year, and even thought that at that time, he would follow the example of others, go out of his way, say some flattering words to make the master happy, and get some rewards.

Thinking of this, he smiled a little and collected the money.

I met King Jing Chuheng at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, because the bonsai placed on the banquet were in full bloom, the emperor and all the concubines in the palace were very happy to see them, so they admired the flower slaves who served them, naturally Mo Na was included of.

But after receiving the rewards, she was blocked by Ah Yin and the others in an empty corner, she tightly guarded the rewards, and stared at them blankly.

"Hey, Na, you got a lot of rewards today, even the emperor rewarded you. This is a great honor. Hurry up and show it to the sisters. After all, the sisters have never seen anything in the world." Ah When Qian opened her mouth, she mocked.

Mo Na's face froze, and he shrank his neck and said submissively, "It's nothing more than gold, no, nothing to see."

Ah Yin smiled softly, folded her arms, "You still owe me money, logically speaking, the gold should be half of mine."

Mo Ya pursed his lips, and replied in a low voice, "Of course I know I owe you money, 600 taels, and now I still owe 300 taels." Then he replied softly, "It's silver."

When the words fell to the ground, they were slapped, and then the two of them pulled Mo Na's hair, kicked and kicked, and cursed, "I really think I'm a big deal! I'll give it to you today!" Take a look at it, and let you know how powerful it is!"

This side was fighting arrogantly, and a few guards came up there and pulled them away, and then pressed Ayin, Aqian and the others to the ground.

Chu Heng walked over with a cold face, "Which evil slave in the palace is this? If you are so unruly, give me a slap in the face!"

The guard got the order, pulled the frightened pale-faced two aside, and clapped their hands together.

Chu Heng heard that there was bullying among the slaves in the palace, and seeing him today shocked him quite a bit.

They are all slaves who serve others, and no one is more noble than the other, but some slaves can't recognize them clearly, so we should learn a lesson!New Year's Eve dinner, family reunion, when encountering such bullying, he naturally has to take care of it.

Mo Na was startled at first, then knelt down and kowtowed, "I have seen His Highness King Jing."

Chu Heng looked at her indifferently, motioned her to get up, and said, "Are you okay?"

Mo Na stood up, straightened her messy hair and clothes, sniffed, raised her head slightly to look at him, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I'm fine."

Seeing her in such a mess, Chu Heng frowned slightly, and ordered someone to take her down to tidy her appearance and change into clean clothes.

When Mo Na heard this, her eyes widened in flattery, and she wanted to kowtow to thank her, but Chu Heng stretched out her hand to stop her.

"You don't need to kneel all the time." Chu Heng said lightly.

"My servant thanked Your Highness." Mo Na cried, her body trembling, she was afraid, grateful, and helpless, in short, at this moment, her heart was full of mixed feelings.

Chu Heng comforted her a few words, then smiled slightly, "Today's New Year's Eve, be happy."

To get such words, to the humble Mo Na, it was like receiving a great favor, and it was a pleasant surprise.

With a slight smile, Chu Heng spoke very gently, "Why are you standing there stupidly, get down quickly."

Mo Na felt it was more like a dream, staring blankly at the overly handsome King Jing in front of him, his heart beat faster.

Since then, she has had a secret.

That is, thinking about His Highness Prince Jing every day, and occasionally being able to catch a glimpse of him from a distance is also a satisfaction.

The most important thing is that Mo Na has the support to stay in this palace.

She also knew that for such a lowly slave like herself, not to mention marrying the prince, even going to serve in the prince's palace would be unthinkable.

Mo Ya didn't expect to have anything to do with Prince Jing, he only hoped that such a good Prince Jing would prosper, be safe and happy forever.

Everyone said that in the future this throne would belong to Prince Jing, who was not only deeply loved by the former emperor, but also powerful, but such King Jing did not sit on that high position in the end, and was granted a fief by the new emperor and left the palace.

That day, Mo Na sneaked up to the top of the city wall, watching His Highness Prince Jing's chariots and horses all the way out of the palace, and did not look away until he could no longer see them.

She was depressed, so she sat there and cried sadly. After crying for a while, her heart was not so depressed.

Mo Na counted the days, and she will be able to leave the palace in just over a month.

Thinking of this, he felt happy again, and at the same time secretly decided that after leaving the palace, he would go to the fief of His Highness Prince Jing.

The days went by unhurriedly, when His Royal Highness Prince Jing left, the arrogance of those court ladies who used to bully her became arrogant again.

Mo Ya can hide if she can, and accept if she can't. In these last days, she doesn't want to have conflicts with anyone.

On this day, it snowed all night, and the snow covered the palace completely white. Mo Ya took a broom to sweep the snow in the yard, when suddenly someone touched her butt, which startled her.

Turning her head, it turned out to be the guard who had secretly befriended Ah Yin, Mo Na knew about the two of them, and had bumped into them several times at night, but she never had any intention of harming others, so she kept this matter to the bottom of her heart and never mentioned it to anyone Pass.

The guard smiled obscenely, "Ah, I'm sweeping the snow."

Mo Na grimaced and continued to sweep the snow.

"It's so cold outside, don't sweep it, it's not your job, come, come with me to keep warm."

The guard said to pull Mo Na's hand, but Mo Na dodged it and moved out of the palace rules, "there are rules in the palace that guards and maids should not be too intimate, and I hope you don't break the rules and cause trouble."

One sentence made the guard restrain himself a lot, and seeing Mo Na's resisted expression, he snorted wisely and left.

But two days later, I don't know who passed it on, saying that the guard was fond of Mo Na, which really annoyed Ah Yin, how could my own man be taken away by others, and look at Mo Na's delicate appearance , immediately became even more annoyed, and wanted to kill her.

Leaving aside this incident, I still remember clearly the matter of her being slapped by Prince Jing before, even though it has been so long, I still want to get her back with interest.

Ah Yin dragged that Ah Qian to discuss how to deal with her, but Mo Ya still didn't know that this time, she lost her life.

And there were only three days left before she left the palace.
