Zhonggong Order GL

The aunt stood aside and couldn't help but sigh secretly.After all, the little queen is too tender, and she was so easily set out by the queen mother!Except for the queen, no one knew that this kit belonged to Sang Zhi!However, frightened by the Empress Dowager's Tianwei, and asking questions so imperceptibly and casually, how could the Empress know that she had been tricked!

"In this case, the queen should take it." The queen mother gestured to Lagu Su Ma to give the kit to the queen. Seeing the queen took it, the queen mother seemed to be talking to herself, "The people in Qintian Palace said that the kit is in the bag. It is installed as a requiem talisman, which is used to reassure people's souls. It sounds ominous, but it can be seen that the slave has no good intentions."

"Requiem talisman?" The queen froze, trying to steady her mind and said, "Yes...it's because my concubine couldn't sleep these days and often had nightmares, so she asked for a requiem talisman. I'm just afraid that your mother will blame you, so I have to pretend Amulet. Please forgive my mother!"

"Bang——" the Queen Mother suddenly slammed down the teacup heavily, frightening the Queen to kowtow deeply, panicking.However, the Queen Mother just said, "Get flat."

The queen kowtowed tremblingly, "The concubine thanked the queen mother." She carefully accompanied the queen mother. Seeing the queen's haggard look, Aunt Su Ma couldn't bear it, so she poured tea for the queen, "Your Majesty, please drink tea."

"Thank you, Aunt Su Ma." The queen also respected La Aunt Su Ma.

The queen mother asked indifferently, "These days, the queen has become more and more lethargic. Why?"

The queen hurriedly said, "It's just that I haven't slept well these few days."

They were exchanging pleasantries, and suddenly a eunuch came from outside the palace to report, "Concubine Ke in the palace sent someone to send a letter to the empress urgently."

The queen raised her head and glanced at the queen mother, but the queen mother just couldn't see it, and only asked Lagu Su Ma to warm her tea quietly.The empress knew that nothing could escape the empress dowager's eyes and ears, so she said, "Present it." She put down the teacup and opened the letter herself, and there were two lines of words on it - Concubine Jing of Yongshou Palace is suspected of disrupting the harem, please empress empress Return to the palace for a ruling.

The queen suddenly opened her eyes wide, her mind trembling. Rebelling the harem, the crime should be punished!

Aunt Su Ma, who was at the side, saw the Queen's complexion changed, and gave the Queen Mother a wink. The Queen Mother glanced at the Queen, and said slowly, "What happened?"

"Queen!" The queen turned pale, and immediately knelt down on the ground, but she dared not fail to present the letter.

Aunt Su Ma took it and looked at it, and her expression changed immediately.The queen mother didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when she saw that even Aunt Su Ma's expression was shocked, her eyes sharpened, and her usually leisurely eyes were full of light at this moment.La Aunt Su Ma presented the letter to the Queen Mother with trembling hands. The Queen Mother only glanced at it, and immediately said with a clouded face, "Go back to the palace!"

The author has something to say: Wow!Thank you girls who wrote long comments, very happy~~~

☆, 004

For several days, there was no abnormality in the palace, but Concubine Jing knew that this was just the tranquility before the rain.But fortunately for her, Jinxiu did not come back.Concubine Jing couldn't tell whether she was relieved, or couldn't help feeling sad.The banknote she gave to Jinxiu was packed together with a piece of letterhead, and Jinxiu could see the abnormality when she woke up.Before dawn, the people from the West Changfang took Jinxiu out, but when he came back at dawn, Jinxiu hadn't returned.The people from the West Changfang came here to tell the story for the 100 taels of silver, saying that they had sent the maid to Baiyun Temple.The visitor still had doubts on his face, after all, when Jinxiu was woken up and sent down, Jinxiu didn't understand what was going on in a daze.

Three days have passed, and Jinxiu has not returned.Concubine Jing was full of complexities, and that was all she could do, "Jinxiu...you are well..." After finishing speaking, Concubine Jing lowered her eyes, and after all, she just sighed softly.

It took only two days to send the letter quickly.Concubine Jing knew that this matter would never be resolved, so she just waited and watched.Sure enough, another four or five days later, the Empress Dowager and Empress all returned to the palace.However, Concubine Jing has nothing to worry about, so naturally she has no fear or worry.

The queen mother was furious, and immediately summoned Concubine Ke to report the matter when she came back. Concubine Ke didn't expect to invite the queen mother, so she was extremely nervous for a while.The queen was sitting next to the queen mother, and Concubine Ke didn't dare to hide anything, so she hurriedly summoned witnesses.

The little maids of Jingren Palace and the gatekeeper eunuchs of Yongshou Palace have never seen such a battle before!Now he was trembling with fright, and could hardly speak.

"Truthfully recruit."

The two servants didn't dare to hide anything, so they told everything that happened that day.The little eunuch said again, "I can hear you clearly, that voice is Aunt Jinxiu."

The queen mother's face turned green, and Aunt Su Ma quickly comforted her, "Quiet the queen, calm down!" she turned her head and shouted, "You slave, think clearly before you speak!"

The little eunuch was so frightened, he just wanted to prove that he wasn't lying, and said, "I don't dare to lie! Concubine Jing and Aunt Jinxiu are usually indistinguishable from each other. The slave guards the gate of Yongshou Palace. The second time, I only said that Concubine Jing treats the servants well. But Concubine Jing treats Aunt Jinxiu very well, she always keeps watch at night with Aunt Jinxiu, and even dines with Concubine Jing."

The empress, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth and said, "This palace treats servants the same way, and the empress dowager treats Aunt Su Ma in the same way. According to you, both this palace and the empress dowager are chaotic palaces." gone?"

The little eunuch trembled with fright, and kowtowed violently, "I dare not! I just... just reported the truth. That night... that night I really heard..."

"What did you hear?" The Queen said again, "You eunuch who guards the gate, do you know about the relationship between men and women? You didn't see it with your own eyes, but just listened to it out of thin air, and dared to make it up. Now you are still figuring it out. Why, master stay here You are a good person, but you are wrong?" The queen turned cold, "Why does this palace think that it is you, the eunuch, who hates Concubine Jing for treating you badly, and maliciously slanders you."

"The empress is very careful!" The little eunuch was so frightened that he peed his pants and kowtowed until blood flowed from his forehead, "Every sentence of this servant is true, and there is no lie! If you don't believe me, you can ask the maids of Jingyang Palace—"

However, seeing this scene, the maids of Jingren Palace dared not say a word, they just said, "My servant... I was frightened by him that night, so I don't know what I heard..."

The little eunuch turned pale with shock, "You! You are talking nonsense! You clearly heard—"

"Shut up!" Aunt Su Ma sternly said, "Just because you are a slave, you want to frame a concubine, what a fool's dream! Come on, drag him out, punish him with a stick, and make an example! See who dares Gossip behind your back and spread rumors indiscriminately."

Regardless of the little eunuch yelling for injustice, there was a lot of screaming outside.Where one hundred sticks were used, fifty sticks were used, and the little eunuch was already dead.

Everyone in the Palace of Compassion and Peace heard the screams of the little eunuch outside gradually weakening, half a stick of incense passed by, and the executioner came to report the news of the death of the little eunuch, the queen mother did not speak, and the queen remained expressionless, only Su Mala The aunt said coldly, "If you die, you can bury it. What else do you want to report?"

Concubine Ke looked at everything that happened in the Compassionate Ning Palace with a pale face, secretly glad that she didn't say a word in this case.After the queen mother and queen came back, within an hour, the young eunuch involved in the case had already died.And what about the little maid of Jingren Palace?Concubine Ke's hands trembled a little, and she quickly knelt down on the ground, "It's the concubine's lack of discipline and concubine's dereliction of duty that caused Yongshou Palace to be wronged. I beg the queen mother and empress to forgive me!"

The Empress Dowager had a gloomy face and only asked, "Who else is involved?"

"...and...the concubine's mother-in-law," Concubine Ke kowtowed with trembling hands and feet, "The concubine must be strictly disciplined when she goes back, and never let Yongshou Palace have any bad reputation!" As he spoke, Ke The concubine looked at the queen pleadingly, hoping that the queen would save her once.

The Queen's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Mother, although Concubine Ke has neglected her duties, she handled it properly, and it can be regarded as a balance of merit and demerit. Besides, these days, Concubine Ke is in charge of the harem, and there is hard work without credit. Observe."

The queen mother sighed, "Forget it, I'm embarrassing Concubine Ke too. Su Ma, give the silk and satin that Fanbang paid tribute to Concubine Ke last month."

Concubine Ke quickly kowtowed, "My concubine, thank the Queen Mother for your gift!"

But before Concubine Ke could breathe a sigh of relief, the queen mother suddenly said, "This harem is now the queen's job, you, don't accept the love of the Ai family, the Ai family is old, and there is no spirit to take care of you." Then said, "The queen , You can figure it out. The journey has been exhausting, and the family is tired."

The queen's expression froze, and when she looked at the queen mother, the queen mother had already been supported by Aunt Su Ma to go into the room.The Queen and Concubine Ke hurriedly saluted, "Send the Queen Mother off!"

When only Concubine Ke and the Empress were left in the Compassionate Ning Palace, Concubine Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief.The hot potato of Yongshou Palace has finally been thrown out!Concubine Ke didn't want to delay any longer, so she hurriedly bid farewell to the queen, "The empress must be very tired after a long journey, so the concubine will stop bothering her and leave." But the first thing she did when she went back was to send this unlucky little maid to Xin Go to Zheku, royal secrets, whoever meets who will be unlucky!After all, it is about the face of the royal family. How can the so-called dignity of the royal family not whitewash the peace?Even if the peace is full of blood and debts.

How could the queen not know what Concubine Ke was thinking?What's more, there is no need to keep her, just smiled and said, "Concubine Ke has been working hard these days, go back and have a good rest."

"The concubine dare not, thank the empress for her concern." Concubine Ke wished she could disappear from the Palace of Compassion and Ning immediately.However, before she had just taken two steps, the queen suddenly called her, "Concubine Ke!"

"The concubine...is here!" Concubine Ke's heart skipped a beat, fearing that the queen would ask her to do something again, the queen could not help but sigh secretly when she saw her expression, but asked, "The matter of Concubine Jing... ..."

"The concubine is dereliction of duty!" Before the queen could finish speaking, Concubine Ke turned pale and wanted to kneel down.The queen hurriedly supported her, "Forget it, you step back."

Looking at it like this, there is nothing to ask.After pondering for a while, the queen simply went directly to Yongshou Palace.

Concubine Jing has been waiting for her for a long time, "My concubine greets the empress."

The queen paused, and supported her, "Auntie, there is no one else here."

"Oh," Concubine Jing looked into her eyes, "There are people everywhere here."

The queen could not speak for a long time.Concubine Jing pulled her into the room, but said with a smile, "You were only this tall when I first saw you." She raised her hand and gestured to the little girl's height, "Now, you are so big. "

"Aunt—" Su Le glanced at Concubine Jing, but did not see Jinxiu, "Where is Jinxiu?"

Concubine Jing said casually, "I thought she was noisy, so I sent her away."

"Jinxiu is your personal maid. She was brought from the Horqin Grassland to accompany you to see the Changshengtian." Su Le looked into Concubine Jing's eyes and spoke calmly.The implication is that Concubine Jing's reason is too lame.

Concubine Jing pursed her lips, smiled meaninglessly, but suddenly said, "Do you know that Sang Zhi is about to die?"

Su Le's heart was suffocated, his face froze, "What?"

"I think it's weird, it's always been weird," Concubine Jing looked at Su Le with a half-smile, "She's a slave, a popular girl in Chengqian Palace, why did she dare to risk herself for you several times? I doubted her Motivation, I really can’t understand why she is so loyal to you. I always feel that she is a secret agent sent by Chengqian Palace, but when you were imprisoned by the emperor and almost abolished you, she ran to Yongshou with bloody wounds The palace came to beg me, tsk," Concubine Jing narrowed her eyes, "When changing clothes, the blood on the back is really unbearable to see. Oh, the whip wound seems to have been suffered in Kunning Palace. At that time, I thought it was funny, I had endured such heavy whipping in Kunning Palace, and almost died in Yongshou Palace, but she still dared to come to Yongshou Palace to beg me for you," Concubine Jing smiled sweetly, "I love her I was very interested, so I took her to see you on purpose, and even told her to find a way to meet the Queen Mother, although I know that as long as you want, the Queen Mother can know about the Kunning Palace no matter what. But I just want to know What can she do for you?"

"She is a lowly girl. I thought that even if she wanted to break her head, she would not be able to see the Queen Mother, but what I didn't expect was that she was so bold that she dared to use the Emperor to achieve her goal, and even made a scene in the Palace of Compassion. Concubine Jing laughed, "Interesting, really interesting."

"I didn't understand at first, so I asked Jinxiu. Jinxiu was stunned and told me that if I fell into a desperate situation like yours, she would do it too. Jinxiu said that she would do anything for me."

"I'm surprised. Jinxiu never said such words. I've never seen her look so determined. I looked into Jinxiu's eyes that day, and for some reason I couldn't help but belittle her." The corners of Concubine Jing's lips With a smile overflowing, "She was so frightened at that moment. And I finally understood that your mulberry branch is not loyal, it is simply lust/bold." Concubine Jing sighed softly, "But then again, if Jinxiu also has this color/gut, so we won't be wasted for so many years."

Su Le's heart was shocked, her face was flushed, and she turned pale in panic, "What nonsense are you talking about! Sangzhi is not!" She turned and shouted tremblingly, "As a concubine, you are the emperor's woman. How can you have an emperor, how can you-" However, the heart in the chest was beating wildly, and the past was overwhelming, and everything seemed to make sense!Sangzhi... Sangzhi, she...the queen clenched her teeth, but felt her nose sore, her eyes were hot and almost red.how could be?How can it be?Sangzhi...how could it be possible with sangzhi!However, a small voice came out from the bottom of my heart and said, so it is!The queen looked panic-stricken, and her accusations became so powerless.

"Why can I only have him in my heart!" Concubine Jing turned cold and interrupted Su Le, "He can have a harem of three thousand, why should I guard myself like a jade for him?! In his eyes, what am I? Think Come when you want me, and step on it when you don't want me, what is I, Meng Guqing, in his eyes?! The emperor's favor, haha, only a fool would believe it! It's the concubine Dong E who is currently favored What is it? A woman is nothing more than a plaything to the emperor. If you are in a good mood today, play with this, and if you are not in a good mood tomorrow, you will play with that. Does he really think he is so great?" Concubine Jing looked crazy He said, "Queen, let me tell you, I didn't know what a woman is until I got married with Jinxiu. The emperor never pity women, he only vents his animal nature, and has he ever cared about what women think? He will never He will know how to cherish women, because he is the emperor, and he has a lot of women waiting for him to be pampered. Do you think Concubine Dong E is really so enviable? Let me tell you, the emperor and I are still the best No, he will not please women at all. He can only plunder, invade, and enjoy women. He thinks this is the masculinity of a man, but he doesn't know whether women like it or not, and women in the palace, who dares to Say half a word? Like it or not, you have to pretend to like it very much, it is very useful. Hehe, there is no comparison, of course they don't know what kind of guy the emperor is."

Although these words are not explicit, the meaning is already very presumptuous.Su Le was astonished by her outrageous words, "Are you crazy?"

"I've had enough." Concubine Jing's voice slowed down, but it was still like an endless storm, "Why, why should I be bullied everywhere? Why can't I live a good life with my sweetheart? Empress, don't you I will understand. Maybe Sangzhi can understand, but it is a pity that she is dying." Concubine Jing's expression gradually softened, with tears in her eyes, "Queen, people like me, people like Sangzhi, in this palace You can’t live here. You know what? People like us, either live like corpses or die with all our heart.”

"You're crazy." The queen murmured absentmindedly, "You're crazy." But she said to herself, "Sang Zhi won't die, with me here, I won't let her die."

Concubine Jing laughed loudly, "You? What's the use of you? Didn't you come today for the Queen Mother's order? Could it be that the power in the middle palace is in your hands? My empress, you know that the queen mother is testing you, but you still You have to follow the Queen Mother’s will. If the mulberry branch is not in your hands, you have nothing to do with whether she will be tortured to death. Even if it is in your hands, would you have a way? I have been handed over to you, but you know better than me that you are just running errands for the queen mother, even if I don't die, you have to kill Jinxiu. Now that Jinxiu is not here, how can you tolerate me?" Concubine Jing pitifully Glancing at her, "You and I are nothing more than puppets of the Queen Mother. Those who follow her will live, and those who go against her will die. How can this entire harem not belong to the Queen Mother? Even the emperor is afraid of the Queen Mother, let alone you and me."

The empress had mixed feelings in her heart, she was silent for a long while and finally raised her head, looked into Concubine Jing's eyes, and said softly but firmly, "I am the master of the central palace." She clenched her fists and said in a low voice, "I want the mulberry branch not to die. You can't let her die either. The emperor can't, and the queen mother can't either."

☆, 001

After a word, the two fell into silence.Concubine Jing stared fixedly at the queen for a long while, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corners of her lips, she paused each word with a bit of spirit, "I believe in you." Concubine Jing raised her head and took a deep breath, "I believe in you. I do No, but you can." She said, "Because you were born for this Forbidden City."

After the queen heard this, her lips moved slightly but she just said, "Stay well in Yongshou Palace."

"You don't have to think about me," Concubine Jing smiled, "I just ask you for one thing." She looked at the queen, "Just help me settle down in Jinxiu, and I will die without regret."

The queen paused, but did not answer.Jinxiu belongs to Concubine Jing, but not to the Empress. The Empress doesn't have much affection for Jinxiu.A slave is a slave, and in the queen's heart, the hierarchy is very clear. She can forgive others out of compassion, but she will not treat others as equals to her.Sangzhi is different to the queen because Sangzhi has never been servile from the beginning to the end, and has not shown the slightest servility. Sangzhi's unconscious self-esteem makes the queen respect her subconsciously.But Jinxiu is different, Jinxiu is just a servant's attitude from the beginning to the end, and the queen's affection for Jinxiu is just a slave.What's more, now that Jinxiu has been sent out of the palace, with the queen's current power, there are still many risks in extending her hand outside the palace.After a long time, the queen finally said, "Is it worth it for a slave?"

Concubine Jing was taken aback, "Slave?" She couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Jinxiu is to me what Sangzhi is to you. I never regarded her as a slave, so do you regard Sangzhi as a slave?" Concubine Jing asked confidently, "Is the way you treat Sangzhi the attitude of a queen towards her slaves?"

"Why are Jinxiu and Sangzhi the same?" the queen frowned, "Sangzhi is different from everyone else."

Concubine Jing smiled helplessly, "It's all the same no matter what is different. Queen, you are the mother of a country, and your mother respects the world—wheeze," Concubine Jing laughed out loud, "What a grand-sounding rhetoric. The mother of the country, the mother of the world, is ridiculous." She shook her head, "Forget it, I don't know how to tell you, in fact, I don't understand it very well in my heart. Ever since I was deposed and lived in Yongshou Palace, only Jinxiu and The other two maids. Because of the difference with Jinxiu, I gradually felt that I was no different from the maids, just like a family. Who didn’t have a father and a mother? Why are they only slaves and we are masters? I I can’t figure it out, it’s probably life.”

"My aunt is a demon. We, the Horqin Borzigit family, belonged to our destiny and have a noble blood, so we are naturally different from them."

Concubine Jing laughed twice, "Noble blood? Is their blood different from ours? Isn't it red or bloody? Oh, that's all, I don't know, maybe it's destiny." After a pause, he continued, " I know that Jinxiu's affairs are embarrassing for you, so I don't ask you to help her, I just hope that you can check her news for me and let me know that she is safe."

This is not too difficult, and the queen will naturally accept it.Although she didn't have much contact with Concubine Jing in the past, the Empress knew that Concubine Jing was one of the few people who treated her sincerely in the harem.No matter how Concubine Jing regards death as home, she has secretly made up her mind to keep Concubine Jing.But based on the Queen's understanding of Concubine Jing, based on Concubine Jing's strong temper, knowing that the Dongchuang incident can't be covered up now, Meng Guqing must not hide it, especially when facing the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it will be even more staunch.It is necessary to give the current concubine Jing a fetter, so that she may be able to restrain her indulgence a little.After pondering for a while, the queen said, "Auntie, it's hard to do it alone. I am alone in the harem. If I want to gain a firm foothold under the empress dowager, I must have helpers. I believe that with my aunt's resourcefulness, if you are willing to give me advice, I will definitely help you." It's like a tiger with wings added." He said again, "If I am in charge of the harem in the future, I will definitely settle down Jinxiu, and it's okay to stay in Yongshou Palace to accompany my aunt well."

Meng Guqing is such a smart and transparent person!Don't you know what the Queen's real purpose is when she said this?Then she smiled and said, "The concubine is sympathetic." Seeing that the little queen's eyes were still a little worried, Concubine Jing sighed softly, "At least, I won't lose my sense of propriety until there is news of Jinxiu."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine Jing said again, "If you really have the heart, this matter will not be accomplished in a day, it must be done slowly."

"What my aunt said is true," the queen said with a smile, "but please rest assured, I will never act recklessly."

Concubine Jing laughed and sighed, "I want you to be reckless, I'm afraid you won't be reckless." Meng Guqing said in his heart, the empress is young, but her heart is extremely persevering. Dilemma, endured these things in obscurity, but still able to share the same share with Chengqian Palace with his own strength, neither taking away Chengqian Palace's limelight and causing blows, nor degrading Kunning Palace's prestige.Meng Guqing asked himself that he would never be able to do it.This kind of person either doesn't act, but if he really wants to move, he will change the sky without making a sound.It's like the turbulence under the deep sea. Usually it doesn't show the mountains and the water, but once it rises, it will be a huge wave, and everything is unstoppable.After thinking for a while, he said, "Sang Zhi may be your greatest help."

The queen paused, turned her face and said softly, "I will save you. But... if she really has other intentions, I'm afraid Kunning Palace won't be able to keep her."

Seeing the queen's serious expression, Concubine Jing smiled meaningfully and said seemingly irrelevant words, "Sincerity is the rarest thing in life. Especially in the palace, if someone is willing to treat sincerity, it must be burnt in the past life." High fragrance." She looked at the queen, "For you, some people are lucky to keep them; if you don't keep them, you may not be unlucky. But for me, if you can't keep them, you'd rather die." She sighed secretly in her heart, if The queen can really keep no one, I'm afraid it will be another queen mother at that time.But is this a good thing, or a bad thing?But it doesn't matter, Meng Guqing doesn't care about these things, she only wants her and Jinxiu to survive this calamity safely.

The queen is not willing to say much about Sangzhi. The word "Sangzhi" has become an unspoken secret in her heart. No matter what she thinks in her heart, she can't show the slightest strangeness. She always remembers her identity - the empress of the Qing Dynasty, the mother of a country .Even in front of Concubine Jing, she couldn't show any emotions that she shouldn't have.But in fact, the queen was very upset.What he said was categorical, but in fact, he knew in his heart that it was more like self-deception. Concubine Jing's meaningful smile made the queen even more upset.She didn't know what to do with the mulberry branch, but she couldn't think about it that far, the most urgent task was how to get the mulberry branch out of the Compassionate Ning Palace.Then he got up to say goodbye, but stopped at the door, and said softly, "No one is naturally suitable for the palace, but I envy you for being so bold and presumptuous." After finishing speaking, he left.

Concubine Jing looked at her back and said to herself, "It's not the same. As long as I have your patience, I can't end up where I am today. Besides, you are still so young."

The queen felt heavy in her heart, and her steps were heavy.The matter of saving Sangzhi must not be too obvious, otherwise I am afraid that it will make the Queen Mother unhappy and bring disaster to Sangzhi instead.She must endure, at least for now, she must endure.Even though her heart was extremely anxious, the queen's skill was that no matter how twists and turns she had in her heart, she couldn't show the slightest bit on her face.

As soon as she left Yongshou Palace, she met Cai Wanyun who was coming towards her.As soon as Nanny Cai heard that the queen was coming back, she was already in the Kunning Palace, ready to meet her.But he couldn't wait for a long time, so he came out to greet him.

The matter of Yongshou Palace was quietly suppressed, and no one knew what twists and turns had happened here.It's just that Yongshou Palace suddenly changed guards, Concubine Jing was grounded in private, and the Queen Mother specially changed Concubine Jing's maid to replace Jinxiu.These things were going on without waves, and almost no one cared, after all, Yongshou Palace has always been like a cold palace.Only the Queen and Concubine Jing knew in their hearts that in name they were maids sent by the Queen Mother, but in reality they were just her eyes and ears.It's just that this maid's life is not easy, and the left and right Concubine Jing is not a master.About three to five days later, the queen mother removed the maid in anger and helplessness, and only ordered Concubine Jing to meditate on her own mistakes.

The queen has always been very obedient.Since he was ordered to deal with the case of Concubine Jing, it was natural to find out Jinxiu's whereabouts.But five or six days had passed, and the queen only found out that Jinxiu had gone to Baiyun Temple, and she had disappeared since then.In addition, the winter hunting has already entered December, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. All the affairs in the palace are being prepared intensively, and the queen is very busy.Jinxiu's whereabouts, the opportunity to save Sangzhi, the preparations for the New Year, plus the already messed up thoughts—all these things piled up, the empress empress was haggard, and she lost a lot of weight.

On the contrary, Sangzhi, compared to the empress, lived a barely passable life.The outer courtyard is nothing more than a coolie, with heavy work but poor food and little sleep. The environment is also messy and messy. I can’t eat enough. Although the clothes are not ragged, the coarse linen clothes can only cover the body but cannot keep out the cold, especially when the weather is getting colder and colder. , of course life is not easy.But the good thing is that the people here are simple and have no evil intentions. They each do their own work and will not intrigue.There are also temporary workers hired from outside the palace such as Sangu, after all, there are fewer dull rules in the palace, and they can also gossip about parents.

More than a month has passed for Sangzhi, and her whole body has become rough.Needless to say, the hands, a thin layer of calluses had already crawled out, rough and stinging.Naturally, his complexion wasn't much better, although it wasn't as pale as a dish, but it was dark and thin after all.The only thing she can do is to try her best to clean her bed and clothes. Unfortunately, she has to move charcoal almost every day, and her clothes are so dirty that she can't see the color every day, but Sangzhi always insists on washing the clothes.If she doesn't insist on keeping her whole body clean, she is afraid that if things go on like this, she will become a person like the third aunt, who only cares about food and clothing and ignores everything else. She feels a string in her heart, fearing that she will be assimilated by the environment.

The people in the outer courtyard all said that she was strange, and advised her why she should waste her energy in vain.No one here has clean clothes, only Sangzhi wears them clean every day, even though they are only clean when they get up in the morning.Of course they couldn't understand that for Sangzhi, being clean and tidy was the last thing she insisted on.Unlike other people whose hair is dirty and dry, greasy and sticky and curled up in a mess around the neck, Sangzhi took the opportunity to go to the old palace lady to take a bath. She put her hair up, revealing a smooth forehead, looking capable Comfortable.

Although she does the same job as everyone else, she is different, she is methodical, and she has a smile on her face.She sees the sky as vast, and she sees the clouds as elegant. When she has nothing and falls to the bottom, she can still enjoy the same scenery that the world bestows on everyone.She was different from them, always different.

Of course every day was tiring, almost exhausting.It's cold, and the first thing to do in the morning is to carry charcoal.Sang Zhi looked at the eunuchs coming from the charcoal truck, and found that they were all standing in such a uniform posture, as if they were in a horoscope, and asked curiously, "Why are you all standing in the same posture?"

A young eunuch proudly said, "This is what the Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple taught us!"

"Teach you...to stand like this?" Sang Zhi didn't understand, "What name is this?"

"The Taoist priest said, if we stand like this every day, we won't be afraid of getting tired after a long time." The little eunuch couldn't tell why, but said, "That's it." He also stood up specifically for Sang Zhi to see, "It turns out that we are also I didn’t think so, but after standing for a long time, I found that I really didn’t feel tired.”

Seeing the little eunuch clasping his arms, his toes turned inward, and his body squatting slightly, Sang Zhi looked at it carefully for a while, and was startled, suddenly realized, "This is standing!"

"Standing?" The little eunuch didn't quite understand, "What is that? The Taoist priest didn't tell us what it is, he just told us so that we won't get tired after standing for a long time."

Sang Zhi was overwhelmed with surprise and amazed, "This is the basic skill of martial arts, stance. If you persist in this way for a long time, you will naturally benefit a lot. I only heard about it in the past, but I didn't see it with my own eyes. Standing man!"

Standing one skill is called basic skill because everyone can practice it.The difficulty lies in whether you can persevere. If you persevere, you will not need to talk about strengthening your body.Sang Zhi hurriedly said, "I don't know if you can teach me?"

"This is not acceptable," the little eunuch waved his hand, "What does a woman look like standing like this, no, no!"

No matter how much Sang Zhi begged, the little eunuchs refused.But the third aunt couldn't see it later, so she came over and said, "I'll teach you."

"Third Aunt?" Sang Zhi was taken aback, "You will too?"

The third aunt said, "That's not true. I often come to work in the palace, and I often go to Baiyun Temple to offer incense. There was an old Taoist who thought I was not in good health and taught me. I am a rough countryman, but I don't have so many rules, so I follow I have learned a lot, look how strong I am now! Come, I will teach you." So he pulled the mulberry branch into a posture.

Sang Zhi was dumbfounded.Unexpectedly, there are such capable people in the outer courtyard!I can't laugh or cry in my heart, is this the so-called master among the people?It's just a pity that the "masters" themselves don't know that they are masters.But in fact, they can't be regarded as "masters". It's just that these low-level ordinary people have a lot of contact with Taoist temples, and the monks have a compassionate heart, so they personally taught them some ways to strengthen their bodies.

But for Sangzhi, this was definitely an unexpected surprise.No matter what, the body always comes first.Moreover, Sangzhi vaguely felt that since he calmed down, his memory has gradually improved, and he seldom gets sick.She thought, is it because the mind is calm so the mind is at ease, and the mind is at peace, so the body gradually stabilizes?Therefore, I am more keen to learn to stand up with Sangu every day.

It's just that the longer he stayed in the outer courtyard, the thinner Sang Zhi became, almost as skinny as a stick.She thought, she can no longer sit still and find a way to get herself out of here.One day, when Sang Zhi was still thinking about how to save herself, the third aunt suddenly came over with a look of panic, dragged her to a corner mysteriously, and whispered, "Sang Zhi, I have something to tell you."

The author has something to say: I really hate plagiarism.

With a glance, Sangu's hands trembled slightly, Sang Zhi couldn't help frowning, followed her to the corner and asked softly, "Sangu, what happened?"

The third aunt didn't answer, she looked around first, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she took out something wrapped in coarse cloth from her pocket with trembling hands, "Here."

"Give it to me?" Sang Zhi was a little surprised, "What?" She asked, and lifted layers of coarse cloth until the last layer. On the coarse cloth lay a small half of a hundred taels of silver bills quietly, but the silver bills were fishy. It's red, with a character drawn crookedly on it, which Sangzhi can't understand.

The third aunt was embarrassed, "Someone asked me to bring it to you, and I don't know it either."

"People outside the palace?" Sang Zhi was puzzled, wondering who it was?She doesn't know anyone outside the palace.At this moment, he suddenly thought, could it be Sang Zhi's family?But it’s not right, I remember that when I checked the slave registration, I found out that Sang Zhi’s family was too poor, and finally had to send Sang Zhi to the palace to exchange money, and there was almost no news.There were two daughters and two sons in her family. Sangzhi was the oldest and capable of the most work.It's a pity that I couldn't afford it. The youngest son died of illness, and the youngest daughter starved to death. The second son was left as a slave, and the eldest daughter was also sent to the palace.
