Twilight GL

The window behind Mingsu was wide open, reflecting a pool of summer lotus, and the lotus wind blew into the hall, slightly shaking a lock of hair on the side of her face.

Today she is wearing an apricot yellow palace dress, a wide-sleeved shirt and a lacquered sarong crown, which not only shows her heroic spirit, but also her daughter's femininity.

Only her eyes were frighteningly cold.

Zheng Mi stood in front of the palace gate, not daring to go in, not knowing how to explain why she was here, nor how to resolve the embarrassing situation.

There were small footsteps coming forward from behind, and a close servant stepped forward, knelt in front of the hall door, and said: "The little one has already reported to the empress Shu, and the empress said, let your highness go early, she hasn't seen your highness for a long time. ,miss so much."

It turned out that the attendant who sent the message to Concubine Shu's palace came back, and he was the one who saluted just now, exposing the empress who was eavesdropping outside.

Xuan Guo stood by the door of the hall, very nervous, he looked back at the princess's face, waved his hand and said, "Understood, you step back."

The attendant kowtowed and withdrew.

As soon as he stepped back, no one spoke, and the hall seemed to be empty, so empty that people panicked.

It was impossible to walk now, Zheng Mi stabilized his mind, supported Yun Sang's hand, and stepped into the palace gate.

Mingsu watched her enter the palace, and watched her get closer and closer.Zheng Mi's palms were wet, and she tried her best not to squint and look calm.

Mingsu moved suddenly, she stood up from the soft couch, a smile slowly appeared on her face, her tone was cold, she raised her sleeves and saluted: "I pay my respects to your empress."

She was actually calm and composed, without panic, obviously relying on her own power, even if the queen heard about it, the queen would not do anything to her.

Zheng Mi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as someone speaks first, she was afraid that the situation would be stalemate and Mingsu would feel embarrassed, so she would avoid her from now on.

"Princess, you don't need to be too polite." Zheng Mi said with a smile.

Ming Su straightened up, the salute she made just now was not very respectful, but now she straightened up, she was even more arrogant.

Zheng Mi thought about what to say, and tentatively said: "This is the first time I met the princess today, I don't want the princess to speak, and I will kill me."

The fresh and comfortable lotus wind just now was actually a little cold.After Zheng Mi finished speaking, she realized that at some point, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Xuan Guo at the door lowered his head deeply.Yun Sang was also very nervous, and the empress did not avoid it, but took the initiative to mention that if His Highness Xin Guo was offended, the current Renming Hall would not be able to compete with His Highness.

But Mingsu showed no signs of fear, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, my lord, forgive me."

She was calm and calm, Xuan Guo, as her valet, gained confidence and raised his head.Yun Sang became more and more panicked, for fear that His Highness would be jealous of the Empress and play tricks in the future.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Su sat down directly, without paying attention to the Queen at all, picked up the teacup on the low table, and bowed his head to savor the fragrance of tea.

Zheng Mi suddenly felt bad, not because Mingsu was disrespectful, but because she found out that Mingsu regarded her as an irrelevant idler, so he refused to give her more than one look, and didn't care what she heard. What was the mood of those words just now?

Zheng Mi felt uncomfortable for a while, and her heart became angry. Thinking of what Xuan Guo said, she might turn around to restrain Ming Su's words after she got out of trouble, and said flatly: "You misjudged me, I am not such a person."

As soon as these words came out, Mingsu raised her head suddenly, and the tea cup slipped from her fingers and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Zheng Mi herself was stunned.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Zheng Mi always felt that she and Ming Su were very suitable.

One of them is a princess, and the other is not as prominent as the royal family, but she is also the granddaughter of the Tai Tuo, the queen's niece, with such a background, even if they are talking about marriage, no one can say that they are unsuitable.

Therefore, the two of them have been very close since childhood, studying and playing together, spending most of their lives together.Mingsu likes to play the flute, so she plays the piano to complement each other; she loves to paint, so Mingsu writes an inscription to accompany it. In short, there is no discord.

But with such a good friendship, after the Zheng family was convicted, she never thought of Mingsu at all.

The crime that can destroy the whole family cannot escape the word "reverse".Less than a month after his grandfather died, a minister in the court impeached his grandfather for plotting rebellion during his lifetime.The emperor was furious. While berating the minister for talking nonsense, he was imprisoned. At the same time, he ordered a thorough investigation, and threatened to return the Taifu to his innocence, to comfort the Taifu, the spirit in heaven.

Then, after less than three days of investigation, many criminal evidences were found, proving that the Taifu did have the intention of treason, and even more treasonous acts.The emperor was heartbroken, and ordered the mausoleum to be pulled down for a new burial on the grounds that the Taifu had failed the holy grace and was not worthy of a grand burial as the Taifu.In return for the kindness of the Taifu's support and teaching, he has never sinned against the descendants of the Zheng family.

As a result, countless overreaching objects, even a dragon robe, were unearthed from the mausoleum.

Only then was the emperor furious, and scolded the entire Zheng family for disregarding the king's grace, committing arrogance, and being unworthy of living in this world.All male members of the Zheng family, regardless of their age, were beheaded, while the female family members were locked in a small courtyard of the Zheng family, waiting to be dealt with.

The news of the empress' death was passed by Zhao Liang, the eunuch next to the emperor himself.

After hearing this, the grandmother said that the Zheng family was doomed.

In the past dynasties, when dealing with the families of criminal officials, the males were executed, and the female family members were either exiled or confiscated into the palace as slaves or served as military prostitutes. The female family members of the Zheng family may end up even worse.Instead of surviving in the world, being insulted by others, living a life that is neither human nor ghost, worse than a beast, it is better to just end it and keep your innocence.

But Zheng Mi didn't want to die.

Before his death, the grandfather had a last word, specifically telling his children and grandchildren not to be buried too much, and to take only the brushes and inks he usually used, and a hundred volumes of his favorite books, so that he would not be lonely when he was born.When my father organized the funeral, he obeyed his grandfather's will and kept everything simple. All the funeral objects were exchanged for silver, which was less than a hundred taels.

This is what she saw with her own eyes, and there is absolutely nothing presumptuous.

The dragon robe taken out of the mausoleum was obviously planted by someone.

As for the criminal evidence of treason, it is even more fictitious and all fabricated.Everyone can see the strangeness in it.

But the emperor believed it, and even killed the killer.

So Zheng Mi understood, as well as the civil and military affairs of the court, it was not that Zheng Taifu was rebellious, but the emperor had murderous intentions, and he couldn't tolerate the Zheng family.

After she figured it out, she didn't want to die anymore. She was unwilling to let her loyal grandfather be accused of treason, and she was also unwilling to let the faint king with blood on his hands continue to be his emperor and live comfortably. half a lifetime.

Therefore, she became the only survivor of the Zheng family.

Her punishment is to be sent to the Jiaofang as a prostitute, and she will never be redeemed.

Jiaofangsi was originally the place where music was taught and studied, and it was under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple.But in this dynasty, Jiaofang has also become a place for dignitaries to have fun. Although it can't be like ordinary prostitutes, throwing gold and silver in a big way, holding oirans, but in Jiaofang, there are also rumors of top names, and there are also picks by dignitaries. comment.

As soon as Zheng Mi joined the Jiaofang, before he officially showed up, he became the top card.The head of the teaching workshop regarded her as a cash cow and ordered her to be trained.

Only then did she realize that the last sentence in the sentence that life is better than death means that you can't live and you can't die.Some of the teaching workshops are methods to grind people's temperament, and some are methods to make people subdued and obedient.Zheng Mi suffered countless tortures, and was beaten so that there was no good flesh on her body. After raising her, beating her again, raising her again, no matter what she said or did, it was a lesson day and night.

After more than ten days like this, no matter how stubborn a woman is, she must be subdued.

Along with Zheng Mi was a woman who was also a post-prisoner. She was extremely staunch at the beginning, but within a few days, her eyes lost their luster.

After more than ten days, after the training is completed, it will be listed, and the first night will be sold through bidding.

Zheng Mi was sitting in a room facing the hall on the third floor, the door of the room was a half-transparent gauze curtain.Sitting by the door, one can see and hear the crowds of people below.

The head of the Jiaofang personally solicited and yelled, but his words were extremely elegant. He read a few lines of poems first, and Zheng Mi heard that they were written by her in the past, and had been praised by her grandfather.

"This man is very talented and famous in the capital. In the past, it was difficult to see him face to face. Today, you are blessed. You have a chance to kiss Fangze, so don't miss it." The chief finally said this sentence.

There was a burst of laughter, and people bid one after another.

Zheng Mi closed her eyes, not thinking about anything.Because it's useless to think about anything.

Finally, the victors were chosen.

"What's so talented, what's so famous that moves the capital, she's just a prostitute." Whoever was at the bottom, who probably lost, said angrily, and it was clearly heard by Zheng Mi's ears.

There was silence in the hall, and then a person smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord. After today, there will be plenty of opportunities. I'm afraid you will get tired of it after a few times."

For a while, laughter started again, and the sound of pushing cups and changing cups was frequent, very happy.

Zheng Mi was changed into elegant clothes and sent into an elegant room. There were pianos, flowers, incense, and picture scrolls in the room, which was very elegant.

A nobleman dressed luxuriously came in, saw her, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "I won a good night with a thousand taels of gold in vain."

Zheng Mi didn't recognize this person, presumably his father must have been an important minister in the court to allow him to win here.

"Why don't you speak? Could it be that Taifu Zheng's granddaughter is dumb?" The man smiled again, walked over, and grabbed her wrist.

Zheng Mi was disgusted, but she could only let him drag her around.

She was dragged to the bed, and the man picked and said: "It's a pity, it's so dull, it's really disappointing." He pressed Zheng Mi on the bed, stretched out his hand to take off her clothes, the expression on his face changed again, and he smiled. Nausea, "But with me here, I will naturally let you get the fun of it."

Her coat was torn off, and there was nothing left inside.She closed her eyes, and in her mind was the dead body of her grandmother hanging in front of her eyes, the voice and appearance of her grandfather teaching her when she was a child, and the gentle eyes of her aunt who cared about her daily life.

Chastity is nothing compared to many things.

Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, Zheng Mi endured it, the man pressed her up, said something with a smile, and pressed his lips to her neck, the man's breath made Zheng Mi nauseous, she grabbed the quilt, closed her eyes and endured.

There was a loud bang, and the door was kicked open from the outside.

Zheng Mi opened her eyes, looked towards the door, and Ming Su walked in.

The man got up and shouted angrily: "Who are you?"

Zheng Mi had just endured it, but now, in front of Mingsu, she felt extremely embarrassed. She sat up and hurriedly gathered her coat.But no matter how she gathers up her clothes, she feels useless, as if she was thrown in front of Mingsu naked, without any dignity left.

The man couldn't say a second sentence, so he was dragged out by covering his mouth.

The door was closed again.

Mingsu came over.

Zheng Mi had never seen her so angry that she was trembling with anger.

The incense seemed to be getting stronger, and Zheng Mi felt dizzy for a while. She was still sitting on the bed, with the wall behind her, and there was no place to escape.

Mingsu's eyes were full of anger, pity, panic, and fear.She walked over slowly and sat down on the edge of the bed. Carefully, she reached out and tentatively held the back of her hand.

Zheng Mi seemed to wake up suddenly, she withdrew her hand abruptly, and flinched back.

Mingsu's eyes were red, and there were tears in her eyes. She suppressed the tears, and retracted her hands, hiding them under her sleeves and clenched them into fists.She wanted to talk, and she clearly had a belly full of words to say, but when things got to this point, she didn't know where to start with her belly full of words.

Zheng Mi doesn't want to see her, she knows about the extermination of the family, it has nothing to do with Ming Su, she is only 14 years old, she can't do anything.But she still couldn't help but think of her father, who killed her all over the house.

"I, I'm late." Finally Mingsu spoke, her voice was so hoarse that it was almost impossible to make out what she said.

Zheng Mi smiled: "I didn't expect His Highness to come today, so it turns out His Highness has this kind of thought in mind for me."

Mingsu was stunned, she blinked, as if she didn't understand, slowly, her eyes were full of disbelief, she stood up, her lips were bitten due to patience, but she had nothing Jue, looked at her in shock and pain, and took a step back.

"Since your Highness is here, don't let Liang Ye down." She looked at her coldly, like a bystander, watching Mingsu's embarrassment.

Ming Su shook his body, tears rolled down his face.

Zheng Mi felt happy for some reason, felt Mingsu's face overlapping with the emperor's face in a trance, she just wanted to hurt her severely, take revenge on her, she thought of the most painful words for Mingsu, and said it: " Or, Your Highness dislikes me being touched just now, so please wait a moment, Your Highness, let me take a shower and change clothes again..."

Before she could say anything, there was the sound of her knee hitting the ground, and Mingsu knelt down in front of her.
