The days that followed were very peaceful.

I heard that the Emperor Yujia personally conquered the East China Sea once, conquered a small country in the East China Sea, and expanded the territory of Great Xia.Beiliang wanted to go south to obstruct it, but he was also trapped at the border and could not move an inch.

Great Xia has established the country for nearly a hundred years, and only in the past 20 years has it been tough and become a hegemon in the Central Plains, all because of the great talents of the current emperor.Without him, Great Xia would not be in its current prosperity.

In the east and west twelve palaces, contrary to the calmness of the west palace, the east palace is turbulent.

During the period when the emperor was away, many beautiful women had been punished, and of course there were some who behaved well and were appreciated by high-ranking ladies.Those who have not experienced it will never know the cruelty of the intrigue in the harem, especially the struggle between women.

The highest-ranking female concubine today is Wang Guifei, followed by Concubine Xiao Shu and Concubine Shu De, then Feng Zhaoyi, Lin Xiuyi, Wang Jieyu, and Ye Meiren.Among them, Concubine Wang Guifei and Concubine Shu De followed the emperor the longest, and were canonized as the main concubine and side concubine respectively when the emperor was still the King of Qin.But Concubine Xiao Shu came from behind, and became the most favored woman in the harem in just three years. She had a faint heart to compete for the imperial concubine, which showed that she was different.

Among the male concubines, apart from Mr. Beichen, currently the highest-ranking ones are Cui Minglang, Fang Shengze, Fang Shijun, Wang Qianliang Wang Shijun, and Fan Jianbin and Fan Shijun. Due to their different identities, they have moved out of Chenghui Palace and live alone. In the main hall.

Now I don't see Cui Minglang very often, and I seem even more withdrawn.Apart from going to Zangshuge to borrow books, I almost never go out again, so even though I am in Chenghui Hall, not many people know me, and I am happy to be at leisure.

The books in the library in the Chenghui Palace are limited, and I have almost searched through the books I often read on weekdays.

I know that the largest collection of books in the palace is Yushuzhai, but only the princes and grandchildren can borrow them, but male concubines do not have this authority, which is a pity.

But how can this ordinary life be spent besides being accompanied by poetry and books?

So I began to try to borrow books that I hadn't paid attention to before, and picked up a copy of "Night Stars and Stars" to read, but I was deeply attracted by the difficult and wonderful expositions in it, and I couldn't stop.

This day, I was distracted when I inadvertently heard a few faint cries for help.

"Help..." I closed the book in my hand to carefully distinguish the direction of the voice.

After walking a few steps, I saw a pool, and it was a young girl who called for help, but at this moment, she was already throbbing more and more weakly.

I quickly looked around and found a thick and long wooden stick in the garden, and carefully stretched it towards the girl in the pool.

"Hold on tight." I reminded, and after she grasped one end of the stick, I carefully pulled her to the edge of the pool, and then fished her out of the water with the strength of the stick.

The water in winter was extremely cold, and the girl was wearing thin clothes. When she got out of the water and was blown by the cold wind, she was shivering from the cold.

I took off my outer shirt and put it on her body, and helped her to a shelter from the wind and rain.

She coughed a few times, trembling non-stop, chanting words, seemed a little delirious.

It's a pity that I don't know medical skills, so I don't know how to treat her.And there is a difference between men and women. As a male concubine, it is not appropriate for me to argue with a woman.But if I let go, in her current state, even if she doesn't freeze to death, it will be a disaster.

His eyes glanced at the girl's clothes, she was not an ordinary maidservant, how could she appear in the West Palace?

She shivered for a while, and finally her body gradually warmed up, and she finally came back to her senses. When she saw me, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. She pulled my clothes and refused to let go. She just kept repeating: "Please help me, please. , please help me."

The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with disheveled hair, pale face, and helplessness and fear in her eyes.

I softened my voice and asked softly, "Tell me, what's your name? Who are you? Why are you in West Palace?"

Hearing my question, she then focused her eyes on me, was startled, lowered her head and said slowly: "I... My name is Su Jinyue, I entered the palace last year, and was conferred the title of Fengyi half a year ago. Live in Chuxiu Palace."

"So it's Su Fengyi. As a female concubine, why are you in the West Palace? I'm afraid this violates the palace rules." I stated with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy.

Looking at her appearance, although she was born small and exquisite, she also had a bit of beauty. She was conferred the title of Fengyi half a year ago, so it can be seen that she is the best among beautiful women, but half a year later, she was still Fengyi, and she has fallen to this point. It is not difficult to guess the experience something happened.

I'm not a nosy person, and the male concubine and the female concubine have always had nothing to do with each other, so there is really no need to go into this muddy water.

But when she heard the four words of violating palace rules, her body couldn't help shaking, and she said in a trembling voice: "I didn't come here, I don't know this place at all, I was tricked into coming here..." When she said this, she burst into tears She fell down suddenly and sobbed: "Yingzhu, a beautiful girl who entered the palace at the same year as me, hurt me many times, but this time she tricked me here and pushed me into the lake. I don't understand why she treats me like this."

"Yingzhu, is that the maid who sings well?" I asked lightly.

Although I have nothing to do with the world in the palace, I am not ignorant of recent events in the harem.

Yingzhu can be said to be the most favored rookie in the past few months. Although she is not as favored by Concubine Shu, she seems to be one of the best among the rising stars. The most commendable thing is her singing voice, which is often sung for the emperor in the Liyuan.

She nodded, with a flash of resentment in her eyes, she clenched her fists and said, "I treat her like a sister, and we will eat and live with her after entering the palace. She is jealous because I have been favored by the emperor first." , completely disregarding the sisterhood of the day."

The sadness in her eyes is not fake, but since she has entered the palace as a concubine, how can there be any sisterhood?

I sighed: "Since you know who she is, you should avoid her from now on. She is now a seventh-rank imperial daughter, so she shouldn't be in Chuxiu Palace, so you won't have many chances to meet."

I'm not persuading her to fight an eye for an eye. Isn't there enough intrigue in the harem?

"With your looks, you are considered outstanding among the girls of the same class. When you come out in the future, it is a good way to hide your strength and bide your time. If you really fight against that Yingzhu, I am afraid that you will be inferior."

But seeing the unwillingness in her eyes, she couldn't swallow this breath, and sure enough, she said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I have been killed by her before I can be favored by Your Majesty."

Her tone was sad and desperate, and I glanced at her soaked dress again, and said, "Even so, you have to pretend that nothing happened, this is not the place for you, you should leave quickly .”

"You...Young Master... May I ask you..." She looked at me suspiciously, hesitated for a while before gratefully saying: "Thank you for saving my life, Young Master, Jinyue will definitely repay it in the future."

I shook my head lightly and said: "I just saved you by accident, and you don't need to repay. I hope you can save your life in this harem and survive the catastrophe. There will be future blessings."

"Thank you, Young Master." She bowed to me and realized that she couldn't stay here for long, so she hurriedly left the West Palace under my guidance.

Because of what happened today, my mood is not as relaxed as before, but rather heavy and breathless.

Maybe I was lucky, I didn't meet anyone who treated me harshly in this Chenghui Palace, and because of my relationship with Cui Minglang, the other servants treated me a little less.And I have always been low-key and independent, not showing off the mountains and dews, and not many people know me.Everyone only thought that there was a servant Xie Xuan in the Chenghui Palace who was unremarkable in appearance, withdrawn and unsociable, destined to die alone in the Chenghui Palace, and this is what I would like to see happen.

When the time is right, I will not spend my whole life in Chenghui Palace.

Just this, I would never say to anyone.

Just let me come quietly and go quietly without leaving a trace.
