Rebirth of the Second Young Master of the Ren Family

After autumn, the laurel next to Chuxiu Palace blooms very well, and the strong fragrance of osmanthus can be smelled from a long distance.On the tall laurel tree, the exquisite goose-yellow petals fluttered slightly in the wind. They fell from the tree accidentally and sank into the soil. people trampled underfoot.

Wang Pingting was sitting behind a willow tree beside Longquan, with her chin resting on her palm, looking at the gurgling spring water at her feet, sometimes she put her hand into the flower basket on one side, sprinkled the osmanthus petals she picked up in the water, and looked at the yellow osmanthus. The bits and pieces follow the current away.Although it will eventually disappear without a trace, it is better than the fate of being stained by mud.

Gently sniffing the lingering fragrance in her palm, Wang Pingting thought, what will be her fate?She chose to be the laurel, but she didn't know whether it would be the one that stayed on the branch, submerged in the soil, or drifted with the tide?

"Pingting chooses a girl, it's cold at night, let's go back." The young woman dressed as a court lady beside her said softly.

"Xinghong, I'm wearing a coat, it's fine." Pingting tightened the velvet coat, looked up at the moonlight, it was almost time.

"No, let's sit in the laurel forest over there?" Xing Hong suggested.

The first round of the draft ended three days ago, and the remaining first-round picks were naturally renamed as draft girls.Xinghong was the chosen girl two years ago, and she has been working as a maid in the outer room of the palace, with no future.This time, she was actually assigned to be next to a newly promoted girl, which really made her overjoyed.You know, if this girl picker becomes powerful in the future, she will be the number one maid around her.

I thought I was lucky enough, but after inquiring about it, I found out that this Wang Pingting actually got Master Yuan's confession, so she must not be neglected.Xinghong immediately happily thanked the Buddha for his blessing, making her follow the right master.That Lord Yuan is an important minister in the court, His Majesty holds it in high regard, although Wang Pingting's origin is unknown, but since Lord Yuan specially took care of her, she must have a bright future.

However, after three days, Xinghong was not sure.

That laurel forest was in full bloom, and all the princes, princes, and even His Majesty who came to the palace would go to the laurel forest to enjoy the flowers. Those who choose women can't wait to stay in it all day long, looking forward to meeting noble people Woolen cloth.But Pingting did the opposite, she only asked Xinghong to pick up some sweet-scented osmanthus during the day, and she didn't go out.In the evening, after dinner, I went to the edge of Longquan, and sat for two hours.With no idea like this, Xinghong became anxious for her.

"No, I like the cool air here." Pingting naturally understood what Xinghong was thinking, but she still insisted.According to Ren Renxin's letter, the water from Longquan is exclusively for His Majesty's daily drinking tea, so His Majesty's people are guarding the vicinity.

For the past three days, she pretended to break in by mistake and approached the spring little by little, but no one came out to stop her.It is estimated that the guards in the dark saw that she was a chosen girl and had no ability to murder His Majesty, so they followed her.Everything she does is for today.

This Longquan is a treasure land, I don't know what is so wonderful, as long as you are by the spring, when you look up at the sky, you will see many more stars than other places, and even the moonlight is much brighter.But this secret is rarely known, because Emperor Tianren will come to Longquan to enjoy the moon on the fifteenth day of every month.

Pingting is well known for her self-knowledge. Her current location is at the downstream of Longquan, far away from the spring, and the scenery is also much different from there. However, she is also on the only way to the spring from Chuxiu Palace. square.Therefore, even if His Majesty came to Longquan, he would not come here.Therefore, for Pingting who is sitting here obediently, even if His Majesty will come today, the guards have no intention of driving her away.

Willow shoots on the moon, the time has come.

Pingting stood up slowly, took a deep breath, success or failure depended on it.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a rush of footsteps, and accompanied by the scent of makeup, a girl in red came from the direction of Chuxiu Palace.

Pingting stood behind the tree, looking down at the people who were getting closer.Her position was half a person's height higher than that of the red-clothed girl, so when she was hiding behind a tree, the red-clothed girl couldn't see her.

When the woman approached with the two maids behind her, Pingting quickly stepped out, slipped and fell to the ground.At the same time, the flower basket in his hand was tilted, and half of the basket of laurel petals was sprinkled on the head of the woman who happened to walk below.

The woman in red was startled, and hurriedly reached out to wipe the petals off her face.Pingting was shocked, she knelt down on the ground with a plop, begging for mercy softly: "Miss Zheng, I'm sorry, this servant didn't do it on purpose, I didn't see you coming..."

Zheng Wan'er let the two maids help her pick the petals from her head, glared at Pingting bitterly, and said arrogantly: "You are so brave, you dare to plot against me!" Looking at the girl in front of her, although she was not beautiful It is considered outstanding, but wearing the costumes of choosing women, he couldn't help but get even more angry: "What are you doing here! Tell me!"

She knew that His Majesty would come here, and it was the Queen Mother who told her. She thought she could create a chance encounter for the two of them to be alone, but she didn't expect that someone had already come!

The beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed, how did this chosen girl end up here?She knew His Majesty would come?

Pingting lowered her head, her body curled up into a ball, as if she was so frightened that she wanted to hide her body, she said in a trembling voice, "Servant, servant just came over unintentionally, seeing the clear spring water, then..."

After hearing her explanation, Zheng Wan'er frowned suspiciously, and looked up at him and her.But when he raised his head and realized that he was standing in a low place and had to look up at the kneeling woman, he felt even more uncomfortable.He winked at the maid beside him, who immediately understood.

The maid in Su Yi stepped forward, grabbed Pingting's arm that was propped on the ground, and forcibly pulled her down from half a person's height.Before Pingting could react, she fell to the ground from above, and blood immediately overflowed from her elbow, staining her apricot-colored sleeve red.

But even so, he immediately gritted his teeth, turned over and knelt down again, lowered his head and trembled slightly; "I know I was wrong, Miss Zheng, forgive me, I will never dare again..."

Seemingly satisfied with her humble attitude, she sniffled and felt that the petals on her body made the scent of laurel on her body very fragrant, and her mood improved.Thinking of going to see His Majesty in a hurry and not having time to hang out with a chosen girl, he waved his hand generously and said solemnly: "Forget it, I won't bother with you this time, go back quickly." Without waiting for Pingting to retreat, she quickly left with the two maids.

"Pingting chooses a girl, are you alright?" At this moment, Xinghong dared to speak out, jumped down from the top, carefully raised Pingting's right arm, looked at the blood-soaked sleeve, her eyes were red up.

Pingting rolled up her sleeves carefully, and the pain intensified when she pulled it, but she remained pale and said nothing.Sure enough, the skin from the elbow to the forearm was all scratched, and the red, white and white was very scary. Even if I was mentally prepared, I was shocked, let alone the apricot red.

"What should I do? What if I get scars!" Xing Hong stomped her feet and complained, "It's just that I accidentally scattered some flower petals. Why did I hit her so hard? She knew she was a bad person." In contrast, why don't you hide..."

"Xinghong!" Pingting interrupted her with a frown, and said in a deep voice, "Although I was punished today, Miss Zheng should be relieved of me because of this, and she won't embarrass me even if she encounters her in the future. So it's worth getting a little bit of injury." As he spoke, he tilted his head playfully and showed a smiling face.However, that pale complexion added a bit of pretentious toughness and flexibility.

Xinghong has lived in this palace for two years, she is not stupid, she is transparent at all.Immediately understood, Pingting's fall just now was not because she couldn't avoid it, but because she did it on purpose.If she really avoided the maid who came to hold her hand, it was obvious that she was resisting Zheng Wan'er, and she would suffer even more.But following Zheng Wan'er's wishes and getting hurt, she was still very respectful and humble. With Zheng Wan'er's arrogant temperament, she naturally disdained to argue with her, and even if they met in the future, she would not deliberately embarrass her.

It's just that the price is higher.

"In the future, don't do this again. Don't get scars for such a big injury." Xing Hong complained in a low voice while helping Pingting to walk back.

Pingting endured the pain, lowered her head, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Scars?This is a gamble.

Today's scene will definitely reach His Majesty's ears.What she did today was not for His Majesty, but for Zheng Wan'er.Although I don't know how Ren Ren learned that His Majesty would come here to enjoy the moon on the fifteenth of every month, but since he knew it, the Queen Mother must know it too.The Empress Dowager knew it, so Zheng Wan'er, the default candidate for the Empress, must know it even more.

Therefore, Zheng Wan'er will definitely come.

But Ren Ren said in the letter that His Majesty is extremely disgusted with the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and is even more dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, so naturally he will not have a good face towards Zheng Wan'er.Ren Ren said, Your Majesty is a somewhat extreme person, he loves Wu Jiwu and also hates Wu Jiwu.Then when these things of today spread to his ears, he would naturally dislike Zheng Wan'er even more, and at the same time feel pity for her.

Ren Ren said in the letter that what His Majesty likes are gentle and well-behaved girls, but you can't just blindly be submissive, and you have to be a little clever.Therefore, a few days ago, she pretended very well to be a gentle lady who admired springs and buried flowers. Today, she was even more obedient and courteous when facing Zheng Wan'er. Finally, she deliberately revealed in front of those guards that she had suffered a small injury on purpose. Keep yourself safe and show some cleverness.

In addition, the guards here have also seen Zheng Waner's arrogance with their own eyes. The standard configuration for female selection is one person and one court lady, but Zheng Waner chose to be different and brought two, and she showed off her power everywhere.Who would like such a woman?In contrast, Pingting, who was bullied by Zheng Wan'er and whose personality just fits His Majesty's preferences, has difficulty not attracting His Majesty's attention.

The information Ren Ren provided her in the letter was used to the extreme for the first time today.

She is not a top-notch and beautiful woman, nor is she a versatile beauty. Given her own conditions, it is impossible for her to be favored by His Majesty.But fortunately, Pingting is a smart enough woman, the previous cuteness was only due to her family background.Now after these changes, she has already matured and shrewd.

So, she decided to seize this opportunity and plan such a scene to give it a go.She succeeded, she attracted His Majesty's attention, as long as she could get close to him, with the detailed introduction of His Majesty's preferences in Ren Ren's letter, she was sure to win his favor.If it fails, it is nothing more than a scar on the arm, and then disappears among the selected women, without a bright future.

For the Wang family, for her brother, and for her mother, she had no choice but to gamble.

After returning to Chuxiu Palace, less than a stick of incense, the imperial physician came to check the pulse.The imperial physician did not say who sent him, but both Xinghong and Pingting knew it well.Pingting pretended to be flattered, and held out her wrist through the gauze curtain.Behind the hazy veil, she smiled softly.

She won.

Her lips moved slightly: Thank you, Brother Xiao.

Pingting stared at the night sky from the open embroidered window, and suddenly found that the full moon tonight made one feel the urge to cry.
