Jiang Ling thought to herself, of course her complexion was a little pale.

If Kangxi's meeting was not the second time but the third time, then she would not only have a bad complexion, but would run away.

Jiang Ling settled down, organized his words a little bit, and then said: "Thank you, Long Live Lord. I was worried because I didn't know the true face of the Holy Majesty when I was in front of the spirit of the Ningguo Mansion last time, and there were many offenses in my words. " After saying that, he lowered his head and said to himself that it was strange.

The last time Kangxi inspected in front of the Ningguo Mansion in disguise, and the last time Kangxi listened in the embroidery workshop, Jiang Ling knew it all.But firstly, she met Emperor Kangxi twice, both times with different identities; secondly, when she met Emperor Kangxi last time, she pretended not to know him, so this scene had to continue.

I hope this rhetoric can satisfy Emperor Kangxi.

She silently counted to three in her heart, and then she heard Kangxi smile and say: "It's okay, those who don't know are innocent."

Jiang Ling secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to stand up when he suddenly saw Kangxi's gaze falling on the desk—to be precise, on the wooden sign.The wooden sign was slightly larger than the others, with light gold lines engraved on the edge, no matter from which angle it looked, it looked different.And on that board, Jiang Ling's name was engraved squarely, which was also her identity in entering the palace.

Jiang Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he had some bad premonition.

But before she could sort out this premonition carefully, Kangxi had already withdrawn his gaze, and said indifferently: "You can keep this thing, at least it can protect you well. Those who put up signs and keep signs, don't bother at all. .Wait until the Empress Dowager is in front of you, and then make a decision."

After saying that, he tapped lightly on the signboard, which happened to be on the rhombus character, as if it was a bit eye-catching.

There was a bang in Jiang Ling's mind, and a gust of cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

In this huge harem, what does it mean to be able to protect the identity of a beautiful girl?

— Something big happened.

Just as Jiang Ling was about to speak, he heard Emperor Kangxi say again: "This Zhongcui Palace has been abandoned for more than [-] years, but it is quieter than other places. You can stay here with peace of mind and don't worry about other things. After a while, we will I can settle down now." After saying that, he got up and came to Jiang Ling, gently placed the wooden sign in her palm, and left Zhongcui Palace.

Jiang Ling held the wooden sign like holding a time bomb.

I don't know how long it took before there was a cold voice at the gate of the palace: "Why don't you hurry up and learn the rules, do you want to be punished?"

Jiang Ling looked back and saw that female officer just now was looking at her with a straight face and drooping eyelids.Looking at the Genglou next to him, it was already past noon, and it was almost time to learn the rules, so he stopped arguing, put the wooden sign in his waist, and walked in front of the female officer.

——She intentionally let the lady officer see the sign.

——I hope I can take the opportunity to ask, what is the origin of this brand.

But Jiang Ling's wish came to nothing.The female officer's eyes stayed on the sign for a moment, then she took it back, as if it was just an ordinary wooden identification sign.Jiang Ling could only keep his full of questions in his heart, and followed the female officer to the main hall of Zhongcui Palace.

There were four people standing neatly in the main hall, plus Jiang Ling, who happened to be the beautiful girl who came to Zhongcui Palace together this morning.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the female officer looked around and said in that extremely cold voice: "From today onwards, you will stay in Zhongcui Palace to learn the rules until after the general election and the position is determined. As for those who are high-spirited, let me take it in. There is no Miss Gege in this palace, only beautiful girls waiting to be selected. Don't think that everything will be safe when you arrive at Zhongcui Palace. First leave the sign and then be expelled from the palace. , or there is a precedent of keeping a sign before issuing it to Jehol.”

The show girls looked at each other in blank dismay, but they all answered yes, with a little uneasy expression on their faces.

After the female officials finished speaking, they checked the palace rules booklet in their hands again, and after confirming that they were correct, they asked them to memorize the rules firmly.Jiang Ling had learned these rules from the nuns in the mansion before, so it was very easy to learn.During the course of the female officer's teaching, she looked at her several times, with a rather surprised expression.

The whole afternoon was spent learning the rules.

At night, Jiang Ling went back to the house and looked at the wooden sign several times, but didn't see anything.That faint hollow gold thread was particularly eye-catching in the candlelight, and it also made her feel like a thorn in her back.This thing is in her hand, it can be said to be a talisman, or it can be said to be a time bomb.If it is not handled well, it will fall into an embarrassing situation.

When she was learning the rules in the afternoon, she quietly asked the beautiful girl beside her if she had ever returned her ID badge.

The answer I got was that the three showgirls had their badges returned, but the two showgirls hadn't.

But the badges of the other two show girls were all returned by the female officials one by one, and Jiang Ling was the only show girl who returned the identity wooden badges by the emperor himself.After Jiang Ling knew the truth of the matter, he had an even more ominous premonition: Emperor Kangxi most likely returned the identity badges of the other two beautiful women in order to deceive others.

—I hope my sixth sense is wrong.

——If it's right, then things are out of your control.

Holding the wooden plaque carved with gold thread, Jiang Ling sat in the candlelight for a long time, motionless like a wooden sculpture made of clay.

She remembered what the nuns had told her before she left: "Nowadays, the girl's official name is the innocent lady of the big family. Even if the Rongguo Mansion wants to do something, it must consider our master's ability. Don't worry, girl, no matter what the second wife wants, she won't be able to move the girl."

At that time, she thought, no matter what, she must repay this favor.

But Jiang Ling never thought about what would happen after the draft.

At that time, the mothers said that three or two of the concubines in the palace died of illness or unjust death every year. If they went away quietly in the palace, there would be no one to clean them up.At that time, Jiang Ling thought, after she enters the palace for three or two years and repays the favor, she will use the ability of Linghua mirror to travel through time and space, "die of illness" in the palace for three to five years, and then she will be free.

But now this special identity plate completely shattered her plan.

No matter who made this identity plate, it made her stand out from the crowd.And it is very difficult for a beautiful girl who stands out from the crowd to be an unknown concubine.In addition, the sign passed through the hands of Emperor Kangxi and returned to his own hands. It is said that in the future, he will have to pass the Ming Road in front of the Empress Dowager, and the matter becomes even more complicated.

——God knows, she just wants to survive until her "death of illness".

Jiang Ling sat holding the wooden sign for a while, then with a dark face, he stuffed it under the pillow.In a short time, she didn't want to see this sign again.Regardless of whether it was an ordinary identity card for a show girl or a life-saving amulet, now she just wanted to forget about it and get a good night's sleep.

Just thinking about resting on the bed for a while, suddenly there was another knock on the door outside.

Jiang Ling was patient and asked, "Who is outside?"

A cold voice sounded outside: "Miss Yunling, please come out."

She is a female official who teaches in Zhongcui Palace.Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, secretly laughing at himself for being too suspicious.After tidying up for a while, she got up and opened the door, wanting to ask what's the matter.But after opening the door, it was discovered that besides the female officer, there was also a familiar eunuch outside.

——It's not just familiar, it's too familiar.

It was clearly two years ago, she recognized that middle-aged eunuch with white face and beardless at a glance.

At that time, it was with the help of this eunuch that Jiang Ling completely confirmed the identity of Emperor Kangxi.

But it is impossible for Miss Yunling to have seen this eunuch now, so Jiang Ling put on a puzzled expression and asked, "This is..." But her heart was beating secretly, secretly Don't think that any trouble will come to your door.

The female officer took a step back, and the eunuch came forward, slapped Qian'er, and said with a smile: "This is Miss Yunling, our master wants to invite the girl over to catch up on the past, and also wants to ask the girl. , are things okay at home?"

Jiang Ling recalled for a moment, confirmed that none of the Daotai lord's family had entered the palace as a concubine, and said, "Your master is..."

The eunuch coughed lightly, and casually made up a story: "My master is a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager."

Just as Jiang Ling wanted to decline, saying that he and the Empress Dowager had never lived together, he heard the eunuch say: "Miss, listen to me, my master is familiar with the mistress, and there are some matters that I want to discuss with the mistress. It will hurt the girl. Girl, let me go, the aunt in charge is your witness, and she will never let anything happen to the girl." After speaking, he glanced at the female officer, somewhat urging.

The female officer pursed her lips, and after a long time, said bluntly: "Let him go."

The words have already been said for this sake, so most of them can no longer shirk.Jiang Ling sighed, followed the eunuch through layers of flowers and trees, turned left and right in the path, and came to a row of clean and tidy houses.The eunuch counted the rooms, took Jiang Ling to the second room from the left, and bowed out again.

There was no light in the room, and the hazy moonlight illuminated the room mistyly.

A faint figure stood in the moonlight, leaning on the window lattice, seemed to be in deep thought, saw Jiang Ling coming in, nodded slightly and said: "Come with me for a walk." After saying that, he walked out of the house and walked towards a deeper path go.

The eunuch was just beside him, trying to wink at her.

Jiang Ling simply said one word: "You..." Then he heard the man say indifferently: "I asked him to bring you here. If you have anything to say, just tell me. It's quiet and quiet here. , I will definitely not provoke disputes. When the hour is over, I will let him send you back to the palace, and there will be no delay. I know that you, as a beautiful girl, shouldn't be so unreasonable... Forget it, it's all mine anyway. Fault. If you want to blame, then blame it on me."

Under the hazy moonlight, the man's figure was sparse and faint, as if a little lonely.

Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, and finally followed up, just three or five steps away from that person, wondering what was going on.
