After sleeping together that day, the relationship between the two gradually became familiar.Actually, Yipin didn't sleep well that day.Her figure was too tall, occupying most of the bed, while Yugui was a small one, curled up sideways on the inside.Even so, she didn't dare to turn it casually, because when she turned her head, she could see Yugui was sleeping very soundly, which made her even more reluctant to disturb her clear dream.She just lay there motionless on her back until dawn, when she fell asleep for a while.

After Yugui got acquainted with her, she gradually showed the vivacious disposition of a young girl, and she also talked more, "sister" and "sister" never left her mouth.She likes to play chess, so she took Yipin to play with her, but Yipin was not very good at it.She has a straightforward and impatient personality. She doesn't have that patience, and she doesn't want to play after losing a few times.Yugui dragged her hand and begged: "Sister, sister, let's play another game, can I let you three sons?" Yipin lost her temper and could only sit down and study the chess game patiently.

The days passed.Ever since she became a concubine, Concubine Yi has never been favored again.Probably all men are like this, even if they are obsessed with beauty for a while, it is just a flash in the pan.After the energy is over, he will get tired of it, and naturally there are countless fresh delicacies waiting for him.But happy nobles are not favored in the first place.Therefore, the life in Yonghe Palace is very peaceful, and the two people never fight or fight, and they live their little days in peace, nothing happened.

One day the two were playing chess in the yard again, when a eunuch suddenly came to report: "Bo Shicai, the doctor of the Household Department, begged to see Mrs. Yipin."

About a month ago, the Bai family entered the banner by order and had just settled down in the capital.Concubine Yi was not surprised, it was just her father's routine visit.When she arrived at the hut in the side hall of the city, she saw her father's serious face, and she faintly realized that there was some disturbing atmosphere.

The father first knelt down respectfully and greeted him: "My Lady Yipin." Then he got up, turned his head and said to Yushu, "Let me and my lady have a few personal words alone."

After pushing away Yushu, Bai Shicai faced Yipin and called out her nickname: "Lan'er."

"Father, now the whole family has entered the flag, received land and housing, and the two younger brothers have also entered the House of Internal Affairs to get the special silver. It's really gratifying." She didn't know what her father was going to say, so she decided to preemptively strike.

"Daughter, it's all thanks to you." Bai Shicai didn't look happy. "Thanks to the grace, you are now in the position of concubine, and the momentum is very good, don't let down the good time."

Yipin heard that there was something in his words, so she couldn't help asking directly: "What does father mean by this?"

Then Bai Shicai said bluntly: "You have been in the palace for almost two years, but you still have no heirs. If this continues, it will not be a long-term plan!"

Hearing this, Yipin blushed.She frowned and said, "Father, do you want to die if you say such things here? Talking about the harem is a crime of beheading!"

"It's just the two of us, just a few heartfelt words." Father waved his hand. "You are still young, so you can give it a go. Although Aji and Aqing and I have entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we still only hold small official positions and have no power at all. What's more, even if we enter the Zhenghuang Banner, we will only It’s just a three-flag coat. Whether your father and younger brother can be promoted depends entirely on whether the family can raise the flag, and all this is possible only if you have been promoted to the imperial concubine or even higher.” He held his daughter’s hand : "My daughter, even if it's for your family, you have to work hard."

Yipin pulled out her hand suddenly, her heart was already icy cold.She didn't know how to deal with it, but her father kept on talking.

"Thanks to Lord Haibao—yes, he helped us again. He found the news from the wet nurse of the Chen family in Haining that His Majesty loved the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus since he was a child." He took out a sachet from his arms and stuffed it into Concubine Yi. hands. "As long as you wear this sachet, the Holy Majesty will definitely look at you differently, and the chances of winning the Holy Grace will increase."

Yipin took the sachet.The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus penetrated straight into her nose, but it made her feel sick.

Father gave a few more hasty instructions, and then left, but she couldn't remember what he said.On the way back to the palace, she only thought about that sentence: "Even if it's for your family, you have to work hard."

Yes, for the family.It's not all about family.She has no interest in that superior man.Her past happiness and ideals all disappeared because of this sentence "for the family".

"You go back first, I want to be quiet." After walking into the Yonghe Palace, she stood in the courtyard and said to Yushu.

She really wanted to be quiet, but the memories hit her like a tide, and together with the burden of reality, she couldn't breathe, and she was even unable to maintain a calm and indifferent expression.She frowned and stood quietly in the yard.

"You unfilial daughter!" The father scolded angrily. "You have no shame at all. If this news gets out, how will our family behave?" He picked up a stick and hit his daughter one after another.

She endured it stubbornly, without saying a word or crying out for pain.

"Okay, okay." The aunt Fan persuaded in a low voice. "Fortunately, it's not with a man, and it didn't damage my innocence." Seeing that Bai Shi's anger was still there, and the stick in her hand was still hitting him mercilessly, she rushed forward to dissuade him: "Don't hit me again, just in case Once the scars are left, what should I do if I can't enter the palace?"

That night, her father locked her in the room and did not allow her to eat.The biological mother, Mrs. Zhang, secretly took the medicine and applied it on her bruised body.Regardless of the pain in her body, she grabbed her mother's hand: "Where is Ah Yan? What did they do to Ah Yan?"

"Your father sent her away. I heard that he sent her to the countryside to marry." Mrs. Zhang sighed. "He didn't dare to do anything to her, for fear of being known by others." She chattered on and on: "You are content, she didn't even get a beating." She stroked her daughter's bruise with some distress: "That man , only dare to be so cruel to my own family.”

Ah Yan left.She sat there blankly, as if forgetting the pain in her body.She is going to get married, and she doesn't know which man to marry.Will she be happy?

The Ah Yan who gently called her "sister", the Ah Yan who listened quietly to her telling her aspirations in her heart, the Ah Yan who smiled and took good care of her.

Ah Yan, my Ah Yan.

Yipin just stood motionless in the yard.There was a strong wind, and suddenly there was a heavy rain.But she didn't realize it, and was still immersed in the memories.

"Your Majesty, why don't you avoid it!" Yushu yelled loudly and ran over, holding a cloak in his hand, draped it over Yipin's body, and ran into the house with her in his arms.It was only then that Yipin felt that her body was cool, and she was already soaked through.She followed Yushu into the house in a daze, her head was dazed, she didn't know whether it was because of being drenched in the rain or being overwhelmed by memories.She took a step forward, but her feet softened, and she fell on her back, spinning her head in an instant.Just before she fainted, she heard Yugui's anxious voice: "Sister, what's wrong with you, sister?"

Drowsy, she felt like she was lying on the bed.His head was on fire, and he was too heavy to move.Who is that busy figure next to her? Is it her Ah Yan?

"A Yan, Ah Yan." She couldn't help but muttered.She clutched the corner of the man's clothes in a daze.The man took her hand tenderly.Suddenly, she felt so relieved that she fell into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she only saw the little crying bag lying on the bedside and fell asleep.And her hand was still holding her hand.

Yipin was startled, and subconsciously pulled out her hand.Yugui also woke up, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"Sister, you're finally awake." Seeing Yipin open her eyes, she was very happy, and immediately grabbed her hand again.

"I……"

"Sister, you got a fever after being exposed to heavy rain. The imperial doctor came and prescribed a few medicines, but your high fever persisted and you were unconscious, so I couldn't feed you to drink it. You just woke up, so take the medicine quickly. "

Yipin rested on Yugui's shoulder, allowing her to hold the medicine bowl, and carefully fed her to drink the medicine.

For a moment, she felt something familiar.In her heart, something that had been lost for a long time came back.

"By the way, sister, I haven't asked you yet." Yugui asked relaxedly, "How do you know my nickname?"

"What nickname?" Yipin didn't know why.

"It's Ah Yan." Fangcao, who was busy at the side, took the conversation. "'Turn the wind to adapt to the chaos, and turn the water into Yan.' My master's small characters are 'Yan'."

Yugui smiled a little embarrassedly.

It turned out to be Ah Yan.It's Ah Yan, not Ah Yan.

But Yipin still smiled softly.Her body was still in pain, and it was unknown whether it was due to unhealed fever or the echo of memory.

She held Yugui's hand and said softly: "Sister, I will call you Ayan from now on, okay?"
