Chapter 001 Pear Blossom(1/2)

The pear blossoms in the yard are in bloom.

Between the green branches and leaves, the trees are covered with snow.

The weather was still cold. It rained two o'clock last night. When I woke up in the morning, there were spots of white falling on the wet bluestone steps, and the fragrance was cold and cold, which made the east wind evenly.

"Yiya", the gate of the Zhuqi courtyard was gently pushed open from the outside. Two small palace men with flat buns worked together to carry a wooden barrel containing water and quietly walked into the courtyard.

Both of them looked average, only twelve years old, and looked three years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. They were both dressed in stone blue shirts and gray and green cloth skirts. They were the last color of the palace's clothing in the palace.

Putting the wooden barrel gently by the door, the white-skinned little guru turned around and closed the door. Another one with light eyebrows and thin eyes placed his hands on his lips to warm up, and a low voice rolled in his throat, "It's so cold."

"You two, hurry up." A light shout came, and an older palace maid turned around in the veranda of the chasing hand. She wore a crimson shirt and a black skirt on the bottom. Her long face looked a little cold and harsh.

The two little palace men hurriedly squatted down and saluted respectfully: "Hello Aunt Luo."

"It's great." Luo Xicui waved impatiently, handed over a bamboo box, and ordered: "Hong Liu will clean the railings and columns, red clothes will wipe the floor, and do the work early. If you are late, it's time for your master to get up."

While talking, she took a bamboo broom herself and walked into the courtyard, tightened and slowly pulled it up.

Seeing this, Hongliu and the others did not dare to slack off. They hurriedly picked up the fine white linen in the bamboo box and began to sweep them in the morning with neat hands and feet.

Gu Hongyao shrank under the window, and only poked his eyes out of the window sash carved into the diamond lattice. His fingers were tightly clenched into the cracks of the bricks, and his joints were all white, but he still didn't realize it.

This is not a dream.

She is back.

Back to the beginning of spring when she was twelve years old.

The faint morning light passed through the plain green window screen and projected into her eyes, bright and dazzling. She subconsciously closed her eyes, and her heart was in a daze.

The feeling of floating, light, and hanging from the air on both feet was like a transparent wave of water, wrapping around her, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, as if it were real or illusion. Even if you were in it, it was still like a dream.

Who would have thought that the moment before, she was sitting on her own rosewood ring chair with a cup of tea in her left hand and a book in her right hand. She crawled with a fat cat ball on her knees. Her warm and chubby body just protected her knees injured by the cold. Each person and a cat were so comfortable to bask in the sun, read books, and take a nap. It was so comfortable.

It was just a flash of energy. Her eyes turned dark and brighter, and she actually returned to the thirteenth year of Jianzhao.

This year, she will end her errand work in the inner weaving and dyeing bureau and was assigned to Lengxiang Pavilion as a mail-maid. The place where she is at this time is the ear room on the side of Lengxiang Pavilion.

That is the residence of the last-class palace ladies.

At first, Gu Hongyao always felt that he was dreaming.

Living for a lifetime and returning to a child is truly unprecedented. No matter who it is, in this situation, you will always have to be suspicious, afraid, and stay alone again.

Nowadays, this is how the dozens of nail marks on the root of Gu Hongyao’s thighs come from.

However, even though she pinched her nails and almost slashed her, she couldn't wake herself up, but instead fell deeper and deeper. No matter how painful she grinned and died, she never woke up in this dream. When she opened her eyes, the face in the mirror was still a green boy.

So she finally understood that everything in front of her was indeed real.

She is really reborn.

From an old lady over 70 years old to a beautiful and beautiful girl with delicate skin that looks like a peeled egg, she has become almost sixty years younger.

It was predicted that this matter was true or not, but Gu Hongyao was happy for a moment, worried for a moment, but confused for a moment.

The 70-year-old old lady has a strong body, no matter how strong her hair, and her arms and legs are, how can she be as good as a young girl?

Not to mention anything else, just looking at this face and looking in the mirror, isn’t it pleasing to the eye?

Besides, she had avoided the most difficult two years when she first entered the palace.

As long as she thought about not having to live the more than two years of being hungry, cold, beaten and scolded, she felt particularly comfortable.

And later, she still has sixteen years to walk. Although that road is still extremely difficult, it is still better than the first two years.

However, if you say how happy Gu Hongyao is, it is not entirely true.

Although it was good to be reborn, she still entered this place where people eat and don’t vomit bones. If she wanted to go out, she would have to endure it.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinran also dissipated with the wind.

Gu Hongyao sighed, shrank his body into a ball, and used his hands and feet to climb like a turtle, moving back to the edge of the north wall little by little, turning over and lying down with his clothes, his eyebrows tightly locked, and his face was full of sorrow.

It is said that the deep palace is like a sea, but the harem of the Great Qi Dynasty is deeper and more dangerous than the treacherous sea.

In her previous life, she entered the palace at the age of ten. She had been working hard for nearly ten years. She had already had silver frost before she was 28. When she left the palace at the age of twenty-eight, her hair was more than half white. Although she was well-fed after she was raising her food and drink, she suffered too much loss when she was young, and the white hair was never recovered. The name "Old Mrs. Gu" has followed her for almost forty years.

Fortunately, she finally walked out of the imperial city herself.

It was because the new emperor ascended the throne and was extremely kind, and he released a group of palace maids of age, so that Hong Yao was able to leave.

According to the usual rules of the Great Qi Dynasty, people were usually released for five or seven years. If the palace maids were less than twenty-six years old at that time, they would have to wait for the next batch.

In addition, the female officials of the six bureaus and one department, or the manager who is of the same grade as the master, will be extended to thirty years old when leaving the palace, and will give you a lot of money when you leave. If there is someone who is unwilling to leave, you can stay there once you ask the master, and you will definitely be able to eat in the palace.

So some people simply stopped leaving.

At the age of time, it is not easy to marry. If you go back to your hometown, your relatives and relatives will die sooner. It is precisely because "children don't know each other". It is better to stay in this palace, and you can still get some wealth, old age, sickness and death, and have a place to go.

Hong Yao was a coincidence in her previous life. She left the palace at the age of 28 and had all her limbs. She was neither crazy nor stupid, and she left Yujing City in a good manner.

This is a lucky blessing.

You know, their group of "Red" generations, which were not less than a hundred, were even unable to gather the loess until they ended up being the wild ghost and lonely soul. They could count the living ones.

Looking up at the ash gauze tent above his head, a trace of vicissitudes of age appeared on Gu Hongyao's tender face.

How good would it be if you could be reborn before entering the palace?

How many roads can’t be done? How many things can’t be done?

Unfortunately, it's too late.

With a low sigh, she turned over, her heart sank as if a huge rock was pressed into her.

I have to last another sixteen years!

As soon as this thought came, Gu Hongyao felt bitter in his mouth, as if he had swallowed a yellow lotus.

But no matter how bitter she is, she has to swallow it.

Everyone is in the palace, she can't live without it and cannot take it off. Unless she slapped her neck and hanged her, she will die.

But how could she bear it?

Just for the 42 years of Qingfu after leaving the palace, she must also go to the end step by step in this deep palace.

She grabbed the head of the quilt with her hands and squeezed it tightly.

She must be very careful about this little life, so she must not make any mistakes.

Even if others regard her as grass, she herself feels that no matter how many treasures in this world are, she can't stand the breath in her mouth.

How great it is to be alive, but if you die, you will lose everything?

She had to save her life and leave the palace. She went to the Lingnan town early, bought land, built a house and opened a store, and met Liu Crouchi early, bought the cook Jin Lady, and bought the bean cured fish, pepper and chicken, garlic and shrimp, sweet and sour tenderloin, salted egg yolk crumbs, crystal sesame glutinous rice and lotus root, etc., even if you eat enough.

Gu Hongyao couldn't help swallowing a big saliva, and the good scene of the food full of the table seemed to appear in front of him, and he couldn't help but yearn for it very much.

Another thing is that Liu Crooked's endless book to buy, she would have to read it one by one without leaving any omissions.

It is said that those scripts have been popular in Yujing City for many years, but unfortunately, she immediately left Yujing City as soon as she left the palace and never walked around the city. Later, she always thought about it, and regretted it.

Gu Hongyao's brows jumped, wishing he could have gone through sixteen years in one step and went to that good situation early.

At that moment, she only thought of one sentence in her heart - live well.

Live well until the day you leave the palace.

As for how to live after rebirth, she has already made a conclusion.

With his eyes curled, Gu Hongyao's expression on his face was quite comfortable.

She had already made up her mind and walked again according to the old path of her previous life.

As for changing one's destiny against the will of heaven...

Let it go.

She shook her head secretly.

First of all, where can she change her old bone?

Besides, she was not very smart in her previous life and she really didn't have that brain.

And... well, it's mainly because I'm not crazy.

Gu Hongyao is very self-aware.

The road in the previous life was indeed a bit harder, but it was better to save worry and effort, and it was not too much brain-making. You just had to be honest and be plotted against by others. In the end, you could avoid those dangers and live to the end without any harm.

Living is her only requirement, and she dare not expect too much.

Just because she knew that in this Daqi harem, as the cheapest palace maid, she had no money or power, and had no support, so she had no chance to emerge.

Not to mention the master, it is just a female official in the six bureaus and departments. You can step on you to death with your hand and crush it several times. There is nothing wrong after that.

What's more, in the next sixteen years, the Daqi Dynasty experienced three dynasties, and the harem also experienced countless great turmoils. It was really "watching him build a tall building, but watching his building collapse." After a while, the beauties who were most favored by the six palaces were either buried with him, sacrificed themselves, or were given death, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him also lost their lives.

This is pretty good. I have enjoyed a few days of blessings and a few good days.

There are even those concubines who are not favored, or who are favored by others and are thrown aside, and they are inexplicably affected by something. White silk and poisonous wine are already considered decent, and the most feared thing is to be thrown into the inner hall.
To be continued...
