17. Chapter 17 Purple Night Stars
Ye Wange spoke with deep affection. Xiao Zhi's tears fell from his eyes as he listened. He knelt on the ground in silence. Ye Wange looked at him and said, "You go down first! When I find a chance, I will take care of things with the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Say something."
"Empress!" Xiao Zhi choked and shouted.
Ye Wange turned his back to her and waved for him to step back. Xiao Zhi looked at his master who had his back turned and asked him to step back. He didn't dare not to obey, so he had to stand up and bowed back. He took a few steps back.
Then he turned around, covered his face with his sleeves, opened the door and ran out.
"Little Ruler!" Xiaodie, who was standing outside guarding the door, saw Little Ruler crying and ran out and shouted.
Little Ruler ran away as if he hadn't heard Xiaodie calling him. He ran into the small bamboo forest behind the yard, held on to a thick bamboo branch and cried.
His last master died of depression because he was not favored. When he first came to Wanxin Hall and saw this master, he was determined to protect this master and would never let this master take up another position again.
The tragic experience of the master is that it is so easy to protect the master in this deep palace. If the master accidentally fails to protect him, he will lose his life.
It would be fine if he could protect his master if he lost his life. He was afraid that if he lost his life and failed to protect his master, he would be harmed. He had heard about the dispute between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the third prince, but the dispute was so deep.
He couldn't mention the most taboo things in the palace compound.
He was not afraid that he would lose his life if he told his master, but he was afraid that his master would make a fuss about it if he knew about it. The most important thing in the harem dispute was not who was right or wrong, but his strength. Her master's strength was stronger than that of the Crown Princess and Concubine Hui.
The disparity is too big, and she is afraid that her master will steal the chicken and lose the rice, and he will get involved himself.
Xiao Zi was wiping his tears in the bamboo forest. The way he was wiping away his tears was seen by Xiao Zi who was passing by. Xiao Zi, who was injured and resting, was wandering around the backyard without anything else. She heard sobbing in the bamboo forest and came looking for the sound.
I saw Xiao Zhi, the eunuch in the palace, crying.
"Xiao Zhizi, why are you crying here?" Xiao Zi stepped forward, looking cold and asking for help.
Xiao Zhi, who was crying secretly, heard a clear female voice and immediately wiped away the tears with his sleeve. He raised his head and saw Xiao Zi and replied, "Which of your eyes saw me crying?"
Xiao Zi snorted at Xiao Zi, and Xiao Zi tilted her head and looked at him and said, "There are still undried tears in your eyes." As he said that, he stretched out a finger with the tears from the corner of his eyes and put it in front of him,
"Look, are these your tears?"
Xiao Zhi glanced at her and shouted at her, "I want you to take care of it."
Xiao Zi glanced at him and raised her voice and said, "Hey, our little ruler father-in-law has a really bad temper."
"Are you a small-sized father-in-law?" he sneered. Xiao Zhi didn't hear clearly and misunderstood Xiao Zi's "small ruler" as "small size."
"Hey, father-in-law, you misunderstood me, I was talking about the small ruler." Xiao Zi explained with a smile.
"Call me Eunuch Wang, my name is Wang Xiaochi." Xiaochizi raised his eyebrows and said.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Xiao Zi said continuously, "I dare you to ask Eunuch Wang why he is sad and crying here? Is it because of the master's anger?" The little purple cat bent her waist and had a pair of bright black eyes.
asked.
Xiao Zhizi grunted and looked away. Seeing this awkward look, Xiao Zi felt relieved. She knew she had guessed that the person in front of her was angry with her master.
"Hey, little ruler, why are you doing this? How can any of us slaves not look at our master's eyes? If our master scolds us and beats us, then that is our fate as slaves..." Xiao Zi said one sentence after another.
The suffering of slaves.
Just when Xiao Zi thought that Xiao Zhi, who was also a slave, would share the same hatred with him, what Xiao Zhi said almost killed her, "Why are you telling me about the hardships of being a slave? I'm not your master, and I don't know how to
I pity you because of your beauty, so if you have the ability, you can try to seduce those powerful masters to pity you."
Xiao Zi looked at Xiao Zhi who did not accept her kindness and mocked her. A cold smile flashed at the corner of her mouth, but with a smile on her face she said, "Okay, okay. I know you are in a bad mood, sister, I am also
I'll just use it as a punching bag for you to relieve your anger. If you have any displeasure, just point it at my sister."
Xiao Zhizi glanced at Xiao Zi after hearing this. As a slave, the words he just said were not all mocking Xiao Zi. Half of them were angry and unbridled rants, and the other half were sincere consolation.
There are very few opportunities for people to get ahead, but the opportunities for slaves like these to get ahead are great. The people who serve in this deep palace compound are all palace nobles. Maybe one day these nobles will take their fancy and take them as concubines and fly to the branches.
Become a phoenix.
"Xiao Zi, I'm not mocking you. What I said is true. What's the point of being a slave? If you want to change this slave's life, you must climb up to these powerful people. Even their concubines are better than the slaves." Xiao Zhizi.
He looked at Xiao Zi and said.
After hearing Xiao Zi's attitude, Xiao Zi turned to her and said immediately, "I'm just a slave, and a slave from outside. I can't find any way out in this deep palace. How can any king or noble take a fancy to me?"
After hearing this, Xiao Zhizi's eyes darkened, and he suddenly said as if he had remembered something, "Don't worry, wait until one day our Concubine Wan is favored, and let her marry you to a good family."
When Xiao Zi heard that Xiao Zhi mentioned Ye Wange, a sinister light flashed in the corner of her eyes, and she cursed countless times in her heart, "Oh, I am just a slave in front of the empress. How can the empress, who is not close to us or even acquainted with us, treat us slaves like this?"
Happiness is at heart."
Xiao Zhizi shook his head in disapproval after hearing this, "Your Majesty is very affectionate, and you came here with her from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Your Majesty will not ignore you. When it comes to me, Your Majesty doesn't want me anymore."
"What? Your Majesty doesn't want you anymore?" Xiao Zi asked in shock.
Xiao Zhizi said with a resentful look, "Yes! The queen said that when she gets the chance, she will tell the manager to let me serve other masters."
"Have you done something wrong to offend Concubine Wan?" Xiao Zi asked, stretching her neck.
"Alas." Xiaozhi sighed softly, turned around and said, "That's right!"
Listening to his aggrieved tone, Xiao Zi felt that something was fishy and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Tell me if you have any grievances. It will make you feel better if you tell me."
Little Ruler opened and closed his mouth, raised his face and said, "Master, if you want to lose your temper, do you need a reason?"
Xiao Zi thought for a while and said, "That's right. When the master is happy, he will reward us with three melons and two dates. If the master is angry, he will yell at us."
The little ruler lowered his head and reached out to grab the buds sprouting from the green bamboo pole. The force of his hand seemed to be to vent all the resentment and anger in his heart on these buds.
"Xiao Zhi, don't be angry. When I fly to a branch and become a phoenix one day, I will never let you suffer such injustice again." Xiao Zi stretched out her hand and tugged on Xiao Zhi's sleeve and said, full of confidence and vows.
It looked as if she was really going to fly up the branch and become a phoenix.
Xiao Zhizi looked at her and sighed, "Forget it, why are you talking about these useless things? When you fly to the branches one day and become a concubine, you will have forgotten us slaves."
"No, I will never be a mean person who doesn't value friendship. If there ever comes a day, I will definitely find you a manager in the Internal Affairs Bureau." Xiao Zi wants to win people's hearts, but she doesn't care whether her promise can be fulfilled or not.
, he opened his mouth and promised.
Xiao Zhizi was stunned by her coaxing him, and he was so disoriented that he was a little disoriented. He stood there holding a bamboo pole in one hand and chatting with Xiao Zihu Chuihai.
The two of them were chatting there for a while. Xiao Zhizi looked at the clock and said he wanted to go back. Xiao Zi suddenly said, "Xiao Zhi, I see that you have been serving the few broken flowers in front of the Queen Mother's house all day, so you can't let them go."
Can the person in charge of the Internal Affairs Office send some rare varieties to add some splendor to the yard?" Xiao Zi led the conversation to her intention.
"Oh, don't mention it." When Xiao Zi mentioned the servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xiao Zhi immediately became sad and said with a look of resentment, "Those people who act according to the circumstances, they all take advantage of whoever is in power.
Who should give the good food and clothing to, how can it be our share?"
"Forget it, forget it, don't go with those blind slaves. I just went out for a walk, and I found a very beautiful flower growing beside the pond on the palace wall. If you want to add glory to the yard,
It would be better to move that flower here to add more color.
Xiao Zhi listened to Xiao Zi's description of the flower as being like a flower in the sky. He was moved and decided to go with Xiao Zi to move the sacred flower.
Xiao Zhizi was particularly satisfied when he saw the magic flower in Xiao Zi's mouth, so he reached out to dig up the flower and found a beautiful flower pot to cut it up.
He carried the sacred flower called Purple Night Star in the flowerpot as if it were a treasure and entered Ye Wange's house. Ye Wange saw that the servant who was heartbroken by him and ran out crying now came back with a smile as bright as a star.
, I felt a little guilty, feeling that the words I just said were too strong and might hurt the sincerity of the slave in front of me.
"Your Majesty, I noticed that your house is very dull and cold, so I got you some potted flowers and plants to decorate it with." He said with difficulty while carrying the fairy flower.
Seeing his sincere look, Ye Wange couldn't bear to break his heart. She glanced at the green flower branches and said, "You can find a suitable place to put it down!"
"Yes, empress." Seeing that Ye Wange did not refuse his kindness, Xiao Zhizi immediately found a place in the house with great joy and put down the heavenly flower in his hand.
When Xiaodie came in and saw the smile on Little Ruler's face, she immediately teased him, "Hey, Little Ruler, your face in June changes really fast?"
"Hmph!" Little Ruler snorted from his nose and glared at Xiaodie fiercely. Wasn't it just a joke that he shed tears just now?
Xiao Die said that Xiao Zhi's face was like the one in June, and it would be cloudy and sunny, which made Xiao Zhi look at him with a fierce look. Xiao Die looked at him and snorted at him, "You are so old, and you still cry, how shameful!"
Shame! Shame!" Xiaodie said sarcastically to the little ruler.
"You?" Xiao Chizi pointed at Xiaodie angrily, and Xiaodie stared at him with bulging black eyes. Seeing her fierce look, he dropped his hand pointing at her and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, a yellow-haired girl."
