At this point, nothing she said was of any use. The path in front of her was not arranged by Jiang Shuhua, but what happened next was still controlled by Jiang Shuhua.
Mingyue knows that from now on, not a single day of her life will be hers.
In the past, when she saw those people around her who were also palace maids, being punished for making mistakes, or not being liked by their masters, and suffering everywhere, she felt that this was the most pitiable part of living in the deep palace.
But it wasn't until this moment that she suddenly realized.
The most pitiable thing is that she is like this now, without any life of her own or any thoughts of her own.
She can only live the next day according to other people's requirements.
After leaving Jiang Shuhua's room, the palace maids and eunuchs who had previously called her Sister Mingyue looked at her with curiosity and inquiry under the eaves.
She probably didn't know how they viewed her, and Mingyue didn't want to think about it, but those whispers penetrated into her mind so pervasively that she had to face it.
Yes.
In the eyes of everyone, she can only be a person who tries to climb up at all costs.
When she walked to the door of the small courtyard, two maids timidly came over and saluted her, "Lu Baolin, the servants are assigned to serve you. Your residence has been decided, but it is still being tidied up right now."
, Paulin, is there anything you want to pack and take over? Just tell the two slaves."
Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at the two girls in front of her. They were both still very young, and there was even a trace of childishness on their faces. They were so similar to her former self.
But their respectful tone and look were so strange.
This was something she had never encountered before.
"There's nothing to clean up," she heard her own voice, and she spoke in a tone that sounded like a master without any guidance. "There's a box under the bed, just take it over."
One of the two maids immediately went away obediently, while the other waited on her to go to her new residence.
Jiang Liangdi was also born in Baolin when she entered the palace.
Although no one in the palace dares to spread rumors about that disgraceful incident at the beginning, it does not mean that no one knows about it.
In fact, it should be said that everyone knows it, but no one is stupid enough to tell it.
Lu Baolin......
Mingyue felt that the tip of her tongue was a little astringent and bitter, and she didn't know how her parents would react when they hear this title next month.
Will they be happy that they have gained such a position in the East Palace?
Or should I say...
Do you feel sad that you will never be able to leave the palace for the rest of your life?
Mingyue was distraught, feeling bitter and unspeakable in her heart, and finally couldn't help crying.
But her bedroom had not been tidied up yet, so she could only sit in the living room that had just been tidied up.
Baolin's status was not high, and there were only two or three eunuchs and two maids serving him in the whole courtyard.
The two maids said that she came from Jiang Shuhua, and Jiang Shuhua felt sorry for her, so she sent an extra maid.
At this time, she was crying like this, which inevitably caused other people to look at her secretly.
"Yo!" Suddenly a smiling female voice sounded at the door, and a woman wearing a light purple palace dress came, "Isn't this Sister Lu who was just named? You are so lucky, why are you crying now?
Up?
Is it possible that because you have favored His Highness, we Jiang Liangdi actually blame you?"
As she said that, she raised her eyes and looked at the place where Mingyue lived at this time, and said "tsk tsk": "I have to say that Jiang Liangdi is really stingy. You have served her for so long, and you have done your best. All of us are.
Seeing it in her eyes, now that you have a good future, as the old owner, she should only be happy for you. Why is she treating you like this?
This courtyard is the smallest one in our East Palace, right? Alas! Don’t be sad, since His Highness likes you, you will eventually be able to move up."
Mingyue knows this man, and has met him several times on the road. He is not a good person, and his family status is not high, but he is very mean.
However, there is an uncle in the family who is a royal censor, and she is just a bad-mouthed person. She has been in the East Palace for many years, but she doesn't have much love.
Mingyue gathered her emotions and then said calmly: "Sister, I misunderstood. I'm crying not because Jiang Liangdi treated me badly. Liangdi has been very busy during this period, and she took the time to take care of my affairs today. I
I am already very grateful.
As for the residence, others don’t know, but I know it very well. Nowadays, there are many sisters in the East Palace, and the place is only so big. The other places are either in disrepair and no longer suitable for people to live in, or they are taboo."
She had completely stopped crying just now. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief generously, and then said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with this room at the moment. I don't have any other requirements."
The woman looked at her doubtfully, obviously not believing it, or rather not wanting to believe it.
"Sister Lu has been following Jiang Liangdi for so long, so it is understandable that she is calm and cautious, but in front of me! You don't have to be so nervous. I have always been a very simple person.
You also know that His Highness doesn’t come to the backyard very often now. Even if he comes, he rarely goes to our sisters’ house. I am just bored. Seeing that you are the closest to me after moving in, I come to talk to you.
.
If you say no, then it’s not! How can I force you to admit it? But then again, if you’re not crying because of this, then why are you crying?
If you have any difficulties, you can talk to me, maybe I can provide you with some help, after all, I have been in the East Palace a little longer than you."
The smile on Mingyue's face slowly faded, and she said lightly: "Thank you very much, sister. I'm just a little homesick. Now that I have become everyone's sister, it is impossible to go home again. But as sister
As I said, since it is my blessing to be granted the title of Baolin, from now on, Sister Jiang and I are the same people, and we should support each other."
When Jiang Baolin heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.
She is already twenty-five years old and has been in the palace for eight years. Basically, she was elected to the East Palace in the second year after the princess married.
But by now, the prince has probably forgotten what she looks like.
To say who she despises the most in this palace, there is no one other than Jiang Shuhua.
The most irritating thing is that Jiang Shuhua entered the East Palace in such a dishonorable way, and now she walks sideways in the East Palace. How can she endure this?
But what can I do if I can’t bear it?
A man is a man who knows the current affairs. Jiang Shuhua now holds the power of internal affairs in the East Palace, and she can only swallow the disgust in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuhua had a mole in front of her.
I originally thought that Lu Mingyue's matter would hit Jiang Shuhua hard, so I thought to see if I could pry it off. Seeing that His Highness was about to ascend the throne, if there was no movement at this time, I'm afraid he would just be nothing more than an idiot by then.
Little talent.
Then for the rest of his life, he would really be trapped in this palace in darkness.
Who would have thought that this Mingyue, who looked so indifferent, would even think about protecting Jiang Shuhua even though she was at this point.
Maintain it!
Just look at when she was attacked by Jiang Shuhua. With Jiang Shuhua's temperament, how could she spare such a rebel?
There are many people who think like her in the East Palace, so in just half a day, Lu Mingyue's courtyard was greeted by several groups of guests.
She was a little tired of coping, but she always stuck to her words and didn't give anyone else any excuse.
