"I want to go and see her." Zhang agreed and murmured, obviously she was agreeing seriously, but seeing that the palace maid was a little older, she lost the confidence to speak, so she repeated again in a low voice, "Where is here?
"
"My name is Ling Lan. She worked in Cining Palace in her early years. She came here to take care of an old lady who came to Taizong more than ten years ago. She has been staying here to take care of the palace since her death. It is next to Ningshou Palace and is considered a palace.
The northernmost place here is a bit out of the way, but it’s very quiet.”
Linglan was very gentle, as if she had lived in a corner of the palace for more than ten years and was not involved in any disputes. She was quiet and peaceful. She quickly waited for Zhang to put on her clothes and shoes, and helped her to Xiaoyu's house, smiling.
Said: "There are two rooms in the main hall and two small rooms on the side. They are simple and cannot compare with the splendor of the East and West Palaces. They are better than being in a single courtyard. You can live a small life by yourself behind closed doors. It is very comfortable."
."
"Isn't it Leng Palace?" Zhang promised to stop and look at the courtyard. It was incomparable to Yikun Palace and Jingyang Palace. The courtyard was a square inch in size and the beams and pillars were a bit old. It really seemed like a remote place where no one had ever been.
The place was very clean. Where the lantern light shined, the window sills and door frames were spotless, and there were no spider knots under the eaves. Neat and neat flowers and plants could be seen outside. Suzuran helped her to the small room on the side and said with a smile, "
It’s not a cold palace, but it’s deserted. It must be very lonely if I promise to live here in the future.”
"Don't you know why I came?" Zhang promised to see all the ugly people in the palace, and the maids who abused her in Yingtai were all of the same age. Most of them couldn't get along well in the palace, and couldn't find anyone to make the decision.
When people let them go, they gradually became twisted and perverted, taking pleasure in torturing the little palace maids.
Although she agreed now, a down-and-out palace concubine who was beaten in public by the imperial concubine and abandoned in an unmanned palace had no pride or dignity at all in front of the palace maid. However, Suzuran was very polite and respectful to her, which made her
She felt warm and uneasy in her heart.
Linglan smiled and said: "You will see Xiaoyu later and ask her why she made you cry. You will understand."
Zhang promised to be dubious, and under the leadership of Linglan, he entered a small, cramped room. It looked like a place where objects were stored. Although there was a window, there was no bed. A kang was built under the window, except for the old
There is nothing else outside the small cabinet. But although the place is small and old, it is very clean and refreshing. The windows are half open, and the breeze comes in slowly. In the sultry early summer, the room is not too irritating.
"Master, you're awake." Xiao Yu whimpered and said with sobs, "Aunt Huanchun lied. She said she wouldn't really beat her, but the slave was almost beaten to death."
Zhang promised not to understand what she was saying, so he sat aside and asked carefully, only to find out that what happened today was all planned by Concubine De and the Imperial Concubine, ever since she was hurriedly served by Xiao Yu in Yikun Palace.
, they have no other purpose, just to get themselves out of Yikun Palace.
Xiaoyu deliberately took her time dressing up for her today, waiting for Concubine Yi to become anxious before letting her master go out in embarrassment. When they arrived at Chengqian Palace, they found that the rouge on her face was not evenly spread, so Xiaoyu took her master outside the door.
The rouge she applied was no longer serious rouge. The powder was not filled with rose juice, but was filled with green onion juice. In the past few times, she had only used her hands to spread the original rouge on Zhang Yaosheng's face, fearing that she would be premature.
I found that I only waited for the news in the main hall that the Imperial Concubine was arriving, and then I hurriedly smeared the onion juice around the master's eyes. When he entered the door and couldn't move any more, he watched Zhang Wenxing being so hot that he burst into tears, and Xiaoyu's hands
It was stained with those things, and even if I put it on my face, I would start to cry.
"Girl said, the empress does not want you to suffer in Yikun Palace anymore, but the empress knows that you will definitely not want to leave, so I can't tell you this matter. Anyway, the servant is wholeheartedly trying to get you to leave the Yifei Empress. If you go down, we will
I'm going to be tortured to death by her." Xiao Yu said, letting out an ouch and whimpering, "Auntie clearly said that the eunuchs in Chengqian Palace would not really beat me, but they beat me with deadly force, and the slave was almost beaten to death."
But Zhang Yaosheng immediately slapped her twice hard on the buttocks. Xiaoyu screamed and curled up. Linglan quickly stopped her and said with a smile: "Zhang Yaosheng can't hit her again, her butt is swollen like a hill."
Xiaoyu cried and said, "Aunt Huanchun asked me to do it. What does the master blame me for?"
Zhang promised to have tears in his eyes and choked with sobs: "From now on, I will be safe here. Who will help the empress anymore and who will watch over them? The little princess is still in Yikun Palace, and we are not here. What will she do?"
The master and servant actually burst into tears. Linglan tried to persuade her for a long time. She was afraid that the small room here would be too hot and stuffy, so she supported Zhang and agreed to come out, telling her that she had received the instruction from Concubine De, who had come here to see it in person, and knew that it was okay to live here.
Okay, so he left the person to her with peace of mind and asked her to take good care of Zhang and promised.
The position that was originally agreed to by the regulations did not qualify her to use a senior palace maid like Suzuran, but Suzuran's responsibility was to take care of this palace. Now that she thinks about it, she is just taking care of it. Suzuran smiles even more.
Said: "Empress De Fei has promised a slave, a slave, and a lot of money. I will run errands for the empress. Can you live here with peace of mind?"
Zhang agreed and nodded with tears in his eyes, but as a mother, she still couldn't let go and said, "My daughter is still in Yikun Palace."
Linglan twisted a handkerchief and wiped her face, and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, I also sent Huan Chun to talk to the servant about this matter. I want you to rest assured. I expect that my Lady Yifei will not dare to abuse the princess. The princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf. This matter
If you can trust the Concubine De, please give it to the Concubine."
Zhang promised to raise her head and take a closer look at the house. It was much smaller than the place where she lived in Yikun Palace, but it had a lot of things that it should have. I heard that Empress De Fei came here to see it in person, and she felt sad for a moment.
From this, Linglan didn't understand why she was so sad, so she patiently comforted her for a long time, and then saw that she was calm, and then washed her, and finally spent the night together.
The next day, while Zhang Yao was still asleep, Suzulan pushed her awake and asked her to sleep on her stomach so that she could pretend to be hurt. Just when she was ready, she heard Taohong's voice outside asking if anyone was there. Suzuran hurriedly went out to greet her.
After a few polite words on both sides, Taohong came in and blessed herself in front of the bed and said: "The master sent the slave to see you, saying that you are a member of the Yikun Palace and the little princess's mother-in-law, so I can't really ignore you anymore.
, I packed and delivered some of the things you use on a daily basis. Last night, Long Live Lord came to Yikun Palace to appease the Queen, saying that you were young and ignorant, and that you would be fine in the future. The Queen wanted you to live in peace and live well.
After making the Imperial Concubine happy for a while, I will take you back."
Zhang promised to be silent. She didn't know what to say, but she heard that the emperor went to Yikun Palace. The emperor had always liked Princess Wen Ke. Every time he came, he would hug her and tease her for a long time. Invisibly, she was giving her a gift.
After Concubine Yi pressured her not to abuse the little princess, Zhang agreed and felt a little relieved.
Taohong said a few more words, and when she exited, she smiled and said to Linglan: "Where is that girl Xiaoyu? She has been following me in Yikun Palace for a while. She was beaten badly yesterday. I brought some plasters, okay?
Give it to her."
Linglan pointed the way politely, and said she didn't want to accompany her because she had other things to do. Taohong was so happy that she asked the accompanying little eunuch to wait outside the door, and came in alone to take a look. Just then she saw Zhang promised to lie down and seemed to be dying, but
After all, I couldn't take a closer look. When I saw Xiaoyu lying on her stomach and talking in her mouth, she lifted the quilt with her hands. She lifted up her middle coat and took a look. The two halves of the little girl's buttocks were horribly swollen. There were gauze in several places.
She could faintly see the blood coming out, and there was an unpleasant ointment smell. Taohong's heart was beating fast, and she quickly covered it.
"You, please stay here and serve me well. I will take you back after a while." Taohong said the same thing, but did what Concubine Yi had told her to do.
After sending the emperor to court in the morning, Concubine Yi was suspicious for some reason and asked Taohong to come and see for herself. Taohong also felt strange at first. After all, it was inexplicable that the master and servant were crying like that yesterday. Now that she saw Xiaoyu being beaten so badly, she also felt
I believe it.
When Taohong returned to Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi asked one by one why they were crying. Taohong responded: "Xiaoyu said that when she put rouge on Zhang Yaosheng, she got the rouge into Zhang Yaosheng's eyes. Zhang Yaosheng
The tears were not crying, but her eyes hurt, and she was scolded by Zhang for a few words of grievance. Originally she just sniffed, but when she was frightened by the ladies, she cried like crazy."
"It's inexplicable." Concubine Yi still found it strange, but it seemed to make sense. Moreover, Zhang Jia was thrown into a place like that, and it looked like she was going to die alone. Maybe she would get him back in the future, according to the emperor's tone last night.
It seemed very regretful, but if she couldn't get it, she would have no choice but to try to find someone new.
Taohong lamented: "Xiaoyu was beaten to half a disability, the imperial concubine was so cruel." But she didn't know that Xiaoyu's injuries were swollen, and the blood stains on the gauze were all faked by Linglan. Huanchun had told her,
I was afraid that those few people would be suspicious, especially Concubine Hui, who was the shrewdest. I think the visitor would not dare to move Zhang to agree, but it was not difficult to see Xiaoyu, so when the imperial concubine confessed to the eunuch who beat people in Qian Palace, Zhang agreed to faint.
That's fine, and Xiaoyu was treated as it is.
Xiao Yu only found out later that she had been deceived by Huan Chun. When Huan Chun told Lan Qi, she laughed from ear to ear: "Ling Lan said she faked crying every day, refused to get up and pretended to be sick, and even Zhang agreed to despise her.
Already."
Lan Qi was very happy after hearing this, and sighed: "It's clean there, they can do it no matter what, but poor Xiaoyu really got beaten up, I'm afraid I won't believe you next time. Find an opportunity to get more delicious food for her,
The weather is getting hot, and we can’t finish the fruits in the palace, so we are trying to send them over.”
Huan Chun advised: "I don't dare to be so attentive right now. At least wait a moment. Don't worry, I won't be short of food after a few bites. I promised you."
Lan Qi was not dissatisfied. After solving Xing'er's matter, she just felt relaxed all over. Concubine Hui or Concubine Yi would take every step in the future to put Xing'er there. Although she would always have an extra pair of eyes, she
I really couldn't bear to see her being tortured day by day, and because of this, I tied my hands and couldn't use my hands and feet to do things.
There were finally a few things that went well for her, but what she couldn't let go of the most at the moment was the illness of the imperial concubine. After summoning the Sixth Palace that day, the imperial concubine slept for a long time before she woke up. Lan Qi was extremely weak and felt guilty, but the imperial concubine did not.
He said with great joy: "I can make you feel guilty about me, and I will feel at ease even if I go underground."
Lan Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe it was a good thing to see the imperial concubine smile.
In the afternoon of that day, Lan Qi wanted to go to Chengqian Palace to see the imperial concubine. Suddenly someone came from Jingyang Palace and said that tribute items from Korea had been sent. Only then did Lan Qi remember this matter. The emperor was supposed to live a long life in March this year.
The tribute paid by North Korea was sent two months late, which was strange.
