Seeing that she was about to go out, the palace maid quickly reached out to stop her, "Master!"
Xie Li raised his eyebrows and said, "What? I can't go? Even if I go to the Sixth Palace of the East and West, it is the inner palace. Can't I, a person from the East Palace, still go to the place of all the empresses?"
The palace maid was afraid to stop her after she said this, so she had to say, "I didn't mean this. It was just that something happened before. The Crown Princess was worried about the safety issues in the palace, so she had strict requirements on moving around.
I have not been in the palace for a long time, and I am not very clear about many rules. I am afraid that I will not have any place for a while and will cause my master to be in trouble."
Seeing that she was quite submissive in her words, Xie Li was too lazy to care about her, so she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'll just walk around and I won't run around inside, and I won't implicate you."
She said so, so the palace maids naturally dared not stop them.
Just come out of this ear gate and go to the six palaces of the harem, and first you have to pass through a period of the previous dynasty's territory.
The palace maid was very worried, for fear that Xie Li would not understand the rules and would hit the noble person.
Fortunately, although Xie Li was worried, she showed no sign of running there. She just looked at the people walking there from time to time.
"Are my father and brother all over there?"
The palace maid looked in the direction of Xie Li's finger, then nodded tremblingly and said, "Yes, there is the yamen of the six ministries over there, but Wenyuan Pavilion is not in the same place."
After saying that, he was afraid that he would not say clearly, so he said, "But... they won't go here on weekdays."
When Xie Li heard this, she turned around and looked at her, and sneered softly, "Do you think I'm going to find my father and brother?"
The palace maid dared not answer, but Xie Li smiled and shook her head, "What's the use of me going to find them? The family can send me away so cruelly, even if I am at a dead end, they won't look at me more.
If they really want to admit me, there is only His Highness. Otherwise, in their eyes, I would like to have no such person in this world, I…”
Speaking of this, Xie Li's face suddenly changed color and turned pale in an instant.
The palace maid saw that she was halfway through her speech, and couldn't help but turn to look at her curiously.
Xie Li seemed to have lost her soul and walked forward step by step.
The palace maid didn't know where she was going, but saw that she was not going forward, so she didn't ask much and followed silently.
Just looking at Xie Li's face looked really ugly, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Really or not?" A woman's voice came, as if it was the palace maid from the East Palace, coming from the other end of the bamboo forest next to her, "Who is the one living in our palace?"
"Don't you understand?" Another palace maid's voice, "Although this person is still living in Jiang Liangdi's yard, for our East Palace, this person is equivalent to no longer exist."
"Ah? What does this mean?"
The tone of the palace maid at the back was two points of impatient, "How did you live in the palace for so many years with such a brain? Fortunately, you were only responsible for cleaning, you think! The Xie family said that it was because the fourth girl unfortunately died of illness and really valued the Su family's marriage, so the fifth girl in their family replaced her sister and married her. She also specially fostered the fifth girl in the name of their eldest wife and became a legitimate daughter. Isn't this just telling everyone clearly that the one was given up by the Xie family?"
After the palace maid's explanation, the first palace maid reacted, said with a long "Oh" and flattered: "So that's the case. Look at my pig's brain, I really can't figure out anything. If it weren't for your answer, sister, I might not have figured out clearly in my life. Then, would we still need to be so respectful when we meet someone in the future?"
The more mature and experienced palace maid said, "Are you still swaying on your face? You know it in your heart. There will be many such things in the future!"
As the two of them were talking, they gradually drifted away, while Xie Li leaned against the courtyard wall and felt like she was nailed and could not move.
The Xie family is so cruel!
He directly claimed to the public that she had died.
In this way, she not only couldn't use the Xie family's momentum to make the prince pay attention to her.
There may even be accused of impersonating the fourth girl of the Xie family.
After a long time, her breathing returned to normal, but it became more and more rapid again. Her brain seemed to be a little unresponsive, and her limbs felt a little numb.
The palace maid beside her looked at her with complicated eyes.
Even though she was not a shameful person in this palace, she could hear clearly what the two palace maids said just now. After living in the palace for so many years, it was impossible that she could not even understand such words.
Xie Li turned her face and saw her expression, and she was immediately angry.
"What are you doing when you look at me like this? Are you sure I can't become the imperial concubine, right?"
She suddenly spoke ill of evil words and frightened the palace maid's legs so weakened, and she knelt down.
Xie Li looked at the face of the palace maid in front of him and wanted to pull out her hairpin and go forward and stroke it hard.
But she had been controlled by her emotions just now and had lost her strength, so she was just thinking about it.
She stared at the palace maid with eyes. After a while, her breathing slowly stabilized, and then stood up straight with the wall, "I think this is not true. You should have a chance to leave the palace, right?"
The palace maid didn't know what she wanted to do, but it wasn't easy to hear such an important conversation just now.
In such a deep palace, the most important thing to save your life is to know less, the better, and the less you participate, the better.
Therefore, she said repeatedly: "Nubi's family has no relatives. She received the funeral money at that time, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs has wiped out the fake of slaves and cannot leave the palace."
"Is that right?" Xie Li narrowed her eyes and stared at her face.
It seems that I want to judge whether the maid in front of me is true or false.
The palace maid dared not move, and her forehead was almost scared and sweating due to fear.
Finally, Xie Li's eyes let her go, and then she heard her voice coming from above, "I'm tired, just sit here for a while. Go and inquire, who can leave the palace tomorrow if there is a leave of absence."
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, with a little hesitant expression on her face, "Master..."
"If you don't go, I'll tell the Crown Princess now that you're walking with others just now, and the rumors are about me."
The palace maid kowtowed immediately, "I'll go and ask now."
When the palace maid left, Xie Li sat down on the stone bench beside her. Her hands and feet were so cold that she couldn't even feel the temperature of the stone bench.
The wind blows over, as if it is coming from a distant place.
At this time, Xie Li only remembered a person's face.
Aunt Huang, her biological mother.
Since then, after refusing to marry the Su family, her biological mother was destined to lose her husband's favor, and the rest of her life might not be easy.
If she could make a name for herself and make a name for herself, perhaps her mother could live a good life.
But now...
Even she is "dead", what kind of kindness can her biological mother get?
It was not until this time that Xie Li realized that the decision at that time was too risky.
To be precise, she regrets it.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Little girl, what are you doing here alone?"
