Chapter 167: A Blessing in Misfortune
－－－－－－－－－－－
While the palace maid was talking, she handed the wrung-out towel to Zijin and said with an envious smile:
"The girl's life is so good,
On the first day I entered the palace, I met such a noble man.
Unlike my slave,
I have stayed in this harem for almost three years,
I have never seen any girl so lucky.
Hey, it must be the girl who has such a rich destiny that she met three..."
The palace maid saw that Zijin was not listening at all.
He stopped mid-sentence.
At this time, Zijin was even more puzzled.
Who was that young man in gorgeous clothes last night?
Why does even the consul Eunuch Cao betray his face so much?
Could it be that he is a high official in the palace?
Or someone like a guard with a sword in front of the emperor?
That should be right, look at his heroic appearance,
They must be the sword-carrying guards in front of the emperor.
Zijin was thinking wildly,
Suddenly I found that the palace maid who had been chattering suddenly stopped.
He said with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry,
I just had a short-circuit in my brain,
What did you just say?"
The palace maid obviously didn't understand Zijin's "brain short circuit".
But she didn't ask, she just followed Zijin's words and said:
"My slave just said that this girl is destined to be like this.
Although I was tortured with a rod and suffered some physical pain,
But in exchange for a lifetime of glory, it’s worth it!”
"A lifetime of glory?"
Zi Jin looked at the palace maid with some doubts and asked: "What kind of glory?"
"When a girl meets such a noble man,
Are you still far away from glory and wealth?"
While combing Zijin's hair, the palace maid sighed:
"The beauty who came in at the same time as the girl,
I don’t know how much I envy you, girl!”
"Envy me?
As soon as I entered the palace, I was punished by Concubine Shu. What should I envy?"
Zi Jin looked at the palace maid who was carefully combing her hair in the bronze mirror and asked.
"This..." The palace maid was about to speak when suddenly there was a noise outside the door.
