The winter moon was originally the easiest month to pass by, and everyone's eyes were on the following lunar New Year's Festival. However, the fifteenth day of the winter moon is Xie Changruo's birthday. And the fifteenth day of the winter moon of the first year of Yongping is the day when the crown prince Shengyao and the crown princess Wu Shanghua got married. This winter month has become the most insurmountable hurdle in my heart.

I tried my best not to think about the appearance of Sheng Yao and the other her completing the ceremonies together in the Jiaotai Palace, not to think about the scene of the ministers congratulating and the people celebrating together, not to think about the blessings and glory of them being lifted up by Emperor Wei and the Empress, not to think about the tension when the big red hijab was raised and the feelings after the curtain fell.

Try not to listen to the festive hustle and bustle of the Yude Palace, and not to listen to the joyful bursts that last for three days in the direction of the Langhua Palace......

Worked hard to the extreme, the winter moon of the first year of Yongping, in my memory, was a blank and barren.

Just like since Ruan Liangdi and Su Su handed over the general affairs director back to the crown princess, the untended back garden of Huiyin Hall is as empty.

However, even if it is deserted, there are always people who will not forget this place, and as a person, I am like this.

On this day, I was originally teaching Cuinong and Ruyi in the study. As soon as the thick door curtain was raised, a biting cold wind rushed in—Yinghong, who came in in a hurry, choked and said: "Zhaoxun, the maid can't stop it, Qiuhe and Fengnian have been beaten by them a lot." ”

"Who?" I was amazed.

Mrs. Hui broke in with someone, Qiu He stepped forward to inquire, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Mrs. Hui asked someone to kneel on the ground, and Feng Nian, who came later, was taken down before he even spoke. Mrs. Hui said that they committed the following crimes, and they are making people slap their mouths!"

Before I finished speaking, I had already stood up and let Yinghong lead the way out.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he heard Guan Huiying's soft voice raised high, and said three points proudly and seven points sharply: "I know that you are the people of the Huiyin Palace, and I know that you are the people of Qu Xiaoguan." So what? Even Qu Xiaoguan is like this, how can you still show off your might in front of me as before!"

I glanced at it, and the faces of several of her people were already covered with palm prints. Suddenly he shouted: "Stop!"

In addition to the personal maids, the people brought by Guan Huiying are a few powerful palace people, and they are usually punished when they see the slap in the face. Seeing that I was angry, I stopped for a moment and looked at Guan Huiying.

When Guan Huiying heard my voice, she first subconsciously laughed on her face. However, halfway through the smile, he remembered something again, and raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Don't stop!" and looked at me with his neck high, "Eh, isn't this Zhaoxun!"

Holding a handkerchief, he waved the non-existent dust in front of him, and deliberately flattered: "Disturbed Zhaoxun, Zhaoxun atoned for his sins!" However, Huiying was ordered by the crown princess to go back and forth to check the palaces. Please also ask Zhaoxun to make it convenient for the crown princess?"

Her words are very tricky.

I smiled faintly: "Although Xiaoguan is not talented, he also knows that the relatives in the East Palace respect the crown princess." The crown princess has an order, and the East Palace does not dare to disobey, and the Huiyin Palace is even more glad to accept it. I don't know where Mrs. Hui took the opportunity to make trouble, and put the prestige of the crown princess? Why don't I ask my sister to make it convenient, and don't trouble my handmaids?"

Guan Huiying laughed a few times and said, "Zhao Xun is so good at talking? Why did my sister never know it! Zhao Xun asked me to make it easier, this is begging me, right? I don't quite understand." If you ask, you have to look like you're begging!"

She took a few steps closer, raised her finger full of Tu Kodan and pointed at me, and said with a smile: "Qu Xiaoguan, you have to understand one thing, now it is no longer your world! Look at you like this now, it's really pitiful!"

I stood under the porch, wearing a homely jade-colored skirt, no hairpin rings, only a hairband tied my long hair back at the back of my head, and I didn't apply fat powder, probably really haggard. Cuinong and Ruyi were by their side, and when they heard this, they all said in unison: "Mrs. Hui, how can you be rude to Zhaoxun?"

I looked at Guan Huiying, she thought I was pitiful, why didn't I think she was pitiful!

When she saw that I didn't speak, she immediately became a little arrogant, "Rude? How can I be rude? Even if I am rude, what can you do? You don't have to suffer obediently! Who made your Zhaoxun fall out of favor! Speaking of which, when I speak here, you are just servants, just as humble as Qu Xiaoguan's background! How can you interject!"

She climbed the steps in front of the palace gate and beckoned to the palace people: "Come on, take down these few who are guilty of the following offenses, and there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, first slap the mouth, and then send them to the East Palace Xi Official Bureau to receive punishment." ”

I closed my eyes, then opened my eyes to look at Guan Huiying and the palace people, and scolded: "Who dares?" The people retreated with some cringe.

I looked at Guan Huiying, she still imitated my usual dress preferences, and her body shape was still similar. It's just that this temperament is really different, she imitates me every day, and it's uncomfortable to think about it.

At this time, she saw that the people she brought were casually reprimanded by me, and suddenly the resentment in her eyes flashed, "Zhaoxun is so majestic! Yes, you are the person on the tip of the prince's heart, and we have always been trampled under your feet, always looking up to you, afraid of you, and flattering you." But that was before! The crown prince doesn't take you seriously, you're nothing! Didn't you want Ruan Liangdi and them to ground me? Now the crown princess has personally lifted my grounding. ”

She approached me and said in a coquettish voice: "What about Zhaoxun? Aren't you still watching me Guan Huiying proud, but I have nothing to do? I'm the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, why should I be under you! I've put up with you for a long time!"

Her fingers, with her inch-long nails, almost touched my face.

"Smack!" There was a sudden silence under the corridor of the Huiyin Palace.

Until Guan Huiying's angry voice rang out: "You, you dare to beat me! You have already fallen out of favor, and you are still so arrogant! Come on, hit me!" she said herself as she stepped back down the steps, covered her face with a handkerchief, and glared at me with a pair of eyes.

I stood under the porch, my waist straight, "I really should be beaten! Such a person who does not distinguish between the inferior should be severely punished according to the palace rules! Yes, I am in solitary confinement, but I am still Donggong Zhaoxun." Did you just say that my maid was guilty of the following crimes?"

I looked down at her and smiled, "Then I should also teach you what it means to be humble, to respect and to be humble! lest you be proud and make the following mistakes again!"

She was angry, and waved her hand to urge the palace people: "What are you still doing in a daze? I, I have the support of the crown princess, what are you afraid of!"

"Aren't you afraid, even if you are to be brought to me today. Aren't you afraid that I will report your following crimes to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother? The Crown Princess can naturally say that she has no idea about your mistakes, but what about you? Are you sure that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will not punish you?" I raised my eyebrows and smiled: "You, you might as well give it a try!"
