It's a sad story. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Yasukuni Mansion in the west of the city is a well-known Houmen Wang clan of the dynasty, and the grandfather of Yasukuni Gong Cheng Yan helped Emperor Shizu to lay down the country, and is one of the four founding heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Cheng Yan's father married a princess, and his sister was sent to the palace as a concubine, and she became close to the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. Today's Cheng Yan is known as the "pillar of the court", relied on by the emperor, and dominates the ministers in the court.

However, Cheng Jinzhi, as the third lady of the Yasukuni Mansion, should have been strolling around and pampered, but although she was given the name of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", she lived a sad life of "rotten vegetable leaves".

Especially since her biological mother passed away when she was nine years old, her status as a concubine in the mansion has plummeted, and those who know it disdain to call her "Third Miss", and those who don't know think that she is a lazy and annoying "maid" in the Yasukuni Mansion. ”

In the words of his mother-in-law Zhang: "Cheng Jinzhi, you are the body of the maid, the life of the maid!"

Fortunately, Cheng Jinzhi has long been accustomed to the cold eyes and slanted eyebrows of the people in the mansion, the wind and frost sword, and has been working in the Yasukuni Mansion for many years, relying not only on a hard-working hard bone and a cleverness to be abducted, but also a spirit of "blind optimism" supporting her.

Because she always felt that in the near future, she would definitely be able to get ahead, be ashamed of her blood, let the hateful mother-in-law who bullied the soft and afraid of the hard serve her tea and water, and let the two snobbish sisters with eyes on their heads pinch her shoulders and beat her legs for her, including her negative father who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and had to give her three points of courtesy.

Of course, at this moment, she still hurriedly sent the bowl of green vegetable pickled rice in her hand into her stomach first.

"Cheng Jinzhi, Cheng Jinzhi, you come out for me!"

It's a pity that just after a few mouthfuls of food, an arrogant and high-pitched female voice hovered from the verandah opposite.

"It's not good, it's Cheng Xiuning's pretentious woman!"

Cheng Xiuning is from the Liu family in the second room, and she is also the second lady in the boudoir of the Yasukuni Mansion. Although she is a concubine, unlike Cheng Jinzhi, her biological mother is the eldest brother of the queen of the dynasty and the niece of Zhao Xinzhi, the marquis of An. Although he is more than forty years old, he still has charm, and he is a person with eight faces, and he also has a son, and his mother is expensive by virtue of his son, so he is deeply popular in the house.

Cheng Jinzhi vigilantly put the chopsticks back on the edge of the bowl with a snap, and just wanted to escape with the bowl, a figure with a flower branch had already rushed towards this side in a hurry.

"Stop!"

"Not good!" Cheng Jinzhi secretly gritted his teeth, turned around and greeted him with a smile, "Second sister, what kind of wind blew you here?"

"Hmph, are you embarrassed to say, I asked you to embroider a phoenix for me on this fan a few days ago, I want to match my new clothes at my father's birthday banquet, take a look at it today, what kind of phoenix is this!" Cheng Xiuning pointed to the bird-like thing in the middle of the handkerchief and said sharply, "This is clearly a pheasant!"

"Ouch, that's not just a good match for you. ”

Cheng Jinzhi couldn't help but smile and muttered to himself, and hurriedly took the handkerchief and pointed to the "phoenix" on the top and explained: "Oh, second sister, what kind of pheasant is this, this is a fake phoenix, look at this head, look at this wing, look at this cockscomb... No, no, look at this crown, and this ......."

"Okay, okay, shut up! Anyway, I'm not satisfied, you re-embroider me, and if you don't embroider well before dawn tomorrow, you will be punished for not eating for three days." ”

"Tomorrow?" Cheng Jinzhi cried with a sad face, "It's noon now, even if I don't sleep, how can I embroider a phoenix in this half a day, embroidering a sparrow is almost the same." ”

"Don't bargain for me here, if I can't see your "Phoenix" tomorrow morning, you just wait for Guan Chai Fang to be hungry!" Cheng Xiuning said viciously, leaning closer to her and said proudly, "Also, don't expect Dad to save you when he comes back, so he doesn't care about your life or death." After speaking, he walked away.

"Bah, this pretentious woman, even a pheasant is 10,000 times cuter than you!" Cheng Jinzhi stared at her back with a resentful face, threw the fan on the ground, and just wanted to raise his foot to step on it, but finally reluctantly reluctantly reluctantly retracted his foot and picked up the fan again.

"Forget it, I'll wash it if it's dirty, so don't make trouble for yourself. ”

Cheng Jinzhi sat back on the steps, spread out his palms and looked at the wound on the fingertips of his ten fingers that was punctured by the embroidery needle, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, but before the sad emotions could spread in his heart, this urging cry sounded again.

"Cheng Jinzhi, have you made the tea in the tea room?"

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

"Cheng Jinzhi, have you fed the fish in the pond?"

"It's coming... Here we go..."

"Cheng Jinzhi, did you send the cloth for your wife?"

"Come... Ahh Come... Ahh

Since Cheng Yan's fiftieth birthday will be three days later, everyone in the house is busy preparing for Zhang Luo. Cheng Yan has a high position and a good reputation, so this birthday banquet naturally has to be held decently, so that guests from all over the world can be convinced. It's just that there are more ideas, and there are more people who are just talking about it, so the dirty work that falls on Cheng Jinzhi is even more unabated.

It's just that there are countless servants in this big Yasukuni Mansion, but it seems that any trivial matter can have something to do with her, on the contrary, if she is missing, it seems that nothing will change.

Cheng Jinzhi has always felt that this is the most terrifying place, and it is also a fact that she wants to work hard to change.

"When is a day like this?" she sighed as she held two pieces of cloth to the sky, even if she is blindly optimistic, there will always be a time when her faith is missing, after all, she is tired and hungry now.

Of course, the real reason is because she is hungry.

"Master, this birthday banquet, there will definitely be many dignitaries, I heard that the young master is already on the way back, and will arrive at noon tomorrow, and it seems that His Royal Highness King Yan will also come to the banquet. ”

"King Yan? is that King Yan who dared to fight against hundreds of iron horsemen of the Western Jin Dynasty with the strength of one person, and finally returned safely with the young master?"

As soon as she stepped into the back garden through the moon cave, Cheng Jinzhi heard a few maids chatting around the flower bed, she didn't have the heart to listen to these women chewing the root of their tongues, but as soon as she heard them mention "Young Master Cousin", her whole spirit suddenly refreshed, and she pricked up her ears and quietly leaned over.

"Yes, yes, it's him, he can risk his life for the safety of his friends, such a man must be very handsome!"

"That's true, but I've heard rumors that say... said that this His Royal Highness King Yan is actually... Like men. ”

"Actually, I've also heard that His Royal Highness King Yan has long reached the age where he can marry a wife, but he is still alone, and he sacrificed his life to save the young master... Is it because...?"

"No... Don't talk nonsense, do you?"

"Why not? The young master is a dragon and phoenix, and it is not impossible to say that a man likes him......"

Cheng Jinzhi had no intention of listening to what they said afterwards, and there were only two thoughts in her mind now-

The person she wanted to see the most was coming back.

The person she wanted to see the most was targeted by a perverted prince who seemed to be very powerful.
