"I ......" Cheng Jingjing didn't know where to start, so she could only ask tentatively: "Miao, you also know about my amnesia last time, and I can't remember where my home is now, do you know?"

"I really don't know this," Wen Miao frowned and said, "If you want to find out, you have to ask Princess Zhuang to find someone to flip through the book." But...... How can you even forget this?"

"Hey, I broke my head that day, and I almost don't even remember myself," Cheng Jingjing saw that things were troublesome, so she gave up that thought and said, "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, let's stay here together for the New Year." ”

"Jingjing, I have to go back to the Qinglou to see my sisters," Wen Miao said, "I was sold there since I was a child, and if they hadn't taken care of me, I wouldn't have survived now." So ......"

Seeing the apology in her eyes, Cheng Jingjing hurriedly said: "Then you can go back, I still have Yuexi and Huabian to accompany me." ”

Who knew that the painting on the side said: "Auntie, our sisters plan to take the opportunity to go back to their hometown, and this time it is estimated that you are really the only one here." ”

Cheng Jingjing's face was full of loneliness when she heard this, but she still pretended to be indifferent and said: "Okay, you all go, it's not a big deal for me to stay alone for a few days." ”

"If you think the palace is deserted, just go back to the Qinglou with me, right? ”

"It's not good for me to go there and disturb you alone," Cheng Jingjing refused Wen Miao's suggestion and sat on the chair: "I, I'd better stay in this Youlan Courtyard and wait for you to come back." When you come back, remember to bring me some delicious and fun food!"

"Auntie, don't worry, Yuexi and I will definitely bring back the specialties to you. He smiled as he covered his mouth.

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the two princesses left the palace in a carriage, and then the subordinates packed up and left one after another. After seeing Wen Miao and Yuexi paint the three of them leave, Cheng Jingjing leaned on the door a little lonely and didn't know what to do. Everyone went back to celebrate the New Year with their relatives, and she was the only one dangling aimlessly, and her eyes turned red before she knew it.

"Why are you still here?"

Cheng Jingjing, who was walking on the gravel road, was suddenly stopped by someone, and when she looked up, she found Yang An standing in front of her.

"Slave maid...... I don't want to go back, I want to stay in the palace for the New Year this year. After making an excuse, she lowered her head weakly.

Yang An looked at her for a while and said, "Since you don't want to go back for the New Year, let's go into the palace with this king to meet the queen mother." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and waved her hand in a panic: "The prince should go by himself, I am a big rough person, if I say the wrong thing in front of the queen mother, I will lose my head." ”

"Huh. Yang An was amused by her appearance, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

Cheng Jingjing was stunned for a moment, this smile was too similar to the person she knew before. She still remembers that it was this smile that encouraged her to step into the showbiz and become a hard-working little actor.

"Let's go out with this king," Yang An didn't wait for her to react, and walked forward: "Just enter the palace and talk less, no one will cut off your head for bad luck during the Chinese New Year." ”

Seeing that she had no room to refuse, Cheng Jingjing had no choice but to follow with her head stiff.

The place where the Queen Mother stayed was estimated to be the most majestic place in the palace, and when Cheng Jingjing followed Yang An to the Longevity Palace, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of oppression. The unsmiling appearance of the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides made her dare not come out, and she didn't dare to imagine what a solemn woman was in the depths of the hall.

"Why did you change your personality today?"

Seeing Cheng Jingjing's restrained appearance, Yang An couldn't help but tease her: "The one inside is just the queen mother, you are not even afraid of the emperor, are you still afraid of this?"

"Don't joke about slaves and maids," Cheng Jingjing swallowed her saliva and whispered: "The queen mother in the TV series is a powerful person, otherwise how would she let her son become the emperor." ”

"What is a TV series?" Yang An asked puzzled.

Cheng Jingjing was able to deal with it indiscriminately after a while, and the two walked through the deep corridor and finally came to the door of the main hall.

"Lord An, the Queen Mother has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow the old slave in. ”

The year-old palace maid stood by the door, waiting for them respectfully.

"There's Aunt Law. ”

Yang An followed the old palace maid to a bead curtain and said to Cheng Jingjing, "Just wait here." ”

"Who is An'er talking to?"

At this time, the voice of the queen mother came from inside, and Yang An replied: "It's a personal maid of Erchen, and I brought it over to you to pay New Year's greetings." ”

"Then bring it in," the person inside said, "The longevity palace of the mourning family is too deserted, and one more person can come over to talk, and it can also be more popular." ”

"I have a stomachache and I have to go to the toilet ......"

Yang An grabbed Cheng Jingjing, who wanted to escape, and took her into the back room like an eagle catching a chicken.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother, I wish you a happy New Year. ”

Cheng Jingjing kowtowed honestly after entering the inner room, but because she was too nervous, she forgot about the rules of the palace without paying attention.

Fortunately, the queen mother did not reproach her, but smiled: "This wild girl outside the palace is much more spiritual, unlike the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, who do things in a straightforward manner, which makes the mourning family like it." ”

Hearing that she was not dragged out and beheaded, Cheng Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get up, there are no outsiders here, and there are no need for so many rules. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie. ”

Cheng Jingjing stood up from the ground cautiously, and then dared to raise her eyes to look at the Queen Mother. This queen mother is not very old, about forty or fifty years old, because she is well maintained, except for the few silver threads in her ears, her appearance and charm are still not inferior to those women in the harem.

"What's your name, what's the good guy in the picture?"

was asked by the Queen Mother, and she looked at Yang An at a loss. Fortunately, the other party still had some conscience and helped her say: "Queen Mother, this girl has only been in the minister's mansion for a year, and you are in a hurry to drive her to marry?"

"The queen mother is old, and she is very idle in this longevity palace," the queen mother said with a pleasant face: "The mourning family usually helps the children of the emperor's relatives to pull the red line, and they are also happy to see their pair of mourning families." ”(36)

"Isn't it better for you to ask the queen to accompany you more," Yang An said, "Let her bring the little prince more to see you in the future." ”

"I heard that the Dragon Princess is pregnant?" The Queen Mother suddenly said to Cheng Jingjing: "You go out first, the mourning family wants to talk to Prince An about something." ”

Cheng Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and then happily retreated, she couldn't wait to leave quickly. It's just that I don't know what secret things the queen mother is going to say, and she wants to get her out.

When she reached the door of the main hall, she saw that there was no one around, so she stretched and sat down on the threshold and snored.

At this time, only the Queen Mother and Prince An were left in the back room. I saw that the queen mother changed her amiability just now, and said to Yang Anzhengse: "Recently, the emperor has taken action against the Long family, and at this time the dragon princess is pregnant, An'er, do you know the pros and cons?"

"The emperor is jealous of the Long family, but Yu'er has no idea about their grievances," Yang An said: "Of course, Erchen will not forget the teachings of the queen mother, no matter what happens, I must do my best to protect the throne of the imperial brother." ”

"Long Yu'er, that girl is obsessed with you," the Empress Dowager sighed and said, "If Long Guofei threatens his grandson with you in the future, I'm afraid it will be a potential bane for the emperor." ”

"Erchen has his own plans, and there is no need for the queen mother to be careful. ”

Angry.

“…… Did the prince quarrel with someone?" she asked cautiously.

Yang An ignored her and walked forward on his own. She made a sneaky grimace behind her and followed closely.

As soon as the two of them left the palace, Cheng Jingjing saw Yang An throw a bottle out of the carriage. She asked curiously, "What did the prince throw just now?"

"Poison. Yang An said expressionlessly.

Cheng Jingjing thought he was joking, and he didn't take it seriously. It was already evening after the two returned to the palace, Yang An stopped her who wanted to go back to Youlan Courtyard, and said, "The cooks in the palace have gone back, you can go to this king's place for dinner tonight, and Lone Ying will bring back a table of wine and food later." ”

Cheng Jingjing thought that it would not be good to be hungry during the Chinese New Year, so she nodded and agreed.

After the two of them finished their New Year's dinner in the evening, Yang Anming Guying took a few pots of wine from the wine cellar and came out. Cheng Jingjing smelled the hundred-year-old wine, and couldn't help but drink.

After a few mouthfuls of yellow soup, she felt dizzy and swollen, and after a while, her whole body became fluttery, and her mouth began to talk nonsense.

"Lord An, the slave secretly told you a secret...... Cheng Jingjing blushed and said inarticulately: "You are very ...... Especially like someone I know......"

"Like whom?" Yang An asked with an eyebrow.

"Who is the man...... It's mine...... First love!" Cheng Jingjing smiled and said, "Do you know what a first love is......?" As soon as he came to you...... The whole person sparkles...... So that you don't dare to look at him directly...... But...... But I knew I wasn't worthy of him...... I can only look up to him forever...... Kindness...... It's good to look up to him......"

"Where is that person?" Yang An's face was a little bad after he understood her words.

Who knew that Cheng Jingjing stood up with a grin, picked up an umbrella next to the bookshelf and ran out.

"Lord Wang, do you want your subordinates to follow?" asked Lone Shadow amusedly, he had never seen a person's wine so bad.

"No need," Yang An stood up and walked out: "It's good for you to stay here, if there is anything this king will call you again." ”

When he came to the courtyard outside the house, he saw Cheng Jingjing dancing in the snow with the umbrella, and singing songs he had never heard before.

Seeing her jumping like a butterfly in a green dress, Yang An couldn't help but pick up the flute and play silently for her under the eaves.

At this time, the world was silent, only the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground, and Lone Shadow looked at the two people who were full of tacit understanding, and couldn't bear to go out to disturb them.

"Ah——!h

When Cheng Jingjing was immersed in beautiful dancing and music, she accidentally fell backwards because the ice and snow on the ground were too slippery. The umbrella fell to the ground, but he was stopped and hugged from behind.

"Are you alright?" Yang An looked down at her, and the two were close enough to hear each other's breathing.

Cheng Jingjing wanted to push him away because she had just drunk too much wine, but she was weak, so she could only fall softly into the other party's arms.

At this time, there was a panicked footstep outside the courtyard, and the keen-eared lone shadow immediately chased after him. When he held down the sneaky person, he found that the other party was warm through the dim light.

"Mrs. Wen?" Lone Shadow let go of her hand and looked at her suspiciously, "Didn't you go back to visit your relatives?"

"Yes, but I came back early," Wen Miao smiled miserably: "I thought Jingjing would be lonely if she stayed alone in the palace, so I came back early." I didn't expect to disturb her and the prince's solitude, I was really self-inflicted. ”

Although Lone Ying didn't know much about these women's thoughts, she also noticed that something was wrong, and said to her, "Do you want to go down and tell the prince that you came to find Miss Cheng?"

"Don't!" Wen Miao grabbed Lone Shadow's sleeve and said in a panic: "I'll go back to Youlan Courtyard alone, don't tell them I've been here, Brother Lone Shadow, please help." ”

Seeing her pleading appearance, Lone Shadow had no choice but to agree.

Wen Miao ran all the way back to Youlan Courtyard, and when she pushed the door in, she couldn't help but lie on the table and cry. In the past, she just kept reassuring herself that everything was fake, but now she saw Cheng Jingjing and Wang Ye hugging each other intimately, no matter how much she deceived herself, it was useless.

"Why...... Why do you want to do this to me?" she picked up the jade pendant in her arms and cried, "Are you pitying me, or are you laughing at me...... Why do you keep deceiving me and refusing to tell me the truth?"

"I've always treated you as a sister...... But you keep taking me for a fool...... This bracelet, this jade pendant, don't do it!"

"Bang-" Wen Miao threw the two things to the ground, shattering like her heart. Looking at the broken jade on the ground, she cried bitterly alone.

At noon the next day, Cheng Jingjing woke up touching her sore head.

"Are you awake?" Wen Miao walked over from the side and lifted the quilt for her: "Why didn't you wake up this morning, you were still full of alcohol, what did you do last night?"

"Miao, why did you come back?" Cheng Jingjing was surprised and delighted, and said: "I just drank some wine with the prince last night, and I don't remember what happened later." How did I get back?" (037.)

"I don't understand," Wen Miao said calmly as usual, "As soon as I came back this morning, I saw you sleeping soundly, I guess the prince sent you back." ”

Cheng Jingjing's strength was not gone, and she didn't have the strength to think too much, so she got up from the bed to find water to drink. Then she saw something red glowing on the ground, so she picked it up and asked, "Why does this thing look like red agate, did someone break something?"

Wen Miao found out that it was the fragment that she hadn't swept away last night, so she hurriedly stepped forward to take it away and pushed her to the door: "Hurry up and take a shower to wake up, see that you are stinky." ”

Cheng Jingjing sniffed the clothes on her body, and sure enough, she was full of alcohol, so she ran to boil water and take a bath.

The snow in the capital stopped falling and stopped, and after three months, Long Yuer's stomach was obviously bulging, but she didn't remember her mother's family's advice to be careful in everything, but she held a big belly every day to show off her temper everywhere, which made people angry and dare not speak.

When Jingjing was wandering around the palace, she saw a maid crying and crying, and when she saw that the maid looked like she had just entered the mansion, she kindly stepped forward and asked, "Which courtyard are you from, why are you crying so sadly?"

The maid didn't know that she was from Youlan Courtyard, so she said: "I am a maid from Furong Courtyard, and today I was unlucky enough to knock over the Dragon Princess's favorite cheese and cherries, and the princess was very angry, saying that she would tell the prince to call someone to kill me, and deduct my wages." ”

Cheng Jingjing said angrily and with a smile: "That Dragon Princess's temper has always been like this, and her heart and eyes are as small as needles. But don't worry, Prince An is fair and will not beat you to death because of this little thing. ”

"However, that cherry is precious, I heard that it is a special supply from the palace, and the princess said that if you knock over it, there will be no more. The maid wiped her tears as she spoke.

Cheng Jingjing comforted her in a good voice: "If the Dragon Princess must punish you, you will run to the prince to intercede, if the prince is here, she will not dare to punish you severely no matter what." ”

"Thank you, sister," the maid relieved herself after listening to her words, sniffed and asked, "Which hospital is my sister from?"

"I'm from the Youlan Courtyard over there. ”

As soon as she heard that Cheng Jingjing was Wen Miao's servant, the maid's face changed, and she said hesitantly: "If it's okay, sister, I'll leave first." ”

"Hey, what's wrong?" Cheng Jingjing grabbed her sleeve and asked dissatisfiedly: "Are the people of our Youlan Courtyard ghosts, so you are so evasive." ”

The people in the courtyard came and went, and they also said that Mrs. Wen was from a low background, and she entered the palace because she used means to seduce the prince......"

"What?!" Cheng Jingjing stomped her feet angrily when she heard this, she pulled the maid behind a white wall, and taught her earnestly: "Sister, you see that you are young, and you still have to have your own subjective judgment when you look at people and things......"

After chatting with the maid for a long time, Cheng Jingjing returned to Youlan Courtyard with a dry mouth, fortunately the maid had the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and listened to her words.

"Why does my sister have the leisure to come to me to sit here today, this side is not as good as your Furong Courtyard, don't be surprised. ”

"Sister, although this is simple, it is also very quiet, and it is good to come and visit once in a while. ”

At this time, the sound of two people talking came from the room, Cheng Jingjing walked in to take a look, and sure enough, it was Long Yu'er sitting in it with Huanxi and waiting for the maid, and Wen Miao was standing helplessly on the side.

"You're back," Wen Miao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when she appeared at the door, and beckoned, "Say hello to the Dragon Princess." ”

"Greetings to the Princess. ”

Cheng Jingjing thought of what the maid had told her before, and reluctantly saluted.

"You don't have to, just a good cup of tea. ”

At this time, Long Yu'er said while stroking her big belly: "It is also a blessing for this princess to let the celebrities around the prince make a cup of tea for this princess, sister, are you right." ”

"Sister, what are these words," Wen Miao took the tea tray in Jingjing's hand and said with a smile: "Jingjing is just a lowly maid, and it is her blessing to be able to serve your sister." ”

Long Yu'er took the teacup and took a sip, but sprayed a warm face of tea without warning.

"Why is this tea cold, you give this to the princess when it's cold? What if you hurt the baby in your belly?!"

"Impossible, it's obviously hot when I pour the water," Cheng Jingjing picked up the teacup angrily, stretched out her finger and poked it in, and said, "Dragon Princess, your tongue is made of thousands of years of cold ice, can such hot water still be said to be ice?"

"Okay, you little girl, your master didn't speak, and you ran out. Huanxi stepped forward to push her away, and said scoldingly: "If it weren't for our princess's kindness, we would have dragged you down to beat fifty boards a long time ago." ”

"Okay, okay, let's not get angry with these rough people," Long Yu'er got up from her seat and said to Wen Miao: "Sister will discipline and discipline people more in the future, so as not to hurt the harmony of our sisters." The baby in this belly kicked me again, and my sister went back to rest first. ”

"Cross the stream, paint the bank, and send the princess out. ”

Wen Miao held back her anger and sent Long Yu'er away, never daring to wipe the tea off her face. At this time, Cheng Jingjing took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her, and said distressedly: "That Long Yu'er is really vicious, and deliberately came to us to be a demon, I think she will repay herself sooner or later if she continues to do this." Why didn't you know to resist just now?"

"The family is the princess, the daughter of the Long family, what else can we do. A bitter smile appeared on Wen Miao's face: "Jingjing, sometimes people and people's lives are incomparable, and most of us who have no background can only accept our fate." ”

"I don't accept my fate!" Cheng Jingjing said angrily: "If I were you, I would not let others bully me like this, sometimes repaying grievances with virtue will only make the wicked gain an inch." You've got to learn to protect yourself! If one day I'm not with you, I'm so worried that something will happen to you. ”

Seeing her sad face, Wen Miao only felt mixed feelings in her heart. Why does this person who has deceived herself from beginning to end still care so much about her, which sentence is true?

That night, everyone was unexpectedly summoned to the side hall by Yang An. When the people got there, they saw a swollen corpse on the ground.

"What is this?!" Long Yu'er, who was pregnant, was so frightened that she took a few steps back when she saw the corpse, and Huanxi behind her hurriedly held her up.

"Sister sit down first," Zhuang Hanxue, who was sitting in the second seat, said coldly, "This is the maid in your courtyard, don't you recognize it?" 38

"Which maid?" Long Yu'er staggered to the edge of the chair and sat down, and after steadying her breath, she said, "There are so many maids in this princess's courtyard, how can they remember all of them." ”

Yang An said, "Huanxi, go over and see if this person is a maid from Furong Courtyard?"

Huanxi couldn't hold back his fear and walked up to identify it, and said, "Back to the prince, this person is indeed our new maid Xiaobi." It's just that none of us knew about her falling into the well. ”

Hearing the word new, Cheng Jingjing had an ominous premonition in her heart, she secretly looked inside, and was immediately shocked. The corpse lying on the ground was actually the little maid she met today, why did she suddenly jump into the well and die?

"Lord Wang, someone said to the concubine just now that this maid was scolded by Sister Long for doing something wrong today, so she must have gone to death if she couldn't think about it, right?"

Hearing Zhuang Hanxue say this, Yang An asked Long Yu'er: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yu'er just reprimanded her......" Long Yu'er saw that she had no way to quibble, so she pretended to be aggrieved and said: "This girl is working roughly, and she knocked over the cherries that the prince brought back from the palace, Yu'er scolded her a few words when she was angry, who knew that she couldn't think about it, so she ran to find death......

“
