Chapter 5: Name Change
Li Muer had a long dream, in which her father taught her to practice swords, her mother taught her to dance, her husband taught her to read, her grandmother covered her up, and her brother took her to the streets...... There is also daddy's blood spattered! Mother draws her sword and kills herself! Hello to the gentleman with tears! Mama is tortured! Brother Cong's horizontal knife is opposite...... In the end, everything returned to peace, leaving only a vague figure under the sun, and stretched out his hand to her, "Why do you look like this every time I see you?" Pen? Interesting?

So much so that when she opened her eyes, she was still stunned, and she didn't hear the cries of white ears beside the bed.
"Sister Mu, Sister Mu, you finally woke up, I really thought you were dead......"
"Sister Mu, Sister Mu ......"
"It's okay now, everything has passed, the emperor has made you a female official in the inner court, and the official rank is not small......"
The white fungus said in pieces, and then Li Mu'er was slowly pulled out of her memories. Li Mu'er clearly remembered that when she first saw Tremella, she praised her for being a quiet person with few words, how did she find out that she was also a chatter......
"White fungus," Li Mu'er rolled her eyes and looked at the room, "where am I?" ”
"Sister, this is the Qianqing Palace, you are now the emperor's former imperial attendant, and you should live in this remote pavilion and listen to the announcement at any time." The little face of the white fungus was filled with joy.
"The Waiter? What for? ”
"Serve the emperor!"
"What?!" Li Mu'er was startled, and suddenly felt pain in her heart, so she stroked her chest and coughed.
"Sister, lie down," Tremella hurriedly helped her, "You have been lying down for several days, and your face has become swollen, but this chest is said to have damaged the heart and veins, and you must take care of it, otherwise it will leave the root of the disease." ”
"I know." Li Mu'er was a little calm, she knew that Na Deyan kicked and kicked elsewhere, but she happened to be forced by Ma Cong's internal force to be with Ren Du's second vein, and the upper and lower main points were sealed with it. Although Deyan's strength is not great, it hurt her Ren Pulse and Eagle Window Acupoint, causing her to diffuse a little internal force, rushing up to her heart, damaging her heart veins, at least flustered and delirious, and at worst her heart stagnation and loss of life. Li Mu'er originally thought that her life would be difficult to protect, but now it seems that it is a fate.
Li Mu'er remembered something, and anxiously asked Yintu: "Brother Cong has been here?" ”
"What did my sister say?" Silver Ear recalled, "Is it the Jinyi Guard who commands Master Tongzhima?" ”
"Yes, he's right."
"I've been here, I don't know why he came, the emperor was also there at the time, so I went out."
Yes, Brother Cong came to guide her internal force and re-point the acupoints, so that she could pick up this life.
Li Mu'er didn't guess wrong. Three days ago, Ma Cong was discussing with his subordinates in the yamen and was urgently announced to the palace. Ma Cong arrived in a hurry, but found that Li Mu'er's cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he was placed in the side pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. He was suddenly distressed, he was frightened for a month, and he always thought about Li Mu'er's situation in the palace, but he didn't expect it to be the worst he imagined, why didn't he be annoyed?
When he was healing her, he couldn't help but blame Zhu Youji in his heart, Mu'er had a stubborn temperament, others didn't know, but he knew it. Let her survive in this unpredictable palace is like a bird that breaks its wings and dies for life.
When he went out, he begged Zhu Youzhi to allow Li Mu'er to leave the palace, and he was willing to guarantee it with his head. But Zhu Youzhu still rejected him, his original words were: "Now that she is on the official list, she can't leave the palace anymore." ”
Ma Cong was frightened, but he was even more puzzled, and he couldn't understand what Zhu Youzhi was thinking about, and he actually put the person who assassinated him beside him, and his heart was defenseless.
This is precisely Li Mu'er's doubts, before Tremella went out to take medicine, she told her that the position of the imperial attendant is the highest female official in front of the emperor, serving the emperor every day, and can be in charge of all matters in front of the emperor, and even participate in the deliberations of the monarchs and ministers of the Qianqing Palace. In this way, Li Mu'er not only wants to see this damned father-killing enemy all the time, but also exposes himself to the courtiers, although she is only a boudoir woman, it is difficult to keep that no one knows Li Muer's identity.
Just as Li Mu'er was thinking, someone knocked on the door outside: "Is Imperial Servant Li awake?" It was Xiao Jing's voice.
"Father-in-law, I'm awake," Li Mu'er thought about it and got up to open the door in person, "Father-in-law, what's the ......?"
Li Mu'er's words were stuck in her throat, because she saw Zhu Youzhu standing behind Xiao Jing, he was wearing civilian clothes today, he was leisurely, and when he saw her, there seemed to be a trace of joy in his eyes.
Li Mu'er froze her hands on the door, and her face sank suddenly, if it was anger or hatred, it was better to say that she didn't know how to face this man now. If she still thinks that all this is just a plot for him to get rid of herself, she can't help but look down on herself too much. But she couldn't guess him, she couldn't see him clearly, and even she herself felt that if he didn't execute her Ling Chi, she should be cut clean with a knife, so why bother with such thoughts.
"Will you let me stand at the door and talk to you?" Zhu Youzhu spoke at the right time.
Li Mu'er looked at him, then at Xiao Jing, and dodged to let them in.
Zhu Youzhu found a chair and sat down, and said bluntly: "I will give you another three days to rest, and after three days, you will start to work in the Qianqing Palace." ”
Li Mu'er held her chest, but she stiffened her waist and said, "What if I don't want to?" ”
"I knew you would say that." Zhu Youzhu smiled, "If it's a decree, just call Xiao Jing to come." I have come to tell you the benefits of doing so, and the terms of exchange. ”
The corners of Li Mu'er's mouth twitched, there is really no free lunch in this world: "You talk about it, I'll listen to it." ”
Zhu Youzhu and Xiao Jing glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths rose lightly with a smile: "When I came, I joked with Xiao Jing, saying that my aura is three points weaker when I speak in front of you. ”
"You don't sarcastically mock me, and if you have something to say, say it quickly." Li Mu'er was impatient.
"The advantage is that you can personally investigate the reason why your family was punished, and you won't believe what others say to you."
Li Mu'er sneered: "What is there to check?" Your emperor kills people, do you still need a reason? ”
"Maybe I don't need it, don't you need to know? You don't want to know why your dad died? Is it a fatal death? Or does the sin deserve it? ”
Zhu Youji's words were entering Li Muer's heart, of course she wanted to know! In the past, although she loved to play and make trouble at home, she was a woman after all, and she didn't know anything about the court, and her father was an official. 's father loves her very much, and she has always been meticulous in everything she needs, how can she be a bad person? If it is really a grievance, Zhu Youzhu has promised to overturn the case for himself in the Criminal Department, and now he can personally investigate, wouldn't it be convenient?
"Good! I promised to be a royal attendant and stay in the palace. What about the conditions? ”
Zhu Youzhu did not hide his triumphant expression, and said: "The condition is naturally that you can't kill me during this period." ”
"Are you stupid? This is your palace, the palace is full of your men, I have lost all my martial arts, how can I kill you. Could it be that I can still strangle you to death and smash you to death with a teacup? ”
Zhu Youzhu laughed out loud when he heard this, "I'm joking with you." The condition is that you must learn the etiquette of this palace from the Shangyi Bureau, you must bow to me, bow to me, and be your master. Another point, from now on, you can't call Li Mu'er anymore, remember, your name is Shen Qionglian, the word Yingzhong, Wucheng people. ”
Li Mu'er was sad, she didn't expect this, but when she thought that from today onwards she would change her name and surname, abandon the past, and forget herself, how could she calm down with emotion in her heart.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her churning emotions, and asked, "What about the quid pro quo?" ”
"I can let Mama Li out of the punishment department, find a place to settle down, and let her live a normal life."
"Really?!" Li Mu'er hesitated for a moment, then knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Youzhu tried his best to hold back his laughter, but he could see that he was very satisfied.
Xiao Jing couldn't help but smile lightly: "Imperial Servant Shen can really be regarded as able to advance, retreat, bend and stretch." ”
"I will learn etiquette slowly in the past three days, and in short, I will not show my feet in front of people. I know that my identity is special and cannot be known by the courtiers, and I don't want to die now, so if you don't say it, I will pay attention to it. I hope that your words count, and the people around me will die, if you can make Mama peaceful from now on, it can also be regarded as repaying them a trace of kindness, and relieve me of the guilt in my heart......"
Li Mu'er said, her eyes finally gradually reddened. Zhu Youzhu stopped laughing, he suddenly realized that he thought that making her an official was a reward, and it was easy to make her naughty, but in fact, it was comparable to sprinkling salt on her wounds, right?
Seeing that she was sad, I couldn't help but feel unbearable again, "What I promised, I will definitely do it." You are relieved, I will be waiting for you in the Qianqing Palace in three days. He looked at her deeply, and finally got up and left.
Li Mu'er exhaled and sat down on the ground.
From now on, there is no Li Mu'er in front of the world, only a simple sentence from the emperor's mouth. But can Li Muer's grievances and hatreds be easily written off...... Li Mu'er could only think about her grandmother, and she felt a little relieved in her heart......
Before dawn the next day, Li Mu'er was pulled up by the white fungus and began to dress up. Li Mu'er yawned and pulled her hair unskillfully.
Seeing this, Whitefungus commanded on the side: "Sister, you were injured before, and I combed your hair bun by the way." It's different in the future, you become a female official in front of the palace, and you have to dress up in a proper manner. I'll teach you a simple style, and if I happen to be absent in the future, you'll have to do it yourself, right? Now, look, put all your hair in the back, pull it up, put it in a nest, tie it with a strap, and button it in a bun. The extra broken hair is hidden under the bun, and finally the head is inserted on the top. ”
Li Mu'er couldn't fully understand her series of words, she only felt that she was like a yellow bird under the spring window, singing non-stop, but it didn't make people feel noisy, but lively and cute.
Li Muer felt again that when they met for the first time, they thought she was not good at talking, but she was clearly looking away.
After a lot of scrambling, she finally combed her hair in a bun, and Li Mu'er was already shaking her hands and breathing. In the past, there was a girl at home to serve, and then I always tied it to the top of my head at will, and tied a headband, which combed such a complicated head! Tremella chuckled and walked behind her to teach her, "This narrow one is in front; Those who look like hills are behind; This one has long legs, the longest one, and is stuck on top of the bun from top to bottom. ”
Li Mu'er followed the teachings, and finally put these exquisitely made gold and jade heads in the right position one by one, shook her head and said, "Look at it, you see, there are so many tricks in this palace to even comb a bun, isn't it troublesome?" As he spoke, he wanted to get up, but was held down by the white fungus, "Where is your collar?" ”
Li Mu'er touched her neck, not understanding what she was talking about. When she took a narrow white collar and folded it along the collar, she asked strangely, "Isn't this paper?"
The white fungus conjured up a gold buckle again, locked it with the paper collar, and replied: "Isn't it paper?" Change every day, save washing, and the palace people have to wear it like this. ”
What's convenient, Li Mu'er only felt that it hurt to grind her neck, and she couldn't help but reach out and pull it. But a thin layer of rice paper, where can withstand grasping, a slight touch will be wrinkled, and no matter how strong it is, it will tear. Maybe this is why this kind of paper collar is used in the palace, it is difficult to twist your head, can you not behave dignified?
After doing all this, Tremella didn't forget to add, "Sister, you will know in a while that compared to the court etiquette that you will learn next, this dress rule is much simpler!" ”
