Chapter 80: Keep your distance
After the members of the Knife Sect have spoken, I am ready to stand up and say something appropriate to the situation.
My thoughts were a little confused, and I couldn't find anything to say for a while, so I just looked at the female officer silently.
Unexpectedly, in order to help me, Wei Mingzhu immediately walked up from behind me, grabbed the sleeve of the female official's coat and said flatteringly: "My lord, my lord, don't talk about Sister Xiaoling, she came to the palace, and she always thought that her favorite place to go was the Shangshi Bureau." ”
"There are no harsh size restrictions over there, my lord."
Hearing this, I couldn't laugh or cry.
The look on the female officer's face fluctuated, and she took a step closer to me and said, "You raise your head and take a look." ”
At the order, I quickly approached her generously and showed her my eyebrows at ten o'clock.
After she saw my face clearly, the corners of her mouth finally twitched: "Okay, I'll tell the kitchen, and you will send an extra meal here in the future." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, that's great." Wei Mingzhu just cheered, and immediately covered his mouth and looked at the female official like a rabbit, "I, I didn't mean to, my lord, I'm just too happy." “
The female officer exchanged a few words of greeting with Gu Qimei, and suddenly said in a kind tone: "Did your eldest sister send a letter back in Beiying?" “
As soon as these words came out, several of us looked at each other and then turned our eyes on Gu Qimei.
She stood there calmly and smiled at the female officer: "I haven't written in a few days." “
The female official looked at Gu Qimei softly, and said gently: "Don't worry, there has just been an earthquake in the north, she must be very busy." “
"The family is not worried about the eldest sister."
She speaks clearly. It's her eldest sister, but I sound like she's talking about irrelevant things. "When I went to Beiying, I knew that it would not be a short stay, and besides, there was something in the court, and it was my responsibility, and my family knew about it."
The female officer didn't drag mud and water. After asking clearly, he patted Gu Qimei's shoulder to comfort her, and led a few people below to another road with brisk steps.
The chaotic footsteps in the corridor still echoed in my ears for a while, and after a while, I gradually lost my ears.
The figure was far away, and there were girls in the room next to him crowded at the door to watch the excitement.
As soon as the female officials walked away, they began to talk about some gossip in the palace again.
The female officer who stayed in the lodgings and lived with us was of a lower rank than the Instructor and had a much gentler personality. Seeing the mess at the moment, he knocked on the door and raised his voice: "I have to practice standing tomorrow morning, and go back early to rest." ”
She finished speaking, and soon the hallway was silent.
If you say anything about the training, you don't have to take out the content of the training directly to make it more immediate. With a sense of crisis, the girls didn't have the heart to talk anymore.
It is rumored that a few of the remaining girls will have to be eliminated, depending on the table of these last days.
I think that the girls who can stay in the palace and continue to learn the rules are almost all energetic.
After the harsh training of the previous week, there are only three days left, and if you are eliminated at this juncture, it is indeed too worthwhile!
Suffer so much and suffer so much!
"Let's go," Gu Qimei grabbed Wei Mingzhu's arm and said with a wink at me and Gu Lan. "Let's talk about it when we come inside."
I picked up the tea on the table and poured a cup for each of them.
I leaned back on the stool with my teacup and waited for Gu Qimei to talk to us.
By this time. I had to look around the house where we lived, and from the small shelves with a few books to the wooden boxes for clothes, I saw that there was no sign of anyone rummaging through them.
It's all good, what I was like when I left, it's what it is now.
Under the movement at the door just now, the female officer forgot to search. Or is there another reason?
On my own side, in particular, at first I heard that there was going to be a search. I was also shocked that my luggage still had more things than other girls.
I thought about the explanation on the way. Even the exculpation was planned, and it didn't seem to work.
According to the current situation, the search of the house is fake, and counting the number of people is the most important thing for the group to do just now.
It's already dark, and if there is really any new news in the palace, I will have to wait until tomorrow morning to train in the courtyard before I have a chance to know.
One thing I know is that this kind of large-scale search is not something that a female official can call the shots, and the action means that it should be the meaning of the top.
As for this top, whether it is the empress or the emperor who is in charge of the affairs of the harem, only the female official knows!
I glanced at the thick night outside the window, and suddenly thought of a possibility, it could be that a girl from a training camp sneaked out, wandered around the palace, and then bumped into the guards.
It seems that this possibility is quite large, and I am sure in my heart after making up the picture in my head.
Everyone was preoccupied, and there was silence in the room.
Wei Mingzhu couldn't bear it, look at me, and then look at Gu Lan who lowered her head to do needlework, and her eyes fell on Gu Qimei.
She stood up, walked up to Qimei, shook her arm, and said, "Sister, why didn't you say it earlier, and you kept us all in the dark." "Your eldest sister is in Beiying, it's amazing." Wei Mingzhu grabbed Gu Qimei's arm and continued to shake it, "Sister Gu, tell us about the matter over there." “
"I heard that there is a war between the two sides"
The latter put down the book he was flipping through in his hand, rested it on the shelf on the side, held Wei Mingzhu's hand and smiled. "What do you say, the eldest sister is the eldest sister, and I am me."
Gu Qimei rubbed her hair, looked at her with affection in her tone, and quickly changed the topic without a trace, "You are also a bold person, just now the female officer wanted to train Xiaoling, and you still dare to take it all on yourself." “
Wei Mingzhu really didn't ask anymore, she turned her head to look at me, and then looked at them and shook her little fist and said: "The people who live with you want to be righteous, you see that she is so fierce, the tone of her speech is so scary, I am afraid that she will treat Sister Xiaoling" "Aren't you afraid of yourself?" Gu Lan looked at her for a long time. I'm afraid," Wei Mingzhu blushed. ran to me from Gu Qimei's chuang, drew a gourd and grabbed my arm and said coquettishly, "Sister, sister, I'm bold today, right?" "yes. I didn't expect you to be so righteous, I remember it. I smiled and looked into her fawn-like eyes. When I get to the Shangshi Bureau and go to the Lin De Hall to see you, I'll bring you two delicious snacks, how about it? "It's decided, but it's not allowed."
I rubbed her hair and said, "Why?" Both of them are witnesses, and you can rest assured that they are hard to chase after each other. “
After laughing for a while, Gu Qimei's tone paused, looked at me and said, "Where did my sister go today?" “
Didn't wait for me to speak. Wei Mingzhu smiled and said, "Sister, she ran to the forest, and we met" "Can you say?" Wei Mingzhu suddenly covered his mouth and looked at me. It's no secret that you've spoken it all. I saw Gu Qimei's expression froze slightly, raised her head and smiled dryly, "Xiao Mingzhu said so mysteriously, you are all curious, right?" "That's right. Who did you go to meet? Gu Lan looked at me with interest and asked. I didn't mean to see them," I leaned back in my chair and spoke to them. "I just got bored wandering around the yard, so I walked casually into the woods to the east."
"I've been busy practicing these days, and I don't have time to look at the surrounding scenery of the place where I live."
"I can't go out of the courtyard where I live, I think about it, or the forest in the east is suitable for walking, I don't know where it is. actually met Liang Xue. “
Gu Qimei listened attentively, and looked at me for a moment.
"I didn't know it was her at first." I frowned and said, "I heard a noise while walking on the road." At first, I thought it was a wild cat in the woods, but when I got closer, I heard it being a human cry. ”
"It's very light, it's deliberately suppressed by her, and it sounds a bit like a cat's meow." I thought about it, and the corners of my mouth curled.
"I didn't want to disturb her, so I walked back, and on the way, I met Mingzhu coming to me." "That's how it happened, Xiao Mingzhu, I made it clear enough, right?"
Gu Qimei and Gu Lan looked at each other, and their expressions seemed to be a little complicated.
"It's not good for her to do this, it's taboo in the palace." Gu Lan walked to the window, pulled up the curtain and looked out.
Since the first time I saw Gu Qimei's cautious actions, everyone has a heart, and whenever a few of us want to talk about something sensitive, we will go to the window to confirm it.
Gu Lan walked back, sat down on the side of the shop, and whispered: "The most taboo in the palace is to run around after nightfall, especially to cry over there, if you bump into a female official, you will definitely leave the palace early in the morning." "I'm not going out again, make sure to stay in the house," I patted myself with a scared look.
Gu Qimei lowered her head and sighed: "Liang Xue is probably reluctant to enter the palace. ”
"I met Xiaoling when I was in the national capital Yamen, and I felt this way at that time."
"That person, she is so good-looking, among this group of people, she is the best-looking sister I have ever seen." Wei Mingzhu said with a wink of eyes.
"You say that, where do you put us, it's my turn to go to the Lin De Palace, won't I change it with you." Gu Lan pretended to be angry and turned her head away.
Wei Mingzhu hurriedly ran over to grab her and coquettish her. "My sister is also good-looking, all good-looking."
"Sister Lan is teasing you," I smiled, "Everyone can see it, I told you Sister Gu that Liang Xue was good-looking the first day I saw her." ”
"It's good-looking, but it's cold, and you don't even smile."
Wei Mingzhu thought back to the situation just now, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, and he said to Gu Lan and Gu Qimei, "Sister Xiaoling kindly went to remind her that she was doing rounds in the yard and asked her to come back quickly." ”
"That Sister Liang still has a straight face, as if we owe her money."
"This kind of person, no matter how good-looking she is, doesn't want to approach her." "She doesn't necessarily want to get close to us, just keep a little distance." Gu Qimei said lightly to Wei Mingzhu. (To be continued)
