In the twelfth year of Jingzheng, May 11, the beginning of summer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The weather slowly changed from muggy to hot, and the people in the palace began to wear light summer clothes, and even some masters could not stand the heat and took out the ice hidden in the ice storage to drive away the heat.

After Song Ran offended Aunt Qian that day, although she was not punished on the same day, she still had a seizure on this day.

Arrange for her and Baizhu to clean the aisles between the three palace walls!

Not to mention how "tortuous and long" this long aisle is, just to complete it before the masters of the palaces get up, that is, within an hour, it will cost people's lives.

That is, she and Baizhu are getting up and leaving the Zhengyi Hall from Yinshi, and they want to clean up the three palace roads before they are left and right!

Fortunately, it was not in the autumn that the leaves did not fall all over the sky, let alone the sun shining in the sky at noon, otherwise she and Baizhu would have suffered.

The sky was still a little gray, and after separating places with Baizhu, the two "parted ways".

Cleaning the palace road is nothing more than a few things, one, there must be no filth, dust in summer and snow in winter, to ensure that the master can not slip and stumble when passing by; Second, there must be no marks on the palace wall, keep it neat and clean, so that the master will not look bad.

After doing these two main things, and then asking the female official on duty in the Si Yuan Division to check and register, it is considered to have passed.

The brown-gray summer palace outfit is still a little thin in such an environment, but fortunately, Song Ran has a lot of things tied around her, and she is wiping the wall, drenching water and sweeping the ashes, so naturally it will not be too cold.

Song Ran chose the first palace wall, while Baizhu was on the third palace wall, and then the two cleaned the second palace wall together. Seeing that when it was about four o'clock in Yinzheng, there was only some final sweeping work left on the first palace wall.

Soon, it was done. Song Ran's arms were a little sore, in addition to the kung fu of wiping the wall, there was also a cloth bag tied to his arms.

In fact, Song Ran has no complaints about this job, although she did not do this job in her previous life, but on the contrary, she feels that this kind of work is quite good, at least she can move her whole body and exercise her arm strength.

Isn't she just not good at her arm?

Pack up all the cleaning tools, put them in the wooden barrel, and prepare to go to the second palace wall to join the Baizhu.

The first palace wall is divided into the Inner Chamberlain Province, the Guard House, the Zuozang Library, the Pegasus Stable and the Inner Dynasty Zhongshu Province, the Sheren Courtyard, the Hongwen Pavilion Office and other places.

The second palace wall separates the Inner Dynasty Zhongshu Province, Sheren Yuan, Hongwen Hall Office and other places from the Xuanzheng Hall and the place where the emperor of the Zichen Hall works and rests.

The third palace wall separates the harem from the Zichen Palace.

However, just as Song Ran passed through the Wude Gate and entered the second palace wall, there was a small choked sound behind him.

Song Ran turned around and saw a woman with a fallen horse bun and sideburns, a long dress embroidered with gold silk embroidered on juan yarn, her head held high, even if she looked a little sad, she still showed a noble and inviolable woman.

The women's customs of this dynasty are different from those of the previous dynasty, and the most obvious feature is that some hair buns can only be combed by high-ranking officials and nobles, and some can only be combed by ordinary people.

And this fallen horse bun is to put the hair bun on one side, which is like a fall but not a fall, hence the name.

The characteristic of this bun is that it hangs down to the side, like the feeling of the bun falling out, and if you add sad eyebrows and crying makeup, it can increase the woman's sense of charm.

Therefore, this kind of bun can only be used for princesses with grades and titles or some concubines. The Queen Mother, the Queen, and the Lady of the Decree naturally can't be combed, after all, this bun is still a little less solemn.

And the woman in front of her is about thirty years old, and the emperor is only in her thirties, this must not be the emperor's princess, let alone a concubine, don't forget that this is at the second palace wall.

Then this woman is the queen mother's own daughter, the emperor's half-sister, the eldest princess Shuning!

Song Ran immediately put the barrel behind him so as not to block the way of the eldest princess, and made a greeting salute, but did not say anything.

Because the eldest princess looked so weird, there was no one around to serve, although the makeup was not scattered, but it was obvious that the eldest princess's demeanor was wrong.

The eldest princess naturally noticed Song Ran a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have been choking quietly and swallowing tears in her stomach.

How dignified is the countenance of a princess, that she can be lost before a handmaiden?

As if she hadn't seen Song Ran, the eldest princess straightened up, put her hands together in front of her abdomen, and walked past the place where Song Ran saluted.

This stubborn appearance suddenly reminded Song Ran of a past incident.

This eldest princess has a cool temperament many times, but she is a little domineering and arrogant about the matter of the horse master. This is the twelfth year of Jing Zheng, and in the fifteenth year of Jing Zheng, there was news that the horse had raised an outer room.

At that time, this matter was very fierce, and it was not until the eighteenth year of Jingzheng that the eldest princess reconciled with the concubine.

Emperor Jingzheng originally wanted to deprive the horse master of everything, but the eldest princess finally couldn't bear to let the horse go, but his descendants could no longer enter Beijing, that is, his descendants had no chance to take the imperial examination.

She remembered that when she was serving the Queen Mother, when Emperor Jingzheng's princess was married, the Queen Mother instructed her after saying a bunch of precepts: "Don't learn from your imperial aunt, and it took three years to find out from the concubine, remember to polish your eyes." ”

According to the number of years, when Jing Zheng was fifteen years old, the eldest princess found out about the horse, but she was concealed for three years.

That is, the colt was raised in the outer chamber this year?

Song Ran's eyes stared, staring at the back of the eldest princess, although the princess looked dignified, she couldn't hide her sadness at the moment.

The only thing that can make the eldest princess such a situation is the matter of the horse. There was no outbreak of the horse this year, it must have been perfunctory by him, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have said that the eldest princess had been concealed for three years.

Because the eldest princess has not come out so far, but the concubine is making trouble because of the outer room and him, and already has a three-year-old son.

And it just so happens that this outer room woman is in the twelfth year of Jingzheng, that is, she is pregnant this year!

Suddenly, Song Ran felt that the eldest princess was a little pitiful, this eldest princess should have been high-spirited and noble, but she fell into such a fate.

What's more, the eldest princess's temperament was raised by the queen mother very well, and when she was married in the palace before, she never punished the palace slaves.

The eldest princess's atmosphere, self-confidence, and demeanor are completely different from those unruly princesses born by Emperor Jingzheng, and only the eldest princess is worthy of being a real princess.

She knew that the eldest princess had been depressed for eighteen years after Jing Zheng, and died within a few years.

However, such a woman should never be like this!

Song Ran tugged at her palms, her eyes were as firm as iron, even if she couldn't save the eldest princess, she wanted her to find herself!
