"Many palace maids want to be transferred to our department, for which they are full of tricks, and some even secretly bribe me, but this is useless, it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to be transferred here, because the number of places in the palm sewing department is limited, and the four who are on the job will not be easily transferred, because their skills are there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAs for you, I'm curious, the top didn't notify us to give you a test and let you come directly, in the past, people who came to work here had to go through a series of tests beforehand. Gong Wenmin said with a smile.

Gong Wenmin wanted to ask Yingsu if there was someone above, but in the end, he felt that it didn't seem appropriate to ask this just after they met, so he held back.

Yingsu is calm on the surface, but there are waves in her heart.

What is he doing this for? Do you want to test her, torture her, or spy on her?

Suddenly, the fear returned to Yingsu, because he didn't know him at all, and he could easily manipulate her.

Yingsu's heart was suddenly like thousands of ropes being tied, depressed, confused, sad, and helpless, she silently lowered her head, not letting Gong Wenmin see her flustered.

Gong Wenmin really didn't notice Yingsu's expression, she still looked at the house across the lake, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness must still be in the palace now, he is very busy, and he usually doesn't come back until the afternoon." When he comes back, he will always ask people to open the windows near the lake. ”

Yingsu smiled faintly, as if she was not listening, she was in a low mood, and a little inexplicably irritable.

She wanted to find out about it as soon as possible, and then she could do what she wanted, and it would be over as soon as possible. She didn't want to be involved with that person anymore.

However, there had been no progress on that matter until now, so she couldn't predict how much time it would take, and she didn't even know if she could find out the truth.

The word 'trapped beast' came to her mind, and she felt that it was the most appropriate word to describe her current situation.

"Have you seen Your Highness?" Gong Wenmin looked at Yingsu, who had fluttering eyes and a sad expression, and asked.

Only then did Yingsu come back to her senses, nodded her head lightly, and said, "I've seen it once." ”

Gong Wenmin smiled, as if he felt honored for her.

Yingsu's heart became more and more flustered, in order to cover it up, and in order not to let herself continue to fall into this panic, Yingsu asked: "How long has Sister Gong been in the palace?" ”

"It's been six years. At that time, His Highness was only thirteen years old, but he was already a very handsome young man. Gong Wenmin said.

In fact, she could not have said the latter sentence, Yingsu thought in her heart, but she still had a polite smile on her face.

Working time is fast approaching, and everyone immediately turns their attention to the work at hand.

Embroidery is a job that is easy for women to indulge in, and it is in line with women's nature.

Yingsu got started quickly.

Since this was Wen Yingsu's first day of work in the palm sewing department, Gong Wenmin came over every once in a while to check on her work. Yingsu knew that it was her job: not only did she check the quality of what she embroidered, but she also watched to see if she was lazy.

In Gong Wenmin's view, this kind of fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl is still uncertain and needs to be supervised frequently.

However, after a long day of observation, Gong Wenmin found that her worries were unnecessary, and the girl was so engrossed in her work that she rarely raised her head.

Gong Wenmin was immediately relieved.

In the afternoon, around the end of Shen Shi, the crown prince Zhao Yuliang returned, and as usual, Lin Jian opened the windows near the lake for him.

Zhao Yuliang glanced at the palm seam, then sat down on the back chair that was still some distance from the window, and closed his eyes slightly.

His personal maid was busy pouring him tea.

"Your Highness is back!" Someone on the side of the palm said excitedly, so the rest of the people couldn't help but raise their eyes to look over there.

Naturally, they didn't dare to go to the window to look, it would be too rude after all, and they sat in place and searched for him with their eyes.

When he saw it, he sat down in the chair he used to sit in, and opposite him stood two men dressed as officials.

Obviously, the crown prince was talking about things.

Yingsu only glanced in Zhao Yuliang's direction, and immediately took her eyes back.

And Zhao Yuliang didn't look this way anymore.

Night falls, and the day's work is over.

The people in the palm seam department left the workshop together.

As she was about to leave, Yingsu casually glanced across the lake.

I saw Zhao Yuliang playing chess. He was alone, half of his body leaning against the window, his expression thoughtful, and his figure was lonely.

Yingsu's heart moved inexplicably, and then she hurriedly pulled back her mind and turned to leave.

After Zhao Yuliang had dinner, Lin Jian stepped forward and said cautiously: "Your Highness, you haven't been to see those ladies for a long time. ”

At present, Zhao Yuliang has a total of six ladies - Wu Liangdi, Zhao Liangdi, Zhu Liangyuan, Guo Chenghui, Liu Zhaoxun, and Feng Fengyi1. Compared to the number of people in the queen's palace, this is obviously too small. But Zhao Yuliang felt that six was enough, so he refused to increase the number of people in the harem.

Although these ladies were all approved by him, however, he did not seem to like them very much, to be precise, he treated them most of the time distant and indifferent. Despite their efforts to gain his favor, little was achieved. Later, they relented a lot, but they couldn't quench their love for him.

Yes, they loved him, and there was no way they could not love him.

But obviously, it's like unrequited love, it's hard to get a response.

Lin Jian sometimes felt pity for them, and felt that the prince was indeed too indifferent to them.

Yesterday, Guo Chenghui, who was in an extremely melancholy mood, hanged herself in her room during her lunch break, and if it weren't for her personal maid who noticed it in time, I am afraid she would have died. Lin Jian knew very well in his heart that this Guo Chenghui also committed suicide because he couldn't get the prince's favor/luck.

Zhao Yuliang's eyes were still staring at the chessboard, and there was no expression on his face.

Lin Jian sighed in his heart, for the prince's ladies. But the prince has always been very hard-hearted about what he doesn't want, so Lin Jian didn't dare to persuade him more.

After a long time, Zhao Yuliang got up and said, "Let's go to Guo Chenghui to have a look." ”

Lin Jian was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes." After that, he immediately followed Zhao Yuliang out of the door.

Guo Chenghui has often been depressed since the beginning of the year, and it has become more and more serious recently. According to her personal maid, she has not only suffered from insomnia recently, but also has no appetite, and has been in a trance all day long, as if she is stupid.

The prince only learned about her hanging after returning from Wu Boping, and he didn't visit her at that time, but just asked Lin Frame to bring some things to condole.

Lin Jian took the things that the prince ordered to bring to see Guo Chenghui.

When Lin Frame saw Guo Chenghui, he couldn't help but be shocked: compared with last month, Guo Chenghui is now yellow and thin, like a flower, and his mental condition is also very bad.

However, Zhao Yuliang didn't say anything after hearing this, just waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

Fortunately, the prince is willing to go to see her in person today, otherwise Lin Jian is really afraid that Guo Chenghui will not be able to think about it again.

Guo Chenghui's personal maids saw Zhao Yuliang who was coming here from a distance, and hurriedly went in to report to Guo Chenghui. Guo Chenghui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to help her dress up.

When Zhao Yuliang came in, Guo Chenghui was already dressed up and saluted him at the door.

Zhao Yuliang glanced at her and asked, "Is your body better?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yuliang's question, Guo Chenghui suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and replied with a smile: "It's better." ”

Zhao Yuliang stretched out his hand and took her hand and said: "No matter how much you don't joke with your life, the key to whether a person's life is meaningful or not lies in how you think and do it, not by others." ”

Guo Chenghui was suddenly ashamed and scared, lowered his head and said, "The concubine's behavior yesterday was really undignified, and the concubine knew that she was wrong." ”

Zhao Yuliang looked at her for a while, shook his head and said, "There are also things that the palace has not done enough," and said: "You are not in good health, go into the house." With that, he took her hand and entered the room.

They sat side by side on the Luohan bed by the window.

Zhao Yuliang's face returned to its usual indifference.

Guo Chenghui saw that he was willing to come to visit him, and the grievances in her heart had long since disappeared, she gently took his hand, put it on her face, and said while crying: "The concubine really misses His Highness so much, and I look forward to His Highness day and night." ”

When he said that, he cried loudly.

Zhao Yuliang sighed secretly, and wanted to say a few words of comfort to her, but he couldn't say a word.

He pitied her, but he really didn't have much interest in her.

Guo Chenghui hugged his waist, kissed the placket on his chest and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to say anything, it's good that Your Highness is here." With that, he reached out to untie his jade belt.

Note 1: Liangdi, Liangyuan, Chenghui, Zhaoxun, and Fengyi are all the wives and concubines of the prince, among which Liangdi's status is second only to the crown princess, and so on.
