New Year's Day.

Sang Zhi was preoccupied, regretting that he did not have the courage to follow Suler's words on Chinese New Year's Eve, and even regretted why he did not agree. But regret is useless. She thought that if she had known that Su Le was the queen, and if she had known that Su Le lived in the Kunning Palace, which she hated even herself, she would have stayed by Su Le's side.

Because, what she really cares about is not glory and wealth at all, let alone climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix. What she cares about is her life, and the meaning of her life in this Forbidden City. At the beginning, when she didn't know Surle, she made all the qiē to save her life and safety. Acquaintance with Su Le made her finally find some happiness in this Qing Dynasty. What is the most important thing for a person to live a lifetime? I don't know what others think, the most important thing in Sangzhi's heart is people and love. Only when someone has affection can they be happy and meaningful, and fame and fortune are all means. She knows the relationship between the end and the end very well, so she cherishes it more and more to be able to meet Surle in the deep palace.

Originally, she didn't want to follow Surle because she regarded Solle as a close friend. However, once she follows Sule, then Sang Zhi will inevitably be Sule's slave as a palace maid. When he thought of this relationship, Sang Zhi felt a pimple in his heart. And she thinks that Surer is Gege, and she must be better than herself in life, so she shouldn't need to worry. But she never expected that Surle would be the queen.

That means that Soller's life is not good at all. Her friend, the only person she has feelings for now in the Forbidden City and even in the Qing Dynasty, and the only person she cares about, is not doing well at all. And he actually refused to accompany the only one. Sang Zhi was remorseful.

Together with the green warbler to the Chengqian Palace, the green warbler entered the inner hall to serve, and she was still doing rough work in the outer courtyard. While doing things, I thought, how to get to Kunning Palace now? After all, Sang Zhi is just a palace maid who lets people and flesh, and the power of life and death is in the hands of others, let alone which palace to choose to go to. Moreover, the palace maids in each palace are allocated according to the system, and the number of places is limited, and they have already been registered. Now there are probably only two ways to get to Kunning Palace, either the imperial concubine will send her to Kunning Palace, or the queen will ask for it. But now, neither of these paths will work. The imperial concubine Niangniang didn't know the mulberry branch at all, and the imperial concubine, who had always been cautious, would not send the palace maids of the Chengqian Palace to Kunning Palace lightly, otherwise it would not end well if something went wrong. And the queen-Mulberry couldn't help but sigh, how could Surle be the queen? She still couldn't believe it, so she couldn't help but have a fantasy in her heart, "Maybe not." You can't judge unless you see it with your own eyes. But she knew better in her heart, and it was just a fantasy, so she sighed again - she said goodbye to Surle last night, and said those words, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to see Solle again in the future.

Tong'er leaned over, "Mulberry Branch, why do you always sigh during the New Year?" This does not bode well. As he spoke, he deliberately put his wrist in front of Sang Zhi.

"Nothing." Sang Zhi was absent-minded and replied indiscriminately. Tong'er deliberately shook her wrist again, and said in a slightly exaggerated voice, "Oh, although this jade bracelet is a good thing, it is strangely cold in winter." ”

Sang Zhi raised his eyes, only then did he notice that Tong'er was proud for fear that others would not see the jade bracelet on her wrist, Sang Zhi felt funny in his heart, and said lightly, "It's beautiful." ”

"Not really!" Finding that Sang Zhi noticed it, Tong'er became more and more proud, "In the end, it is also something rewarded by the master, and the gold is expensive!" ”

Sang Zhi hooked his lips and smiled, shaking his head secretly.

Tong'er didn't care, and deliberately asked her, "Mulberry Branch, you have such a good relationship with the green warbler, what did you get for the New Year?" ”

"A garment."

"Where did it come from?"

"Green Oriole made it herself."

"Oh-" Tong'er elongated her voice, "it's still a minion's thing." There was a bit of self-satisfaction and show-off in his eyes, as if he had obtained a master's thing.

Sang Zhi only felt that her face was ridiculous and didn't care. She asked casually, "The imperial concubine rewarded you?" ”

Unexpectedly, Tong'er choked, glanced at her and said, "Although she is not the imperial concubine, she is always rewarded by the master, and she is better than you." ”

Sang Zhi felt strange, "Who else is your master besides the imperial concubine?" ”

Tong'er snorted, "My master is naturally the imperial concubine." So he stopped talking to Sang Zhiduo and continued to show off the bracelet.

Sang Zhi pursed his lips, and didn't bother to pay attention to her, just thinking about how to go to Kunning Palace now.

Before dawn, the imperial concubine went to the queen mother and the queen to pay New Year's greetings, and the green warbler was with her. Mulberry Branch saw the green warbler from a distance and couldn't help but smile. The green warbler noticed her gaze, and there was a smile in her eyes. was helping the imperial concubine out of the palace, Dong Eshi suddenly spoke, "It's cold in the morning, the emperor wants to go to see Prince Rong early, and after a while, I will tell the girl in the palace to change him into a warm coat, so as not to rush the cold to the four princes." ”

The green warbler lowered her eyebrows and replied, "Yes." Then he glanced at the mulberry branch.

Sang Zhi was stunned, but saw the green warbler beckoning to her. After a moment's hesitation, she hurried forward. Lu Ying said in front of Dong E's family, "Sang Zhi, you will go to the inner hall to spread a message in a while, so that the girls who take care of Prince Rong will remember to change a warm coat for the emperor." ”

Dong Eshi also glanced at Sang Zhi by the way, "What's your name?" ”

"Mulberry branches." Mulberry replied softly. Unexpectedly, the green warbler was frightened, and hurriedly said, "If you go back to Niangniang, the mulberry branch came out of the Xin Zheku like a slave." Hearing the green warbler bite the words "Hui Niangniang's words" and "slave maid", Sang Zhi was also stunned in his heart, knowing that he had made a mistake for a while, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Hui Niangniang's words, slave and maid Sang Zhi." ”

Unexpectedly, Dong E's had already paid attention to her because of the previous answer that did not conform to the palace rules, "Sang Zhi? ”

Sang Zhi lowered his head more and more, "The slave is here." ”

I vaguely heard Dong E's chuckle, but his tone was soft and tactful, "Raise your head." ”

"......" Hearing this sentence again, the corners of Sang Zhi's mouth twitched, but he still had to look up with his nose and nose and heart. Yu Guang saw that Dong E's expression was still very gentle, and Sang Zhi was not too afraid.

But he didn't expect that the words spoken by the imperial concubine Niangniang and Harmony made Sang Zhi tremble, "The rules were sent out before they learned well?" ”

The mulberry branch was speechless, and the green warbler was frightened.

Dong Eshi sighed lightly, "You all think that Chengqian Palace is rich and glorious, but you don't know that the more prosperous the favor is, the more you will go on the blade." In the Chengqian Palace, there is no room for a half-point difference. She glanced at Sang Zhi with pity, "After passing the word, let Mama Chen teach you the rules of the palace well." ”

The mulberry branch is like five thunderbolts. "Learning the rules" in the palace is equivalent to punishment in disguise, and "learning the rules well" is equivalent to vigorous punishment!

The green warbler looked at the mulberry branch worriedly, but she didn't dare to say a word, only lowered her head and followed behind Dong E's family. Dong Eshi took two steps, and suddenly looked back at Sang Zhi, "You're not afraid?" Don't kneel down and beg for mercy? ”

Sang Zhi forcibly suppressed the feelings, and said in a deep voice extremely smoothly, "It turned out that the slave maid didn't learn the rules well, but the mother taught me a lesson." After speaking, he knelt down without saying a word, and knelt down to send the imperial concubine like other palace maids.

Unexpectedly, Dong Eshi paused, and then asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, slave and maid Sangzhi."

Dong Eshi looked at her inquiringly for a while, didn't speak again, and turned to leave.
