Chapter 9 08

I was uneasy all the way. When he was about to arrive at the gate of Yongshou Palace, he saw the two little eunuchs guarding the door from a distance, and Sang Zhi couldn't help but look around left and right, never thinking that he was subconsciously looking for Sule's figure.

Sangzhi felt that he owed her a word of thanks. In the end, Surle is a lifesaver for her. However, after looking around, I didn't see anyone other than myself. Sang Zhi felt a faint loss in his heart. She took a deep breath to suppress her fear, and stepped forward with courage. The two little eunuchs already recognized her, and hurriedly smiled, "Mulberry Girl." ”

"Hello two fathers-in-law." Sang Zhi clenched the charcoal basket in his hand and said with a smile, "I wonder if the two fathers-in-law can do a little favor?" ”

Those two little eunuchs, you look at me, I look at you, and look at her with a meaningful smile," said Miss Mulberry. ”

Sang Zhi couldn't understand their eyes, so he stuffed a few taels of silver into each of them without a trace, "Please take a break and help me send this basket of charcoal to the palace." ”

"Well......" The two little eunuchs weighed the silver separately, a little dissatisfied.

Sang Zhi hurriedly said, "Forgive me, two fathers-in-law, I just went to Chengqian Palace, and the monthly money is only five taels of silver, which is really ......" She sneered, "Overstretched." ”

The two fathers-in-law suddenly looked at her vigilantly, "What are you catching elbows?" ”

Sang Zhi was stunned and said tentatively, "Overstretched? Seeing that the two eunuchs were still dazed, Sang Zhi felt a sigh in his heart. Worst! She forgot about it, and most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace were illiterate. It is also possible that the eunuch will be gifted by the master to learn a few words, but the palace maid is never allowed to read. Unless she is a show girl, she can read and hyphenate. But usually the show girl will not become a palace maid, and even if she becomes a palace maid, she will soon be promoted to a female official.

But the habits she has accumulated over the years, how can she just change them? Sang Zhi broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly smiled, "I mean, I don't have a lot of money, and I can't buy an elbow if I catch it all together." ”

After saying that, I felt a toothache. Before the little eunuch could respond, Sang Zhi heard a laugh behind her, and she turned her head to look, "Sule! ”

I don't know where Soler came from. Mulberry was surprised and delighted, but Sol's eyes twinkled and he looked at her. Sang Zhi's face froze, she didn't know how much Su Le had heard those words just now.

Only then did the two little eunuchs say, "In the palace, you can buy elbows, and the food is set by the imperial dining room." ”

"Yes, yes, my father-in-law said yes." Sang Zhi was very embarrassed, but he wanted to make a safe appearance, "Please also ask the two fathers-in-law to do a favor." ”

Surle pressed her hand, "How can they leave their posts without permission, and why bother others when you are here?" Is it possible that every time you come in the future, you have to entrust them? Mulberry Zhi could not refute, so Su Le took her hand and walked straight in.

When he stepped on the threshold, Sang Zhi shook his body. Su Le glanced at her, and Sang Zhi hurriedly grabbed her, with a pleading eye, "Su Le! I don't dare go again. ”

"Then leave it here." Surle paused, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." She snatched the charcoal basket from Mulberry's hand and put it on the ground, "Talk to me." ”

For her words, Sang Zhi's heart was inexplicably warm, and she was dragged to the well pavilion in the southeast of the courtyard. The octagonal top is covered with yellow glazed tiles, which is a common imitation pavilion style in modern times. Yongshou Palace is a "day" shaped two courtyards, the front yard is often empty, Concubine Jing and the palace people live in the backyard, Sang Zhi is a little worried about the charcoal basket that has just been thrown on the steps of the front yard by Su Le.

Sang Zhi looked back at the charcoal basket from time to time, and Su Le couldn't help laughing, "If you don't worry, you can take it." Sang Zhi hesitated, and when he really wanted to get it, Su Le grabbed her again, "There is no one here, you really go." ”

"......" Sang Zhi was helpless, "Sule, I'm just sending charcoal." ”

Surler's expression faded, "Overstretched." ”

Sang Zhi's heart tightened, and he haha, "Hehe, the main thing is that this well pavilion is too cold." She secretly looked at Surle's expression, but saw Surle hooking her lips and staring at her with interest, "Are you literate?" ”

Sang Zhi hurriedly shook his head.

Su Le didn't ask any more, but said to himself, "Although the Yongshou Palace is deserted, it is also clean. ”

Sang Zhi was not sure of her intentions and did not dare to answer. Su Le glanced at her, "Mulberry Branch, you are safe today." When you saw me that time, you asked me to call you sister. ”

"This ......," Sang Zhi bit his lip and said in a low voice, "...... Last time, I'm sorry...... Don't dare in the future. ”

Su Le's face immediately turned cold, and it took a while to ease his expression, "What don't you dare," she flashed her eyes, "Sister Sangzhi, I'm also a palace maid." ”

Mulberry branches lowered their eyes, and their feelings were complicated. Hesitantly looked up at Sule, and saw that the girl had a hidden expectation on her face, as if she only needed to say a word to ruin Sule's beauty. Sang Zhi's heart softened, and he couldn't bear to live up to this girl's feelings, so he reluctantly smiled and moved his lips, "It turns out that you look younger than me, according to the rules of my hometown, you should be called a sister." But I'm afraid that you entered the palace earlier than me, and my sister can't afford it. ”

"Since I call you sister, you can afford it." Surler breathed a sigh of relief almost invisibly, interested in her words, "Where is your hometown?" What are the rules? ”

"My hometown," Sang Zhi couldn't help but look at the sky, "my hometown is far from here, and the rules are good. It's just that there's no going back. ”

Su Le was silent, "You can still wait for the palace maid to be released from the palace, there is a hope." "But in this life, there is no hope.

Sang Zhi was noncommittal, and said softly, "When I see that my intestines are broken, I don't look back." "Besides, I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back. Surle looked up at her, "Sangzhi, who else is in your family?" ”

"I'm an only daughter." Mulberry was a little tired, and she was a little tired of pretending when she saw Sule. Maybe they know that Solle himself is wearing a disguise, and they all have their own secrets. However, under the open secrecy of the two, they can say something at will. She turned to look at Sole, "What about you?" Where is your home? ”

"Me?" Su Le was stunned, and there was a light in his eyes, "My family is in Ke...... On the steppe. Prairie, you know what? ”

Sang Zhi saw that she looked happy, and he also became a little lighter, "I know." I've been there before. ”

"You've been there!" Surle showed a nostalgic look, "On the grassland, my equestrian skills are countable!" ”

"Really?" Sang Zhi looked at her in surprise, "I really can't see that you can ride a horse at such a young age?" ”

Surler was displeased, "Of course! ”

"When did you enter the palace?"

"At the age of thirteen. Well, I've been in the palace for four years. What about you? ”

"You really entered the palace earlier than me. I'm ......" Sang Zhi winked at her, "Well, it's a little weird, I'm afraid you won't believe it." ”

Surler was surprised, "Tell me about it." ”

"It is said that I should have been in the palace for two years, and it seems that I was selected at the age of seventeen. But unfortunately, I got sick a while ago and burned out my head, so I only remember the events of the past six months. ”

Surle looked at her suspiciously, "Burned out your head?" ”

Mulberry nodded.

"Does anyone in your family teach you to read?" Su Le smiled, "Burn your head to read?" ”

Sang Zhi didn't expect her to still go around this question, and after thinking about it, she said, "I learned a little from others, and I barely recognize a few words." He asked her, "You entered the palace at the age of thirteen, so could you ride a horse before the age of thirteen?" ”

Su Le was a little proud, "The people of my family have been riding horses since birth!" ”

"That's amazing." Sang Zhi sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Surle laughed happily. Her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her original dignified color was covered by this girl's smile, showing a little playful and proud.

Sang Zhi was infected by her and sighed, "You are only sixteen years old this year, and I ...... Nineteen. When Su Le was not on the shelf, he was really bright and lovely, and he looked a little childish, so Sang Zhi felt pity and reached out to hug her, and said with a smile, "You should call me Sister Sheng." ”

Su Le's body stiffened, but seeing that Sang Zhi's eyes were teasing, she snorted, but she didn't break free.

The two were chatting in the front yard of the empty Yongshou Palace, and before the sun was setting, Sang Zhi sighed, "Time flies so fast, I should go back." ”

The smile on Su Le's face faded, "Chengqian Palace, ......"

"Sole, smile!" Sang Zhi held her face, "You look so good when you smile." ”

Su Le curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Sang Zhi, you really don't look like a palace maid." ”

Sang Zhi looked into her eyes, "You don't look like it either." ”

They looked at each other and smiled, but said nothing more. There are too many identities and disguises in this palace for them to delve into. At least, at the moment, the two of them have no worries. They can bring joy to each other, and in this hopeless deep palace, it is a great blessing to have someone who does not have to have too much pretense.

There is no difference in identity or status, and Sura is Sangzhi's only friend at this moment.

But for Borzigit Sulter, can she be called a "friend"? She's just ...... It's so lonely.
