Chapter 10: The Thousand Autumn Season
The half day I spent with Surer was the happiest time since Sangzhi came here. She was starting to look forward to going to the Eternal Life Palace.
Although she doesn't know who Surle isβMulberry thinks of her as a Gege princess, after all, Surer is not very oldβbut Surer is special to her. This special is even more obvious when he returns to Chuxiu Palace. Yes, Sang Zhi thought, what Su Le said was right, she was not like a palace maid, and she couldn't stand the palace maid's servility and obedience.
The whole palace disgusted her.
Sang Zhi was angry in his heart, and he didn't want to stay here at all. But she couldn't help herself, and she couldn't get out at all. Chengqian Palace is getting busier and busier, Sang Zhi is not here, and has been following Tuan Tuan to do some rough miscellaneous work, but I heard that it is for the Thousand Autumn Festival, and I don't know what he is busy with. So he seized the opportunity more and more to run to the Yongshou Palace, but not every time he could see Sule. Even many times, she didn't run into Sole. It's been a month, and this month, Sang Zhi was ordered to go to Yongshou Palace several times, but he didn't meet Su Le once.
Mulberry branches are inevitably depressed. Not long after returning to Chuxiu Palace that day, I heard someone looking for me. Sang Zhi was overjoyed and thought it was Su Le, but when he thought about it, he knew that it was impossible. Surle could never have been a palace maid, and would never have come to her. When he went out to take a look, Sang Zhi was stunned, "Green warbler!" β
"Sister Sangzhi." The green warbler smiled sweetly, and when she walked towards her, Sang Zhi could see the envy of the nearby palace maids. After all, Lu Ying is the person who follows the imperial concubine, and her status is not much higher than them.
Sang Zhi was also happy, "Green Ying, I finally saw you!" β
"Are you okay?" Green Ying smiled, "I haven't taken the time to come to see you, my sister won't blame me, right?" β
Sang Zhi smiled, "How come! I understand. He added, "Thank you for the point, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be sent to Kunning Palace." β
"You don't blame me for not taking good care of you, I'm very happy."
Sang Zhi shook his head, "It's up to you to have a good time." How can I blame you. β
Green Ying was stunned, "Sister Sangzhi, you have changed a lot." She looked at Sang Zhi, "In the past, although you were older than me, you were like a child, a kind big sister, and I was always worried that you couldn't take care of yourself." Now......" she paused and looked into Sang Zhi's eyes, "you're very different from before. β
Mulberry avoided her gaze, "yes, I've changed a lot. However, there is no way to do it in the palace. β
I heard a shallow sigh from the green warbler, "That's what you said." β
Sang Zhi diverted the topic, "Why are you empty today?" β
Lu Ying said, "I've wanted to come to see my sister for a long time, but I've been busy with the Qianqiu Festival this month, and if it weren't for the Yongshou Palace, I wouldn't have found time to come here today." β
"What's wrong with Yongshou Palace?"
"It's nothing, it's just that tomorrow is the Thousand Autumn Festival, according to the system, Concubine Jing should come to the Chengqian Palace tomorrow to ask for peace, but Concubine Jing has always been ...... cough," Lu Ying paused, "The imperial concubine has always exempted her from etiquette and taken care of her in many ways, but she had to abide by the etiquette system on the Qianqiu Festival, and she didn't dare to exceed the rules in the slightest, so she sent me to Yongshou Palace to ask a question." β
Sang Zhi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said in his heart, probably because it was a heavy festival, so Concubine Jing also had to attend, but because Concubine Jing had always held a grudge against Chengqian Palace, if she didn't go to say hello and do work in advance, she was afraid that she would be embarrassed at the festival. After all, this Qianqiu Festival seems to be a very heavy festival, and the assistant harem of Chengqian Palace, in case there is a little errand, this crime is not trivial. So he groaned, "You're going to Yongshou Palace?" β
Lu Ying nodded, and sighed again, "Yongshou Palace has never given Chengqian Palace a good face, I came here to find the sisters who have been sent to Yongshou Palace to see what to pay attention to." β
"......" the corners of Sang Zhi's mouth twitched, "all the time...... I'm all there. β
The green warbler looked surprised, "It's you?" Then his face sank, "I should have expected that." People here are used to bullying people, sister, you have a soft temperament......" Lu Ying stood up, "I should have come early." β
Sang Zhi saw that her face was not good, and hurriedly grabbed her, "Green Ying, what are you going to do?" β
"Sister, don't worry, with me, how can I let you be wronged!" Lu Ying held her hand, raised her voice and looked around at the palace maids who were surrounding but did not dare to come forward, and deliberately said, "If anyone bullies you in the future, it will bully me." Her voice was really not loud, but it was loud, and for a while, all the palace maids looked at each other, and the eyes that looked at Sang Zhi were both envious and afraid.
Sang Zhi looked stunned, didn't he understand the reason for the green warbler's actions? He lowered his eyes. The fact that the green warbler can treat the mulberry branch so well shows that the original mulberry branch is indeed kind at heart and has no city government. Otherwise, how could a person who has such a light means to win the favor of the imperial concubine in a year and a half, like her? Everyone in this palace wants others to be kind and deceitful, but few people can love the good heart. The green warbler can do this, and Sang Zhi suddenly has a lot of good feelings for her in his heart. She didn't say much, only gently took Lu Ying's hand and said with a smile, "Where have you been wronged?" I'm very happy to be able to work with you in the same palace, and we'll be closer. I want to go to Yongshou Palace, but it's just running errands, and doing the same thing as everyone else, it's nothing. β
The palace maids on the side quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Tong'er said boldly, "Yes, yes, Sister Green Ying, we both have a good relationship with Sister Sangzhi. β
The green warbler glanced at her and said with a smile, "That's good." Sister Sangzhi is not a person who has lived here for a long time, sooner or later she will be with me. If you can get along well now, you will naturally benefit from it in the future. β
Tong'er was overjoyed, and she wanted to flatter her, but the green warbler grabbed Sang Zhi and said, "Since my sister often goes to Yongshou Palace, it can't be better." My sister is tired today, so let's go with me again, okay? β
There is no reason for mulberry branches not to follow. When I came out, I watched the green warbler all the way, and I sighed more and more in my heart. It wasn't until she reached no one else that the green warbler quietly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Sister, can Yongshou Palace embarrass you?" β
Bewilderment? Sang Zhi hooked his lips, "Not really." "It just nearly killed her.
"It's strange," Green Oriole said, looking at her, "I've never seen anything like it." β
Mulberry Zhi smiled.
The green warbler suddenly said, "I understand." "Self-said," It must be because my sister is too kind-hearted and has always treated people sincerely, and the Yongshou Palace is full of capable people who know people and judge people, so I probably like my sister too." β
ββ¦β¦ Hehe, maybe. Mulberry Branch's face was furious, and he thought to himself - he finally understood why Sang Zhi himself died so quickly. is too kind-hearted in the inner garden of the deep palace, how can you live for a long time? She didn't want to talk about this topic more, so she said, "What kind of festival is this Thousand Autumn Festival?" Is there such a heavy festival in October? Sang Zhi crossed his fingers and counted it, but he couldn't find a decent traditional festival in October - except for the National Day, of course, there could be no National Day at this time.
When the green warbler heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh, "Sister, don't you even know about the Thousand Autumn Festival?" She shook her head helplessly, "The third day of October every year is the queen's birthday, which is the Thousand Autumn Festival!" β
"Ah......" Kuangzhi was a little embarrassed, "I forgot." "Actually, I don't know at all. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "In other words, the day of the queen's birthday is the Qianqiu Festival, if the birthday is not on the third day of October, then tomorrow will not be the Qianqiu Festival?" β
"Nature." The green warbler is extremely patient, "The birthday days of the queen mother and the imperial concubine are called the Thousand Autumn Festival. β
Sang Zhi understood, "It turned out to be the queen's birthday." β
While talking, they had already arrived at the Yongshou Palace, and the two stopped talking and went to ask for peace.
