Chapter 4 03
Usually Yichun treats her well, but this time she knows that she is going to Kunning Palace, so it is difficult to give a good face.
Sang Zhi sighed secretly, helpless. Xin Zheku has the most snobbish eyes, and when he sees anyone who is powerful, he will go to the knot, and when he sees someone who is down, someone will naturally step on his feet. The life of the palace maid is worthless. She was powerless to resist. Thinking about it optimistically, maybe out of this Xinzhi library, there is more room to play. After all, she is a seriously educated person, no better than these illiterate palace maids. But I knew better that these thoughts were just to comfort myself. Because, a palace maid like her is not allowed to read and write.
Most of the female officials in the inner court changed from show girls to palace maids, and then moved to female officials. was originally born as a palace maid, and even if she climbs up, she will be a four-grade Zhaoxun at most, that is, an aunt in charge, and some people are called grandma. The show girl is born differently, such a palace maid can be the highest female official on behalf of the edict, and can be named "Madame", which is the official position of the inner court of Yipin. This is also the reason why Li Yingrong is very unaccustomed to Cai Wanyun. Cai Wanyun still has room to rise, but she Li Yingrong has reached the top, and she can only be a four-grade master for the rest of her life. The only thing that can comfort Li Yingrong is that Cai Wanyun is serving in Kunning Palace, which is comparable to a cold palace, and I am afraid that there will be no chance of promotion in this life. But Li Yingrong also thought in his heart, if it was possible for her to be promoted, then the biggest possibility was in the Chengqian Palace. With the current emperor's favor for Chengqian Palace, as long as she Li Yingrong can please the imperial concubine, maybe she will accumulate blessings and go up. Therefore, there is no one more dedicated than the person she treats in the Chengqian Palace.
Sang Zhi came back to pack up her things, and like Yichun, the palace maids who were still close to her were eager to stay away from her at this time. Xin Zheku pays attention to luck, and Sang Zhi has now gone to Kunning Palace, which is the bad luck of a cold palace, and everyone is reluctant to get close to her. There were even people who ridiculed her, saying that she had ruined everyone's luck here.
Sang Zhi secretly felt ridiculous, but he didn't care about their attitude. In her opinion, these palace maids are also poor people. He entered the palace at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and he didn't know anything but to serve people, and he was full of servility when he was conditioned. And they are all good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and everyone seems to be different, but in fact, they are all the same slaves, and they have developed the habit of groveling and holding high and stepping low.
When dreaming back at midnight, Sang Zhi often thinks that feudal society is terrible. She hated that she was so unlucky, that a good young woman would inexplicably wear such a place to be a palace maid, like a nightmare that she couldn't wake up.
In the second moment, she and the other three stupid palace maids listened to Li Yingrong's routine lecture.
"You can be considered to have survived, Kunning Palace is a good place to go, in the future, you must be cautious when you get there, keep your mouth shut if you shouldn't ask, and treat yourself as a blind person if you shouldn't look. If anyone goes out and loses someone to me, and then throws it back to the Xinzhiku, you all know what we have here. Li Yingrong was not in a hurry, and said creepy words like a family chatter, "Out of here, even if you die outside, I don't want to see any of you come back." From now on, you will live in Chuxiu Palace, which is where the royal servants live. I won't say more, you can do it yourself. ”
Sang Zhi and the other palace maids bowed their heads and saluted respectfully, "Yes." Thank you, slave, for teaching! Ask the boss to beat us and scold us! ”
This kind of rule is really perverted. Every time the palace maid who leaves the Xinzhiku has to say these words routinely, the implication is to never forget the rules of the Xinzheku. Sang Zhi thought to himself, he didn't regard the palace maid as a normal person at all, she was just a plaything of enslavement, and it was really sad to look at. Even more tragic is that she herself is among them.
Li Yingrong took a stuffy stick and beat each of them three times on the back. This kind of pain is a heart-piercing pain, but the palace maid is never allowed to make a sound when she is beaten, no matter how painful it is, she has to endure it, otherwise it will be undignified, and the beating will be even harder. Sang Zhi saw Li Yingrong's stuffy stick coming to her, and she just couldn't take that step forward. It's perverted. But it was this hesitation that made Li Yingrong's face change, "Mulberry branches." ”
"Yes."
Li Yingrong looked at her for a while, and suddenly raised his hand and hit her back with a heavy stick, which hit Sang Zhi in the throat. But she was as silent as other palace maids. Sang Zhi felt that she was finished, this stick was so heavy, it seemed that she had offended her just now. According to this style of play, if you go down with three sticks, it is a matter whether you can stand or not. She gritted her teeth and waited for the last two sticks, but she didn't expect Li Yingrong to fall lightly after the last two blows, as if she hadn't hit. She looked up in surprise and looked at Li Yingrong. happened to bump into Li Yingrong's meaningful eyes, but in just a moment, Li Yingrong's face changed, "Who taught you the rules, you dare to look at people's eyes!" ”
Sang Zhi's heart jumped, and the secret path was not good. Knowing that she had committed a big taboo, although she wanted to kneel, her knees seemed to be tied straight, making it difficult for her to bend her knees. She hesitated for a few more seconds, Li Yingrong's face was extremely ugly, Sang Zhi saw it from the corner of his eye, his heart rose to his throat, and he gritted his teeth and knelt down, "The slave knows her mistake!" ”
Li Yingrong sneered, "What a big demon guts! Dare to make waves in front of me. As he spoke, he handed the stuffy stick to the eunuch on the side, "Hit." ”
The light fluttering word came out, and the mulberry branch straightened up. She didn't dare to look up, and caught a glimpse of the eunuch with a stuffy stick, and secretly complained to herself - it turned out to be Zhou Cheng, who was not used to seeing her. Sang Zhi gritted his teeth, he was only afraid that he would be less auspicious this time. Again and again, the sticks fell on her, and the smell of blood was already in the throat of the mulberry branch. Her consciousness gradually blurred, and she vaguely heard Cai Wanyun's words, "Li Zhangshi, what do you mean by this!" This little girl is the person I chose, you beat her like this, how can I take her. ”
Li Yingrong said, "Female Official Cai doesn't pay attention to this. As long as I don't have a library, I have the responsibility to discipline them. Besides, I hit her naturally because she didn't follow the rules. If Lady Cai takes her out, won't you blame me for it? ”
Cai Wanyun looked at her coldly, "Then thank you to Master Li." ”
"You're welcome, you should be." Li Yingrong asked Zhou Cheng to stop.
Cai Wanyun indifferently glanced at the mulberry branch who had fainted to the ground, "Since it is so useless, let's stay in Xinzheku and learn the rules." So he took the others with him.
Sang Zhi didn't expect that he would be a blessing in disguise, is this stuffy stick a loss? She had a fishy sweetness in her mouth, and when she woke up, she found herself alone and lonely. I couldn't help but sigh softly, if only the green warbler was here. After a few days of cultivation, when I can move around in my body, I will have a mountain of chores to do. Yichun and the other palace maids were still reluctant to approach her, thinking that she was unlucky. She didn't care, she didn't have anything to say to these girls, just listen to them talk about some gossip.
"Sang Zhi, the boss is looking for you." Zhou Cheng's face was impatient, but his eyes were not as disgusted as before when he spoke, and he was a little evasive. The mulberry branch is unknown. Yichun watched from the side and whispered, "I'm afraid I'm not committing any taboos again." "Ever since Sang Zhi was going to Kunning Palace, she had been pasted with a capital "decay" on her body by the palace maids, as if she was not doing anything well.
But Sang Zhi looked at Zhou Cheng's expression, but felt that things might not be so simple. Zhou Cheng is the most snobbish, but he doesn't dare to be so blatantly disgusted with himself...... Sang Zhi felt that this time might be a good thing. Although I think so, I am still apprehensive.
When he arrived at Li Yingrong's room, Sang Zhi didn't dare to move, "I've seen the master." ”
"Hmm." Li Yingrong glanced at her lightly, "Do you know why I blamed you last time?" ”
"Back to the charge, it was Sang Zhi who was unruly and committed a taboo." Mulberry branches look at the nose and nose and heart, and look like a rule.
Li Yingrong looked at her carefully, "I originally thought that you have grown a lot in the past six months, who knew that you were a piece of mud that couldn't support the wall." Who are you a noble lady who can't kneel with gold hidden in your knees? Li Yingrong said sharply, "After learning the rules for two years, you still dare to look at people's eyes indiscriminately, if it weren't for the green warbler pleading in every way, I would have sent you away." ”
I see. Sang Zhi's heart warmed, and he suddenly understood the reason why Li Yingrong punished her. Even if she didn't commit a taboo that day, I'm afraid she would inevitably eat stuffy sticks. Only by injuring her can she be spared Kunning Palace. She bowed her head and said, "Mulberry knows what is wrong. ”
"You can't avoid that punishment, but I didn't expect to commit a taboo."
Sang Zhi said, "The person in charge of beating Sang Zhi is for the good of Sang Zhi." Sang Zhi was grateful to the master. ”
Her voice fell for a long time, and Li Yingrong was not seen. When she was puzzled, Li Yingrong came over and leaned over to look at her, "In the past six months, you seem to have changed people, although the rules are not very simple, but you don't know how much smarter you are than before, but you seem to be a malleable talent." ”
Sang Zhi was bluffed, could it be that Li Yingrong saw something? The people who can achieve the position of Li Yingrong are both superstitious and sophisticated, and they may be able to think of other places. She tensed.
However, this nervousness fell in Li Yingrong's eyes, which made Li Yingrong smile, "It seems that people are not born stupid, they just fight less." Thou hast eaten too much with a stick, and thou hast opened up thy heart. ”
Sang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a blessing to be in charge, although Sang Zhi is stupid, but he has been taught by the master carefully, and everything is taken as an example by the master, so naturally he has barely learned to act in charge." ”
Li Yingrong laughed, "The little mouth is sweet." However, this is not true. You don't have enough pounds in my eyes. She waved her hand, "Go down." In the future, learn the rules carefully, and in a few days, I will send you out of the Xin Zheku. ”
"Thank you." Sang Zhi couldn't say joy or worry in his heart. In this inner court, she is only at the mercy of others. But I also know that now I can be in charge of this promise, and it must be the green warbler who has made a lot of efforts. I miss the green warbler even more in my heart.
Li Yingrong looked at her unhappy and fearless look, and her eyes became deeper and deeper.
But Sang Zhi didn't expect that she would be sent to Chengqian Palace a few days later. In addition to leaving the palace, this is also a great joy for Sang Zhi. Because she knew that the green warbler was here to serve.
