A dark passage that seems to have no end at all. There is no future, no hope, only endless pain and sorrow, and I always vaguely feel that someone will hold my hand, but when I look around, I can't find that person, and I can't even remember the person's appearance and name.

Lonely, suffocating, as if she could never get out of the despair, tears can't stop wanting to flow, only she can't find a place of peace in the world.

"Acacia...... Acacia? ”

The voice in his ears was extremely gentle, and Acacia frowned and tried to open his eyes.

"What's wrong? Do you have nightmares? ”

When she woke up, her mind seemed to be blank, the darkness of the nightmare faded, the bright sunlight came in through the car window, and the hand that vaguely wanted to hold was holding a handkerchief to wipe the tears on her cheeks.

Don't think about this person's name, don't think about what the situation is now, Acacia closed her eyes and stretched out her hands to hug this person who made her feel at ease, it was really just a nightmare before.

Mo Liang touched Acacia's hair, and said distressedly: "The people in this palace really said that one is one out, and they said that they had to get up early in the morning to enter the palace, and no one woke up." ”

Acacia's brain, which had been suspended for a long time, finally turned around, it turned out that Concubine Miao in the palace yesterday asked her to come over and say hello, saying that she was going to talk with her, and it was early in the morning that the carriage was ready to enter the palace. Mo Li shouldn't have come, but he couldn't rest assured of her, so he came out with the car.

"I'm fine......" just fell into a nightmare, which was common in the previous life, but it is less in this life.

Mo Li looked at Acacia's accustomed appearance, frowned, touched Acacia's forehead and said, "Didn't you say that Concubine Miao is good?" If you don't feel well, tell yourself and go back next time. ”

"It's not that you haven't entered the palace, no matter how kind the people in the palace look like, they can't tolerate others to gain an inch. Besides, I just didn't sleep well yesterday and fell asleep in the car, not as strict as you think. Acacia shook his head and stretched out his hand to get water, and a mouthful of sweet spring water went down to his stomach, and people were much more sober.

Mo Li stretched out his hand and took some small dots and put them in front of Acacia, turned his head to look, and the palace was already not far away.

"The list has not been released just after the autumn season, and most of the students are going out to walk around, you have escorted the eldest brother back to my grandfather's side, what else can you not relax, it is better to take the opportunity to socialize with people more. A while ago, I heard that you don't have a good relationship with your aunt, and I'm afraid of being criticized. Acacia always feels that Mo Liang has been pestering her for a longer time recently, although she is very happy that Mo Liang can accompany her all day long, but in the end, the time is not for them and they have not married.

"Why should I go out and walk around?" Mo Liang sat beside Acacia and said with a smile: "The sooner I am about to release the list, the more I can't move around." ”

Acacia was puzzled.

"The emperor's suspicion is not light, and there are only so many people he can use, but he can't afford to lose more and more." Mo Li said in Acacia's ear, and secretly dipped his lips in Acacia's ear.

Acacia blushed, covered his itchy ears and glared at Mo Li, this person has really learned badly recently.

"If there is no accident, even if I can't get the first grade, I will definitely be a lifter, and I will take the exam next year, and the examination will be invigilated by the Ministry of Rites, no matter whether I pass or not, the emperor will put me in the household department." Mo Li folded his sleeves and spread them at his side, and gently put his head on Acacia's shoulders.

"I thought he was going to let you in?" Only if you can try to pass guò will you have the opportunity to test the palace, and then the emperor will have a fight, and there are not many people trusted by the emperor, and now the court is more inclined to the prime minister, and the cabinet is almost like a fictitious.

"If you don't have any money in your hand, what will the emperor do in power?" Acacia closed his eyes and asked casually: "Turn over the New Year, are you fourteen?" ”

Acacia answered.

"After the autumn list is released, the emperor will give marriage, waiting for you to marry as soon as we meet."

Acacia turned his head sideways to look at Mo Li, who seemed to be indifferent to the marriage, but found that his ears and neck were red, like cooked shrimp, one hand was placed on the side of his leg, the hem of the clothes under the sleeves was pulled into a ball, and although his eyes were closed, his eyelashes were trembling slightly.

Unconsciously showing a smile, Acacia leaned over and touched the sun-stained face lightly.

The palace is still the same, the palace maids and eunuchs back and forth with a smirk, the air is filled with a depressing smell, obviously many people's palaces, but in the eyes of Acacia, it looks like a dead city.

Concubine Miao is still so approachable, and she is in trouble with the palace maids, except that she can't go out to enjoy herself. Acacia feels good about her, at least if it weren't for her last time, she wouldn't have been able to get out from under the nose of the Queen Mother, and things in the future would not have been as smooth as now.

"I didn't expect you to come last time, but now you are a member of the family." Concubine Miao took Acacia's hand.

Acacia didn't say goodbye last time, and inevitably apologized: "I ...... that night before"

"I know everything, I know ......," Concubine Miao said empathetically.

Acacia didn't say much when she saw this, just chatted with Concubine Miao about all kinds of vegetables in the yard as usual, and I don't know if it was because of the second meeting, Concubine Miao said more, talking about love at first sight between Princess Yang and Prince Li, and talking about Princess Yang's fear that Prince Li would be liquidated by other princes if he was not in good health, so he cultivated a lot of subordinates, most of these people can't be found out now, but Princess Yang is kind to them.

"You probably know I'm a fake." Acacia wiped the sweat on his head and smiled: "No one has looked for me, and no one will look for me." ”

Concubine Miao nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you think so, everyone says that people go to tea and cool, Sister Yang has passed away for so long, and I don't know if anyone will remember her in the future." ”

Back in the hall, Acacia saw that Concubine Miao was packing up her things, and she inevitably said strangely: "Niangniang, this is going to move?" ”

"There's a caravan going south lately, and I've got something for them to bring to my son." Concubine Miao mentioned that her son was full of tenderness.

Acacia also went back to inquire before, Miao Taifei's son is younger than the emperor, after the first emperor went, the queen mother and the prime minister supported the emperor to ascend the throne, but Miao Taifei's son was sent to the fiefdom in the area of Miao Nan by the prime minister as soon as he became an adult, the place is plagued by insects and ants, and there are many miasma, it is said that the poor mountains and bad waters are also out of the Diao people, and there are more than a dozen magistrates who have been poisoned to death.

Concubine Miao's son was unmarried when he went there, and then it is said that he married a local girl, and he didn't forget his mother who was still in the deep palace on weekdays, in addition to paying tribute to some medicinal herbs, he also secretly asked people to bring some in for Concubine Miao.

"There aren't many fine cotton like this in that place, and the climate is too humid......" Concubine Miao pointed to the burdens one by one, preparing everything she could think of.

The sky is different, but they are always concerned about each other, Acacia rubbed her chest, she has lost this kind of concern for Guan, presumably Guan's will never miss her.

Seeing that Concubine Miao began to be busy, Acacia just found an opportunity to say goodbye, she and Aunt Lan came out of the hall, and made an appointment to enter the palace again in a few days, Concubine Miao lived alone for too long, and she didn't have a princess by her side, Acacia is the person who has been most attached to her recently.

"Who are you? Didn't you see our Jieyu from here? Why don't you kneel? ”

Acacia was talking to Aunt Lan, and a woman who looked like a palace maid walked over and asked proudly.

Acacia only felt strange, and when he looked down and saw that his clothes did not look like palace maids, he said lightly: "Who are you, you don't salute me when you see me?" ”

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, obviously she had never seen such an ignorant and interesting person as Acacia, and snorted coldly: "Which green onion are you, why should I salute you?" ”

Aunt Lan was about to step forward to scold, when she heard a delicate voice not far away: "Okay, it's right not to salute, I'm just a little Jieyu, she is the body of the county lord, I can't afford to hurt it." ”

Acacia didn't recognize this person at first, firstly, her painting was too thick, and secondly, the gold and silver jewelry at that end could be regarded as making people "unable to take their eyes off", so that the pomegranate that had been following behind Acacia trembled, and quietly pulled Acacia and said: "This is the Tian beauty before." ”

Acacia took a closer look again, and then he saw it clearly, but he hadn't seen him for a while, and he had changed from the daughter of the prefect to the county lord, and this little beauty who almost smoked the cheeks of the pomegranate actually became Jieyu.

At this time, Acacia deeply doubted the emperor's taste.

"It's been a long time since the county lord has been seen." Acacia doesn't remember people, but people seem to remember her.

Acacia bent his knees and said, "It's been a long time." ”

"That day, I felt that the girl was really handsome, very ......," Tian Jieyu touched her nail covers, stared at Acacia's cheeks, and said malice: "Now I look at it, it's really tender, and I can pinch out the water." ”

Pomegranate was very nervous standing behind Acacia, but couldn't help but want to stand in front of Acacia.

Tian Jieyu saw the pomegranate's small movements, and chuckled: "I'm really a loyal girl, but I won't treat your master well, no matter what, aren't we all a family?" ”

Acacia stretched out his hand to stop the pomegranate.

"Tut-tut...... It is said that the face of the county lord is exactly the same as that of Prince Li and Princess Li...... "Tian Jieyu walked up to Acacia step by step, her eyes were unstoppably jealous, she stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch Acacia's face, "It's really unforgettable to see......"

"I'm afraid it's not too early." Aunt Lan grabbed Acacia's hand and took a step back, and then saluted: "The concubine is still waiting for the slave to go back to her life, and she still hopes that Jieyu will atone for her sins." ”

Tian Jieyu's hand was empty in mid-air, and her face was distorted for a moment.

"It's okay, we'll be here for a long time."

Acacia and Aunt Lan hurriedly bypassed the imperial garden and walked towards the palace gate through another gate.

"The last time I saw her, she was still a beauty, but I didn't expect to become Jieyu now." Thinking of the moody Jieyu just now, he felt uneasy in his heart.

Aunt Lan whispered: "It is said that her brother used to release the fief of King Guangjun, and now it seems to be developed. ”

King Guangjun is a member of the royal family, and the location is relatively far away, plus Kyoto is almost the prime minister's world, he wants to stuff people into the palace, and he can't be blatant, and it is also a way to pinch this Tian Jieyu in his hand at this time. The emperor recently set up this Jieyu, and it is estimated that there is also a balance between the two.

"Things in the palace are too complicated, the girl should be careful when she enters the palace in the future, don't be alone, the slave and maid will follow the girl." Aunt Lan advised.

Lovesickness is the hope that it will never come again for the rest of its life.
