Chapter 8: Misfortune Strikes

"Yin Guifei has arrived." A chanting voice was heard.

The pedestrian was already near, and was led by two palace maids holding lamps, and the four of them walked in it with their chariots, followed by two eunuchs.

The leading eunuch signaled the show girl to retreat to both sides of the road, and Qi Fu.

Qi Zheng raised his eyes slightly, and the shadow in the veil leaned obliquely on the railing, as if taking a nap. It turned out that she was the Yin family that her father said. Qi Zheng didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly sank his head when he walked in front of him.

A silk handkerchief flew out from the chariot, fluttering and falling, Qi Zheng only felt that there seemed to be a light wind beside him, and in a blink of an eye, Yun Qingqi stepped forward to pick up the silk handkerchief that fell on the ground, and walked quickly to the front of the chariot, blocking the palace maid who led the way, and the car stopped.

"What?" Concubine Yin in the curtain closed her eyes and asked lightly. The eunuch who was waiting beside him hurriedly replied: "Qi Yu Niangniang ......." ”

Yun Qing held the silk scarf on the palm of his hand, slowly knelt in front of Yin Guifei's car, interrupted the eunuch's words and said: "Niangniang's silk handkerchief has fallen, and the slave maid has picked it up and returned it to Guifei Niangniang." ”

Concubine Yin put down the hand supporting her head and patted the railing. The eunuch carrying the sedan chair slowly lowered his steps. The eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly walked to the front of the chariot, stretched out his hand and bowed, and helped Concubine Yin to get off the chariot. Wearing a royal blue embroidered begonia brocade skirt, the skirt is behind it, and a golden hairpin is obliquely inserted in the high bun. After getting off the sedan chair, his eyes swept the show girls who were saluting on both sides, and said, "Get up." He walked up to Yunqing again and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Qi Zheng got up and stood in place, with her head down, Wen Yue turned her head and frowned at Qi Zheng, Qi Zheng shook her head lightly, and Wen Yue sank her head.

'Yun Qing doesn't want to slap Concubine Yin, in my opinion, this Concubine Yin is not a good trick, Qing'er is really too angry. Qi Zheng thought to herself.

"Courtier, Shen Yunqing." Yun Qing bowed his head and said.

Concubine Yin nodded: "The name is not bad."

Listening to Concubine Yin's tone, there was no meaning of anger and blame, and Qi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Smack." Concubine Yin waved her hand and slapped Yun Qing's face hard, Yun Qing was fanned and fell backwards, covering her beaten face with one hand, leaning on the ground, tears couldn't stop pouring out, and the silk handkerchief fell in front of Concubine Yin.

Qi Zheng's heart suddenly tightened, but he couldn't think of any way to help Yun Qing, so he had to stand there, with his head down and not daring to raise it.

Yin Guifei looked at Yun Qing who was lying on the ground, raised her foot and stepped on the white silk handkerchief, and sneered: "You are so bold, you dare to pick up things that this palace doesn't want." ”

Yun Qing hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and cried and said: "The courtiers didn't, the courtiers thought that the maiden accidentally dropped it, so she picked it up and returned it to the maiden." ”

Concubine Yin leaned over and held up Yun Qing's chin: "Heh, you dare to talk back, you think you are so arrogant because you have a little look, since you want the things of this palace so much, this palace will reward you." With that, he reached out and pulled out the golden hairpin on the bun, broke Yunqing's hand, held the hairpin obliquely, and the tip of the hairpin slashed through Yunqing's palm.

"Ah......h I only heard Yunqing's scream, and then cried: "Niang Niang spare your life, Niang Niang spare your life." ”

Yun Qing left a blood-red wound on his hand, oozing blood outward, dripping on the ground drop by drop.

"Yo, it seems that this palace is really tired, and he is so careless even to give something, and he accidentally cut his hand." The corners of Concubine Yin's lips hooked up with a smile, and she looked at the eunuch behind her and said, "If you don't wipe her quickly, just use this." With that, he raised his feet and looked at the white silk handkerchief that had been trampled on the ground, and there were many stains on it.

"Yes." A eunuch answered, picked up the silk handkerchief, walked in front of Yun Qing, and wiped the wound on Yun Qing's palm with a dusty silk handkerchief.

Yun Qing shouted in pain, tears welled up, and Concubine Yin stood aside and watched with a smile.

"Okay, wipe it clean, let's go back to the palace." As she spoke, Concubine Yin turned around and threw the golden step in her hand to Yun Qing's side.

Yun Qing looked at the injured hand, even if there was a thousand kinds of pain, it was difficult to say it now.

Concubine Yin moved a few steps and turned around: "What, don't you thank you yet, do you still want this palace to teach you?" ”

Yun Qing shook his head, sat on the ground, and lowered his head slightly: "Xie Niangniang...... Xie Niangniang's reward. ”

Concubine Yin looked at the leading eunuch again: "Gonggong Guo, the rest will be handed over to you." He looked at the show girls standing next to him and said, "These are the show girls of this year?" You have to tell Aunt Nian to teach them the rules of this palace. "Anyway, flick your sleeves.

"Yes, the slave understands, please rest assured." Guo Gong is fair.

"Get on the road." The eunuch beside him shouted.

Concubine Yin's drive slowly walked forward.

Everything just now was a nightmare for Yun Qing. Wen Yue watched Concubine Yin leave, and wanted to step forward to help Yun Qing, but her hand was grabbed by Qi Zheng, who held Wen Yue's hand tightly, signaling her not to be as impulsive as Yun Qing.

Gonggong Guo walked in front of Yunqing, leaned over and took her hand to look at it, and shook his head: "Yo, the wound is so deep, how can you serve the emperor." ”

Yun Qing still looked at the palm of his hand, tears falling like beads.

"Come on, send her to the Huanshang Bureau, hurt like this, what kind of show girl are you doing." Gonggong Guo got up and commanded.

Two little eunuchs came up and pulled Yun Qing up.

"No, my father-in-law will give me another chance." Yun Qing cried out.

Guo Gonggong waved his hand: "Take it away." ”

The two little eunuchs dragged Yun Qing down.

"Alright, let's go." Gonggong Guo led two columns of show girls to continue to move forward.

The show girls turned around and walked, talking a lot.

Wen Yue said, "Why doesn't my sister let me help Yunqing?" ”

"Did you help her, not only can't you help, but you have to take it with yourself." Qi Zheng calmed his head and said lightly.

"But Yunqing just picked up the wrong thing, so the concubine doesn't have to be so heavy."

"Yunqing didn't pick up the wrong thing, it's a pity that she picked the wrong place and the wrong person, how could the concubine be willing to accept her favor, even if it was a small matter like picking up a silk handkerchief, she would never owe the slightest affection." Qi Zheng said helplessly.

"Okay, it's quiet, you all saw it just now, this is the palace, what should be done and what should not be done, think about it yourself, don't hit the tip of the needle, offend your lord, and ask for your own hardship." Guo Gonggong said.

Only then did the show girls fall silent. Qi Zheng turned his head to look at the mottled blood stains just now, and shook his head helplessly, "Here, that's it, I've already been

Thinking that Yun Qing shouldn't be angry with Chen Xiying, he wants to seize every opportunity to find a backer, here, it is unfathomable, and people's hearts are unfathomable. 'Turn around and move forward quietly.

Walked to the end of the red wall, turned a corner and walked forward for a while, walked to a palace gate, crossed the threshold, it was still a vacant lot, and the palace in front of it was written with the words "Chu Hui Palace".

A female official in dark green palace clothes led five palace maids to greet her and saluted Gonggong Guo.

Guo Gonggong said: "This is this show girl, just now a famous show girl was injured by her skin and it is difficult to continue the draft, our family has made another arrangement, and these twenty-nine show girls will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes." The female officer replied.

Guo Gonggong walked out the door.

Thirty show girls stood in place and waited quietly, and the female official saluted and said: "Slave maid Nian Jin'an, she is the aunt in charge of this Chu Hui Palace, and these five palace maids are serving the little masters. ”

The show girl bowed and said, "Aunt Nian is good." ”

"The little masters have worked hard, go down to rest today, and start learning the rules of the palace early tomorrow morning, okay, the little masters live in five palaces, Chen Xiying, He Youzhu, Fu Qizheng, Tong Shujin, Wen Yue, Du Xirui, live in Lanxia Palace, follow Dongmei."

Qi Zheng and they followed the palace maid Dongmei into the Lanxia Palace, the hall has been lamped, the bed is set up against the wall, and a round table is placed in the middle. Each of the six people picked a bed and sat down to rest.

"What a coincidence, we met again, and this time we live in the same hall." Shujin looked at Qizheng and Wen Yuedao.

Qi Zheng smiled lightly and did not speak.

Dongmei brought hot water, and after a freshening up, she rested when everything was done, and Shujin saw that she was like this, so she fell asleep.

"Sister, are you sleepy?" Wen Yue looked at Qi Zheng who was making the bed and asked.

Qi Zheng didn't look up, and said lightly: "Go to bed early." After cleaning up, he looked at Youzhu who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Youzhu that day, I never had time to thank you." ”

"Yes, thank you, Sister Youzhu, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be blessed to sit here now." Wen Yue said.

Youzhu smiled and said: "I just happened to pass by that day, it's just a trivial matter, no need to thank you, I'll sleep first, you can talk." ”

Qizheng nodded, and looked at Wen Yue again: "Let's sleep too, don't think about Yunqing anymore." ”

"Sister, Qing'er will be fine." Wen Yue asked.

Qizheng shook her head lightly: "I don't know, I hope she can be safe." ”

"Are you talking about the punished show girl, she offended Yin Guifei, and I'm afraid it will be sad in the future." Du Xirui said.

Qi Zheng looked at Xi Rui: "Xi Rui, do you know Yin Guifei?" ”

Xi Rui smiled: "Can you remember that my name is Xi Rui, can't you guess Concubine Yin's temperament and why she did that just now?" ”

Qi Zheng nodded slightly: "Just guess a little, it's just that Concubine Yin has already punished Yun Qing so heavily, won't she let her go?" ”

"It's not that Concubine Yin Guifei won't let her go, but that others will not let her go for Concubine Yin, within this red wall, those who fall off the cliff don't want to grab the life-saving vine, even if they do, someone will cut it off." Xirui sighed. Wen Yue listened to what Xi Rui said, and hurriedly said, "Isn't that Qing'er ......?" He paused in the middle of his sentence.

"Hey, it's more than lucky." Xirui shook her head and said.

Qi Zheng didn't speak, and sat on the edge of the bed, 'It seems that even if you want to help Yun Qing, there is nothing you can do, maybe Yun Qing's life should be like this, and he finally passed the primary election, but he didn't even step into this Chu Yu Palace. He raised his eyes and looked around.

Wen Yue looked at Qizheng and also looked around: "What is my sister looking at?" ”

Qizheng came back to his senses: "I didn't see anything, everyone is asleep, turn off the lights, as for Yunqing, I will find a chance to see her in the future, and then think of a way." Then he walked to the lamp and blew out the candle.

Qi Zheng was lying in bed, unable to sleep, 'Today is less Yunqing, then, what about tomorrow ....... ’
