Chapter 2 Cousin
The female official of the Imperial Court, who was only set up in the emperor's palace, assisted the emperor in handling daily affairs.
In one sentence, it summarizes all Bai Qingting's future work in the palace.
The female officials are divided into female officials in the inner palace and female officials in the outer palace, the female officials in the outer palace are under the control of the queen, and the female officials in the inner extension are under the control of the imperial concubine, but all female officials are managed and supervised by the female officials of the acting edict.
Bai Qingting held a book about the position of female officials in the Celestial Empire, and sat in the middle of the Qinghua Pavilion in the left side hall of the main hall of the backyard of Qianlong Palace, silently making up for evil.
Seeing this, she wrung her eyebrows, and wondered in her heart, although she is not a real ancient person, but she has also seen a lot of movies and dramas in modern times, and knows that the queen and the imperial concubine in this palace have always been difficult to mess with.
Can she handle it? How dare you manage it?
In the memory of the original owner Bai Qingting, the original owner got along very well with these two great people in the harem, and they were like fish in water.
The original owner's appearance is delicate, the face is elegant, comfortable, better than a body of ice muscles and jade bones, this natural good skin makes her very happy to take a bath every day in the past three days.
The original owner is intelligent and forbearing, gentle and virtuous on the surface, humble and courteous, but on the inside he is decisive and decisive, which is also the main reason why the original owner was able to rise from a palace maid with no rank to the head of the female official step by step in the unpredictable palace like the deep sea.
Except for those who were secretly cleared by the original owner Bai Qingting for the official road, the original owner did not really offend anyone, at least on the surface.
Could it be that there are still people in the secret who the original owner has inadvertently offended? Thus inviting the disaster of killing?
I don't want to think about these yet, but the gentleness, gentleness, humility and courtesy of the original owner have to be learned.
Smart and forbearing, she thinks she is still competent enough, but she has to kill one living person after another in the modern era of the rule of law, if she has no scheming, how can she live under the noses of those stinky policemen, from the time she began to kill people at the age of twenty to the age of twenty-seven when she died.
As for the decisiveness of killing, she was very happy about this, and of course she was even more happy with bloody violence, with the way of others and with the body of others.
It seems that she has to restrain some of her nature, and not let the hasty blood destroy the gentleness, gentleness, and courtesy that she needs to maintain on the surface, just like in modern times, when she has just come out of a mental hospital, and the itchy hands that have not dissected a living person for too long make her forget her sense of proportion.
It was a pleasure to dissect three people in a month, but it was too conspicuous, so that a large number of police officers grabbed her and finally gave her her life.
Such a loss-making deal will be lost again, but there will be no second shell for her to be reborn.
Well, be cautious.
turned the page of "Female Officer", and she continued to watch it with relish.
Qin Cainu pushed the door in, sixteen or seventeen years old, petite and exquisite, quite pleasing, she stepped forward and bowed to Bai Qingting.
Bai Qingting bowed slightly, "It is said that there is no need to be so polite, there are only you and me here, and there is no one else, you call me sister again, don't bow this and that again." ”
Although she is the third grade, Qin Cainu is the eighth grade, and the grade is not one and a half, but she is not really an ancient person, so she is really annoyed by these etiquettes.
After speaking, she lowered her head, and she planted it in the book again.
Qin Cainu didn't care what she said, anyway, it wasn't the first time she said it, she only shouted: "Sister Bai, you can't sit and read like this, if you are tired, how can you wait in front of Your Majesty for four more days?" ”
Bai Qingting didn't even raise her eyelids for Qin Cainu's chatter, in the past three days, it was this Cainu who was always chattering to take care of her, although it was the emperor's order, Liu Dehai'an, the head of the Internal Affairs Department, but this Qin Cainu was sincerely thinking about her.
The only bad thing is that she shivers like an old woman at a young age.
"Where is it so delicate? We are the lives of slaves and slaves, and if it weren't for Your Majesty's grace, I wouldn't know where the bones would be. Bai Qingting said, "Let's talk about it in four days...... Okay Hui'er, you don't have to worry, my body is fine. ”
"Even if it's a good approximation, after all, it's only an approximation, and you can't be negligent if you fall from such a high platform." Qin Cainu was a serious reciting again, but she was no match for her powerful recitation, Bai Qingting had no choice but to put down the book and go back to the bedroom to rest on the bed.
During the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, she fell off the high platform of the platform for unknown reasons, but after the imperial doctor announced that her internal organs were broken and could not be cured, she miraculously came back to life.
In fact, falling from such a high platform, she felt that it should be an exaggeration to break her bones, but the fact is so strange, this body not only reborn her, but also restored the shattered internal organs.
She knows it's hard to understand and accept.
This is true in modern times, let alone in ancient times when medical skills were occluded.
Such a strange thing has been spread in the palace as early as possible, there are any ugly words, Qin Cainu intends to hide from her, but in the end she is no match for those palace maids with broken mouths, and occasionally Qin Cainu is not empty, so she sends meals to the palace maids.
Sometimes they came in twos and twos, and after bringing the meal, they went out of her room, and before they had taken five steps, they couldn't help muttering and talking together, in fact, she wanted to catch up with them and tell them that they had to go farther, at least to the courtyard of her room.
In the palace, a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, such carelessness can kill them at any time.
Of course, she wasn't that kind, but just thinking about it.
Qin Cainu tucked the quilt corner for Bai Qingting, "Sister Bai, Hui'er said something disrespectful, don't blame Hui'er." ”
Bai Qingting lifted his eyelids to look at her in surprise, nodded slightly, and this sentence was the most obedient to her ears in the past three days.
Qin Cainu continued: "This time your life is big, it is already a grace of heaven to be able to pick up a life, don't care about Bai Cainu's affairs in the future, after all, even Concubine Lin Xian can't control things, how can you manage it?" ”
It didn't match the words, but she still understood.
Because of Bai Cainu's incident, she offended people, and she was killed on the platform.
It's just that which one Bai Cainu and Concubine Lin Xian are, this has to be thought about by her.
Bai Qingting tried hard to grasp the memories of the original owner, and it took a moment to figure out something about these two people from his messy mind.
Bai Cainu, Bai Yaoguang, is actually the cousin of the original owner.
The original cousin Bai Jushan was seventeen years old when he died, this cousin was thirteen years old, his aunt died of illness in the same year, and his uncle also died of depression two years later.
After being thrown out of Dali Temple twice, Wang Yaoguang suddenly met his cousin Tomorrow Qing who was ordered to go out of the palace to buy, Tomorrow Qing at the age of fourteen did not change much from the age of twelve, except for being thinner and taller, her two faces were the same as when they met two years ago, the two recognized them one by one, she knew that her cousin was not dead, and the two sisters hugged each other and cried.
At that time, the original owner had a pseudonym Bai Qingting, she had a deep conversation with the original owner, and then settled in the lurking, no longer recklessly complained, but the two of them were weak and single, she was already just an orphan girl, and the original owner was only a Fengyi of the ninth product at this time, which was not enough to do anything.
In the next four years, Bai Yaoguang lived in Kyoto, and the four years passed in a hurry, but she and the original owner only found the Ming family's grievances.
Soon, the original owner became the female official of the previous dynasty, and the lord of Bai Yao also used the plan of Li Dai Taojiang to pass the palace as a palace maid, and climbed from the palace maid to the eighth grade of the maid in two years.
It can be said that the weight is high, and no matter how much weight there is, there is a way to ask for difficult problems.
The original owner cooperated closely with Bai Qingting Palace, and finally found out the case of fraud in the imperial examination between Ming Lou and Bai Jushan in two years, so as to lead to the cause of the destruction of the Ming family and get the truth.
Unexpectedly, the original owner had not yet begun to take revenge, but had already died.
No one knew this, and neither did Bai Yaoguang, but he was worried about the original owner's injury, but he didn't have the opportunity to meet the original owner.
Well, the original owner's cousin is her cousin, and she has to take care of it.
"How's Yaoguang?" Bai Qingting asked, she wanted to use their sisterhood, Bai Yaoguang couldn't come to visit her, what should be the obstacle, "Hui'er, in this deep palace, those who know themselves have geometry, and those who are sincere have geometry, it is really difficult, Yaoguang and I are not only friendship, but also know the sincerity of sincerity." ”
With Qin Cainu's maintenance of Bai Qingting, if she didn't confess, she was afraid that Qin Cainu would hide from her until her injuries were completely healed, but she was also afraid that by then, her cousin would have already become a dry bone.
In this deep palace, it is too possible.
"Sister Bai, you call me Hui'er, and Hui'er will do everything for you." Although Qin Cainu still had worries in her heart, she no longer concealed it: "Since this is the case, Hui'er told the truth, because of the matter of His Royal Highness the Prince's entanglement of Bai Cainu that day. ”
The reason is that more than a month ago, when the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the concubines of each palace and each palace prepared their own Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, and Concubine Lin Xian sent Bai Yaoguang to the Queen's Middle Palace Jiaofeng Palace to find a familiar girl to ask for the queen's favorite pattern, and wanted to embroider it with her own hands and send it to the queen as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.
This ceremony, the first etiquette has arrived, and the second etiquette is light and affectionate.
Unexpectedly, when he came back, it happened to be His Royal Highness Long Lang, the crown prince, who went to Jiaofeng Palace to ask for peace.
The Celestial Empire knows that Long Lang is gentle and polite, abides by the imperial law, advances and retreats in a certain way, and is really an example for the first royal family of the Celestial Empire.
Bai Qingting knew that Long Lang was actually cunning, ruthless, and fond of beauty and indulgence.
"That day, I have skillfully explained His Royal Highness the Prince's entanglement with Yaoguang." Bai Qingting thought carefully, "The words did not offend His Royal Highness the Prince, and it also showed that it would never be spread outside, so it was ......"
Qin Cainu shook her head, "No, except for you, me, and Bai Cainu, my Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother know about this." ”
Bai Qingting didn't understand, she was a slave again, and she was also a third-grade female official waiting in front of the palace, the queen and the prince should not be so unscrupulous.
Bai Yaoguang is her cousin, no one knows.
Everyone only knew that the edict of the Qianlong Palace Bai Dai was friendly with the Bai Cai girl of the Chuxian Palace, and other female officials or palace maids would not embarrass Bai Yaoguang, and the palace concubines, even the queen and the imperial concubine, tried not to face her head-on.
"After I fell off the platform, I was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as a mortal person." Bai Qingting stretched out her arm from the silk quilt, and scratched the abrasion on her right elbow with her left hand, thinking that it was almost healed, so it was so itchy, she scratched and said, "In the meantime, has the queen mother or His Royal Highness the crown prince done anything?" ”
"The queen asked Concubine Lin Xian for Bai Cainu, saying that Bai Cainu was gentle and supple, and the queen was very happy to see it, and she wanted to accept it by her side and wait with her." Qin Cainu replied, seeing Bai Qingting's actions, she hurriedly grabbed Bai Qingting's hand again: "Sister Bai, don't scratch it anymore, if you break the skin and leave a scar, it won't look good." ”
Bai Qingting followed Qin Cainu's hand and no longer tickled, and had a little understanding of the origin of the original owner's death.
