"Yanjing?" It was the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ancient capital of the Three Dynasties, and a prosperous place. How many masterpieces have been handed down from generation to generation, and they have all emerged from Yanjing, and then they have been heard all over the world. She also longed for such a beautiful place, how brilliant and majestic it should be, and how to accumulate the essence of the ages. However, in this world now, there is also the most turbulent undercurrent, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

"Not really. I can't give up the peace and happiness in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone my parents and brothers at home. I really feel curious, and I can also find Danqing poems, and I have to taste them in my spare time. There is always a thought in my heart, even if I can't achieve it, I can draw it according to my own preferences in my heart. Be clear and quiet, stay away from right and wrong, what's so bad. ”

She smiled slightly, held the tea cup, did not eat tea, looked at the patterns painted on the blue and white tea bowl, and turned and played with it in her hand.

I don't know his intentions, and I speak very straightforwardly.

He looked at her quietly. She has the graceful and tranquil beauty of a Jiangnan woman, who should be the same as a woman of the same age, holding an oil umbrella in the rainy season, along the winding river embankment, weeping willows, sparkling and vast, and she is comfortable to enjoy the flowers and willows, and feel comfortable. Or Chongyang ascends, inserts a dogwood in the sideburns, invites the girl in the house to be together, and frolicks in the stone pavilion in the middle of the mountain to taste a sip of sweet chrysanthemum brew.

She is a person who is willing to live in peace, but her luck is not good, and she cannot be allowed to hide from this leisure.

Standing under the west window, with his back to her, he squinted slightly, looking at the old camphor under the corridor. Camphor is common in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are few in Beijing. Unconsciously, I remembered an allusion about oranges.

The orange is born in the north of Huaibei. What should she do if she changes the water and soil for life and nurture?

He looked back at her, and happened to meet her dark eyes with some inexplicability. The eyes were very bright, but she deliberately covered up the brilliance with gentleness.

This will hide the clumsy girl...... He lazily folded his arms, tilted his head to look out the window, and said something unhurried and seemingly insignificant.

"In the seventh year of Showa, there is a small election every three years in the palace. Female students from all over the country are exempt from the recommendation test, and all of them are admitted to Beijing as candidates. Those who disobey the order will be sentenced to slavery and cannot be expelled for life. His family stripped the title, and some of the officials in the court were cut down and removed from their posts, and they were never reused. ”

word by word, there was a loud sound, and she was caught off guard and her soul was scattered.

looked at him in a daze, as if he had only met this person today. Alternative to Beijing? These four words were full of stuffed into her brain, and when she was defenseless, she was hit on the head, which really hit her dizzy, up and down, and hurt everywhere.

"Alternate...... Lady-in-waiting? He muttered in a low voice, with a wooden face, only to feel that the first ten years had been in vain. After the accident of the Zhang family, she even prepared for the marriage of the family, even if she married in the future, the husband and wife respected each other like guests, and there was no harmony between the piano and the chords, as long as she could firmly occupy the position of the housemother. Even if it is for himself, for his family, and for his children.

His mind was in a mess, and he didn't notice that he was near. She frowned deeply, and her ten fingers clasped the tea bowl desperately, as if holding a life-saving straw, forcing herself to calm down.

"Seven years from Showa, two years from now? When was there such an edict, why have you never heard of it? ”

It's not that there are still flukes. These words came from his mouth, how could they just fool people. However, she is such a character, maybe she really has to be at the end of the road, and when she sees the coffin, she is willing to accept her fate.

He bowed slightly, soothing the top of her hair. Such an act is full of care.

"The edict has been issued, and it will arrive in the states in the near future. Through your news, I got it from the Imperial Prison. Caressing her fine velvet hair, although there is pity, but there is no softness.

When it was time for her to take responsibility, he would never allow her to flee without a fight.

His face was so close to her, and she looked at him blankly, trying her best to remember all she could know, the bits and pieces about the palace maid.

Palace maid, what kind of life is that? was elected to the court at a young age, and lived secretly in the harem where there was no blood, but there were clear guns and cold arrows everywhere, and he was a slave for others. Walking with a chin always on his head, he doesn't dare to laugh heartily. When you see the master, you have to kneel, the aunt of the foreman has to kneel, and even the eunuch in power has to kneel. In the women's school for so many days, I have seen a lot of people from the palace, whether it is a female official or a first-class palace maid, they are all poured out of a mold, and they are rubbed with humility and respect in their bones and blood.

When the age comes, some of them can be released from the palace. If you are promoted by the master, you will be able to rise and climb a rich family. wanted to marry into a family and be a housewife, but she missed Shaohua, and it was extremely difficult to wait for the opportunity to be good. Eighteen out of the palace, which family will still hang the position of the main mother, waiting for the vacant position? Most of the men have fifteen crowns, and the sooner the ceremony is completed, the media is marrying the lady of the head. If you are picky, or if you are delayed by such and such things, at most you should have children at sixteen or seventeen.

The eighteen-year-old palace maid is really old, and tomorrow will be yellow. Xu's family affairs did not mean to be the step-aunt of the powerful family, so she could only lower her own price and go to the wealthy family to show off her seniority. Although he can be in charge of the backyard, he is stained with the most disgusting copper smell of the clan, and it will be difficult to hold his head up in the future.

is even more miserable, if the master has the intention of wooing and directly matches the favored eunuch as a countermeal, it will almost cut off the way back.

There are also people who are very popular, and they refuse to give in, so they simply comb their hair, and they don't go out of the palace for the rest of their lives, and they don't get married. The master is serving, and when it will be a head, God really knows.

At this time, her mind was unusually clear. Obviously, it should be a mess after being hit, but everything has been figured out.

He watched her patiently. After the girl's initial shock, there was panic, disbelief, pain, and depression in her eyes. even brought some resentment, I don't know whether I was resentful of the edict, or resentful of him for bringing her to where she is today.

He sat there with her, and he had no intention of holding anyone disrespectful in his heart. Whether it's King Wen, he's on his own. A person like her, when she is aggrieved, she loses her temper. She also knows how to measure, she is too sensible, she is angry and quiet, only a small flame is dancing in her eyes, and she doesn't know which one she is cursing.

He bent down and picked up a stool and sat down beside her, took her cold little hand, and warmed it in his palm. In the end, she is a little girl, and she suits his heart, and she should be hurt by him.

She is uncomfortable, once she enters the palace, she is not allowed to go home for many years. It's just that it's hard outside, and you have to worry about home. is tormented inside and out, how tenacious she has to be in order to regroup and live a less complaining and self-deprecating life.

I don't have the heart to pull with him at this time. As he kneaded her and kneaded her into a meat ball, she didn't bother to say anything. Those who are going to enter the palace as slaves are still afraid of being innocent. I don't know if it's useful to keep my innocence and do it in the future.

The seventh girl was angry when she heard the bad news, and she was worried about her own life, and she was not as good as the third girl who was called a medicine jar at home. At least Jiang Zhi's marriage is still in charge of his wife, and the future is visible.

Then he saw this person holding her hand, his handsome face was calm, and his eyes were looking at her with a faint face. A tone even more melancholy than her, "Like you, being a palace maid is indeed wronged." ”

It's okay not to say it, but as soon as she says it, she can't stop being aggrieved! Who is responsible for this? Without the idea that the prince arrested her and wanted to enter and leave the official school, she could be like meat on the chopping board, miserable and miserable, and she would be sent to the palace to beg for a living?

Pursing her lips and glaring at him, she pushed harder as she got closer. Make sure he can see the annoyance in her eyes.

These days, she also figured out a little bit of his temper. When he comes to him, as long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, this person is still very tolerant and generous. So she told him with a small look and a big way that her heart was not happy!

A serious husband can't count on it, and in the future, he will have to be pulled from him, and King Wen will take his life. The more I thought about it, the colder my heart became, and a pair of eyes were about to burn.

There was a nudge on the top of her head, and she waved away his big evil hand as she heard him sigh.

This man is really unfathomable, and he has not seen his complexion change in the slightest. No matter how stupid she is, can she guess that King Wen's move can be done for no reason? It's not just for those thorns. The Guogong Mansion is proper, and it bears the brunt!

It's really calming...... The culprit is not in a hurry, and he can still pat her head here.

Grabbed her breathy little hand and reached over with the other hand to twist her chin. Fleshy, soft and smooth.

"So stupid." Lifting her jaw, he slowly approached, the tip of his nose almost touching hers. There was a gloom in her eyes that made her palpitate. There is no end in sight, and it is darker than the bottom of a well where there is no light.

The man dragged her chin with his fingers, his thumb slowly running over her cheek. As soon as he spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, and there was a kind of enchanting warmth. "The edict is only a small election, and will it not be more open-minded and cross this threshold? Instead of letting you go to the harem to seek death, it is better to die clean outside. ”

He stared at him worriedly, and his soft but unusually cold words were in his ears. But she clearly saw the soft color in his eyes, so light, so light, that if she was not careful, she would miss the gentleness in his eyes that she had never seen before.
